Reborn Female Assassin Falls in Love with Tsundere Little Prince

In the afternoon, Ye Zhonghui, who had been on a mission outside for a month, returned to the Ye Mansion. He did not dare to delay for a moment, got off his horse, and went straight to meet Yan Kaiyu.

Without waiting for the prince to ask, he consciously told the whole story.

It turned out that as early as a month ago, the Ye family got news that Qin Xinzhe and Ma Yi from Sishui City colluded with each other, hoping to create chaos in Zigui City and take what they wanted. Zigui City is the northwest gate of Ziling and its strategic location is extremely important.

Ye Shenming and his eldest son Ye Zhonghui realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately wrote to the prince, asking for advice. The latter ordered them not to act rashly, but to secretly gather information first. When the time came, he would personally deal with Ma Yi.

With the prince's words, the Ye family felt like they had been given a shot of adrenaline. Ye Zhonghui personally led people to sneak into Sishui City to gather information. However, Qin Xin stung this old fox and refused to take any action. He wanted Ma Yi to be the first to take action so that he could reap the benefits.

A few days ago, he learned the news of the death of Ma Yi and Gao Xin, and felt that Zigui City must be lax in defense, so he sent his men to infiltrate the circus troupe entering the city, secretly gather information, and wait for an opportunity to act.

Ye Zhonghui sent five people to follow the circus troupe a few days ago. The other four died, leaving only the thin man Zhang Xian. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Qingyue.

"My Lord, this is what happened."

Shangguan Zimeng's head was buzzing after listening to this. She now had a clear self-position and would never get involved in things she didn't understand. She sat aside and ate snacks, watching how these power-seeking people manipulated the world.

Yan Kaiyu seemed to be thinking about something, and ordered: "General Ye, send troops to close the city gates immediately and do not allow anyone to enter or leave."

Ye Zhonghui did not say anything and immediately got to work.

He asked Wu Du who was standing in the hall, "Has the man who smashed the store woken up?"

"My Lord, I'm awake."

"Show him the body of his companion and tell him to tell you everything he knows. Otherwise, kill him immediately. There is no need to bring him here."

A moment later, the man who smashed the store knelt down in front of the hall with a sad face, begging for mercy: "Please don't kill me, I will tell you everything I know..."

This man is called Xiaoliu. He was originally a gangster. I don't know how he became a spy. It can only be said that the threshold is too low. He and the dead man both obey the spy leader Ma Sheng here, who is Ma Yi's son, so he should be a relative.

Ma Sheng had lost a secret letter with Qin Xinzhe. It happened that he saw the innkeeper's son sneaking around nearby that day. With the mentality of rather killing the innocent than letting the innocent go, he captured him and tortured him. As a result, he beat the son to death.

He still suspected that the letter was stolen by the innkeeper's son and hidden at home, so he sent Xiaoliu and another person to test the inn. I don't know if he didn't explain it clearly or he was confused by his anxiety. The two people thought that testing was to cause trouble. After all, they were gangsters in the past, and doing their old business was easy for them.

As a result, everyone knows that these two guys were very stupid. They came to the house and smashed things in broad daylight and were caught red-handed by Shangguan Zimeng. One of them was even killed in the street.

After listening to his bizarre story, Shangguan Zimeng couldn't help but shake her head and stuffed her mouth with snacks. She sighed in her heart: There really are people in this world who are less intelligent than me, and yet they can still be spies. I can do the same.

Yan Kaiyu looked at the empty cup and plate in front of her, then looked up at her full mouth, and silently moved the tea towards her.

"Where is the secret letter?"

"To answer grandpa's question, this little one doesn't know."

"Just now you said you had seen Mr. Ma?"

"To answer Grandpa, I have seen him. He is so ugly that I can recognize him even if he turned into ashes."

She took the tea and sipped it, feeling relaxed all over. She said, "This one looks quite like his father. They are both ugly. He must be his biological son. Rumor has it that Ma Yi has many children, but few of them are his biological children."

"This lady is right."

"It seems my gossip is quite accurate."

"Cough cough."

"What's the matter? Are you sick?"

"..."

Yan Kaiyu looked at her speechlessly, then sat upright on the chair, looked down at him and said, "I will give you a chance to live. Tonight I will send soldiers to capture all the people in the circus, and then you will identify who is the spy among them. Are you willing to do it?"

When Xiaoliu saw that there was a chance to survive, he immediately expressed his gratitude: "I'm willing to do it. Thank you, Grandpa..."

When Wudu took him away, he kept thanking his grandfather.

Shangguan Zimeng's brain does not work well sometimes, but that is only sometimes. One has to admit that she can be quite smart sometimes.

She asked her question: "My husband, I heard from Jiuer that the circus is very popular, especially at night. If you send troops to catch them, what if those spies get desperate and hurt the people?"

Yan Kaiyu had to admit that he had ignored this problem. He looked at her with approval and truly thought that this girl was kind and cute.

"My beloved concubine is more thoughtful. I am not as good as you."

She covered her mouth and smiled, feeling a little proud.

"No, no, no, you are the most cunning one. You should quickly figure out how to deal with this problem."

"..."

Is treacherous also a compliment?
