The prince is very cruel

"Who are you then?" she asked nervously.

"I'm from outside, and I'm also looking for something."

"You, you too?" the woman was surprised.

Guan Ning nodded: "Can you do me a favor?"

The woman trembled: "Can we go down first? I... I'm afraid of heights..."

Guan Ning was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing. No wonder the woman was shaking. It wasn't that high.

"it is good!"

Without saying a word, he led his men to jump down.

The woman was so frightened that she almost screamed, and the severe feeling of weightlessness made her collapse to the ground.

"Are you okay?"

"No, it's okay." She said with difficulty.

"You are so timid, why do you come here?" Guan Ning asked curiously.

The woman lowered her head and said nothing.

Guan Ning had no intention of asking further questions and asked directly: "Do you have a woman named Ma Wei?"

The woman raised her head sharply and asked warily, "Why are you asking this?"

Guan Ning said: "You just need to answer whether I am or not."

"Yes, there is this person." The woman stammered.

"where?"

"Tell me why you are looking for her first, and then I will tell you." The masked woman insisted.

Guan Ning saw that she was so weak and frail, just an ordinary person, and a woman at that, so he couldn't bear to bully her, so he said, "I want to ask her for some information."

"You can rest assured that I won't make things difficult for her."

The masked woman looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly, "It's me."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap in the sky. Guan Ning was shocked and his eyes widened: "You are??"

The masked woman glanced outside and nodded.

Guan Ning was stunned. Wasn't Ma Wei Zhao Tai's favorite concubine? Why did she come to steal Zhao Tai's things and act like a thief in her own territory?

"You..." He stretched out his voice: "You and Zhao Tai..."

"He believed the words of the Taoist priest who said that a woman born on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month would bring him good fortune, so he took me for himself. It was not my will."

"If I didn't listen to him, he would kill my grandmother's entire family..." She choked up when she said this.

"I had no choice but to commit myself to him, but he broke his promise. To stop me from leaving, he killed my uncle. I don't want to live like this forever, so I'm collecting evidence of his crimes and want to report him to the authorities."

Hearing this, Guan Ning suddenly understood, and then smiled helplessly.

It would be useless to report Zhao Tai to any government agency at his level. Even if the emperor wanted to take action against him, he would not dare to do it openly. Moreover, it is impossible for him to take action against Zhao Tai just because of an ordinary person. If he wanted to take action, it would definitely be for power and interests.

He couldn't help but look at her with a hint of sympathy.

"Ok."

"Wipe it yourself." Guan Ning took out a handkerchief.

Ma Wei hesitated for a moment, took it, said thank you, and wiped her tears. She looked very well-educated, but her appearance could not be seen clearly because her face was covered.

"how about you?"

"You haven't told me yet, what do you want to do with me?"

Guan Ning took a deep breath and said seriously: "To be honest, we have the same goal, which is to bring Zhao Tai down."

"And reporting it to the police is useless."

"The only way is to kill him!"

Ma Wei was shocked and shook her head subconsciously in panic: "This, this won't work."

"Every blade of grass and tree in Guangling City is under his surveillance. His army alone numbers over a hundred thousand men, and he is accompanied by a large number of personnel every day. Even his meals are tested for poison, and anyone who sees him must stay ten meters away."

"To kill him is to die!"

Guan Ning said: "I know."

"But whether he can be killed or not is not your concern. You just need to tell me where Zhao Tai is recovering from his injuries."

Ma Wei shook her head: "I don't know where he is either."

"He has not been to Feiniao Pavilion since he returned to Guangling City. It's just that there are more people outside monitoring me."

Hearing this, Guan Ning was slightly disappointed.

"You, you can't be the one who assassinated him?" Ma Wei suddenly thought of something and her eyes became surprised.

Guan Ning did not deny it and nodded directly.

Ma Wei was shocked that she actually encountered this!

She was happy when she heard that Zhao Tai was assassinated, but when she heard that he was not dead, she fell into despair.

But if you think about it carefully, the assassination attempt caused Zhao Tai to be seriously injured, which is also a kind of hope.

She suddenly grabbed Guan Ning and said, "Master, can you please do me a favor?"
