Assassination

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Shuisheng, there’s an ambush.”

Su Qing whispered to Xiao Zeyu. Xiao Zeyu also felt that the situation was not right. The surroundings were too quiet, and a feeling of danger lurked everywhere.

“Everyone spread out.”

Xiao Zeyu ordered the guards in a low voice. The guards immediately dispersed and looked around vigilantly.

The Taoist priest turned around and saw them waiting for him.

“Why aren’t you leaving?”

Su Qing glanced at him. The Taoist priest blinked and appeared very calm.

Su Qing suddenly raised her hand, and a sleeve arrow flew past the Daoist’s cheek. The Daoist was so frightened that he squatted on the ground and shouted at Su Qing,

“What are you doing?”

“Ah!”

Before the Taoist priest could finish his sentence, he heard a scream. The ground suddenly flipped over, and the people lying in ambush were shot to death by Su Qing.

Su Qing ignored the Taoist priest and raised her hand twice. The assassins lying in ambush were shot dead one after another. The guards also discovered the assassins hiding under the grass and went over to fight.

Just as they were fighting, the ground suddenly split open, and bullets shot out from the cracks. Three guards were shot dead before they could dodge.

Su Qing immediately removed a grenade from the system and threw it into the crack. The killer hiding inside was blown up into a bloody mess. The body pieces and blood splattered all over the Taoist priest’s face, scaring him so much that he fell to the ground.

Xiao Zeyu and Zhong Yong led the guards to clean up all the killers hiding under the grass and behind the grave. These people all had firearms, but the aim of the firearms they made was not good. In a panic, they shot two guards in the legs.

Su Qing checked their firearms and found that they were all shotguns. Each gun was loaded with two bullets, just like modern shotguns.

Her expression was solemn. Firearms appeared. Did modern people transmigrate to this dynasty?

“Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate, didn’t I tell the Empress not to kill? Why aren’t you listening!”

As Su Qing studied the firearm, the Taoist priest’s voice sounded behind her. He was reprimanding her.

“You’re right.” Su Qing stood up and looked at the Taoist priest coldly.

“So you’re saying that I should just wait for death?”

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on her, and her aura was terrifying.

The Taoist priest shook his head.

“No, no. The Empress and the Emperor are the stars in the sky. Ordinary people can’t kill you at all. Someone will come to save you. Why should the Empress kill more?”

Su Qing looked at him coldly.

“I don’t believe in this. Stop spreading rumors to confuse the public, or I’ll kill you right now.”

The Taoist priest sighed and shook his head. In the end, he did not dare to say anything else.

“Hurry up!”

Xiao Zeyu urged the Taoist priest. He felt that there was still a murderous aura around, so he ordered the guards to search the surroundings.

Previously, Cheng Yu had wanted to lead his troops to protect Xiao Zeyu, but he didn’t want to involve too many people. He didn’t expect that something would happen here.

How did these people know his whereabouts? Why did they hide here so accurately? They had hidden themselves very well. If it wasn’t for the fact that he and Qing’er were sensitive to killing intent, they might have succeeded in the assassination with firearms.

Unfortunately, all the killers were dead. There was no way to know who was commanding them from behind.

Su Qing did not say a word throughout the entire ceremony. She just watched the Taoist priest do the ritual and open the coffin to retrieve the bones.

Zhong Yong knelt on the ground and cried. Jiang Yuyan, as his future wife, was also wearing mourning clothes with Zhong Yong. However, she had just been frightened by those assassins and kept kowtowing with a pale face.

Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing knelt down when the coffin was opened. If one didn’t wear the imperial robe, they wouldn’t be the Emperor, so kneeling to Godmother was nothing.

The guards held their knives and looked around warily. They were holding a fire in their hearts. The dead guards were placed aside and buried after the graves were moved.

“Your Majesty, the ceremony has been completed. We should go to the other tomb.”

The Taoist priest picked up the remains of Madam Li one by one and covered them with a red cloth. He rang the bell and performed a ritual before coming over to report to Xiao Zeyu, implying that he should go with him.

“Emperor, let’s get Lord Cheng to send troops to protect us!”

The head guard was still worried, so he walked over to report to Xiao Zeyu.

“No, no, I’m doing a soul-summoning ritual. The undead are most afraid of people with strong firepower. The army’s firepower is strong and murderous. The Li Consort will be scared away. At that time, she won’t be able to return to her old netherworld or enter her new netherworld. She can only be a wandering ghost.”

The Daoist priest hurriedly stopped him when he heard the guard captain’s words.

“That won’t do. I can’t let my mother be a lonely ghost.”

Hearing that his mother would be homeless, Zhong Yong refused. Xiao Zeyu seemed to have heard of ghosts being afraid of soldiers and felt that what the Taoist priest said made sense. He said to the head guard,

“No need.”

Su Qing looked at the Taoist priest again. Her gaze seemed to be penetrating. The Taoist priest felt very uncomfortable under her gaze. He turned to Xiao Zeyu and reported,

“Emperor, we have to leave now. We must dig out Old Zhong’s remains and bury them together on the auspicious day.”

“Alright.”

Xiao Zeyu nodded his head. Thinking about Zhong Yong’s father’s tragic death, his heart felt like a knife was stabbing it. Back then, Uncle Zhong had been killed by a carriage while trying to save his father. Today, he could be considered to have done a little filial piety by helping Zhong Yong and his godmother.

After this was done, he would find his uncle’s master and bury his parents again. Previously, his grandfather had asked his uncle’s master to dig up his parents’ bodies secretly. Even his grandfather did not know where his parents were buried.

Ever since he had conquered the world, he had been looking for his Martial Uncle. It was as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, and he had disappeared without a trace.

“Emperor, there’s danger.”

The guard captain was highly anxious. The Emperor didn’t allow Commander Cheng to lead troops to protect him and even wanted to put himself in danger. “Big brother, you guys don’t have to follow. I’ll go with Yuyan.” Zhong Yong was not a selfish person. He had already experienced an assassination, which proved that the Emperor’s whereabouts had been leaked. Since he could be ambushed in front of his mother’s grave, he could be ambushed at the burial place.

“I also think we shouldn’t go.”

Su Qing, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke. The Daoist priest was very anxious when he heard this.

“No, that Feng Shui treasure land can only become a treasure land with the help of Dragon Qi. The Emperor must go, or else that piece of land will be cut off, and the Zhong family will have no descendants in the future.”

“Is it that serious?”

Xiao Zeyu looked at the Taoist priest, eyes as deep as an ancient well. He asked in a drawn-out voice, and the Taoist priest nodded.

“It’s that serious. That’s why I want the Emperor to come with me.”

Zhong Yong did not believe this.

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t care.” He looked at Xiao Zeyu and said,

“Big Brother, you don’t have to go. I don’t believe in these things!”

“Brother Yong, you have to believe it!”

Jiang Yuyan tugged at Zhong Yong’s sleeve. She didn’t want to die without descendants. She wanted to have a family!

However, letting the Emperor and Empress take the risk didn’t seem right, which made her extremely conflicted.

“I’ll go with you.”

Xiao Zeyu replied expressionlessly before turning to Su Qing. free(w)ebnovel.com

Before Su Qing could reply, the Daoist priest cut her off.

“The Empress is also going. The dragon and phoenix are indispensable..”
