I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1859 - 1860: Waited So Long My Feet Broke Out in Rashes
When the maid hurriedly left, a heartfelt smile appeared on your face: "I knew from reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Wang Yun had a Seven Treasures Sword, and it seems this is the one, Seven Treasures, Seven Treasures, it seems this thing is a treasure, hehe, it’s mine now!"
As Wang Yun entered the study with the maid, you were already playing with the Seven Treasures Sword in your hand. Seeing Wang Yun come in, you straightforwardly said, "Lord Situ, how about giving this sword to me?"
"This..." Wang Yun appeared a bit hesitant, "This sword is used by this old man to protect the house, and besides, it’s a bit small..."
"Oh, come on, stop beating around the bush, one word, will you give it or not?"
"This..." To be frank, if it were someone else, Wang Yun would have long chased them out with a broom, but you are different. At present, to eliminate Dong Zhuo, you are the main force.
"Lord Situ, this sword is excellent, three days later I will use it to pierce Dong Zhuo’s heart!"
With your declaration, Wang Yun couldn’t utter a word in response. Although it was hard for him to part with it, since you had said so, he could only compromise. After all, to him, the Seven Treasures Sword was just an ornament, and the urgent task was to kill Dong Zhuo. As long as Dong Zhuo was dead, everything would be negotiable.
"In that case, this sword is hereby given to Nephew Li, and I hope Nephew Li will treat it well."
With a chuckle, you placed the Seven Treasures Sword into your bosom and said, "This sword can be kept close, convenient for assassination. The most important thing is, the blade is extremely sharp, even if Dong Zhuo wears armor, it can easily pierce through, ensuring the assassination without fail."
"Good!"
Beyond this word, Wang Yun could say nothing else.
The next day, you disappeared, and no one knew where you went.
On the other hand, Wang Yun and Lü Bu were busily preparing the specifics, and you still hadn’t appeared. Although Wang Yun was suspicious, this matter could only rely on you.
On the morning of the third day, Dong Zhuo, surrounded by civil and military officials like the moon surrounded by stars, slowly approached the main hall. At this time, officials encountered along the way were no longer calling Dong Zhuo Grand Master, but bowing and scraping, calling him "The Emperor."
Dong Zhuo swaggered at the front of the crowd, his demeanor arrogant, his boastful laughter contained a contempt for all living things.
"Grand Master!"
A voice abruptly exploded in the crowd.
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo turned back and scolded angrily: "Who is making noise!"
"Me, Li Muyun!"
As the sound of "Yun" reached everyone’s ears, a dagger was already lodged in Dong Zhuo’s chest!
The person was you. At this moment, you were not masked, and you had already announced your name just now, so everyone present knew that this assassin was named Li Muyun. As for who Li Muyun was, not many people probably knew this name.
"You..."
Dong Zhuo glared at you, as if wanting to etch your face firmly into his memory.
"After you go to Hell, send my regards to King Yama for me." You grinned, and with a sudden force, your entire hand pierced through Dong Zhuo’s chest!
"Whoosh!"
Just as your arm pierced Dong Zhuo’s chest, five figures flashed around you.
"Clang!"
Five sharp steel blades struck almost simultaneously at your back and neck, but apart from leaving a rather shallow wound on your neck, the other four blades did you no harm.
"Ha, hahaha—"
You suddenly looked up and laughed wildly, with one punch exploding the head of the one who wounded your neck. Amidst the splattering blood, you quickly flashed, and in the blink of an eye, you were standing on the palace wall.
"The traitor Dong is dead, rejoice, Li Muyun bids farewell!"
With a shout that spread to the four corners, you rapidly fled toward the East under the swift pursuit of the four black-clad people.
In the eyes of many, you were smiling, gracefully heading east, so much so that for a long time the people of the Nine Provinces talked about your move with great relish. However, that was just a rumor in the Jianghu society and the streets; in reality, after you had run rapidly for a few minutes, you stepped onto a civilian house, but your foot slipped, and you fell, only to be caught by a net soaked in oil awaiting you inside, surrounded by dozens of oddly dressed people exuding eerie vibes from head to toe.
The first person you saw was no one else, but Zang Ba, along with that silent middle-aged man.
"Zang Ba, what is the meaning of this?"
Zang Ba scratched the back of his head, wearing a bitter smile as he looked at you and said, "Brother Li, sorry, I am just following orders. Also, I advise you not to resist; when you fell, you inhaled our specially made poison. Even if you escape, without the antidote within an hour, you will surely die." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
You snorted coldly, also exuding a sharp killing intent: "Don’t think I truly dare not strike!"
The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, a laugh that sent shivers down one’s spine: "You really dare not, because everyone here is poisoned like you; even if you kill us, you won’t get the antidote. Our master has indeed invested heavily to capture you alive."
You spoke no more, knowing now that saying more to these people would do no good. You indeed felt a chilling energy within you, the breath had entered your body through the air, already sealing your energy gates, largely controlling your body.
Although you did not know how Lü Fengxian would treat you, you at least believed she wouldn’t kill you; if she really intended to kill you, she would have done so long ago.
Zang Ba imprisoned you, and it lasted several days without release. Being kept in a relatively dark dungeon, you were unaware of the passage of time in the outside world, nor did you know how many days had passed. However, in those days they would punctually have you take a certain medicine each day, and after consuming it, you would feel completely exhausted, unable to even muster the energy to walk a few steps.
For several days, apart from the servants delivering meals and medicine, you didn’t see anyone else.
Until you had waited somewhat impatiently, several uneven steps came from the darkness.
"Finally here, I’ve waited until my feet have gotten rashes." You scratched your sole and looked up to find three people standing outside the iron bars. The one in the middle was none other than Lü Fengxian, and she was actually dressed in women’s clothing, making you rub your eyes in surprise.
Lü Fengxian’s beauty naturally needed no more words, you just couldn’t understand why she appeared dressed as a woman. Meanwhile, standing behind Lü Fengxian were an elderly man and woman, both hunchbacked and of senior age. Though they appeared very old, facing them was not at all easy for you.
Just their gaze upon you instilled an invisible pressure.
The womanly dressed Lü Fengxian shed her usual grandeur, prettily standing before you like an immortal fallen into the mortal world, detached and unique.
"Yo, long time no see." You waved to Lü Fengxian somewhat feebly, flashing a bright smile.
"Hehe, truly worthy of the one who killed Dong Zhuo, to be able to still joke around after being locked in this pitch-dark dungeon for over half a month." The grandfather on Lü Fengxian’s left hand side, when he smiled, showed only two teeth.
"Hmph, just a barbarian, I have at least a hundred men who could kill Dong Zhuo." The old lady had a perpetual sullen face, giving the impression she suffered from severe imbalances due to long-term lack of male company.
Lü Fengxian looked straight at you, without saying a word.
