Chapter 1259 The Same Cunning
Before Liang Chongyue could ask any questions, Fei He's sword was already at the neck of the burly man who had spoken.
"Those who don't tell the truth will go to hell."
The burly men were intimidated by Fei He's menacing aura.
The guards' torches drew closer to the group, the light illuminating the twitching on their faces as they showed fear.
Fei He's sword, worn smooth by years of use, gleamed brightly in the moonlight, so piercingly cold that the leader stammered for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
"Since they won't tell, then you should."
Liang Chongyue curled her lips into a cold smile and leaned closer to the man slumped on the ground.
The probing look in those deep eyes sent chills down one's spine.
"What...what did I say?"
They're just as cunning as ever, they won't shed a tear until they see the coffin.
Liang Chongyue raised her hand and pulled out the gold hairpin from her hair. Just as she was smiling, she suddenly thrust it downwards into the man's hand, which was curled up on the ground.
Blood spurted out instantly, splashing onto Liang Chongyue's face.
"If we don't say anything, let's all die together."
Liang Chongyue didn't have that much time and energy to play with these pests, especially if his mother saw his face, which looked remarkably similar to his scumbag father's when he was young.
Liang Chongyue dared not even think about what consequences her mother's compassion would bring.
"The laws of the Great Xia Dynasty are strict; how dare you harm ordinary people with colds at will?!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Chongyue smiled, the smile in her eyes and at the corners of her mouth becoming even more pronounced.
The force of her hand gradually increased, and the hand holding the gold hairpin slowly moved over the back of the man's hand.
The gold hairpin slowly shifted position in the man's palm.
Seeing the man's face turn deathly pale with pain, Liang Chongyue approached him and slowly spoke:
“Wherever I am, that is the law. Tell me honestly who sent you and what your relationship is with these people, and I might leave you with a whole corpse.”
Even the system was startled by Liang Chongyue's voice; it had been a long time since it had seen its host so angry.
That kid is really lucky.
The first meeting happened on the host's most unhappy day, so it's no wonder he died.
Jiang Yubai was confused, but the pain in his hand was unbearable; the hand that had been pierced by the hairpin was almost ruined.
Although he couldn't see it, he could feel the skin on the back of his hand being ripped apart by the terrifying woman in front of him.
Even a celestial being couldn't save him.
"Whoever speaks first, I'll let them go first."
Liang Chongyue released the hand holding the gold hairpin, letting the hairpin remain firmly etched into the man's hand. The man tried to pull it out, but his shoulders were firmly held by the guards behind him.
They can only suffer in vain; the more they struggle, the more they will suffer.
After Liang Chongyue got up, she first glanced at the system. Without her having to give any instructions, the system displayed its panel to the host.
Liang Chongyue looked at the progress being checked on the system panel, then shifted her gaze to Fei He, with Li Yu'an standing to the side.
Fei He's longsword was still pressed against the big man's neck, and he couldn't pull it back for a moment.
Upon receiving the Emperor's gaze, Li Yu'an walked a few steps to the Emperor's side.
Liang Chongyue turned her head and whispered in his ear, "Take Mother with you first. When you leave, make sure to close the curtains on both sides tightly so that the wind doesn't blow them."
Li Yu'an understood His Majesty's meaning, and gave His Majesty a deep look, the meaning in his eyes was all too clear.
It was to tell Liang Chongyue to protect herself.
Liang Chongyue nodded slightly to Li Yu'an, and Li Yu'an then turned and left.
Hearing the slow movement of the carriage behind them, Liang Chongyue gave a glance, and the guards beside her quickly moved closer to the man slumped on the ground.
The man was completely hidden, not even a single hair was visible.
After handing the longsword in her hand to the guard beside her, Fei He personally stepped forward and dislocated the man's jaw.
She let the man open his mouth wide, drooling, his face contorted in pain.
Liang Chongyue and Fei He didn't even give him a second glance.
The two of them were no different from suddenly seeing a ghost in the middle of the night when this person suddenly appeared here.
There was no need for much explanation; it was the result of their long-standing tacit understanding.
No one wanted the Empress Dowager to see that face.
Even if he has no relation to his scumbag father, this face shouldn't even be on an ordinary person's face.
In Liang Chongyue's heart, this was nothing short of a desecration of her long-deceased, scumbag father.
Liang Chongyue and Fei He stood back to back in the wind. Liang Chongyue watched the carriage pass by, while Fei He stared intently at the man who had suddenly appeared.
He was not given the slightest chance to appear in front of his mother.
Having witnessed all sorts of intrigues and schemes in the palace, Xiang Huayue was still worried after His Majesty's departure.
But she knew His Majesty could handle everything.
With His Majesty around, she only needs to take care of herself.
So when Li Yu'an got into the car, Xiang Huayue only felt a little strange, but didn't think much of it.
Li Yu'an was used to remaining calm and composed in the face of adversity.
Having served His Majesty for so many years, I've practically witnessed everything.
He had never seen anything else.
“My lady has something to attend to ahead of her, and it’s getting late, so let me accompany my mother to Huaixiang City first.”
Xiang Huayue, unsuspecting, smiled and poured Li Yu'an a cup of tea.
"Yu'an, come and sit down. This is chilled tea that was chilled in ice before we set off. It tastes best now."
Li Yu'an smiled as he accepted the herbal tea offered by his mother, took a sip, even though he had drunk it countless times before.
When traveling, the chefs in the kitchen dare not make any novel food or snacks; even the tea must be the kind that the masters are used to drinking on a daily basis.
Otherwise, if the masters make even the slightest mistake, they will inevitably be punished, even if they have served for many years.
Even after drinking countless cups of tea, Li Yu'an could still praise it to the skies.
Every now and then, he would tell a few jokes to make Xiang Huayue laugh heartily.
Liang Chongyue listened to her mother's laughter and watched her mother's carriage pass by.
There were seven or eight guards following behind, after the incident where someone suddenly jumped out of the woods and crashed into the carriage.
Liang Chongyue could clearly sense that the number of guards protecting her mother in the forest had more than doubled.
Liang Chongyue only looked away after the carriage carrying her mother disappeared from her sight.
She didn't look at the man slumped on the ground; her first glance was directed at the system.
The system looked at the progress bar that kept spinning on the panel, feeling somewhat embarrassed and not daring to look at its host.
It's useless; it always lets us down when it matters most.
Wouldn't that make it lose face in front of its host?
Seeing that there was no result from the system, Liang Chongyue simply drew his knife and charged at the group of burly men.
The cold glint of the broadsword was frightening, but not as frightening as Liang Chongyue's expression.
The burly men were originally captured together, but the guards pulled them apart when His Majesty approached.
This will make it easier for Your Majesty to deal with these people.
