Lu Zheng: "Now, the pain won't make you faint. If you want to experience being sliced to death piece by piece, then you can continue to remain silent!"
The man in black's defenses crumbled, and he gave in: "I'll talk, I'll talk."
Lu Zheng: "How many people did the Lin family send?"
"Twenty-four."
Lu Zheng was taken aback: "Are you from the Thousand Blades Sect?"
"right."
Lu Zheng sighed. In his previous life, Lin Shi only came into contact with the Thousand Blades Sect after he returned to the capital. In this life, he was only sixteen, and Lin Shi had already started to come into contact with the Thousand Blades Sect?
Then he asked, "How did the Lin family find you? Where did you start watching me?"
"Half a month ago, the Duchess of Zhenguo sent someone to contact our leader. She gave us ten thousand taels of silver and demanded that we kill you and bring your head back. She said you were cunning, so she sent more people. She told us to go to Qingzhou Prefecture, where someone would meet with us and keep track of your whereabouts. Later, we disguised ourselves and went to Zhoujia Town, hiding in an inn. Then we went to the second branch of the Gu family and overheard them asking you to take them to Yuzhou. So, this operation came about."
Lu Zheng grasped the key point: "Who was the person from Qingzhou Prefecture who contacted you?"
Currently, besides his maternal grandparents, Gu family grandparents, members of the royal family, and Xue Qianyu, the only people who know his identity are his maternal grandparents, Gu family grandparents, members of the royal family, and Xue Qianyu.
People from Gyeongju Prefecture?
He didn't go near the Duke and Duchess Rong, and even if he did bump into them, the couple wouldn't be sure he was Lu Zheng.
So who exactly is it?
"The person we contacted was a young woman in her early twenties. I don't know the specifics."
Lu Zheng frowned.
There were twenty-four people in total. He killed twenty of them, and he saw three fall off the cliff. This was the only one left, which meant the leader had already been killed.
Lu Zheng raised the dagger: "You really don't know?"
"Um."
Lu Zheng plunged the knife in: "Fine, I'll let you die a quick death."
"No, no, I have something to say." The man in black begged for mercy as the knife tip touched his heart.
Lu Zheng paused for a moment.
"Spare my life, and I'll return to the capital and report that you fell off a cliff and died. That way, you won't have to worry about encountering assassins again!" the man in black said.
"Heh!" Lu Zheng sneered and thrust it in again without hesitation.
He thought there was some news!
I never expected this idea.
She didn't believe anything except human heads.
Lu Zheng wiped the dagger clean and got up to return to the campfire.
Meng Meng glanced at Lu Zheng: "Ah Yuan, is this really to mess with you?"
Lu Zheng nodded: "Yes, I'm sorry."
Meng Meng shook his head: "Why say all this? We're brothers! Just let me know if you need anything in the future."
Lu Zheng smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
Xie Nanfeng half-opened his eyes, glanced at Lu Zheng, and suddenly slapped his forehead, sitting up: "Young Master Zhou, haven't we met somewhere before?"
Lu Zheng looked over and said, "Young Master Xie, those men in black just now also seemed familiar. So, Young Master Xie, have we met somewhere before?"
Xie Nanfeng's mind was working quickly at this moment. He shook his head vigorously: "No, no, I have night blindness, I couldn't see clearly! Sorry! Sorry! I'm going to sleep!"
Lu Zheng calmly shifted his gaze and looked at Xie Nanfeng's two guards and coachman.
He suddenly spoke up: "Young Master Xie, I heard you're going to Kuncheng?"
Xie Nanfeng responded.
Lu Zheng said, "Kuncheng is great! In Kuncheng, the south wind can overpower the spring wind!"
Xie Nanfeng was stunned, sat up, and looked at Lu Zheng in disbelief.
