The day after Mu Qing took the initiative to ask Ying to investigate the attack on Liu Chu and others, he took people on the road immediately, Xuanyuan Jingcheng took a hundred Qilin guards to assist him, and at the same time, he also arranged for ten court captains to go in, and these ten court captains were led by a left supervisor.

One hundred Qilin guards plus ten court captains, led by Xuanyuan Jingcheng and one court lieutenant Zuo Jian respectively, it is expected that Mu Qing will not be able to make any waves.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the boss of the criminal prison, and Lu Zhengxuan of the court captain, stood at the head of the city, watching the group go away.

After a while, walking down the city, a court lieutenant led a fast horse that had been prepared for a long time and stepped forward and handed the reins to Lu Zhengxuan.

"Ji Youyu, Han Zhongshu, I'm not in Chang'an, the Criminal Department and the Prison will be handed over to you. Lu Zhengxuan took the reins and said to the two people standing with their hands hanging on the side.

One is Ji Youyu, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and the other is Han Zhongshu, the captain of the Criminal Prison Court, these two people can be regarded as the second-in-command of the entire Criminal Department.

"I won't disappoint you. The two replied confidently.

"Well, Pang Long, get on the horse, let's go. Lu Zhengxuan nodded and said to Pang Long on the other side.

Pang Long, the right court lieutenant of the prison, is equivalent to the level of Lang Zhong, this time Lu Zhengxuan went to Dongjiang and only took him alone, and the other left court lieutenant Yu Ke followed Mu Qing and Xuanyuan Jingcheng to investigate the attack on Liu Chu and others.

Lu Zhengxuan was going to go to Dongjiang a long time ago, because His Majesty ordered him to go to Dongjiang to find Liu Tianzhao and transfer him to Xuzhou to investigate this matter.

It's just that later, the emperor planned to press He Wenshan, the secretary of the ministry, to death, and asked Lu Zhengxuan to postpone the trip and stay to help, so he only set off today.

From Chang'an to Xuzhou, it takes nine days to take the military post and the horse, if it is to the eastern Xinjiang and state line, it will take 16 days, and it will take almost 23 days to go back to the eastern Xinjiang and state line.

Twenty-three days have passed, and perhaps the case of Liu Chu's attack has come to light, but the order issued by His Majesty, Lu Zhengxuan still needs to carry it out unconditionally.

Somewhere on the border between Xuzhou and Jingzhou, a sparsely populated area.

An eagle hovered high in the air, and it seemed to have discovered something while hunting, and there seemed to be a prey lying under the cliff, and the prey it had seen was a creature called man.

The eagle swooped down, and when the distance was closer, it was found that the eagle was much larger than the average eagle, with a preliminary estimate of one meter in length and a winged length of more than three meters.

A giant eagle of this size can indeed pounce on humans.

The eagle found the man lying motionless on the ground, but it felt that the man was alive, and as long as it was alive, it could eat it, and it was proud that it would not choose to eat dead flesh and rotten flesh.

But just as it was still a hundred meters away from the human, its pupils contracted violently, and it hurriedly spread its folded wings completely, flapping violently to slow down, and changing direction away from the lying human.

When it flew away from the human, it looked back, as if it had a lingering heartbeat.

At the man's finger was a small snake with a small bulge on the top of its head, and the eagle was frightened away when it discovered the existence of the snake.

On the cliff, Jinhuanong and Yinhuanong stopped their horses, dismounted and ran to the edge of the cliff, looking down at the ground at all, blocked by a thick layer of clouds, and could only vaguely see some towering canopies.

But this is enough for them to judge how high the cliff is, Qianzhang has no way to run, it may be about 1,300 zhang, close to 4,000 meters, and the possibility of surviving if you fall down is very small.

At this height, Jin Huanong has no hope of surviving if he falls, maybe only the strong man who turns into a god can barely save his life.

What's more, Liu Chu is just a martial artist, and he only has six grades, and if he doesn't die, he will definitely fall and be seriously injured, in this uninhabited place, it is impossible for anyone to treat him, he can only be seriously injured and wait for death.

"You two go around down there and take a look. In order to make sure that it didn't happen, Jin Huanong pointed to two people and sent them to confirm whether Xia Liu Chu was dead.

After the order, Jinhuanong and Yinhuanong led the people out of the cliff, and they hurried back to see the situation on Tonghuanong's side.

After Jinhuanong and Yinhuanong left, Sun Zhenghao, who had been hiding behind the bushes, came out and walked to the edge of the cliff to take a closer look.

"It's so high, it's supposed to be dead. Sun Zhenghao squinted, and he also thought the same as Jin Huanong.

"That's fine, I'll do it myself. Sun Zhenghao smiled, when he and Liu Chu were only two people just now, he had been looking for a chance to start, but he found that Liu Chu always guarded against him intentionally or unintentionally, so that he didn't have a chance.

Well, now the man himself fell off the cliff, and it saved him a lot of effort.

Sun Zhenghao's hair suddenly stood on end, he realized that someone was standing behind him, turned around sharply, and found that it was Jinhua Nong.

