Disguised as a man, she became the biggest villain in the book.

Chapter 145 There are so many people who want my life!

"A martial arts figure?" He Jinyu frowned, lowered his head and muttered to himself in thought.

"Since when did martial arts figures have to get involved in court disputes? Judging from their conversation, someone must want to kill you, sir, but I don't know which organization it is!" He Jinyu analyzed.

"There are just too many people who want to kill you, and for a while, no one knows who hired the killer!" Zi Sang added.

"Do you know of any martial arts masters who are a combination of two men and two women?" Zheng Luoqi asked.

"My lord, I have only heard a little about the affairs of the martial world. I have never heard of an organization composed of two men and two women. It is very likely that the other members of their group are just helpers recruited by one of them!" Zi Sang replied respectfully.

“My lord, when I was investigating the affairs of the previous dynasty, I heard a little about the affairs of the martial arts world, but I didn’t know much. I only knew that they seemed to have an organization that puts up bounty lists.”

“Many people would buy assassin services through that organization. After paying a certain deposit, the organization would post the specific information of the person to be killed on the bounty poster. Some people in the underworld would choose to go there to find some killing bounty jobs in order to make a living,” Boyu said, as if he remembered something.

"Bounty hunters? I never expected that even martial arts figures would want my head! Tsk tsk tsk!" Zheng Luoqi was truly speechless. It seemed that everyone wanted to kill him.

Zheng Luoqi shook her head and sighed, while secretly thinking to herself: she had too many enemies, and she really couldn't think of who they were for the moment, yet she felt that anyone could be one of them.

Thinking of this, Zheng Luoqi couldn't help but frown.

Just then, Zheng Luoqi suddenly remembered something. He remembered that a martial arts master had recently come to Ye Churan's residence.

Could it be Ye Churan? Zheng Luoqi wondered to herself.

While Zheng Luoqi was still pondering, she was suddenly interrupted by shouts from outside the house: "Brother Le, Brother Le! Are you home?"

All that could be heard outside was a woman shouting and banging on the door repeatedly, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The woman's voice was somewhat hurried: "Brother Le, Brother Le, are you home?"

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Zheng Luoqi's eyes flashed with a hint of wariness, but she quickly regained her composure.

Zheng Luoqi turned to look at Boyu beside her and gestured with her eyes for him to go open the door.

Boyu nodded, then quickly walked to the door. He listened carefully as he approached the door. Zisang and He Jinyu also slowly walked to the sides of the door and cautiously drew their swords.

Zheng Luoqi also drew her sword, ready to defend herself, her eyes narrowed as she warily looked towards the door.

The group exchanged glances, and Boyu slowly opened the door. What came into view was a pretty girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a light blue dress, the hem of which swayed gently, giving her a fresh and refined look.

The woman seemed a little surprised to see the door open, and before she could finish speaking, she said, "Brother Le, if you were home, why didn't you...?"

When the woman saw that the person who opened the door wasn't Brother Le, she stopped talking abruptly, staring blankly at Boyu. After a moment, she looked at Boyu warily and asked, "Who are you?"

Seeing that the person who came was a young girl, who was not carrying any weapons and was dressed like an ordinary person, and whose demeanor and tone were normal, Zheng Luoqi sheathed her sword and said to the girl outside the door, "We are Brother Le's friends!"

The girl relaxed slightly after hearing Zheng Luoqi's words, but still asked with some doubt, "What do you want with Brother Le?"

Zheng Luoqi smiled and explained, "We came to see Brother Le about something, and since we didn't know when he would be back, we waited at his house."

The girl nodded and said, "Oh, I see. I heard the noise and thought Brother Le was back so soon today!"

"Miss, is there something you need from Brother Le?" Zheng Luoqi asked with a smile as he looked at the girl.

"Oh, I thought Brother Le was back and I wanted him to come and see my mother again. My mother's leg problem has flared up again! But Brother Le isn't home right now, so I can only come over later!" the girl sighed helplessly.

"Girl, do you know when Brother Le will be back today?" Zheng Luoqi continued to ask.

"Aren't you Brother Le's friend? How come you don't know?" the woman asked Zheng Luoqi with a puzzled look.

"Well, it's like this, I haven't seen Brother Le for many years. I recently received a letter from him asking me to get together. I came here as soon as I received his letter, but it turns out Brother Le isn't home today. What a coincidence!" Zheng Luoqi said, feigning regret.

"I see. That's unfortunate. But to be honest, I don't know when Brother Le will be back either. We usually rely on luck to find him," the girl said with a sigh.

"Brother Le's medical skills are excellent, so wealthy families often invite him to go out and treat patients. He'll be gone for several days at a time, so it's not easy to run into him!" The girl shook her head helplessly, a hint of regret on her face.

"In that case, I won't wait here any longer when I come to see Brother Le next time." After saying that, Zheng Luoqi got up and left with Boyu and the others.

As the girl watched Zheng Luoqi and the others leave, she felt something was off about them...

night

Prime Minister's Mansion

As soon as Zheng Luoqi returned to the Prime Minister's residence, she immediately instructed Boyu to arrange for people to investigate the whereabouts of the group that attempted the assassination that day, the so-called list of wanted criminals in the martial arts world, and the organization behind it.

At this moment, Zheng Luoqi was sitting upright in the center of the study, looking at the letter that Yu Yifei had sent him requesting funding.

Looking at the amount on the bill, Zheng Luoqi thought to himself: This kid really dares to ask for an exorbitant amount. Oh well, I have enough money. Since he's capable, there's no need to be stingy.

Zheng Luoqi handed the letter to He Jinyu beside her and instructed, "Arrange for people to handle this matter immediately. Also, remember to tell Yu Yifei that if this money is lost, use his head as a sacrifice."

He Jinyu accepted the letter, nodded respectfully to indicate that he understood, and then withdrew.

Zheng Luoqi suddenly remembered that there was still the competition with Quan Yuyuan tomorrow.

Zheng Luoqi was quite looking forward to it and planned to teach that kid a good lesson tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Zheng Luoqi changed into a neat outfit, a standard riding and archery uniform. Zheng Luoqi was already tall, and wearing this outfit made her look even more heroic and energetic.

Zheng Luoqi and Zisang rode their horses quickly to the foot of Yunju Temple. Unexpectedly, Quan Yuyuan was already waiting for Zheng Luoqi there.
