I, living in the Qin Dynasty, never intended to advance.

Mrs. Hu's firm and calm expression turned into a provocation in Liu Yi's eyes. It was a naked provocation to a man.

"So you care about these things?" Mrs. Hu struggled to stand up.

"You? You..." Liu Yi's hands were shaking with anger. How dare this woman do this?

"I was no longer a virgin before I married you. Didn't you not care at that time?" Mrs. Hu asked back.

"You, you..." Liu Yi was speechless.

"I always thought you didn't care." Mrs. Hu now only wanted to confirm the fact of adultery that Liu Yi believed, in order to cover up the fact that Nanyue existed.

"I will kill you, you bitch." Liu Yi completely collapsed. He slapped the table beside him, breaking the solid wood table into pieces. He took a step forward and pulled out the long sword from the wooden frame.

Liu Yi pointed his sword at the woman he loved most and approached her step by step. He saw a look of fear on Mrs. Hu's face.

"Bitch, you're scared now, but it's too late." Liu Yi approached Mrs. Hu step by step. Mrs. Hu's panic turned into something else in his sight.

At this moment, Liu Yi suddenly discovered that destroying someone he liked was more pleasurable than simply liking him.

Liu Yi's sword was already against Mrs. Hu's heart. At this moment, Mrs. Hu's face had lost all color, and there was only fear. She even forgot to dodge.

"Bitch, go to hell." Liu Yi, who had completely gone insane, was about to stab hard, but at this moment, he felt a piercing pain, and a bloody sword blade suddenly emerged from his heart.

"How is this possible? Who is it?" Liu Yi, whose heart was pierced, lost all his strength with the sudden sword. He turned around with difficulty and saw a sloppy man in tattered clothes and stinking body standing there. It was he who pierced his heart with a sword from behind.

"Is it you?" Countless figures flashed through Liu Yi's mind, and finally stopped on a figure that should have been dead and could no longer exist.

"It's me." Li Kai looked at Liu Yi in front of him. There was no satisfaction of revenge on his face, but only a hint of sadness.

Even if Liu Yi was killed, what would it matter? What he lost could never be found again. The high-spirited Right Sima of Han State died after all, and the one who was alive now was just a walking corpse.

If Liu Yi had not wanted to kill Madam Hu today, Li Kai would never have taken action, let alone shown up. He could not seek revenge for himself, but he could never sit idly by and watch Liu Yi hurt Madam Hu.

"Okay, okay, okay. I didn't expect that I, Liu Yi, would have this day." Liu Yi smiled bitterly. The remaining strength could no longer support his body. He fell down limply. A trail of blood bloomed under his body, that was the lost life.

Mrs. Hu looked at the scene in front of her, expressions of shock, fear, and surprise constantly intertwined on her face. She could only bite her hand to prevent herself from making any sound.

"Are you okay?" Li Kai looked at Mrs. Hu in front of him, and a look of tenderness appeared on his old face.

"Are you really still alive? I knew you were not dead. I knew you must be alive. Why didn't you come to see me after all these years?" Mrs. Hu walked forward and was about to hug Li Kai, crying.

But Li Kai dodged it. In front of Mrs. Hu's puzzled look, Li Kai said, "I am now half crippled."

"I don't mind. I won't dislike you." Mrs. Hu said quickly.

The tenderness on Mrs. Hu's face made Li Kai more determined in his thoughts: Since I can no longer give you happiness, I cannot prevent others from giving you happiness.

Thinking about what he saw today and the words Liu Yi said when he vowed to kill Madam Hu, Li Kai was able to come to a conclusion: the person Madam Hu wanted love from was no longer him, and Madam Hu already had someone she loved again.

After coming to this conclusion, Li Kai only hoped that Mrs. Hu could live a better life. He didn't want to drag Mrs. Hu down because of himself.

So in the face of Mrs. Hu's tenderness, Li Kai just said indifferently: "Madam, don't misunderstand, I came here today just for revenge, it has nothing to do with you."

"Revenge? Because he took me away?" Seeing Li Kai's indifference, Mrs. Hu's heart sank, but she still had a glimmer of hope.

"Madam, please don't misunderstand. The revenge I mentioned is only because Liu Yi colluded with the Baiyue rebels, leaked military intelligence, and framed me. As for you..." Li Kai looked at Madam Hu, his eyes revealing reluctance and pity, but in the end it turned into determination.

"You were just a tool of mine back then. I followed the prince's order to seize the treasure of Fire Rain Villa, so I got close to you." Li Kai possessed and cut off Liu Yi's head, holding it in his hand. The bloody head was particularly scary, but to Mrs. Hu, it was not as frightening as his words.

"I'm just a tool?" Mrs. Hu murmured. The only relationship that she had buried deep in her heart for many years collapsed.

"You are just a tool for me to get the treasure of Huoyu Villa, just a tool for me to complete my orders." Li Kai said painfully. How could he bear to hurt the woman he loved most, but he had no choice but to do so. He did this for Mrs. Hu's own good, so that Mrs. Hu could continue to live without burden, and so that Mrs. Hu could have a new and complete relationship.

