Chapter 381 My Master Can't Be Such a Sickly 17
Filial Son?
Ning Shu almost laughed when she heard Xuan Xiaotian's reputation as a filial son. In the middle of summer, the corpse was left on display for more than 20 days. Even ice could not stop the corpse from rotting.
Speaking of which, the late emperor was also quite miserable. He was swept by the tail of the typhoon caused by the struggle between his three sons and died of poisoning. After his death, his sons were not allowed to bury him. What a mess.
Before Shangguan Qingrou was found, Xuan Xiaotian did not dare to ascend the throne. When he ascended the throne, the queen was not present, and there was no master living in the harem. What kind of thing was this?
Once again, he was impressed by Xuan Hongyu's ability to commit suicide. It is estimated that Xuan Xiaotian had the idea of skinning Xuan Hongyu alive.
What annoyed Ning Shu the most was that she had done nothing, and on what basis was she wanted? Bah...
Shangguan Qingrou was still found, and was found before the late emperor was buried. It was Xuan Hongyu who swaggered into the city with Shangguan Qingrou. When they entered the city, the guards guarding the city gate saluted Xuan Hongyu.
Xuan Xiaotian received the news and quickly rescued Shangguan Qingrou. Even Xuan Hongyu was locked up in the palace, saying that he was asked to mourn for the late emperor.
Ning Shu was immediately Spartan when she heard the news. This, this...
Is Xuan Hongyu sick?
He captured Shangguan Qingrou and then sent her back. Now she is in the tiger's mouth and is controlled by Xuan Xiaotian.
Ning Shu grabbed her hair and was so upset.
If you come back a few days later, let's see how Xuan Xiaotian ends up.
Ning Shu is holding her breath now. You like Shangguan Qingrou, and you kidnapped Shangguan Qingrou. Why don't you just run away? Why come back?
Ning Shu now really wanted to beat up Xuan Hongyu who was imprisoned in the palace. Damn, she had no idea what he was thinking.
Shangguan Qingrou had been found, so the guards in the capital would naturally stop searching. Ning Shu breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, Ning Shu was very afraid of being caught and tortured. The thought of it was terrifying. She
planned to go back to the Prince's Mansion first. Seeing that there was no one monitoring the Prince's Mansion, Ning Shu climbed over the wall to go in.
When she jumped down from the wall, she saw a mark at the foot of the wall. It was left by the leader of the base.
Ning Shu followed the mark and came to a dilapidated temple. When she walked into the dilapidated temple, she saw many people standing or sitting. Each of them had a very cold expression, with a murderous look between their brows.
Yi looked at Ning Shu and asked coldly, "Why are you here just now?"
Ning Shu hurriedly said respectfully, "The prince's mansion has been under surveillance, and I just saw the mark now."
Yi snorted coldly, looked at the people in the room, and said, "We plan to rescue the master. I heard that the master was imprisoned in Changle Palace."
Ning Shu felt it was very unreliable. How could they break into the palace like that? It was no different from committing suicide. Ning Shu wanted to speak, but when he saw that no one else said anything, it was obvious that what they said was what they meant.
Ning Shu pursed his lips and asked, "When are we going to act?"
"Tomorrow night." Yi said firmly.
"Tomorrow is when the new emperor ascends the throne. At that time, few people will pay attention to Changle Palace, so we will go to rescue the master then." As Yi said this, he took out a map from his arms. It was a detailed map of the palace.
Ning Shu said, "In fact, we can dig a tunnel to Changle Palace."
Yi looked at Ning Shu with a very cold and murderous look, "Eleven, you talk too much. Do you want to betray the master? The dog emperor will definitely kill the master after he ascends the throne. How long will it take to dig the tunnel?" The other assassins all looked at Ning Shu, and some even drew their swords, wanting to kill Ning Shu in one fell swoop.
Ning Shu: ...
Did she say anything wrong? She was just giving advice.
"Remember, your life belongs to the master, everything you have belongs to the master, and the meaning of your existence is the master." Yi said coldly, "What you have to do now is to save the master, even if it means sacrificing your life."
Ning Shu was shocked, and then seeing the expressions on the faces of the others, she suddenly understood why Eleven had to sacrifice half or more of her soul to save Xuan Hongyu, because the value of her existence was Xuan Hongyu. I
didn't understand it before, and I have always been wondering why Xuan Hongyu was worth Eleven sacrificing his soul to save him. Now I really understand Eleven's psychology.
The assassins are no longer normal people. They are used to being assigned tasks by their masters, and then they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the tasks. This is their spiritual pillar. If this spiritual pillar falls, where will they go?
They are used to being assigned to do things. If one day the person who assigned them is gone, they will be panicked, terrified, and at a loss.
With blood on their hands, the ruthless and heartless warriors could not live an ordinary life. Their every move was different from that of ordinary people. Standing under the sun, one could tell their difference at a glance.
Xuan Hongyu treated Shiyi as a tool, even if he abandoned her, but Shiyi could not abandon Xuan Hongyu.
Ning Shu sighed in her heart and said, "I am just too worried about my master."
Yi looked at Ning Shu coldly and began to assign tasks.
This was clearly a suicide mission, but Ning Shu could only watch and could not say a word. How could such a small number of people in their room be enough for the Imperial Guards to kill.
Yi's plan was to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. First, he sent some people to assassinate Xuan Xiaotian to attract the attention of the palace guards, and then some people went to Changle Palace to rescue Xuan Hongyu.
Those who were assigned to assassinate Xuan Xiaotian were basically going to die to attract firepower, but the assigned people had no expression on their faces and calmly accepted the task.
Ning Shu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a grunt. Fear of death is instinctive. Are these people not afraid of death?
After the tasks were assigned, Ning Shu was the only one left who had not been assigned a task. Ning Shu asked Yi, "What about my tasks?"
Yi looked at Ning Shu coldly, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Ning Shu suddenly felt something was wrong. He suppressed the desire to run and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Tie her up." Yi said coldly.
Someone came up immediately and held Ning Shu down. With his hands behind his back, Ning Shu struggled to break free from the control of these people and drew his sword to confront them.
"Did I do something wrong? Why did you tie me up?" Ning Shu was very puzzled.
Yi looked at Ning Shu coldly, "I suspect you have betrayed your master."
Ning Shu: Huh? !
She betrayed Xuan Hongyu, how could she not know?
"To prevent you from leaking this mission, you can't go." Yi took out a crossbow from his waist and pointed the arrow at Ning Shu's head. "I wanted to catch you and let the master punish you after rescuing you, but now I can't let you go."
Ning Shu was speechless. He said she betrayed Xuan Hongyu for no reason. Where is the evidence?
