"Is he really the Great Protector of the Secret Heaven Division?"
Lin Jiangnian took a closer look and saw only a strange face.
Very few people have seen the true face of this great protector, not even Chen Changqing has the chance.
Lin Jiangnian expressed doubts about this.
"Forget it if you don't believe me."
Liu Su had no expression on her face.
"Of course I believe you!"
Lin Jiangnian naturally didn't suspect that Liu Su would lie to him, but he felt a little surprised. He always felt that all this happened too easily?
This great guardian of the Secret Heaven Division, such a powerful person, was killed so easily?!
According to Lin Jiangnian's previous plan, killing this great protector would require long-term planning and would probably take a lot of effort.
Now that he had killed this man so easily, Lin Jiangnian didn't even feel any involvement. The death of this great protector had almost nothing to do with him!
Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but sigh, he's a gigolo again!
But it smells good!
…
"That's right."
Lin Jiangnian turned his head and was about to say something when he heard Liu Su suddenly speak softly.
"Let's go back, I'm tired!"
Lin Jiangnian was startled and heard that Liu Su's voice was a little weak. He looked up and saw that Liu Su took a step, but his feet suddenly went soft, his body became unstable, and he staggered.
"careful!"
Lin Jiangnian hurriedly supported her and looked down, only then did he see that Liu Su's face was pale and her whole body looked indescribably weak.
It was visibly evident that her face was full of fatigue.
Immediately realizing something, Lin Jiangnian grabbed Liu Su's hand and placed it on her pulse. As soon as he touched it, he noticed something was wrong!
really!
Lin Jiangnian understood instantly!
This woman is showing off again!
Even though her internal energy was severely depleted, she still held on. Although she was not injured, her forced killing of Zhao Changyuan tonight would still cause some damage to her body.
Realizing this, Lin Jiangnian sighed and said, "You still say you're fine? Look at you now..."
Liu Su seemed to want to say something, to defend herself, but she was very tired and could no longer speak.
Being held in Lin Jiangnian's arms, she felt an indescribable comfort all over her body. The hot breath from Lin Jiangnian's body drove away the cold wind on her body.
It was so warm that she couldn't help but close her eyes comfortably.
Very comfortable!
Very relaxing!
At this moment, she thought it would be nice to just sleep like this...
Liu Su was feeling tired and sleepy. She rested her head in Lin Jiangnian's arms and fell into a sleepy state.
Looking down at Liu Su, who had fainted in his arms, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but feel distressed. He couldn't bring himself to blame her, because after all, everything Liu Su had done was for him.
For some reason, I feel like I owe her a lot more.
Sighing, Lin Jiangnian took off his coat, wrapped it around Liu Su, picked her up by the waist, and turned around.
"Your Highness!"
Not far away, several dark shadows quickly appeared.
"Clean up the scene and evacuate before dawn. Don't leave any traces!"
"yes!"
"besides……"
Lin Jiangnian paused, glanced at Zhao Changyuan's corpse not far away, and said, "Send the body back to the capital and throw it outside the city. The more conspicuous the better!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness."
After giving the order, Lin Jiangnian turned around, hugged Liu Su, mounted his horse, and rode away.
Behind him, several dark shadows quickly carried out intensive cleanup operations.
After dawn, everything that happened last night will be quietly erased.
As if nothing had happened!
…
early morning.
It was dawn.
The people living in the outer city of the capital, near the city gate, were still asleep when they were awakened by bursts of hurried footsteps.
"What happened?!"
The people who were still sleeping didn't know what was happening. They panicked, got up, dressed, and opened the door. They saw on the gray street ahead, a row of figures wearing black robes, with swords on their waists and solemn expressions, hurriedly walking towards the city gate.
This scene caused a lot of discussion and pointing by people.
"Aren't these people from Mi Tiansi? Where are they going?"
"Who knows? Why are they all in such a hurry? Did something big happen outside the city?"
"Could it be that the situation in the capital is about to change?!"
“…”
Outside the capital.
The official road, which was originally empty, has been blocked off since this morning.
Countless fully armed city defense soldiers blocked the surroundings tightly, and the official roads were densely populated with countless figures of the Mi Tiansi.
The atmosphere is solemn.
There was a hint of silence, as well as an indescribable confusion and fear on everyone's face!
Something big happened!
