Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 810: Who Wants to Kill Me?

"It’s getting late today, the Princess Consort and I need to rest, you all may withdraw now. We will set off back to the capital tomorrow!"

Li Qingmu said with a cold expression.

"Yes!"

These people responded, then immediately disappeared into the night.

"A Mu, who was it?"

Inside the house, Long Yue heard the noise and came out, glancing at the disappearing shadows with a slight frown, she asked.

"Nothing, just a few secret agents here to escort me back to the capital."

Li Qingmu didn’t want to burden Long Yue too much, so he casually said.

"Secret agents escorting us back to the capital? Shouldn’t they have come when we entered the Dazhou border, why come at night?"

Li Qingmu was taken aback, his young wife... even as a mother, her intelligence was still sharp, she had figured it out.

Indeed, with the efficiency of the Dazhou Yulong Pavilion’s spies, they would definitely know the moment we entered the border, but from noon until night has passed since we entered the border, their appearance now is suspicious.

"Don’t overthink it, just rest easy."

Li Qingmu still didn’t want Long Yue to worry too much, so he advised her to rest quickly.

Long Yue thought for a moment, anyway, with this man’s high martial arts now, ordinary people aren’t qualified to harm him, so she relaxed, "Alright!"

With his young wife settled down, Li Qingmu held her and went to a dreamland.

However, entering a dreamland didn’t mean Li Qingmu was oblivious to everything.

His martial arts are now very high, and his inner strength is deep, especially after the battle with You Su. Although he couldn’t match him at the time and only had a chance by risking his life to strike his vital point.

But this does not mean he is weak.

It’s just that You Su is too powerful.

After some recuperation and reflection, Li Qingmu’s strength has increased significantly, so he can sense the external world even in sleep, detecting any danger.

The night grew deeper, and the bright moon in the sky seemed to dim slightly, but the surrounding stars twinkled again.

"Swish, swish, swish—"

A few shadows descended like apparitions from the sky, arriving outside the inn and swiftly moved toward the inside.

These people are masters of martial arts, top warriors that could lead a domain in the outside world.

But here and now, they assembled for one purpose, the couple inside that inn!

"The master commands, kill that couple, including their child, and you will be greatly rewarded!"

Wielding a golden token, the leader of the black-clad figures spoke in a low voice.

"How much is the reward?"

Someone responded, inquiring about the price.

"Five thousand gold, is this revenge enough?"

The black-clad man spoke again, with impatience and disdain in his eyes.

He didn’t like the way these people questioned, which seemed very vulgar.

"Enough, enough!"

Upon hearing five thousand gold, excitement washed over the shadowy figures as if they were fueled by adrenaline.

"Be careful, the woman inside is good with using poisons, don’t get drugged or killed immediately when you go in, also the man knows some martial arts, but not very high-level, just acts like it, when you go in, don’t give them any chance, kill immediately, understood!?"

"Understood, boss, no problem at all!"

Finishing these words, the black-clad figures exchanged glances and swiftly charged inside.

The inn didn’t have many staying guests, in addition, they entered silently, who could notice them?

Even Yang Shiqi and Zhang Liulang, as secret agents, didn’t detect it at the first moment.

The shadows crossed a corridor and arrived outside the Li Qingmu couple’s room.

Here, someone had already scouted the place, confirming this was indeed their room, and found no significant guards around, suitable for the task. If they delayed further, until entering the core area of Dazhou, there would be no chance to strike.

"Click!"

The room door was gently unlocked, the assassin was careful not to make noise to disturb the sleeping Long Yue couple.

However, "clunk," the lock cylinder still dropped with a dull sound.

The shadow picking the lock trembled, listening carefully for any sound inside. Finding none, they pushed the door open lightly.

"Creak—"

The door opened, and the shadows rushed in.

They looked at the lump on the bed and gave a smug smile. These two must be tired from the day’s journey, how could they not wake up from such noise?

What a pair of pitiful fools!

The assassins were satisfied, then decisively raised their long knives, slashing towards the figures beneath the covers.

However, upon hearing a "poof," the man with the blade felt something was not right.

When cutting a person, shouldn’t there be a solid feeling? Why was it so soft here, even feeling like his blade was stuck as if sinking into some mud?

While the shadow was perplexed, the room’s lights suddenly flickered on.

"Are you looking for us?"

Li Qingmu’s cool voice suddenly echoed, carrying a murderous aura, startling the assassin’s heart, he quickly turned around to see Li Qingmu appearing miraculously behind him.

The assassin paled, knowing he was exposed, but since they had already moved, there was no turning back.

"Kill him!"

He roared angrily, and the nearby guards hearing the commotion inside ran in.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The door was violently rammed, and the black-clad men rushed in, a dozen of them surrounded the room completely.

Doors, windows, and some side doors.

There was no escape!

Li Qingmu looked at these black-clad men and only gave a light cold laugh. He could see easily how skilled their martial arts were, dealing with them wouldn’t require much effort.

But before that, he thought it best to ask who was behind this.

"Who sent you to kill me?"

"You don’t need to know, in Hell, you’ll naturally find out!"

A black-clad man said, lifting the long knife in his hand slowly, "Be sensible and accept death willingly, to avoid unnecessary suffering!"

They moved closer, wearing confident smiles on their faces.

After all, dealing with someone with little skill was like taking candy from a baby.

"So, trying to kill me, and you won’t even tell me who’s behind it? Won’t even let me die with clarity?"

He was no longer the Wu Xia Ameng of old, so he calmly and confidently talked with them, wanting to find out who was behind this.

The black-clad man slightly frowned, feeling that Li Qingmu’s demeanor wasn’t right. Was this the attitude of a soon-to-be-deceased person?

Shouldn’t there be fear and panic, why is he so calm?

Could it be, he has a backup plan? Or are there people nearby protecting him?

"Leader, don’t waste words on him, I think he’s stalling for time, waiting for others to come rescue him! Leader, time waits for no one, if we miss the chance, there won’t be another!"

The leader’s companion, another black-clad man, advised.

The man nodded: "Right, you reminded me, can’t give this cunning person any chance! Proceed!"

With his command, the black-clad figures raised their gleaming blades, all rushing towards Li Qingmu.
