C16 The Beginning of Fate

Aunt Jing, who was attending to her princess, slept. She still had some lingering fear from the unforeseen event and couldn't stop worrying. Just like that, she stayed by Gu Qingxin's side. When she was tired, she rested on the edge of the bed.

The breathing of the two people in the room gradually stabilized. Outside their house, the atmosphere was very solemn.

Behind the tavern, it was equivalent to a flat ground in a courtyard. All the guards were gathered there. Who else could be in the lead besides Mo Wen in his official uniform?

"Have the casualty figures been calculated?" The dignified voice came from Mo Wen's mouth. He walked forward step by step, inspecting the corpses on the ground. His expression was sometimes serious and sometimes relaxed.

One of the guards in front of him cupped his fists and reported the number of casualties on both sides meticulously, "There are a total of thirty assassins and they have all been annihilated without exception. We lost eight people, ten other brothers were slightly injured, and two others were seriously injured. "

"Alright, I got it. I don't need to say what we need to do to deal with the corpses of these assassins and take care of the wounded."

Mo Wen ordered expressionlessly while carefully observing everything. When he walked in front of a corpse, he suddenly stopped and his eyes became serious.

"What is going on with this person?" Mo Wen asked in a deep voice while standing in front of the corpse.

The guard who answered did not dare to be careless and immediately went forward to check. He confirmed that the man was dead without a doubt. The fatal wound was the scissor in front of his chest! And the strangest thing was the scissors!

Use scissors to kill people? Who could it be? Firstly, he excluded the guards, since every guard had their own blade and sword, and it was absolutely impossible for them to kill with scissors. Then, other than the palace maids, and the princess and Aunt Jing that came to welcome them, it was impossible for the palace maids to learn martial arts and master the force so well that no one would not be aware of them. And the Little Princess was only a five-year-old girl, it was absolutely impossible for her to have that kind of ability! Then the most likely target would be — Aunt Jing!

Back then, Aunt Jing was able to bring the little princess out of the palace and protect her life.

The guard thought for a moment, then said while weighing his options, "This subordinate thinks that the assassin was killed by Aunt Jing who was by the little princess' side. It's more likely that she was killed by her."

Mo Wen frowned. He didn't answer, neither did he agree nor deny it. He was just deep in thought.

The guard did not know what his boss was thinking and felt uneasy for a moment until Mo Wen spoke again: "Where did you find this corpse? Take me to it."

"Yes." With the leader's order, the guard was relieved. He immediately stepped forward and led Mo Wen over.

Was this where the assassin found him?

Mo Wen observed the surroundings and took the surrounding environment into consideration. Finally, he fixed his gaze on the window on the second floor.

This was the west side of the inn, and the window was facing the west side. And that room, was the room where the princess lived! To be able to accurately stab a pair of scissors into the heart and kill it meant that the person who attacked was very familiar with the organs of the human body. The scissors pierced the assassin's chest, and if he was not wrong, it was from that window that the scissors flew out.

Besides the princess herself, there was only Aunt Jing and the palace maids who went in and out of the princess' room. He had already checked all the palace maids that had been brought here. That was why before he left the palace, he checked all eighteen generations of the palace maids' ancestors, but didn't find anything strange. He didn't find any poisonous weapons, nor did he notice that the palace maids had inner strength.

This possibility was rather small, so the people who took action could only appear on Aunt Jing and the princess. Just as their subordinate had said, the princess was only five years old, so no one would suspect her. If Aunt Jing wanted to protect the princess, she wouldn't be able to find a weapon.

However, only Mo Wen knew that it couldn't be Aunt Jing. When the assassin had appeared, he had been with Aunt Jing, who had not had a chance to get to the second floor after being entangled by the assassin. Although her martial arts were good, the only thing she didn't have was her body splitting technique.

Therefore, he was very certain that the person who used the scissors to kill the assassin was none other than the person no one would suspect, Her Highness the Princess herself!

Mo Wen had an answer in his heart, so he didn't say it out loud. He told the guard to settle the matter and walked out.

Since they all thought it was Aunt Jing, then let their subordinates think it was Aunt Jing.

Before leaving, the Emperor summoned him into the Imperial Study, and personally gave him the task of bringing back this unharmed Princess Third Princess with a cautious and serious air. He gave him the order badge that represented the highest commander, allowing him to choose the most elite team of guards as he pleased, in order to prevent the princess from getting ambushed and harmed on her way to the capital.

