Idle game leads to another world.

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

After all, the location where everyone was was not far from Kangping City. At most, it would take only an hour.

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

The fireworks exploding in the sky could be seen not only by the palace guards, but also by the assassins from Anxiangtang.

So this group of guys started to retreat, and the palace guards didn't dare to chase them, for fear of being attacked by a surprise attack, or also afraid 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 palace guards still did not dare to relax. They left a mess on the ground 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 had done it.

The entire city of Kangping was under martial law, and all people related to it were mobilized. Even the detectives were eager to search house by house.

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

The princess was rushed back to the palace. Yang Yiyi couldn't go with them, so they went home with Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping. The princess's wish to hear a story would probably have to be postponed.

Of course, before leaving, Yang Yiyi told the palace guards that she recognized these people as assassins from Anxiangtang, and she estimated that the entire Qizhou Kingdom would have to launch a large-scale purge against Anxiangtang.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Yang Yiyi had not happened to meet them, the assassins of Anxiangtang would have succeeded. These people are really professional. When they found out that things were impossible, they ran away immediately without any delay. It would not be easy to catch any clues about them.

But Yang Yiyi doesn't have to worry about this matter. Qizhou Kingdom also has an organization similar to the Plum Blossom Guard, and it's time for others to do the work.

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

He has been living in Li Yingluo's house for more than a day or two. He even kept the room given to Yang Yiyi and did not change any of the furnishings.

But just because Yang Yiyi is calm doesn’t mean everyone is calm.

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

The most frightened ones, of course, were He Ling and several younger sisters.

They were no longer confused, but scared to death.

What's the matter?

How did I meet the princess?

Why are there so many killers?

Ah? Still have to live in Situ's house?

Things were moving so fast that they felt like they didn't have enough brains.

Staying here, with dignitaries everywhere, is too stimulating for He Ling and her friends.

In fact, this is the normal reaction of a normal person. 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, there are plenty of rooms at my house.

Moreover, since the princess was assassinated in Kangping City, every street and alley will be strictly investigated. The inns where foreign merchants live will definitely be the focus of strict investigation. Don't let He Ling and the others dress like gangsters and get into trouble by the constables who are eager to finish their work as soon as possible.

Li Yingluo was very sure that before the martial law was lifted, even the ships at the port could not sail. If He Ling and the others wanted to go to Nanshan City, they would have to wait until the ban was lifted, so it would be better for them 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 they were at Lingyun Temple before, it was obvious that Anxiangtang was still following Yang Yiyi and had no interest in the princess at all.

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 mentioning it before, Anxiangtang is a killer organization that only cares about money, and they will not kill officials appointed by the imperial court, no matter how much money they are offered, because they are afraid of offending the power of the court.

Oh, instead of killing the imperial officials, you want to kill the princess, right?

Are you playing word games here?
Something is obviously wrong.

An organization that never gets in trouble with the government suddenly comes 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 or influence. She cannot hinder the ministers in the court, nor can she hinder the princes in the palace.

No matter how much he disliked Princess Mingzhu, he would never resort to such a desperate measure.

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

But who else could it be besides the court?
Li Chengxi immediately thought of the North.

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

Suppose, the assassins from Anxiang Hall did not intend to kill the princess, but to capture her...

The possibility that the North is behind the Anxiang Hall is particularly high. Using Princess Mingzhu as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Qizhou, even if it is impossible to make Qizhou stop supporting the war in the north, it can at least restrict Qizhou's next moves.

The Sirius Cult has been causing trouble in the Central Plains martial arts world. All major sects are collecting intelligence related to the Sirius Cult and regard it as a major enemy.

But this ignores the North.

People from the north have more advantages in operating in the Central Plains than people from the Western Regions. After all, there is no difference between them and people from the Central Plains in appearance.

It is hard to say how far these guys have stretched their hands while the Central Plains people's attention is on the Sirius Cult, but since even the Anxiang Hall is following the orders of the North, I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic.

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

He originally thought that after dealing with the Sirius Cult, Yang Yiyi would just go around doing chivalrous things, but why are these things happening one after another, and it's never ending.

In fact, Yang Yiyi had heard about the North many times, and she wanted to go there to take a look, but Li Chengxi always had the attitude of "You are not allowed to go!"

After all, Shen Qingluo's cousin Shen Qingshuang is in the north, and the oppressive feeling brought by that legal loli is still vivid in his mind.

Honestly speaking, even with Yang Yiyi's current fighting strength, she still has no chance of winning against Shen Qingshuang, not to mention that there is an even more terrible leader of Fengyun Village behind Shen Qingshuang.

Even if he is weaker than Jiang Fengyue, that is not something Yang Yiyi can handle.

Moreover, Li Chengxi was sure that as long as Yang Yiyi got involved, she would definitely come face to face with these masters.

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

Therefore, Li Chengxi did not reveal a single word of these speculations to Yang Yiyi. If he had told her, the girl would have packed her bags and headed north on the spot.

Although Yang Yiyi listens to Li Chengxi very much, she will not stand idly by when it comes to major issues of right and wrong. No matter what Li Chengxi says, it will be useless.

So Li Chengxi now just hopes that there won’t be any more troubles, which will cause Yang Yiyi’s attention to be focused on the north.
