REINCARNATION: TRAPPED IN THE WRONG BODY
CHAPTER 57. Return to General Zhong Guo's residence
***Front room of Taoist Temple***
A Chen, who is conducting a direct investigation into the body of the horseman, also found dozens of bodies of hired killers.
How could a blind young man be the target of a hit man? A Chen knew Zhong Li was previously the future son-in-law of Emperor Wang and was replaced by Zhong Min, Zhong Li's half-brother.
Moreover only Ming Lan and Zhong Min knew of Zhong Li's route to the Taoist Temple so A Chen suspected Ming Lan and Zhong Min of hiring assassins to kill Zhong Li.
A Chen's suspicions could only be stored in his heart and he could do nothing about it. In the near future Zhong Min will become Emperor Wang's son-in-law so that the case will be closed without any settlement.
What A Chen was most afraid of was Princess Jing Mi insisting on finding the mastermind who hired the assassins to kill Zhong Li and that it would further complicate the matter.
A Chen glanced at Princess Jing Mi who was sitting quietly without making the slightest sound.
Before interrogating the servants of Zhong Li, A Chen had already interrogated the four Taoist priests living in the Taoist Temple. That was why A Jun could enter the guest room to bring King out because he had already finished answering A Chen's question.
From the interrogation of the four Taoist priests, A Chen knew Princess Jing Mi arrived at the Taoist Temple on the same day as Zhong Li and his servants, just a few hours apart. Princess Jing Mi arrives by day and Zhong Li by night.

"Daughter of Jing Mi! The horse to return to the capital is already there," said A Tai who walked inside the front room of the Taoist Temple.
Ming Lan smiled broadly upon hearing A Tai's words. Of all the people who were in the front room at the moment, Ming Lan was only afraid of Princess Jing Mi so Ming Lan was overjoyed when she found out Princess Jing Mi was going home to the capital now.
"Thank you Princess Jing Mi who already protected Zhong Li here. Now it was me and Zhong Min who were guarding Zhong Li. Princess Jing Mi can calmly leave the Taoist Temple to return to the capital" Ming Lan said.
Princess Jing Mi just kept quiet and did not answer Ming Lan's words. The wall-faced Ming Lan did not mind herself being ignored by Princess Jing Mi.
Ming Lan walked up to King and patted the back of King's hand gently, as if she was a mother who was very dear to her son.
"Zhong Li's! I know you are still traumatized so dare not return to the residence of General Zhong Guo.Mother and Zhong Min will accompany you to stay at the Taoist Temple tonight. Tomorrow morning we go home together," Ming Lan said.
"Basar old bangka! There must be another evil plan!" king's heart spontaneously.
The King's guess was very true because Ming Lan intended to send more assassins to finish off the King and his servants as well as to the four Taoist priests living in the Taoist Temple. Even if it could this Taoist Temple would be burnt to the point that there was nothing left.
"Mrs Ming Lan. It just so happens that me and some of the soldiers are here now. We can escort young master Zhong Li back to General Zhong Guo's residence now" A Chen said.
"Well, Princess Jing Mi!" answer Hercules and Xena at the same time.
"Damn!" said Ming Lan.
Ming Lan could only hold some resentment in her heart as it was impossible for her to refute Princess Jing Mi's words.
A short while later, the horse carriage that Ming Lan and Zhong Min rode to the Taoist Temple became full as four people grew inside, while Princess Jing Mi, A Chen, became full, and the other soldiers followed the chariot from behind on horseback.
***General Zhong Guo's residence***
The carriage arrived in front of General Zhong Guo's residence safely. Hercules led King down from the chariot.
A Chen and the other soldiers had already said goodbye, while Princess Jing Mi was still sitting on her horse.
Ming Lan walked over to Princess Jing Mi to thank her.
"Zhong Li's! Every time you step out of General Zhong Guo's residence, put on my battle robe." Princess Jing Mi purposely spoke in a loud and firm voice for Ming Lan and Zhong Min to hear her clearly.
After leaving a message to Zhong Li aka King, Princess Jing Mi flapped her legs onto the horse so hard that the horse she was riding on dashed swiftly leaving the residence of General Zhong Guo.
