Chapter 977: Actually, I Already Dug a Tunnel

One aimed his arrow at her. The arrowhead flashed with dark light. This type of crossbow had extremely strong destructive power and the end of the arrow was even barbed, so when it was pulled out, it’d take a large chunk of flesh with it.

Ning Shu’s entire body tensed and she kept a close eye on the arrow as she said coldly, “I didn’t betray Master.”

“I trust my own intuition. Even if you didn’t betray Master, I still can’t leave you alive.” One shot towards Ning Shu’s head.

Ning Shu revolved her energy and dodged the arrow. “Give me a reason why you need to kill me.”

One said coldly, “Currently, you don’t look like a death soldier at all. You can’t live.”

Ning Shu was stunned for a moment. What kind of reason was this? She saw that One was aiming another arrow at her and several death soldiers were also moving towards her.

She hastily revolved her energy to run out of the temple and quickly disappeared from sight. She was pretty pleased about this. She was now much stronger than before. At the very least, she had been able to escape from this many people.

After running for a long while, she stopped and stomped on a tree trunk to scale a tree. She glanced back and found that no one was chasing her. She patted her chest in relief. Lord, why did it feel like the entire world was filled with enemies?

Xuan Xiaotian wanted to kill her, and now Xuan Hongyu’s death soldiers wanted to kill her too. One said that she no longer seemed like a death soldier. Ning Shu patted her mouth, it’s all this thing’s fault for talking too much.

Death soldiers didn’t have their own thoughts. They only had to unswervingly carry out their masters’ commands. In the end, she and Eleven weren’t the same type of people. She hadn’t gone through a death soldier’s training so her mental state was completely different. Furthermore, she and Eleven weren’t the same person so she’d naturally exhibit small differences in her actions.

Sometimes it wasn’t possible to change some of a person’s little subconscious reactions.

Since they wanted to try this rescue attempt, then they should. Going to rescue someone with such great fanfare like this was no different than sending themselves towards death. There was no meaning in it at all.

Ning Shu was only willing to go rescue the person on the premise that her own life wasn’t threatened.

She didn’t directly enter the city and just sat on the tree branch to train. She only returned once day came.

The moment she got to the city gates, she was stunned. A row of corpses was now hanging at the city walls neatly. There was even the sound of guards beating drums as they shouted, “These rebels tried to assassinate His Majesty! As a warning to others, His Majesty will be hanging these rebels’ corpses for a month!”

Ning Shu saw One’s corpse. A rope was tied around his neck and his body hung from that rope, causing his neck to stretch. His face was tilted up slightly. A scar stretched across the length of his face, causing it to look very sinister and filled with unwillingness.

The person that had been holding a crossbow to kill her earlier now had his corpse hung here. This was the society where imperial power was absolute and life was viewed as grass.

The entire group had probably been wiped out. Ning Shu only glanced at the wall briefly before retrieving her gaze and entering the city.

Wonder how the current Xuan Hongyu was doing? Did he know that so many death soldiers had died to save him?

However, even if he did know, he probably wouldn’t care.

Ning Shu entered the city to get some information about the imperial palace, but the information that was currently going around were all about last night’s assassination. There wasn’t anything about Xuan Hongyu.

She had originally wanted to return to the third prince’s residence, but people were guarding the surroundings, probably waiting for her to fall into the trap.

She turned and left. She went to a very ordinary commoner’s house and pushed open the creaky door. A thick pile of dust crashed down. The entire house was very much in ruins and there were dust and spider webs all over.

Ning Shu walked straight into the basement. There was the sound of people speaking inside. The two sides of the wall were dimly lit with oil lamps. Ning Shu walked over and asked one of the people, “How far have you guys dug?”

A man that was about forty said, “We’ve already reached the Martial Stage Palace. We’ll reach Changle Palace very soon. You also know that it’s not easy to dig in the palace, if we’re not careful we’ll hit a pond.”

Ning Shu’s brows furrowed. “Can you go a little faster? It’s too slow. Wages aren’t a problem.” As she spoke, she pulled out two chains of gold.

“Alright, I’ll have the guys speed up. We should be able to reach Changle Palace by tonight.” The man weighed the gold in his hand with a happy smile.

The air in the basement was bad, so she waited outside. These people that she had found were tomb raiders, so they were very skilled in digging tunnels. She had been planning this ever since she first stepped into the capital.

Originally, she had been planning to tell One about the fact that there was a tunnel, but One had wanted to directly kill her.

Ning Shu thought about things a bit, then left the courtyard. When she came back, she was carrying a heavy sack on her shoulder.

Around midnight, the tunnel finally reached Changle Palace. Ning Shu was delighted when she heard. They finally got there!

This tunneling method was actually something that she had learned from the School Doctor Uncle. The School Doctor Uncle had made a tunnel between his office at school and his lab, so she also put it into practice.
