On our wedding night, my wife acted strangely.

Lin Yi stood amidst the pile of corpses, flicking the blood off his sword.

His brocade robes were soaked in blood, and he reeked of blood.

But he remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged, as if he had just casually swatted a few flies.

Just then, Nangong Ao, who had been lying on the ground, woke up.

Lu Dehao's teapot hit him hard, knocking him unconscious. He opened his eyes groggily, his head throbbing terribly.

He shook his head slightly, and his gaze slowly focused.

The first thing that catches the eye is the blood and corpses all over the ground, and they are all his elite troops.

Nangong Ao's mind went blank for a moment, and he instantly became clear-headed.

What happened?

How come all my people are dead?

He turned his eyes and saw Lin Yi not far away.

At this moment, Lin Yi was facing away from him, holding a blood-dripping longsword in his hand, and talking to Fatty Wang.

Nangong Ao was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Could it be that Lin Yi killed all twenty heavily armored guards by himself?

How is that possible!

Everyone in the Great Zhou knew that Lin Yi was a good fighter, but no one expected him to be able to fight to this extent.

This is something no human could do!

A wave of fear washed over Nangong Ao, making his teeth chatter.

What to do? Lin Yi definitely won't let me off the hook.

run?

Nangong Ao glanced at the doorway.

Wang Pangzi and Lu Dehao are blocking the way; there's no way they can escape.

Playing dead?

That probably won't work either; Lin Yi will likely come to check.

The only way to survive... is to kill Lin Yi!

Once Lin Yi is dead, Wang Pangzi and Lu Dehao will be leaderless, and I will have a chance to escape.

Moreover, if he kills the regent, his father will not only not blame him, but may even reward him handsomely and make him the crown prince!

Hatred arises from the heart, and evil springs from the gall.

Thinking of this, Nangong Ao glanced at the longsword not far from his hand.

He then discovered that Lin Yi was facing away from him, completely unprepared.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Nangong Ao held his breath, moved his body little by little, and slowly reached out to grasp the sword hilt.

Immediately afterward, he used the force of his legs to spring up, and with all his might, he stabbed Lin Yi hard in the back.

This sudden movement was extremely fast.

In addition, Nangong Ao was a trained martial artist, and his desperate attack before his death was arguably the best performance he had ever given.

The tip of the sword was less than a foot away from Lin Yi's back.

A flash of wild joy appeared in Nangong Ao's eyes.

Become!

If this sword pierces through, Lin Yi will surely die!

The Great Zhou Dynasty is mine!

Luo Qingyu naturally saw this scene as well, and her heart was in her throat.

kill him!

Kill him now!

I will be free as long as Lin Yi is dead.

The change happened so fast that no one had time to react.

At this critical moment, Fatty Wang and Lu Dehao exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"Big brother, be careful!"

Luo Qingwan screamed in fright, "Brother-in-law!"

But they were too close; they simply couldn't arrive in time to rescue him.

Just as the sword tip was about to pierce Lin Yi's heart, at the critical moment...

Lin Yi made a move.

As a top-tier special forces soldier who has fought his way through piles of corpses, his ability to perceive danger far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Even before Nangong Ao woke up, the change in his breathing rhythm had already betrayed him.

Lin Yi had turned his back to him just now, but he was deliberately creating an opening to see just how bold the eldest prince really was.

As expected, he wasn't disappointed; he's a fool who likes to resort to underhanded tactics.

Lin Yi didn't turn around; his body shifted to the side at an incredible angle.

Nangong Ao's sword missed Lin Yi's clothes.

At the same time, due to excessive force, Nangong Ao could not stop his steps, and his body involuntarily rushed forward.

Lin Yi sneered, flicked his right wrist, and the longsword drew a semi-circle in the air, instantly piercing Nangong Ao's right hand.

puff!

"ah!!!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the private room.

Lin Yi's sword pierced through the back of his hand and out through his palm, pinning his hand straight through.

Clang.

Nangong Ao dropped the sword from his hand, clutching his bleeding hand, writhing in pain, and then knelt down with a thud, howling like a pig being slaughtered.

"Ah!! My hand! My hand!"

Lin Yi drew his sword expressionlessly.

puff--

Fresh blood gushed out again.

Nangong Ao was writhing on the ground in pain, his face covered in snot and tears, completely losing his princely demeanor.

