Chapter 20 — Once I am reborn, I will not give him even a strand of hair

I already had a silver needle in my hand and immediately stabbed it straight into the back of his hand. Cong Hoa's arm was numb, but the notebook was snatched from his waist by the old lady. She quickly opened the map, but the smile on her face only lasted for a moment. The pages inside were completely empty. What I really take away is the map at the top. In that yellowed book, there were no records, and there was no forbidden medicine. The old lady suddenly raised her head.

“Where are the things?”

"My father was on guard against the Co family. How could he put the evidence in a place where you can easily find it?"

We look at the concave groove in the middle of the stone pedestal.

“The books you've been looking for for seven years... are still right under these iron cages.”

The old lady reflexively lowered her head and looked down. I lifted my foot and kicked hard on the bronze button at the foot of the stone pedestal. The entire high platform thundered down, the bricks and stones from the middle split into two sides. Hundreds of copper leaves engraved with people's names and figures simultaneously turned up from underground, under the gloomy light, forming a giant bronze wall. The Emperor's name is clearly engraved on the first row. The old gods in the iron cages simultaneously raised their heads. The emperor suddenly drew his long sword.

“Don't let anyone in here get out alive.”

The crossbow strings vibrated simultaneously. Co Nghien Hanh pushed me down from the high platform, standing alone in front of the dense rain of arrows. The arrows continuously collided with the long sword in Co Nghien Hanh's hand, sparking countless blinding sparks. He was no longer able to use his internal energy, his shoulders and waist were seriously injured, and his swinging speed became slower and slower. The third arrow pierced straight through his left shoulder, pinning him to the edge of the stone platform. After falling to the ground, I rolled between the iron cages, raised my hand and grabbed the old belt hanging on the wall. Behind the belt hides a small rope. I used a strong pull, and the already opened iron cages immediately moved, forming an iron wall in front of the high platform. All the remaining arrows were stuck firmly in the iron bars.

“Take those who can still walk to the eastern stone door!”

I helped the nearest old man stand up and stuffed a packet of tranquilizers into his hand.

“Share with others to take under the tongue.”

The old god recognized me, his cloudy eyes immediately turned red.

“Are you Khuong Nghien Chi's daughter?”

“That year, the military salary records were all checked by us and our superiors.”

The old man tightened his grip on the medicine packet.

“As long as we can live out, we can all bear witness to the Khuong family.”

On the stone platform, the Emperor swung his sword and slashed towards Co Nghien Hanh's neck. Co Nghien Hanh leaned to avoid it, conveniently pulled out the arrow from his shoulder, and stabbed it straight into the Emperor's wrist holding the sword. Cong Cong Cong shook the bronze bell, and several old gods who had just stepped out of the iron cage fell down simultaneously. I grabbed the longbow from the ground and placed the silver needle on the bowstring. After a vibrating sound of the bowstring, the silver needle pierced the bronze bell, pinning the bell's tongue inside. Before Hoa Cong Cong had time to throw the bell away, Co Nghien Hanh swung a knife and passed through his wrist. The bronze bell fell to the ground. However, the old lady grabbed the dark red medicine bottle and hurriedly Run towards the bronze wall.

“This book cannot be left alive.”

She pulled out the stopper from the flask and sprinkled the medicine onto copper leaves engraved with people's names. As soon as the medicine touched the copper surface, it made sizzling sounds as if it was being corroded. I passed through the gap between the iron bars, threw a palm strike and knocked the medicine bottle away. The remaining medicine splashed onto the back of the old lady's hand. Blue-black veins of blood immediately crawled up her arm. The old lady stepped back in panic.

“Where is the antidote?”

“When you used your own son to test the medicine, why didn't you prepare an antidote for him?”

I looked at her coldly. The old lady suddenly grabbed my sleeve.

“I remember everything from my previous life.”

“I can tell you why Co Nghiem Hanh locked you in the villa.”

Little by little I removed her fingers.

“Whatever the reason, he really did it.”

“I don't need to find a reason to justify him from my previous life.”

Hearing those words, Co Nghien Hanh's hand holding the knife trembled slightly. The old lady hastily continued:

“He thought I had participated in the Khuong family's revenge plan.”

"Tong Uyen Nhu came with a fake letter, saying that she only saved him to control the military power of the North."

“I told him to lock you up, and I also ordered someone to put medicine in your medicine tray.”
