How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

"It's not impossible, it's just a bed warmer. Ali promises to warm the master's bed every night."

"I have a wife to warm the bed."

Xu Chengling shrugged his shoulders. He didn't need a maid to warm his bed.

Of course, with Mo Li's personality, this girl is just talking. If she is really asked to do something, she will definitely run faster than anyone else.

"Master, I can do it."

At this time, Tongxin pulled his sleeves, raised her little face, and looked at him expectantly.

"Ah, you are already my personal maid."

"It's no problem. Tong'er can learn the postures you don't know."

Tong Xin said seriously.

"..."

Xu Chengling was confused. What's going on? Tong'er, how come you have been led astray?

"Master, please go back home quickly. I'm starving."

Mo Li on the side couldn't help but urge, even though she had just had a meal in the restaurant not long ago.

Looking at the eater in front of him, Xu Chengling couldn't help but wonder if he had raised a glutton.

The three of them were on their way back home. With Tong Xin and Mo Li following them, they didn't have to worry too much about what might happen.

The princelings seem to have calmed down recently and have not sent any assassins to assassinate him.

After all, it costs money to train death warriors, and the amount is not small. Death warriors are disposable consumables and may only be used once after being trained for more than ten years.

After that, Xu Chengling sent Tongxin to Huaying Tower and gave orders to the madam of Huaying Tower.

Due to the special nature of Huayinglou, almost all the people who come in and out here every day are children from wealthy families.

There are also some princes and nobles among them, especially those who can persuade people with their influence, and a lot of important information can be obtained from their mouths.

At present, Xu Chengling has a lot of leverage over the ministers. As long as he wants, he can use the leverage to threaten the ministers to do things for him.

Among them, one person caught Xu Chengling's attention.

This person was Lord Shuhua, who was in charge of the royal cloth shop in the capital. Most of the official uniforms worn by ministers were custom-made by the royal cloth shop, and those made by other cloth shops did not count.

You can imagine how lucrative this position is.

And this Shuhua is a member of the Prince's party and the most important money bag for Prince Yu.

However, when Mr. Shuhua was running a cloth shop two years ago, he wanted to expand the scale, so he illegally merged with other privately-run cloth shops. Many people suffered in this merger.

You know, there are clear regulations in Dayan that royal cloth shops cannot rob or annex civilian cloth shops. This regulation is also to allow civilian cloth shops to continue operating in the capital.

The person who proposed this regulation was none other than the current emperor Yan Jixue.

It is obvious that Lord Shuhua violated the laws set by Your Majesty, and Xu Chengling just happened to have the evidence in his hands.

So, Xu Chengling handed the evidence to His Majesty in his own name.

This move is called killing with a borrowed knife.

He planned to use His Majesty's hand to get rid of the Princelings' most important money bag and severely suppress the Princelings economically.

Moreover, the evidence in his hand was a token of his loyalty to His Majesty. The message Xu Chengling wanted to convey was very simple.

Your Majesty, we are one.

Naturally, the more of these things that kill two birds with one stone, the better.

If nothing unexpected happens, Your Majesty should have received his letter of surrender and is preparing to get rid of the money bag of the Prince's party, that is, Lord Shuhua.

As they walked, Tong Xin suddenly frowned slightly and said in a voice that only Xu Chengling could hear:

"Master, someone is following us."

"Several people?"

"two."

Oh my god, just when I thought the princelings had finally calmed down for a while, they come back again?

It’s free to hire a killer?

"Is there any hostility?"

Xu Chengling asked. Seeing that Tongxin didn't look very alert, he knew the threat was not serious.

“I haven’t felt it yet.”

Tong Xin shook her head. The tracking methods of these two people were very crude and full of flaws. It was obvious that they were novices.

In her organization back then, this kind of people were generally called cannon fodder, and were sent out to be delivered.

If the other party just sent this kind of cannon fodder to assassinate her, it would be too much of an insult to her.

Mo Li could hear their conversation clearly. As the number one thief in the world, she was very confident in her hearing and could hear even the smallest sound.

After all, for a thief, these sharp ears are like a third eye.

"One is tall, the other is thin. Their steps are frivolous. Their martial arts skills should not be very high."

Mo Li said in a low voice that she could guess the other person's approximate body shape and martial arts by the other person's light footsteps.

Of course there are exceptions to everything, such as Tongxin. This girl walks silently, which is very scary.

The three of them couldn't help but speed up their pace.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared around the corner ahead.

At this moment, two sneaky men appeared behind them, one tall and one thin.

The thin one looked up at the tall one and couldn't help asking:

"Hey, did you see those two people clearly just now?"

