The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

Lu Xiuzhu looked down at Zhao Wuyou, but did not see any trace of lying on her face. Helplessly, he turned around and walked away, leaving Zhao Wuyou sitting on the ground.

Zhao Wuyou clenched his fists in anger, but when he thought of Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi falling off a cliff, he smiled happily again.

Lu Xiuzhu walked into the woods alone. Only when he stayed away from Zhao Wuyou could he feel that he could still breathe and be alive.

Whenever he thought of Zhao Wuyou's smile, he had a hunch that this matter must be related to Zhao Wuyou.

But he had no evidence.

Even if he has evidence, it would be useless to report it to the emperor, right?

After all, Zhao Wuyou is the emperor's niece, and the emperor is very tolerant of Princess Yongtai's sister.

He wanted to send someone to the bottom of the cliff to look for Ah Yuan, but he had no one under his command.

Lu Xiuzhu had never felt so useless as he did at that moment. He laughed at himself and thought, so what even if he was the top scholar?

He hated his own weakness and incompetence, and hated even more that he had no power or influence. He even hated the Earl's Mansion of Chiayi, which could only be a shackle for him but could not provide him with any help.

He clenched his hands into fists and smashed them hard on the tree trunk next to him.

The back of his hand was covered in blood, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

The Imperial Guards, He Ying, Hua Manxi, Liu Yousi, and even the Zhao family's guards, all the people who could be sent out were sent out, but by nightfall, they had only just found the rugged path down the cliff, and there was no news of Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi at all.

Outside the He family's tent, a white carrier pigeon suddenly landed on the top of the tent. After two "cooing" sounds, the curtain was lifted and He Zheng walked out. He stretched out his arm and the carrier pigeon flapped its wings and landed down.

He Zheng took the letter paper from the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, then held the pigeon in both hands and released it. The pigeon quickly flew into the darkness and disappeared.

He Zheng couldn't wait to unfold the letter, took a look at it in the dim light coming from the tent, a smile spread across his face, and he hurried back into the tent.

The tent was brightly lit, the furniture was neatly arranged, and there was a map of Xishan hanging on the wall.

In the middle was a plain and heavy wooden desk, at which He Kun was buried in a book, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.

Seeing He Zheng coming in, he looked up and asked, "How is it going?"

He Zheng walked forward and whispered to his father, "Dad, it's done. Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan were shot off a cliff by an arrow."

He Kun's face was agitated for a moment, and he asked, "Really? Where is the Deadpool sent to assassinate him?"

He Zheng said, "It's true. The dead waiter was caught by Xie Zhichan's personal female guard, but the dead waiter committed suicide by taking poison and didn't reveal anything. The emperor is sending people to the bottom of the cliff to search for the person. By the time they find him, the body will surely be stinking."

He Kun slapped the table and said in relief, "These two made my He family lose face in Taiji Hall. Yingying has been harmed by them all her life! They shouldn't be alive in this world! Anyway, Miss Pei has been determined to be the Princess of Qin, and the Pei Army can't escape the Queen's palm. Now, it is more important to win over the Zhenxi General's Mansion. The Pei Army is only 50,000 people. Even with Liang Qixing, a star general, it can't match the 500,000 troops in southern Yunnan."

He Zheng smiled and said, "Father is right."

He remembered that he had something else to report to his father, and said, "However, before our people, there was already a large group of assassins chasing Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan in the forest. I don't know who sent them."

He Kun thought for a moment, sneered, and said, "It must be the prince's people. The prince's party suffered heavy losses in the Chamber of Commerce and the Enke incident. The prince is the most impatient person. How can he swallow this? He is just too arrogant. But it doesn't matter. As the saying goes, if God wants to destroy someone, he must first make him mad."

He Zhengying said: "Fortunately, the King of Qin listened to our advice and will not hold us back."

Hearing this, He Kun couldn't help but frown and said, "The King of Qin is really a little bit stupid."

He Zheng smiled and said, "With the queen and our He family here, even if the King of Qin is a little bit stupid, what does father have to worry about?"

He Kun understood the meaning of He Zheng's words and just said "hmm" but did not refute.

In the prince's tent, Prince Li Er smashed everything in the room, but he still didn't feel satisfied. He walked up to the black-clothed man who was kneeling in the tent and trembling like a sieve. He kicked him over and cursed, "What a waste! Just killing two people, but more than a hundred deadpools are gone?!"

The man was kicked to the ground, but he quickly got up and knelt again, saying, "I didn't expect that Prince Yan's Mansion would have such a powerful secret guard. Fortunately, the mission was completed. The two of them fell off the cliff and they would definitely not survive."

Li Er kicked the man hard again, and roared in a furious tone: "The whole team of deadpools that I spent so much effort to train is gone, and I haven't even seen their bodies. You told me that the mission is completed? I want to see their bodies with my own eyes! Last time at Queshan, you also said that Pei Yi would definitely not survive, but what happened in the end? Pei Yi not only survived, but he also lived for so long!"

The man in black didn't care about the pain in his body, he immediately got up and knocked his head to the ground and said: "I will send a team down the cliff immediately. If anything happens, we will kill them both and let the master see their bodies."

Li Er kicked twice with all his strength and sat down on a chair to rest. After listening to the words of the man in black, he leaned forward, stared at the man in front of him, and smiled sinisterly: "Father has sent a large number of imperial guards to look for him. If the assassin you sent is discovered by Father's people, what do you think will happen to me?"

The man in black didn't dare to look up at Li Er, and he could sense danger from Li Er's mocking tone. He just lowered his head and said, "Master, what good plan do you have? I will obey your orders."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck and blood gushed out of his body. He could no longer utter a word to beg for mercy.

I only heard a very distant voice saying, "What a waste! What's the point of keeping it?"
