It's as if the sword on his neck is not a sharp one.

"Someone told me that your head is worth ten million! You said... what should I do?" The person's voice was hoarse.

This is a female voice.

She deliberately lowered her voice.

"Then take my head to receive the reward!" Guo Heng said calmly.

"You don't want to know why your head is worth ten million?" the woman asked quietly.

"I am an official of the imperial court. I have offended too many people over the years. There are so many people who want my head! If you ask me to guess, you might as well cut off my head now and claim the reward!" Guo Heng put down the pen in his hand. , leaning on the chair.

"Tell me... where Wei Xiong is! I just need to get his head! Your head... can be temporarily stored on your neck!" The woman put away her sharp sword.

Guo Heng shook his head and said: "I don't know Wei Xiong! If you kill me, you can take my head away at any time!"

"Guo Heng!! Don't think that I dare not kill you!" The woman turned around suddenly, revealing a cold and mature face.

This is a woman in her late teens, not much different in age from Guo Heng.

Guo Heng shook his head and said: "My life is like an ant, and killing me is like searching for something from a bag! I won't make any struggle! If you want my life, I can give it to you! But you ask me where Wei Xiong is? How can I know?" "

"But I received news that Wei Xiong is here with you!" the woman said coldly.

Guo Heng continued to shake his head and said: "You are too familiar with my City Lord's Mansion! Go west and search for it! If you can find any trace of Wei Xiong, I will personally pick off the head on my neck and give it to you!"

"Tell the truth! If I accept this mission, I can keep you alive! If someone else accepts this mission, you will probably be on the way to receive the reward!" said the woman.

Guo Heng sighed and said, "You shouldn't wade into this muddy water!"

"I do it for you too!" The woman's deep eyes flashed with a somewhat complicated color.

Guo Heng said: "Wei Xiong did come to the City Lord's Mansion, but he only stayed for one night and left!"

"Don't you know Wei Xiong?" A thin shadow entered the living room of the City Lord's Mansion.

This guy was dressed in tight black clothes. He had a fair face and held a sword in both hands. His words were full of contempt. At first glance, he was a master of swordsmanship.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the City Lord's Mansion without permission! Someone...get this guy for me!" Seeing the person coming, Guo Heng became furious and shouted angrily outside.

"Okay! Stop screaming, I've killed everyone outside! Now in this huge city lord's mansion, you and I are the only ones left alive!" the fair-skinned man said lazily.

Guo Heng frowned and turned his gaze to the cold woman.

The woman frowned, obviously not expecting the fair-skinned man to be so ruthless and even kill innocent people.

"I know you know Wei Xiong! According to reliable information, Wei Xiong and you once belonged to Yan Beidu's command! Moreover, you were both one of the many fierce soldiers under Yan Beidu's command! Now you only need to tell Wei Xiong's fate, I can keep you safe and sound!" said the fair-skinned man.

"What if I refuse to answer?" Guo Heng became stubborn.

"Then I can only hold your head and go to collect the reward first! Anyway, the place where Wei Xiong is hiding has been confirmed in the city lord's palace! If you want to blame it, blame your precious son! He actually reported himself to the family! He set himself on fire!" The fair man sneered.

"You can kill or behead him as you please. If you want to get the whereabouts of Wei Xiong from my mouth...don't even think about it!" Guo Heng wouldn't tell him even if he was killed.

"In that case...don't blame me for being rude!" After saying this, the fair-skinned man made a clanging sound and unsheathed his long sword.

"Xue Xing...he may be innocent! Are you sure you want to attack him?" The woman frowned and asked coldly.

Xue Xing, a fair-skinned man, hummed softly: "Everyone has been found in the cell of the City Lord's Mansion. Who else is innocent? What? Do you want to commit suicide?"

As he spoke, the fair-skinned man dodged his body and stabbed Guo Heng with his sword. The speed of the attack was unhesitating.

"Shh..."

Almost when Xue Xing's sword was about to stab Guo Heng, the woman on the side couldn't help but take action.

"If he jumps, he will jump! No one has the right to kill him except me!"

As he spoke, he pulled the long sword in his hand, leaving a blood mark on Xue Xing's neck.

"Chen... Chen Bining... you... aren't you afraid that General Luo will be blamed?" Xue Xing's pupils widened, he touched his neck with one hand and growled in disbelief.

"I'm not even afraid of death! Am I still afraid of him?" Chen Bining said coldly.

"Then you are questioning your Chen family..." Xue Xing was unwilling to accept it, but the blood on his neck was like a fountain, spraying out every time he said a word.

"The Chen family... kicked me out a long time ago! I regard the Chen family as my enemy! What can Luo Zhengfeng do to me?" Chen Bining said disdainfully.

"you you……"

"thump……"

Before Xue Xing could say anything else, he fell into a pool of blood with a thump.

Guo Heng frowned and said: "Killing Xue Xing is equivalent to offending the Xue family and Luo Zhengfeng for the first time!"

Xue Xing comes from the Xue family, one of the three major swordsmanship families in the Yan Empire.

Chen Bining comes from the Chen family, one of the three major swordsmanship families in the Great Yan Empire.

As a member of a swordsman family, Chen Bining was expelled from the Chen family long ago and became a killer.

Although Xue Xing was part of an expelled family, he also became one of the killers.

This time Luo Zhengfeng offered a reward worth tens of millions per head. After learning about it, many killers and soldiers took over the task one after another.

Chen Bining and Guo Heng have known each other for a long time.

The two of them were said to be husband and wife, and Chen Bining did not live in the city lord's mansion.

They are said to be lovers, but they often get tired of being together.

The relationship between the two is like husband and wife + lover + confidant. The three are integrated into one, and it is hard to explain.

"So what? I'm not afraid of you, why are you still afraid?" Chen Bining asked with a glance.

"Hmph! It's just the Xue family, what do I have to fear? I am an official of the imperial court. If he dares to attack me, someone in the imperial court will avenge me!" Guo Heng sneered.

Chen Bining said disdainfully: "It seems that you still haven't recognized the reality! Do you still expect the people above you to save you? Li Rui and Luo Zhengfeng have joined forces! Who else has a higher official position than them in the court now?"

When these words came out, Guo Heng's whole body trembled violently.

Chen Bining didn't say anything, but he really didn't notice it.

Having said this, Guo Heng instantly felt that the current court was indeed different from the past.

In the past, with Yan Beidu in charge, he could carry out development and construction in a big way without fear of offending people, because there were people above him.

Not anymore.

Yanbeidu fell, and the imperial court deteriorated!

Does such a court still need to continue to serve?

Thanks to him for repaying the imperial court, even if he died, the people in the palace wouldn't know about it, right?
