Those people in the palace would stop at nothing to take Xie Zhun's life.
These condemned prisoners on the ground, having committed countless atrocities, could also be used as executioners...
Simply because in their eyes, Xie Zhun deserved to die even more!
Even though they share the same surname and have the same blood within three generations.
Xie Zhun tugged at Chun Jiao, speechless.
Ning Xi'er wanted to pull her hand away; right now, immediately, she was going to beat everyone on the ground to a pulp...
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhun let go of her hand, but just before she turned around, he tightened his grip on her other hand to loosen it.
Ning Xi'er struggled a couple of times, but Xie Zhun didn't let go. Instead, he asked, "Is there any more sleeping potion?"
Ning Xi'er nodded.
Xie Zhun said, "Give me two more bottles of angelica and licorice, a little more. Go back to your place..."
Even Ning Xi'er couldn't help but turn her head, expressing her doubt.
Is this not the end of the story, and is there going to be another wave?!
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Xu, Xuanfeng, Xuanshuang, and the others quickly alerted their surroundings.
Although Ning Xi'er didn't understand, she immediately did as instructed.
He took out six bottles of sleeping potion from his spatial storage and handed them to Bai Zhi and Gan Cao respectively, instructing them to stand where they had sealed the openings and continue to release the sleeping potion into the air.
Once Ning Xi'er's other hand had been massaged enough, Xie Zhun naturally let go.
Ning Xi'er squatted down next to Zheng Ye, and held the bottle of stimulant medicine under the noses of the four leaders, sniffing it...
In just a short while, the four leaders woke up one by one.
Seeing the current situation clearly and recalling the scene before the movement, his eyes were full of vigilance and caution.
Zheng Ye grabbed one man by the collar, lifted him up, and demanded:
"Speak! Who sent you?!"
Since there are death row inmates, they must be involved with the government.
Even if the masterminds behind this are only a small group, who exactly are the pawns...?
We should investigate this thoroughly in order to prepare a proper response.
The person being lifted up looked somewhat flustered, but their teeth seemed to be clenched tightly.
Zheng Ye finished the drinks for the other three people one by one, but still did not get the answer he wanted.
Ning Xi'er retrieved hallucinogenic datura pollen from her spatial storage, preparing to use it...
Sensing footsteps ahead, Xuanfeng warned, "The camp soldiers are coming."
Everyone looked up, even the four leaders couldn't help but gaze into the distance...
In the darkness, shadowy figures walked toward them in unison.
Xuanfeng and Zheng Ye initially estimated that there were at least three hundred people.
As they got closer, they realized that the leader was Meng Yi.
They were menacing, leading over three hundred soldiers.
Xie Zhun tilted his head slightly, looking at the checkpoint and the location of the barracks.
The guards were still soldiers who stood like two wooden stakes.
The rooms in the camp remained dark, and not a single person could be seen.
The three hundred or so people in front of me seemed to appear suddenly, like ghosts.
Zheng Ye stood up and stood with Ning Xi'er...
Xuan Lei pushed Xie Zhun and walked to Ning Xi'er's side.
Before Eunuch Xu could ask any questions, Meng Yi had already walked up to him.
He glanced at the men in black on the ground and saw that their masks had been torn off, and half of their faces were tattooed with characters...
Meng Yi waved to the side, and soldiers immediately stepped forward to check, examining each person's breath. They knelt down and reported to Meng Yi that everyone was alive.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yi revealed a cruel smile.
He walked straight into the group of men in black and drew his sword...
He stabbed her with the knife!
The death row inmate, still unconscious, breathed his last before he could even groan or cry out in pain!
After wiping both sides of the knife clean on the man in black, Meng Yi didn't even look up and gave the order directly:
"Those with tattoos on their faces, leave no one alive!"
His words were casual and ordinary, as if he were instructing his subordinates to cut a melon.
But this sent chills down the spines of the four leaders kneeling beside him.
Pingyuan and the desolate region had close ties; even though they weren't of high rank, they were often dispatched by the county magistrate to run errands in person...
I was secretly overjoyed when I saw Meng Yi leading his troops over, thinking I was saved...
But they dared not openly ask for help, otherwise it would expose that the assassination was related to Meng Yi and his group...
But seeing the death row inmates being killed one by one, they realized there was another possibility...
Meng Yi might not save them; on the contrary, killing them and framing the convicts would be a convenient way to use force...
Therefore, when Meng Yi looked directly at the leader of the group, they disregarded everything else and shouted:
Spare me!
"Uncle, it's us!"
......
Meng Yi raised the knife in his hand again.
Just then, Xie Zhun's clear and gentle voice rang out from the side, "Xuanfeng!"
Xuanfeng suddenly stood up, blocking Meng Yi's further actions.
Meng Yi scoffed, clearly not expecting that even with three hundred garrison soldiers, the prisoner would dare to actually fight back...
If they fought back, they would only be giving their opponent a handle to use against them; he could have a thousand reasons to eliminate them...
Of course, the most obvious reason was that a mere few convicts dared to challenge his dignity.
Princess Cheng suffered inexplicable whip marks on her body during their last competition...
He hasn't forgotten a single one!
Since they dare to resist, don't blame him for being ruthless!
Meng Yi sheathed his sword and stood before the soldiers once more.
He sized Xie Zhun up and down, his gaze turning sinister, before looking at Ning Xi'er.
Ning Xi'er's expression wasn't much better.
She was certain that if Meng Yi dared to look at Xie Zhun with that same contemptuous gaze again...
She must have gouged out his eyes and used them as cannon fodder!
Meng Yi clearly sensed the threat, so he temporarily set the other men in black aside...
He raised his arm, his fingers slightly bent, and pointed at Ning Xi'er!
