Jianming Chaos

"These assassins look like shadows, and they don't feel their existence at all." Master said with a frown.

"That's because they are good at using tricks. First of all, these assassins are daughters. The rigorous training on weekdays makes them as light as a swallow and as difficult to catch as a loach; in addition, they wear night clothes made of a special material. In the dark night, people will have the illusion that they are shadows. This is why they choose to act in the early morning; in the daytime, this night suit will be invalid.” Zhiming analyzed.

"Then who is the mastermind behind them?" Zhao Yun asked.

"The captain of the navy, Zhou Yu." Zhiming said word by word.

"Isn't it an alliance between the two armies? Why did he do this?" Zhao Yun couldn't figure it out.

"As I said last time, in order to gain control of Jingzhou. The battle against Cao Cao has been fought, and the next stage is the part where our army competes with Soochow for Jingzhou." Zhiming explained.

"Just for this purpose, such indecent means are used!" Zhao Yun was filled with indignation.

"That's right, he must have a bargaining chip in his hands to have a chance to ensure that our army does not get Jingzhou. Jingzhou is very important to Soochow; but it does not mean that our army can hand it over. After all, Lord Liu Biao originally wanted The state seal was awarded to the emperor's uncle, and he had missed an opportunity before, and this time he must not miss it again! I think Zhou Yu has two purposes: one, to assassinate Mr. Liu Qi, so as to avoid future troubles, and at the same time to pave the way for taking down Jiang Xia; two, Kidnapping the family of Army Division Kong Ming to force our army to give up Jingzhou. Unfortunately, with the two of you present, the plan failed. Because Mr. Liu Qi was not in Jiangxia, he was also lucky to escape. That is to say, Zhou Yu has so far conspired I haven't succeeded yet." Zhiming raised his brows and said with a little complacency.

"From your tone, it seems that you already know the identity of the assassin?" Master asked.

"It's almost inseparable, I have to verify it."

"Where to go to confirm?" Master always felt that he came and went in a hurry.

"It's not far from here." Zhiming was about to leave when he suddenly knocked on the head, "Oh no, I overlooked one thing! Mrs. Gan and the young master are also in Jiangxia. I didn't see them last time. I didn't see them all at once. Come to think of it. They shouldn't be kidnapped by assassins, right?"

After hearing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief.Zhiming was puzzled.

"Mr. Liu Qi had a premonition that Jiang Xia was not safe, so he sent someone to escort them here. Master Zhuge Jin hid them well in order not to let Zhou Yu know about this. They should still be resting in the bedroom. " Zhao Yun explained.

"I see, it almost scared me out of a heart attack." Zhiming felt relieved.

"Alan has already woken up, do you want to see her?" Master asked.

Zhiming hesitated for a moment, then nodded.The master took him to see Alan.

After asking for warmth, Zhiming said: "Stupid girl, you stay here and take good care of Master, the matter will be over soon, and I promise to send you back to Helong Mountain as soon as possible."

"Brother, so I am not dreaming, you are really back!" Alan was very happy after seeing his brother, although he knew he could only stay for a while.

After Zhiming comforted her, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Miao was here, and asked, "Where is Xiao Miao?"

"Oh, she had a good time with Princess Shangxiang recently, so she went to sleep with the princess." Alan said.

"Do you know where Princess Shangxiang's bedroom is?" Zhiming asked.

"Lord Zhugejin should know, but he hasn't been in the mansion these two days." Zhao Yun said.

"Then who else knows?" Zhiming didn't want to spend time searching the entire Wu Palace.

"I know." At this moment, a clear and moving voice like a silver bell came.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Huang Yueying walking over in her pajamas.

"Miss Huang, is there too much noise and disturbing you?" Master asked.

"What's the matter, Master Guo, I still hate myself for not being able to help." Huang Yueying smiled with bright eyes and bright teeth, her whole body exuded a kind of natural beauty, without any modification.

"Miss Yueying, do you know where Princess Shangxiang's bedroom is?" Zhiming asked while secretly envious of Kong Ming.

