Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1473 - 1411: Find Them Out

Wufu looked at him with a calm expression, furrowing his brow, thinking, this guy, does he not care about life and death?

"Someone wants to kill you, why do you act like you’re not the target at all?" Wufu said, half laughing, half crying.

Ah Jiu replied, "Given my identity, I’m destined not to have a peaceful life. I’ve faced such killing intent countless times since I was young, how could I not be used to it by now?"

Before Wufu could respond, he continued, "But even so, who has ever succeeded? Am I not sitting here just fine?"

"Your Highness has quite the presence!" Master Gui raised his cup.

Ah Jiu also raised his cup, "Thank you, Master Gui, for the warning. I owe you."

"Master Gui, who hired the killer?" Wufu asked.

Master Gui replied, "Wind-Listening Pavilion wouldn’t take this job. As for who it is, it’s difficult to tell. Usually, they go out of their way to hide their identity. Even if you see their face, there’s no guarantee it’s their true face. If they are disguised, then..."

"Whether true or false, we’ll discern it. Please provide as much information as you can, Master Gui," Wufu said.

Master Gui took a portrait from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is all I can give. The person is likely well-trained and very alert. Our people couldn’t track him down."

Wufu took the portrait, examining it in the light, seeing an ordinary face, not particularly remarkable, but the eyes were sharp, quite at odds with the face.

As Master Gui said, it wouldn’t be surprising if this person was disguised.

Wufu passed the portrait to Ah Jiu and asked Master Gui, "From which hall was this found?"

Master Gui provided an address.

Wufu clasped his fists in thanks.

"Though Wind-Listening Pavilion gathers many assassins, there are still many solitary ones not affiliated with any organization. To my knowledge, the top-ranked Cang Xiaotian in the Nanyue Region isn’t employed by any group, although he hasn’t been seen in the Jianghu for a long time. His life or death is unknown."

"In addition, there are the second-ranked Xiao Zhen and third-ranked Xue Dizi, who are not affiliated either. The other party is willing to spend one hundred thousand taels; if those individuals can be found, perhaps they can be hired as well," Master Gui spoke of the assassins of the Jianghu.

The more Wufu listened, the deeper his frown grew.

"Xue Dizi is a Poisoned Person, it’s said that he’s been soaked in poison since birth, and even a drop of his blood is highly venomous. I don’t know if they’ll reach out to him, but such things are hard to guard against!"

Upon hearing Master Gui’s words, Ah Jiu saluted, "I appreciate your concern, Master Gui."

Master Gui smiled nonchalantly, finished his drink, and stood up, "It’s late, let’s drink here tonight. In a couple of days, let’s have a drink at Purple Yu Garden?"

"Alright!" Wufu stood up, escorting him out of the pavilion but was stopped by Master Gui, so he had Chi Wu see him out.

Returning to the pavilion, Wufu took the portrait from Ah Jiu’s hands, called Yuan Ye over, and said, "Inform Mei Er to find this person by this time at the latest tomorrow!"

Yuan Ye took it with a grim expression and withdrew.

Ah Jiu pulled Wufu into his arms, smoothing her furrowed brow, and said, "It’s a festival today, don’t frown, it’s no big deal!"

"I worry about you."

"But here I have you, my lucky star. What could possibly happen to me?" Ah Jiu wrinkled his nose, saying, "I’m starting to suspect Master Gui did it on purpose because he’s jealous of us; that’s why he shared such distressing news!"

Wufu laughed, "That’s slandering a good person’s heart!"

"You’re not allowed to frown anyway!"

Wufu, helpless, forced a smile, "Alright, alright, as you say."

No matter who it is, she will find them out and strike first!
