Chapter 74 The End (Part )

On the other side, Yu Feng led the assassins into the Governor's Mansion and encountered a truly powerful ambush.

The archers who had disappeared by the courtyard wall earlier reappeared on both sides of the second hall, and a rain of arrows stopped the killers' attacks.

The group of killers led by Yu Feng were relatively the most elite. With a big boss supporting them, they had to fight desperately with the imperial guards.

Although the assassins had the advantage in numbers, the imperial guards were the elite among the elite. Although they were at a disadvantage, they did not panic at all. They formed a tight defensive formation and blocked the enemy outside the second hall.

A moment later, Qiao Tai received Di Chun's signal and led the reinforcements out of the ambushed houses and rushed towards the Governor's Mansion.

They had been ready to go for a long time, and now they were like a tiger descending from the mountain, sweeping over like a violent storm in an instant.

The situation in the Governor's Mansion thus underwent a subtle change. The assassins, who were originally in a stalemate with the imperial guards outside the second hall, began to panic in the face of the sudden attack by Qiao Tai and others.

Seeing that the enemy's formation was in disarray, Di Chun wielded his sword to kill several enemies in front of him and shouted, "Reinforcements are here, kill them!"

After hearing Di Chun's command, the guards became even more excited and actually pushed the killers back.

The killers were attacked from both sides, and Yu Feng was very anxious. He knew that if they couldn't keep their footing at this moment, all of their troops would probably be wiped out.

Yu Feng took a deep breath, shouted loudly, and moved across the battlefield like a ghost, and many guards were killed.

"Brothers, Di Renjie is just ahead. We can only survive if we catch him! Charge forward!"

Under his leadership, the killers, who were originally in some confusion, began to regroup and rushed forward desperately.

But at this time, Zhao Ji had already led his team to the battlefield through the back door.

When the guards saw reinforcements arriving, their morale was boosted. Yu Feng's offensive immediately failed and the killers were forced to flee.

Yu Feng let out a wild roar, and with a flash of cold light, he chopped down several fleeing men in black.

The killers had no choice but to charge deeper into the Governor's Mansion.

Looking at Yu Feng fighting in the crowd, Zhao Ji flew up.

The several black-clad assassins who were blocking Yu Feng were immediately dismembered by Zhao Ji, and his sword pointed directly at Yu Feng.

Yu Feng swung his sword to block and fought with Zhao Ji.

The fight between the two was extremely fierce. Amid the dense sword shadows, every collision made a deafening sound.

The battle situation in the Governor's Mansion became increasingly chaotic, but the duel between the two seemed to be a world of its own, and the sounds of fighting and shouting around them seemed to be isolated.

The battle lasted for a long time. After all, Yu Feng had been fighting for half a day and gradually felt exhausted.

He knew that if he continued like this, he would surely die, so he took a deep breath and prepared to launch the final attack.

Yu Feng flashed and suddenly disappeared from the spot, then appeared behind Zhao Ji and stabbed him fiercely with a sword.

Zhao Ji seemed to have anticipated this. He turned around and stabbed Yu Feng's throat with his sword in an instant.

Yu Feng was horrified and quickly waved his sword to block.

However, Zhao Ji's long sword was like a swimming dragon, instantly bypassing his sword and piercing his heart.

Yu Feng only had time to let out a scream before Zhao Ji's sword pierced his body. He stared with his eyes wide open, unable to believe that he had been defeated.

With Yu Feng's fall, the group was leaderless and the killers around him also lost their fighting spirit.

Thus, under the siege of Zhao Ji and his guards, the killers surrendered or were beheaded one after another, and the battle in the Governor's Mansion finally came to an end.

Zhao Ji deliberately slowed down his movements, waiting for movement from Di Renjie.
-
In the main hall, Li Qingxia's face was pale. Knowing that she had lost, she slumped down on the chair. Di Renjie placed a cup of poisoned wine on the table and said coldly: "A cup of poisoned wine. In order not to implicate your father and brother, end your life by yourself."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingxia suddenly raised her head, a crazy arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she burst into hysterical laughter.

"Hahahahaha..."

She struggled to stand up, staggered to the table, and pretended to pick up the glass of poisoned wine.

However, just when everyone thought she was about to drink the poisoned wine, she actually pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and intended to assassinate Di Renjie.

Li Yuanfang had been closely watching Li Qingxia's movements. Just as he was about to stand up to rescue her, a figure suddenly appeared like a ghost and stood in front of Di Renjie - it was Hu Jinghui.

The dagger pierced Hu Jinghui's abdomen without any deviation, and the blood instantly dyed his clothes red.

"You...you didn't help me, but helped them instead!!"

When Li Qingxia saw that her lover betrayed her and protected the enemy, she collapsed immediately and screamed and wanted to stab Hu Jinghui a few more times.

Li Yuanfang was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he knocked Li Qingxia away with one punch. She fell heavily to the ground, losing the strength to resist.

Hu Jinghui was also stabbed by the knife, bleeding profusely, and fell to the ground powerlessly.

"Jinghui, how are you?" Di Renjie quickly squatted down and hugged Hu Jinghui, asking with concern.

Hu Jinghui forced a smile: "Sir, you know, in fact, I have always regarded you as my father. I will never allow anyone to hurt you, not even the lover I once loved deeply."

He paused, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, "I was wrong, very wrong. We have done so many evil things for our own selfish desires, and now it's time for retribution."

Hu Jinghui was obviously somewhat disheartened and came here with the determination to die.

"Jinghui, don't say that." Di Renjie carefully checked Hu Jinghui's injuries and breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, there is no injury to the vital parts, save some energy..."

At this time, Li Qingxia slowly recovered some strength on the ground, struggled to get up, and continued to curse.

Di Renjie turned his head and said, "Yuan Fang, tell her to shut up!"

Li Yuanfang was about to step forward, but Li Qingxia suddenly stopped him, saying, "You don't have to do anything!"

She struggled to the table, grabbed a wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The wine glass fell to the ground and shattered, while Li Qingxia let out a crazy laugh.

Suddenly, her body began to twitch violently, blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, and finally she fell heavily to the ground.
-
Zhao Ji finally arrived and walked into the lobby, only Di Renjie was standing alone in the empty hall, while Li Yuanfang was nowhere to be seen.

Li Qingxia's body slumped beside the table, and there was a pool of blood on the ground.

Zhao Ji was confused by the situation in the house: "Sir, what's going on? Why is there blood on the ground? Where is Yuan Fang?"

Di Renjie explained the situation to Zhao Ji one by one: "The princess committed suicide by taking poison. Jinghui blocked the knife to save me. Yuanfang took him down to treat him."

Zhao Ji looked around and gradually understood the whole story based on Di Renjie's narration.

Di Renjie asked, "What's the situation in the city?"

Zhao Ji bowed and reported: "Your Excellency, the rebels in various places in the city have now been annihilated, and Yu Feng in the governor's office surrendered."

Di Renjie nodded, then closed his eyes and sighed: "It's finally over."
