The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 181 She threw herself into her arms

Lin Shanjuan and the other two rode at full speed and arrived at Songyun Mountain at dusk.

Songyun Mountain was dark. From afar, there was an inconspicuous small village at the foot of the mountain, which must be the residence of Chang Zhenming's family.

The three of them sneaked into the village quietly, and when it was pitch black, they arrived at the village.

It was called a small village, but it was just a few scattered houses on the hill. Unable to determine which house Chang Zhenming's family lived in, they resorted to the crude method of checking each one one by one.

This glance made it clear that something was wrong. These houses did not look like ordinary farmhouses. The light was dim, and Lin Shanjuan could only see a large table in the center with a few chairs around it. He couldn't tell what they were used for.

Rather than a farmyard, it looks more like a conference room.

Meeting room?

She carefully pushed open the window and saw through the gap a man lying on his back on a row of chairs, snoring.

Why is there someone guarding a house like this?

Although she was curious, she did not go in. After all, the mission this time was to kill Chang Zhenming, so there should be no unnecessary complications.

Lin Shanjuan lowered the window to find Ye Xi and Liu He to meet up. Ye Xi had already found Chang Zhenming's family's house. The three of them exchanged glances and moved towards that place.

Chang Zhenming had probably gotten the news. The lights were turned off early, and there were still a few men guarding the room, standing in front of the couch with big swords in their hands, their eyes as sharp as lightning.

Everyone thought that Chang Zhenming had lost his title and had retired to his hometown with his family, and Ji Shihan's support was completely broken.

But now it seems that this is obviously not the case. Not only is Chang Zhenming still alive, but his hut looks shabby on the outside, but it is actually filled with silk and satin on the inside. It seems that he is living a very good life.

From within the bed curtains came Mrs. Chang Zhenming's whisper:

"How long will it take for these people to guard here day after day?"

Chang Zhenming sighed impatiently, "I don't want this to happen either. Lin Shanjuan is staring at us like a hungry wolf, and he's even taken the account book. Now he wants to capture me and interrogate me. This is a critical moment, and we can't afford any mistakes."

"But it's not a good idea to keep going like this. Are we going to stay like this forever if she doesn't come?"

"Hey, go to sleep, don't worry about your life? Stop talking so much!"

"Um……"

The sound of conversation gradually died down, the night deepened, and when dawn was approaching, the big man guarding the house also became drowsy. They had been guarding the house with their spirits tense all night, and now they were exhausted and inevitably sleepy.

A sharp dagger suddenly thrust in from the gap in the door, cut into the door bolt, and slowly pried it open, and then three figures flashed in.

Ye Xi deliberately threw a stone into the corner, and the three of them quickly hid. Sure enough, the next second a man pushed open the door and came out to check.

Lin Shanjuan was well prepared. The sharp blade suddenly cut the man's throat, and he lost the strength to resist before he even had time to scream.

"Who is it?" asked the person inside.

Lin Shanjuan held up the corpse to prevent it from falling, thereby attracting other people.

Immediately another person approached and patted his shoulder, and the body fell to the ground with a plop.

He suddenly felt something was wrong and tried to draw his steel knife, but Lin Shanjuan kicked the scabbard, making it difficult to pull the knife out. He subconsciously wanted to shout, but Lin Shanjuan had anticipated it. He covered the man's mouth with one hand, climbed his legs around his waist, spun the dagger in his hand, held it in his palm, and stabbed it into the man's Adam's apple.

Such noise alerted the others, but unfortunately Ye Xi and Liu He had already entered the house. They had been preparing for a long time in the dark, and the guards were naturally a little panicked in their hasty response.

The two men were like tigers entering a pack of wolves. In the blink of an eye, they had already killed one of the men.

Liu He's spear was not restricted much in such a small room. She knew very well what she was doing here, so she thrust the spear towards the bed without hesitation.

"what--"

A scream was heard, and Chang Zhenming's wife was awakened by the shock. She screamed subconsciously, but unfortunately, before the scream reached her throat, a spear pierced her heart.

Liu He held the gun and lifted the bed curtain. After making sure that the two men were completely dead, he shouted, "Go!"

The three men's target was originally just Chang Zhenming. Now that Chang Zhenming is dead, they evacuated directly.

"Come on!"

He could faintly hear the shouts of pursuers approaching from behind, so Lin Shanjuan drew his bow and shot an arrow straight through the man running in front.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the door of the room she had initially explored had opened, and two panicked men ran out, with something that looked like a map clearly visible behind them.

"Hurry up!" Ye Xi said softly.

Lin Shanjuan withdrew his gaze, kicked his horse's stomach, and the three of them walked straight back to Beijing in the morning light.

Their nightgowns were already stained with blood. They took them off as they ran and threw them on the side of the road, deliberately leaving evidence to let Ji Shihan know that it was their doing.

Now Chang Zhenming was really dead, and Ji Shihan was forced to take a step back. When he was forced into a dead end, it was time for him to counterattack.

And the winner will be decided at that time!

At sunset that day, the three of them finally returned to Beijing. After saying goodbye to each other, Lin Shanjuan dragged his tired body back to the princess's mansion.

The rush back and forth had made it hard for her to open her eyes. She just wanted to get into bed and sleep for dozens of hours. But she didn't say goodbye to Qi Zhaomian before she left. She must be worried about her now, so it was more important to go see her first.

In the study, Qi Zhaomian was still staring at the sunset in a daze. The more blood-red the sunset looked, the more worried she became.

Lin Shanjuan's trip was secretive enough that she couldn't get any information. The earliest she could get any news about Songyun Mountain would be tonight, so she was feeling very uneasy.

Yue Liu was guarding outside and saw from a distance the servant guarding the door running over, followed by Lin Shanjuan.

"That's..." Yue Liu's eyes lit up, "The Prince Consort!"

Lin Shanjuan waved at her from a distance in response. Yue Liu was completely relieved. She turned around and was about to knock on the door to inform Qi Zhaomian, but she saw the door was suddenly opened and Qi Zhaomian appeared at the door.

Her eyes were anxious and aggrieved. She looked over Yue Liu's shoulder and saw Lin Shanjuan walking lazily towards her. At this moment, longing and worry were overwhelming. She pursed her lips slightly and heard Yue Liu say:

"Your Highness, the Prince Consort is back, you don't have to worry anymore..."

She hadn't finished her words yet, because Qi Zhaomian couldn't wait for Lin Shanjuan to slowly walk up to her, she was so impatient.

The beauty was as pretty as a banished immortal, and she came dancing with her red and gold skirt in hand.

Although she was full of anxiety, every step she took was more graceful than the dance of the best dancers in the capital. It was so elegant, like a gentle elf born naturally, and even more like a butterfly lost in a sea of ​​flowers.

The red hem of her dress inlaid with gold thread swept across the ground, bringing with it a fragrance, just like her pitiful appearance, which was unforgettable.

Beautiful women are full of compassion. Their slightly furrowed brows, rosy red eyes, and radiant glances can move people's hearts.

The corners of her eyes were slightly red, and the grievance in her eyes was about to burst out. The only thing clear in her eyes was Lin Shanjuan who was stretching his arms towards her not far away. She bit her lip and ran faster and faster until she fell into Lin Shanjuan's arms.

Her anxieties and worries finally had a place to rest.
