Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 542: The eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family (64)

The other party didn't move or speak, just stood quietly on the steps.

Zhao Su lowered his eyebrows and immediately drew his bow to aim at the enemy. The muscles in his arms bulged, and his strength seemed to be about to break through the armor on his body, showing the general's pressure.

Containing the power to break through all evil, the bow and arrow shot towards the enemy at a rapid speed.

However, the opponent was faster and with a swing of his sword, he cut off the arrow aimed at her.

Zhao Su looked very solemn, his eyes fixed on the woman in black. He jumped off his horse, drew the golden ceremonial sword given to him by the saint from his waist, and rushed straight towards the enemy.

"How dare you kill the Royal Guards? You're so brave!"

The golden knife stabbed at the opponent, but was quickly dodged by the opponent. Then the opponent swept the sword across, and the sword energy quickly rolled up the cold wind, drawing a cold light, almost cutting Zhao Su's throat.

Zhao Su quickly stepped back, but the opponent did not give him a chance to fight back. His sword turned into a shocking rainbow and pointed directly at his heart.

However, Zhao Su, who had walked out of the pile of dead bodies on the battlefield, was no pushover. He dodged sideways and struck back with a knife -

The long sword swept through the army like waves and snow.

The opponent swung his sword to block, and the collision of swords made a sharp buzzing sound and sparks flew.

Zhao Su felt a slight numbness in his palm and was secretly surprised: What a fast sword technique!

Unexpectedly, the opponent suddenly concentrated his strength and swung his sword to push away, then with his left hand, he took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it towards Zhao Su's throat!

Zhao Su's eyes widened, and he reacted extremely quickly by bending sideways to avoid the fatal move.

The next second, Zhao Su took advantage of the opponent's lack of time to retreat and quickly spun around, using the momentum to swing his sword towards the opponent.

The enemy obviously also had a lot of actual combat experience. As if he had expected him to do this, he jumped into the air with the soles of his boots, stepped lightly on his blade, used the force to jump behind him, and swung his long arms.

Zhao Su dodged quickly, but was still a step too slow. The armor on his waist was cut, and the cut almost pierced the flesh inside.

After a burst of swords and sabers, both of them were unharmed, but only Zhao Su knew that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.

There were so many corpses lying in front of Chengtian Gate, and blood flowed like a river.

Before him, the other side had fought against these well-trained imperial guards.

She defeated so many people by herself, and now she still has the strength to fight him on equal terms - could it be that she is the death warrior that the princess spent millions of gold to raise?

It was obvious that the other party stayed here just to delay him.

Zhao Su looked towards the direction of the palace, and it was obvious that the eldest princess was already inside.

Zhao Su had no intention of fighting any longer, so he quickly jumped on his horse and wanted to rush in.

The other party immediately stepped forward to intercept him, blew a whistle, and caused the horse to raise its front hooves and neigh. Then it leaped into the air and kicked Zhao Su off the horse.

Before Zhao Su could steady himself, the sharp sword shot straight to his heart like an arrow! It was about to pierce his throat.

Marquis Dingbei suddenly dropped his knife, put his palms together and stepped into the sword with his bare hands, clamping his hands tightly around the sword!

Blood dripped from his palm to the ground, looking like blooming red plum blossoms on the white jade steps.

The tip of the sword was against his Adam's apple, just a hair's breadth away from piercing it.

"Who are you!?"

Zhao Su stared at the other person's face, all the muscles in his body were tense, and the protruding bones on the back of his hand made his skin look white. It was obvious that he was holding the sword very tightly.

However, the other party still said nothing and drew back his sword after a few breaths.

Then, under Zhao Su's gaze, she took off her hood and untied the mask on her face.

A snow-white, almost transparent face was revealed.

Zhao Su widened his eyes, and the muscles on his face began to tremble uncontrollably, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

The other party turned out to be Fu Huaiying.

Fu Huaiying casually shook off the blood on the sword. Her action was as familiar as the day when she cut Nanny Chang's neck cleanly and neatly. There was a hint of cruelty under her calmness.

"The people inside have their own games to play. It would be better for Marquis Dingbei to wait here obediently."

Zhao Su simply couldn't believe it, he even felt it was a bit absurd.

"you you--"

"You actually——"

Fu Huaiying said, "After all, I am the daughter of a military minister. Moreover, as a traveling merchant, how can I survive without the ability to protect myself?"

Zhao Su found it funny, and at that moment he even forgot the piercing pain in his palm.

"Do you know what you are doing? You are committing treason!"

As early as when he learned what Zhao Hui was going to do, Zhao Su had completely cut ties with the Princess's Mansion and the Wei family. Even Zhao Ying, who had married into the family, was completely removed from the Marquis' Mansion.

The Dingbei Marquisate has been loyal for generations, swearing to defend their country until death. It is impossible for them to collude with a rebel like Zhao Hui, let alone help Zhao Hui seize power and usurp the throne!

Zhao Su didn't expect that Fu Huaiying was also involved in the opponent's camp!

In fact, she is a very important role in the rebel party!

Only at this moment did Zhao Su truly understand that he had no idea what kind of person his wife, who had been with him for five years, was.

He didn't even know whether she was such an ambitious person from the beginning, or whether the colorful world outside had completely changed her after the divorce.

"You are crazy..."

Zhao Su really never expected that one day he and Fu Huaiying would stand opposite each other in this way.

A few months ago, she saved his life, but now she was pointing her knife at his vital points, as if she wanted to take back the kindness she had shown him.

In fact, such agility and deadly swordsmanship are simply not something an ordinary girl can possess.

But the person in front of me was definitely Fu Huaiying!

In the end, thousands of words turned into a question.

"You colluded with the eldest princess to usurp the throne. What's the difference between you and those treacherous ministers and villains?!"

Fu Huaiying said calmly, "The difference is—they kneel down to beg for wealth and honor, while I stand to change the world."

It would be hypocritical to say that you are not doing it for yourself.

She helped Zhao Hui ascend the throne, so the ruler of the world became her biggest backer, so she had no worries about not being able to gain a foothold in the capital.

But since she has such an opportunity, she wants to do her part for the people of the world rather than for herself.

After all, she was a person who had truly lived in this feudal era. She was an insignificant pawn in the hands of those in power and was forced to do many dirty things.

She hid in the homes of powerful officials, collecting secret reports while witnessing extravagant singing and dancing banquets; she also found out how corrupt officials, who were filthy rich, gathered together to plot and plunder the people's wealth.

I have also seen the starving people in Hedong who exchanged their children for food; I know that the tax grain in the north will freeze into ice blocks; I know that there are pale, thin and lifeless faces when there is no harvest.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

"Marquis Dingbei, when you pacify the borders, are you doing it for the sake of the saints' mountains and rivers, or for the people's country?"

Zhao Su frowned: "What's the difference? The sage is the master of the world, and the people's country is the sage's mountains and rivers!"

Fu Huaiying asked in return, "The current emperor is of mediocre talent, and his ability to sit firmly on the throne is entirely due to the assistance of the eldest princess. If the eldest princess loses power in the future, treacherous ministers take power, and the emperor believes in slander, what will you do?"

"Will you persevere to defend the land, or will you remain a loyal subject?"

Zhao Su gritted his teeth and said, "This is just a lie that confuses the people. No need to say more."

"I, Zhao Su, will never, and cannot, betray the Saint!"
