Chapter 284 Encountering Thieves at Hanlu Temple
Wu Ziyan had been wanting to get out of the car for a while.
Yan hid in the shadows, watching the faces that gradually emerged.
Why isn't there a single one that matches the portrait? Didn't they say they would be passing by Hanlu Temple today?
The most crucial point is that he followed them all the way from the capital. When did these teams change their members?
Or was it that the group really didn't go this way when she was walking ahead of them?
Or perhaps they're still behind and haven't arrived yet!
However, an assassin's intuition is very accurate, even though they do not match the portrait.
However, some people still looked quite similar, suggesting they had used a disguise technique.
He made up his mind to kill them all, regardless of whether they were the ones he wanted to kill.
He lay in a secluded corner, watching as these people parked their carriages and horses.
There was still a young nun standing at the entrance. Seeing this large group of people, she figured they must have come to ask for lodging.
"Dear benefactors"
"Hello, little nun, we are out on business and would like to stay at your temple for a while."
"This is some incense for your company, please accept this as a small token of appreciation."
Wu Ziyan quickly took out a money pouch, knowing that temples also charged money.
Otherwise, with so many of them, they wouldn't be able to survive on nothing.
Another heavy purse; I wonder what brought this wind today.
They came one after the other to offer incense.
"Please come in, esteemed benefactors. It is a humble temple, so please bear with us."
The group all put their hands together in prayer before entering Hanlu Temple.
Wu Ziyan disliked temples, finding them eerie and gloomy.
However, in order to show his piety, he could not get into any physical contact with the men.
He had no choice but to walk over to Chu Yu's side and say, "Sister Chu Yu, I want to sleep with you tonight."
The sound was very soft, but Chu Qiu and the others heard it.
"Ziyan, I also need to protect the other two... bosses."
She couldn't very well say she was scared.
Saying you're scared in a place like this feels like you've done something wrong.
There was no other way but to grit their teeth and lead everyone to rest in the courtyard.
It would take a while to tidy up the room, so they had to find a place to sit down first.
Flame Cat observed the attitudes of those people from the shadows.
If she is particularly respectful to someone, that's probably her target.
Secondly, they observed the height. Wu Ziyan was considered short among them, so they killed the short ones first!
But they were always in one place, and she didn't have a good chance to make a move.
It seems we can only act when the vegetarian meal is served.
With so many people arriving, all the other nuns in the temple also came out.
The nun, holding a whisk, looked like a hermit with an air of otherworldly grace. After exchanging pleasantries with them, she said it was time to eat.
The thought that I could only eat vegetarian food here instantly made me lose my appetite.
Sure enough, all the worshippers gathered in the hall, almost like they were having a feast together!
Wu Ziyan didn't really want to eat, so he walked out of the main hall by himself.
The nun noticed that she had walked out alone, and her expression changed. She wondered if this person had noticed something.
She quickly smiled kindly and went outside.
Seeing that Wu Ziyan was alone, Yan seized the opportunity and slipped out from the other side.
The hidden dart is ready and can be fired at any time.
Wu Ziyan stood in front of the gate, looking at the darkening sky. Even his breath was white.
The nun quietly approached her: "Benefactor, why don't you eat the vegetarian meal with them?"
"Ah, the journey has been bumpy and I'm quite tired, so I can't eat much. Thank you for your concern, Master."
Yan saw that the nun had conveniently positioned herself in front of Wu Ziyan, making it difficult for her to make a move.
She aimed left and right, and the nun actually swayed left and right in response.
I really couldn't wait any longer, so I spun the hidden arrow and shot it directly at the nun. Who knew that this nun was actually a martial arts expert!
She felt a cold wind approaching, and although she turned to the side, she still couldn't dodge the arrow piercing her shoulder!
Wu Ziyan was extremely shocked, and the nun was also shocked, turning to look at Wu Ziyan: "Could you be people from the government?!"
Wu Ziyan: [? Ah, she's not here to kill me? What's wrong with this nun?!]
My mind raced, and upon careful consideration, I realized that Hanlu Temple, built on a mountaintop, was rather remote.
Moreover, it is quite far from the capital, so generally there are not many pilgrims.
Moreover, people in the capital usually go to Lingfo Temple in the city to burn incense.
So! These nuns here might not be real nuns anymore, and might be doing some shady business.
So if he didn't eat the vegetarian meal just now, and he greeted her so warmly and kindly, then there must be something wrong with the vegetarian meal.
But who was the person who fired that arrow from the shadows?
The nun in front of her was a head taller than her.
It was just a small hidden dart that pierced her shoulder, but it wouldn't have stopped him from killing her with a single punch.
She quickly pushed open the door to the main hall and shouted, "Don't eat!"
The food hadn't even been served yet, and no one had touched their chopsticks. They were all just staring at her blankly, wondering what was going on.
"There's something wrong with this temple; it's probably a fake nun who's deliberately blocking people's way!"
Yan was also stunned, so he, an assassin, went into the den of thieves.
She didn't need to lift a finger to prepare the vegetarian meal; it was already prepared inside!
Fortunately, she didn't eat it, and the nun went into the hall and closed the door.
"Why did you have to come to Hanlu Temple today of all days!"
Yan originally intended to hide aside and watch the show, but it turned out that the abbess ordered someone to go find her.
"It must have been these people who brought government officials with them. They even managed to injure me in secret just now!"
The once kind and gentle nuns suddenly turned into fierce and menacing figures.
They don't need to disguise themselves to switch faces at will; it's all thanks to their acting skills!
We haven't even left the capital's jurisdiction yet, and we've already encountered this kind of thing. When did public security become so bad?
Chu Qiu quickly drew his sword. Among their group, it seemed that only Wu Ziyan was not skilled in martial arts.
Even Yue'er has some skills.
Wu Ziyan hid among them, already exhausted and hungry from the journey.
"And then this happens again," she sighed, "what a curse!"
"Yue Rongbo You, you two stay by my side."
"Chu Qiu, you and Sister Chu Yu can handle that nun. The rest of the henchmen are for the sisters."
"Don't let them get away. Also, spread the word that the capital will send men to wipe out this den of thieves tonight."
She arranged everything so logically and systematically, as if they had already won.
Yan was harassed by several nuns and was attacked from the shadows.
The once quiet hall, where the two sides were locked in a standoff, suddenly erupted into a chaotic melee as everyone grabbed their weapons and began fighting!
The vegetarian food was scattered on the ground, swords and spears clanged, and some even used crossbows to shoot arrows from behind.
Wu Ziyan hid somewhat sleazily behind an overturned table.
Her ability to protect herself is the greatest comfort to them.
Fang Yuerong and Changsun Boyou each grabbed one of her hands.
In my nervousness, I didn't care how much force I used and pinched her until her skin turned red.
