"What did you say? My son is gone?"
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother..."
The Queen Mother finally collapsed on the bed.
"Who is it! Who killed my son!" She threw the things in her hand away like a madman, completely ignoring whether there were ears on the other side of the wall.
The person reporting this knelt on the ground. "When our people found the young master, they happened to see... saw Yun Qi kill him with a single blow. We servants were unable to stop him."
"Yun Qi?" The Queen Mother clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "I want him to pay with his life!"
"Who does the Queen Mother want to pay for her life?"
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but a cold wind seemed to blow in from nowhere into this huge bedroom, and the empress dowager trembled violently all over. This sound was undoubtedly the most terrifying thing she had ever encountered in broad daylight.
"Mother, speak up." Ling Junyan reminded her.
The Queen Mother stared at him as he approached step by step, and her heart sank completely, filled with fear, dread and despair.
This person is here to take her life...
Ling Junyan looked at her frightened expression and smiled calmly. If looks could kill, he would have died a thousand times over.
This powerful queen mother was only ten years older than him, not much, but not too little either. She even had the leisure to raise a puppet son outside. It was true that human greed was insatiable.
Ling Junyan glanced at the servant kneeling on the ground, "How dare he deceive the Queen Mother? Come, drag him out and beat him to death with sticks."
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty!" The servant was forcibly dragged away, and he begged again and again until the screams at the door of the Empress Dowager's palace gradually subsided.
The Queen Mother witnessed everything with her own eyes and sat there unable to say a word.
The palace maids were called back.
In the silent palace, Ling Junyan's cold voice rang out, "Mother, the late emperor treated you so well, why don't you go and accompany him?"
"You!" The Queen Mother jumped up from the couch like a madman and pounced on Ling Junyan.
Just when she was so close to him, the Queen Mother groaned and looked down at the bloody wound on her abdomen with trembling eyes.
There was a salty and fishy taste in my throat, and warm blood flowed from the corners of my mouth.
Ling Junyan looked at her coldly.
The Queen Mother's face was pale, and she raised her head with difficulty. It was obvious that she was trying hard to support her body.
Ling Junyan was very curious about what else she would do.
The Queen Mother trembled and said, "Murderer, pay with your life..." After she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth raised in a creepy arc.
Ling Junyan's expression froze.
Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother collapsed to the ground, the dagger in her abdomen still stained with blood.
Ling Junyan's expression was indifferent, but there was a hint of irritation between his brows.
"Someone come."
The guards pushed the door open and came in, waiting quietly for their orders. When the palace servants at the door saw the scene inside, they were all horrified, and some even fainted suddenly, probably because they felt that they could not escape.
Ling Jun said: "The Empress Dowager was instigated by a treacherous person, but she later repented and felt overwhelmed with shame, so she followed the late emperor..."
Ling Junyan explained the so-called cause and effect clearly, and after the relevant personnel were properly dealt with, he secretly left the palace at an extremely fast speed.
He didn't know whether the murderer the Queen Mother was talking about was Yunqi or himself, but he was so panicked that he couldn't wait until Yunqi came back on his own initiative. Before that, he had to see him and see with his own eyes that he was safe.
Yunqi, who was being missed by others, found a secluded rooftop and lay there leisurely with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.
In fact, this was already the second day, and he was completely unaware of what happened in the palace yesterday. If he knew so many things had happened in one day, he would probably be shocked.
It’s a beautiful day now, and the sun is shining brightly. I haven’t felt this free for a long time.
It's different from the feeling of wandering around the world before. Perhaps it can be understood as the difference between having nothing to do and taking a vacation. In people's subjective consciousness, the latter seems to be more comfortable because of its fleeting nature.
But it could also be that he is just being a jerk, haha. But he really does think so.
Just like now.
The sun is good! The wind is good! Even the assassins are dressed so well...
Oh shit!
Yunqi rolled over and narrowly avoided the sharp blade of the masked assassin.
Then he supported himself with one hand, flew up, and kicked the person in front of him away.
"Who are you?"
