Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy

In Jia County, Pingzhou, a land ravaged by a snowstorm was bleak and desolate. Thick drifts of snow had crushed countless houses. Makeshift porridge stalls were set up on the roadside, and civilians lined up in the biting wind, shivering with cold.

Shangguan Yunting, dressed in a plain robe and looking solemn, hurried over with his guards. A strong wind blew snowflakes in his face, hitting his resolute face, but the worry in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

The middle-aged man who was in charge of distributing porridge came over hurriedly and bowed, "Greetings, King Mu."

"Manager Wu, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, but it makes me sad to see the people affected by the disaster."

"Where are the local officials in Pingzhou?"

"Your Highness, Governor Zhang has brought many officials and soldiers to rescue the suffering people. They have accommodated all the homeless people in the surrounding area here."

Shangguan Yunting nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied with the Pingzhou officials. He glanced at the people queuing for porridge and said, "Manager Wu, please inform everyone that I have brought cotton-padded clothes and quilts. Please arrange for people to distribute them as soon as possible."

After saying that, the guards behind him carried the supplies forward.

At this time, the people who had been queuing came forward and looked at Shangguan Yunting with gratitude, "Thank you, King Mu, for thinking of us poor people."

Shangguan Yunting looked at the people in tattered clothes, but with eyes full of hope, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, I have come here on the orders of the emperor to provide disaster relief. The emperor is concerned about your safety and has ordered me to bring you food, cotton clothes and quilts. Everyone line up to receive them. Everyone has one, and no one is allowed to fight over them."

Everyone knelt down to express their gratitude to the emperor for still remembering them.

At the same time, the sound of orderly and powerful footsteps was heard in the distance, and Xu Yang urgently dispatched 10,000 soldiers from Qingzhou to rush to the rescue.

He came before Shangguan Yunting and bowed, "I have been ordered to mobilize 10,000 soldiers to await your command."

"Xu Yang, you, Zhang Qiao, and Su Xin will each lead 2,000 men to different villages for rescue. Liu Qi and Wang Jian, each of you will lead your soldiers to build temporary shelters for the affected people."

"I obey my orders."

Shangguan Yunting nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping over the people queuing for porridge, "Manager Wu, how long can the food last?"

Shopkeeper Wu sighed, "To His Majesty Prince Mu, if the food Han Lin sent is distributed as porridge based on the current number of people, it can probably last for about seven or eight days. But I heard that many disaster victims are on the way."

Shangguan Yunting frowned, thinking, "Seven or eight days will be enough for the imperial court to transport its grain to Pingzhou."

"That's good. Otherwise, how are these 20,000 to 30,000 people going to survive in this freezing cold weather without food?"

The soldiers acted quickly with clear division of labor, clearing snow, carrying wood and straw, and building temporary sheds for the affected people to live in.

Some young and strong people also spontaneously joined the construction team. With everyone's concerted efforts, the sheds gradually took shape. The children's faces were filled with smiles, and the elderly had tears of emotion in their eyes.

Shangguan Yunting looked at this scene, and his furrowed brows finally relaxed a little.

When Governor Zhang learned that Shangguan Yunting had arrived, he hurriedly brought local officials to pay him a visit. Behind him, a pair of eyes stared at Shangguan Yunting with hatred.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Mu."

"Excuse me, Governor Zhang."

"Your Highness Prince Mu, may I go to my mansion to rest?"

"Zhang, your residence is far away in Pingzhou, too far from Jia County for us to travel. I can live anywhere I want."

Prefect Meng quickly said, "Your Highness Prince Mu, my residence is in Jia County. How about you go there and rest for a while?"

"Don't bother. I'll live in this shed."

"This place is too simple and unsuitable for your status."

"It's alright. Tell me about the snowstorm in Jia County. I'll report it to the Emperor as soon as possible."

Shangguan Yunting lived in a makeshift shed, which was some distance away from the sheds of the common people.

Governor Zhang brought several officials to report the disaster in Pingzhou to Shangguan Yunting.

