“Your Highness, the killers have been caught,” the guard outside the Zhang Manor reported.

The assassins lying in ambush on the road to the Zhang Mansion were all captured. None of them escaped. Su Qing nodded.

“Immediately interrogate them.”

Su Qing felt she had to find the enemy lurking in the capital immediately. If she were late, something big would happen. She turned around and entered the Zhang residence. When Old Lady Zhang saw her return, she was shocked.

When she heard that Su Qing wanted to borrow a room to interrogate the killer, the old madam hurriedly ordered people to clean it up. She also asked the servants to stay far away. The arrangements were very thoughtful.

The guards brought the killers into the room. Su Qing used the Bone Dislocation Tendon Splitting Hand to interrogate them. The killers were still holding on at first, but they confessed in less than an hour.

They took orders from Dong Lai Shun’s boss but had never seen the boss’s appearance. They had only received orders through the shopkeeper.

As for how many people they had in the capital? He only knew how many people there were in this assassin group. He didn’t know anything else.

The division of labor in their organization was apparent. The killers could not ask about other things and only listen to orders to kill.

Su Qing was not satisfied with the results of the interrogation. There was nothing useful. It could also be said that the boss behind Dong Lai Shun was brilliant. He had a clear hierarchy. There were spies in the palace and among the royal family, assassins, and organizations that spread rumors.

With such a division of labor, no matter who was captured? He could not find any other clues. He could be considered a meticulous and dangerous enemy.

When Su Qing left the Zhang Residence, she heard an explosion. The sound came from the city’s east, and thick smoke billowed. Su Qing’s expression changed drastically. She thought of her parent’s house, and she got on her horse and ordered sternly,

“To the Grand Preceptor’s Residence.”

When Su Qing arrived at the Grand Preceptor’s Residence, the entrance was already surrounded. The one that had been blown up was the inner residence of the Grand Preceptor’s Residence. Black smoke was rising like a devil. Su Qing threw down her whip and flew up, passing through the crowd and landing at the entrance of the Grand Preceptor’s Residence.

“Master.”

“Where are my parents?” she asked Zhong Yong.

“Don’t worry, Master.”

Zhong Yong winked at Su Qing. It was very comical for the blockhead to do this, but Su Qing was instantly relieved.

“After I came, I asked master grandpa and master grandma to bring little master to the guest room in the front yard.”

Zhong Yong might have looked crude, but he was meticulous. When he heard that the guards had asked him to send troops to protect the Grand Preceptor’s Residence, he had asked Su Hanxuan and Yang Ruxue to move to the front yard. He had thought that it would be easy to protect them, or the soldiers would not be able to go to the backyard. He did not expect to save the entire Su family.

“Well done.”

Su Qing praised Zhong Yong and hurried into the courtyard. She wanted to see what kind of explosives had blown up the Grand Preceptor’s residence.

Gunpowder was an unbeatable weapon in her hands, but it was a threat in the hands of the enemy.

Su Hanxuan stood in the courtyard and watched the fire in the back of the house. He commanded the servants to put out the fire. He felt a lingering fear in his heart. If he had not listened to Zhong Yong’s suggestion and moved to the front yard, his family would have been buried in the sea of fire.

“Father.”

“Qing ’er!” Su Qing saw her father calling out to her. Su Hanxuan heard his daughter’s voice and turned around excitedly.

“Qing’ er, I thought I would never see you again!”

“It’s alright now. Father, Mother, you, and younger brother can move into the palace for now.”

Su Qing suggested to her father that the palace was the safest place in the capital. Before the enemy was caught, she could not let her parents stay outside. If not, she would not be at ease.

“Alright.”

Su Hanxuan didn’t raise any objections. He didn’t want to be a burden to his daughter. Only when they were in the palace would his daughter be able to fight?

Su Qing looked solemnly at the mansion that was engulfed in flames. This was the first time she had encountered a great challenge since the founding of the Great Tang and the greatest crisis she had encountered since she transmigrated.

Xiao Zeyu heard the explosion in the palace and ordered his guards to check what was happening. When he heard that the Grand Preceptor’s Residence had been bombed, he didn’t even bother to remove his dragon robe before taking a carriage to the Grand Preceptor’s Residence.

On the way, he met a group of men in black. They were all holding samurai swords and dressed the same as the people he killed in Japan.

The guards and the killers were fighting. These Japanese killers could turn invisible, and once they turned invisible, the guards couldn’t find them.

Xiao Zeyu had fought with these people before and knew how to crack it. He took out the pistol Su Qing gave him and shot the man in black. Every time the man in black was invisible, he would be hit by a bullet and reveal his tracks. The guards quickly subdued them.

Seeing that the assassination failed, these people committed suicide by biting the poison. Only one black-clothed man who was knocked unconscious did not have time to bite the poison and commit suicide, leaving him alive.

Xiao Zeyu rushed to the Grand Preceptor’s Residence while Su Qing brought her parents and younger brother back to the palace. The two met on the way.

“Qing’ er.”

Xiao Zeyu saw Su Qing and exited the carriage in a hurry. As he was about to talk about the explosion, he saw his in-laws. His worried heart immediately calmed down.

“Father-in-law, mother-in-law, it’s good that you’re fine.”

“Let’s return to the palace first.”

Su Qing told Xiao Zeyu that it was hazardous to travel like this.

Su Qing suddenly had a bad feeling as the carriages headed back. This feeling of danger had saved her many times, so she trusted her intuition very much.

“Danger alert, danger alert.”

The system’s voice suddenly sounded sharp and ear-piercing.

“What happened?”

Su Qing asked the system, and the system replied, [The system detected a bomb.]

“Shuisheng, take my parents and retreat.” Su Qing ordered the convoy to stop.

“What happened?”

Xiao Zeyu asked Su Qing. Su Qing didn’t tell him that there was a bomb.

“I need to check it,” she said.

Xiao Zeyu ordered his men to protect Su Hanxuan’s family. He stood beside Su Qing and said,

“We’ll face the same difficulties together as husband and wife.”

“Alright.”

Su Qing nodded. As the two of them were talking, two men in black suddenly appeared from the roof on the left. They threw two grenades at the ground before Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu.

Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu flew up simultaneously, each kicking the grenade back. The grenade exploded in mid-air, and the guards immediately flew up to the roof to fight with the killers.

Su Qing looked at the ground carefully. This road was made of bluestone. There was fresh soil in the cracks of the bluestone. It looked like someone had moved it.

Su Qing didn’t want the guards to die in vain, so she ordered everyone to retreat. She took out a grenade and threw it on the ground. Explosions sounded one after another, and the bombs buried along the road were all detonated.

Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu looked at the smoke before them with a dark expression. The enemy had used this chain of attacks.

Xiao Zeyu was loyal and would go to the Grand Preceptor’s residence. These assassins were just a cover. It was good if the assassination was successful, but it didn’t matter if it wasn’t. The bombs they had planted along the way were their final trump card.

Xiao Zeyu looked at the thick smoke before him, his eyes as sharp as a sword. He slowly said to Su Qing,

“Qing ‘ er, why don’t we beat him at his own game?”
