I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Lightning streaked across the sky, thunder roared, and a ghostly figure was revealed.

The ghost held a scimitar in his hand, and a cold light flashed in the light of lightning, and he cut a fragile throat with one knife.

Immediately afterwards, the ghost, on the roof, in the heavy rain, dodged and rushed left and right. Every knife strike was accompanied by a flying drop of blood and a figure fell down.

That familiar feeling is back.

Shen Changgong originally thought that he wanted to live a stable and prosperous life, but now he thinks that kind of life seems too dull.

Only killing people can make his adrenaline surge.

Only in the dark night can he fully display his talents.

He is a cold-blooded killer who feels no guilt for killing anyone.

He was born for this chaotic world.

Shen Changgong was killing the people above, while the assassins below had no idea that he had left.

It was pitch dark, and all you had to do was basically know which direction the enemy was heading, and then just slash at them with your knife.

The guards protected Gongsun Wan'er behind them, and behind them was the carriage.

With the help of the dim light of the carriage, Gongsun Wan'er held a knife in her hand and stabbed from time to time, killing an assassin.

There were a total of twenty palace guards, including the two of them. The losses were quite heavy, and less than half of them survived.

The enemy is numerous and powerful, and is pressing forward step by step.

Suddenly, two assassins stabbed a guard to death, opened a breakthrough, and immediately drew their swords and slashed towards Gongsun Wan'er.

Gongsun Wan'er immediately swung her sword to meet the attack, but she only had time to block one blade before the other one came down towards her face.

There was a carriage behind her, and she had nowhere to retreat.

Gongsun Wan'er opened her eyes wide, and seeing that she was about to die, she felt extremely unwilling.

She has not yet cleared the name of the Gongsun family, she has not yet avenged the Gongsun family with her own hands, and she has not yet assisted His Majesty in achieving great things.

But even though he was extremely unwilling, the knife still fell.

However, at this moment, the assassin in front of him suddenly fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

A ghostly figure immediately squatted down, pinched the assassin's mouth with his hands, and then tore a piece of cloth from the assassin's body and stuffed the assassin's mouth with it.

"Damn, I killed them so quickly that I almost forgot to leave any survivors. Luckily, there's still one left."

Hearing this voice, Gongsun Wan'er widened her eyes.

"Shen Changgong? Is that you?"

Shen Changgong ignored her, pushed the assassin to the ground, and tied his hands behind his back with his clothes.

The cloth strips stuffed in his mouth were to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide or taking poison.

Gongsun Wan'er then realized that all the assassins around her had fallen.

She knew the guards' fighting ability well. If they could defeat those assassins, so many people wouldn't have been killed.

In other words, all these people were killed by Shen Changgong?

Just then, a large group of people holding lanterns came running around the corner of the street.

"Whoever is fighting here, immediately put down your weapons and surrender!"

Shen Changgong heard a familiar voice and shouted,

"Zhang Fei?"

"Huh? That's the captain's voice. Captain, is that you?"

"it's me!"

"Haha, here comes Lao Zhang!"

Zhang Yide came running over with twenty security guards, looking at the corpses on the ground, he said in surprise,

"Captain, what's going on? We were on patrol when we heard a fight and rushed over. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. There was a group of assassins trying to kill me, but we killed them.

Take this assassin back to the camp and torture him severely. Remember to knock out all his teeth first."

"I understand."

Zhang Yide immediately sent someone to tie up the assassin.

"Also, call more people over to clean up the bodies. Treat the remains of our guard brothers well and bury them later."

"As ordered!"

"Well, you've been patrolling in the middle of the night in the heavy rain. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's my job, Captain. Wherever you want to go, I, Old Zhang, will escort you back."

Zhang Yide said loudly.

"I'm fine. I can just go back by myself. Oh, there are still a few bodies on the roof. Clean them up as well. Don't cause trouble for the people."

"Hehe, the Grand Commandant still loves the people like his own children. I, Old Zhang, know about this and will definitely get things done today."

Zhang Yide led the security forces and escorted the assassin back to the camp.

The other guards mounted their horses and continued to guard on both sides.

Dai Xing was not dead, but was injured.

Even if only one of them is left, they will still protect their master. This is the belief of the palace guards. Without this belief, they cannot be palace guards.

Shen Changgong and Gongsun Wan'er got back on the carriage, at least the horses were fine.

"Hurry back to the palace!"

"As ordered!"

The carriage galloped forward.

In the car, Gongsun Wan'er looked at Shen Changgong and said slowly,

"You saved me twice today."

Shen Changgong was stunned when he heard this. Why couldn't he remember when he saved Gongsun Wan'er?

He just remembered that when the assassin's arrow shot in, he reflexively threw Gongsun Wan'er down with him.

But it is true that if Gongsun Wan'er died and he lived, there is no guarantee that the empress would not become suspicious of him.

Shen Changgong sneered,

"How could I bear to let you die so early? I haven't tortured you severely yet."

As soon as these words came out, the slight emotion that had just risen in Gongsun Wan'er's heart disappeared, and she could not help but snorted coldly.

"I say, Shen Changgong, do you hate me so much? Logically, you should be grateful to me.

If I hadn't chosen you and brought you to the training grounds, would you have been able to stand out? Would you have been able to become your majesty's husband? Would you have been able to have such great power today?

All of this is because of me. I was your guide, but instead of being grateful to you, you're constantly thinking about how to take revenge on me. You're so ungrateful and don't know what's good for you!"

"Oh, then I have to thank you. You are a very nice person."

Shen Changgong said sarcastically.

"You... are so narrow-minded. I really don't know if you are a man."

"Why, Lord Gongsun wants to test whether I am a man?"

"ah!!!"

Gongsun Wan'er gritted her teeth in anger. In order to avoid being pissed off by Shen Changgong and dying young, she took two deep breaths, changed the subject, and asked,

"Shen Changgong, you killed most of the assassins this time. How come you are so powerful?"

"It's not that powerful. Assassins mainly rely on sneak attacks. If the enemy is in the dark and I'm in the light, I'll be in a passive position.

But when you attracted the assassin's attention and I moved away, it became that I was in the dark and the enemy was in the light.

After I deal with the enemy shooting arrows on the roof, the melee assassins below are all attracted by you. They have their backs to me, so it will be easy for me to kill them, right? "
