Chapter 516 Assassination
"No!" Gale Sword Master directly refused: "Now the teacher has not made it clear that he will support Catherine. It is useless for us to show our courtesy now. It is better to wait and see what happens. If the teacher is really angry with the third prince, he has to support her. As for Catherine, he will definitely come to us, and we will just come down when the time comes. But if the teacher still decides to support the third prince, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for us to say our support to Catherine?”
"Yes, yes, I'm confused!" The heavy-armored swordsman immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
"Of course I will never forget you. We have been together for so many years and have become one body, so naturally we will advance and retreat together!" Gale Sword Master said with a smile.
"Haha!" The two then laughed together.
Qingquan Palace is thirty miles away from the Imperial Capital. Lao Xie and his party hurriedly hurried and finally arrived at noon. As for the scenery, there is really nothing to say here. The entire palace is located among a natural spring, so the architects installed many fountain sculptures and pools of different shapes in the palace, even in the house. The green mountains outside, the palace The green water in the middle is full of natural scenery.
Although Qingquan Palace has been in disrepair for a long time, because Catherine is coming to stay, the stingy royal family has to send people to clean it up for the sake of the royal family's face. At least it looks like that from the outside. Of course, on the outside, she has a royal appearance, so she will be taken care of with care, but inside, the part related to Catherine's daily life is just so-so. Even Catherine's big bed was an old one, just with a new bunk. There were still traces of repairs on the four walls, the whole house looked dilapidated, and there was still a damp smell in the air. How does this look like a place for a princess to live? It's almost better than prison.
Constany and Vivian were immediately furious when they saw this. Vivian had a low status and didn't dare to do anything, but Constantine didn't have to worry at all. He directly grabbed the person in charge and scolded him.
The person in charge was an old woman and she seemed quite honest. In the face of Constantine's rebuke, he just gave a helpless excuse and was obviously just a scapegoat.
When Catherine saw this, she immediately stopped Konstani, and then said with a wry smile: "Don't embarrass her, she is one of the few people in the palace who treats me well. I believe there is nothing she can do about this matter!"
"Is she nice to you?" Constantine immediately asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
"She used to be my mother's maid. She was favored by my mother, so she has been secretly taking care of me in the palace, and she suffered a lot for this!" Catherine said, looking at the other party apologetically, Then smile and say hello!
"Princess. This is what you should do!" The man immediately said gratefully.
"That's not right!" Constantine suddenly said: "If they want to deal with you, they should shoot one of their own confidants. Only in this way can they plot against you? Why would they send one of your people? This is too much Strange! ”
"This~" Catherine also looked puzzled after hearing this.
Only Lao Xie smiled and said: "It's not strange, it's a very simple matter! Come on. Don't stay outside, let's go in and talk!" With that, Lao Xie took the three girls to the living room.
After everyone sat down, the person in charge quickly prepared refreshments. Catherine directly asked in confusion: "Dear, you haven't said why they sent my people here!"
"The reason is very simple!" Lao Xie sneered: "In fact, you should have thought of it, but you seem to have forgotten the shadow assassin!"
"Ah!" Catherine immediately exclaimed: "Yes, I forgot about them!"
"I understand too!" Konstani also learned about the shadow assassin from Lao Xie, and heard Lao Xie remind him now. Naturally, I figured out the mystery.
"What riddles are you playing?" Vivian was the only one who said in confusion.
"It's very simple. If you think about it, if Catherine is suddenly assassinated, then everyone here, whether they are the person in charge, the guards, or the servants, will obviously have to be buried with her!" Lao Xie sneered: "In the morning Knowing that someone would die, some guys would not send their confidants to be buried with them! So this Catherine's confidant naturally became the first choice. Their purpose was not to let her serve Catherine, but to let her accompany Catherine. Let’s die together!”
"Ah!" Vivian immediately exclaimed: "Oh my God, does someone want to assassinate Princess Catherine?"
"This is already very obvious!" Lao Xie sneered: "First, he brought Catherine to such a poor place, inaccessible to people. If she was assassinated, there would be no rescuers. Then she sent Catherine's Her confidants serve her. On the surface, Her Highness the Queen is benevolent, but secretly, doesn’t she want to catch them all in one fell swoop?”
"It's too scary!" Vivian said hurriedly: "No, Sister Catherine can't be here anymore, why don't we leave?"
