Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 313 Slapping the Face of the Treacherous Regent 8

The faint clanging of metal chains came from afar, and Leng Yuexing, who was getting some fresh air outside the study, turned cold.

Although he didn't sense any killing intent, he could feel a change in the "qi" around him.

He knew there must be an assassin lurking nearby, but he didn't know whether the assassin wanted to kill him or Shangguan Jingzhi in the study.

In order to prevent the assassin from affecting Shangguan Jingzhi, Leng Yuexing decided to take the initiative.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the surrounding guards, Leng Yuexing leaped onto the roof and then ran towards the direction from which the sound came.

On the rooftop next to him, Leng Yuexing saw the assassin running towards him.

It was a masked man dressed in black, with silver metal chains hanging from his ears; the voice came from the metal chains.

Wuming attacked Leng Yuexing ruthlessly, with each move a deadly strike, but Leng Yuexing didn't sense even the slightest bit of killing intent from Wuming.

"Who are you?" Leng Yuexing asked, while nimbly dismantling Wuming's moves.

Faced with Leng Yuexing's questioning, Wuming remained silent, only continuously brandishing his weapon, his attacks becoming increasingly fierce, as if he was determined to kill Leng Yuexing.

“I know even if you don’t say it. It must have been the Left Prime Minister who sent you. It’s not hard to guess at all,” Leng Yuexing said, blocking Wuming’s attack.

The nameless attack paused for a moment, and Leng Yuexing noticed it, knowing that his guess was correct.

Now that she knew Wuming's background, Leng Yuexing stopped trying to counter his moves and instead jumped up and subdued him instantly.

After dislocating his jaw to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide, Leng Yuexing handed him over to the waiting guards.

News spreads quickly in the palace. The official documents for Leng Yuexing will not be given until tomorrow, but the guards have already received the news tonight.

The captain of the guards respectfully took the nameless man from Leng Yuexing's hands. "Lord Leng, what should we do with this man in black?"

Leng Yuexing looked at him thoughtfully; it was too dark at night, and he hadn't seen clearly just now.

At this moment, surrounded by firelight, Leng Yuexing finally noticed the abnormality in Wuming's eyes.

The eyes of ordinary people always reveal a variety of emotions, but the eyes of the nameless are empty.

It wasn't indifference, nor was it detachment; it was utter emptiness.

He was like a killing machine, seemingly devoid of human emotions.

“His eyes…” Leng Yuexing couldn’t help but say.

“Lord Leng, you may not know this, but these are assassins specially trained by nobles.”

“From a young age, erase their awareness of being human, raise them like tools, and turn them into weapons for killing.” A guard standing behind the commander of the guards said respectfully to Leng Yuexing.

Leng Yuexing turned her head and glanced at him, giving him a slight nod.

He then instantly drew the long sword from the guard captain and slashed the blade at the nameless man's neck.

"Lord Leng?" the guard captain asked in surprise.

“Since he no longer has human consciousness, living him is cruel... It would be better for him to be reincarnated sooner and have a new life,” Leng Yuexing said, looking at the lifeless Wuming.

After wiping the blood off the blade, Leng Yuexing put the knife back into the scabbard hanging on the guard commander's body.

"Give him a proper burial," Leng Yuexing said softly, then turned and walked towards the study.

Leng Yuexing's back view was aloof and resolute, without any hesitation or lingering.

The commander of the guards was stunned by Leng Yuexing's series of actions and stood there for a long time before he finally ordered the guards behind him to drag the man in black away.

"She's a tough one too," the guard commander said, glancing at Leng Yuexing one last time.

Looking at the guards standing beside him, the guard captain patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Little Chen, are you still planning to follow Lord Leng?"

Chen An, who was called Xiao Chen, lowered his head and said, "I come from a commoner background, and it is my honor to be able to follow Lord Leng."

After Chen An finished speaking, the guard commander, who was also from a commoner background, said with feeling, "That's good. Most of the guards in the imperial city are sons of officials and nobles, and it is extremely difficult for them to get promoted. If you go to Lord Leng's place, you will surely have a better future."

"only……"

"Alone? What?" Chen An asked, puzzled.

"Lord Leng is, after all, a former eunuch. You don't mind?" the guard captain asked, frowning.

"So what if he's a eunuch? He's Leng Yuexing, the only son of the former Right Chancellor!" Chen An retorted in a low voice.

Seeing that Chen An didn't mind Leng Yuexing's identity at all, the captain of the guards smiled and shook his head, "Alright, since you've made up your mind, I will definitely recommend you to Lord Leng tomorrow!"

"Thank you very much, sir!" Chen An replied excitedly.

Leng Yuexing returned to her study and ran into Shangguan Jingzhi, who was about to leave.

"Are you injured?" Shangguan Jingzhi asked worriedly.

Leng Yuexing shook her head and smiled, "Since His Majesty has appointed me as the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he should know that I have the ability to be the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"If you can't even handle a mere assassin, wouldn't you lose face?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jingzhi pulled Leng Yuexing into his arms, holding her tightly as if she were a lost treasure that had been found again. "Nothing else matters, I just want you to be safe!"

Shangguan Jingzhi's eyes were deep and as black as ink as he stared intently at Leng Yuexing.

Just now, when he learned that Leng Yuexing was confronting the assassin, he was filled with endless panic.

He was worried that Leng Yuexing would get hurt, and even more afraid that something bad would happen to him.

At that moment, he finally understood his feelings for Leng Yuexing; it was not just ordinary affection, but a deep and soul-deep love.

Thinking back to his previous promise to make Leng Yuexing a concubine, he wished he could go back to that time and shut his mouth.

How could a concubine be worthy of Leng Yuexing? In his view, even if a title were to be bestowed, it should be Leng Yuexing as his one and only empress.

However, he also knew that even if he wanted to make Leng Yuexing his empress, she would absolutely not agree.

Now, Leng Yuexing's heart is filled only with revenge.

Therefore, he would become the sharp blade in his hand, helping him to avenge his grievances.

Shangguan Jingzhi believed that when the day came for revenge and peace was restored, Leng Yuexing would agree.

These thoughts flashed through his mind. Shangguan Jingzhi picked Leng Yuexing up and carried her in his arms before heading towards the dark room behind the study.

The dark room led directly to his bedroom, and he carried Leng Yuexing step by step toward it.

The endless panic from before transformed into endless lust upon seeing Leng Yuexing.

He desperately wanted to possess Leng Yuexing!

This time, even if Leng Yuexing resists, he will absolutely not let him go!

The increasingly rapid heartbeat of Shangguan Jingzhi reached Leng Yuexing's ears.

Leng Yuexing also noticed the increasingly strong aura of desire emanating from him.

Having traversed many small worlds, Leng Yuexing knew what would happen next.

He leaned lazily against Shangguan Jingzhi's chest, showing no sign of resistance.
