330, Decisive Killing (Part 2)
Being born into the Royal Family, one isn’t necessarily a person of kindness.
When it comes to resolute killing, Li Hengyi is not one to be soft-hearted.
If anything could stir his emotions, making him happy, joyful, sad, or irritable, there was only one such person.
In his eyes, these assassins were less than ants.
“Yes!”
Someone immediately went to handle it.
The people from the Governor’s Office arrived quickly as well: magistrates, constables, officials-those who could come and those who couldn’t, all came.
When they saw Li Hengyi, one after another, regardless of authenticity, they knelt down and kowtowed, “We’ve seen Prince Han!”
“Take these people away, lash their corpses and throw them to the Mass Grave Mound, and post a notice!”
He wanted to see just how capable that mastermind behind the scenes truly was.
If it was over a hundred people this time, would they send several hundred next time?
To cultivate a capable assassin is not something that can be done overnight; he also wanted to see how many people that person had to send before him for execution!
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The magistrate repeatedly expressed his assent.
By the time he looked up again, aside from the corpses littering the ground, Prince Han and his entourage had already departed.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry, take these people away for me,” the magistrate ordered. “Publicly lash the corpses at the city gates tomorrow. Those who dare to assassinate Prince Han must be properly punished!”
“Yes!”
Public lashing of the corpses was more humiliating than being torn apart by five horses, not to mention the bodies being discarded at Mass Grave Mound afterward.
In the carriage, Yuanbao wiped the blood from his sword and said softly, “The medicine pill Miss Xie gave is truly a great thing. Master, Miss Xie has already given you the recipe; when will you have it produced?”
“Do you think it’s that simple?” Li Hengyi said softly, passing the prescription to Yuanbao.
Yuanbao opened it and peered down by the lamplight, “Millennium Ginseng, Millennium He Shou Wu, Millennium Lingzhi, Millennium…”
While Yuanbao recited the list, he swallowed nervously, especially at the last item, the Spiritual Spring Water…
“This…” he looked toward the corner where a chest lay.
Within that chest, there should be the Spiritual Spring Water.
“Miss Xie…”
“Yuanbao, no matter when, and no matter who it is that insults her, as long as you are by her side, you must protect her well!” Li Hengyi commanded softly.
Yuanbao acknowledged with a sound.
He now understood that the medicine pill given by Xie Zhinuan was truly a rare treasure.
And he did not yet know how many more she had in her possession; such pills, if known to the wanderers of the Martial World, would surround her with dangers on all sides.
“If Miss Xie were to practice martial arts, she would become an unparalleled master in the world. As long as she succeeds, no one could harm a hair on her head!” Yuanbao sheathed his sword, “Miss Xie is more capable and silent than we imagined; her Inner Strength eclipses even yours, Master. It’s just unknown how she could apply it to boxing or swordsmanship. And with Miss Xie’s diligence, she will quickly become a martial arts expert!” Yuanbao murmured softly.
Li Hengyi remained silent for a moment before speaking, “One day, she will be known throughout the world, not because she can make money, but for other reasons!”
Like being highly skilled in martial arts, accumulating good deeds, and having a compassionate healer’s heart.
Xie Zhinuan is the most powerful woman he has ever seen, always able to surprise him, and he couldn’t help but like her even more.
“I think so too!”
The master and servant both affirmed Xie Zhinuan highly.
And at this very moment, Xie Zhinuan was dreaming.
In the dream, someone called her Nuannuan, and she slowly began to see the person’s face more clearly.
Gentle and handsome, filled with deep affection.
And she could also feel the original owner’s joy and happiness, as well as affection.
“Xuan Mu!”
Xie Zhinuan called out softly.
When she opened her eyes, her heartbeat was racing, and she could even feel the rapid pounding at her chest.
Xuan Mu…
That name sounded somewhat familiar to her; she wondered if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn’t remember.
