Chapter 158 Theft

Xiao Che couldn't believe it, "Your martial arts skills are actually this high!"

Qin Jinzhi was covered in blood. She approached Xiao Che and said, "I really didn't expect that you coward would have the guts to kill me in the street."

Xiao Che stumbled backward, yelling, "You, you stay away!"

Qin Jinzhi pinned the sword directly to his foot.

"ah!!!"

Qin Jinzhi squatted down to be at eye level with him. "Is this to avenge your friend, or to get rid of me for your good brother? Fifteenth Uncle, you still have a kind heart."

Xiao Che clutched his foot and wailed, while Qin Jinzhi looked like a demon who had just crawled out of hell.

Qin Jinzhi drew her sword. "I also want to see what this kind of warm-hearted person is really like."

Xiao Che looked at her in disbelief, "I am a prince! Qin Jinzhi, if you kill me, my father will not let you off! Your Qin family cannot protect you either!"

Qin Jinzhi grinned, but her beautiful face showed no sign of affection.

"Then let Fifteenth Uncle test what the consequences would be if his niece killed the prince."

Qin Jinzhi raised her hand and plunged the sword into his stomach.

She stomped her foot firmly on Xiao Che's chest.

"Fifteenth Uncle, do you know what it feels like to have your intestines ripped out and your stomach torn apart?"

Blood trickled from Xiao Che's mouth as he pointed at Qin Jinzhi, shouting, "I'll haunt you even as a ghost! You'll suffer a terrible death!"

Qin Jinzhi laughed out loud, the sword in her hand spinning inside Xiao Che's stomach.

"Thank you for your kind words."

Xiao Che died in extreme agony, his eyes wide open as he stared at Qin Jinzhi.

Qin Jinzhi watched as he drew his sword without moving.

Walking to the window, Yun Que and Yun Jin had already subdued the two men.

Qin Jinzhi leaped downstairs.

She casually wiped the blood off her face.

He walked up to one of them and said, "You're the guard who went to Hechun Terrace with Xiao Che last time."

One of the female assassins was Qiwen.

Qiwen hadn't expected that this princess would have so many experts around her, and not only that.

Her skills were no less than those of the two men.

Qin Jinzhi squatted down in front of her and reached out her blood-covered hand to pinch her face.

He then smiled and said, "You are Xiao Yin's man."

Qiwen immediately looked down at the ground.

Qin Jinzhi pierced her stomach with a sword.

Blood immediately flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Qin Jinzhi drew her sword, smiled at her, and said, "Go tell Xiao Yin to wait for me to take his head."

Qiwen clutched her stomach and stared at her in disbelief.

Qin Jinzhi tilted her head. "Don't want to leave?"

Qiwen immediately took off running away.

Qin Jinzhi glanced at the other assassin and said, "Then the assassin who tried to kill the Fifteenth Prince can only be you."

Before the assassin could speak, Yun Que slit his throat.

Qin Jinzhi walked to the carriage and knocked on it. "Is everything alright?"

Liu Yiyi crawled out from the corner this time.

"I'm fine, are you guys alright?"

Qin Jinzhi pulled the bow and arrow nailed to the carriage.

Their carriages at the Prince of Zhenbei's residence were custom-made.

Ordinary arrows cannot penetrate it.

This arrow is made of fine iron.

Liu Yiyi asked, "Should we go back to the mansion now or report to the authorities?"

Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Of course, I'll go to the palace."

The emperor panicked when he saw Qin Jinzhi covered in blood.

"What happened? Where are you hurt?!"

Qin Jinzhi simply threw the arrowhead made of refined iron onto the ground.

"Today on Yong'an Street, Xiao Che attempted to assassinate me in the street. After being exposed, he was silenced by the assassins around him."

The emperor's face immediately darkened.

He looked at the arrowhead made of fine iron.

Xiao Che was actually colluding with the Ministry of War.

He was just an unfavored prince, yet he dared to collude with the Ministry of War.

Or perhaps, it wasn't him who colluded with the Ministry of War at all.

Qin Jinzhi looked at the emperor and said, "Grandfather, I'm about to make my move. You can protect him or stop me. If I lose, I will suffer the same fate as Xiao Che today. If he loses, he will die a more miserable death than Xiao Che."

He taught Qin Jinzhi that one must never be soft-hearted towards the enemy.

She's doing very well now.

The wolf cub has grown up and is no longer afraid of the wolf king.

Qin Jinzhi's words sounded more like a declaration of war.

Let's see if he can save Xiao Yin.

The emperor stroked his beard and laughed, "Then let your grandfather see your skills."

He had already made his choice when he went to the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion.

He will not interfere in the struggle with Xiao Yin.

He also wanted to see how the wolf cubs he had personally trained would catch their prey.

Seeing the smile in the emperor's eyes, Qin Jinzhi's own eyes revealed a determined look.

Xiao Che, such a fool, born into royalty, how could he possibly believe in so-called father-son affection?

Apart from the crown prince, only the sons that the monarch truly cherishes can be called sons.

The rest are chess pieces.

The emperor wanted to protect Xiao Yin because Xiao Yin was valuable.

His shrewdness made the emperor appreciate his talent.

She killed Xiao Che, and the emperor knew it perfectly well.

But the emperor didn't care at all.

These people were dispensable to the emperor.

After all, a new world requires the deaths of many, many people.

To them, these people were insignificant.

Only useful people can survive in this world.

Fools can only die in one vortex after another.

They were victims, victims that no one will remember.

The Second Prince's Residence.

When Qiwen arrived at the Second Prince's residence, she was already on the verge of death.

She clutched her wound and held on to her last breath to see Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin was shocked, "Qiwen, who hurt you!"

He pulled Qiwen into his arms.

Qiwen, clutching her wound, said, "Your Highness, Qin Jinzhi killed the Fifteenth Prince, and all the assassins are dead. She also asked me to tell you to wait for her to come and take your head!"

Xiao Yin's face darkened. "You mean Qin Jinzhi killed Xiao Che?"

Qiwen nodded painfully, "Her martial arts are superior to mine! The assassin couldn't do anything to her!"

Xiao Yin quickly said, "I'll find someone to treat your injuries right away!"

Qiwen grabbed his hand, "Your Highness, be careful of Qin Jinzhi!"

She is an assassin with an instinctive reaction to danger.

Qin Jinzhi gave her a completely terrifying feeling!

Xiao Yin guessed that Xiao Che might target Qin Jinzhi when he thought of Xiao Che coming to borrow people from him.

I never expected that Qin Jinzhi would dare to kill a prince!

She knew from the beginning that he was behind Xiao Che.

Take his head?

Alright, let's see who comes out on top!

He quickly left the study.

But no one noticed a figure sneaking inside.

Qin Jinzhi did not return to the Empress's palace, fearing that the blood on her body would frighten her.

Instead, he left the palace directly.

At the entrance of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, she met the Second Prince's wife.

"Princess!"

The Second Prince's Consort was dressed in coarse clothes and seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time.

What's going on here?

The Second Prince's wife said anxiously, "Princess, may I come into the manor for a chat?"

Qin Jinzhi led the Second Prince's wife into the mansion.

The Second Prince's wife handed over a token.

"This is?"

"This was hidden in the Second Prince's study. I stole it when he wasn't there!"
