Madam let me die

Chapter 595 Protecting the Queen
"Boom boom... boom boom boom..."

The dull and intermittent knocking on the door echoed in the alley.

Li Nanke followed Sun Xiaoyuan's method of knocking on the door twice and then stopped, waiting for the reaction of the contact person in the room.

After about ten seconds, an old man in green clothes walked out of the room.

It was the underworld personnel who had contacted Sun Xiaoyuan before.

The old man in green had confusion on his face.

After all, the God Envoy left not long ago, so why did he suddenly come back.

To be on the safe side, he planned to look through the hidden crack in the door to see who was coming outside.But as soon as he pressed his body against the door, a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.

boom!
The firecracker spurted out hot and ferocious flames and penetrated the wooden door.

When the old man in green clothes sensed the crisis, he subconsciously dodged to the other side, barely avoiding the incoming conical copper bullets with explosive power.

But the next second, a sharp sword light passed through the wooden door and appeared at the place where he had dodged.

It seems that the other party has already planned it.

The sword light is extremely fast, leaving no time to dodge.

puff!
Blood droplets flew up.

The old man in green screamed, staggered back a few steps, and a shocking bloody gash was cut on his chest by a sharp blade.

Before the old man in Tsing Yi could react, Nie Ying, who had already been in ambush, heard Li Nanke shout "do it" outside the door, and appeared behind the old man in Tsing Yi like a ghost.

The woman waved her arms, and the Emei thorn in her hand plunged directly into the back of the old man in green.

The old man screamed again, but endured the pain and turned to attack Nie Ying.

Li Nanke, who was outside, heard the sound of fighting, pushed the door open, and loaded the ammunition for the firecracker.

He raised his firecracker and pointed it at the two fighting men.

After looking at it for a moment, he lowered his arm again.

Judging from the situation, Nie Ying already had the absolute upper hand and there was no need for him to take action again.

Sure enough, with several bone cracks and wails, the old man in green fell heavily to the ground and was unable to get up again. His legs and arms were all fractured by Nie Ying.

"This guy is a master. Fortunately, you took action."

Nie Ying clapped her hands.

Li Nanke looked at her with concern and said, "The wound doesn't matter."

"Wound?" Nie Ying checked her body doubtfully, "I'm not injured."

"The wound doesn't matter."

Li Nanke repeated it again.

"I do not--"

Noticing the position of the man's gaze, Nie Ying suddenly understood the meaning of the other person's words. A red cloud suddenly appeared on her cold and charming face, and she glared at the man fiercely, "If you want to die, just tell me."

Li Nanke wisely put aside the topic, glanced at the old man in green who was staring at him fiercely on the ground, and said calmly: "Let's punish him first, I want to make sure he tells me the truth."

Li Nanke didn't want to waste time.

As a high-ranking official of the Shadow Guard, Nie Ying's methods of interrogating prisoners were not much different.

"here?"

"Right here. Hurry up, I have other things to do."

"Row."

Nie Ying asked no more questions, tore off a piece of cloth from the old man's body, twisted it into a ball, and stuffed it into his mouth to prevent him from screaming or committing suicide.

Just as he was about to be executed, the woman looked up at the man, slightly pursed her red lips and said, "Turn around first."

"Need not."

"Turn around!" the woman emphasized again.

For some reason, Nie Ying didn't want men to witness her ruthless and cold-blooded side.

Li Nanke felt confused and had to turn around.

Soon, he heard the painful whine of the old man in green.

After about half a stick of incense, Li Nanke could no longer hear the old man's groan of pain.Just when he was worried that Nie Ying would accidentally kill the old man, the woman patted his shoulder.

"Okay, let's ask."

Li Nanke turned around.

Nie Ying pulled a sheet from nowhere and covered the old man, revealing only a bloody head.

"Don't open it, you'll puke."

Nie Ying kindly reminded her and walked to the water tank at the door to wash the blood off her hands.

Li Nanke knelt down and frowned at the bloody mouth where several of the old man's teeth had been broken. He wondered whether this guy could still speak. "Sun Xiaoyuan is from your underworld, right?"

"She is...the envoy of God."

Fortunately, although the old man's voice was weak and muffled, Li Nanke could hear him clearly.

Li Nanke asked again: "Besides her, are there any people from the underworld hiding around the eldest princess?"

"……Gone."

Every time the old man said a word, blood would overflow from his throat.

"Are you sure there's only one person?"

"I am very sure."

"Who is the real owner of the underworld?"

"I...I don't know..."

"do not know?"

Li Nanke looked up at Nie Ying who had finished washing his hands. The latter shrugged, "He is telling the truth and he will not lie at this time."

Li Nanke nodded and continued to interrogate, "What are the plans of the underworld on New Year's Eve?"

When the old man heard this question, he was obviously hesitant, but when he saw Nie Ying approaching, his eyes filled with fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "I don't know the specific plan of the underworld... The Lord God Envoy only arranged for me to be there on New Year's Eve. Ye...cooperate with other members to protect one person."

"Protector? Who is it?"

The other party's answer was beyond Li Nanke's expectation.

"Queen."

"what?"

Li Nanke was stunned.

Isn't the target of the underworld on New Year's Eve the mysterious old man trapped in the underground palace?

Why did she become the protective queen again?

"Are you sure this is your mission? Why are you asked to protect the queen?" Li Nanke realized that there were other things hidden in this.

Could it be that the Queen was also involved in some secret plan?
"Yes, it is indeed this. As for the reason, I don't know. I only obey the orders from above." The old man said.

"In addition to protecting the queen, does the underworld have other plans?"

"Yes, but I don't know what their plan is."

"interesting."

Li Nanke fell into deep thought.

Next, he asked some more about the situation in the underworld. After all the information provided by the old man, Li Nanke ended the interrogation and asked Nie Ying to kill the old man.

When disposing of the corpse, Li Nanke got a bone whistle from the opponent.

This bone whistle was used by the underworld to control the fake empress dowager Huo Yingying.

But because the real bone whistle was on Li Nanke, the bone whistle on the old man was a forgery.

But even in disguise, Li Nanke has a use.

"Where to go next?"

Nie Ying's mind was completely confused at this moment.

The underworld actually sent people to protect the queen.

No one would believe this, it was too ridiculous.

It was as if the queen was their spy installed in the palace.

"Go to the palace."

"It's inappropriate to go to the palace at this time..." Nie Ying looked hesitant, thinking that Li Nanke was going to find the queen.

"Go find the eldest princess."

Li Nanke said, "Now that we have determined that Sun Xiaoyuan is the only member of the underworld around Yue'er, we can pull out this nail in advance to prevent future troubles."

"Will it alert the enemy?" Nie Ying frowned.

Li Nanke smiled slightly, "The plan has been formulated for so long, and now there is not much time. As long as there are no devastating changes, it is impossible for the underworld to change."

"Too."

Nie Ying nodded and took Li Nanke on the carriage to the palace.

On the carriage, Li Nanke wrote the word "Queen" on the palm of his hand and was lost in thought.

"After investigating for so long, this woman has always been ignored. Is she a chess piece?"
