After dealing with An Er, Xu Jinhuan narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at the people on the field leisurely through the raindrops. She flexibly turned the huge long sword in her hand, and the wind from the sword hit the face of the person in front fiercely.
Those people covered their faces instantly. Even though there was no contact, they felt a burning sensation on their faces, as if they had just been slapped.
"Go, or die? If you don't decide, I'll make the decision for you."
Xu Jinhuan looked at everyone with a bright smile and lightly flicked the blade with his fingers.
That smile was extremely bright, but everyone looking at that smile felt as if they were standing in an icy cave. The murderous intent emanating from it made everyone feel terrified.
Many villagers silently took two steps back, and even most of the secret guards took a step back because of the inexplicable feeling.
As they retreated, they did not forget to pull over their companions who had not reacted yet.
There were only two village chiefs and their supporters still standing stubbornly at the front. After hearing the noise, they turned back suddenly and found that most people had chosen to retreat.
"Village chief, if I can't go back to the village, then don't go back. I don't want to die!"
"Village chief, I have a 60-year-old mother and a 7-year-old son. I can take risks, but my mother cannot live without her son, and my son cannot live without his father."
"Village chief, you can charge ahead if you want, but we won't risk our lives with you!"
After the villagers finished speaking, they turned around and left with their families.
The village chief looked at the person standing next to him, then looked at the person leaving, and finally could only follow them dejectedly.
What else can I do if I don't leave? There are so few people here now, I can't even fish in troubled waters!
The secret guards watched the villagers leave, then looked at Xu Jinhuan who was still smiling. Just one glance gave them goose bumps on their arms.
"Brother, shall we retreat?"
A secret guard asked the bruised and battered An Er, but he actually already had the answer in his mind.
An Er looked at the group of secret guards behind him with disdain. He thought that since An Yi was accompanying his master this time and could not come over, he could take this opportunity to complete the task successfully and show face in front of his master.
But who could have thought that these well-trained secret guards would be frightened and retreat when they saw a little girl. They were even worse than him. At least they had a fight.
I really don't know what's so scary about them. Isn't it just that she's a little stronger, her beatings hurt a little more, her aura is a little more murderous, and her smile is a little more creepy...
While thinking this, An Er whispered, "Retreat. The situation is not right now. A head-on confrontation is the worst option. Let's go back and discuss it first."
After saying that, the secret guards also withdrew.
The spies and guards from various mansions standing at the outermost edge looked at each other in confusion. What was going on?
Why do they feel like they have been fooled by the Fifth Prince? Could it be that this action was deliberately revealed by the Fifth Prince?
Those people just now were actually subordinates of the Fifth Prince. Is the purpose of doing this to catch them all in one fell swoop?
The more the spies thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong. Each force left one person behind to continue the investigation, and the rest prepared to go down the mountain.
Xu Jinhuan watched everyone leave and put his sword back into the scabbard in a cool manner. He didn't expect that so many people didn't even take action. It was really boring.
"Boss Xu is so awesome!"
The guards felt proud to see that Xu Jinhuan scared away those people by himself, and they shouted loudly.
Xu Jinhuan waved his hand and said in a gentle tone: "This is just the first wave of people. I don't know how many more will come later. I hope you will all stand outside for a few more days."
The guard shook his head repeatedly, indicating that it was not hard at all.
"Boss Xu, you've done so much for us. If we find it tiring to even patrol, we'd be truly heartless."
"Yes, Boss Xu, don't worry, as long as we are here, we will never let those people take advantage of us!"
Xu Jinhuan was very happy to see the guards doing their job so diligently. She turned to Xie Datou and said.
"Big Head, remember to prepare more meat for the brothers. Only when they are full will they have the strength to patrol.
Also, ask Dani to prepare some ginger soup so that everyone can drink a bowl before and after patrol to avoid catching a cold."
Xie Datou immediately bowed in response, turned around and walked towards the mountain village.
After listening to Xu Jinhuan's arrangements, the guards felt even warmer in their hearts. Their original choice was indeed correct. Boss Xu is really the best boss!
After Xu Jinhuan finished arranging all these, she did not return to the mountain stronghold immediately. She quietly walked down the mountain. The spies had not been dealt with yet.
Xu Jinhuan used his invisibility ability to quietly follow a pair of spies, listening to their whispers.
"If we report this to the prince, will he believe it?"
"How can I not believe it? I think it was the Fifth Prince who used a shady trick to deliberately transfer us out of the capital. He might have done something secretly."
“Well, what you said makes sense. I think that mountain stronghold might be the base of the fifth prince. They detained the exiles there just to wait for us to take the bait!
Didn’t the prince fall for his trick before? "
The more they talked, the more they felt that what they said made sense, and they all had determined looks on their faces.
Xu Jinhuan quietly moved away from them. She didn't want to be infected with their stupid habits.
Could it be that the prince has no capable people under his command, that he actually sent out a few cucumbers, not afraid of getting himself killed?
Xu Jinhuan actually guessed right about this point. Because of the prince's secret killing of the imperial guards, he was not only confined to his house but also dismissed from his official position.
If it weren't for the imperial censor who threatened to die to persuade him, he would have almost lost his position as crown prince.
Even if he managed to keep this position, the people in the court were all shrewd. Everyone knew that the prince no longer had the emperor's favor. If he was not removed once, there was no guarantee that there would not be a second time.
Therefore, many fence-sitters have plans to develop new employers. In addition, Cheng Junnian's vitals were injured, and he was busy seeing doctors every day and had no time to handle official business.
This caused the prince's subordinates to panic, and everyone thought that their business was about to go bankrupt. Many talented people left, leading to the current situation.
After listening to what these spies said and summarizing the information, Xu Jinhuan knew that there would be no threat to her, so she continued to move forward. After all, there was still a group of people ahead.
Not long after, another wave of spies were seen. These spies were obviously veterans and smarter than those cucumbers just now.
"Go back and tell the Fourth Prince that something is wrong with the group of people on the mountain, but don't tell him to worry too much. The head of the family will help him solve this problem. No one on the mountain will survive."
The spy said this in a sinister tone, then seemed to remember something and said.
"The head of the family also asked me to help convey a message, telling the Fourth Prince not to worry about these trivial matters. What he needs to do now is to secure his position and successfully become the Crown Prince."
"Yes, I understand!"
The invisible Xu Jinhuan sneered. It was the Wu family again. It was really a narrow road for enemies. They wanted to deal with her? Okay, then she would deal with them first!
