"call……"

In the inn, Lin Yanjiang and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

With further understanding of the assassin's strength, the few people obviously lowered their expectations and no longer thought about taking the assassin down. Seeing that he was forced to retreat, the few people felt very at ease.

"Fortunately Your Majesty is safe, but the capital seems to be uneasy recently." Lin Yanjiang sighed quietly and looked at Li Xiuran and said, "When I was planning to enter the palace tomorrow to report to Your Majesty, I would recommend you to Your Majesty and transfer you to the Ministry of Justice to join the post.

Now that an assassin suddenly enters the palace for assassination, he runs away. Next, he will definitely search the whole city and hunt down the assassin. The pressure on the Ministry of Justice will probably not be less. Let's wait until you get transferred to the office."

"I'll listen to you." Li Xiuran nodded.

Because of his outstanding ability to solve cases, he was appreciated by Lin Yanjiang. So he mentioned to him on the way, and after entering Beijing, he recommended him to the Ministry of Justice, and then worked in his old profession and used his expertise to make it easier to be promoted in the future.

But unexpectedly, this incident happened, and the emperor was suddenly assassinated. He thought that he would be furious next and ordered a thorough investigation of the case and arrest the assassin. The Ministry of Justice was the first to be the main force in investigating the case.

It is really unwise to join the company now, so it is better to avoid this vortex for the time being.

"Why have to wait? Isn't the time right now? Transfer Brother Li to the Ministry of Justice and directly participate in the case. If the assassin can be caught, it would be a great achievement." Lin Fengkai reminded.

Don't cheat me... Li Xiuran suddenly felt panicked.

Lin Yanjiang also glanced at him: "The national teacher and Commander Yan joined forces to keep the assassin. Do you think he is so easy to catch? It is a great achievement to catch people, but if they can't catch them, the blame will not be small.

If your work is not effective and your Majesty is furious, you may be guilty of death. Why bother to go to this muddy water?"

"That's right." Lin Fengkai laughed awkwardly and stopped talking.

Fortunately, Lao Lin was very thoughtful and did not fool him... Li Xiuran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

...

at the same time.

The palace, in the imperial study.

A middle-aged figure in a dragon robe sat upright on the dragon throne. It was Hu Yanshou, the 73rd emperor of the Huyan Empire. His face, which had always been calm, was now gloomy, and there was a coldness in his deep eyes, which was obviously angered by the assassination just now.

At the door, two figures stepped in.

A burly and tall armored man with a strong aura, Yan Hao, the commander of the imperial guards in the capital who had just fought with the assassin, came to the middle and knelt on one knee and said, "I'm late to save the emperor, please forgive me."

The other one was wearing a purple robe, with a moderate figure, a high nose bridge, a slightly thin lips, a short beard at the corner of his mouth, and a somewhat cold face. It was Feng Beichen, who just bowed his hand, but he was not as respectful as Yan Hao.

"Has the assassin ever been caught?" Hu Yanshou asked in a deep voice.

Yan Hao lowered his head: "Weichen is incompetent, so let him run away."

Hu Yanshou's face instantly became a little gloomy again.

Feng Beichen said lightly: "The assassin was injured by me, and his injuries would not be light. He was guarded by heavy troops in the city gate. With his current state, he would definitely be still in the city at this moment."

Hu Yanshou said coldly: "I sent an order to the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case thoroughly, and the whole city will be martial law, and the assassin will be searched for people, and the dead will be seen!"

...

Inn.

After Lin Yanjiang finished explaining the matter, Li Xiuran returned to the room. After being disturbed by the assassin, his previous sleepiness disappeared. He lay on the bed and thought silently, why did the assassin enter the palace to assassinate Emperor Huyan?

First of all, it is impossible to be influenced by him!

The assassin is a cultivation level in the realm of the Heavenly Man, and Emperor Huyan is the king of a country. He has luck, and this little bit of bad luck in him will definitely not reach the level that can affect the two of them...at most it can play a catalytic role.

Assassin must have other motives for assassination!

Does anyone want to rebel? First kill Emperor Huyan, causing civil turmoil in the Huyan Empire, and then take advantage of the troubled waters?

But the Heavenly Realm is already the most powerful master now. Who can ask such a master to work for him?

Or is the assassin having a grudge against Hu Yandi? Does the assassin want to take revenge?

Although the assassin is very strong, this is a capital city, with dragons and tigers hidden. The assassin dares to break into the heavily guarded palace for assassination alone. Isn’t this a bit too tough?

After thinking for a long time, Li Xiuran shook his head helplessly, too lazy to think about it anymore. Anyway, no matter what the assassin's purpose is, it has nothing to do with him. He won't take the blame.

Suddenly, in the originally silent room, the window suddenly creaked, and a black shadow suddenly jumped into the room.

"who?!"

Li Xiuran noticed the abnormality at the first time, suddenly stood up and asked, and at the same time reached out to touch his sword. However, before he could get the knife, a trace of coldness suddenly felt around his neck, and a sword had already been put in front of him.

"Don't make a sound, otherwise you will die!" The black shadow said in a deep voice, his voice hoarse.

Li Xiuran widened his eyes. One was that he was put on his neck with a sword, and he truly felt the threat of death. The other was that he could vaguely see the black shadow in front of him through the moonlight. Isn’t it the assassin who escaped after failing to assassin in the palace just now?

Why did he run here?

The bad luck in him not only cheated others, but also cheated himself when he became cruel?

He was thinking that this matter had nothing to do with him, but the assassin came to the door in a blink of an eye. If someone found out that he had an affair with the assassin, he would jump into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it clearly.

"Open your mouth."

"Hmm? Vomit... Cough cough..." Li Xiuran was stunned. Before he could react, the assassin kicked his lower abdomen directly. Li Xiuran let out a muffled groan in pain, and then the assassin waved his hand. Something suddenly flew into his mouth and reached his throat. He instinctively swallowed it into his abdomen.

Li Xiuran's face changed drastically: "What did you eat for me?"

"Soul-breaking pill, you will definitely die without my antidote. If you want to survive, cooperate with me." The assassin put down his sword and threatened coldly, and suddenly coughed.

It was indeed poison, and... he was injured!

Li Xiuran suddenly remembered that when the assassin fought with Feng Beichen just now, he was indeed hit by a palm. Feng Beichen's cultivation was enough to hurt him. In this case...

Li Xiuran suddenly felt a move in his heart, and then gradually calmed down. The assassin was in the realm of the Heavenly Realm. Not to mention being injured, even if he was only breathing, it would be enough to blow him to death. It would be better to calm down and stop thinking about counter-killing or something.

"What do you want me to cooperate with?"

Before the assassin could speak, a noise suddenly came from the inn.

"After His Majesty's order, everyone comes out for investigation, search for me every room!"

"Who?"

"What's the noise when I just fell asleep?"

"Do you know who I am? How dare you break into my room?"

"I care who you are. Your Majesty's order, can you dare to disobey?"

"snort!"
