"Zhining and I came in together. We'll leave together so that we won't arouse any suspicion." Bing'er looked at Zhining and said.
"I'll leave here with Sihan." Lu Zhao stood up from his stool and said to Sihan.
Sihan smiled faintly at Lu Zhao. It was perfect that they'd come here together and left together.
Gu Ziming, who was standing on the side, couldn't help feeling depressed in his heart when he saw the look in the eyes of Sihan and Lu Zhao. His expression darkened even further.
Until now, after Sihan and the others had left the Violet Bamboo Pavilion, Gu Ziming's expression was still somewhat unsightly.
Before leaving the room, Sihan couldn't help but turn around and glance at Gu Ziming. Seeing that Gu Ziming's expression was a bit unsightly, she couldn't help but be a bit puzzled. Why did Gu Ziming's expression suddenly become so unsightly?
But she didn't think too much about it. He just found out that the old general didn't commit suicide, but rather that Gu Ziming must be in a bad mood. Actually, she really wanted to stay and accompany Gu Ziming, comfort him, and take care of him. But she never said it.
After Sihan and the others left the room, Gu Ziming left. He walked to the general's manor, placed his hands behind his back, and stood in the middle of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
A black-robed guard instantly appeared behind him. "Young General." The black-robed guard cupped his hands and respectfully called out to Gu Ziming.
Gu Ziming turned around and handed the paper in his hand to the black clothed guard, ordering coldly. From today onwards, all of you must follow these people. Remember, do not alert the enemy. "
"Yes, sir." The black-robed guard accepted the order and left.
Being followed by others, Zhining and Bing'er took a few detours around the street before each of them returned to the Sky No. 1 Bureau and the Southern Mansion.
The next day.
The normally prosperous capital city was bustling with noise and excitement. However, an invisible net had quietly opened its mouth and shrouded the entire capital city.
Bing-Er was still dressed as a man. There was a clear scar on her chin. She was walking on the street.
Grandma Lu disguised herself as an old woman begging along the street to follow one of the names on the list. Lian'er and Lu Zhao disguised themselves as a young couple, able to fall in love and follow their target, killing two birds with one stone. Even Xiao Cui was disguised as a peddler selling goods, only she was assigned to follow the mighty general, who everyone thought was the one with the least possibility of selling his country and killing the old general.
Bing-Er pouted and kicked the lion under her feet. She was the only one who was most likely to kill the old general. She was so angry that she wanted to use this chance to make a name for herself! In the end, she had no chance at all.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. She, Liu Bing'er, was so unlucky that she had already solved a few cases, but she actually looked down on her so much!
She lifted the pebble under her foot and prayed in her heart. The mighty general was the one who killed the old general and made the others waste their time. What she was following was the real culprit!
"Hey, who allowed you to randomly kick rocks?" An angry voice was heard from not far away.
Bing-Er was surprised, 'Could it be such a coincidence?'
She raised her head and looked in front of her, only to see a man in a dark blue coat walking towards her with a face full of anger, "Are you blind?" They actually kicked the stone onto the mighty general's body! " The man asked Bing-Er coldly before he got close to her.
Bing-Er was immediately displeased. Anyone who saw it would know that the man in front of her was a fox pretending to be strong, and she hated him the most. She shot a fierce glance at the man in her heart, but her expression was filled with guilt and fear as she looked at him. "Uncle, I didn't do it on purpose." Bing'er bowed her head and apologized to the man.
"It wasn't intentional? Who would believe it? " The man didn't care about Bing-Er's apology. He reached out one of his hands and pushed her on the shoulder, nearly pushing her down.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I really didn't do it on purpose." Bing'er apologized to the man pitifully.
The man's voice was cold. He wanted to go up and attack Bing'er again, but was stopped by the man behind him. "Zhou Fu, forget it."
Her voice was light, but it was especially pleasant to hear.
Bing-Er followed the direction of the voice with curiosity, only to see a man dressed in a noble black robe walking slowly towards her. Although this man had a gentle face and a faint smile, there was a hint of masculinity in his mannerism, and his face was handsome and scholarly, but there was a hint of sternness between his brows, a look she had seen before in the young general Gu Ziming's eyes, a look that no one who had experienced anything in the battlefield would have. His handsome figure, enchanting appearance, and soft and forceful expression were the dream lovers of every single woman. Even someone like her, who was used to seeing all sorts of men, couldn't help but want to give him a few extra glances.
Presumably, this gentle and refined man was the mighty general, Qi Shaowei.
Bing'er rolled her eyes, lowered her head and walked up to Qi Shaowei, "This little one didn't mean to offend Great General, please don't blame this one."
"I think you did it on purpose!" Zhou Fu added on, standing to the side and looking coldly at Bing'er.
Bing'er cursed at Zhou Fu in her heart. As a deputy general by the side of the general, he was actually arguing with a commoner like her. She wondered if he was a 'man'!
"Forget it, he didn't do it on purpose. How could someone who has their head down while walking mean to kick stones into this general's hand?" With that, Qi Shaowei loosened his grip, and a stone fell from his hand onto the ground. The small stone fell right at Bing'er's feet, which was just within her range of realization. Bing'er was shocked. There were bloodstains on the stone!
Bing-Er was even more frightened. She knelt on the ground and said, "Please spare my life, General. I really didn't do it on purpose."
Qi Shaowei glanced at Bing'er and said coldly, "Get up, this general won't blame you, but you have to be careful next time. This time, the one you kick is this general, and this general will be able to receive the small stones, if the one you kick is someone else, then it won't be so simple." There was a heavy tone of reproach in his light voice.
"Thank you. The great general will not blame this little one for her kindness. This little one will definitely take note of it next time." Bing'er said guiltily to Qi Shaowei. At the same time, she felt a little good towards Qi Shaowei. This was the magnanimity a general should have.
"Impudent, you dare to have another try?" Zhou Fu stood behind Qi Shaowei and coldly said, "I don't know why, but he just doesn't like the man in front of them. Although he was bowing to them, his faint arrogance showed that this man was not bowing to them sincerely!"
"No, no, no. This little one absolutely won't dare to have another chance. I definitely won't dare." Bing-Er quickly shook her head, indicating that she had said the wrong thing.
The more Zhou Fu looked at Bing'er, the more he disliked her. He took a step forward and stretched out his hand to throw her to the side, but was stopped by the look in Qi Shaowei's eyes.
Qi Shaowei looked at Zhou Fu blandly. Zhou Fu immediately stopped and stood respectfully behind Qi Shaowei. In the eyes of others, Qi Shaowei had a gentle gaze and a calm expression. However, those who knew him well would know that Qi Shaowei was already angry.
Qi Shaowei looked at Bing'er blandly, then walked over to Bing'er.
Although Zhou Fu was a little unwilling to let Bing'er go, but with Qi Shaowei around, he did not dare to be rash, and could only follow behind Qi Shaowei and leave.
As soon as he walked out, Zhou Fu couldn't help but ask, "General, why didn't you let me teach that little brat a lesson? In your opinion, that little brat purposely kicked and injured you!" Zhou Fu couldn't help but feel a bit of anger in his heart. A Great General with such powerful martial arts skills was rarely injured on the battlefield, but now he was kicked and injured by a smelly brat. How infuriating!
