Chapter 289 Killing
Luo Lingyue frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Jinghan in confusion: "Why are you not surprised at all when you hear me say these words?"
Xiao Jinghan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Although I didn't have much contact with Luo Lingyue before, I still heard others talk about her. She is just a simple-minded, bad-tempered and infatuated woman. A person's character and wisdom cannot change so drastically just because of falling into the water. So, when I saw you now, I knew there must be something fishy."
After listening to Xiao Jinghan's analysis, Luo Lingyue couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Even if she is a fangirl, she should be obsessed with someone as handsome as you. Chu Chengli has a feminine look on his face, and he is not worthy of being obsessed with. I really don't know if the original Luo Lingyue was blind." As she said this, she shook her head, as if questioning the original owner's aesthetic taste.
Xiao Jinghan smiled happily, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart: It turns out that my face can still be of some use!
Luo Lingyue stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the snow outside with a dazed look. She sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and emotion in her tone: "It's already deep winter, time flies so fast. What about you, do you have any special plans or ideas?"
Xiao Jinghan walked to Luo Lingyue, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly: "Look at you, do you feel a little bored? Don't worry, I won't let you stay so bored forever."
Xiao Jinghan's eyes were full of Luo Lingyue. He added: "The King of Qin has accumulated enough merits now! He has accumulated enough prestige both in the court and among the people. What we have to do now is to be a troublemaker at this time and create some chaos for the Crown Prince and other princes to see if we can get some benefits from it. How about it, are you willing to stir up trouble with me?"
Luo Lingyue: "..."
He used to be as noble as the breeze and the bright moon, but now he has become so vulgar. This made Luo Lingyue wonder: What exactly caused his change?
Her brows were tightly furrowed, and a trace of pain and disappointment flashed in her eyes. She reached out and grabbed Xiao Jinghan's collar, pulling hard, as if trying to pull him back from the abyss of loss.
"The person I love is the elegant and graceful Xiao Jinghan, not the rude and bloody Xueying!" Luo Lingyue's voice echoed in the air with anger and unwillingness.
Xiao Jinghan sneered, with an evil arc at the corner of his mouth: "Oh? So my lady likes men like this! Well, I was planning to assassinate the officials of the Third Prince's party tonight, but now I have become a King Wu'an who can't carry anything on my shoulders or lift anything with my hands. Otherwise, my lady, you should do it yourself!" There was a playful look on his face, as if challenging her bottom line.
After hearing this, Luo Lingyue was furious. She widened her eyes and glared at him: "What? You want me to kill people? What a joke! I don't even know those people! What's more, the factional relationships among the princes in the capital are complicated, and I can't figure out who belongs to whom! How do you want me to do it?" She retorted angrily, very dissatisfied with his request.
However, Xiao Jinghan did not back down. He chuckled and responded, "But I can't destroy the perfect image in my wife's heart!" He deliberately misinterpreted her meaning, leaving her speechless.
Luo Lingyue stared at him, "Of course we are killing people as Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy! Stop talking nonsense! Take me there right after dark!"
Luo Lingyue was so excited that she was ready to fight, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She wanted to eliminate dissidents for the King of Qin and let the Luo family and the An family stand at the highest point of power!
Xiao Jinghan's eyes were filled with endless coldness: "The prince's house arrest has been lifted, we should find him something to do!"
Night fell over the entire capital city. Luo Lingyue disguised herself and Xiao Jinghan as Xuanhu and Xuanbao, the guards of Crown Prince Chu Chengli.
Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue were dressed in black, like two black lightning bolts, swiftly shuttling through the darkness, as if blending into the night. Their figures were agile and flexible, like ghosts, making them elusive.
Soon, the two men arrived outside the target official's residence.
Xiao Jinghan flew into the official's house lightly, as light and silent as a flying bird. He made a crisp bird cry, signaling Luo Lingyue to start the action.
Luo Lingyue's figure flashed, like a cat in the dark, and she climbed over the courtyard wall silently. Her movements were light and agile, without any sound, which reminded people of the elegant posture of cats.
However, the guards in the palace were completely unaware of the approaching danger. They continued to patrol and stand guard as usual, completely unaware that a bloody massacre was about to happen.
Luo Lingyue shuttled through the mansion like a ghost, her figure light and swift, as if blending into the darkness. The dagger in her hand flashed with cold light, and every swing brought the shadow of death.
The guards were caught off guard and didn't even have time to scream before Luo Lingyue's dagger pierced their throats or hearts. Her movements were as fast as lightning and extremely accurate, leaving the enemy no chance to resist.
Luo Lingyue's eyes were cold and ruthless, and she only had the intention to kill her target. Her assassination skills were first-rate, whether it was a surprise attack from behind or a head-on confrontation, she could kill the enemy instantly.
As time went by, the number of guards in the mansion decreased, but Luo Lingyue did not stop. She continued to look for the next target, not letting go of anyone who might threaten her plan.
According to the information he had obtained before, Xiao Jinghan went directly to the official's study. After seeing the official working, he drew the sword at his waist without hesitation, pierced the official's heart with one sword, and instantly ended the official's life.
At this time, the official's wife and children heard the noise and came over. When they saw the official lying in a pool of blood, they screamed in fear. Xiao Jinghan looked at them coldly, then he and Luo Lingyue jumped out of the courtyard wall and disappeared into the night.
The cries from the official's mansion attracted the attention of patrolling soldiers in the capital, who quickly rushed to the scene and reported the situation to the Jingzhao Yin.
After hearing the news, Jingzhao Yin Langming, with a serious face, hurried to the official's residence with a group of yamen runners and coroners. His brows were furrowed, and his heart was full of doubts and worries.
When the official's wife saw Lang Ming, she felt like she had seen a savior. She threw herself on him, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and cried out in tears: "Lord Lang! You must help us! My master was killed by the prince's guards! I saw it with my own eyes!"
When Lang Ming heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he almost lost his balance. He stared at the lady with wide eyes in disbelief, secretly complaining in his heart.
He knew in his heart that the dead official was from the Third Prince's camp. If the murderer was really the Crown Prince's man, how could the case be investigated? He felt as if he was in a huge storm and could be swept away at any time.
