"Your Highness, something terrible has happened. The two assassins we captured last night are dead!"

As soon as the two arrived at the dungeon door, a servant came up quickly, bowed and saluted to report the situation.

"died?"

Li Zhenting's face was gloomy. He quickly exchanged glances with Nangong Qing and strode towards the dungeon.

The light in the dungeon was dim. The coroner who rushed over examined it carefully and shook his head helplessly.

"He's been dead for two hours. There's a pungent odor coming from his mouth. He must have realized there was no hope of escape, so he simply took poison and ended his life..."

Nangong Qing took out a handkerchief from his wide sleeves and put it on to cover his mouth and nose. He reached out his hand and gently felt the prisoner's breath, and then felt his pulse and heartbeat.

Haha, what a treacherous assassin, he actually tried to stage this kind of fake death game in front of her!

She smiled coldly, stood up on tiptoe, raised her hand and poked Li Zhenting's arm. He immediately understood and quickly bent down to raise his ear...

Nangong Qing had a shining dagger in his hand.

"You all should step back. I want to see how these two assassins with broken limbs commit suicide by taking poison..."

When she checked on the men in black just now, she had already discovered that something was a little strange about them.

Although they were completely dead, there was still a hint of warmth on their chests. According to the coroner, they had committed suicide by poisoning two hours ago, and their bodies should have cooled down by now.

Therefore, she wanted to use her own method to verify whether the two assassins really committed suicide by taking poison.

The attendants and guards retreated, and Fengying and Leiying, holding torches, illuminated the dungeon until it was brightly lit. Nangong Qing nodded at Li Zhenting, and the two of them approached one of the assassins lying face down on the ground.

She reached out and lifted the assassin's eyelids. His pupils were dilated, and the whites of his eyes were covered with spiderwebs of red bloodshot. Both eyes were red, like a rabbit's.

"There's no pulse, the pupils are dilated, and the body is unconscious. It looks like there are no vital signs. Your Highness, please take a look!"

Nangong Qing held a sharp knife in his hand, narrowed his eyes, grabbed the handle and cut off the man's little finger at the root.

Suddenly, blood gushed out, and even Li Zhenting, who had experienced many massacres on the battlefield, felt a tightness in his heart.

She was so cruel...

"what……"

A heartbreaking scream echoed in the dungeon. The man in black, who had been lying motionless on the ground just now, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and wailed frantically. His face was pale with pain, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.

"Ah...ah..."

If Li Zhenting had not instructed Fengying in advance to tie the man's legs and feet with iron chains, the man in black who suddenly jumped up would have hurt Nangong Qing.

"Shut up!"

Nangong Qing swiftly inserted two silver needles into the four hundred acupuncture points on the black-clothed man's scarlet eyes. The black-clothed man still jumped wildly with his mouth wide open, but only a few indistinct whimpers could be heard from his mouth, and the decibel level dropped immediately.

The fingers are connected to the heart, and the pain of having his little finger cut off without any warning was driving him crazy. He jumped wildly and moved his body non-stop, causing the chains that bound him to rattle non-stop.

"Hey, man, are you still pretending? Do you want to get up and dance a duet together? You know I cut off his left pinky finger, right? To be fair, I'll cut off your left pinky finger too. Good brothers, we share the hardships and difficulties together!"

After saying that, Nangong Qing took out a dagger, deliberately gestured with the dagger, and stabbed it towards the hand of the man lying on the ground.

"what!"

The man suddenly stood up with a pale face, and his upper and lower teeth made a crisp sound of knocking against each other.

After all, the broken legs did not have enough strength to stand, and in less than two seconds, they fell heavily to the ground with a thud.

"Princess, please spare me...Princess, please spare me...According to the rules of this post, if caught, we must not bring disgrace upon the sect's reputation. I have no choice but to resort to this trick..."

The man in black spoke with a trembling voice.

Nangong Qing couldn't help but laugh. He bent down and squatted on the ground, holding a dagger with a dazzling cold light, and gently tapped the cheek of the person whose frightened facial features were trembling.

"So, why don't you take the initiative to tell me which sect you are from and why you want to assassinate Tian Xinyue?"

"Shangsheng Building..."

"We assassins always take our missions from our superiors, and we are not allowed to ask about the reasons behind them. I am only doing this for money, and I really don't know the reason behind it..."

The man in black stuttered while trying to endure the pain. With every word he spoke, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his head. It was truly a life worse than death.

Seeing Nangong Qing remained silent, just playing with the dagger in his hand. The dagger emitted a dazzling cold light under the torchlight. The frightened killer once again raised his head with all his strength, begging for mercy.

"Shangshenglou is a renowned assassin organization in the Great Yan Kingdom, with five hundred assassins. There's an unwritten rule within the building: if captured, one must fake their own death and escape, then find another way to assassinate. No matter what method is used, the mission must be completed."

"If I fail to complete the mission, I can only die as an apology... Most of the unsolved cases that have occurred in the Great Yan Kingdom over the years were committed by Shangshenglou...

By the way, the Huayuan Envoy's family, who had been following the prince to guard the border a few days ago, were drowned, and the Huayuan Envoy was hunted down. It was all Shangshenglou's doing!"

"Pfft... pfft..."

Nangong Qing raised and lowered the sharp knife in his hand with lightning speed, stabbing it into the hearts of the two men in black.

Two people died! Nangong Qing actually killed them directly!

The Kazekage and the Raikage looked at each other in confusion. Is the princess crazy?

Without getting the prince's consent, he actually killed two people!

"They deserve to die! Huayuan has killed over a dozen people, and Xin'er, who was only three years old, couldn't escape death! How can we let him go!"

Li Zhenting remained calm, lowering his sword. He glanced at Nangong Qing, whose dagger was still dripping with blood, and nodded slightly.

She did exactly what he wanted. She knew what he was thinking without even looking at him. It was a tacit understanding between them.

"Let's take it out and feed it to the dogs..."

Nangong Qing picked up a handkerchief, wiped a dagger roughly, and smiled coldly at Tian Xinyue who was huddled in the corner and dared not move.

"Madam, are you enjoying the show? I have avenged your shock. If you remember anything, please remember to report it to me immediately! Here, you have plenty of food and drink, and you don't have to worry about assassins. Madam, you are very lucky..."

After a few jokes, Nangong Qing left humming a little tune, and Li Zhenting followed closely behind.

As Li Zhenting, Nangong Qing and others left, the dungeon, which was originally brightly lit by torches, suddenly became as dark as night.

Tian Xinyue fell to the ground as if all her bones were pulled out, crying in despair.

What a sin! How could Li Zhenting marry Nangong Qing, who is as devastating as the King of Hell!

She is cruel and murderous, so if she doesn't tell everything she knows, will she be imprisoned in this dark dungeon for the rest of her life?

But those things...

I heard that Nangong Qing sent his daughter Wu Yueyue to Taohua Temple. I wonder if Wu Yueyue's biological father can know this news and find a way to rescue his daughter...

She cried even harder.
