See this token in front of you.
It feels like the dead memories in my brain are coming back.
A long time had passed, but Zhao Huai still remembered it.
When the corpse was buried in the backyard, didn't the token obtained from the corpse look exactly like this one?
So this person is also an assassin, part of a group?
How long has it been since then, and now he is seeking revenge? This is not how assassins act.
Thinking of this, Zhao Huai once again looked at the man in front of him.
There is a vicissitudes of beard on his face, he stands upright and loose, his energy and blood are surging, there are calluses on his palms, and the spiritual energy around him spontaneously pours in.
He is a monk in the foundation building realm.
Seeing him staring at the token for a while, the resolute man couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Do you recognize this token?"
"I don't recognize it."
Zhao Huai shook his head, and then added: "I just think this token looks very special, why is it only engraved with the word 'tong'?"
"hehe."
The resolute man chuckled, put away the token, glanced at Zhao Huai lightly, and said slowly:
"Seeing this jade order, all cities in Daxia can travel smoothly, and local officials must obey orders."
After hearing this, Zhao Huai suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's it. Official, tell me if you know anything, I will tell you."
This token turns out to be so powerful, it can travel smoothly, and the officials still have to obey orders. It sounds like the emperor's imperial envoy.
Could it be that the original assassin was sent by the emperor?
No, why did the emperor want to kill her wife? Could it be because of genocide and silence?
But isn’t Madam’s family doing well now?
The resolute man said calmly: "I was ordered to investigate the Raven Cult. After reading the Yamen records, I found that a cultist appeared in front of your shop, so I came to investigate."
After Emperor Xia issued the edict, the Tsing Yi Guards went out to various places to eliminate the hidden Raven Cultists. They were willing to kill the wrong ones and not let them go. Many ordinary people were harmed by Chi Yu, while the real Raven Cultists were dormant. Show your head again.
There is a raven branch in Jinzhou, which is a place of serious suspicion. It is not surprising to see people from the Tsing Yi Guard.
Zhao Huai pretended to be thinking, then shook his head after a moment and said: "That morning, I got up and bought a sesame seed cake. When I came back, I saw someone lying on the ground. Apart from that, I couldn't see anyone else. "
The resolute man nodded calmly, and then asked: "Is there anyone else in your family?"
"Are you talking about my wife? She doesn't know anything. She didn't get up yet that morning." Zhao Huai knew that he was talking about Yu Qinghan, so he spread his hands and explained.
"Husband, the soup is almost ready. What's wrong?"
At this time, a female voice sounded in the house.
Yu Qinghan wiped his hands with a towel and walked out.
But when she saw the resolute man, her phoenix eyes became very cold.
The resolute man remained unmoved and smiled at her.
"He came from the capital, saying he was investigating a cult."
As Zhao Huai spoke, he saw the changes in their faces and knew in his heart that this matter was not that simple.
"know?"
Zhao Huai turned his head and asked Yu Qinghan.
"I've seen him in the capital before." Yu Qinghan knew he shouldn't be like this, so he forced a smile.
A faint smile appeared on the face of the resolute man: "Let me introduce myself, Wei Yunlong in green clothes, I have met the noble lady once."
Yu Qinghan frowned and said nothing. She naturally knew who this man was and the origin of Qingyi Wei.
Because she was the one who founded Qingyiwei in the first place.
Originally, the Tsing Yi Guard was just an intelligence organization, specializing in the work of lurking behind enemy lines, stealing military reports, and assassinating spies. However, after the Great Xia was unified and the war ended, it gradually transformed into the emperor's eyes and ears agency.
Before the founding of the country, the Tsing Yi Guards were separated from her hands and handed over to the leadership of her father.
After a few years of development, there were four famous gods: Yunlong, Qinhu, Xuangui, and Yingque. They were not only known as the Four Elephants in Tsing Yi, but they were also the four masters in the capital and the four imperial guards, responsible for protecting the palace. safety.
This Yunlong was originally a disciple of the sect. After violating the rules of the sect, he was expelled from the sect. Later, he joined the Qingyi Guard and worked under her.
