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 92 The Powerful Thief
Meeting Lu Wanyin's gaze, Xie Jingci smiled.
He said, "If there are thefts in the capital and other places now, then we are not suspected."
After all, they have Hou Yuanji watching over them.
Who can run across several states to steal things in one night?
Obviously, Lu Wanyin can.
Lu Wanyin curled the corners of her lips and gave Xie Jingci a thumbs up: "You are the most ruthless one. Let's go back to the capital and find those who have slipped through the net."
Xie Jingci smiled silently: "Okay."
Lu Wanyin didn't know much about the corrupt officials in the capital. After all, in her first life, she was just a concubine's daughter in a marquis's mansion who never left the house.
But Xie Jingci was different.
He was a general of the Da Sheng Dynasty, so he naturally paid attention to state affairs.
He knows very well who is the real corrupt official and who is pretending to be honest.
He even knew where the private property of some corrupt officials was.
So this night was destined to be an extraordinary night.
Lu Wanyin took Xie Jingci with her until dawn, when she finally stopped.
This time, half of the officials in the court contributed to her small treasury.
The space is even more generous, and another 300 points are awarded.
The last time the gold mine was worth only 200, you can imagine how rich these parasites are.
The two returned to the room at the inn. Mo Yu was guarding the door and no one dared to come in.
Of course, Hou Yuanji didn't know that Lu Wanyin and the other two hadn't come back the whole night.
He even thought that Lu Wanyin must be secretly eating alone in the room.
“So sleepy!”
Lu Wanyin lay on the bed with her clothes on, yawning, her eyelids drooping.
Although you don't need to collect the supplies yourself, the thought will consume your energy.
Lu Wanyin only said these two words before she fell into a deep sleep.
He even made shallow breathing sounds.
Xie Jingci sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Lu Wanyin.
When that face was silent, it was really cute, which was completely inconsistent with her decisive and murderous character.
Xie Jingci reached out and gently tidied up Lu Wanyin's hair.
She ran all night and her hair was a mess.
Feeling something foreign on her face, Lu Wanyin reached out and held Xie Jingci down: "Don't move."
She was so sleepy that she didn't want to move at all.
It was because I knew that Xie Jingci was by my side that I slept so soundly.
Xie Jingci held her hand and said softly, "Okay, go to sleep."
Lu Wanyin slept even more deeply.
He carefully took off Lu Wanyin's shoes and socks and put them into the quilt.
The weather is getting colder, especially in the mornings.
Xie Jingci lay down beside Lu Wanyin, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
He followed her tonight, and his mood had changed from shock at the beginning to numbness.
But after this moment was completely over, he couldn't help but marvel.
His wife is really amazing.
It takes three days for Jingyuanzhou to travel from the capital by fast horse, but she arrived in a moment.
Not only that, you can also travel throughout the capital in a very short time.
Xie Jingci just kept looking at Lu Wanyin.
It was already noon the next day when Lu Wanyin woke up.
It took Lu Wanyin a long time to come to her senses after meeting Xie Jingci's gaze.
"Why do you keep looking at me? Is there something wrong with my face?"
She couldn't tell when it started, but Xie Jingci seemed to be becoming more and more of a pervert.
I always look at her with such a revealing look.
She still preferred the serious general.
Xie Jingci let go of her hand and immediately started to flatter her: "Madam is as beautiful as a flower."
Lu Wanyin's fingers felt numb.
She didn't know how long Xie Jingci held her hand, but he squeezed it so hard that the blood didn't come out.
She stood up while shaking her hands: "Hou Yuanji must be getting impatient."
Xie Jingci explained it to her.
Hou Yuanji was afraid of wasting time and did not dare to wake Lu Wanyin up, so he asked Wu Fan to take some escorts to escort the Xie family and other prisoners on the road first.
He took a few escorts to the post station to wait for Lu Wanyin to wake up.
Lu Wanyin slept soundly, and Hou Yuanji had already prepared lunch for her.
"Ancestor, hurry up and eat. We've already taken a detour, and if we delay any longer, we'll definitely not reach the wilderness on time."
Seeing Lu Wanyin chewing slowly, Hou Yuanji became extremely anxious.
But he didn't dare to urge her too harshly, so he spoke softly with a bitter face.
Lu Wanyin swallowed the last bite of food and stretched out her hand. Hou Yuanji handed her the towel he had prepared in advance: "Please."
Lu Wanyin was very satisfied with Hou Yuanji's approach: "Let's go."
Before leaving, she made a detour to the clinic to say goodbye to Song Jiuning.
Only then did he reluctantly leave Jingyuanzhou.
Hou Yuanji breathed a long sigh of relief.
Because they rode horses and took cars, they quickly caught up with the main force.
Lu Wanyin's flatbed carriage moved leisurely from the end of the team to the front.
The envious gazes of everyone in the Xie family were glued to her and never left her.
We have the same fate, but some people can sleep until they wake up naturally and then continue their journey.
At this moment, the Xie family's regret reached its peak.
How much better it would have been if they hadn't spoken harshly to Xie Jingci on the day he was imprisoned, and hadn't fallen out with Lu Wanyin at the beginning of their exile!
Unfortunately, there is no reversal in life.
The news of the theft in the capital did not arrive until three days later.
Lu Wanyin only found out about it when she heard Hou Yuanji chatting with the escorts.
It turned out that after the last theft, many corrupt officials were secretly rejoicing.
I feel like my family has escaped a disaster.
It's only been a few days and they've all been completed.
Hou Yuanji commented: "This thief is truly amazing. He emptied out the entire house in a flash. Let me tell you, when I entered the palace a while ago, His Majesty didn't even have his dragon robe on. He'd bought it fresh from outside the palace."
The escorts were obviously unconvinced: "No way, the palace is so heavily guarded, how did the thief get in?"
Hou Yuanji said, "This is the thief's genius. Until now, no one has ever seen his true face. He is truly powerful."
The escorts were obviously listening to a story.
They only heard about it from the people when they were escorting Xie Jingci out of the capital, and they had no idea what the specific situation was.
"How is this possible? Unless the thief is a god!"
"That's right, but we are all gods, why would we steal these mortal things?"
"Isn't that right? Could it be that the gods are also poor and have a hard time, so they have to come down to earth to steal?"
"It's not impossible."
Hou Yuanji listened to the discussion with disdain: "What gods? It's clearly the work of humans!"
He doesn't believe in gods!
If there is, it is a fake one.
"Master Hou is right."
Hou Yuanji didn't expect that the person who agreed with him this time was Lu Wanyin.
He was about to reply,
But Lu Wanyin had another sentence: "But why did I hear that Lord Hou's house was also robbed?"
Hou Yuanji was stunned: "Impossible!"
Lu Wanyin covered her lips and chuckled: "If you don't believe me, Lord Hou, write home and ask."
She made a special trip to the Hou family, so how could it be fake?
