Chapter 12 — The Queen Mother Repays Gratitude - In This Life I Will Not Be Afraid of Confrontation

CONTINUE PART 3

"Invite troops into the casket, capture the tortoise in the jar."

His hands tightened. An unprecedented light flared in his eyes. The night was very deep. Tinh An Biet Vien, my bedroom. Outside the window, the moonlight is as cold as water. In the room, candlelight was bright. I sat at the table, with a map of Hoan Y Department spread out in front of me. I'm waiting. Waiting for a fish. One of the most difficult fish to catch in the world. The sound of the drums at the hour of the Rat has just ended. An almost imperceptible breeze blew in from the slightly open window. The candle flickered slightly. I didn't raise my head, just spoke faintly.

"It's already here, why do we have to hide our heads and show our tails?"

"With your title of 'Dao Saint', you certainly wouldn't want to be the kind of person who climbs a beam and steals."

In the room, there was silence. Only the sound of burning candles made a very small crackling sound. Through ten full breaths. A male voice carrying some teasing, some laziness came from the rafters.

"Somewhat interesting."

"Girl, how did you find out about me?"

Along with words. A white figure, like a feather, silently fell in front of me. He is very tall, with a slim body. A white robe that is not contaminated by dust. On his face was a silver mask, revealing only his eyes and a handsome chin. Those eyes were incredibly bright. Like the brightest star in the night. Full of style, indomitableness, and a bit of tragedy, he has seen through the world. He is Bach Ngoc Duong. A person who lives in legends. I put down my pen, raised my head, calmly looked straight at him.

"I didn't spot you."

"I was just waiting for you."

Bach Ngoc Duong heard that and smiled slightly.

"In the capital, people who want to wait for Bach Mo can line up from the East City to the West City."

"Of those, the person who wants to take my life accounts for nine parts."

"Girl, what type are you?"

His voice is very easy to listen to, carrying a deep, magnetic husk. But I know, underneath that careless appearance, is a vigilance like a wild animal. As long as I show half of my hostility. The next second, there will be another cold blade on my neck.

"I'm not the one who wants to take your life."

"I'm the one who wants to give you a chance... to take Wei Jin's life."

The smile in Bach Ngoc Duong's eyes immediately froze. The eyes behind the mask became sharp like an eagle's. The surrounding air also seemed to lower somewhat.

"Who are you?"

He asked slowly, without any of the laziness from before in his voice.

"Who I am, doesn't matter."

We learn from Tham Uyen's voice.

"The important thing is, I know what you want."

"Three years ago, you visited the royal palace at night and stole from the inner treasury the 'Nine Dragon Pill' given to you by the emperor. That incident shocked the world."

"But no one knows, what you really want to steal is the list hidden in the secret compartment of the 'Kine Dragon Ball'."

“A list recording all the secret agents that Wei Tien placed in the army.”

"Unfortunately, you failed."

"You only got the cup, but the list was taken one step ahead by Wei Tien, and even more so, spreading a net for you."

"That night, although you were lucky to escape, you were also seriously injured. The three most powerful brothers under your command all died under Dong Xuan's sword."

“In the past three years, this hatred is as deep as a sea of blood, there has never been a moment where you didn't want it newspaper."

“I said, is that true?”

Every sentence I say is like a heavy hammer blow, fiercely hitting Bach Ngoc Duong's heart. He was wearing a mask, we couldn't see his expression. But I saw the hand hidden in his sleeve, clenched into a fist. The knuckles were slightly white due to the force used. The room fell into a death-like silence. The bone-chilling murderous aura spread from his body to all four directions. We can even feel the darkness of death covering our entire body. But we cannot retreat. We have to bet. Bet that in his heart, the weight of hatred is greater than the killing intent for me. A long time later. The murderous aura that almost made me suffocate gradually dissipated.

“You investigated me.”

Bach Ngoc Duong's voice was cold as ice.

“I don't need to investigate.”

I met his eyes straight.

“Because we have a common enemy.”

“Wei Jin.”

Bach Ngoc Duong didn't say anything, just looked at me quietly. He is judging, considering.

“On what basis do you think you can help me?” he asked coldly.

“Based on me knowing where that list is now.”

Bach Ngoc Duong's body shook strongly.

“Far to the horizon, close to the eyes.”

I used my fingertips to gently tap the map on the table.

“Hoan Y Department.”

“Wei Tien hid it at the bottom of a shallow well located in the deepest part of Hoan Y Department.”

"Locked in a specially made mysterious iron box, outside there are twelve of the most elite Dong Xuong mandarins under his command guarding day and night."

“Not only that, he also arranged seventy-two floors of structures around the mouth of the well.”

"Anyone just needs to get close, the agency will immediately activate, ten thousand arrows will pierce the heart, and the body will be gone."

Bach Ngoc Duong stared at me.

“Do you even know this?”

“I already told you.”

“What I know is much more than you think.”
