Faced with Feng Zixuan's accountability, the man frightenedly knelt on the ground, trembling, looking extremely frightened.
"Sir, I... I, a humble servant, have witnessed your demeanor while fleeing. I think you are very similar to the officials I have seen."
"Besides, I have a sense of awe for you, the official. That's why I stopped your carriage because I know you won't make things difficult for me."
The man's words were sincere and sympathetic, but if you ignore the murderous intent that flashed in his eyes, they would be more convincing.
Feng Zixuan tightened the hilt of the knife in his hand and answered the man's previous question calmly.
"This is the road to Meijiang Village." Feng Zixuan noticed a flash of surprise in the man's eyes.
He continued probingly, "They don't accept refugees anymore. I wonder why you went to Meijiang Village?"
The man didn't try to hide his disapproval, "Sir, I'm just going to stay with my relatives."
"I just came back from there. What's the name of the relative you're staying with? Maybe I know him." Feng Zixuan got to the bottom of it.
A look of impatience flashed across the man's face, but thinking of the mission he had to carry out, he had to feign compromising with Feng Zixuan for so long.
But if I don't tell the other party a name, it will arouse their suspicion, but of course I can't tell them the mission objective, so I made up a name.
"He's my benefactor. I was on the run before, and thanks to him, I've managed to survive until now."
The man avoided the main point and changed the subject. Feng Zixuan was calm and waited with a smile on his face.
The man knew Feng Zixuan wouldn't give up, so he had no choice but to continue his nonsense, "My benefactor is called Chi Yan, he..."
Feng Zixuan sneered, "Red Flame?"
Su Sijin’s fiery red fox?
A favor from a beast?
Even nonsense should be investigated thoroughly!
The man didn't realize that his made-up name had accelerated his own downfall, and he nodded seriously, "Yes, he said his name was Chiyan."
Feng Zixuan snorted coldly. A beast could talk and speak nonsense, which made people want to deal with him.
Feng Zixuan did not disappoint the man. He showed murderous intent. By the time the man noticed something was wrong, Feng Zixuan's sword was already in front of him.
The man's instinct for survival allowed him to narrowly avoid Feng Zixuan's attack, and Feng Tao also joined the ranks of those trying to kill the man.
The man knew he was exposed, so he pulled out a sword from his crutch and started a duel with Feng Tao.
The two men fought back and forth, and at first they were evenly matched. Gradually, Feng Tao gained the upper hand and subdued the man with a flying kick.
"Hurry, remove his jaw." Feng Zixuan screamed.
Feng Tao immediately removed his jaw and found a grain of poison in his tooth.
"My lord, it's a dead soldier."
Only a death warrior would bite the poison in his mouth and commit suicide when his crime is exposed, in order to ensure respect for his master.
Feng Zixuan's face was solemn. He saw the fear in the man's eyes. Feng Zixuan knew that the man was really scared.
But he knew that they were not afraid of falling into his hands, but they were afraid of facing a body dominated by poison and the heart-wrenching pain.
Compared to the process of the poison taking effect without an antidote, death is actually a relief for him.
Because sometimes, living is harder than dying.
Feng Zixuan snorted coldly and reached for the man's collar.
“Crash!”
The man's shirt was completely open, and his fair skin formed a sharp contrast with the exposed dark skin.
Feng Tao looked at the eagle tattoo on the man's chest and said in shock, "Sir, he is a death warrior from the palace."
Why did the palace send assassins to infiltrate Ganzhou Prefecture?
Why did they go straight to Meijiang Village so blatantly?
There are no remarkable people in Meijiang Village?
Could it be that he is coming for Su Sijin?
Yes, before Su Sijin and others came to Meijiang Village, there were no houses in Meijiang Village. After Su Sijin settled in Meijiang Village, he built two docks.
"You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you." When the man saw the situation was exposed, he knew there was no possibility of survival and just wanted to have some fun.
Feng Zixuan sneered and said sarcastically, "Death? It's not that easy, but..."
Feng Zixuan paused deliberately, and the man was fooled. "But what?"
"As long as you tell us who the company ordered you to assassinate, we'll let you go."
The man hung his head, looking ready to die, and said, "I have no goal. I just went to see my good brother."
"Humph, you probably don't know that Chi Yan is a little beast!"
Feng Zixuan no longer dealt with the man. The man went to Meijiang Village and came from the palace, so it was obvious who his target was.
There is no reason to hold on to it. Since he doesn't want to say it, then don't say it. But some pain still needs to be experienced.
He wanted to let him know what it felt like to live a life worse than death.
Since the investigation has reached Meijiang Village, has Lu Changgong's information been leaked to the palace?
Lu Changgong didn't tell him, how to contact him?
If he knew the contact method, he would definitely inform the palace of the action.
"Sir, should we take this man back to the government office or notify Meijiang Village?"
After all, this man came for Meijiang Village. He felt that Meijiang Village had the right to know the existence of danger. It was also a reminder to Su Sijin of the crisis from the palace, so that she could make plans early.
Feng Zixuan shook his head. "No need. Just keep it secret. Go back and examine it carefully to see if you can dig out something."
