Sentencing, will kill

Lin Chujiu's words put Commander Li into a dilemma.

Search or not?

If they search, they will be dead.

If they don't search, how can they return to the palace?

While Commander Li analyzing the pros and cons, Lin Chujiu once again opened her mouth and shamelessly said: "I will give you a column stick of incense to make a decision. If you still didn't search at that time, I will have to send you out of Xiao Wangfu."

After saying those words, regardless of what Commander Li thought, Lin Chujiu let Housekeeper Cao put a column stick of incense: "Commander Li, pay attention to it closely, so that later on, you will not say I cheated you."

Lin Chujiu's words were directed to Commander Li, but her eyes were staring at Hu Weichuan from the Northern Territory.

Lin Chujiu was not the kind of person who believes in coincidence. This person named Hu Weichuan appeared too coincidentally. And witnessed things too coincidentally. What's more, he knew what happened to Futai's son from the Northern Territory.

To say that Hu Weichuan was not chasing after Jing Chi and his younger brother, Lin Chujiu will not believe it.

However, this matter has nothing to do with her. The assassin was hired by them for business and not their actual people. She believed that there is no need for her to get involved in this.

When the incense was ignited, Lin Chujiu picked up her teacup again and sipped the tea slowly.

The tea was slightly cold and bitter, but Lin Chujiu didn't care. She doesn't know how to appreciate the taste of tea.

She was relaxing, while Commander Li was suffering.

Commander Li originally wanted to send someone back into the palace to ask the emperor about what he should do. But by then, Lin Chujiu's stick of incense will be finished, so Commander Li no longer dares to send someone.

The plaque of Xiao Wangfu was given by the first emperor. If they purposely ignored it, the two factions will have to fight, the very first people will suffer will be them.

What to do? What should I do?

Commander Li was regretting a lot at this moment, if he knew things will be like this, he will not pick up this task.

Sure enough, any task related to Xiao Wangfu was not easy. Although it will bring great achievements, no one ever succeeds in those tasks.

A column stick of incense was not so short, but the wind kept blowing, soon enough, only a little length of a finger was left. Housekeeper Cao kindly reminded Commander Li: "Commander Li, the incense is almost burned, if you still don't make a decision, it will be too late."

Commander Li looked up and stared at the column stick of incense. The incense burner reflected in his eyes and also the uneasiness he felt.

*Puff* Lin Chujiu laughed, put down the teacup, and stood up, then said: "Commander Li, do you want to search or not? If you don't want to search, then go out. I don't have much time to play with you."

"I…" Commander Li turned his head to look at Lin Chujiu. Seeing Lin Chujiu's calmness and self-confidence, Commander Li became reluctant inside his heart. But when he remembered the emperor's order, he didn't dare to step back.

Commander Li kept repeating inside his heart: Xiao Wangfei was only acting.

Xiao Wangye was not in the capital, Xiao Wangfei was only a woman so what can she do? Perhaps she's afraid of blood, and so she has no courage to kill the imperial guards. And where will she get the courage to kill the imperial guards? Isn't she afraid to make the emperor angry?

Yes, it must be like this. Xiao Wangfei must be scared of him, and she actually doesn't dare to kill anyone!

With such thought in mind, Commander Li gradually calmed down. He secretly took a breath, calmed his mind, and looked at Lin Chujiu. He gritted his teeth and said: "Search!"

Lin Chujiu raised an eyebrow, it was a bit unexpected, but there was nothing wrong with it. So she said: "Housekeeper Cao, inform the people inside to cooperate with Commander Li's search. An Pu, keep an eye to everyone, don't let them get away."

Lin Chujiu once again hinted that she will kill them.

Commander Li's heart skipped a beat, as his eyes flashed with fear. However, he soon calmed down himself, he said to the imperial guards behind him: "You, and you, bring a group of people with you and search."

Although he told himself that Lin Chujiu will not dare to kill, he didn't dare to risk his life, instead, he let his subordinates come forward.

Although Commander Li did not say anything, his move explains everything. Lin Chujiu couldn't help but smile and taunt him: "Commander Li is truly a smart person."

Everyone understood what this "smart person" means. Commander Li's face turned red, while the imperial guards behind him had a pale face, but… …

Because of the difference in the position, they didn't dare to oppose Commander Li.

The two young imperial guards went out and called a group of people to come inside. Commander Li wanted them to go directly to search, but Lin Chujiu called them and let Houskeeper Cao repeat the rules she set.

The Imperial Guards were full of confidence. But when they heard Lin Chujiu's set rules, their eyes flashed with fear and anxiety.

"You still have a chance. Turn around and leave, then you can continue to live." Lin Chujiu didn't mind to be the bad guy. But of course, she knew she shouldn't become bad, so she said: "Remember, the person who is sending you to death is not me, it is your commander. If you become a ghost and wanted to take revenge, you have to find Commander Li."

Lin Chujiu didn't hesitate to push the blame to Commander Li.

If these people died, their family will record this account on Commander Li. Maybe not, because they were following the emperor's order.

The Imperial Guards didn't dare to open their mouths and just stood there with their heads low. Commander Li saw Lin Chujiu deliberately inciting the imperial guards. What does she mean by this?

He doesn't know Lin Chujiu, so he didn't understand that her words reminding them that not only they will fail to see the assassin, but they will also fail to report clues about the defense. Rather, they will only lose their life.

Lin Chujiu didn't care much about Commander Li. After she said those words, she waved her hand and said: "Well, you can check the house now. I wish you good luck."

When she finished, she walked back to the flower hall in a leisurely manner. She didn't attend to the imperial guards' movement.

Commander Li stood outside the courtyard and looked at the imperial guards who had dispersed and went to the main court of Xiao Wangfu and the inner court. When suddenly, he turned back inside the flower hall.

He will guard Lin Chujiu!

Xiao Wangfu was very big. Although Commander Li brought a lot of imperial guards with him. It will still take 2 to 4 hours to find out the result. Lin Chujiu was not in a hurry. She let people send her snacks and books. She sat leisurely while reading a book. On the other hand, Commander Li and the others can only stand there with an empty stomach.

The sun starting to fall, the afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the mainland. The orange sunlight reflected in the whole Xiao Wangfu, making the chilly and empty atmosphere of Xiao Wangfu a bit warm, but… …

Commander Li started to get chill.

The sky was getting dark, but they still haven't found anything. As for the people who went to search, did they found out the defense of Xiao Wangfu? Commander Li doesn't know. Well, he doesn't know if he has the chance to know… …

As time passed by, the more Commander Li felt uneasy, while Lin Chujiu was still calm. The people of Xiao Wangfu was very cooperative. It was a search, but there was no loud noise at all. Such silence made him, even more, felt uneasy.

Now, he believes that Lin Chujiu was telling the truth. And those imperial guards that rushed inside will only be killed.

Annoyed, regret… Commander Li felt different kinds of emotions inside his heart. He looked at Lin Chujiu to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

Time passed quietly, when the afterglow of the sunset gradually disappearing, the uneasiness in Commander Li 's heart reached its peak. However, at the same time, the imperial guards who were searching came out… …
