Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby
Chapter 68 Struck by Thunder
An San was indeed the one with the highest fighting power. After a while, this wave of assassins was chopped off by him as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
When there were only two left, An Yi broke the man's leg and held down An San's excited hand.
"Keep him alive, he will be useful to the master."
Afraid that the idiot An San would attack again, he threw Zhongli He into An San's arms, took out the belts of the two surviving assassins, tied them around his neck, and dragged them towards the dungeon.
Leng Qingyi sat in the dungeon for half an hour before An Yi and An San came back. Seeing An Yi holding a chicken (assassin) in his left hand and a duck (assassin) in his right hand, and An San coming back with a fat baby (big man), Leng Qingyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhongli Yuan.
"Master, these two are alive."
"That's right. I'll give you one set once the leather jacket is ready."
"Thank you, Master."
"Master, we also want An San. An San has killed more people than An Yi."
"Here you go."
Even without looking at his cold expression, one could sense An Yi's disdain for An San.
"I'll leave these two assassins to you, An San. Don't kill them."
"It's the master."
After sending An San away, Leng Qing looked at Zhong Li He who was thrown on the ground like a dead dog by An San.
"The emperor's uncle has quite a few loyal subordinates. Even after I destroyed several of their hideouts, he still has a backup plan."
Zhong Lihe, lying on the ground, looked pale and felt that the situation was hopeless.
The dozen or so people he carefully trained were no match for a single secret guard surrounding the emperor.
"The Emperor truly possesses a hidden talent. His secret guards are surprisingly formidable. It's unbelievable that he's been able to cultivate such powerful secret guards in just over a year since ascending the throne."
"Don't worry about that, uncle. Just think about what to say next to keep the people you care about safe and sound."
Zhongli He smiled bitterly and used all his strength to prop up his head to look at the imperial nephew whom he had never taken seriously.
"I underestimated you, but you are truly ruthless and cruel, not at all like your father."
"Of course I'm not like that loser. Stop nagging me. If the Emperor's uncle doesn't have anything to say, then I'll send him on his way."
"What do you want to know?"
"Isn't it clear in the Emperor's mind? Of course I want to know what I don't know. How long the Emperor's uncle wants Yan Ruju to live and what kind of life she leads depends on the importance of what the Emperor's uncle says. This is a deal, and the Emperor's uncle should know the importance of it, so I won't say anything."
"How can I believe that you can protect her better than the Duke of Zhenguo?"
"Oh, Uncle Huang, is your brain going to fail as you're dying?"
"If the Duke of Zhenguo succeeds in his rebellion, Yan Ruju will become the former empress's consort. Apart from death, she will spend her life with the ancient Buddha and the green lamp. If the rebellion fails, she will be the daughter of a traitor. The end result will be death or confinement to the cold palace."
"So if I tell you the Duke of Zhenguo's secret, can you guarantee her a life of wealth and peace?"
"That depends on the weight of the information you provide. Simply put, Yan Ruju's life is in your hands."
Zhongli He was silent. He had a thousand thoughts in his mind, but now all he felt was regret.
If I had known that this nephew of the emperor was so cruel and ruthless, I would never have allowed him to become emperor.
I thought he was a puppet emperor with no foundation, but he turned out to be a wolf pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
……
"The emperor's uncle died of a heart attack in the dungeon. Give him a proper burial."
Zhongli He felt unwilling as he watched the emperor's mouth opening and closing to determine his fate.
When An Yi's dagger slashed his throat, many images flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.
He saw the little girl who was secretly hiding in the rockery and crying when he first met her in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion when he was young.
I saw her crying and then wiping away her tears bravely to cheer herself up.
I saw the whole process of her growing from a little kid into a graceful young lady.
Seeing the two of them meeting in the harem, he promised her that they would be together for the rest of their lives and vowed that they would travel to the ends of the earth together.
We also saw that he really took her away after joining forces with the Duke of Zhenguo to overthrow the rule of the current Emperor Yuansheng.
The two traveled around the world and found a beautiful place to live in seclusion, where they loved each other and grew old together.
Just as he was watching the two of them grow old together and watch their children and grandchildren grow up, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
What did he see?
The Duke of Zhenguo ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He was self-willed, licentious, tyrannical, and exploited the people.
Seeing that all the countries were attacking Dongxia, it was in danger of being destroyed.
I saw the famine-stricken people everywhere and the displacement of their homes, and I saw the scene of foreign cavalry trampling down the imperial palace.
How?
Even if Zhongli Yuan was overthrown, it shouldn't be the Duke of Zhenguo who took the throne. What about the eldest prince? What about the second prince?
You have to know that there are more than one prince left by his royal brother, Zhongli Yuan, and the other princes are not without support.
How could it be that the Duke of Zhenguo ascended the throne? Even if it was the Duke of Zhenguo, how could Dongxia be destroyed in just ten years?
Was it all his fault?
Was he wrong?
All he wanted throughout his life was to win the heart of one person. How could he let the people of Dongxia destroy their country and their families?
The moment before Zhongli He closed his eyes, he saw the emperor looking down at him coldly.
Different.
The reality was different from what he saw.
The emperor is not at all as cowardly as depicted in those pictures. He has the means and ability and will not let Dongxia become like that.
It won't be like that. It definitely won't be like that as long as he's around.
Leng Qing saw Zhong Lihe's eyes suddenly widen before he closed them, as if he had seen something terrible, and then he closed his eyes with peace of mind after seeing her.
Leng Qing looked back and saw nothing. He then looked down at the dead Zhongli He and left the dungeon humming a little tune.
Zhongli Yuan took a deep look at the emperor's uncle, and when he thought of what he had just told him, his eyes instantly turned cold.
Without even looking at the dead man on the ground, he followed Leng Qing closely and left the dungeon.
Just as the two of them stepped out of the dungeon, a bolt of thunder suddenly fell from the clear blue sky and struck Leng Qing directly on the head.
Leng Qing, who was dressed meticulously, suddenly had a big afro and the dragon robe on his body was torn to tatters.
This scared Zhongli Yuan who was following Leng Qingyi.
"Master! Are you okay?"
Leng Qing moved her fingers, and the numbness all over her body made her feel very sour and refreshing.
Leng Qing opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of black smoke. He raised his hand and raised his middle finger to the sky, then fainted.
Zhongli Yuan took two steps forward and caught the unconscious Leng Qingyi. With a height of just over 1.6 meters, he easily picked up the 1.88 meter tall man and rushed into the bedroom.
After putting the person on the couch, Zhongli Yuan immediately wanted to ask someone to call the imperial physician.
But if such a weird thing were to be spread out, it would inevitably lead to attacks from those with ulterior motives in the court.
"An Yi, go get a doctor from outside the palace, and hurry."
An Yi came out and checked Leng Qingyi's pulse. Seeing that his pulse was strong, he felt relieved.
