Chapter 1576
However, when everyone saw the bruised carriage, they realized that today's assassination should not be the first time.

Li Chengqian, whose arms were still wrapped in white gauze, was supported by Butler Ning and jumped out of the carriage.

Chen Qiao frowned and looked at Li Chengqian who got out of the carriage in a mess, confirming the guess in his heart.

After Li Lizhi and Fu Lan brought the terrified Princess Huai and Brother Jue into the mansion, Chen Qiao took Li Chengqian to the study, and Li Tai and the others followed behind them.

"what happened?"

After taking his seat in the study, Chen Qiao finally asked.

Li Chengqian's face turned pale. He glanced at Chen Qiao, sighed and said, "Today is already the No. 20th wave of assassins I have encountered since leaving Qingzhou."

Thinking back to the carriage riddled with knife scars, Chen Qiao's brows frowned more and more tightly.

"No. 20 wave?!"

Li Tai's face also completely darkened.

Although Li Chengqian also carried out gene fusion, he not only had to beware of assassins at all times along the way, but also had to protect his princess and son, so naturally he was exhausted.

Looking at the tired look on Li Chengqian's eyebrows, Chen Qiao couldn't help but sighed, "Is it related to the lights on Waguo Island?"

Li Chengqian glanced at Chen Qiao, then nodded with a sullen expression, "I said in the letter that I have sent people to the island to investigate, but..."

Having said that, Li Chengqian clenched his hands into fists, and his face was full of anger.

"I sent three batches of spies over there, but..."

Li Chengqian did not continue to speak, but everyone present already knew what he was unable to say.

"Nothing was found?" Chen Qiao asked.

Li Chengqian closed his eyes in despair and shook his head, "I didn't find anything."

"Nothing was found, and the other party is so persistent in wanting your life, it can be seen that there are indeed some shameful things hidden on that island." Chen Qiao said with a gloomy face.

Li Chengqian nodded, he opened his eyes and looked at Chen Qiao, "I originally planned to leave for Beijing a few days later, but when I sent out the first batch of spies, I suddenly discovered that my Prince Huai's mansion had appeared overnight. A lot of new faces."

Hearing this, Chen Qiao frowned even tighter.

"All the first batch of spies went there but never returned. I didn't give up, so I sent people there twice. Who knows, the result was the same each time." Li Chengqian's voice contained a bit of sadness.

"After the third batch of spies disappeared," Li Chengqian took a deep breath, "suddenly some blood-stained clothes and corpses of birds and animals appeared frequently."

Hearing this, the expressions of the people in the room suddenly changed.

"I know that if I continue to stay in Qingzhou, even if nothing happens to me, the concubine and Brother Jue are likely to be injured by them, so I decided to set off to return to Beijing."

"Who knows, as soon as I left Qingzhou, those people blatantly started chasing and killing me." Li Chengqian's voice became low.

If Chen Qiao hadn't already performed gene fusion for him, I'm afraid he would have already died in the hands of assassins.

"It seems that there are indeed some shady things hidden on that island." Chen Qiao said after pondering for a moment.

Li Chengqian nodded, "Definitely."

The voice fell, and the study fell into silence for a while.

In this silence, Li Chengqian's wound, which had been sloppily bandaged, began to ooze blood again.

"Let's put aside the other things first." Chen Qiao looked at the wound on Li Chengqian's arm with cold eyes, "I'll call someone to come and then bandage your wound."

"……it is good."

Li Chengqian nodded in agreement.

Several people could see that Li Chengqian was exhausted all the way, and it was not easy to persevere until now, so they didn't say anything more, just let Li Chengqian go to rest first.

"Who the hell is doing this?"

After Li Chengqian left, Li Tai couldn't help asking.

Chen Qiao shook his head, "Although I don't know who is behind the scenes, I think they won't give up killing people so easily."

"You mean..." Li Tai's eyes widened suddenly, "Someone will come to assassinate Big Brother?!"

Chen Qiao nodded silently.

"But, but this is the General's Mansion!" Li Tai said in disbelief.

In his opinion, there is no place in this world that is more deterrent and safer than the General's Mansion.

"Did you forget? I sent people to spread the news of my serious illness before." Chen Qiao sneered, turned to look at Li Tai and said.

Of course Li Tai knew about this, "But haven't you already shown up? Now the common people should know that you have recovered."

After pondering for a moment, the corner of Chen Qiao's mouth suddenly raised, "Of course the people in Chang'an City know that I'm fine, but can an island across the strait from Datang get wind of it so quickly?"

Speaking of this, Chen Qiao suddenly snorted coldly, "I originally came up with such a method to attract Huang Guan and Zhang Xizhi to Zhang Ancheng, but I didn't expect to have other gains now."

"Then what should we do next?" Li Ke asked.

Chen Qiao shrugged, "There's no need to do anything, just sit back and wait."

"Stay on the sidelines?" Li Chengzong frowned, "What if they dare not enter the General's Mansion?"

Chen Qiao snorted, "Can they not come if they don't want to?"

"What do you mean?" Li Tai asked puzzled.

Chen Qiao didn't say much, but just sent someone to call Yang Xujing and Qi Zifeng, and Xin Zhicheng, who was already in the general's mansion, also came to the study soon.

"Is Shen Yongda back yet?" Chen Qiao asked with a frown.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, there was another commotion outside, several people looked at each other, and then Xin Zhicheng got up and opened the door of the study.

"grown ups!"

As soon as he looked at the study door, Shen Yongda, covered in blood, appeared at the door.

Chen Qiao's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was relieved only after he saw clearly that the bloodstains did not belong to Shen Yongda.

"The subordinate has been caught alive!"

Following Shen Yongda's words, the people in the room finally realized that he was injured and was carrying a person who was not breathing out as much as he was breathing out.

"Come in first." Chen Qiao ordered in a low voice.

Shen Yongda walked into the study in response, and threw the person in his hand to the ground, "This kid still has a poison under the base of his tongue. If his subordinates didn't find out, I'm afraid he has already gone to see Lord Hades."

As he said that, Shen Yongda "spit" fiercely at the man again.

"Wang Bajiaozi!"

After Shen Yongda scolded people, Chen Qiao asked again in doubt: "Why can't he speak?"

Shen Yongda raised his chin, "Oh, this subordinate was afraid that he would bite his tongue and kill himself, so he removed his chin. If the lord has something to ask about his deterioration, this subordinate can just press it back for him."

"Don't ask here." Chen Qiao said coldly.

Shen Yongda, who was just about to start, stopped and looked up at Chen Qiao when he heard this.

"Go to the dungeon, the dungeon is more convenient, and there are many torture tools that can be used." Chen Qiao said.

"Yes!"

Shen Yongda clasped his fists in response, then picked him up and walked out.

"I'll go take a look too!"

It may be because of Li Chengqian's injury, Li Tai's face is not very good now, and after saying a word, he followed Shen Yongda and walked towards the dungeon of the General's Mansion.
