Chapter 473: Guess

Zhou Qiuning's expression suddenly froze when she heard this. Google Search Reading

Then, she slowly turned around and looked at Zhao Jing.

"Who to kill?"

"Li Beifeng!"

Zhao Jing repeated, "I need you to help me kill him!"

The atmosphere seemed to freeze at this moment. After a moment, Zhou Qiuning suddenly chuckled.

"If I remember correctly, Your Highness has a good relationship with him? Why do you suddenly want to kill him now?"

A hint of complexity flashed in Zhao Jing's eyes, and he quickly regained his composure.

"Do I need a reason to kill him?"

"No!"

Zhou Qiuning smiled, but she shook her head: "But why should I help you kill him? Doesn't Your Highness know that he and I are good friends?"

Zhao Jing glanced at her: "Are you really good friends with him?"

Zhou Qiuning was silent.

"I know that he killed your brother!"

Zhao Jing spoke sharply.

What happened in Chaoyang County did not escape Zhao Jing's eyes. Li Beifeng killed Zhou Zhongzheng, and he naturally knew it.

Because of this, Zhao Jing knew that Zhou Qiuning and Li Beifeng might have broken up.

He knew Zhou Qiuning.

This woman was very strange and complicated. Even though he had known her for so long, Zhao Jing did not dare to say that he had figured out Zhou Qiuning's character.

But one thing was certain, this woman was very principled.

The Zhou family was not important to her, but the people of the Zhou family were always her relatives. This was probably the reason why she had never left the Zhou family for so many years.

Therefore, Li Beifeng killed Zhou Zhongzheng. In any case, there must be a rift between the two of them.

"Don't you want to kill him and avenge your brother?"

"The matter between me and him..."

Zhou Qiuning said indifferently: "I have my own plan."

"Could it be that you plan to forgive him?"

Zhao Jing glanced at her meaningfully.

Zhou Qiuning's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "Your Highness is eager to kill him. Could it be that he did something that Your Highness cannot forgive?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jing's face changed slightly, and it was a little ugly.

Obviously, Zhou Qiu Ning's words touched his heart.

When he thought of this, he felt angry and a feeling of betrayal surged in his heart.

"I trusted him so much, but I didn't expect that he would betray me in the end!"

Zhao Jing's eyes fell on Zhou Qiu Ning: "Help me kill him, is this... the last understanding between you and me?"

"After this time, you will no longer owe me anything, how about it?"

The atmosphere in the room became dull again.

After a long time, Zhou Qiu Ning turned around, with a slender figure wrapped under her purple dress and her black hair almost waist-length.

She walked to the door and opened it.

Outside the door, the cold wind gradually blew into the room, and her cold voice was faintly heard in the air.

"I'll think about it."

"..."

At the same time, outside the room, a figure quietly withdrew.

This figure was hidden in the Prince's Mansion and soon withdrew from the Prince's Mansion along the original road. Not long after, Li Beifeng appeared on the street outside the Prince's Mansion.

His expression was somewhat complicated.

Li Beifeng was not surprised that Zhao Jing wanted to kill him.

This time, he had completely torn his face with Zhao Jing. There was probably no room for maneuver between the two of them.

Thinking of this, Li Beifeng couldn't help but feel some indescribable emotion in his heart.

He and Zhao Jing shouldn't have come to this point. Putting aside everything else, Zhao Jing is indeed a good friend.

But...

There is no if!

Li Beifeng's eyes gradually turned cold. The grudge between him and Zhao Jing was even deeper than anyone else.

There was no room for easing between them. Therefore, Zhao Jing wanted to kill him, so why didn't he want to kill Zhao Jing?

But...

What surprised Li Beifeng was that Zhao Jing actually let Zhou Qiu Ning kill him.

This...

Thinking of Zhou Qiu Ning, Li Beifeng's heart sank.

He always had an indescribable sense of guilt for this woman.

Perhaps it was because he was too decisive in killing Zhou Zhongzheng, or because Zhou Qiu Ning suddenly let him go, which made Li Beifeng feel uneasy.

The grudge between him and Zhou Qiu Ning was indeed a bit complicated.

After standing there in silence for a long time, Li Beifeng turned and left.

...

In the capital.

Somewhere in a remote courtyard.

Li Beifeng stepped into the courtyard.

Here is a base hidden in the capital by Ruyi Tower.

