Chapter 433: Capturing the Assassin
“Although today’s assassination seems dangerous, with a Celestial Realm Grandmaster taking action, if Sister is willing, I am 100% sure that Sister can keep them all.”

“You girl.”

Dayueer pursed her lips and said, “You are quite clever.”

“That’s not.”

Dayuer chuckled, which was very pleasant to the ear.

“Sister, is this letter written to the prince?”

“Ah.”

Dayueer put down her pen and said, “This happened suddenly, and the Cavalry also lost a lot of soldiers. Naturally, I need to report this to you, young master.”

“Shi Xiao.”

Dayueer spoke.

“Snapped.”

The door opened and the burly Shi Xiao walked in. He was still the same man without the mask, revealing two hideous scars, like a centipede.

“Madam, what are your orders?”

He looked respectful.

“Send the letter to Shuiyun Mountain by carrier pigeon.”

Dayueer spoke.

“promise.”

Shi Xiao took the letter and left the room. The cold wind was howling, blowing the heavy snow and hitting the doors and windows, making a humming sound.

As the sky gradually darkened, the wind and snow grew stronger, splashing and filling the entire courtyard. It was impossible to see far away.

“Sister, don’t you need to ask the prince what to do next?”

Dayuer asked cautiously.

Her position in Xiliang Prefecture was not very high, and she was not exposed to many things. Although she held the scepter of the King of Xiliang and served as an envoy to Qingzhou this time.

But many decisions need to be made by Dayueer, or Dayueer’s opinion needs to be asked. It’s not that she can’t make the decision, but that she has worries.

“Don’t ask me.”

Dayueer leaned back in the chair and stretched, looking even more majestic. She closed her beautiful eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, “You are the mastermind. My mission this time is only to ensure your safety. All other matters are up to you to decide.”

“If you want to ask the young master, then write a letter yourself. If you don’t want to ask, then make the decision yourself. Anyway, there is only one thing to do, which is to give that old fox a good beating and fight for the interests of Xiliang.”

“Sister, aren’t you afraid that your sister will be a coward and ruin the prince’s business?”

Dayuer blinked.

“The young master believes in you, why should I worry about it?”

Dayueer shook her head.

“Sister, I understand.”

Dayuer chuckled, “Actually, I’ve already thought about distributing the information, and then this assassination, I’ll pin it on that old fox’s head, so as to warn him, and I’ll get some benefits by the way.”

“Don’t worry, sister. This time, I will make that old fox bleed hard.”

She hated the Marquis of Qingzhou to the extreme in her heart.

“Madam, the chief clerk of Qingzhou Houfu, Lu Yun, is outside asking to see you.”

A guard was reporting at the door.

“not see.”

Dayuer snorted coldly, “Don’t see anyone within five days.”

“promise.”

The soldiers left.

“I have a small favor to ask my sister.”

Dayuer said.

“What’s the matter?”

“Sister, please find the spies planted by the imperial court in Qingzhou and bring them to the post station for detention before the Qingzhou War.”

“If my sister is not wrong, the old fox will definitely find a scapegoat. We have to pin this matter on the Qingzhou Marquis in advance so that we can punish him.”

Agencies like the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Secret Service definitely have considerable influence in Qingzhou, but Dayuer just can’t command them.

We can only rely on the big moon to make arrangements.

“no problem.”

Dayue nodded.

A sudden assassination put Qingzhou into an extremely dangerous situation. The news spread in all directions like a storm, and countless eyes cast their gazes here in secret.

The Xiliang envoy was besieged by hundreds of assassins in Qingzhou City, even under the nose of the Qingzhou Marquis. Everyone in the world knew that Qingzhou and Xiliang were allies, and many people gloated over the misfortune, hoping that this assassination would cause Qingzhou and Xiliang to go to war.

It would be best if we fought to the death.

As time went by, the whole Qingzhou city was in a state of panic, with soldiers patrolling day and night.

Dayueer and Dayuer stayed in the post station the whole time and never went out.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Every day, Lu Yun, the chief clerk, would come to the post station thousands of miles away to ask for a meeting.

Then every time no one was there to receive me and I had to get the cold shoulder.

into the night.

The sky was dark.

It’s snowing heavily.

Can’t tell the difference between heaven and earth.

The snow in the courtyard had been cleared, so it was a thin layer of snow that was crystal clear, while the snow on the green bamboo and ancient trees was much thicker.

If someone kicks the tree trunk, or breaks open the green bamboo and shakes it, in an instant there will be heavy snow covering the ground.

“Madam, Master, dinner is here.”

Two personal servants came outside the room carrying food and called out softly.

“come in.”

Dayuer spoke.

The furnishings in the room had not changed much. Dayue was wiping the strings of the zither, while Dayu was reading a book.

Two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup are dinner for two. Although it is a bit simple, it tastes very good.

“lady.”

While they were eating, Shi Xiao suddenly came to the courtyard and reported at the door: “Madam, the master has brought the person back.”

“Where now?”

Dayuer put down her bowl and chopsticks and wiped her mouth.

“It’s locked in the backyard.”

“Are you going to confess?”

“He has confessed. He is a spy planted by the imperial court in Qingzhou. He was the one who coordinated this assassination attempt.”

“Are there any accomplices?”

Dayuer’s face remained calm.

“Have.”

Shi Xiao took out a letter from his sleeve and said, “Here is the list.”

She took it and glanced at it casually, then put it away and said calmly: “Tell him to change his words and then point out the assassination planned by the Marquis of Qingzhou and the court.”

“Can it be done?”

“a piece of cake.”

Shi Xiao nodded: “Jinyiwei has already controlled his family.”

“Go down.”

The snow is still falling. This time of the year is the coldest. The weather is freezing and the wind is howling, blowing up the flying snow and dead branches and leaves.

The wind and snow in Xiliang were much stronger than those in Qingzhou. The Shuiyun Mountains were covered in white. Every day, hundreds of riders traveled back and forth to deliver official documents.

In the side hall.

The fire is burning.

Xiao Han leaned back in his chair while Miaoyu and Ning Xi were dealing with the memorials handed over by the Military Affairs Department.

There were matters concerning the Department of Education, the war in the Northern Wei imperial city, and the disaster situation in the five northern states.

In short, there were a lot of things to do. Fortunately, the Xiliang Prefecture Government and the Military Affairs Department took the lead in handling them, and only some of the more important memorials were submitted.

But even so, there were piles of memorials in the side hall.

As for the affairs of Qingzhou, Xiao Han didn’t care much about it. He just took a quick look at Dayue’er’s letter at that time.

“Can it be finished tomorrow?”

She stood up and took the boiling water off the stove, made three cups of hot tea, one for each of them, and also brought a cup of hot tea to Cao Ruixue next door.

These days, they have been staying in the main courtyard, and except for the time for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, they have been dealing with official documents.

“I’m afraid that’s difficult.”

Ning Xi complained: “You don’t even know how to help us, you just act like a hands-off boss.”
