    old friend

    Knowing what would happen in the Royal Garden after he left, Joey was not in a hurry and just followed the eunuch slowly and leisurely.

    Slowly, the two of them got further and further away from the Royal Garden.

    Looking at the increasingly unfamiliar and remote environment around him, Joey’s eyes turned to the eunuch in front of him, and he stopped walking without following him.

    “Where are you taking me to change clothes?” Joey asked.

    The little eunuch didn’t even look back and replied, “Of course I will take you to where you need to go.”

    Although the palace was very large and Joey was not familiar with all of it, he knew that the little eunuch was not taking him to Quanqing Palace at this time.

    Joey simply stopped and said bluntly: “Where should I go?”

    Hearing the movement behind him, the little eunuch also stopped. He turned around and smiled conspiratorially at Joey, “Of course it’s the Palace of Hell…”

    Joey looked at the evil-looking little eunuch. There was no trace of panic on his face. Instead, he asked calmly: “The Queen Mother asked you to kill me?”

    The eunuch didn’t answer, as if he didn’t want to say a word to Joey and just started.

    Joey didn’t expect Wei Shanlian to be so direct and stopped acting at all. Just because he refused to accept her arrangement and didn’t follow her ideas like a puppet, he just got rid of him.

    The more he thought about Joey, the more funny he felt. Wei Shanlian chose to kill him today, which was too impatient.

    But that’s fine, Joey thought, since it’s something that can’t be avoided, it’s better to deal with it quickly than to plant a bomb around you that could go off at any time.

    Turning sideways to avoid the eunuch’s fist, Joey grabbed the arm stretched out in front of him with his backhand, and then turned around.

    With a “click” sound, the arm turned 180 degrees.

    Joey took a few steps back, looked at the eunuch in front of him who was still full of murderous intent towards him, and moved his wrist.

    In the past ten years, Joey’s life has not been in vain. Not only has he not forgotten the boxing skills he learned in his previous life, he has even integrated the martial arts here, making these things truly his own.

    Thinking that the eunuch must also be from the palace, and was ordered by Wei Shanlian to dare to attack him, so Joey did not kill him just now, but withdrew a little strength.

    I thought that this person would know the pain and would not have the courage to continue, but now it seems that is not the case.

    Looking at the eunuch opposite who didn’t show any pain, but instead looked at him with more sinister and vicious eyes, Joey cautiously took a few steps back. It seemed that this eunuch was not like an ordinary eunuch in the palace.

    Just when Joey was thinking about whether to strike harder, the person on the other side came straight towards him, so fast that Joey almost didn’t react.

    Quickly dodging the man’s blade aimed at his neck, Joey felt a stream of heat flow down his neck.

    Joey was stunned and reached out to touch it.

    Looking at the scarlet red in front of him, Joey felt extremely dazzling at this moment. He hadn’t been injured in many years, and this injury was really ugly.

    Joey knew something was wrong, so he didn’t hesitate anymore and took the cruel move directly.

    Finally, after a blow from Joey, the eunuch fell to the ground.

    Looking at the person lying on the ground, Joey panted slightly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Although it was not a difficult task, this person was obviously trained and his methods were extremely refined. Just dealing with this person had already used up some of his strength.

    Thinking that the people sent by Wei Shanlian to kill him had been dealt with, Joey counted the time and thought that the matter over there was almost done, so he raised his feet and wanted to leave.

    But at this moment, a very familiar voice suddenly appeared behind Joey.

    “After so many years, the young master is really no different from before.”

    Joey turned around, and a figure wearing indigo palace clothes suddenly appeared in his eyes.When Joey saw who the person was, his eyes suddenly shrank, because it was no one else, but the one who had been with Qiao Yunlan before…Mother Wu.

    Looking at Aunt Wu over there, Joey seemed to suddenly understand something and laughed. He asked why Qiao Yunlan and Lou Mengli’s carriage fell off the cliff so easily. Even if Wei Shanlian wanted to attack them, how could she reach such a far distance in Jiangzhou? It turned out to be like this.

    “You killed my mother.” After laughing, Joey said calmly.

    “I am a member of the Empress Dowager, and Miss Yun Lan is also a child raised by the Empress Dowager. How could she betray the Empress Dowager?” As if she knew what Joey was thinking, Aunt Wu said without changing her expression: “Originally, as long as Miss Yun Lan didn’t follow Lou Mengli back,She would not have died in the capital. It was because of you that she chose to return to the capital.If I had known that Miss Yun Lan would value you so much, I should not have brought you to Miss Yun Lan in the first place.Otherwise, you were the one who died ten years ago, not Miss Yun Lan.”

    “Ha!” Listening to these high-sounding words, Joey seemed to have heard some joke, “You are really the same as master and servant.”

    They are all equally shameless, and they are all equally disgusting.

    Nanny Wu seemed too lazy to talk nonsense to Joey. She raised her hand and several masked men in white appeared behind her.

    Joey looked at the familiar costumes of those people and clenched his hands into fists. His mind flashed back to the assassination that Lou Ling encountered during the autumn hunting ten years ago. He couldn’t believe that the assassination that Lou Ling encountered was actually the work of Wei Shanlian.

    Although Lou Ling mentioned the matter of Bingcui Pavilion to Joey, he never connected it with Wei Shanlian.

    Joey laughed. He was laughing at himself for being stupid for never connecting Lou Ling’s assassination and Lou Mengli’s fall from the cliff.Now it seems that Wei Shanlian’s original idea was not just to simply kill Qiao Yunlan and Lou Mengli. She wanted to get rid of everyone who stood in her way.

