As the horse jolted, Su Yizhao felt like his stomach was churning and uncomfortable.
"I said, you probably want to vomit, right?" the woman's teasing voice came from behind Su Yizhao's head.
Su Yizhao sighed helplessly, "Girl, just slow down."
"Aren't you all in Dali Temple some desperate Saburos? It is said that one of them can fight ten of them. Why do you look so weak?"
The woman was a little strange, but she didn't slow down.
"I opened the back door and went there, do you believe it?" Su Yizhao was lying on the horse. She felt that she was about to be knocked off.
"I don't believe it." The woman said, and then she whipped the horse again.
Su Yizhao yelled that he was a madman, and the horse jolted for a long time. It was almost dark, and the horse had walked out of the city no matter how far it had gone.
"There is a ruined temple ahead. Let's spend the night here tonight!"
The woman rode her horse to the ruined temple and took the lead in throwing Su Yizhao in front of her.
As soon as she got off the horse, she immediately tied Su Yizhao's hands with ropes.
Su Yizhao thought it looked familiar. Isn't it the same as the rope used to hang the third prince? Could it have been cut from above?
"Be honest, I will let you go when I get there."
The woman dragged Su Yizhao towards the ruined temple. The temple was very dark, but one could see that there was air leakage from all sides.
"Is this place far away from the city? It doesn't matter if you let me go." Su Yizhao sighed, feeling uncomfortable being tied up.
"That won't work. You have to wait until I leave the capital safely."
The woman snorted coldly, then took out a rope and tied Su Yizhao to the pillar inside.
"You stay here while I go get some food and some firewood."
The woman was about to leave as she spoke, and Su Yizhao was speechless.
"You tie me up in the wild mountains here. What if I get eaten by a wolf?"
The woman sneered, "I won't go far, don't worry! Officials are afraid of death."
After the woman left, Su Yizhao took out a dagger from the space. After thinking about it, she stuffed the dagger back.
Perhaps by following this woman, we can follow the clues and find out who is behind the scenes.
The woman came back soon as she said, and threw the chopped firewood on the ground, along with a beaten pheasant.
He took out the fire seal from his pocket and planned to light a fire.
Su Yizhao looked at the woman carefully. She had changed her face, a slightly more delicate face, but Su Yizhao was not sure whether this was the woman's true face. It was obvious that the woman knew how to disguise herself.
"Stop looking, do you think I will show my true colors to others?" The woman noticed Su Yizhao's gaze and sneered without raising her head.
"What worries and grudges do you have with the third prince? Why do you want to kill him?"
Su Yizhao felt that this woman was not difficult to talk to. Anyway, she didn't look like she was going to harm her. Of course, that was the case for now.
"Want to know?" The woman looked at Su Yizhao with a half-smile, "You won't be able to live if you know it, so do you still want to know?"
Su Yizhao replied decisively: "Forget it!"
The woman suddenly giggled, her voice was very clear, she must be young.
"Sure enough, you officials are greedy for life and afraid of death."
"It's okay to tell you, but am I still a murderer?"
The fire had already risen at this time, and the orange firelight shone on her face, making her look a little peaceful.
"I just use money to do things. Someone asked me to kill the third prince. I did it and got three thousand taels of silver."
"Three thousand taels?" Su Yizhao shook his head and laughed, "He is the third prince. If you tell him about this, he will give it to you, not to mention three thousand taels, but even thirty thousand taels."
"That's not possible. Since I have accepted the task, no matter what the other party's identity is, they cannot betray him. Otherwise, who will come to me for business in the future?"
Unexpectedly, he is still a principled person? Su Yizhao didn't know what to say.
"Before the assassination, did you know the identity of the third prince? Do you know that you have now become a wanted criminal by the court, and will become a street rat wherever you go in the future, and you will be in constant fear all your life."
Su Yizhao felt that it was not cost-effective to take this business. The third prince was a member of the royal family, so this woman would dare to take it.
The woman's face changed slightly, "Isn't that the person who tricked me? He didn't tell me his identity clearly before showing me the portrait. How did I know he was the third prince of the current dynasty?"
"You entered the prince's mansion and said you didn't know his identity?" Su Yizhao didn't believe it.
"I, I can't read!" The woman was a little annoyed.
"I only recognize banknotes. I told you before that I would not kill anyone from the royal family. That person deceived me. He also said that he would let me pretend to be the third prince's concubine, which would make things easier. I knocked out the concubine who came on the way.
, and then at the request of the employer, he pretended to commit suicide, thinking that the matter was completed."
The woman became more and more angry as she spoke, "Just as I was about to escape, I didn't expect that the mansion was heavily guarded. There were guards everywhere. Even if I wanted to leave, I couldn't leave."
Did he suffer the loss of being uneducated? Su Yizhao felt speechless again.
"Then the Prince's Mansion is so rich, but you never doubted it? Since you are unwilling to accept business within the royal family, why does that person insist on looking for you?" Su Yizhao's face was very solemn.
"Because I am already well-known in the arena and have never failed, but most of the time I take business from people in the arena. If it is an official, I usually won't accept it. Who would have expected that that person would lie to me?"
The woman herself felt wronged. She was a killer, but she was also a principled killer.
Su Yizhao snorted coldly and said sternly: "It seems that your hands are stained with the blood of too many people. I don't think you are unaware of it, but more like you are blinded by the three thousand taels of silver. That concubine
What? Did you kill her?"
"No, it's hidden in the attic of the house next door. It's just a little drug. After the drug wears off, she will wake up."
Hearing what the woman said, Su Yizhao finally felt relieved that at least he had not harmed another innocent life.
But she didn't think the woman had a conscience, it was just another price!
"I know you look down on me!" the woman suddenly said after plucking the chicken feathers.
Su Yizhao looked over in surprise, and the woman continued: "I have only learned the art of killing since I was a child, and my father only taught me this. There are many enemies in our family, and my father was a killer, and he was killed in the end.
I avenged him and continued to live in this capacity."
Su Yizhao was silent. She didn't know whether to sympathize with this woman or call her pathetic.
Smelling the aroma of roast chicken, Su Yizhao felt hungry in his stomach.
The firewood made a crackling sound, and the woman said again: "A man from a family like you should look down on such a barbecue?"
The woman ate the delicious roast chicken and looked sideways at Su Yizhao.
Su Yizhao smiled, "Do you think I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth? Maybe you don't know my origin. I am just a bastard. I have been dependent on my biological mother since I was a child, and I have suffered a lot."