"Leave? Where?" Lao Xie sneered: "The emperor's order is to keep Catherine under house arrest here. If she leaves privately, it will be a serious crime of disobedience and disrespect. Once they reach that point, they can be completely justified. He even saved the effort to kill Catherine!"
"But Princess Catherine is obviously in danger?" Vivian said: "It is reasonable to leave temporarily under the threat of the assassin, right?"
"But the problem is, we know that an assassin is coming, but there is no evidence. Even if they know about it, they will pretend not to know and still label Catherine as an anti-edict!" Lao Xie sneered: " So leaving is impossible!”
"Why is it impossible?" Constantine immediately said dissatisfied: "As far as I know, you don't seem to care much about the imperial edict, right? So what if you disobey it? Are you still afraid that the emperor will arrest you?"
"That's right!" Vivian said immediately: "Last time, Princess Catherine blinded the third prince's eyes and was wanted across the country. Didn't you also protect her well?"
"Haha!" Lao Xie smiled slightly and said: "Of course I can protect Catherine very well, but the problem is that once we do this, it will be true, which is equivalent to giving Catherine a decree of resistance. Hat! If that happens, Catherine's reputation will suffer a huge blow, and the prestige she has finally built up will fall apart, and that will go against the wishes of the third prince! "
"That's right!" Constantine suddenly said: "My dear, it seems that you have been prepared for this?"
"Hey, that's right!" Lao Xie sneered: "I'm not a weakling who allows others to bully me! Anyone who dares to provoke me must pay a heavy price!"
"Then what are you going to do?" Constantine asked curiously.
"You will know tomorrow!" Lao Xie smiled slightly, and then said: "Remember, as soon as you go back, there will be rumors in the aristocratic circle that I am extremely dissatisfied with Catherine's living conditions and plan to forcibly move out tomorrow. ! ”
"Hey, didn't you say that doing this would damage Catherine's reputation? Why did you ask me to pass on the message again?" Constantine asked in confusion.
"Haha, of course I was lying. The purpose was to force them to take action while we are here today. Otherwise, when we return to the Magic Tower, even the Shadow Sword Master will not dare to go wild there!" Lao Xie Then he explained with a smile: "You have to know that one day is enough to stay in this poor place. I don't want to stay longer, so I have to urge the killers!"
"Understood!" Constantine immediately smiled and said: "In this case, let's go back now. Don't worry, we will let all the nobles in the empire know about this!"
"Oh, let's rest for a while!" Catherine hurriedly advised.
"No need, it's important!" Konstani said, and he and Vivian stood up and walked out. Lao Xie and Catherine hurriedly went to see him off. At the same time, Lao Xie also told Konstani some precautions.
Lao Xie was relatively reassured about Konstani's ability, so after seeing them off, Lao Xie said directly: "Okay, let's get ready too!"
"What are you preparing for?" Catherine curled her lips and said, "With Barton here, how many times are you going to die?"
"That won't work. I can't let Barton take action today!" Lao Xie immediately shook his head.
"Don't ask Barton to take action?" Catherine immediately asked in confusion: "Why is that? Are you still afraid that they will run away and reveal Barton's secret?"
"Of course not. I don't think those idiots can escape from the eighth-level creatures. Even if the Shadow Sword Master comes in person, they will definitely die!" Lao Xie then said: "But the problem is, tonight the Shadow Sword Master will It is unlikely that Sheng will come in person. After all, your identity as a princess is too sensitive. As long as he is not an idiot, he will not personally commit the crime of assassinating the princess. It will do him no good, but will attract the anger of my old man, and even the mainland. The person who has been favored by you may not let him go easily! So he will probably send the saint-level men down, and at worst, he can be silenced in the future."
"But, I still don't understand why you don't allow Barton to take action!" Catherine said in confusion.
"Because my target is not the little miscellaneous fish, but the hand behind the scenes!" Old Evil said harshly.
"Oh!" Catherine suddenly said: "I seem to understand!"
"Haha, just understand! Come on, help me!" Old Xie smiled and took Catherine's hand and ran to the bedroom.
Late that night, two black figures suddenly appeared outside Qingquan Palace, easily passing through the cordon of palace guards on the outside and sneaking into the palace.
These two guys are not only extremely skilled, but most importantly, they seem to be extremely familiar with everything here. Whether it is the patrol route of the palace guards or the terrain of Qingquan Palace, they seem to know everything. Only then was he able to sneak into Qingquan Palace so easily, and without any detours, he went straight to Catherine's bedroom in the complex palace.
