She has come to the capital in person and cast divine curses on many officials. Just as the document stated, the high-ranking officials who were pierced by arrows on the porch would be killed if they continued to commit atrocities against the people. These statements spread from the mouths of the common people to the upper class in a short period of time. Officials of all ranks turned a blind eye to it on the surface and at most made some ridicule. As high-ranking officials of the Great Zhao, how could they be frightened by such gossip? But in reality, everyone is a little scared. The news was not groundless. Those arrows and the book stickers that looked like assassination notices were indeed stabbed in front of their door. The so-called Saint of Mercy should have indeed arrived, but no one knows when she will take action. Perhaps it is true as people say, that they have now been taught some evil magic by the Dark Sky, and they will die if they continue to exploit the people. In a short while, many of the ministers who were not honest became more cautious in their behavior.
As for the truly treacherous and powerful officials, they had different attitudes towards this... But no matter what, what Xi Heng is going to do next will not change. …… The building is full of flowers. She yawned and got up from the messy quilt, then casually smoothed over her messy hair and tucked it behind her ears. "Isn't your hair a little long?" She pinched her hair and rubbed it. When she saw that the ends of her hair were turning slightly white, she casually brushed it aside. Glancing to the side, she saw Hong Ji had already gotten up before her, put on her clothes and sat in front of the dressing table to get dressed. Hearing Xi Heng muttering to himself, Junior Sister tilted her head and took a closer look: "No, it just dropped to the waist." "I always feel it's too troublesome. Should I cut it a little shorter in the future?" When Xi Heng was having fun on the bed, he often accidentally pressed down his hair, causing his interest to temporarily decrease. "Cut it short?" Yan Hongji stopped what he was doing and blinked, not quite understanding. In her opinion, the hair on one's body is given by one's parents, and both men and women should have long hair, or just trim the edges at most. If the hair is short, it will be like having an obvious scar on the body. Generally, only people who have been punished will have their hair shaved, and cutting it without permission is an act of heresy. But...her senior sister is an independent person. She shook her head slightly, and even though she didn't want to object directly, she just changed the subject: "Come to think of it, I wanted to ask you when we met the day before yesterday, why are there always white spots between the strands of hair? Could it be that you have too many worries in your heart, so that your hair has turned white?" Xi Heng tilted her head. She felt that there was nothing to worry about. After all, whenever something happens, I have already thought about how to solve the problem before I worry about it. Then, just follow your usual straightforward nature. As for the strands of white hair, they were simply the result of the loss of energy from cutting open his palm to absorb blood when using the Blood Wave Sword. "No." She picked up a bunch of hair that looked like it was highlighted and replied casually, "I think it looks pretty good."
“…is very special.” Junior Sister said softly. In this era, perhaps it is quite special...Xi Heng also thinks so. For some reason, she suddenly recalled the world before she traveled through time. In that era, this kind of hair color was not considered too special. As he was thinking, he got up, dressed, opened the window and looked out at the outside world. There were people walking on the street, their long gowns swaying, lanterns hanging down and swaying in the breeze, it was clearly daytime, but many lights were still on. Before the carriages and horses slowly passed by the pavilion, acquaintances would clasp their fists and bow to each other as a gesture of greeting, and then chat and laugh as they walked together. Below, an artist was plucking the strings of a musical instrument and singing verses in a crisp voice like that of a yellow oriole, which was quite pleasant to the ears along with the singing of birds in the early morning. This strange world seemed like the ancient times in her memory. Maybe after a hundred or several hundred years, it could develop to the same or similar level as the modern world she once lived in? That way, there will be some freshness. "However, I have to make sure I can live that long." Xi Heng whispered to himself. "What did senior sister just say?" The young girl beside him didn't hear clearly and asked with her head tilted. "nothing." …… into the night. Xi Heng was stretching his arms and stretching his muscles. She had spent most of her time during the past three days playing on the bed or beside the bed, leaving her body with only some strange postures to remember. Before taking action tonight, I still need to recover my physical condition. "Hey." After performing the yoga pose of raising her foot, the girl let out a light breath and stretched out her hand to put on the tight outerwear hanging beside her layer by layer. The sword blade was hung back on his waist, and he took another plain-looking flying sword, pinched his fingers with the spirit stone and chanted a spell to draw a few blood and fire patterns on the back of his arm... When everything was ready, Xi Heng left the room and went to the open balcony. As soon as the wooden door leading directly to the outside world was opened, the night wind blew up her messy black and white hair. Xi Heng picked up a red hairband and tied a simple high ponytail for herself. Her hair swayed slightly in the wind as she stepped forward onto the thick wooden railing of the balcony. Then, it just followed the inertia and falling momentum and fell down from the building which was more than ten meters high. "There are quite a few people to be killed tonight..." She had not been spending all these days in the arms of her junior sister. While her junior sister was busy managing the family business, she had taken the time to secretly visit the palace and ask Zhao Chuxiao for information about officials.
