Kill!
Those people obviously didn't dare to step forward.
When he saw the jade pendant, he was incomparably shocked.
In the face of the sharp swords aimed at her, she did not show the slightest bit of fear or fear.
At this moment, she had risked her life to come here. Of course, she had also gambled that they wouldn't kill her after she flashed the jade pendant.
In fact, she had won the bet.
Holding the jade in her hand, she puffed out her chest, raised her head, and strode into the Si residence with a determined gaze.
At the same time, those people automatically retreated to the sides.
Accompanied by the clanking of her iron boots on the ground, the sound of her armor rubbing against her arm, and the hum of her sword slicing through the air, she walked all the way into the spacious courtyard of the Si residence.
Three people stood in the courtyard.
One was Old Master Wen, Wen Panshi!
One was Lin Feng!
One … was Zhao Huai!
Ji Yunshu stood in the middle of the courtyard, her gaze lingering on the three people for a moment before meeting Wen Panshi's gaze.
Their eyes met!
Wen Panshi's expression was solemn and cold like frost. He was no longer as warm and amiable as he had been when they met at the Wen Clan.
When he saw the jade pendant in Ji Yunshu's hand, his expression became slightly apprehensive.
Then —
He glared at the soldiers who were pointing their swords at Ji Yunshu.
He commanded, "Put it down!"
Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately sheathed their swords.
He took a few steps back.
Wen Panshi walked in front of Ji Yunshu, his stern eyes suddenly narrowing.
He placed his hands together and bowed deeply.
"Greetings, Little Heir."
At that moment, Zhao Huai and Lin Feng bowed as well.
"Greetings, Little Heir."
The surrounding people also knelt down on one knee.
"Greetings, Little Heir."
His voice was like a great bell, resounding and powerful.
Ji Yunshu looked at the people in front of her. She didn't feel the slightest bit of pleasure or the feeling of being surrounded by people. Instead, she felt an incomparable pain in her heart.
She put down the piece of jade, spread it out in her palm, and handed it to Wen Panshi.
"Are you going to sacrifice so many people just for this?"
His voice trembled slightly.
Wen Panshi's expression was firm. "It's worth it!"
These two words were powerful.
Ji Yunshu sneered bitterly. "So, you want to kill him?"
"He must die."
Must?
Ridiculous!
Gritting her teeth, she sucked in a breath of cold air and said firmly, "Let him go!"
His tone left no room for argument.
"Impossible!" Wen Panshi immediately denied.
"Alright!"
Ji Yunshu narrowed her eyes. She took out a dagger and placed it against her neck.
"Little Heir!" Wen Panshi's face turned pale with fright.
The surrounding people were also frightened.
She looked up. "I'll say it again. Let him go."
Lin Feng stepped forward. "Little Heir, so many people from the Imperial Duke's residence have died, and it's all because of that dog of an emperor. His son deserves to die, so you can't be soft-hearted. “
"I don't care what your plan is, but if he dies, I will die with him."
"Little Prince …"
"Are you going to release him or not?"
Wen Panshi said nothing.
Ji Yunshu exerted more force in her wrist, pressing the dagger against her own neck and making a small cut.
There was blood.
Wen Panshi was terrified, and his expression was one of retreat.
Ji Yunshu took this opportunity to retreat a step, sheathed her dagger, and ran towards the backyard.
Everyone followed suit.
In the courtyard in the backyard.
Jing Rong calmly sat inside with an indescribable smile on his lips. It was as if he had already predicted the situation outside.
Opposite him, Wen Xian stood up and waved his wide sleeve.
"Your Highness, don't blame us for being merciless. We have waited fourteen years for this day."
Jing Rong said, "Fourteen years ago, the Imperial Duke's residence was set on fire. No one knows what happened that night, and you keep saying that the current emperor ordered the killings. Where's the evidence?"
"In order to consolidate the throne, the late emperor did not hesitate to kill his own brother, Marquis Chao. Later, Qi Zhen Emperor followed suit and killed his brother. This is a foregone conclusion."
"Ridiculous."
He threw the teacup in his hand fiercely on the table.
Then, he propped himself up, looked at the surrounded courtyard, and sneered. "We still don't know what happened that year. Since you are old members of the Imperial Duke's residence, you should find out the truth and not let it be a foregone conclusion. Moreover, Lord Qin Shiyu has already appealed for the Imperial Duke's residence to reverse the verdict. His Majesty has granted a thorough investigation, and someone has already taken over. Don't you know?"
"Of course we know!"
Teacher Ji, who was investigating the Imperial Duke's case, was their Little Heir.
Jing Rong continued, "Since you know, you should also understand that the truth is just a step away. You have waited for fourteen years, do you still care about a little more time?"
"There is no need to investigate. The facts are in front of us. The person who ordered the annihilation of the Imperial Duke's residence was your father, Qi Zhen Emperor. He is a fatuous ruler."
Jing Rong sighed softly.
He knew that this kind of person could not be reasoned with.
Wen Xian continued, "Did that dog of an emperor really think that he could sit on the throne without any worries after killing the Imperial Duke? What wishful thinking! How could he have imagined that twenty years ago, the Imperial Duke's army of a hundred thousand had already been hidden in various parts of Great Lin? What's even more unexpected was that the Imperial Duke's newborn son was also secretly sent away at that time. The purpose was so that if something happened to the Imperial Duke, we could still find the little heir, obtain the tiger seal, gather a hundred thousand soldiers, storm the capital, and kill that dog of an emperor to avenge the Imperial Duke."
His tone was murderous.
Jing Rong was slightly taken aback, "The Little Heir?"
How could he not know that the Imperial Duke had a son?
Ah!
"Third Madam?" Jing Rong suddenly realized and did not frown, "In other words, you have found the Little Heir?"
"That's right."
"Who is he?"
Wen Xian laughed, but before he could speak …
Suddenly …
The sound of footsteps came from outside.
Many people squeezed into the courtyard, and Ji Yunshu was walking in front.
Yes, she walked in unscathed!
The people behind her didn't even dare to approach her.
The moment their eyes met, he understood.
He walked out of the room and walked towards her step by step.
He knew that she couldn't be the Little Heir, but …
She must know about this!
Old General Li?
That jade pendant?
… …
He couldn't believe how many more secrets she was hiding from him.
"Release him."
Ji Yunshu said to Wen Panshi.
Wen Panshi said, "I must kill him."
Thus, she took out the dagger and placed it on her neck.
She threatened, "I'll say it again, if you don't release him, I will die here today as well."
Who knew that in the next moment, a force came from behind her and slapped her arm forward.
Her elbow hurt, and she loosened her grip, causing the dagger to fall to the ground.
Her body was also firmly held by someone and dragged backwards.
She couldn't move!
In an instant, Wen Panshi raised his hand and pressed it forward.
He ordered, "Kill!"
The archers on the roof drew their bows and aimed at Jing Rong, Shi Ziran, and the others.
Ji Yunshu's eyes widened as she looked at Jing Rong, who stood there looking at her without the slightest struggle.
The arrows were ready to be fired!
She screamed at the top of her lungs.
