Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

"Those assassins are elusive; if I could, I would have wiped them all out long ago!"

"Then we'll do it."

At this moment, the horse's head spoke.

“What?” Ernest asked.

“Leave it to us, Minister.” The horse-headed figure raised its head. “I already know…how to find out about the night raid!”

Chapter 214 On the Eve of the Battle

At the same time.

Inside a villa on the outskirts of the capital.

The wide corridor and flower beds were covered in bloodstains.

Suddenly, a series of harsh footsteps came from not far away.

A tall, bearded man was carrying a little girl who looked to be about six years old.

The little girl was wearing cute pink pajamas, but the expression on her face was completely blank.

His nose and tears were stuck together, making him look like a frightened lamb.

"I caught this little thing, but I didn't expect it to slip away when I wasn't paying attention."

However, the bearded man didn't pay much attention to it.

What Ji likes to do is his business, and has nothing to do with me.

Looking at the little girl in his hands, who was already terrified and dazed, a hint of pity suddenly flashed in the bearded man's eyes.

He gently patted the little girl on the back of the neck, and she slowly came back to her senses, as if waking from a dream.

The moment she saw the bearded man, the little girl seemed to remember something, and then she trembled all over, her face turning as pale as a dead person.

The young girl heard nauseating gasps coming from not far away.

She seemed to realize that she could not escape, and a feeling called despair filled her young heart.

She tilted her head slightly, wanting to see the scene on the other side.

But the large body blocked her view; it was the bearded man.

With a warm smile, he placed his hand on the girl's shoulder: "Your mom and dad are already asleep. You don't want to fall asleep like them, do you? If you don't, then hurry up and leave. The stairs are at the end of the corridor, you know that, right? After all, this is your home, isn't it?"

After saying that, he gently released the girl's shoulder.

The girl understood what the bearded man meant.

He's letting me go.

With her limited understanding, she couldn't fathom why the bearded man would do such a thing.

But once freed from restraints, driven by fear and the will to survive, she turned and ran.

They ran for their lives, without looking back, nor daring to look back.

The stairs are just ahead.

She knew that once she got there, she could leave the flower room. There was a very hidden window there, and sometimes she would sneak out to play. No one knew about that place.

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

As she got closer to the stairs, the girl's heart pounded faster and faster.

Tears welled up in her eyes; they were the joy of escaping death.

But the small figure came to an abrupt end.

The girl only felt herself getting further and further away from the stair railing, while the scenery on both sides of the corridor was rushing past.

Then, a slight warmth came from my chest.

She looked down blankly, noticing a sword blade protruding from her chest, blood flowing down its edge.

"Eh?"

She blinked, not understanding what was happening.

The next second, the blade was suddenly pulled out of her body, taking the girl's life with it.

She didn't die immediately; she fell backward to the ground, not understanding what had happened.

I was about to escape, so why did it turn out like this?

Blood gushed from her mouth and nose, and tears streamed down her face. She tried to scream, but her throat was full of blood bubbles.

She tried to get up, but her body convulsed from the intense pain and was completely out of her control. The most she could do was twist her neck, like a dying fawn.

Although she had already accepted the fact that she was about to die, she still stubbornly twisted her head.

She still wanted to see her parents one last time.

But a shadow loomed over her; it was still the bearded man.

He looked down at the girl, his smile almost reaching his ears.

A slight noise rang in my ears.

The girl slightly turned her eyes and saw a thin iron chain hanging down from the bearded man's hand, with a barbed hook at the end.

She realized she had been deceived.

From the very beginning, this person in front of her had no intention of letting her leave.

The bearded man had already placed the hook on her collar; if he pulled it back, she would fly backward.

With the bearded man's size and strength, pulling a little girl was as easy as breathing for him.

His eyes gradually lost their light, and blood spread across the floor.

At this moment, Thorn also stood up from the ground.

"That's the good thing about working under a minister; you can do whatever you want with the target. I really like that advantage."

"Speaking of which, what did this family do wrong?" Zhu Tian asked.

"It seems to be an official who misappropriated relief funds and gave them to people in the slums?" Thorn tilted his head. "Anyway, this guy used money that should have belonged to a minister. You know the temper of ministers; anyone who touches their cake and eats it dies."

"How pitiful. But since they're already dead, they're no longer suffering in this world."

"But what's going on in the capital?"

Zhu Tian looked towards the capital through the long windows of the corridor, where flames soared into the sky and smoke filled the air.

The earlier explosions had certainly caught their attention, but that was irrelevant to them; they were there to carry out a mission.

"Hey, what are you two doing?"

Suddenly, a woman with a horizontal scar on her face appeared to hang upside down from the window outside.

"What's going on? It's you, Suzuka." Thorn retracted the thorns in her hand. "I almost attacked you, but I do like your elusive nature."

Suzuka hallucinated around and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"You guys seem to be having a lot of fun. Why don't we try it out sometime?"

“No,” Thorn said, spreading his hands. “I’m not interested.”

"What are you doing here?" Zhu Tian asked.

"Go back and meet up with the horse-head; the minister has given us a new mission," Suzuka said.

"Oh, who are they going to kill this time?" Thorn asked, intrigued.

"Night raid."

……

The following day, unsurprisingly, the two explosions that occurred the previous night made headlines in the capital's newspapers.

People were talking about it, and all sorts of rumors were flying around.

Lu Ye sat in his office, dealing with the matters from the previous night.

As the captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison, his duty is naturally to maintain the security of the capital.

If someone else had encountered such a mess, they would probably be frantic with worry by now.

But he didn't.

Because he was the one who orchestrated last night's explosion.

The plan was a success.

Brad scouted the location beforehand and planned the assassination route, which greatly increased the efficiency of the assassination.

From execution to withdrawal, it took less than ten minutes.

Moreover, because of the horse's head, Lu Ye had a perfect alibi.

In short, this attack has alerted the entire capital.

The minister's subsequent actions did not disappoint him.

Last night, Lu Ye received a summons from the palace.

The minister ordered the "Four Demon Rakshasa" to wipe out the night raid team, led by Ma Tou, among whom was Lu Ye, who had just joined.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in," Lu Ye said.

The person who pushed open the door was not a member of the garrison who came to report on their work, but rather the horse leader.

Although there are still some burn marks on her body, they are very faint now. Only her nose is bandaged, which is not very aesthetically pleasing.

"Follow me, we're about to move out."

Ma Tou's voice was indifferent. Although Lu Ye's appearance matched her aesthetic standards, her nose still hurt.

If she didn't have a mission to complete, she really wanted to break Lu Ye's limbs and keep him as a pet.

"Dealing with night raids? That's possible, but how do I do it?" Lu Ye looked bewildered.
