In the flash of lightning, a sharp blade penetrated the assassin's body.

At the same time, Zheng Kun's body was dragged three feet behind.

Zheng Kun was shocked and sweated coldly. The guards outside the door heard the movement and pushed the door to check.

Two black shadows disappeared behind the screen.

The two of them were Luan Chong, the chief guard of Bo’s mansion, and one of his guards.

The guards saw the corpse pierced by a sword on the ground and the embarrassed Zheng Kun who had just come back from his fear, and hurriedly said, "Subs are dereliction of duty! Please punish me!"

"Drag him down and put it in place, and then secretly ask the coroner to check it out!"

Zheng Kun sorted out his clothes, sat back and said after sitting back several times.

"yes!"

Two guards dragged the assassin's body out.

The one-eyed dragon lurking in the dark and the phantom swordsman Jiang Ci secretly thanked that they did not take action rashly. The two looked at each other and then returned to the inn.

They knew they could not start at Zheng Kun's residence, so they decided to secretly kill him on his way back to the imperial city. After all, the journey was long and there might be an opportunity.

Zhao Qi from the Imperial City received a letter from Fei Ge and learned that Zheng Kun was protected by a master. The unidentified thief who went to assassinate had been shot dead. He couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that I am not the only one who wants his life."

Bo Langjun naturally received a tip from the hidden guard Luan Chong: an assassin was killed by poisoning, and a master in the sword came to assassinate him. The fact that Bo Langjun almost succeeded made him secretly shocked. He knew deeply that Zheng Kun must be extremely dangerous on his way back to Beijing.

"Luo Xiaoniang! Don't let me down!" Bo Langjun stood in front of the window, muttering to himself as he looked at the floating clouds in the sky.

Luo Jiaojiao and her party arrived at Pingcheng. Luo Jiaojiao saw the familiar street scene and her eyes became wet.

Once upon a time, their family was happily shopping in the street market; every 15th day of the first lunar month, the whole family came out to watch the lanterns together...

Things change, and now she is the only one left. The dazzling array of gadgets on the street can no longer attract her.

Before he knew it, Eunuch Xu's carriage stopped outside Zheng Kun's apartment.

Zheng Kun came out to answer the order with a tired look on his face. He has really been unable to rest in the past two days, so it would be great if he could save his life!

"Zheng Kun receives the order!"

Eunuch Xu began to read the imperial edict in public. Zheng Kun and his followers and guards knelt down to receive the imperial edict.

Only then did Zheng Kun know the reason for his assassination. For a moment, he thought about staying in Dai Kingdom and not going to Beijing to serve!

"Zheng Kun! Haven't you accepted the order to thank me?"

Seeing that Zheng Kun had been reluctant to receive the imperial edict, Eunuch Xu was puzzled and urged him to say.

"Thank you, the emperor!"

Zheng Kun finally received the imperial edict and thanked the holy grace.

He knew that the emperor traveled thousands of miles to transfer him to the imperial city to serve, and it must have been carefully considered. The emperor needed him, so how could he let down the will of the holy people because he was greedy for life and fear of death?

"You are here with me to protect the Zheng Shi Censor Zheng who is about to take office! Therefore, everyone should guard the front and back doors, and no one else is allowed to approach Zheng Shi Censor Zheng's residence!"

Eye Xu ordered the guards who came with him.

"yes!"

The guards were happy to accept the order without any complaints. Because before they came, they had been told that their mission was to protect the Zheng Shi Censor in front of them!

"Eunuch Xu! Luo Xiaoniang and this brother! Please!"

Zheng Kun invited everyone to sit in his apartment.

"My house is not big, with only two rooms. I will ask three generals to spend one night. After I hand over my official duties, I will set off with you tomorrow!"

"Just that's it!"

When Eunuch Xu saw the shabby appearance of Zheng Kun’s residence, he knew that he must be an honest official! What else could he say?

Luo Jiaojiao took the excuse to go to the market to buy vegetables and left Zheng Kun's residence.

Qin He always remembered Bo Langjun's instructions to protect Zheng Kun, so he did not go with Luo Jiaojiao.

Luo Jiaojiao went to the market to buy incense paper money, and then rode a horse to Daijun Mountain.

With a heavy heart, she went to the cemetery of her father, sister and nephew to worship.

