My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

The two assassins were naturally dead.

Die happily.

Because they confessed, and they confessed very readily.

Bai Shaoqiu threw the red-hot knife out of the campfire, his face gloomy, but it only lasted for a short while before returning to normal.

They are indeed some small shrimps.

They have no idea who is the mastermind behind this.

But Bai Shaoqiu knew who they were——

"What is Fengyu Tower?"

Bai Shaoqiu turned his head and looked at Eunuch Wei and asked.

"Fengyu Tower is a sect in the Jianghu... It's not really a sect, but more of an assassination organization. They take on jobs from wealthy sponsors and carry out assassinations."

Bai Shaoqiu pondered for a moment: "Since it is an organization, does the father-in-law know where their headquarters is?"

"In Kyoto."

"Oh...it's in Kyoto again. Is there another big shot behind it?"

"Well, Mr. Bai, I don't know if there are any big shots behind it, but the owner of Fengyu Tower is extremely mysterious. I'm afraid he has a considerable background."

"Two years ago, a murder occurred in Jiangnan Road that shocked the imperial court."

"The Jiangnan Weaving Bureau was escorting a batch of tax silver to the capital, and everyone was killed on the way. Two hundred soldiers were killed, including Master Chen, the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau official."

"Master Chen has come to the capital to report on his work under imperial order."

"That batch of tax silver is a full 10 million taels!"

“But they are all silver ingots!”

"Lord Chen was killed in the line of duty, and 10 million taels of tax silver were robbed. This case has alarmed the Emperor, who is furious and has ordered the Ministry of Justice to work with the Xuanjing Division to investigate..."

"What's the result? After six months of investigation, this case has come to nothing!"

"Because the 10 million taels of silver were never found, the robbers...we did find out they were from Fengyu Tower. The Xuanjing Division also arrested a few, but they all bit their tongues to death during interrogation by the Ministry of Justice."

"The Emperor was, of course, extremely dissatisfied with this outcome. I remember him smashing his favorite Duan inkstone to pieces in the Imperial Study in front of the Shang Jun Hou and the Minister of Justice, Mr. Yuan."

"But the case ultimately remained unresolved, and the Emperor seemed to have forgotten about it, leaving it unresolved."

"In the end, they couldn't even find out who the owner of Fengyu Tower was... or maybe they did find out, but they couldn't tell us!"

"I'm afraid this matter will be recorded in the secret scroll of the Xuanjing Division."

Bai Shaoqiu understood.

The water in Kyoto is so damn deep!

It can really drown people.

Fengyulou was not the mastermind behind the assassination, it was just a tool.

This time, Fengyu Tower sent more than two hundred assassins, which was enough to show how much importance Fengyu Tower attached to this matter, and also showed that Fengyu Tower at least knew that there were one hundred imperial guards around them.

Eunuch Wei looked at Bai Shaoqiu's solemn expression, then he slowly stood up and looked at the ruins where the embers had gone out. "We have to travel tomorrow, so go to bed early... General Zhao,"

Zhao Poshan bowed and said, "I am here!"

"Have the guards set up tents for the night."

"I will obey your orders!"

The tent was set up opposite the pavilion.

The further away from Changting Station, the lighter the burnt smell will be.

Bai Shaoqiu was not in the tent, he was sitting in the pavilion.

He Xiaofeng had already taken a bath in the stream, bandaged his wounds, changed his clothes, and still had his hands folded. He didn't know when he had a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.

Dongfang Meng stood outside the pavilion holding his stick.

Dongfang Xun was beside Dongfang Meng at this time.

Eunuch Wei did not come out. After all, he was at that age and might be tired.

"Is this matter...just like that?"

He Xiaofeng asked.

Bai Shaoqiu shook his head: "Of course we can't just let it go like this, after all, so many people died."

"That's good."

Bai Shaoqiu looked up at He Xiaofeng and asked, "Are you also feeling upset?"

"of course."

After a pause, He Xiaofeng asked again, "This Fengyu Tower must have a very deep foundation. You've already had a lot of trouble... I mean, aren't you afraid?"

"I was very scared when I was about to leave Xiling City, but after what happened, I'm not afraid anymore."

"What?"

"If they are afraid, they will come. If they are not afraid, they will come too."

"Since it's coming anyway, then let it come. Why be afraid?"

Dongfang Meng heard this and turned around. The sound like spring thunder exploded in the silent night sky:

"Brother-in-law is right!"

"What do you want?"

Bai Shaoqiu pondered for three breaths, then said with a smile, "When we get to Kyoto, I'll burn down the Fengyu Tower!"

Dongfang Meng smiled innocently and turned to look at Dongfang Xun:

"Brother Xun, this is why I like my brother-in-law more."

"He really dares, do you dare?"

Dongfang Xun did not answer, and was unable to answer.

Does he dare?

He certainly dared.

But he would never do that.

Because he was worried about causing trouble for the prince.

I was also worried that my brothers would lose their lives.

This is the concern.

Because of scruples, he will think twice before acting.

Some people regard it as stable,

Some people also see it as being cautious.

Sometimes he envied the Fourth Young Master's free and easy style.

Because the Fourth Young Master is simple, he can practice martial arts very quickly, and his love and hate are also simple.

Make things easier.

He had only one method to deal with his enemies:

Kill with one stick!

……

……

The day will eventually come.

What’s done is done.

The ruins of Changting Station became increasingly blurred in the morning light.

Bai Shaoqiu and his party have set off, heading towards Chang'an.

Sitting in his own specially built black carriage, Bai Shaoqiu's expression was very serious.

It's not that I'm worried about the possible danger ahead, but...

When he woke up early this morning, he found a letter and a jade plaque the size of a copper coin on the headboard of his bed!

Someone had been in his tent!

It was Dongfang Xun’s shadow guard who was in charge of defense last night!

The shadow guard didn't even notice that anyone had entered his tent!

What the hell!

If that person is an assassin...

Bai Shaoqiu shuddered, thinking that his body might be on the way to Xiling City at this moment.

There are many martial arts masters in this world!

Fortunately, that person didn't want to kill me.

That man is a friendly soldier!

The handwriting in the letter was very sloppy and looked like it was written in a hurry.

The meaning is somewhat profound:

That jade mirror is the highest token of the Xuanjing Division!

You can summon the three swords of Xuan Jingsi!

You can also order the three directors of the Xuanjing Division!

but,

But the letter said that the small jade mirror should not be shown unless it is absolutely necessary, because... Shangshan is looking for this thing!

The letter also mentioned Fengyu Tower.

It is said that Fengyu Tower has no stance and will help you kill whoever gives you enough silver.

Of course, Fengyu Tower would not kill royal relatives, because it was just a building and it could not afford to offend the supreme existence like the royal family.

The letter also said...

The Fengyu Tower in Kyoto is just an appearance.

The real Fengyu Tower is not in Kyoto.

where is it?

Did not say.

Well, Bai Shaoqiu looked at the scenery receding outside the car window and took out the small jade token. This useless thing...

When I get to Kyoto, I'll find a time to burn that appearance.

Will the truth about Fengyu Tower be revealed?

He needs the truth!

I urgently need to know who the hell was responsible for the assassination last night!

He Xiaofeng sat opposite Bai Shaoqiu, and saw Bai Shaoqiu's gloomy face suddenly turn sunny again, and then heard Bai Shaoqiu say:

"Starting tonight, you sleep with me!"

He Xiaofeng was dumbfounded: "...There is my beloved girl in Kyoto!"
