With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

After a period of silence, Ji Zixing would go out for walks and look at flowers and plants on his days off.

Of course, he had an ulterior motive.

Before this, Ji Zixing had already learned about Xie Kui's whereabouts. Whenever he had free time, he would spend some time in this secret place he had found. He had also learned about Xie Kui's preferences.

Xie Kui was not the kind of delicate woman who would show affection for flowers, plants, or small animals. To her, no matter how cute a small animal was, it was prey to be pierced by an arrow.

As for the flowers and grass by the roadside? What are they? I haven't seen them; I usually just ride past on horseback.

You could say she's a woman who doesn't understand romance.

Instead of your romantic relationship, why not invite her to practice together for a while?

Ji Zixing certainly knows martial arts, but until he has absolutely surpassed Xie Kui, he shouldn't expose his weaknesses. Xie Kui doesn't cherish beauty; if he were knocked down by her punch, he would only become a laughing stock, let alone earn her any respect.

However, ever since the appearance of the Ao Kingdom's underground palace, Xie Kui has developed a new hunting habit: he no longer hunts rabbits. If he sees an injured rabbit, he will even help it.

A while ago, a story about Xie Kui circulated online. It said that she encountered a rabbit while hunting, rescued it without hesitation, bandaged it up, and released it, saying, "Little rabbit, you really are a lucky charm. Go now, you are free."

Ji Zixing arranged for a wooden house to be built in the mountains and forests, and arranged for people to take care of it. He even raised some rabbits there.

Although Xie Kui is a bit difficult to deal with, it is precisely because of her personality that it is difficult for others to attract her attention, so he can slowly devise a plan.

As long as you spend enough time there, you'll always have a chance to interact with the other person.

"Young Master, there have been suspicious people coming and going from this forest these past few days." The voice of his trusted aide came from beside him, causing Ji Zixing to pause.

"Have you investigated further?"

"I didn't dare get too close, but my men vaguely heard that they were going to sever someone's meridians, but not kill them."

Ji Zixing narrowed his eyes and quickly smiled. He believed that the other party's target was most likely Xie Kui, and the person who did it was probably not simple, otherwise why would they dare to do it to Xie Kui?

Why did they target Xie Kui?

It's either discontent or a power struggle.

Xie Kui is Xie Nuo's second older sister, so it would be difficult for her to harm Xie Nuo, since he doesn't leave the city. Only Xie Kui likes to wander outside the city.

If Xie Kui is crippled, he can still muddy the waters.

Ji Zixing believed this was an opportunity for him. If he could appear at the right time and help Xie Kui, he could make a lasting impression on him.

Ideally, he would be seriously injured because of Xie Kui.

It depends on the circumstances at the time.

He has skilled bodyguards around him who should be able to protect him.

Thinking about this, he still felt a little regretful about Zhou Huo's scheme against Chen Fangjin last time; it was such a good opportunity that was wasted.

Chen Fangjin is now married to Xie Ping and has someone protecting her.

The other party was so bold in the past because the Chen family had no enemies and because of his status as a scholar. Under normal circumstances, who would want to harm him for no reason? Not to mention, who would have thought that a powerful family like the Zhou family would directly harm a scholar? Their willingness to take action means that they can erase all traces. Even if the emperor wanted to investigate thoroughly, it would be difficult to get any results.

Moreover, the arrangements were so perfect, and the emperor didn't have that much free time to oversee everything.

Unfortunately, there is a force even more hidden than the Zhou family, and its identity remains unknown to this day.

As for Zhou's later claim of uncovering the truth, it was merely a pretext to save face. That day, Xie Kui invited several friends to go hunting in the mountains again.

As they ventured deeper into the area, the friends dispersed, leaving Xie Kui with only Thirteen by her side.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out all around as arrows shot out one after another.

Xie Kui paused, and he and Thirteen reacted quickly to dodge. Under Thirteen's cover, the two tried to retreat, but unexpectedly, a group of men in black appeared and rushed towards them recklessly.

These people are very strong.

Xie Kui thought to herself, if her martial arts skills hadn't improved so much, she probably would have panicked.

These people's martial arts skills are no worse than Thirteen's before, so if it weren't for her improvement and Thirteen's improvement as well, today would probably have been a tough battle. Based on her previous strength, if it weren't for Thirteen, she and her old subordinates would probably have been wiped out here.

I don't know who it is that's targeting her.

The blade was already upon them; there was no time to think.

Those who want to mess with her are simply after the seat her aunt occupies, and they're just trying to stir up trouble through her.

After all, she's the only one I can easily target, isn't she?
Do you really think she's an easy target? Humph.

Xie Kui had no intention of toying with the rat. He pulled an arrow from his quiver, infused it with his inner strength, and shot it straight through the man's neck.

Within a dozen or so breaths, more than a dozen people collapsed.

The men in black were clearly taken aback, not expecting Xie Kui to be so powerful, even stronger than the guard beside her.

what happened?

Xie Kui is actually that strong?
After a while, the remaining men in black realized that they could not achieve their goal for the day, so they decided to leave. They exchanged glances and then scattered in all directions.

They also knew that with Xie Kui's martial arts skills, they would probably all perish here if they tried to escape together.

Xie Kui was a little angry: "You run away when you can't beat them? Don't you have any backbone?"

The man in black who was running away almost fell. Courage? He's about to die, and he still wants courage? Xie Kui's brain is really something else, it's infuriating.

The man in black ran even faster.

"Thirteen, kill them! Kill as many as you can."

Xie Kui knew that it would be difficult to pry the truth out of these people, so he tried to stay here as much as possible.

Xie Kui drew his sword and charged forward, regretting that he hadn't brought enough arrows today; otherwise, none of them would have escaped.

My aunt has always praised her archery skills!
Ji Zixing, who had been waiting for this moment, heard the commotion and brought his men over, pretending to wander around so he could help when the time came.

Unexpectedly, a man in black rushed towards him. He had learned martial arts, but not very well, and the man in black was too fast for him to dodge. The man in black was fleeing for his life, and when he saw someone blocking his way, he instinctively slashed with his sword. The speed was so fast that even though the person behind Ji Zixing reacted quickly, Ji Zixing was still slashed, though not seriously.

He hissed in pain and was pulled aside by the people around him.

The remaining men chased after the man in black, but unexpectedly, another figure was even faster, rushing forward and decapitating the man in black. The head flew up and rolled right to Ji Zixing's feet.

Ji Zixing was skilled in intrigue and cunning, and naturally ruthless, but this was the first time he had ever encountered such a bloody scene, and he immediately couldn't help but vomit.

But his luck seemed to run out; another man in black ran towards him from that direction. Fortunately, the people around him were alert this time and quickly pulled him aside. He was about to vomit, and inevitably ended up vomiting all over himself, feeling dizzy and lightheaded. (End of Chapter)
