Chapter 371: What Do Single Dogs Know?
Through the pearl and jade curtain, Zhu Wen's figure could be vaguely seen. He was lying on his side on the dragon bed with a palace maid, pretending to be asleep.
Upon hearing the guards' report that the 100 beauties they had gathered had all arrived, they were informed that...
He sat up abruptly, his face stern yet cunning.
He seemed eager to admire these "trophies".
Zhu Wen instructed:
"Little Li, select 20 beauties for me first. Remember, be sharp-eyed."
"Yes,"
Little Li, standing beside him, responded and walked into the group of beauties.
He looked left and right, picking out the beautiful women like choosing watermelons.
Xiao Li Zi was a young eunuch who had entered the palace and had never met Qiu Zi Yue before.
After careful selection, he chose 20 beauties and brought them out to stand on the other side.
"Your Majesty, the selection has been made. Please take a look."
"Alright, keep those 20, and take the remaining 80 out and behead them," Zhu Wen ordered.
"Yes".
The guards came forward to take the people away, and the 80 beauties were terrified.
"Your Majesty, spare my life, spare my life!"
The shrill cries continued unabated.
Qiu Ziyue, Zhao Wanqing, Xiao Wan, and Arutai are also among the 20 beauties.
Inside the main hall, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Several beauties struggled, but were immediately splattered with blood on the spot, a gruesome sight.
Qiu Ziyue couldn't take it anymore and told her friends to take action.
In an instant, Xiao Wan and Arutai snatched the swords from the guards' waists and hacked them to death one by one.
Qiu Ziyue and Zhao Wanqing flew towards Zhu Wen with their bare hands.
Before entering the palace, they knew they would be searched, so they didn't bring any weapons with them.
Even the hairpins on her head were confiscated by the guards.
"You old bastard, you scoundrel, give me your life!"
"Oh no! Someone has broken into the palace!"
Zhu Wen shouted and hurriedly got up to flee.
How could Qiu Ziyue let him escape? He leaped forward, grabbed Zhu Wen, and strangled him.
With a sudden twist, Zhu Wen breathed his last.
The main hall was in complete chaos. Qiu Ziyue said to the beauties:
"Don't panic, I'll take you back in a bit."
"Swish, swish"
As they were talking, two metal fishing nets fell from the sky.
Qiu Ziyue and Zhao Wanqing were instantly bound tightly like rice dumplings.
Haha, hahaha
A sly laugh came from behind me.
"Qiu Ziyue, even if you have extraordinary abilities, don't forget that experience matters most."
"I've been a veteran of countless battles for decades, I refuse to believe I can't defeat a little girl like you."
Qiu Ziyue turned her head and realized that the palace maid who had been standing next to Zhu Wen was actually Zhu Wen in disguise.
The one whose neck she twisted was just a scapegoat in disguise.
The real Zhu Wen took off his palace maid's clothes, revealing himself in imperial attire.
"Zhu Wen, you old scoundrel, don't be so smug."
Although Qiu Ziyue was trapped, her words remained full of confidence and authority.
"You think you can trap me like this? You underestimate me."
Zhu Wen laughed heartily.
"Qiu Ziyue, no matter how powerful you are, you've been subdued by me now, haven't you? This net is made of special materials."
It's specifically designed to deal with people like you who possess extraordinary skills. Let's see how you struggle now!
When the beauties saw Qiu Ziyue and Zhao Wanqing trapped, they all gasped in shock, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
Xiao Wan and Arutai exclaimed in surprise:
"Sister Qiu, what should we do?"
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly.
"Don't rush."
Zhu Wen looked at Qiu Ziyue, who was now bound, and felt extremely smug.
"Little girl, now that you're in my hands, let's see what tricks you can pull!"
"You old scoundrel, you have lost all conscience! How could you disregard the moral order of the world and act so recklessly? You are unworthy of being a monarch!"
Qiu Ziyue angrily rebuked.
Zhao Wanqing also said angrily:
"You shameless and despicable Zhu Wen, you'd resort to such lowly tricks!"
