Chapter 4 The Swordsman

The sky gradually dimmed, and the surrounding vitality gradually subsided, leaving only the whistling wind.

The cemetery chosen by the Yun family for Yunzhuo was indeed a good place, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, and no one ever stepping foot on it, but it was just a lonely grave, which was quite careless.

If it weren't for the wooden tablet inserted there, someone might have come to see it and wouldn't have known it was a tomb.

This reminded Feng Qi of Wan Shitong's words about the unpopular fifth lady in the Yun Mansion.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the one who is favored by thousands of people in the Yun Mansion is either the female master who is a legitimate daughter, or this young lady who is a concubine.

It seems that Yun Mansion is hiding something in the meantime.

Feng Qi opened the medicine bottle in his hand, and the pungent smell of medicine powder came out. Feng Qi's hand shook slightly, and all the medicine powder fell on Yunzhuo's pale face.

There is a witchcraft in the world, which can steal the sky and change the sun. It can hide a person's face, make him immortal and invulnerable, and is extremely clever.

That's what the know-it-all said.

After waiting quietly for a moment, some changes appeared on Yunzhuo's face. There seemed to be foreign objects moving under his fair face, and his whole face instantly became terrifying.

But in the blink of an eye, Yunzhuo's face peeled off and slid to the side.

Looking at Yun Zhuo's face underneath, Feng Qi was horrified.

She stretched out her sleeve and wiped the blood on Yunzhuo's face. She was so shocked that she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Yunzhuo's hidden true appearance was exposed to the air, and something was constantly expanding.

Feng Qi only felt that her limbs were a little limp, and her whole body collapsed on the ground. This seemed to be the first time that she had been so embarrassed.

If a person walks out from the dark, it is Huai Zhun.

He said he was leaving that day, but Huaizhun still couldn't let go, so he turned back to have a look.

He frowned and approached, looking at the scene in the coffin. His eyes twitched slightly, suppressing the fear in his heart, and helped Feng Qi up.

"Junior sister..."

He could clearly feel Feng Qi's whole body shaking, and he didn't know whether it was sadness or anger.

Yunzhuo suddenly had a face like Feng Qi's!

Huaizhun had never met Fengqi's sister, so many things were connected together, and he had some guesses in his mind.

Yunzhuo is Fengqi's lost sister?

Before he could express the doubts in his heart, Feng Qi seemed to sense it and shook his head, "She is not my sister."

How many years apart are you and your sister? How could it be possible that you and your sister look exactly the same, since we are not of the same mother?

Even though the facial features were quite similar, Feng Qi knew that Yun Zhuo could not be the person he was looking for.

It’s just this face…

How can there be two people who look exactly the same in the world?

Huaizhun was in a trance when he looked at the person in the coffin. He had never seen Yun Zhuo's appearance before, but he never thought about it...

With so many thoughts in his mind, Feng Qi always felt that someone seemed to have arranged it deliberately.

This matter is like an unfathomable network, leading Feng Qi step by step into a darker abyss.

At this time, Huaizhun also knew that what Feng Qi was investigating was no longer within his control, but he had reasons to continue.

He no longer stopped or persuaded, "I'm afraid the road ahead will be difficult. Junior sister, if you continue to delve deeper, I'm worried..."

"I know that senior brother has some doubts, but now, how should I stop?"

Huaizhun whispered: "You are carrying the Ghost King's Order now. You must not expose your identity again, otherwise I'm afraid things will be more complicated."

"I know, thank you senior brother for reminding me."

Feng Qi managed to stand up straight, "Senior brother, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Huaizhun knew that this matter was not a trivial matter, so he no longer refused and nodded slightly, "Just say what you say. What you can do will definitely live up to your trust."

Carefully recalling every moment of getting along with Yunzhuo, I never noticed anything strange at all.

When she met Yun Zhuo, Yun Zhuo wore the face that she knew well. It was the day before she sneaked into the border town.

Someone deliberately covered her face. Did she do it voluntarily? To avoid the Yun family?

No longer thinking about it, Feng Qi simply explained a few words, and Huai Zhun left with Yun Zhuo's body.

