The Killer's Cleansing Manual

She saw a group of people gathered around a triangular table in the middle, watching something. She could only see the scene inside through the gaps.

Lin Shanjuan was wearing a light gray dress, with two fluttering notes stuck on her face. She was sitting at one side of the table. There was an area in front of her blocked by a wooden board, with several wooden signs placed on it. She was staring at the wooden signs in front of her.

The same was true for the other two people, except that they had more notes on their faces.

More than half of the onlookers had their faces covered with paper strips, especially the two people standing behind Lin Shanjuan. Judging from their figures, they were probably Qi Zhen and Bai Shu. When they heard the sound and turned back, they saw that their faces were covered with paper strips and their faces could not be seen at all.

"The princess is here? Come quickly." Bai Shu politely pushed others aside to make some space for Ye Xi.

Ye Xi smiled politely and was able to stand behind Lin Shanjuan smoothly. Lin Shanjuan didn't know she was coming yet. He was leaning back in his chair with his arms folded, looking at the two people across from him who were hesitating and laughing.

Ye Xi stood there quietly, wanting to see what this man was doing.

After hesitating for a long time, one of them gently peeled off the paper on his face and threw four wooden signs into the middle, muttering:

"Three belts and one!"

Then, another person also picked up the slips of paper and threw out four of them, his tone full of pride: "Hey! I have this! Take care of it!"

Lin Shanjuan only drew two cards: "King Bomb!"

The two were stunned, and shook their heads with notes hanging all over their faces: "You go out."

Lin Shanjuan smiled slightly and threw out several cards at once, which landed on the table with a clatter: "Straight!"

The two "note men" seemed a little anxious. They picked up the notes and checked the pile of wooden signs thrown out. Then they looked at Lin Shanjuan anxiously, "No!"

Lin Shanjuan threw out the last wooden card, "That's all, shuffle the cards! Don't forget to put the note on them."

The two sighed, "Boss Lin, we have no place to post here. This is no use. Please change someone!"

Lin Shanjuan leaned casually in the chair, crossed his long legs, curled his lips and waved his hand.

"Just change it up, okay? Whoever can stick five stickers on my face gets to give you this deck of cards."

Ye Xi watched for a long time, and with Bai Shu's explanation, he understood the rules of playing cards. After watching for a long time, he became fascinated and began to rehearse Lin Shanjuan's card-playing movements in his mind.

She tilted her head slightly and asked Bai Shu, "What is this wooden sign?"

Bai Shu chuckled, "What Lin Si made is called Dou Dizhu, so Lin Si is the landlord now."

Ye Xi had been fighting on the frontier with her father since she was a child. She had seen many strange things of the southern barbarians and could be considered knowledgeable, but she had never heard of Landlord.

But this thing is indeed interesting. Lin Shanjuan took the last three wooden cards, proving that she was the landlord again.

After watching like this for half an afternoon, Ye Xi finally learned it. Just then, the person on her left was defeated again, so she walked over and sat down without hesitation.

Lin Shanjuan was stunned when he saw her, and then asked in surprise, "When did you come?"

Ye Xi smiled and took the initiative to shuffle the cards: "I'll learn for a while, then I'll come and meet you."

The game started again. After all, Ye Xi was well versed in military tactics. As long as the cards were not too bad, she could hint to the other person to cooperate and win.

An hour later, five notes were stuck on Lin Shanjuan's smooth face, and four were stuck on Ye Xi's face.

But Lin Shanjuan lost five games, which had never happened in so many days. It was a historic breakthrough. Everyone shouted "Princess Annan", which showed how proud they were.

Lin Shanjuan stood up and stretched: "Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to make another one and send it to you when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shu immediately ran to make arrangements. Seeing this, Ye Xi did not refuse and said with a smile, "I wanted to ask you out for a drink, but the sun has already been wasted."

Lin Shanjuan looked at the sky, which was also very dark. "Do you have anything to do tonight?"

Ye Xi shook his head.

Lin Shanjuan walked ahead with his hands behind his back: "It's time for dinner, come on, I'll treat you to the reception building."

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, then followed with a smile.

She was overthinking it. Lin Shanjuan was not angry with her because of Ye Lang's behavior that day. Instead, he didn't care at all.

Ye Xi doesn't have many friends in the capital, and Lin Shanjuan is one of them. If he really becomes estranged from her because of his brother's affairs, she really doesn't know what to do.

The two walked side by side on the street, Qi Zhen and Bai Shu followed behind, deliberately keeping a distance to give them space to chat.

Ye Xi looked at Lin Shanjuan's arm and said, "I made you suffer injustice in the mansion last time. I am here to apologize today."

Lin Shanjuan already knew her intentions and didn't care: "It was me who irritated him in the first place. What does it have to do with you? No need to apologize."

Ye Xi felt warm in her heart: "How is the injury? Is it getting better?"

Lin Shanjuan raised his arm: "Did you see the momentum of my throwing the cards just now?"

Ye Xi couldn't help laughing: "Well, I guess it's fine now."

The reception building wasn't far away, and after a few casual chats, they were already downstairs. Lin Shanjuan requested a private room, while Qi Zhen and Bai Shu found a table in the lobby.

After ordering the dishes, Ye Xi looked at her several times, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Lin Shanjuan realized that neither she nor Ye Xi was the type to beat around the bush, so she simply asked directly.

"What else do you want to say? Why are you hesitating?"

Ye Xi was stunned when he heard this. He lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then raised his head again: "It's nothing serious, it's just... I heard that you haven't been back to the princess's mansion for a few days?"

Lin Shanjuan nodded: "What's wrong?"

Ye Xi looked anxious: "Why not go back? But... there is a conflict... between you and the eldest princess?"

There have been many rumors in the capital recently that the female prince consort has been neglected and the position of prince consort will be replaced soon.

Ye Xi had heard so much from her brother that she couldn't help but worry.

Lin Shanjuan wasn't sure if he should tell the truth in front of Ye Xi, so he just made an excuse: "My relationship with the Princess is fine. I've been playing Landlord lately and I've been so engrossed in it that I've forgotten the time. When I finally remembered to go back, it was already too late. The mansion is under curfew."

Ye Xi seemed to accept this statement. Indeed, she was very easy to deceive.

Lin Shanjuan asked, interrupting her thoughts: "Why are you asking about this? Have all the rumors in the capital reached your training ground?"

Although Ye Xi is only a princess, she is more attentive and proficient in military affairs than General Ye Lang. While others are attending tea parties and poetry gatherings, she is the only one who spends the whole day training troops in the training ground.

Ye Xi nodded a little embarrassedly after hearing this: "I heard a little."

Lin Shan smiled wearily and poured her a glass of wine. "I never thought you were interested in rumors like this before. Why do you believe them this time?"

Ye Xi bit her lip as if she was in a dilemma. After a long time, she suddenly stood up and saluted, which scared Lin Shanjuan.

Ye Xi's expression was very serious and his words were quite sincere.

"I know Shan Juan is open-minded and broad-minded, so I speak frankly. If I have offended you, you are free to scold me."
