The prince is more stable

Chapter 315: Death is hard to overcome
Zhao Xiaoqian has a lot of things to do when he comes to this world. It seems that God sent him here to give him a certain mission.

What he sees are big things, big things that determine the rise and fall of history. He dare not say it as exaggerated as the stars and the sea, but he is indeed changing the world in his own way.

Therefore, he did not have much energy and time to compete with spies from an enemy country.

Things like setting up traps for each other and intercepting intelligence seem exciting, but Zhao Xiaoqian doesn't want to let these trivial things occupy his mind.

Quick battle and quick decision, force can defeat skill.

Just do it and that's it.

Tonight's game was set up for Niao Niao. It can be said that Zhao Hao's so-called birthday banquet was also set up for Niao Niao and the intelligence organization behind her.

Without a birthday banquet, how could we invite the most beautiful courtesan in Bianjing to perform in the palace? And how could we invite the Chief of Firearms to the banquet?

The courtesan and the chief inspector of firearms appeared in the palace at the same time, and Zhao Xiaoqian didn't believe that Niao Niao would do nothing.

Even Zhao Xiaoqian had his own purpose for choosing to hold the birthday banquet at night.

It is only in the dark that bad things can be done. The darkness encourages thieves to commit crimes. How can they have the courage to do it in broad daylight?

Knowing what Niao Niao wanted, Zhao Xiaoqian tried every means to create conditions to satisfy her. He was good enough to this woman.

As expected, Niao Niao finally took the first step.

This woman really didn't give him any surprises at all.

Sitting in a shop beside the Imperial Street, it was pitch black all around and there were no lights on in the shop. Zhao Xiaoqian, Wei Jie and others waited quietly in the dark.

People kept coming in from the back door of the shop to report on the progress.

Around midnight, the latest news arrived: the birthday banquet at the palace was about to end, and the guests were leaving one after another.

Niao Niao looked weak and pitiful, and asked Han Song, the Inspector of Firearms, to give her a ride in his carriage and take her back to the brothel.

Han Song naturally agreed.

Han Song plays an important role in tonight's game. He knows Zhao Xiaoqian's plan from beginning to end. Now his main focus is to cooperate with him. He will agree to any request made by Niao Niao.

Zhao Xiaoqian wanted to laugh, but felt it was impolite.

Han Song is a eunuch.

Niao Niao actually used the beauty trap with the eunuch. How much sorrow can one have? It's like a eunuch going to a brothel...

If it weren't for cooperating with Niao Niao, Han Song would probably have slapped her hard.

This is a Sigma man, pure.

After criticizing Han Song in his heart for a long time, the subordinates of the Imperial City Bureau came to report again.

Han Song's carriage, carrying him and Niao Niao, was heading towards the Imperial Street.

Zhao Xiaoqian immediately stood up and stretched, saying, "Tell everyone to get ready to work."

…………

Late at night in the city of Bianjing, a horse-drawn carriage was slowly moving on the wide streets of the capital of the Song Dynasty.

It was very quiet all around, as if everyone had fallen asleep.

Niao Niao sat in the carriage, her mood calmer than the dark night outside.

She was quietly recalling her life, and countless scenes of her growth flashed through her mind.

In the end, she could only close her eyes in pain. The memories in her mind were all fragments of indifference and cruelty, endless study, practice, various corporal punishments, and various insults.

In her short life, there was not a single moment worth her staying in this world.

Two lines of tears flowed silently, but a smile of relief appeared on Niao Niao's face.

This world is really not worth coming back to.

Tonight might be her last time.

Outside the carriage, everything was still silent, so silent that it was a little scary. The imperial guards who usually patrolled the night were also nowhere to be seen. Only this carriage was moving slowly forward at the front and back of the street.

Finally, Niao Niao opened her eyes and heard a slight movement outside the carriage.

The sound of chaotic footsteps came from afar and the carriage stopped quietly.

With a whoosh sound, the driver was hit in the neck by an arrow and fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the man who had briefly met Niao Niao in the bamboo forest of the palace appeared again.

The man looked very excited. He saw Niao Niao and the Chief of Firearms get on the carriage with his own eyes. Then he quickly gathered his men and waited at the south end of the Imperial Street, which was the most suitable place for an ambush.

With the Firearms Supervisor in his hands, his mission would be accomplished. The secrets of Song's firearms would finally be revealed, and everything the Song possessed would be acquired by Liao. The military power between the two nations would return to a state of Liao strength and Song weakness, with Liao continuing to exert military pressure on Song. Accomplishing this mission would be such a monumental achievement that Liao wouldn't even know how to write the reward decree sent to the capital.