"Just about 200 meters west of the Imperial Study Room, there is a 'Yuqing Palace', where the princess and her maidservants live." Huang Yueying got the information from nowhere.

"Since we live together, it will be much more convenient." Zhiming knew where the Royal Study Room was.

"What's convenient?" Alan heard a hint of evil feeling.

Zhiming knew that she was thinking too much, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I went to the princess to ask her something."

"Ask her what?" As a junior, Alan asked in an elder tone.

"About the assassin's identity." Zhiming didn't want to explain too much, and said, "You guys wait here for my news, the result will be out soon."

What else did Alan want to ask, Zhiming was afraid of being delayed, so he hurried away from the public eye and hurried to the imperial study.He didn't want to abuse black hole magic anymore, after all, it would cause too much harm to his body.

The Wu Palace is indeed very big, like a city, and it took Zhiming a long time to finally come to the vicinity of the Imperial Study Room.He went in the direction Yueying said, and saw the plaque of Yuqing Palace.

"Do you want to go in? It's full of women!" Zhiming didn't want to go in directly, for fear of being hanged up and beaten as bad elements.

Coincidentally, Sun Shangxiang walked out holding Miao Miao's hand. It seemed that they were going somewhere to play.

When they saw Zhiming, they were stunned.Sun Shangxiang asked with a surprised face: "General Lei, why is it you? Are you here for morning exercises or for a walk?"

"Brother Zhiming, why are you here? The clothes look weird." Xiao Miao also felt strange.

"Are you guys going out to play?" Zhiming didn't answer them directly.

Sun Shangxiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, I want to take Xiao Miao to the downtown market for a while. How about together?"

Zhiming knelt down, stroked Xiao Miao's face, and said, "Xiao Miao, you can play next to me for a while, I have something to say to the princess."

Xiaomiao looked at Sun Shangxiang.Sun Shangxiang nodded and agreed.

Looking at Xiao Miao's innocent and lively back, Zhiming said casually: "It seems that this little guy gets along well with you, it's really rare!"

"What do you mean? Do you mean that a lot of people don't get along with me?" Sun Shangxiang heard a faint sound.

"No...that's not what I meant." Zhiming realized that he had slipped his words again, and quickly corrected him, "I mean, she is just a child, and she can get along well with you, indeed..."

Seeing her brows start to move closer to the center of her eyebrows, Zhiming knew that he had said something wrong again, and continued to correct him: "My expressive skills are not very good, you understand. Actually, I just want to say, you... are a good person."

Sun Shangxiang was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and smiled and said, "Your dialect skills are really mediocre, didn't you go to a private school when you were young?"

"It's true that I haven't gone to school before." Zhiming smiled embarrassedly, "Most of my knowledge is taught by my master and learned in the barracks."

Sun Shangxiang didn't want to pursue it any further, and asked, "Then did you come to find me on purpose today?"

"That's right, there is something I want to ask you." Zhiming suddenly withdrew his smile and said seriously.

"whats the matter?"

"I want to know, has your servant girl been doing anything lately?"

"What do you mean? I don't understand." Sun Shangxiang's eyes narrowed.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhiming moved closer and said, "I suspect that there are killers among your maidservants."

The reason why he said this was because he couldn't see a trace of tension and fear in her eyes just now, which was enough to prove that Sun Shangxiang was not an assassin, and he didn't even know about assassins.

Sun Shangxiang was really surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

Zhiming didn't hide anything, and directly told her about the assassin in Zhugejin's mansion, and told her the basis for his judgment.

After Sun Shangxiang heard this, worry flashed across his eyes, and he said, "Could it be that it's really them?"

"Who are they referring to?" Zhiming felt that he was getting closer to the truth.

After careful consideration, Sun Shangxiang said, "That happened a few years ago. At that time, Wu Gong recruited a new group of maidservants. I was supposed to take care of them all, but Master Zhou Yu wanted to transfer some of them to his army. I didn't quite agree with it at first, he said, how about borrowing some time first, he wants to train them into a "shadow army" with high martial arts skills. People who would not easily reveal their identities for surprise missions. He also said that they were trained to better protect me. After all, Shanyue would often come out to make troubles, so I was prepared. I didn’t think about it at the time, so I randomly selected eight people for him. A year later, they came back. On the surface, they were maidservants, but in fact they became my personal bodyguards. I also learned some of my martial arts from them. I thought about it later, maybe Zhou Yu wanted to train a few people Be Xiao Qiao's personal bodyguard, but I haven't seen him mention it."

