Chapter 214: Report Him

Lu Chenyang went back to rest, and Yan Xing and Zhao Xi came back two hours later.

Lu Chenyang attentively poured a cup of tea for the two of them. "Alright, alright, don't be angry. I guess that person is impatient again. This time it's my fault. I was careless. I won't do it again." He thought for a moment and said, "We'll set off tomorrow."

Zhao Xi immediately retorted in dissatisfaction: "How can you blame the lord?! What does the lord have to do with it?"

Yan Xing also said: "Zhao Xi is right, the ones who made the mistake are the bad guys, you did nothing wrong."

Lu Chenyang said, "I think these assassins learned about my close interactions with refugees in Ningzhou, so they used the same method to get close to me." He looked at the two of them and asked, "Did the girl confess?"

Yan Xingdao said, "The girl is a local and must have been brought here temporarily. The man gave her a full meal and said that if she could do it, he would give her chicken legs every day. The girl was young and didn't know much, so she believed him."

Zhao Xi said coldly, "You're so vicious at such a young age. You're a born bad boy."

"How did you deal with her?" Lu Chenyang asked.

Zhao Xi said, "Of course he killed her." She said as a matter of course, "At such a young age, he dared to kill for a chicken leg. I'm afraid he will betray his country when he grows up!"

After Zhao Xi finished speaking, he knew that Lu Chenyang had always been kind-hearted, and was afraid that he would be soft-hearted, so he hurriedly said: "Sir, you won't feel sorry for her, right?"

Lu Chenyang shook his head: "She's about to kill me, how can I feel sorry for her? You're right."

Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief. A born bad kid like this cannot be taught well, so the problem should be dealt with as soon as possible while she is still young.

Zhao Xi was worried that Lu Chenyang was still thinking about the dead girl, so she said sternly, "Sir, don't take it personally. This is all her own fault. It's all her own fault. Under extreme circumstances, any bad thing can be excusable, but she, a little girl, is one of the few who dares to take up a knife and kill someone. Don't blame yourself for such a person, she doesn't deserve it." She thought for a moment and said, "You once told me not to forgive someone's mistakes because of their age or gender. She did something wrong and received the punishment she deserved. You must not blame yourself because of her."

Lu Chenyang looked at her and couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Xi said anxiously, "Sir, please speak."

Seeing how cute she was, Lu Chenyang loved her so much that he couldn't help but poke her soft cheek.

"You've already said everything, what else do you want me to say? You are right, of course I have to listen to you. I don't take it to heart." Lu Chenyang said in a gentle voice.

The more Lu Chenyang thought about it, the more he felt that what she had just said was absolutely right. He couldn't help but praise her: "My Zhaoxi is really getting smarter and wiser."

Zhao Xi liked Lu Chenyang praising her. Her chubby face turned red like an apple, and she felt shy and happy.

Yan Xing: “…”

He felt that he shouldn't be in the room, that he should be under the table.

Zhao Xi said, "Your Excellency was frightened today. I will go make you a bowl of soothing soup."

Lu Chenyang couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so delicate? I don't...Okay, then I'll have to work hard to attract Xi."

Zhao Xi went there in a hurry.

Zhao Xi believed Lu Chenyang was indeed not afraid, but someone trying to assassinate him would affect even the most resolute person. Zhao Xi didn't want Lu Chenyang to worry about a dead girl, so she promised to give him a bowl of tranquilizer so that he could sleep peacefully.

Yan Xing said, "Okay, I'm going back too. I don't think you need me for this."

Lu Chenyang thought to himself, why are they still being upset?

As soon as Zhao Xi left, Tan Feng came back.

"Young Master, the assassin's body has been sent to County Magistrate Li." said Tan Feng.

Lu Chenyang didn't know that Yan Xing had done this, so he didn't say anything.

Yan Xing snorted coldly and said, "What did he say?"

This incident happened under his jurisdiction, so he had to give Lu Chenyang an explanation. Moreover, the girl was from this county, so she was definitely related to him.

Tan Feng said with disdain, "I was almost scared to death. With such a small amount of courage, you dare to provoke my master? He almost couldn't stand when he saw the little girl's body."

Yan Xingdao said, "Keep an eye on him. Although he's not a good official, he doesn't have the guts to assassinate your master. I'm afraid the person behind this is asking him for help, and he's taking advantage of the situation. Now that something's wrong, keeping an eye on him might help us catch the person behind this."

They all knew that the assassin was sent by Emperor Qianyuan. But with so many assassins, did they really think Lu Chenyang had no temper? As long as they could capture Emperor Qianyuan's men, it would be a warning to him.

Tan Feng glanced at Lu Chenyang, who nodded, "Just do as the prince says." A fierce look flashed in his eyes, "You're even taking advantage of children. You simply have no bottom line!"

Tan Feng took the order and left.

Yan Xing looked at Lu Chenyang, "What are you going to do about this?"

Lu Chenyang knew Yan Xing was asking about his plans to strike back at Emperor Qianyuan. Although he had Tan Feng send someone to keep an eye on Magistrate Li, Magistrate Li was only a minor figure, and it was uncertain whether the person behind the scenes would contact him again.

Will Lu Chenyang just let it go like this?

Lu Chenyang said calmly, "If we can catch him, that would be great. If not, I will report him to the bastard official."

Yan Xing raised an eyebrow: "Report him? On what charge?"

Lu Chenyang said seriously, "Of course it's the murder of an imperial official! I've been so frightened, I want to see how your Majesty is going to appease me."

A smile flashed in Yan Xing's eyes, "Are you bad?"
