Zhao Quan was ready to give up the mission and expose himself, but this matter could not be leaked, especially the people in Mingyue Tower could not notice the clues, otherwise it would be difficult to leave.
Therefore, when people from the capital conveyed Lord Shenjun's message to Zhao Quanyou, he still maintained the same attitude as before, promising to complete the task as soon as possible.
And now, more than half of the half-month period that Zhao Quanyou set for himself has passed.
The next day is the thirteenth day of the half-month period.
During breakfast, Zhao Quanyou keenly noticed the burn on his daughter's finger, but she concealed it on the excuse that the black smoke from the charcoal pot for heating last night was too choking, and she wanted to change her position but was accidentally burned.
.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Since his wife's death, for Zhao Quanyou, his daughter Zhao Yue'er has become his only heartache, and he has never been willing to let his daughter suffer any injustice.
Therefore, after learning that his daughter was burned by a charcoal pot, he immediately thought of the coal stove that had been widely spread in Yanque Pass in the past two days. It is said that the coal stove can transfer the uncomfortable black smoke to the outside of the house.
Affects the warmth inside the house.
The principle of the coal stove is very simple, and its manufacturing method has been spread for a long time. He can no longer stay in this inn for a few days, so Zhao Quanyou originally wanted to build a coal stove after he left Yanque Pass and stabilized, but after watching
When her daughter was burned, she couldn't help it anymore.
Although the coal stove was too big to be taken with him when he left, Zhao Quan had a big family and didn't care about the money. He simply went to build one today so that his daughter could have a good night's sleep in the past two days.
He did what he thought of, and after breakfast, Zhao Quanyou left the inn.
When it comes to preparing for his daughter, it is natural to prepare the best, and the five most skilled blacksmiths in Yanque Pass happen to be the inventors of coal stoves, so these five blacksmith shops have become Zhao Quanyou's first choice.
The one closest to the inn is the blacksmith shop known as Lao Wang among the five blacksmiths.
As the inventor of the coal stove and one of the most skilled blacksmiths in Yanque Pass, Lao Wang's orders for coal stoves are naturally extremely popular and it is one of the busiest blacksmith shops in Yanque Pass.
But these are nothing to Zhao Quanyou. As long as you pay enough, you can get the goods in advance even if you order late.
Sure enough, when he took out a bag of silver, the coal stove that Lao Wang had just built became his property.
Zhao Quanyou asked the following men to carry the coal stove back to the inn, and then installed it in Zhao Yue'er's room.
When installing the coal stove, it was necessary to drill a hole in the wall of the room and extend the chimney from the hole into the room. However, the innkeeper had no intention of stopping it and enthusiastically fetched the tools.
As the owner of the store that welcomed the guests, he saw clearly that the owner named Zhao would definitely not be able to take the coal stove with him when he left. In other words, when this wave of customers left, he would get it without spending any money.
A coal stove.
Although the cost of building a coal stove is not high, why would the boss not do it if he got it for free?
The one who was even happier was undoubtedly Zhao Yue'er. Although she was burned by the chimney of the coal stove last night, she still felt envious after seeing the coal stove in Di Xin's study.
Now that Zhao Quan has bought her a coal stove, she even feels better because she is about to leave Di Xin, the only friend who can reveal her true character.
When there were only two people left in the room, Zhao Yue'er watched the coal stove being lit by her father, happily grabbed his arm and shook it back and forth, and kept saying: "Dad, you are the best, Yue'er likes it the most
Daddy."
Enjoying his daughter's coquettishness, Zhao Quanyou looked at the smile on his daughter's face and laughed.
For him, as long as his daughter is happy, everything is enough.
…
After the warm time between father and daughter, Zhao Quanyou let his daughter play alone first, and then left the inn again.
The destination this time is the General's Mansion.
This is where Zhao Quanyou is smart. He obviously wanted to give up on this mission, but he didn't show any abnormality, didn't become perfunctory, and didn't be too deliberate.
Whether it's behavior or anything else, it's as normal as before.
Today happened to be the time when he should visit King Yu, and it was also his last visit before leaving Yanque Pass.
This time, because he had already prepared to give up the mission, Zhao Quanyou was more relaxed than before. He did not even think about instigating the relationship between Wang Yu and Zeng Hongshen, nor did he deliberately create opportunities to do it.
.
However, the opportunity came suddenly.
Such drama.
When Zhao Quanyou arrived at the pavilion in the backyard of the General's Mansion and Laifu, who was in charge of leading the way, retreated, he suddenly discovered that there were only two people left on the scene.
Apart from him, there was only Di Xin sitting in the pavilion with his back to him.
The innate great master Zeng Hongshen was not around, and there was no one else nearby. This was the opportunity that Zhao Quanyou had dreamed of taking action.
However, at this moment, he was a little hesitant.
It wasn't because of the relationship that developed during these days. He had killed all the targets he had been with for half a year; nor was it because of King Yu's title of "Wise King". Since he was a killer, he was naturally not a kind person.
The reason why he didn't dare to take action was because it was too coincidental.
Although he told no one about abandoning the mission, and only his daughter knew about leaving Yanque Pass, but just when he had planned to visit Prince Yu for the last time, the opportunity he had planned for a long time suddenly appeared.
Coincidence can hardly be described as coincidence anymore.
It is true that by killing Prince Yu now, he is indeed very confident that he will leave the general's mansion before Zeng Hongshen arrives, and then leave Yanque Pass with his daughter.
After the mission is completed, he can also return to the capital and continue to be his restaurant owner. This is the best ending for him.
But since he prayed to God countless times, but his wife still passed away, Zhao Quanyou no longer believed that such a good thing would happen to him for no reason.
And every assassination he carried out was the result of his careful planning, without any coincidence or luck.
As if the trust he had gained in front of Prince Yu a few days ago was gone, his assassin did not even take a step closer to the pavilion. Instead, he stood there with his hands raised and said: "The villain Zhao Quanyou has met His Highness Prince Yu."
Di Xin did not turn around, still facing Zhao Quanyou, but his voice came from the pavilion.
"Mr. Zhao, why are you standing so far away and not entering the pavilion?"
"Is it unwillingness? Or..."
"...don't you dare?"
The tone of his speech was very relaxed, even mixed with a slight smile, but Zhao Quanyou's vigilance was raised to the highest level.
