Each leader of the martial arts alliance has a jade pendant that symbolizes their status.

Speaking of this, Shen Jiao glanced at the jade pendant hanging at her waist, which was the symbol of the leader of the martial arts alliance. The tyrant had put it on her this morning when she woke up.

Previously, the servant couldn't see because of the cloak, and besides, one shouldn't stare at a young lady's waist so casually.

That's insane!

Right now, the twists and turns of fate are crystal clear, and it is precisely because they are so clear that the servant's scalp is tingling.

You should know that small, shadowy organizations like theirs are not qualified to see the face of the martial arts alliance leader.

Now that they've finally bumped into each other, he's not happy at all; in fact, he feels like crying.

Not only did the servant want to cry, but everyone else was also struck as if by lightning, their already trembling bodies shaking even more violently.

Oh no!

After finally wiping away my snot and mustering up the courage to take on a big order, I ended up kicking such a tough nut to crack?

This is like bad luck opening the door for bad luck itself; bad luck has reached its peak.

Everyone felt utterly hopeless. Someone murmured, "Why? Why is someone not only the leader of the martial arts alliance but also the mother of a nation?"

Shen Jiao answered seriously: "Because you have been praying to Buddha for thousands of years."

"..."

"Alliance Leader, please have mercy on us! You've destroyed our meridians, we're destined to be crippled for life. Please, spare our worthless lives!" The servant, realizing the situation was dire, stubbornly got up and kowtowed.

The others also wanted to try it.

Unfortunately, they were powerless to get up; they lay on the ground as if their souls had left their bodies.

It's absolutely impossible.

Shen Jiao didn't agree, but instead asked, "I'm curious about something."

The servant fawned, "Alliance Leader, please ask. I will answer everything I know, without reservation, and with great enthusiasm..."

"Stop, stop!" Shen Jiao raised her hand to stop them. "I want to ask, aren't you afraid of the tyrant?"

"Afraid? Who in the world isn't afraid? Anyone who says they aren't is just being stubborn."

The servant smiled sheepishly again: "Of course, of course, the Alliance Leader is different from us common folk. You are highly skilled and daring."

Shen Jiao scoffed, "Stop flattering me. If you're so afraid, why did you dare to assassinate the Empress?"

"This..." The servant looked troubled. "I don't want to either, but she gave me too much."

He regarded money as dirt.

But he deceived me with filth!

"..." Shen Jiao remained silent for a moment, then seized on the key point and asked, "Who is she?"

Servant: "Sun Mengyao."

Strictly speaking, people in their line of work are not allowed to disclose their employers' information; it's a matter of professional ethics.

But the servant was not a suicide soldier, and his life was about to be in danger, so he couldn't care less about these things.

What is integrity?

Is it edible?

If you can't do it, then change your principles.

The servant bowed and scraped, answering every question.

However, what was unexpected was that one of the burly men lying on the ground was an extremely principled killer, like him—

You only fart when you take your pants off; you don't fart if you don't take your pants off!

Seeing the servant's obsequious face, the burly man could no longer bear such unprincipled words and actions.

He raised his index finger tremblingly, a lump of anger stuck in his chest, and he choked to death.

Xi'an immediately reminded her, "Your Majesty, another one has died."

Shen Jiao raised four fingers and announced loudly, "Everyone, good news! Now you can choose one of the four."

Everyone: "..." This is not good news.

After saying that, she asked the servant, "Does Sun Mengyao want my life?"

That's outrageous!

"No, no, no," the servant shook his head. "She only wants your hands."

Shen Jiao narrowed her eyes, her anger rising rapidly: "Your attack was a killing move."

If she hadn't noticed something was wrong and taken precautions in advance, it wouldn't have been easy to hide in such a confined space as the carriage.

The servant said with a mournful face, "Alliance Leader, please calm down. I'm not talking nonsense. Sun Mengyao initially only wanted your hands. Then, another person came and wanted your life. Think about it, whether you do one business or two, it's still the same. So I took it all."

Buy one, get two free – what a great deal!

Shen Jiao: "..."

Assassinating the mother of a nation is extremely difficult, but as a person, you have to face challenges head-on!

They observed that Shen Jiao never brought guards with her when she went out. This habit was very down-to-earth, but it was very unsafe. However, the tyrant was always with her, and he was not an easy person to deal with.

Unexpectedly, the tyrannical henpecked husband was not at Yanjiang Terrace today. Seizing the opportunity, they immediately prepared to act and set off.

Who knew that this empress was also a formidable opponent!

The servant was filled with remorse.

He had never seen such a formidable fighting couple!

When did she make so many enemies? Isn't this Ji Yan's scene? Shen Jiao was speechless, thinking to herself, what kind of hellish life is this?

Her tone was displeased: "Then who's the one who's going to kill me?"

"I don't know," the servant said humbly. "The person who came was wearing a veil, so we couldn't see clearly. The leader knows that we servants in this line of work are paid to do things. Who cares who the employer is? As long as we get paid, that's all that matters."

"Is it a man or a woman?" Shen Jiao glanced at the sky. It was getting late; it was time to eat.

The servant replied, "Female."

How tall?

"I'm probably half a head shorter than you."

Shen Jiao asked seriously, "Am I prettier than you?"

"They all say we can't see his face!" the servant thought to himself, but he kept babbling aloud, "No, no, the Alliance Leader is the most handsome!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiao didn't need to think at all; a name immediately came to mind—

Silent words.
