At sunset and moonrise, the bustling streets are dark, and the carriage moves unhurriedly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info there is an endless stream of pedestrian carriages on the side of the road. From time to time, several patrolling soldiers passed by, and when they saw this brocade covered carriage, they all consciously stopped, and cleared the somewhat congested road.

In any case, he was also the commander of the 40,000 defenders of Jiuyao City, and many soldiers knew that the commander's daughter was sitting in the carriage. In such a bustling street, there are constantly soldiers patrolling, where are they going to do it? Shi Jingtian is becoming more and more worried, a girl like a flower cannot die, and the conspiracy of division cannot allow the Black Lotus Society to succeed, and he has to win their trust.

The first time he came to the bustling streets of Jiuyao City, Shi Jingtian didn't know where the commander's family lived, but just followed the soldiers leading the way in front. It's just that it doesn't feel too far, probably near this main road, so how will they get the commander's daughter off the bus?

Already past the center of the street, you can vaguely see the gate of the city when you look further. As we walked, the sky gradually became darker, and the shops and restaurants on one side were already hung with lanterns, while on the other side was a lake.

Presumably an underground spring was found to have been dug out of a large lake, the water of which was rippling and then divided into several curving channels around dozens of wooden buildings nearby. There is no moat even at the city gate, and the wooden buildings surrounded by these lakes must be inhabited by those who are not official or rich, so is the commander's family living there!

There is a gazebo in the center of the lake, on which four wooden bridges are not wide, and some pedestrians stand on the wooden bridges to enjoy the breeze blowing from the lake, and occasionally a few vendors peddle small things on the wooden bridges.

"Ice Lotus! Ice Lotus! Ice Lotus from Beverly Iceberg!"

The sudden shouting sound on the wooden bridge immediately attracted Shi Jingtian's attention.

"Stop!" the daughter of the commander of the carriage stretched out her hand to lift the curtain of the carriage, poked her head out and looked out, her big eyes flickering.

Shi Jingtian stopped the carriage, and the black-clothed soldier who was walking in front of him dismounted and came to the carriage, his head still not raised, "Miss, what's wrong?"

"I want to go see the Ice Lotus!"

"It's... I'll be home soon!" The soldier in black was overjoyed, but he was still hesitant.

"It's okay, I'll come back after a look!" said the commander's daughter, who had already gotten out of the carriage with most of her body.

Maybe this is the place, the daughter of this commander not only likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also likes flowers and plants, like the snow lotus of Beverly Iceberg thousands of miles away, which must be extremely rare. Without much thought, Shi Jingtian turned over and got out of the carriage, set up a wooden ladder and let the young lady walk down slowly.

"You look at the carriage, the wooden bridge is narrow, and there is no one, just protect the young lady with the two of us!" said the black-clothed soldier, and Shi Jingtian followed the young lady to the wooden bridge.

There weren't a few people on the wooden bridge, but it was narrow. The black-clothed soldier gave Shi Jingtian a look and walked a few steps slowly, and when he got on the narrow bridge, he could only go alongside Shi Jingtian and the commander's daughter, but he followed behind.

The flower seller stood in the middle of the narrow road, holding a white crystal flower in his hand, and stopped selling, as if waiting for someone else to arrive. The flowers still stood out in the dim sky, like a guiding light.

The young lady was more curious, and she couldn't help but take a few steps faster. Shi Jingtian was even more anxious, he didn't have to think about selling flowers, the soldiers guarding the carriage, and even the few people who enjoyed the cool breeze on the wooden bridge were all members of the Black Lotus Society, all of whom were staring at him. If you hadn't killed the leader's daughter, then even if you could save her, she would definitely be exposed.

Turning his head slightly, he found that the bribed soldier had not followed, and the person had long since disappeared in the crowd, perhaps his task was to bring the young lady here, so that he could take the money and fly away. I can't wait, there are only a dozen opportunities for this.

"Miss, do you know how to swim?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" replied the commander's daughter easily, looking at the soldier beside her in bewilderment, wondering why he suddenly asked this question.

"Miss, don't stop and keep your pace constant. Don't look around, either, stay calm. Now you just need to listen to me!" Shi Jingtian said in a low tone.

"Hmm!" the commander's daughter was also considered to be Bing Xue smart, and felt a hint of crisis from the soldier's words. His eyes flickered a few times, and then he resumed his normal journey and continued walking.

"Someone wants to kill Miss and blame Dong Fei, so that the city defense commander and Dong Fei can split so that there is a chance, and now there are many killers around you, of course, including me and the soldiers who came with me. In a moment, I will pretend to stab you in the chest with a bladeless dagger, and you will scream and fall off the wooden bridge. Then get out of the river around the lake, and come home and tell your father that you're going to make it look like you're dead! blink your eyes a few more times if you're ready! I'm going to do it!"

Time is urgent, you can't do it when you walk to the flower seller, even if it's dark, but it's too close to be easy to see through, Shi Jingtian lowered his voice and said it all in one breath. After seeing that the young lady's face was indeed a little pale, she knew that there was no choice, so she bit her lip slightly and blinked her eyes a few times.

