In the evening, Bing Lanyue received a message from Broken Stream. They had already found Ru Zui but she was not there.

Bing Lanyue cried bitterly.

Nian Qiu and Meng Xia were the ones who were given to her by Monarch Moli, her character being the most stable. Over the past three months, when they were at the imperial palace with nothing to do, she and Meng Xia had both asked Huo Feng for guidance in martial arts.

Furthermore, he had previously helped out at Red Dust Inn's kitchen and counter, so it could be said that he had done his best.

Meng Xia cried until there was no sound, only that her eyes kept on leaking tears.

"Let's go!" Bing Lanyue endured the pain in her left shoulder and boarded the palanquin.

Under Broken Stream's lead, Bing Lanyue was shocked to discover that they were heading towards the Upper Forest Garden.

There were many hills in the Upper Forest Garden, and also many valleys. Since there were few people here, and also because of Xuanyuan Jin's body, only New Army was present.

The Upper Forest Garden was very big, and under the lead of Broken Stream, they finally met Ru Zui in the deep mountains of the Upper Forest Garden in a roundabout way.

Ru Zui was holding onto a rope in her hand, and at the place where the rope was connected, there was a man in black whose face was covered in blood.

"Stop!" Bing Lanyue got off the palanquin, and rushed in front of Ru Zui as she asked: "Where did you go? Why did Nian Qiu die? "

Ru Zui knelt on the ground with a thump, and said: "Master, this servant is willing to accept all kinds of punishments.

Bing Lanyue gritted her teeth and said, "I already know that Nian Qiu is dead, but who is this guy behind you?"

She saw that Ru Zui also had some blood sacrifices on her body.

"The only survivor is Quin Niu, he is one of the top ten assassins in the martial arts world." Ru Zui licked her dry lips and said: "Ever since Empress Dowager caused trouble, this servant's heart towards Master can be seen from the heavens."

Bing Lanyue knew in her heart that with so many people present, Ru Zui must have many secrets that she could not divulge. She gave up pursuing the matter, only saying, "Broken Stream, send half of your men to escort Ru Zui and the assassin to the New Army's camp."

Bing Lanyue glanced at the exhausted Ru Zui and said, "The rest of the assassins are dead?"

Duan Liu stepped forward: "Yes, someone threw a map over. The map indicated that the ravine not even two miles away was filled with corpses, and this subordinate had brought a person disguised as sneaking in to find the corpses of Nian Qiu and many assassins."

Bing Lanyue said in a dejected manner: "Meng Xia, bring a few people with you to bury Nian Qiu's corpse properly, I won't be going."

They were all dead, and had all died in Upper Forest Garden.

How did the people who tried to assassinate him got out of the city gate openly and to the Upper Forest Garden? And more importantly, how did Nian Qiu track Ru Zui to this place, and get killed?

Bing Lanyue sat on the ground with her back against a large tree, as she thought slowly with his eyes closed.

Ru Zui is someone from the Empress Dowager, or is she...

"Broken Flow, come here for a bit." Bing Lanyue opened her eyes and summoned Broken Stream over.

Duan Liu moved in a flash to stand in front of Bing Lanyue, kneeling down on one knee: "First Miss, what orders do you have?"

Bing Lanyue asked: "Earlier, you said that Ru Zui could be the person who investigated Dragon-guarding Race?"

Duan Liu was silent. Because none of his news had any evidence, he did not dare arrogantly come to a conclusion.

"I'm just suspicious. This time, everything seems to be controlled by someone. I don't like this feeling." Bing Lanyue said dejectedly, "For example, the assassin this time, Empress Dowager had died for such a long time, and the forces of Jun Family had been suppressed to the point where they couldn't even raise their heads. Logically speaking, the Empress Dowager was gone, and the empress dowager had begun managing the household.

When this subordinate was at the General's Estate, he had once carefully checked each and every slave one by one. He had especially investigated the servants at the side of the second wife, Ru Zui, who had no parents, and was brought in from outside by the second wife at the age of twelve.

"And then?" Bing Lanyue was a little interested.

Duan Liu said, "Then it was gone."

Bing Lanyue pondered for a moment. Since Ru Zui was someone close to Empress Dowager, there was no need to lie. She suspected that Ru Zui still had another identity.

"First Miss, do you want to go to New Army's camp now?" Broken Flow was feeling a little anxious.

Because this place was very far from the New Army's camp, no one knew what would happen next. He had already sent out half of his troops to protect Ru Zui and the remaining assassin.

Bing Lanyue had been together with her for a while, but today, they had actually died in the wilderness. She had never met them before, how could she feel at ease?

"Let me see Nian Qiu's last time." Bing Lanyue raised her head and looked at the big tree, trying to hold back her tears.

After a while, Meng Xia and her buddies finally returned. Most of these brothers came from the Red Dust Inn, and all of them had eaten the food personally cooked by Nian Qiu before.

Bing Lanyue ran over and looked at Nian Qiu on the stretcher. Nian Qiu closed her eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

"Nian Qiu, go well. If this world also has a Yin Master Underworld, find Chun Er and be her companion." Bing Lanyue sighed, and then boarded her palanquin.

The sun set in the west, illuminating half of the sky.

The setting sun was as red as blood.

On the way, they depressingly arrived at New Army's camp, where Ye Lang personally watched over the assassin.

