Could it be that the transaction letter sent out today was also intercepted? Did it fall into her hands?
Xiao Lingyue looked at the middle-aged man: "It seems that I don't need to say more, just tell me honestly! What does this letter mean?"
"This..." the middle-aged man hesitated, his eyes flickering.
"Jia San is dead, Jia Si was captured alive, and now there are government officials outside Li's house. There is only one dead man in your caravan who knows martial arts, and he can't escape even if he has wings!"
Xiao Lingyue said sarcastically: "Don't expect the adult behind you to come to your rescue. Why does he hide behind the scenes and dare not come forward, but allows you to risk your life and come forward to negotiate the deal in person? Isn't this clearly treating you as a gun?
?
The transaction was successful, and the credit before His Highness belongs to him.
If the transaction fails, you are the discarded pawns!
Would a high-ranking man risk his appearance for the sake of chess pieces? What’s more, the caravan is obviously full of ordinary people, so why did you adults deliberately insert dead soldiers?
That's for keeping an eye on you!
Do you really think that these dead soldiers are here to protect your safety?
idiot!
That’s for killing people and silencing them at critical moments!”
"..."
The middle-aged man's face became paler the more he listened, his rich face was covered with cold sweat, and he was trembling.
He knew that Xiao Lingyue was right.
There are some things that you don’t usually think about in detail, but when you think about them, they make people’s hair stand on end.
"By the way, let me tell you one more thing."
Xiao Lingyue raised the corners of her lips and revealed a cruel smile: "You have revealed things that should not be revealed. Even if I don't kill you, do you really think you can leave Northern Qin alive?"
The middle-aged man's expression changed and he said excitedly: "I didn't reveal it, you knew it yourself!"
To be precise, the middle-aged man did not disclose any important information.
Because he himself doesn't know much.
It's a pity that he was unlucky and bumped into Xiao Lingyue.
Xiao Lingyue herself knew a lot, and combined with the information at hand, through guesswork, coaxing and deception, the middle-aged man unknowingly revealed everything he knew.
"If you say you don't have it, who would believe it?"
Xiao Lingyue said coolly: "I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go. Isn't that the consistent style of the master behind you?"
The middle-aged man was speechless: "..."
He was angry, panicked and scared: "What on earth do you want?!"
Xiao Lingyue said: "Don't you want to die? I will show you a way to survive."
The middle-aged man lost his voice: "What..."
"Cooperate with me." Xiao Lingyue said firmly, "I will protect you from death!"
Middle-aged man: "..."
...
A quarter of an hour later.
Xiao Lingyue, wearing a cloak and hood, opened the door and walked out of the main room.
She closed the door with her backhand and walked out of the guest house before the sky fully lit up. She ordered the guard at the door: "My lord has an order. No one is allowed to come in and disturb you for the next two days. The food will be delivered to the door and he will pick it up."
"Yes." The guard agreed, then hesitated and said, "Then Mr. Yan..."
"The same goes for Mr. Yan!" Xiao Lingyue's lips curled up slightly and she wrote lightly, "If you have any questions, let him stand at the door and ask. Your Excellency will answer."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the guard completely gave up his suspicion.
