“Hmph, Cheng Yu, don’t think that the Prime Minister doesn’t know about Mo City just because he’s in the capital.” The killer has already settled down in Mo City.

A middle-aged man in a green brocade cotton robe in the room looked at Cheng Yu with a gloomy expression. His fingers kept rubbing the jade ring on his thumb.

Cheng Yu sat calmly on the chair and refused in neither servile nor an overbearing manner.

“I’m already used to life in the border areas. However, the person who did it has already left. My personality is rough and unworthy of the Prime Minister’s favor. If Chief Zhu doesn’t believe me, I can’t do anything about it.”

“Good, good, good....”

“The big killing machines are those living in the government office, right? Do you think I don’t know?”

Chief Zhu said ‘good’ three times in a row and revealed a sinister smile.

“Since you don’t know how to appreciate kindness, see your Master! The Prime Minister will reward you with a dismemberment. Men, arrest the traitor Cheng Yu.”

The soldiers outside rushed into the house. Cheng Yu refused to surrender and fought with them.

Cheng Yu was unarmed, and the other party was armed. Naturally, he was at a disadvantage in the fight. He was injured in many places, and his clothes were dyed red with blood. However, he was alone, while the other party had dozens of people.

Seeing Cheng Yu resist, Chief Zhu placed his hands behind his back and ordered arrogantly,

“Thief Cheng, if you resist, kill without mercy.”

As soon as he gave the order, the roof tiles were smashed. An arrow shot down from the roof with the sound of the wind. Fortunately, some soldiers came to save Chief Zhu.

Su Qing didn’t jump off the roof in a hurry. She took the crossbow and shot first. She looked down at the narrow room, and Cheng Yu fought desperately. The soldiers were thrown into disarray.

Chief Zhu was so scared that he lay under the table and dared not leave. He shouted out of the room,

“Men, arrest the person on the roof.”

There were still soldiers outside the room. They heard the steward’s order and went up to the room to capture Su Qing, but how could Su Qing let them catch her?

Standing on the roof, Su Qing fired a volley of arrows at them. The distance was close, and Su Qing’s shots were always accurate. She killed one of them and injured two of them.

Xiao Qi was busy applying poison to the arrowheads in the system. This didn’t even delay her from shooting two arrows into the house. The poisoned arrows were sent to the Master’s quiver to ensure that the Master had enough poisoned arrows.

The poisonous arrows would kill anyone they hit. Seeing that the people who were shot to death had all died with pale faces and convulsions, the remaining soldiers who were not dead were afraid.

This poison was too overbearing. One didn’t even have the time to take the antidote before he died.

With Su Qing’s help, Cheng Yu was like a tiger with wings. He picked up the steel knife on the ground with the tip of his toes and grabbed the handle, slashing at these people.

He was a person who had been killing on the battlefield all year round. When fighting, he had to put his life on the line. Although the soldiers brought by Chief Zhu were also powerful, they had to fight Cheng Yu to death and guard against Su Qing’s arrows. Soon, they were at a disadvantage.

Chief Zhu hid under the table and gritted his teeth in hatred.

He had been careless. He thought everything would be fine after chasing Cheng Yu’s subordinates away. How could more than forty people not be able to kill him?

In the end, a female god of death came. The key was that she stood on the roof from above, making it impossible to guard against her. Her arrows were poisonous, and anyone who came close to her would die. noVe(LB-In

Seeing that his life was in danger, Chief Zhu had the thought of escaping. Otherwise, they would be completely wiped out if that woman shot down again.

“Cover me; retreat quickly.”

He wanted to leave Mo City first, report to the Prime Minister, and let the Eldest Young Master lead his troops to flatten Mo City.

However, Su Qing had no intention of letting them leave Mo City alive. Wouldn’t allowing the tiger to return to the mountain leave behind future troubles?

Chief Zhu thought that Su Qing had a limited number of arrows in her quiver. She would be able to charge out once she had finished shooting. Usually, a quiver could only hold twenty arrows at most.

However, they never dreamed that Su Qing had Xiao Qi’s endless supply of arrows.

These arrows were all made by Xiao Qi in the system. Since Master made the crossbow, she started to help Master make arrows. It was hard to say that there were hundreds of arrows.

As long as someone ran out of the courtyard, Su Qing would shoot them to death. Later, Xiao Qi also ran out to help. It went to watch the courtyard door. Whoever ran to the door it would use its chubby little body to knock them back with the top spinning technique. One man could hold off ten thousand people.

Chief Zhu ran out of the door with the table against his head. He used the table to block the arrow and finally exited the house. In the end, Xiao Qi was still at the door, who had closed the door and beaten the dog.

Chief Zhu was about to go crazy. It was difficult enough to deal with a female god of death. Why did another monster come?

Su Qing pulled out one arrow after another at a breakneck speed. She stood on the roof and shot arrows, which Cheng Yu’s soldiers saw.

“Not good, something happened.”

These soldiers were all veterans under General Xiao Heng. They were all against the imperial court. Chief Zhu had chased them away as soon as he arrived, so everyone was suspicious. They had not gone far and had been guarding the government office.

Seeing Su Qing standing on the roof and shooting arrows into the house, these veterans immediately understood that Cheng Yu was in danger. They all rushed into the government office with their weapons.

When Chief Zhu saw these soldiers rushing in, he seemed to have seen his savior. He leaned against the table and shouted at them,

“Cheng Yu rebelled. The person who captured him will be promoted by three ranks and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.”

According to his thinking, brave men must be under the rich reward. However, he did not expect that Xiao Heng’s soldiers could not be subdued by power and wealth could not be licentious. They could not be captured by money and official positions.

Everyone was furious. Thinking of the general’s tragic death back then, they did not care about his words. They rushed forward and pressed him to the ground, chopping him up.

Su Qing couldn’t shoot since her people had rushed in to avoid injuring them. She stood on the roof majestically, as if she was a female general commanding the three armies, and ordered,

“Leave no one alive.”

Su Qing stood on the roof; her thin body seemed to have infinite strength. Everyone carried out her orders without hesitation.

Prime Minister Wan’s soldiers initially struggled, but the furious Xiao Family Army soon slaughtered them.

Su Qing saw that no one had escaped, so she jumped into the house from the roof and took out some medicine to bandage Cheng Yu’s wound.

The old general was strong. His body was severely mutilated, but he didn’t make a sound. He sat there straight like a pine tree, and his expression didn’t change.

Su Qing admired Cheng Yu. Only a man like him was worthy of being called a soldier.

Su Qing cleaned the wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it. She moved quickly and tried her best to reduce Cheng Yu’s pain.

Cheng Yu’s eyes were worried, and his thick eyebrows were tightly knitted. He did not care about his injuries, but he was worried about the safety of the young Master and Su Qing. He said to her,

“Miss Su, Prime Minister Wan already knows about the existence of the great killing weapon. According to his personality, he will not stop until he gets it. You and the young Master will be in a hazardous situation in Mo City.”

“If we kill Chief Zhu this time, the next one who will come will probably be the Wan Family Army. They are not like the soldiers in the capital who have no combat experience and are known to be invincible. Why don’t you and the Young Master leave early and avoid the enemy?”

Su Qing was bandaging Cheng Yu’s wound when she heard his words and stopped what she was doing. Her eyes flashed with disdain toward the Wan Family Army as she confidently said,

“What if they don’t know that we killed Chief Zhu? Would they still mobilize the army to attack Mo City?”
