Reborn Female Assassin Falls in Love with Tsundere Little Prince

Shangguan Zimeng's guess was correct. Wudu and the others' appearance today must be related to this matter. She couldn't help but ask, "Did something big happen in the city? You sent Wudu and Qingyue directly."

Based on her understanding of him, he would not let Wudu go personally unless it was a big deal. But this time he sent two powerful secret guards, which showed that this matter was of no trivial matter.

Yan Kaiyu ordered his men to take the four men away, stretched his back and said, "Not long after you left, someone came to report that a male corpse was found in the east of the city, and someone among the onlookers recognized him as the son of the innkeeper. You were going to the east of the city, and I was afraid that you would encounter any danger, so I sent Wudu to protect you secretly."

He paused and continued, "As for Qingyue, I'm not sure. Logically speaking, I ordered her to monitor the circus troupe in the east of the city, so she shouldn't appear in the inn."

Shangguan Zi dreamed of the clothes the two people in the inn were wearing, and recalled what Jiuer said today, that the circus troupe in the east of the city was from out of town.

"Could these two people have any connection with the circus?"

Yan Kaiyu propped up his head and laughed, "My dear, don't think about it. With your brain, you won't be able to figure it out until tomorrow. Let's wait until Wudu and the others come back."

She glared at him, but felt that what he said made sense. After all that trouble, she was a little hungry, so she left him and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

"Why did you leave me alone again?"

"Then come with me."

Yan Kaiyu wanted to leave, but the injury on his left leg had not healed yet. He gestured for someone to lift up the sedan chair and followed.

A moment later, Wudu and Qingyue both returned with blood still on their bodies. Returning with them was a tied-up, thin man.

Yan Kaiyu saw the blood on their bodies and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Are you injured?"

"what?"

Wudu and Qingyue looked at each other, obviously surprised that the prince would say that.

"Your Majesty, this is not our blood, it belongs to those two assassins."

He was no longer nervous, his expression became relaxed, and he said calmly: "It's from an assassin, that's good, that's good."

Shangguan Zimeng couldn't wait to ask: "Where are the two assassins?"

"To answer your question, Princess. We originally wanted to capture them alive, but they refused to comply and took the poison in their mouths and died. But we did gain something. The assassin that Qingyue followed ran all the way to the vicinity of the East City Circus and found this man sneaking around, so we captured him."

"Another circus troupe." Shangguan Zimeng looked up and down at the thin man in front of her: "Who are you?"

The thin man looked helpless and unwilling as he stared at them and said, "On the way back from arresting me, I told them that I was General Ye's subordinate, but they refused to believe me and just tied me up and brought me here."

Shangguan Zimeng showed her badge and asked, "You said you were Uncle Ye's subordinate. What's your proof? Like a badge or something like that."

The thin man replied, "Originally, there was one. General Ye was afraid that we would reveal our identities, so he took the badge back before sending us out to follow us."

"Is there anyone in this mansion who knows you?"

"City Lord Ye knows."

"What a coincidence! Grandpa went to the military camp today."

The thin man looked at her and said, "So you are the young master mentioned in the letter, the one the city lord has not been able to find. I was ordered to look for you. I am honored to meet you."

"Ah? You're welcome." She thought this person was trying to get close to her: "Besides Grandpa and Uncle Ye, no one else knows you? Ye Kai doesn't even know you?"

"Young City Lord really doesn't know. I and others are a secret organization founded by City Lord Ye and General Ye. We are responsible for espionage operations at the border. The organization is very confidential, and the others really don't know."

This made her very confused. She stared at him and asked, "Since it is a very confidential matter, why did you tell it today? Are you lying?"

The thin man fell to his knees with a thud, looking tremblingly at the gentleman sitting in the hall.

"Your Highness is here. I dare not hide anything. General Ye has instructed that if I see Your Highness, I must tell the truth."

Shangguan Zimeng turned around and looked at Yan Kaiyu who was leisurely drinking tea, with a harmless look on his face. Could this thing be so powerful?

She tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Okay, it's not difficult for you. I'll just believe you for now. Uncle Ye will be back soon anyway, so we can confront him face to face. Let's take him away first. Husband, what do you think?"

He nodded approvingly.

He had sent people to investigate this secret organization in Zigui City. If the leader of this organization was not surnamed Ye, he would have sent people to deal with it long ago. After all, the imperial court had a clear order prohibiting local governments from setting up spy organizations privately.

The purpose of his coming to Zigui City this time was not only to find relatives for his wife, nor was it just to get rid of Ma Yi, Gao Xin and other scums of the world, but also a very important point, which was the Ye family who was at the border and had a large number of troops.

As a descendant of the Yan Dynasty, he cannot ignore these potential risks.

On his way here, he thought carefully in his mind: If the Ye family is really the princess's relatives, then there is no need to restrict them too harshly; but if the Ye family is not the princess's relatives, then he can only treat them like he treated He Pingnan.