Just as Luo Jiaojiao was immersed in sadness, a group of black-clothed assassins approached quietly!

"Beware!"

Luo Jiaojiao suddenly came to her senses after being exclaimed. She felt a gust of wind coming from behind her, so she quickly lifted the paper ash in the brazier and the copper basin behind her, and the person had already rushed to the back of the tomb.

Only then did she see clearly that a group of masked men in black behind her were coming to slash with swords.

"Cheng Xiao?"

A young man with a strong body and a thick beard is blocking the killers.

Luo Jiaojiao could vaguely recognize that this person was Cheng Xiao, the slave of the Luo family.

Cheng Xiao and Jiang Yu buried the coffins of Luo Tianer and his son in Daijun Mountain. He moved Luo Yi's tomb here.

Since then, Cheng Xiao has been staying in Daijun Mountain and refused to leave.

When Luo Jiaojiao came to worship her father and her sister, Cheng Xiao drank and watched her from a tree not far away.

When the group of assassins quietly approached behind Luo Jiaojiao, he promptly reminded her, allowing her to avoid the blade that was secretly slashing at her.

Luo Jiaojiao's kung fu has increased significantly. Although there are many assassins, they are not her and Cheng Xiao's opponents. In the end, they left two corpses and were defeated in a hurry.

"Who wants to kill you?"

Cheng Xiao wiped the blood stains on the sword and asked Luo Jiaojiao.

Luo Jiaojiao looked at the corpse on the ground with a blank look on her face and shook her head.

Cheng Xiao inspected the two bodies and found no marks.

Cheng Xiao dragged the two men to a distance and buried them.

Luo Jiaojiao asked him in confusion why he buried them?

Cheng Xiao said that maybe they might be evidence in the future!

Luo Jiaojiao nodded after hearing this. She asked Cheng Xiao to accompany her to protect Zheng Kun to the imperial city.

Although Cheng Xiao was unwilling to leave Luo Tianer's cemetery, when he saw so many people coming to assassinate Luo Jiaojiao, he thought that the person Luo Tianer loved the most during his lifetime was her. So he agreed to go back with Luo Jiaojiao.

When Qin He saw Luo Jiaojiao come back from buying vegetables, he was wearing a sloppy man with a beard on his face, and he couldn't help but ask who he was curiously?

"My slave, Cheng Xiao!"

Luo Jiaojiao delivered the dishes to the kitchen and saw Zheng Kun busy in the kitchen!

"He is such a rare official!"

Eunuch Xu sat in the yard and sighed to Luo Jiaojiao who had just walked out.

"This is the real honest official!"

Luo Jiaojiao suddenly remembered her father Luo Yi.

"Don't move! If you move again or not, I'll cut your throat!"

Qin He's fierce voice came from the bathroom.

"Don't bully Cheng Xiao!"

Luo Jiaojiao said and ran to the bathroom.

"Girl! They are taking a bath!"

Eunuch Xu hurriedly shouted at Luo Jiaojiao.

Luo Jiaojiao had already rushed to the door of the bathroom. She stopped after hearing Eunuch Xu's words.

If it weren't for the reminder of Eunuch Xu, she would have rushed in! Luo Jiaojiao felt embarrassed when she thought about it, and her face couldn't help but feel a fever.

The guards had already placed the food prepared by Zheng Kun on two tables in the yard.

Eunuch Xu walked into the stone table and looked at it. He thought it was really good! He picked up a piece of diced meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.

He has been busy traveling these days, but he hasn't had a good meal.

The bathroom door opened! Cheng Xiao walked out with his smooth chin.

Luo Jiaojiao felt that Cheng Xiao, who was clean and refreshing, looked pretty pretty.

"He's all his clothes, remember to give me favors!"

Qin He joked to Luo Jiaojiao.

"I bought this table of dishes! You will return it after you eat it!"

Luo Jiaojiao pulled Cheng Xiao down without hesitation.

Qin He sat on the other side of Luo Jiaojiao. Luo Jiaojiao also summoned the two guards who had started to eat together.

Zheng Kun and Xu Eunuch were alone. While talking, Xu Eunuch discovered that Zheng Kun was not only knowledgeable, but also had extraordinary political views.

No wonder the emperor wants to use him, it turns out that he is really a talented person!
