Chapter 170 Kill All These People

When she met Xie Jingci's helpless eyes, Lu Wanyin finally realized that she had accidentally forgotten that Xie Jingci's hand was not "healed" yet.

She turned her hand to Xuan Qi again: "Come and see."

The more precious the message, the more likely it is to contain a mechanism.

It would be bad if she accidentally destroyed the letter.

Xuan Qi opened the letter, his expression changed, and he lowered his voice: "Master, His Majesty knows about the earthquake here and believes that we have died in the mountains."

Don't blame the emperor for being arbitrary.

With the conditions in the mountains, no normal person could survive.

Lu Wanyin's eyes lit up: "This is a godsend opportunity. Since he thinks we are dead, why don't we take advantage of it and escape, hide our identities, and make plans?"

There are plenty of ways to go.

Even in the wild and remote place with high mountains and far away emperors, there is still a piece of land, which is exactly what she wants.

Xie Jingci tapped his knees lightly with his hands hidden under his sleeves.

He was thinking seriously about Lu Wanyin's words.

Lu Wanyin held up her chin, looking indifferently at the Xie family members who were still fighting, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "As for these people, if they know that we can leave the mountains alive, they can't stay."

She will take away those whose hearts are on her side.

Even if he is not around, she will not be merciful and leave any trouble.

Lu Wanyin's expression at this moment was much colder than ever before.

It was as if what she couldn't bear to keep in her mouth were not the dozens of lives, but a few rotten cabbages.

Xie Jingci raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

This is the woman who stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

He enjoys his current situation.

Ever since that night, Lu Wanyin has always felt awkward when facing him.

That is to say, if they talk about business now, her attention will be temporarily diverted and she will feel natural talking to him.

Almost everyone's attention was drawn to the farce of the Xie family, and they didn't notice anything unusual about Lu Wanyin and the other person.

There was only one exception.

Hou Yuanji, who was used to paying attention to every move of Lu Wanyin and others, felt his heart skip a beat.

His whole body was shaking.

Wu Fan saw him shaking non-stop, and subconsciously looked at his hand: "Sir, your hand still hurts a lot."

Didn't you just say that the food was so good that your hands didn't hurt anymore when you finished eating?

“It’s not a question of whether the hand hurts or not.”

Hou Yuanji took a deep breath and said, "I have a very bad feeling. Now I have to beg for mercy. If it works, I will still be the young master of the capital. If it doesn't, I will just be a dead man in the mountains."

Fortunately, I had a full meal and the pain in my legs was gone completely.

Walking a few steps is completely stress-free.

Wu Fan didn't understand what Hou Yuanji said at all, but he saw Hou Yuanji walking up to Lu Wanyin and the other person.

“Plop!”

Hou Yuanji knelt down immediately.

Lu Wanyin raised her eyebrows and simply stopped talking to see what he wanted to say.

Hou Yuanji kowtowed several times and said, "Please spare my life. I can still be of use to you two."

Wu Fan was shocked.

Sir, you are serious.

Lu Wanyin's smile faded slightly, and her eyes met Xie Jingci's: "What are you talking about? Why would we kill you?"

Seeing that she didn't respond at all, Hou Yuanji became even more anxious: "General, Madam General, our Hou family is very prestigious. If I disappear, my father... no, my grandfather, when the late emperor was in power, my grandfather was the prime minister and had countless disciples. He won't give up looking for me."

It seemed as if he felt that his tone had been inadvertently harsh and was afraid that Lu Wanyin would think he was threatening him.

Hou Yuanji quickly added, "Of course, with your abilities, you two definitely won't be afraid of our Hou family. However, if you continue searching like this, it will be a hassle for you two."

He knew that Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci were not afraid of any threats.

The more threatening he is, the faster he will die.

Xuan Qi on the side almost laughed out loud.

This desire to survive can be said to be very strong.

Yes, no matter how arrogant a person is, he will lose face under the torture of his two masters along the way.

Seeing that the two people who were in charge were looking at him with mysterious expressions.

Hou Yuanji felt a chill in his heart.

Although he is a playboy, playboys also have their advantages.

They are very good at reading people's expressions.

After knowing who you can't afford to offend, you can always see the crisis from the expressions of people in high positions.

He was sure that if he didn't show enough loyalty today, he would be dead.

Hou Yuanji gritted his teeth and began to desperately promote himself: "Although I am only the commander of the Imperial Guard, I am also the only legitimate son of the Hou family. From now on, the entire Hou family will be mine."

"Over the years I've been in the capital, I've heard a lot of secrets while visiting brothels... ahem, socializing there. Many of my lovers are among them. If you two want to find out any information outside the capital, leave it to me."

Hou Yuanji racked his brains, fearing that the conditions he put forward were not enough.

He hardened his heart and added directly, "To be honest with you two, I have long been dissatisfied with the new emperor. He actually started to reuse people like the Wang family. He is very suspicious. Maybe he will cause trouble for our Hou family one day."

Even saying this, it seems that Hou Yuanji is determined to follow them.

Lu Wanyin glanced at him and said, "Your Hou family is not a good family either."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Hou Yuanji quickly agreed and didn't dare to say no.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Actually, I'm the only one in our Hou family who's not very good. My father is still okay... Well, where was I just now?"

Xie Jingci leaned back slightly, seeming to be tired.

Hou Yuanji was already on edge, and even such a small movement startled him.

His words instantly became more fluent: "A man who understands the current situation is a hero. The emperor is incompetent and will definitely not be a match for General Xie. Our Hou family will definitely stand behind you two."

Hou Yuanji kowtowed solemnly again and said, "From now on, I will follow your lead."

His head touched the ground.

Even in the middle of winter, the sweat on my forehead never stops.

It was very quiet in front of me.

Hou Yuanji was almost depressed.

Is it okay or not? Please say something.

Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci looked at each other.

She didn't express her opinion directly, but instead asked, "General, do you have any drugs that can control people? For example, every two weeks or a month, you have to take the antidote, otherwise your intestines will be ruptured, bleeding from all seven orifices, and your heart will be tormented by all kinds of claws. It's the kind that will not die peacefully."

Hou Yuanji sweated even faster: "Isn't this one month a bit too short?"

As soon as he heard this, he knew what Lu Wanyin was going to do.

Many big families use this method to train their own assassins.

Just half a month or a month...

These two are going to the wilderness.

Even if we don't go, it's still far from the imperial city.

A month is not enough for a round trip.

If something happened to delay him on the way, he would be alone in the capital, and his life would be in danger.

There was a cold snort above my head.

Lu Wanyin's voice was cold: "Why, you don't want to or you want us to see your noble character and let us believe that you will be self-conscious?"

Hou Yuanji: "... Let's use medicine."

Not to mention Lu Wanyin, he himself doesn't believe in his own character.

Unexpectedly, Hou Yuanji became honest. Xie Jingci was silent for a moment, but then he said, "No."

Hou Yuanji was stunned.

He stared at Xie Jingci blankly: "General, this is possible."

Xie Jingci held his forehead and sighed, "I really don't have that."

His men all followed him voluntarily.

He never forces those who are unwilling to do something.

Hou Yuanji and Lu Wanyin looked at Xie Jingci together and fell silent.

Xie Jingci is truly upright and doesn't want to use any sinister means.