Chu Xiao was the emperor after all, and he had a detailed understanding of the power and strength of his officials. Basically, there is record of all possible information about warriors in each official's residence. Xi Heng casually glanced at the previous information about dark power or the development of dark power, and his eyes fell on the information about transformation power. The intelligence not only contained the name of the Black Ling Sword Master, but also information about several other Hua Jin warriors who had some connection with the officials she wanted to kill. Whether it was a rumor or a fact, it was all recorded in full. For example, the old treacherous minister named Cai Yuan had a son named Cai Jun who was known as a martial arts genius. This person has been missing for a long time, but more than ten years ago, he had already achieved the highest level of hidden power from the top martial arts champion. As long as he is still alive, he should have reached the level of transformation power. Xi Heng believed that this person should have died. If the other party was still alive, she wouldn't have to wait for the Black Ling Sword Master to assassinate her in the previous life. As for the other one or two martial artists who were related to officials in the court, they were all folk legends with no basis and there was no need to pay any attention to them. Even if there is, it doesn't matter. Xi Heng has been fighting in the battlefield of Northern Frontier for so long that he has already realized that he is also a strong one among the Hua Jin warriors. Coupled with the spirit stone magic flying sword, even if she faced two Hua Jin masters at the same time, she was confident that she could defeat them. At most, she would just find it difficult to chase them to death. In addition to gathering intelligence on the target, she also went to the Qinyunxuan shop in the capital and bought a copy of all the intelligence on high-ranking officials from the killer organization "Blood Sons". She also invited four Blood Sons killers to go with her to assassinate and deal with the treacherous officials who fled in the chaos. It's a pity that even though she was a fellow practitioner of the Bloodline Sword, Xue Zi wouldn't give her any discount. Xi Heng was unwilling to pay several thousand taels of silver for the hiring fee, so he finally demonstrated a blood wave sword technique, claiming that he had achieved the power of transformation by doing so. He also promised to teach these sword techniques after the matter was accomplished, and only then was the fee waived. …… Xi Heng descended from the high platform, his footsteps silently touching the ground, and he walked forward slowly. On the way, we passed by a clothing and decoration store with the style of Qin Xie Chang Xiang. Even though winter is approaching, there are no cotton-padded clothes or thick clothes for sale here. Instead, there are many alluring clothes on display, like those of Hu Ji, which have various beautiful decorations. However, the main fabric is short and it is difficult to cover the whole body. The first thing she saw when she entered the store was many skirts with slits all the way to the waist. She subconsciously thought about how Junior Sister Hongji would look when she wore such clothes. "I have more important things to do..." Shaking his head, Xi Heng walked to the counter where various decorations and veil masks were displayed. Since most of the people who come to Qin Xie Chang Xiang are children of high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in the capital, many of them see each other every day. When they don't want to be recognized, these veils and masks can come in handy. And because they were all sold to children of wealthy families, they were all made very exquisitely and beautifully. Xi Heng picked out a half-face white mask with red patterns on it, threw a few taels of silver onto the counter and left. The mask covered his eyes, and he performed light skills and stepped on the eaves. It transformed into the shadow of a swallow in the night and flew to the area where the officials of the court lived. By studying the map information, she had already decided which one to kill first and which one to kill later, and had also already decided whether to kill just one person or massacre the entire clan. The latter was finally chosen - this would also make it easier for the imperial guards to extort money, food and other valuables in the future, as they would not be hindered or intercepted by the treacherous officials' families using their power and connections.
