Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 121

Chapter 121 Tiger’s Mouth Pulled Out His Teeth
Jiang Qing fought with all his might against the refugees in front of him. The people on the left had already been kicked away by him. Just when Yun Xiao thought that he was about to be hit by the refugees attacking from behind, she saw Jiang Qing’s figure suddenly jump up. He turned around and kicked the refugees behind him away.

However, Jiang Qing was no longer able to rotate in the air.

At the same time, just as the refugee was kicked away, a refugee came from behind. He raised his sword and stabbed at Jiang Qing.

The hands under Yun Xiao’s sleeves were tightly clenched together. She looked anxiously at Jiang Qing. The sound of weapons colliding finally pulled Yun Xiao back to her senses. When she saw this scene, she immediately cried out loudly, “Jiang Qing, be careful!”

When Jiang Qing heard this voice in the distance, he chuckled. He turned around in the air and stood on the tip of the sword of the attacking refugee. He saw that two refugees had surrounded her and her on the horse. He frowned slightly and said, “Let’s go!”

Rong Jin smiled lightly and stabbed the sword from another refugee’s hand into the refugee’s chest. In an instant, fresh blood sprayed out from the stabbing point and splashed onto Yun Xiao and Rong Jin’s faces.

The moment the warm liquid landed on his body, it was as if Yun Xiao had seen the mouthful of blood that Nuo Nuo had spat out before he died in his previous life. He had also spat out the warm feeling on his face. Yun Xiao would often dream of it.

It was hard to endure struggling, but at this moment, it was like a ferocious beast smashing into Yun Xiao’s heart.

Rong Jin lowered his head and looked at Yun Xiao’s dull expression. His dark gaze condensed slightly and he was a little surprised. Normal people should have a look of fear when they encountered this kind of situation. However, the expression that appeared in Yun Xiao’s eyes was very complicated. There were dullness, frustration, hatred, and self-blame. All sorts of expressions appeared in her faint and dim eyes.

Rong Jin did not know why a girl in the inner mansion had such a wonderful expression. It was as if she had experienced a great tribulation. However, Yun Xiao, who he was investigating, had grown up in hiding under the wings of her parents everywhere.

He looked at the look of reminiscence and hatred on Yun Xiao’s face and whispered in her ear, “Fourth Young Lady, sit down.”

However, Yun Xiao still did not react in the slightest. Her expression was still dull and her gaze was dull. Although she looked ahead, the focus of her gaze was not in front of her.

Rong Jin frowned. He turned to look at Jiang Qing, who was still in battle. He nodded his head and shook the reins of his horse. The horse galloped forward.

The moment Rong Jin and Yun Xiao disappeared, Jiang Qing took out a cloud of smoke and released it. Not long after, the sound of horse hooves rang out not far away. In the blink of an eye, the horses had already arrived.

The sound of horse hooves rang out, as loud as the sound of stepping beside one’s ears. The black-clothed man on the horse was majestic and majestic, wielding a longsword in his hand. Everywhere he went, he was invincible, and a river of blood flowed everywhere he went.

After a blink of an eye, he saw that the ground was covered with corpses. The black-clothed man walked to the man standing in the middle and respectfully said, “Greetings, Master.”

Jiang Qing snorted coldly and directly instructed, “Go check if there are any people alive.” If someone survived, it would bring them a great disaster at that time.

Very quickly, the person who went to check came back and said respectfully, “Master, we have all been dealt with!”

Jiang Qing calmly nodded. Then, he threw down a token from his body and rode towards the direction where Rong Jin and Yun Xiao left.

In an instant, the figures of those people had disappeared.

At the same time, Zhou Jingyan was riding a horse carriage and leaving the Duke Xiao’s mansion. Just as he was halfway there, he saw a cloud of smoke rising from the south of the city.

Zhou Jingyan’s gaze turned cold and his heart skipped a beat. He had a bad idea. He frowned and immediately instructed the coachman, “Go to the refugee area in the south of the city immediately.”

Naturally, the coachman did not dare to have any doubts at this moment. He immediately turned the carriage around and ran towards the refugee area.

Because the commotion in the refugee area was too big, it quickly disturbed the governor of the capital. The governor of the capital took his men to investigate and happened to meet Zhou Jingyan. They arrived at the refugee area together.

When Zhou Jingyan saw the tragic situation in the refugee area, he couldn’t help but glance sideways with killing intent in the depths of his eyes! The hands on both sides of his body were tightly clenched together. He didn’t expect that all the people he had left here would be killed!

He must find out who killed him!

Zhou Jingyan, who was absent-minded for a moment, did not notice that the governor was still bending down to salute. Zhou Jingyan did not speak, so the others naturally did not dare to remind Zhou Jingyan.

The horse’s heavy breathing finally brought Zhou Jingyan back to his senses. He looked at the governor who was still saluting beside him and said with a smile, “Get up, what’s going on here?”

The governor didn’t dare to catch his breath and hurriedly said, “Reporting to the Third Prince, Xiaoguan has just sent someone to investigate. None of the refugees are alive.”

Zhou Jingyan originally had a glimmer of hope. He would have thought that someone was alive. Who would have thought that the other party would be so ruthless in killing the refugee area in the south of the city? It seemed that person must have known of his influence here. This was provoking him!

