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

Long Aotian earnestly advised, "At this time, you can still go back and take your family with you, use my token, and leave the city without anyone noticing!"

Hearing Long Aotian's words, Jiang Shou finally began to waver.

After all, he didn't really want to die; an old fox like him definitely wanted to live.

No one had given him this option before; his former superior, Lin Boguang, wanted him dead.

The mysterious man who appeared later promised to protect him and help him leave, but only on the condition that he kill Long Aotian.

But now, an opportunity without any conditions is presented to him. How could he not be tempted?

"No, if you really have the strength, then why didn't you kill me?" Jiang Shou looked at Long Aotian and questioned, "Since you were able to kill Wang Wu and Wang Liu, then killing me, a mere Jiang Shou, is naturally a piece of cake!"

"Fine, I'm kind enough to spare your life, but you insist on choosing death, so I have no choice but to grant your wish." Long Aotian said, retracting his waist token with a backhand motion, then raised his horizontal sword towards Jiang Shoudao, "Come on!"

Although Long Aotian's eyes were resolute, he was actually quite anxious inside.

He was able to defeat Wang Liu entirely because he underestimated his opponent.

They assumed Long Aotian didn't know martial arts, so they casually teased him.

Unexpectedly, although he didn't know martial arts, he had diligently practiced one move, which was still very surprising.

Seeing his stance, Jiang Shou immediately changed his mind. He put down his knife and said with a smile, "Lord Shen, I was just joking. We don't really have any grudges against each other, so why take it to this point?"

"How about we do what you just said, give me your waist token so I can take my family out of the city, what do you say?"

"Do you think this is a vegetable market? You think you can just buy what you want and not buy what you don't?!" Seeing Jiang Shouqing back down, Long Aotian immediately hardened his tone. "I just gave you a way out, but you refused. If it weren't for the fact that we've been colleagues for many years, and that you're not like others who are usually so rude to me, I would have already chopped you down!"

Seeing Long Aotian's tough attitude, Jiang Shou immediately fell for his feigned indifference and quickly said, "I was rude to someone just now. I beg Lord Shen to be magnanimous and spare my life for the sake of our years of working together!"

What a joke! When did Long Aotian ever have any colleague relationship with you?

He had only been in this world for a month, even though the original owner was Shen Congxin.

When I was in the Town Night Division, I was constantly bullied and harassed by you!

However, Long Aotian pretended to think for a while before speaking: "It's easy for me to spare your life, but you must answer one question for me."

"What question? As long as you ask, Lord Shen, I, Jiang, will answer to the best of my knowledge!" Jiang Shou was now completely convinced that Long Aotian was very powerful and had been playing dumb all along.

"I want you to tell me why you sent me to escort those bandits out of the city?"

Actually, he had never figured this out. While it would be easy to leave the city with the waist token of the Huayi Mansion, it wasn't the only way.

Moreover, using the Huayi Mansion's waist token to leave the city would be seen by the checkpoints along the way, and if anything went wrong, it would be easy to be exposed...

"This is because, by using your waist token to leave the city, we can conveniently get rid of you..." After Jiang Shou finished speaking, he quickly distanced himself from the situation, "This idea wasn't mine. It was that guy Wen Tao who offered it to that scoundrel Lin Boguang, and then he forced me to do it!"

This old fox is indeed an old fox. His words not only absolved him of all responsibility but also portrayed him as someone who had no other choice.

In fact, he was the one who came up with the plan, and it had nothing to do with Wen Tao. Mentioning Wen Tao's name was just to make Long Aotian resent him.

After all, it was that guy who, while in the dark prison, not only mocked him but also refused to help him in his time of need!

"It's Lin Boguang again!" Long Aotian clenched his fist, silently making a grudge against him.

“Lord Shen, now that things have come to this, I will not hide anything from you.” Just as Long Aotian was about to give Jiang Shou the waist token, he gave him an unexpected reward. Jiang Shou said, “Actually, the one who really wants your wife is not Lin Boguang, but someone else!”

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian trembled and asked sharply, "Who is it?"

Jiang Shou didn't continue, but instead pointed to the sky, "As for who's in charge, I really don't know..."

Long Aotian looked at him, knowing that the old fox might not be telling the truth, but then he thought again, if that were really the case, then there was no need for him to say such a thing, after all, Long Aotian had already planned to give him the waist token...

"Lord Shen, I've told you everything I know, now you should give me the waist token..."

"What's the rush? Let me ask you another question."

"You..." Jiang Shou hesitated, "Lord Shen, please ask..."

"Who gave you the order to take the Seven Star Grass?" Long Aotian asked.

He already had a guess about this issue in his mind, but he just needed to verify it.

“I really don’t know…” Jiang Shou replied, “All the orders were issued by Lin Boguang. He did meet with a big shot from Jingcheng, but I don’t know who it is…”

"However, I do know that the people of the Huayi Mansion wanted to cure the current emperor's illness, so they sent someone to find Physician Zhang, one of the three great medicine masters of our time." Jiang Shou unexpectedly revealed a very important piece of information, "But unexpectedly, Physician Zhang was on his way to Jingcheng when he happened to run into Wang Wu, the notorious bandit pursued by government troops, and as a result..."

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian's suspicions were confirmed.

He turned to look at Shi Yiguang, who was already sobbing uncontrollably after hearing the devastating news…

"Alright." Long Aotian tossed the Huayi Mansion's waist token to Jiang Shou and said indifferently, "Take the token and live."

Jiang Shou was overjoyed when he saw the token. He thanked Long Aotian and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the token from the ground without any precautions.

Seeing this, Long Aotian handed his sword to Luo Hongyan, who had finished recuperating beside him.

The next moment, a beautiful figure in red flashed by, and Jiang Shou immediately fell to the ground...

Long Aotian sighed, silently stepped forward, and looked at Jiang Shoudao, whose eyes were wide open in death: "You think I don't know what you've done? If I release you with this token, do you think I'll survive? Don't blame me..."

Luo Hongyan stood aside, knife in hand, and looked at Long Aotian, saying, "I never expected that you, Lord Shen, would be so good with words. Even the usually cunning Chief Inspector Jiang was fooled by you..."

Long Aotian took the Huayi Mansion's waist token back from Jiang Shou's tightly clenched hand, and then said, "It's not that I lied to him, but that smart people are always inherently suspicious..."
