A genius girl with her own space
Chapter 23 Assassination of the Prince
Qiqi enjoyed her parents' love every day, her little mouth busy all day long, sometimes snacking on a cake, sometimes a peach, sometimes an apple, sometimes popping melon seeds, and playing with Xiaobai. Her life was comfortable. Her busiest time was dealing with the secret door, and Wang Yunlong wouldn't disturb her unless it was something important. Secret Door's business was booming, and assassination missions were rare.
A white dove landed in the courtyard. Qiqi waved, and the dove flew to her hand. Qiqi took the letter from the dove's leg. It was from the secret door. "An order to assassinate the crown prince has been received." It had been rejected and not accepted.
Qiqi replied: "Next time, take it. Why not make some money if you're paid? Take it. We can set up a plot with the Crown Prince about the assassination. They're all going to kill my senior brother. I need some money first so I can earn some interest. Also, we must find out who hired the Dark Door to assassinate the Crown Prince. They're so bold. The Crown Prince is the senior brother of the Dark Door boss and is protected by the Dark Door."
A few days later, the pigeon came again with a letter. Qiqi gave the pigeon a spiritual fruit. After eating it, the pigeon's eyes rolled around and it became more spiritual. The pigeon rubbed its head against Qiqi's hand to express its gratitude. Qiqi touched the pigeon's head and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
The letter stated that it was General Yu, the father of Concubine Yu, who hired someone from the secret door to assassinate the Crown Prince. More than a decade ago, General Yu was stationed at the border when the Yongning Kingdom invaded. General Yu had his right hand crippled by the Yongning Kingdom's marshal, and even now, he can't hold heavy objects with his right hand, and can no longer lift a broadsword to fight on the battlefield.
General Yu felt that he had served his country and his people so well, but his fate was ruined, and he was not valued by the emperor. The emperor had also given his grandson, the Second Prince, a sinecure. Now General Yu had deposed someone who hated the imperial family even more.
General Yu wants to push the second prince to the throne, so he must kill the crown prince first before he has a chance to take the throne.
Seeing Ning Xiang's tragic death, General Yu changed his strategy and stopped his men from assassinating him. He wanted to hire someone to kill him, and do it secretly. General Yu never dreamed that the secret door would fall into Qiqi's hands, and everything he had done would be exposed to Qiqi.
Qiqi had Wang Yunlong stage a fake assassination attempt on the crown prince to confuse General Yu. Qiqi wanted to have someone stake out General Yu's residence to see who frequently visited and who they were colluding with to murder the crown prince. However, she had no one on her side.
Qiqi felt that having a secret door was like having eyes, but she also needed to train a group of experts to hide in the dark in the capital to protect the Jiang family and the prince. They were all people she cared about.
Yun Jizi called out to Qiqi to let him out. After days of refining, the longevity pills were now radiant with purple patterns and fragrant. He gave two pills to Qiqi, asking him to give them to his parents. Qiqi embraced her master's hand and acted coquettishly, expressing her gratitude.
Qiqi told her master about General Yu and the secret door. Yun Jizi said, "Your senior brother is currently serving as regent and is a bit busy. Let's not disturb him for now. I'll send disciples from the Taoist temple to monitor the Ding residence." "Thank you, Master."
"Master, I also need to train a group of people. I'll go discuss it with my brother." Qiqi went to find brother Yunlei.
I told my brother about my idea. Yun Lei suggested taking in some beggars and raising them from a young age. Yun Feng would teach them knowledge and formations, while Xie Lei would teach them martial arts. I'll have Xie Lei do it right away. We'll also buy them a house outside the capital for them to live in. You can go check it out when you have time. I'll go make the arrangements first.
"Brother, thank you." Xie Lei ran through the streets and alleys of the capital today, saw many little beggars, and selected more than 20 smart ones and took them to the house he bought outside the capital.
Qiqi arrived at night wearing a veil and met these twenty or so little beggars. After they arrived, they had bathed, changed into new clothes, and eaten a full meal, their eyes brightened. Qiqi told them that she would provide them with food, shelter, and help them learn to read and practice martial arts, so that they could become useful people in the future. Qiqi demonstrated her Qinggong skills. Seeing Qiqi, who was only a few years their age, perform such high-level Qinggong skills, flying around, the little beggars clenched their fists and wanted to learn them. Qiqi encouraged them, saying that if they studied hard, they would become martial arts masters.
Qiqi's Hidden Sect was officially established. Brother Xie Lei was in charge, with Qiqi as the master. Brother Xie Lei was the deputy master. Yunfeng was the military advisor. After several months of training, they selected those who were involved in intelligence and secret contacts, investigating corrupt officials, and monitoring officials of all ranks in the capital for any malicious intent. They also monitored those close to the Ding family.
Whenever Qiqi had time, he personally trained them in assassination techniques, which made these secret guards even more venerable to their master. Yun Jizi often refined some body-strengthening pills and distributed them to them, which helped them improve their martial arts skills rapidly.
Qiqi went to the Xu Mansion today to play with Sister Xu Yunfang. She missed Sister Xu after being away for several years.
When Xu Yunfang saw Qiqi coming, she happily picked her up and kissed her a few times. She also took out the most delicious cakes in the house and let Qiqi taste them. Seeing that Qiqi liked to eat those cakes, she silently wrote them down and took some back for her when she left. Qiqi handed the letter written by Brother Yunlei to Sister Xu. Xu Yunfang took it shyly and did not open it to read. Qiqi thought Sister Xu was embarrassed to read it. After playing for a while, Qiqi said goodbye and went back. Xu Yunfang asked the maid to fill a big box with Qiqi's favorite cakes and let Qiqi take it back.
Qiqi thanked Sister Xu and asked Xu Yunfang to go to Jiang Mansion to play another day. Her brother Yunlei was out and would be back tomorrow.
It's autumn now, and the annual hunting season begins tomorrow. Today, the emperor, the crown prince, the other princes, and the officials have gone to the palace in the enclosure. The hunt begins tomorrow.
The emperor announced the start of the annual hunting, and whoever could pull out the helmet would be rewarded with a dagger.
It was the dagger the emperor had used to slay the Wolf King. It cut through iron like mud. Several princes aspired to achieve enlightenment, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic. The ministers' children were also incredibly excited. They all wanted to be the first to obtain the dagger, a symbol of warriorship.
At the emperor's command, the men on horseback rushed out like swift arrows. The emperor, majestically mounted on a chestnut horse, surveyed the surroundings with a bow in hand. Rabbit! The emperor nocked an arrow, and with a whoosh, the rabbit fell. The ministers and guards cheered, "The emperor is as heroic and powerful as ever."
The prince led the guards and took another path. He stopped his horse and told the captain of the guards to protect the emperor's safety and to send a few more experts to protect the emperor.
The prince also hunted several pheasants, rabbits, and a large wild boar. As soon as he killed the boar, he felt the ground shake, and a group of animals ran in that direction, and heard the howling of wolves. "Oh no! Are there wolves in the enclosure? They had cleared it before the hunt." "Let's go, protect the emperor!" the prince asked. "That's the direction the emperor was." A guard replied, "That's where the wolves had gone."
The prince quickly rode his horse to protect his father, and the guards followed closely.
The emperor and his guards were surrounded by a pack of wild wolves. Behind the emperor was a cliff, and a few guards guarded him while the rest fought the wolves. One guard had a piece of flesh bitten off his arm by the wolves, while another guard had his right hand bitten off, but he picked up a knife with his left hand and continued fighting. The emperor stood back, sword in hand, unfazed.
