The water surface exploded into splashes. Yan Su was caught off guard and his heart turned cold.

Leng Qiyue was still alright, it was just that her dress was a little wet. She looked at Yan Su and saw that his eyes were wide open and his mouth had formed an 'O' shape.

Leng Qiyue looked towards the surface of the water, where a layer of fish floated. She quickly recited, "Amitabha, you have sinned …"

After a long while, Yan Su finally came back to his senses. He wiped the water off his face and asked, "Empress, the thing you just threw had such power. It's amazing."

Leng Qiyue did not plan to explain herself. At this time, many people had already been awakened by the explosion. She suddenly felt that something was wrong. She rolled her eyes and shouted, "Come quickly! The Dragon King has sent many fishes to feed everyone!"

With that said, the crowd immediately became restless. They immediately went to snatch the fish, leaving the explosion behind them. The name of "eating" was like the heavens, so naturally, it was "eating" the most.

The explosives were successfully developed, and the next step would depend on Wang Ming's progress. If everything went well, they could open up the channel before the heavy rain, but if it didn't, once it rained, the explosives would no longer be usable.

"Empress …" "Empress …" Something's happened at Lord Wang's place. " A commoner ran in and said in a flustered tone.

Leng Qiyue said to Yan Su, "Stay here and watch over it. No one is allowed to touch this thing."

Yan Su nodded. He knew how important this thing was.

Leng Qiyue could not be bothered with her image as she grabbed her skirt and ran towards the West Dam. West Dam was a mile away from the city gate, and it passed by a forest. Leng Qiyue's heart was tied to Wang Ming's safety, and she did not wait for that commoner to run into the forest.

However, when she reached the middle of the forest, a net suddenly appeared over her head and completely covered her. There were sharp hooks on the net. Leng Qiyue struggled a few times, but did not dare to move. Her legs and arms were both cut open, causing blood to flow out.

"Ga Ga …" What a tender beauty. " With an unpleasant laugh, a man in tattered clothes jumped down from a tree.

With the help of the moonlight, Leng Qiyue could see that the person's hair was white, his body was bent, and his clothes were in pieces. If it was in the modern world, you would not hesitate to think that he was an oversized mop.

"Who are you? Why did you catch me? " Leng Qiyue asked.

The person's voice was hoarse and feminine. It was impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman.

"This old one is the godmother of the Ten Great Killing Hands, someone paid a high price to buy your head." "Ga Ga …"

Leng Qiyue pondered for a moment. Could it be from the empress dowager? When the news of him making the steamed buns got out, she knew that her plan had failed, so she sent an assassin?

"Who is it?" Leng Qiyue asked.

"Hmph, we assassins won't sell out our employers."

Leng Qiyue rolled her eyes and put on a pained expression. "Honorable Goddess, I'm about to die. Please just tell me."

"Well, you're going to die anyway, so I'll tell you. Employer's name is... Uh, if you're old and have a bad memory, what's your name? Sister? Ah Hua? "Aaron?"

Black lines appeared on Leng Qiyue's forehead. Was this old demoness planning on playing with her? She quietly took out the flexible sword at her waist. With a wave of her hand, she cut the net into pieces and pointed the azure blade straight at Pious Nanny …

Shiva was indeed worthy of being called one of the top ten assassins. His reaction was fast, dodging the sharp sword by taking out an iron rod from nowhere, and he quickly pointed it at Leng Qiyue's chest …

Leng Qiyue had no choice but to defend herself. Withdrawing her flexible sword, she dodged to the side, and slashed at the wrist of the pious woman with her backhand.

Shiva smiled sinisterly and said, "Little girl, you have some skills."

She did not dare to be negligent, and with a flick of her wrist, the tip of her sword fell on the metal staff. There was a clanging sound in the forest.

Shiva released his right hand and slapped towards Leng Qiyue's Baihui acupoint. Leng Qiyue tilted her head to the side to avoid the attack. That palm strike was quite powerful. As the wind from the palm hit her shoulder, a scorching pain arose.

"Tsk tsk, little beauty, it's best to obediently accept your death. Don't hurt your good skin or you'll look bad even if you become a ghost." The pious old woman laughed sinisterly.

Leng Qiyue gritted her teeth and decided to end the battle quickly. Qing Feng swung his sword with all his might towards his godmother.

The pious woman did not move, but her whole body slid backwards, dodging the attack.

