Zhang Shixun kicked Huang Laoqi in the lower abdomen, followed by a right hook on his chin.
With a scream, Huang Laoqi fell on the ground with his face up, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
"Hei Wuchang, take them to the Bian River and torture them."
Hei Wuchang said nothing, picked up the two murderers who looked like dead dogs, one in each hand, and walked out the door.
Li Shishi dropped the dagger in her hand and threw herself into Zhang Shixun's arms.
Zhang Shixun gently stroked her back, "It's okay, hehe!"
Li Shishi raised her head and murmured, "I thought we were going to say goodbye forever, but I didn't expect you to come at the last moment."
Zhang Shixun found that Li Shishi didn't cry, and couldn't help but praise her inwardly: She is so strong-willed!
"Saisai also encountered these two bad guys and only suffered minor injuries. I was worried that you might be in trouble too, so I rushed over."
"If you had come a step later, you wouldn't have been able to see Shishi."
It was not until this time that Li Shishi silently shed two lines of tears.
Zhang Shixun hugged her tightly and said, "With me here, no one can hurt you."
The two hugged each other for a long time. Suddenly, Li Shishi cried out "Ah!" and broke free from Zhang Shixun's arms to check his chest.
"Sir, are you all right? I saw the thief shoot you just now."
Zhang Shixun smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just a crossbow arrow. It can't hurt me. I have an indestructible body."
Li Shishi saw a small hole in his coat and quickly pulled it open. Only then did she feel relieved when she saw that the underwear inside was intact.
She looked up at Zhang Shixun and said, "Sir, do you really have an indestructible body?"
Zhang Shixun lifted her chin and teased her, "I am a Daluo Jinxian. How can ordinary people hurt me?"
"real?"
"That's fake, hehe! Where are the gods in this world?"
Zhang Shixun pointed at the bulletproof vest he was wearing underneath. "I'm safe from harm thanks to this underwear. It's bulletproof... oh no! It's arrowproof."
Li Shishi stretched out her delicate jade fingers and touched the bulletproof vest, a smile on her face. "This is a treasure... Sir, these are troubled times. You must wear it when you go out next time."
"Yes! I'll listen to you."
Zhang Shixun said this and hugged her in his arms again.
Hei Wuchang went out for a meal and came back.
"Master, the interrogation has made it clear that the two assassins were sent by Ning Shuge, the Jin envoy."
"The Jin envoy?"
Zhang Shixun was slightly surprised.
"He sent out two groups of assassins at the same time. One group targeted Ding Dusai and Li Shishi, and the other group targeted Gao Laozhuang."
"Wang Dong!"
Zhang Shixun suddenly became nervous and was about to contact Wang Dong when the virtual screen in the smart system lit up.
Wang Dong took the initiative to contact him.
"Damn it! I have five assassins here. If I hadn't made arrangements in advance, I might have died."
Zhang Shixun was relieved when he heard this and asked casually, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Two farmhands died, and Zaohua was shot in the shoulder... Damn it! This woman is always so reckless. She jumped out and fought the assassin without even being held back. If Liang Hongyu and Yue Fan hadn't arrived in time, she would definitely not have survived."
"Isn't Bai Wuchang by your side?"
"I sent it to the city, ready to transform into Shi Qian and cause a scene, but assassins showed up at home... Damn it! If Bai Wuchang was at Gao Village, none of the assassins would have escaped."
"How many assassins went there?"
"Five, one got away, Liang Hongyu and Yue Fan are chasing after him... What's going on? Are there any problems over there?"
"Yes! There are two assassins here. Their target is not me, but Ding Dusai and Li Shishi."
"Are those two pretty girls okay?"
"It's okay. Ding Dusai had the little robot Caibao with him. Thanks to it, he deflected the arrow in time and saved Ding Dusai's life. As for Li Shishi, I'm lucky I arrived in time. If I had been a step later, she would have been dead."
Zhang Shixun said this, wiping a cold sweat from his forehead, feeling scared just thinking about it.
"I'm glad you're okay... Damn it! If I find out which bastard did this, I'll skin him alive!"
"I've asked Hei Wuchang to find out. It was the Jurchens who did it."
"Jurchen?"
"Yes! The person behind this is an envoy from the Jin Kingdom, named Ning Shuge."
"Fuck him! I'll send the surveillance camera to the Jin Guo Inn right now, and then have the Black and White Impermanence kill the bastard."
"I agree. If a tiger doesn't show its might, then you think I'm a sick cat. From now on, if anyone dares to bare his teeth at us, we'll kill him."
"Haha! Looks like you're really angry."
"Ding Dusai and Li Shishi are the people closest to me. If anyone dares to touch them, I will kill him."
Li Shishi listened from the side, leaned her head on his shoulder, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
After a while, there was news from Wang Dong.
"There are more than ten people in the Jin State Posthouse, and there seem to be two officials. One of them is wearing an earring, which should have been cut off by Ning Shu."
"What are you going to do?"
"Let the Black and White Impermanence transform into Li Kui and Lu Zhishen. They haven't appeared in a long time, and it's time for them to show their faces."
"That's a good idea, let's do it."
After Zhang Shixun said this, he turned around and looked again, but Hei Wuchang was gone.
That night, Zhang Shixun stayed with Li Shishi.
Li Shishi was sleeping on the bed.
Zhang Shixun slept on the floor next to her bed.
The two of them kept talking sweetly to each other and fell asleep when it was almost dawn.
The next day, shocking news spread like wildfire in the capital - the Jin Dynasty post house was massacred, and twelve people were killed, including the Jin Dynasty's deputy envoy. The deputy envoy's head was hung on the gate of the post house.
What is shocking is that the murderer actually left his name.
Written in blood on the gate of the posthouse were the following: The murderers are the Flower Monk Lu Zhishen and the Black Whirlwind Li Kui.
Emperor Zhao Huan was the first to hear the news and was immediately panicked. He quickly summoned all the ministers into the palace.
The Jin army retreated just a few months ago, and now this incident has happened. If the Jin Kingdom gets the news...
Zhao Huan couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this.
He sat on the dragon throne in the Chuigong Hall, anxiously waiting for the arrival of his ministers.
Half an hour later, the ministers arrived one after another, but as if they had agreed beforehand, all the prime ministers claimed to be sick.
None of them came.
Zhao Huan almost fainted from anger.
"Tell them that if they don't come today, they won't come again."
The emperor even said such harsh words, so Li Bangyan, Geng Nanzhong, Zhang Bangchang and others had no choice but to enter the palace.
Seeing that they looked normal and didn't look sick at all, Zhao Huan became even angrier.
"Look at you all, your faces are all rosy, yet you all claim to be sick and don't attend court. You are truly my good subjects."
Seeing him trembling with anger, Li Bangyan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am indeed in good health. I claimed to be ill because I have a secret that I cannot tell you."
Geng Nanzhong followed up with, "I, too, have a hidden secret."
Zhang Bangchang was unwilling to be left behind, "I have some too."
…
"Ha!" Zhao Huan laughed in anger, pointing at Li Bangyan and saying, "Tell us in front of all the ministers what you are hiding."
