Chapter 82 Go and grab her
Her moves carried a sword energy that made people's backs cold, and the silver sword reflected the bright moon in the sky.
The river at night seemed to be covered with a layer of blood mist, and the swaying boat was about to capsize as the two men fought.
“Zheng——”
The iron chain was entangled with the long sword. The big man pulled hard to pull her closer. He had already raised his leg to kick her in the abdomen, but the woman dropped the sword directly. The big man staggered back a step, and his feet made a sharp sound when they stepped on the wooden board. His body was stabilized with great effort.
But it was too late. The man had already nimbly gotten behind him and grabbed his neck with one arm. He was so strong that he had to lean back. The big man was furious. In his sight was the woman's lowered head. He looked at her eagerly, wishing he could see her face through the veil hanging from the brim of her hat.
I wish I could tear her into pieces right now.
The force started from his feet and was transmitted to his waist. He used his waist and abdomen to exert force. As he struggled violently, the boat swayed violently from side to side, as if it would capsize into the water in the next second.
With a "whoosh" sound, she grasped the short dagger in her sleeve and pressed it against the big man's throat.
The woman's voice was so soft, so soft that the big man with shortness of breath and a blue face almost couldn't hear it clearly.
"I have sent people to spread rumors these days, but I have never killed anyone with this identity. You are the first group."
"Then, die with honor in your heart."
The dagger stabbed mercilessly, blood spurted out, and the big man's eyes quickly changed from disbelief to gray, like a mountain collapsing, and fell into the river with a "bang", splashing high into the water.
The woman's inner strength jolts, and she actually blocked all the splashes. She slowly picked up the long sword on the ground, tapped the sword with her knuckles, and listened to the clear and pleasant sound before she put the sword back into the sheath with satisfaction.
"This sword is not bad. It can be used as it is."
After saying this, she tiptoed, and like an elegant white crane, she flew over the water and landed lightly on the shore.
"The little bug is vulnerable. Ha, is there not even one master in the capital?"
The woman's tone was disappointed, and she walked away with lotus steps. Only when her figure disappeared did the leaves rustle, and the person who had been hiding in the tree under the cover of night dared to breathe freely. His hands and feet were already cold and he was sweating profusely.
The man in black staggered down the tree, his legs going limp. Perhaps the scene of being crushed was too brutal. He took several deep breaths before using his Qinggong to leave.
The direction was the imperial palace.
The palace was silent at night. He followed the route planned by the Empress Dowager, carefully avoiding her presence and hurried back. He knocked on the door of a bedroom three times in a proper manner.
"Come in."
“Squeak—”
The door was pushed open, incense was still burning in the room, and the Empress Dowager was sitting in front of a Buddha statue, reciting Buddhist scriptures.
"Have you settled the people you were sent to meet?"
The calm tone seemed as if everything was going on in an orderly manner.
“Dead…”
The man in black couldn't help but break his trembling voice.
The Empress Dowager stood up suddenly and turned to look at him, her eyes wide open and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes showing her age.
"He was murdered..."
"They were all killed... all those adults were dead..."
For a long time, the Empress Dowager did not find her voice again. Just like the time at Jinglin Villa, she threw her Buddhist beads to the ground and wanted to vent her anger. However, since this was in the palace and it was late at night, she was afraid of being noticed. She could only hold back her anger and pointed her finger at the head of the man in black: "But Emperor Jing..."
"No, that's a pretty woman."
"I'm asking if you are from Emperor Jing's faction!"
"No, it can't be. Emperor Jing can't control that kind of monster. She won't obey anyone. She will only look for strong people to kill, only kill..."
Each of those adults was extremely powerful, which was why they were sent by the Empress Dowager as helpers. However, they died so easily, as vulnerable as newborn babies.
She fell into a chair, covering her heart with one hand, breathing heavily.
What is this?
Is God really going to kill me?
"Who is that woman?"
He finally asked, trembling.
"It's a monster... a monster..."
"Waste, I'm asking you a question!"
The man shuddered, as if he had finally woken up from a nightmare. He knelt on the ground and realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly straightened his body and tried his best to steady his tone: "I was hiding in the tree, and vaguely heard that her name was Cang Qiong. Recently, rumors about her have been circulating everywhere..."
"It is said that a female swordsman wearing a white dress and a white veil came to the capital. She has killed countless people in other places, and she is always looking for the strongest one, just to defeat him."
The Empress Dowager murmured: "The strongest..."
The man in black murmured, "When a person becomes strong enough, he will become like her, traveling thousands of miles just to be defeated..."
"After checking, if everything is true, then arrest her——"
"What?"
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and made up her mind: "I will send someone to find a strong opponent for her. In exchange, she will kill someone for me."
She said loudly: "With such people's help, there is no worry that this time, the abdication will not succeed!"
The man in black knelt on the ground and stared at the woman's face.
Crazy, all the royal family members are crazy.
Now the expression on the Empress Dowager's face was full of madness.
That kind of madness has long lost reason, and people have gone astray and will do anything to achieve their goals.
"I understand. I will go and find out the news about that girl..."
He didn't know how he walked out the door, he was just afraid, afraid that if he really met that person, he would point at his nose and say, "I think you are strong, so fight me."
Just like the casual and nonchalant tone of the man standing on the shore, and then easily killing everyone's life.
Can the Empress Dowager really feed such an evil ghost?
The woman over there entered the villa and came out as a man dressed in black and wearing a black veil.
She returned to the palace with ease. As soon as she reached the door of her bedroom, she saw a drunk man leaning there, holding a wine jar in his arms as if it were a treasure.
That beautiful face is Jin Ge.
She squatted down and grabbed his collar in anger: "Who allowed you to come to my bedroom? Didn't I order that no one else can come here in the near future except me?"
She had set up a formation around the bedroom to prevent the Empress Dowager from forcing the emperor to abdicate. If someone who didn't know what was going on broke in and accidentally activated the formation, not only would the formation be wasted, but Jin Ge's life would also be in danger.
He blinked in confusion, his face still flushed with drunkenness, and he spoke softly with red eyes: "Husband, you are mean to me..."
He really seemed to be a piece of broken glass then glued together, precarious, shattered, and with a sense of brokenness all over.
