How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

The girl in front of him was none other than a gold medal killer, known in the industry as "Blood Yama".

At this moment, these men in black were very grateful. If they hadn't had the previous sneak attack and bleeding, they might not have been able to deal with the gold medal killer.

But even a gold medal killer, faced with excessive blood loss and being besieged by so many people, gradually showed signs of fatigue and was unable to cope.

Tong Xin's face became paler and her movements gradually slowed down.

Finally, her eyes suddenly went dark, her feet staggered, and her whole body fell backwards.

In a duel between masters, victory or defeat is often determined by just a single flaw in a split second.

The man in black naturally would not miss this opportunity. He would take advantage of your illness to kill you and stab Tongxin's neck with the iron spike in his hand.

There was no way she could dodge this fatal move.

"I'm sorry, Master. Tong'er is going to break her promise..."

Tong Xin smiled sadly. She was already a dead person, and now she was just dying again.

At this time, the master should have returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and is safe.

However, the agreement between her and her master could no longer be kept.

She had sworn to protect her master for her entire life, but this time, she was going to break her promise.

I really want to see my master one last time, to a faraway place, at least to say goodbye to him properly.

I really want to be the master's maid again...

But, I can't do it anymore.

Chapter 30 I Must Kill Him

Tong Xin closed her eyes, her body leaned backwards and she lost her balance. In this situation, she couldn't make any other movements.

Faced with the fatal move in front of her, she had no chance to dodge and was doomed to die.

At this last moment, an idea flashed through Tongxin's mind, just like when she was about to die.

But at that time, it was her strong desire to survive that made her live and told her not to die.

But this time, she just wanted to hear her master call her Tong'er again. This name gave her meaning in living in this world.

Perhaps her idea worked, a familiar voice came to Tongxin's ears.

"Tong'er!"

She couldn't have mistaken this voice; it must be her master's.

But that's not right. Why does this voice sound so real, as if it's right in front of me?

Tongxin shuddered suddenly and opened her eyes, only to see the iron thorn covered with venom about to touch her throat.

At this critical moment, a burly figure rushed over from the side, pressed her shoulders, pushed her back, and barely avoided the fatal blow.

"when!"

With a slight sound, the burly figure rotated his left arm and swung the heavy weapon in his hand. The heavy force immediately shook away the killer in front of him.

One of the killers had no time to dodge and was hit on the side by the dark heavy soldier. His body was broken on the spot by the huge force, and the whole person flew dozens of meters away in a twisted posture.

The killer died instantly, his upper and lower body cut into two.

At this time, Tongxin also seized the opportunity, exerted a little force with her feet, and stabilized her body that was leaning backwards.

She looked up and saw a tall man standing in front of her, holding a strangely shaped black weapon in his hand. It had no edges or blades and exuded a heavy aura.

Tongxin recognized the person in front of her; it was Uncle Gu who was driving the carriage.

"Tong'er, are you okay? Let me see your wound."

A familiar and kind voice sounded in her ears as she wished. She turned around and saw her master looking at her with a worried look on his face.

Xu Chengling quickly tore off his clothes and bandaged the wound on her arm.

Tongxin escaped death, and now seeing her master again, her eyes couldn't help but redden and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"Lord……"

Tongxin called him, and there seemed to be a different kind of emotion in her voice.

On the other side, the remaining three killers stared at the middle-aged man in front of them. With just one move, the man killed one of their companions.

This man exudes an unfathomable aura. The weapon in his hand is like a sword but not a sword. It is shaped like a whip and has edges. Only a very strong person can wield it with ease.

The heavy sword has no edge, and the great skill is not elaborate. In the world, there is only one person who can use this strange weapon and is of the right age.

But that sword master should have died more than ten years ago, why would he appear here again?

But when I think about the fact that Blood Yama is still alive, it seems to make sense.

After bandaging Tongxin's wound, Xu Chengling couldn't help but look towards Uncle Gu.

Uncle Gu had been a groom in the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than ten years, and this was the first time he saw Uncle Gu take action.

The more Xu Chengling looked at the weapon in his hand, the more familiar it looked. Isn't this the iron mace known as the king of weapon destruction?

On the other side, facing the pressure released by the Sword Master, several men in black looked at each other and considered retreating.

With their strength, they can launch a sneak attack, but if they face the Sword Master head-on, their chances of winning are very low.

What's more, all their weapons were shattered by the black mace in the sword master's hand, and even their knuckles were badly shaken, so they couldn't even hold anything.

"withdraw!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the killer turned around and began to retreat.

The other side is heavily armed and will have difficulty moving, so they won't be able to catch up with them.

"You're not good for the master, and you still want to leave?"

