Deposed Empress General Chapter 52

More sounds of dripping occurred, and the candlelight wavered in the night. The Yan palace was extremely quiet.

Murong Yan was reviewing memorandums, when he suddenly asked, "On the side of Swallow's Nest, has no news arrived?"

Wang Yunzhao said, "Young master Leng ordered people to return news, informing us of the identities of the assassins in prison, are still being confirmed."

Murong Yan said, "Normally when Swallow's Nest performs tasks, it is usually prompt, why have they been quiet so long with the news this time? I only wanted to confirm that these seven people are members of Cangjian Sect, is it very complicated?"

Wang Yunzhao smiled saying, "After all, Cangjian sect is currently in the midst of escaping, and thinking of it, the disciples beneath them are scattered, so the ones that are difficult to confirm are also existent. This servant rather thinks, young master Leng's particular care with news, is not anything bad. Otherwise if the assassins aren't from Cangjian Sect, and there are still supporting factions in the shadows, wouldn't it place your majesty in the midst of danger?"

Murong Yan said, "This sword's ability to submit is growing increasingly worse."

Wang Yunzhao was startled, but listened as he continued, "No matter what, Cangjian Sect, I do not plan on leaving around. Since they are willing to die in the service of father king, I will allow them, perhaps. Send an order to Leng Feiyan, to exterminate Cangjian sect. I don't want to see a single person from this martial arts world faction alive."

Wang Yunzhao said, "Yes."

Outside, the imperial guard made another patrol, and Wang Yunzhao said, "Your majesty, it's already no longer early, so are you heading to her ladyship's hall to rest?"

Murong Yan said, "At this time, I think the queen has probably already rested, so I won't go to bother her."

Wang Yunzhao said, "What is your majesty saying, no matter what time your majesty heads there, her ladyship would also have boundless joy."

Murong Yan said, "Really?" Thinking it over, he finally said, "Then I'll go over there."

Wang Yunzhao lifted the lantern, and walked in the front, leading the way, When they had almost gotten to Qi Feng Hall, the aura of coldness surrounding Murong Yan slowly dissipated. What replaced it, was a type of soft and compassionate elegance. When they entered Qi Feng Hall, Murong Yan stopped the palace servant girl that wanted to enter to announce his arrival, walking inside himself.

His footsteps were very light, and only saw that behind the light red bed curtains, Jiang Bilan was deep asleep, beautiful like a begonia. He parted the curtain, and disrobed, getting into the bed. He was careful not to wake her. But one of her jade like arms still reached over, wrapping around him by habit.

Murong Yan saw that she truly hadn't awoken, and slowly nudged her long arm. This type of beautiful and smooth hand, back then, had royal older brother also kissed and gotten drunk in?

He thought of this, but very quickly stopped. Currently, the beauty by his pillow side was already his own wife, and was the woman he had acknowledge for his lifetime. What was the point of thinking of this?

Yu Hou pass, Leng Feiyan received Murong Yan's order. On it, was a few simple words---- Exterminate Cangjian Sect.

She ripped the letter into scraps, and rose to stand in front of the window. At that time, the moon by Yu Hou pass illuminated thousands of miles, and a small shower drizzled beneath the moon, holding a type of mystical air. She unknowingly sighed, and behind her, a voice suddenly asked, "Why are you sighing?"

Leng Feiyan turned around, and saw Wu Gu standing behind her, his expression cold like jade.

She raised her hand, lifting his chin, saying, "Next time you enter, you should first say something. After all, this is still considered your Pavilion Leader, my bedroom. If I was in the middle of changing my clothes, or doing anything not fit for public display, as a man, how could you silently break in here, as no matter what, it would be a bit awkward."

Wu Gu held her wrist, saying, "Every inch of your body, which those men have seen, touched, only I cannot?"

And then he suddenly felt a stabbing numbing pain of ten thousand swords, and had unknowingly bent his waist, as Leng Feiyan had already raised her right knee, bumping his chest. Wu Gu only felt sourness in his stomach rising, his head aching.

Leng Feiyan said, "Take a look, you really can't."

Wu Gu couldn't rise for a long time, and didn't have any way of opening his mouth. Leng Feiyan watched him for a long time, before saying, "His majesty ordered us to exterminate Cangjian sect."

Wu Gu was stunned, and then and then a sense of slight joy quickly flitted across his eyes, saying, "Even that big brother Cang of yours?"

Leng Feiyan said, "Cang Tianqi, this person, has excellent martial arts, and if we fight head on, we may not be his match."

At this, Wu Gu understood, that what she had said was the truth. And she had already begun thinking, how to carry out this order. His heart had a slight sense of coldness, as all these days, although he didn't come here a lot, but he couldn't help but pay attention to every movement of Leng Feiyan's.

She lived like a small wife here, and the moment Cang Ge came back, she would wash clothes and make meals, and learned from him how to play the flute. Sometimes, the two of them would wash the clothes together in the yard, and usually it was always Cang Ge doing the work, as she sat by the side, watching. They would talk and laugh, and occasionally, exchange gazes. They didn't need words, but they would touch the depths of each other.

But now, after she had received the order to kill Cang Ge's entire family, the first thing she thought of, was how to face Cang Tianqi.

Wu Gu's expression slowly turned grave, saying, "You have a way?"

She looked at the moon, her light hair spread, falling to her waist. The tea-white dress, lightly illuminated by the moonlight. It was alluring and mesmerizing. Wu Gu didn't know why, but he lost his anger, saying, "I will return again to Swallow's Nest, and see if I can contact other martial arts masters. In this time period, you cannot make a reckless move."

Leng Feiyan said, "You're the one that shouldn't move recklessly. Duanmu Clan's former Clan head, Duanmu Qiu, has lost to Cang Tianqi three times. His last defeat, his hand's nerves were separated, and henceforth, became a disabled person." Wu Gu was stunned, and Leng Feiyan slowly turned around, saying, "But whether you believe it or not, I have confidence to beat him."

When she said this sentence, her eyes revealed a heaven defying arrogance and killing intent, practically able to split the skin of those standing around her.

Wu Gu of course didn't believe it, and he said, "Leng Feiyan, you've lost your mind."

Leng Feiyan laughed until she couldn't straighten her waist, and after she finished laughing, her expression turned cold, her right hand brushing against her face, saying, "Find out where he is, and I will show you how to slay a god."
