Your Majesty, please give me one more chance

Xia Zhi tried his best to entangle the man in black, Xia Zhi knew that this man must have come to the General's Mansion to carry out an assassination, and he almost lost his life in the end.

The footsteps of the guards could be heard not far away, and Xia Zhi was done here.Xia Zhi used a special technique to release the man in black's internal strength, took advantage of this gap to hit the man's acupuncture points, and removed his jaw to prevent him from committing suicide.Xia Zhi didn't know if this man could be killed, so he could only save his life.

Xia Zhi opened his door, and the group of guards were also standing outside his door.

"The man in black you want to arrest is inside." Xia Zhi said briefly, with a faint aura of a superior, rather than an elegant and weak scholar.

"Ah...well, thank you Mr. Su." The leader of the guards was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, his eyes glanced at Xia Zhi, with doubts and surprises, as well as deep thought.

The man in black was taken away, and Xia Zhi could finally be clean. As for the look of those guards looking at him, he was going to ignore it. It was stipulated that scholars could not catch assassins.But he might actually get into trouble if he exposed like this, but that's another matter.

Sure enough, his troubles came the next day.Zuo Chen personally came to look for him, but seeing that his face was a little pale, he must have been hurt by the assassination last night.

"Su Yu pays homage to the general." Xia Zhi's mood fluctuated a lot when he saw Zuo Chen again, but he managed to hide it well in the end.This is the best proof that he really can't forget Zuo Chen.

"Don't be too polite." Zuo Chen still had a cold face, and the words he said were still cold.

"General, please sit down." Xia Zhi handed a cup of tea to Zuo Chen, "I don't know when the general came to see me? Could it be because of what happened last night?"

"Yeah." Zuo Chen nodded lightly, "Did you catch the assassin last night with your own hands?"

"Well, is there a problem?" Xia Zhi looked Zuo Chen directly into his eyes, and it was still no fun to look at him.

"He was sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion." Zuo Chen withdrew his gaze from Xia Zhi, and took a sip of the tea in his cup.

"The general suspects me?" Xia Zhi raised his tone slightly.

"Do you know martial arts?" Zuo Chen asked without answering.

"Only moves." Xia Zhiyi replied, not knowing what Zuo Chen was going to do.

"The way you tap acupuncture points is very strange." Zuo Chen said again.But Xia Zhi was stunned when he heard the words.He forgot that his acupressure technique is different from others, and it is unique, and no one can learn it.If there is someone who understands, his identity will probably be revealed.

"Is there a problem?" Xia Zhi asked back, but he was relieved to see that Zuo Chen didn't have any emotional fluctuations on his face. He probably didn't recognize him, after all, only that kid Xia Yan knew that he would do acupuncture.

"No," Zuo Chen slightly lowered his eyelids, Xia Zhi couldn't see what was in his eyes, "Thank you so much last night."

"General, you don't need to thank me. My sister and I are standing together." Xia Zhi said with a smile. Su Yu's taking refuge in Zuo Chen is equivalent to him taking refuge in Zuo Chen.

"Yeah." Zuo Chen nodded and was about to get up and leave, Xia Zhi couldn't say anything, it was good for him to leave, then he wouldn't have to work so hard to pretend.

"General, go slowly." Xia Zhi saluted Zuo Chen.

"Ah."

Xia Zhi went into the room after seeing him off, but he didn't see the painful and mournful look on Zuo Chen's face standing outside the door looking at his residence.

A few more months passed, and Xia Zhi stayed in the General's Mansion for so long in the blink of an eye.

The court was fairly stable, but Xia Zhi knew that it was only on the surface, like a river in winter, with thick layers of ice on top, but an undercurrent still surging underneath.
