He appeared at the Imperial Residence of Prince Kang.
Leng Shoushan personally came out to welcome him and brought him to his courtyard.
The Imperial Residence of Prince Kang and the Imperial Residence of Prince Bao occupied about the same amount of land, but the decorations were completely different.
Every courtyard was a garden, it was far from the spacious atmosphere of Prince Bao's Residence. Every garden was unique in its own way, it was elegant to the extreme.
Leng Shoushan's courtyard was also a garden. They sat in a gazebo above a small lake, a faint fragrance lingering in the air.
Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror to scan. The fragrance came from the wood used to build the gazebo. It was a type of strange sandalwood. The fragrance it emitted could refresh the mind and also repel mosquitoes and flies. It was the most expensive wood.
To a normal person, the gazebo's purple pillars were not eye-catching and did not look luxurious.
The lake water was clear, and one could see the spring at the bottom. The spring water kept bubbling as if it was about to burst out of the water.
The round wooden table in the gazebo was purple, exuding nobility and vicissitudes.
"Brother Chu, we're in trouble this time." Leng Shoushan personally filled his silver cup with a jade pot and sighed. "I was assassinated, it was probably Gu Qi's order."
Chu Li had helped a lot with his personal identity. Leng Shoushan felt that it was best to address him as a brother.
Chu Li said, "Fortunately, the Imperial Crown Prince is safe."
"Luckily, Ninth Brother forced his four Protectors on me, or else, I really can't say for sure!" Leng Shoushan showed an expression of lingering fear.
Chu Li said, "I was ordered to investigate the Imperial Crown Prince's assassination and try my best to find the culprit."
"Brother Chu, you want to investigate my case?" Leng Shoushan quickly asked.
Chu Li nodded.
Leng Shoushan slammed the table. "Alright!"
He was extremely impressed with Chu Li's miraculous methods. He felt that with Chu Li's help, the culprit would not be able to escape.
Chu Li said, "Even in the Imperial Residence, we have to be careful of assassinations."
Leng Shoushan frowned and slowly nodded.
Chu Li said, "Think about the assassinations in the Imperial Residence of King An. When these people go crazy, they don't care about their lives. What's there to worry about?"
"Yes, we have to be careful!" Leng Shoushan nodded.
The Imperial Residence of King An was not weak either. They even had a master like Chu Li. Yet, they were still assassinated by martial arts masters time and time again. It was obvious that the people did not respect the Imperial Residence!
"Imperial Crown Prince, how are the Protectors' injuries?" Chu Li asked.
Leng Shoushan shook his head. "These injuries are hard to treat, none of them were healed."
"I want to meet them," Chu Li said.
Leng Shoushan raised his voice to summon an elder and gave the order.
Soon, four middle-aged bodyguards arrived at the gazebo. Their footsteps were as slow as an old man's. Three of their faces were pale, and one of them was purple. They were breathing with difficulty.
Leng Shoushan introduced Chu Li to them, and the four of them looked at Chu Li curiously.
Chu Li was a legendary figure in the Fairy's Capital, and they had heard of his name before. They realized that Chu Li was younger than they had imagined, but they did not underestimate him. Although he was young, he was calm and steady, and he had a dignified temperament.
Chu Li checked their injuries one by one and took the opportunity to expel the inner energy from their bodies.
Their injuries had not been good all this time because their inner strength had not dissipated and could not be dispelled. Even though they had taken the elixirs from the palace, not only had their injuries not been alleviated, they had even worsened. If this continued, only death would await them.
"Is it possible to find the murderer?" Leng Shoushan asked.
Chu Li frowned and remained silent.
"Can they leave now?" Leng Shoushan asked.
Chu Li nodded.
The four of them gave Chu Li a fist salute and thanked him for his help.
Chu Li watched as they left, then looked at Leng Shoushan.
Leng Shoushan hurriedly asked, "What is it, Brother Chu?"
"The second person I reached out to was an insider," Chu Li said.
Leng Shoushan's face darkened. "That's Eldest Brother Xu, he's an elder in the family!"
