My enemies became my companions

Chapter 263: Died Just Like That (Additional Update -in-)

Jinya Pavilion follows the Jiangnan style and is extremely elegant, with small pavilions and bright windows, and water rushing around fake rocks. It is surrounded by lush short bamboos, and tall buildings can be vaguely seen under the shade. The cobblestone road under Dujuan's feet is neatly groomed, with no weeds on either side.

There is blood on the road.

"You mean, King Annan killed two people and escaped under the protection of his guards?"

Du Juan stared at the dark red bloodstains on the ground and asked.

The spy clasped his fists and reported: "My Lord, the King of Annan seems to have reached the fourth level. Even if we succeed in one strike, we will not be able to kill him on the spot."

Du Juan did not blame him, but said: "With the ability of the fourth rank, it is good that you can survive and report the news. The dead brothers and sisters will be counted for their merits later."

The spy nodded heavily.

The deputy at the side stepped forward a little, looked at the bloodstains and asked:

"So what should we do next?"

"Don't worry, King Annan can't escape from Jin Ya Pavilion. I just don't know where he will hide for the time being."

The cuckoo is neither impatient nor anxious, like an experienced hunter in the forest.
"According to the time, the two factories and one guard should be here. After that, the Pavilion Master will come here in person."

The deputy was shocked and said in disbelief:

"The Pavilion Master is here too? Isn't she here to protect the Empress?"

"No one dares to touch the queen, and this time, it is the King of Annan after all, so it is safer for the Pavilion Master to come and kill him personally."

"Then let's..."

"Let's first determine the location of King Annan. If possible, we can kill him before the Pavilion Master arrives. This will be a great achievement."

As Du Juan spoke, she pinched her fingers as if calculating the time.

The deputy naturally knew that this was a great achievement, but he had no idea how to kill the King of Annan. However, Du Juan in front of him seemed extremely confident.

Du Juan turned around and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

"It seems that the master is confident." The deputy asked directly, "Does the master have anything to rely on?"

Dujuan did not rush to answer, but looked at the path in the bamboo forest.

The path was quiet and deep at first, but then footsteps gradually sounded, and then a man in black official uniform suddenly appeared in the distance. He walked closer, holding a woman in red in his hand.

The woman in red had a confused look on her face, her cheeks were a little pale, her calves went limp, and she fell to her knees on the ground, but the man pulled her up mercilessly.

His knees were rubbed raw and bleeding. Even the spy from Magpie Pavilion, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but marvel at the man's lack of sympathy for women.

"Who is coming?" the deputy asked loudly.

"Former West Factory Captain, now Chief of the Zhige Division, Chen Yi, is here to lend a helping hand to the Xi Que Pavilion."

After hearing this, the deputy was surprised for a moment, then turned his gaze to Du Juan.

It turns out that this is what the host referred to as possession.

Chen Yi pulled the woman in red and slowly walked to Du Juan and bowed. The latter gave her name lightly and then moved her gaze to the woman in red.

Du Juan asked calmly: "Who is this?"

Chen Yi pulled it like a cow and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Princess of Annan, the Saint of the Demon Cult, with the surname Zhu and the given name E. I have examined it."

The woman in red raised her hands tremblingly, her fingertips overlapping, her face full of disbelief, as if she didn't believe that Chen Yi had betrayed her like this.

Du Juan stared at the woman's raised hand.

Chen Yi continued: "With the Princess of Annan, we should be able to find the location of the King of Annan."

Du Juan narrowed her eyes and stared at Chen Yi, as if she wanted to see something from the latter.

Chen Yi, however, acted even calmer.

Du Juan pointed at Zhu E and said, "Leave her to me."

Chen Yi handed Zhu E to Du Juan without any hesitation.

Zhu E's eyes trembled, he looked back at Chen Yi, and then looked straight at Du Juan.

Chen Yi gave her a reassuring smile, as if telling her not to worry.

then,

Dujuan placed her hand on Zhu'e's crown.

Wow!
Chen Yi's eyes widened and his pupils shrank sharply.

With a sudden force of five fingers, Zhu'e's head was torn apart like a watermelon in an instant, and the flesh and skin drooped like a broken lotus root, leaving only a headless corpse, which slowly fell to the ground.

The charming saint of the demon cult died in the hands of Dujuan.

...............................

In front of two sticks of incense.

"Don't steal things, don't steal things!"

In the corridor, the crowd was crowded, pushing and shoving each other, and the noise was endless. Those top girls who were usually the most popular were all frightened and scrambled to escape, like sparks flying everywhere, causing even greater chaos. Those men who were looking for pleasure were also running around, and many of them had no idea what was happening and just kept running. The scene was so chaotic.

