The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

If I hadn't been prepared because of recent events, I would have been in trouble with this person today.

These people do have some skills, which shows that being a killer does not necessarily require great martial arts skills. As long as one understands the means of murder and assassination and can get the job done, it's fine.

Xu Yao re-evaluated these people in his mind. They might not be able to defeat him based on their fighting strength alone, but if they were trying to murder him, it might be hard to defend against.

And they seem to be everywhere. For example, this time, they actually came in with Zhang Erniang and her daughter.

"Why set such a trap for them?"

She didn't think it was just to kill her. From her tone just now, she obviously didn't consult with the idiot who tried to assassinate her.

The woman seemed to realize it late and remembered what she was going to do. Facing Xu Yao's questioning, she refused to speak.

Xu Yao was not afraid either. He went to the cabinet and took out a porcelain box.

She opened the lid and inside were wriggling black bugs.

The woman looked at her in horror, "What are you going to do?"

"I got some new bugs and I want to know what it feels like to have them crawling on a person. Can you give me some feedback?"

As he spoke, he picked up a small insect with a pair of tongs and put it on the woman's face.

The woman felt numb all over her body and the pain was unbearable. But she knew that this method was definitely not something Zhang Yao would use.

Zhang Yao is a lunatic. If the enemy fell into her hands, she would have killed him long ago.

There are only two ways for people targeted by Zhang Yao to die. One is to be killed with a single sword, and the other is to be cut into pieces, suffering torture before death and dying in terror.

But no matter which one, Zhang Yao will not use insects.

Zhang Yao hates insects and would never associate with them.

Xu Yao saw her fear and sneered in his heart.

She thought these caterpillars were special and were used to pretend smallpox.

When this caterpillar crawls over your body, it will cause a lot of red bumps.

"I asked you to speak, so you should speak honestly. Otherwise, there will be more than one worm. When they all get into your body, you will know what it means to live a life worse than death."

"If you kill me, even if you kill me, Yuan Qingzong will not let you go."

It was another threat. Xu Yao also felt it was amazing that she was still refusing to say anything even at this time.

Xu Yao continued to release insects without panic. When he released the tenth insect, the woman finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried for mercy.

"Please let me go, I'll tell you everything."

The bug had caused bumps on her face, and she felt itchy and uncomfortable all over. However, her hands were weak and she couldn't move, so she couldn't even scratch herself.

Xu Yao finally stopped and took back the bugs one by one: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know the details. I just followed the sect master's orders and lurked in the Han family to monitor the mother and daughter until the sect master came to propose marriage."

"What sect leader?"

"In the Yuanqing Sect, there are two guardians below the Sect Master, Twelve Heavenly Gates, and Thirty-six Ghost Caves. The assassins in the caves are at the lowest level, and above them is the Sect Master. The Sect Master follows orders from above and gives us tasks. We don't know the reason, we just need to follow orders."

It was like a secret service. Xu Yao thought for a moment and asked, "What is Zhang Yao's status in your sect?"

The woman thought about it and said uncomfortably, "She is just a murderer like me, but she is a little more powerful than me."

There is no way Xu Yao would believe her.

Xu Yao threatened her again, and seeing that she was extremely frightened and seemed to really not know anything, he asked her who the man who stabbed him was.

After hearing Xu Yao's description, the woman was puzzled: "Have you seen Guan Jin?"

"I guess so. I was out doing some work for my wife and I ran into him on the street. He attacked me, but unfortunately he got away. I think you Yuan Qingzong people are really interesting. You are so sure that I am Zhang Yao just because I look similar to you. But from what he said, didn't Zhang Yao die a few years ago? When you killed someone, didn't you make sure that the person was dead? Why, you killed him but didn't bury him? You just threw him on the side of the road."

The woman was dissatisfied: "How do I know how they did it? Anyway, the news sent back at that time said that you were poisoned by peacock gall and were already dead."

"It seems like you guys hate Zhang Yao a lot. You all want to get rid of her as soon as possible. Tell me, what's the grudge between you and Zhang Yao?"

The woman paused, still looking at her with some suspicion: "You are really not Zhang Yao."

"Although I sold myself into slavery, if it weren't for the disaster in my hometown and the death of my parents, I wouldn't have been living on the streets, starving. It wasn't until a few years ago that I fainted in the snow and was picked up by the Liu family. I sold myself and entered the Liu family. I am completely different from the Zhang Yao you mentioned."

The woman thought for a moment and then cursed, "You are kidding me. You can't develop this skill without ten or eight years. The look in your eyes just now clearly showed that you have killed someone. The Liu family is a family of scholars, can they train assassins?"

Xu Yao looked at her with a half-smile, "How do you know that I can't? How much do you know about the Liu family? How can you know everything about these noble families that occupy the power center of the capital?"

The woman choked and didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Xu Yao continued to make up stories, saying that he was away from home and gave himself the identity. If you want to check, go ahead. I will deny it, what can you do to me?

"How I learned these skills must be related to the Liu family, and has nothing to do with your so-called Yuan Qingzong. As for you, since I found out that you are a thief, I can't let you go easily. Since you are unwilling to tell me the truth, then go and tell the government. As for the Yuan Qingzong you mentioned, I have never heard of it and I don't know how to be afraid. If you really dare to come, I will report it to the government. I want to see if you, the killers in the martial arts world, dare to be enemies with the court?"

The woman sneered, "You are just a slave. Even if you report to the authorities, what's the use? We have thousands of ways to kill you. It's as easy as crushing an ant. There's no need to go against the court."

Yes, she was just a slave, and the court would not take her seriously.

Xu Yao has the habit of making judgments based on the legal environment of modern society.

In modern society, if you encounter these criminals, you can just call the police and they will deal with them.

But in the last days, there is no rule of law.

The strong is king, killing is guiltless.

Xu Yao paused. He had lived a comfortable life for too long and had forgotten the cruel rules of survival in the apocalypse.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the woman.

The murderous look in his eyes frightened the woman: "What do you want to do?"

"You're right. It's really troublesome to let you live. Don't worry, I will give you a quick death."

As he said this, he drew his sword and attacked the woman, who cried out a name in fear.

"Don't you want to know how Zhao Xi is doing now?"

When Xu Yao heard the name, her heart trembled, as if something had hit her hard.

She knew this was not how she felt, so she gritted her teeth and sneered, "Who is Zhao Xi?"