"I see. No wonder the first time I met an assassin in Jiangxia, I felt that her moves were somewhat similar to yours. At that time, I even suspected that the assassin was you." Zhiming also spoke bluntly.

"Please, think about it with a pig's brain. How could I become Zhou Yu's assassin? My brother is a dignified Marquis of Wu! He might be the king of a country in the future! Even if Zhou Yu had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to order me to do this Do you want to do something?" Sun Shangxiang shook his head with a look of disdain.

"That's, that's, I was thinking too much at the time. But I quickly guessed that these assassins should be your handmaidens. After all, I have fought with some of them and know that they know martial arts."

"I taught those few last time, not them; but I know who they are, they are the eight maidservants I seconded to Zhou Yu a few years ago." Sun Shangxiang had confidence in her heart.

Zhiming couldn't help swallowing, and said, "As the princess of Soochow Wu, you are treated really well! Are these all your personal maids and bodyguards?"

"Of course, but the ones who have the best relationship with me are those who were beaten up by you last time." Sun Shangxiang said this with a trace of resentment.

"My fault, my fault..." Zhiming still apologized for the heavy attack last time.

"In this way, Zhou Yu planted a time bomb beside me. If I knew at that time that he was training assassins, I definitely would not have agreed." Sun Shangxiang said regretfully.

"Actually, I think that Governor Zhou will not attack you. He trained them to protect you more powerfully, including Xiao Qiao; but the most important point is that he hopes to have a group of shadow killers like this. Carry out secret missions for him at all times. As the saying goes: Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while. No, they will come in handy. Therefore, the identities of these eight people are not only your bodyguards, but also his secret weapons."

"Are you sure they are assassins?" Sun Shangxiang was afraid that Zhiming might make a mistake.

"I'm sure. I deliberately cut the wrists of two of them with a knife. If I'm not mistaken, they should be recovering from their wounds in the Yuqing Palace. You can go back and see whose wrists are injured." Zhiming said confidently.

Sun Shangxiang believed it.She looked at Xiao Miao who was playing alone nearby, and said: "I have wanted to have a younger sister since I was a child. Since I saw Xiao Miao last time, I wanted to recognize her as my younger sister. I didn't know that she had no relatives. Once she came to me, told me about the situation, and said that you and I are her relatives, and hoped to be my sister. My heart melted at that time, and I directly regarded her as my own sister. Therefore, I must Protect her and never allow anyone to hurt her and her family!"

After hearing this, Zhiming finally let go of a big rock in his heart. He knew that with Sun Shangxiang's relationship, those assassins would never dare to do anything wrong.Zhou Yu probably wouldn't expect to be killed, because the arrival of Xiao Miao made Sun Shangxiang extremely concerned about this matter, and thus ensured the safety of Huang Yueying and others from the side.All of this has long been expected by Kong Ming, which is why he arranged for Liu Feng to send Xiaomiao over.

Zhiming, freed from worries, was about to leave when Sun Shangxiang suddenly said solemnly, "Did you forget something very important?"

"What's the matter?" Zhiming was taken aback.

"The last time you came to ask my brother to borrow a crystal ball, what did you say?" Sun Shangxiang gave him a hint.

Zhiming thought about it carefully, then patted his head: "I remember."

"Then what are you going to do?" Sun Shangxiang looked at him mischievously.

"Let me tell you...the reason first. I...borrowed the crystal ball to...save people." Zhiming stammered.

"Save people? Can a ball save people?" Sun Shangxiang was puzzled.

Seeing that the other party seemed to have something hard to say, she thought for a while and said, "Okay, I won't make things difficult for you. But, you said you would teach me martial arts, so you shouldn't lie to me, right?"

Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course not. I'll teach you a few tricks now."
