With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"You bastard, die!" Nangong Wu walked to the bedside and twisted Shi Wen's neck with both hands.

A corrupt official who sucks the blood and sweat of the people does not deserve to live.

She dragged the body off the bed, drew a sword and brandished it a few times, causing the gauze curtains to flutter down.

Behind the bed, a large wooden board blocked the wall; the entrance to the secret passage was right there.

It took her a while to move the heavy wooden plank, revealing a hidden passageway as tall as a person.

She cautiously entered the dark passage, shone her flashlight inside, and saw a deep, dark pit with a wooden ladder.

She climbed down the ladder into the dark room without encountering any danger. The floor was uneven and the walls were also bumpy, indicating that the underground dark room had only been dug recently.

The dark room was about ten square meters in size and more than two meters high, filled with boxes of various sizes.

Having already detected that these boxes contained gold and silver, she stopped looking at them and focused all her attention into her spatial storage.

They quickly left the Shi family's residence and prepared to go to the next place according to plan: the maternal home of Princess Nangong Xun, the Duke of Qin's mansion.

Duke Qin of Xuchang was also from a military background. The power of the Xu family was no less than that of Marquis Wu'an Ming family. The eldest brother of Princess Rui was the Minister of War, and the second brother was granted the title of a third-rank general, commanding 50,000 troops in the Eastern Suburbs Camp.

The Xu family members are all shrewd and calculating, rich and powerful, but they don't act as ostentatiously as the Ming and Zhou families.

Duke Qin married his daughter to Nangong Xun, believing that he would be the next emperor and that he could secure the position of the emperor's father-in-law, enjoying endless glory in the future.

As Nangong Wu walked along, lost in thought, she suddenly heard the sounds of a fierce fight.

She quickly hid in the shadows and observed the situation.

"There's an assassin! Catch the assassin quickly!"

Nangong Wu's heart tightened upon hearing this. Could something have happened to her royal residence?

But after thinking about it, I realized that wasn't the case.

If Li Shuang discovers that she is not in the house, she will definitely fire a signal flare.

Suddenly, several figures flashed past her head, followed by the sounds of fighting, and countless roof tiles fell down.

"Damn it..." Nangong Wu turned around and walked back.

Tonight is a bit unsettling; it's not a good time to take any further action.

"Bang!" A person tumbled off the roof and crashed heavily onto the ground in front of her.

Nangong Wu suddenly drew her gun and saw a man in black clothing whose throat had been slit, spitting blood. He struggled for a few moments and then stopped moving.

Then, several more people flew down from the rooftops onto the street. They were all highly skilled in martial arts and fought fiercely.

"Take them alive!"

Nangong Wu quickly retreated to the front of the shop, using a signboard to shield herself.

This was a vendetta, and if we go out now, people from both sides will mistake us for enemies.

"You guys?" The deep voice was filled with disdain.

Nangong Wu was stunned when she heard that familiar voice.

The person surrounded was actually Xiao Lin.

I remember when this guy left, he told her that he was going to find someone to wipe out the Snake Spirit Society, and now he's being surrounded and killed here.

Are these assassins members of the Serpent Spirit Society?

"Bang bang bang..." She pulled the trigger repeatedly, shooting down three people in one go.

Her pistol was equipped with a silencer, so she wasn't worried about making too much noise and attracting attention.

The remaining two were startled and leaped out of the battle.

Nangong Wu took the opportunity to fire a few more shots.

However, these two individuals possessed even greater agility than the members of the Serpent Spirit Society from the previous night, and they managed to evade them.

The two men landed on the rooftop, their eyes fixed on her. "So you're the master thief!"

"It's your grandmother." Nangong Wu pulled out a machine gun and opened fire on the two people.

"Rat-a-tat-tat..."

A burst of bullets was fired, and the two men had no time to run away. They were both hit and fell off the roof.

Xiao Lin had already reached her side. "Let's go quickly."

Nangong Wu smelled a strong odor of blood on him, and her expression changed. "You're injured?"

"No..." Xiao Lin was about to say no when he suddenly leaned against her.

"How are you?" Nangong Wu quickly helped him up.

Xiao Lin frowned. "Someone will be here soon. Let's leave first."

Nangong Wu helped him walk back. As she turned around, a faint light flashed on her wrist, and a Bagua diagram appeared. She then put all the corpses on the ground into her spatial storage.

These bodies have bullets in them; they can't be left here.

They had only taken a dozen steps when their ears twitched. Someone else was coming, and someone with exceptional agility.

"You go first." Xiao Lin pushed her away.

"We'll go together." Nangong Wu knew he was seriously injured and couldn't possibly abandon him.

"None of you will escape!" A dozen or so people leaped over.

Xiao Lin suddenly picked up Nangong Wu and flew onto the roof.

Nangong Wu reacted quickly, throwing out a poison gas bomb that forced the men to retreat.

Xiao Lin seemed to have used up all his strength, his figure moving as fast as an arrow released from a bow, and he didn't stop until he returned to Zui Mei Courtyard.

"Hmm..." Xiao Lin groaned and knelt down.

Nangong Wu touched her hand and found it covered in blood. She helped him walk into the room and said, "Let me treat your wounds first."

Upon hearing the commotion, Li Shuang and Li An immediately came out of their room.

Upon seeing their expressions, their faces changed drastically.

"Your Highness..."

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry. Just stay outside and keep watch." Nangong Wu told them to stay outside and helped Xiao Lin into the room.

She helped the person to the soft couch and laid them down.

"The wound seems to be poisonous!" Xiao Lin's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"I understand." Nangong Wu examined his body and saw a wound on his back, which looked like a sword wound, and the blood flowing out was black.

Her expression changed. "What a potent poison."

Xiao Lin gave a bitter smile, "This time, I'm afraid I won't make it..."

"Don't talk nonsense. Once a patient comes into my care, as long as they have a breath left, even the King of Hell can't take them from me." Nangong Wu took out a pill and put it to his lips.

"This is the Hundred Poisons Pill, take it."

"The Hundred Poison Pill?" Xiao Lin asked in surprise.

Wasn't that the Hundred Poisons Pill that Emperor Mingde gave her? There's still one left?

"If you speak again, you'll lose your life." Nangong Wu put the pill into his mouth.

She went into the inner room and brought out a medicine box.

"Lie down, let me clean your wound first."

Xiao Lin unbuckled his belt, took off his shirt, and lay down face down.

"The wound is a bit deep and poisonous, it will take a while to heal," Nangong Wu said to him while her hands were busy working on it.

She took a small amount of his blood and put it into her spatial storage, intending to test it for the type of poison later when she had time.

First, rinse the wound with clean water until the blood turns red again, then apply hemostatic powder and suture it.

"With you here, it seems we won't die." Xiao Lin suddenly chuckled.

"You can still laugh?" Nangong Wu heard his laughter and knew that the poison was under control.

She quickly bandaged his wound and helped him sit up.

"Speak! Were those people from tonight members of the Serpent Spirit Society?"
