"Haha, you have quite a temper."

When Chu Yi heard her say this, he became even more curious.

"Assassinating the emperor is a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan. Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you and bring you to justice?"

Faced with the threat, Xiao Ling lost his temper for a moment, thought for a moment, and simply taunted:

"I've heard that Lord Chu is the greatest traitor in Anguo, a thorn in the emperor's side. I never expected what I saw today to be even more absurd. Lord Chu has even taken over the emperor's palace. I don't believe someone like you would tell the emperor that!"

"If you dare to bathe in the emperor's bath today, will you rebel tomorrow? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I dare not even think about it..."

Chu Yi: “…”

This little girl, although she is pretty, has a very sharp tongue.

However, he was surprised to see that the female assassin in front of him recognized him.

"You didn't recognize me just now, how do you know I'm Master Chu now?"

Chu Yi looked at her curiously and asked with a smile.

Xiao Ling rolled her eyes at him, still too lazy to say anything more, "Humph, I guessed."

"Good! Well said. I am very satisfied with your answer!"

Chu Yi clapped his hands in encouragement, and suddenly his expression became serious again.

"Zizhuo, capture this assassin!"

Just as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared outside. It was Xu Zizhuo, the master who usually guarded Chu Yi closely.

"what you do?"

Xiao Ling was also shocked. She was worried that her identity would be exposed at any time and wanted to run away.

But she was no match for Xu Zizhuo. Xu Zizhuo raised his hand and snatched the sword from Xiao Ling's waist, then blocked Xiao Ling's escape route with his whole body.

Chu Yi came over and grabbed her wrist with one hand.

Xiao Ling wanted to struggle, but she heard Chu Yi come up to her side and whisper, "I admire you very much. We can't stay here for long. Let's find a good place first, and then we can discuss cooperation!"

appreciate?

cooperate?

Xiao Ling was a little confused when she heard this, but she soon realized something and her heart couldn't help but beat violently again.

What does the traitor Chu Yi want to do?

Could it be that his Chu family really intends to take advantage of this autumn hunt to rebel and usurp the throne?

For a moment, Xiao Ling's heart was full of questions. Faced with Chu Yi's so-called "cooperation", she suddenly came up with a thrilling plan.

"Why should I trust you?"

Seeing that she took the bait, Chu Yi didn't say much, just smiled slightly.

"You can refuse, or I will get rid of you right now."

Xiao Ling: “…”

The matter was of great importance, and faced with Chu Yi's cold-blooded methods, she ultimately did not dare to reveal her identity.

Because of this accidental incident, Chu Yi had no intention of taking a bath, but instead took Xiao Ling back.

Except for some officials who were serving in the capital, the rest of them came here for the autumn hunt.

Because Chu Yi had his own abilities, he chose a small mansion on the hillside of Changlian Mountain to settle down.

It was not until Xiao Ling saw Chu Yi again that she was very surprised to find that this traitor really had the intention of cooperating with her?

She was really puzzled. Was her performance really that good? Did Chu Yi really believe in her acting skills?

Back at the residence, there were only two people left in the room, and Chu Yi got straight to the point:

"Now I want to know, who are you and why did you want to assassinate the dog emperor?"

Xiao Ling glanced at Chu Yi and knew that he had to reveal his identity.

After hesitating for a moment, she explained in a low voice, "My name is Chen Tang. I assassinated the emperor to seek revenge."

At the end, even in order to make Chu Yi more convinced, there was a hint of disgust in her tone.

As for Chen Tang's identity, Xiao Ling had thought about it carefully for a long time along the way.

Chen Tang is a member of the Shen family.

After hearing these answers, Chu Yi was silent for a moment.

"The Shen family... I'm somewhat familiar with them. Are you talking about the Shen family whose entire family was exiled during the reign of Emperor Yin?"

Although the period of Emperor Yin was a long time ago, he was still familiar with it as the Minister of Personnel.

After all, the Ministry of Justice is his own, and he is familiar with some major cases in Da'an.

As for Lord Shen Shu, he was convicted of corruption and abuse of power, and ended up with the Shen family being exiled.

They say it is corruption, but in fact these are just false charges.

For Shen Shu, who served as the chief minister of the cabinet, he was implicated and convicted of a serious crime because of party disputes.

Xiao Ling nodded, and a hint of sadness appeared on her face, which was so eye-catching that it was hard to look away.

Chu Yi was curious, "...What is your relationship with Elder Shen Shu?"

"Lord Shen... is my grandfather." Xiao Ling explained.

Since she had already assumed Chen Tang's identity, she might as well keep pretending.

This name was naturally chosen by her at random. When Shen Shu fell, the Shen family was very powerful and had too many descendants to count.

It's normal for a cabinet minister to have a granddaughter who wants to avenge her family, right?

She also believed that Chu Yi did not have the means to investigate this matter thoroughly.

Chu Yi nodded after hearing this, but was half-believing and half-doubting the identity Xiao Ling said.

But he pretended to believe what they said.

"The Shen family's fate is indeed tragic. If you were his granddaughter, it would not be easy to survive..."

Seeing that Xiao Ling didn't answer, Chu Yi was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you are willing, I can redress the injustice of your Shen family and even help you achieve your revenge."
