Chapter 548 The Villainous Female Supporting Character Who Impersonated the Tyrant's Savior 3
Once outside the palace gates, Xia Xizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I never imagined that the tyrant would be so indulgent towards her just because she was his savior. Now he can do all sorts of bad things without worry...
Just then, a bearded and haggard figure saw her come out and immediately rushed over.
A stream of snot and tears.
"Girl, no, son, you're finally out! You've been so long in the dark, I thought you were imprisoned. I was even ready to hire gangsters to break you out!"
"Waaaaah, honey, no, son, if you die, your father won't be able to live either!"
"You have no idea, today a whole bunch of constables and guards surrounded our house, searching everywhere, and finally they dug out what you embezzled from the latrine, cough cough... I was almost scared to death!"
"Tell your father quickly how this matter ended up."
"No, no, this palace gate is unlucky. What if someone overhears us? Let's go home and talk about it." Xia Qian suddenly lowered her voice, looked around, and pulled Xia Xizhi to walk quickly home.
"That tyrant didn't do anything to you, did he?"
As they walked, Xia Qi'an carefully examined Xia Xizhi's entire body and, finding no injuries, patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Xizhi couldn't help but want to laugh.
This bearded middle-aged man was the original owner's father, the only scholar who had ever passed the imperial examinations in the surrounding countryside.
The original owner's mother died early, so he acted as both father and mother to her, spoiling her like the apple of his eye. This is why the original owner could be so lawless and do whatever she wanted.
"Dad, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine, nothing's wrong."
Xia Xizhi patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"You don't need to worry too much about the embezzlement of disaster relief funds. I've already solved the problem with your daughter using my wisdom. His Majesty trusts me very much, so you can rest assured."
......
The moment Xia Xizhi returned to his own courtyard, he sensed that there seemed to be a powerful expert hiding around the area.
She remained calm and pretended not to know anything.
After finishing her meal, as darkness fell and Xia Qi'an turned off the lights, she quietly left the house.
As soon as she stepped out, a chilling killing intent rushed straight to her head.
Xia Xizhi swiftly threw the dagger in his hand.
The opponent seemed caught off guard and was nearly injured. However, the opponent was clearly highly skilled; after dodging the attack, he stepped onto the wall and simultaneously flicked a hidden arrow from his sleeve, aiming straight for Xia Xizhi's vital point.
By the moonlight, Xia Xizhi saw the person opposite him.
The man opposite was dressed entirely in black, his face masked except for a pair of dark eyes. He was tall and slender, his physique clearly indicating a trained fighter. And judging from his eyes and aura, he was probably a seasoned killer…
Xia Xizhi dodged with a light roll, then narrowed her eyes, which immediately turned murderous.
In a battle between masters, every move is deadly. After the two grappled for a while, the man in black, having taken a punch to the shoulder from Xia Xizhi, seemed to have lost the will to continue fighting. After a fatal blow, he turned and flew into the night.
Xia Xizhi frowned and panted as she watched the direction the man in black had left.
Thankfully he stopped fighting; otherwise, she wouldn't have the stamina to keep up if he tried to revive her again. Her physical condition is too poor.
The original owner had offended too many people, so it was quite normal for her to be assassinated. It's estimated that it won't be possible to find out who wanted to harm her for a while.
The only way to get to the bottom of this is for her to train her body and personally apprehend the man.
Straightening his sleeves, Xia Xizhi set off towards Chunfeng Pavilion, the largest brothel in the capital.
Since she lied to Junze, she had to make her act like a lecherous woman convincing.
Upon arriving at Chunfeng Pavilion, Xia Xizhi ordered eight girls in one go, embracing them on both sides.
the other side.
The Zhenyuan Marquis's Residence.
study.
The man in black removed his mask, revealing a face with sharp, angular features. His narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes were deep and filled with a chilling, murderous aura.
Meng Zixu took off his night clothes, applied some medicine to the wound on his shoulder, and bandaged it up.
He narrowed his eyes, recalling Xia Xizhi's every move frame by frame in his mind.
Unexpectedly, that treacherous villain knew martial arts, and his martial arts skills were so high.
He almost died at his hands...
In his previous life, he didn't reveal his martial arts skills at all; he was indeed very cunning.
Fortunately, he was reborn and returned from the frontier ahead of schedule.
In this life, he would never let his father die at the hands of that scoundrel again. He would personally send that treacherous minister to his death!
......
royal palace.
Junze finished processing the memorials late at night. As he got up to return to his bedchamber, he thought of something and made a gesture.
"Han Yi"
A black-clad bodyguard landed in front of him in an instant and knelt on one knee.
"My subordinate is here."
"How's it going at Chunfeng Pavilion?"
"Your Majesty, everything is arranged and we are just waiting for the fish to take the bait." Han Yi replied, but seemed to have more to say, and hesitated before stopping.
"When did you become so indecisive? Just say what you want to say."
"Yes! That... it's not important. It's just that Prime Minister Xia..."
Junze frowned. "What did that bastard do this time?"
"Prime Minister Xia went to the Spring Breeze Pavilion and called eight girls in one go... But he shouldn't be a spy planted by the enemy country; he's just a lecher... Cai Die said that he played the tyrant's game with the eight girls for half the night, and he was so happy that he forgot about home."
"Ahem, the 'Tyrant's Game' was named by Prime Minister Xia. It involves him being blindfolded, and the girl trying to escape while he tries to catch her. If he catches her, they go to the bridal chamber..."
"A tyrant's game, huh..."
Junze was utterly speechless, then chuckled softly.
I had just told him to spend less time indulging in women and more time reading, and he immediately went to a brothel!
"With his small frame, can he handle eight girls in one night?"
"I think he's really too idle!" Junze sneered.
"If he has nothing better to do, let him go to Jizhou to eliminate the mountain bandits!"
Han Yi silently mourned for Xia Xizhi.
The bandits in Jizhou were all vicious and ruthless, committing murder, robbery, and kidnapping of women—they were utterly despicable.
The imperial court sent people to collect the fee twice, but both times they failed, and each time most of them were killed or wounded. It is said that there are skeletons scattered everywhere at the foot of the mountain.
Prime Minister Xia, who is so weak that he can't even kill a chicken, would probably be scared to death if he went there to suppress bandits.
