Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 119: Xue Huaiwei's Scheme

The desolate temple was filled with silence.

The flickering torches cast long shadows of the two figures.

A suffocating atmosphere filled the air.

Qin Lirong's breathing became heavy as she held her sword tightly, ready to defend herself. "So it's you two bandits from the Fulong Mountain. My senior brother from my sect is in Shilin City. If you dare to harm me, you will have no place to be buried!"

The person called "Xin Zhuo" laughed heartily, looking up at the sky. "You really scared me. I, Xin Zhuo, have committed countless evil deeds in my life, and threats are the least of my concerns!"

Xin Zhuo: "..."

What's going on? Who are these "Xin Zhuo" and "Cui Ying'er"?

"Do you dare?" Qin Lirong became even more nervous, but she didn't back down. Instead, she took a step forward.

At that moment, "Cui Ying'er" made a swift move and slapped Qin Lirong with a palm. Qin Lirong tried to defend herself, but she was no match and was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

Before Qin Lirong could react, the two had already approached Xin Zhuo and exchanged a glance. "Let's kill this kid. It would be better to leave him alive as a disciple of Wudang."

"Good plan!"

They raised their weapons and prepared to strike. "Kid, remember our names, Xin Zhuo and Cui Ying'er!"

Appearing out of nowhere and killing inexplicably?

Xin Zhuo pondered for a moment, then picked up a small broken branch and lightly flicked it, hitting a pressure point behind Qin Lirong's ear.

Qin Lirong groaned and fainted.

The man and woman's expressions changed, and they quickly took three steps back, their swords already unsheathed. "We didn't expect you to be a skilled martial artist!"

Just as they finished speaking, Xin Zhuo disappeared before their eyes.

His ghostly movements were unheard of, and the two felt a chill all over their bodies. Their scalps tingled. Just as they were about to react, their bodies suddenly felt intense pain. They became dizzy and were sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground. Their swords fell to the side, and blood sprayed from their mouths.

Xin Zhuo picked up a tree branch and lightly tapped their faces. "Names?"

His voice was cold, sending shivers down their spines.

"We... we are Xin Zhuo and Cui Ying'er!"

The man lay flat on the ground, his eyes filled with fear and trembling. He couldn't even tell the realm and martial arts cultivation technique this young man used to injure them.

"Names? It's better not to make me ask a third time!"

Xin Zhuo said again. These two were only at the seventh rank and their blood qi fluctuations were impure. They were probably self-taught. They were probably no match for Murong Xiu.

The woman's eyes darted around and she gritted her teeth. "We are Bai Juan and Ma Ji, the male and female duo from the God Spear Villa. But you dare not kill us."

"Why?"

"We are followers of Xue Huaiwei, the senior disciple of the God Spear Villa!"

"Xue Huaiwei?"

Xin Zhuo knew this person. He was the chief catcher of the Fufeng Mansion and came from the God Spear Villa. He was supposed to have a life-and-death battle with Xin Zhuo on New Year's Eve, but Xin Zhuo left in a hurry and never met him.

"That's right!" The woman thought Xin Zhuo was afraid and sneered. "We are working for Senior Xue. Do you dare to harm us even a little? Aren't you afraid of the God Spear Villa wiping out your entire family?"

Xin Zhuo smiled and tightened his grip on the tree branch. The woman's neck was already bleeding profusely. "Why did you impersonate Xin Zhuo and Cui Ying'er?"

"Stop! I'll tell you!"

Seeing that Xin Zhuo was truly determined to kill, the woman's expression changed. "Senior Xue and Xin Zhuo have a grudge. It is said that Xin Zhuo and his group have already gone north. They might have a conspiracy against the martial artists in Shilin City. It is said that this Xin Zhuo, the bandit king, is full of tricks and once tricked an entire city."

Senior Xue asked us to impersonate them and cause trouble everywhere, reminding the martial artists in Shilin City to be cautious. When Xin Zhuo arrives, we will leave, and it will be the perfect opportunity for them to fight each other. This is a plan to use someone else's hand to kill."

Xin Zhuo fell silent. This Xue Huaiwei was truly cunning. He couldn't underestimate anyone in the world. He asked again, "Besides you two, who else is there?"

"Finished! It's just the two of us. Xue Daxia said it's enough!"

"Where is Xue Huaiwei?"

