Murong Yunhai reported back with a haggard expression: "Brother Xingqiu, we searched every corner of the city, but we couldn't find any trace of the huge kitchen cart. I'm afraid he took advantage of the cover of the wind and snow when we were caught off guard.

, has escaped from Shang Mu through other city gates."

There was unconcealable anger on his sinister face, and he was obviously extremely discouraged by this failure.

Jiang Mingyu sneered and said with contempt: "If you can escape from under my nose in the daytime, this Che Hongda really has two brushes. Huang Chaoran actually has such a powerful person under his command. I really underestimate him."

"

Murong Yunhai subconsciously raised his orchid finger and asked doubtfully: "How can you be sure that it was Huang Chaoran who did it and not King Qi who secretly instigated it?"

Jiang Mingyu frowned and moved his stiff shoulders and neck, while analyzing: "First of all, Huang Chaoran and I have just formed a relationship, and the time is right. Secondly, although King Qi desperately wants to kill me, he will not

Using such a despicable poisoning method, in his arrogant eyes, killing me is just like killing an ant, and it will not cost a lot of money. The most important thing is that I heard from the governor that the emperor was very dissatisfied with King Qi's actions on the border and the situation

It is already very disadvantageous. At this juncture, he has no time to distract himself from dealing with me, an insignificant role. Therefore, the mastermind behind this matter can only be Huang Chaoran."

Tuxlow, who had just entered the door, heard only the last sentence, his eyes were bloodshot, his whole body was shaking, and he shouted angrily: "Sir, let's go to the state capital to arrest people."

Tuckslow was now covered with stubble and disheveled hair, like a wounded beast.

He had hated Huang Chaoran deeply for many days, and now he finally found a chance to vent his anger. He exuded overwhelming hatred and murderous intent.

"As long as Huang Chaoran is captured, my subordinates won't believe him. Even with the torture instruments in the prison, we can't get him to confess the truth."

Tukslow gritted his teeth, with a cold glare in his eyes. He was planning to inflict various tortures on Huang Chaoran, and tried every means to force him to submit.

With his unkempt beard, he was almost ready to kill Benzhou City as long as Jiang Mingyu nodded.

He clenched his fists tightly, and the muscles all over his body were tense with anger, as if he was about to rush out and fight the enemy to the death.

Jiang Mingyu shook his head: "If you have no evidence, what can you do to arrest him?"

Jiang Mingyu's face was calm at this time, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned, hiding the turmoil in his heart.

He knew what was at stake and could not act impulsively like Tuxlow.

"No matter how bad Huang Chaoran is, he is also the former governor of the city, Shi, and has the wealthy Huang family and Zhu family as backers. This is impossible."

Jiang Mingyu's tone was calm, but he was already thinking a lot.

The Huang family and the Zhu family are very powerful. To deal with such a powerful force, we must be very cautious and not make any mistakes.

Tukslow could hardly hold back his anger: "Sir, are we just going to swallow our anger and give up?"

Tuxlow's eyes were red at this time, and his whole body was exuding a breath of blood.

The anger he had accumulated over the past few days could no longer be suppressed, and he wished he could immediately cut his enemy into pieces.

Although Murong Yunhai did not speak, he frowned and looked at Jiang Mingyu with burning eyes, waiting for his decision.

Jiang Mingyu sneered: "I'm afraid even if we want to give up, Huang Chaoran won't agree."

Jiang Mingyu smiled contemptuously, but he knew well that this revenge battle was far from over. Huang Chaoran would definitely make a comeback.

Murong Yunhai pinched an orchid finger again: "Brother Xingqiu means that Huang Chaoran's conspiracy will come again in the future?"

Murong Yunhai looked calm on the surface, but he had already planned a countermeasure in his heart. He knew that he must find ways to resolve this crisis in advance.

Jiang Mingyu's tone was calm and sure: "I not only sent Zhu Tianxiang to prison, but also made him lose his official position. Even his father-in-law He Dachuan and brother-in-law He Muchen died in my hands. If it were you, what would you do?

