After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Your Highness, what are you..." Before Qin Li finished speaking, Xiao Jinzhi interrupted him.

"No need to say more for now, let's go back to the camp first."

Qin Li was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Xiao Jinzhi starting to walk towards the tent, he quickly followed him without saying anything else.

Although it was spring, the wind at the foot of the mountain was still a bit chilly, causing the curtain at the entrance of the camp to sway slightly.

Qin Li wanted to open the tent before Xiao Jin, but was silently stopped by Xiao Jinzhi.

The moment the sharp-jointed fingers opened the curtain, a sharp blade with a cold light pierced out of the tent.

"Your Highness!" Qin Li was shocked.

Xiao Jinzhi avoided the attack, stepped forward, flipped his wrist, and snatched the sword from the assassin's hand.

The other two assassins who were also hiding in the dark took action immediately, but they made a feint, and then immediately slashed at Xiao Jinzhi's legs.

Xiao Jinzhi flew away neatly and stabbed one of the men in black with the sword in his hand, while Qin Li attacked the other one.

The man in black, who had just been deprived of his long sword, pulled out the short blade from his waist and attacked Xiao Jinzhi again. However, he was knocked down by Xiao Jinzhi before he even got close.

Soon, all three assassins were subdued and fell to the ground. Two of them quickly bit open the poison sac and died after taking the poison. While the other one was about to take the poison, Qin Li opened his mouth and took out the poison sac.

"Who are you that dare to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince!" Qin Li asked sternly with cold eyes.

Before he finished speaking, a man in black suddenly flew out from behind a hanger with a cloak and attacked Xiao Jinzhi.

"Your Highness!" Qin Li was shocked.

Xiao Jinzhi dodged and waved out the wind from his palm. The man in black was immediately pushed back and hit the tent directly.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, he immediately broke through the tent and fled.

The man in black who was caught by Qin Li took the opportunity to pick up the short blade and attacked Qin Li. After forcing Qin Li back, he neatly broke his own neck.

"Here comes an assassin!" Outside the camp, the soldiers were shocked and quickly tried to catch the man in black who was escaping, but they still let him run away. When Qin Li and Xiao Jinzhi went out, the man in black People have flown away.

"Your Highness, I will lead people to chase him immediately." Qin Li said quickly.

"No need." Xiao Jinzhi shook his head.

Immediately, he ordered the soldiers to carry away the bodies in the tent.

"Your Highness, the assassins should have sneaked in while you were out of the camp. However, the military camp is clearly well-defended and they are still wearing black clothes. They actually sneaked into your camp like this. I'm afraid..." Qin Li didn't finish his words, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

If those men in black hadn't mingled with the soldiers beforehand, then someone must have secretly contacted them and helped them infiltrate the military camp.

"How you got in is not that important, what's important is who arranged it." Xiao Jinzhi said in a deep tone.

Qin Li thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "Based on the previous situation, the most likely candidate is the Third Prince. After all, if Your Highness really succeeds in suppressing the bandits, it will not be of any benefit to him."

In addition, the third prince had a grudge due to the previous incident with the Queen, so it was reasonable for him to send someone to attack His Highness.

"Those people just didn't come here for Gu's life." Xiao Jinzhi recalled the assassin's attack just now, and raised the corners of his lips coldly, "I'm afraid they would rather be seriously injured or injured than to take Gu's life. Destroy the orphan."

Whether it was the two assassins who wanted to break his legs, or the one who was hiding behind the clothes hanger just now, it was not a complete killing move.

Looking at His Highness, Qin Li's heart skipped a beat. He didn't want His Highness' life, but wanted to destroy Him. Could that be...

"Your Highness, could it be that Miss Chu's side has been exposed, and the emperor knows that you and Miss Chu were investigating what happened back then?"

"No, if we knew it thoroughly, these four people would definitely be sent." Xiao Jinzhi said firmly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'm afraid, as we said before, after enduring for so many years, now Emperor Xiao can no longer sit still."

He must hurry up and go back, the Imperial City is going to change.

……

Imperial City, Ning'an Marquis Mansion.

After Chu Huanyan returned from Princess Rongchang's mansion, Princess Rongchang immediately sent out people to search for Jiang Zhou.

This incident did not conceal anything, so soon, the news that Princess Rongchang was looking for Mian Shou spread.

Although everyone was discussing it privately, they had all known about Princess Rongchang's actions and style over the years, so they didn't pay special attention to her. After a few days, everyone's enthusiasm for attention dissipated.

However, the news that Chu Huanyan helped in the search quickly spread to the palace.

"Chu Huanyan..." Xiao Di stood by the window, his whole body filled with gloom, "Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Eunuch Zheng stood behind Emperor Xiao with his head lowered, "Your Majesty, I have already sent people to investigate. It was Her Royal Highness the Princess who asked Miss Chu to help find her. And according to the information from the investigation, it seems that Miss Chu just wanted to find someone in the open. I was trying to sell the princess to save face, but even though I sent people, they were not dedicated and they were just doing superficial things."

"Even if it is superficial, after all, it is someone related to Xiao Jinzhi who is involved in this matter, which still makes me feel a little uneasy."

Hearing this, Eunuch Zheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how about I ask someone to find a way to stop it?"

Emperor Xiao didn't answer, he just looked out the window and thought deeply, and then spoke after a long time.

"If Chu Huanyan is really related to this matter, she may not ask Rongchang to help find someone at this time and arouse suspicion."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"There is no need to take action for the time being, but I will send people to keep an eye on Chu Huanyan. If there is any news, report it to me immediately. Rongchang will also send people to keep an eye on it. Since Jiang Zhou has shown his face, he can't think about it again. Continue to hide." Xiao Di's tone was cold.

The evidence in Jiang Zhou's hands must not fall into the hands of others, and Jiang Zhou's life... must not be spared!

"Yes, I understand." Eunuch Zheng nodded in response, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

"explain."

"I just received a message from Fei Ge. The first wave of assassins sent failed to hurt His Royal Highness. Three died and one escaped."

Emperor Xiao narrowed his eyes. Although he knew Xiao Jinzhi's skills and understood that it was not easy to deal with him, he still couldn't help but cursed: "Trash!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to continue sending people over, or..." Eunuch Zheng paused for a moment, lowered his voice, and then continued to ask Emperor Xiao, "Who should take action?"

Emperor Xiao turned his head and glanced at Eunuch Zheng, and said slowly: "It's time to use it, let's send the message."

After saying that, he turned his eyes and said again: "In addition, you have to do one more thing..."
