"Alright." Liao Qingtian lowered his eyes, looking at Elder Helian respectfully as he saw Elder Helian walking into the inn.
After a while, he turned over and instructed his trusted aide, Lord Zhang, "How did you handle the Zhao Family who stirred up a lot of trouble a while ago?"
Lord Zhang went blank for a moment before replying, "It's settled, the old lady refused to take the money, so I ordered a few people to destroy their house, they have been quiet ever since."
"Go and handle it again." Liao Qingtian squinted his eyes and said, "Since we have already reached this step, let's tie up all the loose ends. What's the use of keeping an old lady alive?"
Sensing the cruelty in his tone, Lord Zhang could not help but lower his voice, "Your humble servant will go now."
"Make yourself invisible." Liao Qingtian had no idea why his heart had not been at ease since the appearance of the Retired Emperor.
Lord Zhang lowered his eyes, "General Liao, don't worry about it. Killing people is nothing for our troops."
"You may leave." Liao Qingtian leaned on the carriage, slowly closing his eyes while speaking, "I need to take some rest as well."
If things were not as tense, he would never allow Lord Zhang to do this during the day.
After all, it was just an old lady who lived in the broken, dark alley.
Noon - in the sun.
The mercenary dressed in black knelt in front of Helian Wei Wei. "Young master, Liao Qingtian has employed the assassination troop from the city watch guards, do we need to follow them?"
"Of course." Helian Wei Wei was dressed in white, her lips curled while she smiled, "How about Master Hei? Is he here?"
The mercenary nodded his head, "Second Master Hei was with us the whole day, he even asked me the reason why you called for him."
"There is some business to do." Helian Wei Wei played with the cup in her hand. "Tell Master Hei to help me in a fight, I will give him a restaurant as a gift in return."
The mercenary knew that the two masters had a great relationship just like brothers and sisters, thus, he nodded as he accepted the command and withdrew.
Governor Chen trembled with fear after listening to their conversation, "The Master Hei mentioned by Princess Consort earlier, is he the one from the Hei family?" Oh gosh, how many legendary people with fearsome reputation had arrived in this provincial capital!
At this moment, Lord Chen was still unaware of the arrival of Retired Emperor. If he knew, he would definitely not be as shocked by the appearance of Second Master Hei.
On the other side, Helian Wei Wei took a sip of tea and said, "It's him. It has been some time since he was grounded by Old Master Hei, this time, he is desperate to come out."
"Oh right, Lord Chen, is there anyone available from your side? I don't need many, my people are already good at fighting, so you just need to send two or three people for us to look good." Helian Wei Wei looked back and smiled.
Lord Chen was confused. "Why does Princess Consort need people?"
"To rescue the beauty, of course. How can I let my second brother fight alone in a bloody battle." It was easy for Helian Wei Wei to say.
But Lord Chen could smell something fishy from her words…
The politics in the provincial capital would probably undergo a complete revolution.
Who said that there would not be a change in politics?
Liao Qingtian tried his best to think of ways to please the Retired Emperor, yet the Retired Emperor refused to meet him at all.
On the other hand, the Retired Emperor was wondering about some other things. Not even one of the shadow guards whom he sent out to transfer a message for the cold brat had returned.
Most of all, the retired emperor had always been a calm person. Now that he had just arrived in the provincial capital, he did not want to cause a big scene, although Liao Qingtian had recognized him.
At this point, Liao Qingtian was relieved. There was nothing to be feared when the Elder was on his side.
The person with the surname of Wei had no power and no rights, even his private advisor had been captured by them. There was no chance for him to cause any trouble.
After all, word of mouth alone could not be taken as evidence. Even if he mentioned Bayview Seafood Restaurant in the court, those who were involved in this case had either moved to the suburbs or died a long time ago.
He did not believe the person with the surname of Wei had the ability to let the dead speak!
Thinking of this, Liao Qingtian smiled in relief, temporarily putting aside the fact that he had offended the Little Seventh Prince.
No matter how much the Retired Emperor pampered the Seventh Prince, he would not withdraw his position solely due to this incident.
Now, all he needed to do was to sit and watch a good show, seeing how the person named Wei would dig his own grave!
At this time, Liao Qingtian was still unaware that the person who was digging his own grave was he himself…
The battle in the dark alley had officially been kicked off.
"Didn't someone tell you people that nobody is allowed to enter this alley? I advise you to make way!"
It was the first time Master Hei had been threatened ever since he was born, he raised his brows and spoke coldly, "What if I don't?"
Looking at this cold and domineering man, the leader felt a rising trace of fear in his heart. But who were they, they were people who came from the military, why should they be afraid of him?
"Refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Attack!"
Chapter 516 - Wei Wei, Get Ready To Fight!
The leading burly man gave a command and around ten soldiers with swords surrounded Heize immediately; it would be hard for him to believe if Heize could still escape from them!
