Lin Zhangwen reached out and pinched his goatee, and could only sigh.
"There must be something wrong somewhere! These officials usually don't dare to fart in front of me and speak only submissively. But now they are facing the current Holy Emperor! How can they be so wanton?"
The more Lin Zhangwen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He looked back and saw that one of his master disciples had fallen to the ground at some point. He no longer had doubts in his heart, but turned around and took a small step towards the side door of Weiyang Palace. He ran away, not even caring about his daughter.
In Lin Zhangwen's eyes, no matter who he is, he can only be his chess piece, a chess piece that helps him to be the final winner in this big game of chess in the palace.
Concubine Lin Guifei was obviously not so alert to her father's sudden departure. At the same time, the emperor had not yet left the dragon throne, and was waiting for Su Xuan and the girl from Miao territory to come back to continue the competition. As the rightful owner of the harem, she , naturally he has to accompany the emperor.
"Something's wrong! Something's definitely wrong!"
Lin Zhangwen suddenly remembered that for such an important festival, the first festival after the late emperor's death, that person must come no matter what the situation was. As a result, he did not show up today. It was very suspicious. Lin Zhangwen was born to be very sensitive to crises. Sensitive, he was about to reach the outskirts of Weiyang Palace. As long as he got outside, there were people from Lin Zhangwen among the Jinyi Guards, who could escort him back to his residence.
Getting closer and closer to the side door, Lin Zhangwen suddenly felt a chill in his back. Without looking back, he turned from a trot to a fast run. Cold sweat dripped on Lin Zhangwen's cheeks. There were still ten steps to go, and he could only take three breaths at most. After being able to run out, Lin Zhangwen didn't even think about calling for help.
But just as he was about to approach the threshold, a figure in night clothes walked out from behind the side door, with his hands folded, and his right hand holding a broad-blade knife, the scabbard still holding the blade firmly.
"Where does Lin Guozhang want to go in such a hurry?"
The voice was cold and stiff, like pebbles in the heavy snow overnight in winter, making it impossible for people to feel close to him.
Lin Zhangwen secretly thought that something was wrong, so he turned around and wanted to escape. The terrain in the corridor was quite narrow. Lin Zhangwen thought that he could buy some time. There should be some people in the palace who had not fainted. Such an assassin was more than enough, but Lin Zhangwen couldn't. Turning around, there was also a figure behind him. The two of them were one behind the other, attacking Lin Zhangwen alone.
"Zhang Lin Guozhang..."
Lin Zhangwen stood motionless, already having a judgment in his mind.
"Brothers, I must have not violated your taboos. I have always been very tight-lipped and will not say anything. You two only need to do what you are supposed to do. If you still feel that I am not sincere enough, I will I can be tied up by you, blindfolded by your eyes and ears, and I don’t know the identity of the two brothers. After I drank the wine, I became unconscious and unconscious, and I don’t know anything!”
The man standing outside the side door hung the knife on his waist and clapped with both hands.
"Okay, okay! As expected, he is the head of the country, a king with a different surname. The situation is not as big as usual. From what you just said, I must also know who our target is tonight."
Lin Zhangwen shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no, no! You two adults! I don't know anything. I fell asleep after drinking wine at the banquet and didn't meet anyone! If you still think it's not enough, wait until tomorrow when I return to your house. I must be prepared to deliver the conditions to the Lanshan Building outside the palace to satisfy the two of you! You can trade without meeting!"
"Hahaha, Lin Guozhang is really a man who knows the current affairs and is a hero! A man who can bend and stretch!"
Lin Zhangwen laughed along with him.
"Sir, you are joking. As long as you don't want my life, I can satisfy any conditions."
"It's a pity. Lord Zhang's guess is good, but it's not that accurate. Our target today happens to be you! No matter what the conditions are, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet them!"
As they talked, the two men in black slowly approached Lin Zhangwen, who could only panic on the spot, at a loss.
"No! You two, I can really satisfy you with everything. I also have various tributes from various countries in my house! The entire Daxia Dynasty has not..."
Before Lin Zhangwen could finish talking about his treasure, he was slashed on the neck with a hand knife, and he fainted immediately.
"It's so noisy! Why are you talking to him so much?"
The instigator rubbed his palms, as if he disliked the parts he had touched Lin Zhangwen and was eager to rub them clean.
"Hahaha, brother, don't you think it's a bad taste?"
"I don't think so. Anyway, all the corrupt officials in this court today have to be killed! They would have died long ago and gone to hell to suffer! I feel sick even when I meet people like Lin Zhangwen! And those concubines, in addition to bullying others, posing with their waists, and showing off Coquettish, I don’t know what other functions it can have. When the country is truly destroyed, won’t it be like singing in the backyard across the river?”
"Oh, brother, your literary talent is really amazing! It doesn't feel like you specialize in our line of work!"
The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end. The man holding the knife Lin Zhangwen was about to chop off the head of the king with a different surname, but was stopped by the man at the door.
"Why are you blocking me? Shouldn't such people be killed? How many refugees are there, how many families are separated from each other! It's all because of these corrupt officials! The national relief food, 10,000 dan, from top to bottom After all the layers of deprivation, how much is left? In the hands of the people, only the husks of rice grains are left. In that bowl of porridge, not to mention the grains of rice, there are not even husks!"
The man who drew the knife became more and more excited as he spoke, and the hand holding the knife couldn't stop shaking. The other man in black was much calmer.
"Brother, it seems that this is your first time trying to kill someone with a knife..."
When his experience was revealed, the person who drew the knife immediately became vigilant. Once he puts on night clothes in this industry, no information from both parties will be revealed, whether actively or unintentionally.
The other person, who is a veteran in the industry, laughed heartily when he saw the other person's guarded look.
"Haha, brother, don't be nervous. I'm not testing you. You can do it yourself, but not here! The employer said that they must all be in Weiyang Palace! There are clear rules in our industry! The employer's word is the rule! Not at all. No violation! So if you want to kill this scumbag, you have to wait until all the people on the list gather together before you can kill him!"
The man who drew the knife snorted coldly, put the blade back into the scabbard, and suppressed the murderous intention in his heart. The man in black, who looked much more mature, clasped Lin Zhangwen's ankles with his hands and looked up.
"Why are you still standing there? Help me carry it!"
In a dark corner a hundred steps away from Weiyang Palace, Su Xuan, who was in ragged clothes, and Nangong, who was covered in silver needles, were squatting and waiting.
