I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

When Gu Zhaoming saw Yang Cheng running to the roof, his breathing became heavier.

What is he going to do?

It was the middle of the night, and the Pingyang Marquis's mansion was full of old, weak, women and children. Yang Cheng...

Gu Zhaoming couldn't stay there any longer.

He kept an eye on the Yang Mansion these days, spent some money, and found out a lot of information.

This Yang Cheng looks like a decent man, but he is actually a lustful man. It’s just that he hides it well, and not many people in Beijing know about it.

Gu Zhaoming was in a state of uncertainty and was hesitating whether to go forward when he was discovered by the servant.

"Who's there?" the servant shouted coldly.

Seeing that the servant was tall and strong, Gu Zhaoming subconsciously stepped back.

Unfortunately, the opponent was very fast and grabbed Gu Zhaoming in just three or two steps.

"What are you doing hiding there?" The servant stared at Gu Zhaoming fiercely, as if he was going to punch him if Gu Zhaoming didn't explain anything clearly.

"Let go!" Gu Zhaoming's clothes were pulled at his chest.

The servant didn't listen to him at all and didn't loosen his hold at all.

His mind was now filled with the thought that he must not let others know that his master, a dignified second-rank general, actually robbed someone else's house at night. If this matter were to be told to others, it would be troublesome.

While thinking, the servant had already thought of several ways to make Gu Zhaoming shut up. "Tell me, what are you doing here secretly?"

"Passing by..." said Gu Zhaoming.

Not only did his master not believe this, but he himself did not believe it either.

It's the middle of the night and the weather is not very warm. Who would pass by here in the middle of the night?

The servant didn't believe a word of this.

When the servant saw that Gu Zhaoming had fallen into his hands and still dared to hide it from him, he raised his leg and kicked him.

The kick landed directly on Gu Zhaoming's stomach, causing him so much pain that he couldn't straighten up for a long time.

However, the servant did not intend to let Gu Zhaoming go. Instead, he found a rope and tied Gu Zhaoming up.

"Let me go! I am an official appointed by the imperial court! You are beating an official appointed by the imperial court... well..."

The servant took out a towel from somewhere and stuffed it into Gu Zhaoming's mouth. The alley immediately became quiet.

Inside the mansion of Marquis Pingyang, Yang Cheng stood on the roof and looked around. He found the courtyard in the mansion where the lights were still on and headed straight there.

Shen Rong stared at the moon for a while, then came to her senses and found something strange.

She seemed to hear footsteps... No, the footsteps seemed to be coming towards her.

Shen Rong's heart tightened.

Who would sneak into the house at this time?

Shen Rong was thinking while making hand gestures, waiting to capture the man as soon as he showed up.

As soon as Yang Cheng climbed over the wall of Guiyuan, he saw Shen Rong standing in the moonlight. She was as beautiful as a fairy in the moon, and his eyes lit up.

Ever since Shen Rong started practicing the secret of longevity, her appearance and temperament have slowly begun to change.

Yang Cheng was about to jump off the wall and say a few words to Chen Yuan.

Upon seeing this, Shen Rong quickly made a gesture to him.

Yang Cheng saw the other party waving at him, and a faint green light shot towards him. Then he felt a sharp pain in his chest, which was so painful that he almost cursed.

Shen Rong almost laughed out loud as she watched Yang Cheng stumble and fall from the wall.

At this moment, Yang Cheng didn't care about anything else. He covered his chest and ran out. He felt that his chest was almost in pain. Beads of sweat kept coming out of his forehead.

Yang Cheng endured the pain and climbed over the wall again to leave Pingyang Marquis Mansion. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he saw a man tied with a rope next to the servant.

"Who is this?" Yang Cheng asked in a deep voice.

The servant hurriedly kicked Gu Zhaoming, "Master, this guy followed us and I caught him!"

Yang Cheng's eyes darkened, "Are you sure?"

The servant nodded rapidly, "It's so late, hiding in that corner, staring at us, if not following us, what else could he be doing?"

Yang Cheng's chest was still hurting, and he was getting a little impatient. "Kill him!"

Gu Zhaoming felt the other party's undisguised murderous intent, his eyes bulged, and he shook his head frantically.

The servant was not surprised and just said, "Master, why don't we ask who sent him?"

Yang Cheng thought about it, suppressed his impatience, and said, "Take the thing out of his mouth."

The servant hurriedly pulled the towel out of Gu Zhaoming's mouth.

"Tell me! Who are you and why are you following me?" Yang Cheng endured the pain and his voice became colder.

The moon had already hidden in the clouds, and neither the servant nor Gu Zhaoming noticed anything unusual about Yang Cheng.

Gu Zhaoming did not dare to hide it this time. "My surname is Gu. I used to work as a sixth-rank editor in the Hanlin Academy. Because my mother passed away, I returned to my hometown to mourn because... because I had something to tell the old lady of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, so I wandered around here in the middle of the night..."

Gu Zhaoming naturally didn't dare to tell the whole truth.

"Oh? His surname is Gu...a sixth-rank editor..." Yang Cheng suddenly thought of his current wife's ex-husband, and his eyes darkened.

Gu was a sixth-rank editor in the Hanlin Academy and was also in mourning for his mother. All of these things conflicted with Chen's ex-husband.

Yang Cheng immediately refuted all of Gu Zhaoming's words.

This man named Gu must be unwilling to lose his status as the son-in-law of the Yiyong Marquis, so he followed him and waited for an opportunity to find trouble with him.

It's no wonder Yang Cheng thought so. Chen Yuan was not very pretty. If she was not the daughter of Earl Yiyong, he would not have married her.

And this sixth-rank editor who was born in a peasant family probably wants to climb up the ladder by taking advantage of the power of the Yiyong Marquis's Mansion.

After Yang Cheng realized that he had figured it out, he took a deep breath and said, "Dingbang, you know what to do, right?"

The servant named Dingbang didn't wait for Gu Zhaoming to react, but raised his hand and hit him on the back of the neck, and Gu Zhaoming fainted.

Yang Cheng looked at the scene with a cold face, "Find a hidden place to get rid of the person."

After saying that, he left the alley without looking back.

As soon as Yang Cheng left, the servant took out a dagger from his body, raised his hand, and stabbed the dagger into Gu Zhaoming's chest.

The servant took advantage of the night and dumped the man in a mass grave outside the city.

It's impossible for the city gate to be opened at this late hour.

The servant took advantage of the night and found a dog hole to lead the two men out of the city.

Gu Zhaoming was awakened by the pain. After waking up, he felt cold and in pain, and he had no strength in his body.

With the help of the hazy moonlight, Gu Zhaoming finally saw clearly where he was.

Under the moonlight, the desolate mass grave was filled with corpses lying in all directions. Next to Gu Zhaoming was a female corpse with incomplete facial features.

No matter how brave Gu Zhaoming was, he couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment.

Why was he in a mass grave?

Gu Zhaoming was seriously injured. He wanted to save himself, but unfortunately he had lost too much blood and was completely weak. The wound on his chest was still painful. Gu Zhaoming was getting colder and colder, and his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred.

Gu Zhaoming tried hard to cheer himself up, he knew he would not survive this time.

However, he never dreamed that his final destination would be a mass grave!

The moment Gu Zhaoming fell into darkness, a trace of unwillingness flashed through his heart.

Unfortunately, no matter how unwilling he was, it all disappeared as Gu Zhaoming took his last breath.
