Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 148 Assassination

  The moon gradually climbed up, and Lin Hao walked slower and slower with the footsteps of the people around him.

   Slow down like this, does Prince Jing want to stay?

Lin Hao patted his cheek quietly, cleared his throat to break the stagnant atmosphere, a little weird, a little anxious, and a little sweet: "If someone inside Jinlinwei kills people, does it mean that the identity of the mastermind behind the hijacking of my eldest sister is wrong? Simple?"

   Qi Shuo nodded.

   The two looked at each other and thought of one person.

   "Is it the prince." Lin Hao's voice was extremely low, but his tone was firm.

   "It should be him, but we still have to find out."

  Lin Hao walked forward and brushed aside the flower branches that were naughty by the roadside: "The prince has a problem with his left hand, so he will attack King Wei?"

   She shook her head, puzzled: "But I still can't figure it out, what kind of real harm can hijacking my eldest sister do to King Wei? If my eldest sister ruins her reputation, King Wei will at most just choose a new princess."

   "So we still have to find out."

   "If the prince has news, let me know in time."

   Qi Shuo smiled and nodded: "Okay."

   "My eldest brother won't be in trouble, right?" Thinking of Jin Linwei's methods and style, Lin Hao couldn't be relieved.

   Qi Shuo was silent for a moment, and said, "Maybe there will be a little. But you can rest assured that I am here."

   "Then the prince will be troubled." Lin Hao noticed that his footsteps suddenly slowed down, he followed the other side's gaze and saw the shocked mother.

   It was Qi Shuo who reacted first and handed hello to Lin in a generous way.

   Lin shied his chin and said in a subtle tone, "Are you... a walk?"

   She was waiting at Jiaoyueju on the left and didn't come, and when she waited on the right, Hao didn't come, so she went out for a walk in a hurry, but she didn't expect to see this pair.

   Bah Bah, what a pair!

   Lin shied away that terrifying thought and stared at Qi Shuo with scrutiny.

   Qi Shuo suddenly felt nervous.

   Lin's evaluation of him echoed in his ears.

   "It's not easy either. With a crooked body, I have to support the huge palace in the future."

   "I didn't expect that Prince Jing would even ride a horse."

  Lin Hao hurriedly said: "Big brother is drunk, I will send Prince Jing off."

   Lin Shi was surprised: "Your eldest brother is good at drinking, but he is actually drunk?"

   She couldn't help looking at Qi Shuo, thinking to herself: Prince Jing's health is not good, but his alcohol intake is not small, so wouldn't his health be even worse?

Before   , she would not talk too much, but today the other party helped her nephew, and it was different.

   "The prince should drink less, too much will hurt his health."

   If this is her son, she must stop drinking!

  Qi Shuo: "…"

   Slowly, he answered honestly: "Thank you for reminding me, my nephew has written it down."

  Shi Lin quite liked Qi Shuo's listening attitude, and said with a smile, "Sir, go home soon, it's getting dark."

   "My little nephew says goodbye."

  Lin's standing here, Lin Hao naturally can't send people to the door, but a servant accompanies Qi Shuo to the door.

   and the others walked away, Lin Shi immediately asked, "Come on, tell me what's going on."

  Lin's urgency made Lin Hao a little embarrassed, and he said vaguely, "It's nothing, it's just doing the landlord's friendship for the eldest brother, and sending a gift to the Prince Jing..."

  Lin looked at her strangely: "Mother is asking you, what's the progress of those two prisoners?"

  Lin Hao was silent, even more embarrassed.

  It was she who misunderstood!

   "The two prisoners are dead."

   These words startled Lin Shi, and he couldn't help raising his voice: "Dead? How did you die?"

   Hearing Lin Hao finish speaking, Lin Shi said solemnly, "Ahaha, you did the right thing, your eldest brother has a big temperament, why don't you ask Prince Jing's son to be more reliable."

"Ah good."

   This night, Lin Hao lost sleep.

   She turned from time to time, staring at the incense **** on the ceiling in the hazy darkness.

   She doesn't hate getting along with Prince Jing, or even disgusting him to reveal his heart, but why can't she help but think of the person who died with her in her previous life?

  Perhaps, she has to find that person before she can understand her true intentions, not like a balance swinging from side to side as she is now.

  I don’t want to, I don’t want to, let’s find someone.

   Lin Hao turned over holding the Jinxiu soft pillow and forced himself to fall asleep.

  Compared with Lin Hao's tossing and turning, Qi Shuo went back and explained some things to his subordinates. He simply took a shower and touched the pillow before falling asleep. He slept for an unknown time and suddenly got up.

  Although he is a bit alcoholic, he rarely touches alcohol. The headaches made him rub his temples and start to think about what happened yesterday.

   He confessed his heart to Ah Hao!

   Recalling every detail clearly, Qi Shuo felt that his head didn't hurt so much.

   This is one thing out of his control, and one that makes him happy.

  Changshun got up when he heard the movement, and rubbed his eyes as he looked at Shizi who was already washing up: "Prince, it's not dawn yet, you got up."

  Qi Shuo raised the corner of his lips: "If you have something to do, ask Xuanyi to come and see me."

  Changshun rubbed his eyes again.

  What happened, why did the prince laugh so hard that his mouth could not close?

   Seeing him standing still, Qi Shuo raised his eyebrows: "What?"

   "Ah, the little one will go." Chang Shun ran away in a hurry.

   Cheng Shu also woke up early.

  It was his turn to be on duty today, which happened to be the morning shift.

  Cheng Shu thought about the dead man, and was absent-minded when dressing. He was reminded by the servant that he forgot to tie the belt before noticing.

  The little servant took him out of the house with a lantern: "Be careful on the Gongzi Road."

  Cheng Shu took the lantern and strode forward.

  The road has been traveled many times, and it is familiar. Although it is still dark, there are already many figures hurrying on the road.

   Among these people are the common people who are busy with their livelihoods, and there are also officials like Cheng Shu who are sent to work. Everyone is focused on their way, not paying attention to others.

  Cheng Shu was the same, thinking about things, he turned into an alley under his feet.

   That is the shortcut he takes every time.

  Compared with the wide streets, the narrow alleys are darker, and the quietness is a little scary.

  Cheng Shu didn't care and raised the lantern a bit.

   The mass of black against the wall on the left side made him feel a little strange.

   I don’t seem to have seen a protruding piece here before—not good!

When    realized something was wrong, the dark shadow that was clinging to the wall had already moved.

   The sharp light of the knife cut through the darkness and slashed towards Cheng Shu's neck.

   There is no doubt that this is to kill people.

  Cheng Shu dodged, barely avoiding the light of the sword, and almost instinctively threw the lantern in that direction, then ran back.

   There was the sound of soldiers fighting each other behind him, Cheng Shu was about to run out of the alley in one breath, and then went back.

   That's not right, he ran away, why is there still the sound of sparring?

   approached cautiously, and only by the shaking light of the lantern that fell on the ground did he see that two people were fighting together.

   Both were dressed in black, one was wearing a black scarf and the other was not covering his face.

   At this moment, the lantern went out, and Cheng Shu saw one person being restrained by the other in the peripheral vision that disappeared like a meteor.

   He couldn't tell which one was the one who just attacked him, and ran away again.

   Participated in an event these two days, and didn’t have much time to code words. The update time may be a little later tomorrow, and it should be adjusted the day after tomorrow, sorry.
