Farming in the Apocalypse: My Assassin Wife is Super Gentle 163

Chapter 163: Still Needs Some Time

Xiao Huan shook her head. “Killing them one by one is too slow. We can assign them missions. The difficulty of the missions can be high or low, and we also need the cooperation of some old soldiers. This is a long-term matter and has to be done slowly.”

Over ten thousand wizards, even if they lost contact, would still have their own tacit understanding. And if they were all suddenly cut off, the wizards would definitely quickly notice that something was wrong. If they were to attack in a group, it would waste a lot of military strength.

“Slowly? Even you have been tricked. What about those soldiers? Who knows how many soldiers have been tricked now? This matter cannot be slow. At worst, we’ll just have a fight,” Xiao Feng retorted with a frown.

Zhang Can’er turned back and forth between the two of them. She felt that if they continued to discuss, there would be no good solution. Doing this kind of thing should not be so hesitant. Losing a little military strength was better than losing more. So she felt that Xiao Feng was right.

Xiao Huan lowered her head in thought for a long time, as if she had also figured it out. “Then let’s arrange it as soon as possible. Let’s gather the people if we can. Xiao Feng, you give me a plan later, and we’ll finalize it in detail.”

“Okay.”

After the meeting, Jin Fengqing immediately ran to Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng, took their hands, and was about to go out, like a family of three.

Auntie Fang quietly followed behind them, her lowered eyes filled with complicated emotions.

Zhang Can’er picked up Jin Fengqing and suddenly thought of what she had heard yesterday. If it weren’t for Wan Feng seducing her, she would have known long ago.

She turned her head to look at the culprit and snorted softly. “Fengqing, tell your sister, what’s the deal with Li Yitian?”

Jin Fengqing blinked her eyes, puzzled. “Doesn’t my sister know?”

“I don’t know.”

“But why does Second Sister know?” At this point, Jin Fengqing’s eyes widened in surprise. “Second Sister actually dared to hide it from you!”

With that, she turned to look at Wan Feng.

Wan Feng touched her nose, her heart pounding. “I, I didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Tell me, what exactly happened?”

She remembered that when she had just arrived, she had made a move on Li Yitian. This was the first time. The Golden Rope Connection had suffered heavy losses, but in the end, Li Yitian had paid the price.

“If I want to come over, to be more specific, if I want to join Xiao Huan’s camp, Li Yitian will definitely come out to stop me. So Xiao Huan’s meaning is to let me strike first. As long as Li Yitian dies, the obstacles to my joining will be much less.”

“After all, the Jin family’s power still has some status among the various federations. So if we do nothing, all we will get is wave after wave of assassinations. Those people will not let me join Xiao Huan’s camp as I wish.”

Jin Fengqing briefly explained the matter, but Zhang Can’er’s heart clenched. Li Yitian was, after all, the Deputy Lord of the Starshine Federation. There must be many bodyguards around him. It was not an ordinary difficulty to want to kill him.

“So Li Yitian captured you? That’s why Xiao Huan went to save you?”

Jin Fengqing shook her head. “If he could capture me, wouldn’t my assassins be in vain? It was just that at that time, the Golden Rope Connection had suffered heavy losses and was in a stalemate with Li Yitian’s subordinates. And Xiao Huan was also afraid that something would happen to me, so her people had been hiding in the dark, which was a backup plan.”

Zhang Can’er nodded, her heart slightly relieved. “Then is Li Yitian dead?”

“Not yet, but he will be soon. He was poisoned with a poison that I personally developed. It would be his great fortune if he can last for half a month.”

Zhang Can’er raised an eyebrow. “You also know how to research poison?”

“Hmph! As the head of the Jin family, of course I have to know everything.”

Jin Fengqing slightly lifted her small head, a look of pride on her face.

Auntie Fang, who was behind her, was stunned for a moment. How long had it been since she had seen such a childish family head? Probably a long time ago, she hadn’t seen it.

The burden of the Jin family was all on this child. The things she had to learn every day were complicated and difficult to understand, but she had to learn them. Not learning was a dead end.

Auntie Fang sighed. She also understood why the family head liked these two people. It was not just because they had saved her life. The main reason was that these two people had no other intentions and were truly treating the family head as a child.

Here with them, Jin Fengqing could feel what it was like to be relaxed, what it was like to be willful, and what it was like to be happy.

When they reached their residence, Zhang Can’er wanted to invite Auntie Fang in for a sit-down, but this butler’s thinking was too stubborn. She refused to go in no matter what.

“Sister, Auntie Fang pays attention to etiquette. You shouldn’t force her,” Jin Fengqing said in a low voice.

Zhang Can’er looked at the tired woman in front of her and sighed. “Then I’ll pour Auntie Fang a cup of water. The weather is a bit cool now. It might be cold to stand outside.”

“Then thank you,” Auntie Fang finally relented.

…

Zhang Can’er leaned against Wan Feng’s embrace, her heart a little worried.

“Do you think that if we hadn’t come back, those soldiers wouldn’t have been planted with wizards? Now we’re also thinking of a way to deal with the Transmutants.”

“Don’t be anxious. Once Xiao Huan has made a plan, she will start to act. At that time, we can set off.”

Zhang Can’er sighed. “The longer it drags on, the more flustered I get. I always feel that something is about to happen. And until now, there has been no news about the research on those Fertilizer Flowers. I don’t know what the situation is.”

Wan Feng pursed her lips and said softly, “How about the four of us set off first? When the army is ready, they can go and meet us.”

Zhang Can’er’s eyes lit up. She looked up at Wan Feng. “I think that’s possible.”

The two of them quickly packed their things and also notified Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan, planning to set off early the next morning.

After telling Xiao Huan and the others about the plan, they were met with extreme opposition.

Xiao Feng frowned, her voice also a lot louder. “Do you know how many people are staring at you? Do you still remember Zhu Guangyao? If you dare to take a step out on your own, he will send people to assassinate you the next moment. Even if those people are dealt with by you, you are only four people. How can you withstand wave after wave of assassinations? They can wear you down to death.”

“Are you sick? We’re going to deal with the Transmutants. It’s also beneficial to them. Why do they have to do this?” Ke Yajun said with great confusion.

“Li Yitian is about to die. Zhu Guangyao is the most likely person to take his place. Yesterday, the Golden Rope Connection found out that he is very close to the wizards. At least half of the wizards in the army are related to him. So I guess he has already stood on the side of the wizards and is being used as a pawn.”

Xiao Feng’s low voice sounded like a deep and dark ghost, stirring up layers of fear in Zhang Can’er’s heart.

Wizards had actually infiltrated the high levels. Besides the discovered Zhu Guangyao, who else was there? How many people could still be trusted? And how many of Xiao Huan’s people had joined the wizard camp?

Zhang Can’er lowered her head, her eyes showing no emotion. She asked in a deep voice, “Did you get any other news? How many of the high-level officials have joined? And how many have been controlled?”

Xiao Huan sighed. “It’s not clear for now. The wizards’ witchcraft is too formless. We don’t have too many people to investigate. We still need some time.”
