Chapter 144 The killer is here, and the killing weapon is here too
Xie Yanyan slept in until about 8 o'clock. When she woke up, she saw Xie Anfeng coming to bring her breakfast. He said that Xie Ning had cooked some more porridge for her and Xu Wenrong.
Qing Jin used some of it and said to Xie Yanyan, "Miss Xie, I won't stay any longer after the letter is delivered. I'll go back first, and I'll send you new news if there is any."
After Qing Jin left, Xie Yanyan immediately told Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong about Prince Xi's recent movements.
Xu Wenrong frowned and said, "Fu Rui is narrow-minded and will never achieve great things. Even if he wants to be promoted, he should focus on fighting against foreign enemies at this time."
Xie Anfeng said: "Foreign enemies are difficult to fight. He is afraid that the wealth he has accumulated will be wasted on Your Majesty or the Crown Prince, so he wants to take the throne first and then kill the enemy."
"Chen Jingyao is brave and good at fighting. He is also a Grand Marshal with a large army. Once the army crosses the river, it will be difficult for the King of Nanhai to resist."
In order to protect himself, the King of Nanhai has been paying increasingly heavy tributes to the imperial court over the years. His financial resources are limited, and if a real war breaks out, the King of Nanhai will be no match for the imperial army.
"It's hard to say," Xie Anfeng said, "Who knows how strong the King of Nanhai is? The last time the prince killed a level 7 assassin from the army, he only used one move. I can't defeat the enemy with one move, and I may even be unable to defeat a level 7 assassin. But everyone in Kyoto knows that he is a playboy."
"War is different. It doesn't depend on individual strength. In the end, it all comes down to food and supplies."
Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong talked about the affairs of the world, both feeling a little emotional. The court was in chaos again, and it might be a good thing for them to be exiled.
Xie Yanyan did not interrupt, thinking about this history in his heart. During the Former Qin Dynasty, Emperor Xuanwen's reign was considered stable, but when he passed away, the entire territory was in chaos again.
The chaos lasted for decades.
Being exiled to Lingnan was truly a blessing from God.
But when she and Zhou Shaoyu went on a trip to the northwest, she still felt concerned about him.
If the imperial army really confronts the King of Nanhai, its destruction is inevitable if no other kings come to its aid.
She has helped King Nanhai seize all of Chen Jingyao's supplies, so the crisis should be resolved temporarily.
"I'm going to go see my sister-in-law and the baby." She opened her umbrella and went to see the baby.
After the hurricane passed, although it was still raining, the city gates were open as usual, and people came to the city wearing straw raincoats and carrying baskets or pushing carts to sell vegetables.
Xie Yanyan looked at those wheelbarrows and was very curious. This was probably Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and flowing horse, right? In her previous life, it was the 22nd century, an era of rapid technological development, and this kind of wheelbarrow was completely gone.
Do you want to get one and ask Xiaomei for some benefits?
[They are in Yongxing City, I don’t know which inn they are in]
[If the Crown Prince Zhou is not around, Xie Anfeng is nothing to be afraid of]
Xie Yanyan looked over immediately and saw a middle-aged man pushing a wheelbarrow in the heavy rain. He was wearing a bamboo hat and his eyes were darting around.
What does shocked mean?
The three of them were too conspicuous. The middle-aged man saw her and Xie Anfeng almost instantly and stopped hesitantly.
"Xie An, General?" the middle-aged man shouted tentatively.
"Who are you?" Xie Anfeng was not sure if he knew this person.
If you can ask this, then it must be correct!
The man parked the cart and swiftly threw away the basket of vegetables. He instantly grasped a pair of eight-cut knives in his hands and stabbed towards Xie Yanyan with lightning speed.
Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong screamed at the same time.
"Yan'er!"
"younger sister!"
Xie Yanyan instinctively dived into the space in an instant.
A black shadow rushed out with a flash of cold light and a cold wind. Before the middle-aged man raised his two swords, the head had already fallen to the ground.
Two more cold lights flashed, and the man's arms flew out, and his body was cut in half.
