Chapter 687 (2/2)
“Bang!” The narrow-faced man's body stiffened and was instantly hit by two palms and a fist
He spat out a ot rid of the stiffness in his body Then, disregarding the condition of his injury, he threw a punch as Feng Jing, determined to make one of them a sacrificial victim
“Bang!” Chu Li's Divine Light Fist sent hi
The narrow-faced ain in midair and had his acupuncture point sealed off before his stiff body fell upon the locust tree root and turound with the other two comrades
Chu Li said, “Elder Qin, are you heavily injured?”
Qin Jin shook his head with a grim look
Chu Li turned to his three other couys okay?”
“We're not that easily defeated!” Feng Jing huffed, glaring at the threemanner
He had also been going all-in with his attacks without avoiding any of the other party's punches, co to see which side could outlast the other
He felt as if his whole body was falling apart as his body was aching all over due to the serious internal injuries he had suffered He would have to be properly nursed back to health after this
Despite his physical injuries, he was filled with exuberance and great satisfaction
Chu Li said, “We should leave quickly in case anyone else comes to back them up”
“Yes!” Qin Jin agreed
Chu Li picked up two of the roup of them treaded on-air and returned to the Secret Guardians Hall, heading straight into the main hall
During their journey, Chu Li did not say a word as hisrapidly Qin Jin and the others were tactful enough to leave him alone
Since he had accepted the hundred thousand taels of silver frohai, it would not be appropriate for hiency of the iven him those hundred thousand taels of silver, he would not intentionally stall this matter either
Upon entering the main hall, Chu Li waved a hand and said, “Go home and properly tend to your injuries”
“Yes, Centurion” Qin Jin and the others gave a fist salute before turning to leave
In the shan and Xu Huande
“These are the assassins?” Fu Mengshan pointed at the three men
Chu Li confirht!”
“Good job, young lad You're very efficient!” Fu Mengshan clapped his hand on the arhed “As expected, I didn't entrust this case to the wrong person!”
Chu Li responded with a faint s their confession, the Coh like this anymore!”
“Why is that so?” Xu Huande asked with his eyebrows knitted together
Chu Li replied, “They have acted under the orders of Minister Counsellor from the Ministry of War, Gu Qi!”
The sshan's face froze while Xu Huande's expression darkened
This was a matter of extreme importance The Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of War and the Holy Church of Light had already stirred up trouble before Now, they were reappearing at the saain?
It would be fine if it turned out to be a coincidence, but if it was true that they orking together, then chaos would ensue!
The Manifestation of Nature Restoration had allowed Chu Li to think at a faster rate, so on the way back, he had already been able to infer bits and pieces of the truth about the case While he realized that he had been causing himself needless anxiety, what he speculated was no trivial matter either
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Actually, I've also been secretly investigating the assassin of the first assassination case and I found out that the assassination has been ordered by the Deputy General working under King Ping!”
“In that case, these two assassination cases aren't related then” Fu Mengshan nodded to himself
Chu Li, on the other hand, shook his head “It's very likely that Prince Shan's assassination happened because of his investigation into Prince Jiang's assassination case”
“Meaning they're working together?” Fu Mengshan's expression slowly becaaze to Xu Huande
Xu Huande quickly interjected, “Chu Li, you better not spout any nonsense here!”
Chu Li replied, “Hoould I dare spout nonsense about such a matter?!”
He was not only suggesting that the Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of War was colluding with the Holy Church of Light, but also that the Deputy General working under King Ping was colluding with the Holy Church of Light That ht, the Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of War and the Deputy General all on the sashan and Xu Huande would be reacting as such
“No, I have to report this to the throne right away!” Fu Mengshan quickly rose from his seat
“Wait, Co back to Chu Li “Are you certain of this?”
Chu Li answered, “I have no evidence yet This was all based on my speculations”
Fu Mengshan cast hiroundless claims!”
Chu Li shook his head “I should be very near to the truth”
Fu Mengshan scrutinized hi to read his aze in a calm manner
Xu Huande, too, would not stop staring at him
Fu Mengshan sat back down, druers on the arers druan to pick up speed, dru away faster and faster
“Bang!” He sla to report this to the Emperor! … Chu Li, you make some preparations as well to enter the palace!”
Chu Li raised his eyebrows at this and held up a fist salute
