Hearing that Lian Wu forgave them so generously, several guards were moved and promised repeatedly that they would not dare to make any mistakes again.

Lian Wu waved her hand, her smile still gentle and warm, like the spring breeze blowing on her face. She turned her head, but her eyes suddenly darkened.

Lian Wu did forgive these people magnanimously on the surface, but secretly remembered all these people in his heart.

These people all defected from Conong Rongzhi before, and they haven't figured out Lian Wu's temperament yet.

Lian Wu would never allow his subordinates to disobey him, even if they were talking about it behind the scenes.

In particular, while they secretly belittled Lian Wu, they were also promoting her nemesis Rong Zhi.

"Hmph..." Lian Wu snorted coldly in her heart. When she found the opportunity, she must let these people know the consequences of irritating her.

As night falls, the temperature difference in the desert is huge. The temperature is very low at night, which is an extreme contrast to the daytime.

Everyone lit bonfires and rested nearby.

Just when everyone fell into a deep sleep, Lian Wu opened her eyes and slowly stood up.

She looked around to make sure everyone was asleep, then walked somewhere.

That's where the guards who complained about Lian Wu rested during the day. At this moment, they were sleeping deeply and didn't know that the danger was approaching.

Lian Wu gave a sneer, then adjusted her expression, walked to them, pretending to be anxious, "Wake up quickly, there is an emergency!"

The guards felt a little strange when they were woken up, but seeing Lian Wu's anxious expression, they thought it was really an emergency.

Satisfied, Lian Wu led them to a secluded place far away from the main camp. Even if there was any movement, it would be blown away by the night wind.

"Miss, what happened? It seems peaceful here and there is no danger?"

Several people looked at Lian Wu's back and asked strange questions.

Lian Wu finally turned around slowly, but the expression on her face made several guards feel strongly uneasy.

"Ah!" Several screams were blown away by the cold wind in the desert, leaving no trace.

Lian Wu wiped the blood on her hands, with a bloodthirsty smile on her face.

Behind her, several guards were obviously dead and died in extremely miserable conditions, which showed that the perpetrators were cruel.

Lian Wu thought that what he had just done had not been discovered. After sorting it out for a while, he returned to the camp.

What she didn't know was that after she left, another figure quietly appeared in front of the corpses.

Shen Yubai's eyes fell in the direction where Lian Wu left for a long time, and a hint of speculation flashed in his deep eyes.

Lian Wu thought that she was doing things carefully, but she didn't expect that Shen Yubai happened to see the scene just now.

Shen Yubai was thinking about Shen Yuexi at night and couldn't sleep, so he planned to get up and walk around. Unexpectedly, he noticed Lian Wu's unusual behavior, so he followed him quietly.

Shen Yubai remembered that those people had said bad things about Lian Wu during the day. At that time, Lian Wu was very generous and didn't seem to care. It turned out that he was waiting to kill them all now.

Lian Wu's hypocrisy reminded Shen Yubai of Shen Yuerong again, and she subconsciously felt disgusted.

He glanced at the dead guards again, but there was no sympathy in his eyes. He remembered that these people betrayed Rong Zhi.

The next morning, everyone got up and prepared to leave and continue their journey.

Lian Wu glanced in Rong Zhi's direction, with a hint of calculation flashing in his eyes.

"What's going on? There seems to be a strange smell in the air. Is there a monster approaching at night?" Lian Wu pretended to be surprised and fanned in front of his nose.

After hearing Lian Wu's words, the others subconsciously sniffed hard, but they did not notice the strange smell Lian Wu mentioned.

Lian Wu was not in a hurry and continued to move forward for a while.

"How come there are dead people here! This...isn't this someone from our team?"

Not long after, someone discovered the corpses from last night not far ahead.

Lian Wu hurriedly stepped forward, pretending not to know anything, covered her mouth and said in shock: "How could they... They were obviously fine yesterday! Did someone kill them?"

Several people went up to check the wounds of these people.

"These people were all killed with one blow, and they seemed to have suffered a great deal of pain before they died... This habit of using swords seems to be somewhat similar to... to the princess!"

When it came time to kill these people last night, Lian Wu deliberately used the tricks that Rong Zhi was accustomed to, which naturally caused such an effect.

As soon as these words came out, everyone started talking, "Look! These people who died seem to have betrayed Princess Rong Zhi before. Could it be that... it was the princess..."

Several suspicious eyes were cast on Rong Zhi, and many people speculated whether it was Rong Zhi who committed the murder.

This is exactly the development that Lian Wu wants to see, and it will not be in vain that she deliberately did it last night.

"That's enough, you all shut up. How can you say such nonsense? Sister, she is not such a petty person!"

Lian Wu looked sanctimonious and shouted rudely to stop everyone from talking about Rong Zhi.

But when Lian Wu said this, many people thought of what happened yesterday.

"If Rong Zhi is not such a fussy person, why did he deliberately humiliate the young lady yesterday and only give her a water-replenishing pill? That was clearly an act of revenge against the young lady!"

Lian Wu was very satisfied with this, but pretended to be displeased on the surface.

Rong Zhi did not respond at all, as if the person they were talking about was not her at all.

"Sister, don't take their words to heart. I believe you didn't do this." Lian Wu ran to Rong Zhi again.

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? Since they have betrayed me, I don't care about their life or death." Rong Zhi said this sentence coldly.

This statement seems a bit unkind, but there is nothing wrong in itself.

But people who were originally dissatisfied with Rong Zhi over-interpreted this sentence after hearing it, and it meant the opposite - because they didn't care about the life and death of those guards, they didn't care about killing them casually.

Lian Wu felt that Rong Zhi was so stupid that she would arouse everyone's imagination even if she didn't need to deliberately guide her.

After returning to the team, Lian Wu quietly sent a message to Rong Yan, telling Rong Yan about Rong Zhi's conspiracy to murder and secretly kill her men.

Lian Wu claimed that this approach caused panic among his subordinates. If this continues, it will be difficult to explore further, and the trip to the secret realm will most likely be affected.

Rong Yan replied quickly, and Lian Wu couldn't wait to open the letter.

After quickly reading the contents of the letter, the initial excitement on Lian Wu's face gradually dissipated and turned into anger and unwillingness.

Rong Yan didn't say anything. Instead, he scolded Lian Wu and asked her to lead the team back.

With a "tear" sound, Lian Wu was so angry that he tore up Rong Yan's letter completely. (End of chapter)
