Chapter 315 Which No. 1 Assassin?
Late at night, a frosty crow flew silently over the window lattice, landed on the eaves and looked around.
Suddenly it seemed to see something, made a cackle, flapped its wings and flew into the night.
The city lord was dreaming of the beauty he had brought into his mansion last month, and was completely unaware of what was about to happen.
Immersed in the gentleness of life, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my neck.
His instinctive sense of danger made him open his eyes instantly. He reached out to touch his neck and found blood on his hand.
"Ah! Help! Help!"
The cries of the City Lord and Xuan Qing were very similar, both like ducks with their necks strangled.
After he called out twice, the beautiful woman who was lying on the same bed with him was also startled awake. When she saw his hideous face, she screamed in shock. The scene was very scary.
All the masters and servants in the mansion were awakened.
The guard rushed into the house, and was frightened when he saw the city lord's appearance. He was busy protecting him and sending people to call a doctor.
After all this trouble, the city lord was half frightened out of his wits.
He breathed a sigh of relief only when the doctor came and bandaged his neck and told him that his life was not in danger.
The beauty, who had also recovered, found a hidden weapon on the bedpost. The hidden weapon had penetrated into the bedpost and nailed a note deeply on it.
The beauty couldn't pull it off at all. Finally, she called the security guard over and barely took off the hidden weapon and handed the note to the city lord.
The city lord didn't dare to look at the words above and waved his hands repeatedly.
The guard had no choice but to take the note and read out the contents to him.
Very simple, only seven words in total——
Give Shili away and die.
Hearing the last word "die", the city lord was so frightened that he trembled all over, his face turned pale, and he kept waving his hands, "No more, no more, never again!"
Shi Li finally had a few days of quiet and good days.
She didn't know how her good life came to be, and she thought the city lord was finally willing to listen to her.
Unexpectedly, the city lord was not willing to obey, but dared not to disobey again.
Even if you are a salted fish, you can't stay at home all the time.
After a few days, Shi Li felt really bored staying in the house, so he took Fu Jin out and wanted to take a quick stroll in the nearby streets.
When girls go shopping, they definitely go to shops selling clothes and jewelry.
Shi Li's current food, clothing and daily necessities are very good, so she doesn't plan to buy anything else and just wants to take a look.
She has been keeping a low profile since she came to this city. Except for the city lord who knows her true appearance, everyone else only knows that there is such a princess but has never seen her.
When they arrived at a jewelry store, the owner was a shrewd and capable middle-aged woman. She could tell at a glance that she was of high status and warmly invited her to sit in a private room to admire the store's treasures.
The private room was filled with elegant incense and had graceful calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, creating an unconventional environment.
Shi Li raised her hand to open the window, but just as her hand touched the pane, the female shopkeeper came in holding a valuable box.
"Miss, please look, this is our store's treasure."
The female shopkeeper was eager to present the treasure, and opened the treasure box in her arms as soon as she walked in.
There was actually a whole pine bonsai made of transparent imperial green jadeite inside, which made the room look bright and glorious.
Shi Li's attention was attracted by the jadeite. She withdrew her hand and walked closer to appreciate it carefully.
"Miss, please sit down and take a closer look." The female shopkeeper placed the box on the table with a smile.
Fu Jin stood silently beside him for a while, then felt faintly dizzy and realized that something was wrong with the incense. She immediately opened her mouth to remind him, "Princess..."
But she only had time to utter two words before the gentle female shopkeeper seemed to have changed into a different person. She moved as fast as lightning and knocked her to the ground with a single blow.
Shi Li heard the noise and turned around, only to see Fu Jin had fallen to the ground.
The female shopkeeper looked at her with a smile, "Princess, please come with me."
Hearing this, Shi Li suddenly had a sense of relief that the matter was settled for some reason. He glanced at Fu Jin with some concern and tried to discuss it with the female shopkeeper.
"I'll go with you, or else we'll stop killing people?"
The female shopkeeper showed a sneer on her face, probably thinking that it was foolish for Shi Li to bargain with her at this time, and nodded arrogantly, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Princess."
After saying that, he turned the mechanism next to him and directly opened a secret door leading to the outside world.
Shi Li said nothing, lifted her skirt and walked in.
Seeing her decisiveness, the female shopkeeper was slightly stunned, but immediately reacted and followed.
The two of them walked a long way in the narrow passage, one in front of the other, and finally walked out and found themselves directly in the wilderness.
The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds and many corpses were lying in all directions.
Shi Li: ???
Female shopkeeper: !!!
It seems like someone is catching the cicada while the oriole is behind.
