She was extremely fast, and the dagger almost slashed across Ling Yun's neck again and again. Ling Yun tilted his head back and was forced to retreat several steps. The sword in his hand could only be used to parry and could not fight back.

Li Shuangwan was determined to kill Ling Yun before leaving Northern Jin.

She was very fast and powerful, and after a moment she pressed Ling Yun against the wall.

Although he has martial arts skills, he is not as good as Li Shuangwan, whose martial arts skills are even better.

What's more, she grew up in the army. There are not so many tricks on the battlefield. What is needed is the killing move that can take the enemy's life directly.

Ling Yun never expected that a woman's strength would be so great. He was pressed so hard that he couldn't break free. He said angrily, "Has the fourth brother never known about this? Has he been fooled by you? Li Shuangwan, you are so scheming! Your General's Mansion has 300,000 troops. The northwest only knows your father, General Li, but not the court or the emperor. You also tried every means to marry Ling Heng. What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? No wonder you haven't been able to defeat Northern Qi for decades. You are relying on your own troops and you are committing a heinous crime that will punish your entire clan!"

Li Shuangwan sneered. This was the suspicion that the Ling family had towards their general's mansion and their father and brother!

Emperor Jingzhang had long been suspicious of his father and brother. Even if Ling Heng hadn't been there, if any other prince had ascended the throne, the General's Mansion would certainly not have ended well.

My parents and brother have been guarding the northwest border for decades for such a master. Emperor Jingzhang said casually that the treasury was empty, and my parents took out their own salaries and my mother's dowry without hesitation to buy food and clothes for the soldiers. How ridiculous.

"Kill all nine clans? Ha, Lingyun, then I will kill you first today!" After saying that, the dagger moved two inches closer and was already pressing on his neck, with blood flowing out.

The bone-piercing pain and the instinct for survival aroused Ling Yun's deepest fighting spirit. He suddenly pushed Li Shuangwan away and swung the sword towards Li Shuangwan's chest.

Although this is the front yard, the imperial guards always guard outside and never step into his mansion.

Because just two days ago, one of his concubines couldn't stand being locked up for a long time and made a big fuss in the mansion and wanted to leave. He shouted at her to shut up, and the imperial guards heard it but didn't come in to check.

He had even less hope at this moment. Even if he shouted his throat out, the imperial guards would not come in to rescue him.

Li Shuangwan dodged nimbly.

Ling Yun relied on his height advantage, long legs and long arms, and wielded a sword in one hand and a fist in the other, trying to get rid of Li Shuangwan as soon as possible.

What kind of person is Li Shuangwan? She dodged Ling Yun's attack with a feint with the dagger in her right hand, attacked with her left hand, and at the same time, she suddenly raised her leg and swept it.

He used both hands and feet to attack almost simultaneously. Most people couldn't do this, not to mention that Ling Yun's martial arts skills were mediocre among the other princes.

His pupils suddenly shrank, and he staggered back several steps before steadying himself. Alarm bells were already ringing in his heart. After Li Shuangwan made this move, he knew that he was no match for her.

How to do?

Martial arts, my martial arts are not as good as hers.

The strength, the power seems to be comparable.

Now the only advantage left is height.

The dagger in her hand was short, his hand was long, and the sword in his hand was much longer than the dagger.

After realizing this, Ling Yun did not dare to approach Li Shuangwan casually, and waved his sword from a distance.

Li Shuangwan's lips curled up with a hint of disdain. Just when Ling Yun was about to stab her to death with another sword, she suddenly raised her right hand and pressed the mechanism, and several silver needles flew out.

But in the blink of an eye, several silver needles were all inserted into his body.

This is the bracelet that Gu Xingyan gave her.

Even though the silver needle failed to pierce his vitals, the anesthetic coated on the needle made him lose all his strength instantly.

The sword fell to the ground with a clang.

It was almost midnight, and it was time for her to leave the city. Li Shuangwan curled her lips into a smile, grabbed Ling Yun's hair, and put the dagger to his neck.

"Wait a moment!"

Ling Yun's voice trembled: "I, I have no grudges with your General's Mansion and you, Li Shuangwan, in the past and in the present, why do you want to kill me?"

"Why should I kill you?" Li Shuangwan sneered, "As a prince of Northern Jin, you disregarded the lives of thousands of soldiers for your own selfish interests. Emperor Jingzhang was reluctant to kill you because you are his son. Then, what about those soldiers you killed? They were also the husbands of their wives, the sons of their parents, and the fathers of their children! Why should they be killed by you for no reason, but you can still live well!"

"I didn't kill you, so what do they have to do with you? You can't kill me!"

"What does it have to do with me? Haha, because I, Li Shuangwan, am also a soldier!" After saying that, Li Shuangwan didn't give Ling Yun any more time to talk nonsense. He slashed his neck with the dagger and blood gushed out.

Ling Yun, who was able to survive by standing on thousands of corpses, finally died.

Li Shuangwan wiped the dagger on his body, stood up, opened the door, and left quietly as he came.

At the gate of the Second Prince's mansion, the imperial guards were still huddled against the wall, snoring softly, completely unaware that two lives had already been taken inside the mansion.

Li Shuangwan was wearing a nightgown and walked in the dark as if it were broad daylight. He moved very quickly and soon arrived at the gate of Gu's house.

The door creaked open from the inside, and Butler Luo quickly moved aside to make way for it: "Miss Li, you are here. Everything is ready. You can leave now."

Li Shuangwan nodded: "Thank you. Butler Luo, once this matter is over, you should also leave Prince Heng's Mansion as soon as possible."

Butler Luo put on a smile and tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Miss Li successfully escaped from Prince Heng's Mansion, so there was no need for him to stay there. He smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen have asked Master Shu to return to Daliang. His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has asked me to take over the intelligence network of Northern Jin. Don't worry, Miss, after Madam has counted your dowry and taken it away from Prince Heng's Mansion, I will find a chance to leave."

Li Shuangwan nodded: "The real Luo Butler is still imprisoned, right?"

"Yes, we treat you with delicious food and drinks every day. Have a safe trip, girl."

After saying that, Butler Luo opened the door of the secret passage and let Li Shuangwan in.

This secret passage leads directly to their farm outside the capital. On New Year’s Eve last year, the master and his men set out from here and returned to Daliang.

……

The next day, Emperor Jingzhang issued an edict to announce to the world:

Wan Yuzhi was stripped of her title of Imperial Concubine and demoted to a commoner. She plotted to murder the princess of a prince with such cruel means and vicious thoughts that it was outrageous. She was sentenced to death according to the law. Because her intention was evil and her means were too cruel, her sentence was changed from beheading in the autumn to immediate execution. The execution will be carried out at Caishikou at noon today, and Zhu Qizheng, the Minister of the Dali Temple, will supervise the execution.

Wan Yuzhi, a favorite concubine of her time, was beheaded on the 22nd day of the first lunar month.

Before she died, her tongue had been cut off, and when her head rolled on the ground, her eyes were still wide open with despair and unwillingness.
