With her dual plant and beast-mastery superpowers, Lu Wanyin is reborn back to her wedding night. Her husband is a general, strong and well-built. Unfortunately, the next day the new emperor orders...
Chapter 127 Xie Jingci, be careful!
"No, no, I won't go even if I die."
At this time, Hou Yuanji had already hidden himself in a corner.
He even transferred his escorts to keep an eye on the prisoners and not get involved.
He knew very well what kind of situation these people were in.
But he knew better how terrifying Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci were.
After spending some time together, he had figured it out.
He who knows the times is a hero. Hou Yuanji will not be able to survive by continuing to fight with these two people. The important thing is to protect himself.
As for the Emperor's death order...
Let’s survive first.
The killer couldn't find Hou Yuanji, but his own people started to fall.
The two killers looked at each other, completely gave up on defense, and rushed towards Xie Jingci together.
A useless man dared to let all the guards go. He was simply courting death.
"Jing Ci!"
The old lady had been worried about Xie Jingci's condition. She was the first to notice the actions of the two men and spoke up immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two killers who had just approached Xie Jingci suddenly seemed to be tripped by something and fell to the ground.
Boom boom!
The force is just right.
The two men's heads hit the ground and they fainted.
Everyone who was paying attention to this side breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Only a few killers cursed their bad luck inwardly.
He was about to succeed, but he made such a low-level mistake.
With two more people gone, the remaining killers are no longer a threat.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Hou Yuanji stood in the corner, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Sure enough, Lu Wanyin and his wife were not someone who could be taken care of by a few killers.
If he had really joined forces with these people, he would have fallen to the ground by now.
There is no need to think about what happens next.
The escorts were all killed, and the Xie family members fled far away.
The emperor was furious, but he could only punish the Hou family.
A group of people led by the Wang family are taking advantage of the situation and the entire Hou family is about to be destroyed.
"What's going on? I just went out for a while and such a big thing happened."
A clear voice came.
However, Lu Wanyin, who had to go to the toilet, came late at this time.
She went to the toilet for most of the hour, and she came out just as someone died here.
Several people in the Xie family were quite resentful of Lu Wanyin, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. In their hearts, they had already despised her a hundred times.
Hou Yuanji came back to his senses from his previous fantasy.
Seeing Lu Wanyin coming down the mountain as if nothing had happened, he hurried over.
He loudly called out to the bailiffs to clean up the bodies on the ground. While boiling water, he also did not forget to arrange for the exiled prisoners and took on all the miscellaneous work.
After finishing all this, he smiled awkwardly and wanted to show off in front of Lu Wanyin and the others: "You scared us just now. You have worked hard. Take a rest quickly. If you have any requests, please don't-"
Hou Yuanji paused and his pupils shrank.
He saw blood on Lu Wanyin's coat.
Several streams of fresh blood.
His heart was beating violently. He carefully glanced at Lu Wanyin, who looked calm, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
He also felt that Lu Wanyin had gone to the toilet for half an hour because she was afraid of death and was deliberately avoiding the fight here.
These traces of blood gave rise to a terrible thought in his mind.
The higher-ups had previously said how many people would be sent.
More than a dozen
Still more than twenty
Anyway, it won’t be just seven people.
Where did the rest of the people go?
Lu Wanyin said impatiently: "Nothing else, what are you standing here for? Get out of the way!"
Hou Yuanji was startled: "Yes, yes, yes."
He dodged far away with unsteady steps.
Lu Wanyin looked at him in confusion and squatted down to check the injuries of the two people on the ground.
Well, that’s good. The superpowers are controlled very precisely. I’m just unconscious, but there’s no brain damage.
Lu Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't think we can get much out of these people. If we can lure the killers behind us, then all our efforts will be worthwhile."
Xie Jingci lowered his eyes and watched her remove the poison from the two killers' fangs, his eyes flickering slightly: "Leave this matter to me."
Lu Wanyin thought about it.
She had no experience in interrogating prisoners in her three lifetimes, and Xie Jingci was indeed better than her, so she agreed to his request.
"Okay."
Lu Wanyin stood up and wiped the blood off her body: "I'm going to change into a clean coat and take care of things over there."
These seven killers, who were determined to die, still caused her some trouble.
Their main target was Xie Jingci, but in order to create chaos, they often targeted exiled prisoners.
In addition, Mo Yu has a big body, and even with Lu Wanyin's order, he only targets the killer.
But the reckless rushing around also scared the others.
Many prisoners and bailiffs were injured accidentally when they ran around in fear.
Lu Wanyin didn't expect that these people had seen Mo Yu many times, but they were still so timid.
She roughly counted the number of people and found that more than half of them were injured.
Sighing, Lu Wanyin looked at Hou Yuanji, who was thinking about life a few steps away.
She asked bluntly: "You know what I want to say, and you know what to do, right?"
Hou Yuanji muttered numbly, "I know. The trip will be delayed again, and the punishment when we return will be even more severe."
Lu Wanyin glanced at him: "What are you mumbling about?"
Hou Yuanji sat up straight subconsciously: "Nothing, I'll arrange it right away, and rest for a few days."
Hou Yuanji, who recognized the reality, started to give up completely.
Okay, okay, he has to take care of everything. He doesn’t know where the guards brought by Xie Jingci have gone.
It's been a while since I've seen anyone.
Hou Yuanji was feeling depressed and secretly looked towards Lu Wanyin.
She sat with Xie Jingci, and no one knew what they were talking about.
Looking at Xie Jingci again, Hou Yuanji felt complicated.
Everyone knew whether Xie Jingci had rebelled or not, except the emperor who pretended to be confused.
As a dandy young man, he was often compared with Xie Jingci by others.
Compared to him, I am just a worthless bug.
Now, the high and mighty Xie Jingci has become a prisoner under his command, and he is very proud of it.
At the same time, there is a chill in my heart that cannot be ignored.
Xie Jingci had done so much for Dasheng, but when the emperor had to take action, he still did not hesitate at all.
If the Xie family hadn't had a powerful daughter-in-law like Lu Wanyin, Xie Jingci would have been crippled and fallen into the hands of someone like me.
It’s hard to imagine how miserable his death would be.
What about the Hou family?
If the emperor needs to use the Hou family to gain benefits, the Hou family, which is far inferior to the original Xie family, will only die more miserably.
Hou Yuanji slowly clenched his fists.
Suddenly, I felt very unwilling.
At this moment, Lu Wanyin also noticed him and gave him a faint look, which fell on his clenched fist.
Hou Yuanji was startled and quickly loosened his fist, then waved at Lu Wanyin with a flattering smile.
Sister, don't get me wrong, I'm thinking about the emperor, and I really didn't make a fist at you.
This is what happened.
Lu Wanyin withdrew her gaze from Hou Yuanji and looked at Xie Jingci: "What's wrong?"
Xie Jingci hid his hand in his sleeve, playing with an inconspicuous sign. "The body in the gourd has been cleaned up. You did a great job. There's hardly any blood on the ground, and the signs of cleaning are barely visible."
"However," Xie Jingci's expression turned grim, "these killers are very skilled, so it's still possible they could detect us."