"You are all bad people, all bastards." Mrs. Hu shouted angrily while crying, she collapsed.

"Yeah, we are all bastards." Li Kai muttered to himself, turned and left. He still had one last thing to do for Mrs. Hu.

"You are all bad people, all bastards." Mrs. Hu, who fell powerlessly on the ground, kept talking to herself as she looked at Liu Yi's headless body. She found her daughter tonight, but she also lost something equally important.

"Is everything about me a joke?" Mrs. Hu looked out the window. The moon was high in the sky, and the moonlight was flawless, but all she saw was filth. This was a dirty world.

On a rooftop outside, Mo Ya and Bai Feng watched everything that happened in Zuo Sima's mansion. These two top killers in the Night Sky looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Yang Chong and Madam Hu, Liu Yi and Li Kai?

"Has Yang Chong completed his mission?" Bai Feng spoke after a long time. What happened tonight overturned his cognition.

"It seems so. Now that Liu Yi is dead, the murderer was Li Kai who should have died. And he was the king's man, so no one would suspect the general." Mo Ya said, feeling as if something was stuck in his throat, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"So all this was guided by Yang Chong?" Bai Feng asked, with a confused look on his face, confusion in his eyes, and a hint of fear.

"That should be it!" Mo Ya said uncertainly. He had killed many people, including bandits who were rampant, high-ranking officials and nobles who went in and out of the court, and ordinary people, but he had never killed anyone like Yang Chong.

"Who is he?" Bai Feng asked.

"I don't know, but he is a very scary person." said Mo Ya.

Liu Yi, the left Sima of Han, died in his own mansion. This was a major event that was enough to shock the entire Han Dynasty.

Just when rumors were spreading throughout the Kingdom of Han about Liu Yi's death and people's hearts were unsettled, a man who was supposed to be dead appeared in front of the gate of the King of Han's palace holding Liu Yi's head when the ministers of Han were attending court.

Amid the shocked gazes, the man held up Liu Yi's head and said, "The murderer is Li Kai!"

Chapter 87: The Third Level of Killing

Li Kai, who appeared in front of the palace holding Liu Yi's head, was quickly captured by the imperial guards, and the court meeting continued.

After the court meeting, the King of Han returned to the harem and did not stop there. He went directly to the prison where Li Kai was imprisoned.

The Right Sima, who had been dead for many years, killed the current Left Sima. This was really too outrageous, but what Han Wangan saw was not just outrageous, he also saw other things.

In the corridor of the prison that was too narrow for Han Wangan's fat body, Han Wangan saw Li Kai who was imprisoned in shackles, and a look of reminiscence emerged in his eyes.

"The king is here?" Li Kai glanced at Han Wangan and said very calmly.

"Why do you want to kill Liu Yi?" asked Han Wangan.

"Don't you know, Your Majesty?" Li Kai asked in return. Back then, he was framed by Liu Yi, and his entire army was wiped out, and he himself almost died. If these alone were not enough for him to hide his identity and live in disgrace.

What Li Kai was really afraid of was not Liu Yi, but Han Wangan.

Liu Yi did not get the treasure of Huoyu Villa back then. When Liu Yi and the bandits destroyed Huoyu Villa, there was no treasure left in Huoyu Villa. Those treasures had been presented to Han An, who was the prince at that time, by Huoyu Gong, the father of Madam Hu and her sisters.

Han An gave those treasures to the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, and bought the so-called military merit from the commander-in-chief of the Chu army. Han An also used the military merit he bought to completely consolidate his position as the crown prince and became the current King An of Han.

Li Kai was an insider and participant in this matter. So after encountering the incident, even though he was still alive, he did not dare to show up in public and could only live in a miserable way. When he killed Liu Yi in order to protect Madam Hu, he knew that he could not survive, because not only the general Ji Wuye would not let him live, but also King Han An would not let him live.

"You shouldn't have shown up." Han Wangan looked at the old and ugly Li Kai in front of him. It was hard to connect him with the heroic Li Kai who became the Right Sima of Han State at the age of only 30. Han Wangan knew the reason, but he did not feel a trace of guilt. If one wanted to ascend the throne, naturally there had to be many sacrifices.

The world is so big, and there are tens of millions of living beings, but there are only seven people in the world who can ascend to the throne.

"I have to show up. The king has his own ambitions, and I also have people I need to protect." Li Kai sighed.

"You commit suicide. I will protect the person you want to protect and make her live a good life." Han Wangan's thoughts turned into determination. Li Kai can live, but Li Kai, the right Sima of Han, must die. He can't let others get the secret of the year from Li Kai's mouth. He is the king, and he will not allow the darkness in himself to be seen by others.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Kai appeared in front of King Han's palace holding Liu Yi's head. He wanted to use his life to do one last thing for Madam Hu. That silly woman was always so stupid and so weak. If no one protected her, she would not survive.

"Take care of yourself." Han Wangan looked at Li Kai again, turned and left. He had already done his best by coming to see Li Kai for the last time.

"Your servant Li Kai, the right Sima, pays farewell to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Li Kai bowed to Han Wangan's back and hit his head against the wall of the cell.

