Chapter 232 Empress Dowager Wu
Chapter 232 Empress Dowager Wu
The proprietress was slightly startled and looked up and down at Nangong Yanling, Han Bin and others. Sure enough, she found that the soldiers behind them were all wearing the clothes of the Fuling Army.
He snorted coldly, "No matter what, you can't hinder our business. Don't you know who the boss behind us is?"
Nangong Yanling narrowed his eyes slightly, unsheathed his sword, and pressed it against the proprietress's throat, frightening her and making her tremble. "I don't care who's behind you, but there's a murderer we want to catch in your inn. If you don't get out of the way now, you will be treated as accomplices!"
"You, you...are crazy, you are really crazy!"
The proprietress watched the soldiers of the Fuling Army file in and shouted tremblingly, but it was of no use. The Fuling Army rushed all the way upstairs.
Helplessly, the proprietress had no choice but to squat on the ground obediently under the oppression of Nangong Yanling and others, not daring to move.
Bang bang bang!
Soon, there were bursts of noises and gunshots coming from upstairs. Nangong Yanling did not dare to be careless and rushed up.
But all they saw was a mess on the ground. Han Bin and Ma Sandao pointed at the hole in the roof and said in a deep voice, "Up there!"
above?
Nangong Yanling was slightly stunned. There were no casualties among the Fuling Army soldiers, but they failed to capture Salem Meng, which surprised her.
However, soon, with the sounds of fighting coming from the roof, Nangong Yanling didn't have time to think too much, stepped on Ma Sandao's shoulder, and rushed directly to the roof.
Leaving Ma Sandao looking at the roof in bewilderment, then looking at his shoulder: "Brother, at this distance and this height, how did Miss Nangong get up there? Well, I..."
Han Bin glanced at him speechlessly: "With your little Kung Fu, Miss Nangong can easily beat ten of you!"
At the same time, Canglang and Nangong Yanling on the roof joined forces to besiege Salem Meng. Although Salem Meng was a martial arts master at this time, he was no match for four hands with two fists and was finally defeated.
Salem Meng stared at the two of them with his cold eyes. His hands hidden under the black robe were trembling slightly and were even bleeding. It was obvious that he had just suffered a serious injury.
"You two have a pretty good sense of smell. You were able to find this?"
Nangong Yanling snorted coldly, "Salem Meng, you murdered the entire Xu family with the intention of overthrowing the Wu Dynasty. Today, you are at your wit's end! Surrender now!"
"Haha, surrender? The people of the Liao Dynasty are never as timid as the people of the Wu Dynasty. Even if we die, we will die with dignity!"
After Salem Meng finished speaking, he turned around and was about to jump off the roof.
Nangong Yanling was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He saw what Salengmeng was doing, pulled out his pistol, and shot her in the right leg.
"Oh!"
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, they are not faster than a bullet. Salem Meng screamed and rolled down from the roof, falling to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, and even his consciousness was dizzy.
“Despicable, despicable!”
"Haha, despicable?"
Nangong Yanling jumped down and waved his hand, signaling his soldiers to lock up Salem Meng. Then he slowly walked in front of her and smiled gently: "You are finally in our hands!"
Salem Meng endured the severe pain in his leg, his eyes always revealing a hint of murderous intent: "I know you, Nangong Yanling, from Jiulong Mountain. Haha, you are originally a commoner, and now you dare to act so presumptuously in the temple. You will die a miserable death."
"Oh right, Zhou Chuxuan isn't dead, right? This is all a setup for me, right?"
"Ugh!"
Nangong Yanling sighed, grabbed Salemmeng by the collar, and sneered, "I have to say, you are really a very smart person, but it's a pity that you insist on standing on the opposite side of Wu Chao."
"Back then, we wiped out the Liao army of 600,000. You weren't there. Why didn't you cherish your chance to survive? Why did you have to come back and die?"
Salem Meng chuckled, "Nangong Yanling, hundreds of thousands of Liao people are gone. Among those 600,000, not only young and strong men, but even some old and weak have gone into battle. The survival of the Liao Kingdom has no bearing on me. The Liao Dynasty's accumulation of hundreds of years has been wiped out. How can I have the face to live in this world? I only hope that I can stir up trouble in the Wu Dynasty with my own strength and deal you some damage."
"Strike? Just you?"
Nangong Yanling touched the pistol at his waist: "All beings are equal, Your Highness's name is really well chosen, All beings are equal! Take it away!"
However, just when Nangong Yanling wanted to take people away, a group of palace maids slowly came with a sedan chair, stopped in front of the inn, and a graceful and elegant person got out of it.
But when I looked closely, I found that it was just an old lady whose eyes could hardly open.
Nangong Yanling frowned: "Who are you?"
"Be bold!"
The maidservant beside them shouted sternly, "This is the current Empress Dowager! Why don't you kneel down and pay your respects?"
After she finished speaking, all the palace maids around drew their swords from their waists, and a murderous aura came towards them. Intimidated by this murderous aura, the people on the street retreated back to their houses.
Nangong Yanling frowned as she looked at the nearly dying old lady, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes. She had never heard of such an empress dowager in the court.
Even when the Wu Dynasty was on the verge of destruction, this empress dowager had never appeared. Now, it seemed as if she appeared out of thin air.
Canglang immediately stood beside Nangong Yanling and whispered, "This person is not simple."
Nangong Yanling also became nervous. She could naturally see that the empress dowager was not simple, and the palace maids around her were all top-notch masters.
Although there were only thirty to fifty people, if the Fuling Army did not have the weapons provided by Zhou Chuxuan, all five thousand people would probably have suffered heavy casualties.
The Empress Dowager slowly opened her cloudy eyes, looked at everyone with a burning gaze, and chuckled, "Where did this wild girl come from? How dare she attack my inn?"
Nangong Yanling said in a deep voice, "Empress Dowager, this is the criminal that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to capture. He's a spy from the Liao Kingdom! He was hiding in the inn, and just last night, he massacred the entire Xu family. Shouldn't he be arrested?"
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager didn't even look at Nangong Yanling. She just snorted, "Hmph, where did you come from, you wild girl? You haven't even entered the court, and you don't wear court robes. You are not worthy to speak to me."
"Today, everyone who has entered this inn must stay and give me an explanation!"
"What do you want to do, old man?"
