Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

Long Aotian shrugged and replied, "The Seven Star Grass is not in my possession. It has been stolen by Luo Hongyan, the chief inspector of the Zhenye Division. If you want the Seven Star Grass, go find her."

The two assassins looked at each other, but ultimately did not believe Wang Aotian's words and put their knives to his neck.

Do you think we can believe what you say?

"Hand over the Seven Star Grass right now, or I'll kill her first," an assassin grabbed Shi Yiguang and threatened viciously.

"You can't kill her."

Long Aotian's heart was pounding in his chest, but he still managed to answer calmly.

"Why? Do you think we wouldn't dare?!" The assassin was also a simpleton, and after hearing Long Aotian's words, he immediately wanted to give him a performance.

"No, of course not," Long Aotian quickly explained. "This young lady is a disciple of the Medicine Saint. If you kill her, no one in this world will know how to use the Seven Star Grass!"

"You think we need the Seven Star Grass to save our lives?" The assassin in black laughed loudly. "You're incredibly foolish!"

"Since the Seven Star Grass isn't here, let's get started and stop talking nonsense!"

It was at this moment that the courtyard gate was suddenly kicked open.

Hearing the commotion, the two assassins turned around and saw Luo Hongyan carrying a horizontal sword, slowly walking into Long Aotian's courtyard.

The two assassins looked at Luo Hongyan and said, "You two really are in cahoots!" With that, they drew their knives and charged forward!

However, these two were no match for Luo Hongyan; she easily defeated them.

Looking at Luo Hongyan's gloomy face, Long Aotian retreated in fear.

"Chief Inspector Luo, I've always considered you a friend. Are you going to kill me?"

At this moment, Long Aotian was cursing inwardly: Which lousy author wrote this book? What kind of protagonist gets caught up in so many events right from the start?!

"You've misunderstood, Lord Shen." Luo Hongyan looked at Long Aotian with a pale face and said, "I'm not here to take your lives, but to help you."

Although Long Aotian now had nowhere to retreat, he still couldn't believe her words.

A woman's words are like a deceitful ghost. If Luo Hongyan hadn't betrayed him and remained silent, how could he have ended up like this?

"I……"

"Shen Congxin, get out here right now, I'm going to take your life!"

Just then, Jiang Shou's voice suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard.

Luo Hongyan turned around and just then saw Jiang Shou step into the courtyard.

"Oh, isn't this Inspector Luo?" Jiang Shou, with his disheveled hair, looked at the situation before him and suddenly laughed. "Now I really don't understand. What kind of tricks are you two playing?"

Before the two of them could answer, Jiang Shou spoke up on his own: "Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway. You'll all die here after today!" With that, he raised his hand and flung out several poisoned silver needles!

Luo Hongyan stood in front of Long Aotian and Shi Yiguang, and swung her knife to knock down the silver needles.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shou immediately drew his sword from his waist, leaped forward, and began to fight Luo Hongyan!

As a result, although Jiang Shou's skills were not high, Luo Hongyan's injuries had not healed, so he still gained the upper hand for a time.

Jiang Shou seized the opportunity, first throwing out a hidden weapon, and then taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack with his knife while Luo Hongyan was blocking it. Due to her injuries, she was quickly slashed by Jiang Shou and then kicked away!

Seeing Luo Hongyan lying in front of him, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, but still managing to stand up, Long Aotian finally believed what she had just said.

"You lot, one of you is seriously injured, and the other is a good-for-nothing who can't do anything. I'm going to win today!" Jiang Shou looked at Long Aotian and the other two with a smug smile on his face.

Luo Hongyan got up, wanting to fight again, but she was already at her limit.

"That's enough, leave the rest to me." Seeing this, Long Aotian stepped forward and took the horizontal sword from her hand.

"Lord Shen, I'm so sorry." Luo Hongyan looked at Long Aotian with great guilt and said, "But Ye Baixun has been kind to me, so I could only try to obtain the Seven Star Grass for him..."

Long Aotian stepped forward slowly, turned his head and smiled calmly, "It's alright, your words are enough."

"Shen Congxin, have you gone mad?" Jiang Shou pointed his knife at Long Aotian. "Last time you only ambushed me. Did you really think that a piece of trash like you could beat me?!"

Long Aotian smiled slightly and said softly, "If you don't believe me, then come and try it."

Seeing how confident he was, Jiang Shou hesitated.

"Don't you even use your brain? How many years have I been in the Zhenye Division, and how many years have you been in the Zhenye Division?" Long Aotian said mysteriously, "If I really wanted to pursue fame and fortune, even if there were ten Lin Boguangs, they wouldn't be able to sit on my head!"

His words were loud and clear, full of confidence!

"You..." Upon hearing this, Jiang Shou thought about it carefully and realized that there was indeed something suspicious about it, but he still tried to remain calm and said, "Shen coward, even at a time like this, you still want to fool me? Who do you think I am, Jiang Shou? How could I be fooled by your few words!"

After he finished speaking, Long Aotian deliberately threw his head back and laughed loudly.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at your stupidity!" Long Aotian turned around, his blade pointing directly at Jiang Shou. "If I were truly a useless piece of trash, then how did the highly skilled Wang Wu and his disciple Wang Liu die?"

"Use your brain to think!" Long Aotian said sternly, "Luo Hongyan was poisoned by your needle, and Jiang Beichuan is just a lowly patrolman. Without my help, who do you think could kill Wang Wu and Wang Liu?"

"You..." Jiang Shou was completely bewildered after hearing Long Aotian's words.

"I know who sent you to kill me," Long Aotian said with a smile. "But don't you think about it? If you kill me, will you live? Did I cause you to become like this?!"

"Yes……"

“That’s right, it’s your superior, Lin Boguang!” Long Aotian said. “You should also know that when I was the chief patrolman of the Zhenye Division, Lin Boguang was just a junior patrolman. Do you think he didn’t know how capable I was?”

"This..." Jiang Shou's brain completely shut down.

"But why did he still make you do this?" Long Aotian questioned. "Why didn't he warn you to be careful?!"

"Could it really be Lin Baixun..." Just as Jiang Shou was about to get caught up in the situation, he suddenly shook his head and pointed his knife at Long Aotian, saying, "No, you're trying to mislead us!"

Seeing this, Long Aotian had no choice but to use his ultimate move. He took off the token of the Left Commander of Huayi Mansion from his waist and said, "I don't know what benefits the person who sent you to kill me promised."

"But I'm giving you a way out now. Take my token and leave Qianzhou City, and you can at least save your life!"