"There are traitors inside. They say there are traitors here!"

"Really? They are King Annan's men?!"

"I don't know. Just run away first and don't worry about it!"

...............

As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. However, Jin Ya Pavilion is a place that is deeply connected with the underworld. There are always many bad things, big and small, in it. Otherwise, the top stars would not flee for fear that they would be treated as traitors and wiped out.

And this is exactly the original intention of Magpie Pavilion.

The more chaotic the Jin Ya Pavilion is, the more likely it is that the palace will be able to kill two birds with one stone.

It can not only surround and kill the King of Annan here, but also swallow the entire Wuyong Tower into its stomach and turn it into a puppet of the Magpie Pavilion.

The spy Ma Que from the Magpie Pavilion knew this very well, so she shouted hard just now to guide the wind direction in the Jin Ya Pavilion.

And she knew even more that swallowing Wuyong Tower was the original intention of planting spies in the palace, and besieging and killing King Annan was an additional plan. It would be better to say that the palace had expected that King Annan would send an envoy, but never thought that King Annan would take advantage of the situation and come here in person. It could be said to be an unexpected surprise.

The scene was in chaos, with people trampling on each other everywhere. The sound of blood spurting out could be faintly heard, and cries of "someone's dead" and the like were heard everywhere.

The sparrow watched the scene with satisfaction.

Xi Que Pavilion was not worried that King Annan would take advantage of the chaos to escape, because two factories and one guard had already blocked the entire Jin Ya Pavilion. Even if King Annan wanted to escape, he would have to find a way to go. What's more... King Annan was most likely unable to protect himself at the moment.

The sparrow smiled as it moved along with the crowded crowd, creating more chaos.

Until a hand reached out from the room.

The sparrow was startled.

She was suddenly pulled into the room, and the wooden door closed almost instantly.

In the chaos, no one would care that one person was missing.

Sparrow stumbled and seemed unstable, but he drew a knife from his sleeve and stabbed fiercely at the person who pulled him into the room.

The cold light streaked through the air with a whistling sound.

But that man was faster.

Faster than she could have imagined.

Before the dagger reached him, her wrist was stuck. The man grabbed her shoulder with one hand and her wrist with the other, then twisted it and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

Sparrow was subdued in an instant, and at that moment, she saw clearly the gap between their martial arts realms.

Then, her sleepiness point was pierced by a silver needle.

"This person should be one of the spies of Magpie Pavilion."

Looking at the sparrow lying on the ground, Chen Yi said slowly.

"How did you know that, sir?"

"I saw her walking back and forth in the same corridor twice, and she was shouting the loudest."

It was not easy to find a spy from the Magpie Pavilion among so many people. Even with a lifetime of experience, Chen Yi was only 30% to 40% sure when he pulled the sparrow into the wing room. Fortunately, this spy did not expect it, and acted in shock, making him almost 100% sure.

Chen Yi looked at the sparrow, then at Zhu E, and then asked:

"Aunt Zhu, your disguise skills can be used on others, right?"

Zhu E was pretending to be Qin Qingluo at that time, and Chen Yi could not see any flaws just from his appearance.

The woman in red nodded, but after a while, a hint of bitterness appeared on her charming face, and she said:
"But, I don't have any secret method that can influence other people's minds at the moment. Even if I do, it's impossible... to make it unnoticeable."

Chen Yi said: "Don't be afraid, I have it."

"Oh?"

"I can break her ego and make her unable to tell who others are, or who she is." Chen Yi said so, and his fingers were already pinching the magic formula.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

The woman in red was visibly stunned for a moment.

Her lips trembled.

Chen Yi glanced at her and said, "Just tell me what you want to say."

Zhu E paused, hesitated for a long time, took a deep breath, and asked with some difficulty: "At that time... I couldn't tell the difference between the official and the wise master, right..."

Chen Yi's tone was calm: "It was my work."

Then he saw that the woman in red widened her eyes and her face turned slightly paler, as if her faith was collapsing.

Chen Yi clasped his hands imperceptibly.

Zhu E walked towards me step by step, with a face that was trembling with excitement and slightly flushed.

“That’s…that’s great.”

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment.

They were all prepared to deal with Zhu'e's sudden attack, but they never expected that Zhu'e would show such a warm face, like a wife who had finally reunited with her lover.

"What's so good?"

"You have done a great job, sir," Zhu E gently placed his forehead against Chen Yi's chest, "If not, how would Zhu E know that you are Ming Zun?"

