C30 (2/2)

It wasn't a dancer.

Zhou Leping's attention was not on it, he was staring at the table, in a daze.

The maids that were coming in to serve the dishes came up one by one and left one after another. The dancing lady stared fixedly at Zhou Leping and got closer and closer to her.

As he got closer, his hand had already touched the dagger.

Zhu Guanliang suddenly stood up and walked towards Zhou Leping with his wine cup raised. With the distance of two steps, he was just in time to see the dancer pull out a dagger and stab towards Zhou Leping.

A shadow fell before his eyes and Zhou Leping raised his head to see Zhu Guanliang.

”General, there's a thorn …” Before he could finish, his knees gave way and he fell to his knees in her arms. Behind him was a dagger, and blood gradually dyed his white clothes red.

The dancers were startled and released their hands. Their expressions became panicked as they met eyes with Zhou Leping.

The music stopped, there was a moment of silence in the air, following that, the dancer took out her hairpin and thrusted towards Zhou Leping.

Zhou Leping placed Zhu Guanliang on the ground, kicked him away, then raised him up by the collar. He twisted her wrist and took the hairpin from her hand and stabbed it into her shoulder: Xianyuer?

The woman screamed and spat in her face, ”Pui!” ”Bastard!”

”Dogman?” She smiled sinisterly as she exerted her strength, causing the hairpin to almost sink completely into her hair. ”You're the ones who repeatedly invaded my city's borders, failing to live your own lives and still insist on coming here to seek death. You even call me a dog thief?”

”You are the one who killed our General Ji Xin!”

”I killed him. Not only do I want to kill him, I also want to kill the king who was running away with his tail between his legs.”

”In your dreams! Zhou Leping, from today onwards, you better open your eyes at night. If you close your eyes, you might not be able to open them one day! ”

”You won't see that day anyway.”

Her actions were quick and efficient. She pinched the neck and twisted it. With a ”kacha” sound, the female dancer's head tilted to the side, and she immediately stopped breathing.

After Zhao Deng shouted ”someone come”, he pointed behind Zhou Leping and roared, ”Be careful!”

Zhou Leping turned around and the one who attacked her from the back was the Zither Master who was holding the zither in his hand.

The zither was obtained by Zhao Deng after several rounds, spending five thousand silver taels. Now, it was used by the zither master as a weapon to be smashed towards Zhou Leping, he held out his weak little heart and begged Zhou Leping to show mercy, but in the end, with a ”crack”, the zither was split into two, and his heart was broken along with it.

The zither master also fell to the ground, but he quickly crawled back up, holding his chest, he glanced at the dancing lady's corpse, letting out an extremely painful howl, his expression sinister as he stared at Zhou Leping, ”As expected, the person who killed Ji Shen in one shot, the Chief General is indeed well-deserved of its name.”

”Don't mess with me, your king sent you here. Tell me honestly where your king is right now. Once I know what's going on, maybe I can spare your life.”

The zither master laughed and took out a round copper ball from his bosom. Zhao Deng curiously wanted to go up and take a look, but he was shocked when he saw Zhou Leping pushing him and shouting, ”Lie down!”

He then looked at Zhu Guanliang who was lying on the ground at the side. Gritting his teeth, he rushed forward to protect her without any hesitation.
