Chapter 1116 Strange Woman
“Your Highness.” The hidden guard next to him softly called out to Xuan Tianhua who was standing on the spot and feeling slightly dazed, asking: “What do we do with the body?”
Xuan Tianhua waved his hand in dismissal, “Find a good place and bury it! He has already been removed from the imperial family tree by Father Emperor and cannot enter the Xuan family ancestral grave, but we cannot just abandon the corpse in the wild.” After saying this, he did not look at the corpse anymore, carrying Xiangrong and ascending the gate tower.
On the gate tower, Feng Yuheng had already clearly seen everything below, when Xuan Tianhua came up, she did not say anything much, only receiving Xiangrong and personally examining her pulse. When she confirmed that Xiangrong was only frightened for too long and had not eaten, which caused her to lose physical strength, she could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, then told Xuan Tianhua: “Seventh Brother, do not worry, she does not have any serious problems and will recover after recuperating for a few days.”
Xuan Tianhua nodded, his emotions dim, some sorrow between his brows.
Feng Yuheng knew he felt bad, even though the Eighth Prince committed many sins and his death could not pay back for all of them, he was executed by Xuan Tianhua personally in the end. To his deity-like person, it was a little ruthless. But if he was not ruthless, then it was the biggest cruelty to Xuan Tianmo. One party had to sacrifice a little in the end, Xuan Tianhua chose to take action personally to provide a release for that younger brother, this was also considered boundless beneficence.
She told Xuan Tianhua: “Everyone has their own destiny, his destiny is like this and it is considered retribution and atonement. If he really is aware about it in the netherworld, he will be grateful towards Seventh Brother.”
He also nodded, “I know.” Then he sighed, speaking again: “At morning court tomorrow, I will report this matter to the court, since Zong Sui wants to make use of Mo-er’s face to construct a story, we will cut off their hopes. The death of the Eighth Prince, it will be announced to the world tomorrow!”
They made a decision on the gate tower, but they did not know, at this moment, in another corner below, a man and woman stood there. The man was in his twenties, showing a tough and resolute expression, looking like a military general. The woman looked very normal, she would not be described as good looking and could only be considered as not ugly. But her eyes looked like they could see through worldly matters, showing an astuteness of sensing great changes and insight.
That man was holding an intricate bow in his hand, at this moment his bow was nocked and pulled, the arrowhead pointing at Yu Qianyin who was still hanging at the gate tower. The chilling feeling of that arrow caused the woman next to him to narrow her eyes and she was not willing to look.
She was a little worried, asking the person who held the bow softly: “Are you really going to kill her? She is Zong Sui’s Sixth Princess. Killing her, will we still have a way to live after returning to Zong Sui?”
That man scoffed coldly, saying: “The new Emperor is not a foolish person, since he has thoughts of betraying Da Shun and even cultivated a puppet Emperor to control Da Shun, then he should understand, to accomplish great things, there needs to be sacrifices. Being willing to let go, only when letting go will there be gains, if he could not even abandon a younger sister from a different mother, then why the fuck did he decide to be the Emperor.”
“But that human skin mask……”
“Don’t worry, Zong Sui’s Third Prince will arrive very soon. Even though his skills of making human skin masks is inferior of the Sixth Princess by just a little, he is someone who can enter the top 3 in Zong Sui, it is not to the point where this plan cannot advance when there is no Sixth Princess.” He smiled coldly as he spoke, “Does Da Shun think that face is useless after the Eighth Prince is dead? But they do not know, when a dead person resurrects, the shock from this is much greater!”
As he spoke, he looked upwards, when his gaze came into contact with Feng Yuheng, his heart still fluttered once uncontrollably. The bow and arrow held in his hand was not shot out immediately, but he stopped pulling his bow, until he stared for half a beat, he said: “Perhaps, we do not need to act, she will settle it for us.”

“Her?” The woman next to him seemed to be in a daze and she looked up. But seeing a woman dressed in blue standing with the Seventh Prince dressed in white, her imperial authority exuding strongly and being able to control the solders on that city gate. The man next to her was in white like a deity and was a person she peeked at a few times when she was younger. “Wasn’t it said that she married the Ninth Prince? How can she appear to match up so well when standing with the Seventh Prince?” She mumbled this on reflex, only thinking that after fast forwarding a few years, that appearance that she was familiar to the soul and that body she was familiar to the bones had already grown up, metamorphosing until she could hardly recognise it.
“That’s right! She matches well no matter who she stands with.” That man sighed with emotion: “Feng family treated her badly but did not know that this love and care had already been compensated for long ago. Pitifully, she is unwilling to stand together with me, she is just unwill……”
“I seem to have seen a familiar person?” Suddenly, on the gate tower, Feng Yuheng stared a one place and squinted. She softly told Xuan Tianhua next to her: “Seventh Brother, I seem to have seen Bu Cong!” But after saying this, without waiting for the other party to go in-depth about it, not even waiting for her to look more closely, her gaze actually suddenly moved, and shifted from the person who was suspected to be Bu Cong to the face of the woman next to him.
Feng Yuheng had never felt as frightened as how she felt at this moment, to the point that when the gazes of her and that woman met, fear actually rose in her heart, and she took one step back on reflex.
