I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 218 Talking about Cooperation

Mu Yuan was still concerned about Zhou Xu, the head of the Zhou family, and couldn't stay in the teahouse for too long, so he coughed lightly as a reminder.

Xin Youran quickly got the point, as she also had something important to discuss with Mu Yuan today.

Let's first gossip about the love-hate relationship between Tong Wan and the virtuous king.

"Wanwan, I'm very curious, how did you escape the clutches of the Wise King back then?"

"That man looked very murderous. For some reason, I felt inexplicably scared when I saw him."

This might be a person's aura. She was also afraid of Mu Yuan at that time, but that kind of fear was completely different from the feeling that the wise king gave her.

After getting along with each other, she was no longer afraid of Mu Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Tong Wan laughed so hard that she spit out her tea. "Are you afraid of him?"

"What's so scary about him?"

"A simple-minded guy with strong limbs."

Xin Youran: ...

"I just said I wanted to go out for a walk alone and didn't want anyone to follow me."

"Uh... is it, that simple?"

"How can it be that simple? But if I threaten him with death, he will compromise."

"This trick has always worked for me."

"Let me tell you, this man..."

Tong Wan was about to start a conversation with Xin Youran when she realized that there was a man present. She coughed twice and stopped the topic.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll tell you in detail later."

"After finally escaping from the Xianwang Mansion, I felt like a bird that had flown out of a cage. I was finally free, under heaven and on earth!"

"No matter where I am, as long as I have banknotes in my pocket, I will feel safe wherever I go."

"My first stop was a tailor's shop. Under the pretense of custom-made clothes, I quickly changed into men's clothing. Afterwards, I hired a carriage and headed out of the city without stopping."

"The plan at the time was to get as far away from the capital as possible, and the farther away from the Xianwang Mansion, the safer it would be."

"It's hard to describe what happened next. Not long after I left the city, I encountered bandits in the mountains. They robbed me of almost all the jewelry and banknotes I had with me, and even took my carriage..."

Xin Youran was terrified when she heard this. As a weak woman who couldn't even tie a chicken, she must have been very scared at that time, right?

"Luckily, I was smart. I hid a lot of banknotes in the soles of my shoes!"

"Although Mu Chuan is a pervert, he's still quite generous to me."

"Until I found an inn and accidentally discovered that someone seemed to be following me, the first person I thought of was Mu Chuan!"

"In order to get rid of them, I traveled all night, walking aimlessly, going wherever I went. Finally, I got rid of those people."

"At that time, I was starving and freezing, and finally I saw a village, which is now Xinghua Village. Coincidentally, I ran into your master and his wife who were treating a patient."

"I was just about to ask if there was an inn in the village, but I fainted."

"Later, they saved me. Then, seeing that no one was chasing me anymore, I bought the yard next to theirs and became their neighbors."

So that's how it is. Master and his mistress are really kind people. Not only did they save her and Mu Yuan, they also saved Tong Wan earlier.

I don't know what they are doing now, or how they are doing...

Tong Wan saw what Xin Youran was thinking and smiled, comforting her, "Don't worry. When I came to the capital, I specifically told them about the situation. They're all fine. I've been worried about Yingying..."

"But I've already written them a letter, telling them it was Yingying you found for me. We'll be setting off back in a few days."

"what?"

"Haven't you already recognized the virtuous king? Don't you plan to be with him?"

Besides, with the temperament of that killer god, how could he pretend not to know that he had a daughter this old?

Speaking of this, one could clearly feel that Tong Wan was like a deflated ball. She looked so confident just now, but now she had her head drooped and looked listless in an instant.

"We have to come up with a foolproof plan this time..."

I'm afraid it's very difficult. "Wanwan, do you hate that God-killing King?"

Tong Wan supported her head with one hand, thought seriously for a moment, and replied, "I can't say I hate him. After all, I did take advantage of him back then. In the end, he's a victim, right?"

"Not only did she lose her innocence in vain, but she also remained a virgin for so many years..."

Xin Youran: ...

"What time is it now?"

Tong Wan didn't care about emo and stood up. "You guys take your time drinking tea. I have to go back first and supervise Yingying taking her medicine."

"Drink medicine?"

"What's wrong, little one?"

"Actually, when she was kidnapped, she was pretending to be unconscious. She knew everything..."

"Maybe he was frightened and then fell asleep."

"I had a high fever during the funeral that day. After I got home, I asked the imperial physician to treat me. He said it was caused by excessive shock and the fever wouldn't go away."

"The fever went away after taking the medicine. It's no big deal. It's just that this little guy never likes to drink Chinese medicine. I have to force him with threats or inducements."

Xin Youran nodded, "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay..."

Anyone would probably have psychological trauma after a trip to the Blade Camp, let alone a child of eight or nine years old.

Seeing Tong Wan was about to leave, Mu Yuan couldn't help but said to her, "Based on my understanding of the emperor's uncle, if he hadn't intentionally let you go, the emperor's aunt would probably not have been able to leave the capital."

Tong Wan was stunned on the spot. After a moment, she realized that she had lost her composure. "I don't understand what you are saying. I won't say anymore. I won't say anymore. I'm leaving first. See you later!"

Tong Wan obviously quickened her pace and quickly walked out of the teahouse.

She and Mu Yuan were the only two people left in the teahouse.

Xin Youran took the initiative to add a new pot of tea and poured a cup for Mu Yuan.

"Hey, here's the oolong tea you like, but I'm not sure if my cooking skills are that great, so just make do with it."

"I'll go study tea art with Tong Wan later. Once I'm a master, I'll make you a pot of tea to try."

Mu Yuanbei felt flattered. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Tsk, it turns out that nothing can be hidden from him.

Xin Youran didn't bother to elaborate and got straight to the point, "I want to work with you to destroy Falling Rain."

Mu Yuan's hand holding the teacup trembled. He put down the teacup without leaving a trace and looked at Xin Youran seriously.

That look was full of scrutiny and aggression, which made Xin Youran feel uncomfortable.

Seeing tea splashed on the back of his hand, she hurriedly took out her handkerchief and walked forward to wipe it for him.

Mu Yuan quickly took the handkerchief and said, "It's okay..."

"You, are you serious?"

"That has to be serious!"

Xin Youran perked up when she mentioned this. "Haven't you already seen [Falling Rain]?"

"From the moment you stepped into Luoxianyuan, you have already entered the net of [Falling Rain]. Do you understand?"

"Those children who were bought, kidnapped, or sent to [Falling Rain] were first sent to the Blade Camp and eliminated one by one through cannibalism."

"Those who are qualified will become assassins, and those who are unqualified will either be abandoned in the wilderness or sent to Luoxianyuan for training."

"There are many others like me who were sent for research."

"How good can the outcome be?"

"Such a horrific organization should have been destroyed long ago. It's said to have existed for a hundred years."

"If this continues, I wonder how many more children will suffer..."

"And is that person on the bounty list really someone who deserves to die as they say?"

"I saw with my own eyes how they reversed right and wrong, blinded the eyes of those assassins, and, under the guise of upholding justice and acting on behalf of heaven, induced them to 'perform chivalrously and righteously.'"

“How many good officials have died tragically?”