At this moment, Shi Jingtian suddenly pulled Miss's arm, and Miss involuntarily turned around and suddenly lost her face, staring at the plain eyes of this silver flame mask with big frightened eyes, there was no mercy and no killing intention, just a little deep.

"Ahh

The young lady screamed, and the dagger in Shi Jingtian's hand was extremely fast, only to see a flash of cold light, and it was almost invisible that the shot had been deeply stabbed into her chest, leaving only a knife hilt. The blood instantly stained the white dress, which was so striking in the darkness.

The body took a few steps back uncontrollably, the guardrail that was not high was not blocked, the blood-stained white dress fluttered in the air, the young lady turned over and fell into the lake with the handle of the knife and a body of blood, and soon sank to the bottom of the lake, and only a circle of ripples remained on the calm surface of the lake.

With a scream and the popping sound of falling into the lake, the people on the street and on the narrow bridge next to it seemed to realize something, and all looked this way.

"Someone fell overboard!"

"Find a rope to save someone!"

Someone shouted and ran towards this side, and at this time, the stone shock, the flower seller, and the few people on the narrow bridge who stopped to enjoy the breeze on the lake, as well as the carriage and the soldiers escorting the young lady, had disappeared without a trace in the chaos.

Shi Jingtian, who was mixed in the traffic, often breathed a sigh of relief, and finally passed the poisonous test of the Black Lotus Society, and also saved the life of the commander's daughter. After receiving Aunt Pu's task, Shi Jingtian was also at a loss, and even thought about sacrificing his daughter to save more people. But when he was walking on the road with Zongnan, he suddenly thought of a way.

It was those live chickens, and when they were cleaned up in the afternoon, when Zong Nan didn't pay attention, they poured chicken blood into the chicken intestines and secretly hid them. Therefore, when the dagger stabbed at the body of the commander's daughter, the end of the chicken intestines hidden in the cuff was pinched and exploded, which looked like blood was gushing.

And the dagger stone shattered the dagger body a long time ago, leaving only a hilt. At that time, the sky was dark, and with the speed of his own shot, no one could see it clearly. Moreover, Shi Jingtian easily stuck a small part of the hilt of the knife on the belt of the commander's children, which looked more like the illusion of a dagger piercing. Coupled with the leader's daughter's extra calmness and a miserable scream, I believe that she can definitely deceive anyone.

As long as you join the Black Lotus Society, you will be able to grasp all its forces and movements, and completely eradicate it! Not only for Qin'er, who died in the Sword Pavilion battle, but also for more people who live in peace and happiness. Shi Jingtian secretly made up his mind and strode forward.

Sure enough, the Commander's Mansion was in the wooden buildings at the back of the lake, and there was a winding river that happened to pass through it. Rao is commander's daughter was witty and calm, and after falling into the water, she took a deep breath and swam from the bottom of the lake along the river to the vicinity of her home, and when she climbed to the shore, she saw the wall of the back garden of her home.

Jiang Zifeng, the commander of the 40,000 defenders of Jiuyao City, who knew all this, immediately took the opportunity to quietly send his daughter to a relative's house in Star City overnight. Then he didn't get angry, just sat there quietly, drinking tea and frowning and thinking about something.

Jiang Zifeng is about forty years old, but he still has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his slender face is a little tall and thin, but he has learned a skill in the Sword Pavilion. With his own ability, he trained the army immediately, and after exterminating several waves of bandits, he became the commander of ten thousand soldiers. However, he was withdrawn, never participated in the gangs of officials, only did what he had to do, and basically did not even attend banquets, and his neutrality was the fundamental reason why the imperial city appointed him as the commander after investigation.

In his eyes, Dong Fei has a straightforward and righteous personality, is not afraid of power, and is not inferior to himself in terms of ability, although he has never dealt with him much, he also has a recognition in his heart, so he has been relying on him since he took office. But now that the black hand has reached out to his family, how can he swallow his anger when the bottom line is touched.

"Come on, go and invite Captain Dong Fei here!" Jiang Zifeng pondered for a while and felt that this matter should be related to the fact that the Imperial City sent people here to examine the robbers a few days ago. Although it is not clear what is going on, Dong Fei, who has been involved in it at this time, may know something.

After a while, Dong Fei strode in, and asked directly in a straightforward manner, "What is the commander looking for me, I haven't eaten dinner yet!"

"Come!" Jiang Zifeng didn't care about any politeness, and directly pulled Dong Fei into the inner room.

Dong Fei didn't know what the situation was, but he also had a good impression of Jiang Zifeng, and the first thing he did since taking office was to clean up the bandits outside the city and strengthen the security in the city. It's just that I called myself in such a hurry, and pulled into the inner room to talk secretly, and probably guessed that something was going on.

The two sat face to face around a small table, and they didn't even bother to pour a cup of tea, Jiang Zifeng told Dong Fei all about his daughter's assassination tonight.
