Hearing Cheng Jin's words, Gu Chong started to sweat profusely, nodded continuously, and said: "This general will definitely do his best to find the assassin!"
As a dignified first lieutenant, his ranking was between the second stage and the second stage, not lower than Cheng Jin, but he could not afford to offend Dark Arrow, and Cheng Jin's position in the imperial court had always been higher than his position.
Even after the military doctors gave him emergency treatment, Shangguan Yuanwu was still in danger. Tang Yin ordered all the Medical Officer s to escort him back to the Duke Palaces.
The soldiers had wanted to bring away the three assassins that were captured, but they were stopped by Cheng Jin, who had the soldiers escort the three of them to the Hidden House, and hand them over to the hidden arrows. When he spoke, even Gu Chong had to be wary of him, let alone the soldiers below him.
At this time, Gu Chen frowned. He brazenly stepped forward and said to Cheng Jin in a serious tone: "General Cheng, the King wants us to track down the assassins, but the clues regarding the assassins are all with these three. If you don't hand them over to Lieutenant's Mansion, how are we supposed to track down the assassins?"
Cheng Jin was startled. He really did not think of this point, or rather, he did not expect anyone from the Lieutenant's Mansion to find out anything. He smiled lightly and said, "Assassins are very likely to be related to Countercurrent Flow. If you hand them over to your Lieutenant's Mansion, they might not be saved by their comrades, but rather be assassinated by them. Furthermore, being locked up in the Dark Arrow is the safest option. If you want to interrogate them, you can go to Dark Arrow. We will not stop you. "
Hearing that, Gu Chen's nose almost became crooked from anger, how could he be able to get someone's territory to interrogate him when he was handling a case with Lieutenant's Mansion, how could there be such a logic? He took a step forward, and said in a trembling voice: "The Lieutenant's Mansion was established by the King, the position of first lieutenant was bestowed by the King, General Cheng is saying this, not only do you suspect the ability of the Lieutenant's Mansion, but you are also questioning the use of people by the King?!"
This big hat caused Cheng Jin to be speechless. Actually, Cheng Jin was not someone who was good with words, it was just that normally no one would argue with him, but now that someone who was not afraid of death suddenly stood out, daring to choke on him in front of everyone, he really made Cheng Jin speechless.
In the end, Cheng Jin could only look towards Tang Yin and ask him for his meaning.
All along, what Tang Yin valued the most was hidden arrows, but whenever there were important cases, he would hand them over to the hidden arrows, while the other authorities would use them as decorations. Now that he thought about it, he felt that doing this was not appropriate. He sized up Gu Chen and asked: "What's your name?"
Gu Chong was so scared that his soul almost flew out of his body. His nephew showed no mercy and started an argument with Cheng Jin in front of the crowd. Without waiting for Gu Chen to reply, Gu Chong anxiously took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said: "Great King, this subordinate of mine is extremely young, and does not understand the rules, I hope Great King will not take offense!"
Tang Yin waved his hand impatiently and said, "I didn't ask you." As he spoke, his gaze landed on Gu Chen's face.
Gu Chen pulled himself together and interfered: "I am Gu Chen!"
"Oh?" His surname was also Gu, and people with the surname Gu were quite rare! Tang Yin looked at Gu Chen, then looked at Gu Chong and asked: "What is your relationship with General Gu?"
"General Gu is this lowly general's uncle!" Gu Chen said straightforwardly.
Gu Chong sighed from the side, and thought that he was done for, what the King hated the most was nepotism, and now, Gu Chen had made this relationship even more obvious.
Just as Gu Chong had expected, when Tang Yin heard that Gu Chen was Gu Chong's nephew, he couldn't help but look down on him. He smiled coldly, and said: "Cheng Jin, hand over the assassins that have been captured to them."
"Your Majesty?" Cheng Jin waved his hand at when he wanted to speak, signalling for him to not speak anymore. Then, he said to Gu Chen: "Five days! This king will only give you five days. If you are unable to catch the other assassins within those five days, this king will take your uncle and nephew's heads with you! "
"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Gu Chen said fearlessly, "As long as the assassin is still in the city, we can capture him. Three days is enough!"
Tang Yin nearly laughed out of anger, he nodded, and said three good words in a row while extending three fingers: "Since you are so confident, then this king will give you three days of Lieutenant's Mansion."
"This lowly general obeys your command!" Gu Chen intervened and bowed deeply.
With Gu Chong and Gu Chen gone, the expressions of the uncle and nephew were as different as the sky and the earth. Gu Chen was full of confidence, his face lit up, ready to make a big show of himself. On the other hand, Gu Chong was in the dark, with a bitter face, his entire body was like a frozen eggplant, listless.
After the two left, Cheng Jin asked worriedly: "Great King, in three days, will Lieutenant's Mansion be able to find the assassin?"
Tang Yin did not hold much hope in this matter either. He shrugged and said, "This is what Gu Chen boasted about himself. If we do not complete the mission by then, then we can't blame anyone else."
Cheng Jin shook his head helplessly. Although Gu Chen was not polite with him at all, Cheng Jin still liked this young man who was not afraid of tigers and calves.
It was only until now did Tang Yin realise that Yan Xi was staring at him as if she was looking at a monster. He turned around and asked, "Sect Lord Yan, is it my identity now?"