Are you willing to give up?"

Having said this, Jiang Mingyu couldn't help but sigh, Huang Chaoran would definitely retaliate, and the grudge between the old enemies was destined to be difficult to resolve.

Murong Yunhai stroked his chin and thought deeply, sliding his fingers across his beard and frowning. After a while, he finally said: "The other party is hiding, and we are hiding, what should we do?" There was helplessness and worry in his tone.

Tuxluo also said in a rough voice: "Yes, we have to find a way. If the master is tricked by someone, what will Shang Mu do?"

Tuxlow's thick eyebrows were drooped, and his face was covered with stubble. His eyes were staring straight at Jiang Mingyu, exuding anxiety and submission.

The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw heaviness and worry in each other's eyes. The situation was extremely unfavorable to them, and they must formulate countermeasures as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Jiang Mingyu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he raised his head and a light flashed in his eyes: "The plan for now is to strengthen the guards at Shang Mu's four gates as soon as possible and strictly check the people passing by."

"Anyone who behaves suspiciously will be captured immediately and taken to jail to await trial."

Jiang Mingyu's tone was firm and forceful, his words were sharp, and his expression was solemn. He understood that he must nip the danger in the bud and not give Huang Chaoran any opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Firstly, it will prevent Huang Chaoran from causing trouble again, and secondly, it can also prevent foreign spies from waiting for opportunities to sneak in and find out the reality of our army."

Jiang Mingyu put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth, reminding everyone that this move would not only target Huang Chaoran, but also eliminate other potential threats.

"As long as I catch Huang Chaoran's fox tail, I will let him know what regret means?"

Jiang Mingyu's eyes suddenly turned cold, with a hint of murderous intent, and he vowed to make Huang Chaoran pay a heavy price.

If this situation can be tolerated, who will take him, the imperial envoy, seriously in the future?

Jiang Mingyu looked solemn and weighed it again and again. He understood that this matter was of great importance and he could not show any weakness, otherwise he would lose his popularity and prestige.

Murong Yunhai and Tuxluo exchanged glances and understood. Then they raised their hands to Jiang Mingyu and quickly and tacitly carried out the order to strengthen defense to ensure Shang Mu's safety.

While Jiang Mingyu was chewing on dried steamed buns and meditating deeply, Liu Yifei, whom he hadn't seen for many days, suddenly came.

At this time, Liu Yifei was still wearing a red dress, with her sleeves fluttering in the wind.

The skin on her face is as delicate as jade, her cheeks are slightly red, and her beautiful eyebrows are slightly frowned. There is a faint look of worry on her delicate face, and her eyes are full of anxiety and uneasiness. She can't help but clasping her hands, as if she is worrying about something.

.

The sudden appearance of the slim beauty made Jiang Mingyu quickly swallow the dry steamed bun in his hand, and then a bright smile appeared on his handsome face again.

He asked in surprise: "Miss Liu, why are you here? Sit down quickly." After saying that, he quickly made way for Liu Yifei to take a seat.

Seeing that Jiang Mingyu was safe and sound, Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, her beautiful eyebrows stretched out, and her nervous expression disappeared, replaced by relaxation and relief.

She bowed to Jiang Mingyu gracefully and then spoke softly.

"I heard that your Excellency was assassinated, and my father was very worried. However, he was busy with affairs, so he asked the daughter of the people to come and have a look."

Liu Yifei's voice was clear and pleasant. When she spoke, she kept tightening her clothes with both hands, as if she had experienced a long period of worry and anxiety.

Nowadays, the matter of Jiang Mingyu sending people to arrest people has already been discussed in Shang Mu Chuan.

This made Liu Yifei even more uneasy, and finally couldn't help but come to visit Jiang Mingyu in person.

Jiang Mingyu smiled softly: "Thank you, Boss Liu, and the girl for caring about me. Look, isn't this all good for me?"

As he spoke, he waved his strong arms, showing his refreshing demeanor and looking full of energy.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei sighed quietly, frowned again, and tears flashed faintly in her eyes: "You have a heavy responsibility, and you must be careful in everything from now on.