The little servant beside Heize saw that they were at a disadvantage and thus he said immediately, "How dare you to hit people in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid that we will report this matter to the authorities?"
"Report?" As if the leader had heard something silly and laughed mockingly. "Let me tell you today, even if the person is from the provincial capital, I will let them walk back in a kneeling position! Open your eyes and see clearly where we're from!"
The temperament of Heize himself was like the kind of person who had been immersed in the power of the amnesty for all these years. After listening to them, he laughed, "From the military?"
Upon hearing that Heize had guessed his identity correctly, the leader did not let him go. Instead, his face had changed and he whispered, "You know quite a lot, then it's even more impossible for me to keep you!"
While saying so, he waved one of his hands that mingled with martial art and hit toward Heize!
To his surprise, Heize was someone with martial Qi too, who was already a Gold League!
As the leader looked at his fist being obstructed, he squinted his eyes and shouted, "Brothers, let's use martial arts to encircle and annihilate him!"
When it was about martial Qi, no matter how many helpers were added, they were not Heize's rivals. However, he had his concern - the old lady behind him whom he had to protect.
It would be even worse as the alley was too narrow, thus, the houses nearby might be destroyed as well due to their negligence!
The leader noticed his scruples, so he smiled coldly and said, "I'll let you die nicely today for interrupting in the matter of the Liao family's Army!"
When Heize heard 'Liao family's Army', he squinted his eyes. He knew at once that he had been cheated by his godsister. However, he never expected that Liao Qingtian would dare to act so boldly regardless of the law in the provincial capital. He then shouted, "Dazhu, go look for reinforcement!"
"Master, will this work?" Hei Dazhu was still hesitating because the Old Master Hei exhorted that it would be better not to use the army outside to avoid the chance of being threatened...
Heize kicked off an assassin while dismantling his collar as he said, "Why can't? Don't tell me you want m
e to be bullied by them for saving people!"
"Alright!" Dazhu had excellent lightness skill, hence he only needed less than half an hour to go back and forth a city.
Heize pointed at the assassination troop, his vicious and merciless was exposed. "All of you here, don't think of escaping today!"
His initial intention was to protect people.
However, all these b*stards did not want to let an old lady go and they even scratched his face!
For Master Hei, an adonis who survived on his good-looking appearance, it was such a big insult for his face to be injured!
It was a shame for him to be called the top hegemon of the Capital if he did not fight back!
"What! You, you say it again, who was being blocked?"
When Jiang Liuyun, the general of the suppression troop who was staying in the surrounding town of the provincial city received this news, he abruptly gasped in fright!
"It's Second Master Hei!" Dazhu shook him hard in panic.
Jiang Liuyun scolded directly, "A group of blind fellows!"
Who is Heize?
He is the heir appointed by Old Master Hei!
Although he had been running his own business all this while…
If one were to ask around in the Capital, they would know that none in both underworld and the righteous world would be daring enough to mess with this hegemon!
Except for the princes in the imperial palace, there was no one else who would dare to go against him!
Although the Hei family was no longer contacting the other big families, the military influences built in the earlier years still remained!
Even until now, Old Master Hei could cause quite a huge impact when he stomped his feet!
But now, the most favored second master of the Hei family was ambushed by a group of assassination troops trained from the military!
Furthermore, this matter was happening in the place under his jurisdiction. What if anything happened to the second master!
Old Master Hei would definitely bring thousands of army here to kill him!
Thinking about this, Jiang Liuyun dared not delay anymore and immediately brought a thousand of elite military force into the provincial capital!
While walking, he was praying that Second Master Hei would be fine!
However, Liao Qingtian who had no idea what was going on outside was still instructing his people to counterfeit Helian Wei Wei's corruption proof. He planned to use it during the court in the afternoon so that she would be framed.
Magistrate Liao was listening to his deployment with his thumb up, "Eldest brother truly has a good idea."
"You've been a scholar-official for long so you won't understand, you have to be quick, ruthless and accurate while dealing with people!" Liao Qingtian looked at the purple teapot in his hand. "It's impossible to save those imperial officials as I have offended the Retired Emperor, which means that I can't seek help from the Retired Emperor. Those people are gone for good. After this time, you should go directly to the Capital. We should hand over the mess in this provincial capital to the others."
Magistrate Liao was worried after listening to his brother's words, " But brother, you…"
"Don't worry. I used to have battle achievement on the battlefield, so the Retired Emperor will spare my life. Moreover, we have support from Elder Helian." Liao Qingtian's gaze deepened upon saying so. "I just want to get rid of that Wei no matter what!"
Magistrate Liao squinted his eyes. "Surely we can't let him go since he was just a nobody who ruined our plan!"
"Just pass it to the subordinates to settle it," Liao Qingtian casually said. "Today will be the last day for him as an imperial official…"
As he was talking, a yamen runner came to report that Lord Wei wanted to investigate a commotion in the alley, but he could not find any yamen runner to tag along.
