Chapter 41: Twists and turns



Under the candlelight, seven cold lights flashed into Zhang Yuanqing's eyes, and the death announcement squeezed out from between the teeth of the beautiful Chu came to his ears.

"You tyrant, I will kill you for the people of the world!" After saying this, he rushed forward with a dagger in his hand.

Jingwei wants to kill me

The assassin turned out to be Jingwei?

Why would Jingwei want to kill me? Isn't she my teammate? If she wants to kill me, she would need to use a fire from above to burn me into charcoal.

Or maybe she is not Jingwei. No, she must be Jingwei. I can't be wrong! Turbulent thoughts are in Zhang Yuanqing's mind, but now is not the time to think about these.

He immediately made a decision and shouted loudly: "Someone come..."

Before he could finish his words, Miss Chu made a vigorous roundhouse kick and hit him right on the jaw, causing his jaw to be dislocated with a click.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't say the second half of the sentence, which turned into a muffled groan. Seeing the dagger coming at him, he quickly rolled over.

The dagger pierced through the bedding and got stuck on the bed board but missed the target. Lady Chu did not try to pull out the dagger immediately, but instead clenched her fist and punched the tyrant's throat, then immediately attacked his chest with a set of fast-paced "Wing Chun" moves.

The tyrant emperor was beaten to the point of nearly suffocating, unable to speak, and staggered to the ground. Only then did Lady Chu pull out the dagger that was stuck in his buttocks.

She knew very well that the entire assassination process must not allow the emperor to scream loudly. Once the guards and eunuchs outside the bedroom reacted, she would surely die.

"It's me, don't, don't do anything, we are family!" Zhang Yuanqing covered his throat, his forehead was covered with cold sweat due to anxiety. He tried his best to call out but all that came out of his throat were hoarse sounds.

He was injured by a punch from Lady Chu. Seeing that Lady Chu was coming to kill him with a knife again, Zhang Yuanqing looked around in panic and suddenly had an idea. He grabbed the wool carpet beside the bed and pulled it hard.

Miss Chu staggered and fell to the side. She quickly supported herself on the ground with one hand and landed steadily with a beautiful side kick.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Yuanqing, whose vocal cords were injured, ran madly towards the palace gate. He had just taken half a step when he felt a sharp pain in his calf. He immediately fell to the ground. Looking back, he saw that the seven-headed sword had pierced his calf.

The flying dagger hit the target right away. Lady Chu rushed over like a leopard and slammed Zhang Yuanqing on the back, almost killing him. Then her two tight and powerful legs wrapped around his neck.

Chu Mei leaned back and pulled out the dagger from the emperor's calf, ready to cut his neck. At this moment, the eunuch's voice came from far outside the palace, "Concubine Wan is here."

Miss Chu's expression changed and her eyes rolled around quickly as she started thinking.

Concubine Wan is here. My Concubine Wan is here. Zhang Yuanqing felt a strong sense of joy in his heart, as if he had fallen off a cliff and grabbed hold of a vine, or as if a man who had gone bankrupt from stock trading saw the market hit its daily limit.

"You'd better stop shouting, my tyrant. Just listen to my instructions from now on." The voice of Lady Chu came from her ear, accompanied by a cold dagger against her throat.

"Go to bed right now, and when Lady Wan comes in, send her away on the pretext of feeling unwell."

When did Jingwei come up with this idea? Zhang Yuanqing was shocked. Feeling the coldness of the dagger, he planned to cooperate with Lady Chu first.

After all, he couldn't make any sound now and didn't dare to struggle. It would be better to wait for Lady Wan to come in and then wait and see what happens.

He nodded immediately, indicating his willingness to cooperate.

Chu Meiren heaved a sigh of relief, grabbed the tyrant, dragged him to the bed, covered him with a quilt and said, "Don't move or shout, otherwise I will kill you immediately." After making this threat, Chu Meiren quickly scanned the scene.

She took off her outer robe and spread it over the bloodstains to cover them up. Then she lowered the bed curtains, lifted the quilt and got in.

Zhang Yuanqing lay on his side in bed, not daring to move. He tilted his head and through the veil and the curtain outside, he vaguely saw several figures appear by the window and then move towards the door.

In his arms curled up the beautiful lady Chu, who was like a little bird while pressing a cold dagger against his chest.

Why did Jingwei want to assassinate me? Her mission was to assassinate. If that was the case, the restriction given in the copy that no information about the spiritual realm travelers could be revealed was simply sinister.

Taking advantage of the brief peace, Zhang Yuanqing started to think, but it also made one thing clear. If he forcibly revealed his identity and solved the crisis in a way that violated the "notes", he would definitely suffer a huge backlash in the next step.

After all, the cost and benefit are proportional. If it weren't for this killing, the backlash of revealing the identity of the Spirit Realm Walker might not have been so serious.

Fortunately, I was careful during the day and called all the teammates who were suspected to be spirit realm travelers to the special dormitory, otherwise I might have fallen into the hands of this little girl Jiang Jingwei today.

Well, with Jingwei's strength, it would be easy to kill the tyrant, but she chose to use weapons, which shows that her strength was also limited.

She chose to let me act with her, which means she didn't dare to reveal her identity as an assassin. She wanted to assassinate the emperor and then sneak out of the palace.

If she is a spy, that means she is not in the same team with me. It's strange that this is a group copy, and she and I are both members of the White Tiger Soldiers gang, so how could we be in the enemy camp?

Isn't this clearly asking us to kill each other?

As they turned, the figures stopped outside the bedroom door, and the voice of Lady Wan was heard faintly.

"Stay outside, no need to follow me in." The palace maid outside responded.

"Yes~"

"Squeak~"

The tall lattice door was gently pushed open, and the elegant and refined lady Wan, who was wearing a plain palace skirt, walked into the bedroom with graceful steps, lifted the curtain, and came to the inner room.

She looked around, paused for a few seconds on the scattered clothes, took a deep breath, walked to the bed and said resentfully, "Your Majesty, didn't you ask me to bring you to sleep with you? Why did you find another sister?"

Zhang Yuanqing felt a knife push forward in his chest. The beautiful lady Chu curled up in his arms and whispered softly, "Let her go, or I'll kill you now."

"Madam Wan, the alliance has already recruited Madam Chu as a sleeper today. You should go back." Zhang Yuanqing tried his best to make his hoarse voice sound weak and pitiful, hoping that his smart teammates could judge his condition from his tone.

Now we can only take a gamble and bet that Lady Wan is a little green tea or an aunt. They are musicians and are very sensitive to "sound" and "tone".

They don't need to know the emperor's true identity. As spiritual realm travelers, they will definitely take action as long as they hear that the emperor is imprisoned. This kind of trick is to bully Yuan Jiang Jingwei for being stupid. If it were someone else, they would definitely be noticed.