"Xue Daxia returned to the Shenqiang Villa and said he's waiting there for Xin Zhuo!"

"How do you contact each other?"

"Through the male and female Gu birds!" The woman took out a small golden silk bird from her pocket. "These birds come in pairs, they depend on each other for life and death, never parting. They can find each other from thousands of miles away, similar to how a falcon finds its master. This is the male bird. Xue Daxia will send messages through the female bird. When that happens, we will leave the female bird behind and send the message back using the male bird, like this."

Xin Zhuo took the bird and put it in his pocket, looking at the pair of birds. After hesitating for a while, he made a mysterious movement with his right hand, clapping his palms together. The two of them fell to the ground with broken bones, groaning, and died.

It's not a time for mercy, and these two people weren't good people themselves. They couldn't be left alive. He had to impersonate them, create discord with Xue Huaiwei, and apologize!

Dragging the two bodies, they were thrown into a hidden mountain ditch. When they returned, Qin Lirong had already regained consciousness.

Looking around, she looked at Xin Zhuo and was surprised. "Where did those two people go?"

Xin Zhuo pretended to turn pale and nervously said, "A great hero just arrived, claiming to be Baili Mieshen. He fought a great battle with those two people. Xin Zhuo and Cui Ying'er hurriedly fled to the Fulong Mountain, and the great hero Baili Mieshen was also injured. He continued on his journey to laugh arrogantly in the martial world!"

This explanation couldn't withstand scrutiny, but Qin Lirong was absent-minded and believed it to be true. She looked melancholy and said, "Indeed, the martial world is full of endless stories. Heroes are everywhere, admirable! By the way, you're not injured, are you?"

Very good, she still cared about Xin Zhuo's safety at this time, showing her heroic spirit.

Xin Zhuo had a lingering fear on his face and said, "It was close!"

Qin Lirong gritted her teeth and said, "They didn't touch me, but they targeted you. Don't you know the saying that beautiful women have short lives? With your appearance, you should find a female hero to marry... it would be better to marry one! Take good care of yourself."

What kind of twisted logic was this?

Xin Zhuo suppressed the urge to recite the Three Character Classic and said, "I will consider it."

"Okay, then I'll introduce a few to you when the time comes."

"..."

...

Shilin City is a small city in Jingjiang Prefecture, but its geographical location is very advantageous. Whether going to Fufeng Prefecture, Bazhou, northwest to Dukang Prefecture, or east to Dongyi, one has to pass through here.

The city's architecture is also very unique, with the entire city nestled in a stone forest, with high and low stone mountains and flying eaves.

The city was named after this.

In the early morning, the streets were bustling with people, crowded with carriages and horses. Shops, vendors, workers, and craftsmen were all busy, creating an indescribable atmosphere of life.

Qin Lirong was excited and lively, walking around and introducing Xin Zhuo to everything, afraid that he, a person from a small place, hadn't seen the world.

Indeed, Xin Zhuo hadn't seen much of the world, but he was more concerned about where Cui Ying'er and Murong Xiu had gone.

Xue Huaiwei, the chief constable who had not yet met and was not doing his job properly, had deep thoughts. He shouldn't cause any more trouble.

At this moment, Qin Lirong pulled him and said, "Come, let's go to the mansion of the renowned swordsman Ge Sanye. Everyone is there."

Xin Zhuo asked in surprise, "Who is this renowned swordsman Ge Sanye?"

Qin Lirong smiled and said, "He is from our Wudang Sect. He left the sect ten years ago and has now reached the sixth rank. He has established a huge business in this Shilin City. This is our base for attacking Xin Lao thief's grandson. Let's go!"

The two hurriedly walked and soon arrived at the "Ge Manor."

They saw a tall gatehouse and a spacious courtyard. In front of the gate, there were two majestic Guardian Stone Lions and eight black-clad guards with knives, exuding an imposing and dignified aura.

After being informed, they were allowed to enter. Just as they stepped through the gate, a woman in white with a cold expression came towards them.

"Sister!" Qin Lirong greeted her cheerfully, "I brought someone for you to see. Are you satisfied?"

Xin Zhuo: "?"

PS: Thanks to the reader "Xiaoniang" for the 5000 book coins reward. Xiaoniang, are you a girl? Loved...

There will be three to four chapters tomorrow morning. I don't have time to write during the day because of work, so I'll stay up late at night to write! Bowing!
