Chang Liu said anxiously, "Master, are you going to risk your life? No, it's too dangerous. His Majesty and the Empress will not agree."
Shang Xingjian's eyes were firm, his mind made up, "This time I will use my own abilities to solve Luzhou's problems."
"Changliu, don't reveal my whereabouts yet. Arrange a few people to protect me in secret. The rest of you continue to investigate the relationship between the assassin and the Luzhou prefect."
Changliu wanted to persuade him again, but seeing that his master had made up his mind, he had to give up.
At this moment, light footsteps were heard in the quiet yard.
Changliu felt a sudden chill all over his body, and he drew two cold and sharp scimitars from his waist with both hands.

This was an excellent hiding place, and he didn't want to leave before finding out the assassin's information.
Su Wanti nodded, her eyes cold, and said, "You two are outsiders, so I'll just say what I want to say. My family can't live in this village anymore. In a few days, I will move to Luzhou with my family."
Shang Xingjian's eyes lit up slightly, and he had an idea in his mind.
