Chapter 124: The one with the big stone wins
Wang Zhen deduced that Xie Yanyan was a variable in Prince Xi's bid for the throne.
Either accept her as one of your own, or kill her and remove the obstacle!
It is impossible for Prince Xi and Xie Yanyan to reconcile, let alone become his people.
So King Xi ordered Caiyu to get rid of Xie Yanyan.
Caiyu placed the order, but now received information that the mercenary army sent a seventh-level killer, who was killed by Zhou Shaoyu.
Zhou Shaoyu chopped a seventh-level mercenary expert into three pieces with just two strikes before he could even make a move.
He also sent someone to deliver Mu Liu's head to King Xi, indicating that he had guessed that the assassination was related to the prince.
In order to thank Yanyan, Zhou Shaoyu not only exposed his true strength which he had hidden for ten years, but also directly provoked King Xi.
Caiyu immediately decided that anyone who blocked her path would be killed, and this day next year would be the anniversary of Prince Zhou’s death!
When the mercenaries of the Northern Palace heard that they wanted to kill Zhou Shaoyu, they immediately offered a price: they would not do it if it was less than 500,000 taels of silver.
Caiyu: Damn it, blackmail! After the prince ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to eliminate the mercenaries.
Caiyu had no money, so she went to see Governor He again to discuss getting the money and placing the order immediately.
"600,000 taels of silver to kill two people? Caiyu, do you think that I, the governor, am the coin minter? A skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Now, I, the governor, do not have a single tael of silver or a single grain of food. It's time to take out the prince's private collection, right?" If you want to seize the throne, you must have the capital. Do you want to start a rebellion by making big promises?
Caiyu: "These two men must be killed, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted. The prince is in need of money and people, so he can't take care of the governor for the time being. You should make plans for the prince. After the success, you will naturally be rich and prosperous."
Governor He rubbed his unshaven face, sighed, and said, "This governor has no way out. The only plan now is to kill these two people. I will personally lead the people to kill them."
Caiyu said, "I will go with the commander-in-chief."
According to intelligence, General He knew that Zhou Shaoyu, Zhou Jin, and Xie Anfeng, who were beside Xie Yanyan, were all masters who could fight against a hundred enemies alone. He stroked his long spear and said to his trusted generals, "Go, recruit 1,000 people from the Tiger Roar Camp."
Soon, the confidant selected 1,000 elite soldiers from the Tiger Roar Camp.
Governor He stood in front of them and said calmly, "We are going to catch some rebels today. If we see them, we will kill them without mercy."

Xu Wenrong and Xie Yanyan left Chang'an City smoothly, and no one chased them.
But Xu Wenrong did not dare to let his guard down for a moment.
Xie Yanyan did not dare to take it lightly. He came out of Chang'an and quietly moved all the movable rocks from Mount Li outside the city into the space.
"Cousin, let's go to Xianyang. I want to buy some local specialties." That's the capital of the greatest emperor in history. We must go and see it.
Well, she would never say that it was because there was a bigger Huangfu rice shop in Xianyang.
I heard that during this locust plague, Huangfu family, the largest grain merchant among the 16 countries, did not donate a single grain of food!
The reason was that the company had been unable to operate due to multiple thefts and a broken capital chain. Competitors saw this and took the opportunity to suppress the company. The company did not declare bankruptcy, but it was already paralyzed.
Xu Wenrong turned his horse around and headed for Xianyang.
Xie Yanyan went to check out almost everything she saw on the streets of Xianyang, including the tiger-skin candies that the First Emperor liked, the local woven fabrics of Wugong, the colorful paper-cuts of Xunyi, the cloth tigers of Ganzhou...she would buy out all the goods from every stall that she took a fancy to.
I also bought a lot of food, such as pot cakes, roast chicken, and oil pie (thousand-layer cake)...
She looked at lacquerware, ancient coins, swords, various bottles and jars, and rattan tools, and bought some of them.
The carriage was soon filled.
