Chapter 199 Analysis
They also arranged for people to meet them at a designated location, and they would eventually escape by boat.
Upon receiving this information, Lord Xu immediately dispatched men to investigate the assassin's described route.
However, the assassin had already fled, and only a few discarded night clothes were found in the wilderness.
Of such a large group of assassins, only three have been captured alive, a result that is clearly unsatisfactory.
They also examined the assassins who died at the scene, and as expected, they were not only masked, but each of them was also wearing a fake face mask.
Underneath their night-clothes, these assassins were all dressed in the everyday clothes of ordinary people.
The confessing assassin also stated that they did not know the leader, nor did they know their final hiding place.
Many of the people who were acting together this time did not know each other. They were all Miao Jiang assassins scattered in various places, who gathered together after receiving orders.
There is also a fixed rule among them: if they are still alive after a mission is completed or fails, they will go their separate ways until they receive the next mission, at which point they will reunite.
All their communication is transmitted through Gu worms. Those of lower ranks can only receive instructions from their superiors and cannot issue their own.
Furthermore, if a mission fails, the personnel involved will not receive any new instructions for the next year.
They would then disappear into the countryside and live the same lives as ordinary people.
This is to prevent the enemy from using those who failed to escape. After they are captured, some individuals will inevitably confess some information due to torture, which can then be traced back to headquarters.
When Xiao Han saw the mention of the acrobatic troupe in the letter, he suddenly recalled the scene when he went out to play with Long Chuqing.
He remembered that he and Chu Qing had gone to see the acrobatic troupe's performance that day, and Chu Qing had even given them a tip.
The man who came with the gong to ask for a reward glanced at Chu Qing and Chu Qing a few times after receiving the reward money from Chu Qing.
Looking back now, the man's eyes, which were originally calm, still held a sharp glint when he looked at him.
When he tried to observe the man further, the man quickly lowered his eyes and turned to walk into the bustling crowd beside him.
Looking back now, it's likely that these people were already secretly watching his every move back then.
The assassin chose to ambush on the official road, taking advantage of the open terrain to facilitate his escape.
If the ringleaders weren't caught in time, it will probably be even harder to catch them in the future!
After reading the letter, Xiao Han turned to Long Chuqing and asked, "Chuqing, do you remember the circus performance we went to see together before?"
After hearing Xiao Han's shout, Long Chu turned to look at him, "A circus troupe?"
She thought for a moment, quickly recalling memories of the acrobatic troupe, and then replied, "I remember! What's wrong? It was just a few days ago!"
"That acrobatic troupe could very well be the same group that assassinated me on the official road in disguise."
Upon hearing this, both Long Chuqing and Qing Tong Qingyang, who was standing to the side, showed expressions of surprise.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Han handed the letter in his hand to Qing Tong, who quickly reached out to take it and unfolded the letter to read it. Qing Yang also came over to check it with him.
Although Long Chuqing was surprised for a moment, she quickly realized that this kind of thing was not unusual, since she knew quite a few similar plots, both in stories and in real life.
After reading the contents of the letter, Qing Tong pursed his lips and shook his head helplessly. "These people are really troublesome!"
He walked to the table and handed the letter to Long Chuqing.
Long Chuqing took the letter and quickly read its contents.
Qing Tong couldn't help but exclaim, "So that's how it is. These people usually live hidden among the common people, just like ordinary folks. No wonder they were able to sneak into the city without anyone noticing."
Long Chuqing nodded thoughtfully: "However, their operation failed this time. I wonder if they will launch another assassination attempt against you with even more meticulous planning next time. If that happens, then it will really never end!"
Xiao Han stared at the oil-paper umbrella above his head, his ten fingers interlaced and tapping rhythmically in front of him as he carefully considered the ins and outs of the whole matter.
He calmly analyzed, "There's no need to worry too much about that. They've already lost a lot of manpower during the previous rescue of Danzhu."
"Furthermore, with the loss of many Deadpools this time, their superiors are unlikely to send large numbers of people to risk their lives again."
"If I'm not mistaken, this operation was likely won by some people who used their own interests as leverage, and those who died in the operation were used as pawns."
At this point, Xiao Han recalled the man who had looked at him with such resentment that day!
"On the day of the assassination attempt, there was a man with fierce eyes and resentment in his gaze. He had been trying to kill me. I think it must have been him!"
"Their leaders wouldn't keep sacrificing their carefully trained people for a dead saintess. If they continue to oppose the court, they'll never have a peaceful life."
After listening to Xiao Han's analysis, Qing Yang stroked his chin and nodded slightly: "I think Your Highness's analysis makes sense. These organizations need to spend a lot of time and money to train a dead servant."
After hearing this, Qing Tong agreed, "That's right. Moreover, the one who has a grudge against the prince this time is Ren Danzhu. Anyone with a brain wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke us repeatedly at this time."
"Your analysis is all correct." After listening to their analysis, Long Chu nodded in agreement.
However, she also noticed the fierce-looking man in Xiao Han's previous words, and she was quite curious about him.
She glanced down at the paper in front of her and the brush in her hand, and suddenly had an idea. She turned her gaze to Xiao Han, who was lying to the side: "Xiao Han, describe to me in detail the characteristics of that fierce man's eyes."
Upon hearing Long Chuqing's request, Xiao Han turned to look at her in surprise. Just as he was wondering why Chuqing wanted him to describe the man's features, he saw that she had already picked up a blank piece of paper and placed it in front of him.
Seeing this, he instantly understood Long Chuqing's intention.
He carefully recalled the scene, then slowly began to describe the man's eyes and physical features one by one.
While listening intently to Xiao Han's description, Long Chuqing quickly wrote on the paper with her brush.
