"He's just a traitor about to die. Once His Majesty sends troops to attack the city and I get hold of Zhou Zhenguang's weaknesses, the Zhou family's fate will be absolutely miserable! Why would you want to pledge allegiance to him?"
"Perhaps it's better to find someone else to rely on, girl. From the first moment I saw you..."
The guard's gaze was intense.
Unable to suppress his thoughts any longer, he immediately reached out to hug Cheng Xianyi.
However,
He was greeted.
It wasn't a soft, gentle embrace.
It was the stinging pain of having my carotid artery cut open with a dagger!
A tearing sound........
With a calm expression, Cheng Xianyi pulled out a sharp dagger from somewhere, just as the guard's dirty hand was about to touch the hem of her clothes.
With a single slash of the sword, a fatal blow was delivered!
She stood there calmly and composed.
Blood spurted from her torn skin, a tiny drop splashing onto her cheek, making her stunning beauty even more captivating.
"You...you..." The guard stared wide-eyed in disbelief, clutching his neck with both hands. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but felt the rush of blood to his throat blocking his throat.

Cheng Xianyi slightly raised her calm, dark eyes, her smile shallow and beautiful. Coupled with the drop of blood on her cheek, it gave off a sense of obsessive morbidity, as if she didn't care about anything.
It was as if she was saying, "You guys?"
A bunch of useless trash.
Yes, it was that contrast that sent chills down the spines of dozens of people: "They're just two women, what are you afraid of? Get them!"
"Capture them alive!"
Dozens of men drew their long swords and surged forward.
The dagger swirled in Cheng Xianyi's hand, creating a beautiful wave, just as the two sides were about to unleash a bloodbath!
far away.
“Da da da—”
The sound of horses' hooves approached from afar.
Cheng Xianyi paused, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she immediately turned around to look behind her.
A great distance away, a handsome man in a black cloak rode on horseback.
His expression was solemn and urgent, and his breathing was very heavy.
Galloping on horseback, full of vigor and high spirits.
Jiangling City's warhorses had clearly all been slaughtered, yet it was unclear how much effort he had expended to find a few horses. He led his guards and others towards the official residence in the northern route...