Xu Wenrong watched her buy these things, but he didn't know what they were for, but he bought whatever his cousin wanted.
Xie Yanyan took the time to make two bowls of fruit salad, one for herself and one for Xu Wenrong: "Cousin, eat something cool to cool off."
Xu Wenrong watched her eating in the street calmly and without any affectation of a girl from the boudoir, and secretly admired her.
When leaving Xianyang City, Xu Wenrong didn't know that several major and minor events had happened in Xianyang City that day.
There were many vendors on the street, and the things they were selling disappeared in the blink of an eye, but the corresponding large coins or silver were placed on the stalls, not a penny more or less.
The Huangfu family rice shop in Xianyang was not so lucky. The common people saw through the open gate that the shop owner was sitting in the yard, crying: "It's over, it's all over. This is the last of the Huangfu family's assets."
The two men left Xianyang and headed for Yaoguan.
Five miles outside the city, in the midst of billowing dust, a group of cavalrymen galloped on fast horses, their spears and swords sharp as frost. The general in front was wearing black iron armor, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Xu Wenrong hurriedly drove the carriage to the side.
Originally, Xie Yanyan and Xu Wenrong didn't pay much attention to them. In those turbulent times, it was normal to see cavalry in the Northwest.
However, among the people whizzing past, Caiyu suddenly reined in her horse, "whimper", turned around, and saw Xu Wenrong driving the carriage with a straw hat on.
She is a secret guard and is the best at identifying people!
Xu Wenrong!!
Without saying a word, she reined in the horse with one hand and held the sword with the other, urging the horse forward, with murderous aura coming towards her.
Without saying a word, Xu Wenrong stopped his horse, grabbed Tang Hengdao in an instant, stepped on the carriage, and went forward to meet him.
Xie Yanyan did not lift the curtain to come out, but released his mental power frantically.
Caiyu, the black-faced girl beside Xie Xiangxiang, the martial arts master.
Governor He, the highest commander in the Northwest.
Is this to kill yourself?
Just start killing without saying anything?
The hairs on her body stood up. Are these King Xi's troops?
In a flash, Caiyu had already rushed towards Xu Wenrong. Xu Wenrong knew that he could not escape, so he shouted loudly: "Sister, ride a horse, go!"
Governor He reined in his horse and shouted, "Turn around! These are the two rebels we want to kill! Kill them!"
It was a critical moment and the boulder didn't even have time to fall.
"change!"
She and Xu Wenrong, along with the car, moved into the three-dimensional space. Fearing that Xu Wenrong might become suspicious, she sealed off his five senses.
He and the carriage instantly turned 3,000 meters away.
"receive!"
In an instant, all the weapons and mounts of the warlord and the 1,000 elite soldiers of the Tiger Roar Battalion disappeared!!
"Big Rock! Dust~"
Ten thousand meters high, huge rocks poured out from Mount Li.
All the sand and dust that were originally collected from the desert to be used as building fillers were thrown out. The billowing dust blocked Xu Wenrong's sight, and even blocked the sight of Governor He and Caiyu.
Bang, bang ...
In the chaos, Governor He, Caiyu and their trusted generals were all blinded by the dust and threw stones continuously and accurately, causing their brains to flow out.
As for the other soldiers, Xie Yanyan let them go.
The people below all listen to their superiors and are just pitiful cannon fodder.
After smashing, all the big stones are collected and the mosquitoes are given away.
She turned the carriage into space and turned again 3,500 meters towards Yaoguan. The total movement was 6,500 meters, 13 miles away.
The death of the warlord and his entourage is related to her? Bring me the evidence.
Xu Wenrong was turned out and leaned against the wall of the carriage, and the Tang sword was placed on the carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, calm and composed, eating a bowl of cold noodles.
Xu Wenrong suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up.
Xie Yanyan glanced at him calmly: "Awake?"
Xu Wenrong: "I fell asleep?"
"What else? Fight with others?"
“…”