A hint of coldness appeared on Uncle Gu's face. He poured his internal energy into the black mace and swung out several sword energies forward.

"what!"

A scream was heard from the front, and a killer fell to the ground on the spot, with a shocking wound on his back torn open by the sword energy.

Xu Chengling was shocked when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that the sword energy that he could only see in martial arts movies could be seen here.

According to the setting of the original novel, "Qigong" exists in this world, and those masters who practice Qigong can release the Qi and kill people directly from a distance.

It is said that when one practices Qigong to the highest level, an inner elixir will form in the body.

If one reaches this state, not only can one maintain a youthful appearance, but one can even live for hundreds of years.

Isn't this the most common Qi refining and pill forming in fairy tale novels? But the difference from fairy tale novels is that in this world, pill forming is the highest realm.

But does such an old monster that can live for hundreds of years really exist?

After all, Xu Chengling had never seen it with his own eyes, so he did not dare to jump to conclusion.

But in the original novel, there was a master of the Jindan realm in Dayan who had served as the bodyguard of several generations of emperors. Even though several emperors had changed, she was still alive and well.

On the other side, Uncle Gu went to chase the two killers who escaped.

Before leaving, Xu Chengling asked Uncle Gu to leave one person alive.

He must figure out who is targeting him. This is not the first time and it won't be the last.

If we were to say who wants this traitor to die the most, it would undoubtedly be the current empress.

Apart from them, there were only King You and the prince's party.

But with King You's upright character, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would resort to such tricks. After all, everyone in the world knew that he had an army of 400,000 under his command.

If this was just an act, then King You was extremely cunning.

As for the Prince's Party, it is the eunuch force headed by Prince Yu, who have always been thinking about overthrowing the rule of the Empress.

As the empress's advisor and assistant minister, he openly supports the empress and naturally becomes hostile to the prince's party.

We can only wait for Uncle Gu to capture someone alive and then get some information out of him.

After a long time, Uncle Gu came back with two men in black in his hands, threw them on the ground, and said:

"Master, I failed to do my job well and failed to leave any survivors. These killers had poison sacs in their mouths and all committed suicide by taking poison."

"It doesn't matter. Since the other party dared to send out assassins, they are naturally prepared to die without any evidence."

Xu Chengling did not blame Uncle Gu. It was obvious that the other party was coming, and it was indeed difficult to capture him alive.

The other party sent assassins many times, causing his Tong'er to be injured. It seems a bit unreasonable for him not to give something in return.

"Uncle Gu, bring a body back and spread the news that the Prime Minister was attacked, but a person was captured alive."

Xu Chengling said to Uncle Gu.

"Yes, sir."

Uncle Gu nodded and immediately understood what Xu Chengling meant.

The master is planning to lure the snake out of its hole. Once the other party knows that there are still people alive, they will definitely find ways to kill him.

After all, only the dead can keep secrets.

……

Everything that just happened was seen clearly by the figure hiding on the roof.

"As your majesty expected, someone wants to harm the prime minister."

Xue Yuan muttered to herself, and her figure disappeared on the spot.

In the palace, in the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, I'm back."

Xue Yuan appeared silently behind Yan Qiaoling and told her everything she had just seen.

"Haha, he actually dared to attack my Xu Lang. I must kill him!"

Yan Qiaoling couldn't help but clench her fists, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

"Xue Yuan, did you see clearly where the killer came from?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is Prince Yu's Mansion."

Chapter 31 Tong'er's Request

Xu Chengling put one arm around Tongxin's arm and the other hand on her soft buttocks, and carried her back to the Xiangguo Mansion.

Because of excessive blood loss, her little face looked very pale, like a weak kitten, curling up her petite body in his arms.

The blood soaked through the black tights she was wearing, vaguely outlining the girl's delicate body which had not yet fully developed.

Fortunately, there was still the faint sound of Tongxin's heartbeat rising and falling in her chest.

"Master, please let Tong'er down. Your clothes are stained with her blood."

Tong Xin's face was pale. She slowly opened her bloodless lips and spoke in a somewhat humble voice.

Xu Chengling listened to Tong'er's words. This little girl was injured so badly, but she still cared so much about her identity as a girl. It made people feel distressed and sad.

"Little fool, you are not only my little maid, but also my pupil."

Xu Chengling gently scratched Tongxin's nose and smiled at her.

"Ah... Master."

Tong Xin's pretty face blushed slightly. When she heard his words, she felt warm in her heart for some reason.

"Don't talk, don't move, and take a good rest. This is an order."

Xu Chengling ordered the girl in his arms.

"Yes."

Tongxin nodded slightly and buried her little face in Xu Chengling's chest.

The master's chest was very warm. She sniffed the scent on the master's body and felt reassured.
