At night, a light rain accompanied by a cool wind drifted down.

Zhao Qingzhi was half asleep and half awake, and felt that there was a slight noise on the roof, so she opened her eyes slightly, and listened carefully to the fact that there was indeed a noise on the roof from time to time. Thinking of the two assassinations encountered during the day, her heart tightened, she raised her head slightly, and looked at Jiang Jingqiao: "Your Highness."

"Hush!" Jiang Jingqiao closed his eyes and patted Zhao Qingzhi's hand, "It's okay, don't be afraid, go to sleep, Qingyan can solve it."

Zhao Qingzhi was lying gently in Jiang Jingqiao's arms when she heard the words, hearing the sound of the roof being trampled on, she was afraid at first, but Jiang Jingqiao's composure at this moment made her feel at ease.

Zhao Qingzhi smiled silently. In the past, she always felt that Jiang Jingqiao was young and indifferent, but now she has stabilized her temper in the face of danger. Presumably, one cannot live a life in vain. Both she and Jiang Jingqiao are no longer the selves of their previous lives.

After a while, there was only a thud, and then the door opened. In the darkness, the footsteps were getting closer and closer. Zhao Qingzhi's little hand was tightly grasping the clothes around Jiang Jingqiao's waist.

Jiang Jingqiao put his arms around Zhao Qingzhi's shoulder, patted it lightly, opened his eyes and said, "Don't be afraid, it's Qingyan."

"Your Highness." Gao Qingyan stood five steps away from the bed.

"Someone caught him?" Jiang Jingqiao let go of Zhao Qingzhi and sat up.

"Two ran away and three were captured alive."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao quickly tore open the curtain, stepped on her shoes and stood up, wondering, "Can you still catch him alive?"

"One has bitten the poison in his mouth, but what comes out is water. When he finds out that he is not dead, he yells at the other person who was captured alive."

Jiang Jingqiao was stunned for a moment, then walked to the screen, took out his outer robe and put it on his shoulders: "This is interesting, let's go and have a look."

"Your Highness!!" Zhao Qingzhi hurriedly said.

Jiang Jingqiao turned his head and looked at the veil: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Qingzhi said slowly: "The concubine also wants to go."

Jiang Jingqiao frowned slightly, looked out the window and said, "It's raining outside, and the wind is blowing up, and besides bloody things like interrogation, you'd better stop following, Dahua will come in to accompany you."

"It's raining and windy outside, doesn't His Highness want to go out?" Zhao Qingzhi was reluctant.

Jiang Jingqiao heard the words and patiently explained: "I am a martial arts practitioner. When I was a child, I used to practice martial arts and swords outside when it rained when I was in the study room. Bad weather has little effect on me, but you..."

"It's enough for the concubine to wear more clothes."

Jiang Jingqiao pursed her lips, waved to Gao Qingyan helplessly and said, "Qingyan, you go to the porch and wait."

"Here." Gao Qingyan took three steps back, turned around and left the house.

Jiang Jingqiao went to the screen and took Zhao Qingzhi's clothes and stuffed them into the veil.

"Since you're going, put it on quickly." After Jiang Jingqiao finished speaking, he put on the clothes on his own, lit the soybean oil lamp, and took the cloak from the bag, and put it on Zhao Qingzhi's shoulders after Zhao Qingming got out of bed.

Zhao Qingzhi smiled sweetly: "Thank you, my lord."

"Thank you, I'm sorry. I don't know why you have to go with me. It's uncomfortable to sleep peacefully in the house, but you want to go out with me to suffer." Jiang Jingqiao shook his head.

Zhao Qingzhi tied the ribbon of the cloak and said with a smile: "It is said that husbands and wives share weal and woe, and this concubine is following the example of the sages who share weal and woe with the prince."

"It's really nice to say." Jiang Jingqiao laughed, tore off a piece of red tablecloth from the table, turned around and wrapped it around Zhao Qingzhi's face.

Zhao Qingzhi took a step back and said, "What are you doing, Your Highness?"

"Of course I surrounded your face, and I will also surround my own face later." Jiang Jingqiao said and asked Zhao Qingzhi to surround her face.

Zhao Qingzhi hid to the side, and refused, "It's too ugly, this tablecloth is earthy red, and the color is not right."

Jiang Jingqiao couldn't understand, is it good enough to cover his face?

