Beauty and the Bodyguard

"We have already sent people to search for him. I am afraid that if someone informs them in advance, it will be difficult to find him now." Qinglong sneered slightly, but the implication was that he still pointed the suspicion towards Bai Hu.

"Qinglong, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't make insinuations. If you want to throw dirty water on me, you should at least have enough evidence before you say anything!" Bai Hu's momentum was not as strong as before, but he still didn't want to show weakness to Qinglong.

"What did I say? Is Elder Baihu a little too sensitive? Or is he a little weak in his heart?" Qinglong's lips curled up with a touch of sarcasm, and he continued to tit for tat with Baihu.

Baihu was furious. It would be fine if Suzaku mocked him. Who is Qinglong? He is just a puppet elder supported by Suzaku. No matter in terms of strength or qualifications, he is no match for Bai Hu. How dare he sneer at him?

"Okay, we are all a member of the cabinet elders, won't we be laughed at!" Suzaku shouted, interrupting the quarrel between the two that was about to escalate.

Among the entire spiritual beast clan, only Suzaku can suppress White Tiger. In addition, he was in full swing just now, so when he spoke, White Tiger could only swallow his anger for the time being and wait for the guards to come and confront him.

At this moment, a spirit beast guard hurried over, bowed to the four elders and clasped his fists: "Report to the elders, the colleagues who were on duty in that area have been found, but they were all silenced and no one survived! "

"What are you talking about?!" Bai Hu suddenly changed his expression. Although the people he sent to the palace were some children from side branches, they were indeed extremely outstanding masters and would become the pillars of his clan in the future.

The loss of one was enough for Bai Hu to feel distressed for a long time, not to mention the loss of at least seven or eight this time, which was almost like digging out his flesh with a knife!

"What a great job! You actually know how to kill people and silence them, and you will die without any evidence! Elder Baihu, this trick is really good!" Qinglong still had a mocking look on his face, mocking Bai Hu mercilessly.

Lin Yi immediately admired Qinglong. This guy's thoughts were changing really fast. After locking his target on the white tiger, his sword was deadly, and he could pull it on the white tiger no matter what.

The whole thing was quite clear at first, but now it is becoming more and more confusing. Lin Yi is not sure who is the main messenger behind the assassin, but if there are no accidents, it should be among the four elders.

"You fart! These are the elites of our clan. It's clear that you want to use a knife to kill people and frame the blame! I finally understand. Your plan is really good! Not only did you put the crime of assassinating the elders of the outer hall on me, but you also You easily got rid of the elite members of our clan! Kill two birds with one stone!" Bai Hu's eyes were wide open as he pointed his finger at Qinglong and roared.

If Suzaku hadn't been watching from the side, Baihu might have turned against him and started a full-scale martial arts showdown between the two cabinet elders!

"Okay! This matter is full of doubts. It takes time to investigate. Don't argue, both of you!" Suzaku waved his hand to stop the two of them. On the surface, it seemed fair, but in fact, everyone knew that he would definitely favor Qinglong!

Lin Yi watched with cold eyes, trying to analyze who among the four elders of the cabinet was the real mastermind. Unfortunately, they were all as cunning as foxes, and on the surface, there seemed to be no flaws at all.

When it comes to suspicion, all four of them do have suspicions, but upon closer inspection, they are all somewhat untenable. Life is like a drama, it all depends on acting skills. There is no doubt that these four old guys are all highly skilled in acting. Movie king level figure.

"Elder Lin, what happened today has shocked you. I will arrange for guards to escort you back and we will never let a similar situation happen again." Suzaku's face softened slightly and he showed a gentle smile to Lin Yi and Zheng Dongsheng.

Lin Yi curled his lips secretly, unsure whether Suzaku really felt guilty or just trying to hide it. In any case, he probably wouldn't be assassinated again on the way back.

"Then thank you very much, Elder Zhuque!" Lin Yi clasped his fists casually and thanked him politely.

"Elder Lin, don't worry, I will never let this matter go. In addition to giving you an explanation, the children of my clan who died in vain must also have an explanation! If there is any progress, I will be there as soon as possible. I'll notify you." Bai Hu slapped his chest hard, and after saying that, he glanced at Zhuque and Qinglong coldly, obviously trying to make Lin Yi think that the masterminds behind the scenes were Zhuque and the others.

"Elder Baihu is very considerate, and I also want to thank you again for the jade token that he lent me before. It's a pity that the king went into retreat before we arrived and was unable to meet him." Lin Yi smiled lightly, not disgusted with Baihu's show of kindness.

Although Bai Hu is also one of the suspects who assassinated Lin Yi and Zheng Dongsheng, Lin Yi doesn't care. As long as both parties' goals are Suzaku Qinglong, there is a possibility of cooperation. Before the alliance is officially formed, even if Bai Hu really wants to pass It doesn't matter if they assassinate Lin Yi and others to attack Suzaku. If Lin Yi were in his position, he might make the same decision.

Zheng Dongsheng forced out a smile that was uglier than crying. The four elders of the spirit beast clan would subconsciously ignore him when they spoke, but Lin Yi would never be ignored. To be honest, Zheng Dongsheng would not be ignored in this situation. I am quite happy to see him. It is definitely not a good thing for him, a small person with low strength, to be worried about by the four elders.

The problem is that when the assassination happened, the assassin clearly did not ignore Zheng Dongsheng's intention. It was indeed Lin Yi who resisted all the attacks, but the target of the attack was completely 50-50 different from Lin Yi, and he did not look down on him at all. .

"These are all trivial matters. Elder Lin is so polite!" Bai Hu laughed and talked to Lin Yi. He immediately put away his previous anger and returned to his cheerful and heroic appearance.

"Then let's say goodbye first!" Lin Yi clasped his fists again, and after saying goodbye to everyone one by one, he turned around and left with Zheng Dongsheng. This time, the two of them were protected by spiritual beast masters in front, back and left, and their specifications were obviously different.

However, Lin Yi also kept enough vigilance against these guards. Who knew whether they would steal the goods and suddenly launch a sneak attack? They seemed to know Lin Yi's thoughts, so they kept a sufficient distance, which at least made Lin Yi and Zheng Dongsheng feel relieved.

After Lin Yi and Zheng Dongsheng left, the faces of the four elders turned gloomy. They all tacitly agreed not to speak, and returned to the meeting hall to sit down together.

"If you want to investigate the assassin's matter, you can investigate it. Just report it after the investigation." Suzaku said calmly, dismissing the assassin's matter in an understatement.

Bai Hu smiled coldly, but did not object. In this incident, the people who died were all the elite disciples he sent to the palace. They must be investigated no matter what. It is superfluous to say anything now.
