At midnight, the Purple Orchid Pavilion is still so noisy, but the singing, dancing, drinks and dishes in the Purple Orchid Pavilion have been temporarily stopped because it is the time for the singers and maids to take turns.

It is impossible for the singers and maids to entertain the whole night as enthusiastically as these men. They also work in two shifts, responsible for the first half of the night and the second half of the night.

Hong Yu, who was wearing a light green dress, returned to her room with a face full of exhaustion. She was about to take off her dress and rest, but when she saw the empty bed opposite her, she couldn't help but pat her snow-white bed with her bare hands.

Smooth forehead.

"I'm really exhausted. Why did I forget to promise Sister Nongyu to take care of the lyre for her tonight?"

Muttering to herself, Hong Yu rubbed her somewhat disheveled hair, took a piece of brocade, and gently wiped the strings.

Maintenance of the strings of the lyre is the easiest. It only needs to be protected from moisture and sun. Just wipe it with clean brocade every half month. However, the body of the lyre is a little more troublesome. Hong Yu dipped a dry cloth into some pine oil and applied it on it.

on the piano body to prevent the piano body from cracking.

Hong Yu applied it carefully. As a good sister who slept with Nong Yu, she naturally had to meticulously maintain her most cherished lyre for her frightened sister.

However, she was so serious and devoted that she didn't notice a malicious gaze staring at her. After wiping Nongyu's lyre, Hongyu straightened her arms and stretched, and her beautiful curves followed her.

Stretch with movement.

Suddenly, the lights in the room flickered, and a strange wind suddenly pushed open the window, blowing out the flickering candlelight.

Hong Yu looked at the window in horror. She stuck her head out and looked around, but she didn't find anything strange. She just thought it was a gust of wind. But the moment she closed the window and turned around to rest, she saw half of an ugly picture.

s face.

Panic suddenly appeared on Hong Yu's pretty face, but she had no chance to scream.

A flash of sword light flashed, and Hong Yu had fallen to the ground. A line of blood spread from her throat, flat and smooth, cutting off her vocal cords and scratching the lyre in her arms.

Hong Yu tried her best to open her eyes, which were beginning to close a little, trying to see clearly who wanted to kill her, a little maid, but she only saw half of the eagle-beak mask and completely lost focus.

The next day, the news of the murder in Zilanxuan spread like wildfire and spread throughout the streets and alleys of Xinzheng. It aroused the indignation of many people for a while, and many dignitaries even asked Han Fei, who was the commander of the secret service, to come.

Investigate the case.

With sleepy eyes, Han Fei looked at the bamboo slips piled on his desk, feeling a little confused.

He was assassinated when he went home last night. If it hadn't been for the rescue of a mysterious man and the help of Wei Zhuang, he might have died. As soon as Wei Zhuang was about to send him home, he received a call from Zilanxuan's boy

The news came that a murder had occurred in Zilanxuan.

Exhausted and still in shock, he followed Wei Zhuang back to Zilanxuan and investigated the scene. It wasn't until dawn that he took a nap in Zilanxuan's guest room for two hours.

As a result, as soon as he returned to Sikou Mansion, he saw this bamboo slip requesting him to investigate the case thoroughly as soon as possible.

If he hadn't been sure that Hong Yu was just an ordinary maid, he would have doubted whether Hong Yu was the illegitimate daughter of some powerful person, and she actually attracted the attention of so many powerful people.

However, as a veteran who has spent many years in debauchery, he naturally understands the true thoughts of these powerful people.

Hongyu, in their eyes, was just a maid, nothing. Even if Nongyu died, they would just sigh with emotion at the murderer's ruthless hand and lament that there would never be such a piano master in Korea again, and they would forget Zi in just three days.

Lanxuan once had a girl named Nongyu.

After all, they are just thinking about their own safety.

Although there is no powerful background behind Zilanxuan, the mysterious proprietress Zinu has run it into the number one song and dance studio in Korea. Countless powerful people who have thought about getting involved in Zilanxuan will eventually withdraw their greedy money in despair.

Hands, and this is one of the major reasons why other dignitaries choose Zilanxuan.

The Purple Orchid Pavilion has strong power, but it is self-operated by the private sector. It maintains almost absolute neutrality towards all forces in the court, so they can freely listen to songs, enjoy dancing, and linger on the cups in the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

You don't have to worry about safety issues or the impeachment of the imperial censor when you are on your knees with a beautiful woman.

