The toughest man in the city

Chapter 267 I'm Here

With the point of the knife right in front of her chest, Qing Wu didn't even have the slightest bit of defense, which made it hard for Shi Lan to accept.

They were both female envoys trained by the king. Even if there was a gap in strength between them, they should not have had the slightest reaction when they were about to die.

"Does the existence of that guy make you so at ease?"

Shi Lan whispered softly, and silently took two steps back.

There was a click, the light switch rang softly, and the lights in the room were brightly lit. Finally, Qing Wu, who was sleeping soundly, moved slightly, her eyelids trembled slightly, and she subconsciously reached out to grab something.

But after groping for a while and unable to touch Li Xiao's hand, Qing Wu finally felt a strong sense of crisis and suddenly opened her eyes.

Li Xiao disappeared, and in sight, there was only a woman in night clothes with a black veil covering her face.

She didn't need to look at the appearance under the black veil, she could guess the identity of the other party.

At this moment, she was much calmer.

"Your Majesty still won't let me go, will you?"

Full of sad questions.

Shi Lan just gently played with the dagger in her hand, without any response.

She couldn't respond either.

From Shilan's point of view, she didn't even know how Qing Wu died. She only knew that there was news from the king that the Dancer failed in her mission and died. If there is a suitable candidate, then she can fill the vacancy of the Dancer.

Some time ago, seeing Qing Wu still alive was enough to shock her.

Due to selfish motives, she did not report this matter to the king, she simply thought that Qing Wu should die, how could she possibly answer the other party's question.

After a long silence, Qing Wu turned to ask: "Where is Li Xiao? Sister, you are already strong enough to take him away from me alive. Don't you alarm me?"

"How do you know he's still alive?"

Shi Lan finally spoke.

This rhetorical question was nothing more than curiosity, but the answer she got from Qing Wu caused waves in her originally calm heart.

Qingwu raised her hand slightly, revealing her smooth arms, and said with a sad smile: "Mandarin duck Gu. I don't know if it's just me, or all our sisters are like this. Your Majesty lied to me, this is not the last resort to perish together." !”

With these words, Shi Lan subconsciously looked at her wrist.

Ever since I can remember, the thing that has been worn on the body is imprinted with the life imprint added by the great elder with a secret method. It is said that it is the ultimate means that can make them die together with the irresistible enemy at the most critical moment.

Now Qingwu tells her that everything is fake.

Could Shi Lan not be shocked?

It was her inability to hide the shock that made Qing Wu realize something.

"You don't know? You don't even know how I died? You were not sent by the king!"

According to Qing Wu's understanding, if Shilan had already reported the news to the king, at least she should know why she must die.

Ke Shilan's ignorance at this moment made her mind active.

"You're starting to doubt the king, right? Let me go, let me hide, and when the king wants to give up on you one day, we will join hands to resist."

It's rare for Qing Wu to change her mind so quickly, and now she's ready to instigate her companions.

It's a pity that even if Shilan concealed some things, her loyalty to the king that has been cultivated over the years will not be eliminated just because of her few words.

"Qingwu, you must die. If you die in my hands, you'd better go to the king's side and suffer all kinds of tortures to die. Answer my last question, and I'll send you away."

Shi Lan gave up studying the bracelet and bell on her hand, looked up into Qing Wu's eyes, and asked seriously: "Is it that Li Xiao who made you survive?"

"Li Xiao? Just relying on him, hehe, a reckless man with a little bit of strength, how can he change what the king believes. I just guessed that when the king gave us this mandarin duck Gu, he didn't think about it at all. really let us die."

Speaking of Li Xiao, the contempt in Qing Wu's tone was so obvious.

Shi Lan thought it was funny.

Qing Wu clearly regarded Li Xiao as the most trustworthy person in her heart, but she didn't know it.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that Qing Wu said something wrong again.

The king really thought she was dead.

That is to say, the fact that Qing Wu is still alive has even deceived the omnipotent king in their eyes.

All this can only be attributed to Li Xiao.

It's no wonder that he was able to win the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens designed by the king himself, and he was indeed the person the king was looking for.

"You still don't know what's special about that Li Xiao?"

"What's so special about him?"

"Well then, you can die."

At the end of the conversation, Shilan's figure swayed, and she became murderous.

She already knew what she should know, and Qing Wu couldn't answer what she wanted to find out, so it was just a waste of time to continue talking.

Qing Wu obviously showed a look of resignation, but when Shi Lan really came to kill her, she didn't just wait for her death with peace of mind.

The two women fought with almost all their strength in the small bedroom.

As Qing Wu imagined before, according to the order of the eight female envoys under the king, she is not Shilan's opponent at all, even if she has the intention of running away, she tries to break through the window and leave.After being wrapped around the neck by Shi Lan's sudden throw of the ribbon, everything became futile.

"For the sake of our sisters, if you have any other wishes, tell me."

"wish?"

Qing Wu closed her eyes, very inexplicably, at the last moment of her life, the appearance of Li Xiao appeared in her mind.

She wanted Shi Lan to let Li Xiao go.

But when she thought about the existence of the mandarin duck Gu, if she died, Li Xiao wouldn't be able to survive, so what's the point of begging to be let go.

"Sisters love each other deeply? Hehe, if you still think we are sisters, then you should know that my fate will be yours sooner or later. Even life and death, the king can deceive us, what can't be deceived. After all these years, does it make sense to give up your ego and go allegiance blindly?"

"Qing Wu, just based on your words, you deserve to die."

"Yes, I deserve to die, and the more damned person is the king! But there is an afterlife, I just want to be an ordinary person, not a puppet ordered by others at will."

When a person is about to die, his mentality is insane.

However, what Qing Wu said also touched Shi Lan.

If she hadn't wavered a bit, how could she have concealed Li Xiao's matter privately.

Should Qingwu be kept as a back-up to deal with emergencies in the future?
As soon as this idea came up, Shi Lan's heart throbbed violently. It was the huge psychological shadow that the king had left on her for many years.

I did not betray, and concealment does not mean rebellion.

"Qing Wu, don't blame me. May you be an ordinary person in your next life."

The ribbon in his hand was pulled back abruptly, and the cold dagger aimed at Qing Wu's back of the neck and pierced it.

Qing Wu closed her eyes, waiting for the last moment of her life to come.

Suddenly, the window of the bedroom shattered, and a brick flew over like a cannonball, hitting Shilan's arm holding the knife.

"As long as I'm here, no one can kill her!"