Although Yun Qi asked this, he knew that the group of people opposite would not answer at all, but he couldn't help asking.
Assassin: "Should I tell you if I ask?"
Yun Qi: “…”
Yun Qi: "Not bad, quite unique."
Assassin: "Stop talking nonsense and prepare to die!"
Don’t you think what you said is nonsense... Before Yunqi had the time to complain about him, a group of people rushed up immediately, and Yunqi could only fight back.
They jumped from one roof to another, and then jumped to another. It was a pity that the people in the house did not know what was going on and went out to check, but were then scared back. They might have to endure it silently even if the tiles of their houses were blown off.
Life is important Life is important...
The assassins were holding long swords, and Yunqi's short dagger was obviously at a disadvantage. Yunqi took the opportunity to take the sword of the dead assassin and killed one after another, but it seemed that this man could not be killed.
He remembered that he had killed more than ten people before, and each of them was quite skilled.
He is just a little-known person, why would it take so many people to kill him?
They were being hunted openly in Mutian City. Did they have something on their mind? Did they want to stop?!
Yunqi didn't have time to figure out his doubts. After comprehensive consideration... he decided to find a way to escape first.
After all, they are a group of desperadoes.
Yunqi jumped off the roof and slipped into a small alley. The alley was empty and it was too easy to hide. If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame himself for having to find a secluded place to bask in the sun.
Seeing that he had lost sight of the pursuers, the assassin leader divided the remaining dozens of people into several groups to search in the alleys.
Yunqi hid in the corner, took a deep breath, and paid close attention to the movements outside.
"Search over there!"
After a while, there seemed to be no movement outside. Yun Qi tiptoed out, found a suitable position, and climbed onto the roof again.
"You guys take your time to look for it!" Yun Qi said in a very low voice.
After saying this, he tiptoed across the roof in the opposite direction, walked through about four or five of them, and was about to continue forward.
Sudden!
Oh no! Why can’t I leave?
Yun Qi lowered his head in surprise. There was clearly nothing there, but his legs and feet could not move, as if they were fixed.
Oh my God, what is going on…is this happening again?
Yunqi tried his best to break free, but it was in vain and he didn't move at all.
"Who is it! Whoever is unhappy with me, come out!"
Despite his anger, Yun Qi tried to lower his voice. After waiting for a long time, no one responded.
Yunqi was about to continue when suddenly!
Something pushed him hard. His legs and feet were already unable to move, and now he couldn't stand at all. The moment he fell, the restraints below suddenly disappeared.
Yun Qi: “…”
Intentional, right?
Then he rolled off.
To be honest, Yunqi was prepared to fall hard to the ground and even closed his eyes, but the result was so sudden.
He was suddenly caught by someone.
Yun Qi frowned, praying that it would be fine as long as it wasn't an assassin. Then he tentatively opened one eye, and after seeing the man's face clearly, he instantly opened the other eye, and opened it wide.
Ling Junyan obviously didn't react. He stared at Yun Qi for a while, "You..."
Before he could explain what was going on, he heard sporadic footsteps in the distance, and Ling Junyan and Yun Qi looked over at the same time.
"Are these people here to kill you?" Ling Junyan asked.
Yun Qi was about to cry when he saw this, "This isn't the same group of people!"
Ling Junyan:?
Yun Qi quickly broke free from his embrace and stood up, "Don't just stand there, run!"
Before he finished speaking, he grabbed Ling Junyan's arm and rushed out.
Everything that happened here was very sudden for Ling Junyan. Suddenly the person fell into his arms, and suddenly he was pulled away to run. It seemed that they were two groups of people.
Yun Qi said depressedly as he ran: "You didn't cause this, did you, brother?"
Ling Junyan denied: "I didn't meet these people when I came here."
None of this matters anymore. Yun Qi said, "I'm telling you, if I were to meet that group at this time, I'd be dead straight away without a second thought."
Ling Junyan was silent for a moment, then said, seemingly to comfort her, "At least I'm with you."
Yun Qi: “…”
Yun Qi: "Are you crazy!?"
I don’t want to die!!!