However, because of his poor character and often unclean hands and feet, he was repeatedly punished by himself.
In the past, the relationship was between superior and subordinate, but now times have changed, and she has been discharged and returned to work, while Yunlong has been promoted step by step, sitting in the position of the chief of the four Qingyi Guards, and even his cultivation has broken through the foundation.
The atmosphere in the air is very subtle.
Zhao Huai looked carefully and could tell at a glance that the two of them were definitely more than just acquaintances.
They look more like enemies, and they are enemies with a past, not mortal enemies.
He had heard of the reputation of the Tsing Yi Guard.
Aren't they the emperor's eyes and ears, supervising the officials, catching this and that.
But he felt that the green-clad guard was more likely to come to see his wife.
"Let's go after the investigation is over."
Yu Qinghan looked at Yunlong, he had nothing to say and his attitude was very indifferent.
Yunlong stood at the door, tall and with sincere eyes, and said: "Miss, your family asked me to send you a message to go home often."
"It's all over, what's there to see?" Yu Qinghan said calmly.
"Yes, since you have kicked her out, stop saying these high-sounding words and talk about some practical matters. Delivering the dowry is the serious thing." Zhao Huai stood in the middle and said very seriously.
Yunlong glanced at Zhao Huai and couldn't help but frown.
"Grrrrrr!"
Suddenly, the sound of hot soup boiling sounded in the room.
"Hey, the soup is ready!"
Zhao Huai looked back and exclaimed.
Then he glanced at the two of them and shook his head, knowing that the conflict was not resolved yet.
"Okay, let's talk."
After saying that, he entered the house.
"Your Highness Princess, it's the Emperor's sixtieth birthday. Do you really not want to go back and have a look?" Yunlong's eyes were extremely deep.
He really couldn't understand the person in front of him more and more. What on earth did she want to do?
"No need, I might go to his funeral." Yu Qinghan said with a deep look.
"you!"
Yunlong didn't expect that she would actually say such words.
This is his biological father after all!
"Well, what's the use of marrying such an ordinary person?" Yunlong sighed heavily.
"You can't control it."
Yu Qinghan choked on every word he said, and his eyes were always calm.
The expression on Yunlong's face became more and more serious, and he said: "You have to understand that now you have nothing to rely on. Your army, your eyes and ears are all gone, and only the name of a princess is left. Otherwise, you are nothing."
After hearing this, Yu Qinghan was not angry. Instead, he sneered and said, "Oh? Your true colors are finally revealed, so you are here to ridicule me?"
"Incomprehensible."
Yunlong was also helpless. The other party refused to accept the offer, so he obviously had no choice.
"The emperor just wants to see you, that's all. These are his exact words."
He could only say his last words in a serious tone:
"It's been three years. You need an explanation. I always remember that I will no longer pursue the past matters, and I will not disturb your current life. Qing'er, as a father, I only want to see you once."
When Yu Qinghan heard this, his eyes couldn't help but stagnate.
Qinger is her nickname.
When she was a child, whenever she practiced martial arts late, her father would call her by her nickname to comfort her.
When I grew up, I never heard it.
At that time, everything was great and carefree, unlike now, where things and people have changed.
She shook her head and looked up again.
Yunlong didn't know when he had disappeared.
At this time, Zhao Huai walked out of the room with a mouthful of hot chicken soup, placed it on the table, and glanced at the door.
"Madam, is he gone?"
"gone."
Yu Qinghan replied calmly.
At this time, the rain outside the house just stopped, and a craftsman appeared and hung the lantern on the green tree on the street.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Huai couldn't help shouting:
"Old Zhang, it's not the New Year, so why hang up lanterns?"
The craftsman named Lao Zhang turned around and grinned:
"Isn't it the present emperor's sixtieth birthday? The government asked us to hang it up as a bonus!"
"Sixtieth birthday? It's a birthday at this time. The emperor is the emperor."
Zhao Huai clicked his tongue.