No matter how the various forces fight outside, they will maintain peace in Zilanxuan and will never bring conflicts to the only "promised land" in Xinzheng City.

Of course, they don't know that this place that they regard as absolutely neutral has become a stronghold against Ji Wuye. They only know that there are people who do not obey the rules, destroy the peace here, openly kill people in Zilanxuan, and threaten their lives.

Safety.

This is why they are so excited!

As soon as Han Fei finished reading the bamboo slip, a judge from Sikou Mansion came to report it.

"Lord Sikou, Zuo Sima Liu Yi was assassinated on his way back home last night!"

Han Fei's original sleepiness immediately dissipated, and he suddenly realized that maybe the assassination case in Zilanxuan last night was not so simple, but that there was an invisible hand that was playing with the strange situation.

Xinzheng, Zuosima Mansion

A famous guard in red clothes and black armor holding a long sword and a shield surrounded the luxurious Zuo Sima Mansion. Standing on the wall of the courtyard was a famous Korean soldier holding a crossbow. Even one flew towards Zuo Sima.

The little birds in the mansion will be mercilessly penetrated by sharp arrows and unable to enter Zuo Sima's mansion.

In the hall, Liu Yi was naked from the waist up. A hideous wound stretched diagonally from his right chest to his left abdomen. The wound was extremely deep, which showed the ruthlessness of the person who made the wound.

Liu Yi picked up the wine bottle on the table and drank a sip of strong wine.

"Damn it! I'm so angry!"

Liu Yi, who drank strong alcohol, became more and more angry as he thought about it. He smashed the wine bottle on the table. Two of the legs of the three-legged bronze wine bottle were broken off, and the nanmu table in front of him was also smashed.

"General, don't get angry, otherwise the wound will burst!"

A military doctor wiped away the blood seeping from Liu Yi's wound with cotton cloth and persuaded him.

Liu Yi looked at the military doctor with fierce eyes, grabbed the military doctor's collar, and lifted him up.

"General! General!" The military doctor struggled, his feet shaking wildly, with a look of horror on his face.

Boom!

The hand that was holding the military doctor's collar loosened, and the military doctor fell to the ground. But he did not dare to complain at all. Instead, he thanked Liu Yi repeatedly for his kindness, helped him apply powder, and put on a new bandage.

Liu Yi looked at the medic's trembling movements with an expressionless face. He did not want to kill the medic, but he was really blinded by anger.

He never thought that someone would dare to assassinate him, the Korean Zuo Sima, Ji Wuye's confidant, in Xinzheng City!

Last night, Liu Yi, who was extremely drunk and had his sleeping hole stabbed by Zi Nu, left Zi Lan Xuan with the help of his guards. He was unconscious and just about to get on the carriage when a sharp long sword cut him open.

The throats of the two guards beside him were slashed at him with their sharp swords.

Although Liu Yi's military exploits were limited, he was still a confidant whom Ji Wuye valued. He was not only good at conspiracy and tricks, but also had some real abilities.

The approaching crisis dispelled his drunkenness in an instant, and the sense of crisis he had cultivated over the years in the war made him lean back subconsciously.

This subconscious action saved his life.

The sharp sword that should have cut him diagonally into two pieces only cut through his flesh, leaving a deep wound.

Then, the seriously injured Liu Yi was carried into a carriage by his guards and sent back to Zuo Sima Mansion. Liu Yi's confidants also immediately summoned the army under Liu Yi's command outside the city, and mobilized heavy troops with Ji Wuye's approval.

Go into the city to protect Liu Yi's safety.

Speaking of which, he still has one person to thank for his survival.

If Zhang Ji hadn't recently reminded him that there seemed to be some unrest in Xinzheng City and asked him to go out with his personal guards, he might not have been able to survive the assassin's hands.

At that time, the assassin whose face was covered was unable to hit a single blow, and he originally planned to make up for it with a sword. However, because the personal guards he brought with him were holding sharp swords and desperately intercepting them, they were delayed until the arrival of the city defense troops holding long swords.

, facing so many city defense troops, the assassin glanced at Liu Yi bitterly and chose to retreat.

Liu Yi was grateful to Zhang Ji in his heart, when suddenly Han soldiers from outside the house came in to report that Zhang Ji had come to visit him with a cart of precious medicinal materials.

Hearing this, Liu Yi couldn't help but be a little moved.

The news of his assassination should have just spread out, but Zhang Ji immediately came to visit. This is really...

"Zhang Ji, you are really my good brother!"
