Chapter 310 Which No. 1 Assassin?
Inside the tent, the candlelight was dim and shadows were everywhere.
The girl standing by the light had a plain face and her eyes were exceptionally bright, like stars blooming in a cold night.
Qi Yong could hardly bear her gaze. After exchanging a glance, he immediately turned his eyes away and looked to the side.
After arranging his thoughts, he said confidently: "I have investigated and found that Xuan Yi has not appeared for a long time, and I have never heard that he has accepted any reward from any force."
Qi Yong actually always felt that Shi Li must have been hunted down by someone pretending to be her father. The real Xuan Yi would never have allowed Shi Li to reach Liaocheng alive.
After saying this, Shi Li was obviously relieved.
No news, just good news.
She couldn't show it too obviously in front of Qi Yong, so she just smiled and said perfunctorily, "In that case, please continue to help me find out, Vice President Qi."
Qi Yong was very curious why Shi Li was so persistent in finding out about an assassin. He wanted to persuade her that the person before must not be a real person, but when he met Shi Li's clear gaze, he finally didn't say it out loud.
"Don't worry, my lord. I will continue to pay attention."
He took a step back and lowered his voice, "My Lord, if you have any problem next time, please send someone to call me over earlier."
"I will retire at the end."
After saying that, Qi Yong didn't wait for Shi Li to speak, and backed out of the tent.
Only Shi Li was left standing in the tent.
Unfortunately, Shi Li didn't listen to his last sentence at all, but continued to think about what he said before.
As long as no one asks Xuan Yi to assassinate Emperor Wei Ling, he will not be in danger. It should not be important to him whether he is the number one assassin who will be remembered through the ages.
So, safety first.
[I just like the host's cowardly way of trying to survive. After all, we are all ordinary people, not some Qi Aotian who is angry with everyone.]
[The host is so adorable when she is in love and distracted. 】
[This sour candy has a strong flavor, much sweeter than the industrial saccharin in TV dramas! ]
With a little peace of mind, Shi Li slept particularly soundly.
Even if there was any noise outside, she couldn't hear it.
Besides, the noise was so slight that even Fujin, who was sleeping on the floor next to her, couldn't hear anything.
After several days of marching, they finally left Liaocheng completely. The scouts ahead reported that if the army continued to move forward, they would face off against the rebellion suppression troops sent by the imperial capital at the latest the day after tomorrow.
Shi Li would certainly not be pushed to the front line, and would only stay in the safe rear at this time.
But after all, he is the orphan of King Guangyong, the only blood relative, and the spiritual leader of the army, commonly known as the mascot.
Before parting ways with the main army, she, accompanied by Qi Yong and Sun Jianchen, walked up to the generals of the three armies and showed herself. She said some encouraging words according to the instructions of the two deputy generals, and thus completed her mission.
After walking down, Sun Jianchen called Sun Zhaonan to his side in front of Shi Li.
"You must protect the princess well and never take it lightly." Sun Jianchen warned seriously.
Unexpectedly, Sun Zhaonan did not agree. Instead, he knelt down with a stubborn look on his face and said, "Please order me to follow the army to the front line to avenge Prince Guangyong!"
Really loud.
Sun Jianchen seemed to have not expected that his son would do such a thing. He looked unhappy and glanced at Shi Li awkwardly.
Shi Li: ...
What could she say?
She's embarrassed too, okay?
If possible, she hoped she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment underground and move in.
However, digging out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment was just her fantasy.
After organizing his words, Shi Li said calmly, "Vice General Sun can make the decision on his own."
Then, without giving Sun Jianchen a chance to speak, she lifted her skirt and turned away.
Although she was not sure what the father and son of the Sun family wanted to do, Shi Li decided to be a Guanyin with closed eyes, not listening, not speaking, and not looking.
Now Qi Yong and Sun Jianchen are checking and balancing each other, so even if they want to get rid of them, it won't be now.
So, she is safe no matter what.
Shi Li doesn't mind comparing herself to a donkey.
The disagreement between the Sun family father and son was resolved in the evening.
Sun Jianchen failed to convince Sun Zhaonan in the end, and the person responsible for guarding Shi Li's safety was replaced by a general with dark complexion.
The general's surname was Jiang. He had been on the battlefield before and had a hideous scar on his face.
But Shi Li did not feel scared, instead she felt relieved.
She had felt that Sun Zhaonan's attitude towards her was strange before, so she tried not to meet him. Now that he was no longer around, there was no need to think too much about it.
If the father and son of the Sun family knew what she was thinking, they would probably spit out both old and new blood.
All the preparations before the relationship were wasted on Shi Li, as she didn't take it to heart at all.
What is this called?
All the tricks?
Being clever but being misled by cleverness?
However, they still have two cards to reveal, so there is no need to rush.
