A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
The three were stunned. No way! If they were already dead, why would they pay them to come all this way to kill them again?
Is it possible that the person who placed the order was so slow to respond, that they didn't even bother to check before hiring someone?
No way!
If that's the case, then they'd love to have a dozen more people like that!
There's no need to lift a finger; the other party is already dead!
As long as the person dies, they'll still collect the money!
On the other hand, they still didn't believe there could be such a person. They had too much money to burn, and hiring a hitman wasn't a matter of just a few cents!
Even low-level hitmen like them need a lot of money!
Who would be willing to do something so dangerous, something that puts them on the edge of a knife, if they didn't have money?
Who isn't after a few bucks?
Could it be that the buyer was too guilty and made a decision impulsively in a moment of anger?
Even he himself doesn't know, but he just wants peace of mind?
It's not impossible, though. I have nightmares every night, and I'm so tormented that I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown!
well!
I can't figure it out!
The wealthier a person is, the more complex and chaotic their world becomes!
"Didn't you all see? I'm the person you're looking for, but how do you think I resemble the person you're looking for? Apart from both being women, there shouldn't be any other similarities, right?"
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Su Nanxi patiently guided them to believe it.
Anyway, her current appearance is so different from the original owner's, so this is a good opportunity!
Didn't you want to kill her? Now that she's dead, do you still want to kill her?
The original owner of this body is indeed dead, and she didn't say anything wrong!
These three are all a bit dim-witted and not hard to fool. As long as they relay the message back, the people who wanted to kill her will believe it and feel at ease. They shouldn't cause any more trouble about wanting a son for a while!
That means she'll be safe for a while!
Never mind, let's deal with the immediate problem first, and then figure out a solution later.
After listening to Su Nanxi's words, the three thought about it seriously. One of them said, "There is another similarity. You are all quite thin and frail, and you look delicate. You can't lift heavy things!"
Su Nanxi nodded, "Indeed, that's right! I do look quite thin, but that's because all my family members are like that, as thin as bamboo poles, they can't get fat, it's a genetic issue, there's no way to change it! Besides, we don't have enough to eat, isn't it normal to be this hungry? Have you ever looked at any farmer's family, how many of them are fat and big-eared? There's no comparison!"
The three of them thought about it and realized that it made sense; aren't all girls quite thin and frail?
But one of them had another question: "I still don't understand. The person we were supposed to kill is dead, so how did you become our target?"
Su Nanxi gave the man a thumbs up, praising him for being a smart person. "You've come to the right place! The person you were trying to kill was seriously injured and wouldn't survive. I happened to be stealing something, and to avoid being discovered, I impersonated him. I didn't expect my acting to be so good; I managed to fool him. When I found the girl who was hiding, I discovered she was already dead! In the end, I had no choice but to secretly carry her to the mountains at night and bury her! Unfortunately, I couldn't get away with it!"
"You mean, you took that person's identity and continued to live like that?"
"Yes! That's brilliant! That's it!"
"How can we believe what you're saying is true? Tell us where the person is buried so we can go check and report back!"
"It was the middle of the night, in the mountains, pitch black, and I was so worried I couldn't remember where I buried him! Believe it or not! Anyway, he is definitely dead, completely dead! You yourselves found out, he was seriously injured. Do you think they had the resources to save him in a farmhouse?"
"But if we didn't even see it, it's hard to explain!"
"There are no 'buts'! Now that I understand your situation, I'm telling you the truth out of kindness. Whether you believe it or not is none of my business! I don't expect you to believe me!"
Su Nanxi suddenly turned hostile, and the three of them instantly came to their senses. They were now like fish on a chopping board!
It's none of their business what they say; whether she believes it or not is none of her concern!
But wasn't she just being nice to talk to? How come she turned on you so easily?
Su Nanxi doesn't care about their feelings. When has she ever been easy to talk to? Don't be fooled!
"Your mission was to kill, and now that the person is dead, how they died doesn't matter! You can go back and report. I think you know what to say now: I'm not the person you were supposed to kill, so don't bring me any more assassins! Otherwise, if I'm lucky enough to survive, then it's your death day!"
Su Nanxi was too lazy to waste words with these people, but she couldn't kill them.
The killer's death will alert the person behind her, making them wary and prepare to deal with her!
That's a huge problem!
Since she doesn't know who's behind this, she needs some time to investigate!
Of course, we can't just let them go back and spread rumors.
Su Nanxi took out another bottle, shook out a few pills, and then roughly stuffed them into the mouths of the three men, warning them, "Don't even think about spitting them out. If you dare to spit them out, I'll force them all down your throats in a moment!"
The three of them dared not spit it out and obediently swallowed it. They had no choice but to swallow it; they couldn't even hide in a crevice. Once the bamboo tube of water was poured down, everything was gone.
They were all puzzled as to how the bamboo tube could never be filled to the end.
Once they arrived, the three of them basically guessed what Su Nanxi was doing.
This is such a familiar routine, such a familiar tactic!
Without a doubt, they were given a lethal drug and forced to do things!
Sure enough, Su Nanxi began to speak in a low voice.
"You're all trained, so you should understand what's going on. I won't say much more. I have no other requirements. Just go back and tell the truth: you completed the mission, and the person is definitely dead! Don't say anything else. I want to live a peaceful life and don't want you to bother me with fighting and killing! If you know what's good for you and want to live, do as I say. Otherwise, I can't save you!"
Someone asked, "What did you feed us? Can it be cured? How?"
Su Nanxi was preparing to retreat, packing her cloth bag without looking up. "That's top-grade poison! Good stuff! I don't have many left! As long as you say what you should say, you'll be fine. But if you say too much or too little, you might not be able to stay up all night! There's no antidote! As long as you don't say anything reckless, you'll be fine! If you don't believe me, one of you can try it!"
The three men's expressions changed drastically. They only had one life; one try and they would be gone!
You can't risk your life like that!
They haven't recovered yet. If they still don't believe it, they're just plain stupid!
This medicine is so potent, I dare not try it!
Try it and you'll die!
"Then could you cure the poison we were poisoned with?"
"No! This is the price you pay for trying to kill me! If you want to save your lives, then leave now, because there are crops here that will poison you!"
