Chapter 145: Tell the World

Chapter 145

Qin Zhao stared at the letter, recalling the time spent with Qi Yan Su Luo, trying to find the reason for her departure.

But she just couldn't figure it out.

Or perhaps she had already figured it out, but was unwilling to admit it.

"Host, it was probably because of your order that she cannot leave the residence without your permission that made her determined to leave you."

Qin Zhao disagreed, "I know she wants revenge and needs some freedom, but I said I would help her.

Before I became the imperial princess, she was still willing to stay here.

Now she has even less reason to leave.

There must be some other reason!

When I find her, I must get to the bottom of this!

If her answer does not satisfy me, I will definitely punish her!"

502 shivered, "Host is so scary, female lead is in danger!"

"502, did Qi Yan Su Luo leave with her brother?"

"Yes, they seemed to be heading back to West Lin."

"Host need not worry, she will be fine."

Qi Yan Su Luo sat by the carriage, looking at the retreating scenery outside the window.

Qi Yan Te Mu Er asked, "Little sister, what are you thinking about?"

Qi Yan Su Luo said, "Nothing, just looking at the scenery."

"Then why do you seem so gloomy?"

"Brother, when we return to West Lin, can we really restore our country?

West Lin is now controlled by Yue Country's appointed West Lin Pacification Commissioner.

Our clansmen are treated as slaves there, it's no longer the West Lin we knew."

"Don't be too anxious, brother will take care of it."

Qi Yan Su Luo withdrew her gaze and looked at Qi Yan Te Mu Er, "You've been vague about your plans since yesterday.

If you don't trust me, why did you make me come with you?

You even threatened me that if I refused to leave, you would assassinate Qin Zhao!

You know very well that I don't care about her, as long as you tell me a viable plan, how could I have any hesitation?"

Qi Yan Te Mu Er said, "You said you don't care about her, yet you agreed to leave only after I threatened to kill her!

How can I trust you?

Don't forget Zhao Yang Princess, no, she's now the imperial princess of Yue Country, she's our enemy!"

"Of course I know she's our enemy, but if I didn't temporarily rely on her, I would have died long ago!

How could I have lived long enough to see you?!"

Qi Yan Te Mu Er was somewhat moved, "Really? The people of Yue Country treated you badly?"

Qi Yan Su Luo sneered coldly, "Should I say you are naive, or stupid?

I was captured to Yue Country, I didn't come here to enjoy life.

She pulled Nangong Ling hurriedly upstairs.

Only after entering Nangong Ling's room did Qin Zhao breathe a sigh of relief.

Nangong Ling let Qin Zhao take the main seat while she sat beside her, asking, "Master has come to see me, is it about the expedition to the northwest border? Do you need me to go with you?"

Qin Zhao really wanted to bring Nangong Ling to the northwest border. Having a great beauty accompanying would make life there more interesting.

But things are not so simple. If she left, there would be no one to oversee things in the capital, which would definitely lead to problems.

And among those qualified to represent her and take charge in the capital, only Nangong Ling would do.

Qin Zhao waved her hand, "No need."

Nangong Ling sidled up to Qin Zhao and said, "But I want to go."

Qin Zhao placed her forefinger on Nangong Ling's forehead and pushed her face back a little, "I don't want you to suffer there.

The northwest border is right next to the desert, not only dry but plagued by sandstorms.

Your face going there would be a sheer waste.

I don't want the world to lose such a country toppling beauty."

Nangong Ling's cheeks flushed from the compliments, but she soon realized Qin Zhao was just being diplomatic. She asked, "Master is not letting me go for another purpose, why not tell me directly?"

Qin Zhao chuckled, "Looks like you're simple yet not stupid."

"Indeed, I have a very important task for you."

"Please speak, master."

"This imperial princess position, I have yet to stabilize.

My imperial brothers are all itching to make trouble.

After I leave, the balance in the capital will be disrupted, with high risk of turmoil at any time.

Help me keep an eye on them. If anyone dares to cause havoc, you may take action when appropriate.

If necessary, get rid of them!"

"Master, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"Very good. Of the eight top experts from my World's Best Assassins leaderboard, I'm leaving six with you.

Although the capital is not a battlefield, it is more dangerous than one. Please be very careful."

"Thank you, master."

Nangong Ling remembered she had yet to successfully recruit Yin Xuan under Qin Zhao and said apologetically, "I'm sorry I was of no help with regards to Yin Xuan."

Qin Zhao said, "It's fine, I shouldn't have gotten you involved back then.

If she had surrendered to me because of your beauty, I would have felt it lacked meaning."

"Then what does master plan to do about her?"

"Put her matter aside for now, I'll deal with it when I return."

After talking with Nangong Ling, Qin Zhao went to the Huo residence.

There was someone she had to bring along to the northwest border no matter what!

Qin Zhao waited for an hour in a restaurant not far from the Huo residence.

Only when the sky darkened did she sneak in from the tree side of the perimeter wall.

After getting in she realized she didn't actually know where Huo Jun lived!