No matter how angry he was, his face was still warm. “Did you find any clues? Who exactly dared to kill so many people in the capital?” The Son of Heaven had always been heavily guarded, but no one knew that so many people had died here. The situation here was obviously very strange, but he did not know where exactly the situation was.

Although his voice could not hear any anger, cold sweat still broke out on the forehead of the governor. “Report to the Third Prince, Xiaguan has not found out that such a big thing happened in the capital. It was Xiaguan’s negligence.”

Zhou Jingyan’s cold gaze turned around on him, scaring the governor even more respectfully. He didn’t dare to say a word. Only then did Zhou Jingyan enter the middle of the corpses, wanting to find out if the murderer had left any clues.

As soon as the governor saw him walk in, he immediately chased after him and gave a dry cough before he said, “Third Prince, this place is filthy. Why don’t you go sit in the carriage for a while? This place will be investigated by Xiaoguan.”

Zhou Jingyan snorted coldly, “Let you investigate? You don’t even know that such a big thing happened in the capital. How can you investigate?” After he finished speaking, he ignored the embarrassment of the governor and walked in again.

Seeing this, the groom followed closely behind Zhou Jingyan. The governor wanted to stop him, but he was deeply afraid that he would provoke this master again. At the same time, doubts arose in his heart. The capital said that the Third Prince, Zhou Jingyan, was as gentle as jade and had a good temper. How could he be so destructive?

He didn’t dare to say anything and could only follow.

Zhou Jingyan kept walking inside, wanting to see if there were any traces left behind by his own people. He had just taken a few steps when he suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something. He frowned slightly and moved his foot away before lowering his head to check. He saw a token lying at his feet.

Zhou Jingyan bent over and picked up the token. His gaze was focused on the tiny black word “ten” above the token, while the word “kill” below the cross was ice-cold!

The moment he picked up the token, the governor of the capital naturally saw the traces on the token and exclaimed, “Ten Directions Palace?” Very few people from the Ten Directions Palace had come to the capital, but now, the token of the Ten Directions Palace was lying here.

None of them could imagine that other than the Ten Directions Palace, there was anyone else who could clean up the scene so cleanly when killing people. Furthermore, this token was obviously left behind by the people of the Ten Directions Palace on purpose.

The Ten Directions Palace was an assassin organization. The people in this organization were murderous. The Emperor had also sent many people to capture the people from the Ten Directions Palace. In the end, they all returned without success. Although they did not capture the people from the Ten Directions Palace, the people from the Ten Directions Palace did not come to the capital to kill people.

But now, the balance seemed to have been broken.

Zhou Jingyan held the token tightly. He hadn’t expected the people of the Ten Directions Palace to be so bold. Leaving the token behind was clearly a reminder to himself that they were stronger than him.

At this moment, Zhou Jingyan suddenly remembered that he had used the excuse of inviting the Ten Directions Palace to do something to rope in the people of the Ten Directions Palace to serve him. In the end, he was viciously ridiculed by the people of the Ten Directions Palace, and the Ten Directions Palace was his own shame!

And now, the people of the Ten Directions Palace had come to provoke him again!

“Third Prince, please show me, what should I do?” The governor didn’t expect it to be from the Ten Directions Palace. This time, it would be a big trouble. He didn’t dare to cause any trouble. He was deeply afraid that the Ten Directions Palace would cut off his head in his sleep one day.

The people of the Ten Directions Palace were like ghosts. It was said that they had never failed!

Zhou Jingyan came back to his senses when he heard the voice. Because his palm was too hard, he was also feeling a faint pain. He held the token in his hand and said, “Capture the people from the Ten Directions Palace. These refugees cannot die in vain. Otherwise, the capital will definitely be in a state of panic.”

The governor respectfully replied, his expression somewhat embarrassed. “Third Highness, I’m afraid that even all the manpower of Qingfu Government will not be able to capture the whereabouts of the Ten Directions Palace’s people.” He didn’t have the courage to go to the Ten Directions Palace to get someone.

Zhou Jingyan snorted coldly and said indifferently, “Since the people of the Ten Directions Palace dare to cause trouble in the capital, it is obvious that those people are still searching the capital from door to door! Just look for another reason. These are the matters of your governor. Dispose of all these corpses. Otherwise, if the people see the capital, they will surely be in chaos.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. His handsome face was no longer as gentle as before, and the killing intent in the depths of his eyes was not concealed at all!

The Ten Directions Palace, the Ten Directions Palace! He wanted these people to pay the price!

Upon hearing this, the governor immediately looked at Zhou Jingyan’s back respectfully and said, “Thank you, Third Prince.”

Seeing Zhou Jingyan’s figure leave, the governor immediately ordered his men to dispose of the corpses.

Zhou Jingyan sat in the carriage and listened to the sound of the carriage’s wheels spinning non-stop. His heart was not calm either. Everything that had happened today was too unusual.

Three people had disappeared from the Third Prince’s mansion, and his own plans had been completely destroyed. Who exactly had such a big grudge against him?

Zhou Jingyan’s eyes lit up. He seemed to understand something and snorted coldly, “Hurry back to the manor!”
