The Killer's Cleansing Manual

The four of them traveled at full speed and finally arrived at Xiaolan Mountain, the closest mountain to Wuyan Town, a month later.

Thanks to the care that Qi Zhaomian had ordered in the capital earlier, and with Ye Xi's status as the princess of Qingcang Army, she had a smooth journey and no one dared to stop her.

As night fell, several people arrived at the last checkpoint. Everyone knew that tonight would not be so peaceful.

Bai Shu looked around worriedly, while Qi Zhen made a fire and caught fish. Both of them had worried expressions.

In the town he passed by during the day, Lin Shanjuan took a bow and two pots of arrows from a soldier under the name of Ye Xi, and was now playing with the bowstring by the fire.

Ye Xi tied the horse to a place with tender grass. Seeing her actions, he became more and more curious about her identity, but did not ask rashly.

She had a premonition that once they arrived in Wuyan Town, the identities of these three people would be automatically revealed.

"Miss Lin can do this, but I didn't notice it before."

Lin Shanjuan came back to his senses and put the bow aside. "It's just a way to have a meal. Tonight we might not be as peaceful as before. You might be implicated. I apologize in advance."

After working together for two months, Ye Xi knew Lin Shanjuan's character very well. He said this out of courtesy and waved his hand with a smile.

"You, please stop saying these polite words in front of me. Can I really hide away just because I'm afraid of being implicated?"

Lin Shanjuan also laughed: "I'm not always polite. If you miss it this time, I don't know when I'll be polite to you next time."

Seeing that she looked cold and stern but had such an easy-going personality, Ye Xi nodded heavily.

"I'd rather you tell me the unpleasant truth all your life than listen to these polite words."

Lin Shanjuan nodded: "Alas, I want to learn from Bai Shu, but I don't have the chance——"

Bai Shu, who had been slandered for no reason for the umpteenth time, had already learned to go crazy. He chopped the wooden shield with a knife while laughing dryly: "Ha-ha-ha-ha-this requires talent, mediocre people don't need to try to imitate it!"

Lin Shan gave him a tired look and threw a small stone at him: "I told you you were fat and you're out of breath!"

Qi Zhen and Ye Xi laughed out loud, and as they laughed, Ye Xi suddenly felt a little emotional.

"Although they are your subordinates, I always feel that your relationship is more like that of siblings, just like when Bai Shu introduced them to me when we first met."

At that time, Bai Shu said that Lin Shanjuan was his eldest sister, Qi Zhen was his second brother, and he was the youngest. This huge size difference made Ye Xi think that his family favored the youngest brother and gave him all the delicious food.

Lin Shanjuan sneered: "If Bai Shu was my brother, I would beat him three times a day!"

Qi Zhen agreed: "I can help you hold him down!"

Bai Shu was puzzled: Why do I have to fight three times a day? Is it because I eat a lot?

Ye Xi smiled so much that her eyes became narrow slits, but when she thought of her brother, her smile gradually faded.

Five years ago, her brother was still her brother, heroic and chivalrous.

But ever since she went to the south, her brother's behavior became increasingly incomprehensible to her. They even started quarreling, and every time they quarreled, she became more disappointed in her brother.

Especially, she could not tolerate the fact that he left His Highness Xihe at the critical moment, but turned around and looked everywhere for a woman who was somewhat similar to her, but her brother did not think he had done anything wrong.

Perhaps, she shouldn't care about these things.

Seeing her growing melancholy, Lin Shanjuan changed the subject: "If we can survive tonight, we'll be friends for life and death. I've always heard that your general's mansion has a horse ranch. I'll go there when the time comes. Please don't turn your back on me."

Ye Xi looked at her helplessly: "Whenever you come, I will pick you up in person. How could I not recognize you?"

Seeing that her mood had improved, Lin Shan smiled tiredly and didn't mention it anymore.

Although autumn in the south is not that cold, it is still cool at night, especially in the mountains. If there is a slight breeze at night, you can feel the cold wind blowing through the bones and into the marrow.

Tonight is destined to be uneasy. Instead of taking turns to keep watch, it is better for each of us to hide and be vigilant.

Lin Shanjuan had chosen a big tree with an excellent view early in the morning. Ye Xi took the initiative to act as bait and stood guard by the fire. Qi Zhen and Bai Shu hid in the bushes, each waiting for the arrival of the uninvited guests.

When people know that danger is approaching, the time when they are most relaxed is not during the long night, but at dawn.

At that time, the spirit that has been tense all night will relax as you see the dawn, and you will feel more sleepy when your energy is exhausted.

As a killer, Lin Shanjuan knew this truth, and those killers might also know it. So she slept comfortably, and when the dawn wind blew, Lin Shanjuan woke up suddenly.

Suddenly, a bird's cry was heard in the forest. Although it was realistic enough, Ye Xi and Lin Shanjuan, who were taking a nap with their eyes closed, still sensed the danger.

coming!

Ye Xi suddenly stuck the scabbard into the ground, thereby waking up Bai Shu and Qi Zhen. The next second, a crossbow arrow shot out from the forest, and Ye Xi suddenly pulled out his knife and cut it into two pieces!

Lin Shanjuan, based on the angle of the arrow, saw the man in black hiding behind the tree, who was about to shoot the second arrow.

She snorted coldly, drew her bow and arrow without hesitation, and shot through the black-clad man's head!

There seemed to be a commotion in the forest. The next second, arrows were fired at once. Bai Shu did not hesitate to give the shields he had sharpened last night to Ye Xi and Qi Zhen. The three of them held their shields back to back. The wet wood was not so easy to penetrate, but it could buy time for Lin Shanjuan.

Lin Shanjuan did not let their delay go to waste. In just a few breaths, she had quickly eliminated four people. The killers in the bushes had difficulty tracking her position. In order to avoid losing half of their men before the fight even started, the killer leader jumped out of the bushes:

"If you have the guts, come out and fight face to face!"

The rest of the people also stood out from the bushes, each holding a gleaming knife and looking warily at Ye Xi and the other two.

Ye Xi dropped his shield and took a stance with his knife in both hands: "How can someone who only dares to attack by surprise say such a thing?"

This remark angered the leader, who approached rapidly with his sword in hand. Ye Xi was not afraid and raised his sword to meet him. The sound of the two steel swords colliding was shocking, and the battle was about to break out!

Lin Shanjuan was just an emotionless archery machine. After she shot and killed three more people, someone finally discovered her location and quickly came up to kill her.

Lin Shanjuan calmly stayed on the tree. She first used a dagger to deal with the two people who rushed in front, then quickly slid down the treetop. The next second, the position where she was just standing was pierced by a feather arrow.
