Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 201 One Way to Darkness

She didn't understand, so, "Huh?"

"The third time," he said, "this is the third group of assassinations I have encountered since I took over the task of supervising the construction of the canal."

It is said that there are only three incidents. The first two times he was lucky to escape, and this time he was able to meet Nan Zhen, which was a blessing in misfortune.

Lin Jue strongly agreed with the construction of the canal, so when His Majesty offered to entrust him with this task, he readily accepted it.

He knew that this was a test and an opportunity.

"Such a huge project will definitely touch the interests of some people in the DPRK. I am not surprised that they will send people to assassinate them."

The wind came in through the cracks in the wall, and it was a bit cold. Lin Jue rubbed his arms, and continued, "But this time it must have cost money."

He has been practicing martial arts since he was four years old, and ordinary assassins can't do anything to him.

Over the years, there have been even fewer situations that could push him to a desperate situation.

Nan Zhen agreed with his words very much, "You are indeed valued enough to allow the people behind you to buy a killer from the Red Ghost League to take your life."

The Red Ghost League specializes in this kind of killing business, from high-ranking officials and aristocrats to civilian bandits, they can all be their targets.

Nan Zhen also encountered it once, it was like a dog's skin plaster, very difficult to deal with.

"The Red Ghost League?"

Lin Jue had heard about it, but she never expected that one day she would be associated with this kind of killer organization, so she smiled wryly, "You really think highly of me."

In the darkness, his eyes were burning, "How did the empress know?"

He is not familiar with him, let alone Concubine Li.

She was in a deep boudoir before she got married, and lived in the harem after she got married. No matter how you think about it, she doesn't seem like someone who can get in touch with these things.

Nan Zhen didn't answer, she just looked back calmly, her half-smile face was reflected in the dim light, Lin Jue knew she was talking too much, and quickly said, "I won't ask any more."

Everyone has secrets, as long as they don't hurt themselves, there is no need to get to the bottom of it.

Seeing that he was so knowledgeable about current affairs, Nan Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly, changed the subject, and asked more concerned, "Are you afraid?"

Lin Jue understood some prefaces that didn't make sense.

After thinking seriously for two seconds, he said, "Don't be afraid."

Nan Zhen smiled, "There will probably be more similar things in the future."

"It doesn't matter," Lin Jue rarely joked, "I met a fortune teller when I was young, and he said that my fate is very hard, and I will definitely live to live a hundred years."

It doesn't matter if you say he is stupid or stubborn, as long as it is the path he believes in, he will go all the way to darkness.

The more pressure the opponent puts on, the more he can arouse the resistance in his bones. Let's see who can grit their teeth and resist until the end.

Nan Zhen nodded appreciatively, got up, took out the golden sore medicine in her arms and threw it to him, "I should go back to the palace, you can rest here for a night, and go out when the sun rises tomorrow morning, it's safer."

She knew that Lin Jue was seriously injured and could smell a faint smell of blood from a foot away, so it was not good to forcefully go back home at this time.

Lin Jue froze for a moment, picked up the dark blue round-bellied vial that fell on his clothes, "Is this made by the Imperial Hospital?"

"Ah."

When Xiao Rongxi gave it to her, she carried it directly on her body, thinking that it would always come in handy.

No, it's just right.

Nan Zhen met his gaze, thinking that he had some concerns, and just when she was about to speak, she heard him say, "Thank you, ma'am."

Life is at stake, so there is no need to pay attention to these virtual etiquette.

Nan Zhen nodded in response, didn't say anything more, and left straight away. When she returned to the palace, the fourth watch had already passed.
