"With your assistance, sir, I am like King Wen meeting Jiang Ziya. When I ascend the throne one day, I will certainly not wrong you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houcong felt relieved and, controlling Zhu Shou, smiled.

"With Your Highness's words, I am relieved."

The next day.

Zhu Shou's figure darted across the roof of the Suspended Mirror Bureau and silently slipped into the study of Xia Chun, the Mirror Master.

He gently placed the wooden box containing Fei Liu's head in the center of the desk.

Then he took out a piece of paper that he had prepared beforehand and stuck it on Fei Liu's forehead.

The inscription reads: "This is the murderer of Xia Shouzun, Jiangzuo Alliance Feiliu."

After finishing everything, Zhu Shou prepared to leave.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something very important.

Xia Dong seems to have overheard Xia Jiang's words in the prison!

At least that's how it's portrayed in TV dramas.

Thinking of this, Zhu Shou returned to his desk, picked up the brush, and wrote down a second note.

Xia Dong, a spy for the Jiangzuo Alliance, is undercover in the Suspended Mirror Division. Be careful not to betray him.

After finishing writing, Zhu Shou curled his lips into a cold smile.

Then, his figure flashed and disappeared from the study.

Xia Chun walked out of the Xuanjing Division dungeon and dragged her tired body back to her study.

After identification by dozens of people who knew Wei Zheng, it has been confirmed that Su Xuan is indeed Wei Zheng, the deputy general of the Chiyu Camp back then.

The moment he pushed the door open, his expression suddenly tensed up.

The Chief Mirror Officer, who is in charge of major cases in the Great Liang Dynasty, is naturally a meticulous person.

Xia Chun immediately noticed an unfamiliar wooden box, quietly placed in the center of his desk.

Then, alertly, he drew his sword and slowly stepped forward.

Seeing that no one was around, he used his sword to open the box lid.

When Fei Liu's head appeared, his brows furrowed even more.

Who is this person?

Who put it here?

Xia Chun was completely baffled.

During the prison break, Fei Liu was masked, and Xia Chun did not recognize him.

At this moment, Xia Chun saw the contents of the two slips of paper on Fei Liu's forehead.

"this…"

Xia Chun took the note in disbelief, then quietly put away the one that said Xia Dong was a spy.

Then, carrying the wooden box, he jogged all the way to the morgue of the Suspended Mirror Bureau.

He placed Fei Liu's head on the table and carefully compared it with the body of the murderer who had previously killed Xia Jiang.

When he pieced the head back together with the headless body, he found that it fit perfectly.

"It really was him."

Xia Chun suddenly sat up straight, clenching her fists, her heart filled with anger.

He immediately summoned Xia Qiu and Xia Dong.

Fei Liu's head was displayed together with the note that read "Jiangzuo Alliance's Prisoner Rescue".

"What are you waiting for?"

Xia Qiu was furious after reading it.

"The Jiangzuo Alliance is a bunch of scoundrels who dared to order their subordinates to kill their master. This is an irreconcilable feud."

"I'll gather my men right away, first raze the Su residence to the ground, then capture and severely torture Mei Changsu, the leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance."

"No."

Upon hearing this, Xia Dong hurriedly tried to stop him, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

"This matter involves the old case of the Chiyan Army, and Mei Changsu holds a noble title; we cannot act rashly."

"Now that Master is dead, countless people are eyeing the Suspended Mirror Bureau, this lucrative prize. In my opinion, we should first inform the Emperor and await his decree."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chun gave Xia Dong a deep look.

He had already decided to set a trap and wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump.

To test whether Xia Dong is a spy.

On the day of the prison break, so many comrades of the Suspended Mirror Division died or were injured. If it was really Xia Dong who secretly informed them, then she would never atone for it even if she died a hundred times.

After a long pause, Xia Chun finally spoke slowly.

"Junior sister's words make sense. In that case, I will go to the palace to see the Emperor and ask him to make a decision."

Xia Dong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Then she watched Xia Chun's figure disappear in the direction of the palace gate, and immediately turned around and slipped out through the side gate of the Suspended Mirror Bureau.

We hurried toward the Su residence.

Just as the eaves of the Su residence were becoming faintly visible, a dark figure suddenly leaped down from the top of the wall.

Xia Chun stood with his arms crossed, blocking the alley entrance, his face ashen.

"Junior sister, you really are going to inform Mei Changsu."

Xia Dong stopped abruptly upon seeing this, staring at Xia Chun with surprise.