Fatty Wang rushed over and kicked Nangong Ao in the stomach: "Fuck your mother! You dare to ambush my brother! I'll skin you alive today!"

Lu Dehao also ran over and started kicking Nangong Ao repeatedly.

"Serves you right for using dirty tricks! Serves you right for showing off! You're fucking tired of living!"

bang bang bang-

The two brothers became more and more addicted to fighting, and the more they cursed each other, the less satisfied they felt.

"Alright." Lin Yi waved his hand, signaling the two to stop, then walked up to Nangong Ao. "Brother Nangong, where did you learn your backstabbing skills from?"

Nangong Ao is now completely terrified.

His martial arts skills, which he was so proud of, were as laughable as child's play in front of Lin Yi.

Those guards who were once invincible against the people have also turned into corpses.

Even his hand that used to hold the sword has now been crippled.

If you don't back down now, you might just give up today!

"Lin Yi... no, Your Highness! I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me..." Nangong Ao pleaded for mercy, enduring the pain.

Lin Yi took a step back in disgust.

Nangong Ao quickly crawled forward two steps on his knees.

"Your Highness, I am the eldest prince, Father's eldest son! You cannot kill me! If you kill me, Father will not let you off!"

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't speak, Nangong Ao thought he was hesitating, so he quickly changed his mind.

"Your Highness! If you release me, I promise I'll never provoke you again. I have a lot of money and many properties in my household, and Xinfeng Teahouse is mine too. I'll give it all to you! I'll give you everything! Please, spare me this time..."

The eldest son of the mighty Zhou Dynasty was now like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

Looking at his appearance, Lin Yi felt only disgust.

Is this the bloodline of the Great Zhou royal family?

Ha, what trash! With the Great Zhou Dynasty in the hands of such people, how can the common people expect to have a good life?

However, Lin Yi still squatted down in a relatively amiable manner and said, "I am not interested in any of what you have said. I only want two things from you. If you agree, I can spare your life."

"Tell me! I'll give you anything!" Seeing Lin Yi relent, how could Nangong Ao refuse? He immediately nodded repeatedly.

Lin Yi chuckled: "Hehehe, first, I want the military seal of your Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

!

Nangong Ao was instantly dumbfounded.

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? How did he know?

This was his biggest secret, and even Nangong Xiong didn't know it. How could someone who never left the capital know about the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?

it's over...

If he were to hand over the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he would completely lose any chance of making a comeback, and whether he could become emperor in the future would depend entirely on Nangong Xiong!

"I……"

"Unwilling?" Lin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Nangong Ao shuddered again in fright, gritted his teeth, and thought to himself, "Fine, as long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood!"

It's just two thousand soldiers? Here you go!

"I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"

After saying that, Nangong Xiong took out a very unique tiger tally from his pocket.

Lin Yi took it, looked at it, and then put it into his sleeve with satisfaction.

"What else do you want?"

Lin Yi didn't answer him. He threw the bloodstained sword on the ground with a clang, then got up and walked to Luo Qingwan.

The girl was still sitting obediently in the chair.

She was terrified; she thought something was going to happen to Lin Yi.

"Brother-in-law..." Luo Qingwan looked up, her big eyes still filled with tears.

"Good girl!" Lin Yi bent down and picked her up in his arms.

Luo Qingwan naturally wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her face against his chest.

Although her brother-in-law still smelled of blood, she wasn't scared at all; on the contrary, she felt very at ease.

Everyone was bewildered by this series of actions, not knowing what he meant.

Nangong Ao, in particular, thought that Lin Yi had let him go.

Unexpectedly, as Lin Yi carried Luo Qingwan out, he suddenly turned to look at the fat man.

"Fatty."

"Why?"

Lin Yi gestured with his chin towards Nangong Ao, who was kneeling on the ground: "What do you think we should do with someone who wants to sleep with your sister-in-law?"

Fatty Wang was taken aback for a moment, then grinned and laughed: "Hehehe, don't worry, big brother, I know what to do."

After saying that, he grinned maliciously and walked towards Nangong Ao.

The latter, terrified, retreated repeatedly: "What are you doing? Lin Yi! Didn't you say you wouldn't kill me if you took the things? You broke your promise!"

Lin Yi stopped and said without turning his head.

"Yes, that's the second thing I want."
