Chapter 165 Can’t leave anymore
Xuan Mo also had this conjecture.
If they did not have a stable source of financial support, how could the Ancient Beast Tribe have lurked in the Realm of Beasts for so long?
"It seems like they want to take out all this time and take our lives." Xuan Mo couldn't help but sigh. Although he didn't know how much money they had on hand, Heng Yue had already come out!
This must be a big business.
"Let's block the water with earth!" Lan Ning sat obediently in the car. There were many assassins in the city, and they would only take action in the city lord's mansion. They wanted to confirm whether his wife and master from the capital were safe.
After all, in front of the empress, the wife's performance was quite remarkable, and at least for now she had no intention of rebelling.
The carriage slowly headed towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. When Lan Ning was bored, he would lift the curtain to look outside. Other cities were busiest during the day, but this was the capital...
It really makes people feel desolate, even with the yellow sand wind blowing from time to time... It doesn't look like this city is as prosperous as Xuan Mo described.
Lan Ning stared at it for a while, and a feeling of "the wind is whistling and the Yi River is cold, the hero will never come back" arose in his heart.
What bad luck.
She quickly closed the curtain, leaned in Xuan Mo's arms, and waited silently for the destination.
The assassination was imminent, and some people were still thinking about saving face. At least they had to watch Lan Ning walk into the city lord's residence to facilitate their actions, right? So as soon as they received the news from the city gate, the assassins who sneaked into the city lord's residence early in the morning to kidnap his wife, ambushed everywhere.
Lan Ning sensed the undisguised murderous intent the moment she got off the car. She raised her eyes and looked at the middle-aged man standing at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion with a hypocritical smile. Based on the cold aura on him, she knew that this man was from the Mamba snake clan.
It is all thanks to Xuan Mo that her passive skills have been perfected.
She pretended to know nothing and let Liang Chen hold her hand. The man standing on the steps hurried down to greet her with a smile.
"Greetings, Princess Lan Ning. I am a servant from the capital's city lord's mansion. I received an order from my mistress, and came specially to greet you at the door." The smile on the middle-aged man's face was not sincere, and there was even a lot of disdain on it. He emphasized the word "specially" when he spoke.
As if they were afraid that Lan Ning couldn't see that they were planning a rebellion.
"When I came here, I heard people say that the night market in Congdu City is the most prosperous. I thought that everyone around my wife in Congdu City is good at managing the city, but you..." Lan Ning smiled. She looked up and down at the man in front of her, "It doesn't seem like you can help my wife manage it."
The man sensed the contempt in Lan Ning's eyes. His smile became a little colder, and his gray eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Oh? Then what do I look like?"
Lan Ning looked at the wide-open City Lord's Mansion. In broad daylight, not even a single servant could be seen. It was hard not to suspect that something had happened inside.
She smiled meaningfully and told everything she knew, "I also heard that there is a particularly well-known assassin organization in the capital!"
After he finished speaking, the expression on the man's face became even gloomier. When he met Lan Ning's clear sapphire eyes, he felt for a moment that Lan Ning had actually guessed their identities.
On second thought, I thought it was impossible.
Their action was so sudden that even his wife in the capital did not notice it. The interval between the assassination last night and now was not long. How could Lan Ning and his group have thought that these Mamba people did not leave the city?
This woman must be trying to blow up their identities!
It is just as the people around Fu Rou’s wife said, cunning!
The man calmly hinted to his brothers who were lying in ambush nearby that they had originally planned to lure Lan Ning into the City Lord's Mansion and then kill him, so that he would not be exposed and Wan Jing would not receive the news late.
If Lan Ning revealed their identities right here, I would be very sorry, but this woman would definitely die on the steps of the City Lord's Mansion in the capital city!
The man had already touched the knife hidden in his sleeve, but he saw the stunning woman in front of him suddenly move closer to him and said seriously, "But seeing that you are dressed so neatly, you must be a master in the city lord's mansion. Did your wife from the capital city know that we were assassinated in the place under her jurisdiction and specially sent you to pick us up?"
what?
The man's sinister expression paused and he couldn't help but frown. Could it be that this princess was fake?
The atmosphere was so quiet that it looked like a fight was about to break out, and there were hardly any people walking around. There was obviously something wrong!
"Then take me in quickly!" Lan Ning seemed to be unaware of it. The two people who followed her closely had the same expression. They did not look at all as cunning as Heng Yue described!
Could it be that the stinky fox deceived him?
The man couldn't help but curse Heng Yue fiercely in his heart. If he had known that this group of people were so stupid, why would he pretend to be nervous? Just take them in, find a sack and kill them.
"Yes, come with me." The man was too lazy to disguise himself. He gave a look to his brothers who were ambushing in the dark, and walked into the City Lord's Mansion with a group of people.
He didn't even look back, so he naturally didn't know that the distance between him and Lan Ning and his group was getting farther and farther, until... a hand pierced his chest.
"Tsk, could you be more discreet when you do this? What if Lan Ning sees it? She's so fragile!" Liang Chen hugged Lan Ning in his arms the moment Jing Ye made his move, blocking her view.
I don’t know what kind of image Lan Ning has in his eyes, he even took the risk alone!
"I've seen this kind of scene before. You don't have to block my view." Lan Ning hastily pushed him away. "I heard from Xuan Mo that these assassins are very cunning. You have to protect your back. I will run away if I encounter danger."
She has no special abilities, but she can run.
Liang Chen glared at her unhappily. He had forgotten Lan Ning's previous experience at this moment. He just felt that this scene was too bloody. Lan Ning, such a delicate little cat, couldn't bear to watch it. Who would have thought that she would actually push him away? ? ?
"You!" Liang Chen had no choice but to keep the person by his side, his pair of black eyes looking around vigilantly.
The assassins were following behind them, and when they saw Jing Ye appearing out of nowhere and taking action, they rushed forward one by one with knives in their hands. They knew that it would be difficult to deal with these three men, so they all rushed towards Lan Ning.
Seeing this, Liang Chen was even more afraid to let go of Lan Ning and let her run away by herself.
"Hide behind me and don't run around!" Liang Chen quickly dealt with the assassin in front of him and kicked away those who tried to pounce on him.
Lan Ning: “…”
She nervously looked at the assassins rushing towards her. Once they started to attack, there would be no safe place in this mansion. When she just entered the room, she was still wondering if her wife from the capital would betray her.
Seeing that there was no normal person in the yard, she could basically conclude that the wife was probably being held hostage.
If the fight continues like this, I'm afraid the wife's life will be in danger.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have already made arrangements. In a short while, we will be able to completely control the capital city." Jing Ye slapped the assassin in front of him away, and did not forget to comfort Lan Ning.
