The Villain's Heart Black Moonlight

"No, but this is our money!" There was a foolish guy who hadn't reacted yet.

"Oh, you didn't complete your mission, I took it away from you."

Chi Chu blinked as a matter of course and smiled obediently: "Of course, you can also choose not to accept this order."

It was so clear at this time that even the foolish man's brain was not good enough, and he realized that they were being robbed by the thieves! The other party might be trying to get something for nothing.

This tmd...

Several killers had the urge to swear, but their lives were in the hands of the other party, so they did not dare to resist. So the killers looked at each other secretly, and the leader nodded vigorously: "Okay, then I will listen to you. We accept this order."

Chi Chu smiled with his eyebrows curved, as if he didn't notice their little actions.

"Hey... Miss, we are now considered partners, right? Why don't we take off these things from us?"

The killer spoke tentatively.

"Okay." The little girl was very easy to talk to.

At the moment when the killers felt the restraints on their bodies disappear——

A killer who was closest to Chi Chu suddenly attacked!

The dagger in his hand stabbed straight towards Chi Chu's neck!

It happened in a flash. Just when the cold blade was about to touch her snow-white skin, the killer suddenly felt that his hands could not move.

His body just froze in mid-air.

The other person is clearly right in front of me...

It was obvious that with just a little force, it would be enough to pierce through this seemingly fragile skin.

However, he completely lost his ability to move without any signs. He didn't even feel the same sense of restraint as before. This feeling of being out of control was weird in every way.

The killer looked up at Chi Chu with some horror.

The little girl was very close to him. She did not step back. Her eyes were as soft and calm as at the beginning, with a hint of indifference as if she had seen through everything.

"stop!"

A voice suddenly sounded outside the alley.

Three seconds later, Chi Chu felt someone coming from behind her, dragging her by the shoulders and taking her to the back. The man's sword slashed the neck of the killer opposite without any mercy.

Silver light flashed.

Chi Chu closed her eyes slightly, moved her hands slightly, and the silver thread returned to her body from the fallen corpse.

"How dare a thief harm the princess in broad daylight!"

Both of these incidents came suddenly, whether it was the killer in the front row suddenly attacking, or an unknown person suddenly appearing to kill people, they were all unexpected by the other killers.

Especially the killer leader——

The look in his eyes just now was just to make everyone default on their debt, that is, to take the money but not do the job, but he didn't intend to kill Chi Chu!

And what did this person who came just shout?

Princess? !

The killers felt that their brains were not enough.

"It's unfair. We didn't intend to do anything to her, and we didn't even know she was the princess!"

He quickly stepped back and shouted, even dropping the dagger in his hand to prove his innocence.

However, this explanation was too weak, because everyone, including themselves, had just watched someone holding a dagger to Chi Chu's neck.

The man who looked like a guard on the opposite side naturally did not believe it.

He turned around, and his identity was obvious—it was the guard next to the villain that Chi Chu had seen before.

So, the villain is naturally nearby?

Chi Chu's mind moved. Before she turned around, a voice sounded behind her:

"Your Highness, I am late. Are you okay?"

The sunlight from outside the alley was blocked a little. The man stood behind Chi Chu with a low voice.

Chi Chu turned around, with an innocent and well-behaved expression: "It's okay... Minister Cen, why are you here?"

"I just saw someone who looked a lot like the princess in the teahouse, so I thought of coming over to take a look, but I didn't expect to see a scene like this." Cen Jinzhao's eyes were very deep, and his expression was almost invisible in the backlight.

"But I think I should be asking you this question."

——Why are you here?

"I came out to buy food. The food from the imperial kitchen is pretty average, not very delicious." Chi Chu raised the snacks in his hand.

She had only eaten half of the glutinous rice cake.

"..."

Her behavior left Cen Jinzhao speechless.

He knew clearly that the other party was avoiding the main point and only gave a partial answer, but he could not say it out loud, as that would expose the fact that he had someone planted next to her.

"Then Princess, you shouldn't come out alone. It's very dangerous."

As Cen Jinzhao spoke, he looked at the group of killers and frowned slightly.

It was the same as Chi Chu's judgment - these people were obviously a mob with no real strength, and even the weapons they used were of varying quality. In theory, they should not have accepted such a dangerous mission.

Therefore, what the killer said just now, that he didn’t know Chi Chu’s identity, was most likely true.

"Eleven, check."

Eleven walked forward, turned over the body that he had just killed with his sword, reached out and touched the opponent's neck and face, and sure enough, he peeled off a mask as thin as a cicada's wing from it.

The face beneath the mask caused a slight commotion among the group of killers.

"We don't know this guy. He's not with us!" a killer said in panic.

"Keep investigating." The man's cold voice sounded.

Eleven squatted down and searched through everything on the body, then stood up with the dagger and shook his head: "Master, he has nothing on him. He must be someone who is here specifically for assassination or a death squad."

"But the pattern on this dagger..."

Eleven said this and handed the dagger to Cen Jinzhao.

Cen Jinzhao looked down and had already made a judgment in his heart.

Several older princes had already been crowned kings and moved out of the palace. The fiefs of several of them were relatively close to the capital. There were not just one or two people who had their eyes on the throne... but all of them.

The pattern on the dagger belongs to one of the princes. His title is An, and his fief is closest to the capital.

His Royal Highness Prince An is also Concubine Xian's biological son. From many angles, there is a high possibility that he will take action against Chi Chu.

"Please be clear, sir! The man who tried to kill the princess is not in the same group with us, and we don't know him!"

The killer leader is still trying to fight for his life.

How could he not know now that he was involved in the dispute among the nobles?

And most importantly, they really didn't do anything to the princess - but they must have the ability to do something!

"Then you have also accepted the mission to kill the princess. Although you don't know the princess's identity, you are no longer innocent standing here."

Cen Jinzhao's tone was calm, and cold as if he was declaring a fact.

"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided."
