Liu Xing and Liu Shi, with their extensive experience, began searching the bodies of the assassins. The only assassin present, upon seeing this, opened his eyes wide in fury and began to writhe desperately once more.
Before long, a pile of tattered clothes and a heap of white corpses appeared in the courtyard, and the men in black finally revealed their true identities.
The assassin tried to escape, but the two men gave him no chance to resist. Almost instantly, they stripped him naked, leaving him only in his underwear.
The man, lying sprawled on his back, looked at his dead compatriots and shed tears of remorse.
He's a human being, a man. How could you strip him naked? Doesn't he have any dignity? This is an absolute humiliation!
But that's not the worst part.
One of them chuckled, raised his sword, and brought it down three inches below the man's navel, his voice cold:
"Speak, who sent you?"
Liu Xing, who was standing to the side, first checked his molars and the gaps between his teeth. After confirming that there was no poison in them, he straightened his jaw.
The man wanted to cry but had no tears left: He really didn't want to die as a eunuch!
But, “It’s the rule of the underworld, I can’t tell you,” he spat out suddenly, “Go ahead and kill me if you dare, I’d rather die than tell you.”
He wanted to escape, but if he didn't even uphold basic morality, wouldn't he have wasted his time in the martial world?
"Take him away and lock him in the water dungeon." Suddenly, Wen Shaoxing's voice rang out again from inside the room, "And while you're at it, send all those people on the ground to that little emperor in the palace."
Do you really think he won't know if you don't tell him?
However, having only held power for a short time, he couldn't wait to get rid of the regent. Should we praise his wisdom or condemn his foolishness?
Upon hearing this, Liu Shi and Liu Xing were both stunned for a moment, then came to their senses and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
Belatedly realizing what was happening, Yan Li quickly bent down. Just as she was about to join the two-person corpse-moving team, the person inside the house spoke again, his voice carrying a hint of resentment.
"Yan Li, come in."
What is he complaining about?
Yan Li's mind went blank for a moment, then she looked up at the closed door: No, she hasn't even complained yet, so what is he complaining about?
But in the end, she didn't have the courage to ask.
Yan Li glanced at the two people beside her, hoping one of them would stop her, only to find that the two had already left the scene carrying a corpse.
She couldn't help but sigh, wondering if she had said anything wrong that might have angered Wen Shaoxing.
But no matter how much I thought about it, I still couldn't come up with a single clue.
Just as Yan Li approached the door, a hand suddenly reached out from the room, accurately grabbed her neck, pulled her inside, and pinned her against the door.
The moment she was choked, Yan Li instinctively used both hands and feet to pull at the hand that was choking her throat, and kicked at his groin, trying to break free.
However, her moves were not enough to impress Wen Shaoxing.
In the blink of an eye, he moved slightly, pulling the hand gripping Yan Li's neck towards himself with a slight force, while his other hand seized her wrist and gripped it tightly, causing the sword to fall to the ground with a thud.
Then, turn around.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Li felt a pain in her knee.
By the time she realized what was happening, Wen Shaoxing had already forced her to kneel on one knee.
What just happened?
"Your Highness, have I done something wrong?"
Yan Li was still somewhat bewildered. Her counterattack was entirely instinctive. Now that Wen Shaoxing had captured her, her heart began to race.
No wonder he needed her to protect his own life as well. With his skills, he didn't need her protection at all. The only exception was when he blocked a sword last time.
A hint of ferocity flashed in Wen Shaoxing's eyes. His deep, cold voice was like ice water, devoid of any warmth, as he stared at Yan Li, who was pinned to the ground:
"Don't you know what you've done?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Li was: ? ? ?
All she did was keep watch for him and help him eliminate a group of assassins.
Even if you don't want to pay her a commission, there's no need to pick a fight with her.
"Please enlighten me, Your Highness. I have been guarding outside the room all day and I really do not know what Your Highness is referring to." Yan Li frowned slightly, expressing his doubts in a way that was just right, while also being somewhat cautious.
Upon hearing this, Wen Shaoxing grabbed her by the back of the neck, lifted her up again, sneered, and asked as he moved away, "What did you do to Xiao Hei? Do you really think I didn't notice?"
