Upon hearing this, Cheng Junnian quickly took a few steps back, only then noticing that Lei Tingjun's leg was injured.

However, because of the recent landslide, Cheng Junnian subconsciously assumed that Lei Tingjun was injured at that time.

Thinking of this, he became even angrier. "You, Lei Tingjun, you're trying to drag someone down with you when you're injured!"

And it doesn't hurt anything else, but it hurts my manhood. Are you jealous that I can do it seven times a night?

Although Cheng Junnian was furious, he knew that in his current state, it wouldn't be easy for him to defeat Lei Tingjun's guard.

Therefore, he hastily left behind the words, "Lei Tingjun, you just wait, I'm going to make a despicable person like you pay the price!"

After making those harsh remarks, Cheng Junnian immediately slipped away.

His behavior completely enraged Lei Tingjun, who angrily cursed him.

"Cheng Junnian, who do you think you are? You're nothing but a lackey of the Crown Prince, yet you dare to call me a villain?!"

Looking at the injury on his calf, Lei Tingjun's face darkened even more, as if ink could drip from it.

"Dark One, kill him without regard for the consequences!"

However, after Lei Tingjun issued the order, An Yi, who was usually obedient, did not act immediately.

An Yi's eyes were filled with contempt for Lei Tingjun. He felt that such a volatile and easily angered enemy was not even worthy of carrying his master's shoes.

I don’t know what my master thinks highly of him, that makes him stay next to a grumpy chicken every day. What trouble can he cause except to crow when he’s grumpy?

Despite his disdain, An Yi still made up a lie for his master's sake.

“Master, there is only one of my guards here. If we go after him, we will leave you here alone. If we encounter the Imperial Guards, wouldn’t that be dangerous?”

"It is my duty to protect your personal safety, and at this time, I have no choice but to disobey your orders."

Hearing An Yi's reasonable, well-founded, and compassionate words, Lei Tingjun was no longer so angry.

"Then take me back to the capital to get medical treatment first. As for Cheng Junnian and the Crown Prince, I will personally send them to the Yellow Springs!"

Lei Tingjun said with a gloomy expression.

An ignored him, ignoring his words and focusing intently on his work.

After carrying Lei Tingjun on his back, An Yi used his lightness skill to rush towards the dilapidated temple.

Meanwhile, Xu Jinhuan had already received a system notification and gained a brief understanding of the current situation.

[Ding ding, congratulations host for completing the hidden forces mission ① Stirring up the forces in the capital. The Wu family, the crown prince, and the male protagonist have officially started their struggle. Please continue your efforts and try to reap the benefits!]

The reward for completing the mission is: a 100-person master-servant contract (one-time simplified version).

A contract between a hundred masters and servants?

Signing contracts with 100 people at once? That's incredible!

Xu Jinhuan had heard his own system nag about how the master-servant contract was a binding contract imbued with the power of the Heavenly Dao, and even the system would find it difficult to obtain.

I never expected to get such a great reward for such a small task!

Xu Jinhuan smiled and opened the item's instructions, wanting to see if there were any restrictions on its use.

【100-Person Master-Servant Contract (One-Time Simplified Version): One master-servant contract can be signed by more than 200 people. Servants can simply sign their names. Masters have the right to decide the life and death of their servants.

Valid for: 29 minutes and 45 seconds.

After reading it, Xu Jinhuan stood up from her chair. This system really shouldn't be praised too much, otherwise it will let her down!

Xu Jinhuan put on his raincoat, pushed open the door, and hurried to Xie Datou's room.

"Big Head, quickly gather everyone for me, I have something to say!"

Xie Datou immediately accepted the order, but then hesitated and asked, "Boss, should we call the people from the woodshed?"

Although Xu Jinhuan disliked those people, she didn't want them to escape her control and cause her trouble during this period, so she nodded directly.

“Summon them. If they refuse to come, you don’t need to tell me. Just kill them on the spot.”

After receiving the order, Xie Datou led his constables to announce Xu Jinhuan's notice from house to house.

"What, is there something else to talk about? How many do you think will die this time?"

"Hey, can you please stop saying such scary things? I don't think Miss Xu is the kind of person who kills people randomly. There was a reason for what happened last time."

"Didn't you hear that loud noise up the mountain? I bet Boss Xu is looking for us to talk about this."

As everyone was discussing this, the person who had initially excitedly suggested that a few people would die walked up to Xie Datou and asked in confusion.

"Lord Xie, do you know what Aunt Xu... Elder Xu wanted to do with everyone?"

Xie Datou had been observing him since he opened his mouth, and after confirming that he was the kind of person who loved to watch the drama unfold, he said with a cold face.

"Is this all you have left to live? Why are you so eager to know the outcome? Are you in a hurry to die?"

After being scolded by Xie Datou, the man didn't dare to get angry. Instead, he smiled obsequiously and said, "Lord Xie, I spoke without thinking. I deserve to be beaten!"

Xie Datou simply rolled his eyes at him and continued to greet others.

Soon, everyone gathered again in the largest room.

"Do you know why we were called here this time?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? Do you want to end up like that Lin family member, getting scolded by Lord Xie for being tired of living?"

"That's right, there's no use in finding out early. We might as well just stand here quietly and wait for Boss Xu to say something later."

This statement resonated with many people.

Therefore, when Xu Jinhuan arrived, he saw that most people were standing quietly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Jinhuan leisurely walked to the most eye-catching position of the leader.

Xu Jinhuan casually tossed her clothes and sat down on the tiger-skin chair. After slowly scanning the room, she finally spoke.

"I suppose everyone already knows about the landslide."

Everyone nodded in unison; the sound was so loud it made their hearts ache, making it impossible for them not to understand.

Thinking of this, her admiration for Xu Jinhuan grew even stronger.

If it weren't for Boss Xu making them move here, the dilapidated temple not far from the mountains would certainly have perished after the landslide.

Despite the admiration of the crowd, Xu Jinhuan remained calm and continued, "Taking advantage of this landslide, I dealt with the Crown Prince's Imperial Guards and caused him a little trouble."

"For the time being, at least during the period we're in the village, he won't have time to come back."

After Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, the eyes of the exiled group lit up, and they cheered excitedly.

"Brother Xu is awesome!"

"Boss Xu, you're amazing!"

"Following Boss Xu was the best decision I ever made in my life!"

Xu Jinhuan waved her hand to quiet them down, then snapped her fingers.

Xie Datou respectfully carried the items and walked towards Xu Jinhuan's side.
