Chapter 2752 Too Many People Are Watching Me Behind My Back
Just when the knife with a cold glow was about to fall on Li Bushang's back, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side and stood behind Li Bushang.
"careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of blood rose into the air.
Li Bushang turned around hurriedly and saw Xie Jiaojiao standing behind him with her arms spread out in a protective gesture, while the knife in the big man's hand was chopping her shoulder.
Suddenly, the skin and flesh were torn apart and blood splattered everywhere.
"you--!"
Li Bushang couldn't believe his eyes for a moment, and the big man was obviously also a little bit unbelievable that Xie Jiaojiao would actually use her own flesh and blood body to block Li Bushang. They were stunned for a moment.
At this moment, Li Bushang turned around and rushed forward, stabbing the knife in his hand straight into the big man's chest.
In an instant, the entire long sword sank into the hand, leaving only the handle in his hand.
The big man was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he saw Li Bushang's hand suddenly pull back, and the knife flashing with cold light and blood was pulled out from his chest. In an instant, a stream of blood gushed out from his chest.
In an instant, both Li Bushang and Xie Jiaojiao were soaked.
"Bright..."
Song Zhiwen, who was still slumped in a chair in the lobby, saw this scene, his face turned pale, and he tried desperately to stand up, but as soon as he moved, he slipped out of the chair and fell to the ground.
After Li Bushang struck, he saw Xie Jiaojiao beside him unable to hold on and falling on her back, so he immediately reached out to catch her.
Half of Xie Jiaojiao's body was stained red.
I don't know if it was her blood or the killer's blood.
Her face was covered in blood, but her eyes were still wide open. She stared at Li Bushang and asked, "Are you okay...?"
Li Bushang just glanced at her and had no time to answer her. He saw that the killers around him were in chaos when they saw their leader was dead. The noise here finally alarmed the Song family's guards. Many guards ran in and were stunned when they saw the dead and injured here.
"What's going on?"
"How could it be—"
At this time, Li Bushang shouted in a deep voice: "Catch them!"
Although the guards of the Song family were not the Jinyiwei who obeyed his orders, and he was not the head of the Song family, but the courage and aura of the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei made these people frightened just by opening their mouths, and they obeyed his orders unconsciously. In addition, when they saw their young master Song Zhiwen sitting on the ground, constantly calling Xie Jiaojiao's name, and Xie Jiaojiao fell into Li Bushang's arms, they probably understood something.
The guards reacted quickly at this moment and rushed up immediately.
Although the Murong family sent many assassins, their numbers were definitely not enough to resist these guards. In addition, many of them had already been killed and injured by Li Bushang. After a while, they were all captured alive.
At this time, Li Bushang held a knife in one hand and half-supported and half-hugged Xie Jiaojiao with the other hand.
He said in a deep voice: "How are you?"
Xie Jiaojiao's arm drooped, and she had no strength to move it. However, she bit her lower lip, looked up at him, and said, "Are you okay?"
“…”
Li Bushang looked at her, looked at her face and lips which were pale due to blood loss, and also looked at her clothes and arms which were stained with blood.
For a long while, no one said another word.
He simply turned around and said to the busy Song family guards around him, "Tie these people up and wait for your punishment. Hurry and call a doctor! Your young master has been poisoned!"
The Song family was in a mess.
A day later, Zhu Feng came to Yonghe Palace after court and told Nan Yan about the incident with a sullen face.
When Nan Yan heard this, her eyes widened in shock.
Said: "The Murong family? They still refuse to give up and want revenge?"
Zhu Feng said with a sullen face, "According to Li Bushang, the leader of that group of assassins originally wanted to sneak into the capital and attack me."
"ah?"
"However, they are not qualified to approach the Imperial City, nor are they qualified to approach me, so I have no idea where to start."
"So, that's why they attacked the several young masters of the Song family, and they didn't hurt them."
"Um."
Nan Yan asked, "So, how are the young masters of the Song family?"
Zhu Feng said, "They were poisoned. Luckily, Li Bushang captured the killers alive and tortured them to extract the antidote. He gave them the antidote, and they are now safe."
Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, that's good."
Zhu Feng said with a sullen face, "However, these people are too bold. They actually set their sights on me and even wanted to murder an official of the imperial court."
Nan Yan asked, "What does the emperor plan to do?"
Zhu Feng said, "These assassins will naturally be executed without mercy. I have already sent a message to the Handong Guard, instructing Chen Zixiao to deal with all the members of the Murong family."
“…”
"These people will be a disaster if they stay."
"Doing this will not have any impact on other people in Bailong City."
Zhu Feng said, "Now that the army has arrived, there's no need to fear any impact. Besides, there are so many families and people in Bailong City, and there's no guarantee that anyone would still harbor such thoughts. Killing one person as a warning to the rest will show them the imperial court's ruthless methods. If we always show you our kindness, they might think I'm soft-hearted."
Nan Yan said: "If that's the case, then let Chen Zixiao handle it."
She could see that Zhu Feng was very angry, so she went to make a cup of tea herself. As usual, she tore two dried chrysanthemums and soaked them in the tea, and added a small piece of rock sugar. This kind of tea is now a regular item in her house. Whenever the weather gets hot or Zhu Feng is in a bad mood, she will make it for him.
She personally placed the tea in Zhu Feng's hands and said softly, "Your Majesty, please have some tea first."
“…”
"Once this matter is dealt with, it's over. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it anymore."
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "I just feel that there are too many people watching me from behind. If I don't pay attention, these people will pounce on me like hungry wolves."
Nan Yan knew that he was talking about not only the people from Bailong City, but also the people from the Earth Immortal Society.
So he asked softly, "Have the Earthly Immortals Association found out anything?"
Zhu Feng said, "Li Bushang said that the people sent out have not been contacted yet."
"Huh? What's going on?"
"After what happened before, I ordered not to alert the enemy. I'm afraid this person is also worried about being exposed, so he's lying low."
“…”
"It will take a lot of effort to reactivate it now."
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
She had no say in these matters and could only listen.
After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Feng's expression relaxed a little. He turned to look at her and said, "Oh, there's one more thing."
Nan Yan asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Feng said, "Xie Jiaojiao is injured."
