The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 850: Backhand, Prince Xiaos entrustment

Xiao Tianyao was not angry with Lin Chujiu at all. He was just angry with Lin Chujiu for risking herself and not putting her safety first.

However, he will not say these things. If Prime Minister You and the others misunderstand it, then let them misunderstand. There were mistakes. Although things were not as expected, they still achieved the effect he wanted.

Under the persuasion of the ministers, Xiao Tianyao said with a dark face: “Come here, escort wangfei back.”

“Yes.” The guard stepped forward, surrounded Lin Chujiu, and left.

Lin Chujiu knew that she had no right to speak at this time, so she honestly followed the soldiers back to the tent.

“Wangfei, we will guard outside. If you need anything, please call us.” The guards retreated respectfully, Lin Chujiu nodded and sat on the main seat in a daze. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

There was only one shadow guard beside her when the assassin sneaked into the camp. If she doesn’t use her body as bait to lure the enemy, she will have no way out.

She did nothing wrong, okay?

Even if she ruined Xiao Tianyao’s plan, so what? Could it be Xiao Tianyao’s plan was more important than her life?

In Xiao Tianyao’s point of view, maybe his plan was more important, but in her heart, her life was naturally more important. What’s wrong with her choosing to save herself?

“It’s obvious that I’m not wrong, but I still foolishly admit it. I don’t know what to say.” Lin Chujiu silently covered her face, lying on the table and pretending to be dead.

When did she feel like she was wrong?

It was when Xiao Tianyao appeared, ran up to her with a dark face, and question her, making her feel like she had made a huge mistake.

“I was frightened by Xiao Tianyao’s black face, and I foolishly admitted that I was wrong. I was so stupid.” Sure enough, things like aura were very important. She did nothing wrong, but facing the tough Xiao Tianyao, she would consciously feel guilty.

“Too bad, I didn’t ask Xiao Tianyao to explain. He knew the assassins are coming, but he didn’t send someone to protect me, instead, I was scolded by him.” Lin Chujiu felt that the more she lived, the more she went back. She used to be calm and will not be affected by Xiao Tianyao’s aura at all, but why can’t she hold it back now?

“Male sex misleads people!” After thinking about it, Lin Chujiu also felt that this was the only possibility.

Xiao Tianyao paid a lot of money to protect Lin Chujiu, but Jing Chi, the number one assassin who had no chance to make a move, snorted disdainfully when he saw Lin Chujiu’s crazy appearance.

How many times was this?

He took so many entrustments from Prince Xiao to protect Princess Xiao, how many times did he complete it?

Last time, it was Demon Lord who took action to save Princess Xiao; this time was even better, Princess Xiao saved herself before he could make a move.

“Sure enough, I have to be like Moon Shadow Building. I shouldn’t have accepted tasks related to Xiao Wangye. Whether it is killing people or protecting people.” Accepting Prince Xiao Wang’s commission was tantamount to smashing his brand. If he continues like this, will he still be the number one assassin in the world? It would be a shame.

“Xiao Chichi, what’s the matter with you?” Tang Tang was watching the excitement. Seeing Jing Chi’s decadent face, he asked in puzzlement.

“The task has not been completed.” Jing Chi said unhappily with a cold face.

According to Prince Xiao’s stinginess, if the task was not completed, there will be no money to pay. What will he use to raise Tangtang?

Could it be that he wants to take on the killing mission again?

“It’s not easy to kill Prince Xiao, so many assassins fall into the hands of Xiao Wangye. We’d better not make a move.” Tangtang, confused about the situation, tugged at the hem of Jing Chi’s clothes: “Let’s go, Xiao Wangye’s gold is not easy to earn.”

Jing Chi was too lazy to explain and nodded casually: “Indeed, Xiao Wangye’s money is not easy to earn. We should go back.” Even without Prince Xiao, he could take other commissions.

“Let’s go, let’s go, I don’t like this place.” Seeing so many colleagues dying in front of him, Tangtang expressed that he was very unhappy. He didn’t like Prince Xiao anymore.

Prince Xiao was too ruthless. They were just taking money from others to do things for them. As for being ruthless?

Tangtang has never been a person who can hide his thoughts, Jing Chi can tell what Tangtang was thinking with just a glance, but he has no intention of explaining.

Tangtang doesn’t need to understand these things, he can handle them himself.

Before Jing Chi left, he checked the surroundings again and cleaned up the timid assassins who were hiding in the dark. He left a special mark and left quietly with Tangtang.

With these two people, it can also prove that he made a move, and Prince Xiao’s commission will still be given.

Prince Xiao, who returned to the camp with Prime Minister You, did not talk to him, nor continued to talk about the unfinished business. He simply said a word and left everyone to deal with the sundries.

As soon as Prince Xiao left, the initially determined Prime Minister You and others immediately quieted down. They looked at each other, but no one said a word.

A man with the appearance of a general stepped forward, opened the tent, looked left and right, made sure that Prince Xiao had not sent anyone to watch, then nodded to everyone.

Some people who couldn’t hold their breath saw this and hurriedly said: “Prime Minister, what do you think of this matter?”

“It’s either Xiao Wangye who directed it, or those people in the palace did it.” No one was a fool, so naturally they can understand.

“I’m afraid it’s not Xiao Wangye. Xiao Wangye is very fond of Xiao Wangfei. If he directs and acts on his own, he won’t risk Xiao Wangfei.”

“It’s hard to say, maybe Xiao Wangye just caught our psychology and deliberately let Xiao Wangfei show up so that we will believe it is true.”

“These people are not acting. They want to kill us. Killing us is not good for Xiao Wangye.”

The moment the assassins made a move, they felt that these assassins were really here to kill them, and not just act.

It was because of this that the ministers were angry and panicked. They have been in the court for decades. It was not that they have not encountered assassination by enemies, but this was the first time they have encountered such a large-scale assassination.

If Prince Xiao hadn’t happened to be here today, they would have died tragically at the hands of those assassins.

“Okay, now is not the time to talk about these things, this matter is very strange. You just need to remember that our lives were saved by Xiao Wangye. We will talk about other things when we return to the capital.” Prime Minister You said as soon as people started arguing.

No matter who was the mastermind, as long as they move their hands, there will be traces. With so many assassins dispatched at once, it was impossible to find anything.

The prestige of Prime Minister You was extremely high, no one dares to say more when he speaks, and everyone became serious.

In the palace, the Empress received the news of the mission’s failure immediately.

*Pa* The Empress didn’t show any emotion on her face, but her nail broke.

“Empress?” The old mama was startled and raised her head cautiously.

The Empress took out the handkerchief, wrapped the severed fingernail, and said with a normal face: “Clean up things, don’t let people find out, I don’t want the court to be unstable.”

There was another meaning to these words, that was, someone can find out, but she can’t be found out. She still needs the support of the courtiers right now!
