City Lord Xun was so angry that he almost laughed after recovering from his shock. Robbing the City Lord Manor? If it wasn't for the fact that the person in front of him didn't seem to be delirious, he would have suspected that the other party was suffering from hysteria.
"How should I address you? If you lack travel expenses, as long as you ask, I can still give you a sum of money. There's no need to joke like this. " City Lord Xun's voice was rather calm. After all, he had seen all sorts of things and wouldn't get angry easily.
"Rob, take the money, or die."
The empress was unmoved. She didn't have a good impression of these remnant citizens of the Hao Nation. On the contrary, she loathed them. If it weren't for the original agreement, she would have killed all of them long ago.
At this moment, he was only taking money and sparing his life. This was already a great gift from him.
Hearing this, City Lord Xun's expression immediately turned ugly. He had already spoken politely. Could it be that the other party thought that he, the City Lord of Longshou City, was easy to bully?
"Where did this madman come from to spout nonsense here?" Before Lord Xun could speak, the person next to him couldn't stand it.
The empress's body swayed.
"Pa!"
The person who spoke immediately spurted out blood from his seven orifices and collapsed to the ground.
No one had expected that she would make a move just like that. The sudden turn of events shocked everyone once again. One by one, they stood up from their chairs in anger and wanted to pull out their weapons.
"Spirit Wheel experts … Everyone, stop!" However, Warlord Xun instantly realized the other party's strength. The other party's speed was so fast that he couldn't react in time. There was no other possibility that the other party was a Spirit Wheel expert.
As soon as he said that, everyone felt as if they had been hit by a paralysis spell. Beads of sweat flowed down their foreheads.
How could it be a Spirit Wheel expert? Was this woman a Spirit Wheel expert?
"Senior …" City Lord Xun rose to his feet and said hoarsely, "I don't know what Senior wants, but I'll do my best."
At the end of the day, he still didn't quite believe that a Spirit Wheel expert would rob him.
What was the status of a Spirit Wheel expert? In the entire Tianjing Basin with a population of more than 10 million, there were only 13 famous Spirit Wheel experts. This was because the lifespan of a Spirit Wheel expert far exceeded that of an ordinary person.
A Spirit Wheel expert would be treated like an ancestor no matter where he went.
Why was there a need to commit robbery?
"Goldie!" The empress didn't know what Ren Baqian was thinking. Her goal was very clear.
"You, send someone to move all the gold from the vault here." City Lord Xun didn't expect that the other party would really only want money. However, he reacted quickly and immediately said to the servant who was paralyzed on the side.
Ever since the empress came in and said the first sentence, the servant was paralyzed. At this moment, upon hearing the order, he hurriedly got up and ran outside.
The empress wasn't afraid that they would play any tricks. It was just a matter of giving them another slap. These people wouldn't be able to create any trouble in front of her.
"Senior, please wait a moment." City Lord Xun cupped his hands.
The empress ignored him, and the room became quiet. Everyone kept quiet out of fear and didn't dare to say a word for fear of angering the lady in front of them.
It was obvious that this person was not a good-tempered person.
"City Lord, someone has broken into the mansion …"
Castellan Xun looked at the guard who rushed in to report the news, and expressionlessly waved his hand to chase him away. "Let's go. Inform everyone to do what they are supposed to do. The intruder is a senior."
Everyone waited for the time it took for an incense stick to burn before heavy footsteps could be heard from outside. A few people carried four boxes into the living room and placed them on the floor.
City Lord Xun took a few steps forward and opened the boxes. Three of the boxes were filled with gold ingots, and the last box was filled with all kinds of gold and silver ornaments.
"Senior, they are all here."
Then, he obediently stood to one side and said, "Senior, they are all here."
The empress tilted her head, and Qing Yuan and Hong Luan immediately went forward to open the bag. They picked up some gold ingots from the box and placed them inside. Then, they looked at the gold ornaments.
The ornaments were exquisitely made, and some were even inlaid with gems. Compared to the gold ingots, they were even more tempting.
One of them packed a lot of ornaments until the bag was bulging. Only then did he stop.
The empress took a deep look at City Lord Xun. If this person's answer had been slightly off, she would have killed him with a slap. She didn't expect this person to be so quick-witted and let him escape with his life.
This look made City Lord Xun break out in a cold sweat, but he still didn't dare to move.
The empress didn't say a word, turned around, and went out. Qing Yuan and Hong Luan hurriedly followed her, and their backpacks jingled as they walked.
"Phew!" After the empress left the courtyard, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and slumped into their chairs.
"This person is dressed in red, and she looks so young. Could she be …" One of them was halfway through his sentence when everyone's expression changed drastically, and they hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Even if you want to die, don't drag us down with you!" someone beside him scolded in a low voice.
With this kind of appearance, this age, and this kind of dressing, not only had he guessed her identity, but everyone else had also guessed it.
However, no one dared to say it.
If they said it and that person heard it, they were afraid that no one here would be able to survive.
That person shouldn't be here at all. If the news of her appearance were to spread, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.
The entire Tianjing Basin would move upon hearing the news.
Even though everyone didn't know why, that person had indeed appeared here. Furthermore, she was most likely the person that everyone was thinking of.
"A storm is about to arise!" More than one person had this thought. After a while, everyone was finally relieved when they saw that that person didn't return.
"Warlord Xun, goodbye." The man who was previously addressed as Mister Fang stood up and said. He had to bring this news back immediately.
Warlord Xun didn't intend to keep him. He was still in a daze. Why did Qi Zixiao come here?
Don't be fooled by the fact that they were pondering about how to mobilize their troops every day. When faced with Qi Zixiao, no one would not be afraid.
…
After leaving the warlord's residence, Qing Yuan and Hong Luan asked, "Miss, where are we going now?" Their bellies were already deflated.
"Let's eat," the empress said faintly.
The two of them looked at each other with joy in their eyes.
After finding a restaurant, the three of them sat in a side room. The two of them then opened their backpacks and piled the gold jewelry on the table.
"Miss, look, this bracelet is inlaid with nine rubies. It's the most suitable for you."
"This necklace isn't bad either."
While the two of them chattered away, the empress looked out the window at the streets and pedestrians below.
After the three of them had their meal, they casually found an inn to stay in.
After arranging a room for Qi Zixiao, the innkeeper stood behind the counter and looked in the direction of the three of them. Her body trembled slightly.
If someone were to see her at this moment, they would definitely be shocked by her expression. Her eyes were glowing, and the corners of her mouth were raised to an angle that was difficult for ordinary people to reach.
"She's too perfect. I have never seen such a beautiful person. I really want to skin her and make her into a doll to keep … I'm so excited. The thought of collecting such a beautiful doll makes me unable to control myself … My saliva is about to flow out …"
After standing behind the counter for a long time, she finally found some tea leaves to brew. Then, she added something else to it. Following which, she swayed her body to the second floor and knocked on the door. "Sir, would you like some tea? This is a good tea that I picked myself from the cliff … "
The empress took a sip of Erguotou and said, "Leave us. Don't disturb me without my instructions."