"It's late at night, who will look carefully? Besides, when is this time, don't pick it up. If you want to look good, I can't get it for you at night. Otherwise, don't go, just take it with you." .”

"The concubine has them, and the concubines bring their own." Zhao Qingzhi pulled out a white veil from her sleeves, with small golden clips on both sides, Zhao Qingzhi swiftly clipped the clips on the hair behind her ears , the whole person was covered from the eyelids down.

Jiang Jingqiao blinked, it was quite beautiful to look at like this, but this is to see this moment, what's the use of beauty?Jiang Jingqiao almost rolled his eyes.

"You still have this ready when you come out?"

Zhao Qingzhi stepped forward and put her arms around Jiang Jingqiao's arm and said: "The concubine is worried that her beautiful appearance will attract many admiring sons and daughters, and she is afraid of causing trouble to His Highness, so she puts on her veil to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Jiang Jingqiao heard that she really rolled her eyes when Zhao Qingzhi wasn't paying attention. Wearing a veil would give her a sense of mystery, and the person would be more reclusive and independent, with a fairy-like appearance. Wouldn't this be more eye-catching?

"Hehe, Concubine Ai may have misunderstood her appearance." After Jiang Jingqiao finished speaking, he wrapped the torn red tablecloth around his face and tied a knot behind his head.

After Zhao Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, she said dissatisfiedly, "What's your Highness's intention? The concubine's appearance is not worthy of the words Huarongyuemei? Isn't the concubine beautiful?"

"Beautiful, very beautiful." Jiang Jingqiao said and strode out.

Zhao Qingzhi's heart was slightly blocked, she shook her head and chased after her.

In the house where the firewood was piled up, three men in black were tied behind their hands and stuffed in their mouths. When they heard the door knock, their eyes were full of horror.

Jiang Jingqiao walked to the chair opposite to the three of them, sat down with his robe lifted, and didn't speak, just looking at the three of them.

Zhao Qingzhi sat beside Jiang Jingqiao, she could feel that Jiang Jingqiao didn't mean to be in a hurry, so she waited quietly by her side.

After an hour, when the man in black couldn't bear it anymore, Jiang Jingqiao spoke.

"Who is the one who bit the poison and came out water?"

Hearing this, Gao Qingyan pointed to the one on the far left.

"Take him away." Jiang Jingqiao said in a cold voice, the one who was hard enough to bite the poison and kill himself would definitely not say anything, but the person who replaced the poison with water might be able to blow up something, "Tomorrow morning, Let Wei Bing find someone to bury him."

As soon as the words fell, the assassin in the middle suddenly knelt down and kowtowed like crazy, one sound at a time, the strength seemed to knock a hole out of the ground.

"Woooo!!!" The assassin on the left screamed excitedly.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Jingqiao smiled.

"Take the middle one out, and I will take care of the other two." Jiang Jingqiao stood up as he spoke, took Zhao Qingzhi's hand and walked out.

There was rain coming in from the corridor, Jiang Jingqiao walked quickly to the pavilion with Zhao Qingzhi in his arms, it was already a bit cold with the cool wind and the cool rain.

"Let Dahua accompany you back to the house, you will be offended all the way when you get sick." Jiang Jingqiao said gently.

Zhao Qingzhi shook her head and said: "The concubine wears a lot of clothes, so it's not cold."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao looked at Xing Wu and said, "Dahua, go and put up the umbrellas and circle around them, and fetch the charcoal fire we brought from the mansion."

Zhao Qingzhi folded her cloak and said: "I didn't expect that the charcoal fire was not used in the wild in the mountains, but it was used in the rainy night. It really cost His Highness a lot."

"You, that's just one mouth." Jiang Jingqiao shook his head.

Zhao Qingzhi heard the words and whispered: "The concubine knows, Your Highness dotes on me."

Jiang Jingqiao's heart skipped a beat, the gentle and soft words were really pleasant to hear, this Zhao Qingzhi grew up in the capital, and spoke with the accent of a southern girl.

"Kneel down!" While speaking, Gao Qingyan escorted the assassin to the gazebo.

"Remove the cloth from his mouth," Jiang Jingqiao said coldly.

"His Royal Highness Jing Wang, please forgive me, please forgive me." The assassin kowtowed desperately.

