"Well, close the door!"

Han Zhiyu knew that Xiao Changchuan had been following behind her, so she asked the maid to close the door without looking back.

She sneered in her heart. If this idiot dared to let her down, he should just wait for revenge from the Han family!

But tonight's Shangsi Festival did not stop because of the appearance of these assassins.

Chu Feiyan ordered his men to quickly collect the assassin's body and bring it back to the yamen, and clean up the bloodstains at the scene. The street soon became lively again.

But she and Gong Beixuan no longer had any interest in shopping, so they followed them to the morgue of the government office to examine the bodies of the killers.

Xia An had already checked the bodies and reported to them: "Your Highness, there are a total of sixty assassins. Our people originally captured a few alive, but they all bit their tongues and committed suicide."

Chu Feiyan walked past the corpses and asked, "Are there any marks on their bodies?"

“Yes, we have checked these bodies. Apart from hidden weapons and poison powder, there is nothing else that can identify them.

But ten of them had marks on their shoulder blades, so it is certain that these assassins are the same group of people as the killers who broke into the Imperial Master's Mansion." Xia An said.

"It's this group of people again." Chu Feiyan's face turned cold.

The mastermind behind this wanted to get rid of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and kill Gong Beixuan. She thought it would be related to Prince Rui and the Gu family.

But from their investigation to eliminating the remnants of these two families, they found that these killers had no connection with these two families.

There is someone else behind the scenes who wants to kill them.

Gong Beixuan stopped in front of a corpse and stared at the mark on the shoulder blade thoughtfully.

"Master, what's wrong?" Ji Song asked him.

"Go get paper and pen." Gong Beixuan ordered.

"Yes." Ji Song hurried out to look for it.

There happened to be paper and pen on the table in the outer room, and Ji Song quickly brought the paper, inkstone and brush to him.

Gong Beixuan picked up the pen and drew the mark on the paper.

Finding no useful clues on the bodies, they had to leave.

Chu Feiyan and Gong Beixuan walked out of the government office gate and saw Liang Ying waiting outside the gate in a carriage.

"Princess, Master, please get in the car." Liang Ying helped them lift the curtain.

After the two got on the carriage, Gong Beixuan took out the picture again and looked at it carefully.

"Did you see anything?" Chu Feiyan couldn't help but ask him.

"Ayan, maybe our thinking is off track." Gong Beixuan pointed at the little snake in the picture, "Is it possible that this little snake is a dragon? And this crescent may have been round originally, but was hidden by the clouds..."

Hearing this, Chu Feiyan suddenly realized, "Long Yin..."

As soon as these words came out, both of them were shocked by these two words.

Chu Feiyan had always thought that it was some sect in the martial arts world and never thought about it in the direction of Long Yinwei.

"Could it really be the Dragon Hidden Guard?"

The two looked at each other, and a very scary thought popped up in their minds.

The mastermind behind this is most likely the emperor.

Chu Feiyan thought of what Long Shiling said before he died. If the mastermind behind this was really the emperor, then why did he want to get rid of the Chu family and Gong Beixuan? This would not do him any good at all.

"Could it be that the emperor has already recovered the Dragon Hidden Order?" Chu Feiyan pondered.

Everyone knows that the emperor has a mysterious Dragon Hidden Guard, and the Dragon Hidden Guard only recognizes tokens and not people. If you want to mobilize this team, you must have the Dragon Hidden Order, but no one has ever seen what the Dragon Hidden Order looks like?

"It is very likely." Gong Beixuan's face was not good either.

If these killers were really the Dragon Hidden Guards, then he could be sure that the emperor wanted to kill them.

But he still couldn't figure it out.

In order to protect the Long family's kingdom, the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion has fought so hard that almost no one in the entire family is left.

But as long as the Chu family army is still there, it can intimidate the people of Dalin and Northern Qi. Getting rid of the Chu family will only do harm to the emperor.

If the Chu family had any rebellious intentions, would they have waited until this time?

"The Chu family controls an army of 300,000, so the emperor is bound to be a little wary. But why would he want to kill you, a national teacher?" Chu Feiyan looked at Gong Beixuan, puzzled.

Gong Beixuan is the imperial teacher and a descendant of the former imperial teacher. How could the emperor dare to kill him?

Moreover, the position of imperial teacher has always been respected and is like a god. He can play a role in stabilizing the government. There is no benefit at all for the emperor to kill him.

"If it is really the dog emperor who wants to kill us, I will overthrow the Long family's empire." Chu Feiyan said bitterly.

"This emperor is suspicious by nature and has a deep mind. Judging from the way he dealt with Prince Rui and the Gu family, he can't stand anyone threatening his throne and country. You have to be more careful in the future." There was a cold look in Gong Beixuan's eyes.

"Damn it!" Chu Feiyan was annoyed and really wanted the Chu family to withdraw from the court and quit their job!

But the Chu family plays an important role in the court. Once they choose to retreat, Dalin and Beiqi will surely make a comeback.

Once the country is in chaos, the first to suffer are the poor people. Given my grandfather's temperament, he would never sit idly by.

"There are still many doubts about this matter. Let's not be impatient. Maybe someone wants to use Long Yinwei to blind their eyes. We can't let others lead us by the nose. Let's see who can't hold back first." Gong Beixuan said.

"I understand." Chu Feiyan looked at him, "It's all because of me that you are being held back."

"Don't say such stupid things." Gong Beixuan took her hand and said, "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will advance and retreat together."

"Hmph! They want to kill me, but it's not that easy!" Chu Feiyan sneered.

When she was a child, she heard her mother mention the Dragon Hidden Guards, saying that this team had extremely strong martial arts and each of them was a top master.

But she had never seen the martial arts of the Dragon Hidden Guards, so she didn't know how skilled they were.

If these killers tonight are the Dragon Hidden Guards, then she really doesn't take them seriously.

The next day.

Xiao Changchuan arrived at the Ministry of War and went to Minister Han's office lobby after dawn. He wanted to resign from his military post as Cavalry Commandant first and then talk to him about breaking off the engagement.

However, Minister Han already knew that Xiao Changchuan wanted to cancel the engagement.

Just last night when Han Zhiyu returned home, Minister Han and his wife saw that her eyes were red from crying. They felt something was wrong and asked her what had happened.

Han Zhiyu felt aggrieved and threw herself into Mrs. Han's arms and burst into tears, then told them everything about her quarrel with Xiao Changchuan.

Xiao Changchuan walked into the office lobby and saw Minister Han sitting there reviewing some memorials. There was no one else in the lobby.

He walked forward slowly and bowed, "Your Excellency."

Han Shangshu looked up at him and asked, "Have you finished what you are doing?"

"No!" Xiao Changchuan took a deep breath and said, "I am here to resign, sir."

"Yeah." Han Shangshu nodded calmly and spoke in his normal voice.

"After resigning from your official position, you then wanted to cancel your marriage with Yu'er, right? I helped you get the position of Cavalry Commander, and made you feel that you got your wealth and honor by relying on women, which undermined your integrity, right?"
