The two of them stared at each other, one with a look of terror on his face, the other with a look of sinister bloodlust.
At first, Liu was confused, but slowly she saw something in those eyes, and then she suddenly realized: "You are Jiang Hailing, you are actually Jiang Hailing, I didn't expect you to come back like a ghost."
Not only did she return, but she also became so beautiful, even more beautiful than her Xue'er. Her Xue'er was dead, but this woman was alive and well. Not only was she alive and well, but she was also pregnant. When Liu thought of this, she couldn't help but bite her lower lip and glare fiercely at Hai Ling. Today, she had fallen into their hands, and it was impossible for her not to die. So Liu had no hope of living, but she was filled with hatred and couldn't help but curse.
"Jiang Hailing, you bitch! I should have gotten rid of you when you were still young. I never thought I would leave such a menace alive."
As soon as Liu scolded Hailing, several people in the room became angry. Hailing didn't even need to lift a finger; Ji Shaocheng took the initiative and slapped Liu several times hard across the face. Her face immediately swelled up, burning with pain, and her head was buzzing. She felt unsteady and couldn't react for a long time.
Ji Shaocheng coldly retorted angrily, "Open your dog eyes and look! This isn't the Jiang family's daughter, but my sister. You killed the Jiang family's daughter long ago. My sister was just taken in and raised by Du Caiyue, you damned poisonous woman."
Ji Shaocheng's scolding brought Liu Shi to her senses. She realized that the woman in front of her was not Du Caiyue's biological daughter at all. She had been taken in and raised by Du Caiyue. Thinking this, she dared not curse anymore. She glared fiercely at everyone in the room. She knew perfectly well what these people wanted to do with her. The thought filled her with desolation. Although Jiang Batian was her husband and she had borne him two children, her eldest son and daughter, what did it matter? He was a selfish man. He didn't care about the lives of others except himself. Even his son and daughter were probably not as important as himself, let alone her.
Thinking this through, Liu laughed bitterly.
"Kill me if you want, but don't expect to get anything from me. I know nothing about Jiang Batian, and nobody knows anything about him."
“We know you don’t know anything about Jiang Batian, so we don’t intend to get anything about him from you. We have other uses for capturing you.”
Hai Ling spoke coldly, looking at Liu Shi's face, which was swollen to the sky, and her hand, which she had almost crushed. She finally felt a little better. Although she was still not satisfied, at least she felt much better after waiting all night. If Liu Shi hadn't been useful, she would have dealt with her without hesitation long ago. Why keep her around?
"Take her away and lock her up."
"Yes," Shi Zhu and the others came over, grabbed Liu Shi's body and dragged her out without any sympathy. Everyone knew that this Liu woman was no good. She had even dared to curse the Empress earlier, so they didn't need to be polite to her. Liu Shi was dragged along, her face and hands aching. In addition, she had been kicked, and there was no part of her body that was unharmed. She couldn't help but scream in pain. When Shi Zhu saw her scream, he grabbed a piece of cloth or something from the side and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Let you scream, let you scream, can you still scream now?" Several men took Liu Shi away and locked her up.
In the main hall, everyone's face was solemn. Now that Liu had been captured, how should they inform Jiang Batian?
Feng Zixiao recalled the information he had previously found out: there were many people in the court who were Jiang Batian's lackeys. As long as the letter was delivered to those people, he believed it would definitely reach Jiang Batian.
“I sent someone to deliver a message to Jiang Batian.”
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out. Feng Zihe followed him out, and then everyone dispersed. It was already very late at night, so they decided to go to sleep first and talk about it tomorrow.
Ye Lingfeng held Hai Ling's hand and said with concern and tenderness, "Let's go. We've caught Liu Shi. You should rest, or the little darling will protest."
Hailin was indeed tired, so she went to rest with Ye Lingfeng.
The next day, Feng Zixiao sent a letter to the ministers in the court. These people were all Jiang Batian's lackeys, so he believed that the letter would definitely reach Jiang Batian's hands.
The letter mentioned that Liu had been arrested. If Jiang Batian did not want Liu to die, he should show up at the mass grave at midnight tonight, otherwise they would kill Liu.
The mass grave was still a place dozens of miles outside the city where no one dared to go. At night, wild wolves and leopards would appear and devour the unclaimed corpses of the executed. A chilling wind blew, and not only at night, but even during the day, few dared to show themselves. Feng Zixiao chose this place because, although it was eerie, it was surrounded by barren hills, making it difficult for people to hide. It would not be easy for Jiang Batian to arrange for someone to ambush and kill them.
In the evening, Feng Zixiao and Feng Zihe led Liu Shi, Shi Zhu, Shi Ju and others to the mass grave. This time, not only Feng Zixiao, but also Ye Lingfeng and Hai Ling and others went. However, they did not go close, but waited ten miles away from the mass grave, and sent people over to check the situation from time to time.