"Quin Niu! I know you are called Quin Niu, speak, who told you to assassinate me. " Bing Lanyue stared intently at the person kneeling on the ground.

Quin Niu snorted, and turned away.

Bing Lanyue knew that interrogating him was a meticulous and cannot be rushed, so she asked Ye Lang to bring over a chair and sit there. She said: "You should know that maintaining silence in front of me is not possible."

Everyone had a weakness, even the well-trained assassins. She knew that the execution would be useless against such people.

Broken Flow had been standing aside all this time, and one of his brothers had come close to whisper something in his ear.

"Eldest Miss, I'm afraid only Hades is smiling." Broken Flow deliberately very loud.

Wu Min? Bing Lanyue doubtfully glanced at Duan Liu, but when she saw the faint smile on Duan Liu's face, he instantly understood what was going on.

"Your boss, the Snow Mountain Sect Leader, and Prince Mutu of Qiuyun Nation is him?" Bing Lanyue asked.

Quin Niu said with a hoarse voice, "Since you know about our killing organization, what are you waiting for? Hades is just a second-rate hitman in the organization, and a minor character like him would have to respectfully bow in front of me! "

"Sanguinarum!" Duan Liu exclaimed, and asked in disbelief: "You actually belong to the Sanguinarum! Young miss, you can't touch this person! "

Bing Lanyue looked at Duan Liu strangely, she realised that everyone was looking at Quin Niu who was kneeling on the ground with terrified eyes.

"Sanguinarum? "What is it?" Bing Lanyue stood up, walked up, and ruthlessly slapped Quin Niu in the face, and said: "So what if I do move?"

A portion of the disciples had already gone to the Dragon Gate Inn. What kind of martial arts sects wouldn't be able to touch them?

Duan Liu swallowed his saliva and said: "Among the Twelve Zodiac Temples, Spirit Rat is the most respected. The crow that tried to assassinate the young miss outside the city was only an errand runner. Sanguinarum has existed in the martial arts world for hundreds of years."

Bing Lanyue playfully looked at Quin Niu, and said: "What's wrong, it's an established assassination organization."

Quin Niu laughed out loud: "Miss Bing, don't waste your time. If one of me dies, then there are still eleven top-notch experts who can take your life."

"NO!" Ten! " Ru Zui walked into the camp with a gloomy face.

Bing Lanyue suddenly thought of how Quin Niu, who was known as a top-notch expert, had been captured by Ru Zui? Could it be that Ru Zui...

"First Miss, this subordinate is the Snake Dance, the Twelve Lives Assassin from Sanguinarum." Ru Zui said: "At that time, Empress Dowager let this subordinate infiltrate into Sanguinarum, and coincidentally, Dancing Snake died just before, so I replaced the quota and was sent into General's Estate to wait in ambush."

A serial crossbow suddenly appeared in Duan Liu's hand and pointed at Ru Zui as if it was facing a great enemy.

Bing Lanyue did not know how strong the Sanguinarum was, but looking at the panic on the faces of Duan Liu and the other brothers, she knew that the Sanguinarum was probably an extremely terrifying organization.

Duan Liu, since Ru Zui has introduced herself, I believe she will not harm me, right, Ru Zui? Bing Lanyue finally understood why Ru Zui had been able to escape calamity together with the Madam Lin when their general was exterminated.

Double agent.

"Are you the Snake Dance that hasn't appeared for more than ten years?" Quin Niu turned his head in disbelief.

"There is only an empty shell left on the Sanguinarum. Those ten, other than the galloping horse and golden chicken, have already withdrawn from the martial arts world. Young miss need not worry." Ru Zui said: "This subordinate is afraid that Big Miss will not believe every word I say, so I can only do it this way."

Bing Lanyue was still half believing and half doubting Ru Zui.

She knew that she didn't have that much charisma to make a double-sided spy submit to her. But since she had exposed her identity, Bing Lanyue asked: "Do you know who assassinated me?"

Ru Zui shook her head: "The Sanguinarum is currently controlled by the golden chicken. Other than Quin Niu and the golden chicken, I'm afraid no one else knows the secret.

Didn't that mean it was a waste of time? Bing Lanyue lowered her head and said: "Quin Niu, I have faith in you, as long as you speak of the mastermind, I will let you go, and give you a hundred thousand silver, so that you will never have to worry about food and clothing again."

Quin Niu chuckled, and said: "A hundred thousand is too much, I can't carry it. You should keep it for the coffins of the people from Longmen Escort Office."

"Ye Lang." Bing Lanyue was getting angry.

Ye Lang had long been impatient, he immediately pulled up his sleeves and prepared to torture Quin Niu.

Duan Liu stood in front of Ye Lang and stopped him, "Eldest Miss, none of the people from Sanguinarum are afraid of torture. It would be better to let Imperial Physician Wu come."

Bing Lanyue thought for a while, then said: "Ye Lang, it's getting dark, I have yet to eat dinner, it's getting late, the rats that have slept for the whole day probably haven't eaten dinner either, go and get your subordinates to catch some rats."

It was almost night and the city gate was probably closed. If Wu Min came alone, she would not be able to rest at ease, if a large group of people escorted her, the Sanguinarum that had already received news would invade her homeland.

Huo Feng was still lying on the bed, injured.

Ye Lang's heart secretly thumped, could it be that these rats wanted to eat Quin Niu?
