Happy Little Scholar

"The mason has been sent to Qing'an Mansion, and the beast tamer and the person who is proficient in ventriloquism have also been sent to other places. They will not appear in Kyoto for five years."

Li Yi was researching more types of candies and preparing for the upcoming opening of the candy store. Miss Liu Er came over and said lightly.

Although this deed left almost no trace, all clues had to be erased just in case.

Those three people lived very well in Qing'an Mansion. After three or five years, when the news passed and they returned to Beijing, they could take over the position of a store manager.

"The King of Shu is leaving Beijing today." Miss Liu Er suddenly said.

Li Yi looked up at her and said, "Don't mess around. We can't do this yet."

Although the King of Shu is a bastard who can even force his father to abdicate, the bastard prince is also a prince. If an accident happens on the way out of Beijing, things will be very serious.

Miss Liu Er glanced at him and turned away.

"Is the Heroes Conference starting soon?" Li Yi asked again.

"Five days later." Miss Liu Er waved her hand without looking back.

It's really exciting now. It's different from what I saw on TV. It's a real hero conference, where martial arts masters gather together. Thinking about it, I'm really looking forward to it...

"I will send you thousands of miles away, and you will be silent and black and white..."

Li Yi hummed a small tune and continued to work with his head down. He still needed to think carefully about the high-end and low-end routes of the candy shop, and what the specific price points were...

…

…

At dusk, a major street in Kyoto was filled with pedestrians.

Today is the day when the King of Shu leaves the capital. A procession of hundreds of people passes through the street. The scene can be considered magnificent. The accompanying officials, personal guards, and various supplies all leave the city gate in a mighty manner.

Most of the people in Kyoto were just watching the excitement, but some people thought of something deeper.

With the departure of the King of Shu, there will no longer be an adult prince in Kyoto. Those princes who had already gone to their respective fiefdoms and felt that there was no hope will surely become more active again and try their best to fight for that glimmer of hope.

However, does His Majesty have other intentions for this move?

Although many adult princes are incompetent, His Royal Highness King Jin, who is over ten years old, is a breath of fresh air among all the princes. Although he is young, he has outstanding abilities and has not disappointed the courtiers and the people. If His Majesty's body can last for a few more years. ,perhaps……

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and the situation in the court is complicated. This is just a guess. After all, King Jin is young, and no one in the court thought that he would inherit the throne. He is also alone, and it is unlikely that he is Shu. King's opponent.

At this time, outside the city of Kyoto, in a luxurious carriage, an old man sitting in front took something out of his arms, opened the curtain, handed it to the King of Shu, and said, "Just in case, my dearest concubine, The He Cui family started operating in Shuzhou more than ten years ago. When His Highness is here, as long as they read this letter, Shuzhou officials and wealthy families will make it convenient for His Highness. "

King Shu's face was calm, and he was no longer as lost as before. He put the letter away, moved the curtain on the car window, a trace of ferocity appeared on his face, and said: "Kill, no one will be spared!"

"If you can't handle this matter, you don't have to come back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two riders separated from the crowd and quickly disappeared.

…

…

In Kyoto City, in Yangliu Lane, inside a small courtyard.

"I heard that the King of Shu will leave Beijing today."

Xiaocui and Xiaozhu were swinging in the corner. At the stone table in the courtyard, Wan Ruoqing was drying osmanthus powder in the courtyard and said to Zeng Zuimo.

"They saw it when they were passing by the alley just now." Zeng Zuimo said casually as he concentrated on peeling melon seeds.

He was framed last time and almost went to jail. Later, various rumors in the capital pointed to the King of Shu. How could he not know about the news that he was leaving the capital today?

Ever since they knew that they were likely to be targeted by a prince, they were still very nervous. It was only now that they breathed a long sigh of relief.

Wan Ruoqing and Zeng Zuimo were talking about something. Xiao Cui swung on the swing for a while and then came over to help her move the osmanthus powder to a sunny place. She wondered why Sister Ruoqing had picked so many osmanthus flowers this year. She was afraid that the osmanthus cake could be eaten. By this time next year, right?

The time has entered late autumn, and the atmosphere between heaven and earth is more bleak. The courtyard is very clean, but the alley outside the courtyard is already covered with fallen leaves. Not long after cleaning, it will be covered again.

It is hard to imagine that there is a teahouse in this quiet alley. Although the place is remote, the daily business is very prosperous. Many people in Kyoto know that the owner of the teahouse in Yangliu Lane is very good at frying tea. Although the price is a bit expensive, it can attract real tea lovers.

There is always a lazy waiter sitting at the door of the tea house. No matter how busy the business is, he will not go in to help. He spends most of the time napping, and will only wake up when someone approaches the small courtyard opposite. open one's eyes.

"Hey, those two beggars, if you want to beg for food, go elsewhere!"

At a certain moment, the teahouse waiter stood up, walked over, waved to the two beggars who had been wandering here for a long time, and said impatiently.

"Why..." A beggar said unconvinced, and was immediately pulled away by his companions.

In terms of body shape, the restaurant boy's arms were thicker than their thighs. If he was really offended, a severe beating would be inevitable.

Seeing that the two beggars had left in good faith, the man returned to his original position and continued to take a nap. At this time, in a corner outside the alley, two beggars were talking in a low voice.

"That should be the empress's residence."

"The messenger said that it is the incarnation of the empress, and must not be disturbed."

"I also have to tell everyone that if we encounter her in the future, we must not rush into the empress."

"It's better to go back and report to the envoy first. We have found the empress..."

…

…

The night was getting darker, but the moonlight was quite bright, and the entire Kyoto was shrouded in a layer of brightness.

At a certain moment, more than ten figures suddenly appeared in the alley.

Through the moonlight, you can see that everyone is dressed in black, with black cloth covering their faces. The leader is leaning under a certain courtyard wall, looking inside coldly, raising a hand, and gently Wave it down gently.

"Your Highness has an order, leave no one behind, kill them all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up high and climbed onto the courtyard wall.

Everyone behind them groaned and quickly approached the corner.

Whoosh!

A sound suddenly rang in the ears of the others, and then another sharp whistle came from the darkness, followed by the dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

The man who spoke just now fell down from the courtyard wall, and the arrow penetrated the back of his neck and penetrated his throat. He covered his neck and struggled for a few times before making any movement.

Seal the throat with one arrow!

"who!"

After the shock in their hearts, the remaining ten or so people immediately became vigilant, turning their backs to the courtyard wall and looking in the direction where the sound came from just now.

A man holding a bow and arrow jumped down from a big tree not far away. The doors of several houses in the alley opened at the same time, and several figures quickly flashed out from inside.

"Who are you?" Those people asked coldly as they faced off against the men holding bows and arrows.

"Kill!" But the other party didn't answer at all. After a moment of dead silence, someone said something coldly, and then there was the dazzling light of the weapon being unsheathed.

"You all stand back, I'll do it!" Someone from the opposite side actually laughed loudly. Facing these ten people, he was not afraid at all. He took off a long knife from his back and rushed forward.

"You are a hero. These people are targeting two girls. Get rid of them as soon as possible and remember to leave them alive."

The few people behind him actually didn't help, but spread out, everyone guarding one direction.

Two masters on the Heavenly Ranking, and several others are also at the forefront of the Earthly Ranking, and there are famous archers in the world of martial arts standing by to hold the battle. If they can't even deal with these miscellaneous fish, how can they still have the dignity to stay on the Heroes' Ranking?