"Who are you? I have long sensed that someone is following behind! Say it, let you live!" Jin Huanong said coldly, the fierceness in his eyes indicating that he would really kill.

"We should be considered the same kind of people, and I also want this Liu Chu to die. Sun Zhenghao took a deep breath, he was just an eight-rank martial artist, and he was definitely not the opponent of Jinhuanong, whose strength had reached the Qi Gathering Realm.

And he couldn't escape if he wanted to, and on the other side, there was also a Yinhua farmer who was also the strength of the Qi Gathering Realm, staring at him fiercely!

Jin Huanong and Yin Huanong glanced at each other, and both of them saw doubts in each other's eyes, could it be that the person who hired them behind the scenes also found someone else to deal with Liu Chu and his group?

"Who sent you? You must be in the army. Jin Huanong turned his head to look at Sun Zhenghao, and he could see from Sun Zhenghao's dress that he was a soldier.

Sun Zhenghao frowned, he was too careless, he knew that he would change his military uniform first in secret.

"Then who sent you?" Sun Zhenghao could see that Jinhuanong and Yinhuanong were not born in the army, but the group of masked black-clothed people behind them were definitely people in the army, not to mention the crossbows and standard horizontal knives they worn, they could also be seen to be unique to the Great Wei soldiers alone.

Sun Zhenghao also thought of the same question, could it be that person also sent someone else to carry out this task?

"Do you think you are qualified to talk to us? You can say whatever I tell you to say! Say! Who sent you?" Jin Huanong took a step forward, and the cultivator's unique "momentum" pressed forward, making Sun Zhenghao feel difficult to breathe and depressed.

Sun Zhenghao gritted his teeth, it was absolutely impossible for him to tell that person, not to say that that person had a life-saving grace for their family, just to say that his family was in the hands of that person, and it was impossible for him to betray that person.

"Don't say it?" Jin Huanong raised his eyebrows and took a step forward again, this step, seven or eight meters away, he punched Sun Zhenghao's chest.

Sun Zhenghao was beaten and slipped backwards for several meters, some gravel rolled off the cliff, Sun Zhenghao turned around and looked, and he fell off the cliff one step back!

"You are given two choices, one, say who sent you, and two, you jump yourself. Jin Huanong stared at Sun Zhenghao coldly.

Sun Zhenghao's mind is in a hurry, and in the face of the test of life and death, his psychological defense line is being broken through. He felt that it didn't matter if he said it, if he said the name of that person, and Jin Huanong found out that their hired person and that person were the same person, then Sun Zhenghao would be able to escape.

If that person wasn't Jinhuanong's employer, Sun Zhenghao should have been able to escape, and if he said the name of that person, they wouldn't necessarily know each other, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to go around talking nonsense, right?

"Yes...... I was sent. Sun Zhenghao said the man's name.

Jin Huanong and Yin Huanong glanced at each other again, could it be that the person who hired them behind the scenes was the person in Sun Zhenghao's mouth?

How did Sun Zhenghao know that Jinhuanong and Yinhuanong didn't know who they were hired by at all, anyway, they only took the task and got the money.

Moreover, Sun Zhenghao underestimated the character of Jinhuanong and Yinhuanong, the three brothers of Huanong, who are famous villains, can this kind of person believe in his character?

"It turns out that it's really a friend, this is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, we are together, hired by the same person. Jin Huanong changed his previous cold attitude, and instead walked towards Sun Zhenghao enthusiastically, his arm hooked on his shoulder, like two good brothers.

Sun Zhenghao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and he was on the verge of life and death, but he was a little puzzled, wasn't that person's target only Liu Chu, why did he even kill other people in the official post without saying a word to him.

Is it for double insurance? If Jinhuanong fails, can they continue to complete the task?

Sun Zhenghao thought about it, it should be like this, and sighed in his heart that that person's mind is really meticulous and very thorough.

"Did you get the task of killing Liu Chu? Why did you even kill other people? Is that what that person meant?" Sun Zhenghao couldn't help but ask.

Jin Huanong's heart moved, and he captured a trace of information from Sun Zhenghao's question, and the people behind them may not be the same. Because their mission is to kill everyone, and through the analysis of Sun Zhenghao's problem, his mission seems to be only for Liu Chu alone.

"Well, I don't think you need to know, it seems that your mission is only to kill Liu Chu alone, and since Liu Chu is dead, your mission has also been completed. So, you can go and die too!"

Jin Huanong suddenly turned sideways and slapped Sun Zhenghao's chest, and the huge palm force slapped Sun Zhenghao out, and there was a cliff under him!

Sun Zhenghao looked at Jin Huanong with a mocking face, he suddenly woke up, he was so stupid, how could he trust people like Jin Huanong?

"I'll be your uncle!" Sun Zhenghao fell into the cliff, and his angry scolding echoed in the cliff.

"Let's go, the two people sent out should come back and see if they find Liu Chu's body. Jin Huanong smiled disappreciatively, if it is useful to scold, why do you want a fist?
