Chapter 4 Leave such trivial matters as murder and arson to me.
Even though she was indoors, Xiao Muyu still instinctively looked up at the sky.
"No, tomorrow is the night of the full moon."
(Every time the moon is full, the original owner of the body, Xiao Jin, will undergo some changes, especially in his pupils...)
Xiao Muyu finally came to her senses: "Jin'er, stop quickly... Jin'er!"
Xiao Jin's series of unusual events came too suddenly, so much so that even his mother, Xiao Muyu, was unable to react immediately.
[Given the excessive cruelty and inhumanity of the methods of revenge (continuing even after the people are already thoroughly dead), deduct 1 point of Strength... Increase Agility by 2]
[Reminder: Once any value reaches zero, life ends.]
"Oh my god, it's your grandma's aunt!"
Xiao Jin, extremely annoyed, almost burst into a tirade!
I initially thought it wasn't thorough enough and would result in a deduction of stat points, but this damn system has gone even further, being far too cruel...
Impression: All initial values are 1. If this strength value is reduced by 1 point, wouldn't that be...? At this moment, Xiao Muyu's voice came from beside me.
Coming to his senses, Xiao Jin collapsed to the ground (was he going to die again after just being reborn?), his fists covered in bright red blood, whether it was his own blood or the blood of the disfigured and utterly dead Muramasa, he couldn't tell.
"Jin'er, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Muyu leaned closer and looked into Xiao Jin's eyes, as if she had some doubts.
Meanwhile, the two men who were still standing there in astonishment looked at Xiao Jin with surprise, confusion, and bewilderment in their eyes, as if Xiao Jin was an unreasonable being in their eyes.
Looking up at Xiao Muyu, Xiao Jin barely managed to steady himself (at least he wasn't dead yet): "No, no..." He didn't know how to respond.
In his previous life, Xiao Jin not only killed people, but also once single-handedly fought more than thirty people with a large knife, scaring them out of their wits. It can be said that no one in the underworld dared to provoke him.
Twisted mind and violent tendencies—Xiao Jin in his previous life!
The killing he had just committed and the system had somewhat triggered Xiao Jin's violent tendencies, to the point that he temporarily forgot about his rebirth and the people around him.
After confirming that her son, who had been behaving abnormally, was physically unharmed, Xiao Muyu stopped questioning Xiao Jin, who seemed somewhat dazed, and got up to turn to the two men.
"Why didn't you make a move then!" Xiao Muyu's eyes, no longer cold, questioned him with sharp and intimidating force.
Taking advantage of this moment, without giving him a chance to think, Xiao Jin immediately looked at the system subtitles...
Upon hearing the voice, the older man did not respond. After a moment's hesitation, he knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and the scarred man followed closely behind him.
Judging from their posture, they were at Xiao Muyu's mercy.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Muyu's emotions calmed down considerably, but she didn't speak again, her thoughts unknown.
After settling down and living in seclusion in Qingxi Village, Xiao Muyu ordered the Blood Guards to put everything aside and not interfere with the lives of the mother and son.
Despite their reluctance, Ren Xuewei ultimately obeyed orders and left Qingxi Village one after another.
However, every year on the eve of the full moon and on some special days, they would return to Qingxi Village to secretly protect Xiao Muyu and her son.
Xiao Muyu chose to acquiesce to this after learning about it.
But this whip wound... almost killed Xiao Jin (in fact, it had already killed the original owner of Xiao Jin).
As Xiao Muyu fell silent, the older man glanced at Xiao Jin, who seemed to be in a meditative state, and a long-lost light flashed in his eyes, which were originally full of vicissitudes.
The scarred man beside him, though not looking at Xiao Jin after kneeling on one knee, appeared visibly excited.
moment.
"Commander Wang!" After a moment's thought, he said, "You two, dispose of the body."
Command?
"Did I hear that right?! Miss... Miss actually called me Commander!"
The older man, the Blood Guard Commander, Wang Suiyue. Long before Qingxi Village, Xiao Muyu had stopped using the title of commander, signifying that he had let go of all grudges.