After the words fell, Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then he narrowed his eyes and couldn't help smiling.

It seems that the Princess of Annan... has almost completely returned to her roots.

Chen Yi followed up with: "At that time...dealing with Qin Qingluo was secondary, you were more important."

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

Zhu'e's breathing stagnated, then he raised his head and said "hmm" in a charming voice.

....................................

"Zhu'e", or should I say the sparrow, had his head twisted off by the cuckoo himself.

The blood splattered on Dujuan. This disciple of the nameless old lady was so ruthless in killing.

This made some of Chen Yi's preparations go to waste.

However, it's just some preparation.

Du Juan turned around, kicked the body away casually, and looked at Chen Yi with a smile on her face:

"Thank you, Captain Chen, for your help. Then... I think when King Annan learns of the death of his princess, he will be furious."

The head of the princess in her hand was still dripping with blood. Chen Yi glanced at it, stopped his gaze, and asked slowly:

"I originally wanted this Saint of the Demon Cult to lead us to the place where King Annan was hiding, but now... what should I do?"

Du Juan smiled and said:

"If we keep her alive, she may not necessarily lead us there. Instead, she may lead us to the opposite place."

The deputy at the side did not say anything. He felt that Du Juan was undoubtedly being reckless this time, but as a subordinate, it was not appropriate for him to interrupt his boss when he was speaking.

We can only give some advice or two when we review the situation afterwards.

Du Juan raised the head in her hand and continued:

"Now the King of Annan is hiding somewhere unknown. We are at a loss as to what to do. I wonder if Qian Hu has any ideas?"

Chen Yi said with a bitter look on his face:
"If even Magpie Pavilion has no ideas, what ideas can I have?"

"After all, Qian Hu comes from the Western Factory, and he has one more brain and one more way of thinking."

After he finished speaking, Chen Yi lowered his head and began to think. After a long while, he said:
"I heard that the King of Annan has always loved his queen. Now that he doesn't know the safety of his queen, perhaps we can use this to lure the King of Annan into exposing himself."

After hearing this, Du Juan nodded and said:

"This plan is feasible, but how do we do it?"

She patiently persuaded Chen Yi to tell him his plan in person.

And she heard Chen Yi pretend to think about it and then said slowly:

"First, spread rumors that Princess Annan has fallen into our hands. After a while, spread rumors that Princess Annan is dead. The King of Annan will surely be restless. Even if he doesn't come in person, he will send someone over."

The deputy heard it and was about to say something.

Du Juan made a secret gesture, overlapping her fingertips.

He immediately shut up, lowered his head and looked submissive.

"The plan is good. It only needs a few minor adjustments. I believe we can definitely lure out the King of Annan." Du Juan nodded in praise.

Chen Yi nodded slightly, clasped his fists and said:

"So… without further ado?"

"Without further ado."

Du Juan replied, and as she spoke, she lifted the head in her hand, as if she wanted Chen Yi to see it more clearly.

Under the shadow of the bamboo, Du Juan could see that Chen Yi's eyes were filled with an inexplicable gloom.
Du Juan secretly sneered.

To be honest, she wasn't sure whether Chen Yi really had something to hide.

It was only then that she overheard the conversation in the side room and unexpectedly learned that this boy actually had a desire for King Annan.

Xi Que Pavilion is always good at unraveling things, and there is something strange going on, so Du Juan had already guessed about Chen Yi's appearance.

Du Juan held up the beautiful head and observed Chen Yi's expression out of the corner of her eye.

There was nothing unusual, and after the shock he calmed down.

He is indeed not an ordinary person...

But why are your hands shaking uncontrollably?

Du Juan sneered even more in her heart.

Chen Yi passed Dujuan and was about to start.

But after walking two or three steps, the people from the Magpie Pavilion behind him did not catch up in time, and Dujuan was still standing there.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say that we should do this without further delay?" Chen Yi asked.

"No hurry, let me ask Qianhu a question first."

Du Juan paused and continued:
"How did Qian Hu know that our Xi Que Pavilion was encircling and suppressing the King of An Nan?"

Chen Yi looked calm and said calmly:

"I came from the Western Factory, so naturally I learned about it from my colleagues in the Western Factory."

Du Juan nodded, as if she had no doubt about this statement, and said:
"The Magpie Pavilion did inform the two factories and one guardhouse about this matter."

The deputy's eyelids twitched.

Did Magpie Pavilion inform the two factories and one bathroom?
How come he, as the deputy to the host, doesn't know about this?
