The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

The sound of the flute is melodious and clear, like water flowing through the mountains, allowing people to rediscover peace and tranquility in their hearts.

The middle-aged man's expression changed as the raging internal energy within him gradually calmed down, and the pain slowly disappeared!

"call!"

He breathed a long sigh of relief and looked back with a happy expression!

When the woman heard the sound of the flute, her eyes narrowed. She did not continue playing the zither, but instead raised her head and quietly looked at the stone steps leading up the mountain!

At this moment, the woman's eyes no longer held the ease she had before, but her murderous aura had intensified!

The melodious sound of the flute still echoed in the mountains, but one could only hear the sound and not tell where it came from!

The sound was mighty and resounding, as if it had fallen from the heavens!

After waiting quietly for a moment, a figure slowly emerged from the stone steps leading up the mountain.

The figure was shrouded in a very simple black robe, including the head. The wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, and there was a black feather at the cuff, giving people a very mysterious and majestic feeling!

The robe was loose, but in the mountain wind, it would occasionally cling tightly to her curvaceous body, and one could tell from the curves of her body that it was a woman.

The only thing exposed was her slender, jade-like hands!

As your fingertips gently trace the tone holes, each light touch produces a melodious note.

These notes, sometimes like a babbling brook, sometimes like a sudden storm, swept away the murderous aura that had just been there!

Based on the exposed knuckles of the other person's fingers, it can be basically determined that this should be a girl in her twenties!

However, her skin is truly fair and delicate, even surpassing that of the other women in the family!

This is the benefit of spiritual practice!

Even an ugly woman can become fair and beautiful after cultivating her skills. With better skin, even if she is not good-looking, she will become beautiful.

But even though she's beautiful, sometimes lust can be a dangerous thing!

These beautiful women are too dangerous; just look at them.

Moreover, this woman's movements were extremely strange; one second she was halfway up the mountain, and the next second she appeared right in front of him!

This speed is almost impossible to detect with the naked eye!

Good heavens, it can even teleport?

Jia Daoshi also saw the problem!

I thought I was really amazing, but I never realized there are always people more capable than me!

This woman is clearly more capable than me!

Soon, the woman in black robes appeared in front of the woman. She gracefully put down the long flute in her hand, then stretched out her finger and flicked it lightly!

"call out!"

A dazzling white light appeared at the woman's fingertip and flew towards the woman's forehead!

"Zheng!"

The woman plucked the strings of her instrument, and a powerful sound erupted!

The two streams of true energy collided in mid-air, causing the clouds and mist on the mountain to churn wildly!

Jia Daoshi was dumbfounded!

Is this the top master in the martial arts world?

As expected of the Empress's personal guard, this ancient zither alone is probably more powerful than Lei Bao's. No wonder the Empress can tolerate the existence of an organization like the Imperial City Guard!

Clearly, they have enough strength to manipulate things at will!

As the crashing sound gradually subsided, a large crater appeared in the ground between the woman and the girl in the black robe!

The people present were both shocked and frightened by what they saw!

The woman's eyes showed surprise, clearly astonished by the girl's cultivation level: "I haven't been in the martial world for a long time, and I didn't know that such a young master as you had appeared! Young girl, would you dare to give your name!"

"The Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves, the Black-Clad Envoy, Yan Ruyu!"

"I never expected it to be the owner of the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves! My luck is good today!"

After saying this, the woman played the zither again!

"Zheng!!"

"Woo!~"

The sounds of the zither and the flute began almost simultaneously.

In an instant, the two masters began to clash once again!

The Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves, along with the Xuanhua Pavilion, is one of the four most powerful forces in the martial arts world.

The two women clashed, and for a time it was impossible to determine a winner!

"I'll hold off this Heavenly Melody Demon. Empress Dajing is over there. Don't let her escape!"

"Your Majesty! You should leave first; I'll take care of things here!"

The woman and Yan Ruyu spoke at the same time.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man in black knew exactly what he had to do. He immediately said to the men in black who came up behind him, "Everyone, follow me! If you see any woman, kill her without mercy!"

"Yes!"

A group of men in black, like a black tide, surged towards the mountaintop once more.

At this moment, Jia Daoshi felt somewhat surprised and uncertain after hearing Yan Ruyu's name.

According to Murong Jiu and Di Qinglin, he also has a wife named Yan Ruyu!

Given their status, these women were capable of assassinating the Empress.

Should I help them or not?

The Empress was right beside him; at such close range, it was the perfect opportunity for him to make his move.

However, his conversation with the Empress just now left him with some admiration for her.

Moreover, it was not the Empress who destroyed the Great Qing Kingdom, but the old Emperor's decision!

Most importantly, even if he were to take action, he wouldn't be entirely confident of success!

"Your Majesty, why are you still here? It's too dangerous here. Let's quickly leave through the secret passage!"

Just then, a figure rushed towards them!

When Jia Daoshi turned around, he was surprised to see Princess Taiping, Ji Bingyan, who had returned!

Perhaps from running all the way, Ji Bingyan's face had turned red, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She was especially panting, and Jia Daoshi was afraid that her thin dress would tear!

Princess Taiping's figure is truly incredible!

I'd guess it's at least a D!

However, what puzzled Jia Daoshi the most was that Ji Bingyan and the Empress seemed to be about the same age.

"Bingyan, why are you back?" The Empress was somewhat surprised by Ji Bingyan's return.

"Of course I'm worried about Your Majesty's safety! Your Majesty, please come down the mountain with me!" Ji Bingyan said anxiously.

"A few petty thieves, why make such a fuss!" Ji Wuxin smiled calmly.

Jia Daoshi: "..."

He is now admiring this empress more and more.

It seems that this empress cannot die!

With the Empress's death, the bond that maintained the balance among the nine princes will be completely severed, inevitably leading to chaos in the court.

If the imperial court is in chaos, the martial arts world and the common people will also be in chaos. When the Longwu Kingdom and the Dajing Kingdom start fighting again, how will he have any more carefree days?

“Your Majesty, I think Princess Taiping is right. We should lay low for a while,” Jia Daoshi advised.

"No need!"

Ji Wuxin flatly refused.

Although she was a woman, she was extremely unruly at heart.

There's no way to hide. A true emperor dares to face all rebels in the world!

So Ji Wuxin simply smiled faintly: "Mr. Jia, please protect the princess and leave first! I'm going to meet these rebels!"
