C48

After a round of boxing, his body began to sweat a little, and his joints felt fine, making him feel a little better.

This young and tender body was not yet fully developed. A fourteen year old little loli, a little loli that loved to train in martial arts, had probably inherited too much of her mother's body. She was petite and delicate, and her bones were slim. Because he had loved to train since he was young, his body had developed well and his physique was strong.

Taking a deep breath, he felt that although this body looked slim and slender, it was actually stronger than her previous life.

With a strong body, he should be able to obtain it from the genes of Helian Mountain. Even the little loli, who loved to practice martial arts, should have inherited the techniques from Helian Mountain.

Helian Manqiu inherited more genes from Helian Shan and Helian Qingyu inherited more genes from the gentle and gentle Jiangnan girl.

He thought hard about the room, thought of something convenient and practical, and wrote down the drawings and instructions on a piece of paper to be delivered to the craftsman. The craftsmen who were good at making things were sorted out and placed in different places. Some things required different craftsmen's cooperation.

Just like that, a day passed, and they busied themselves until the sky turned dark. Helian Manqiu, under some urging, took a bath and prepared to rest.

Having just wiped her body, she could not enter the water to take a bath, so she could only temporarily wipe her body with warm water. The wounds on her body were all scabbed and had not shed any of them.

As the courtyard was close to the house, a strange smell permeated the air. Killing intent faintly emanated from the courtyard and seeped into the room, invading her body.

Helian Manqiu slightly narrowed her eyes. Who would come here to kill her?

This presence was different from the people who had come to eavesdrop earlier in the day. Those who came during the day had only come to eavesdrop, but this person had come to kill her.

She was most sensitive to killing intent and danger so that she could feel the faint killing intent that was being directed at her from the bottom of Gan Yuxuan's heart.

Every little carelessness would cause danger to approach and the loss of one's life. The familiar killing intent, sharp and cold, was not one.

With the infiltration of this person, there were also two other people who had locked onto her room from different directions.

Could it be that that person lost his patience and sent someone to kill her?

No, that person was as scheming as a black crystal, how could he send someone to kill her at this time?

If he wanted to kill her, he definitely wouldn't do it here, right now.

Killing her at this time would not benefit him at all. It would only put him in an awkward situation. He would not do something as retarded as that.

If it wasn't for him sending people to kill her, who would have sent three decent men to infiltrate the garrison and assassinate a fourteen year old child like her?

She suddenly thought of the death of Helian Shan. Helian Shan did not die in an official battle, but when the inferior people attacked the city walls, Helian Shan went to repel the attack. He did not want to hide the experts from the Great Hengkong Empire and the Central Plains among the fresh soldiers.

Those experts of the Central Plains were dressed in the attire of soldiers with inferior status. In the dead of the night, they were engaged in a chaotic and bloody battle. No one noticed that those people were not soldiers of low status, but rather people of the Central Plains.

Carrying crossbows, armbands, and hidden weapons, those people attacked unexpectedly without any preparation. Helian Mountain was caught off guard, and the guards and soldiers around him also battled bitterly against the fresh and inferior soldiers who had attacked the city walls of the Military Region.

In just a split-second, his opponents attacked like lightning. Those experts attacked with their ultimate moves. Crossbow, sleeve, arrows, blades, swords, etc.

By the time the subordinates of Helian Mountain realized that something was wrong and fought to the death to snatch Helian Mountain out of the encirclement of those people, Helian Mountain was already on the verge of death.

Helian Shan leaned against the city wall behind him and didn't move at all. He only held his last breath when he saw those people being pushed back from the city walls.

Before he died, he secretly ordered people to not spread the news of his death, and brought people to the east gate to surrender to Gan Baoxuan. If Gan Yuxuan wasn't willing to surrender, he would have to fight his way out, giving up the military region and being forced to flee.

With grievances in his eyes, the ones Helian Shan could not let go the most were the soldiers and their families, as well as his two young children.

At that time, in the chaos of battle, who sent out the experts of the Great Hengkong Empire, pretending to be fresh and low soldiers, to attack the city walls from the north gate that was occupied by the fresh and low people, and assassinate Helian Mountain?

Helian Manqiu had not been able to find an answer to this question. The most suspicious person was the Law King.

It was very likely that the Law King wasn't willing to bear the responsibility of killing Helian Shan and didn't want to lose the military hearts and hearts of the people in the military state. Thus, he secretly ordered the experts beside him to hide among the soldiers of the low and fresh.

If King Lu killed Helian Shan, it would definitely arouse the wrath of the military and civilians in the military region, and they would be unwilling to accept and obey King Lu.

The people of the military state were valiant, and only the fresh and low would not care about such things.

King Lu secretly communicated with the lowly people and attacked the military region together. Those people were sent by King Lu, so it made sense.

It could also be that the inferior people, in order to obtain the Military Region, knew that if they wanted to obtain the Military Region, they would have to kill Helian Mountain.

At that time, Helian Shan was the instigator of the emperor's decree to exterminate the nine clans. Those people were controlled by the interests, so it wasn't surprising that they would do such a thing.

Perhaps the person who came to kill her today was the same as the day before.

Helian Manqiu gently held onto her arm. These days, she had found a few craftsmen skilled in making weapons and traps to make her a few hidden weapons. These concealed weapons were smeared with poison, so unless absolutely necessary, she would not use them lightly.

The other side had three people, but she only had one. Since she didn't want to reveal it, using a concealed weapon was the best.

He quickly put on his clothes and quickly made arrangements on the bed. It looked like someone was lying on the bed sleeping, putting down the curtains.

The mechanisms and hidden weapons were activated. These were all set up during the next few days and would not be activated during normal times. If there was an emergency, they could be activated very quickly.

He quietly put out the light, waiting for the assassins outside to enter the room and capture them. It was enough to just leave one alive. Two of them would be better. From the assassins that came tonight, they might be able to find out who killed Helian Shan that night and who was behind the scenes.

"Dang, Dang, Dang …"

"Oh no, there's an ambush! Retreat!"

Voices rang out from outside. There were people fighting. Helian Manqiu had some doubts. Who would stop those assassins and disrupt her plan?

He was wearing a black night attire as he sneaked out of the back window. He was as light as a leopard cat as he snuck under the eaves, observing the assassin and the person who had captured him.

"The young general …"

He was standing at the door when he heard the sound of someone running in. He couldn't help but worry when he heard that there was no sound in the room. Although he knew Helian Manqiu knew martial arts skills, how could he not be worried when his injuries had not yet healed?

Helian Manqiu did not say a word. She quietly merged with the darkness, staring at the assassin and the person who had captured and killed him. "It was obvious that the person who had captured the assassin was Gan Xuan. The assassin wore a black veil over his face as he retreated.
