After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

The ship sailed on the sea for a month and finally landed in the sea. I stayed on the ship for so long that I felt light when I stepped on the ground.

Bai Yu couldn't help but say, "It's better to be down to earth."

Qing He Yun Ni had been waiting at the shore with her men since half a month ago, and greeted them happily, "My Lord, you are back!"

They did not rush back to Xiangchu immediately. It would take another seven or eight days to walk from here to Xiangchu. They had to rest before setting off again, otherwise their bodies would not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, Qinghe Yunni had already arranged everything and prepared several carriages to take them to the house in the nearby Changle Town to rest.

In the carriage, Shen Zhaoyan's face was very pale. Although he was taking drugs to suppress his symptoms, he still felt very uncomfortable when the drug addiction and cold poison took effect at the same time. He usually suffered alone in the room.

He leaned listlessly on Jiang Xue Ning's shoulder. She patted his head and said, "When we get to the house, take a hot bath and have a good rest."

Shen Zhaoyan hummed softly, then took advantage of the situation and hugged her.

Just as they were walking for a while, the woman selling cakes at the shore also walked away carrying a large basket of cakes.

She turned into a house across the street from their residence and knocked gently on the door. The door opened from the inside, she slipped in, untied the headscarf on her head, and asked, "Where's your hair?"

"upstairs."

The woman's name was Qing Huan, a rare woman in the Jinyiwei. Being able to become a Jinyiwei as a woman, she must be very capable, so she has been Xiao Wuji's right-hand man for the past two years.

Qing Huan brought wine and cakes to the second floor, where Xiao Wu Ji was playing the qin. Although she didn't know how to play the qin, she recognized at a glance that the qin on the table that glowed green was the famous "Lu Qi."

The piano music stopped, Xiao Wuji looked up at her, "What happened?"

"The people have arrived. I also saw Yunzhou King Shen Zhaoyan next to Xiang King."

Xiao Wuji's eyes flashed coldly, "Really?"

He came from Shengjing in disguise with his men. They had to dock in Canghai when returning from the East China Sea, so he waited here patiently.

Naturally, they recognized Qinghe and sent people to follow her secretly, and finally found the house where she lived.

"According to my observation, the people following the King of Xiang are very powerful in martial arts. This assassination mission is very dangerous." Qing Huan's eyes flashed with darkness and he took the initiative to say, "This time, I will take care of the assassination. I have already figured out the terrain."

Xiao Wuji took the wine she brought, opened it and took a big sip, "I'll come in person this time."

"Commander, this time is very dangerous. You can't get into trouble."

He smiled faintly and said sarcastically, "People in our line of work live on the edge of a knife, either killing or being killed."

In fact, everyone knew that this mission was impossible to escape unscathed. However, the emperor's order was hard to disobey, so everyone came with the determination to die.

Xiao Wuji may not be a good person, but he is a good commander, and Qinghuan herself, as a woman, has been taken care of a lot by him.

"I will do it myself, regardless of success or failure. If you can escape alive, you will be free from now on."

The deputy commander at the side asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Wuji threw the token to him and said, "No matter what this mission is like, this is our last mission. We will disband after this."

This time he brought almost the most elite forces of the Jinyiwei, who were also his brothers who traveled with him in the dark.

"Boss..."

Qing Huan and the deputy commander looked at each other and felt extremely uneasy. The more he said this, the more ominous it seemed to them.

"Boss, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Wuji drank the wine and said without a trace of emotion, "Your Majesty has issued me a death order that only success is allowed and failure is not allowed."

Qing Huan said anxiously, "How could this be..."

"So, I will personally carry out the assassination. No matter what the result is, the mission is over the moment I take action. You must try your best to escape without looking back. Get out of here and never be found."

"I won't run away. I will fight with you till the end." Qing Huan said passionately.

The deputy commander laughed and said, "We have walked side by side countless times and brushed shoulders with death. This time, we will still fight together to the end."

Most of them had miserable life stories. They survived battle after battle, but they were just knives that became more and more useful in the hands of the superiors.

People die every time they go on a mission. They are so used to seeing death and blood that they have long been numb.

They always cooperated well and never cried when their companions died, because people like them were not allowed to shed tears. But at the same time, they never betrayed or abandoned others.

Xiao Wuji said coldly, "This is my order, you must execute it."

The deputy commander slammed the embroidered spring knife in his hand on the table, "If we're going to die, we're going to die together. If we're going to kill, we're going to kill to the end!"

Xiao Wuji's expression softened a bit, and some memories flashed in his eyes, "You have all heard about me, right? I was rescued and raised by Princess Chen, and she also taught me martial arts, but I betrayed her."

The two listened quietly without saying anything.

"So this assassination has nothing to do with orders. It is my destiny, and I owe it to her." He said frankly, "It is a good ending for my life to end here."

"Boss..." The deputy commander opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Xiao Wuji continued, "Although I am still alive, I have already died. You are different. Your life has just begun. You still have choices."

"If you are lucky enough to escape alive, please go see the outside world for me and live a normal life. During the Qingming Festival, please pour me a few more glasses of wine."

Qinghuan felt extremely upset, but didn't say anything more.

Xiao Wuji said, "Go ahead and distribute the banknotes to everyone."

After the two of them left, faint piano music could be heard from upstairs, which made the listeners feel sad.

Qing Huan whispered, "That Lu Qi was a gift from Prince Chen to Princess Chen, right? The commander must have loved it..."

The deputy commander had been with Xiao Wuji for much longer than she had, and knew more about the inside story. "It's hard not to fall in love with a woman like that."

"Then...why did you betray me? If you didn't betray me, would everything be different?"

"Who in our line of work does this voluntarily? Everyone has their own difficulties. But there is no if in this world. Betrayal is betrayal...there is no going back."

He witnessed Xiao Wuzhi's betrayal with his own eyes, and also witnessed how he struggled and suffered, and then became a cold-blooded murderer.

Qing Huan still didn't understand, and just sighed, "What is love in this world? It only makes people's hearts break."

The word love is the most unsolvable.

"Let's go, it's his choice."

He knew better than anyone how important that person was to Xiao Wuji, so he knew that even if this was a dead end, Xiao Wuji would go without hesitation.
