"Someone's there?" Zi Du was shocked when he sensed the 'abnormality' outside.
Even so, Zi Du continued to bathe. After their recent contact, he believed that Shan Jia and the others could handle it.
The person was very careful. At least, the ordinary guards did not notice his arrival. However, he did not let his guard down. It was obvious that he had undergone professional training and was not ordinary.
Just as he entered the roof of the room where Zi Du was, a few long swords quietly and slowly moved towards the person who came.
Perhaps it was because of the mentality of the 21st century, or perhaps it was because they did not feel the killing intent of the person who came. Just as they were about to kill the "assassin", Zi spoke,"I'll give you a chance to explain, or you'll die.”
"Hmm?" Before the person could react, a few long swords appeared in an instant, sealing his escape route.
"Spare me, I was sent by the Prime Minister to deliver intelligence.”The person felt the murderous aura around him and hurriedly told him his purpose.
"Oh? When did the Prime Minister learn this?”Zi Du could tell that this person was lying and asked jokingly.
"Hmph, go to hell!" Since he had been seen through, he roared and prepared to fight to the death.
"Bam…"
However, he would never have thought that there were already several people standing around him. He flew out like a kite with a broken string.
"Hey." Knowing that the times were different, Zi Du sighed. There were too many examples in history. He would not be a good person.
"It is our fault for disturbing Young Master.”Dan Jia waved his hand, signaling for the unconscious assassin to be carried away. He then apologized to Zi Du in the room.
"General Shan is too serious. You all have contributed to capturing the assassin and should be rewarded greatly.”
Zi Du shook his head to show that he was very tired and did not want to continue talking.
"Young Master, please rest first. Dan Jia will interrogate the assassin now.”Dan Jia bowed and waited until there was no more sound in the room before quietly leaving.
"Looks like some people are starting to get restless. The plan hasn't started yet, and there's still not enough time!”
Zi Du sighed to himself. He didn't care who sent the assassin today. He had been here for more than a month, and the assassin had only come once today. It had already exceeded the " safety " period he had set.
"Looks like I have to meet the legendary 'Yin-Yang School' as soon as possible before I can carry out the next step of my plan!”
Zi Du tidied up his clothes and fell asleep.
"Wei," the assassin died of poison before he was brought into the torture chamber.”"Wooden Shield" reported to Dan Jia who had just entered the cell.
"Hmm? Did he leave any clues behind?"
Dan Jia frowned. He did not blame them for not doing their job well. Instead, he asked the person who did not leave any clues behind.
"This person has a spider mark on his body. He should be from the Zhao Manor's faction.”"Wooden Shield" replied without thinking.
"Zhao Gao? Could it be the eighteenth prince?" Dan Jia quickly thought of a person, but he couldn't figure out why it was him.
The next morning, Dan Jia reported this matter to Zi Du early in the morning. However, he did not expect that Zi Du was not surprised at all. It could even be said that he did not care at all. Looking at Zi Du who was leisurely eating, he could not help but sigh.
"General Shan, do you have any countermeasures?" After all, it was his own matter. No matter how small the danger was, he had to take precautions.
"This subordinate has already sent someone to invite General Mu back to discuss countermeasures.”
Dan Jia hurriedly bowed and replied. After all, this was a major matter concerning Zidu's safety, so he could not afford to be careless.
"Alright, I have something to discuss with General Mu.”Hearing that Mu Feng was returning, Zi Du indifferently replied. Truthfully speaking, although Mu Feng always gave people a cold and gloomy feeling, his ability was unquestionable.
"Come, General Shan, let's eat together. Don't say that you don't dare.”
Perhaps it was because of modern thinking, but Zi Du always felt uncomfortable eating alone with a group of people standing beside him.
"I, I thank you." Dan Jia could no longer find any words. His master simply did not play by the rules.
Fortunately, not long after he sat down, his savior came to ease his "embarrassment".
"This subordinate came late to save you, please forgive me.”
"General Mu, I am extremely grateful that you have come back with such great difficulty. How would I dare to punish you? Come, let's eat first.”
Zi Du was helpless. Aren't they tired of asking for forgiveness at every turn?
"This subordinate thanks Young Master for the reward." Although Mu Feng's face was cold, he acted very naturally.
The funny thing was that not long after the three of them had eaten, the third uninvited guest came over.
"Young Master, the Prime Minister requests an audience.”
"Li Si? What is he doing here?"
Zi Du was puzzled, but he still let the guard in.
"I, Li Si, pay my respects to Young Master. I hope Young Master can forgive me for disturbing you at noon.”Li Si knelt and bowed.
"Lord Prime Minister, please rise. I believe that something important has happened.”Zi Du quickly stood up and asked Li Si respectfully.
"I just heard that an assassin came to assassinate you last night. I didn't protect Young Master's safety.”
"Lord Prime Minister, you are too serious. I wonder if the rebels in the city know what to do?”Zi Du smiled, but his expression immediately fell when he turned around.
"I've sent a large number of troops to clean up the city, but…”
Li Si did not dare to say that he did not find any traces of the 'rebels'. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to survive.
"His Majesty will arrive at Sang Hai soon. Is there any way to find these 'rebels' completely?”
Zi Du brought out the conversation that he had thought of earlier.
"The inescapable net is everywhere."
Li Si looked at Zi Du, who had his back to him, and replied.
"You mean you want to gather the captured organizations in Sanghai City?”Zi Du turned around and stared at Li Si, who was still cupping his hands.
"The net is the Empire's lethal weapon. It's up to Young Master to decide whether or not to use it.”Hearing the urgency in Zi Du's words, Li Si quickly rejected.
It was actually Zhao Gao who forced him to use him. Now that he understood the background of the killer last night, what he couldn't understand was that this matter shouldn't have been caused by the Black Dragon Scroll. Why did things change? Could it be that his arrival had changed the original storyline?
" Eliminate the 'rebellion' at all costs.”
Zi, who was thinking about the whole story, was too lazy to analyze how to answer Li Si's question. He could only follow Qin Shiming's original words.
