Chapter 276 What's so special about Xie Xing? Everyone's coming to save her.
Jun Lanjin smiled and said, "No, I'm here to rescue you."
He glanced sideways at what was behind him.
Immediately, someone brought over a woman who was similar in build and had the same face as Xie Xing.
Xie Xing looked at the woman standing opposite her, who was about the same age as her, with a somewhat surprised expression.
"She will take your place. You come out with me."
Jun Lanjin took a step back, allowing the woman wearing the human skin mask to walk to Xie Xing's side.
Xie Xing was naturally eager to leave this prison cell.
Seeing this, he immediately stood beside Jun Lanjin.
Jun Lanjin had someone put a human skin mask on Xie Xing, and then Xie Xing exchanged clothes with the woman who had just come in. After the two had completely switched places, Jun Lanjin let Xie Xing leave with him.
After leaving the cell, Jun Lanjin did not leave immediately. Instead, he and Xie Xing hid in a corner where they could see clearly into the cell.
Xie Xing was still a little uncomfortable with the human skin mask; it felt strange to wear it on his face.
She reached out and grabbed a corner of Jun Lanjin's robe, peeked out and looked towards the outside of the prison cell, where the Imperial Guards were stationed, making it very secure. She asked curiously, "Your Highness, what are we doing here?"
Jun Lanjin said, "Wait a moment."
Xie Xing didn't understand what Jun Lanjin was waiting for. She was extremely anxious and wanted to know about the Xie family's situation.
But now she can only stay with Jun Lanjin and has no way to go anywhere else, so she can only wait here.
I don't know how long I waited.
As night deepened, dark clouds gradually obscured half of the silver moon in the sky.
Xie Xing was so sleepy that he almost fell asleep standing up.
She lowered her head little by little, and when her head touched Jun Lanjin's back, she suddenly woke up with a start. When she opened her eyes, she saw a group of masked men in black standing in front of her.
Taking advantage of a moment of relaxation in the Imperial Guards, a group of these people set out.
He silently slit the throats of the imperial guards standing in front of the prison cell, then slipped into the cell.
Xie Xing's eyes widened.
She tugged hard at Jun Lanjin's sleeve: "Your Highness, Your Highness, look!"
"I saw it." Jun Lanjin glanced back at Xie Xing, then turned back to his head. He raised his hand and gave the order. In an instant, rows of archers holding bows and arrows raised their arrows and aimed them at the prison door.
He strolled out leisurely and stood behind the archer.
Xie Xing jogged after Jun Lanjin.
Her eyes were fixed inside, waiting for the person inside to come out.
This is called "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
Before long, the man in black came out.
When they came out, they had someone on their shoulders.
Xie Xing looked closely and realized that this person was the same person who had just been wearing a human skin mask with the same face as her in the cell.
They came for her.
Xie Xing squinted.
She roughly guessed who was trying to abduct her in the middle of the night.
The man in black came out and paused abruptly when he saw the rows of arrows.
Discovered? !
They exchanged a glance, wanting to retreat back into the cage.
"Release the arrows," Jun Lanjin's voice came indifferently.
Swish swish!
The archers released their bows, and a volley of arrows rained down on the men in black.
The rain of arrows forced the men in black back into their cells, and none of them dared to come out.
After an unknown amount of time, there was no movement at the prison gate. Jun Lanjin then said coldly, "Leave one alive, kill the rest."
"Yes!"
Their figures flashed, and they headed menacingly into the prison.
Over there, those who had been hiding inside the prison to avoid the rain of arrows rushed out after the arrows had completely stopped.
Both sides fight.
Ultimately, because Jun Lanjin's side had more people, these men in black were no match for them, so they thought of throwing the person down and escaping from this place.
Upon seeing this, Junlan Jin drew a jade flute from his waist.
He placed the jade flute to his lips, and as soon as he blew it, a sharp sound pierced his eardrums. Xie Xing covered his ears with both hands in discomfort as powerful sound waves surged one after another, directly attacking the black-clad men who were trying to escape.
They covered their ears with their hands, their expressions pained.
In that brief moment, Jun Lanjin's men rushed forward and slit the throats of the men in black with their swords, leaving only one alive.
Seeing that his plan was about to be exposed, the man tried to bite off the poison hidden in his teeth and swallow it, thus dying.
Jun Lanjin moved even faster. In a flash, he appeared next to the man in black, inserted the jade flute into his mouth to prevent him from biting into the poison, and then dislocated his jaw.
After doing all this, Jun Lanjin turned around and said coldly, "Take the person away for interrogation."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xie Xing stood beside Jun Lanjin and watched the whole thing.
A battle had just taken place here, and the air was thick with the nauseating stench of blood. She looked away from the dead bodies and went to Jun Lanjin's side. "Your Highness, how did you know these people would come?"
Jun Lanjin turned around, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said, "In the Xie family's situation, only the place where you are being held is an ordinary prison cell."
"The rest of the Xie family members are all heavily guarded."
"If you want to know anything about the Xie family, you should start with you."
Xie Xing's expression was strange: "What could I possibly know?"
She's just an unloved daughter of the Xie family, why arrest her?
What use is she?
“Miss Xie knows a lot of things.” Jun Lanjin gave her a meaningful look.
Upon hearing this, Xie Xing immediately grinned and followed behind Jun Lanjin, "Of course, Your Highness, I will tell you everything I know without reservation."
Jun Lanjin ignored her sweet words.
……
the other side.
Luo Hanfeng's men came to his side.
"Your Highness, our men were stopped by Prince Jin and were completely wiped out."
"We were unable to bring Xie Xing back."
Luo Hanfeng's expression instantly turned gloomy, and with a "crack," a piece of the table corner was crushed into powder by him.
Wen Yan, who was standing to the side, was extremely bored. He rested his chin on his hand and looked at Luo Hanfeng curiously, saying, "Why are you staring at that fifth young lady of the Xie family?"
"That girl is interesting, but what's the point of bringing her out at a time like this?"
As she spoke, Wen Yan looked at Luo Hanfeng with disdain, "Are you kidding me? At a time like this, you're not going to talk to me about romance?"
Luo Hanfeng's expression softened somewhat.
He sat expressionlessly on the stone bench, then turned to look at Wen Yan and said coldly, "Doesn't the fact that Jun Lanjin is outside that cell prove anything?"
"His concern for Xie Xing must be because she has something special about her."
Wen Yan said gently, "That makes sense. Prince Jin actually went to such lengths for that girl."
"It's really strange. I thought Prince Jin was a block of wood and indifferent to women."
Luo Hanfeng did not reply to him.
He looked ahead, his fingertips tracing the teacup, lost in thought.
Wen Yan stood up and said, "Everything is ready, we just need the right opportunity."
"Put aside your personal feelings for now, and wait for the world to descend into chaos."