    “Does it look familiar?” Mother Wu looked at Joey’s stunned look and seemed to have some pity. She explained everything clearly before Joey died, “That’s no wonder. You should have met them. After all, if it weren’t for your obstruction, Lou Ling would have died a long time ago. The Queen Mother didn’t need to wait until she has taken the Lou family into her hands.”

    As she said this, Nanny Wu felt it was a pity, “At first I thought I was just looking for something interesting for Miss Yunlan, but I really didn’t expect that a child raised by a domestic slave would be so smart and really win Miss Yunlan’s heart. That’s fine.He was actually valued by Prince Rong Hua and taken away to be his companion.Sigh… What a mistake. If I hadn’t allowed you to survive, the Empress Dowager’s plan would have been successful, and Miss Yunlan wouldn’t have died.”

    Joey didn’t speak, just looked at Nanny Wu quietly.

    “Look at you, if you left Prince Lin’s Mansion, obediently married the noble daughter of a noble family, and no longer hindered what the Queen Mother wanted to do, why would you have reached this point today.” Aunt Wu looked at Joey and shook her head, as if she felt a little pity.

    Joey: “You think you can kill me here?”

    Listening to Joey’s tone, Nanny Wu only found it funny, “Do you think there is anything that the Queen Mother can’t do in this palace? Do you want to wait for Crown Prince Rong Hua to save you? Don’t think about it. As long as the Queen Mother is still here, you will be the only one here. No one will come.”

    After saying that, Nanny Wu seemed to feel that the time was almost up. She waved to the people behind her to move.

    Joey looked at those people coldly, and instead of avoiding them, he directly faced them.

    Seeing Joey’s actions, Nanny Wu looked surprised, but it was only for a moment. Soon she realized what she was doing, took a few steps back, and let those people fight Joey directly.

    Although most of his physical strength was consumed by the eunuch, Joey could barely fight these people for a few rounds.

    However, they only fought for two rounds. Compared with the assassins holding swords in their hands, Joey, who was unarmed, undoubtedly had no chance of winning.

    “Uh-huh!”

    His back was scratched by the sword again. Joey was exhausted and knelt on the ground.

    Looking at Joey who was surrounded by a circle of long swords pointing at the center, Nanny Wu shook her head helplessly, “Why are you doing this? You are just as stubborn as the young lady. Can’t you just listen to the Queen Mother? Why do you have to risk your own life?”

    Aunt Wu’s words reached Joey’s ears, but Joey just seemed to have heard some joke. He sneered: “Listen to Wei Shanlian? Let her get the power to control the entire Dayong smoothly? And then let the entire Dayong be destroyed in her hands?”

    Aunt Wu: “Why are you so angry? In the end, Dayong was not the Empress Dowager, but someone else. Why couldn’t the Empress Dowager hold her hand?”

    Joey sneered: “Let her take control? Let the whole Dayong be destroyed in her hands? Ever since my mother died ten years ago and Jiangzhou fell into her hands, what has it become now? I don’t believe you don’t know, Aunt Wu!”

    Seeing that Joey was still stubborn, Aunt Wu shook her head and stopped trying to persuade her. She raised her hand to signal the man in white to take action.

    In this short period of time, Joey had already recovered. He lowered his waist, avoided the swords raised above his head, and left the central circle surrounding the man in white on his knees.

    The moment Joey left, he immediately threw the thing in his hand towards the place where he was kneeling just now.

    “Crack!”

    The things in his hands fell to the ground and spread out with Joey’s movements.A line of white dust appeared in the air, quickly surrounding the people in white.

    “What is this?” Nanny Wu sensed something was wrong, covered her mouth and nose, and quickly took a few steps back.

    Joey threw away all the things in his hands and ran away quickly.He had already taken the antidote to Ruomisan. Even if such a large dose of the medicine had an effect on him, it would not cause him any harm for a while.

    The effects of the medicine took effect quickly, and the men in white could no longer stand, and began to fall to the ground one by one like limp noodles.

    Nanny Wu moved away from here the moment Joey made a move, so she didn’t inhale much powder and still stood there properly.

    Looking at Joey, who was still standing in front of her with scars all over, the usual charitable look on Nanny Wu’s face completely disappeared without a trace at this moment, and was replaced by a look of cold cruelty.

    “I really underestimated you.” Nanny Wu sneered, turned her wrist, and a dagger appeared in her hand.

    Joey knew that the people in front of him would not let him go, but it was easier to deal with Nanny Wu alone than to fight with so many people.

    Joey stared at the silvery dagger in Nanny Wu’s hand, took a few steps back, and quickly made a defensive stance. He was already prepared to add a few new wounds to his body.

    “Don’t overestimate your capabilities!”

    Seeing Joey, who had lost much strength due to the people in front of him, Nanny Wu was disdainful. She turned her wrist and was about to kill Joey with a dagger in her hand.

    However, the next moment Nanny Wu made an attack.

    “Ding!”

    After hearing a clear sound of weapons clashing, before Joey could see what was being thrown, he saw the hand of Nanny Wu on the opposite side loosen her hand and the dagger actually fell.

    Joey was a little surprised.

    Not only was the dagger knocked off, but Nanny Wu who was not far away seemed to have been injured by some sharp weapon. Before she could say anything, she fell to the ground.

    “You’re still as reckless as ever.”

    With the sound of a wheelchair turning on the ground, Joey heard a very familiar voice, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

    Joey looked back following the sound.

    It was the person he saw last time in Prince Lin’s Mansion.

    The wheelchair came to Joey.The person sitting on the chair reached out to him and said, “Long time no see.”

    Joey took a few steps back warily, “Who are you?”

    The man paused, looked at the wary Joey, and slowly said three words, “Fang Qingzhou.”

    “?!”
