I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

When the empress heard Wu Ma Chaojiang calling her "I" over and over again, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

Did she choose the wrong person?

When the old patriarch spoke to her, he never used "I".

Wu Ma Chaojiang hadn't even taken the position of the old patriarch yet, but he was already being disrespectful to her.

But the words had already been spoken, the empress suppressed her dissatisfaction and looked at Wu Ma Chaojiang.

"My dear, please tell me."

Wu Ma took a deep breath and said slowly,

"After Cong Chongqiu is escorted back to the capital, I would like to ask His Majesty to hand him over to me."

"Cong Chongqiu killed my father. This hatred is irreconcilable."

At this point, Wu Ma Chaojiang's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.

"I will make Cong Chongqiu's life a living hell..."

The empress looked straight at Wu Ma Chaojiang.

After a long while, ".....Accurate!"

We can't let her become enemies with the Wu Ma family just because of Cong Chongqiu.

Cong Chongqiu committed a capital crime, so it would be okay to hand him over to the Wu Ma family and let them vent their anger.

However, Wu Ma Chaojiang did not inform her about this matter in advance, which made her very dissatisfied.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Ma bowed to Jiang and sat back with a sad face.

Everyone in the Wu Ma family rolled their eyes when they saw Wu Ma Chaojiang's pretentious look.

It's been more than half a month and you're still pretending to be so sad. Who would believe it?

Who else but you, Wu Ma Chaojiang, is the one jumping up and down every day and running to the palace every few days?

It really wasn't a wasted trip for you, you got the support of His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, I think the matter of the old patriarch needs further consideration."

Wu Ma Chao Hai glanced at Wu Ma Chao Jiang and said, "When my father was alive, he always said that my eldest brother was only suitable for living in a corner, not for leading the Wu Ma family."

"Moreover, the election of the old patriarch of the Wu Ma family is an internal matter of the Wu Ma family. It should be jointly discussed and elected by the elders of the Wu Ma family."

“You…” Wu Ma Chao Jiang pointed at Wu Ma Chao Hai angrily, “How dare you disobey His Majesty’s words!?”

"Do you still have me as your big brother in your eyes?!"

Wu Ma glanced at Hai coldly and said, "Don't think that you can be the head of the family just because His Majesty supports you."

"Ask everyone here, who still supports you!"

"People should have some self-knowledge. Don't rush to fight for everything. You should also consider whether you have the ability to do so!"

"How dare you!" Wu Ma Chao Jiang slammed the table in anger, rushed to Wu Ma Chao Hai in two steps, raised his hand and slapped him in the face.

"As your elder brother, I can still teach you a lesson."

"Reckless man~" Wu Ma hid back from the sea and slapped his hand away.

"Who can obey you..."

"Let's see who dares to disobey..."

"..."

The empress looked at the two brothers quarreling with each other in the hall, and her eyes twitched twice.

Do the Wu Ma family still regard her as their majesty? !

“Bold!!!”

The empress slammed the table angrily.

However, the two brothers who were fighting each other had no intention of stopping at all.

The people of the Wu Ma family watched the two brothers fighting each other as if they were used to it.

Even if family members fight, they won't get hurt. Just some flesh bruises, so feel free to make a fuss.

The empress gritted her teeth, looked at the chaotic scene, and stood up suddenly.

"Go back to the palace!!"

......

"Huh!?" Lin Yiran narrowed her eyes and looked at the carriage coming out of the Wu Ma family's old house.

"Is that the prince's carriage?"

Lin Changshou looked carefully.

"Looking at the logo on the carriage and the carriage with gold lines and dark patterns, it should be a carriage for people from the imperial city."

"A carriage like this is for people of the rank of a county king or above."

Lin Yiran frowned slightly as she looked at the hundreds of secret guards following the carriage.

"Wait until they are far away..."

These secret guards are all very skilled in martial arts, and they would be easily discovered if they got too close.

Now is not the time to deal with the royal family. The royal family can do so at any time if they want to.

The Wu Ma family is her main target this time.

After the carriage and the secret guards disappeared from Lin Yiran's sight,

"Follow the plan."

"Yes!" Everyone responded.

Ah Zheng took the remaining children and went to guard several exits near the old house of the Wu Ma family.

Lin Yiran led the Lin family army directly into the Wu Ma family’s old house.

The death squad training base to the east of Lingxiao City is located in the mountain behind the Wu Ma family’s old house.

The old house of the Wu Ma family covers a very large area, which is comparable to one-third the size of the imperial palace.

The two hills where the assassins were trained were all within the old house.

This shows how powerful the Wu Ma family is.

On the road leading to the imperial city, Lin Yiran swept away all the property of the Wu Ma family in various cities.

She left all the food in the Wu Ma family warehouse to her eldest brother, and even filled up some warehouses that were not full.

Anyway, no one in the cities dared to go to the Wu Ma family's territory to cause trouble without permission, so no one knew that all the people of the Wu Ma family had been killed.

At this time, in the main hall of the Wu Ma family’s old house, the two sons of the old patriarch were still wrestling with each other.

We are all family. You cannot verbally attack your ancestors. You can only attack individuals.

After Lin Yiran dealt with all the assassins outside the main hall, she stood at the door of the hall with a sword in hand, looking at the people of the Wu Ma family who were still watching the fun, and smiled.

"DuangDuang"

Lin Changshou knocked twice on the heavy door.

The noisy hall suddenly became quiet.

Wu Ma Chaohai's index and middle fingers were picking at Wu Ma Chaojiang's two nostrils.

Wu Ma Chaojiang pulled Wu Ma Chaohai's ears with both hands, and the two brothers looked towards the door with red faces.

"who!!?"

Seeing the stranger suddenly appear at the door, Wu Ma Chaojiang immediately withdrew his hand in panic and looked at Lin Yiran with a panicked expression.

When everyone in the Wu Ma family saw Lin Yiran, their pupils trembled and surprise flashed in their eyes.

Then they saw the bloody sword in her hand, and they all stood up in fright, ran a few steps inside, and shouted,

"Someone come quickly, someone come quickly, someone come quickly!!!"

Wu Ma Chaohai looked at Lin Yiran in fascination until he came back to his senses when he heard a panicked shout.

He frowned and looked outside the hall.

All the assassins guarding outside the hall fell to the ground, and streams of dark red blood flowed in the yard.

Wu Ma Chaohai looked at Lin Yiran in horror, without any trace of obsession in his eyes.

This woman actually took care of all the assassins quietly right under their noses.

The warriors who can protect them in this yard are all top-notch warriors.

Ever since Wu Ma Chaofu and the old patriarch were assassinated, he has been accompanied by assassins whenever he goes out.

The main hall was filled with their family members, so all the assassins they brought with them were guarding in the yard and on the roof.

By the way, where are the assassins on the roof?
