I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

Soon after, the emperor's investigation confirmed Chen Jue's report. Minister Liu was dismissed from his post, his property was confiscated, and he was exiled to the frontier; Qian was imprisoned and awaiting trial. Their power collapsed overnight. Minister Liu had been in the court for many years and thought his plan was flawless, but he did not expect that Chen Jue would reveal his crimes so easily. He was filled with resentment and resentment. Qian, who had made his fortune from smuggling, was instantly reduced to a prisoner, and it was even more difficult to swallow this breath.

However, Minister Liu and Qian would never give up. They secretly planned a counterattack in prison, trying to deal a fatal blow to Chen Jue before they were completely suppressed to vent their hatred. In the dark and damp cell, the two men looked at each other across the bars, their eyes full of vicious calculations. They mobilized their hidden forces in the capital, gathered a group of desperate criminals, and promised a large sum of money, just to take Chen Jue's life.

On this day, Chen Jue went out to handle affairs as usual. He was wearing a blue robe and a jade crown, and walked steadily on the streets of the capital. The vendors on the street were shouting, and the sounds of hawking one after another intertwined into a lively scene. Pedestrians came and went, some hurriedly on their way, and some stopped to choose goods. No one noticed that danger was quietly approaching.

Suddenly, several dark figures rushed out from an alley, holding sharp blades, and rushed towards Chen Jue. The leader had his face covered, and only his exposed eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he shouted viciously: "Chen Jue, today is the day you die!" The voice was like the roar of a demon from hell, which was particularly abrupt in this noisy street market.

Chen Jue was startled, but calmed down in an instant. He was agile and quickly dodged one person's attack. At the same time, he kicked the other person's wrist with a flying kick. His movements were crisp and clear, and he kicked the sharp blade in his hand away. "Humph, you guys want to kill me?" Chen Jue said coldly, with a fearless light in his eyes, like a lion that was forced into a desperate situation but still brave.

But the other side had more people and more power, and each of them was very skilled. Chen Jue gradually lost and suffered several minor injuries. The blood stained his blue robe red, but he did not retreat at all. At this critical moment, Chen Jia got the news and rushed over.

Chen Jia was extremely anxious. She was dressed in a tight outfit, holding a long sword, and rushed into the battle group like a gust of wind. "Husband, I'm here to help you!" She shouted, her voice firm and powerful, as if it contained endless strength and courage, and it was clearly audible in this chaotic situation.

When Chen Jue saw Chen Jia, he was both surprised and happy: "Madam, why are you here? Let's go, it's dangerous here!" There was a hint of anxiety and worry in his voice, fearing that Chen Jia would be hurt.

Chen Jia did not flinch: "How can I leave you alone? Today, I will fight these criminals with you!" After that, she swung her sword, and the sword flowers flashed. She and Chen Jue stood back to back and resisted the enemy's attack together. Her sword skills were sharp, and every sword was full of determination to kill, as if she was a female war god descended from the sky.

Chen Jia's swordsmanship was sharp and deadly. She turned around and deflected an assassin's sword that was stabbing at Chen Jue. The sound of metal colliding was crisp and piercing. Then she quickly swung her sword back and scratched the assassin's arm, and blood splattered. "You evil people, you will pay for what you did today!" She shouted angrily, with anger burning in her eyes.

Chen Jue was also inspired by Chen Jia, and he pulled himself together and fought back with all his strength. His boxing skills were vigorous and powerful, and every punch he threw made a whirring sound, which matched Chen Jia's sword skills and made it difficult for the assassins to get close to him. The two of them shuttled through the swords and shadows, like a pair of dancers dancing gracefully, but this dance was full of deadly danger.

In the fierce battle, Chen Jia's sharp eyes found a flaw in the assassins. Her eyes lit up and she shouted to Chen Jue: "Husband, the assassin on the left is weak in defense. Let's focus on attacking him and rush out!" Her voice was calm and decisive, pointing out the direction for this tense situation.

Chen Jue nodded in understanding, and the two of them simultaneously attacked the assassin on the left. Chen Jia's sword was like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole, piercing the assassin's throat, so fast that people had no time to react. Chen Jue punched the assassin in the chest, knocking him back several steps. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they broke through the assassin's encirclement and ran to a crowded place.

The assassins refused to give up and kept chasing them. Chen Jue and Chen Jia ran all the way, shouting, "Help, there are assassins!" Their shouts echoed in the street, breaking the original peace.

Finally, the patrol soldiers nearby heard the shouts and rushed to support. The soldiers held long spears in their hands, and their neat footsteps stomped on the ground, making a dull sound. Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassins fled in all directions and soon disappeared in the streets.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia stopped and gasped for breath. Chen Jia hurriedly checked Chen Jue's injuries: "Husband, you are injured, let's go back to the mansion to find a doctor." Her eyes were full of concern and distress, her hands were shaking slightly, and she carefully checked the wounds on Chen Jue's body.

Chen Jue held Chen Jia's hand, his eyes full of emotion and love: "My wife, today is all thanks to you. If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have been in great danger." His voice carried a hint of relief for surviving the disaster and deep gratitude to Chen Jia.

Chen Jia shook her head gently: "My husband, you and I are one, sharing life and death. These people dared to assassinate us openly, we must not let them go." Her eyes revealed a firm determination, as if at this moment, she had made up her mind to fight these evil forces to the end.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Chen Jue and Chen Jia immediately informed the emperor of the incident. The emperor was furious when he heard it, and his originally majestic face was now covered with a layer of frost. He slapped the armrest of the dragon throne and said loudly: "How can my capital allow these criminals to be so presumptuous!" He immediately ordered to intensify the pursuit of Minister Liu and Qian's remnants, and to catch all the criminals who dared to commit crimes in the capital, to give justice to Duke Chen, and to give the people of the capital a peaceful environment.

The emperor's order was quickly conveyed to every corner of the capital. For a time, the capital's guards stepped up patrols and searches. The streets and alleys were filled with a tense atmosphere. The people also talked about the assassination incident and expressed sympathy and indignation for the fate of Duke Chen and his wife. Chen Jue and Chen Jia were recovering from their injuries in the Duke's Mansion. At the same time, they were secretly investigating the whereabouts of Minister Liu and Qian's remnants, preparing to cooperate with the emperor's pursuit to completely eliminate this hidden danger, ensure the safety of themselves and their families, and the peace of the capital.
