Feng Muchi could easily do things like lying. In addition, Xia Tan'er didn't realize that internal energy could regulate the pulse, so Xia Tan'er would really believe whatever she said.
"Let's bet. If General Lu loses, let him kneel in front of me, kowtow three times and call me daddy."
Xia Tan'er glanced at Feng Muchi in surprise. It was indeed very possible for him to say such nonsense, but she didn't believe that Lu Yihai would agree to such a thing.
"Honestly, what's the stakes?"
Feng Muchi pursed his lips and looked at Xia Tan'er with a bored expression.
"The truth is that if I win the bet, General Lu will allow me to serve as a general in his army for a day. If I lose, Fengyinglou will kill one person for him for free."
"It sounds like a pretty good deal."
Xia Tan'er was sure that Feng Muchi was not lying, and then she let go of her hand holding his wrist.
"But it's hard to say the odds of winning. I don't guarantee that I will win. Don't rely on me if you lose."
A majestic general of the Lu family, he had commanded the army for many years and fought countless victories. How could a little girl like her, who was just starting out, be able to defeat such a person casually?
To put it nicely, this competition on the art of war was just the impulsiveness of two people. To put it more seriously, it was simply a competition between modern and ancient war studies. She had taken a national defense course and had participated in military drills, but she still lacked actual combat experience. She didn't dare to talk too much. If she lost, it would be a shame for herself.
"Hey, Tan'er, I've rarely seen you so unsure of yourself."
Feng Muchi thought to himself that it was a good thing that the bet was on whether Xia Tan'er and Dong Lingjiu would be together in the end, otherwise they would have suffered a big loss.
No matter how powerful Xia Tan'er is, after all, Feng Muchi still thinks that a woman in a boudoir can know the art of war. Although Lu Yimo used soldiers like a god back then, Xia Tan'er had never learned these things before, and there is no need to compete in this competition. I can see the ending.
“Not everything goes as I wish, I can only say I’ll do my best.”
Xia Tan'er showed a faint smile, as if she didn't care at all whether she won or lost.
Xia Lingzhi, who was listening quietly on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Tan'er, brother will also help you. Don't be afraid of uncle."
"This matter is a competition between my uncle and I. We shouldn't ask for help from others. Tan'er would like to thank Master Xia for his kindness."
Xia Lingzhu smiled, but couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"I don't know when Tan'er will be able to call me brother."
The interlude came to an end, and the carriage stopped outside Dali Temple soon after.
Xia Tan'er was helped out of the carriage by two men. When she looked up, she saw three gold-rimmed characters "Dali Temple" hanging on the dark door. The only touch of gold made Dali Temple solemn and solemn. I dare not look directly at its majesty.
Xia Lingfu looked at Xia Tan'er's dazed look and couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. This was the Dali Temple under his jurisdiction! How could he not be proud to make his own sister look like this?
"Come in, Tan'er, you don't have to be restrained here, it's just like going home."
"Go home... Whose house looks so spooky and scary?"
Feng Muchi, a killer who had killed countless people, still found it scary, so he complained in disgust and hid behind Xia Tan'er.
"Tan'er, this place is not good. What if the turbid air seriously injures the fetus? Otherwise, let's not go in."
"Young Master Feng, how come my good Dali Temple has turned into a gloomy place in your mouth? Everyone knows this. Dali Temple is the place with the strongest yang energy in Dongling. All kinds of monsters and ghosts can come here. Show yourself.”
Not only did he steal his sister, but he also wanted to slander Dali Temple. Feng Muchi was too bullying.
Xia Lingfu was furious and immediately shouted back.
Seeing the quarrel between the two, Xia Tan'er couldn't help but hold her forehead. She had never seen that Xia Lingfu had such a childish side before. She was really getting more and more active.
"Tan'er, Mr. Xia is bullying me, you have to make the decision for me."
"Tan'er, you have to see clearly when I have ever bullied him. It was obviously him who started it."
"It's you who bullied me."
"You were the one who started it."
The quarrel between the two became more and more intense in her ears, and Xia Tan'er immediately couldn't bear it anymore.
"That's enough. How old are we when we get into a quarrel in the street over such a trivial matter? We're not afraid of being laughed at. It's nice to be the Minister of Dali Temple and the Young Master of Fengying Tower."
"Feng Muchi, I didn't see you having nightmares when you were killing people. Now you are being pretentious. You want to go in or not. If you don't go in, you will wait outside."
Xia Tan'er couldn't control Xia Lingfu, so she had to tell Feng Muchi, and walked away from the two of them to Dali Temple in an awe-inspiring manner.
Seeing that Xia Tan'er was about to abandon him, Feng Muchi couldn't bear it any longer. He glared at Xia Lingfu unhappily, and immediately followed Xia Tan'er in a flattering manner, shouting Xia Tan'er's name.
"Tan'er, don't be angry. I was just joking with you. Tan'er, just wait for me."
Looking at Feng Muchi who was so out of his mind, Xia Lingfu suddenly felt that there was a reason why he lost to him. He really couldn't be as shameless as Feng Muchi.
"Could Tan'er really just fall for this trick?"
The more Xia Lingfu thought about it, the more likely it became. With Xia Tan'er's vengeful temperament, Feng Muchi was the one who wanted to kill her, but now he could stay with her as a bodyguard and still be very protective. It was this trick that confused her.
Xia Lingzhen took a look, looked around to make sure no one was staring at him, and hurriedly tried to twist his body to imitate Feng Muchi.
"Tan'er~ Hey...it can't be done, it can't be done..."
Just twisting like that almost made him vomit.
"That's all, let's find another way. Tan'er, wait for me."
Xia Lingfu quickly caught up with his hands behind his back.
Led by the Yamen, several people turned left and right and finally arrived outside the cell after a stick of incense.
"Sir, this is where those suspects are detained."
"Well, open the door."
"Yes, sir, quickly, open the door."
The prison head picked up the key from his waist and was about to put it into the keyhole when suddenly a heartbreaking scream came from the cell.
Xia Tan'er and Xia Lingfu looked at each other and felt something bad.
"Quick, open the door!"
"yes!"
The prison boss turned the key in a panic, but it couldn't be opened. Xia Tan'er turned her head and looked at Feng Muchi.
Feng Muchi nodded, took three steps back, and kicked the cell door open with a dash.
Several people hurriedly entered, but were stunned by the scene in front of them.
There were five suspects in the empty cell, but at this time, the other four suspects looked horrified, huddled in the corner with their eyes wide open, and looked at the woman in the cell opposite.
The woman was lying in a pile of straw covered in blood, staring blankly at the ceiling of the cell. Her abdomen had been cut open, and the intestines exposed inside were slowly squirming like a worm.
