"Hold on, hero! I'm here to kill this family too. We share the same goal, so why fight amongst ourselves? In that case, we won't disturb you two as you complete your mission. We'll leave now!"
As he spoke, he gave a wink and was the first to step out and leave…
"call out!"
A flash of silver light streaked past him in an instant, and the aura of impending death rushed towards him, causing Liu Qing's legs to go weak instantly. He froze on the spot, his eyes fixed blankly on the snowflake dart embedded in the wall...
At that moment, he finally realized something was wrong. The fact that these two could use such concealed weapons to kill meant they were clearly not ordinary assassins; they were very likely from…the royal family?!
"thump!"
Liu Qing immediately knelt down, looking at the two men with terrified eyes. The two men behind him realized what was happening, their expressions changed, and without waiting for Liu Qing's orders, they rushed outside...
The assassin at the door merely snorted coldly, then leaped up and swiftly flew in front of the two, mocking them with the ease of a cat catching a mouse!
"Tsk! It's just killing a few good-for-nothings, yet the master sent us here. Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Another person leaned against the doorway, bored, watching Liu Qing's face on the ground, filled with fear and timidity, as if watching a dying animal struggling.
The people on the bed were stunned; their sleepiness had completely vanished…
Upon seeing this, Qin Qing was even more shocked and horrified. Although she didn't know who had sent people to kill her, it seemed unlikely that she could escape. Was she going to die here?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but bite her lip, looking at the children beside her, feeling extremely unwilling.
While the two outside weren't resting, she looked at the group and whispered something.
"Zhang He, carry Mu Yue; Shao Yao, carry Mu Xing; Zi Feng, follow behind them. Once I rush up and stop those people, you run! Run towards Qianqiu Inn! Go find Qian Baiwan!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang He and the others' expressions changed, and they responded anxiously.
"Mother, what about you?"
Qin Qing shook his head, his expression very solemn.
"Their target should be me, they shouldn't make things difficult for you. I have ways to protect myself. It's not safe for you to follow me. Go find Qianbaiwan, and I'll rejoin you once I shake them off... I can't stay in this capital city any longer!"
Listening to her calm analysis and arrangements, Zhang He glanced nervously at the door, then at Qin Qing, and nodded. Seeing this, Shaoyao could only agree and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Qin Qing took a deep breath, grabbed a wooden chair from the side, and smashed it hard. The man in black at the door didn't expect someone to attack him suddenly and quickly dodged. Before he could retaliate, a silver light flashed from the opposite side. His sense of danger, honed by years of training, made him instinctively retreat...
Seeing this, Qin Qing was overjoyed and quickly rushed towards another direction outside the door. The man in black followed closely behind. Zhang He and the others inside the house hurriedly ran out. Liu Qing, who was on the ground, tried to run away without saying a word, but was stopped by another assassin!
Not far away on the street, two corpses lay across the middle of the road…
After all, in the assassin's eyes, those women and children were nothing; he could just chase after them and kill them later. But he couldn't let go of these three men who had witnessed everything. His companion had already gone after the woman, so he only needed to kill these three and then go after the children!
Seeing that he was about to die, Liu Qing was so frightened that he almost fainted. Suddenly, his legs relaxed, and a pungent smell accompanied by heat wafted over. The assassin frowned, looking both surprised and disgusted!
"Useless thing! You actually peed your pants in fear..."
Having said that, he didn't want to strangle this piece of trash, so he reached for the long knife on the ground...
Upon hearing the insult, Liu Qing's face instantly turned bright red. He felt so ashamed that he wanted to disappear. His sense of humiliation reached its peak at that moment. Seeing the assassin withdraw his hand, his eyes reddened with disgust and revulsion, and his fear and anger erupted!
He reached into his pocket, pulled out a dagger, and plunged it into the assassin's heart!
The assassin was accustomed to killing with concealed weapons, and because of his disdain and contempt for Liu Qing, he was not on guard, which gave Liu Qing an opportunity to take advantage of him.
"puff!"
The dagger pierced the assassin's chest cavity, and blood gushed out instantly, spraying in all directions!
However, Liu Qing was still not satisfied. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she frantically stabbed the man's heart again and again!
"You look down on me! What right do you have to look down on me! You bastard! I'll kill you, kill you! You deserve to die! You all deserve to die..."
Under the bright moonlight, the man frantically stabbed again and again, as if venting all the resentment and bitterness deep within his heart, until the man beneath him completely lost consciousness, only then did he finally come to his senses, panting heavily…
His empty eyes stared at the man lying on the ground, then at his own black clothes soaked in blood. He suddenly woke up with a start, retreating in terror, leaving deep red marks on the ground.
On the other side, Qin Qing created obstacles as she ran, but the assassin was too fast, and she was almost caught several times. When she finally couldn't run anymore, she realized that the assassin could have caught her long ago and was just toying with her!
"Phew~"
She took a deep breath, stopped in the middle of a pile of clutter, and looked at the assassin with a very serious gaze.
The assassin noticed her stop and just laughed mockingly.
"Why did you stop running? Ha! This old lady can run pretty fast!"
Qin Qing didn't care about what he said and looked at him with a furrowed brow.
"I don't think I've offended any big shots, and you don't look like an ordinary person either. If I'm going to die, let me die knowing why. Who sent you?"
The assassin showed a slight surprise upon seeing this.
"Oh? You're quite clever and decisive, woman. It's a pity that the order is like this, and I really can't say it outright. But you're unlucky to have offended someone from the imperial family. You deserve to die!"
As he spoke, the assassin slowly walked towards her. The leisurely manner of his walk made Qin Qing's heart race, her whole body tense, and a sense of fear welled up inside her, as if he were walking on her heart.
At the same time, her brain was racing. Damn it, hadn't those millions been watching over her for two days? Why were they nowhere to be seen today? She had to get away!
"Wait! I have one last question!"
The assassin paused, frowning with obvious impatience.
"You're such a nuisance, you're about to die and you still talk so much..."
Qin Qing immediately retorted.
"Some things, if you don't say them now, you'll never be able to say them again when you die! I just have one question: Is your master Qi Ning'er, the sixth princess of Qi?"
Upon hearing this, the assassin's relaxed expression vanished instantly, and he looked at Qin Qing with a sinister gaze, his killing intent instantly intensifying.
"What are you talking about? Why do you think it was the Sixth Princess who ordered it?"
Seeing this, Qin Qing felt a slight sense of relief, knowing that he had guessed correctly. He hadn't expected it to really be Qi Ning'er!
