Lin's father, who participated in the apocalyptic battle of the Corpse Demon Disaster, is an old soldier.

Although he had been a bit slack in the past ten years, the danger instinct he had developed on the battlefield was still there.

The murderous intent just now was so strong that he wanted to kill himself immediately. He would definitely not be wrong!

Father Lin secretly called the person in charge of the intelligence network around him and asked him to investigate the person who had just followed Jiang Jie.

Soon, a simple piece of information appeared on his case.

Jiang Ling, from the side branch of the Jiang family, entered the imperial guard training camp at the age of six. Five years ago, he served as the commander of Jiang Jie's guards. Because he failed to rescue the emperor in time last time, he was demoted. He is currently the deputy commander of Jiang Jie's guards.

The resume is very simple, but the person is not simple!

Thinking of Jiang Ling’s murderous intention, Lin’s father felt uneasy!

"Keep checking!"

Father Lin ordered!

Father Lin would never have thought that such a simple instruction would lead to an amazing discovery in an instant!

Two days later, Sun had arrived and the martial arts performance was about to begin.

The person in charge of the intelligence network specifically reported to him: "Master, it's the secret guard! Jiang Ling must be a high-ranking member of the secret guard! We lost several good people in the investigation, and can only confirm his identity at this level!"

"Secret guards!" Father Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Good! Good! Good! I didn't expect them to repeat their old tricks! Did they think that after the disaster of the corpse demons, no one would remember what happened back then? I chose to endure and give in, but I didn't expect that they would assassinate me! How brave!"

Thinking of the secret guard's openly concealed murderous intention towards him, how arrogant and ironic it was, he just wanted to execute him on the spot in broad daylight.

This is the Jiang family he has been loyal to for more than 20 years!

Is this the reward I got?

Father Lin was furious for a while, and then began to make arrangements.

Father Lin is not without strength. A person without strength will naturally not allow himself to be killed.

Even if Jiang Jie advances to the combat school, he will fight back!

Even if he died, he wanted to let his son escape such a fate!

…

Jiang Ling was so angry when he saw the record of another failed assassination attempt by the secret guard!

Which one is this?!

According to the previous records of the secret guards, it was a very simple matter to assassinate the nobles on the list at the martial arts training grounds of the two places, right?

Why is it so difficult for him to become the chief?

Only one-third of the targets on the list were successfully assassinated.

Moreover, the assassination death rate was so high, as if they had been prepared for it.

Under the pincer attack from Sun and his own secret guards, he only killed one-third of his target persons, and almost all the secret guards who were carrying out the mission were wiped out.

If there is no problem with this, then that would be crazy!

Jiang Ling shuddered. He couldn't cover up such a big mistake!

He glanced at Lin's father, whom he was in charge of. So far, he had arranged two assassinations, but both ended in failure.

"I need a scapegoat, and it's you!"

After figuring out how to deal with it, Jiang Ling calmed down and ran towards the lord's tent with a look of fear on his face.

After listening to Jiang Ling's report, Jiang Jie asked coldly, "Are you saying that the purge plan carried out by your secret guards has been exposed by the Lin family, and that they set up a counter-attack to kill many of you?!"

"Yes! I am incompetent and deserve to die!" Jiang Ling shouted in panic.

Jiang Jie was really angry.

The secret guards have been carrying out such missions for many years and have never made any mistakes. Why did something go wrong when it came to him?

He used to be disgusted with such assassination plans, but after Gu's group arrived, the first thing the old lord did after his resurrection was to purge the "Thirty-Six Oath-bearers".

I regret so much for being soft-hearted back then!

This scene will be unforgettable for Jiang Jie for the rest of his life!

So, after coming back and looking at this assassination plan again, I understood the old lord’s intention!

Although he had succeeded to the throne and was in power, the nobles were still loyal to the old lord, and it was really difficult to use them.

Therefore, the nobles in certain key positions had to find ways to make them "die" and give up their positions to people who were loyal to him.

Usually this person is the other party's designated heir. After thinking it through, Jiang Jie didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this!

You see, the heir hasn’t changed, the family is still glorious, and he still follows the rules!

Jiang Jie didn’t understand why the nobles before him were assassinated obediently, but when it came to his generation, they couldn’t just “die” obediently?

"My Lord, what should we do now?"

what to do?

what to do?!

Jiang Jie kicked Jiang Ling away.

"What should I do?! It has come to this, and you are asking me what to do? Am I the lord, or are you the lord?! Trash!"

Jiang Jie paced around the commander's tent angrily.

Understand, if you don’t do this, then don’t do it. But if you do it, you must do it to the end!

After taking a look at this useless Jiang Ling, he decided to make use of the waste!

Jiang Jie asked Jiang Ling to come over and told him his plan.

Jiang Ling was terrified.

"This, this, my lord, regarding this matter, I, I..."

"Why, you can't do it?"

Looking at Jiang Jie's expressionless face, Jiang Ling knew that he had the intention to kill. He felt sad and knew that he had to do it.

However, this matter is a life-or-death situation!

Even if I succeed, I can no longer be the chief leader of the secret guards!

Jiang Ling was quite decisive and immediately said, "I will do it! But if I do this, I'm afraid I can no longer serve as the chief of the secret guards. Please take it back, my lord."

Jiang Jie was still very satisfied with Jiang Ling's understanding.

"Well, you choose a successor, hand over the affairs, and make the proper plans. Don't worry, I won't let you down when it comes to meritorious officials!"

The subtext is, go ahead and die!

Although Jiang Ling had already guessed this result, he still felt sad.

However, this was the last bit of benefit he could get for himself!

Jiang Ling thanked him and left.

Jiang Jie had a personal guard with him, staring at Jiang Ling.

…

After Jiang Ling was abandoned, he finally understood the helplessness and sadness of the nobles on the abandoned list.

However, Jiang Jie was his lord, the head of his family, his overlord, and a powerful military commander. How could he resist when Jiang Jie asked him to "die"!

Jiang Ling presided over the last meeting of the leaders of the secret guards.

He explained the next course of action and designated the successor chief from among several leaders.

This person is his confidant!

He thought, if there was a glimmer of hope, he could also have someone to rely on! A stick to lean on!

So after the meeting, the new chief was specifically asked to stay behind to take over and give final instructions.

Half an hour later, the successor to the chief of the secret guards left Jiang Ling's tent, thought for a moment, then turned and ran to Jiang Jie's tent to report on his work.

Jiang Jie looked at the new chief of the secret guards with satisfaction as he reported everything to him in detail, and nodded with satisfaction.