"See clearly."

"Um, could it be Blue Eyes?"

"Although her appearance has changed a bit, her sharp eyes are definitely unmistakable. She must be the top killer of Yanluomen, the Blue-Eyed Yanluo."

The tall man said with certainty that although he was only a low-level member of the organization, he was fortunate enough to have seen the organization's gold medal take action once.

Facing the siege by dozens of masters sent by the righteous, she transformed into a bloody devil, emitting a terrible blood aura, with messy blood-red hair. She was like a slaughtering beast, killing people until blood flowed like a river and leaving no one alive.

Once you see this scene, it will be impossible to forget it.

Now those eyes were much more restrained and no longer as scary and sharp as before, but he still recognized them.

As for the other girl with black hair and purple eyes, although he had never seen her, she must be of high status since she could be with the organization's gold medalist.

But these two powerful people were actually following the man in white.

"I think that man in white is most likely the senior member of the organization we are looking for!"

The tall man couldn't help but speak in a deep voice and came to a conclusion.

Of course, he had reasons for saying this.

You know, the top leaders of Yamamen are all hiding very deeply. Unless they are top killers like Bi Yan, it is impossible for ordinary people to get in touch with the management.

To sum up, since Bi Yan and another master of the organization are following the man in white, it means that the other party’s identity is definitely not simple.

The most likely scenario is that the man in white is the high-ranking member of Yama Gate that they have been looking for.

Chapter 71: A Brick of the Anti-Thief Organization

However, due to some well-known reasons, this mysterious organization called Yama Gate has been destroyed by the imperial court, and the top leaders of the organization have either died or fled, and their whereabouts are all unknown.

Although this organization has been destroyed, its ideology still exists, and remnants of the former organization still exist in various places in Dayan.

However, these forces are still very scattered at present, and a force is needed to bring them together.

Obviously, the force that can bring together the remnants of these former organizations is the senior members of the former organizations.

The top leaders of the organization are still alive, which is a great thing for them. Even the organization’s gold medals are still there, and there are two of them.

This made them more convinced that this man was the top leader of the organization they had been looking for.

"Wait, they seem to be gone?"

The thin guy suddenly said, he was following a good person, but he disappeared when he was distracted.

"Hurry up and chase him. Don't lose him. We finally found him."

The tall man said hurriedly, and the two of them couldn't help but quicken their pace, not caring about hiding their bodies, and chased after him.

At the corner ahead, the two men suddenly stopped, their expressions changed, and they raised their hands cooperatively.

"Don't talk or move. Tell me, who assigned you to follow me?"

Tongxin held two short knives in her hands and put them against the necks of the two men as she questioned.

Because the tall man was quite tall, Tongxin had to stand on tiptoe. The other party was also very sensible and quickly bent his knees and lowered his body.

I didn't expect that my life would be in someone else's hands. How could I dare not cooperate?

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, but we can't tell you until we meet that person."

The tall and thin ones shouted in unison.

"You don't have a choice."

Tong Xin frowned slightly, and the short knife in her hand went a little deeper, and the blade was stained with blood.

"Please spare us, we have absolutely no hostility!"

The two men quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Oh, for me?"

At this time, Xu Chengling slowly walked out from the side and looked at the two people in front of him.

Looking at their dark attire, with their faces hidden in black scarves, it's clear at first glance that they are not good people. Who would wear black all day long, unless they are thieves?

Oh, by the way, it seems that these two people around him are like that, so it’s okay.

"Take off the veil."

Tong Xin said coldly, and the two hurriedly did as they were told and took off the masks from their faces.

Xu Chengling took the opportunity to take a look at the two people in front of him. He didn't know them and had never seen them before.

If he was a killer, that would be too stupid.

"Name, job, home address, report them all."

"My name is Gao Jin, his name is Shou Hou, and we don't have a job yet, and we don't have a place to live."

The tall one pointed at himself and the thin one and said, the tall one's name is Gao Jin and the thin one's name is Sogou, the names are very appropriate and easy to remember.

Xu Chengling nodded. It turned out that these two were unemployed vagrants, not killers.

After all, such a stupid killer can't live that long.

"What is your purpose in following us? And who assigned you?"

Xu Chengling continued to ask.

"No one assigned us to do this. We tracked it ourselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cut on the knife in Tongxin's hand became deeper.

"Have mercy, don't do it, we are all family!"

The two men were frightened to death when they saw the blood on the knife, and hurriedly shouted that it was their own people.

As they watched, they looked towards Tong Xin.

Xu Chengling looked at Tongxin beside him, only to see her nod slightly.

"Your former organization?"

"Master, do you know him?"