Chu Li did not say anything else.
Leng Shoushan took a deep breath and said hatefully, "He must have been possessed, how dare he betray the Imperial Residence!"
Chu Li said, "Imperial Crown Prince, don't be in a hurry to make your move. You can take your time to observe and see if he has any intentions of rebelling."
"Sigh …" Leng Shoushan smiled bitterly. "I was afraid that I would end up like Fifth Brother, carefully selecting the most reliable Protectors, I never thought …"
"After the Crown Prince was assassinated, he didn't even think about cleaning himself up. Could it be that he has an insider?" Chu Li asked.
Leng Shoushan shook his head. "I've just calmed down, I don't have time to think about that."
Chu Li said, "The assassins this time are disciples of the Holy Church of Light."
"Holy Church of Light? It's them again?! "Leng Shoushan frowned." What are they trying to do? "
The Holy Church of Light was in an uproar a while ago, they had just calmed down, but now they were back!
Chu Li sighed. "I want to know what they're trying to do too. I'll go track the assassins first, I'll visit the Crown Prince next time."
Leng Shoushan quickly said, "The people from the Holy Church of Light are not easy to deal with, be careful!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled. "Be careful too, Crown Prince!"
He glided up to the treetops, stepped on the treetops and drifted away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
—
Qin Jin and the others were in the living room discussing what furniture to buy, whether they should change the furniture, buy some exotic plants in the courtyard, or open a pond to keep fish, and build two small pavilions.
Chu Li suddenly appeared, and they quickly bowed.
Chu Li said, "Qin Jin, the four of you will follow me to track the assassins."
"Centurion, us brothers will go! Leave the tracking to us!" Ning Boyuan quickly said.
Chu Li shook his head. "There's no need to track them this time, it's a fight to the death. The disciples of the Holy Church of Light can only go to the Grandmaster's Boundary!"
The Ning brothers were instantly discouraged.
Qin Jin smiled. "We can finally move around, our bodies are rusty!"
Chu Li said, "Let's go now, do you have anything to prepare?"
Qin Jin and the others shook their heads.
"Let's go," Chu Li said.
He brought the four of them out from the back door, concealed their bodies, and headed west.
Chu Li secretly sighed as he glided. He did not expect this group of assassins to be so bold. Were they confident that no one would see through them, or did they think that no one would be able to catch up to them? They did not escape after the assassination, but instead hid in the Fairy's Capital!
"I don't need to tell you how to deal with the disciples of the Holy Church of Light, right? Let's end this quickly, we can't let them use their secret skills, we have to kill them within a few moves, even if it means getting injured! "Chu Li said.
Qin Jin and the others nodded.
It was already noon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and they arrived at a residential area.
This was a place where commoners lived, every residence was not big, and they were all a little old, there were no rich people living here.
Chu Li stopped in front of a residence, and pointed diagonally across. The four of them signaled that they understood, the assassins were in the house next door.
Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror could already see inside.
Under the big locust tree in the small courtyard sat three middle-aged men in green, lazily drinking tea and chatting casually.
The fragmented shadows left by the locust tree scattered on them, but they looked relaxed.
Chu Li and the others happened to stop within the range of the three men's senses.
"Something's not right," a short and fat middle-aged man frowned. "I have an ominous feeling, we can't stay here for long, we have to leave immediately!"
"Brother Jiang, is there really a problem?" The middle-aged man with a long and narrow face sat up straight. "Someone is coming?"
"Anyway, it was a sudden impulse, there must be danger, we have to leave immediately!" The short and fat middle-aged man stood up, looking left and right.
The last sturdy middle-aged man said casually, "We're just scaring ourselves, who would be able to trace it back to us, but since it doesn't feel good, let's leave!"
The three of them put down their teacups, got up, and were about to leave.
Just as they were about to move, Chu Li suddenly appeared behind the short and fat middle-aged man, a cold light flashing on his waist.
The short and fat middle-aged man's reaction was sharp, as Chu Li expected, he lowered his body and leaped forward.
