Chapter 135: The Fear of Dong Zhuo
“Don’t come any closer!”
“What a sin, what a sin!”
Duan Zhengming watched this scene from the side, sighing deeply in his heart.
They didn’t rush to Tianlong Temple, but instead focused on saving Dao Baifeng.
Fortunately, Dao Baifeng’s wound didn’t pierce any vital organs. She was saved and was out of danger.
In the sky.
Following the Green Hat List, the Romantic List was also updated.
【Romantic List】
【Fifth Place, Wei Xiaobao】
【Son of Wei Chunhua of the Lichun Brothel in Yangzhou, romantic and passionate, vulgar and shameless.】
【Reward: Low-Grade Divine-Rank Tragic Crisp Breeze, which causes immediate collapse and weakness upon smelling, difficult to resist even for an Earthly Immortal.】
“Damn, what a good thing!”
Wei Xiaobao, who was drinking wine on a flower boat, perked up. Looking at the Tragic Crisp Breeze in his hand, a lewd smile appeared on his face:
“With this Low-Grade Divine-Rank Tragic Crisp Breeze, wouldn’t I be able to charm anyone I want? ”
“Even that woman Xu Lian, who makes Xiao Xuanzi fear, as long as I encounter her, I can charm her. Then wouldn’t she be at my mercy?”
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself. Xu Lian had once assassinated the previous Qing Emperor and was also a beauty on both the Assassin List and the Incomparable Beauty List.
If it were before, even if he had the desire, he wouldn’t have the guts.
But with the Low-Grade Divine-Rank Tragic Crisp Breeze.
He felt that he was about to rise up.
At the same time.
In the Great Qing Imperial Palace.
The Qing Emperor looked at the Romantic List, somewhat surprised, then smiled slightly: “I didn’t expect Xiao Guizi to be on the list. This fellow is quite the romantic!”
“In the future, I can reward him with some beauties!”
The Qing Emperor thought to himself.
◈◈◈
“Wei Xiaobao actually made it onto the Romantic List?”
Zhao Wu, holding Diao Chan’s lithe and voluptuous body, was slightly surprised.
In the original story, Wei Xiaobao had seven wives, but most of them were not with him willingly at first. Some were even forced after he drugged them.
Zhao Wu wouldn’t be surprised if this guy was on the Lecherous Bandit List.
However, Wei Xiaobao had been mixing in brothels since he was young, and he was skilled in sweet-talking, not only deceiving people but also deceiving women. It was reasonable that he was on the Romantic List.
“Does Martial King know Wei Xiaobao?”
Diao Chan smiled gently, her jade hand lifting a pot to pour wine for Zhao Wu.
“Is there anything in this world that this King doesn’t know?”
Zhao Wu smiled calmly and briefly recounted Wei Xiaobao’s story, which made Diao Chan marvel.
It must be said.
Wei Xiaobao’s experiences were also legendary.
“Hmm? A guest has arrived!”
Suddenly, Zhao Wu’s brow furrowed, his gaze seemingly piercing through the courtyard walls and doors, looking outside the Zhao Residence.
He saw a figure dressed in ordinary commoner’s linen, covered in blood as if a beggar, holding a long spear and riding a horse, rushing towards the Zhao Residence.
“Not good! She’s going to find Martial King!”
“Quickly stop her!”
Niu Fu roared. Once Lü Qiling reached the Zhao Residence, he wouldn’t be able to catch her.
Thinking of this.
He grabbed a long spear and threw it fiercely.
Chi!
The long spear drew a perfect arc in the air, piercing into the body of the warhorse that Lü Qiling was riding.
Hee-hee-hee.
The warhorse cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
Lü Qiling rolled to dissipate the force, then continued to run towards the Zhao Residence.
She had to survive.
And then avenge her mother.
“Huff…huff…”
Lü Qiling’s chest heaved, her whole body aching. She leaned weakly against the gate of the Zhao Residence, her face filled with hatred as she stared at Niu Fu and the other Xiliang cavalry.
Halt!
Niu Fu had just reached ten zhang in front of the Zhao Residence gate when he felt a terrifying, bone-chilling killing intent engulf him. He quickly dismounted and bowed, saying:
“I am Niu Fu, under the orders of the Chancellor to capture the villainous daughter of Lü Bu, who offended Martial King. Please forgive me for the disturbance, Martial King!”
“Scram!”
A cold voice rang out, and Niu Fu’s chest felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. He coughed up blood and flew backward.
“General!”
The surrounding Xiliang soldiers quickly helped Niu Fu up, their eyes filled with fear.
Li Jue, Guo Si, and even Lü Bu had all died here.
How could they not be afraid?
“We have disturbed you greatly, farewell!”
Niu Fu didn’t dare say more, bowed, and then decisively ordered:
“Retreat!”
The Xiliang soldiers came quickly and left even faster.
The surrounding onlookers were shocked. Their gazes towards the Zhao Residence were filled with even greater awe.
“A true man should be like this!”
A Jianghu hero sighed. With just one word, he had made the infamous Xiliang soldiers retreat, and even after being injured, they didn’t dare complain, but instead bowed in apology.
The might of Martial King.
Was truly terrifying.
“Is this the power of Martial King?”
Lü Qiling, her body limp, leaned against the gate of the Zhao Residence, her heart filled with shock.
She was even more curious about the Great Qin Martial King Zhao Wu, whom she had never met.
Kacha Kacha Kacha.
Just then, the gate of the Zhao Residence opened. Lü Qiling was startled and quickly used her last bit of strength to stand up. She saw a tall, graceful, and cold figure standing behind the gate.
“Jing Ni!”
She recognized the person at a glance.
It was said that this woman had killed her father, Lü Bu, with a single sword strike.
