Chapter 1219: Let You Stop Being on Guard Against Him
Li Bushang looked at Wang Shuxing and Sun Jia with a gloomy face, remaining silent.
The two students also looked very uneasy. Although they had just been stubborn and refused to admit that it was someone from the academy who did it, if they thought about it carefully, could anyone else have done something like this in the academy?
At this time, footsteps were heard outside.
"What's going on?"
When they heard it, they hurried over to open the door, and saw Jian Ruocheng walking in with a few students holding lanterns.
Sun Jia hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Master."
Jian Ruocheng walked in, looked at Qian Xiuwen on the bed, and said, "What are you doing? Why are you making a fuss?"
Sun Jia said, "Master, someone just wanted to kill Qian Xiuwen."
"What!?"
Jian Ruocheng was startled and hurried to the bedside to take a look. Sun Jia said hurriedly, "But he's fine."
"oh?"
"It was this Mr. Li who saved Qian Xiuwen. The murderer used this hidden weapon."
He pointed to the dart on the table.
Jian Ruocheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the person was fine. He glanced at Qian Xiuwen on the bed again, then turned around and saw the dart on the table. His brows immediately furrowed.
Wang Shuxing said, "This dart is also poisoned."
The students around were all shocked: "What's going on?"
"Someone actually wants to assassinate Qian Xiuwen? Who is it?"
"It's horrible."
Everyone was horrified, and their eyes fell on Li Bushang again. Jian Ruocheng slowly walked up to him, his eyes showing a complicated expression: "It was you who saved Qian Xiuwen."
Li Bushang glanced at him and said nothing.
Jian Ruocheng said: "This time, thanks to you——"
However, before he finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly came from the door: "Are you sure he is saving people?"
As soon as he heard the voice, Zhu Chengxuan frowned.
Everyone looked back and saw that it was Xia Fuxiu and a few students walking over. They were holding lanterns in their hands and were on night patrol.
Jian Ruocheng said: "Xia Fuxiu, what you just said means——"
Xia Fuxiu walked in, glanced at the darts on the table, sneered, and then turned to look at Wang Shuxing and Sun Jia: "Did anyone of you see the murderer with your own eyes?"
"I--"
The two of them looked at each other and were suddenly speechless.
Indeed, neither man saw any of the murderers.
Seeing that they were speechless, Xia Fuxiu asked again: "Tell me again, what exactly happened just now? What did you see?"
Wang Shuxing hesitated for a moment before saying, "It was dark, and we were all a little sleepy. Then we heard Mr. Li asking 'who is it?' When we woke up, we saw—he had intercepted the dart in his hand."
Xia Fuxiu immediately sneered and said, "So, you actually don't know what happened. It's possible that he just took out the dart and pretended to be intercepted by him, then shouted loudly, so that you could see him and become a hero who saved people, so that you would no longer be wary of him, right?"
"this--"
Wang Shuxing and Sun Jia were speechless.
When the students around heard these words, they suddenly realized: "No wonder——"
"I was just saying, how could he be so kind."
"Yeah, they were clearly trying to kill Qian Xiuwen during the day, so how could they possibly save him?"
Hearing Xia Fuxiu's words, Zhu Chengxuan hurriedly said, "Brother Li is not that kind of person. He would never do that!"
Xia Fuxiu said coldly, "You think that this little trick can deceive our trust and let you do whatever you want? You think too simply."
After saying that, he turned to Jian Ruocheng and said, "Master, it seems that it is not a good idea to let young students do this. They have too little experience and are easily deceived."
“…”
Jian Ruocheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Then what do you mean by Fu Xiu?"
Xia Fuxiu said, "What I mean is that we should let someone older do it. Su Erjun, Xie Weisheng, you two will guard here."
As soon as he finished speaking, two students walked in.
Although he is a student, he obviously looks much older than the students around him, and he is tall and looks more like a martial artist than a student.
They saluted Xia Fuxiu and Jian Ruocheng and said, "Yes."
Jian Ruocheng looked at them and said, "Alright. Wang Shuxing, Sun Jia, you guys go down and rest."
The two of them hesitated, but they had no choice but to lower their heads and say, "Yes."
After saying that, he retreated with the other students.
Jian Ruocheng glanced at the people in the room, including Qian Xiuwen on the bed, and said, "You two should be more careful and don't let anything else happen."
"yes."
After saying this, he also left with Xia Fuxiu.
Zhu Chengxuan frowned, extremely anxious. He wanted to say something, but before Xia Fuxiu left, he turned around and gave them a sinister smile. He immediately swallowed back what he wanted to say.
When I looked back and saw the two students, I felt a surge of uneasiness in my heart.
The door was closed.
In the room, there was only an unconscious injured person lying on the bed and the four of them. It was relatively silent, but there was an indescribable solemnity that slowly grew in the silence.
Zhu Chengxuan became increasingly uneasy.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew in from the window, and suddenly, it blew out the candlestick on the table.
Suddenly, the whole room was plunged into pitch darkness.

The noisy wind also made it impossible for people on the other side of Jinling City to sleep.
Outside the main gate of the Yiku Palace, lanterns were swaying under the eaves, making Zhu Feng's already deep eyes even more uncertain. The Jinyiwei, who had knelt in front of him and reported the situation, lowered his head and did not dare to say much.
That kind of oppressive aura is really terrifying.
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "So they were also attacked tonight?"
"yes."
The Jinyiwei said in a deep voice, "Two incidents occurred in the room where the King of Wei and Commander Li were. The first seemed to be just a false alarm, but the second time, someone really took action."
"Who are you going to kill?"
"It seems that they want to kill the injured student to silence him."
“…”
"However, Your Majesty can rest assured. With Commander Li protecting him, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is safe and sound."
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, but just stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the darkness in front of him. The dark night seemed to have dropped a thick black curtain in front of his eyes, making it impossible to escape.
It seems that Nan Yan is right.
Those people's target was not the King of Wei, or rather, their target was not the King of Wei.
Killing a student would cause greater harm to himself than assassinating the King of Wei, and would be more likely to provoke unrest in the entire Jinling.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "So, where are they now?"