Jiang Jingqiao sneered when he heard the words: "A spineless person like you is still an assassin? Say, who sent you here?"

The assassin stopped suddenly upon hearing this.

"My king has limited time, ten count, if you don't tell me, just kill one person, it's hard to say which one to kill first." Jiang Jingqiao pulled up his robe, "One, two, three..."

"Your Highness, if I say so, can Your Highness let me go with Ah Xin!" the assassin raised his head, his eyes burning hotly begging, "Just now I had a chance to seriously injure this high guard, but I stopped."

Jiang Jingqiao looked at Gao Qingyan upon hearing this.

"Go back to your Highness, that's true."

Jiang Jingqiao frowned: "It's strange, you were ordered to kill me, but why didn't you do it hard?"

"I, I just want to leave with Xin, and there will be no more days of fighting and killing."

Jiang Jingqiao raised his eyebrows: "What's your name?"

"Adi."

"You and him are lovers?" Jiang Jingqiao asked.

"Yes, please help me, my lord!" Adi kowtowed and cried.

Jiang Jingqiao stood up, walked around Adi and said, "If you want this king to be successful, then you have to exchange something. The exchange is good. This king can forge three corpses tomorrow, so that your master will mistake you for dead, but if the things in exchange are not what this king wants, then you can only go to the underworld to be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks."

"Just how can your Highness guarantee that you will let us go after I tell you?"

Jiang Jingqiao's eyes froze: "You are not qualified to question, don't say that you will definitely die, if you say that you might have a chance, it depends on whether you dare to bet!"

When Adi heard the words, he was confused, thought for a moment and said: "I said, it's Kang Wang, we are all assassins raised by Kang Wang, and Ah Xin and I went to Beijing to find relatives, but we were arrested. Fighting and fighting day and night, Ah Xin and I were killed out of thousands of people. This time, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I felt that I had suffered, surrounded by a net, I wanted to pull Ah Xin out, but, But it's too late."

Jiang Jingqiao didn't speak, she read Adi's words carefully, and exchanged a glance with Zhao Qingzhi, the words in her heart spread in her eyes, as if they understood each other's thoughts.

"You're smart, you know you can't escape, so you won't do anything cruel." Jiang Jingqiao said as he took a scimitar from Gao Qingyan, the knife belonged to an assassin, and there was a five character engraved on the blade, Jiang Jingqiao was shocked, she In the previous life, by chance, she saw a spear engraved with five characters in Kang Wang's mansion. At that time, she teased Jiang Jingyu, when would she not engrave Kang engraved five.

It seems that Jiang Jingyu's dead men in captivity all use weapons with five characters. In this way, the first assassination encountered this morning was not Kang Wang's person. Kang Wang is not the only one who doesn't want her to go to Huaiyin. This journey is far more than she imagined. Even more dangerous.

"I keep my word and let you go. Since I want to stay with the one I love forever, then I will do my duty from now on."

Adi was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words: "Thank you, His Highness King Jing, for your kindness."

Jiang Jingqiao looked at Gao Qingyan and said, "Go and bring that Asin out, find all the hidden weapons on their bodies, untie the ropes on their feet and let them go, as for the ropes tied to their hands, let them figure it out for themselves." .”

Gao Qingyan was hesitant to speak when he heard the words, but seeing Jiang Jingqiao's firm attitude, he went to pick someone up, and watched those two people jump out of the wall.

"Your Highness, they are not kind people!" Gao Qingyan said urgently.

"Don't worry, they told King Kang's secret, so naturally they have to behave with their tails between their legs. If King Kang finds out that they are not dead, they will not be able to escape. If they are smart, they can hide their names and live in peace." Jiang Jingqiao said and looked at others. The firewood room in the distance, "The remaining one, since he doesn't have the courage to bite the poison in his mouth, then you can help him, throw the body directly to Wei Bing, and let her find the bodies of the other two dead criminals." , It was said to the outside world that some people who were assassinated and captured alive took poison and committed suicide.”

"Here!" Gao Qingyan took the order and walked towards the woodshed.

Zhao Qingzhi stood up, walked to Jiang Jingqiao's side, saw the pattering rain and said, "Your Highness, do you really believe what those two assassins said?"

"Half believe it, half don't believe it." Jiang Jingqiao looked up at the dark sky, "Kang Wang will not arrest people from the outside."