The main purpose of her trip today is money and food. Only with money and food can she continue to maintain the military operations on all sides and protect the border cities and the people. If we want to take the national wealth out of the hands of these big families, we can't just rely on words and reason. These powerful families who have maintained their wealth by exploiting the people and embezzling the country's funds will not be moved to tears by a few words and voluntarily give away the property they have embezzled over the past decades to the country. This can only be achieved through a bloody storm. …… It didn't take long before Xi Heng arrived at the door of the first target. This is where Li Yuan, the weakest of the six treacherous ministers, lives. This Fang family courtyard is not the home of Lord Li Yuan, but even so, the scale of the courtyard is wider than that of ordinary inner city families. The entrance hall is large and you can faintly hear voices inside. There were two burly guards standing in front of the door. They turned their heads as soon as they heard the voice, and the next moment a blood-spiked sword energy easily pierced their skulls. Before they could react, they fell to the ground dead. Xi Heng gradually emerged from the darkness, and at the same time, several graceful female figures wearing black and red clothes and veils appeared vaguely beside him. These are the four people from the Blood Son Organization stationed in the capital, and their strength is all hidden energy. Although this is not enough to help Xi Heng face the powerful Hua Jin masters head-on, he can still rest assured by killing some people who are trying to escape in the chaos. "Have you been waiting for me?" This organization is quite dedicated. "It's already midnight, you're late." A soft voice like a ghost floated into my ears. "You should get dressed up." Xi Heng found an excuse for being late and said: "Since we are a few minutes late, we should kill the first one as soon as possible." "By the way, remember to let go of the weak servants wearing rough cloth. We are going to kill the people from this family. You should be able to tell their temperament." "Also, if you suddenly have a kind heart - I don't know if you assassins still have this thing, just let him go." The reason why he said this was because Xi Heng himself was not a heartless person. If he saw someone he was reluctant to kill, he would just let him go. After all, her purpose today was not to exterminate the entire family, but to create certain conditions for the subsequent confiscation of property and looting, without having to kill everyone. After hearing this, the four blood sons remained silent. They turned around to face the clan land in front of them and slowly drew their swords in silence. The Li family in front is the weakest among the traitors. Judging from the two pieces of intelligence, they only have one or two secret guards, so they are not a big concern. It's the perfect place to practice without seeing blood for a few days. After saying that, Xi Heng walked forward nonchalantly, swung his sword in a flower pattern, and then swung his sword. The red line shattered the door lock, and the gate suddenly opened. The next moment, she used her Qinggong skills and turned into a blood shadow, running towards the main house of the courtyard where candles were burning. The blood sons in the back followed closely behind, killing those who were near the candlelight and the sound. A red shadow rushed into the room, and before the people inside could scream, their heads were thrown high into the air, and blood splattered everywhere, wetting the cardboard on the window edge, and dotted it with red spots like plum blossoms.
After cleaning this area, we went to another house. After several rounds, he only encountered a Ming Jin Dacheng warrior who came to defend. After piercing his heart with a simple defensive counterattack that required no strength, Xi Heng let the other party scream in pain and waited there for a while, but no other warriors came. "strangeness……" She then jumped to a high place and looked around, but she did not see any distinguished person in the courtyard being protected and escaping by the guards. "That guy named Li Yuan doesn't seem to be here. Could it be that he was really scared by a note and didn't dare to stay in the family, so he found another place to hide?" "Then just kill some of them first, and then replenish them when he shows up later." Xi Heng thought.
