Chapter 481 Long En

Yoshinaga's carriage rushed forward, and people along the way knelt down like a tide, but he still did not stop.

Even the tyrannical hooded guards felt a little tired.

Not to mention the slaves carrying him,

However, they did not dare to say a word.

This abnormal behavior of their lord started early in the morning, and he could not stop it. He got up from the bed and ran outside, and even killed a maid who wanted to put on his pants.

Only with the hooded guards' obstruction did Lord Yoshinaga calm down a little.

But then, he hurried them to the other side of Hengcheng.

Hengcheng was built on a high cliff. There was only one gate that could connect to the slope below, and another gate had a steel bridge across a canyon.

The carriage quickly passed the steel bridge.

The guard bowed and saluted.

There was actually a city on the other side of the steel bridge.

—— Merchant Blade.

Hengcheng and it are a rare twin city.

However, as the name suggests, the Merchant Blade does not belong to any lord or noble, but is the property of the Merchant Guild.

It is also their headquarters.

The only way for the Merchant Blade to connect to the outside world is the steel bridge connecting to Hengcheng. In a sense, it is Hengcheng, which belongs to the United Cities, that protects its entrance.

While the warriors bleed outside,

the merchants can indulge themselves here without caring about worldly affairs - there are also many nobles from other places who will secretly come here under an assumed name, which is an unspoken secret between them.

But obviously, the great lord of Hengcheng, Lord Yoshinaga.

He has no intention of having fun at this moment.

"Get out of the way!"

He cursed himself.

People along the street avoided it, but did not salute like the people in Hengcheng.

Those who can stay in the Merchant Blade.

are either rich or noble, so there is no need to give Yoshinaga face.

"We are here, please, sir..."

The carriage stopped in front of a mansion. The hooded guard was about to help Yoshinaga, but he was thrown away by him.

Yoshinaga did not have time to wait for the other party to open the door.

He rushed in directly from the side door left for the servants, shouting:

"Help, help me!"

He was almost crying.

The housekeeper of the mansion and the hooded guards who followed him were stunned.

Yoshinaga rushed into the courtyard, stumbled, and almost fell.

"Snap." A strong hand supported him.

It was a masked waiter in black.

"Oh, thank you..." Yoshinaga was still in shock.

The waiter nodded and retreated silently.

Another person's voice came from the front:

"Lord Yoshinaga, so anxious?"

A man in a linen robe sat in front of the stone table, looking at the hamster cage on the table with interest, and asked casually.

Seeing Yoshinaga calm down, he waved his hand and asked the hooded guards and housekeeper servants who followed him to retreat, saying: "Come on, don't let others laugh at you."

This man was dressed simply, and his decorations were not even as good as the previous housekeeper.

But his words revealed a powerful aura without anger, even if there were no samurai with swords drawn around him, people could not help but obey his orders.

Yoshinaga, who had just been worshipped by thousands of people outside, was now submissive, and his previous panic seemed to be suppressed by the other party's aura.

He swallowed his saliva and replied, "Yes, President Long En."

The general president of the Merchant Guild, the actual controller of the Imperial Cabinet now.

Long En.

He did not stay in the capital Heft City with Emperor Tengu, but stayed in his own Merchant Blade, but no noble dared to object.

As the great lord of Hengcheng, he lived next to the Merchant Blade.

Although Yoshinaga's ancestors were sword-bearing nobles with a good family background, he himself had already joined the Merchant Guild. At the beginning, it was he who supported Long En to join the cabinet - like his cousin, the former great lord who disagreed, had already been thrown into the desert to feed the sand weta.

Today, Yoshinaga, although he is a great lord.

But he also knew his position.

Patting the stool on the side, Long En gestured: "What's the matter?"

Yiyong sat down, and his heart, which had originally calmed down, was tightened again when he heard this.

He quickly took out a bloody letter from his arms: "President, please take a look."

On it, there were a few words written in crazy blood:

[You are the third one. ]

Signed: Lukin.

"Look at these bloody rebellious thugs, they are back again!" Yoshinaga patted the table and wiped his tears, "It's only been a few years... and he wants to kill me!"

The second half of the sentence is the truth.

When Yoshinaga opened his eyes early in the morning and saw this letter next to his pillow, he was immediately scared to death.

Being able to send this threatening letter to himself.

Doesn't it mean that the other party can kill him at any time?

Moreover, this killer named "Lukin" has had precedents before: many nobles have died in his hands, including a great lord of a city-state, Lord Saga... Yoshinaga didn't expect that it would be his turn so soon.

However, Long En was not surprised at all when he saw the letter.

Ji Yong was anxious and wanted to continue to explain the key points.

But Long En took out an identical letter from his robe and placed it in front of him.

It said: You are the fourth one.

The signature was also Lu Jin.

"This..." Ji Yong was stunned, "President, did you receive it too?"

"I didn't expect that I would be behind you," Long En smiled, "but don't worry, this is fake."

"Fake!"

"Yes." Long En fiddled with the cage in front of him, "The real Lu Jin was caught by me a few days ago."

"Then you say, can these words be true?"

"Lu Jin was caught!" Ji Yong breathed a sigh of relief, surprised and happy, "Then what is going on?"

"It's not right to say that it has nothing to do with Lu Jin." Long En said in a flat tone, "It was that kid who deliberately spread the news to divert our attention, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to escape when we are on guard."

"But this just exposed himself."

Long En didn't continue, just glanced at Ji Yong: "I advise you, it's better to check the servants at home."

Ji Yong heard it and reacted.

Since the person who sent the letter was not Lu Jin, it must be that he bribed the people in their house.

Some servants were greedy for money or had resentment in their hearts, so they became lax.

Because they were worried about retaliation, they would not dare to bribe them to kill people even if they had ten guts. But if they lied and said that they just wanted to scare these nobles, they would not have so much psychological burden.

A wave of anger surged in Yoshinaga's heart, and he wanted to go back and deal with these disobedient dogs and slaves immediately.

But he suddenly remembered that

the servants he saw when he entered the mansion seemed to be new faces - at least hundreds of people, they had all been cleaned up, and it was as if nothing had happened.

Thinking of what Long En said just now... Such decisiveness made Yoshinaga feel cold, and he couldn't help but admire it.

"Since everything has been resolved, it's good..." Yoshinaga sighed, and just as he was about to open his mouth to flatter, he found something wrong.

Obviously, the warning of the assassin's attack was just a false alarm.

But Long En did not relax, and there was still a hidden solemnity between his brows - Yoshinaga was also a confidant of the president, and after calming down, he could still notice this detail.

What could be more important than resolving the threat to life and catching the assassin who dared to assassinate the noble lord?

But the waiter standing in the shadows knew that before Lord Yoshinaga broke in, he was just reporting to Long En... the news coming back from the swamp.

It was simply horrifying and unbelievable.