Hearing those two words again now means... Wang Suiyue, the Blood Guard Commander, hasn't felt excited or thrilled in countless years. His blood, which had seemed to have frozen, is burning again.
The scarred man remained kneeling on one knee, his fists clenched so tightly his body trembled noticeably!
More than ten years have passed, and the word "commander" means—Miss has "returned"!
More importantly—Xiao Jin!
Even though what happened to Xiao Jin was too unusual, his bloodthirstiness, decisiveness, and the aura he exuded all had a trace of the old city lord (Xiao Muyu's father). The chilling light in his eyes was something that even the old city lord had never had back then.
At this moment, I heard the word "commander" from Xiao Muyu's mouth again!
Just as Commander Wang and the scarred man stood up to dispose of the body, Xiao Muyu suddenly remembered something: "Wait!"
"Tomorrow is the day the Iron Slaughter Guards (the Ironclad Guards of Shenzhou Kingdom, popularly known as the Iron Slaughter Guards) will come to the village to collect grain taxes."
The so-called grain tax was the grain that villagers paid to the imperial court.
In the past, grain taxes were collected in advance by the village head, who would go door-to-door to collect them, waiting for the Iron Guard to come and collect them. Now, the grain has already been collected, but the village head...
Whenever the Iron Slaughter Guards came to collect grain, the villagers would all hide far away. Only the village head would nod and bow, flattering and fawning, to send the devilish Iron Slaughter Guards away.
The villagers were somewhat grateful to the village head, after all, the name "Ironclad Guard" was not without reason.
The slightest displeasure was met with immediate execution; rumors circulated that due to a significant discrepancy in the grain quantity, the Iron Slaughter Guard massacred the entire village...
In the past, the village head would "receive" the Iron Slaughter Guards to hand over grain. Now that the Iron Slaughter Guards are about to arrive, how should they hand over the grain in the safest way?
Xiao Muyu was thinking just that...
Although she was a woman, Xiao Muyu was always meticulous and calculated in everything she did... The 'body swap and fake death' and the journey from the Northern Region to Qingxi Village in the Southern Region were all done by Xiao Muyu.
But no one is perfect. Xiao Muyu, who had kept the village head in suspense for years, never expected the village head to use his son to pressure him like this. The key was that Xiao Muyu wanted his son to live an "ordinary" life in Qingxi Village; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken a mere village head seriously.
"The village chief must know that Liu Yu (the village chief's wife) is here." Xiao Muyu said decisively, her tone softening. "And right now, the only one who can deliver the grain on behalf of the village chief is Liu Yu."
Wang Suiyue and his companion stood ramrod straight, awaiting the next words.
In the past, Xiao Muyu made many decisions... Miss has really "returned"!
"Although Liu Yu hasn't given up on the village head, she's not exactly a virtuous woman. You two go and tell her clearly that the village head is dead. If she cooperates in handing over the grain, her life will be spared!"
Xiao Muyu had intended to live an ordinary life with her son, but a small village headman offended her, and murderous intent gradually crept into her eyes!
"More than ten years have passed, and I still don't know who that Chu traitor is..."
Of the original 136 members of the Xiao family, only Xiao Muyu and her son survived. If it weren't for the body being switched and the death being staged, they would have searched for them relentlessly, leaving no stone unturned.
That's why Xiao Muyu's life is good enough.
Her son, Xiao Jin, was her Achilles' heel!
Just as Wang Suiyue and his companion were about to leave after receiving their orders, Xiao Muyu coldly added, "Except for Liu Yu..." He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Kill them all!"
this......
Killing the entire Muramasa family just as the Iron Slaughter Guards are about to arrive is not like the young lady's style.
Despite their doubts, Wang Suiyue and his companion clasped their hands in a fist salute and replied in unison, "We will certainly handle this cleanly and efficiently!"
"etc!"
Just as Wang Suiyue and his companion turned to leave, Xiao Jin, who had been 'silent' for a long time, called out urgently.
The three were puzzled and looked over in the same direction...
"Leave murder and arson to me!" Xiao Jin, who hadn't had time to organize his thoughts, looked somewhat embarrassed, but his eyes were resolute and brooked no argument.
"What?" / "It's nothing?" / "You came?"
