He kowtowed three times with a loud thud!
"I am Bian Du! I have been an orphan since I was a child! I am grateful to the Commandant of the County for taking me in. Now I have repaid his kindness. From now on, I am willing to serve you both like a slave to repay the life-saving grace and to avenge my father!"
"I hope you two won't find me dull!"
Lin Ru never expected that this person would kneel down and kowtow repeatedly!
However, he is a grateful person!
It was worth all the spiritual water she used!
She personally helped Bian Du up!
"Alright! Get up now. We didn't save you so you could be our slave!"
"And we won't tie you down for life because of this!"
"Go back to the barracks and stay there!"
"There might be other things in the future that require your cooperation!"
"But don't worry! Everything I've done is in the best interests of Heaven and Earth, and in the best interests of the people!"
Bian Du never expected that he would hear these words from a little girl!
He looked up and met the eyes of the little girl in front of him!
He actually saw the aura of a superior in this little girl!
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: If this woman were a man, she would surely make a name for herself in this chaotic world!
Lin Ru could see the regret in Bian Du's eyes!
She smiled, not caring at all!
Because she wants to gradually reveal her strength in the battles to come!
Make these people truly convinced!
After settling Bian Du in, she disguised herself and hurried toward the main hall!
If anything goes wrong, Ji Wenxuan would already be in the main hall, wrestling with the prefect's wife!
Lin Ru carefully observed the area outside the main hall courtyard and found that there were far fewer guards around!
The experts who were killed by Wu Ling and his group that day are no threat whatsoever!
She quietly jumped onto a nearby tree, taking in the entire layout below!
She discovered that Wu Fei, along with some members of the Wu clan and a group of unfamiliar people, were lying in ambush nearby. Those people must be officers and soldiers from the military camp!
Wu Fei clearly noticed the unusual movement on Lin Ru's side. When he glanced at her with a cold eye, he realized that the person was his own clan leader, and only then did he feel relieved!
Lin Ru smiled at him, then winked at him!
The two were quite in sync, and he roughly understood what the clan leader meant!
So he quickly nodded!
Only then did Lin Ru feel relieved and begin eavesdropping!
Tensions are now running high inside, and the prefect's wife is demanding power!
Upon hearing her words, Ji Wenxuan instantly transformed into a boy with a forced smile! Without any attempt to appease her, he retorted, "Madam Prefect, you are joking! My position as Commandant of the Prefecture was personally bestowed by the Prefect! There's even an official appointment document!"
"Although the selection of the prefectural commander should be made by someone from the capital!"
"However, these are extraordinary times, and extraordinary measures are needed!"
"And even if they want me to hand over my troops, the governor himself has to tell me that!"
"Women have never been involved in politics! Doesn't Your Excellency know this?"
The prefect's wife choked and her face turned red. Where could she go to get the prefect to talk to her in person?
Are you suggesting we dig him out of the coffin?!
She thought to herself that she was right after all; once a person has power, there will be variables, making them uncontrollable!
Fortunately, she knew the man's weakness!
So she threatened him fiercely, "Ji Wenxuan! Don't forget! Your sworn sister is still in my hands! If you don't do as I say, you can forget about ever seeing them again!"
"Don't try to make things difficult for me here!!"
"If I'm not happy, I'll make your whole family unhappy!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ru felt that the time was almost right, so she stopped hiding in the shadows and jumped down from the tree next to her!
Ignoring the guards' threat to draw their swords!
She smiled and clapped!
"Wow! Wow! The Prefect's wife's words really scared me so much my legs were shaking!"
"He really is someone who has been bullying the governor for so many years!"
"They haven't learned anything else, but they've learned how to threaten people very well!"
The governor's wife never expected that this seemingly harmless country bumpkin would actually know martial arts!
Moreover, this person has been hiding so well, and his sudden appearance now suggests he may not have good intentions!
Her heart was in turmoil!
Trembling, his finger pointed at Lin Ru!
"You...you brat, what are you doing here?"
Didn't I tell you not to come out?
"And how do you know martial arts?"
Ji Wenxuan never expected Lin Ru to suddenly appear!
He stood up and walked over!
"Miss Lin! What brings you here?"
Lin Ru smiled as she looked around at the guards who seemed to be on high alert!
"The progress is too slow! I came to urge them to speed things up!"
Upon hearing this, the prefect's wife felt her hair stand on end!
Because she now felt that the voice was very familiar, and especially the figure, which was very similar to the woman who tried to kill her last night!
She immediately realized that she had probably fallen into a trap!
So she quickly said to the guards beside her, "What are you all standing there for?"
"Kill those two right now!"
"This woman is the assassin from that day!"
"Kill them all right now! Quickly!"
Upon hearing this, the guards nearby immediately swarmed forward!
Wu Fei and his men were already waiting on the side!
Hearing the commotion inside, he immediately called to the people behind him and rushed in together!
First, subdue all the guards at the gate! Then, engage the experts inside in fierce combat!
These people were completely bewildered by the sudden appearance of Wu Fei and his group!
Why didn't the guards outside notice these people's presence, and instead allowed them to enter the inner courtyard?
The governor's wife was utterly astonished by this sudden turn of events!
Lin Ru walked towards the Prefect's wife with a smile on her face!
When the prefect's wife saw her enter, she retreated as if she had seen a demon!
As she retreated, she was about to grab the weapon in her hand and smash it!
Lin Ru quickly took the vase, then pulled a dagger from her waist, rushed over, and slit the throat of the prefect's wife!
She said to the woman who was about to breathe her last, "It's not good to break vases so easily! Especially since this vase is mine, it's even worse!"
As the system announcement echoed in Lin Ru's mind, the Prefect's wife breathed her last without uttering a single word!
Upon seeing that their mistress had stopped breathing, the experts in the courtyard lost their will to continue fighting and fled in all directions!
But what they didn't know was that even more enemies were waiting outside to greet them!
Lin Ru sat in the main seat of the main hall, listening to the screams outside, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief!
When Ji Wenxuan finished dealing with the matters outside and walked in, he saw Lin Ru sitting in the main seat with great presence, as if she was born to sit in the superior position!
