Ye Junfei drew his sword and instantly dispatched several assassins nearby.
Just as he was about to chase after her to help, he heard Lin Xiuyan call out, "Qingwan!"
Ye Qingwan responded. The two of them had already fought several rounds together, showing excellent teamwork.
Ye Junfei was far away and had no idea what they were up to.
He was still guessing when he saw something fly out of Huo Youye Qingwan's hand.
The flame flickered in the air for only a moment before igniting at an extremely fast speed.
Then Lin Xiuyan blew a strong breath into the air, and with a loud bang, the surroundings turned into a sea of fire.
The dozens of assassins chasing them were all burned to the ground in an instant.
The entire operation of the Good Command took only a split second, so fast it was astonishing.
After doing all this, Ye Qingwan was breathing heavily.
Just now, Lin Xiuyan, using various methods, had already killed nearly a hundred assassins behind her.
The assassins had even shot arrows at them, but Lin Xiuyan did something to put up a sign behind them that blocked the arrows.
After this wave of men was wiped out, there weren't many assassins left following behind them.
There are probably only about ten people left in total.
If Princess Pingnan were to see this scene, she might be so angry that she would vomit blood.
Lin Xiuyan was also panting. She pointed at the assassins running from another path and said, "Come on over here!"
The assassins had just witnessed her using a variety of methods to kill their companions.
Some were poisoned, some were shot with arrows, and some were burned to death; the methods were varied and bizarre.
Although they were trained by Princess Pingnan to be fearless, that did not mean they were unafraid of death.
Most importantly, they had absolutely no idea what methods Lin Xiuyan would use to deal with them.
They have carried out many missions and killed many people over the years, but they have never encountered someone like Lin Xiuyan.
It seems that wherever she goes, even the air can help her kill.
At this moment, she stood there fiercely with her hands on her hips, shouting for them to come over. Although they were only a dozen feet apart, they didn't dare to go over.
They not only dared not go over, but also took a few steps back.
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "You're in danger behind you. Come here, and I'll spare your lives."
Ye Qingwan found this somewhat amusing. They had been driven mad by these assassins before, and now, although their numbers were small, they had been terrified.
Ye Qingwan had always regretted not being able to deal with the Xuanzi Camp with Lin Xiuyan, but today's events completely made up for that regret.
She also said to the assassins, "Come here! We promise we won't kill you!"
Besides the original Fifth Miss, the Fourth Young Master also chose to help them.
That's why they dragged the Fourth Young Master along with them and ran away together.
During their escape, Lin Xiuyan made some very strange requests of them from time to time:
For example, taking down the lanterns from under the eaves, or hugging the vase in the corner...
After those things were handed to Lin Xiuyan, she could always take out some strange things from them.
Those strange objects were transformed into various weapons in Lin Xiuyan's hands, helping them kill many assassins following behind them.
They had initially thought they were doomed to die today, but after running all the way, they suddenly realized that they might not actually be going to die.
This feeling is somewhat mysterious and strange, yet it also possesses an irresistible excitement.
Ye Qingwan finally understood what Lin Xiuyan's treasure was:
After moving into the Prince's Mansion, Lin Xiuyan did not remain idle. She placed the various weapons she had made in different corners of the mansion.
Those weapons, though called weapons, were just small, insignificant things to them; most people wouldn't know what they were used for.
But once those things fall into Lin Xiuyan's hands, they become tools that take lives.
Lin Xiuyan made such arrangements because of that night when she didn't have many weapons at hand, only a powerful crossbow.
If she had run out of arrows in that crossbow, she might have been in serious trouble.
The Prince's residence was an extremely dangerous place, and she didn't know when the Prince of Pingnan and the Princess of Pingnan would make a move against her.
Her past life's cautiousness made her feel that she needed to plan ahead.
So, in addition to hiding various weapon parts in inconspicuous corners of the palace, she also placed some special items with considerable destructive power.
The route she took when she led Ye Qingwan and her group to escape may have seemed chaotic, but it was actually carefully planned by her.
This escape route would allow them to obtain weapons and also ambush the assassins based on the terrain.
There were actually several mistakes in the process, but she reacted quickly and made timely corrections, so no major losses were caused.
It was because of those few mistakes that they were chased quite badly by the assassins, and in the end they had to take out her large shield to protect everyone.
The surviving assassins stared intently at her, their eyes filled with intense killing intent, yet also with deep apprehension.
Lin Xiuyan's breathing had calmed down a bit. She pointed at them and laughed, "Aren't you really coming over?"
"If you don't come over, we're leaving!"
The assassins had very mixed feelings. What they thought would be a simple task turned out to be much more difficult than expected.
If they let her go now, their mission would be considered a failure, and Princess Pingnan would certainly not let them off the hook.
But if we chase after her, who knows what kind of murderous trick she might pull next?
One of them took a few steps forward, and Lin Xiuyan's lips curled slightly: "You look like you've lost your parents, I think you're quite pitiful."
"I'm a kind-hearted person and I can't stand seeing others suffer. How about I tell your fortune?"
The assassin didn't speak, but gripped the knife in his hand tighter.
Lin Xiuyan's smile deepened: "This divination is free, so don't be nervous."
After she finished speaking, she looked at his face with a serious expression and said, "Your forehead is dark, which is a sign that you are doomed to die."
"You must not turn back now, or you will die!"
Her saying such things at this time is truly chilling.
Upon hearing her words, the assassin instinctively turned his head to look.
Just as he turned his head, his throat was slit with a sword.
The assassin's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he saw Ye Junfei's smiling face.
Lin Xiuyan chuckled and said, "I told you not to turn back, but you insisted on turning back!"
The assassin fell heavily to the ground, blood pooling everywhere.
Her offer to tell the killer's fortune was merely a distraction.
