Chapter 0032 Sentinel
Li Chengkong smiled at them and said, "Come together!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Someone come!"
"There's an assassin—!"
Sun Guiwu's eyes lit up and he shouted at the top of his lungs. After shouting twice, he put his hands to his mouth to let the sound travel further.
Hu Yunshi shook his head and shouted.
Song Minghua felt that Li Chengkong's shouting was too exaggerated and too shameful, so he just opened his mouth but didn't shout out.
The shouts of the three people were enough to shake half of the Xiaoling Mausoleum.
A moment later, several people floated over and landed in his yard.
The leader was the gloomy-faced Qin Tiannan.
"What's going on?!" Qin Tiannan asked coldly: "Where is the assassin?"
"He ran away!" Li Chengkong said hurriedly, "Chief Qin, there are assassins who want to kill us!"
Hu Yunshi said: "If we hadn't screamed desperately, he would have been killed."
"Please ask Director Qin to make the decision for us!" Song Minghua said hurriedly.
Qin Tiannan glanced coldly at the four of them one by one.
The four of them looked at each other calmly, without any sense of guilt.
Li Chengkong said: "Chief Qin, I have always been law-abiding and I don't seem to have any enemies. Why do you want to kill me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the four middle-aged men around Qin Tiannan couldn't help but curl their lips, and the six young men who were floating down from the sky also curled their lips.
"You don't have any enemies!" Qin Tiannan said coldly.
Li Chengkong looked at him blankly: "Zhou Wangchuan's elder brother Zhou Wanghai should come to me, but as a captain of the Xiaoling Guard, he won't do such a thing, right? Even if Zhou Wanghai has help from his fellow disciples, the head of the Daluo Sect wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous and treat the court as nothing, right?"
He could never admit that Zhou Wanghai died at his hands.
The Three Religions and Four Sects have a transcendent status, but they are definitely not so unscrupulous.
Martial arts are flourishing today and martial arts sects have a high status, but it is still the imperial court that rules the world, and this is still the imperial court’s world.
No matter how powerful a sect is, it cannot be stronger than an army.
Qin Tiannan's face became more gloomy. He turned his head and glanced at the people behind him. He said in a deep voice: "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Who is on duty tonight and saw someone break into the Xiaoling Mausoleum... and the whereabouts of the Xiaoling Mausoleum Guards!"
Li Chengkong said, "Chief Qin, the assassin may not stop until he achieves his goal."
"What do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush, just say it!" Qin Tiannan said coldly.
Li Chengkong said respectfully: "With assassins lurking in the dark, we are afraid we won't be able to sleep well and will be worried day and night."
He is in a lowly position now, so he should keep a low profile and be well behaved. He cannot think that he is the protagonist just because he is the one who has an important job, and act arrogantly. That would be asking for trouble.
"Then what?" Qin Tiannan asked.
"Can you put a guard outside our courtyard?" Li Chengkong smiled embarrassedly: "With the Xiaoling Guards guarding nearby, the assassins dare not come again!"
As soon as he said this, he was met with several sneers.
Who does this guy think he is, asking the Xiaoling Guards to guard him? What kind of style is this?
It's just a fool's dream!
Li Chengkong said embarrassedly: "Master, life is at stake, we can only shamelessly beg for mercy."
Qin Tiannan was too lazy to answer.
"Master!" Sun Guiwu rushed up with anger, puffed out his chest, and shouted: "The lives of us vegetable-growing eunuchs are also lives, right? Do you think the Xiaoling Guards only guard the Xiaoling Mausoleum and don't care about the lives of us vegetable-growing eunuchs?"
Everyone around had an expression of deep agreement.
The life of a eunuch who grows vegetables is the cheapest life and is not worth mentioning.
Of course, this is something everyone knows tacitly and cannot be said openly.
Song Minghua said in a deep voice: "Master, we four are worthless, so we die, but I am afraid that the other eunuchs who grow vegetables will feel sad and work without putting in any effort."
"Hmph!" Someone sneered disdainfully.
Li Chengkong nodded secretly.
As expected, they have a tacit understanding after being together for a long time. They cooperate very well, which saves me countless words and the effect is better.
He heard the sneer, his respectful expression remained unchanged, but his eyes suddenly became cold and slowly swept over the person who sneered.
He was one of the three young men who were around Zhou Wangchuan at that time.
In addition to Zheng Xifeng, there are two others, one of whom is this young man. He has always remembered them.
There are two accounts of theirs in the little notebook.
"...Li Xin, Li Zhong, and Li Yong, the three of you will set up a sentry post outside their house and take turns on duty at night. You don't have to do it during the day!"
"Yes!" Three gloomy young men stepped forward, clasped their fists and agreed proudly.
When the three of them stood together, a murderous aura filled the air.
Li Chengkong narrowed his eyes slightly.
He always thought that the descriptions in books were all exaggerated, and that the momentum or not was all psychological suggestion.
If you know that a little old man is a billionaire, you will feel a little nervous when standing in front of him, as if every move of the old man has an inexplicable power that can move people's hearts . But if you don't know that this little old man is a billionaire, you will not feel anything at all.
But when the three young men in front of me clasped their fists with such a stern face, the invisible force that makes people's hair numb, their sweat stands on end, and pours cold water on their backs really exists.
Their momentum made the four middle-aged men behind Qin Tiannan who wanted to speak shut up.
"The life of a vegetable-growing eunuch is also a life, no less valuable than the life of the Xiaoling guards. Everyone in the Xiaoling Mausoleum has their own duties, and they are all very important!" Qin Tiannan said in a deep voice: "If they fail at night, you three will be held accountable!"
"Yes!" The three of them clasped their fists and shouted in a deep voice.
The chilly and cold atmosphere caused the surrounding temperature to drop by several degrees.
"Let's go." Qin Tiannan left surrounded by the crowd.
Only three gloomy young men were left standing there.
Li Chengkong clasped his fists and smiled: "Thank you, my three brothers!"
The three of them glanced at him coldly, their six gazes were in unison, and then they turned and drifted towards the woods nearby.
Li Chengkong smiled indifferently.
In fact, he was extremely angry.
Not only is he not open-minded and generous, but he is also petty and vindictive.
Being open-minded and magnanimous seems easy, but it is actually very difficult to do so. It requires one to be naturally rough-minded, but he is good at calculating and is as meticulous as a hair.
Sun Guiwu laughed loudly and praised: "Old Li, you are amazing! You are really amazing!"
Hu Yunshi gave a thumbs up.
This move thwarted the assassination attempt by Daluo Sect Leader.
Song Minghua breathed a sigh of relief: "We can finally sleep peacefully!"
Li Chengkong smiled and said, "Let's go back to sleep."
He sat on the couch and began to recall, playing it scene by scene, frame by frame, observing the man in black.
Who is this person?
The next day, after dinner, he slowly strolled towards the lake.
According to the unspoken rules, Shenxiu Lake is the territory of the Xiaoling Guards, and eunuchs who are growing vegetables are not allowed to get close to it.
Li Chengkong now lost his respect for the Xiaoling Guards.
Most of these Xiaoling Guards are only at the Mufeng Realm, or at most at the Four Symbols Realm. They have never seen any top masters.
Of course, the five newcomers were able to sweep the Xiaoling Guard because several top masters of the Xiaoling Guard were absent and the top masters were always busy.
Since he is not here, there is no need to be afraid.
He has no fear towards masters of the same level.
He turned around and ran into four groups of Xiaoling Guards .
They seemed not to see Li Chengkong, their eyes swept straight past him, as if he were a transparent person.
