Jing Zhe also admired Su Limin's shamelessness.

At a time like this, to remain so calm and single-mindedly convinced that one can still live is truly remarkable.

At this moment, Jing Zhe seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "When I first came to Jingzhou, one night I was ambushed in an alley by a group of assassins, do you remember that?"

"..."

Su Limin's pupils contracted, but he still nodded.

Then, Su Limin said, seemingly nonchalantly, "Didn't the investigation reveal that it was an assassin from the Southern Qi faction?"

When Jing Zhe first arrived in Jingzhou, he caught Su Xinping, the heir of the Prince of Jin, bullying Zhang Xiaoyu. Jing Zhe beat him up, which made him famous in Jingzhou.

After this incident, the then Crown Prince Su Lichen hosted a banquet for Jing Zhe, along with Prince Xiang Su Limin and Prince Jin's heir Su Xinping, in order to act as peacemakers and resolve the relationship between Jing Zhe and Su Xinping.

That meal ended badly, and Jing Zhe naturally wouldn't back down to Su Xinping. Su Xinping, the dignified heir of the Prince of Jin, was even less likely to be appeased after being beaten up by a commoner.

So, as soon as Jing Zhe came out of the East Palace and walked into a small alley, he encountered a group of assassins in black. He was already in a life-or-death situation, but fortunately, Liu Jinghong, who came from Liangzhou, arrived just in time, and Jing Zhe was able to save his life.

That was the greatest threat to Jing Zhe's life since he transmigrated, so he still remembers it vividly.

He concluded that the assassins that time were sent by Su Xinping, because later on his way from Jinxi to Liangzhou, he saw the Dark Night Envoy, an organization that was the same as those assassins.

However, he still wanted to verify this with Su Limin.

"Southern Qi? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Jing Zhe looked at Su Limin and sneered, "What, Su Muyu's Dark Envoy has also become a person of Southern Qi?"

"..."

Hearing "Dark Knight" from Jing Zhe's mouth, Su Limin was truly shocked. After all, no one outsiders knew what had happened to Jing Zhe on his way from Jinxi to Liangzhou after the martial arts tournament.

"You...you knew all along?"

What do you think?

Jing Zhe sneered. Before he could ask any further questions, Su Limin hurriedly said, "President Jing, the idea of ​​sending the Dark Envoy to kill you was Su Xinping's own! The people of Jingzhou witnessed you beating him at Zhang's Wine Shop, and he felt he had lost face, so he sent the Dark Envoy to assassinate you!"

Jing Zhe narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Limin with a cold smile.

In fact, after Jing Zhe learned that the assassin who killed him was the Dark Night Envoy under the Prince of Jin, he had already guessed the general idea. It must have been Su Xinping who sent someone to kill him. However, at that time, Su Xinping was very close to Su Limin. In particular, Su Limin had instructed Su Xinping to deal with Jing Zhe because Jing Zhe was closer to Su Lichen at the time.

Therefore, Su Limin definitely knew about the Dark Knight's affair, and there's a high probability that he knew more than just that! It's also possible that he was involved!

Su Xinping immediately said he didn't know, which shows that this guy is full of lies and nothing he said can be trusted!

Of course, Jing Zhe hadn't believed him before. Besides confirming his speculation, the main reason he asked about the Dark Knight was that he had another question in his mind.

"Why did the Prince of Jin only bring a troop of soldiers and generals from Jinxi on this trip? Where are the Dark Knights?"

This is what puzzled him the most.

"All those Nightbringers remained in Jinxi!"

Upon hearing that Jing Zhe was asking about something unrelated to him, Su Limin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, no longer nervous, and blurted out what he had to say.

"Leave them all in Jinxi?"

To be honest, Jing Zhe was still quite puzzled. Besides wondering why all the Dark Night Envoys had stayed in Jinxi, he was also puzzled as to why none of the disciples from Tongtianque had appeared here, since their sect leader had come!

Seeing Jing Zhe's doubt, Su Limin launched into a boastful explanation: "The main reason Prince Jin left all the Dark Knights in Jinxi was to protect his son, Su Xinping! As for the disciples of Tongtianque, it's for the same reason..."

Logically speaking, whether it's the Dark Night Envoys or the disciples of Tongtianque, as the Jin Prince's subordinates, they are the team with the highest martial arts skills and combat power. They should be the ones to follow the Jin Prince in attacking Jingzhou, since their few hundred people may be equivalent to tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers.

However, Su Xinping was unwilling to come to Jingzhou, as if Jingzhou had left too many shadows on him, and he insisted on staying in Jinxi.

Seeing this, the Prince of Jin had no choice. After all, he was his son, and leaving him alone in Jinxi was dangerous. So the safest solution was to keep both the Dark Night Envoy and Tongtianque there, and to have Su Xinping stay in Tongtianque.

Ultimately, Prince Jin was too confident in his and the Qingyang Sect Leader's strength—after all, they were both at the peak of the Grandmaster level, with few rivals in the entire martial world. They didn't feel any pressure dealing with Jing Zhe, so it didn't matter if they left Dark Night Envoy and Tongtianque behind.

Moreover, Prince Jin left the Dark Night Envoy and Tongtianque behind not only to protect Su Xinping, but also for his own selfish reasons.

If his attack goes poorly, or if he encounters any unexpected events along the way, he can return directly to Jinxi. With the Dark Knight and Tongtianque there, his base camp will be safe!

Jing Zhe nodded after listening, thinking to himself that he had almost forgotten about Su Xinping after killing Prince Jin. In the end, he had a grudge against Prince Jin, but he didn't have many opportunities to actually interact with him. However, he had a much deeper connection with Prince Jin's son, Su Xinping. From the moment Jing Zhe entered Jingzhou, he and Su Xinping had been fighting each other—with Jing Zhe winning every time. You could say it was a one-on-one fight...

After the matter in Jingzhou was settled, Jing Zhe felt it was necessary to go to Jinxi, kill Su Xinping, and then wipe out all the remnants of the Dark Night Envoy and Tongtianque!

Seeing Jing Zhe initially frown and ponder, then relax his brows and slowly lower the Emperor's Sword in his hand, Su Limin thought that Jing Zhe had decided not to kill him. His excitement was palpable, and he tentatively asked in a soft voice, "President Jing?"

Jing Zhe was pulled back to reality by Su Limin, and then, under Su Limin's astonished gaze, he raised his arm again, and the Emperor's Sword pointed at Su Limin once more, saying, "Alright, we've said our piece, so I'll send you on your way. Judging by the time it takes, you can still catch up with your elder brother Su Lichen, and you two can keep each other company on the road!"

"..."

Su Limin was so angry he wanted to curse. Why should I keep Su Lichen company? Besides, given how they were blaming each other just now, they had no time to keep each other company except to fight.

Jing Zhe was clearly trying to disgust him!
