The two chatted with Shen Hong almost before they were ready to leave.

Jin Zhao asked Shen Li to explore the way out first. After all, the two of them had too big a target to be discovered, so he opened the door and called the girl in.

Seeing Shen Hong wake up, the girl was too shocked to speak.

Shen Li left the Chongwen Hall first, and found a corner to wait. He hadn't seen that person come out for a long time, and felt a little uneasy. He was about to turn around and return, but his shoulder was held down.

Shen Li's body froze, he didn't move, his head was lowered, and the cap of the cloak covered most of his face.

"who?"

Shen Li was silent for a long time, if he spoke, he would definitely reveal his identity...

Seeing that he didn't respond, the man felt more and more strange, and pressed his shoulder even tighter, but slowly moved his other hand to his waist, trying to draw the sword at his waist.

Until the saber reached his lower back.

Shen Li took a deep breath, and was about to draw the dagger out of his sleeve, when he heard a playful voice from behind, "This general, why are you holding on to my man?"

The man turned around holding the sword, and looked at the person in front of him sharply.

"You are... General Cui?"

Jin Zhao, who rushed over without covering his face, went straight to Shen Li's side and put his arms around his waist, surprisingly he didn't refuse.

"This general knows me?" Jin Zhao asked back.

The man replied: "General Cui's reputation, of course I have heard of it."

"You are?"

"I'm Cao Jin, deputy general of the Imperial Forest Army."

Cao Jin...

This surname is somewhat familiar.

When the person next to him heard the name, he couldn't help but tense up.

Cao Jin's eyes seemed to be fixed on Shen Li's body, and doubts could not be concealed in his eyes.

Jin Zhao naturally noticed it, nodded and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, we still have something to do, so let's go first."

As he said that, he held Shen Li's waist tightly, and was about to turn around and leave, but Shen Li did not break free rarely.

But as soon as they turned around, several soldiers stood in front of them.

The two stopped, and Jin Zhao looked at Cao Jin and asked, "General Cao, what does this mean?"

Cao Jin walked over with strides, and said with a serious expression: "The Chongwen Hall has been infiltrated with assassins just now, and I was ordered to investigate. I also asked General Cui to cooperate with the investigation. The humble job is also easy to deal with."

Jin Zhao asked calmly, "What does General Cao want to investigate?"

Cao Jin directly shifted his gaze to Shen Li, "General Cui asked the question knowingly, you know what humble position means."

"If you don't tell me, I really don't know." Jin Zhao said roguely.

"The person next to you... is acting suspiciously. Please show your true face for the humble officer to check." Cao Jin paused for a moment.She looks like a man, but if it is a woman... she is too tall, anyway... Weird.

But he did feel a chilly air from that person just now, it can't be fake, and the back... is really familiar.

Jin Zhao frowned and said, "Do you dare to investigate my people?"

Seeing that he changed his joke just now, and his expression suddenly became extremely menacing, Cao Jin was stunned, and said: "This is the duty of a humble job, please General Cui not to make it difficult."

"I made things difficult for you today, so what should you do?" Jin Zhao asked back.

As soon as the words fell, the palms around Shen Li's waist were firmly clamped by his hanging arms, signaling him not to say any more.

Cao Jin's face was neither humble nor overbearing, but his voice was low and said: "General Cui appeared here in the middle of the night, it is suspicious at all, the humble position is just to perform the duty, even if it is reported to the emperor, the humble position has something to say, finally ask General Cui again, ifIf you dare to refuse, the humble official will never show mercy."

Jin Zhao didn't bother to pay attention to him, he took Shen Li and turned around to go out, but the man immediately chased him from behind.

Jin Zhao speeded up, trying to distance himself from those people, but unexpectedly, Cao Jin flew over directly, with his palm stretched straight behind Shen Li.

Jin Zhao flew up and confronted him, while Shen Li temporarily stood there without making a move.
