Besides lying down, I also know a little about power struggles

Chapter 89 Keep You Safe
Fang Tong had never dreamed of Fang Xiaohua in the past six months, but since she traveled to Dazhao, she has dreamed of it several times, especially the last two times, as if it was conveying something to her.

She thought of the power she used when she transformed. Could it be related to Fang Xiaohua?
She pondered for a long time but could not come to the point, so she asked Feng Twelve: "How did you think that my transformation was related to cats?"

In her eyes, Feng Twelve has always been a pragmatic person. She has never seen him have any interest in ghosts and gods, but he not only easily accepted her identity as a transmigrated soul, but also seriously analyzed the reasons for her transformation. If Feng Twelve's behavior was not like that of a modern person, she would almost suspect that he was also a transmigrated soul.

Feng Twelve thought for a moment and said, "Because you can only turn into a cat."

Fang Tong was speechless.

She thought he had some clues, but it was just because of this.

Seeing that she was speechless, Feng Twelve smiled faintly.

He didn't tell her that he had a dream about her that night.

Just like the ancient stories warn people, if you meet a strange person, don't reveal the other person's origins, otherwise that person will suddenly disappear or get into trouble.

He didn't want Fang Tong to disappear.

He never believed in those weird things before, but this time, he would rather be conservative than take risks.

He understood how much courage it took for Fang Tong to tell him all this. Her origins were even stranger than that of the mountain god, and her real identity was even worse.

An assassin from Bai Niao Pavilion who had escaped from the scene reappeared after being missing for many days. No wonder Qing Luan and others wanted to capture her. They must have regarded her as a defector. However, to the imperial court, a defected assassin was still an assassin. The case of Prince Ping had almost destroyed Bai Niao Pavilion. As one of the people who ambushed Prince Ping, Fang Tong could not escape punishment.

The smile in Feng Twelve's eyes disappeared, replaced by a serious expression.

"Your background must not be known to anyone else." He warned in a deep voice, "Especially your identity as an assassin."

Fang Tong nodded: "Of course I won't tell anyone else."

If she could say it, she would not have made up the title of mountain god to deceive Feng Twelve.

Feng Twelve looked at her and suddenly said, "Since you told me, I will keep you safe."

Fang Tong was a little surprised.

She knew that Feng Twelve was a good man and that he had helped her escape danger several times, but he suddenly made such a solemn promise that she was surprised and felt a little guilty.

"I'm the one who caused you trouble." She whispered.

"You chose to tell me. There are only two possible outcomes. One is to cause trouble for yourself, and the other is to cause trouble for me." Feng Twelve's tone was very gentle. "I'm glad you trust me."

Fang Tong met his smiling gaze, and couldn't help but feel his ears warm. He maintained a calm expression and replied calmly: "I'm just taking a gamble."

"Between life and death, few people are willing to make such a gamble." Feng Twelve's eyes were deep, "If you lose the bet, you will lose your head."

"But I won the bet." Fang Tong smiled, "It turns out that I have a good eye."

Feng Twelve raised his eyebrows and said, "Not long ago, someone claimed that she was the mountain god."

Fang Tong's smile froze slightly, and she chuckled twice: "That's all in the past."

Feng Twelve saw that she wanted to cover up the fact that she had lied to him with just one sentence, so he lowered his eyes and smiled softly: "Will you lie to me again in the future?"

Fang Tong's throat moved slightly. Feng Twelve's smile made her feel inexplicably pressured.

"I won't lie anymore." She raised her right hand decisively and held up three fingers. "You are my savior and you have given me a new life. I will never lie to you again no matter what I say."

Feng Twelve listened to her finish her words, his eyes moved slightly, and he tilted his head: "Really?"

Fang Tong nodded heavily: "I can swear."

Feng Twelve looked at her shining eyes and solemn expression, and raised the corner of his mouth: "I never believe in anyone's oath."

"You don't even believe it yourself?" Fang Tong glanced at him.

Feng Twelve lowered his eyes, looked at her index fingers twisted together on her knees, and smiled again: "I never swear either." Fang Tong curled her lips.

"Does your promise to me still count?" she asked deliberately.

"Promise?" Feng Twelve seemed a little surprised. "What promise?"

Fang Tong closed his mouth and glared at him.

Feng Twelve laughed, and the more he laughed, the more Fang Tong frowned.

Normally he wasn't the type to laugh so much, but lately he seemed to be liking to tease her more and more.

Fang Tong pointed at himself and said: "If the White Bird Pavilion fails to kill me once, they will definitely kill me a second time. How are you going to protect me?"

"The White Bird Pavilion is nothing to be afraid of," Feng Twelve said, "On the contrary, the imperial court is more dangerous."

Fang Tong stared at him for a long time: "Have you forgotten that you are also a member of the imperial court?"

"So I can keep you safe." Feng Twelve stared at her with his dark eyes, his face calm, "Now tell me what happened to you in Furong Courtyard that night, and everything about the assassin Bingqi."

……

In Luozhou city, a rider on a fast horse came out of the government office and entered the general's mansion.

"This is an official document from the Linshui County Office," the messenger handed the letter over with both hands, "The prefect ordered me to bring it to the general for his review."

Deputy General Guo Yin glanced at Sui Yongdao's expression, walked down the hall and took the letter.

"What else did your parents say?" he asked on behalf of Sui Yongdao.

"No more." The messenger said, "My Lord only said that the general will know after reading the official document."

"Go down."

Guo Yin waved the messenger away, turned around and delivered the letter to Sui Yongdao.

Sui Yongdao is nearly fifty years old and has a sturdy build. He sits on a large tiger-skin chair with a strong figure, turning two small ivory-carved balls in his left hand.

Seeing Guo Yin handing him the letter, he leaned on the armrest and raised his chin: "You read it."

Guo Yin responded with a “yes” and opened the letter.

He glanced at the contents of the document and his expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Sui Yongdao narrowed his eyes. "What went wrong?"

Guo Yin hesitated for a moment and looked around: "General, the spy we sent to Linshui County is dead."

Sui Yongdao paused while spinning the ball: "Go on."

Guo Yin swallowed his saliva and said, "Feng Twelve found out where the spy had been and asked the coroner to perform an autopsy. He suspected that the spy was from the Beihe Army."

Sui Yongdao asked solemnly: "Just a suspicion?"

Guo Yin was startled. "From what the official document said, he asked the Linshui County Office to contact the Luozhou Prefecture Office to verify the identity of the spy. This must be just a suspicion, without any solid evidence."

"Should?" Sui Yongdao glanced at him and sneered, "Guo Yin, you must have been beaten on the buttocks, how come even your brain doesn't work anymore?"

"I am ashamed," Guo Yin said hurriedly, "I am only speculating based on the official documents. If there is anything inappropriate, please correct me, General."

Sui Yongdao snorted coldly: "Feng Twelve dared to ask Linshui County to issue this official document. He did not do it to verify it, but to test my reaction."
