Chapter 96 The Taste Is Wrong
Xia Xing'er tore off the invisibility talisman and slowly walked out of the shadows. The moonlight outlined her cold figure, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Her figure wandered between the moonlight and the shadows, and every step seemed to step on the tense nerves of the five people.
"Everyone, you are still discussing important matters so late at night. You are really diligent."
Her voice was clear and melodious, like the farthest star in the night sky, distant yet carrying a radiance that could not be ignored.
The five men's eyes widened, and the weapons in their hands trembled slightly due to shock, almost unable to hold them steady.
Xia Xing'er waved her hand lightly, and ripples seemed to appear in the air. The weapons in the hands of the five people fell to the ground with a clang at the same time.
Xia Xing'er was rude and attacked them directly?
Xia Xing'er's figure was as fast as lightning, shuttling between the five people. Her punches were fierce, and each blow landed accurately on the opponent's vital points. Although she did not use internal force, her ferocity and speed made the five people overwhelmed.
Their faces and arms were hit one after another, and the pain made their faces distorted, but they couldn't even squeeze out a complete wail.
One person tried to escape from Xia Xing'er's attack, but just as he took a step, Xia Xing'er gave him a roundhouse kick and kicked him back to the spot. He collapsed to the ground, and in the dust, only his terrified gasps remained.
Seeing this, the other four people had a flash of despair in their eyes. They fled in all directions, trying to distract Xia Xing'er's attention, but Xia Xing'er seemed to have eyes on her back. She flashed and appeared in front of another person. The wind from her palm was whistling, and she knocked the person back and directly hit the closed door. There was a loud "bang" and wood chips flew everywhere. The door was actually embedded into the wall by her knock, and the five people's retreat was completely blocked.
The five people's legs went limp with fear and they collapsed to the ground, their eyes filled with horror and helplessness.
Xia Xing'er walked slowly closer. In the moonlight, her figure was like a ghost, and every step she took stepped on the trembling heartstrings of the five people.
Her eyes were as cold as ice, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if she was looking at a group of ants.
One of them tried to beg for mercy, but the sound was blown away by a gust of wind, leaving only intermittent whimpers.
Xia Xing'er said coldly, "If you want to live, I can give you a chance. As long as you tell me what private property your prince has, whoever tells more and tells better, I will consider letting him go. How about it?"
Xia Xing'er's words were as cold as ice, giving the five people a glimmer of hope.
In the moonlight, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning the people lying on the ground one by one.
One of them spoke first, his lips trembling, his voice as thin as a mosquito: "The prince has a secret manor on the outskirts of the east city, there is..."
As he spoke, he looked up, his eyes flashing with the desire to survive.
Xia Xing'er raised the corner of her mouth slightly, stretched out her finger and pointed. The air around the man seemed to freeze, and then a breeze blew past, and his mouth involuntarily revealed more secrets quickly.
Seeing this, the other four people also rushed to speak, fearing that they would miss this only chance to survive. The room was suddenly filled with chaotic and rapid voices of informants, like fallen leaves drifting in the night wind.
Xia Xing'er got the information she wanted, but she still had to go to work. Time was tight, so she just delayed.
Xia Xing'er's eyes became even colder. She raised her hand slightly, and a strong wind swept past. The five people felt a black screen before their eyes, and then they lost consciousness and fell to the ground, lifeless like dead fish, ending their lives directly.
Xia Xing'er was still very interested in the house of King Ruyang in Younan Mountain. She decided to go there, maybe she would get something unexpected.
This time, while Prince Ruyang and his cronies were dreaming, their private property was taken away bit by bit.
Early the next morning, Prince Ruyang woke up from the ground wearing only his cheap undergarments.
He looked around the room in confusion. His carved bed was gone, and even his quilt was gone.
While he was still confused, the housekeeper crawled to the main house.
"My Lord, this is bad, this is bad..."
"The thief ran into our house and killed all five staff members in the east wing."
Prince Ruyang suddenly woke up from his daze and said in shock: "What did you say?"
"That thief emptied our mansion again and even killed the staff in the east wing. I wonder if the thief had a change of heart and let us go."
King Ruyang never thought that even though he had been so low-key and had hidden here, he would still be targeted by the thief.
He pretended to be poor, dismissed his concubines and servants, and wore coarse clothes every day.
He didn't even bother to put on his clothes and just wanted to go and take a look. Before he walked out the door, a servant came in again.
"Your Highness, our house has been emptied again!"
"Prince Younanshan is gone!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Ruyang's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
When the sky was turning pale, Xia Xing'er returned home with a full load. She had not expected that what she had looted that night was more than twice what she had collected that night at Ruyang Palace.
Who could have imagined that a prince would actually print private money?
No wonder she found the Prince of Ruyang's Mansion quite rich the last time she plundered it, and he wondered how a prince could be so rich.
This time, Xia Xing'er not only moved all the people from Younan Mountain, but also got evidence that Prince Ruyang had minted money privately.
Once she has time to think it over, she will give all the evidence to the dog emperor and let them fight each other.
The more muddied the waters in the capital, the better. This would give the Xia family more time.
Once they arrive at the place of exile, they can accumulate strength for rebellion.
Anyway, the blame has been placed on her Xia family, so she might as well make it true.
Only when the Xia family has a say can they stop being bullied.
After another day of walking, we finally arrived at the next post station to rest in the evening.
Tonight the Xia family is having a meal of goose stewed in an iron pot, and everyone is having hot pot together.
All the ingredients are ready, just add whatever you want to eat.
“It smells so good!”
"Aww, it's so delicious!"
The goose meat is stewing in the iron pot, emitting an enticing aroma. A few slices of green onion float on the golden soup, adding a bit of freshness.
Xia Xing'er picked up a piece of goose meat. The meat was plump and tender, and the skin was shining with an attractive oily luster.
She gently placed the goose meat into the sauce bowl in front of her and dipped it lightly. The spicy aroma of the sauce and the deliciousness of the goose meat blended instantly.
Then, she took a bite, and the juices of the goose meat burst out in her mouth. The meat was delicate but not dry, plump but not greasy. Paired with the spicy sauce, it was so delicious that she couldn't help but squint her eyes, and even her speech became slurred: "Hmm... This goose meat is so delicious, it's simply a delicacy on earth!"
"Hey, no, this tastes wrong!"
Xia Qingyu heard her mumbling and asked, "No, what's wrong?"
