Ye Qiu understood Zhao Churan's thoughts perfectly well, but at this moment, Ye Qiu did not want to have any substantial relationship with Zhao Churan.
It wasn't that Ye Qiu wanted to be a scumbag, but the current situation was extremely tense, and the enemies that surfaced were all more terrifying than the last.
The governor, the King of Zhongbei, and after the King of Zhongbei, there may be even more formidable enemies.
He didn't want Zhao Churan to get too deeply involved, after all, future enemies would certainly not spare those around him.
Maintaining the current distance is probably still safe!
Back at Murong Qingcheng's villa, Ye Qiu saw Murong Qingcheng lying on the sofa as usual, lazily scrolling through short videos.
Seeing Ye Qiu return, Murong Qingcheng naturally put down her phone: "Junior brother, where did you go? Did something happen?"
"It's nothing, I just went for a walk outside. By the way, Senior Sister, I'm planning to leave Qianzhou for a few days," Ye Qiu said.
Murong Qingcheng's expression hardened: "You want to go find the King of Zhongbei?"
"Um."
Ye Qiu no longer hid it.
He knew, and couldn't hide it from Murong Qingcheng.
Murong Qingcheng sat up and said seriously, "You can't go to the King of Zhongbei right now. Zhongbei is a place where dragons and tigers hide. More importantly, you shouldn't go and alert him."
Regardless of whether you can suppress the King of Zhongbei, suppose there is a powerful figure behind the King of Zhongbei, and even if you suppress him, the King of Zhongbei would rather die than tell you the truth, then the clues will be completely cut off. Have you thought about that?
After all, those underlings below the King of Zhongbei, such as the former three major families, the prefects, and even the governors, know very little. The governor might know a little, but you can wait and suppress the governor first to find out.
Ye Qiu lowered his head in thought; these words were not without reason.
“Young Master, Third Sister is right. We shouldn’t go to Zhongbei blindly,” Tang Tiantian said seriously.
“I can be patient for now, but I won’t wait too long. Once the governor is killed, I will immediately head to Zhongbei. I cannot give the King of Zhongbei time to make preparations,” Ye Qiu said in a deep voice.
“Okay, I agree with that. What I mean is that we need to prepare in advance and not act blindly,” Murong Qingcheng said.
"good."
Ye Qiu was not stubborn.
We've endured five years already, so there's no rush.
...
That night, the Governor of Qianzhou arrived in Qianzhou by private plane from Zhongbei.
As soon as he got off the plane, Wen Chenggong said to the people around him, "Notify the people of the Cold Blood Hall to act at the opportune moment tonight. I want results before dawn."
"Yes." The secretary beside him said respectfully, "Your Excellency, there is one more thing. You mentioned before, should we still send someone to keep Ye Qiu's ex-girlfriend and her family under control, as a backup plan?"
"The Cold-Blooded Palace has dispatched three Heavenly-level assassins at once this time, which will surely lead to Ye Qiu's death. Controlling the Zhao family is no longer meaningful," Wen Chenggong said calmly.
"Understood, then we'll leave the Zhao family alone," the secretary said with a smile.
“Who said we’re not going to care?” Wen Chenggong narrowed his eyes slightly: “The Zhao family knows that Ye Qiu is opposing me, yet they still choose to stand with Ye Qiu. This is ignoring my existence as the governor. They must be taught a lesson. Send some masked men over there to kill them.”
The secretary perked up: "Yes, sir."
...
As night deepened, Ye Qiu was already feeling a little sleepy.
But just then, the sound of fireworks suddenly came from outside, and it went on and on.
Ye Qiu walked to the window, opened it, and looked out. He saw a group of young people making a ruckus nearby, with fireworks exploding in the air.
Ye Qiu glanced at the time; it was already 2:30 a.m. He subconsciously guessed that there must be some happy occasion taking place, which was why fireworks were being set off in the middle of the night, but he didn't take it to heart.
Just as Ye Qiu was about to close the window, a burst of bullets suddenly burst forth, heading straight for Ye Qiu's face.
The sound of fireworks masked the gunshots, making it difficult for even a master-level expert to react.
But Ye Qiu reacted swiftly, instinctively circulating his inner energy to block the bullet. However, a bullet that had passed through the window still struck Ye Qiu's arm, and blood instantly seeped out.
Ye Qiu frowned, about to retaliate, when two figures suddenly rushed in through the window, gripping gleaming daggers and lunging at Ye Qiu.
With two sharp, hissing sounds, two daggers were precisely embedded in Ye Qiu's chest.
However, the dagger only pierced a little bit, unable to truly reach Ye Qiu's heart, as it was blocked by his protective true energy.
"Huh? How could this be?"
The two assassins were utterly astonished, staring at Ye Qiu in disbelief.
Their daggers are made of special materials that can cut through even stones, and when combined with true qi, they can even pierce steel.
But at this moment, it could not pierce Ye Qiu's heart.
Ye Qiu stared at the two assassins, a cold smile curving his lips: "As assassins, you have already succeeded. Congratulations."
"Walk."
"withdraw."
Without any hesitation, the two assassins turned and tried to escape.
"Since you're here, then stay forever." Ye Qiu sneered, reaching out with both hands to grab the arms of the two assassins.
The two assassins immediately retaliated, turning around and swinging their daggers, viciously stabbing at Ye Qiu's neck.