Ruyi Tower has several bases in the capital, which are very hidden. They are mainly responsible for collecting intelligence in the capital and transmitting messages at the same time.

Of course, in addition to Ruyi Tower, there are many bases of major sects in the capital. But in comparison, Ruyi Tower is more hidden and more professional.

"Mr. Li, we are hiding near the Prince's Mansion today according to your instructions, watching every move of the Prince's Mansion..."

In a courtyard somewhere, two female disciples of Ruyi Tower appeared in front of Li Beifeng, with extremely respectful expressions and attitudes, and were reporting something to Li Beifeng.

"We are sure that apart from Zhao Jing, there are not many suspicious people leaving the Prince's Mansion today. As expected, the Crown Princess should still be in the mansion."

"..."

This answer did not surprise Li Beifeng.

Xie Wan'er might still be in the Prince's Mansion, but no one knows where she is being held now.

She is not in danger for the time being, but that does not mean she will never be in danger.

We must find a way to rescue her as soon as possible.

"You, keep watching the Prince's Mansion, and report any actions to me at any time!"

"Yes!"

Li Beifeng paused for a moment, and then said: "If you find the whereabouts of the Crown Princess, if there is a chance, find a way to rescue her!"

As soon as these words came out, the two female disciples of Ruyi Tower were stunned, wondering why Mr. Li did this?

However, they quickly came to their senses and nodded: "Disciples obey!"

Long before, the news of the Taoist nun's return had spread throughout Ruyi Tower. Knowing that the old building owner who had been missing for many years had returned, almost all the disciples of Ruyi Tower were excited.

And Li Beifeng, following the Taoist nun, successfully appeared in the sight of all the disciples of Ruyi Tower.

Although I don't know who this Mr. Li is, the old building owner has an order, and Mr. Li's words represent her words.

What does this mean?

It goes without saying.

This Mr. Li is a person that the old building owner values. No matter what his origins are, he deserves everyone's respect.

Just as the two female disciples were about to leave after receiving the order, Li Beifeng stopped them again.

"Mr. Li, is there anything else?"

The two female disciples paused.

"Do you know the whereabouts of the old building owner?"

Li Beifeng asked.

After separating from the Taoist nun at the Zhaohuang Mausoleum today, he has never seen her again. Thinking of what Li Suyi had said to him before, Li Beifeng's heart sank.

"The old building owner did come back today, but..."

"The old building owner explained some things and left again!"

Li Beifeng frowned: "What did she explain?"

"The old building owner is going to leave for a few days to do something. The old building owner didn't say what it was."

Do something?

What did she want to do?

Li Beifeng frowned even deeper.

But in the end, he still didn't guess.

After a moment, he shook his head: "You go down first."

"Yes, Mr. Li, go to bed early!"

The female disciples of Ruyi Building left, leaving Li Beifeng alone in the courtyard.

He had to leave the capital tonight, he had nowhere to go, and finally came here. The base where Ruyi Tower was hiding was indeed one of the safest places in the capital.

…

Early morning.

It was just dawn.

Li Beifeng got up and left Ruyi Tower.

He had to leave the city as soon as possible to get the soul-guiding grass to save Zhao Ying.

The city gate was still heavily guarded, checking everyone who passed by.

However, compared to last night, the guards at the gate did not have that tense atmosphere.

Li Beifeng mixed in the crowd and slowly walked out of the city gate.

"Stop!"

Soon, the guard at the gate stopped Li Beifeng and said coldly: "Exit permit!"

Li Beifeng took out the exit permit that he had prepared long ago, his face calm and without any panic.

The guard checked the exit permit and found no problem. When he was about to let him go, he suddenly spoke again.

"Wait..."

A guard general noticed Li Beifeng. He looked calm and restrained. He showed no fear when he saw the soldiers guarding the city.

This made the general a little suspicious.

"What's in your package?"

The young general asked.

Li Beifeng replied calmly: "Some herbs bought in the city."

"Open it and take a look!"

The young general stepped forward to ask.

Li Beifeng frowned slightly.

This soul-guiding grass is rare in the world. If it is discovered, it may be easily suspected.

However, if it is not opened, it may arouse more suspicion.

After thinking for a moment, Li Beifeng opened the package.

The young general checked it and found that there were indeed some herbs in the package. Although it looked strange and he didn't know what herbs it was, they were not doctors after all, and they couldn't see any problems.

After checking, there was indeed no problem, so they let it go.

"Let's go!"

Li Beifeng packed up his things again and prepared to leave.

