The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

Chapter 14 The Darkness Under the Lights

Zhang Chunting sat in front of the desk, holding a copy of the "Nanhua Sutra" in his hand. When he heard that the letter had his seal on it, he never moved his eyes away from the book.

The candlelight danced, causing the figures on the screen embroidered with mountains and forests behind him to flicker.

The murderer was indeed someone close to Zhang Chunting.

Nine people from the Imperial City Division surrounded the Luyi Tower and occupied all the key positions. Even if a cat left there, at least two pairs of eyes would see it.

The reason why the murderer can disappear out of thin air is because they are colleagues.

The soldiers of the Imperial City Division who were squatting there saw the Imperial City Division robes that were the same as theirs, and they just thought that their teammates were adjusting their positions after receiving the order.

This is the so-called "dark under the light".

There is even another possibility. The murderer was originally one of the eight people. He first followed Gu Shiwei's orders to lurk, then quietly killed people, and then pretended to search for the suspect immediately after the incident. It was perfect.

Gu Shiwei opened the yellowed letter and placed it in front of Zhang Chunting. Zhang Chunting glanced at it and looked away without interest.

"Well. Why couldn't I be the one who sent someone to kill him? After all, I really hate that old man."

Zhang Chunting raised his head, with an indiscernible smile in his eyes.

Gu Shiwei's palms tightened and he did not dare to relax his heartstrings. Zhang Chunting was a moody person, and he might become ruthless at any time.

"My lord, if you want to kill Guan Zhengqing, why go to such trouble. Wei Changming happens to have nothing to do, so it's easy for him to kill someone."

Wei Changming was accustomed to the art of assassins. He could come and go without a trace, like an invisible bat in the dark.He was very good at lightness, and if the two of them hadn't fought many times, she would have been very familiar with his hiding skills and it would have been difficult for her to detect them.

Zhang Chunting's eyes moved to Wei Changming. Wei Changming was shocked and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Sir, my subordinates are not idle..." Wei Changming wanted to cry but had no tears.

He had been in the palace and served as a personal official for so many years, but this was the first time in his life that he had no time to take a bath.

He had already thought about it, and planned to find a wild lake to stay and catch fish for ten and a half days with peace of mind.Then find a steep cliff and jump down, maybe there will be some martial arts adventures.

But before the fish took the bait, Gu Shiwei appeared.

Every step this girl took was like stepping on his face.How could he remember fishing? Apart from practicing martial arts, he was also assassinating Gu Shiwei. After taking a shower, he was even more tired than when he was on duty.

This is not like doing nothing, he is obviously just hanging on his head, stabbing his buttocks, and dancing after hearing the chicken!
Hearing this, Zhang Chunting picked up the book again, but changed the subject, "Where is Song Yu?"

Gu Shiwei pursed his lips, "There is no trace yet. But no news is good news."

The corners of Zhang Chunting's mouth turned up slightly. He gently turned a page of the book and said without raising his head, "Give that letter to Han Shiyan and ask him to avenge me. What a good sword, but it's a pity that it has not been met." to those who will use him.”

Zhang Chunting said, his previously gentle tone suddenly became serious, "Leave the matter of the traitor to Li Sansi, you continue to look for Song Yu."

Gu Shiwei was a little surprised. She didn't have time to think about it, so she bent down and cupped her hands, "No!"

Wei Changming was speechless and followed her example, sneaking out like Gu Shiwei's shadow.After leaving Zhang Chunting's small courtyard, Wei Changming breathed a long sigh of relief.

Without saying a word, he pulled out the dagger and stabbed Gu Shiwei's neck. As if Gu Shiwei had predicted it, he stepped back a foot away.

Wei Changming screamed and stepped forward again. He cursed angrily, "What did you do just now? Did you want to trick me and kill me in front of the adults? We are obviously military generals. We only need hands and feet. Why are you doing this?" Do you need one more head and eight more eyes?"

Gu Shiwei did not draw the sword, but held the hilt to block.

"Master Zhang doubts me and I won't doubt you. What are you worried about? It's just a blessing for you to assassinate me. After all, courtesy reciprocates!"

Wei Changming snorted, and he jumped behind Gu Shiwei in a flash. Gu Shiwei turned over lightly and walked around behind him, first placing the sword on Wei Changming's neck.

Wei Changming scratched his neck and withdrew the dagger.

"No more fighting, I will go to the palace in two days. Have you settled down in Bianjing City? I just need a caretaker for my house, so it will be easier for you!"

Gu Shiwei rolled his eyes at him and put the sword back to his waist.

However, Wei Changming chuckled and put a bunch of keys into Gu Shiwei's hand. He moved his ears to make sure there was no one around, lowered his voice and said to Gu Shinwei, "The Imperial City Division is not a piece of iron. There are more people in Bianjing City who want Master Zhang dead than there are crucian carps crossing the river."

"Be careful and don't die early. I will take back the number one position in the Imperial City Division with my own hands."

"Finding a thief is something that offends people. It's not a bad thing for you to leave it to Li Sansi."

Gu Shinwei was a little surprised. Wei Changming only fought with him in the past and never talked about the affairs of the Imperial City Division. Today, he actually said a few words.

As Wei Changming spoke, he put his hands on the back of his neck and raised his head to look at the sky. It was almost dawn and it was the darkest time of the day.And because it was raining, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and the sky was dark, making it impossible to see the edge.

"There were people who fought with me in the past, but they all died one by one. Only Mr. Zhang and Li Sansi are left."

Gu Shinwei was startled, "Well, if you get this name well, you will live a long life. If you want to live a long life, you can only watch the people around you die one by one."

Wei Changming was obviously not used to this kind of atmosphere. He changed the subject abruptly and said, "What about those eight people? Didn't you say that the murderer might be hiding among the eight of them? Why didn't you check their hands? Robe?"

"Even if I kill someone with a dagger, I can't guarantee that blood won't splatter on me. Even if I don't pull out the murder weapon."

Gu Shiwei raised his eyebrows, "If I find out, do you think I will hide it from the Imperial City envoy?"

After she climbed out of the window of Luyi Building, she immediately summoned eight people, but they were all clean and not stained with any blood.

Lu Yi even had time to clean up Guan Zhengqing's robes. How could the old man from the Imperial City Department not clean up his clothes?

These were all expected things. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she came to the Imperial City Division to resume her duties before conducting a detailed interrogation.

Wei Changming thought about it, "They are all ordinary soldiers. Even if you find out who the murderer is, what's the use? Someone who can imitate Master Zhang's notes and copy a seal is definitely someone close to you." people."
