Chapter 612: Playing Dead?

and I prepared for Father this morning. Over the years, you have been like a big tree, sheltering us from wind and rain. May Father live as long and healthy as a pine tree!" Xiao Yufu stepped forward..."This place is surrounded by mountains on all sides, it's quite a geomantic treasure, cheap for him."

Soon, they had dug a hole and wiped the sweat from their brows. One of them used his sleeve as a fan and fanned himself: "It's really strange this year. The weather is already starting to heat up this early in the morning."

“Stop talking and hurry up and bury the person. It'll start to stink soon, and we still have to go back and report.” The other man urged.

But when they turned around to go lift the person, they were horrified to find that Wen Shiyun, who had just been lying on the ground, had vanished!

"Bro, it's broad daylight. Could this be a staged death"

"What nonsense! There's no such thing as a corpse faking its own death! Don't scare yourself!"

But just as they were searching around, the seemingly deceased Wen Shiyun suddenly appeared behind them.

By the time they sensed something amiss behind them, their hairs stood on end. They slowly turned around, and in that instant, they were so terrified they almost lost their souls. The person who had supposedly died was standing before them with a ghastly grin.

"The body's been faking it!"

They instinctively wanted to turn and run, but their trembling legs were as if nailed to the spot, unable to move at all. They could only watch in terror as Wen Shiyun walked step by step towards them!

"Such a feng shui treasure land, you can enjoy it yourselves!" Wen Shiyun raised her iron shovel and struck twice. Suddenly, the two men spat blood and fell to the ground.

Perhaps they never dreamed that Wen Shiyun, who also understood pharmacology, had prepared a fake death medicine for herself long ago. She had calculated the time and predicted that they would bury her on the spot, so all preparations were made for this moment.

He stripped one of them of his clothes and put on his own, then kicked them, one by one, into the pit they had dug earlier. "You are fortunate to be buried in a pit you dug with your own hands!" he said, then filled it in with earth.

Just as they had finished burying it, a guard rushed over. "Brother," he said, "is the job done I have to say, you're quick!" He looked around, "Where's the other person Aren't there two of you"

When Shi Yin saw that he didn't suspect her, she took over the conversation: "Oh, he said he was afraid of seeing dead people, so he went back first."

"Oh, that explains it! He's always been such a scaredy-cat!"

Hearing that tone, it seemed like she knew one of them. Wen Shiyun's eyes grew cold, and murderous intent surged within her. She tightened her grip on the iron shovel in her hand.

"By the way, brother, you look unfamiliar. I've never seen you before, have I" The officer kept rambling on and on. Before Wen Shiyun could even open her mouth, he suddenly looked as if he had just realized something: "Oh, I get it now. You must be a new recruit, that's why you look so unfamiliar."

Seeing that he didn't suspect anything, Wen Shiyun slowly let go of her hand and nodded hastily.

"Brother, this time His Royal Highness is here in person. We are fortunate to be able to serve before His Royal Highness. That's because our ancestors have accumulated good deeds. Do your best. If there is a chance for promotion and we can go to the capital, then that would truly bring glory to our ancestors." The man looked proud.

"Mhm." Wen Shiyun just hummed in agreement and nodded.

"Bro, let's go, the rally seems to be starting."

The man urged her on, and Wen Shiyun followed him out of there.

"Senior brother."

When Xiao Yuge arrived in the courtyard, all the medicine had been packaged and was ready to be distributed to the people.

"Little sister, are you rested" He handed her a box of snacks. "Someone sent these pastries over early this morning, eat them quickly while they're still warm."

Xiao Yuge took the box of snacks and looked around: "Where is everyone else"

He said he had something urgent to take care of and would be back soon.

“Is he still busy here” Xiao Yuge looked puzzled. In her eyes, Qian Tingxuan was just a carefree prince, usually wandering the Jianghu, eating, drinking, playing, and having fun. What could possibly keep him busy, especially in such a remote place

She had no idea that as the head of the Thunder Pavilion, Qian Tingxuan had matters to attend to that far exceeded her imagination.

"I have a feeling that today's rally won't go as smoothly as expected. Little junior sister, be careful later, stay by my side and don't get separated." He knew that with someone absent, protecting his little junior sister fell on him. If she got hurt again, that person would probably be furious.

Their overprotective nature made them forget that she was now highly skilled in martial arts and had the ability to protect herself.

"Understood, senior brother," Xiao Yu Ge mumbled with something in her mouth, To her, those helpless people, no matter how crazy they were, it would still be difficult for them to hurt her.

Around the time of 5 p.m., as expected, countless people gathered outside Wenjiazhuang. They all came after being persuaded by Tigerzi and his son, with a mindset of giving it a try. After all, no one wanted to be controlled by drug addiction for their whole life. Moreover, Wenjia was no longer there, and if they wanted to survive, they had to find another way.

After all, older people know that while that thing can temporarily explain many worries, it will plague their lives for the rest of their days. Because the Wen family holds immense prestige here, no one dares to speak out against it, which led to things developing this way until Xiao Yuge and the others arrived.

Because there were officials on hand, at first the commoners lined up in an orderly fashion to receive medicine. Xiao Yuge and He Ming, along with several physicians, not only had to distribute the medicine but also treated those with more serious conditions on the spot with acupuncture.

It was morning, and with the good weather, everyone just hoped that the day would go smoothly.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "They killed Lord Wen, the city master, and now we have no divine tea to drink! They've caused us so much suffering. They destroyed our Ruoshui City! Kill them! Kill them!"

Immediately after, the entire crowd descended into chaos. The nearby constables rushed to restrain the agitated people. Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, the prefect hurriedly ordered, "Protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

You have to understand, if the Crown Prince were to encounter any trouble in this small territory of mine, the Emperor wouldn't hesitate to punish my entire clan.

"They have divine tea, we must seize it!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted. The commoners who were reluctant to fight before now also wanted to survive, so they desperately charged towards Xiao Yuge and their group.

Those guards who tried to stop them were quickly knocked down. In an instant, the people surged forward, all rushing towards Xiao Yuge, scrambling for that so-called divine tea.

Not far away, Wen Shiyun, who had already changed into ordinary clothes, coldly watched this scene. She looked at Xiao Yuge and Qian Si Chen surrounded by the crowd, a sinister smile unconsciously appeared on her lips: “Xiao Yuge, Qian Sicheng, you destroyed my Wen Family Manor, this account, I will one day get it back from you!” After finishing speaking, she turned and disappeared into the crowd. Feng swung his long sword down with a decisive edge, ready to fight to the death.Once good brothers, now one is a traitor and the other is a catcher of traitors, destined to turn against each other!X...
