Chapter 141
The two of them were still alive.
Lin Jinyan nodded calmly: "It wasn't long actually."
She put away her sword and walked over slowly.
"How are your injuries?"
"It's just a little skin injury, nothing serious."
Lin Jinyan continued: "How are the people in the city?"
"Lu Ren" was full of indignation: "That Wang Min is really hateful. He spread hostility in the city, induced the people to lose their minds and kill each other........."
As he said that, he lowered his head with great self-blame: "It's all my fault. I'm useless and failed to protect them for you."
"Why do you say it's for me?" Lin Jinyan was puzzled.
"Lu Ren" said calmly: "No matter what, Lord Lin, you have been stationed in Shanyin County for half a year, so you have some feelings. Seeing so many living people die tragically in front of you, you must be very heartbroken, right?"
Lin Jinyan looked into his eyes, silent for a long time, and did not answer.
After a while, she suddenly asked: "Where did Wang Min go?"
"He escaped."
"Escaped?" Lin Jinyan frowned, and a hint of accountability appeared in her eyes: "What are you doing?"
"Lu Ren" humbly bowed his hands and explained sincerely: "To be honest, Wang Min's methods are too insidious and bizarre, and even I was unfortunately tricked.
He may be afraid that you will kill the fox demon and then execute it together, so he fled for fear of crime. It was my incompetence that let him escape from under my nose."
Lin Jinyan stood on the top of the city, looking at the mountains and forests dyed red by the demon's blood in the distance, and slowly said: "You have worked hard, go and rest first, I will solve the mess in the city."
"Thank you, Lord Lin."
"Lu Ren" said goodbye and left.
Just after walking a few steps, Lin Jinyan suddenly called him again.
"Wait a minute, I'm hungry. I remember when we first met, you cooked a pot of chicken soup. The taste was very unique. Make it for me later."
"Lu Ren"'s face changed slightly. He turned around and said slowly: "Master Lin, you remembered it wrong. When we first met, I cooked fish soup. Did you fight with the fox demon for a long time and feel a little tired, causing some confusion in your memory?"
His answer was flawless and flawless.
Lin Jinyan waved her hand expressionlessly and said softly: "Maybe, you go and prepare first. I still have to deal with the affairs in the city. Bring me the soup when it's done."
"Leave it to me."
After "Lu Ren" walked away, Lin Jinyan's eyes instantly turned cold.
She stared at the back of the person walking calmly on the street, and always felt that he was both familiar and strange.
Is it a means of controlling people's hearts?
Lin Jinyan looked a little solemn, and she dared not jump to conclusions for now.
With the fox demon Zhang He being killed and Wang Min "fleeing for fear of crime", the root cause of this chaos has been completely eradicated.
Lin Jinyan casually found a guqin from the city, then sat cross-legged on the tower, calmed her mind, and began to play.
Soon, the melodious sound of the guqin came from the top of the city, flowing through every corner of the city like water.
The music was gentle and beautiful, like the spring breeze in March, and like the gentle whisper of a mother on the pillow in the middle of the night, which could soothe the restlessness and violence in everyone's heart.
Gradually, the riots and killings that could be seen everywhere in the city slowly stopped under the influence of the sound of the guqin.
"Lu Ren", who was making fish soup, naturally knew it well.
While adding firewood to the stove, he sensed every move in the city.
Fortunately, the poisonous insects only fell into a short state of stiffness and were not eliminated.
"It turns out to be just an ordinary means to affect emotions."
He raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and the uneasiness in his heart also faded away.
Emotions are just the fuse that causes killing.
As long as the poisonous insects are still there, the people in the city are always under his control.
When necessary, isn't it an important bargaining chip to threaten Lin Jinyan and the Demon Suppression Division?
So many people have died in the city, and the Demon Suppression Division is considered to be seriously derelict in its duty.
Even if he fails to sneak attack Lin Jinyan later, she will not dare to kill him easily.
After all, he can let these more than 30,000 people be buried together, and Lin Jinyan and the Demon Suppression Division will definitely not be able to bear the public resentment and public opinion pressure caused by this move.
..........
"Lord Lin, the fish soup you asked for is ready."
"Lu Ren" brought a pot of steaming fish soup to the tower and filled her with a bowl.
"Drink it while it's hot."
At this moment, he had a
Holding a dagger that was quenched with poison and extremely sharp.
"Lu Ren"'s plan was to attack Lin Jinyan at the moment when she was drinking soup, when her vision was blocked by the bowl of soup and her defense was the most relaxed.
If he suddenly attacked at this time, she would definitely not have time to react.
Even if she was lucky enough to avoid the vital point, the poison on the dagger was enough to take half of her life.
The most important thing was that it could instantly disintegrate her combat power, making her numb all over and unable to call on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
In this way, the biggest threat to him could be solved.
"Lu Ren" had a calm expression, without any emotional changes, and just respectfully handed the bowl of soup to Lin Jinyan who was sitting cross-legged with both hands.
Lin Jinyan slowly raised her eyes, took the bowl of soup with one hand, and asked a question before drinking: "Does it sound good?"
"Lu Ren" was startled and guessed that Lin Jinyan was still testing him.
However, he did not show any panic, with a faint smile on his face, and said calmly: "It is nice to listen to, but Lord Lin has reminded that although your piano sound is beautiful, it should not be listened to too much."
This is the last picture of Lin Jinyan that appeared when Wang Min searched Lu Ren's memory.
He didn't know what happened after that, and it all depended on improvisation.
Fortunately, he knew the answer to Lin Jinyan's probing question.
After hearing his answer, Lin Jinyan's cold face showed a hint of sarcasm.
"Lord Lin, what's wrong?"
"This soup... doesn't taste right."
"How could that be? I made it exactly the same way as last time, and... you haven't even tasted it yet, so how do you know it doesn't taste right?"
Lin Jinyan said, "The heat, time, and seasoning can all be restored one-to-one. But if the person who makes the soup is wrong, can the taste still be the same?"
"Lu Ren" looked confused: "What does Lord Lin mean?"
"Are you going to continue pretending? Lord Wang Min?" Lin Jinyan suddenly stood up and threw the soup bowl in her hand at "Lu Ren".
The hot soup splashed all over him, and a mist blinded his eyes.
In this brief interval, Lin Jinyan slapped him with a palm.
"Lu Ren" heard the harsh palm wind, realized the danger, and quickly dodged to the side.
"Are you crazy?"
He stood up in embarrassment and complained to Lin Jinyan with dissatisfaction.
Wang Min still firmly believed that this was just a test.
Lin Jinyan said coldly: "Leave his body, otherwise, I want you dead."
After feeling the strong murderous intent emanating from her, Wang Min finally realized that he had been exposed.
"When did you find out?"
"Since entering the city, I have never believed you, but I lacked convincing evidence before."
"Lu Ren" shook his head and laughed at himself: "Although the memories between him and you that I have come into contact with are relatively limited, you have not known each other for a long time."
He looked at Lin Jinyan with an inquiring look.
"Do you know him so well?"
"No, I don't know him." Lin Jinyan shook her head gently and said: "I only believe in my intuition."
Hearing this, "Lu Ren"'s face twitched unconsciously.
"So, you suspected me and attacked me just because of an intuition?"
If this is true, then the woman in front of her is really crazy.
Isn't she afraid of killing the wrong person?
What's more... even if she really killed "herself", only Lu Ren would die, and his body would not be harmed at all.
"Based on intuition alone, I will not act rashly, but you left a huge flaw."
