Li Lanzhen clearly sensed that the woman behind her was tall and robust.
She couldn't determine the woman's identity; she might be a cook in the kitchen, or a servant who looked after the kitchen and the courtyard.
It's unlikely they're assassins or people seeking revenge at the government office, committing murder and arson.
Li Lanzhen concluded that this woman did not know martial arts, was clumsy, and only relied on brute force.
One of her arms was tightly wrapped around Li Lanzhen's chest, while the other hand held a kitchen knife, pressed firmly against her neck.
Li Lanzhen felt pain and warm liquid flowing down her neck; it must have been from the cleaver cutting her neck.
At this moment, the woman behind her pressed her arm against Li Lanzhen's chest.
She cried out in alarm.
"You're a woman! A female assassin! Whether you're a man or a woman, I've got you now. Come on, follow me to the front to find the Imperial Brother-in-Law. I'll hand you over to him, and I can claim a generous reward. I won't have to be this damn cook anymore!"
Knowing that she was a cook, albeit a tall one who was quite tired, Li Lanzhen was no longer afraid.
He took out a stun gun from his spatial storage, turned it on full blast, and pressed it firmly against her stomach.
Without a sound, with a "thump," the woman behind him fell backward to the ground.
Li Lanzhen knew she wasn't dead, and she didn't want to kill anyone indiscriminately, so she left her lying there.
She took out her flashlight and looked around the room. It was also a storeroom, but it was divided into two functional areas, front and back. There was a simple bed in the front, near the door, which was probably for the person on night duty to rest.
She walked towards the back of the warehouse, which was quite deep and dark inside. Li Lianzhen shone her flashlight around and immediately knew what was inside.
There is also grain here, all kinds of dried goods, and earthenware jars and pots of all sizes.
Li Lanzhen found many bags made of white linen, the bags were bulging inside, and she reached out to touch them.
The bag was full of steamed buns, and she wondered why she had prepared so many.
But this did not prevent her from storing the supplies in her spatial storage.
There was no time to look around carefully, because outside there were shouts of "Fire! Fire!" and the sound of people running frantically.
Someone shouted, "Quickly go to the big water tank in the water kitchen and fetch water!"
Li Lanzhen waved her hand and put all of these into her spatial storage, lit a torch, and threw it into the empty storeroom on the other side of the kitchen.
People who come to fetch water will probably find this woman lying on the floor in this room.
She quickly left the kitchen, passing perfectly with the people rushing there to fetch water.
This time, she went to the front yard again, where the situation was the same as before. The shouts from the back yard and the raging fire did not attract the attention of the emperor's brother-in-law.
The three people hanging from the tree were covered in blood, and the people kneeling on the ground were also lying face down with their backs mangled and bloody, probably from being beaten with sticks.
Having apparently failed to ascertain the assassin's whereabouts, the Emperor's brother-in-law grew even more agitated and violent.
He kept shouting and cursing, only getting questioned by the yamen runners.
Li Lanzhen was thinking about what kind of punishment to give this imperial brother-in-law.
Suddenly, she remembered how, deep in the mountains, in front of the men in black, she had stored the wild boars into her spatial dimension one by one, intimidating and frightening them!
Yes, that's the method we'll use!
The fire in the backyard grew larger and larger, the crackling of the flames and the rumbling of the collapsing house mingling with chaotic footsteps, cries, and shouts...
Li Lanzhen is waiting for the best opportunity.
Just then, a gust of wind suddenly came, knocking several large lanterns hanging on the trees and under the eaves into the yard, where they rolled around with a clatter.
If we don't act now, when will we?
Li Lanzhen darted out of the space like a rabbit, climbed three steps, and came to stand behind the Imperial Brother-in-law before immediately entering the space.
The three burly men watched as a dark, indistinct object rushed towards them, but before they could even see what it was, it vanished without a trace.
The three shook their heads, thinking they were seeing things, and stopped pursuing the matter.
Li Lanzhen hid in the space and saw the Imperial Brother-in-law still sitting in the grand chair, shouting hysterically and angrily.
"You bunch of idiots! You knocked them all unconscious, you even killed them! How am I supposed to find the assassin now? Go and arrest them! Arrest as many as possible and interrogate them properly!"
Before he could finish speaking, his left arm was cleanly severed from the shoulder, and a spurt of blood gushed out. The severed arm rolled down three steps and landed on the ground in the courtyard.
A deathly silence fell, then a pig-like squeal echoed throughout the entire government office.
No one expected that Li Lanzhen would quickly emerge from the space, cut off his arm, and immediately return to the space.
She was so fast that the three burly men standing a meter behind her didn't even see her clearly.
Li Lanzhen was afraid that the emperor's brother-in-law had also run away, so she chased after him and took out an electric baton, stabbing him hard in the back.
The wailing and howling stopped abruptly.
The emperor's brother-in-law slumped into a chair.
The three bodyguards had already seen it: a black stick appeared out of nowhere and struck the uncle's spine. Then, the uncle lay down without making a sound.
Even though they were used to bloodshed, they screamed in fear at this moment!
"There's a ghost!!"
As they shouted, a sudden gust of cold wind swept through the courtyard.
The surrounding constables were also startled.
Because they watched as the emperor's brother-in-law's left arm was cleanly severed at the shoulder and rolled down with a thud.
However, no assassin was found!
Taking advantage of their stunned silence, Li Lanzhen prepared her broadsword, swiftly exited the spatial dimension, and swung it down with a "crack" towards the Imperial Uncle's right leg.
They immediately retreated back into their spatial dimension.
The emperor's brother-in-law's right leg was severed above the knee, bleeding profusely. The severed leg rolled down three steps and joined the other half of his arm below.
At this moment, the captain among the officers and soldiers shouted.
"Don't panic, what ghost? Where is the ghost? It must be some kind of illusion used by the assassin."
"Surround the Imperial Brother-in-Law! Let's see how capable this assassin is, managing to harm him right before our eyes!"
Li Lanzhen chuckled in the space, "Alright, then you can try my power and see how I cut off the other leg of the Imperial Brother-in-law right before your eyes."
What kind of damned imperial brother-in-law are you? I'll show you how to harm the people, how to hurt the empress, how to bully men and women in Youzhou City, how to plunder the people's wealth, and how to treat human life like dirt!
Li Lanzhen continued to express her anger.
They saw soldiers and three burly men surrounding the emperor's brother-in-law.
Li Lanzhen thought that this group of people, whether intentionally or unintentionally, did not call the royal physician or doctor. If that's the case, what's the use of surrounding a dead man when he's bled dry?
Seeing that they had all formed a circle, Li Lanzhen waved her broadsword in the space, found the right angle, took a deep breath, and swung the sword at the Imperial Uncle's left leg. With a "snap," she instantly flashed into the space.
So fast was it that the surrounding soldiers and three burly men only saw a flash of silver light before a dark figure and a knife disappeared without a trace.
