Lu Tu shook his head slightly: "Fortune and honor are sought in danger, and lost in danger as well. When you seek them, you have one in ten chance, but when you lose them, you have nine in ten chance."

Xiao Zhong, however, showed no concern whatsoever. Contrary to his usual self, he laughed and said, "My lord, don't worry. Why don't you go home and see your senior sister?"

"Xiaoyu? What happened to her?"

Xiao Zhong smiled knowingly and remained silent. Seeing this, Lü Tu didn't say anything more and got up to go home. He had already done what he needed to do, and now it was up to his opponent to decide what to do.

Upon arriving home, Lü Tu could hear from afar the collective gasps of the women inside: "My goodness, you're amazing!"

Lu Tu poked his head out and peered into the room: "What's so amazing?"

But the next second, he sensed a dangerous aura coming from him, followed by Nangong Huiyu's scolding: "Zhizhi, no!"

A throwing knife shot towards Lü Tu's brow at a tricky angle. Lü Tu quickly dodged, and fortunately, he was a top-notch fighter with superb reflexes, otherwise he would have really died from the throwing knife!

The throwing knife was embedded straight into the door lintel, and the blade was still trembling!

Everyone rushed out in alarm to check on Lü Tu's injuries. After seeing that Lü Tu was alright, they breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took his arm, saying, "Husband, please don't be angry with Zhizhi!"

Lu Tu asked curiously, "Who is Zhizhi?"

At this moment, Nangong Huiyu dragged over a girl with a flushed face and scolded, "Zhizhi, kneel down!"

The girl knelt down in front of Lü Tu without saying a word, and then began to kowtow repeatedly: "I'm sorry, brother-in-law!"

Lu Tu was puzzled upon hearing this: "This...whose sister-in-law is this?"

It's not Lu Tu's fault; he already had too many wives, so when a younger sister-in-law suddenly appeared, he naturally had to ask her questions.

Nangong Huiyu walked over with a embarrassed expression and explained, "Husband, please come inside and let me explain. Didn't I say before that I am the head of the Xuanpin Sect?"

"right."

"Didn't I also mention that I have a junior brother and a junior sister?"

"right."

"Didn't I say my junior sister is an expert in assassination? When are you going to get her to help you?"

"Is that her?"

"Yes, her name is Niu Zhizhi, and she is a top-notch assassin!"

Hiss! Upon hearing this, Lu Tu turned around with some surprise and looked at Niu Zhizhi, who was still kowtowing. At this moment, thin streams of blood had already seeped into the ground.

Lu Tu stepped forward and helped her up, saying, "Junior Sister, don't worry about it. What happened just now was..."

But Niu Zhizhi glared at Lü Tu with an icy expression: "Let go. I should be punished for what I did wrong."

This scene left everyone, including Lü Tu, dumbfounded. When had they ever seen such a bad temper?

If it weren't for Niu Zhizhi's extremely pure and innocent appearance, which was in no way inferior to his four wives, and the fact that she was Nangong Huiyu's junior sister, Lu Tu would have been too lazy to care about her.

Nangong Huiyu sighed softly, then took a deep breath and shouted sternly, "Zhizhi, I order you to stand up and listen to your husband!"

With a whoosh, apart from Lü Tu and Nangong Huiyu, no one else even saw Niu Zhizhi's movements clearly. The next second, she was standing in front of Lü Tu: "Sect Leader, you say it."

Lu Tu: "...Uh, what was I going to say? Don't be so jumpy in the village from now on. If it weren't for my ability to ride a horse in one body, I would have been beheaded long ago."

"Understood."

Nangong Huiyu then explained, "Zhizhi failed in her assassination attempt on the emperor. Later, she fled to Longcheng and met Qin Qianqian and Uncle Fu. That's how she found out about me and came to seek refuge with me. Husband, can we accept Zhizhi?"

"Of course! Putting aside Zhizhi's pride, just the fact that you're her senior sister means she can stay as long as she wants."

Unexpectedly, Niu Zhizhi took the initiative to speak: "Thank you, Brother-in-law!"

Lu Tu waved his hand: "From now on, just call me brother-in-law, no need to add the title of sect leader."

"Yes, brother-in-law."

Lu Tu realized that Nangong Huiyu's master was quite good at choosing disciples back then. What Nangong Huiyu, as the sect leader, needed was control over people's hearts and a sense of the big picture.

Xiao Zhong, on the other hand, traveled extensively to broaden his horizons and was in charge of internal affairs.

Niu Zhizhi, on the other hand, was a natural-born killer. She only obeyed orders and was responsible for taking action, ignoring everything else.

After Lü Tu recounted what had happened that day, Song Yuxi and Jiang Wanyu looked at him nervously, their meaning quite clear.

Lu Tu nodded and said, "I won't let her wander around for the time being, and naturally I won't let her run into you two."

As the daughters of two generals, one a pillar of the state and the other the Minister of War, they had naturally met Zhao Qingyao. If Zhao Qingyao met them, she would naturally guess more things, which would be detrimental to the current situation.

After a moment of thought, Song Yuxi said, "Although Ye Qingyu has placed the princess and Prince Duan under house arrest, he himself has not shown up. This means that he has left himself a way out. If he fails, he can shift the blame to the other members of the Shence Army. After all, he is just a Right Protector."

Wang Miaoling chimed in, "Moreover, his family has held high office for four generations, so they would never dare to rebel in front of the princess and Prince Duan. Therefore, our biggest enemy right now is not him."

Even the usually taciturn Jiang Wanyu nodded and said, "So the place we are most worried about right now is Huai Shuo!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, including Lü Tu, turned their gazes to Nangong Huiyu.

Nangong Huiyu, who was about to nurse the baby, turned around in confusion and asked, "Why are you looking at me? Isn't my junior sister right here? Why don't you just have her go and kill Zhao Wuyou?"

"Huh? Yeah!"

Lu Tu also looked at Niu Zhizhi and said, "Zhizhi, let me make this clear first. I don't doubt your abilities. I just want to see how confident you are."

Niu Zhizhi's pretty face was frosty, and she didn't even lift her eyelids: "Fifty percent certain!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "So tall?"

Nangong Huiyu explained, "That's just my junior sister being modest. She's fifty percent confident in killing Zhao Erwa next door and the current emperor!"

Everyone was speechless: "Then what's the basis for this 50% figure?"

Niu Zhizhi said coldly, "If the target is there, he dies; if the target is not there, I'll leave."

As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of cold light appeared at Niu Zhizhi's fingertips, and without even moving her shoulders or arms, a series of flying needles shot out and hit the wall.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that there were three flies, which Niu Zhizhi had killed with precise flying needles.

Upon seeing this, Lü Tu was overjoyed: "You're amazing, Zhizhi! It's your senior sister's good fortune to have you! Whatever you need to assassinate Zhao Wuyou, just go to the warehouse and get it, Liu Yang!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yang rushed in from outside: "What is it, brother?"

"Take my sister-in-law to the warehouse to get her things!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the two left, Lu Tu's smile remained unchanged, and he couldn't help but give Nangong Huiyu a kiss on the cheek: "By the way, Xiaoyu, who are your junior brothers and sisters? Let them all come and join you, I miss them."
