Li Lanzhen looked at the person lying on the ground, then at Xue Bao.

She silently apologized to herself.

With a single chop to the neck, Xue Bao was knocked unconscious.

As Xue Bao fainted, he looked at Li Lanzhen with a puzzled expression before slowly closing his eyes.

Li Lanzhen immediately threw the two of them into the space, and then she went into the space herself.

At the same time, the door to the main room was kicked open.

The government officials and soldiers rushed in, ransacking the place, smashing cabinets and tables with a clatter.

"Reporting, Captain, we haven't found him!"

The captain walked around the two rooms and saw that neither of them had a back window.

"That's strange! Could it have gone underground?"

"Captain! Look, there's a pool of blood here. The assassin must have entered this house!"

The soldier next to him said, "We didn't even know the assassin had entered this house! The problem is, where is he? Did he just fly away?"

A group of soldiers, completely bewildered, wandered aimlessly around the house.

After Li Lanzhen and the other two entered the space, she discovered that Xue Bao was also lying unconscious next to the man in black.

She sat on the grass, wondering what the situation was like outside.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that he couldn't see or hear anything outside from this space.

If there were a window in this space, that would be great, so I could observe the outside at any time and hear the sounds outside, instead of waiting in the space like a deaf and blind person.

With that thought in mind, she lay down on the lawn, her face up.

Suddenly, a scene appeared before them: soldiers carrying torches, aimlessly wandering around the house. Soldiers carrying swords...

It startled her!

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that a window had indeed appeared in her space!

The activities of the group of officers and soldiers inside the room can be clearly seen from the window.

Li Lanzhen chuckled happily.

"System, thank you so much! Did my wish come true? That's wonderful!"

She decided to stay lying down and see what the soldiers were up to!

The soldiers had made a complete mess of the main room and bedrooms. Li Lanzhen was furious, but seeing them running around like headless flies and not being able to find anyone, she found it funny.

"Captain, we can't find the assassin. What should we do? We won't be able to explain ourselves when we get back."

Another man, who looked like a minor leader, said, "Not only can we not complete our mission, but the Emperor's brother-in-law is also taking his anger out on our captain. Damn it!"

The captain, who was in charge, swung his sword and cleaved the table in two with a snap.

"What a load of bull! He thinks he's some kind of imperial brother-in-law just because the emperor is far away, so he acts like he's the emperor's brother-in-law and swaggering around here!"

He has absolutely no relation to the current empress!

A soldier nearby muttered, "Why didn't the assassin kill him with a single blow!"

The captain turned around, glared at him, and kicked him in the leg.

He snapped, "You can think it in your heart, but do you want us all beheaded by saying it out loud?!"

The leader continued, "The assassin was ruthless. Knowing there were guards inside, he still rushed in. It was only because the emperor's brother-in-law was spared that he was killed. I heard that when the assassin stabbed him, the emperor's brother-in-law, who was drunk, just rolled over, so the sword didn't hit his heart. It only severed his arm, but even so, he was bleeding profusely."

"That's right! The Imperial Uncle lost his right hand, so he arrested all the doctors in the city and brought them to the government office. He said that if none of them could set his broken arm, he would kill all of their families!"

Upon hearing this, Li Lanzhen felt utterly disgusted with this pretentious and ruthless imperial brother-in-law!

What a bastard! He followed his mother into someone else's household, becoming a burden to a second wife and stepmother, and he still doesn't know how to behave. Not only does he bully the legitimate daughter with his mother all day long, but he also bullies the eldest son!

They didn't even realize they were usurping the throne, and now they shamelessly act like the emperor's brother-in-law, swaggering around and harming the people in Youzhou!

Li Lanzhen grew angrier the more she thought about it. She sat up abruptly and turned to look at the masked man in black beside her.

He kicked him and said, "You're a clumsy idiot, and your martial arts aren't much better. You stabbed him with your sword, but you didn't even hit his heart. You only cut off his arm. Why didn't you aim for his neck? You could have just chopped his head off!"

Li Lanzhen muttered for a long time, but the man in black remained oblivious, lying there unconscious!

Li Lanzhen ripped off the cloth from the masked man in black.

I was shocked by what I found!

"hiss!!"

Because this person's face was not only pockmarked, but the colors were also different, blackish-red and pinkish skin, which clearly showed signs of being burned.

However, it's clear that this man in black is quite handsome and not very old, probably around sixteen or seventeen.

What a pity!

It seems this man in black has some deep-seated grudge against the emperor's brother-in-law, which is why he would risk his own safety to venture into a den of wolves and tigers to assassinate him!

As a result, he was covered in injuries but managed to escape death!

Fortunately, he met me; otherwise, he would have already been dragged back to the government office and subjected to all sorts of torment by the emperor's brother-in-law.

Li Lanzhen sighed, then covered the man in black's face with the black cloth and tied the strap behind his head.

He turned his head and looked at the window in front of him.

Li Lanzhen discovered that the window could be moved along with her.

No matter where you stand in space, the window is always in front of you.

At this moment, the group of soldiers came to the courtyard again and searched everywhere in the few rooms. They looked like they wanted to dig three feet into the ground, but they couldn't find anyone and were very frustrated.

Li Lanzhen chuckled coldly. It seemed she would have to go to the government office today to meet this imperial brother-in-law.

You survived a great calamity? Well, today I'll make sure you don't have any good fortune left!

Even if it's just to avenge the current empress.

Hehe, of course, it's also true that I went to the government office to collect a batch of supplies.

With that in mind, she continued to observe the group of officers and soldiers.

Just then, three more people ran in.

"Captain, we haven't found the assassin anywhere."

What's the situation here?

The captain said, "There's nothing going on, and there's no sign of an assassin in this courtyard."

The captain ordered: "Notify the guards at the city gate to thoroughly check everyone entering and leaving. If any man is found with knife wounds on his chest, back, and both arms, arrest him immediately!"

He then said to another squad leader, "Take a team and go check all the clinics in the prefectural city. If you find any men with knife wounds, arrest them all and take them to the prefectural government office."

After saying that, the captain waved his hand and said, "Dismissed, back to the government office!"

Li Lanzhen watched them all leave. As the team leader was leaving the hospital, he suddenly turned around and looked straight at Li Lanzhen, seemingly lost in thought.

Li Lanzhen was startled and leaned back slightly.

He cursed inwardly, "Who are you trying to scare with your eyes so wide open in the dead of night?!"
