Guo Huan looked at him coldly, took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his hands, and left expressionlessly.

Lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder roared, the dark clouds were torn apart, and heavy rain poured down.

Qin Canglan looked at the bean-sized raindrops, and his eyes gradually became blurred.

Huayin...

I'm coming to see you...

"Look! There's someone over there!"

"Who is it?"

"Go and have a look!"

Several passers-by rushed over in the rain.

"Someone was killed!"

"He is wearing armor. Is he a military officer of the imperial court?"

"He's lost so much blood... Is there any hope? Send him to the hospital immediately!"

"It's too late. I'm out of breath..."

In the darkness, a man in blue clothes and wearing a bamboo hat walked over.

"What happened?" he asked a young man who passed by him.

The young man said, "There's a man killed over there! He seems to be a general from the imperial court! Alas, these days, even the capital has become a lawless place..."

Imperial Observatory.

Sikong Yun stood on the observatory in the attic, looking at the precarious capital city.

"Master."

A disciple came over with an umbrella and held it above his head: "It's raining heavily, can you please go in?"

Sikong Yun put his hands behind his back, looked at the dark rainstorm, and murmured: "The light of the general star... is completely gone."

The disciple seemed to understand: "Master, are you looking at the stars? It's raining, of course we can't see the stars."

Sikong Yun was stunned and said, "It's not because of the rain that the general fell. It's because the general fell that the world mourned."

"Master Supervisor! Master Supervisor! Something big has happened!"

The chief clerk of the Imperial Observatory climbed up the seven-story tower in one breath, gasping for breath, "The old Protector of the Country... was assassinated!"

Sikong Yun closed his eyes in pain.

After Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao learned that Guo Huan had escaped, they immediately mounted their horses and rushed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

They sped along in the heavy rain.

"Take the shortcut!" said Wei Ting.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded! Wei Ting tightened the reins and turned sharply, rushing into the alley on the right.

Su Xiaoxiao followed closely.

If it weren't for the rigorous training during these days, most people would not be able to drive at high speed in the rain.

Relying on his amazing five senses, Wei Ting took Su Xiaoxiao through the storm.

Finally, they arrived at the alley a hundred steps east of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

This place had already been surrounded by officials from Jingzhao Prefecture and common people who came to join in the fun.

The two men dismounted and squeezed into the crowd with cold expressions.

"What are you doing? Stop pushing! Move back!" an officer shouted.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed him away and walked towards Qin Canglan.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

The officer was about to arrest Su Xiaoxiao, and Wei Ting showed the token of Wu'an Prefecture: "Wei Ting."

The official's face changed, and he bowed quickly and saluted: "Master Wei!"

Wei Ting also walked over.

Qin Canglan was seriously injured and no one dared to move him easily. A doctor passing by knelt in the rain to check Qin Canglan's injuries.

He shook his head regretfully: "It's too late to save her. Prepare for your afterlife."

"Get out of the way." Su Xiaoxiao said.

The doctor turned around and saw a little girl caught in the rain. He said earnestly, "Girl, don't make trouble. Go home quickly."

Su Xiaoxiao: "I said, get out of the way!"

The doctor and the officer beside him were about to scold her, but they were frightened by the sudden murderous look in her eyes. Those eyes seemed not to belong to a living person, and just looking at them made people shudder.

The doctors and the officials stepped aside in a daze.

Su Xiaoxiao squatted down.

Wei Ting took the umbrella from the officer and held it over her and Qin Canglan's heads.

At the same time, his eyes fell on the dagger on Qin Canglan's chest.

"It's Guo Huan..."

It was the one that Guo Huan's sixth brother had given him on his seventeenth birthday! This was a naked provocation from Guo Huan.

He was telling Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao: Look, it was me who killed Qin Canglan!

At this point, everything is clear.

Captain Chen and Guo Huan have different missions. Captain Chen's mission is to assassinate Emperor Jingxuan, while Guo Huan's mission is to assassinate Qin Canglan.

Guo Huan has been detained in a separate courtyard for the past few days. It is impossible for him to have contact with the White Lotus Sect during this period. It can be inferred that he had already received the task of assassinating Qin Canglan before he was captured.

Captain Chen was unaware of Guo Huan's mission, but Guo Huan must have known Captain Chen.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to calculate the timing so accurately.

The fact that the White Lotus Sect was able to find Guo Huan means that Su Li was exposed.

Wei Ting had a bold guess in his mind as to how Su Li was exposed.

In addition, Wei Ting had a bigger question in his mind - how did the White Lotus Sect find that villa? In a flash, countless thoughts flashed through Wei Ting's mind.

Su Xiaoxiao felt Qin Canglan's pulse and then lay on his chest to listen to his heartbeat.

There is no pulse, and I can't hear the heartbeat...

"I need to pull the knife out of him. I need a clean room."

The nearest mansion is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and because Mrs. Guo has been ill for many years, there is a court physician living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and medicinal materials are also conveniently available.

But, there is no way they would take Qin Canglan to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wei Ting frowned: "I know a place, the Imperial Observatory!"

…

"Master Sikong! They are just outside the door. Do you want to let them in?"

The chief clerk asked.

Sikong Yun said: "Let it go."

The chief clerk hesitated and said, "Sir... I understand that you have a good personal relationship with the old Protector of the Country, but your status is special, and His Majesty is very averse to your association with important officials in the court. Moreover, I heard that the old Protector of the Country has lost his temper..."

Sikong Yun looked at the heavy rain and said solemnly, "Open the door. I will go and see the general off for the last time."

The heavy black iron door was opened by eight masters together, and Wei Ting walked in holding Qin Canglan.

He said solemnly: "Go prepare a clean room!"

Everyone turned around and looked at Sikong Yun after the rain.

Sikong Yun nodded: "Do as Lord Wei said."

"Let me lead the way!" the disciple said, "Master Wei, please follow me!"

There was a unfamiliar chubby girl following behind Wei Ting, but no one paid much attention to her.

Just because he was with Wei Ting, he let her in.

The door slowly closed.

Jingzhao Yin was shocked: "Hey! Hey! I haven't come in yet! I want to investigate the case! Supervisor! Supervisor!"

The disciple took the three people to the wing room on the east end of the first floor.

Wei Ting slowly placed Qin Canglan on the bed.

Su Xiaoxiao said to her disciples, "Please prepare a set of dry clothes, a bucket of hot water, scissors, and medicine for wounds... If you don't have medicine for wounds... Bletilla striata, crane grass, and callicarpa ovata will also work! A little cinnabar! If you don't have any of these, herb frost will work!"

The disciple was stunned: "Bai, Baicao Frost?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Ashes from the bottom of the pot!"

"Uh... yes."

The disciple went there confused.

"I'll go and help!" Wei Ting went to look for clothes.

Sikong Yun came into the house.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao deeply and asked, "Do you plan to save him?"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know Sikong Yun, but looking at his temperament, it was not difficult to guess that he was the legendary supervisor.

He once predicted Princess Jingning's fate, saying that Princess Jingning carried the destiny of the Great Zhou royal family. This was why Princess Jingning, although not good at pleasing her elders, still became Emperor Jingxuan's most valued heir.

After the assassination today, the first thing Emperor Jingxuan asked was - how is Jingning?

Su Xiaoxiao undressed Qin Canglan: "Yes, I want to save him."

The Supervisor said with a complicated expression: "You can't save him. The star general fell. This is fate."

"Destiny?"

There was a flash of sarcasm and rebelliousness in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes.

"Then I will go against the will of heaven!"

Please ask Qin Canglan for a monthly ticket! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
