Chapter 163 I Can Afford Whatever You Want
"Batu, when you first came to us and told us this was a big deal, I thought you were waiting for your wife's rebellion to succeed and give us a city to make us rich. Are you just going to give us some money? That's not enough for us to risk being beheaded and hunted down to assassinate Princess Lan Ning."
The words spoken by one of the Mamba warriors made the other people involved in the action nod their heads repeatedly.
Lan Ning is surrounded by many experts. They have already lost five excellent warriors in this attempt. If they continue, they may lose everything. They are not stupid. A little gold and silver cannot compare to the effort they put into training these warriors.
In order to get the entire Mamba tribe to come out in full force, they must pay an equal amount of benefits.
Batu smiled and said, "I know what you want to say. The price our wife mentioned naturally includes our own. As long as you can kill Lan Ning, we will agree to any request you make."
They have gathered the most precious orcs in the world. They are about to have the most powerful team, the most powerful orcs. The future Empress Wan Jing is nothing but a stumbling block on their road to success.
Just kick it away.
If Lan Ning said these arrogant words in front of them, he would probably laugh at them for dreaming.
However, the conditions offered by Yixiantian are indeed tempting.
The Mambas are a highly poisonous tribe and are not welcome anywhere.
Although they have surrendered to Wan Jing, they always do some shady business in private. They have assassinated many wives within the borders of Wan Jing and have long been regarded as a serious threat by Queen Wan Jing.
The assassination has already been carried out. Once the news is known to Queen Wanjing, they will have no good days in Wanjing Kingdom.
Instead of doing it all, it would be better to just do something big, so that no one would hold them accountable for the assassination of Lan Ning.
"Batu, did your wife really say that?" They were indeed tempted by this condition. They, the Mamba snake tribe, were always looked down upon, and this was also an opportunity to hold their heads high.
Batu looked arrogant, "Of course."
He looked so confident that those who were still hesitating made up their minds.
"Okay!" Then they would do it once, and while Lan Ning entered the capital city, they would kill all of them directly.
-
Station.
After changing to another room and sleeping for a while, Lan Ning found that his sleep paralysis had been relieved, at least his hands and feet could feel better.
She knew that this room was safe, and she smelled the familiar scent on Jingye. She tried but couldn't move, so she just fell asleep.
She didn't know that the capital city was very lively tonight. Those famous assassins were lying in ambush in the city, waiting for her to enter and kill.
The next day, Lan Ning slowly opened his eyes when he heard a knock on the door.
There was no trace of Jingye around her any longer, but there was a faint scent of orchids floating in the air, which suggested that Jingye had just left not long ago.
"Xiao Liu, what time is it now?" Lan Ning felt that he had slept for a very long time. He sat up and looked around in confusion. The puppet palace maid standing by hurried forward and brought Lan Ning's clothes.
Perfect Xiaoliu: "Master, according to the real time, it is already eleven o'clock."
He just heard Xuan Mo say something while Lan Ning was sleeping.
Perfect Xiaoliu: "Xuan Mo came to see you just now. He might have said that you are not well yet, so we can leave later. Jingye and the others have already gone to the front to find a place to stay."
The soldiers they brought with them this time were not allowed to enter the city. Usually, Jing Ye would lead the large army to find a place to camp fifty miles ahead of the destination and wait until Lan Ning finished her business before setting off again. Today was no exception.
But obviously because of last night's assassination, Jing Ye kept almost half of the people.
When Lan Ning got dressed and went out, she saw Xuan Mo standing in front of the soldiers, talking to a wolf soldier with Liang Chen. The cat ears in her hair moved, and she heard Xuan Mo say that the soldiers' stationed today was outside the city.
What is going to happen?
Just now when he was changing clothes inside, Lan Ning checked the information from the capital and the Mamba tribe. The internal relationships of this desert city are really complicated.
"That's all. Let's go down and do it." Xuan Mo had just finished talking about today's arrangements when he noticed a figure approaching stealthily from behind. He pretended not to notice Lan Ning's presence and smiled as he told Liang Chen about the interesting things that happened in the capital.
Liang Chen's mind was full of those people who tried to assassinate Lan Ning last night. He had already found out clearly that most of them were assassins hired by traitors, whose purpose was to kill Lan Ning and cause civil unrest in Wanjing.
However, he felt that what was more terrifying than those assassins was Xuan Mo, a man who had planned everything without leaving anything out.
Not to mention the assassins of the Xuanmang tribe who had been killed, let's just talk about the road approaching the capital. He had seen Xuan Mo instructing the wolf soldiers to do things more than once. They were all planning the security, and what happened afterwards seemed to have been arranged by Xuan Mo in advance.
It's really terrible.
Liang Chen sighed slowly, and he said why Xuan Mo, a person with low fighting ability, was chosen by Lan Ning. It turned out that it was because he was smart.
If it were him, he wouldn't have thought about it so carefully.
"But according to what you said, there must be assassins in the capital. Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to go in with such a small number of people?" Liang Chen had never experienced a formal assassination, but based on what happened last night, he was really afraid that he would accidentally involve Lan Ning, a weakling.
Although, the assassin was indeed coming for her.
"No." Xuan Mo had naturally thought about this question, but what he cared more about now was how many people in the capital had rebelled.
He was just thinking about whether to send a message to Xuan Heng when he was hugged by the people behind him. The well-fed and well-rested little princess poked her head out from behind him and asked them curiously, "What are you talking about? When are we leaving for the capital?"
When Liang Chen saw that she was only hugging Xuan Mo and not himself, his face was instantly filled with unhappiness.
"We may encounter rebels when we enter the capital this time." Xuan Mo said slowly. He pulled the person behind him into his arms. If there was anything they were most worried about, it was Lan Ning, a little cat with low fighting power.
It is Wan Jing’s rule that soldiers cannot be brought into the city. As the princess’ husbands, they naturally will not take the initiative to break this rule.
Early this morning, Xuan Mo wrote a letter directly to the mayor of Congdu City, saying that the princess was assassinated in her Congdu City last night, but she has not received a reply yet.
That's why they separated half of their troops and took them to the outside of the capital.
As for the other half, they meant to hide them at another city gate.
"I know." Lan Ning could tell from what happened last night that this trip into the city would not be peaceful. This place was already very far away from Wanjing City. To the east and west were the cities of the Black Python Clan and the Wolf Clan, and further away were the Crane Clan and the sea.
Lan Ning's planned route was to go to the nearest Black Python Clan after finishing his business in the capital, and then go to the Wolf Clan and walk along the sea. Now it seems that he has to stay here for some more days.
