At this moment, in a room upstairs in Fenghua Building, Chen Anyun was sitting on a stool calmly, drinking and eating meat slowly.
Hearing the noise outside, he was not surprised at all.
At this moment, I glanced out the window and saw a noodle stall in the distance, but there was no one there.
Fuyu and Yuli stood beside them.
Chen An suddenly spoke up: "Yu Li, I asked you to pay attention to the people around you just now. Did you find anything?"
Yu Li nodded and said, "Before, remember, there were a total of 23 people entering Fenghua Tower. There were 56 other passers-by passing by. There were also eight customers at the noodle stall. Besides Xing'er and Xie Huayu, the six customers and the stall owner could all be the same person."
After saying that, Yu Li blinked and couldn't help asking, "You deliberately had Xie Huayu distracted just to lure the assassin out so you could talk to Xing'er, right?"
Chen An smiled faintly, drank a glass of wine, and then spoke: "Xing'er is very simple. The assassin must have known the people around me, so he naturally wanted to start with her. She is the assassin's best guiding light. But... did you notice that there was an acquaintance at the noodle stall just now!"
Yu Li frowned: "An acquaintance? I seem to have some impression of him!"
"Last time at Gu Qingyi's place, this guy named Mo Rang was sent here by Xing'er for treatment."
Yu Li suddenly remembered: "It was him, but he ate the noodles and left!"
"So, is there any way you can test him and see if he's one of the assassins?"
"Yes, I will keep an eye on this person!" Yu Li nodded.
Right now!
A woman's cry came from next door.
In a moment!
Fuyu was like a bull, crashing into the wall and making a big hole.
Suddenly, I saw an old man in black next door holding Li Qingqing's neck with his hands, staring fiercely at Fu Yu and Yu Li who were rushing over.
The old man in black laughed grimly: "Yu Li, Fu Yu, you two traitors, sooner or later you will pay the price!"
Yu Li and Fu Yu did not say anything. They had already become traitors, and there was no point in saying anything.
Chen An walked out of the hole in the wall and looked at the old man in black: "Noodle stall owner, you have such skills, why are you an assassin?"
The old man in black saw Chen An, his eyes became fierce: "Chen An, you are lucky this time!"
"Chen An, Your Majesty... please save me!" Li Qingqing was already frightened out of her wits.
When she heard it was Chen An, she knew the emperor's name.
The old man in black chuckled and said, "How could your emperor let me go just for a brothel girl like you!"
"You didn't kill her right away, which means you still held out some hope. Now you're resorting to such a cheap trick to provoke her. Do you think you can survive even if you're exposed?"
Chen An looked at the old man in black with interest.
The old man in black had a ferocious expression on his face: "Do you think I'm as afraid of death as these two traitors?"
At this time, Chen An looked at the old man in black, and he could not feel the old man's cultivation energy.
If it weren't for this situation, Chen An probably wouldn't have believed that this old man who looked honest and simple, as if life had worn down his edge, was the king-level assassin of the Dragon Palace.
Chen An was calm and composed, and said with a smile: "You may not be afraid of death, but as long as you can live, you will definitely not want to die!"
"What a joke! As a king-level assassin from Dragon Palace, I have long disregarded life and death!" The old man's eyes were cold.
"Then why didn't you kill this woman without leaving any way out, and then come and fight me to the death?"
Chen An's lips curled up slightly: "You are still leaving a way out for yourself. Since you have left a way out, you still don't want to die subconsciously, so, sit down and let's talk!"
The old man's eyes flashed with ferocity: "What do you want to discuss with me? The Dragon Palace's King-level bounty order cannot be revoked, and you will eventually die in the successive assassinations!"
"I won't talk about my life anymore. Whoever can take it can take it. Now, what I want to discuss with you is your life!"
The old man frowned: "You might let me go?"
"We can talk about a deal!" Chen An smiled.
The old man snorted coldly: "I would rather die than be a traitor!"
Chen An smiled calmly and said, "I don't need you to be a traitor, and I don't expect to learn anything from you!"
"What do you mean?" The old man frowned, and his hand pinching Li Qingqing's neck loosened a little.
"If you surrender and come with me, I won't kill you. When the time is right, I will release you and tell the people in charge of your Dragon Palace that I will pay three times the price for your head!"
"Whose head?" the old man said with a stern expression.
"Put a bounty on my killer!" Chen An said calmly, "Don't you think it's a good thing for both you and me?"
Yu Li hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, once the Dragon Palace accepts a bounty against Your Majesty, it will no longer accept bounties from Your Majesty!"
Chen An glared at Yu Li and said, "What do you know? I believe that money makes the world go round!"
"What are you talking about?" Yu Li was puzzled.
Chen An didn't explain. He looked at the old man in black with a smile and said, "How about it, are you interested? Not only can you survive, but you can also get the reward and report back. I believe that between double and triple the reward, there will always be people with insight who will make the right choice!"
"What if the Dragon Palace leader doesn't agree?" The old man in black frowned, seeming to be tempted.
Chen An smiled and said, "I will give you a 30% deposit first. Whether you agree or not is up to the head of your Dragon Palace!"
"Is that true?" The old man in black's eyes lit up!
"Of course it's true!"
