Chapter 64b: Taxing Her Ingenuity

Luo Qing Luan lowered her head and said softly, “I’m just afraid……afraid that those things which I’ve hidden, those jewels and jewelry which His Highness the Crown Prince normally gave me, and also some other valuables, will be taken away by Father’s Concubine, so I want Father to put them away……”

“Jewels? You’re saying the Crown Prince gave you lots of treasures?” Once he heard this, one of the masked men’s eyes reddened with greed and impatiently asked for details, “Hurry and speak. Where did you secretly hide them? If you hand them over, we can let this old woman go. But you can give up on yourself, you’re dying for sure.”

“Really?” Luo Qing Luan seemed to be overjoyed at the turn of events and promptly responded, “Good. Alright, I’ll tell you. As long as you agree to let my wet nurse go……”

Nanny Song was stupefied hearing this. She promptly opposed, “No, My Lady, how can I watch you die, while I live?” It was unknown from where she summoned her courage, she bolstered herself and glared at those people. “You guys can kill me, but just let my mistress go, alright?”

“Wet Nurse, don’t speak anymore. As long as you live, you can go back and tell my father to have him help me get to the bottom of who wanted to hurt me. You have to keep on living.” Luo Qing Luan’s manner was totally of someone who’s going to be separated in life and death. “They’ll kill me, but will spare you. Wet Nurse, remember, you return home and tell my father.”

“My Lady……” Nanny Song wept buckets, her old tears gushing.

The masked men grew impatient and urged. “What are you fainthearted women doing, you girl, hurry and say it, where did you put those jewels. It’s best that you write a letter and we’ll deliver it, so that we can fulfill your wish, otherwise, will cut you up slice by slice……”

“I will.” Luo Qing Luan looked terrified. And exerted all of her strength to wave her hand, as if she was very scared that they would kill her, and promptly continued. “I was afraid that Father’s Concubine will find out that I secretly bought a small house. Even my father doesn’t know. Those jewelry and precious jewels are at that little house.”

Once they heard this, even that leader’s heart beat faster and shouted, “Hurry and speak, where is this place?”

Seeing that these three people were ensnared by step by step, Luo Qing Luan’s heart remained steady while her expression was as flustered as before, as if alarmed and scared that death is near at hand, yet she couldn’t help but speak out. “In that little house is hidden……all of the Crown, Crown Prince’s and also my mother’s……things which were given to me. They’re worth at least seventy or eighty taels of silver……”

“That much!” Exclaiming in surprise, a masked man couldn’t hold himself back and charged forward to grab her wrist and shouted, “Where’s that little house, speak!”

Luo Qing Luan shook from head to toe and replied in fright, “I’ll speak, I’ll speak! That little house is at……”

Just when she observed those masked men staring fixedly at her, completely forgetting themselves, her other hand pulled away the man’s mask at lightning speed, and quickly pressed two accupoints at his lower jaw. Taking advantage of the length of time when he couldn’t help but open his mouth, in a flash, she stuffed the pill in her hand into his mouth.

Such a lightning like period of time, the other two watched stunned.

Luo Qing Luan’s movements were just too fast, so fast that it was inconceivable. Where was her frightened appearance? She merely looked on coldly. In contrast to her previous panicky expression, there was even a sneer at the edge of her lips.

The man who ate the pill grew alarmed. He only felt something blocking his throat. He couldn’t spit it out even if he wanted to. Just as he was about to talk, he suddenly covered his throat. A suffering expression completely covered his face.

“Ah……AH……” As if he was choking, he fell on the ground while struggling, turning over this way and that. Some dark liquid already started bubbling from his mouth. In the blink of an eye, his entire face already turned as black as ink. It’s been merely a few breaths of time, yet he had already stopped breathing.

What deadly poison!

The nearest masked man’s expression changed. Without further thought, he charged at Luo Qing Luan with his sword raised. “I’m going to kill you!” As if he was facing a demon, he charged over, as if he wanted to chop off her delicate little neck with one swipe.

Luo Qing Luan raised her hand and waved. Only a white powder could be seen to be sprinkled, yet that masked man, although he wore a mask, he also couldn’t resist the Blackout Powder. With but one breath, he already fell onto the ground.

Believing that Luo Qing Luan killed two of his men instantly, the leader who was standing a bit farther became angry.

They merely got a little careless, and surprisingly, a little girl dealt with two of them. Counting also the subordinate who had previously been paralyzed by her, four big men failed to even deal with a girl? Simply so angry, fury flooded his heart, he no longer cared about anything else, and his murderous spirit soared. He moved quickly and already jumped towards her.

Not good!

Luo Qing Luan didn’t really know martial arts, but she was able to feel his killing intent. The other person clearly will longer hold back and wanted to strike her dead on the spot.

“My Lady!”

Just at this time, Nanny Song charged over regardless of anything and blocked the sword in front of her. That masked man’s sword cut down. Following that, Nanny Song’s back was split open, blood immediately splashed, gushing out. Nanny Song screamed, then was no longer stand and wobbled to the ground.

Inside her mind, a bomb seemed to have exploded.

Luo Qing Luan watched stupefied as Nanny Song fell in front of her. Although blood also splashed on her body, she didn’t care about it at all and only cried out miserably, “Wet Nurse——”

“Quit yelling, loathsome girl, go die!” The masked man exclaimed chillingly as his sinister gaze turned towards her and the bloodstained sword in his hand slashed down…