Her hand holding the long spear tightened, but thinking of the gap between them, and of her mother’s repeated warnings before her death, her grip slowly loosened.
In fact, she knew that Lü Bu’s death was his own fault.
◈◈◈
It was no one else’s fault.
“Come in!”
Jing Ni’s voice was cold. She glanced at Lü Qiling, without much other expression.
Lü Qiling silently walked into the Zhao Residence, and then the gate closed.
She first went to wash up and remove the bloodstains from her body, changing into clean clothes. Then, she followed Jing Ni to the backyard.
She saw a figure lying on a Grand Tutor Chair, surrounded by a group of stunningly beautiful women.
Each one was unique, enchanting, and alluring.
“Diao Chan, the first on the Great Han Incomparable Beauty List, the High Priestess of the Great Qin Incomparable Beauty List, the Queen of Jingjue, Zhao Min of the Great Yuan Incomparable Beauty List, Han Ji, Zhou Zhiruo, Ji Xiaofu…”
Lü Qiling looked at the stunningly beautiful women, her heart couldn’t help but complain: “As expected, all men are the same, so corrupt!”
This work is organized and uploaded by 69 Book Bar~~
She followed Jing Ni forward. When she was ten steps away, she finally saw the legendary Martial King Zhao Wu.
In an instant.
Lü Qiling’s heart trembled, and she froze on the spot.
Her beautiful eyes stared blankly at Zhao Wu.
“So handsome!”
“How can there be such a perfect person in this world!”
Lü Qiling’s eyes were filled with shock.
At this moment.
All the resentment and anger in her heart were thrown to the back of her mind, leaving only that aloof and otherworldly figure.
It was said that as long as the face was good-looking, one’s values would follow the features.
“A tiger father doesn’t have a dog daughter. You have indeed inherited some of Lü Bu’s heroic spirit!”
While Lü Qiling was sizing up Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu was also sizing her up.
Although Lü Bu’s character was not good.
His martial arts and temperament were still quite good.
Lü Qiling had also inherited this well. She looked valiant and heroic, not inferior to Hu Sanniang, Liang Hongyu, Mu Guiying, and the others with whom Zhao Wu had had deep interactions.
“Your father can also be considered to have died at this King’s hands. Did you come here to seek revenge?”
Zhao Wu’s lazy and profound gaze looked at Lü Qiling.
Lü Qiling was startled by his words and immediately woke up. A blush appeared on her fair face. She had actually been staring blankly at a man.
And this man was the murderer who killed her father.
“My mother said that my father deserved to die, it was his own fault, and that I shouldn’t seek revenge.”
Lü Qiling looked at Zhao Wu, her heart pounding. She cut straight to the point: “I want to ask Martial King to avenge my mother and kill Dong Zhuo. No matter what the conditions, I agree.”
She had desperately escaped to Zhao Wu’s place.
Besides her mother’s instructions to seek refuge with Martial King to save her life, the most important purpose was that she wanted to kill Dong Zhuo and avenge her mother.
She knew that with her own strength, she could not kill Dong Zhuo at all.
But Zhao Wu could.
“Any conditions are acceptable?”
The corners of Zhao Wu’s mouth curled up. His gaze was undisguised as he sized up Lü Qiling’s tall and graceful, heroic figure.
Lü Qiling’s body trembled. She instinctively crossed her arms over her chest, but thinking of her current situation, she lowered her arms, lifted her head, and puffed out her chest, as if trying to show her assets.
However, tears welled up in her eyes as she tried to hold them back.
She pretended to be strong and said:
“As long as Martial King helps me kill Dong Zhuo, I will be yours!”
“Interesting!”
Zhao Wu smiled inwardly and said indifferently: “Your life was saved by this King. What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with this King?”
“I…”
Lü Qiling opened her mouth, but she didn’t know how to refute him.
Just now, she had indeed relied on Martial King’s power to scare off Niu Fu and save her life.
She wanted to say that she would return her life to Zhao Wu.
But without her life, how could she get Zhao Wu to kill Dong Zhuo?
“Alright, step back!”
Zhao Wu waved his hand.
Naturally, Zhao Wu liked beautiful women.
Which man didn’t want to collect more beauties?
Zhao Wu was no exception.
But he wasn’t in a hurry for the meat that was delivered to his mouth.
He would take his time.
Lü Qiling didn’t say anything more and retreated.
On the other side.
Niu Fu failed to capture Lü Qiling and returned to the Chancellor’s Residence with a helpless expression to report to Dong Zhuo.
“What? Lü Qiling ran to Martial King’s place?”
“You useless thing!”
“What are you all good for?”
Dong Zhuo was furious and kicked Niu Fu away. His eyes were filled with anger, as well as a hint of fear.
“Wen You, do you think Lü Qiling will get together with Martial King, and then seduce Martial King to kill us?”
Dong Zhuo was very worried, feeling as if a sharp sword was hanging over his head.
Li Ru thought for a moment, his expression grave, and said: “Father-in-law’s concerns are not without reason. Lü Qiling escaping to Martial King’s place is indeed very likely to make Martial King act by using herself as a condition.”
“And Martial King likes beautiful women, so it’s very likely that he won’t refuse Lü Qiling. As for whether he will kill Father-in-law for Lü Qiling, I can’t guarantee it.”
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo’s heart turned cold. He said in terror: “Then what should we do? The assassins from Heaven are elusive. If they come to assassinate me, I won’t be able to stop them at all?”
Li Ru also felt that this was a thorny issue.
In the face of absolute power.
Any strategy was useless.
“Does that mean my life is entirely in Martial King’s hands?”
Dong Zhuo clenched his fists, his eyes filled with boundless malice.