Liao Qingtian smirked when he heard that, "This is the consequences for going against me. Go and tell all the yamen runners to take no action, if Lord Wei asks them to assist in the investigation, just find an excuse to reject him."
"Yes," The runner went out after taking the order.
The smile on Liao Qingtian's face became brighter. He had told the assassination troop to signal him when they had completed their mission.
The old woman should have been killed by now, her cold dead body was the only thing Wei could see when he rushed there.
By that time, the assassination troop would already be back at the military barrack, so Wei would never know who killed the old woman even after he reached there, let alone finding who were them unless he was God.
He was very confident with the assassination troop cultivated by him. They moved at a rapid speed and definitely would not leave any trace behind.
Next, let's wait and see how Wei collapse eventually!
Governor Chen who knew the whole story was so mad that he had almost overturned the table after knowing that the yamen runners refused to investigate the matter!
However, Helian Wei Wei was much more steady than he was, she had expected that the yamen runners would not listen to her, but she had to go through all these procedures anyway. Since the procedures were completed now, it was time for her to show her true ability!
She had prepared to take action a long while ago...
Chapter 517 - Stunning A Group Of People!
"Brothers, it's time to go." Helian Wei Wei smiled evilly.
In the blink of an eye, a group of people appearing behind her!
Although all of their weapons were different, their clothes were the same, alpha-styled black. Some of them were carrying long guns while others were biting hay in their mouths. By looking from afar, it was as if one could smell the smoke of guns!
Governor Chen did not expect to see such a scene, his eyes widened in shock, "Princess Consort, who are these people?"
The main thing was that he did not understand where these people were hiding just now.
How come they just appear out of nowhere?
Also, the weapons in their hands!
Why has he never seen the black long tube?
"My hidden army."
Helian Wei Wei said the word 'mine' aggressively.
She was born to be arrogant but she had tamed down her queen arrogance just because of one person.
But now her army was standing right behind her, so of course, she behaved arrogantly!
Governor Chen was once again dumbfounded, he stared blankly as Helian Wei Wei reached out her right hand for an assault cannon.
She did not seem to care about its weight, instead, she carried it skillfully on her shoulder. As she was inching forward, her long robe fluttered vigorously. The scene could not only be described by a mere word, 'cool'!
When the leader of the assassination troop proudly looked at Heize who had been surrounded by them, little did they know they had actually been surrounded by two groups of the army from the left and right!
The capability of the hidden army was that they were able to rush to the scene in a very short time!
Helian Wei Wei looked at the ruckus along the long lane and smiled casually, "Tee-hee, this is such an uproar."
When Heize who was happily fighting heard her, he wiped the bloodstain on his face with the back of his hand and laughed evilly. They are finally here.
The assassination troop halted their movements and turned around to look at Helian Wei Wei. The leader pointed with his long knife. "Boy, I warn you. This is none of your business, you better get back to where you're supposed to be!"
"Second brother, how can you be whacked by these fellows? Grandpa Hei will surely be very sad if he found out about it." Helian Wei Wei completely ignored the threat of the other party, only scoffing at the cuts on Heize's face. A hint of merciless flashed through her eyes.
After Heize slammed another assassin, he gasped and pointed to his back. "You should just look again at how many have been knocked down there!"
How dare she complain about his combat
effectiveness, he was dog-tired after the fight!
"Around twenty of them." Helian Wei Wei counted and said, "Not bad, you may rest now, I'll take over from now."
"Why are you all staring blankly over there? Punch this little dark face as well!"
Helian Wei Wei looked at the leader and laughed slowly, "I really hate people criticizing my skin color. By the way, you are too noisy."
While talking, Helian Wei Wei raised her arm and put the rocket launcher on her shoulder, two points, and a line, she then pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The assassins who were rushing toward her were bombed faint.
In the midst of the fire, she curled her lips slightly. "I will be able to knock out twenty in no time by my current speed."
"You…you!" The leader gazed at the rocket launcher on Helian Wei Wei's hand, he was completely stunned. What the f*ck is that thing!
He had also been on a battlefield before, how could he have never come across such a powerful weapon!
Furthermore, it could shoot with high accuracy!
The leader had turned pale within seconds. He hurriedly yelled to the back, "Retreat! Retreat at once!"
There were not many who were with him from the beginning, the soldiers who tagged along were thinking to live a happy and unfettered life in the city after killing the old woman. However, they had never expected to be defeated.
"Trying to escape?" Helian Wei Wei smiled evilly. "Da Xiong, Yun Feng, you guys block the left side. Hong Tu, Li Yong, both of you block the right side. Let's give this leader from the Liao family's Army a lesson on fighting!"
"Got it!"
Swish, swish, swish. The sounds reverberated through the atmosphere.