In Pingxi Mountain, the iron ore miners were unable to transport grain to Pingzhou due to the thick snow. Everyone was holding porridge and looked angry.

"Manager He, we've been drinking water for several days straight. How can we have the energy to work?"

"Don't be angry, everyone. The food is on the way. The snow is too deep to enter the city. Just be patient for a few days. Once the food arrives, I guarantee you'll have enough to eat and drink."

"Manager He, wait until the food arrives and we're well fed and ready to work!"

"No, the boss is still waiting for this batch of iron to be shipped."

"Manager He, who is your boss? How can you not care about our lives?"

Manager He's face darkened. "The boss is powerful. Stop messing around. If the construction is delayed, no one can bear the responsibility."

"Manager He, even if he has power and influence, we don't have the energy to work without food."

"Even if you don't have the strength, you still have to work, otherwise your wages for that day will be deducted."

Steward He swept his fierce gaze over the crowd, "I've said recently that if anyone dares to leave the mountain without permission and is discovered by King Mu's men, you and your family will be punished accordingly. If the situation becomes serious, there will be no recovery."

"Do you understand? If I find out who has left the mountain, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"have you understood?"

Everyone said weakly: "I understand."

Everyone continued to work indignantly.

Among the craftsmen was one named Li Er. His elder brother quietly avoided the guards and found his younger brother. When Li Er saw his elder brother, he quickly pulled him to a hidden place.

He was surprised and asked, "Brother, how did you get up here? The person in charge doesn't allow outsiders to enter."

"I know that your manager doesn't allow outsiders to enter, and I can't contact you. I had no choice but to sneak in to find you."

"What happened?"

"My parents were buried in the snow and their lives were at stake. I wanted to see you one last time, so I had no choice but to sneak past the guards and come in to discuss this with you."

Li Er said sadly, "As a son, I was not filial to my parents when they were in trouble and I didn't stay by their side. If I can't even see them one last time, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Can you get down the mountain?"

"Brother, you hide in a secluded place. I will sneak out and meet you at night."

"Go out of the cave where we often hunt. I'll wait for you there. Be careful."

"understood."

At night, when everyone was asleep, Li Er quietly avoided the guards and left the cave.

The two brothers quietly went down the mountain and found their dying parents in a makeshift shed.

Xu Yang accidentally learned that there was an iron mine in Xiping Mountain. He hurried to Shangguan Yunting's residence to report, "Master, there is an iron mine in Xiping Mountain. The craftsmen from Jia County have been mining in the mountain for several months."

Shangguan Yunting was astonished. "Iron mine? Why haven't I heard my brother mention the iron mine? Send someone to thoroughly investigate the truth of this matter. I will write to my brother to inquire about the situation."

"I obey my orders."

Prefect Meng learned that Li Er had quietly returned to Jia County and was very close to Shangguan Yunting. If he told him the situation in the mountains, Xiping Mountain would no longer exist, and the assassins he had secretly trained would also be exposed.

His face was terribly gloomy. After a moment's deliberation, he said, "Qing Jue, He Feng, send someone to eliminate this man. Kill Shangguan Yunting at the end of the day to avenge the hundreds of people in my He family. If the truth is uncovered and it's revealed that the Crown Prince and Censor He issued the order, the iron ore in Xiping Mountain originally belonged to me. Giving it to the Crown Prince means they'll take the blame for my crimes one day."

"Your Excellency is wise. We have already mined half of the iron ore. Offering it to the Crown Prince means they will take the blame for us."

"I'm worried that we've been hiding for so many years, and this might reveal our identities."

"We have been wearing human skin masks for many years. Outsiders have never seen our true appearance. After killing Shangguan Yunting, our next target is Shen Rou. After we kill him and his wife, we will go to the capital to recognize the Fourth Prince, help him ascend the throne, and redress the injustice of our He family."

"Remember, you only have a cup of tea. You must get rid of him before Shangguan Yunting's guards return. Otherwise, you must flee this place quickly. I won't contact you, and you must not show up."

"I obey my orders."
