Staring at the corpses that were gradually being cleared away, the assassins left behind a total of fourteen corpses, while the guards 'casualties were doubled.
"Who are these assassins? A traitor in the dark?" Di Renjie's old eyes stared at the corpse of one of the assassins that was being moved. He was somewhat lost in thought.
" Young Master," Ling 'er called out softly when she saw Li Hao's cold expression.
Li Hao was indeed angry, but he was angry that his subordinates were disobedient. As for those assassins, they were naturally from the Thunder Pavilion. What Li Hao asked Elephant Lord to do was to assassinate Di Renjie in the open, attract the guards in the mansion, and then secretly send elites to end Jili Khan.
However, the result was that the Thunder Pavilion's assassin, Asda, had not held back at all! At the same time, he was also somewhat puzzled. Why would Elephant Lord disobey his orders? Did he have the guts to do so?
Li Hao was deep in thought. When he heard the voice of the beauty beside him, he turned around and revealed an ugly smile."I'm fine."
As an insider, Ling 'er naturally knew that there was a problem. However, seeing Li Hao's expression, she did not dare to say anything more.
With the manpower that the Thunder Pavilion had prepared, they had only launched a surprise attack on Di Renjie's backyard. The damage to other places was not great, and they quickly stabilized.
Li Hao thought of Jili Khan.
"To the east courtyard!" Yuan Wei turned around.
"Milord, twenty-eight guards in the back garden died and nineteen were injured. Eight of the servants and maidservants in the manor died. The other gardens were only slightly disturbed and some artifacts were destroyed.”In the back garden, Di Renjie sat and listened to his subordinates 'reports.
"From the looks of it, the assassin's main target is the backyard!”Di Renjie said in a deep voice.
"Master!" At this moment, Di Chun rushed over.
"What happened?" Seeing the anxious expression on Di Chun's face, Di Renjie's heart skipped a beat. Clearly, something had gone wrong again.
"That Li Er is dead, the two guards were killed, and Lu Dayou is also dead!”Panting, Di Chun quickly said.
Di Renjie gasped and stood up.""Let's go to the east courtyard!"
In the eastern courtyard, outside the room where Khan Jili was placed, there were already some guards. Di Renjie hurried over. As soon as he entered, his sharp eyes swept across the room.
Lu Dayou and the two guards were scattered on the side. Their throats were slit and they died. The person who did it was very agile. The room was very clean and not disturbed. The assassin did not leave many traces.
Khan Jili was lying on the couch, but there was a steel knife stabbed into his chest.
"I dragged you into this mess!”Facing Lu Dayou's corpse, Di Renjie let out a long sigh. When he thought of Lu Dayou's dead sister, Di Renjie's face became even more sympathetic.
"Take care of Da You and the guards!”He instructed a steward who was following him.
"Yes, sir!"
Di Renjie sat by the bed and sized up Jili Khan. This person was dead, there was no doubt about it. Di Renjie could not help but reveal a suspicious expression as he swept his gaze across his face. This was because he realized that the purplish purple color on his face was a little heavier than during the day, as if it was covered in poisonous blood. After a careful examination, there were actually some symptoms of the snake venom relapsing.
Di Renjie's gaze lingered on the saber stabbed into Jili Khan's chest for a moment. After pondering for a long time, he sighed faintly and said,""Li Er, oh Li Er, who are you? What is your identity? Why is your life so difficult?"
There was a sigh in his tone, but at this moment, Di Renjie was already convinced that the secret of Li Er's identity was definitely extraordinary.
Subconsciously pulling up the sleeve on his left hand, Di Renjie stared at the " Tiger Head Flying Eagle " pattern on his forearm that had puzzled him for a long time. He muttered,""Tiger Head Flying Eagle!"
When Li Hao arrived, he happened to see Di Renjie, who was in a daze. When he saw the dead Jili Khan, his expression relaxed slightly, and then a hint of surprise appeared on his face."Milord, he was killed?"
"Yes, I am!" Li Hao's movement interrupted Di Renjie's thoughts. He replied and looked up at him,""Looks like the assassin's target isn't just me."
Di Renjie stood up and glanced at the corpse of Jili Khan lying on the couch. He said unwillingly,""I have a premonition that this man will play an extremely important role in the turmoil in Youzhou. Originally, he wanted to wait for this person to wake up and find out his identity and the reason.”
Walking to the door, Di Renjie looked up at the night sky and sighed."" Now, with his death, this clue has been cut off, and the secret hidden in him is no longer easy to find out!”
"My lord!" While Di Renjie was sighing, Li Hao suddenly called out.
Sensing the special meaning in Li Hao's tone, Di Renjie immediately turned around and found that Li Hao was studying the pattern on Jili Khan's left arm with a " serious " expression.
Di Renjie raised his eyebrows and walked forward quickly. He raised his sleeve and pointed at the door."Li Hao, do you recognize this pattern?”
Li Hao's expression was " solemn " as he " carefully " looked at the pattern for a long time with a serious expression. Seeing this, Di Renjie did not say anything to disturb him. After a long time, Li Haofang took a deep breath and tilted his head to look at Di Renjie.""Milord, this person's identity is definitely not simple!”
Seeing Li Hao's solemn expression, Di Renjie was both surprised and happy. He looked around and dismissed the guards. He pulled Li Hao to the side to sit down and said,""Tell me what you know!”
After adjusting his emotions, Li Hao began to act cool in front of Fatty Di. Although Khan Jili was dead, Li Hao had decided to " reveal " his identity to Di Renjie. Looking at the pattern, there was no more natural opportunity than this.
"The tiger-headed eagle symbolizes the lofty status of the Turkic Khagan. The eagle and the three tiger heads represented the most elite and most powerful tiger divisions of the Turkic empire, formed from the loyal clans of the Khagan. In the Turkic Kingdom, anyone who can tattoo this symbol on their left arm must have a high status, at least a direct descendant of the Turkic Khagan."
Li Hao did not directly say that this was the Turkic Khan.
After hearing Li Hao's explanation, Di Renjie was shocked. He looked at Li Hao and said,""Are you saying that he is a member of the Turkic royal family?"
"Ordinary Turkic nobles don't have the right to tattoo this symbol!" Li Hao nodded.”
