The autumn wind blew.
Leaves flew everywhere.
Wu Mingyue and the Five Emissaries were at daggers drawn, their auras locked onto the black-armored man.
A fierce killing intent was faintly discernible in their eyes.
They hated the assassin organization, the Network, to the bone.
Sima Chang Feng was only one of the victims.
Wu Mingyue's friends, family, subordinates, and the people who had died in the hands of the net were too many to count.
Of course, the net didn't seem to be targeting Wu Mingyue. It seemed to be targeting all forces!
The capable subordinates of the other princes had also been mercilessly assassinated.
The world guessed that this assassin organization was not deliberately targeting anyone. It was just doing business.
They would assassinate whoever could afford it.
Regardless of status.
"Your Network has killed so many people around me, shouldn't I hate you?”
"I don't know how many loyal and righteous people have been killed by you. There are many people who hate you!”
"Your Network has long been notorious. Everyone has the right to kill you!!”
Wu Mingyue stared at the black-armored man and said coldly.
"A loyal and righteous man?"
The black-armored man's expression was calm, but a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
He didn't explain too much and only said softly,"
"There are many things that you can't just look at the surface, especially the human heart.”
"If you don't dig out the other party's heart, you will never know what the other party is thinking or what secrets they are hiding.”
"The truth is not what Her Majesty thinks. You just need to follow me to the headquarters, and the truth will naturally surface.”
Wu Mingyue and the others were stunned.
He had never expected the black-armored man to say such a thing!
The Network had always been very mysterious. He had never heard of their headquarters.
And now, the man in black armor was actually planning to invite Wu Mingyue?
What was he up to?
Were they not worried that the empress would wipe out their headquarters in one fell swoop?!
Although there were many experts in the network, it was only an assassin organization after all, and its manpower was limited!
Once they were surrounded by an elite army, they would not be able to escape the fate of being completely annihilated.
This was common sense.
No assassin organization was stupid enough to let others know the address of their headquarters.
Even the branches that they contacted were extremely secretive. Without special methods, they could not be contacted at all.
A strange look flashed across Wu Mingyue's eyes, as if she was extremely tempted.
She didn't care where the headquarters of the Network was. What she cared more about was the 'truth' that the other party mentioned!
Was there really a secret that she didn't know about?!
Otherwise, why would the other party save her?
He even looked very confident.
There was something strange going on here…
Seeing this, several Emissaries quickly tried to persuade him.
"Your Majesty, don't believe his nonsense!”
"Even if he didn't make a move just now, His Majesty's life wouldn't be in danger. At most, he would only be slightly injured!”
"He is trying to gain your trust and lure you to a more dangerous place. Perhaps he has already set up an ambush!”
"The headquarters of the Network is very likely to have a true Heaven Tier elite guarding it. Your Majesty must not put yourself in danger!!”
The five Emissaries did not believe that the people from the Network would be so kind!
Since when did these cold-blooded and heartless people become so polite?
It was already good enough that he didn't kill anyone, but he even saved them. It would be strange if there wasn't a problem!
Blue Frost Emissary frowned and asked,""If there's any truth, you can tell me now. Don't pretend to be mysterious!”
" No," the black-armored man shook his head." Words have no proof. No matter what I say, you won't believe me."”
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't explain further and just took out an item from his pocket.
Upon closer inspection, it was actually a wooden comb!
Other than the simple and exquisite design, there was nothing special about it.
However, Wu Mingyue's pupils constricted when she saw the wooden comb!
Her body trembled and she could not help but exclaim,"How could you have this comb?!”
The five Emissaries were confused and did not understand why Her Majesty was so excited.
That comb was obviously ordinary.
However, they did notice that there was a word 'Yue' engraved on it!
Could it really be related to Her Majesty?
Otherwise, why would Her Majesty's emotions fluctuate so intensely?
In reality.
It wasn't just related!
That wooden comb was one of the love tokens that Wu Mingyue had given Lu Ping 'an!
At that time, Lu Ping 'an used Wu Mingyue's comb to comb her hair.
"Brother Pingan, are you willing to comb my hair for the rest of my life?" Wu Mingyue asked, trying to hold back her shyness.”
"Of course I'm willing," Lu Ping 'an replied with a smile.”
At that time, Wu Mingyue had given this comb to Lu Ping 'an!
It implied that they were of one heart and one mind, and that they were privately engaged for life!
At this moment, the black-armored man continued,"
"Your Majesty, can you trust me now?”
"The person who tried to assassinate you earlier was from the Blood Rain Hall of the Great Han Empire.”
"I'm sure everyone is familiar with this assassin organization.”
Wu Mingyue and the others couldn't help but have a slight change in expression.
The Great Han Empire was the Great Zhou Empire's greatest enemy. They had always coveted the Great Zhou Empire's territory.
As for the Blood Rain Hall, this assassin organization, it was said that they obeyed the orders of the Great Han Dynasty!
The black-armored man continued,"
"The leader is very wise. He had long guessed that the Great Han Dynasty would take advantage of the fact that Her Majesty the Great Empress had just ascended to the throne to launch an assassination.”
"The leader has already ordered us to keep an eye on all the movements of the Great Han Dynasty, especially those few strongest assassin organizations.”
"As expected, many top assassins have secretly entered the Great Zhou Empire and are hiding.”
"During this period of time, our network has already taken care of quite a few of them.”
"This half-step Heaven Tier assassin who died was also tracked by me for a long time before I finally found him today.”
Blue Frost and the other Emissaries felt incredulous when they heard this!
The Network would actually do their best to protect Her Majesty the Great Empress?
This was too ridiculous!
At this moment, Wu Mingyue asked with a strange expression,"
"Who is your leader?"
"Why is he protecting me!"
The black-armored man's eyes moved as he slowly said,"The leader of our network is the owner of this wooden comb.”
Wu Mingyue's mind went blank when she heard that. She felt as if the world was spinning!