This matter has nothing to do with Huaizhun. He is seeing himself sinking deeper and deeper into the situation, and he must not drag others into the trap.

He just asked Brigadier General Huai to bury Yunzhuo's body properly, and he could decide the rest by himself.

Feng Qi looked at Huaizhun's leaving figure and felt something strange in his heart. Yun Zhuo suffered a lot before his death, but he still felt uneasy after his death.

She was still holding tightly in her hand the hairpin she had just pulled out of Yunzhuo's head. Yunzhuo once said that this was a birthday gift specially made for her by her mother.

It can be considered a very important thing.

I don't know when a crescent moon hung on the treetops, bringing a bit of chill. The cold moonlight spread the gentleness all over the place, but it seemed fragmented.

Feng Qi opened the sack, and sure enough a man fell out of it.

A half-grown little girl was covered in scars, her limbs were tied up, and there were deep blood marks.

A pair of innocent and watery eyes looked around in horror. When his eyes fell on Feng Qi, he became excited and crawled back.

There was something stuffed in her mouth, so she couldn't speak clearly. She could only hear some strange whimpering sounds.

Feng Qi didn't say anything, but stretched out his foot and stepped on the little girl's body, making her unable to move any further.

She turned her back to the moonlight, and her whole body seemed to be coated with a layer of brilliance.

Feng Qi neatly pulled out the sharp blade from his waist and squatted down. The sharp blade shone with a cold light, as if signaling death.

The little girl no longer struggled, but closed her eyes in despair. Maybe death is also a kind of relief.

But after waiting for a while, I didn't feel the pain I expected. Instead, I felt that the rope binding me was loosened, and even the things in my mouth were pulled out.

The little girl looked blankly at the woman in black who had withdrawn the sharp blade, "You...won't kill me?"

Feng Qi didn't make any extra moves, he just looked at her condescendingly, "Why don't you leave quickly?"

The little girl couldn't care less. She stood up, covered her wounds and prepared to leave shakily.

But after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind, so he decided not to leave and knelt down directly in front of Feng Qi.

She buried her head very low and burst into tears, "Thank you so much for saving my life, young master!"

Feng Qi didn't raise his eyes, "Why are you back?"

"Young Master, I can see that you are not a bad person. I have something to ask of you. I also ask you to avenge my young lady!"

But Feng Qi didn't want to listen to the little girl's nonsense and turned around to leave.

Unexpectedly, the little girl grabbed Feng Qi's clothes tightly and began to cry involuntarily.

"Female Young Master, please, please! My girl has a brilliant nature, but she was tricked by a villain and sent to the battlefield. My girl's body is completely gone! I am just a maid, I don't have such extraordinary abilities as you, Young Master, please, Young Master!"

"

Feng Qi must be a good person in this outfit, or so she thought.

The expression on Feng Qi's face finally changed. She leaned down slightly, stretched out her slender fingers and lifted the little girl's chin.

"What did you just say? Your girl was plotted by a villain?"

Her voice was exceptionally clear and inexplicably pleasant. The little girl was in a daze for a moment, but she probably saw hope.

"My girl was waiting for the general's triumphant return in her boudoir, but one day she met someone without knowing it. She suddenly told me that she was going to look for the general, and somehow left the house that night. I don't know...

"

"call out--"

Before the little girl finished speaking, a sharp arrow shot out from nowhere and pierced the little girl's chest.

The speed was so fast that Feng Qi didn't even react.

Feng Qi hurriedly supported the little girl, but he could only watch her slowly die in his arms.

"咻咻——"

Several more sharp arrows struck, seemingly seeking Feng Qi's life.

Feng Qi, who was on guard, dodged again and again, and was slightly startled when he saw several men in black walking out from the dark.

Killing people and silencing them? Is it because you know something terrible?

Those men were so menacing that they drew out the sharp blades from their waists and rushed towards Feng Qi.

Fengqi was already surrounded and had no way to retreat. Just when he was about to fight to the death, he saw ghost soldiers coming out of the darkness.