With a muffled sound, Li Kai, the Right Sima of Han State, disappeared from the world.

The movement behind him made King Han An sigh. For the throne, some sacrifices were worth it.

After returning to the palace, King Han An came to the palace where Concubine Hu was.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the assassin who tried to assassinate Zuo Sima has been caught?" The petite but hot-tempered Lady Hu greeted King Han An, her pair of pure yet charming peach blossom eyes flashing with curiosity.

Han Wangan embraced the beauty in front of him and said nonchalantly: "He has been caught. He is just a lunatic. He has committed suicide."

"Committed suicide? I heard that the man called himself the Right Sima Li Kai?" asked Lady Hu.

Concubine Hu was very clear about the complicated relationship between her sister and Li Kai and Li Yi. Now that Li Kai, who was supposed to be dead, had killed Liu Yi, how would her sister cope with the situation? Concubine Hu was very concerned because her sister was her only relative in this world.

"Li Kai died a long time ago. There is no Li Kai anymore. He is just an impostor. Your sister has recently lost her husband. I think she must be very sad. As her younger sister, you can show some concern for her and see if she needs any help." Han Wangan interrupted Lady Hu's curiosity.

Is there a secret that you don't want me to know? Han Wangan's reaction made Lady Hu see something unusual, but she knew the rules of survival in the palace and knew that she shouldn't be curious now, so she said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of my sister."

Compared with the different thoughts in the Palace of King Han, at this time there was singing and dancing in the General's Mansion.

"Liu Yi is dead, just like that, it's a good death. The king has lost another arm this time." Ji Wuye laughed wildly.

"So we should celebrate properly." The Jade Tiger, who was wearing gold and jade and was as fat as a pig but was named Tiger, also laughed in agreement.

"We should celebrate, but before that, we still have to reward people based on their merits." Ji Wuye said with a smile, his eyes turning to Yang Chong.

"Yang Chong, you did a great job in the assassination of Liu Yi this time. It was better than expected. I am very happy. If you want any reward, just tell me." Ji Wuye looked at Yang Chong and said that the surprise Yang Chong gave this time was really too big.

Killing Liu Yi was not difficult for him, but how to kill Liu Yi smoothly and without leaving any trace was a rather troublesome matter for Ji Wuye. He gave this task to Yang Chong with the intention of testing Yang Chong, but the answer given by Yang Chong was beyond his expectations.

This guy is definitely a talent, a talent that assassins like Mo Ya and Bai Feng can't compare to. With him around, he can contain the Blood Robe Marquis and prevent him from having any inappropriate thoughts. Ji Wuye thought about it and became more and more satisfied with Yang Chong.

"General, it's already a huge favor that you can help me solve my troubles. How dare I expect more rewards?" Yang Chong also did his best to put on a good show.

"This great general has always rewarded people according to their merits, otherwise it would be discouraging." Ji Wuye was even more satisfied with Yang Chong's understanding of the current situation, and then turned to Emerald Lake and said, "I remember you still have an empty house in Xinzheng."

"Yes, that mansion was originally a villa that we received from Lord Jinglun back then." Emerald Tiger replied quickly.

"That house will belong to Yang Chong from now on. You have no objection, right?" Ji Wuye said while asking, but actually he was giving orders.

"The general's words are orders. There is no problem for me. I will hand the title deed to Mr. Yang later." Emerald Tiger said without hesitation and smiled at Yang Chong. As a businessman, he was well aware of the principle of being good at dealing with people.

"Now that the reward is given, there should be arrangements as well." Ji Wuye pondered, thinking about how to arrange for Yang Chong.

The abilities displayed by Yang Chong were even beyond his imagination. Not only were his martial arts skills great, his mind was also first-rate. Such a person should play a greater role.

Ji Wuye pondered over it and gradually came up with an idea. He then said, "Yang Chong, you can just hang a name among the hundreds of birds for the time being, below the black crow and above the hundreds of birds."

"Okay, I have no problem with that. Killer, I think I can do it well." Yang Chong responded.

Ji Wuye's arrangement was exactly what Yang Chong wanted. He came here for the night, and if he integrated into it first, he would be able to better control this dark force in the future.

"Mo Ya, what do you think?" Ji Wuye asked the fourth person in the field.

"Mo Ya has already experienced Mr. Yang's methods, which are truly breathtaking. With Mr. Yang joining Bai Niao, Mo Ya is of course more than happy to have him." Mo Ya said, not worrying at all that Yang Chong would affect his future status.

"That's good." Ji Wuye said. It didn't matter whether Mo Ya agreed or not. The reason he asked Mo Ya was just because he was bored.

"But before that, Mo Ya has one more thing he wants to ask Mr. Yang." Mo Ya looked at Yang Chong. As the best killer in Night, he also had his own pride and wanted to compete with Yang Chong.

"Please speak." Yang Chong asked back.

"How did Mr. Yang design the plan to kill Liu Yi?" Mo Ya looked at Yang Chong with burning eyes. This question has been bothering him for a long time.

“This is not troublesome. The word 'killing' can be divided into three levels, and my method is only the killing of the second level.” Yang Chong said.
