The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Duan Tianyang squatted down and picked up the unknown hidden weapon.

He looked at it carefully, and as he turned it over, the hidden weapon flickered faintly under the light and shadow, looking a bit like the rain of pear blossom needles described in the modern world's "Douluo Dalu".

The hidden weapon is heavy, and from its appearance it is not difficult to see the exquisite craftsmanship of casting it.

His eyes moved around, finally landing on the still unconscious woman in white, and many doubts arose in his mind.

He stood up, his voice heavy: "How is General Lei's condition?"

Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer exchanged a sad look and replied in a low voice: "Master Lei, he... is dead."

The white-clothed woman's original target was Duan Tianyang. When the silver needle was shot out, Lei Jin was sitting next to him and was unfortunately affected.

Although the silver needles did not hit him in large numbers, the deadly poison contained in the silver needles took his life instantly.

Duan Tianyang heard this, his eyes instantly became as sharp as a knife, and he glanced at the woman in white again, and said in a resolute tone: "Take her away!"

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, there was chaos everywhere. The musicians and dancers were all firmly controlled by the Hongxing Army and the rebel army. They were trembling and filled with fear.

Beside Lei Jin's body, the imperial army and the rebel army knelt together, their grief evident in words.

Seeing Duan Tianyang and his group returning with the captured assassin, Samir in the crowd stood up suddenly, roared, drew his sword, and rushed towards the woman in white.

Before he could get close, Lu Jingyuan quickly took action and stopped him.

Samir's grief and indignation were beyond words. He shouted loudly: "Lord Lei was murdered because of her! Lord Duan, you must seek justice for Lord Lei!"

Duan Tianyang did not respond immediately. He slowly swept his eyes over the musicians and dancers present and asked in a deep voice, "Who brought them into the City Lord's Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment, a centurion of the imperial army, with a face as pale as paper, stepped out of the ranks tremblingly, his voice trembling a little: "My lord, it was I who brought them into the city lord's mansion."

Duan Tianyang looked gentle and said in a soothing voice, "Don't be nervous. When you led them into the mansion, did you notice anything unusual?"

The centurion shook his head repeatedly: "No...no..."

Duan Tianyang's deep eyes stayed on his face for a moment, then turned to the panicked musicians and dancers and asked again: "Do you know her?"

The musicians and dancers were terrified. They shook their heads in denial, their voices trembling with fear: "Sir, we don't even know her!"

Duan Tianyang frowned, obviously confused by their answers.

At this time, another centurion stepped forward and explained solemnly, "Sir, these singers and dancers were all invited by Lord Lei from various brothels in the city to entertain you. Most of them don't know each other. The assassin may have taken advantage of this and sneaked into the city lord's mansion to assassinate you."

Once these words were spoken, everything seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

Duan Tianyang turned to the centurion and asked, "What's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Liu Wei." The centurion answered respectfully.

Duan Tianyang nodded and ordered, "Liu Wei, you will be the one to interrogate these people. If you find out that they are related to the assassins, you must investigate thoroughly; if they are proven to be innocent, release them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Samir in the crowd protested loudly: "The assassin dared to commit a crime in the City Lord's Mansion and killed Lord Lei. His crime is heinous! These people, whether they knew about it or not, cannot escape responsibility! It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go! Please think twice and execute these people together!"

When Duan Tianyang heard this, a barely perceptible coldness flashed in his eyes. He didn't need anyone to teach him how to do things, but this Samir was quite cruel to the Jin people.

He did not refute Samir directly, but smiled faintly and asked Samir: "Samir, what position do you hold in the army?"

"I am the centurion of the righteous army."

"Who is your boss?"

"It is Lord Lei."

"Is there a position of battalion guard chief in the rebel army?"

"No, Lord Lei only appointed the position of centurion."

Duan Tianyang's eyes turned slightly, and he said calmly: "These assassins will be handed over to you and Liu Wei for trial. If they have any connection with the assassins, we must investigate thoroughly; if they are innocent, let them go. In addition, there are many brothers in the rebel army, and the position of the battalion guard cannot be vacant. Samir, from now on, you will temporarily serve as the battalion guard of the rebel army and command the rebel army in the city. Is there any problem?"

Samir was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After a moment, he came to his senses, knelt on the ground, kowtowed deeply, and his voice was filled with excitement and trembling that could not be concealed: "I am grateful for your kindness, sir. From now on, I will repay you with my death and swear to obey your orders!"

Duan Tianyang smiled secretly in his heart and thought to himself: Samir is a cruel person who hates the Jin people to the core. He can be used by our side to help us stabilize the Jin Pass.

Liu Wei, who was standing by, witnessed this scene, frowned slightly, and felt mixed emotions.

He was just a centurion, but Samir suddenly became the battalion guard commander. So who would listen to whom from now on?

He was about to speak, but Duan Tianyang seemed to have seen through his thoughts and waved his hand gently, saying, "Jinguan City cannot be without a master for a day. General Lei was unfortunately assassinated, and someone must take his place. Liu Wei, are you willing to take over the position of city lord temporarily?"

Liu Wei was shocked, and he quickly stepped forward, saluted, and replied: "I am willing to take on this responsibility!"

Duan Tianyang nodded and continued, "Very good. From now on, the imperial army in Jinguan City will be under your command, and the rebel army will be under the rule of Samir. You two need to work together to defend Jinguan, understand?"

"Yes, sir!" Liu Wei and Samir responded in unison.

"Go do it!"

After saying that, Duan Tianyang slowly walked to Lei Jin's body, squatted down, sighed softly, and reached out his hand to close Lei Jin's wide-open eyes.

Just a moment ago, he was a lively and cheerful person who frequently toasted him, but now he has turned into a cold corpse covered in black.

This huge contrast made Duan Tianyang feel endless emotion in his heart. Lei Jin's death was directly related to himself.

He stared at the corpse for a long time, his eyes unconsciously turning to the deadly hidden weapon in his hand.

Then he turned around and looked at the female assassin.

At this moment, she was awake, but she said nothing, just stared at him with a pair of cold and ruthless eyes.

Duan Tianyang took a deep breath, stood up, walked up to the female assassin and asked, "What's your name?"

The woman in white remained silent.

He gently waved the hidden weapon in front of her and asked again: "Where did this thing come from?"

The woman still didn't answer.

"Did the Jin Dynasty ask you to kill me?"

To his surprise, the woman suddenly spoke, her voice revealing a firm anger: "The Han dogs invaded our country and killed our compatriots. Everyone has the right to kill them!"
