Chapter 1543 I hope there won’t be any more trouble

After all, the location of the group was not far from Kangping City, and it would take at most an hour to get there.

Kangping City was the capital of Qizhou State, and there were many soldiers patrolling around it.

The fireworks exploding in the sky could be seen not only by the imperial guards, but also by the assassins of Anxiang Hall.

So these guys began to retreat, and the imperial guards did not dare to chase them at all, fearing that they would be killed by a surprise attack, or that it was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Not long after, a large number of soldiers arrived at the scene, but the imperial guards still did not dare to relax, leaving a mess for the soldiers to clean up, and quickly escorted Princess Mingzhu back to Kangping City.

Soon, the news that the princess encountered an assassin at the gate of Kangping City spread throughout the streets and alleys.

The emperor was furious and investigated who was responsible.

The entire Kangping City was under martial law, and all the people related to it were mobilized, and even the detectives wanted to search every house.

This incident was no less than a slap in the face for the Emperor of Qizhou. It would be strange if he was not angry.

The princess was urgently sent back to the palace. Of course, Yang Yiyi could not go with her. They went home with Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping. The princess's wish to hear the story may have to be postponed.

Of course, before leaving, Yang Yiyi told the imperial guards that she recognized these people as assassins from the Anxiang Hall. It is estimated that the entire Qizhou Kingdom will have to launch a large-scale purge against the Anxiang Hall.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for Yang Yiyi, the assassins of the Anxiang Hall would have succeeded. These people are really professional. They ran away immediately when they found that things were impossible. There was no delay at all. It might not be easy to catch their clues.

However, Yang Yiyi does not need to worry about this matter. Qizhou also has an organization similar to the Plum Blossom Guard. It is time for others to work.

It is estimated that after the emperor listens to the report of the imperial guards, there will be rewards for Yang Yiyi. She just needs to wait honestly now.

Living in Li Yingluo's house has been a long time. Even the room for Yang Yiyi is still there, and all the furnishings have not been changed.

But Yang Yiyi is very calm, but that doesn't mean she is calm.

Although Wu Shaoyi is also a lady from a wealthy family, compared with Li Yingluo, the daughter of Situ, there is really a world of difference. When Wu Shaoyi heard that Yang Yiyi was going to stay, she felt terrified.

And the most terrified, of course, were He Ling and several junior sisters.

They were no longer confused, but scared to death.

What's going on?

How did they run into the princess?

How come there are a bunch of killers?

Ah? Have to live in Situ's house?

Things are developing too fast, and they feel like their brains are not enough.

Staying here, there are dignitaries everywhere, which is too exciting for He Ling and others.

In fact, this is the reaction of normal people. Don't forget that this is a feudal society. Not everyone is as carefree as Yang Yiyi and can chat and laugh with the princess.

He Ling wanted to find an inn outside, but Li Yingluo said, you can just stay there, I have plenty of rooms.

Moreover, since the assassination of the princess happened in Kangping City, the streets and alleys will be strictly checked, and the inns where foreign merchants live will definitely be the focus of strict inspection. Don't let He Ling and her friends dress up as people from the underworld and be troubled by the constables who want to get their work done as soon as possible.

Li Yingluo is very sure that before the martial law is lifted, even the ships at the port cannot be opened. If He Ling and her friends want to go to Nanshan City, they must wait until the ban is lifted. It is better to stay in Situ Mansion.

In addition, Yang Yiyi also persuaded He Ling to stay, so they entered the guest room a little tremblingly. He Ling privately told several junior sisters not to walk around at ordinary times. If they bumped into the senior officials, we would be in trouble.

This matter has come to an end for the time being, but what Li Chengxi doesn't understand is why Anxiangtang would target Princess Mingzhu.

When we were at Lingyun Temple before, it was obvious that Anxiangtang was still following Yang Yiyi and had no interest in the princess.

Now, more than half a year has passed, and Anxiangtang has actually organized a team of hundreds of people to target the princess. What happened during this period?

I remember that Anxiangtang was a killer organization that only cared about money, and they would not kill officials appointed by the court, no matter how much money they were paid, because they were afraid of offending the power of the court.

Oh, they would not kill officials appointed by the court, but would kill the princess, right?

Are you playing word games here?

This is obviously wrong.

An organization that never offends the government suddenly came to kill the princess. There must be something wrong.

Besides, what's the point of killing Princess Mingzhu?

She has a high status, but no power. She can't hinder the ministers in the court, and she can't hinder the princes in the palace.

Even if they disliked Princess Mingzhu, they would not resort to such a bad strategy.

The person who instructed Anxiangtang should not be in the court.

But who else could it be besides the court?

Li Chengxi immediately thought of the Northland.

Princess Rousi was once captured by the Northlanders. If it weren't for the close pursuit of the Plum Blossom Guards, the Northlanders would have almost taken the princess away.

Assuming that the assassins of the Anxiang Hall did not aim to kill the princess, but to capture her...

The possibility that the Northland was behind the Anxiang Hall was particularly high. Using the Princess Mingzhu as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Qizhou, even if it was impossible to stop Qizhou from supporting the war in the north, it would still restrict Qizhou's next move.

The Tianlang Cult has been doing all sorts of things in the Central Plains martial arts world. All the major sects are collecting intelligence related to the Tianlang Cult and regard it as a great enemy.

But this ignores the Northland.

The Northlanders have more advantages than the Western Regions in the Central Plains. After all, there is no difference between them and the Central Plains people in appearance.

It is hard to say how far these guys have stretched their hands while the people of the Central Plains are paying attention to the Tianlang Sect, but since even the Anxiang Hall is following the orders of the Northland, the situation is probably not optimistic.

Thinking of this, Li Chengxi scratched his head in annoyance.

He thought that after dealing with the Tianlang Sect, Yang Yiyi would just do justice everywhere, but why are there so many things happening one after another, and it is endless.

In fact, Yang Yiyi has heard about the Northland many times, and she also wants to go there to take a look, but Li Chengxi always has the attitude of "No!"

After all, Shen Qingluo's cousin Shen Qingshuang is in the Northland, and the oppression brought by that legal loli is still vivid.

To be honest, even with Yang Yiyi's current strength, it still feels that she has no chance of winning against Shen Qingshuang, not to mention that there is an even more damned Fengyun Village leader behind Shen Qingshuang.

Even if she is weaker than Jiang Fengyue, it is not something Yang Yiyi can handle.

Moreover, Li Chengxi was sure that if Yang Yiyi got involved, she would definitely face these masters.

After all, when this girl rushed forward stubbornly, she didn't even look at whether there was any danger. Li Chengxi knew it very well.

So Li Chengxi didn't tell Yang Yiyi a word of these speculations. If he really told her, this girl would have to pack her bags and go to the north on the spot.

Although Yang Yiyi listened to Li Chengxi very much, she would not stand idly by when it came to major issues. No matter what Li Chengxi said, it would be useless.

So Li Chengxi now just hoped that there would be no more trouble, which would cause Yang Yiyi to focus her attention on the north.
