After the third prince finished speaking, he stopped discussing the matter, got up and left the study.
Qin Zheng understood what he meant and had a plan in mind, so he respectfully sent the third prince out of the city lord's palace.
After the third prince left, Qin Zheng returned to the study, sat in front of the desk, frowned and fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a moment, he shouted in a low voice: "Here comes someone!"
One of the two guards guarding the door of the study immediately walked into the study, came to Qin Zheng, raised his hands and saluted, "Please give me your orders, Lord City Lord!"
Qin Zheng ordered with a majestic voice: "Immediately send someone to investigate Ji Tianxing's whereabouts and find out his whereabouts as soon as possible!"
"As ordered!" The guard didn't say much. He quickly turned around and walked out of the study to carry out the order.
Qin Zheng was the only one left in the study, and it suddenly fell silent.
He frowned, with cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and murmured to himself: "I am just a commoner with no aristocratic background, so what if I enter the emperor's palace?
Do you really think that if you become the emperor's son, you will be so noble that no one will dare to offend you?
This man dared to offend the emperor and the imperial court. He really did not know how to live or die!
Since the Third Prince has given me instructions to act, I must get rid of this guy!
By then, not only will I be able to avenge Feng'er, but I will also be able to claim credit from the Third Prince and the Imperial Court. My status will definitely be greatly improved!
As long as things are done secretly enough and the Imperial Court protects me, even the Imperial Palace can do nothing to me, huh!"
Having said this, Qin Zheng snorted coldly and secretly clenched his fists.
…
Half a day passed quickly.
Under the dark night, Qin Zheng was sitting in the dimly lit study, quietly waiting for news.
After a while, a guard wearing black armor entered the study, came to him, handed over his hand and reported: "For your information, Lord City Lord, my subordinates have obtained the results of the investigation."
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows and said quickly: "How is the situation? Tell me quickly!"
The black-armored guard said in a low tone: "To inform the city lord, that boy is still in the city and lives in the Yunlan Villa."
"Yunlan Villa?" Qin Zheng knitted his eyebrows together and said in a solemn tone: "That is the property of Yunling Palace. The Yun Family's Villa must be guarded by a large number of experts.
I didn’t expect that boy to be related to the Yun family and hide in the Yunlan Villa."
Qin Zheng's eyes were a little gloomy, and he ordered in a deep voice: "You guys keep an eye on Yunlan Courtyard day and night, and you must keep a close eye on that kid!
I don’t believe that he has been hiding in Yunlan’s villa, and as long as he dares to leave that villa, I will make him disappear into ashes!”
The black-armored guard immediately clasped his fists and saluted, said "I obey", and turned to leave.
But at this moment, another black-armored guard strode into the study, walked quickly to Qin Zheng, and reported respectfully: "To the Lord of the City, that boy just left Yunlan Villa..."
Upon hearing the news suddenly, Qin Zheng was startled, with a sneer on his face.
"Hmph! Is this damn bastard so arrogant and confident?
Since he personally presented you with this great opportunity, how can I let him go?"
After sneering, Qin Zheng immediately ordered: "Inform the worshipers in the worship hall immediately and let them take action immediately.
Tonight, I will see Ji Tianxing’s head on his neck!”
The two black-armored guards clasped their fists and accepted the order, immediately left the study and conveyed the order.
Qin Zheng stared at the dark night outside the window, and sneered with a spiteful face: "Hmph, even if that kid is a genius emperor, he is definitely not the opponent of several Tianyuan realm worshippers!
After tonight, I will rise to great heights and become the Third Prince’s confidant!”
As he spoke, there was a strong look of anticipation in his eyes.
…
In Liantian City, under the dark night, the streets were sparsely lit.
The bustling streets during the day now fell into coldness and silence.
The entire Celestial City is in deep sleep, silent and peaceful.
Ji Tianxing walked alone on the street, his steps were as fast as the wind, his figure flickering in and out of the night.
At this time, he was rushing to Hongfu Inn in the city, preparing to find Ling Yichun.
Yunluo is still secretly investigating the details of Ling Yichun's life experience, but the results of the investigation have not yet come out.
Ji Tianxing wanted to meet Ling Yichun in person and test him again.
In addition, he left Yunlan Villa alone late at night with the intention of luring the snake out of its hole.
On the surface, it looked like he was walking through the city with empty hands and no defense.
But in fact, Ji Tianxing secretly released his spiritual consciousness, covering the surrounding three hundred meters area, monitoring the movements in the darkness at any time.
A quarter of an hour later, he was passing by a dark and lightless bluestone avenue.
There are lush woods on both sides of the avenue, which are full of towering trees. Several quaint houses can be vaguely seen deep in the jungle.
If it is daytime, the houses and mansions on both sides of this avenue can be called a peaceful place.
But in this dark night, the avenue was completely dark and silent, making it look a bit eerie.
Ji Tianxing was walking through the dark night when he suddenly stopped and stood in the middle of the Bluestone Avenue.
He looked at the dark night ahead and shouted expressionlessly: "Since you have followed me here, why don't you just show up?"
The cold voice echoed in the night, containing a hint of contempt and ridicule.
However, everything was quiet, and not a single figure appeared within a radius of a kilometer.
Ji Tianxing frowned, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said, "You cowardly fellow, wouldn't it be boring to hide underground?"
When he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his right foot, exerted all his power, and stomped it hard on the ground.
"Bang!"
Amidst the dull loud noise, a majestic force blasted into the ground.
The flat ground with a radius of a hundred meters suddenly swelled like waves, making a muffled sound of "rumbling".
The smooth and solid bluestone avenue was also twisted and folded by the earthquake, and dozens of wide ravines were opened.
The next moment, several figures in black clothes flew out from the cracks in the ground and landed around Ji Tianxing with a "swish".
Ji Tianxing used his spiritual sense to scan and saw clearly that there were five assassins in black scattered around, surrounding him.
The five assassins in black have different shapes and temperaments, some are old and some are young, some are male and some are female.
But the same thing is that the strength of these five black-clothed assassins has reached the first level of Tianyuan Realm.
Two of the stronger ones were a burly man and a thin woman, both of whom had reached the second level of Tianyuan Realm.
Ji Tianxing was surrounded by five Tianyuan experts, but his expression remained calm and calm.
In fact, after he looked around and glanced at the five Tianyuan powerhouses, a contemptuous sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, your master really underestimates me!
You losers, how dare you come to assassinate me?!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the five Tianyuan experts changed, and their whole bodies exuded violent killing intent.
