“Hiss…it hurts, it hurts!”

"Bear with it." Chang Baicao helped bandage the wound. "It's not a serious injury. Just be careful these few days. It's mainly an internal injury. Remember to take medicine every day."

"Thank you, Uncle Chang."

Chang Baicao just nodded.

He followed Ning Que.

This time they were going to Linzi, so he followed them.

It just so happened that his junior fellow apprentice was in Linzi City.

The two haven't seen each other for more than ten years.

"The one who severely injured you, Uncle Xiong, is Xiong Ke, one of the top assassins in Shenzhou. He'll take any mission, as long as the money's paid. Anyone who approaches him must pay upfront. He's gifted with supernatural powers and exceptional martial arts skills, especially his ability to wield a 120-pound hammer. Furthermore, his inability to feel pain means he's unaffected by any injury. Relying on this ability, he's been able to defeat his enemies numerous times."

“No wonder…”

Ning Que also suddenly realized.

There are killer organizations all over China.

There are even leaderboards.

The higher the ranking, the higher the fee.

Since his debut, Xiong Ke has been ranked in the top ten.

I have carried out many tasks and completed them all successfully.

It would cost at least ten thousand taels of silver to visit him once.

The more difficult the task, the higher the price!

"Junior Brother Lu once encountered him and suffered a minor setback." Shen Qinghe sat beside him and said softly, "Later, I followed Xiong Ke and found out that he had adopted hundreds of orphans in Dashang and had basically given away all the money he earned. It's a pity that he died here this time..."

Ning Que nodded slightly.

Xiong Ke was already dead the moment he accepted the mission.

The price offered must be high.

But that's the way the world is.

Sympathize with Xiong Ke, but who sympathizes with the dead Yu Lin?

As an assassin, he came to kill Emperor Feng. He should have known that regardless of success or failure, he would die. This was also an unwritten rule in the assassin world: the people should not fight against the government.

The power of an individual is too weak.

What’s the use of having great martial arts skills?

To get involved in the world, you need power and background.

Who can withstand thousands of cavalrymen?

So the killers are also very smart.

Try not to engage in conflict with regular troops.

They all do assassination work.

There will never be a head-on confrontation.

If the attack fails, they will flee immediately.

"You'd better be more careful next time."

"Don't you know how to run?"

Ning Que shook his head.

Of course he could run away.

Even getting away with it would be easy.

But at that time, we had to protect Emperor Feng.

There are restrictions everywhere.

It's good enough if I can only get a minor injury.

It was thanks to Manager Hu that he arrived in time with his men.

"Xiao Ning, are you okay now?"

"Royal brother."

Ning Que stood up immediately.

Emperor Feng smiled and gestured for him to sit down.

"There's no need for us, brothers, to be so polite."

"Thank goodness you helped me this time."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid..."

"This is what my brother should do."

Ning Que just smiled faintly.

This time Emperor Feng’s performance was quite good.

Killed several assassins who attacked him.

Holding the Taia sword, he refused to give an inch.

It can be seen that he has not neglected his martial arts over the years.

In terms of martial arts, he is definitely stronger than Gu Yuan!

I'm afraid no one knows that Emperor Feng has such ability!

Seeing that the two had something to say, Shen Qinghe consciously raised her hand to take her leave. Emperor Feng didn't care too much and said with a smile: "There is no need to avoid suspicion, sister-in-law. We are all family. What Xiaoning knows, you will know too."

"Thank you, my royal brother."

"What do you think of this tonight, Xiao Ning?"

"This group of assassins are no ordinary people. Some of them are well-known killers. With Changge's financial resources, it is impossible for her to do this. She must have someone behind the scenes supporting her!"

"Yes, I think so too." Emperor Feng nodded in agreement and sighed, "At the beginning, I took care of our royal blood and asked someone to spare her life. I didn't expect that she would hate me so much. She believed the rumors and wanted to assassinate me. I don't want to kill her, but I have no choice!"

"This is the path Changge chose himself."

Ning Que also sighed.

In terms of seniority, Changge should call him cousin.

This girl is quirky and very likable.

It's a pity that I chose to go down this path...

Ning Que knew how uncomfortable Emperor Feng was feeling.

But Emperor Feng had no choice.

He must give an explanation to everyone.

Treason is a capital crime!

No one is exempted!

It was a mistake to let Ning Changge go in the first place!

"Who do you think did it?"

"I'm afraid it can only be him..."

Ning Que didn't speak directly.

But you can figure this out if you think about it.

First, he had to be fully aware of the Emperor's itinerary, including the deployment of troops. He also had to have sufficient financial resources to support Changge in recruiting assassins. Financially, this would likely require over 100,000 taels of silver, something not easily attainable by ordinary people!

Who else could it be besides Tian Zhongxun?

Emperor Feng's eyes turned cold.

He thought the same.

He was already polite to the king of a different surname.

Even if we were to reduce the power of the vassal states, we wouldn't intend to shed blood and kill them, considering their contributions. But the King of Qi was so bold that he actually dared to send someone to assassinate him. He must not be allowed to stay!

…

After the assassination incident, no one could sleep any more. The most unlucky person was Sima Ao, who had originally had a very good political record, but the assassin appeared.

That's right, this has nothing to do with him.

But he was wrong for not taking precautions in advance!

The laws in Dafeng are strict, and the officials are even stricter!

There is no need to find any reasons or excuses.

Because Dafeng’s rewards and punishments are based on results.