He could still clearly remember the emperor's stern expression, "Mo Wen, I want you to bring the princess to me safely. If not, I will ask you a question. Remember, if Princess Qingxin encounters any mishaps on the road, you will raise your head and meet her! "

He had promised.

However, even someone as wise as His Majesty the Emperor would never guess that the Princess would be so capable. His Majesty had guessed that the harem's men would make a move against the princess, and arranged for him to lead the most elite troops to protect her. However, he hadn't expected that a five-year-old princess could so easily kill someone with a pair of scissors. Not only that, but the nine links that very few adult women were able to solve with a single glance, the princess was able to see through them! This princess is definitely not ordinary.

It was good that the princess was outstanding, but for a five-year-old child to have such an ability was not normal. He was afraid that the princess would have already been lost. If they were deceived by someone trying to break into the inner regions of the Platinum Kingdom and pretend to be a princess, then the safety of the country would be very precarious!

That night, the Guard Commander Mo Wen thought for an entire night. Even until the dawn of the next day, he was still unable to come up with any countermeasures.

He could only wait until he reached the palace and tell the king to make the decision himself! In the end, Mo Wen was still powerless, and could only come up with this method. But no matter what, he admired this princess, and he sincerely hoped that this princess, who possessed such a shocking talent, would be a fake princess. If that was the case, not only would it be His Majesty's fortune, it would also be the fortune of a country!

On the same night, the 'Princess' that Mo Wen did not sleep all night was not as peaceful as usual.

That night, Gu Qingxin had had many dreams, many dreams from her previous life, this life, and many unknown things mixed together. In this unfair night, all of them had entered her dreams.

In her dream, she saw a lot of things.

First came the story of Little Star and Brother Mu.

In the distant and quiet little mountain village, one could always see the two figures very familiar as they played and ran all over the mountain. Gu Qingxin stretched out her hand to catch them, but she was always a bit short of being able to touch them and call out to them, but she could not make a sound. She could only silently watch as the two figures holding hands slowly disappeared into the distance, allowing a sense of powerlessness and panic to assail her.

Then, the scene changed and the two children appeared in front of her. The two children wore coarse clothes, while the boy wore a pair of simple grass shoes. Although the girl wore a pair of small embroidered shoes, the shoes were rather big, and the needlepoint patterns embroidered on the shoes were also rather rough. It was obvious that the lady who made the embroidered shoes was definitely not very good.

They sat on the branch of a large tree. It was a large, luxuriant banyan tree with thick, sturdy branches. The two children sat on the branch as they spoke.

"Brother Mu, this is a huge log!" The little girl made a gesture with her hands and spread them wide open, indicating the size of the trees.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" The boy was puzzled.

"You are a small piece of wood. At this moment, a large piece of wood is sitting on a large piece of wood and playing with it!" The girl spoke with great force. She blinked her eyes as she smiled complacently. Her eyes were filled with happiness as she stared at the boy.

The boy scratched his head for a long time before reacting. Then he smiled in embarrassment.

The two children immediately looked at each other and laughed out loud. After laughing, the little girl said, "Although they are all wood, there is still one thing that is different."

"Little Star, what's so different about that? Why can't I tell?" The boy's expression was dull and confused.

"Hee hee, guess, I won't tell you!" The little girl became even more pleased with herself and turned her head away, refusing to tell the boy.

The boy continued to scratch his head. He was still shaking his head, but he didn't think of it. In the end, he could only turn to the girl. "Little Star, you tell me, you tell me!"

The girl was laughing proudly. She squinted her eyes into a slit and two cute dimples appeared on her cheeks, "I won't tell you. Dumb Brother Mu, I won't tell you!"

As she spoke, she staggered to her feet and was about to run away, as if she was afraid the boy would grab her and demand an answer.

It was a pity that the girl's tiny body could not even stand steadily on the tree. She did not even look back as she was about to fall down the tree.

The breathtaking scene immediately made Gu Qingxin, who was watching it all in her dreams, sweat for the little girl and close her eyes, not daring to look.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the girl had not fallen, and had dangerously hung upside down on the tree, while her little feet were being desperately grabbed by the boy.

The girl looked at the ground that was still far away from her and finally cried out in fear, "Wah …" "I'm going to fall down. I'm afraid of pain, Brother Mu. I'm afraid of pain!"

He cried miserably as tears fell from his eyes, dripping onto the ground and nourishing the grass on the ground.

The boy used both hands to pull the girl's legs. After all, the girl was small and began to fall slowly. In the end, his legs dangerously hooked onto the tree branches. Now, both children hung upside down on the tree.
