Ling Hai and Ling Miao worked together and lifted the straw mat covering the handcart, revealing the man lying under it.

Even from a distance, under the moonlight, Yuan Gui could still see clearly that the man was Duke Lang, Xiao Juan!

These two children had really brought Duke Lang here!

Yuan Gui was very surprised, but at the same time, he was a little suspicious. He was afraid that there was a trap, so he did not act rashly and asked.

“How did you capture Duke Lang?”

“To be honest, we’re two wandering beggars who happened to be taken in by Duke Lang. However, he treated us extremely harshly and let his subordinates bully us.”

“We had long intended to escape. Today, there was suddenly a fire in the princess’s residence. The residence was in chaos. We siblings seized the opportunity to escape.”

“On the way, we bumped into Duke Lang. He was looking for the county princess and asking if we had seen her. I lied to him and said I knew where the princess consort was.”

“He really believed me and asked me to quickly bring him to see the County Princess. We took him somewhere private and stabbed him in the heart when he was unprepared.”

As Ling Hai spoke, he pointed at Xiao Juan’s heart.

“If you don’t believe me, look for yourself. The dagger is still in him!”

Yuan Gui looked over and indeed saw a dagger inserted in Xiao Juan’s heart. The wound had already stopped bleeding, but the clothes on Xiao Juan’s chest had long been dyed dark red by blood.

The truth was right in front of him. Yuan Gui had no choice but to believe it.

He told Ling Hai and Ling Miao to stand still and then spoke to the deputy general beside him.

“Go down and take a look.”

“Yes!”

The deputy general led the two men down the stairs. Their footsteps hurried down the city tower to the handcart.

They first reached out to check Xiao Juan’s breathing.

He was indeed dead.

Then, they checked the wound on Xiao Juan’s chest and confirmed that it was real.

The deputy general gripped the hilt of the dagger and pulled it out. A string of bright red blood beads flew out.

Ling Miao was very afraid and hurriedly hid behind her brother. Ling Hai was not nervous at all and even took the initiative to speak. “Go ahead and check, sir. We swear we’re not lying.”

The deputy general looked at Xiao Juan, who was lying motionless on the handcart, and already believed what Ling Hai said. It seemed that Duke Lang was really dead.

Who would have thought?

The famous Duke Lang had actually died at the hands of two unknown children.

No one would believe this.

The deputy general casually threw the dagger aside and wiped the blood on the back of his hand on his shirt twice. Then he took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve.

“Here’s your reward. Take it.”

The moment Ling Hai saw the banknotes, his eyes lit up.

He was like a real money-grubber. He grabbed the banknote tightly and kept thanking him.

“Thank you, sir! Thank you!”

Then he pulled his sister and ran away quickly.

The soldier beside him could not help but ask.

“General, are we just going to let them go?”

The deputy general said indifferently, “They’re just two brats. There’s no need to waste time on them. The most important thing now is Duke Lang. The two of you, carry the corpse up for the commandant to see.”

“Yes!”

Two soldiers lifted Xiao Juan and strode towards the city gate tower.

Yuan Gui placed his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the house.

He immediately asked when he saw the deputy general return with his men. “How’s the situation? Is it really Duke Lang?”

The deputy general said, “I’ve already verified that it’s indeed Duke Lang. We even brought him back!”

Hearing this, Yuan Gui was shocked and hurriedly retreated. He reached out and pressed the saber at his waist, looking like he was about to draw it at any moment.

The deputy general hurriedly explained.

“Don’t be nervous. Duke Lang is already dead. We brought back a corpse. It can’t hurt you.”

Yuan Gui let go of the hilt and cleared his throat.

“I’m not nervous. Where’s the body?”

The deputy general asked his two soldiers to carry the corpse into the house.

The body was placed.

Yuan Gui walked over to take a closer look and was overjoyed to find that Xiao Juan was really dead.

“Sure! That’s great!”

Ever since he found out that the wretched emperor had sent Duke Lang to

Liangzhou, he had been uneasy. He was afraid that the secret of him and Princess Ni Yang secretly colluding and plotting a rebellion would be discovered.

Now that Duke Lang was dead, no one could threaten him anymore.

He would soon be able to take over the entire Liangzhou and establish himself as a king. In the future, he would annex the nearby territory step by step until he took the entire Dayan for himself!

The deputy general was very discerning. He immediately knelt on one knee and congratulated him.

“Congratulations, Captain, on getting rid of your greatest worry! ”

The others in the room knelt down and congratulated the commandant in unison.

Yuan Gui’s face lit up. “We resolved Duke Lang without spending a single soldier. This matter has to be recorded so it will go down in history in the future.”

The deputy general flattered him. “Of course!”

Yuan Gui circled Xiao Juan twice again. Seeing that the saber hanging in his suite was very good, he could not help but bend down and reach out to take it, muttering.

“This should be the legendary No Return Saber, right? I heard that as long as it’s unsheathed, it must see blood. Wouldn’t it be a pity to lose such a divine weapon? Why don’t you leave it for me as a souvenir…”

Before he could finish, he saw Xiao Juan, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly open his eyes.

Before he could react, Xiao Juan had already pulled out the No Return Saber and pressed the blade against Yuan Gui’s neck.

“Don’t move.”

Yuan Gui felt the chill on his neck and trembled in fear.

Afraid that his neck would be severed, he didn’t dare move.

The deputy general and the others were also shocked. They hurriedly pulled out their sabers and aimed them at Xiao Juan.

Yuan Gui asked in a trembling voice, “Aren’t you dead?”

Xiao Juan was naturally not really dead.

The wound in his chest looked deep, but it was less than an inch. It was still a distance from his heart. Coupled with Lo Pingsha stopping the bleeding in time, it was not fatal at all.

Just now, he had taken Lo Pingsha’s special pill to make his breathing very weak. He was using his internal energy to hold his breath and make himself appear very dead.

As for the dagger in his heart, it was actually a retractable knife.

Only a portion of the tip of the knife stabbed into Xiao Juan’s chest, but because a portion of its knife had been retracted, outsiders would think that the dagger had pierced very deep.

Xiao Juan had already stood up.

He held the knife in one hand and pressed the other on Yuan Gui’s shoulder.

“Open the gates if you don’t want to die.”

Yuan Gui suppressed his fear, “Do you want your subordinates to leave Jinwu

City? That’s impossible. I won’t let them leak the news!”

Xiao Juan said, “Looks like you’re not afraid of death?”

Yuan Gui gritted his teeth. “If I die, don’t even think about leaving here alive!”

Xiao Juan said, “In that case, I’ll send you on your way first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he slashed out with the No Return Saber in his hand. Before Yuan Gui could even cry out, a deep wound appeared on his neck..