Seeing the ghost soldiers, the group of men in black looked at each other and did not dare to move for the time being.

Only then did Feng Qi remember that he had the Ghost King's Order hanging on his waist, which meant that since he was currently working for the underground city, he was naturally protected by the underground city.

She took off the Ghost King's Order and held it up high. The man in black seemed stunned for a moment, then he bent over and slowly disappeared into the night.

The man in black was wary, so he stopped stepping forward. Even the violent look he had just now dissipated a bit.

The ghost soldiers who suddenly arrived saw the men in black disperse and retreated quietly.

A man in white clothes stands in the beautiful moonlight, looking like a god.

Looking at Wan Shitong who appeared at an unknown time, Feng Qi walked over, already full of questions in his heart.

But before Feng Qi could open his mouth, Wan Shitong spoke.

"I know what you want to ask, but it's about Yunzhuo, and I can't reveal too much about it. Please do the next thing for me first, and I will give you a clear path."

Feng Qi did not ask further questions, but nodded slightly, "What's the matter?"

"The underground city is mostly monitored by the imperial minions. Today, the imperial court sent a group of people to search for the whereabouts of the underground city. This makes the city owner very distressed."

He suddenly smiled, quite mysteriously, "I want you to sneak into the palace and find the emperor's personal belongings to serve as a warning to others."

This is intimidation.

But does he really feel relieved to leave such a big thing to him?

"Aren't you afraid of backfire?"

Wan Shitong stretched out his fingers and tapped Feng Qi's mask, but no sound was made.

"This is the city lord's warning to the emperor. Although the imperial court and the rivers and lakes are inseparable, they cannot be separated from each other. If the imperial court has a wrong idea, the tranquility of the mountains and rivers will change."

This was telling the emperor that Dungeon had the ability to quietly sneak into the palace and take his life, so it was best not to offend Dungeon.

Feng Qi didn't think about it and just agreed.

"Is there a time limit?"

"The sooner the better, I will tell you what you want to know after it is done."

After saying that, Wan Shitong took another object from his waist. It was a simple rag doll with several Sanskrit characters written in cinnabar, which was quite strange.

"Place this thing in the Emperor's Palace."

When Feng Qi took the witchcraft doll, Wan Shitong carefully observed the changes in her expression, but could not see anything wrong.

He sighed, seemingly disappointed, but the color in his eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Fengqi is not as interesting as Yunzhuo. It is dull and wooden, which is really boring.

Seeing that Fengqi is really obedient, Wanshitong feels relieved.

"Do you know what you are?"

Wan Shitong suddenly asked.

Feng Qi raised his eyes, looking slightly cold and indifferent, and replied calmly: "I am a knife, a killing knife."

Wan Shitong seemed to be very interested in Feng Qi's answer, "Oh? What about me?"

"Ghost, the ghost who controls the knife."

Wan Shitong couldn't help but smile. He seemed to like this answer. His eyes looking at Feng Qi were a little softer.

"The underground city has prepared an outfit for you. Come back someday and take a look. If you want to take it with you, you can take it with you. The journey is steep and the road is long, so you have to be careful."

Where is the Imperial City? It is a place where the emperor is the leader and important ministers gather. It is really difficult for a little gangster to enter and exit quietly.

Since ancient times, many people have risked their lives to enter the palace and assassinate the emperor. Most of them died at the hands of the imperial guards, leaving no intact corpses.

I was lucky enough to enter the emperor's chamber, but didn't he die in the hands of the emperor's personal guards in the end?

But Feng Qi is not afraid. If you want to get something, you must pay something.

When he raised his eyes again, Wan Shitong had already left under the escort of ghost soldiers.

It's about Yunzhuo, why don't we say more?

How many secrets does Yunzhuo hide that he doesn't know about?

While his mind was wandering, Fengqi suddenly felt a dull pain in his waist. It seemed that the injury from that day had not yet healed.

She looked towards the direction where the man in black was leaving, wondering what kind of existence Yunzhuo had provoked?

I just listened to a few more words, but they would lead them to kill and silence them. If the ghost soldiers hadn't appeared today, I might not have been able to escape.
