Long Chen shook his head slightly and sighed: "King Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty has many tricks, how can he find them so easily?"
"Moreover, the assassin has disguised his identity, who can know."
He Quan and Sha Mengfei suddenly discovered that Longxing Valley was not safe at all.
Sha Mengfei said: "Sir, aren't we in danger at any time? We must find a way to solve this matter!"
He didn't want to die of spontaneous combustion without even leaving a whole body behind.
Long Chen nodded and said: "Of course we have to solve it, otherwise we will all be in danger."
He Quan asked: "How do you plan to solve it?"
Long Chen remained silent...
This way, it's obvious that he already has ideas and strategies, but he doesn't want to say them out loud.
Sha Mengfei stood up and said, "Your Excellency, you can't trust us."
Long Chen waved his hand and said: "Brother, you are too worried. It's not that you can't believe it, but that it's hard to say."
He Quan asked: "Could it be...that there's something bad about us?"
Long Chen nodded slowly and said: "Assassins from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will definitely not lurk in the ranks of officials, because the background of those people can be checked, and they are guaranteed to be clean."
"The suspicion lies with you people in the world, and our target is also you."
These words made the two of them feel cold in their hearts.
The suspicion lies with the Jianghu people, and this means to deal with them.
He Quan looked at Long Chen in astonishment and said, "Sir, this is wrong. Haven't your Imperial City Department checked our background?"
Sha Mengfei was also anxious and said: "We are from a well-known and decent family, how can we be the assassins of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? Why should we be Long Chen's dogs?" ⑧①ZW.????m
Seeing the two people anxious, Long Chen secretly laughed in his heart.
"Brothers, I believe in you, but what's the use?"
The two of them were silent, feeling that their situation was not good.
Long Chen continued after a long time: "Two brothers, we will conduct an assessment tomorrow. Our plan is to determine who may be an assassin in the written examination."
"This time, we would rather kill by mistake than let go. I have a fate with you two. I would like to remind you in advance that you should be careful."
"Also, I actually don't believe that it's us who have the problem, but the officials have no problem."
"It's just that I just joined the Imperial City Division not long ago, and I'm being ignored by others. Chen Lian insists on doing this, and I have no choice."
"If you have relatives or close friends here, you can also remind them in advance so that they can be prepared tomorrow."
"If you are suspected of being an assassin, you will die and you will never survive!"
The two of them felt horrified when they heard this. This was indeed the style of the Imperial City Division.
As long as there is suspicion, kill him first.
He Quan said: "Sir, our two brothers have a good relationship with you. You can vouch for us."
Long Chen shook his head and sighed: "I'm not afraid to tell you two. Even I am suspected of being a spy of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. How can I guarantee you?"
this...
The two of them were shocked.
The custodial officers of the majestic City Division were also suspected of being spies, so how could they be cleared of suspicion?
He Quan muttered: "Then there is no way out!"
Long Chen sighed: "Brothers, if...hey, let's not talk anymore, take care of yourself!"
He Quan and Sha Mengfei stood up and bowed to Long Chen: "Brother, thank you!"
After saying that, the two of them left the yard and returned to their room.
Long Chen saw the two people leaving and smiled in his heart: Let's spread the news.
Long Chen went back to his room to enjoy the spring scenery.
He Quan and Sha Mengfei returned to the room and closed the door. He Quan said, "Do you think what Liu An said is true or false?"
Before Sha Mengfei could say anything, Liu Jindao knocked on the door outside.
Opening the door, Liu Jindao came in and said, "The assessment has been advanced, it's tomorrow, and it's very strange."
Sure enough, it was ahead of schedule, and the two of them were shocked.
He Quan asked: "What's strange?"
Liu Jindao said with a look of displeasure: "The previous assessment was just a competition to show off one's own cultivation. Tomorrow's assessment actually said that it was a matter of life and death!"
Sha Mengfei shook his head and sighed: "As expected!"
Seeing that there was something in Sha Mengfei's words, Liu Jindao asked, "What do you mean it's true? Lao Sha, what's the inside story do you know? Don't hide it from your brother!"
