Bai He didn't know why Qin Yao had that painful expression on her face, but he was confident that he could afford her.
He said sincerely: "I know you are expensive, but I haven't asked about it, so you can give me a price."
Qin Yao stared at him for a while, her eyes full of regret: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in money now."
White Crane didn't give up and threw out the bait, "Your brother's salt mine in the northwest is not safe."
Qin Yao's heart froze and she didn't answer, waiting for him to continue.
“So if this transaction between you and me can be completed smoothly, I can guarantee that your brother's salt mine business in the northwest will be successful for a long time.”
Having said this, he paused intentionally. The only two exposed copper bells looked at Qin Yao with big eyes, as if he was determined to win this transaction.
The remaining polite smile on Qin Yao's face instantly faded, and she said softly: "Do you know that if you look like this and enter my house in the middle of the night, even if I kill you, no one will know?"
Bai He's lower eyelids trembled very quickly for a few times, and soon regained his composure.
Of course he knew how dangerous it would be to visit unexpectedly. Even if he sent his men to investigate in advance, he only dared to let them watch from a distance in the alley opposite Qin Yao's house and not dare to get close.
But sometimes there are things for which personal life cannot be taken into consideration.
“When I came here, all my close men and women knew that if they didn't see me walking out of this courtyard before dawn, someone would avenge me.” Bai He said firmly.
Qin Yao made a sound, and her eyes suddenly turned to the plate of unfinished watermelon on the small table in the hall. She suddenly asked: "Do you want something to eat?"
Bai He glanced at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
But Qin Yao still walked over and brought him a plate of cut watermelon, "Take two bites?"
Bai He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Qin Yao sneered and said, "Don't worry, I didn't poison it, it's just that the melon will become sour after being left overnight."
So she upheld the fine tradition of not wasting and generously gave the remaining melons to him.
The bright red watermelon was cut into four squares and stacked on a white porcelain plate. Under the candlelight, it looked crystal clear, sweet and juicy.
Bai He, who had been squatting under the wall of Qin Yao's house since the evening, swallowed hard, took off the black scarf on his face, took the watermelon from Qin Yao's hand, held the silver fork, and finished the plate very quickly. The melons in it were all in vain, but she had an empty plate.
Qin Yao raised her hand, and the plate landed lightly on the table in the hall. She controlled her strength to the extreme and didn't even make a sound.
Even though Bai He knew how powerful she was, Bai He was still secretly surprised.
“You go.”
After finishing the food, Qin Yao immediately raised her hand to see the guest off.
Bai He was stunned, "You!"
Qin Yao raised her hand to signal him to stop talking, folded her arms and said: "They are all beating workers. I understand your position, but the situation in front of you is clear. I will not help the army that is bound to lose."
"By the way, aren't the Imperial Master and your Highness the same group? Why don't you go find him? Did you two break up? Is there a gap?" Qin Yao did not forget to apply eye drops, half teasing and half testing.
Bai He's face instantly darkened, and he didn't pay attention to her provocation.
But her words about "defeating the enemy" were accurate.
"You said the army must be defeated?" Bai He's voice roared from his throat, his eyes widened with anger, as if he wanted to beat Qin Yao to death.
His Royal Highness is the orthodox one!
Now His Majesty only has one son left, the Prince. Even if His Highness was confused about King Feng, he would not lose His favor. How could he be defeated!
He didn't need to speak, Qin Yao could guess what he was thinking just by looking at the changeable expression. As I said before, we should keep a secret line so that we can meet each other in the future. She was in a good mood today, so she kindly reminded her:
"Bubai, why are you panicking? What are you doing to come to me? Don't you want me to assassinate King Feng or Wang Jin?"
Qin Yao asked a series of questions, leaving Bai He speechless.
He really wanted to come to her to kill Wang Jin. After all, King Feng was still an ally, and there was no clear break between the two sides.
It's just that a mysterious master of unknown origin suddenly appeared behind Wang Jin. All the killers he sent out before yesterday never returned.
Today, my spies came to report that they had followed him and completely lost the news about Wang Jin!
When the news reached Bai He's ears, he felt the power of fear for the first time in his life.
Even though he had fought alone on the battlefield and fallen into death several times, he had never been so scared.
Because it was he who was going to die in the past, not his Highness.
Qin Yao seemed unable to see the faint trembling of Bai He and continued:
“Let's put aside the case of Prince Feng for now. It is a fact that the entire troupe died in vain. The emperor committed the same crime as the common people. This crime is clearly laid out in front of us, and the witness is in the Jingzhao Palace Prison.”
"Your Highness has made such a mistake, do you think the Holy Emperor can still protect him? Can the censors of Kyoto agree to let him go gently? Takeru is willing to accept that his class leader and his companions lost their lives in vain?"
Besides, Bai He is so anxious to come to her, what does this mean?
It means that their black knights can't find Wang Jin now. Wang Jin is now safe and has sufficient evidence.
As long as he waits for a suitable opportunity, he will return to Kyoto and bring justice to Wu Sheng.
“Lord He, are your confidants ready to die as a scapegoat for their master?”
Qin Yao smiled sarcastically, "The order was given by the master, but it was the subordinates who stood up to take the blame when something happened. Today it is someone else, but tomorrow it will be you."
“If I were you, I would run away right now.” Qin Yao shrugged, as if the knife had not fallen on me and I could say whatever I wanted.
Bai He was so angry that his teeth itched, and he explained very seriously: "You don't know my Highness at all, so don't talk nonsense, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"
"My Highness has always been kind and courteous to his subordinates. What you said is completely false. We are all voluntarily serving His Highness, and we will not give up even if we die!"
Qin Yao smiled slightly: "Okay, okay, your highness is really lucky to have you."
It's not a 'blessing'. If the Mercy Highness Bai He said is truly benevolent, then the person who ordered the death of the entire theater troupe was Bai He!
It was he who caused His Highness to become what he is now.
Wrong.
There is another Sikong Jian.
A national division commander and a black cavalry general successfully brought the master they were loyal to to such a disadvantage.
Bai He's loyalty to the prince was never questioned by Qin Yao, but Si Kong Jian
“There is a ghost inside, Lord He.” Qin Yao said happily.
Bai He heard her strange aura, his hands clenched into fists, and the anger exhaled from his nostrils was so hot that he wanted to burn Qin Yao.
But rather than hating Qin Yao, he hated himself even more for trusting that guy Sikong Jian!
“Let's just pretend that what happened today never happened.”
Bai He squeezed out these words through his teeth, pulled up his scarf, jumped over the high wall of her house, and soon disappeared into the night.
With that hurried look, he was afraid that if Qin Yao mocked him a few more times, he would be tempted to commit suicide to apologize.
Qin Yao shrugged and looked at the crescent moon in the sky. Who else will come to her next? (End of chapter)
