Chapter 88: Murder with a Knife

Next, when Xue Rengui asked what was going on around Li Tai, Gao Fan bit his tongue and refused to say anything.

Xue Rengui sneered: "Why, were you afraid that we would hand you over to the Wang family just now? Are you not afraid now?"

Gao Fan said calmly: "What I have confessed will have no value after I confess it. After my death, His Highness the Fourth Highness will properly arrange for my family. But if I leak the secrets of His Highness the Fourth Highness, the consequences will be as bad as the consequences."

If it falls into the hands of the Wang family, it will suffer the same fate."

"Your Highness, I have already become the Fourth Highness, and there is no way to change it. If I can choose, I will definitely choose Your Highness! I have said everything that needs to be said. I beg Your Highness to please me."

Xue Rengui said to Li Min: "Your Highness, I will take him out and deal with him."

Li Min waved his hand and said, "No, let him go."

"What? But-"

Not only Xue Rengui was stunned, but also Gao Fan and the soldier who contacted him were stunned.

Knowing that he was a traitor, His Highness actually let them go.

Li Min waved his hand and said: "Let it go. His Highness just needs to know some situations and doesn't want to take their lives. By the way, after you go back, just pretend that nothing happened. Okay, go ahead."

After being released, Gao Fan and the joint soldiers were as unreal as a dream.

Both of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily before turning around and leaving.

Xue Rengui seemed unhappy that Li Min did not listen to his advice, so he couldn't help but said to Li Min: "Your Highness, you must not treat your enemies with the kindness of a woman."

Li Min smiled and asked: "Rengui, do you think that even if His Highness lets them go, Li Tai will let them go?"

Hearing Li Min's words, Xue Rengui couldn't help but look thoughtful on his face.

After a while, Xue Rengui couldn't help but suddenly realized and said: "Your Highness means that tonight, Li Tai will definitely send someone to get rid of them and kill them to silence them?"

Li Min smiled slightly and said: "What you have to do is to capture the people who come here. You must not let them go!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

At this time, Xue Rengui could not help but admire Li Min.

It turns out that His Highness is not a woman of kindness, but a scheming one - well, this doesn't seem to be a good word, but that's what it means anyway.

If they killed Gao Fan, they would save Li Tai's trouble.

Moreover, Gao Fan was a military commander sent by the imperial court and was registered. After his death, he had to be reported, which was a troublesome matter.

And they waited for the killer sent by Li Tai to kill Gao Fan, and they didn't say anything about the trouble. As long as the future killer caught it, outsiders would know the truth of the matter.

I have to say, His Highness is really amazing!

That night, Xue Rengui personally selected fifty soldiers he trusted and lurked outside the barracks of Gao Fan and the joint soldiers.

Just before the third watch of the day, a dark shadow slipped in.

In order to allow the killer to sneak in successfully, Xue Rengui quietly removed some of the sentries.

As a result, Xue Rengui discovered that the killer was very familiar with the sentry arrangement in their barracks. Even if he did not remove the sentry, he could successfully sneak in without making any noise.

Soon, the killer sneaked into the joint soldier's room.

Not long after, he slipped out of his room. It was obvious that the joint soldier had been killed by him.

Next, the killer sneaked into Gao Fan's room quietly.

Not long after, there were several muffled sounds and a scream in the room.

Faintly, you can still hear Gao Fan's heart-breaking scream: "His Royal Highness, King of Yue, you, you, are so cruel!"



The killer was also very depressed. He almost missed the assassination attempt today.

In the middle of the night, is there anyone who doesn’t sleep?

When he sneaked into Gao Fan's tent, he approached Gao Fan like a civet cat and stabbed out the poisoned dagger in his hand like a poisonous snake.

He thought he could succeed with one blow, but he never expected that Gao Fan didn't sleep!

It seemed as if she knew he was coming and was waiting for him.

Not only did he successfully avoid the dagger in his hand, but he also took advantage of him and struck him with a slap.

The killer and the target changed.

Fortunately, he was holding a poisonous dagger, which almost cut his throat with blood.

In the end, Gao Fan's skin was cut with a dagger, causing him to die from the poison.

But the noise Gao Fan made before his death was so great that it must have alarmed many people.

He must escape now, otherwise it will be terrible if he is caught.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Did someone come in? What happened just now?"

"Get up and take a look! Get your weapons!"

The movement here startled countless soldiers, and lights began to light up in the surrounding military camps.

The killer quickly rushed out of Gao Fan's tent and managed to remain calm at such a critical moment.

Based on the layout of the soldiers who rushed out, he chose the best escape route and fled quickly.

However, what he didn't know was that this road had long been lined with copper and iron walls, just waiting for him to get into it.

Plop!

The killer was very careful, and he was sure that no one would notice him running this way.

Even in the dark night, he was like a civet cat, making no sound.

Unfortunately, he really couldn't see the stumbling rope appearing under his feet.

Therefore, he stumbled unsurprisingly.

Immediately afterwards, his two arms were twisted behind his back, and his head was pressed to the ground, unable to move at all.

Then, torches were lit, and dozens of shadowy soldiers gathered around.

"Oops! We were ambushed! I didn't expect them to be waiting for me here."

This was the last thought of the killer. The next moment, he bit a tooth in his mouth, and in almost the blink of an eye, black blood flowed out of his mouth.

The two soldiers who were holding the killer felt that the temperature of the killer's body had dropped rapidly and his body had become stiff. They realized something was wrong and hurriedly took a breath and found that the killer was dead.

The two soldiers stood up uneasily and reported to Xue Rengui: "Qi Dianjun, he is dead! We, we are willing to accept punishment!"

Xue Rengui patted them on the shoulders and said: "This man is a dead soldier. It's not your fault! Okay, you go and comfort the soldiers, tell them it's okay, and let them disperse."

Xue Rengui, on the other hand, took ten soldiers, carried the body, and reported to Li Min.

When Li Min got the news, he nodded slightly, and then asked: "Does he have anything on him that can prove his identity?"

Xue Rengui said: "Your Highness, no, there are no clues left, whether it is weapons or clothes."

Li Min said in a gloomy voice: "No? Then just leave some clues for him."

Xue Rengui couldn't help but asked hesitantly: "But, will this be seen through by others?"