He Quan explained Long Chen's words carefully. Sha Mengfei was dumbfounded and cursed: "These bastards, they can't find the assassins, so they use us as cannon fodder to pay for their crimes!"
He Quan said: "We work as swordsmen and fish as meat. Longxing Valley is controlled by the imperial court. If they want to kill pigs, there is nothing we can do."
Liu Jindao quit and said, "I'm not a pig. It's not that easy to kill me!"
"I have to tell others about this so that everyone can be prepared!"
After saying that, Liu Jindao had already rushed out before the two of them could stop him.
Sha Mengfei looked at Liu Jindao leaving and said, "Oh, what if Liu Jindao reveals the truth?"
He Quan thought for a while and said: "If you poke it out, just poke it out. It doesn't matter if everyone knows it. If you want to fight against it, fight against it together!"
Sha Mengfei said worriedly: "Wouldn't this harm Liu An?"
He Quan sneered: "We are all going to die, why don't we worry about the green-headed flies from the Imperial City Department!"
They didn't care about Long Chen's life or death at all. They called him brother just to get some news.
After all, it's just use.
Sha Mengfei thought it made sense. If his own life was not saved, who would care about Long Chen's life or death.
Soon, the news spread rapidly in Longxing Valley, and people's hearts began to turmoil.
...
Chen Lian went out to find Captain Tieshan of the Forbidden Army and told Long Chen his plan.
Of course, Chen Lian did not say that this was Long Chen's idea, but said what he meant.
After listening to this, Tieshan said: "A fight between life and death... I don't think it's appropriate. Doesn't this make them kill each other?"
Chen Lian shook his head and said: "No, if it wasn't a spy from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he wouldn't have really killed him."
"Unless the Eastern Zhou spies want to take advantage of the opportunity to kill, we will arrest them just in time!"
Tieshan is good at marching and fighting, but he is not good at this kind of conspiracy.
"Gu Master Chen is from the Imperial City Department. You are better at it. Just make your decision. What do you need us to do?"
Chen Lian said: "I need the imperial army to control the overall situation. If the Eastern Zhou spies attack, I hope the general will control the situation and never let the spies escape."
Tieshan immediately said: "This is no problem. Don't worry, we have surrounded Longxing Valley, and..."
Chen Lian waited for Tieshan to continue speaking, but Tieshan stopped abruptly, and then disappeared.
Tieshan wanted to say, and Xu Feng's black-armored army was lurking in the dark, so it was impossible for anyone to escape.
"And if something happens, we are also responsible."
Tieshan excused himself smoothly.
Chen Lian could tell that Tieshan was not telling the truth.
But it doesn't matter, as long as absolute safety can be guaranteed, that's enough, and you don't need to worry about anything else.
After all, the Imperial City Department and the Forbidden Army are not the same system, and he cannot interfere.
"Thank you so much, General Tie."
Chen Lian deliberately called Tieshan "general", which was a form of bribery, and he deliberately called it nicer.
Chen Lian said goodbye and immediately went back to prepare for tomorrow's competition.
...
When Longxinggu was preparing for the competition, Yu Fuguo took Wu Chenghou back to the Imperial City Division.
Entering the Imperial City Division, Yu Fuguo returned to the room.
A middle-aged man walked in and said, "Father-in-law."
This person is Wang Liang, the superintendent of the Department of Ethics and Discipline.
"Give Wu Chenghou the most powerful poison and we will make him die a miserable death!"
Wang Liang immediately bowed and said, "Slave, I obey!"
After exiting the room, Wang Liang returned to the Fengji Department where Wu Chenghou was covered in mud and tied to a chair.
His men brought poison, Wang Liang opened it, and sighed slightly: "Wu Yasi, have a good trip!"
Wu Chenghou looked at the poison and said angrily: "Liu An must be a spy from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Is my father-in-law so stupid? He couldn't even find it!"
The spies around him trembled when they heard that Wu Chenghou dared to speak like this.
