Chapter 1054
Indicating that she was not in pain, and telling Luo Jusheng not to worry.
"You have done this for me, how can I let you suffer this disaster alone."
Luo Jusheng did not hesitate anymore and actually stepped forward, grabbing the other part of the flower stem.
As soon as he grabbed it, the speed at which the stamen bloomed actually accelerated a lot.
"Good, good, good!"
Cao Zhengchun was extremely happy and said the word 'good' three times,
"Jusheng, Luo Heshi, you must come back safely.
After this matter is over, I will risk this old face and go to the Emperor to ask for a title for you."
A title was a reward from the Emperor, which was extremely glorious in the Great Ming.
Generally, those who were not meritorious officials could not receive the reward of a title.
Luo Jusheng and Luo Heshi looked glorious, but they were ultimately just guests of the Eastern Depot.
Strictly speaking, they were just slaves of the Emperor's family.
Now that Cao Zhengchun promised them a title, he was truly risking it all.
But how could Luo Jusheng and Luo Heshi listen to this.
At this moment, they only felt their true essence being continuously extracted from their bodies and injected into the flower bud in front of them.
About the time of a stick of incense, the two trembled all over, and their true essence was squeezed dry.
Subsequently, their whole bodies went limp, and they collapsed backward.
Cao Zhengchun saw this and was preparing to reach out to catch these two loyal subordinates.
Unexpectedly, a strange fragrance wafted towards them, and in an instant, it filled this entire stone hall.
I saw that on the stone platform behind the strange person, that flower bud that had never bloomed finally reached the critical value and bloomed directly.
In that stamen, there was indeed a strange cardamom.
This was the third Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom that countless people had been searching for!
It was also the last one among the Green Dragon Society's mission targets!
"Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom! The third Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom!"
Seeing this, Cao Zhengchun could no longer care about catching Luo Jusheng and Luo Heshi.
Looking greedily at the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom, he immediately unfolded his light movement technique and reached out to scoop it from the stamen.
"Ah... Superintendent, be careful..."
Just when Cao Zhengchun was about to succeed and get the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom in the stamen.
Suddenly, the experts behind him shouted desperately.
Cao Zhengchun's mind was attracted by this Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom, so how could he think of any danger at this moment.
Before he could react, he felt a sharp claw pierce his official uniform and then scratch towards his heart.
"Presumptuous!"
At the critical moment, Cao Zhengchun could no longer care about getting the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom.
He rapidly gathered his Tiangang Child Art, and an invisible gang energy formed rapidly.
Not only did it form a gang energy shield on his body.
But it also formed one at his heart.
With this, the attacking sharp claw naturally could not succeed.
With a clang, it broke directly not far from Cao Zhengchun's heart.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the attacker did not continue to assassinate Cao Zhengchun.
Instead, he unfolded his movement technique, took advantage of the gap to bypass Cao Zhengchun, reached out, and grabbed the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom from the stamen.
At this time, Cao Zhengchun finally saw clearly.
The one who attacked him was none other than the Eastern Depot Great File Head, one of his confidants—Iron Claw Flying Eagle.
"Are you crazy? You dare to attack this Superintendent; don't you know this is a capital crime?"
Cao Zhengchun used his divine art to shake out the broken claw of Iron Claw Flying Eagle in his body, and then rapidly tapped his own acupoints to stabilize his injuries.
Only then did he have the time to stare fiercely at Iron Claw Flying Eagle and question him.
Iron Claw Flying Eagle no longer had his previous wretched appearance, but instead had a look of righteousness.
Holding the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom in one hand, he gripped it tightly in his palm.
The other hand was placed in front of him, watching Cao Zhengchun with caution.
Hearing his inquiry, Iron Claw Flying Eagle could not help but spit and said disdainfully,
"Eunuch dog, do you really think I am a dog for you?
I have long wished to kill you, eat your flesh, drink your blood, and sleep on your skin!
A eunuch dog like you, who commits treason and plots to subvert the empire, is not worthy of my loyalty!"
"Iron Claw Flying Eagle, you are truly seeking death..."
The remaining five Eastern Depot experts immediately jumped out and said.
"Enough!"
Cao Zhengchun waved his hand and coughed, signaling his subordinates not to be noisy.
Iron Claw Flying Eagle's sneak attack just now did not kill him, but it did hurt him.
"I am not worthy of your loyalty, so it seems you have someone else to be loyal to?
In this way, you are Zhu Tie-Dan's running dog?"
Cao Zhengchun was meticulous, and in just a few words, he had already guessed Iron Claw Flying Eagle's object of loyalty.
Correct!
Iron Claw Flying Eagle was indeed a secret agent arranged by Zhu Wushi beside Cao Zhengchun.
He had been lurking for a long time, and even opposed the Dragon-Protecting Villa everywhere.
All for the sake of sitting in this Great File Head position and maintaining the strictest monitoring of Cao Zhengchun.
Before Zhu Wushi gave the order, Iron Claw Flying Eagle could not expose his identity.
It was just that this time, this Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom was truly too important.
Iron Claw Flying Eagle knew best how much Zhu Wushi wanted the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom to save Suxin.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to disobey Zhu Wushi's order and suddenly took action in secret to obtain this Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom.
"Haha! You guessed it, so what..."
Iron Claw Flying Eagle, once restored to his true self, immediately stopped pretending.
Seeing Cao Zhengchun furious and even coughing up a bit of blood, he could not help but feel great relief.
Just as he was preparing to say something, unexpectedly, a strange sign suddenly appeared all over his body.
It turned out that for some reason, his feet actually turned into a pile of powder and dissipated.
With his feet gone, how could Iron Claw Flying Eagle stand steady, and he fell directly to the ground.
Before he could figure out the situation, his whole person turned directly into powder, hit the ground, and scattered.
Only the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom he held in his palm was still flickering in mid-air.
"This, this, this... what kind of sorcery is this?"
Seeing this, the five great experts behind Cao Zhengchun could not help but be inexplicably shocked.
Iron Claw Flying Eagle's death was truly eerie and evil, far exceeding the knowledge of these Eastern Depot experts.
Plus that Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom, no one touched it, yet it could still float in mid-air.
In the eyes of normal people, was this not sorcery?
Cao Zhengchun was also shocked in his heart, not knowing what had happened.
But his cultivation was far higher than the five great experts, and he knew that no one had secretly attacked Iron Claw Flying Eagle.
Therefore, Iron Claw Flying Eagle's strange death could only be caused by this Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom.
It was just that for how many years had that Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom in Shaolin been enshrined in the Dharma Hall?
Never heard of it being so eerie!
Plus, later Zhou Zhiruo broke into the Dharma Hall, and it was said that she swallowed that Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom, and there were no sequelae!
How could this third Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom be so eerie?