The people of Shangmu still hope that you can lead us to defeat the foreigners, so that everyone can stand up and be a good person."

Liu Yifei's eyes were full of worry and expectation, and her voice was trembling, as if she was very worried about Jiang Mingyu's safety.

Jiang Mingyu smiled gently again and said seriously: "I have written down what you said."

"By the way, you have reminded me that you and your family should be more careful in the future."

Jiang Mingyu changed the subject, furrowed his thick eyebrows, and his expression became serious and solemn.

With that said, he explained to Liu Yifei in detail that Huang Chaoran was the mastermind behind the scenes: "Miss Liu, please tell me something you shouldn't say."

Jiang Mingyu's tone was sad, his eyes were deep, and there was no trace of the smile on his face.

"This incident all started because Zhu Tianxiang had evil intentions towards you, and it was because you provided evidence that Huang Chaoran lost his official position."

Jiang Mingyu narrated the story in detail, with sonorous words, allowing Liu Yifei to fully understand the causes and consequences.

"So Huang Chaoran can assassinate me, and he will not let you go easily. You must not be careless and give the bad guys an opportunity."

Liu Yifei's pretty, flower-like face suddenly lost all color, and there was a faint hint of fear in her beautiful eyes. Her voice trembled, and her beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted: "What should I do?" Her beautiful hands couldn't help but clasped together, obviously being attracted by Jiang.

Ming Yu's words were deeply frightening.

Jiang Mingyu was silent for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "Girl, don't worry, I will send someone to guard the Liu family's house day and night."

"Don't worry, even if I try my best, I won't let the bad guys hurt you at all."

Jiang Mingyu's attitude was firm, and his tone revealed his concern and strong desire to protect Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei was filled with embarrassment, her pretty little face suddenly turned red, and she said in a low voice: "Sir, it's inappropriate to go to such great lengths for a woman like me, isn't it?" Her slender hands couldn't help twisting the corners of her skirt.

Jiang Mingyu waved his hands sternly: "What does this mean? Boss Liu has taken great care of the people of Shangmu. This is all within the scope of my official duties."

"Besides, Miss Liu is also my official..."

Liu Yifei blinked her bright, watery eyes and asked shyly: "What is it for adults?"

Jiang Mingyu saw this and quickly covered it up: "Besides, the girl is my friend, how can I just sit back and watch?"

Liu Yifei's shy expression became even worse, her face was still flushed, and she barely raised the corners of her mouth: "In that case, I'll thank you, sir."

One day later, Zhoucheng.

Snow was falling heavily outside the window, and the flying snowflakes were dancing and spinning in the gloomy sky, but Huang Chaoran's face was colder and gloomier than the snowstorm outside the window.

His eyes were sunken, his temples were gray, and his furrowed brows showed overwhelming anger. He stared at the assassin who had once worked under the alias of Shang Mu, and asked one word at a time: "What did you say?"

, failed?"

Che Hongda trembled all over, and big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He sighed with great regret, his eyes wandered, and he did not dare to look directly into Huang Chaoran's eyes: "After poisoning the dish, I have been hiding in the dark.

Observe everywhere. Jiang Mingyu is about to eat something, but who would have thought..."

At this point, his voice was choked with sobs, and he stuttered and told Huang Chaoran about the dead rat that suddenly appeared and hindered the poisonous plan.

Huang Chaoran's face suddenly became as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm, as if lightning of punishment would fall at any time: "Jiang Mingyu, this damn beast, is really lucky."

"You are an incompetent fool. Although you have escaped, he must have become wary. What do you think we should do now?" Huang Chaoran frowned tightly, looking grim and confused, filled with murderous intent.

Che Hongda, who should have sighed, instead smiled sinisterly and uncharacteristically: "There is no way."

"Although I failed to kill Jiang Mingyu during this trip, I discovered something, something that could kill Jiang Mingyu."

"As long as this matter is exposed, even if Jiang Mingyu has eight heads, he won't be enough for the court to chop off."
