The morning light was getting brighter and the morning wind did not rise. The green seedlings that had just passed their knees stopped shaking. Xue He let go of his right hand and no longer bleeding from the broken arm. He picked up seven knives from the ground and slowly inserted them back into the sheath behind him. During the whole process, a painful expression flashed from time to time on his pale face. It was obvious that these simple movements were extremely difficult for him now.

Su Li and Chen Changsheng had already left on the hairy deer, but he did not leave, but sat down like this, bandaging the wound while thinking about something. After the Qingteng Banquet and the Grand Court Examination, Chen Changsheng had already become famous and spread far away from Kyoto. His brother Xue Xingchuan specifically mentioned the young man in his letter to him. Xue He knew that this young man was the youngest dean of the National Education College in history, and it can even be said to represent the voices made by the national education and the old royal forces to the Holy Queen. However, this young man should be trialing in Zhouyuan, so why did he suddenly appear in the north of Tianliang County and join Su Li?

Of course, he did not leave immediately at this moment. The main reason was not thinking, but waiting for the assassin to appear in the blue field. He didn't know who the assassin was. Although he got Su Li's whereabouts from the other party, he only knew that since the assassin was not far away, it meant that he was very dangerous. When he left, Su Li told Chen Changsheng that the assassin was very likely to kill him while Xue He was seriously injured and then put this matter on Chen Changsheng's head. Xue He himself thought so.

A breeze suddenly blew up from the quiet field without any warning, and the green sorghum poles were slightly lowered in the wind, revealing a figure that looked like a stone.

Suddenly, the figure disappeared again, and it should have been closer.

Xue He reached behind his right hand and held the hilt of the knife.

As a great Zhou general, even if he is unable to fight again, he will die in the battle. If he is really destined to die at the hands of these ghosts, he might as well die under his own sword.

The breeze continued to blow, but the assassin never showed up.

I don’t know how long it took, when the sun was getting stronger and the blood loss of Xue He was getting worse, but he suddenly realized that the assassin had left.

Why did the assassin leave? Xue He didn't understand, so he stood up with a knife with a hard time, and then saw someone writing a very clear line of words with a sword tip on the ground not far ahead.

The assassin probably saw the line of words, so he didn't take action in the end.

"Liu Qing, Zhou Tong will know what you have done."

Xue He's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that the assassin was the legendary Liu Qing, and he didn't expect that Su Li and Chen Changsheng would leave such a sentence before leaving.

It was this sentence that saved his life.

On the shore of a lake five hundred miles north of Tianliang County, two hairy deer were lowering their heads to drink water. Chen Changsheng was cleaning the grass and mountain fruits that the hairy deer would eat later according to Su Li's teachings. The lake water was a little cool. He looked at Su Li who was lying on the lake and asked curiously: "Who is Liu Qing?"

The words outside the sorghum were written by him with a short sword, but the content was said by Su Li. He had no idea what that sentence meant.

Su Li said: "It's the guy who never dares to show up in the birch forest and the sorghum field."

Chen Changsheng was a little surprised and said, "That assassin? Is it very powerful?"

Su Li said casually: "When those old guys in Tianji Pavilion were bored, they had privately ranked a list of killers on the mainland, and Liu Qing ranked third."

"The third killer list..."

Chen Changsheng thought of being secretly adorned by such a terrifying assassin, and suddenly felt that the wind blowing from the lake became a little cold, and subconsciously looked around.

But... the terrible assassin on the third place in the killer list is so ordinary? He is a little puzzled.

Su Li opened his eyes and said, "The more professional the killer is, the less attention it will be. The amazing assassin who has always ranked first on the list doesn't even have a name."

Chen Changsheng felt that this sentence sounded a bit strange. Who was the assassin on the top of the killer list? Su Li would even praise him. You should know that even the Saint Queen of Tianhai and the Pope did not receive much respect in Su Li's conversation. He couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "What do you mean by asking me to leave that sentence?"

"Xue He is Xue Xingchuan's younger brother, Xue Xingchuan is Zhou Tong's only friend. If Zhou Tong knew that Liu Qing had killed Xue He, Liu Qing's fate would have been very miserable."

"Liu Qing is also afraid of Lord Zhou Tong?"

"The more shameful a person is, the more afraid of Zhou Tong."

"Including the amazing assassin at the top of the killer list?"

"That's certainly an exception."

"But you said before that after he killed Xue He, he could pretend that I did it. Since he is the third-largest assassin on the killer list, there must be a way to arrange it without any doubts."

"I know he is Liu Qing, so as long as I am alive, Zhou Tong will know."

"Will Lord Zhou Tong believe you?"

"No need to believe it, it's enough just Zhou Tong suspected that it was Liu Qingzhao."

"But... there is no evidence."

"When will Zhou Tong need evidence when does things?"

Chen Changsheng thought about the horrifying rumors about Lord Zhou Tong, and thought that it was indeed the case.

People in Kyoto say that Zhou Tong's name can stop the baby from crying at night. Now it seems that it can also shock an assassin on the third place in the killer list.

He said, "I still don't understand why the assassin killed Xue He."

Su Li looked at him and raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't understand why you didn't kill Xue He."

"The General Xue He Shen is here to kill senior, not me. Just as you said, after he knew who I am, he obviously had no intention of killing me. Since that's the case, he can no longer kill you, senior. Why do I have to kill him? Senior... You seem to have forgotten that in terms of camp, I should be closer to you than to you."

Chen Changsheng said: "On the contrary, since my senior wants me to kill Xue He, why did you ask me to leave that sentence before leaving?"

Su Li said: "Since you are unwilling to kill, of course you must let him live and do enough favors to avoid losing."

Chen Changsheng didn't know how to answer this sentence, but instead said, "The assassin didn't know when it would take action."

He looked at the lake in the sunset and was very worried. The reputation of Lishan Master is naturally only stronger than Zhou Tong, but Su Li no longer has that deterrent power, especially after he blocked Xue He's knife for Chen Changsheng in the early morning.

"Assassin is the profession that requires the most success rate, so it must be the most conservative."

Su Li looked at the sunset in the lake and said, "Until he fully confirmed my injury and your ability limit, he will not appear, let alone take action, he will just wait like a mentally retarded person."
