I survived as a female assassin

Mu Yuan had already received the news when Xin Youran entered the capital city in Lao Li's carriage.

He hasn't slept a wink since he learned about Yuzhanxian's death last night. This Old Six is ​​still as stupid as ever.

Three days ago, on the night when Yu Zanxian appeared, he actually ran for her lover in a high-profile manner?

Is he afraid that others don’t know that he is investigating Yuzhixian?

General Cui had warned him afterwards, but he still managed to alert the enemy...

The Bingpo poison was traced back to Yuzhixian, and the Dali Temple will probably not find out anything either. It will most likely be judged as suicide by taking poison.

"Your Highness, who do you think killed Yuzhanxian?"

"We were just about to interrogate her, but she died. Could it be that she's from [Falling Rain], clearing her name?"

Jiemie rants in his heart. He should have brought Yuzhanxian to trial that night. It was all because of that Xin Qiji who had such bad luck that he showed up midway...

"Let our people withdraw. Where is Lao Liu now?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Ning has ordered a lot of food at the Yuemanlou Inn, and he and the man named Xin Qiji..."

Mu Yuan rubbed his temples and said in a hoarse voice, "Go tell my father that I will pay my respects to him tomorrow."

It's time to give those guys a beating.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Mu Yuan stood up and straightened his clothes. "Help me get a cloak. You don't have to follow me. I'll walk alone."

When Jiemie heard this, he totally disagreed in his heart. Is he crazy?

He is currently suffering from the Ice Soul Poison! If the poison takes effect, not to mention the medicine man, even the gods will find it difficult to save him.

But His Highness always keeps his word, and he dared not refute. Since the Jiying Sect was not working, he could only settle for the next best thing.

Jiemie quickly set off to the Jinwu Guard and found Cui Zhanting.

General Cui was furious when he heard this. It was rare for the two of them to unite on the same side. "He's really troublesome. I'll go to Yue Manlou myself."

Just as General Cui was about to leave, Jiemie stopped him and said, "How can you just go like this?"

"Your Highness went there wearing a cloak. If you appeared there for no apparent reason, wouldn't that be betraying me?"

"Do you understand what secret protection means?"

Cui Zhanting: ...

When Mu Yuan arrived at Yuemanlou, he happened to see Xin Youran and Lao Liu whispering something. Were they too close?

And Lao Liu's disinterested smile is really annoying!

"Sir, please come in. What would you like to eat?"

"A plate of braised beef in soy sauce and a pot of sweet osmanthus wine."

Although Mu Yuan's voice was low, Xin Youran heard it. She took a look at the person. He was wearing a cloak and her appearance could not be seen. What was she thinking?

He is the prince, why would he come to such an inconspicuous little inn?

"Brother Xin, you haven't finished explaining to me that song 'The Road is Hard' you just wrote!"

"The road is hard, the road is hard, there are so many forks in the road, where are you now? There will be a time to ride on the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean."

"What a heroic spirit!"

"Brother Xin is really amazing!"

"Brother Xin is so talented, would you consider coming to the capital to join the government?"

Once Xia Hou Rui gets excited, he never stops, but his ignition point is very low.

When Xin Youran heard the word "enter the government," he crossed his arms and said, "I just wrote a poem on a whim. Forget about being an official. I'm not cut out for that."

"To be honest, Xin is just a small-time trader."

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

I don't know if she's considered a businessman now. She just found a spokesperson, but she got fired...

"So Brother Xin is from a merchant family? I never could have guessed. I always thought he came from a scholarly family."

In this dynasty, the status of merchants should be the lowest, right?

However, this is not a problem. She is not a dilettante. Making money is the most important thing.

Xin Youran thought Xia Hourui would stop wanting to be friends with her once he heard she was a merchant, but he still asked with great interest, "I wonder what you sell, Brother Xin?"

Seeing that he was really interested, Xin Youran took out a bottle of gardenia ointment from her sleeve.

"This is it."

"Brother Xiahou, you can try it. If you like it, I'll give it to you."

She saw that the meal was almost finished and it was time to go back.

"It's getting late. I have to go home. Let's say goodbye now."

As she spoke, she placed some silver on the dining table.

Xia Hou Rui absolutely refused to agree. It was the first time for him to let others pay for a meal. If he told others about it, wouldn't the people in the school laugh at him?

"Please collect the money quickly. I have already paid the bill. If Brother Xin feels that you can become friends with me, please do so."

It was rare to see him so serious, so Xin Youran didn't say anything more. She picked up the silver and stood up to say goodbye. "Goodbye. Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Xiahou. I'll treat you next time I have the chance."

"Hey, you're leaving now. Where do you live? I'll take you there."

"No, no, I have a carriage."

Just as the two were trying to shirk responsibility, the crowd who had been eating peacefully suddenly drew their weapons and attacked them.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiahou Rui protected Xin Youran behind him, but the other side had more people and they were all well-trained, and they all used deadly moves.

He suddenly felt something was wrong. It seemed that these people were coming for him.

"Brother Xin, cover your ears!"

Xiahou Rui fanned himself, rose, and flew to a dining table in the center. With a few delicate flicks, the entire hall was filled with the melodious sound of a zither. Those who had been brandishing weapons dropped their weapons, their faces gentle as they enjoyed the beauty of the music...

Just now she didn't know what Xiahou Rui meant by that sentence, but now she suddenly understood!

She apologized to him for her previous ignorance. This fan is not just for showing off, there must be something hidden inside it!

At this moment, she tried hard to use her internal strength to calm her mind.

It turns out that an ordinary-looking fan can actually be such a powerful weapon.

She quickly covered her ears.

These assassins who suddenly appeared seemed to have been prepared in advance. They all tapped their ears a few times at the same time. It seemed that the sound of the fan had no effect on them, and they picked up their weapons again!

She originally thought that these assassins were coming for her, but unexpectedly they were coming for Xiahou Rui. Judging from the situation, he should not be able to defeat these people.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for death, so Xin Youran quietly took out the dagger she carried with her. When she was about to draw the knife, she suddenly felt someone covering her mouth from behind.

She raised her hand with the dagger and stabbed behind her, but the man seemed to know her movements and held her knife hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

"follow me."
