Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1639 Substitute Bride 43
In fact, Ding could have continued to brainwash these people, but she was afraid that there would be people following behind to remind them of their memories. So she decided to kill them. That way, even if there were people following behind to remind them, she would only need to deal with that one person. She wouldn't need to be reminded by the people behind them to regain their memories, and she wouldn't be surrounded by a group of people again.

Ding could kill people directly with energy, but she didn't have enough energy. However, she could exchange energy for weapons and use those weapons to kill people.

Of course, killing with weapons is inherently unsafe; it's much more convenient to kill with energy.

But she doesn't have enough energy now, so she can only kill people with weapons.

Soon, Ding exchanged for a laser gun and used it to kill people.

Although Ms. Ding, an ancient person, had never used this device before, she quickly mastered it because it was easy to operate.

Those people saw Ding holding a strangely shaped silver object, pointing it and firing it precisely, without seeing any movement—this laser gun couldn't emit light—they only saw people screaming and dying. They couldn't help but feel a little scared, after all, humans are afraid of things beyond their comprehension.

Many people then prepared to flee.

Seeing that someone was escaping, Ding did not intend to pursue them.

After all, what she needed to do was find a place to hide as soon as possible, rather than continue fighting with these people, lest the Five Cities Garrison arrive and she be unable to leave.

She wasn't afraid of her having weapons being exposed. After all, even if she killed everyone, their owners would know she had weapons just by looking at the corpses, so it didn't matter to them.

Moreover, as long as she has energy, she can exchange for many kinds of weapons. When those people go back, they can just tell others what weapons they have. Next time, she may use a different weapon, so the intelligence is useless.

The crucial thing is that she needs to hide quickly, otherwise the fighting will attract even more people, and it's uncertain whether she'll be able to hide anymore.

Just as Ding saw that the group of people had left and was preparing to hide, another group of people appeared.

Ding may not know that she killed the Grand Secretary, and the Grand Secretary's letter was not kept secret by his family. It was passed on to some people who were watching her, so they all knew that she had escaped and might have fled to her parents' home. Therefore, a lot of people from her parents' home were watching her.

The group that came to capture her earlier failed. Actually, there was another group waiting in the wings, lying in ambush and watching the battle unfold. They were waiting for the first group to fight the Ding family to the death and exhaust their strength before jumping out to capture her.

When Ding saw that there were still people trying to arrest her, she finally panicked. After all, she had already used up most of her energy. If there were more people, she would run out of energy and how would she deal with them?
If I can't handle it, won't I get caught and locked up again?
To be honest, locking her up is like being in prison. After all, keeping her in a room and not being able to go anywhere is just like being in prison.

She never wanted to stay in prison again! She had been in prison for several years since the first person kidnapped and locked her up, and her life was much harder than in her previous life!

She was reborn with special abilities, and she was here to live a good life, not this kind of painful one!
Ding did not want to continue "serving imprisonment," so naturally she had to fight back to the death.

Anyway, those people were only trying to catch her, not daring to hurt her. This made them hesitant, while she could unleash her full power. Comparing the two sides, she felt that she still had hope of escaping.

Ding was right. The group was indeed hesitant, but with so many of them, they could still catch a defenseless girl like her.

Soon enough, no matter how much Ding didn't want to go to jail, she was caught. Ding was also reluctant to die. Unlike Li San Niang, who was not afraid of death because she had been reborn several times and believed that she could be reborn again after death, Ding had only been reborn once and dared not say that she could be reborn again. Therefore, she naturally cherished her life. Seeing that she could not escape, she could only let them catch her.

Of course, she wasn't stupid. Seeing that she couldn't win, and considering that these people wanted to capture her and take her back, not kill her, she once pulled out a hairpin and pointed it at her throat, saying that if anyone touched her, she would commit suicide. She said that in this way, they would only be able to take the corpse back, and then they would probably not be able to explain themselves.

She certainly wouldn't actually commit suicide, since she couldn't bear to die, but that doesn't mean she couldn't threaten these people like that.

That's really true; taking the body back would definitely be a problem.

However, Ding underestimated the skills of these people. She tried to threaten suicide with the hairpin, but someone secretly hit her on the back of the hand with a small stone, causing her to release her grip in pain and drop the hairpin. Then, she was swarmed and captured by the group.

This time, the people who arrested her were much more cautious.

They placed her on a small island surrounded by water, probably because they heard she couldn't swim, so they put her in such a place so she wouldn't be afraid of flying or disappearing into the ground.

Not only was she placed on a small island surrounded by water, but many people were also stationed around her, completely blocking the lake. It was estimated that no one could get close to her, so there was no fear that she would be kidnapped.

Ding speculated about the man's identity, since the fact that he could make such an arrangement meant that he was very powerful, no less so than the previous prime minister.

Soon the person appeared. Ding discovered that the energy required to brainwash this person was much lower than that required for the Prime Minister, which surprised her. She had thought that this person was of higher status than the Prime Minister, but it turned out that he was not.
However, it is also possible that the other party is from a prominent family, but he himself is not an official, so his status is lower than that of the Grand Secretary, and the energy required to brainwash him is also lower.

However, her status is much lower than that of the Grand Secretary, so what is the purpose of bringing her back?
While thinking, Ms. Ding answered the man's question.

At first, everyone's questions were similar, all inquiring about her strength. After learning about her situation, the man began to get to the point, making Ding understand what this person wanted to do by bringing her back.

—This person wanted him to kill the young emperor and his half-brother.

Ah, so they want to make the late emperor's line end. After the late emperor's line ends, the only ones who will benefit are his two brothers, the former eldest prince and the third prince.

So, is the person who asked me to do this the eldest prince or the third prince?

This identity also made Ding understand why it takes much less energy to brainwash this person than it does to brainwash the prime minister.

One of the late emperor's brothers was a prince in leisure, with little status or position, naturally much lower than the chief minister, so it would require far less effort to brainwash him.

The reason why the other party has such a powerful force should be the force of people who followed him before.

This explains why, despite having such strong influence, the energy required for brainwashing is far less than that required for the prime minister.