Yan Xi suddenly regained her senses, luckily, she had seen a woman who was very experienced, and didn't seem to lose her composure in front of Tang Yin. She met Tang Yin's gaze and pretended to be calm as she said, "You are the King."
Seeing that Yan Xi was not overly formal because she knew her identity, Tang Yin secretly praised him in her heart. He faintly said, "There are a lot of people who want to take my life, so when I travel, I have to disguise myself. But even so, those people with ill intentions can still recognize me." Pausing for a moment, he continued, "I'm sorry, I nearly implicated you just now."
Yan Xi said disapprovingly: "You ? Your Majesty, there is no need to apologize. I am already used to it. "
Now that they knew Tang Yin's identity, everything made sense.
It was no wonder why they were so rich, why the entire country was his, how could they not have money, and why when they were competing in martial arts, Zhang Dong had always been so courteous and respectful to him, treating him as an honored guest. It was also no wonder that Hou Ge, contrary to his usual self, took the initiative to snatch the position of Alliance Master from him. Now that he thought about it, the selection of the Alliance Master was largely controlled by Tang Yin behind the scenes. Even the matter of Hou Ge seizing the Alliance Master was something that Tang Yin had planned beforehand.2
When she thought of this, Yan Xi suddenly had a desolate feeling of being used by others yet having no power to change it.
Seeing her unknowingly reveal a look of loneliness, Tang Yin curiously asked: "Sect Lord Yan seems to be very disappointed with my identity."
Yan Xi arranged her emotions and took a deep breath. Then, she smiled at Tang Yin and said: Without expectations, how can I be disappointed? The King is overthinking. "
Tang Yin liked Yan Xi's neither humble nor arrogant attitude. He asked as if nothing had happened, "Now, Sect Lord Yan still wants to rest in my residence a little longer?"
Under normal circumstances, Yan Xi would definitely hide far away from Tang Yin, and it would be best if they didn't get involved at all. But right now, she still wanted to find out the reason why Tang Yin was controlling the Ranger Alliance. Since the King has spoken, my daughter will not dare to disrespect the King. "
The way she said it, it was as if she was inviting her on her own accord. Tang Yin shook his head, looked at the people around him and said: "Return to the residence!" At this time, there were even more soldiers congregating on the streets. Not only were there soldiers from Lieutenant's Mansion, there were also people from the garrison, and even a lot of the guards from the Duke Palaces had arrived.
Looking around, the long main street was densely packed with soldiers. There were three levels inside, three levels outside, and a sea of people. Yan Xi and her subordinates had never seen such a huge battle formation in their entire lives. Even if they were able to keep their cool, the expressions on their faces were more or less a little unnatural.
This time, nothing unexpected happened. Under the escort of many soldiers, Tang Yin smoothly returned to the Duke Palace. He got everyone to bring Yan Xi and the others to the study room first, then he went to change his clothes to visit the heavily injured Shangguan Yuanwu.
At this time, a lot of people had gathered in Shangguan Yuanwu's room, including Shangguan Yuanji who had rushed over upon hearing the news, Shangguan Yuanbiao as well as his own family members, and a few doctors. Although there were a lot of people in the room, they were all silent, the silence was too scary. Everyone's heart was in their mouths, as they stared blankly at Shangguan Yuanwu who laid on the bed, his face as white as paper.
Amongst the doctors, Tang Yin discovered Su Yelei's figure, and pulled her out of the room, asking softly: How are Yuanwu's injuries? Also... Is there any hope? " Tang Yin himself knew some medical skills, and only by looking at the position of Shangguan Yuanwu's injuries, he was able to deduce that his life was in danger.
Su Yelei said with a serious face: "I'm not sure either. With such heavy injuries, if 30% looks at the person, then 70% looks at the sky! "
Tang Yin's brows were knitted into a knot. What he hated the most and feared the most was things that could not be controlled by human means. He murmured, "No matter what, I have to think of something!" He was already used to Yuanwu and Yuanbiao being by his side. If he lost one of them, he would even feel like he lost an arm.
Su Yelei said helplessly: "After all, he is not the Spirit Cultivator of Dark. With such an injury, we can only try our best and leave it to fate."
Tang Yin suddenly thought of something, and said: "Oh yeah, I heard that the Fragrant Amomum Cardamon has the ability to revive the dead, coincidentally, I have two in my hand. If you need them, I can give them to Yuanwu." He didn't believe in bringing the dead back to life, but now Tang Yin had also desperately tried to cure him, and he finally remembered the Fragrant Amomum Cardamon.
Su Yelei understood Tang Yin's personality very well, and felt that he was so anxious that he was about to lose his will. She helplessly asked, "Do you think that would be useful?"
Tang Yin sighed lightly and said: "I can at least give it a try!"
"If I were you, I'd leave now and find out tonight." Su Yelei kindly reminded him.
Tang Yin looked at her deeply, and said softly: "Yuanwu ? I'll leave it to you. "
"I'll do my best."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, took another glance at the room, then turned and walked out.
Seeing Tang Yin walk further and further away, Su Yelei felt that sshe could be considered lucky. As a Medical Officer, he could see a lot of aspects of Tang Yin.
