Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 194: Just the Beginning

Wu Shiming didn't say anything.

The prince now wants to kill Xie Xiaocheng. Will the next person he wants to kill be Zhang Yue?

And Zhang Yue is Xu Yuan’s elder brother.

He had seen the two of them getting along today. If Zhang Yue died...

Xuyuan will not let him go.

After thinking it over, Wu Shiming asked, "Just killing Xie Xiaocheng?"

Seeing the hesitation in Wu Shiming's eyes, Bei Yuan said, "Only kill Xie Xiaocheng."

"What if I can't kill him?"

Bei Yuan looked at Wu Shiming and said lightly: "Zi Qian, you can do it."

Wu Shiming stopped talking.

Beiyuan looked out the window and saw snowflakes falling everywhere, so beautiful.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Xuyuan. What do you think of Xuyuan? Can it be used by us?"

Wu Shiming's expression froze.

Bei Yuan did not miss it and immediately smiled and said, “It seems that Ziqian has his own selfish motives.”

"Your Highness, you are joking. I am just a commoner who has some ability to make money. How could I have any selfish motives?"

Wu Shiming looked at Bei Yuan and said calmly, "Based on my understanding of Xu Yuan, he might be the Third Prince's man. If His Royal Highness wants to win him over, I'm afraid it will backfire."

"I am the crown prince." Bei Yuan reminded him word by word: "I am the prince."

"If Your Highness is really so confident, why would he still be afraid of the Third Prince?" Wu Shiming asked back.

After that, he continued, "Your Highness, you can't survive in the capital without someone behind you. Xu Yuan committed a crime against the Taiwei Mansion, and she was able to escape unscathed after killing them with a knife. This only means that she has leverage over the Taiwei Mansion. Your Highness, you don't think that Xu Yuan only has these things in her hands, right?"

After hearing Wu Shiming's words, Bei Yuan's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and he made up his mind: "Then kill Xu Yuan as well, and put an end to it all."

Wu Shiming's eyes turned cold, "Your Highness, our cooperation is only for the purpose of making money. Xu Yuan cannot die. If Your Highness insists on killing Xu Yuan, then I can only turn against Your Highness."

"presumptuous!"

Bei Yuan slammed his palm on the table, he stood up and said: "Wu Shiming, are you threatening me?!"

Bei Yuan looked at Wu Shiming with anger on his face.

Wu Shiming stood up and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Your Highness, you can give it a try."

After saying that, Wu Shiming turned away.

A servant closed the door, and Bei Yuan was so angry that he smashed the teacup on the table to the ground, "Wu Shiming is too presumptuous!"

"Don't be angry, Your Highness." The servant hurriedly comforted Bei Yuan and said, "He is just a businessman. Why do you want to hurt yourself by getting angry?"

Bei Yuan calmed down a little and said, "Wu Shiming and I are no longer on the same page."

He said to kill the wish.

On the one hand, he wanted to really kill Xu Yuan, and on the other hand, he wanted to test Wu Shiming.

But he didn't expect it.

Wu Shiming would actually be like this.

After leaving Qianjinfang, Wu Shiming got directly into a carriage.

The servant asked, "Sir, where are you going?"

"Chasing Wind Hall."

Wu Shiming rubbed his brows, thought for a moment, and then said, "Forget it, I won't go to Zhuifeng Hall, let's go back."

It was quiet at night, probably because Zhang Yue had come. I had been unable to fall asleep for a long time after making a wish, so I simply lit a candle and got up to write a letter.

Zhang Yue is about to go back.

Previously, she had been thinking of asking Geshu Xing to deliver this letter to the Geshu tribe, but now it seems that there is a more suitable candidate.

After writing the two letters, Xuyuan put them in the envelopes and was about to go to sleep, but he heard the sound of a sharp wind outside.

Almost instantly, Wishing blew out the candle.

The sounds of wind and snowflakes mixed together, as well as the sound of sharp blades breaking through the air, and then the sound of weapons clashing.

"Make a wish!"

Zhang Yue got up from the bed and subconsciously went to look for Xu Yuan.

I have been in the army for several months and have fought in another battle.

Even at night, Zhang Yue remained vigilant.

The moment I heard the wrong sound, I immediately got up and went to find Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan didn't say anything and went out through the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a dozen men in black standing on the roof.

Under the moonlight, the dozen or so people looked like Shuras seeking revenge.

Zhang Yue immediately said after seeing the situation clearly: "Make a wish, don't come out."

No weapons were allowed into the city, and Zhang Yue was unarmed, so he didn't dare to go forward easily.

The two rooms were only separated by a window. Xu Yuan's hand fell to his waist, grasped the hilt of the knife, and moved towards Zhang Yue while saying, "The people from the Chasing Wind Hall are a little too bold, aren't they?"

No one responded, only the leader raised his hand.

The men in black around them immediately drew their bows and arrows. Xu Yuan drew out his soft sword, chopped off the arrows that were directed at him, and then hid in the room where Zhang Yue was.

Seeing this, the men in black jumped off the roof, ready to break in with swords in hand.

Zhang Yue said calmly: "Xuyuan, give me the sword, I will cover you."

"No, I can't run fast." Xu Yuan handed the sword to Zhang Yue, "Brother, go, the Shen family is also on this street, rush out and go to the Shen family immediately."

"How can I..." Zhang Yue said, his voice suddenly became quiet, he said: "Wait a minute, it seems someone is coming."

The moment Zhang Yue's voice fell, the sound of weapons colliding outside became more obvious.

Xu Yuan suddenly remembered the voice he had heard before.

She moved to the window and carefully opened it a crack.

There were countless people standing in the yard, and the first one to bear the brunt was Chen Shan.

The thought of making a wish came to my mind.

It’s Beiyao.

Zhang Yue also came over and saw the fierce fighting outside. He pulled Xu Yuan back and said, "Hide well. I'll go out and take a look."

"Brother, don't go out. I'll go."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out without waiting for Zhang Yue to react.

In the yard, two groups of people were fighting.

Bei Yao, dressed in black, stood under the eaves, looking at the situation in front of him with interest, and said, "Chen Shan, remember to leave him alive."

Chen Shan raised his knife and struck a man cleanly, but he still turned around and said, "Yes."

Bei Yao said, and when he saw Xu Yuan coming out, he raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't look that surprised."

"Is this also your plan?" Xu Yuan asked.

Making a wish cannot explain the situation in front of you.

As soon as Zhuifengtang arrived, Beiyao came right after.

It's hard not to feel that this was intentional.

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Bei Yao said, "You assassinated the imperial general who was about to go south to suppress the bandits. You will not be able to escape death, Zhui Feng Tang."

From then on, there were only two giants in the capital: Shige and Pinhualou.

Beiyao's eyes were calm, "What a pity."

Xuyuan said: "I see you don't seem to have any regrets at all."

It was not until now that Xu Yuan felt that he finally truly understood what Bei Yao meant by a one-hit kill.

"Is there?" Bei Yao asked back.

Make a wish and nod.

Beiyao smiled and said, "That's right."

Snow flakes fell one after another, Bei Yao said calmly: "You are being targeted by the prince, and what happened today is just the beginning."
