Gu Nanji waited for a few days, but there was no movement. He thought to himself, "The other party is really patient."
This is what Feng Niaoniao and Shen Feiman had planned. They thought that taking action in Kyoto would be too blatant and too targeted. Once the Murong siblings left Kyoto and before reaching the Salsian territory, if any accidents happened, they could put the blame on others and they would not necessarily be blamed.
"Okay, tomorrow is the day that Murong siblings will leave Kyoto, let's get started." Feng Niaoniao whispered to Chen Feiman.
"Okay, I've found the killer group. We only need this number to take action." Shen Feiman gestured with the number five.
"Fifty taels? No problem, we can come up with it together." Feng Niaoniao didn't expect it to be so expensive.
"What fifty taels? If it was only fifty taels, would I need to tell you? Five hundred taels." Shen Feiman tried not to roll her eyes.
"Five hundred taels, so expensive?" Feng Niaoniao was surprised. Her monthly salary was only five taels, which was considered high among her sisters. The other sisters only received less than half of hers, only two taels...
"Do you want to do it?" Shen Feiman also felt that it was a bit expensive and asked her hesitantly.
"Isn't your father the Minister of War? It wouldn't cost so much money if we send your father's men." Feng Niaoniao suggested.
Shen Feiman shook her head. "You think it's easy. If I send my father's men, won't my father kill me?"
Feng Niaoniao also felt that this was true after hearing this.
"How about this, my mother still has a small shop. It should be okay for me to embezzle some of it. At worst, I can make up for it to her later." Shen Feiman thought for a moment and spoke.
"Okay, I'll also move some public funds from my mother's shop." Feng Niaoniao said, not wanting to be taken advantage of.
The two of them scraped together enough money to hire a killer.
The two of them smiled sinisterly in the direction of the Murong siblings. They were definitely finished this time! Let's see if they still have the guts to compete with them!
Early the next morning, Murong siblings set off with the envoy, carrying a small amount of luggage.
After the carriage drove out of the city gate, it entered a forest.
The killers had been lying in ambush here, waiting for the best opportunity to strike.
When the carriage passed through a narrow path, the killers suddenly appeared and attacked the carriage.
Murong Jinyi and his companions sensed the danger and immediately jumped off the carriage to fight with the killer.
However, the killers were numerous and well-trained masters, and the Murong siblings gradually fell into a disadvantage.
At the critical moment, Gu Nanji arrived with a group of people and joined the battle.
Together with Murong's siblings, they resisted the killers and eventually wiped them all out, leaving a few alive.
Murong Jinyi looked at Gu Nanji and asked, "Why are you here?"
Gu Nanji put away his halberd and said to her, "I have already made it clear to His Majesty that your journey may be dangerous. I request to escort you out of the capital until you safely reach the territory of the Sals people."
Murong Jinyi nodded, "Thank you."
Gu Nanji checked several people and found that no one was injured and no one had a scratch.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around and interrogated the survivors, "Tell me, who sent you here?"
Although those survivors were skilled in martial arts, their tendons in their hands and feet had been cut by the people brought by Gu Nanji, and they were now twitching in pain on the ground.
"There were two girls, their faces covered. They gave us 500 taels and said we wanted to take their lives." One of them couldn't stand the torture and told the truth directly.
Gu Nanji knew who it was the moment he heard it. Murong Jinyi's mouth twitched slightly. "I'm not saying, but the women of Yinwei Country are too petty! Isn't it just a little argument, but it's so serious that it ends up killing someone?"
Gu Nanji did not answer.
If they had not arrived in time, Murong Jinyi and Murong Guiyi would have been injured or even killed by now as they were outnumbered.
Gu Nanji couldn't imagine it.
He had a gloomy face as if he was thinking about something.
"Didn't you say you would escort us? Let's go and don't delay here." Murong Jinyi said indifferently.
Gu Nanji looked at her and asked, "You are not angry at all. Don't you want revenge?"
"I'm angry, but now is not the time for revenge, and their revenge is still to come. For them, marrying a man they don't like is better than killing them." Murong Jinyi said coldly.
Gu Nanji had an idea after hearing this.
"Let's go." Gu Nanji grabbed the reins and jumped on the horse.
Murong Jinyi glanced at him and saw that he seemed confident, so he went back to the carriage.
Gu Beijian received a letter at night, which read:
Brother, I need your help this time.
Find out who is the mastermind behind hiring assassins to kill Murong Jinyi and others, but I suspect it was Feng Niaoniao and Shen Feimang.
If it's them, I hope my brother can lend me a hand and let them marry someone they don't like and end their life.
If it's someone else, pay it back tenfold.
Gu Beijian gathered his sleeves and said that this family couldn't do without him.
Two days later, Gu Beijian found out that the murderers behind the scenes were Shen Feiman and Feng Niaoniao.
The two men embezzled public funds from their mother's shop and hired someone to kill someone.
Gu Beijian thought that he could just let them get over it and marry someone they didn't like. Wasn't that too easy for them?
Gu Beijian is a person who always follows the principle of "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me, but if someone offends me, I will definitely offend them." He is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment.
Gu Beijian instructed his men to find an unknown person to hire a killer to kill Feng Niaoniao and disfigure Chen Feiman. His request was not high. He just wanted ten times what they asked for from Murong Jinyi and Murong Guiyi. And then he could let the unknown person marry them.