The desolate graveyard was filled with gusts of cold wind and layers of malevolent energy.
Feng Zixiao and the others didn't care, but Liu was so frightened that she gasped and kept shrinking back. If her mouth hadn't been gagged, she would have screamed long ago.
Liu had killed many people in her life, including Jiang Batian's woman and his child. So when she stood in the mass grave, she felt uneasy and thought that many ghosts were coming out from all directions to take her life. This made her so scared that she lost her mind and struggled desperately. When Shizhu and the others saw her moving around, they simply reached out and pressed her pressure points.
Tonight, there is no moon in the sky, only stars. Although the sky is full of stars, the night is very dark. The desolate graveyard is extremely cold and the wind is blowing. However, those who practice martial arts have amazing eyesight and can see clearly within a radius of several meters.
The group waited until 9 PM before seeing a large group of people approaching from the opposite direction. The leader was Jiang Batian, followed by many soldiers. The large group rushed over in a mighty procession. Jiang Batian, the leader, shouted: "Who are you? Release my wife immediately, or I will not spare you. None of you will leave tonight."
Feng Zixiao and the others had their faces covered with black cloth, so the people opposite them couldn't tell who they were, which is why they coldly shouted angrily. The leader gave the order: "Grab them."
Feng Zixiao curled her lips and coldly said, "Jiang Batian, this is your wife. Are you sure you want to arrest us? You don't want her to die, do you?"
The leader hesitated for a moment, then looked at Liu Shi in Feng Zixiao's hands. Liu Shi stared at Jiang Batian with her eyes wide open in horror, shaking her head desperately. Unfortunately, her mouth was gagged and she couldn't speak. Feng Zixiao reached out and removed the white cloth from her mouth, and casually released her pressure points. As soon as Liu Shi relaxed, she screamed continuously.
"Jiang Batian, save me, save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die."
This place is terrifying; she doesn't want to die.
Unfortunately, her scream did not make Jiang Batian hesitate. On the contrary, upon hearing Liu's scream, he seemed to come to his senses and directly ordered, "Kill them all, leave no one alive."
Although Feng Zixiao and the others had anticipated this situation, when the truth came out of Jiang Batian's mouth, they had to admit that Jiang Batian was ruthless and insane, and that he was not someone that ordinary people could compare to. Although the person in front of them was a fake Jiang Batian, it was clear that this person had received his orders to eliminate everyone without leaving anyone alive, including Liu Shi.
Jiang Batian didn't care about Liu's life or death, so why should they care? As Feng Zixiao watched Jiang Batian and the soldiers behind him rush over, she exerted force and pushed Liu directly towards them.
Liu was overjoyed that Feng Zixiao and the others had not killed her, and she headed straight for Jiang Batian.
Unfortunately, before he could even reach Jiang Batian, Jiang Batian's long sword pierced through his chest, ruthless and merciless, without the slightest hesitation.
Liu was stunned, looking down at the sword in front of her chest. She knew Jiang Batian was ruthless and cruel, but he had killed her with a single sword after she had been spared. Why did he do this?
Liu wanted to shout, but a sword pierced her heart, and blood gushed out. She couldn't utter a single word. Her eyes were wide open, and she stared at the endless sky with unseeing eyes as she died.
In the darkness, Jiang Batian ignored everything and led a large group of soldiers to chase after Feng Zixiao and the others. Feng Zixiao and Shizhu met them, but quickly pretended to be outmatched, retreating while standing still, and then pretended to be wounded and fled.
Ten miles away from the mass grave, Ye Lingfeng, Hai Ling, and the others were waiting for news. Soon someone brought the news.
"Reporting to Master, Madam Liu has been killed by Jiang Batian, and now Young Master Feng and the others are following those people into the city."
“Alright,” Hai Ling nodded with a cold smile under the moonlight. She hadn’t expected Jiang Batian to be so heartless. Liu Shi had followed him for over twenty years, yet she had ended up like this. It was because she had killed so many people that this was God’s punishment for her. But all in all, Jiang Batian was truly inhuman.
"Let's go back and wait to see if Feng Zixiao and the others have found Jiang Batian's whereabouts."
After everyone returned, Feng Zixiao and the others soon came back. They did not take any action and went straight back to the garrison camp. As for the fake Jiang Batian, he disappeared after entering the garrison camp. It can be seen that the fake Jiang Batian was actually a brother in the garrison camp in disguise.
Unexpectedly, after all their hard work, they found nothing, leaving everyone disappointed and helpless against Jiang Batian's cunning.
Over the next three days, although everyone tried to find out Jiang Batian's whereabouts, seeing him appear here one day and there the next, no one knew who was the real Jiang Batian and who was the imposter. There were still nine imposters, and they couldn't catch them all. Unless they were certain that Jiang Batian was the real one, they would not act rashly again.
The first time Jiang Batian was arrested, he went on a rampage, conducting a ruthless search and killing many people in the market.
