Chapter 303 Rules
The carriage kept bumping forward, and the horses, startled by the sudden thunder, ran wildly forward, making it difficult for Wang He to hold onto the reins.
"A thousand households!"
Lin Changning placed the knife directly in the carriage, crawled out, took the reins, and pushed Wang He into the carriage, trying to stop the horse with a little force.
After several attempts, Lin Changning found that the horse was still running wildly forward. He leaped onto the horse's back, reined in the horse, and kept calming it down. After nearly the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the horse's speed gradually decreased.
After completely calming the horse down, Lin Changning sat on its back and reined it in.
After dismounting, Lin Changning opened the carriage door and looked at the unconscious Su Qingyan, feeling somewhat speechless.
The male lead is really hard to kill.
The moment the knife pierced the chest, a warning sounded, and the horse was startled.
But Lin Changning felt that this person couldn't be kept alive. After thinking for a while, he beckoned to Wang He: "Here, take the knife."
You can't kill someone inside the carriage, or you'll startle the horse. So, how about taking the person outside?
After much deliberation, Lin Changning decided to try again, but this time he wouldn't do it himself; he would let Wang He do the knife.
Lin Changning dragged Su Qingyan out of the carriage with one hand and carried her into the woods next to it.
Wang He was somewhat confused, but Lin Changning was his superior, and he did whatever his superior said.
Lin Changning looked at the empty forest, threw Su Qingyan on the ground, and looked at Wang He seriously: "Stab him in the heart."
Wang He: "Huh?"
Thinking about the present moment, some people's hearts might grow crooked, Lin Changning added again: "Two stabs on each side, or even more stabs, it's not necessary to make sure you can kill the person."
After speaking, Lin Changning stood quietly to the side, looking at Wang He with a serious expression.
Although Wang He was somewhat confused, his strength lay in his loyalty and obedience.
Seeing Lin Changning's serious expression, he said "Oh" and plunged a knife into Su Qingyan's heart.
Just as the knife was about to touch Su Qingyan's heart, Lin Changning's brow tingled again. This time, not only his brow tingled, but his scalp also tingled slightly.
Lin Changning saw that some of Wang He's hair was slowly floating upwards, and his heart tightened. He quickly knocked the knife out of Wang He's hand and tackled Wang He to the side.
Just as the two fell to the side, another thunderclap sounded out of nowhere, striking the very spot where Wang He had just been standing.
Lin Changning: Damn it! This is definitely the male lead's halo.
Wang He: ? ? ? ?
Wang He's ears rang, and he turned to look at the small, charred crater left by lightning where he had just been standing. His face was pale as he glanced at Lin Changning.
"Thank you, Commander."
If Qianhu hadn't pushed him away just now, he would probably be a pile of charred remains by now.
Thinking back to the thunder that startled the horse during their escape, he suddenly understood why the commander had ordered him to kill so strangely. Looking at the small pit on the ground, he couldn't help but feel that this man was somewhat eerie.
"Commander, this person?"
Wang He couldn't find a suitable adjective for a moment, and Lin Changning sighed: "A demon! Take it back to the prince for punishment."
It seems unlikely that the male protagonist can be killed anytime soon.
Damn it! She was now certain that she probably couldn't kill the male lead.
With a shift in her thinking, Lin Changning couldn't help but reflect. She had relied on ruthlessness to get where she was on the road, so why had she softened her stance after meeting Su Qingyan, almost getting herself into big trouble?
He couldn't help but wonder if his thoughts had been led astray by fate. After thinking for a while, Lin Changning felt something was amiss.
She was supposed to be struck by lightning when she killed the male lead, but conversely, she attacked the female lead's family quite a bit along the way. Why was she unharmed when the female lead's family attacked her?
The female protagonist's eldest brother's academic career was ruined, her second brother, who was a businessman, had his leg broken by her, her own father was punished by law, and the female protagonist was also injured by her.
Lin Changning sat on the ground, stroking his chin and pondering for a while, but he really couldn't figure it out.
After dusting herself off and standing up, Li Mingshu pulled Wang He to her feet, then, with one hand carrying Su Qingyan, slipped back into the carriage. She asked, "I didn't see any dark clouds today, so why the sudden thunder? You had just entered the woods when a bolt of lightning struck your direction. What happened, Xiao Liu?"
Lin Changning glanced at the unconscious Su Qingyan in the carriage with a complicated expression, pointed at him and said, "This person is very strange. Every time I want to kill him, a bolt of lightning strikes me. I just had Wang He try it, and another bolt of lightning struck. He's very eerie."
Li Mingshu's eyes widened suddenly: "You mean this person has supernatural abilities?"
Lin Changning didn't speak; she didn't know how to explain the concept of the male lead's halo to the princess.
Li Mingshu frowned: "Take the person back to Taiyuan. If you can't kill them, just have Father lock them up first. I don't think anything bad will happen."
Lin Changning nodded, pondering the differences between the male and female leads, and what was special about their killing of the two.
Wang He drove smoothly outside, while Lin Changning closed his eyes for a short rest before suddenly opening them wide.
She seemed to understand why she could hit the female lead but not the male lead.
Whether it was breaking the legs of the female protagonist's family members, ruining someone's path to the imperial examination, or having Lin Erniu beaten, she always used the rules of this world.
Lin Erniu tricked his father into bribing the constables, but she caught him red-handed and used the law to cover it up.
Lin Changqing's path to the imperial examinations was ruined because of the rules of this world; his reputation was bad, so no one would recommend him anymore.
As for Lin Changxiao, he was in the right and had also used the rules of this world: the common people should not offend the officials.
Lin Changning had a flash of inspiration and instantly knew how to deal with the male and female protagonists.
If they won't let us kill on the road, then so be it. We'll just go back and hand the people over to the prince and frame them for a crime.
Since the male and female protagonists broke the law, she refused to believe that the heavens could stop him from carrying out justice.
Having figured things out, Lin Changning opened his eyes and felt much clearer.
Yue'er stepped over Su Qingyan on the ground and prepared to climb onto Lin Chaoning using both hands and feet.
Li Mingshu scolded, "Yue'er, Uncle Lin is still injured. You can't be rude."
Lin Changning scooped up Yue'er, who was asking for a hug, and smiled gently at Li Mingshu: "My injuries are mostly healed, it's alright, sister."
After saying that, he pulled Yue'er into his arms. Yue'er opened her bright eyes and looked at Lin Changning, asking, "Uncle Lin? Can you be Yue'er's father?"
Lin Changning was taken aback, somewhat confused by the child's thought process, and asked with a smile, "Why does Yue'er want Uncle Lin to be your daddy?"
Yue'er tugged at Lin Changning's sleeve, her eyes revealing sincerity and expectation: "Because Uncle Lin is very powerful and can protect Mother and Yue'er, so Yue'er likes Uncle Lin and wants Uncle Lin to be her father. A Chou said that a father who can protect Mother and children is a good father."