Xuan Tianhua got a shock and quickly supported her, but he saw that Feng Yuheng was pale and even her lips lost colour, she was clearly afraid. But he did not understand, even if she did see Bu Cong, what was there to be afraid of? When that Bu Cong went missing years ago, no one was able to find him after so many years and the other party was the commander of the Bu territory, it was possible for him to mix himself into the borders of Zong Sui. And based on the abilities of the other party, turning to Zong Sui and becoming a General, this was something which can happen logically.
Xuan Tianhua thought, if Bu Cong appeared at this moment, this meant the other party had a close relationship with the people of Zong Sui, there was nothing strange about it. Why was Feng Yuheng afraid?
He did not know where the fear came from, and in fact, even Feng Yuheng could not explain why the fear suddenly rose up in her heart. It was as if a fake had encountered the genuine thing and just wanted to escape, just wanted to hide and avoid being found out.
She stared at that woman, that woman also looked at her, during this time, the person suspected to be Bu Cong seemed to have said something to the other party, the two moved back and hid in the darkness such that they could not be seen anymore.
Feng Yuheng’s mind cleared up gradually, staring at the corner at the foot of the gate tower which no longer had any people, she felt dazed for a while.
At her side, Xuan Tianhua asked anxiously: “What exactly happened?”
She came back to her senses then, rubbing her eyes, then she said in a daze: “It’s nothing, I seemed to have been mistaken. I saw two people down there just now, the man is Bu Cong, I don’t know who the woman is, only feeling that her gaze is rather familiar, but I cannot pinpoint where I have seen it before.” As she spoke, she knocked on her forehead then rubbed her temples, and when she looked at that corner again and confirmed that there was really no one, she waved her hand in dismissal and spoke with emotion: “Being tense during this period, it is really too tiring, my eyes are seeing things!”
Xuan Tianhua did not believe her explanation, but if Feng Yuheng insisted on saying this, it was not good for him to ask anymore. He only pointed at Yu Qianyin who was still hanging there and asked: “How are you planning to deal with this person?”
Feng Yuheng was still holding the gun, looking at Yu Qianyin for a while, she suddenly told Xuan Tianhua: “Seventh Brother, do you know? Rescuing Xiangrong, killing those Zong Sui people, and even the Eighth Prince has died, but I do not feel the satisfaction of having taken revenge. I only feel very tired, enemies come one after another without pause. Say, as long as someone is situated within all this conflict, this kind of thing will never end? When will all this come to an end?”
Xuan Tianhua did not want to answer this question, because he was situated in this kind of identity and political situation, unless he could make it such that he did not have to care about anything and travel far away, else, this would not end.
“Forget it.” Feng Yuheng smiled thinly, raising her right hand which was holding the gun, the gun barrel pointed straight towards Yu Qianyin, “What comes will come, what goes will go!” Saying this, her voice suddenly raised in volume slightly and she said to Yu Qianyin: “Open your eyes, I will allow you to see the weapon in my hands. Let me tell you, this is known as a gun, His Highness the Ninth Prince and I used this thing to take over numerous Gu Shu cities. Just now you also saw how guns kill people, Zong Sui’s princess, do you think that under this weapon, is your Zong Sui confident in winning Da Shun?”
After she spoke, she did not wait for Yu Qianyin to speak, only forcefully pressing the trigger, shooting a bullet over after aiming at Yu Qianyin’s forehead.
In the end, Yu Qianyin was unable to make any sound and just died like this. Feng Yuheng said: “Actually, all of you do not know this, being able to die under my gun is your fortune!” After saying this, she smiled brightly then turned and told Xuan Tianhua: “Seventh Brother, the Zong Sui princess is dead, war will occur at any moment, it is about time we prepare to go to battle!”
This night, gunshot sounds were heard around the east city gate, blood covering the floor. People died one after another, including the prince who turned against Da Shun and Zong Sui’s princess. The blood on the ground dyed the soil under the gate tower, and all of this disappeared without a trace under the swift cleaning of the soldiers, other than the faint smell of blood floating in the air and some citizens nearby hearing strange “loud sounds”, it was as if whatever happened this night had not happened at all. When the first rays of sunlight appeared in the morning, the city gates were opened once more, welcoming those who were leaving or entering the city.
“Madam, you seem to know the capital of Da Shun very well, we have walked for so long but I have not seen you asking for directions!” On the streets of the capital, a master and a servant were currently walking. That master was a woman around 17 or 18 years old, with a normal appearance, belonging to the type who would not be found if they were thrown into a crowd. It was no one else but the person at Bu Cong’s side last night.
Hearing the servant next to her say this, traces of wariness flashed across her eyes, then she calmly opened her mouth and told that maid: “Since I followed my husband here, I will naturally need to understand this place. I have read the topological diagram many times, why do I still need to ask for directions.”
That maid nodded, not suspecting it, only focusing on looking around in curiosity, looking at the prosperity of Da Shun’s capital, she thought that even though Zong Sui was not bad, it was still a little small in scale compared to Da Shun. Just take this capital for example, Da Shun was large and the capital seemed to be twice the size of Zong Sui, the things they sold were also new and unique. If not for the fact that she was on the streets together with her Madam today, she really wanted to buy a few items.
The two looked like they were strolling on the streets without any purpose, but as they strolled, they actually ended up strolling to a quiet alleyway all of a sudden. Immediately after that, the woman stopped in front of a manor gate, looking up at the plaque, vague signs that she was thinking showing on her brows. But she was heard mumbling: “Yao Manor……”
