One Who Knows Too Many Secrets Cannot Be Spared
A hint of killing intent flashed in the Middle-aged Man’s eyes, but he still said, “Don’t worry, we won’t leave you behind. In your contact with Qi Shang, did you reveal anything about the Chu Prince?”
Now that Qi Shang has been captured, the Chu Prince’s plan is very likely to be exposed, but fortunately, That Person hasn’t been following the Chu Prince for long, and doesn’t know too much.
As long as there is no evidence, even if the Emperor knows the Chu Prince’s thoughts, there is nothing he can do. After all, the Chu Prince’s prestige among the Great Jin Common People is much better than Xie Jingxuan’s now.
A Man who personally killed his Brother is destined to be scorned.
Xu Changli quickly shook his head. “Don’t worry, I didn’t say anything about those things. He doesn’t know much and can’t say too much.
You just need to protect me now.
After all, I am the only one alive who participated in the Military Armaments Bureau incident back then. If the Chu Prince really wants that position, he should protect me well.
As for Wei Jinghai’s side, I also have a Back-up Plan and will definitely not disappoint the Chu Prince.”
That Liu Zixun has good Medical Skill and has a feud with Wei Jinghai. He doesn’t believe That Person won’t take action.
It’s simple for a person with great Medical Skill to kill someone. They just need to wait for good news.
The Middle-aged Man breathed a sigh of relief and patted his shoulder with a smile, saying, “In that case, I can rest assured.”
As he was speaking, someone hurried over, “It’s bad, the City Gate has been blocked, we can’t leave.”
When Xu Changli heard this, he immediately panicked and said to the Middle-aged Man, “What should we do? This Lu is acting too fast.”
He originally thought that it would take at least an hour for Lu Cijian to discover him, but he never expected it to be so fast, and he directly blocked the City Gate.
Now it will be difficult for them to escape. As long as Lu Cijian sends people to search the City, they will be found here sooner or later.
Just as Xu Changli was anxious, the Middle-aged Man behind him took out a Dagger and quickly stabbed him.
Caught off guard, the Dagger pierced directly into his heart, and blood spurted out instantly, causing him to lose his Strength and fall to the ground. He stared at the person in front of him and stammered, “Why, why are you killing me? The Chu, Chu Prince, won’t, won’t let you go.”
The Middle-aged Man sneered, squatted down, patted the face of the Man on the ground, and said coldly, “You should have died long ago. You were lucky that the Ministry of Works investigation didn’t find you.
But you must die. A person who knows too many Secret can never be left alive.”
After saying that, just as he was about to continue stabbing Xu Changli a few more times, a burst of dense footsteps sounded outside.
He thought to himself that things were bad, and without caring about Xu Changli, he quickly ran towards the House.
However, the next second, the dilapidated House door was kicked open from the outside.
Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian had just brought people in when a dozen Men appeared, wielding Weapon and attacking the Two People.
Jiang Yimian dodged the attack and saw several people running towards the west side of the Courtyard. She quickly raised her foot and chased after them.
Perhaps realizing that someone was chasing him, the Middle-aged Man directly threw several Hidden Weapons behind him and shouted, “Stop her.”
After saying that, he quickly ran towards the direction of the Enclosure Wall.
Jiang Yimian dodged the Hidden Weapons flying towards her and wanted to chase the Middle-aged Man, but suddenly three people appeared in front of her, each wielding a Long Sword and attacking her, trapping her firmly in place.
Jiang Yimian dodged the Two People in front of her while throwing several Silver Needles at the Middle-aged Man.
The Middle-aged Man felt a burst of stinging pain in his leg. He glanced at the person chasing behind him, gritted his teeth, ignored the pain from his leg, and jumped up, climbing over the Enclosure Wall and running away.
Fortunately, Wang San and a few others also noticed the Situation here and quickly chased after the Middle-aged Man.
The Three People in front of her fought with Jiang Yimian with Long Swords.
She punched one of them in the face, then reached out to restrain the wrists of the other Two People, snatched their Weapons, and kicked their knees hard.
The Three People instantly lost their ability to move and collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.
After dealing with the Three People in front of her, she saw that Lu Cijian’s side had also ended. Just as he was about to call Assistant Administrator Li to take These People away, he saw that everyone who had fallen on the ground was dead.
She frowned and turned her Line of Sight to the people in front of Lu Cijian, discovering that These People were also the same, spitting out black blood and dying from Poisoning.
Lu Cijian only said, “These People are all assassins.
It seems that the Chu Prince has spared no expense to kill General Wei this time, not only bringing his confidants, but also preparing so many assassins, and even Western Liang People.”
This Time, their return to the capital will not be peaceful.
Jiang Yimian nodded, “The Chu Prince wants General Wei’s life so much, I’m afraid it’s not just because of the Western Liang People.”
She felt that there must be another Secret hidden within.
If it was just a Cooperation reached with the Western Liang People, the Chu Prince should not have spared no expense like this.
Lu Cijian’s eyes flickered, and something flashed through his mind, but it quickly disappeared.
Jiang Yimian’s Line of Sight fell on the Corpse not far away. Before she could get close, That Person’s fingers moved and pointed to the main House not far away, saying, “Tha, there.”
As if he had used up his last Strength, after saying these words, Xu Changli’s head tilted and he completely lost his breath.
Jiang Yimian checked his pulse and looked at the fatal wound on his chest. She shook her head, “It’s already hopeless.”
That Person had Excessive Blood Loss, and the person who attacked him also used all their Strength. The wound on his chest was too serious, and it was already very difficult to stay conscious until now.
Assistant Administrator Li also hurried over after searching a few Houses and said respectfully, “Master, Jiang Girl, no Abnormal things were found in the House, and they all look like ordinary objects.
These few Residences have been in disrepair for many years and are uninhabited. I don’t know where These People come from and why they are here.”
He had been in Yuncheng Prefecture for so many years, but he had never discovered that people lived here.
Judging from the Situation in the House just now, it can be clearly seen that These People have been staying here for a long Time and did not suddenly appear.
These People planted Hidden Stake under their noses, and no one noticed, which is really hateful.
Lu Cijian didn’t speak, but walked into the main House that Xu Changli had pointed to.
Jiang Yimian followed suit.
The furnishings in the House were very ordinary. A table was placed directly facing the door, with a porcelain Guanyin statue placed on it.
The Guanyin statue was exquisitely made and stood in the center of the table, with a small Incense Burner placed in front of it, containing only half a burner of incense ash.
Jiang Yimian glanced at the Guanyin statue and shifted her Line of Sight, looking at other things in the House.
In addition to this table, there were also a few chairs on the left and right sides, and a screen. There was nothing else, making the entire main House seem a little empty.
Assistant Administrator Li saw that the Two People were looking around the House and leaned strangely against the table, saying casually, “This Guanyin statue is enshrined properly, but no one burns incense for the Guanyin Empress. This incense ash looks like it’s been there for years.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge sound rang out in the House.