What kind of hero of troubled times? He's nothing but a coward! Bah!
Zhu Wen narrowed his eyes, a smug smile spreading across his face, his voice tinged with a sinister undertone:
"Go ahead and curse, it's been a long time since I've seen such wild horses like you."
"Now that you've fallen into my hands, no matter how capable you are, you can't escape!"
Although Qiu Ziyue was tightly bound by the metal mesh, her eyes remained as sharp as a knife.
She glared at Zhu Wen through gritted teeth, her anger almost setting the hall ablaze.
"Zhu Wen, you shameless scoundrel! You think you can trap me this way? I'll kill you sooner or later!"
Before she could finish speaking, Qiu Ziyue suddenly exerted her strength.
Despite being tightly bound, she relied on her great strength and agile reflexes...
He actually sprang up from the ground and crashed into Zhu Wen!
This move completely surprised everyone, even Zhu Wen himself didn't expect Qiu Ziyue to have such explosive power.
Caught off guard, Zhu Wen stumbled and fell on the dragon throne, nearly rolling off.
His smug smile froze instantly, replaced by an expression of fury.
He slammed his fist on the armrest and roared:
"Guards! Sever this crazy girl's tendons in her hands and feet, let's see how she dances then!"
"Yes!"
The guards responded in unison, drawing their daggers and preparing to carry out the order.
However, at that very moment, Qiu Ziyue's gaze became unusually calm.
She stopped struggling and instead spoke in a chilling tone:
"Zhu Wen, if you dare to lay a finger on me, I'll make you regret ever being born!"
Don't think you can control everything; your end is just around the corner!
The beauties around were all stunned when they heard this.
They didn't know why Qiu Ziyue was so confident, but everyone felt a surge of admiration.
Zhao Wanqing quietly approached Qiu Ziyue and whispered:
"Good buddy, I'm in this with you. If things go wrong, we'll both be wiped out!"
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly.
"Wanqing, what nonsense are you talking about? Can you not be so dramatic? Don't worry, the best is yet to come."
"You're just being stubborn. They're about to cut your tendons and ligaments, and you're still acting like a clueless idiot."
Zhao Wanqing said.
"You're just a single dog, no man cares about you, what do you know? I have two husbands, I'm not afraid, you just wait and see."
Qiu Ziyue smiled wryly.
Seeing Qiu Ziyue's composure, Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "You're still being sarcastic. You'll make me regret this sooner or later."
Just as the guard with his knife was getting closer and closer to Qiu Ziyue, Qiu Ziyue suddenly looked outside the hall with a very cold gaze.
She shouted:
"Why aren't you making a move yet!"
Immediately afterwards, hurried footsteps and faint shouts of battle could be heard outside...
Zhu Wen was clearly distracted by the noise outside, and frowned as he asked:
"What's going on? Who's making a racket outside?"
Before the guards could answer, a familiar gunshot suddenly rang out—
"Bang! Bang!"
After two loud explosions, the main hall doors shattered, and three figures rushed in amidst the flying dust.
"My wife, are you alright?"
"Twilight Sparkle, you're not suffering, are you?"
Qi Yuxuan, wielding a short sword, Li Cunxu, holding two pistols, and Leng Feng, carrying a long sword, leaped into the room.
Seeing the reinforcements arrive, a hint of relief flashed in Qiu Ziyue's eyes, but she remained calm:
"It's alright, now it's our time to counterattack."
Zhu Wen's face immediately turned ashen. He pointed at Qiu Ziyue and the others and roared hysterically:
"They've all rebelled! They've all rebelled! Seize them, or I'll make you all pay with your lives!"
But the situation had already reversed.
Qi Yuxuan, Li Cunxu, and Leng Feng suddenly leaped forward and attacked Zhu Wen.
His sharp figure was so elegant and graceful, and his handsome face was so cool and extraordinary.
This scene caught Zhu Wen completely off guard. He had thought victory was assured, but he never expected that Qiu Ziyue and the others would have such methods.
