After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

Afterwards, Su Qin faced the three people, some lying on the roof and some leaning against the pillars.

He closed his eyes and rested for a long time, waiting until the cockcrowed (around 2-3 in the morning) to make sure that there would be no more assassins coming.

I cleaned up the scene roughly and prepared to leave.

There are a total of six waves of assassins coming tonight, all with different martial arts styles and weapons. In addition to ordinary swords, there are also soft whips, bows and crossbows, etc.

But most of them were easy to deal with, after all, they were not the real top-level royal secret guards. Only one group had particularly strange and vicious moves.

It seemed as if they had no weapons, but with every move they made, powder flew everywhere and their people fell down as soon as they touched it.

Fortunately, Li Wu noticed it in time and ordered his men to get bows and crossbows and shoot them one by one from a distance, otherwise, who knows what would have happened.

Afterwards, when they checked the soldiers who had been hit and were unconscious, they found that they were actually a kind of insect as small as a mosquito.

The insect looked like a flying ant, with six wings and six legs, slender dark red antennae, a red line on its abdomen, and an overall dark green color. If you looked closely, you could see a faint glow, which looked very unusual.

They tightly cover the mouth and nose of the person who is hit, and the sharp mouthparts at the front penetrate deeply into the victim's skin.

They cannot be easily removed using ordinary methods.

"Have you seen this thing?" Li Wu picked up one with the tip of the grass, pinched off its wings, and held it in front of her eyes to examine it carefully.

"Maybe it has something to do with alien races?" Ling Qi bent down and took a look, somewhat unsure.

There are almost no people in the sects in the Central Plains who use insects. Only the Miao people in the legendary Thirty-six Caves have this hobby.

When he was on a business trip to the south, he saw some Miao girls selling medicine using the Five Poisons.

However, it stands to reason that the people of the Thirty-Six Caves would not venture far away because they could not speak the language with the outside world, so he could not really be sure whether it was true or not.

"Why don't we take the person over and ask the Imperial Hospital? They have everything they need." Su Qinchao couldn't help but stand up and brush off the dust on his clothes.

After a busy night, he felt a little exhausted and wanted to find a place to sleep.

When he was inspecting the south of the city yesterday, he temporarily found someone to clean up the small courtyard where he used to hang out with Guanqi inside and out.

All the bedding and other things were replaced with new ones, so that they would have a place to rest after finishing their work, and when they woke up, they could change into clean clothes and return to the Jinwu Guard for duty.

This will come in handy.

"That's true." Li Wu clapped her hands and stood up, then swiftly rolled the soft sword back to her waist.

She still had to go back and report to Princess Yucheng. These injured soldiers needed to be treated by doctors, and medicine, witchcraft and poison had been inseparable since ancient times, so she could go and ask for answers.

"What about you? Are you going back to the palace later?" Su Qinchao looked at Ling Qi on the side again, guessing that this man also had to go back to report.

"Well, we need to send these people to the Inner Prison Department and interrogate them overnight."

...

In the following nights, Su Qinchao followed Li Wu and wandered around every corner of Chang'an with his men.

Either they are looking for evidence or they are trying to assassinate someone.

Sometimes, if I happened to be on duty at the Jinwu Guard, I would disguise myself and hide in the banquets of the princes and ministers to get information...

Occasionally, I would meet Ling Qi who was acting alone and talk to him a word or two.

Those days were filled with blood, gore, and swords.

It was not until the end of August that the emperor suddenly launched an attack in the Taiji Hall.

On the pretext that the eldest prince was incompetent, he was demoted to the Imperial Guard Camp and appointed to a small position as the sixth-rank Zhaowu Cavalry Captain.

The wind direction in the court began to change slowly, and the entire Chang'an city became increasingly turbulent.

You know, originally, the only prince and princess who was old enough to attend court was the eldest prince.

The title that the eldest prince had previously held was just an honorary title as the head of the Ministry of Works.

Every day he either reads documents from the Ministry of Works or hangs around various tool workshops with a few assistant ministers. How could he not be efficient in his work?

There must be other more important reasons, which angered the emperor and caused him to be demoted to the point where he was not even allowed to stay in the court.

Almost everyone was guessing the reason why the eldest prince was demoted, and all kinds of speculations were rampant.

Some said that the eldest prince had a secret relationship with ministers, while others said that the eldest prince did not discipline himself.

They even made up a story about the eldest prince having dinner with a young master from another family at Yaoyue Tower...

Only the Second Prince, the Third Prince, the Fifth Princess and others, who were temporarily under house arrest in their own palaces and had difficulty getting news from the outside world, were worried.

They were the ones who sent people to attack the Du family that night. Since no one came back to report that night, they panicked.

Suddenly, he learned from the guards he had bribed with great difficulty that the eldest prince had been demoted to the Beijing Guard Camp.

What they felt was not the joy of having their biggest rival suppressed, but a sense of uneasiness like an ant attached to their bones.

It seemed as if something would bring about his irreparable destruction in the next moment.

However, no matter how uneasy they were, the previous dynasty could not sense it, after all, these people were not in the court.

...

"Why does this guy sleep every time he comes?" Shen Yong followed Huang Yanchu into the room and saw Su Qinchao sleeping soundly leaning on the back of a chair.

"Maybe I've been too busy lately." Huang Yanchu, who probably knew the inside story, found a chair and sat down.

"Why is he tired? He has been on duty three out of eight times recently. He rests more than me. How is he tired?" Shen Yong was puzzled.
