Murong Zhi looked at Shen Qing in front of him, and the more he looked, the more unfamiliar he felt.
This was all so strange! The Shen Qing he was investigating was a woman who only knew how to do farm work and had never been exposed to martial arts, yet she had skills comparable to his.
Also, that day in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he was clearly under her spell, which was why he spoke without thinking.
Moreover, she is cruel and ruthless, and decisive in killing. How could she be just a country girl?
He has been asking Rong Xuan to investigate this matter, but there has been no result.
"You, you are not Shen Qing, who are you?! A girl doing farm work in the countryside, a bandit from Qingshan Temple, the lost eldest daughter of the general's mansion, in the end, which one is your true identity?!"
"My true identity is your father."
"...Witch!" Murong Zhi suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed at Shen Qing, "I will rid the people of this evil!"
This dagger was given to him by Shangguan Xi for self-defense!
Chen Qing raised his foot and kicked Murong Zhi to the ground, watching him spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Don't get angry, otherwise, the illness that the Queen just had someone cure you of will come back soon."
Shen Qing stood up, walked slowly to Murong Zhi, squatted down, took out a pendant, clamped his chin with his hand, and forced him to look at the pendant in front of him.
"Watch it and relax."
Her voice was so alluring that people couldn't help but follow her instructions.
Seeing Murong Zhi's eyes becoming more and more blurred, Shen Qing's smile became more and more satisfied.
"Next, you need to answer all my questions truthfully."
Murong Zhi stared blankly at the jade pendant in Chen Qing's hand.
"Do you know, Song Siyao?"
"I know. Song Siyao is the daughter of a criminal and the mother of Jiang Zhuo."
Shen Qing narrowed his eyes.
"Who killed Song Siyao?"
Murong Zhi's face suddenly became a little distorted, and there was a struggle in his eyes.
It seems that there is indeed something behind this matter.
Shen Qing hurriedly comforted him, and when Murong Zhi calmed down, she changed the way she asked and asked again.
"Was Song Siyao killed by someone sent by the emperor?"
"It's the late emperor."
Shen Qing was speechless. If it weren't for Murong Zhi's blurred eyes, she would have thought Murong Zhi was sober and was just playing with her!
The late emperor was already dead, so why did he send someone to kill Song Siyao? Was it a dream?
"Why the late emperor?"
"The late emperor issued a decree that within three years of ascending the throne, the new emperor must eliminate the Song family's criminal daughter."
Is the late emperor ill? Is he ill?!
You're about to die, why are you talking about this instead of telling us about the important matters of the country and family?!
"How did you plan it?"
"I..." Murong Zhi frowned, sweat beads appeared on his forehead, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and then he fainted.
Chen Qing frowned and patted Murong Zhi's cheek, then stood up and kicked him twice, but there was no response.
"No way, I remember his mental strength was pretty good!"
Seventh point: Looking at Murong Zhi who was lying on the ground like a beggar, why don’t you take a look at his current condition?
Shen Qing put away the pendant, put on the mask, and left the clan residence.
“Who is it?”
Yo, I've been discovered.
Looking at the guards chasing after him like a tide, Shen Qing's heart tightened, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace, trying to leave the palace, which was a dangerous place, as soon as possible.
But it must be said that the speed with which the patrol battalion's soldiers assembled was simply astonishing. Within moments, the sound of footsteps and shouts grew closer, and soon, they were surrounding them from all sides.
Those soldiers, all holding weapons, had serious expressions and determination in their eyes. They quickly formed an impenetrable encirclement, completely cutting off Shen Qing's retreat.
I'm not very lucky today.
"Who are you? Tell me your name!"
Shen Qing rolled her eyes. She was not stupid, so how could she possibly introduce herself?
There was no fear in Shen Qing's eyes. She took the lead and attacked the nearest soldier. She clenched her right fist and struck the soldier in the face with a fierce force.
The soldier hurriedly raised his shield to block, but Shen Qing suddenly changed his move when his fist was halfway, turning his fist into a palm, grabbing the edge of the shield and pulling it hard. The soldier immediately lost his balance and fell forward.
At this moment, two more soldiers thrust their spears at her from the left. Shen Qing dodged sideways, avoiding the spear tips. Her hands grasped the spear shafts like iron pliers, twisting them hard. The two soldiers lost their grip and the spears slipped out of their hands. She took advantage of the situation and swung the spears, the tips of which turned into cold stars, forcing the surrounding soldiers to retreat.
But the soldiers of the patrol camp were well-trained and did not panic at all. They coordinated with each other, some slashed at Shen Qing's lower body with their knives, and some stabbed her back with their swords.
Shen Qing leaped and moved, did a backflip, avoided the incoming attack, knelt on one knee the moment he landed, and swept his spear across, knocking down a group of soldiers.
Shen Qing was indeed powerful, but she could not withstand the large number of people. Someone attacked her from behind, and she threw the spear and stabbed it into the man's chest.
"You can't escape by yourself!"
Shen Qing snorted coldly and launched another attack, but he used the shield to jump onto the palace wall.
Then, in full view of everyone, he raised his middle finger.
A bunch of trash.
"Catch him!" the leading man roared.
Shen Qing turned around and disappeared into the night.
"Master Wu, what should we do?" one of the soldiers asked the leading man.
"Send a city-wide search. I'll report this to the Emperor."
Shen Qing hid in the alley, listening to the soldiers outside searching for her everywhere, and sighed.
"Do you need help?" A man also wearing nightgown appeared in front of her, "Miss Shen."
Shen Qing looked at the person who came and suddenly chuckled.
