The Blood Rain Guards traced the surrounding traces, but found nothing. At the same time, they also sent the bodies of four killers to Qianhu Station, which were key 'evidences'. In the case of assassinating a 'Blood Rain Guard Captain', the Blood Rain Guards would definitely
for investigation.
The night passed and the sky was dark.
"Dong dong dong." The door knocked.
Xu Jingming went to open the door and saw a team of more than ten people standing outside the door, all on horseback. The leader was a silver-haired old man, who was the "Lu Guard" of the Fei family's guard team.
"Master Lu." Xu Jingming held his hand.
Lu Shao and Qiu Huayu were both Fei Qing's confidants. They had previously joined forces to defeat King Ye of the Black Lotus Sect.
"Follow me to Fei Mansion quickly." The silver-haired old man said, "My lord wants to see you."
"Okay." Xu Jingming understood and immediately stepped forward and rode a horse.
"team leader."
Five Blood Rain Guards not far from the street also came over, looking at the team with some confusion.
"You guys can go have breakfast, there's no need to stay here." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
"Okay." The five Blood Rain Guards all smiled. The captain said that they can relax.
"drive!"
Xu Jingming followed the team and rode towards Fei's house.
This made Xu Jingming secretly lament that galloping horses are prohibited in the imperial capital! Even if he is the captain of the Blood Rain Guards, he does not have this power. But...it is obvious that the team sent by Commander-in-Chief Fei has such power.
"Master Lu, what happened?" Xu Jingming asked.
"Were you attacked last night?" the silver-haired old man asked.
"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded.
"You are the Blood Rain Guard who was personally recommended by the Lord. If you were assassinated, the news will naturally be reported to the Lord immediately." The silver-haired old man said, "The Lord also has something to ask you."
Soon, the team returned to Fei Mansion.
Fei Mansion Hall.
As soon as Xu Jingming came in, he saw Luo Baichuan lying on a stretcher. Luo Baichuan looked gray. When he saw Xu Jingming coming, his eyes were still numb and empty.
"Brother Luo." Xu Jingming looked at him in disbelief.
Luo Baichuan, who was lying on the stretcher, was missing one left leg and one right arm, and he was lying dumbly.
"Brother Luo..." Xu Jingming said.
Luo Baichuan glanced at Xu Jingming, but his eyes did not waver.
At this time, Fei Qing walked in, sat on the main seat, frowned slightly and looked at Luo Baichuan who was lying down and Xu Jingming who was standing.
"Both of you were attacked by a team of killers last night." Fei Qing said, "Jingming resisted, but Luo Baichuan had one of his arms and legs broken. He even took away his arms and legs."
"Tell me the details." Fei Qing said, "The more detailed the better, and tell me your speculations."
"I was sleeping in the house, and three killers entered the house at the same time. I immediately picked up weapons to resist. In just two or three moves, I lost one leg and one arm." Luo Baichuan, who was lying there, spoke first, "
They took my arms and legs and left, telling me to stay away from Miss Fei Xinlan before leaving."
Xu Jingming's face changed slightly when he heard this.
Stay away from Miss Fei Xinlan?
"The three killers are very strong, and I guess one of them is a first-class master." Luo Baichuan said mockingly, "You really think highly of me and send a first-class master to assassinate me. I'm just a nobody."
"Master Fei." Luo Baichuan looked at Fei Qing with longing in his eyes, "I want to know who sent the killer?"
Fei Qing did not answer, but looked at Xu Jingming: "What's your situation?"
"I was out that night, wandering around to see the night view of the imperial capital. When I returned home at night, I found that an enemy had sneaked into my residence, and I could sense... that nine auras were ambushing me, so I immediately sent out an arrow!" Xu Jingming said
, "The nine killers knew they were exposed. Instead of running away, they came to kill them."
"With the help of five Blood Rain Guards nearby, I blocked nine assassins and luckily killed four of them." Xu Jingming said, "Because of the continuous flow of Blood Rain Guards arriving, the killers did not dare to delay. If
If I really rely on my strength, without any helpers, and the fight lasts longer, I'm afraid I will lose my life."
"How strong are the nine people?" Fei Qing asked.
"Three first-rate masters, and six others who should be second-rate masters." Xu Jingming said.
When Luo Baichuan heard this, his eyes changed.
Nine killers dealt with Jing Ming. Jing Ming's hands and feet were very good and he killed four of them.
But Luo Baichuan... became disabled!
"I am still weak." Luo Baichuan felt sad in his heart.
He originally wanted to see the prosperity of the Imperial Capital and make a career in the world. Who would have thought that not long after arriving in the Imperial Capital, he would have broken an arm and a leg, could no longer walk, and would have a gloomy future.
"...The first-class master I severely wounded and captured alive actually committed suicide." Xu Jingming finished the story, "The first-class master died, and I don't know when I encountered such an enemy."
Fei Qing nodded.
"Luo Baichuan, you can recover well in the palace." Fei Qing looked at Luo Baichuan, "You will definitely not be able to be a Blood Rain Guard anymore. I will arrange simple errands for you, and you can live a good life in the imperial capital from now on."
"Thank you, sir." Luo Baichuan said.
As long as you can get by, that's fine.
What future can I have if I am like this?
Soon the waiters on the side carried the stretcher out. Xu Jingming looked at Luo Baichuan at this moment and recalled the first time he met Luo Baichuan, that tall and enthusiastic man! Luo Baichuan was very enthusiastic and talkative at the time, Xu Jingming said
Luo Baichuan said ten sentences in one sentence.
