After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

Nangong Yuan couldn't help but tighten the sword in his hand.

Countless guesses flashed through her mind, but she had no clue.

"It doesn't matter. If I had known that things wouldn't be that simple, I would have gone back first."

Xiao Heyun was not surprised at all.

He knew how cunning and vicious his opponents were, and that they would hide and no one could find them.

"Oh, I should have known I shouldn't have stayed in Wucheng for too long."

But that's not why they didn't catch up.

They have people in government offices and among merchants, so they can get things in so quietly.

And... they were very cautious and did not reveal their whereabouts from beginning to end.

"It has nothing to do with that. This is a tough battle and it may take a long time to find out."

Xiao Heyun was not in a hurry.

He asked people to keep an eye on Qingzhou, but so far no signs of a large-scale outflow of muskets have been found.

Although this thing is very lethal, it is not cheap to fake it and it cannot be made casually.

So a few people walked around the front hall and prepared to leave.

"Oh, why are all these distinguished guests here? I wonder if my family is not hosting them well enough."

Li Jin shook his head and said, "It's boring, so I plan to leave first."

"I see. You can actually watch for a while longer. The essence of this auction is at the end. There are many good things in it."

Although the man encouraged and dissuaded them, several people turned around and left as if they were deaf.

Spend money, spend such a huge amount of money.

That was really painful for Nangong Yuan.

She has so much money, so why not go out and buy things? Isn't she being taken advantage of?

Although Xiao Heyun is a poor prince, he has seen a lot of good things.

No matter how precious these little gadgets are, they are not more expensive than those in Minghua Hall.

Besides, he was not a proud person, and he didn't want to stay any longer if he couldn't find any clues.

But in the end, one person was left behind to see if anything would appear later.

"Hey, let's go."

Nangong Yuan felt a sore back from sitting so he stretched himself and got on the carriage.

The car moved slowly along the way and soon arrived at their destination.

The next moment, Nangong Yuan raised her head slightly.

A long arrow pierced the night sky and shot into the carriage with a bang.

She subconsciously raised her sword to block, cutting the falling arrow in half.

"My lord, be careful!"

Nangong Yuan stood up quickly, blocked him behind her, and half-knelt in front of the curtain.

"what happened?"

Li Jin was outside, looking at the streets falling into darkness, and said, "Assassin, someone is following us."

The street wasn't very busy after halfway through, and there weren't even many lights on.

He stood in front of the car and could only hear the whistling of the wind in the air.

But in fact, it was not the sound of the wind, but the rustling sound of clothes.

"Everyone, be alert and protect the master!"

The secret guards nodded and surrounded the carriage silently.

"kill!"

boom!

The sound of fighting, one more intense than the other, broke out outside the car.

Nangong Yuan was about to rush out, but then she thought that it was not safe for Xiao Heyun to be here alone.

If someone breaks in, he won't be able to run away.

So she squatted there and didn't move.

"kill!"

boom!

The collision of swords made a teeth-grinding sound.

Li Jin chopped off the opponent's head with a knife, and blood appeared.

After fighting for a while, the opponent found that there was no way to break through, so he could only make a gesture, turn around and rush into the darkness.

"master."

"Don't chase me, go back first."

Xiao Heyun sat in a wheelchair with a very indifferent expression.

It seemed as if he was not the one being assassinated.

But on second thought, he had encountered many assassinations that were much more dangerous than the current one, so there was no need to make a fuss.

"What's going on? Did the other party discover our identities?"

Nangong Yuan frowned slightly, looking a little confused.

Logically speaking, Li Jin and his team should be able to do their work with confidence.

If it doesn't risk letting others find out their identities, then why would they assassinate them for no reason?

Li Jin knelt outside and pleaded guilty: "Master, it is my fault."

"Get up, go back first, we'll talk about these things tomorrow."

Xiao Heyun looked very indifferent, as if he didn't care about this matter.

Nangong Yuan did not ask any further questions about this.

She is smart enough to know that there are some things to ask and some things not to ask.

What's more, Xiao Hei has a special status and not everything can be told to her.

[Ding ding, Qingzhou's annual grand event is coming again. The three-month trade will be held in Yong'an Lane. Xiao Heyun was assassinated, and Qingzhou is also in a turmoil. Please find out the truth, find out the reason for the assassination, and improve the target's favorability. ]

The familiar electronic sound of the system resounded through my mind.

Nangong Yuan clicked on the panel to check the information.

Sure enough... Xiao Heyun's mission was carried out in conjunction with the firegun incident she had investigated before.

Moreover, these two things seem to be closely related.

She nodded her chin and said, "The fire gun case is related to Xiao Heyun, right?"

[It is closely related to the mission target, but it is not aimed at him. 】

Sometimes the system would do some human things, for example... giving her insignificant hints.

But this is very beneficial to Nangong Yuan.

Because even the slightest spoiler would affect the direction of her investigation.

"I understand."

In other words, the person who assassinated Xiao Heyun was most likely the one with the musket behind him.

The musket was discovered in Wucheng before, and Wang Yueshan's group revealed a flaw again.

Then, the direction seems to become clearer.

She racked her brains and put together the clues she had found before.

[The progress of the fire gun mission is 30%. The key items are the fire gun, the dark crossbow, and the love element bead. Please keep working hard. ]

Nangong Yuan clicked the cross, checked his task progress and points, and fell silent for a rare moment.

After that, he looked at Xiao Heyun beside him, his expression slightly hesitant.

If she wants to investigate the case, she can't take Xiao Heyun with her.

After all, he has difficulty walking, so it's not that easy.

"what happened?"

But the man seemed to see through what she was thinking and asked.

"This matter is not simple. I want to check it out."

Xiao Heyun nodded: "Let Li Jin accompany you."

"No need, he has to stay by your side, he should be very busy, I can go by myself."

She is used to being alone and is not very adaptable to working with a large group of people.

"Okay, but you must be careful. If anything goes wrong, withdraw immediately and don't fight."

Nangong Yuan nodded: "I know, don't worry."

She has so many tasks to do, and she always finishes them quickly.

Moreover, Nangong Yuan herself is quite strong, so she won't be forced into a very embarrassing situation.

The few times I was injured were because the situation was too dangerous.

Otherwise, she would have completed the ordinary task long ago.

It's not like I have no idea here.

"Well, go early and come back early. If you have any problems, find Li Jin and he will help you."
