The Qin Provincial Inspector was from the Gongsun Clan. He is only 20 years old as the current Clan Head. He passed the Zhuang Yuan Examination at the age of 13 and served the Crown Prince until his reign as the current Emperor.
There were many daughters of noble families who wanted to marry him. But the news is that he has never looked at any woman in an irritating way. He just did his job without paying attention to anyone. He was never afraid of any authority if that person committed a crime. Because he was at the emperor's side. In the royal court in this era, hardly anyone dared to make mistakes. The inspector's reputation is not based on rumors but on facts. There used to be a large noble family that murdered and raped many innocent village girls. Members of the family helped to hide the wrongdoing. Not only that They also killed a large number of bystanders without paying any attention to the rules. When His Majesty's order came down to the inspectors to sort out the matter, in less than three days, the entire family, counting three generations, had been completely wiped out. Blood was almost flowing out from the rain that fell that night. Since that day No one is not afraid of the inspector.
This time he received news that people were gathering forces to start a rebellion. The emperor issued secret orders for him to investigate. After a preliminary investigation, it was found that there was evidence So he hurriedly traveled to Nanzhou to find evidence. He has now been in Nanzhou for more than three days. Found only little evidence If he wanted to dig deeper, he would have to go undercover himself.
Nuo Lan had just arrived in Nanzhou before dinner. She hurriedly sent a signal to the Prince's informant to meet at the inn.
"There is news that inspectors will enter the city governor's palace tonight. You pretend to be a thief and find the thief then kill him. His Highness sent me orders shortly before you arrived."
"I know. I'll take care of it tonight."
After delivering the news, the man left her room. Nuo Lan called Xiao Er to order food. She had to eat quickly and get some rest before doing her mission tonight.
In the middle of the night at Nanzhou City Lord's Mansion
Gong Sun Jiu and his four confidants were all dressed tightly. They avoided the city lord's men patrolling the interior until they reached the city lord's residence. When he found that the light in the governor's bedroom had gone out They immediately went to the governor's library. Gong Sun Jiu ordered two of his men to watch the ramparts. He and the other two rushed into the room to search for evidence. While they were investigating the secret room.
Outside, Nuo Lan who had arrived at the City Lord's Mansion immediately went straight to the City Lord's study room. She knew that they would definitely find evidence there. And what she saw was as she had predicted. She hurriedly administered the anesthesia she had prepared to the person guarding the door first. Then he used his light body technique to rush in and support him so as not to make a loud noise.
Gongsun Jiu felt something unusual. He had such a high level of martial arts that it felt like there was someone other than them here. He hurriedly signaled his men to be careful. Not long after, someone rushed in from the door with a light sword. He couldn't see the person's face. But this person's martial arts were only slightly inferior to his.
Nuo Lan entered the room and saw three people. Without another word, she stabbed her sword towards the nearest person. Not even five moves had been fought before that person was injured. The other two saw that the gesture was not good and took action at the same time. Nuo Lan fought three against one until his hands were all tangled. She was struck by their sword not long after they fought. Nuo Lan noticed that the other two people seemed to be protecting one person. So she ignored the two of them, instead speeding up her sword song and immediately targeting the man.
Gong Sun Jiu, who had been fighting with his men, was able to understand this person's skill. He had received news that there was a skilled assassin who could kill a hundred people without making a mistake. He expected it to be this person. When they faced each other, he was not at all surprised that those people had to end their lives. This person kills people without fear of death. He aimed at his opponent's dead spot every time. Even though there was a sword in front of him, he couldn't avoid it. But instead, they went in only to kill.
Gong Sun Jiu signaled to his men not to block the way. Because now they have more injuries. As for that person, even though he was injured, he didn't show any signs of weakening. It will only become more brutal and angrier. He was afraid that his people would die first, so he rushed to take action himself.
When the two of them saw the master's signal So they made way for the two to fight. Gong Sun Jiu used the sword technique he had cultivated along with his strong profound energy. Less than ten moves Nuo Lan was covered with serious wounds. She didn't want to fail in her mission so she stubbornly continued fighting. Gong Sun Jiu was also hit by his opponent's sword, but his condition was not very serious. Seeing that the assassin still didn't give up, he used even more of his profound energy until it was full tenths.
Nuo Lan was struck by the last sword from Gongsun Jiu, which struck him in the side and through the back. But she still gritted her teeth and pulled out a knife from her hiding place to stab her target. Gong Sun Jiu saw a dagger fly into his chest. He hurriedly breathed in his free hand and slapped it towards the assassin's chest.
Nuo Lan was hit by the power of his palm and flew out of the library with blood gushing out of his mouth. Gong Sun Jiu and his men were about to follow and finish off the killers, but they heard the loud noises of people coming. Gong Sun Jiu had to order his men to carry the unconscious person and quickly flee.
As for Nua Lan who was seriously injured She failed in her mission and was injured. If she continued to stay in Nanzhou City, the inspector would definitely have a hard time ordering people to spread out carpets to search for her. Nuo Lan took out a blood-stopping medicine and sprinkled it casually and swallowed the internal healing medicine before hurriedly escaping.
Nuo Lan hurriedly left Nanzhou overnight. She kept the horse outside the city as usual when she accepted missions. After getting on the horse, she fainted.
