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. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
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.
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.
Before Su Qing could reply, the Daoist priest cut her off.
“The Empress is also going. The dragon and phoenix are indispensable..”
