Indeed, just as Zhao Gongming was scheming against her, Qi Ling was also constantly on guard against Zhao Gongming, and Zhu Zhuqing was an important part of that scheme.
In this world, although Zhu Zhuqing is unable to use the power to travel through space as before, it does not prevent her from becoming a top assassin capable of killing with a single blow.
Since they couldn't use those powers, they could only rely on the basic skills of an assassin: hiding in the shadows and killing with a single blow. So this place was also arranged by Qi Ling and Zhu Zhuqing to lure Zhao Gongming into a trap.
The only thing I didn't expect was that Zhao Gongming was so powerful; I almost died at his hands. If that had happened, I would have just lost my gamble.
Having figured out the key point, Zhao Gongming realized that he had made a mistake and lost to Qi Ling. He suddenly clutched his neck and ran towards Chaoge, bleeding as he ran, but his speed was not slow.
"Holy crap, is it an insect? How can it still run!" Qi Ling was about to give chase when she felt another sharp pain, her body went limp, and she couldn't move at all. " Zhu Zhuqing, hurry and kill him! Don't let him get away!"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "To kill him, he has to leave your side, which is too dangerous, Qi Ling. You have no ability to protect yourself right now."
Qi Ling was about to say something when Zhu Zhuqing said, "No! Qi Ling, you must know that you absolutely cannot be hurt. I'll take you to heal your injuries right now."
After saying this, Zhu Zhuqing didn't care whether Qi Ling agreed or not, and took him back to the Light Observation Hall to heal his injuries. Of course, doctors are the most professional in treating illnesses and saving lives.
Qi Ling was also extremely helpless. However, even if Zhao Gongming didn't die, he would definitely be severely weakened. This was an opportunity that couldn't be missed, and it might become the turning point of the entire war.
Therefore, Qi Ling quickly instructed Ning Rongrong to inform King Wu, thus accelerating the offensive. Within a few days, several more cities were captured. By the time Zhao Gongming recovered, the situation was already hopeless, and there was no way to reverse it.
So one day, in Su Daji's palace, Qi Ling massaged her while laughing and said, " The Shang Dynasty is about to fall, and the whole of Chaoge is in a state of panic. I heard that even the King is planning to flee. Your Highness, aren't you going to make plans soon?"
Su Daji smiled and said, "With the General here, what do I have to fear? Surely you wouldn't stand by and watch me be humiliated by those rebels? That would break my heart."
"That's not necessarily true. As an official of the court, I'll be in trouble myself, how can I possibly take care of the Imperial Concubine?" Qi Ling said with a smile. "Your Highness would be better off making plans sooner rather than later."
"Oh dear, that would be terrible! I can't even imagine what kind of treatment I would suffer if that happened," Su Daji said. "Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the rebels haven't broken in yet and leave here as soon as possible?"
"Although I'm clumsy and not good at housework, fortunately, I'm quite fit, which can relieve your fatigue and make you happy! If you don't believe me, I'll try it now!"
Seeing that Su Daji was really about to make a move, Qi Ling hurriedly said, "Hey, okay, okay, stop, stop, stop! We're done playing!"
"But seriously, Xiao Xiaosu, are you sure your mission failure won't have any consequences?"
While teasing Qi Ling with her foot, Su Daji laughed and said, "I told you not to worry, and I've already received a gift that's even more important than that reward. You can't be ungrateful."
"Besides, in the past two years, Qi Ling, you've touched almost every part of me. You have to take responsibility for me!"
"Cough cough, this isn't my fault, you made me do it!" Qi Ling said helplessly, "I'm a gentleman, I would never take advantage of someone in distress!"
"Hmph, I don't believe it!" Su Daji laughed. "Would a true gentleman peep at someone while they're bathing?"
Qi Ling blushed and protested, "Hey! That was clearly a trap you set for me! Who takes a bath with only a screen between them and expects me to bring them a towel!"
"Hehe, falling for the trap means you have a weakness in your heart!" Su Daji laughed. "That's not my fault, you can only blame yourself."
"Actually, I have another question, Xiao Xiaosu," Qi Ling couldn't help but ask, "Is Zhao Gongming or not in cahoots with you? Why haven't we seen any interaction between you two?"
"Of course not, not at all. Strictly speaking, we're enemies," Su Daji said. "Perhaps the test initially included making us fight amongst ourselves, but we were both clever and didn't fall for it."
"Oh? Is that so? No wonder you were so decisive in betraying your teammates," Qi Ling exclaimed. "Looks like I'm really lucky to run into something like this."
"Your real luck is meeting me; otherwise, you wouldn't have won at all." Su Daji suddenly pulled Qi Ling in front of her and said, "I'm not bragging, but if I were to make a move, you really wouldn't have a single chance of winning."
Qi Ling admitted that Zhao Gongming was already difficult enough to deal with, and with Su Daji added to the mix, she really had no chance of winning.
Thus, this fierce battle ultimately ended with the downfall of the Shang Dynasty, and King Wu, with the support of the people, became the new emperor, presumably ushering in a golden age.
As for those who did not originally belong to this world, whether they completed their mission or failed, they all had to leave this world and return to their own.
Just as they were about to part, Su Daji suddenly appeared, gave Qi Ling a kiss, and said with a smile, "Don't forget me, Qi Ling! But I have a feeling that we'll meet again soon, so look forward to it!"
Not only that, at this moment, Vermilion Bird also appeared in front of Qi Ling. She looked very serious, but suddenly grabbed Qi Ling's hand and put it inside her clothes, where she was naturally not wearing anything.
"My lord, please don't forget me! I will always wait for you!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who were standing nearby, were stunned by what they saw. Only after the two disappeared did Ning Rongrong say, "Well, Qi Ling, so you were also partying every night in Chaoge!"
"I was worried you'd be lonely, so I agreed to so many of your requests and used so many different positions! You owe me, you owe me!"
Qi Ling gave an awkward laugh and said, "Ahem, it's not that exaggerated! I'm very busy, how could I have time to do that kind of thing? Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
"Hey, don't run away! Zhu Zhuqing, say something to him too!" Ning Rongrong hurriedly pulled her teammate back when she saw Qi Ling trying to escape.
Zhu Zhuqing, however, said with a serious expression, " Rongrong, don't worry, Qi Ling won't."
"Huh? Why?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Because he hasn't made a move on me yet! I won't let anyone else beat me to it!" Zhu Zhuqing said confidently.
