C49

In the dimly lit room, only the candle light could be seen flickering.

"You said you saw this cloth?" Shi Jinchen looked at the dark guard kneeling at his feet, and said coldly.

"Master, your subordinate has indeed seen this piece of cloth before, but it was worn by someone else at that time."

"Oh? "Tell me about it."

It turned out that the hidden guard was one of the guards who had protected the Shi Jinchen in the past. His name was Ying Yi, and at that time, they had been escorting the Fourth Prince to relieve the disasters, but they did not expect to encounter a group of assassins on the road.

How would he know that the guards who were left on the cliff at that time were basically killed, with broken limbs everywhere. And the similarity between these corpses, was that both their eyes had been dug out, and their tongues had been pulled out. It was basically the same as the way the two officials had died.

At that time, the entire team had suffered a one-sided massacre by those assassins, regardless of gender or age, they were all massacred. Among the corpses lying all over the ground, Shadow One's face was covered in blood, and his head was hit by a blunt weapon, but fortunately, the injuries looked terrible, but weren't fatal.

"So, this group of murderers is the same group as the ones who tried to assassinate me." Shi Jinchen squinted dangerously as he spoke.

"This subordinate remembers very clearly that the clothes that those group of people wore at that time were exactly this color. Moreover, there was not only one word embroidered on it."

"What are those words?" Shi Jinchen asked.

"broken sword cliff."

The Xiao Sui on the rooftop was filled with terror. broken sword cliff? Wasn't that the assassin's guild mentioned by Swordshadow Qiu? Could it be that his memory loss and Fourth Prince being assassinated were all part of their plot?

This thought made sense, but why did Jian Qiuying think that he was in cahoots with them? Am I really? It won't happen, don't think too much about Xiao Sui.

The young girl on the roof fiercely knocked on her own head, "How could I possibly be someone from broken sword cliff? Listening to what Shi Jinchen said, this organization seems to be very cruel. Thinking about how both Officer Zhang and Officer Zhao had their eyes dug out, Xiao Sui couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over his body.

"broken sword cliff? I've never heard of this name before, it doesn't seem like a human name. " Shi Jinchen stroked the soft whip on his waist as he squinted his eyes and said: "It doesn't seem to be a human name, but more like an organization."

"Master, your subordinate thinks so too." Shadow One said respectfully.

"You can leave. No one is to know about this." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Investigate this broken sword cliff thoroughly for me. I want the most detailed information on it."

"Yes, sir." The guard carefully retreated after he finished speaking.

Shi Jinchen sat on a chair, seemingly deep in thought. He transmitted to his other secret guard, "Which official is the closest to here?"

"Reporting to Master, it's Lord Cheng."

"Bring a few people with you to protect him. If you can't even handle such a small matter then bring your head to me."

"Yes."

There was silence in the room due to the recovery. Xiao Sui s knew too much today, and just as he was about to find a place to properly digest everything, a voice suddenly came out from inside the room.

"Since you've been eavesdropping for so long, why don't you come down and take a seat?" Shi Jinchen's voice was deep and filled with magnetism, as if the person on the roof was really his friend.

"Eh?" Xiao Sui suddenly felt that something was wrong, flung his leg up, and wanted to escape. A whip appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around her waist, mercilessly pulling her down.

Then, she was joyously hugged by the Shi Jinchen, which also did not expect that she would actually be able to easily pull this little thief down. Borrowing the moonlight and the sensation in her embrace, she could clearly feel that the person in her embrace was a delicate and pretty girl dressed in men's clothes, which was just that this person looked more and more like her …

"Xiao Sui!" Shi Jinchen's voice could be said to be filled with gritted teeth, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the mansion properly? After he finished speaking, he ruthlessly pinched the young girl's slender waist, causing his Xiao Sui to shriek from the pain.

Fourth Prince, I was wrong. I shouldn't have sneaked out. I was secretly peeping at you while you were bathing and eavesdropping on my subordinates. Please let go of my waist! I'm going to break it!" The little man's words made his eyes fill with tears. Being pinched by Shi Jinchen like this made him confess everything that he shouldn't have said.

"So you're the little thief that squatted on the beam that day?" Shi Jinchen lifted his small chin, looking at the woman who cried like pear under the moonlight.

Wuu, that wasn't me. I didn't peek at you taking a bath. I didn't squat on the beam and fall off it. I didn't see anything below your neck!

"…" This stupid woman didn't know what she was talking about.

"You, you two!" Speaking of which, this county was really unlucky. He wanted to go to Fourth Prince to ask if he had any orders, but he just happened to see this scene.

Our handsome Fourth Prince is currently hugging a cute and slender youth and admiring the moon in front of the house (?). Under the bright moonlight, that youth's face is thin and red, with tears flowing from the corners of his eyes. He felt that he had disturbed the good things about the Fourth Prince, so he immediately replied, "I didn't see anything. You two can continue." He had never thought that the Fourth Prince would appear to be heartless on the surface. As it turns out, he was lucky to have said this, so shouldn't he send some handsome youths over in the future?

Xiao Sui, "…"

Shi Jinchen, "…"

"Do you know what your mistake was?" Looking at the young girl in front of him who was crying so hard that her tears were all over her face, Shi Jinchen laughed: "Wipe your tears, why do you love to cry so much? Are you a crying bag?"

"Burp, I didn't do it on purpose." Xiao Sui wiped his face filled with grievance, it was all because of you suddenly pulling me down from the roof beam, and even used such a ruthless strength to pinch my waist, my waist must definitely be green now.

"I order you to go back to where you came from in the morning."

"No, I finally managed to follow you all the way here. I'm not leaving!" She stubbornly looked back at Shi Jinchen, and saw that once again, the Shi Jinchen wanted to give her a windfall.

"So you followed me all the way here in your ugly clothes?" Shi Jinchen sized up the entire place from top to bottom, and finally said disdainfully.

"I'm not ugly. Even if I'm disguised as a man, I'm still a handsome man that's rarely seen in a hundred years!" She had apparently forgotten that she had been wearing this for days and that it had begun to stink.

Shi Jinchen snorted, "Then I order you to go and wash yourself now. If you get too close, you will smell the stench of sweat, and every man will smell more fragrant than you."

"…" Xiao Sui were collapsing. She did not understand why she would always be at a disadvantage in front of Fourth Prince.