Just a few hours ago, an old farmer outside the city found a body abandoned on the roadside on the official road outside the city. The frightened old farmer hurriedly reported to the police.
When the government officials arrived, they initially thought it was just an ordinary murder case, but when they saw the clothes on the body, the government officials' faces immediately changed.
Although the clothes on the corpse were tattered, one could still tell at a glance...that this was the official uniform of the Mi Tiansi!
For a moment, the government detectives panicked and hurried to report to their superiors.
Someone from Mi Tiansi died again?!
A few days ago, I heard that a constable from the Mi Tiansi was assassinated and the murderer has not been caught yet.
During this period, the Secret Heaven Division had nearly overturned the entire capital, causing panic among the people. Now, before the matter was over, another member of the Secret Heaven Division had been killed!
The matter was too serious for the government to intervene. The news spread like wildfire back to the Secret Heaven Division. When the Secret Heaven Division officials arrived, their faces were filled with fear.
Things are much more serious than imagined!
The people of Mi Tiansi were horrified to find that the dead person... was their great protector!
…
When Chen Changqing hurriedly arrived, the area outside the city had already been blocked, and even the old farmer who first discovered the body had been taken under control.
"The leader!"
A path was opened in the crowd, and many people looked solemn. When Chen Changqing appeared, everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had grabbed the last straw.
Chen Changqing walked over quickly with an expressionless face.
Just ahead on the official road, there was a dead body lying on the ground. The body was casually thrown on the side of the road, but no one dared to touch it.
Chen Changqing's breathing became slightly heavier, his entire body tense, and he approached with lighter steps. When he saw the familiar robe and figure, his heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, he suddenly became very nervous, so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.
He walked slowly closer, squatted down, lowered his head, stretched out a hand with a slight trembling, and turned the corpse over.
Soon, the face of a middle-aged man in his forties appeared in his sight.
It was an extremely ordinary face, pale, stiff, frozen solid, without a trace of life.
Very ordinary, very common!
But Chen Changqing's heart suddenly twitched!
Almost stopped breathing!
It's him!
Although Chen Changqing had only met the Great Protector a few times, he had already memorized his appearance...
It’s him!
Chen Changqing was determined!
Really, dead?!
In an instant, countless thoughts flooded into Chen Changqing's mind. He stood there in a daze, as if he were dreaming!
It had only been a few days, and the two most powerful and influential guardians of their Mi Tiansi had died just like that?
Died silently!
Death is calm!
Damn...good!
A vague thought flashed through Chen Changqing's mind, and the next second, an unconcealable feeling of joy rose from his heart.
I can't restrain myself at all!
Dead!
Really dead?!
Mi Tiansi, the two guardians who posed the greatest threat to him are dead!
So……
At this moment, Chen Changqing's eyes were dark, deep, and cold. His aura also changed subtly.
From then on, no one in the Secret Department could tell him what to do!
Thinking of this, Chen Changqing suppressed his excitement. He stood up expressionlessly and turned to look to the side: "What's going on? What happened last night?!"
At this moment, all the masters of the Secret Heaven Division were feeling uneasy. One of them stepped forward and explained in a deep voice, "Someone reported the crime this morning... When our people arrived, they discovered it..."
"Judging from the traces at the scene, this isn't the original crime scene... The Great Protector was probably murdered somewhere else and his body dumped here..."
When it comes to this, many people feel a chill in their hearts, and they all feel a fear of being killed by their own teeth.
Their great protector is dead!
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Secret Heaven Division! The loss of two guardians in a row during this period was a heavy loss, enough to make the Secret Heaven Division unable to recover!
More importantly, their great protector has unfathomable martial arts skills and is already one of the top masters in the world.
But he was still killed!
How could this not frighten the other masters of the Secret Heaven Division?
Will the person behind this attack them next time?!
Next time, who will it be?!
Chen Changqing's face was expressionless, his gaze sweeping across the faces of everyone present. He knew that everyone was in a state of panic. The more panicked they were, the more they couldn't let things get out of hand.
"What happened today must be kept secret, no news of it can be leaked!"
Chen Changqing said coldly: "I will report the matter of the Secret Heaven Division to the Protector Ming and His Majesty and Lord Chen, and ask the court to send experts to support and assist. We will thoroughly investigate this matter and will find the murderer and avenge the two Protectors!"
