Chapter 54 Vines Can Also Kill

The moment the assassin appeared, Lu Wanyin was pushed back into the protection circle by Xuan Yi.

Hearing this, she glanced at Xie Jingci.

In those dark pupils, there was undisguised hatred and ridicule.

She patted Xie Jingci's hand and said, "Shouldn't you have known long ago that the emperor would not let you go? Naturally, he would kill you to prevent any more trouble."

Xie Jingci lowered his eyes: "You are right."

Finally, he raised his head, his eyes had returned to normal: "Just hide here, I won't let anything happen to you."

He spoke with great confidence, and it was obvious that he did not take the current predicament seriously.

Lu Wanyin knew that Xie Jingci had a backup plan, but at the moment, one of his personal guards had been injured.

Lu Wanyin naturally couldn't just stand by and watch.

"good."

She walked to the back of the prison van and kept her eyes on the battlefield.

I happened to see a vine on the ground nearby, which was covered with thorns and was the sharpest weapon.

Perfect, try out her plant-based abilities.

Lu Wanyin clasped her five fingers together and secretly manipulated the vines to launch a sneak attack.

After quickly killing an assassin, the vine lay motionless on the ground again.

When people who didn't know the situation saw it, they thought it was always there and shed a lot of blood innocently.

Suddenly, it stabbed forward diagonally with unstoppable force.

Pierced the black assassin's heart.

Precise and ruthless.

In the melee, the personal guards were attacked from all sides, but they did not notice anything unusual.

After all, who would have thought that vines could attack actively.

The Xie family members suffered two assassination attempts in succession and were scared out of their wits.

I don't know who started it, but they all ran away in all directions like crazy.

Hou Yuanji and the peace officer were so busy trying to stop them that they had no time to take care of anything else.

Only Xie Jingci declined.

His eyes were fixed on a thick vine.

The vines that killed two people in a row once again took advantage of the chaos and lay on the ground.

Like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity.

Phew!

Another assassin died under the vines.

In the bright autumn light, the yellow-green vines that penetrated the assassin's black clothes were unusually hard.

Even as the assassin fell backward, it remained upright on his chest.

Drops of blood dripped down the vines.

Falling back to the pierced heart.

The next moment, the vines quickly retreated and lay on the ground as they did at the beginning.

Continue to wait for an opportunity.

Xie Jingci suppressed the shock in his eyes and calmly reminded, "Be careful."

Outside the prison van, Lu Wanyin curled her lips and took care of an assassin who attacked Xuanyi.

She said fearlessly, "It's okay. I will kill anyone who dares to threaten my safety!"

Isn't it like this in the end times for so many years?

Lu Wanyin's supernatural powers are inexhaustible, and the vines are inexhaustible.

With her help, the guards quickly dealt with all the assassins.

Yes all!

Every assassin who came was killed without exception.

Xuan Qi tore off a piece of cloth from his lower garment and skillfully bandaged the wound on his shoulder.

He couldn't believe it. "I thought the fight would take a long time, but I didn't expect these people to be so useless."

Xuan Yi threw the hemostatic medicine he carried with him over: "If you don't know what's going on, just shut up and don't embarrass yourself."

He knew someone was helping him, but he never imagined it was Lu Wanyin.

Xuan Yi buried his head in searching the assassin's body.

After searching through all the bodies, he went to report to Xie Jingci: "All the assassins had poison in their mouths. They had no identification or marks on their bodies. They were definitely assassins."

Xie Jingci looked into the distance, as if recalling something.

"I remember that Taizu once formed a secret guard. The previous two emperors didn't use the shadows. I almost forgot about them."

"You should ask someone to check what they have done over the years."

Lu Wanyin smiled playfully: "I thought you would be sad for a while, but you cheered up so quickly. Are you trying to dig out the crimes of the dog emperor?"

Xie Jingci automatically ignored the three words "Dog Emperor".

After all, the scolding is correct.

Rather than wondering whether he was being targeted, Xie Jingci wanted to know whether the emperor had harmed the soldiers who were defending the country.

Xuan Yi had the same idea without him explaining it.

The soldiers at the border are not afraid of wind and sand, nor of death.

What is protected are the millions of people in Da Sheng.

It also protects the emperor's kingdom.

If the emperor attacked them from behind while they were charging into battle.

Well, if we don't kill this dog emperor, it won't be enough to let hundreds of thousands of heroic souls on the border rest in peace!

Xuanyi left with heavy steps.

"Stop! Everyone, stop right there! Whoever dares to escape will be killed!"

Hou Yuanji saw Xie Derui running southeast into the woods, and hurriedly chased after him with his crutches.

Before I took two steps, I saw Xie Deyao and his family going into the woods in the northwest.

Bang!

Just as Hou Yuanji was about to turn around, Xie Deyi pulled Liu and pushed him away.

He turned around a few times and finally stood still, but Xie Deyi and the other man had disappeared.

The scab that had just formed on the wound was broken.

Hou Yuanji covered his chest and turned around like a headless fly.

In his field of vision, the remaining dozen or so escorts were as overwhelmed as he was. They could catch up with that man but could not stop this one.

Before, the Xie family had about two or three hundred people, from masters to servants.

Now there are only 20 or 30 people left.

Hou Yuanji was so anxious that he saw stars.

If he fails to do this job well, the Hou family will be able to protect him.

But he would never be reused by the emperor again.

Even if his father saved his life, he would break his legs.

Hou Yuanji grabbed Wu Fan, who was running past him, and pressed his token into his hand. "Hurry! Ride the horses pulling the prison cart to the nearest county town and tell the county magistrate to come to our aid immediately."

Wu Fan immediately ran to the prison van: "I'll be there right away!"

But the closer he got, the more frightened he became.

The prison van was in perfect order, which was like two different worlds compared to the chaotic scene at Hou Yuanji's place.

The scene of the guards silently carrying away the corpse, with blood all the way, is also very shocking to the soul.

Wu Fan, who was considered Xie Jingci's enemy, was afraid that he would become the next corpse.

When he was still some distance away from the prison van, he announced his purpose.

"General, Madam, I'd like to borrow your horse. I'll go to the county and return it to you."

Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Besides, the horse was originally theirs.

Seeing that Lu Wanyin had no objection, Wu Fan bent down and bowed while untying the horse from the prison cart.

In a panic, he almost tied the reins into a knot.

Lu Wanyin's tone was quite gentle: "Don't worry, just do it slowly on your own."

Wu Fan was comforted and finally untied the tangled rope.

He bowed again, quickly jumped on his horse, and galloped towards the county town.

Lu Wanyin glanced sideways.

Xie Jingci received her gaze and took the initiative to say, "He's heading to Qi County. The county magistrate is related to a prominent family in Beijing, and the people often accuse him of excessive taxation and abuse of the people."

The investigation into this official had already begun before he was framed by the emperor.

The evidence is almost collected.

Unexpectedly, this person still escaped.

Lu Wanyin tapped the prison van lightly and said as she walked towards the woods, "That's perfect. Wait for my good news."

Before Xie Jingci said "OK", there was only a breeze around him.
