Planning to marry the third master

Chapter 416 Strangulation

There were no insects chirping in the dark night, and the autumn wind was blowing, and the temperature suddenly turned cold.

At the second watch, the prison was still busy, rushing to add bedding for the emperor, and every brother in the cell had one.

General Qilin was the most careless person, and a slight snoring sound could be heard from his cell. However, General Qilin also said that the patrol would be relaxed only after the night market closed, so it was best to rest before that.

The snoring made some people drowsy, and with the new bedding, even the emperor fell asleep. Everyone was wondering if there was really someone robbing the prisoners today, and even the prisoners themselves were sleeping soundly.

Duke Du was worried. Prince Yu's style was easy for people to plot against, and his son was close to Prince Yu and could be easily used. At this time, he was powerless to do anything, and all he could do was ask for the blessing of his ancestors.

At three quarters past midnight, Xie Yunxiao, half asleep and half awake, suddenly sat up with his eyes slightly narrowed.

There was only one oil lamp in the pitch-black night, which was dark and dim. It swayed twice, and a shadow blocked the light in the narrow corridor, making it even darker.

The emperor and Xie Yunxiao were close, separated only by a fence. He had not slept well to begin with, and the slightest noise made him open his eyes immediately.

Xie Yunxiao didn't say anything and waited quietly for someone to enter the cell.

Someone saw General Qilin sit up and pat his companions, and gradually everyone became alert.

What is the strangulation moment? Xie Yunxiao thought of the brothers who protected him falling down in front of him one by one, and each of them protecting him with his life before death. The anger in his heart surged like never before. Today is the time for revenge.

There were a lot of people coming, and their target was General Qilin. When the leader saw Xie Yunxiao, he couldn't believe it, thinking that he was really lucky.

Who is today's bait?

Their eyes met, he looked at the preparations in the prison, and said, "You designed it!"

Xie Yunxiao took out the prepared dagger, his dark eyes were gloomy, and he bandaged it in front of everyone, his murderous aura was revealed, and he said in a cold voice: "You will suffer the same fate as I did before."

Through the bars, both of them were filled with murderous intent. The sound of swords and knives was heard outside. There were already more than a dozen killers in the cell, and there were more outside.

The emperor's face couldn't be gloomier now, and the guards of the Ministry of Justice were also ready for a big fight.

Xie Yunxiao and the killer leader Pang Chi kicked the fence at the same time. A huge noise echoed throughout the cell. A battle was about to break out. Xie Yunxiao took the initiative with the hidden weapon on his wrist and gained the upper hand.

It was just three silver needles. Pang Qi pulled them out quickly and said, "You know you are no match for me. You want to kill me with just this little trick. You are too naive!"

Xie Yunxiao said nothing, but stepped forward with a dagger in his hand. There were two masters in a small cell, fighting back and forth. The Minister of Justice was protecting the emperor. Everyone thought that there would be a few killers and the people of the Ministry of Justice would be more than enough to deal with them. He never thought that the situation was not something he could control.

Even the emperor felt that he was overthinking it.

The people outside rushed in, and the cell was soon filled with dead and wounded, and blood was everywhere.

Lu Jiang and Lu Hai rushed to the front, shouting slogans: "Revenge for the dead brothers! Kill!"

The Chao and Zong generations from Feiyu Academy, as well as Lu Jiang and Lu Hai, were all brothers who trained together back then. They were truly brought up by Xie Yunxiao himself, who grew up together and were as close as brothers. Today’s hunting was also a way to commemorate them.

The people in the Ministry of Justice were not very skilled. The leader looked at the situation and said, "Withdraw to protect the emperor!" in order not to hurt his brothers.

The small cell held too many people. It was too late for the men in black to retreat, and the killer had no room to retreat either.

Xie Yunxiao was good at close combat, and he was stabbed by the man in black. As long as he didn't move away, he would always have the upper hand. Close combat was fatal, and everyone watched how General Qilin killed the enemy. They gritted their teeth and wished they could help.

Even if he got hit by two heavy punches, it was still a win compared to a sharp blade piercing his body.

Until finally, one of them became increasingly powerless with his punches, while the knife stabbed more than a dozen times and was still stabbing.

Xie Yunxiao didn't stop until the man was dying. He said coldly, "Fifteen!"

Pang Qi actually laughed. After his brothers died, he never thought about avenging them. At this moment, he actually felt that dying at his hands was worth it.

When Chao saw the injured Third Master lying on the ground, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Master! How are you?"

Xie Yunxiao propped himself up, loosened the bandage on his hand, put away the dagger, looked at the person on the ground and asked, "What's your name?"

Pang Zhu smiled and said weakly, "A nobody."

Xie Yunxiao watched the man close his eyes, then said, "Withdraw."

"Yes!"

The group of people supported Xie Yunxiao, stepped over the corpse on the ground, and left.

The group just left like that without even saying goodbye. Did they not take the emperor seriously?

Everyone who saw it was so shocked that they were speechless!

After a while, the emperor said, "Go and see if there are any survivors and who ordered this."

The Minister of Justice immediately ordered people to work.

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice and Yu Huai outside hurried into the cell to see what was going on. Yu Huai, in particular, was still trembling with fear. He said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I was so scared. I thought we could capture them alive with only a few assassins. I never thought there were so many assassins. I almost thought they were coming for your Majesty."

The emperor had a cold face, and he didn't understand what was going on today. The leader was obviously acquainted with Baili Jimo, so could it be possible that they had already met several times? If so, it would make sense. Why did he know so much and deploy so carefully? He looked at the cell opposite and asked, "Did anyone see them heading towards the cell opposite?"

Someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, someone was about to take action, but we blocked him."

The emperor nodded and said, then we should still come for the prisoners. With such a big fuss, how many secrets must be known?

The Minister of Justice said, "Your Majesty, there is still one person who is still breathing."

The emperor said in a cold voice: "Send someone to treat him, and make sure to find out who is behind this!"

It must cost a lot of money to support so many people, and they must be powerful people.

The emperor already had the answer in his heart, but...

When Xie Yunxiao returned home, it was almost dawn. After bandaging the wound, Xie Yunxiao went back to his room, lay down gently, and gently held Feng Zhuohua in his arms.

Feng Zhuohua opened his eyes and muttered, "I'm back. Why are you back so late?" Then he fell asleep again.

Xie Yunxiao hugged the person in his arms tighter, knowing that she had waited for him very late yesterday, and then closed his eyes with peace of mind.

The emperor also returned to the palace, and Duke Du went back home, changed into court clothes, and immediately went to court without asking about anything at home.

As the dawn broke and the city gates opened, a group of people headed out of the capital.

Prince Yu did not expect that the people he sent out would be wiped out, and he did not expect that his father would come out from the Ministry of Justice. All this forced him to the last step.

Du Chengmao was persuaded, got the military token, and followed Prince Yu out of Bianliang.

Hu Cong stood on the city gate, watching the group of people go away, looked at the sky, and then turned around...