The middle-aged man's head fell to the ground, his eyes widened, his mouth opened and closed: "What a fast knife!"
The danger was over, and Xie Yanyan immediately moved out of the space again.
"Ah, murder!"
There were several sharp screams, and someone on the street shouted, "Go call the police!"
Xie Yanyan clasped his hands in front of him and looked at the three people in front of him.
Xie Anfeng held the Tang sword across his chest, and Xu Wenrong held the sword in a posture as if he would chop down at any time.
As for the other one, he had a terrifying Mo Dao slanted at his side, and his usually handsome and sunny face was cold and angry.
It was he who cut off the killer's head.
She was still in shock, but when she saw him, she felt at ease.
The assassins sent by King Xi arrived, and her ultimate weapon also arrived.
No need to ask why he came so timely, it’s good that he came.
Xu Wenrong and Xie Anfeng were military generals, and they both immediately felt Zhou Shaoyu's sudden surge of murderous aura.
Where did Prince Zhou come from?
“Don’t look at him!” Zhou Shaoyu immediately blocked Xie Yanyan’s view of the corpse, and his stern face softened. “You and General Xie go back to the inn, I’ll come find you later!”
Prefect Yan and the bailiffs had already rushed over. Lingnan was a desolate place, but killing people in the street in broad daylight was still too abominable.
Xu Wenrong immediately cupped his hands and said, "Sir Yan, I killed this thief. He wanted to kill my sister."
Prefect Yan looked at him and then at Xie Yanyan who was about to leave. Wasn't this the girl who argued with him that "carp is not a fish"?
"What's going on?" Prefect Yan said to Xu Wenrong sternly, "Killing people in the street in broad daylight and disturbing the people is against the law."
Zhou Shaoyu handed the Mo Dao to Zhou Jin to hold for him, pointed at the body parts on the ground and said to Governor Yan: "He, Scorpion, was a fugitive from Hujiang, Lingnan. His original name was Yang Sandao. He escaped five years ago and joined the Northern Palace to recruit mercenaries. He is now a level 9 assassin."
When Governor Yan heard this, he was shocked: "He is Yang Sandao? Lingnan has been looking for him for years, but I didn't expect that he would become a mercenary."
In that case, just kill him!
Prefect Yan heaved a sigh of relief and said to the yamen runner beside him, "Call the coroner and contact Lingnan Hujiang. Yang Sandao has been caught. Well, he is dead. Ask them to come and take him away."
The corner of the bailiff's mouth twitched when he heard what Prefect Yan said.
People have been killed so many times, and you still want to lead them?
Prefect Yan looked at these people and asked tentatively, "Where are you from? How did you offend Yang Sandao?"
"I am the prince of the South Sea. I was originally looking for General Xie for something. On the way, I met Yang Sandao. At that time, I saw that he was in a hurry and was heading to Lingnan, so I chased after him."
When he saw Yang Sandao rob a farmer's wheelbarrow and sneak into the inn, he was curious and followed him to see what he was going to do. He didn't expect that he wanted to kill Miss Xie San.
"Yang Sandao was killed by this prince." Zhou Shaoyu said straightforwardly, "Sir Yan, this prince killed a bad guy, shouldn't you give him a reward?"
Prefect Yan thought to himself that the imperial court was all trying to attack the King of Nanhai, and he wanted to exchange you for a bounty!
"I will definitely get the reward for the prince." Looking at the body that was broken into several pieces, Governor Yan was terrified and said tactfully, "How long will the prince stay here?"
"When you give the bounty, I will leave."
Prefect Yan asked tentatively, "Has the prince not visited the Nanhai Palace?"
"I have seen it! His Majesty asked me to investigate the people's sentiments on behalf of the Emperor, but he did not ask me to stay in the Nanhai Palace."
Prefect Yan frowned. What was King Xi doing? Wasn't he going to attack the King of Nanhai? Why did he send Crown Prince Zhou to investigate the people's sentiments?
It seems that it was King Xi's idea to attack the King of Nanhai, not Your Majesty's idea.
Then he just turned a blind eye!