The man's heart was filled with excitement. The glory and wealth of his life would be decided tonight.

However, the moment he lifted the car curtain, the man's smile froze instantly.

He rubbed his eyes hard and found that it was not an illusion. He was shocked and angry. He looked out of the carriage in despair and finally gave up.

In the carriage, only Niao Niao was sitting alone, there was no one else.

The Firearms Supervisor Han Song, whom he had been thinking about, has disappeared.

The man's face turned cold in an instant. He gritted his teeth and got into the carriage. Without saying a word, he slapped Niao Niao's beautiful face hard, showing no mercy.

With a crisp sound, half of Niao Niao's face became red and swollen, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Where is Han Song?" the man asked coldly.

The corners of Niao Niao's mouth twitched, and she actually smiled at this moment. With the blood flowing from the corners of her mouth, her smile was particularly strange and charming.

"Han Song...got off the bus halfway." Niao Niao looked at the man and chuckled, "I was the one who made him get off. I told him someone was going to capture him alive, so Han Song got off the bus in a hurry and ran away."

The man was furious and raised his hand to slap her, but when he saw the determination and rebelliousness on Niao Niao's face, his heart sank and he slowly put down his hand.

Niao Niao is different tonight than usual. She is no longer submissive.

"Do you know the consequences?" the man asked with a grim face.

Niao Niao nodded: "I know, it's nothing but death."

"It seems you really don't want to live anymore. Do you think that without you, the spies we have planted in Bianjing City will be unable to operate?"

Niao Niao's smile faded as she said coldly, "It doesn't matter. I've had enough! Especially you, always beating and scolding me. I'm very happy to see you fail to complete the task."

"I'm just an orphan drifting in troubled times, born without a father or a mother, just trying to survive. What do you all talk about, about sacrificing your life for your country, about giving up your life for justice... What does all this have to do with me? Why should I endure all this?"

"I was abandoned by my parents at a young age. It's the world that owes me, not me. Why should I sacrifice my life for those high-ranking officials in the capital who live a life of drunkenness and debauchery? What do I owe this world that I have to repay it in this way?"

Niao Niao's long suppressed emotions finally erupted. At this moment, her hair was disheveled and she looked like a madman, with the last light burning in her beautiful blood-red eyes.

The man was shocked. He didn't expect that Niao Niao was so rebellious that she would retaliate fiercely at this critical moment tonight, causing his entire plan to fail.

After being shocked, the man suddenly became furious.

Now it is no longer a question of whether the mission can be completed or not. The woman in front of me has already shown rebellious intentions and must not be allowed to stay!

The man suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Niao Niao's neck fiercely, and tightened his grip.

"You want to die, so I'll grant your wish! You're asking so many questions, and I'll tell you why."

"Because you are an orphan with no one to rely on, you are destined to be a chess piece that can be sacrificed and abandoned at any time. Now, my Great Liao has given up on you, so go on your way with peace of mind!" The man said with a ferocious look on his face.

Niao Niao's face turned purple, and the feeling of suffocation made her mind extremely clear and empty.

As she was getting closer and closer to death, she suddenly smiled strangely.

The man gritted his teeth and exerted more force with his hands when he suddenly felt a slight pain in his neck. Then, he discovered that thick blood was spurting out of his neck. Only then did the pain become more and more obvious.

The man was shocked and immediately let go. He involuntarily covered his neck with his hands and looked at Niao Niao in horror.

Niao Niao's smile was particularly charming, like a poisonous snake that had just swallowed its prey. In her hand, she held a small blood-stained dagger, and her eyes became extremely gentle when she looked at the man.

"As a chess piece, should you just accept your fate?" Niao Niao leaned close to his ear and asked softly.

The man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to shout for help, but blood was gushing out from the wound on his neck, and his vocal cords could not make any sound, so his eyes gradually dimmed with despair.

Niaoniao stabbed his neck with another knife.

"I've put up with you for a long time, a truly long time... I'm a human being, not an animal to be beaten or scolded by you. Even if I'm a chess piece, haven't you heard of 'exchanging one child for another'?"

"It's a pity that I can only drag you down with me. Otherwise, I really want to go to the capital and kill those bigwigs one by one, so that they know that the chess pieces in their eyes can also turn the world upside down."

There was a hint of regret on Niao Niao's expression.

The man in front of her was dead, but she didn't feel much pleasure in revenge.

Because she was still unwilling to give in, because those who made her a pawn were still alive.

But, it is impossible to repay it.

The man was dead, but at this moment there was still a group of people surrounding the carriage.

They will soon discover that something is wrong inside, and Niao Niao will ultimately not be able to survive this fatal disaster.