"Wait a little longer!"

Just then, a soldier came to the young general and said something in his ear.

Then, the young general's face changed slightly, and he called Li Beifeng again.

In an instant, three or four soldiers stopped Li Beifeng.

Li Beifeng's heart suddenly tightened, and his whole body became alert.

Discovered?

However, there was still no change in his expression, and he turned to look at the young general: "Is there anything else?"

"Someone wants to see you!"

The young general looked up and down at Li Beifeng and said.

Li Beifeng became more and more alert.

See him?

Be recognized?

He changed his identity, and ordinary people could not recognize him at all.

Was he discovered somewhere?

However, Li Beifeng's face remained calm: "Who wants to see me?"

"You will know when you go!"

The young general waved his hand, and the soldiers around him surrounded him, blocking Li Beifeng's way.

Obviously, Li Beifeng could not fly away.

Li Beifeng glanced around, and thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

When he saw the rows of guards outside the door, Li Beifeng quickly gave up the idea of ​​fighting his way out.

He couldn't fight his way out!

With so many guards, it would be hard to escape once they were targeted. Now was not the best time to turn against them.

He could only learn how to act.

So, Li Beifeng nodded: "Okay, lead the way!"

The young general was slightly relieved to see Li Beifeng cooperate so well. He was still worried that the man in front of him was dangerous and would not cooperate.

"Take him over!"

Soon, the three or four soldiers surrounded Li Beifeng and led the way.

They said they were leading the way, but in fact they were guarding to prevent Li Beifeng from running away.

Three or four soldiers took Li Beifeng to the other side of the city wall, which made Li Beifeng a little confused.

City wall?

Why bring him here?

Li Beifeng, who originally thought that his identity was discovered, felt even more strange.

If his identity was discovered, it shouldn't be like this, right?

With a little more caution in his heart, Li Beifeng observed the surroundings along the way, thinking about where it would be safer to run away.

Soon, several soldiers took Li Beifeng to the top of the city wall.

On the other side of the city wall, there was a pavilion.

The soldier took Li Beifeng to the vicinity of the pavilion and said, "Go over, someone is waiting for you!"

Wait for him?

Li Beifeng looked up at the pavilion and vaguely saw a figure in the pavilion. However, it was blocked by the pillars of the pavilion and could not be seen clearly.

From this posture, it seemed that there was no danger for the time being. Therefore, Li Beifeng temporarily put his mind at ease and walked towards the pavilion.

He wanted to see who wanted to see him.

Gradually approaching the pavilion, Li Beifeng's keen sense of smell soon smelled a trace of fresh fragrance.

It was very elegant and shocked people.

This fragrance...

is a bit familiar!

At this time, Li Beifeng finally came to the outside of the pavilion. He looked at the pavilion and saw the familiar figure in the pavilion.

Purple dress, black and smooth hair falling, full of girlishness.

A beautiful face, with a bit of meaning in the eyes at this moment.

Looking at Li Beifeng, smiling.

"You are here!"

When he saw her, all the doubts in Li Beifeng's mind were instantly solved.

It's her!

No wonder!

No wonder she recognized Li Beifeng.

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Li Beifeng's mind, and he calmed down.

"Why are you here?"

"You can be here, why can't I be here?"

She asked softly.

Looking at her, Li Beifeng's eyes showed a hint of complexity.

He was not surprised that Zhou Qiu Ning was here.

After all, he had just seen her last night... Thinking of what he overheard last night, Li Beifeng fell silent.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Qiu Ning's eyes were meaningful.

"What? You don't dare to come in and sit with me now?"

Li Beifeng was silent for a moment, took a step, and stepped into the pavilion.

Then, he sat down opposite her.

The two looked at each other, and they were speechless at this moment.

The last time they met should have been in Beizhou not long ago.

That time, she wanted to kill him.

Unexpectedly, in a short time, the two sat together again calmly.

It can only be said that it was indeed unexpected.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Beifeng was the first to break the silence.

The girl glanced at him and said meaningfully: "How about you guess?"

"Do you think I can guess?"

"Why don't you just guess!"

Zhou Qiuning smiled and said: "Life is already so boring, we should always find some fun, right?"

Li Beifeng said expressionlessly: "What if I don't guess?"

"If you don't guess!"

The girl's smile deepened, and there seemed to be a bit of mischief in her eyes.

"I will sell your whereabouts to Zhao Jing!"

"..."
