The Crown Prince’s New Female Staff

Chapter 1.2

It was terribly quiet as if the sound of a needle falling could be heard.

Huo Shijun even relaxed his breathing a little bit, and his eyes were fixed on the black clothes in front of the hall.

These people are obviously assassins who were sent to assassinate the crown prince, but now they have been wiped out cleanly. What the hell is going on?

“Mr. Huo, step back.”

Huo Shijun frowned, but obediently put away his defensive posture and stood behind his lord again.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

There was another movement of heavy objects hitting the ground several times in a row. The sound was dull and dense, but in the next half-quarter of an hour, it sometimes stopped.

Qi Liangye's mouth curled slightly as he listened to these sounds.

In the next second, an extremely clear female voice that seemed to be far away sounded.——

“There are too many assassins hiding at the Zhengyitang, why didn't you kill them with your guards?”

The female voice was complaining, coinciding with the white figure that fell lightly from the eaves of the room.

The woman was dressed in a white short-sleeved suit with white pants, and her dark hair was neatly braided into braids. She entered the hall before Huo Shijun could react.

As the woman walked, she was silent and unbothered. A short scar was firmly engraved on her face. Her eyes were cold and sharp, like an unsheathed sword.

“It took some effort for me to enter the capital today. Wang Yue's people chased and blocked me along the way, wishing to make me die eight or ten times, so I didn't come earlier”

“Presumably, you are the renowned strategist in the world, Mr. Huo, right? ”

“I am the daughter of Xie Guogong of Sai, Xie Yu, and the current head of the Xie family. I came here on the order of the crown prince. We meet for the first time, please give me a lot of advice.” The woman lowered her waist and bowed slightly, and Huo Shijun also bowed lightly.

With her white fingertips, she took a token from her waist, strode forward, and handed it to the man sitting on the main seat.

The token is made of brown wood in a round shape with a knife engraved on it.

The token still carried the heat from her waist. Qi Liangye had been looking at her since she first entered the hall, and now he couldn't help but turn his attention to this token.

“Has the crown prince heard of the Shadow Tower?”

Qi Liangye rubbed the token before answering,

“The Jianghu's Shadow Tower was publicly stated to be under Wang Yue's command.”

“Not bad.”

Xie Yu put her hands on her chest, raised her eyebrows, and continued:

“The Shadow Tower only took over the grievances of the Jianghu a few years ago, but in the past two years, it has been involved with the imperial court and has been tired of the Jianghu. I plan to deal with that old man Wang Yue to see if he or I will die first.”

These remarks were quite domineering.

Wang Yue, a courtier of the Qi dynasty, has minions all over the world, and his roots are extremely deep. His existence is quite unfavorable to the imperial court and the royal family. Since the emperor was in a coma three years ago, Qi Liangye took charge of the Eastern Palace, and although the dynasty was cleared and has been greatly improved, the existence named Wang Yue was clearly an itch he still can't scratch.

Qi Liangye thought of many strategies to remove Wang Yue, this cancer, but most of Wang Yue's subordinates were counselors from the Jianghu, with ruthless methods and unpredictable styles.

Therefore, Qi Liangye thought of inviting the Xie family, who also possessed the power of Jianghu, out of their mountain.

Two and a half months ago, Qi Liangye sent the keepsake Qilin decree to Xie's family to show his sincerity in inviting them out of the mountain.

That's why Xie Yu had come to the capital thousands of miles away just to assist Qi Liangye.

But along the way, she didn't know who leaked the news of her arrival. Wang Yue seemed to already know the identity of her, the Xie family patriarch. She was chased and blocked along the way. The entire Shadow Tower almost poured out, poisons and assassination. All done by Wang Yue's people.

Xie Yu hadn't suffered from this kind of suffocation since she was twenty years old, but in order to meet the crown prince as soon as possible, she even flee away, something she would never do even if she was outnumbered. It took her two months to reach the capital.

When Huo Shijun heard her words, he suddenly thought about how she had killed so many assassins and looked at the woman with respect in his eyes.

Qi Liangye smiled slightly, “Master Xie is domineering.” (that's gonna be your wife btw(?))

As soon as his voice fell, Qi Liangye slowly raised his head, and Xie Yu's expression also paused, as if she had noticed something, “Mr. Huo, it's better to hide first.”

“Boom--”

The cold sword struck from behind like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole, but Xie Yu's expression remained unchanged.

The woman's right leg was wrapped in a deep internal force and then she turned around and kicked behind. The assassin wanted to sneakily attack her back but who would expect that the woman's reaction was too fast and directly spun a kick at him. The assassin lay on the ground in embarrassment. (Lowly assassins like you can only lay down in front of this kickass queen.)

Between the sudden glint and spark, Huo Shijun couldn't even see Xie Yu's movements clearly. He stepped back subconsciously, but he caught a glimpse of Qi Liangye beside him still drinking tea lightly, without even glancing at the two fighting people in the hall.

The assassin gritted his teeth, the sword in his hand hadn't loosened, but because of Xie Yu's kick just now, the internal energy in his hand was poured back into his meridians, and his internal force became disordered in just a moment.

But he still rushed forward with both hands and feet.

Xie Yu frowned, and when she saw that the assassin wanted to enter further inside to assassinate Qi Liangye, her powerful internal force burst out from her Dantian and stunned the assassin abruptly.

However, due to her strong internal force, several antiques of Qi Liangye's in the hall seemed to have been blown by the strong wind, so Xie Yu can only cast an apologetic look at the man.

Qi Liangye received the apologetic look and wanted to say something, but then he heard a “crack”. Bright red blood stains went straight to the woman's white sleeve. There was a smile on her lips and she hadn't retracted it, her hand was still on the assassin's neck while she calmly walked away.

Huo Shijun's eyes shrank, only to feel that the hall was silent, so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat “pounding”. (Love at first sight naba toh)