In the past few months, even if he was seriously injured and dying, Luo Baichuan has always been full of fighting spirit.
But now, Luo Baichuan has completely changed, becoming numb and desperate, with no fighting spirit anymore.
"Did you guess it?" Fei Qing looked at Xu Jingming.
"I have some guesses." Xu Jingming nodded, "The power of the entire imperial capital that can cultivate top-notch master warriors can only be counted with two hands. And let Luo Baichuan stay away from Miss Fei, I guess the only one is Prince Yan's Mansion."
"I also guess it's Prince Yan's Mansion." Fei Qing nodded, "From today on, you have to be careful. That Cheng Yanran failed to arrange an assassination. Based on my understanding of his character, I'm afraid he won't give up."
"Don't give up?" Xu Jingming's expression changed.
"Yes." Fei Qing nodded, "Just be careful every day. It will be fine after this period of time. Cheng Yanran won't keep staring at you."
"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded.
Fei Qing stood up and left. Xu Jingming bowed slightly and then went to look for Luo Baichuan.
Luo Baichuan temporarily lived in a remote courtyard in Fei Mansion, and arranged for two servants to serve him.
"Brother Luo." Xu Jingming saw Luo Baichuan lying on the bed, "Is there anything I can help with?"
Luo Baichuan turned his head slightly and looked at it, saying: "Be careful! The Imperial City is prosperous, but it is also very dangerous. I have imagined the prosperity of the Imperial City many times in Lanyue City, and I narrowly escaped death before I came to the Imperial Capital. However, I
This is how it ends.”
"Brother Luo, pain lasts a lifetime, happiness lasts a lifetime." Xu Jingming comforted, "How you live in this life ultimately depends on your heart."
"In your heart?" Luo Baichuan closed his eyes and didn't want to say anything.
"As a Blood Rain Guard, you should know how miserable it is at the bottom of the imperial capital. At least you still have servants to wear your clothes and put your hands on and food to open your mouth." Xu Jingming comforted, "Master Fei also promised to arrange simple errands for you. You
Still much better than many people in the imperial capital."
"Much stronger?"
Luo Baichuan lowered his head and looked at the broken arms and legs, "Is it just me?"
Xu Jingming also knew that it would not be easy for the other party to come out, after all, the blow was too great.
"If you need my help in the future, just come to me." Xu Jingming said.
"Back then, you, me and Qiu Tong, all three of us were invited by Miss Fei to come to the imperial capital together." Luo Baichuan looked at Xu Jingming and said, "Qiu Tong broke a hand, and I broke my arms and legs... I hope
You can escape this bad fate, live well and live a more glorious life in this prosperous and dangerous imperial capital."
Xu Jingming nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Luo Baichuan closed his eyes.
At this moment, he was recalling the days when he ate meat and drank alcohol in Lanyue City. At that time, he was also a popular figure in the Black Ax Gang, and he responded to every call...
****
Prince Yan's Mansion.
At three o'clock in the morning, Cheng Yanran got up and put on gorgeous clothes, served by his beautiful concubine. The beautiful concubine looked at him with fascination in her eyes.
After getting up, Cheng Yanran rinsed her mouth first, then sat in the pavilion admiring the garden view and drinking Sanzhen porridge.
"Your Highness." The woman in black came over.
"Huh?" Cheng Yanran raised her eyebrows and looked at this subordinate.
"The assassination has come to fruition." The woman in black said softly.
"Anthracene."
Cheng Yanran then remembered that to him, it was just a small matter that he casually ordered. Cheng Yanran continued to drink porridge and asked casually, "Is it done?"
"There's no problem with Luo Baichuan. One of his arms and one leg was broken." The woman in black said, "There was a mistake on Jingming's side."
"Huh?" Cheng Yanran frowned.
Missed?
"Killing the captain of the Blood Rain Guards and still missing the mark?" Cheng Yanran said coldly, "A bunch of trash."
The woman in black respectfully placed the file in her arms on the table: "Your Highness, this is a detailed file. We sent nine killers to deal with Jing Ming, and four of them died, including a top-notch master."
Cheng Yanran's face darkened, she picked up the file and read it carefully.
"Is this Jingming very strong, top-notch?" Cheng Yanran looked at it and nodded, "And he was also lucky. He was not at home last night. On the contrary, he was allowed to send the trumpet first, giving him an advantage."
"What should we do next?" the woman in black asked. She knew the character of her eldest son.
When you do something, you will not give up easily or give up easily.
"Hmm."
Cheng Yanran looked at the file, "As soon as the trumpet arrow was fired, the surrounding Blood Rain Guards rushed over quickly?"
"Then destroy this team of Blood Rain Guards." Cheng Yanran said casually, "There are thirty-three Blood Rain Guards from Jingming on down, no one will be left alive!"
"Yes!" The woman in black held her hands.
For Cheng Yanran, killing thirty-three Blood Rain Guards was just killing some pigs and dogs.
"The Blood Rain Guards are scattered everywhere, some are on duty and some are at home." The woman in black asked, "Once we take action, we must take action from all places at the same time! We have to mobilize at least hundreds of experts. Now His Majesty is very strict with our Prince Yan's Mansion.
It's a precaution...the manpower this time is not suitable to be sent from our Prince Yan's Mansion, we only have a few hundred men in the imperial capital."
"Let the Huangquanmen take action." Cheng Yanran said casually, "The dogs we raise have to be let out to bite people occasionally."
"Yes." The woman in black immediately accepted the order.
