"Haven't found it yet?" Lin Jianyue closed the account book in her hand, looking a little irritated.

Half a month has passed since her second cousin's accident. She vowed in front of her second cousin that day that she would find out everything, but now she has no clue.

With the capabilities of the Long Sword Army, this shouldn't be the case.

"It's because my subordinates are incompetent! The clues are interrupted, and these killers are very clean. They look like people from the Jianghu!" Tingzhou knelt down, looking a little embarrassed.

As the commander of the secret guards of the Long Sword Army, Tingzhou has always been somewhat arrogant. He feels that their Long Sword Army's abilities are abnormal, but he doesn't want to just check the identities of a few assassins, which is enough to stop them from moving forward.

"I know you tried your best! Did you find anything else?" Lin Jianyue asked.

Tingzhou shook his head, looking even more guilty, and only said, "Those assassins seem to be taller, and the position of the tiger's mouth is caused by holding weapons all year round!"

"Check which family in Qingyang City has lost fewer dead soldiers recently!" Lin Jianyue ordered, but at this time Li En hurried into the study, with a bit of interest in his expression.

"Miss, General Chen is here!"

This sentence made Lin Jianyue stunned. Ever since she misunderstood Chen Jingchi that day, she and Chen Jingchi had not seen each other for a long time.

At first, Lin Jianyue really thought that Chen Jingchi was angry with her, but later she found out that Chen Jingchi had been very busy these days. Not to mention his own place, I heard that he only went back to the mansion a few times late at night.

Lin Jianyue had a lot of things to do, but she had completely forgotten about Chen Jingchi.

"Let him come in!" Lin Jianyue pinched her eyebrows and asked Tingzhou to stand up.

At the same time, Chen Jingchi had already entered the house. His tall and strong body carried the air-conditioning outside the house, and he was still wearing a large cloak. His face was still as serious as a knife.

As soon as Chen Jingchi entered the room, his eyes were glued to Lin Jianyue.

After careful calculation, the two of them had not seen each other for more than half a month, and Chen Jingchi was thinking very hard. But I had official duties and couldn't get out of my way. Every time I went back to Qingyang, I was in a hurry and late at night.

He thought about coming to see Lin Jianyue late at night, but remembering that Lin Jianyue was angry with him for breaking into the boudoir without permission last time, Chen Jingchi had no choice but to give up.

Now that he finally had free time, the first thing he did was to see Lin Jianyue.

The two of them just looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Lin Jianyue, in particular, wanted to apologize for what happened that night, but couldn't.

It was Tingzhou who spoke. Although he was just a secret guard, he felt that it was inappropriate to stay here.

"Miss, those corpses can no longer be preserved, should they be destroyed?" Tingzhou asked.

In order to find out the forces behind the dead soldiers, Tingzhou had repeatedly checked the corpses, but unfortunately nothing useful could be found.

Lin Jianyue also knew that the weather was getting warmer now, and the corpse would smell bad if left undisposed.

At this time, Chen Jingchi said, "But those dead soldiers who assassinated Mr. Cheng last time?"

"Yes!" Lin Jianyue nodded. Lin Jianyue was not surprised that Chen Jingchi knew about this matter. It would not be difficult for anyone who wanted to know about this matter.

"Take me to see it!" Chen Jingchi said, but his eyes asked Lin Jianyue for his consent.

Lin Jianyue was stunned for a moment, nodded in agreement, and stood up to follow.

Lin Jianyue remembered that Chen Jingchi was a famous general. Maybe he could really see something. Even if he couldn't see anything, it wouldn't be a problem.

The body was stored in a cellar behind Lin's house. Tingzhou followed from a distance, while Chen Jingchi walked side by side with Lin Jianyue. Lin Jianyue glanced at Chen Jingchi beside her, thought about it and said, "Well, I'm sorry about what happened last time!"

Although it was difficult to apologize, Lin Jianyue felt that she had misunderstood Chen Jingchi and said such hurtful words, and she should apologize anyway.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jingchi looked a little confused and puzzled after hearing this.

"whats the matter?"

Lin Jianyue raised her eyes and found that Chen Jingchi had really forgotten. She thought that the excessive words she said last time would definitely make Chen Jingchi feel uncomfortable, but now she saw that she didn't seem to take it to heart at all.

"Last time, you gave me jujube cakes, but I misunderstood you!" Lin Jianyue explained, her eyes averted for a moment, and her expression was a bit uneasy.

"You don't have to apologize!" At this moment, Chen Jingchi suddenly reached out and patted Lin Mianyue's hair. His broad palm moved gently, with a hint of intimacy.

"I didn't think carefully last time. Everything you said is right! I admire you and respect you. I can't act outside the rules just because you and I are familiar!" Chen Jingchi said, solemnly, "I want to be with you. Apologize!"

Lin Jianyue never expected that Chen Jingchi would think like this. It turned out that this man had such a broad mind, which made her seem a bit petty.

But think about it, Chen Jingchi sold almost all of his house for the sake of those soldiers. How could such an upright man care about everything?

Lin Jianyue's eyebrows were slightly curved, and her eyes were like the crescent moon at night, showing a bit of cuteness and intimacy.

"Then, are we each other?" Lin Jianyue said with a smile, feeling suddenly relieved.

She thought she had forgotten Chen Jingchi these days, but now she realized that she actually cared about Chen Jingchi very much, otherwise she would not be so happy after knowing that Chen Jingchi was not angry.

Chen Jingchi nodded. He looked at Lin Jianyue who suddenly became happy and felt puzzled. But no matter what, as long as Lin Jianyue was happy, he would also be happy.

The three of them came to the cellar, where the body already gave off an unpleasant smell.

Chen Jingchi walked in front of Lin Jianyue and said in a calm voice, "Miss Lin, please go out first!"

But Lin Jianyue did not leave. She walked to Chen Jingchi and told Chen Jingchi with her actions that she was never a poor person who needed to stand behind a man.

Chen Jingchi glanced at Lin Jianyue and smiled dumbly. He was confused. The girl he liked was always so strong.

Chen Jingchi carefully inspected the corpses, then stood up and wiped his palms with a handkerchief.

"This is not a dead soldier from the Dongshan Kingdom, but a dead soldier from the Western Shu Kingdom! People from the Western Shu Kingdom have wider bones, and they ride horses all year round to eat meat. Their mouths are also different from our Dongshan Kingdom people!" Chen Jingchi said.

Chen Jingchi had fought with countless Western Shu soldiers on the battlefield, and he knew Western Shu very well.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jianyue and Tingzhou were shocked. It turned out that something was wrong with the person they suspected.

In an instant, Lin Jianyue understood the intentions of the Western Shu Kingdom. If Cheng Shi was killed in Qingyang and it was found out that it was the Qingyang nobles who did it, then Cheng Jiabao must have enmity with the Dongshan Kingdom.

At this time, if the Western Shu Kingdom intends to recruit, then the huge wealth of Chengjiabao will most likely be the military supplies for the Western Shu Kingdom to attack the Dongshan Kingdom outside the city.

What a vicious strategy!