"Please be patient, everyone. This is the most difficult time for our Secret Heaven Division. But don't panic, we are the emperor's private guards and have the emperor's protection. Anyone who dares to kill our Secret Heaven Division is committing treason!"
"Those who plot treason will be killed without mercy!"
Chen Changqing's cold words quickly stirred up the frustration that had been suppressed for a long time in the hearts of many people present!
yes!
They are the secret guards of the emperor, and the emperor is behind them!
Killing them is treason!
Treason means the whole clan will be arrested!
"Don't worry, Chief. We will keep our mouths shut! Now that the guardian is away, I am willing to obey your orders and serve you at your service!"
I don’t know who in the crowd shouted, there was silence for a moment, and soon others rushed to respond!
"I am also willing to obey the orders of the leader!"
"I am willing too!"
"I have been wandering for half my life... If the leader does not abandon me, I am willing to serve as your disciple..."
“…”
The consecutive deaths of two guardians had frightened many people. It also made some people realize that things were about to change within the Secret Heaven Division!
Many people suddenly realized that the leader who had always been suppressed by the guardians in the past had now become the only person they could rely on. Without the guardians' suppression, this leader in name only of the Secret Heaven Division was likely to become the actual leader in the near future...
Those in power!
…
Outside the capital.
In a farm, in a residential house.
In the simple, clean and dim room, Liu Su slowly opened her eyes.
"Um?"
Where is this?!
The moment he opened his eyes, he was met with an unfamiliar environment. His instinctive alertness made Liu Su suddenly sit up and look around.
There was a hint of cold vigilance in his eyes!
In the dim room, she was lying on a simple bed.
There is no one around!
She, where is this?!
The moment I woke up, the memories in my mind gradually came to my mind.
What happened last night...
Liu Su's last memory was after she killed Zhao Changyuan. Her internal energy was severely depleted, her body was weak, and she fell unconscious in Lin Jiangnian's arms...
Thinking of this, Liu Su's originally anxious heart relaxed slightly.
So, where is this?
Where did he bring her?!
Liu Su lowered her head and saw that her clothes were neatly dressed. When she just woke up, she felt weak all over and had an indescribable soreness.
Very weak!
The last time I had this feeling was when I assassinated Lin Hengzhong in Prince Lin’s Mansion.
She wasn't injured in the killing of Zhao Changyuan, but it had cost her a considerable price. The damage was too great, and it would take some time to recover.
After lying on the bed in a daze for a while, just as Liu Su was about to get up, the door was pushed open.
"woke up?"
A familiar and gentle voice came, Liu Su raised her eyes, and Lin Jiangnian appeared at the door, walking in with something in his hand.
Lin Jiangnian walked to the bedside and asked with concern: "How do you feel? Are you feeling well?"
Liu Su didn't say anything, looked up at him and shook her head slightly.
Then, he glanced outside the door: "Where is this?"
"A residence outside the city!"
Lin Jiangnian explained, "It was too late last night. I didn't have time to go back to the city, and I couldn't find an inn, so I just found a random house to stay in..."
Lin Jiangnian's explanation was brief, and of course the process was simple.
As for why he was able to find a place to stay so easily, there was a reason for that… Last night in the middle of the night, Lin Jiangnian knocked on the door of this resident. Being woken up in the middle of the night, the resident was furious and angrily opened the door to curse.
Then, Lin Jiangnian took out an ingot of silver!
The other party immediately came to his senses, the curse stuck in his throat. His attitude changed instantly, he smiled, hurriedly packed up his things and started to flatter enthusiastically!
…
Lin Jiangnian specially checked Liu Su's body and confirmed that she was just a little weak and had no other problems. Only then did he feel relieved.
"Are you hungry?"
Lin Jiang said in a young voice: "I cooked some porridge, would you like some?"
Liu Su was stunned for a moment, glanced at the bowl in Lin Jiangnian's hand, then raised her eyes and stared at his face for a while. She was silent for a moment and said, "I have no appetite."
"Okay, let's drink later."
Lin Jiangnian put the porridge aside, sat next to Liu Su and looked at her.
Liu Su also looked at him, and their eyes met. There was silence for a moment.
"I have something to tell you."
Lin Jiangnian suddenly spoke, his expression slightly serious.
Liu Su seemed to realize something and looked away slightly. There seemed to be a hint of emotion on her cold face.
She spoke lightly.
"I don't want to hear it."
“…”
