Chapter 400: Cooperate in Acting, Spiritual Spring Water
The system has no response, which means the person behind the scenes is not the second prince.
The system only said to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, but did not say that he must be punished immediately. If the second prince was really the real culprit behind the scenes, the system prompt should have sounded by now.
But there are so many people in the court, besides the prince, there are also factional officials. Anyone could be the possibility. Can we try them one by one?
Jiang Youzhen went to the guest room. Now he had to gamble on whether he could find the real murderer. Tonight was the key.
It was a dark and windy night. Qing Lang and his men were guarding outside the house. They did not dare to relax at all.
Suddenly, a slight sound was heard, which immediately aroused Qing Lang's vigilance.
He winked at Qingyan, and the two immediately ran into the house. However, when they got inside, they were dumbfounded. There was no one in the house, only the cloth strips that had been tied just now fell on the ground.
They looked towards the window and found that it was intact. Then they looked up and found that a hole had appeared in the roof above.
"Oh no! The person is missing, go and report to the young master!" Qing Lang was shocked.
Two shadows quickly passed over the roofs of houses and soon arrived in front of a house in the south city. The shadows jumped into the yard without hesitation and knocked on the door three times.
"You're back so late?" a deep voice sounded.
"Jiang Youzhen is quite alert and has sent many people to guard us. But with our abilities, how could we not escape?"
The person who spoke was the guard from before. He sat down leisurely and poured himself a bowl of tea.
"There's no need to send me to handle such trivial matters in the future, right? Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?" The guard snorted coldly, very dissatisfied.
The man in night clothes who followed him in also came forward and sat down. "I thought I could capture you with just that little time? If it weren't for the order from above to put on this big show, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. It's fine for me to kill people, but pretending is too tiring."
At this time, another old man who was originally guarding the room snorted coldly, "Don't underestimate Jiang Youzhen, he is very smart. The master has ordered that this matter must be done."
"She could have guessed that we were cooperating in this show to deceive her? She must be a real shrewd woman. With the token and the fact that she is on the run for fear of punishment, it would be hard for her not to believe it." The guard sneered, his face full of sarcasm.
"I don't know what the master is thinking by asking us to play with a little kid." asked the man in the night clothes.
"I heard that this was Mr. Zhong's idea. Your Highness thinks it makes sense, so it's better to nip it in the bud. We just need to complete the task and there's no need to ask other questions." The old man replied.
"We have to leave early tomorrow morning and report back, so take a rest!"
The three of them turned off the lights and went to sleep, but they didn't expect that there was a dark shadow on the roof. The dark shadow carefully put the tiles back, and then used the light body technique to leave.
The black shadow ran at lightning speed and soon ran into a dense forest.
After taking a breath, she went into the dense forest, made a big circle in it, and found that no one was following her, so she returned to Qian's house.
That's right! This black shadow is Jiang Youzhen. She was glad that her martial arts and internal strength were not very good, but her light body skills were quite good, and she had reached the point where she could walk on snow without leaving any trace.
Therefore, although those three men were highly skilled in martial arts and their internal energy was not weak, they did not discover Jiang Youzhen.
Just now Jiang Youzhen was lying on the roof, not daring to breathe, for fear of being discovered by them.
After returning to the house, Jiang Youzhen changed out of his night clothes, then lit a candle and began to think.
The three people mentioned Mr. Zhong and His Highness in their words just now.
Now things are easy. Apart from the second prince and the fourth prince, there are only the crown prince and the third prince left.
That Mr. Zhong sounded like a staff strategist or something like that. Jiang Youzhen kept the name in mind and planned to pay more attention to this person in the future, because it was Mr. Zhong who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes, and she would settle the score sooner or later.
"Could it be the third prince?" Jiang Youzhen murmured to himself, but the system did not respond.
"That's the prince?"
As soon as Jiang Youzhen finished speaking, the system prompt sounded.
[Congratulations to the host for finding out the real murderer and the mastermind behind the murder of Qian Chongen. Rewards include a 10% improvement in the host's appearance (completed within one month), the second chapter of "Sword Technique to Exorcise Evil Spirits", three years of internal strength, storage space upgraded to 120 cubic meters, and ten drops of spiritual spring water. Please keep up the good work and create more brilliance! ]
Jiang Youzhen was extremely delighted. He didn't expect that the reward for just a two-star mission would be so generous.
The two-star missions are not very difficult, and there are system loopholes that can be exploited.
She focused her attention on the ten drops of spiritual spring water. Although the other rewards were also very generous, compared to this unfamiliar reward, this one attracted her more.
She immediately clicked to check the functions of the spiritual spring water. After reading the introduction, a smile appeared on her face again.
The function of this spiritual spring water is very powerful and is effective for humans, animals and plants.
This spiritual spring water has the function of cleansing the tendons and marrow and curing all diseases, of course! You have to look at the amount.
She currently only has ten drops, and if she wants to completely remove the impurities in her body, she will probably need dozens or even hundreds of drops.
However, the first person she thought of was Qian Chongen. However, if she wanted to treat Qian Chongen until he recovered, the amount needed would be quite a lot, at least dozens of drops.
But no matter what, she will give it to Qian Chongen first, after all, the patient can't wait.
This was an unexpected gain. Jiang Youzhen couldn't redeem the brain-clearing pills without attribute points. Now that he had the spiritual spring water, it was like a pillow when he was sleepy.
Thinking of the attribute points, Jiang Youzhen immediately checked his attribute information and found that the attribute points were still 0.
"System, I don't get any attribute points for completing the task this time?" Jiang Youzhen was very puzzled. It was already a two-star task, so it was impossible that there were no attribute points, right?
[My dear host, have you forgotten the attribute points you owed this system? You got a total of 20 attribute points in this mission, but the system deducted them directly! Now you still owe the system 48 points, please keep working hard! ]
"I didn't even see it, and you just deducted it? On what basis?" Jiang Youzhen was speechless. Should he at least let her know?
"And a two-star mission only gives you 20 attribute points? Isn't that a bit too stingy?"
[Host, many of your previous missions only gave you a few attribute points, but this is not a small amount! When the difficulty of future star-level missions increases, the attribute points will also increase exponentially. In addition, didn’t you confirm that the system automatically deducted the points before? ]
Jiang Youzhen felt that this system was a profiteer. "When did I confirm it?"
[When you confirmed the task permission that day, didn't you read the small words below carefully? ]
Jiang Youzhen: Haha! It turns out that this system is full of traps. I have to be careful in the future.
"Young Master! You're back?" At this time, Qing Lang and the others saw the light in the room and hurried in.
"Master! According to your instructions, we are just pretending to chase them. They won't get suspicious, right?" Qingyan was still a little worried.
