Empress, your husband is invincible

When Zhuang Yan heard this, he panicked immediately, hugged Zhuang Shuanglin's arm, and begged for mercy with snot and tears:

"Sister, sister! I was wrong, I really know I was wrong this time..."

Zhuang Shuanglin reprimanded him with a cold face, and Zhuang Shuanglin didn't look at him again.

"Don't you think it's not enough to be embarrassing? Get lost!"

"Young Master, I'm sorry."

Behind her, the two middle-aged men in bunts looked at each other, then dragged Zhuang Yan to the carriage not far away.

Looking at each other, Ye Cheng and Li Baijing immediately pretended that nothing happened.

After a moment of silence, Zhuang Shuanglin led the two of them to a secluded place.

"Something happened."

As soon as the three of them stood still, Zhuang Shuanglin's words instantly brought Ye Cheng and Li Baijing's minds back on track.

With a sullen face, Zhuang Shuanglin slowly said to the two:
"Mo Yuhu was stabbed to death by two female assassins in the prison of the Shadow Guard, and Mo Yuxie saw it with his own eyes.

If it weren't for some careful people in the shadow guard, none of the three of them would survive. "

Ye Cheng and Li Baijing looked at each other, a little confused.

"Now, Mo Yuxie is threatening that he has evidence of contacts between the North and North Desert secret agents in his possession, and wants us to avenge his brother."

Ye Cheng frowned, and looked up at Zhuang Shuanglin:

"what do you think?"

Zhuang Shuanglin replied without hesitation:
"Today's Da Ling is not as good as before, and there are countless people with different ambitions.

If you want to deter those people, you must use thunderous means!

Therefore, it is imperative to avenge Mo Yuxie and dig out the evidence in his hands! "

Li Baijing leaned against the wall and suggested:

"Torture those savages, can't they dig them out?"

Zhuang Shuanglin glanced at Ye Cheng with a strange expression:

"It's useless for me to threaten him with Mr. Ye...

That guy is completely determined to fight those two assassins..."

What I said, it seems that I am more terrible than torture...

With a word of slander, Ye Cheng was also a little frowning for a while.

"Have you informed the Criminal Department and Dali Division in charge of the prison?"

"What's the use of informing them about those gangs of drunks and rice bags? It's just sending a few handymen to deal with it."

Hearing Li Baijing mention this, Zhuang Shuanglin couldn't help being angry.

"Or, why do you think His Majesty deliberately imprisoned some important prisoners in my house?"

Only then did Ye Cheng think of this incident, and his brows were furrowed.

"The Daling court has already declined, is the chaos like this?"

"The first emperor, as well as the previous generations of emperors, ignored the government affairs wholeheartedly, resulting in all the official positions in the court being occupied by some incompetent children of aristocratic families.

However, in recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, refugees are everywhere, aliens invade the border, external turmoil and internal disasters come one after another...

And those aristocratic families are often deeply rooted in the counties and counties where they are located, and they are connected with each other, which has become a trend.

Otherwise, how could His Majesty be so passive now? "

Zhuang Shuanglin looked downcast.

"Speaking of frustration, if it weren't for the support of loyal veterans like my father and Prime Minister Qin, Da Ling would be... eh..."

Zhuang Shuanglin was completely powerless at the end, Li Baijing slowly added a sentence.

"As far as I know, some powerful forces in the world should not be underestimated."

Ye Cheng was confused.

Before, he only thought that Da Ling was just a little bit more difficult, with a little bit of force, he could survive.

But now listening to Zhuang Shuanglin and Li Baijing singing together, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Ling Xuejian.

With Daling's current corrupt situation, it might not be easy to invite the great magister Liu Xiu, right?
Looking up at Ye Cheng and Li Baijing who were thinking about their own things with their heads down, Zhuang Shuanglin forced a smile:
"Right now, Your Majesty is making every effort to govern. It's not impossible to turn the tide of the Great Ling back..."

"Besides, these things are not something we can solve now. Let's talk about Mo Yuxie first..."

Li Baijing raised his head directly:
"Are you worried that those assassins will touch Wuhou Mansion?"

Zhuang Shuanglin frowned and retorted:

"I'm afraid they won't come! Having learned from the previous lesson, I have already ordered my three hundred Phoenix Feather Guards to set up a net around the perimeter.

300 people, all armed with strong bows and crossbows, and the arrow tips are all coated with an enhanced version of Xiaoqisan.

No matter how many people he comes, he is sure to capture them all in one fell swoop! "

Li Baijing was silent for a moment.

"I'm afraid that there will be fish that slip through the net and escape. My lightness kungfu is not bad, but do you still have vacant rooms in Wuhou's mansion?"

"Same, do you need my help?"

Ye Cheng's eyes swept over the two of them, and he took the initiative to invite Ying.

"According to the shadow guard who first discovered the assassin, those two assassins are not so skilled. How can we use Mr. Ye's chopper to deal with them?"

Li Baijing's expression was weird for a while.

Seeing that it was already afternoon, and Ling Xuejian should have finished handling today's government affairs, Ye Cheng resolutely bid farewell to Zhuang Shuanglin and Li Baijing who were bickering.

Zhuang Shuanglin called a carriage parked on the street, and after paying the money, he turned around and left with Li Baijing.

And when the car curtain was lowered, Ye Cheng could still hear the two of them bickering.

"Salary? You live in my house and take care of food and drink. Do you still have the face to ask for wages?"

"No, I'm nameless, and I'm not an official of the court. Are you ashamed of such a dangerous job as catching assassins?"

"That's fine, pay back the money!"

"..."

Shaking his head and smiling, Ye Cheng put down the car curtain, closed his eyes and began to rest his mind.

……

The bearers just sent Ye Cheng to Zhuque Avenue in front of the imperial city.

After Ye Cheng got out of the car on foot, he just waved the tokens in his hands at the dozens of dragon scale guards guarding the Suzaku Gate, and then went straight to the imperial study with the box containing the Phoenix beads.

Ye Cheng not only has an excellent memory, but also has an excellent sense of direction.

In the imperial city with double eaves and verandahs, there is no way to get lost. Turning around, you can go straight from the Zhuquemen to the Imperial Study Room without any hindrance.

But what Ye Cheng didn't expect was that Ling Xuejian had indeed finished handling today's government affairs, but he didn't take a break in the imperial study right now.

After asking the servants on duty, Ye Cheng went straight to the imperial garden under the guidance of two maids.

The Royal Garden is in the northernmost part of the imperial city, not too far from Tingfeng Palace where Ye Cheng lives.

After showing the token to the dozens of Dragon Scale Guards on duty at the gate of the Imperial Garden, Ye Cheng was able to enter.

I don't know if it's Ling Xuejian's personal preference, but most of the trees planted in the imperial garden are bamboo forests, pines and cypresses, as well as various chrysanthemums that are in full bloom at this time.

As soon as he stepped into the imperial garden, Ye Cheng was completely surrounded by the rich and fragrant scent of chrysanthemums.

After walking around several flower beds, Ye Cheng saw Ling Xuejian.

Ling Xuejian was sitting in a gazebo by the lake, leaning against the railing of the gazebo and staring at the koi swimming on the lake.
