Chapter 64: Female Soldiers Among a Group of Men
"My lord, take a look! This is the official document issued to us by the imperial court. We have always abided by the law and are law-abiding citizens!"
Fires blazed continuously over the Imperial Guard camp.
An elderly woman clutched a stack of documents in her hand, sobbing uncontrollably with snot and tears streaming down her face.
The man next to him, with a full beard, was the Tiger-Swift Army Commander Xiang Zeting. He took the book, flipped through it, and immediately grinned with a sarcastic smile.
"The white-clad Watanabe traders were treated as barbarian spies by you, and all thirteen of them were beheaded."
"Look at her, this old lady has lost everything and has nowhere to go. Otherwise, why would she dare to come here and sue the government?"
"Despicable, utterly despicable."
The Imperial Guards present were clearly divided into two groups. Opposite them, Shi Baoji and Du Jianlian had gloomy expressions, with the former showing a hint of anger as he turned to look at the latter.
"What happened?"
Du Jianlian clenched his fists, but before he could speak, a pale-faced man with narrow eyes stepped forward and whispered, "Lord Shi, Lord Du is just doing his duty."
"That group of merchants is indeed suspected of colluding with the enemy; they have knives hidden under their carriages."
Du Jianlian looked at her with slight surprise upon hearing this, but quickly recovered and nodded, saying, "The court allows them to exchange horse bones and artifacts, yet they are still hiding knives and weapons; their intentions are unfathomable."
"During this period of military preparation and training, such an act should be severely punished!"
"Nonsense, utter nonsense!"
The old woman was visibly agitated, her body hunched over, tears streaming down her face: "My son has never even dared to kill a chicken since he was little, why would he hide a knife in his car?"
"Sir, you are an official; you can't just lie through your teeth!"
"They're still doing things against their conscience," Xiang Zeting added fuel to the fire from the side.
"General Wu has arrived!"
As the stalemate continued, Wu He stepped forward at the call, and the soldiers quickly made way for him, bowing respectfully: "General Wu!"
"He's our boss. If you want justice, go find him." Xiang Zeting nudged the old woman.
She sniffed, pursed her lips with only a few teeth left, and knelt shakily on the ground.
"Your Honor! You must do me justice!"
"My son died a terrible death..."
He glanced at the kneeling old woman, turned his head slightly, and said, "Help her up."
"yes!"
Sun Lin quickly helped her up and stopped her from throwing herself at Wu He to speak.
Wu He walked straight up to Shi Baoji and the others, the clanging of his armor echoing. His tall, imposing figure blocked the moonlight, and his shadowed face radiated a chilling aura.
Shi Baoji and the others frowned slightly, all unconsciously recalling the scene of being ruthlessly defeated by him on the arena that day.
Several days later, I felt that the young man in front of me was even more robust than before.
It's not just about physique, but also about an imposing aura that commands respect even without anger.
He didn't speak, and the entire Imperial Guard camp remained silent for several breaths.
Shi Baoji took a deep breath, clasped his hands, and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency, Imperial Censor."
"Your Excellency, Imperial Censor!"
Immediately, many of the surrounding Crane Control Army soldiers followed suit and saluted, but Du Jianlian was an exception. He stood up straight, head held high, looking down at people.
Wu He glanced at him indifferently: "Where's the knife?"
"knife……"
A flicker of fear crossed Du Jianlian's eyes as he turned to look at the narrow-eyed man beside him.
There's no knife here.
Previously, he had only seen that the merchant caravan was rolling in money, and his subordinates had encouraged him to skim some of the profits. Du Jianlian was also a newly appointed official, and he wanted to bring good luck to his men.
That's why they went to intercept them on the road, but one of the soldiers, instead of intimidating them, accidentally killed someone.
This is troublesome. They had no choice but to silence them all and destroy the evidence.
The matter wasn't insignificant, but it wasn't a huge deal either; he never expected it to cause such a commotion.
As for those so-called knives, you can only grab a few from the warehouse.
The narrow-eyed subordinate understood his meaning and forced a smile: "I, I'll go get it right away!"
He turned away after speaking.
"etc."
Unexpectedly, Wu He suddenly spoke up.
His dark eyes were fixed on the narrow-eyed man. He reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder, slowly turning her around.
"We've met before, haven't we?"
Wu He felt somewhat familiar with those eyes.
Whoosh!
A flash of cold light appeared.
No one present reacted until the next second when they saw a dark green dagger resting in front of Wu He's chest.
It merely pierced the chest, but could not go any further, even with the narrow-eyed man gritting his teeth and exerting all his strength, it was to no avail.
A faint, golden ripple flowed around Wu He's neck.
"Golden Light Mantra!"
She realized what was happening in shock, but it was too late.
It was only because Wu He's fist was swift and powerful, with the dragon tendons bursting and the tiger bones exploding.
Pfft!
In an instant, it pierced her heart, and bright red blood gushed out, quickly staining half of Wu He's armor.
[Progress completed (Tiger Stance): 50/200]
"Mid-stage bone strengthening?"
Wu He was slightly surprised to see the rapid progress of the She Tian Ce (a type of document).
He had only felt that this person was somewhat familiar, but he did not expect that she, who looked to be only at the level of skin tempering, was actually at the mid-stage of bone strengthening.
He was surprised, and the narrow-eyed man was even more surprised.
Staring blankly at himself with his heart and lungs ripped out, he could hardly believe that this punch had actually broken through his defenses.
But it was too late for regrets.
As Wu He pulled his arm out, tearing off her clothes in the process, she collapsed to the ground like a dead dog.
He looked thoughtfully at the long scarf in his hand.
"Strip."
Sun Lin and the others quickly stepped forward and stripped the man naked, while Xiang Zeting, Shi Baoji, and the others also surrounded him.
It was naked, with a clear outline, and below the dark forest lay the canyon.
"woman!"
Everyone gasped in surprise, and Du Jianlian was completely dumbfounded.
He never expected that the clever subordinate who had been following him for several days was actually a woman!
"General Wu."
Then, as if he had discovered something, Sun Lin parted her breasts and revealed a tattoo resembling a spider web.
"She's a member of the Net!"
"When did our Crane Control Army infiltrate the Luo Wang assassins?"
"Damn it, I was wondering why this kid didn't go to a brothel; turns out he's a virgin!"
"That disguise technique is quite sophisticated."
……
The Tiger Swift Army members weren't too bothered, but the Crane Control Army members, especially those in her team, were deeply saddened.
No one expected that their comrade-in-arms, with whom they shared meals and lodging, was actually a woman.
"Heh, it seems the discipline of the Crane Control Army is really unique. Not only are there female soldiers among the men, but they are also damn Luo Wang assassins."
"Your censorship needs improvement," Xiang Zeting said sarcastically from the side.
Shi Baoji's face was extremely ugly. As the superior, he was responsible for such an embarrassing incident that had happened to his subordinates.
Because of the extremely bad reputation of the Luo Wang organization, and their exceptional skill in disguise, they often infiltrate various sects and factions to cause trouble.
Like an inconspicuous poisonous spider, no one knows if it's around or when it will suddenly bite and kill them.
Therefore, in the martial arts world, almost any assassin from the Luo Wang organization would be killed on the spot.
Unexpectedly, their influence has now extended even into the Imperial Guard.
Wu He watched quietly from the side, then his gaze sharpened and his pupils trembled slightly.
He suddenly turned his head.
"And what about the old woman?"
The old woman who had just been crying her heart out had vanished without a trace.
Oh no, Godfather!
Wu He reacted quickly and drew his knife.
Sure enough, a piercing scream rang out from not far away the next moment.
