C77 He Was Caught off Guard by the Assassin's Arrival

Meng Zixian also knew that it was time to stop. After talking for a while, she stopped talking in an attempt to anger Song Que.

"Back to my room." Song Que stared at her.

Meng Zixian shrugged indifferently and went back to his room.

In the middle of the night, she was woken up by the sound of footsteps. She immediately opened her eyes and left the bed. She picked up her short blade and carefully looked around.

The voice came from the roof. She frowned deeply as she looked at the place with her bright and spirited eyes. She put on her shoes and got off the bed, quickly arriving at the door.

"Catch the assassin!"

There was a lot of noise and footsteps outside. She quickly turned around, put on her clothes, and opened the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she bumped into Song Que. When Song Que saw her, he relaxed a bit.

"What's wrong?" Meng Zixian was confused and wanted to ask more, but Song Qi needed to go check the situation and just left.

She followed closely behind Song Que He and walked quickly to where someone was screaming.

One of Gu Jingyuan's servant stood beside a corpse while trembling. She was crying like a weeping beauty.

The corpse had died a miserable death. His clothes had been stripped off and he was left here covered in wounds. His face was ferocious and there were also wounds on his neck. The one who had died was a jatropha.

"This is a dead person, why is there an assassin?" Meng Zixian was confused, that was the question Song Qishen asked.

The servant girl tremblingly replied, "Your servant … your servant saw a black shadow and screamed out in panic. In the end, when your servant saw the shadow clearly, that girl's corpse …"

The servant was in a trance, filled with fear.

Song Que didn't even have time to make any arrangements when Gu Jingyuan was startled. He looked over impatiently and was immediately surprised when he saw the jacaranda's corpse.

"What's going on!" Gu Jingyuan was furious.

Song Que settled him down and then went to investigate.

After some investigation, he found out that Gu Jingyuan and the two girls had a fight very late. They had only rested for a short while before the jacaranda flowers came out. They said it was a small matter.

The jacaranda was only a girl from the brothel. Naturally, no one cared about her and kept watch outside Gu Jingyuan's door in case he needed anything.

"Maybe someone wants to do something to the emperor." Song Que thought.

Meng Zixian stood beside him, pouring him some tea. Song Qishen reacted by calling her over.

Meng Zixian followed him to the door and stood there waiting. Not long after that, he heard the sound of cups breaking.

"We are going back to the city!"

"Your Majesty, you must not. "The emperor is going to investigate the Duke of Changshan this time. Only with your presence can we intimidate him!"

Gu Jingyuan suddenly slammed the table, "This time, I'm not here yet, but this assassin is. If I go, I'll be surrounded and eaten!"

"Song Qishen, this time, you are going with my token. I will not be going."

Song Que wanted to say something else, but Gu Jingyuan stopped him: "Say no more, I've already made up my mind."

"I am the king of this country. If something were to happen, the consequences would be unthinkable."

"I have given you the title of 'Lord Ginkou'. Wait here for a few days. We will return to the city first and immediately issue an order. We will dispatch troops to follow you. King Jing will lead the troops and we will go together!"

Song Que had no choice but to agree.

Meng Zixian had good hearing. She heard a few things and then sent them to you to ask about them.

"He himself is a coward who fears death. How could he speak in such a dignified manner?"

Song Que rubbed his forehead: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"This time, follow me back to the palace."

When Meng Zixian heard this, she refused, "Why?!"

"The emperor is not going to travel this time, Huai Qingge will definitely return. If she comes looking for trouble with you, this is not a good sign, you can go back." Song Que was decisive and didn't allow her to refuse.

Meng Zixian suddenly became angry, "Song Que, I will not go back. Since I have come out, there is no reason for me to go back with you."

"If you force me to return, I'll definitely sneak out or cause a ruckus in the imperial harem. I presume that when the time comes, it'll be Empress Jingfei who will have a headache."

Speaking of Jingfei, Song Qi raised her head immediately. Her eyes were like daggers as she flew towards Meng Zixian. She didn't mind but accepted it.

Song Que didn't know what to do with her and helplessly agreed. He quickly wrote a letter and told his trusted aide to send it back quickly.

Gu Jing Cheng was frightened. The next morning, he brought his men back to the city. Song Qi watched the team leave from behind.

He left a few people by his side, and once again waited for the great army and the imperial edict to come together before they headed for Jiangning.

They found an inn, and Meng Zixian, who found it tiresome to stay in the house, ran out.

There wasn't much fun around here, and there weren't many rare things. She wandered around for a long time, but she couldn't find what she was looking for.

Just as he was about to return, he saw a familiar figure.

Puzzled, she quickly followed him into an alley.

"Master!" Meng Zixian called out. The man turned around and leaned against the wall with a sloppy look.

"It really is you. I knew I wasn't mistaken." Meng Zixian saw Yang Chunzi and felt a little happy. She walked up to him.

"Shh!" Yang Chunzi pointed his index finger at the middle of his upper lip.

"Don't make any noise, I have something to do this time. Don't tell your Master Song that I'm here too."

Meng Zixian nodded and didn't ask any further questions. Yang Chunzi nodded, "You don't know how fun this area is, right? Let's go. I'll take you there."

Meng Zixian nodded excitedly and followed him.

They went to the local street of the Drum Building, which was a major feature of the area and was very prosperous. The rich children were basically gathered there, which was also one of the symbols of their status.

"What's so interesting about this place?"

"Gambling, music, antiques, etc. What do you want to enjoy?" Yang Chunzi took a few steps forward and arrived in front of Meng Zixian. His eyes were as deep as the sky.

"I-I'm not too familiar with this place. I'll listen to you." Meng Zixian was at a loss for words, and couldn't help but take two steps back.

As she was dressed as a man, she seemed petite and had a pretty face, and with Yang Chunzi's proximity, the two of them attracted a lot of attention.

Luckily, Yang Chunzi had left for two steps, so they were both safe.

"Let's go and take a look at the underground market."

"Underground market?"

Meng Zixian followed them. She didn't expect to see such a big market on Drum Street. The people there were all mixed up in different identities.

The clamor entered Meng Zixian's ears, but she was not used to it.

"The current emperor only cares about pleasures and pleasures. He has never cared about many places. This place is the true source of evil."

"You need someone to introduce you to the people who promote you. Here, the poor can fight with their lives on the line for riches. The rich can lose everything because of a fight."

Meng Zixian saw a fence surrounded by many people, all cheering and cheering.