Only now did Leng Qiyue realize that her martial arts were inferior to his. If she were to try and fight him, she would definitely lose her life. However, she couldn't think of a way to do it. Just as she was hesitating, she was struck in the back by a powerful palm. She couldn't help but take a few steps back.

A fishy taste gushed out of her throat, as Leng Qiyue's internal organs were injured. She forcefully suppressed her surging Qi and blood and pretended to be relaxed as she said, "Old demoness, your skills aren't that great. It's more or less appropriate for you to tickle me."

Hearing this, the pious servant became furious. Without saying a word, he swung his iron staff at Leng Qiyue, wishing that she could immediately smash her into a meat patty.

Leng Qiyue knew that she had angered this old demoness, so she came up with a plan. She pretended to be surprised as she looked behind her and shouted, "Protector Yan, quickly save me!"

Following the stagnation in her voice, she turned around only to discover that she had been tricked. When she turned around, she saw Leng Qiyue running away as if she were flying. "Little bastard, stop right there."

Leng Qiyue thought to herself, "I'll listen to you, you're a fool. If I can't beat you, can't I run away?"

Leng Qiyue's Qing Gong could already be considered excellent. For a moment, the pious woman was unable to catch up with her, but she was not left far behind either as she followed closely behind her.

Seeing that she couldn't get rid of the old demoness, Leng Qiyue cursed in her heart, "Damn old granny, you ran so fast! Be careful of falling and breaking your bones …"

Before she could come to a conclusion, she saw the pious woman behind her scream and lie down on the ground without moving. What was going on? Had the curse been fulfilled?

Leng Qiyue stopped in her tracks, not daring to move forward. She was afraid of being cheated by her mother, so at this moment, Xiao Die jumped down from the tree and smiled. "Empress, there are many wild beasts in the forest at night. It's best not to walk alone in the future."

When Leng Qiyue saw Xiao Die, her heart felt much more at ease. She asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"Die clapped her hands, and under the moonlight, some fluorescent powder could be seen." The powder on my wings can make people fall asleep. "

Leng Qiyue slanted her eyes and disdainfully said, "Aren't you a demon? It should have magic power, why are you hiding in the trees and attacking me? "

Die blinked her eyes and said, "I am a butterfly monster. I have used a lot of spells to become human, so I can only maintain my human form."

Leng Qiyue snorted and said, "Why don't you just say that you're no different from others?"

Xiao Die nodded, "Yes, aside from the two tentacles on my head, I am still a human being."

Leng Qiyue arrived beside her godmother and gave her a kick. Seeing that she did not react, she stretched out her hand to touch her body for a while. In the end, she took out a stack of banknotes. These banknotes belonged to the Golden Gate Bank of Shengtong in Beijing and were worth around twenty thousand taels of silver.

"Tsk tsk, you're quite rich, not bad at all." Leng Qiyue put the banknotes away.

Xiao Die stretched out her hand and said, "Empress, your servant has done well. Just a few points."

Leng Qiyue glared at him and asked, "What do you want the silver for?" You won't die even if you don't eat or drink, and you don't need to buy clothes, so how are you going to spend it? "

Xiao Die tried to curry favor with him as she smiled, "My lady, I have just transformed into a human, and I haven't tasted much of that."

Leng Qiyue took out the banknotes and flipped through them. She took out a piece and stuffed it into her hands. "Since you have done a great deed, I'll give you some of it."

Xiao Die received it happily, and stopped laughing when she saw the value of the noodles. "1 tael?" It was actually one tael!

Leng Qiyue smiled and said, "That one tael of silver was my pocket money, and now I'm giving it all to you. Why? Is it too much? "

Xiao Die gritted her teeth and said, "I thank the Queen for the reward!"

Leng Qiyue laughed out loud, picked up her qinggong and ran towards the West Dam. Feeling helpless, Xiao Die carefully folded the one tael of silver and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket.

When Leng Qiyue arrived at the West Dam, the opening expanded by half a foot and the situation became critical. The soldiers who were digging through the pipes were all trying their best to dig, but they weren't able to make much progress. The two-meter-wide, two-meter-deep channel was barely five meters deep. There was still more than twenty meters to go. He might not be able to make it before the rain tomorrow.

As Leng Qiyue was feeling anxious in her heart, the heavens had suddenly lost their temper. A bolt of lightning lit up the night sky like a tree root, followed by a deafening roar that rolled over the land …

Leng Qiyue's expression changed. Not good, the storm came earlier …