"Senior brother, didn't you go to the palace? What are you doing here?"

Xia Chun slowly drew his longsword, his eyes filled with heartache and disappointment.

"Junior sister, why?"

"We were all raised by our master; he treated us like his own children. Why did you betray him?"

Seeing that Xia Chun already knew, Xia Dong took a deep breath and stubbornly said.

"Senior brother, I have a blood feud with Master. My husband, Nie Feng, was killed by Master."

Xia Chun was stunned when she heard this, but then she came to her senses and shouted sternly.

"Nonsense! Nie Feng was killed by the traitors of the Crimson Flame Army. What does that have to do with Master?"

Xia Dong smiled bitterly, shook his head, and pleaded desperately.

"Senior brother, I wouldn't joke about Nie Feng's matter."

"You don't know the truth, and I won't argue with you. For the sake of our many years of sibling friendship, please let me pass."

"Did you secretly tip off the Jiangzuo Alliance about the prison break?"

"I, Xia Dong, swear to God that I have not leaked a single piece of information."

Xia Dong raised his hand and said, "The brothers of the Suspended Mirror Division are all my comrades-in-arms. How could I harm them?"

Xia Chun stared at Xia Dong, her eyes swirling with emotion.

After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh.

He walked past Xia Dong sideways and directly pulled off the token representing the Suspended Mirror Division from Xia Dong's waist.

"The Jiangzuo Alliance is a remnant of the Chiyan Rebellion; once you leave, there will be no turning back."

“From today onwards, you have no connection with the Suspended Mirror Division.”

"Next time we meet, I won't hold back."

As Xia Dong watched her senior brother's departing figure, tears welled up in her eyes.

She choked back tears and said, "Thank you, senior brother."

She wiped away her tears and resolutely continued running towards the Su residence.

On the eaves not far away.

Zhu Shou remained hidden in the shadows, coldly observing Xia Dong and Xia Chun's emotional outburst.

The murderous intent in his eyes gradually intensified.

What a touching story of brotherly and sisterly affection.

The Suspended Mirror Bureau needs a overhaul.

Zhu Houcong had Zhu Shou secretly follow Xia Dong all the way, because he was worried that Xia Chun would soften her heart.

As expected, Xia Chun ultimately couldn't let go of their feelings.

Zhu Shoudao's gaze was fixed on Xia Chun's back.

If you cannot serve me, then die!

This is a good opportunity to send you disciples to reunite with that deadbeat Xia Jiang.

At this moment, in Zhu Houcong's eyes, Xia Chun had already been labeled as someone who was destined to die.

The next second, Zhu Shou's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a lingering shadow on the eaves.

In an instant, he appeared like a ghost, three zhang behind Xia Chun.

Xia Chun remained completely unaware.

Immediately afterwards, a cold light pierced the air, heading straight for his heart.

This strike was as fast as lightning.

As Zhu Shou set off again, Xia Chun collapsed to the ground in shock, his eyes wide open in death.

Chapter 193 My Handsome Kun is indeed handsome

Xia Dong was unaware that Xia Chun was dead. She sped along and soon quietly arrived at the back gate of the Su residence.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Xia Dong did a somersault and leaped into the backyard of the Su family mansion.

However, the moment she landed...

The experts of the Jiangzuo Alliance swarmed out from all directions, the sound of swords being drawn echoing throughout.

"Lord Xia Dong?"

Li Gang stepped out from the crowd and was surprised to see Xia Dong.

Mei Changsu knew that Xia Dong had been turned against him.

"What brings Lord Xia Dong here so suddenly?"

Xia Dong looked around, but did not see Mei Changsu.

She said urgently, "Where is Mei Changsu? I have something of life-or-death importance to tell you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Gang's expression hardened, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to push it down.

"The sect leader is currently unable to receive guests. If Lord Xia has important matters to discuss, please inform me first."

Xia Dong nodded, took a deep breath, and spoke rapidly.

"Today, a mysterious person delivered Fei Liu's head to the Suspended Mirror Bureau and left a note identifying the Jiangzuo Alliance as the mastermind behind the prison break."

"What's worse is that Wei Zheng's identity has been exposed, and my senior brother Xia Chun is on his way to the palace to meet the emperor. I'm sure the emperor's decree will be issued soon."

"If you don't move immediately, you'll have no other chance!"

Upon hearing this, Li Gang's pupils contracted sharply, and his brows furrowed tightly.
