Counting on your fingers, the fifth marriage is coming

Chapter 199 Hunting and Counter-hunting (Part )

"I, I just prayed for amulets in the temple, just to pray for everything to go well. I didn't do anything else."

The handsome men were obviously a little panicked. Xie Yujin's visit came so unexpectedly that they were not even mentally prepared and they were all looking for excuses.

Xie Yujin raised her hand lightly, picked up the small teapot, tilted it slightly, and dropped the tender green tea leaves into the purple clay pot: "Indeed, praying to the gods and Buddhas is the old custom of Jingguo, but His Majesty now hates this very much. You want to succeed His Majesty's future harem, but you don't understand His Majesty's heart."

He sighed in disappointment, then poured boiling water into the pot accurately. In an instant, the fragrance of tea filled the air, and the tea leaves tumbled and expanded in the water.

"I, I will hand over the things immediately. I am not worthy of carrying these anymore."

"Me too. I was foolish to pin my hopes on this thing."

Fearing that they would miss out on the chance to be selected for the palace, the handsome men had made their decision, even though they were reluctant.

Xiu Nan decisively pulled out the talisman bag and embroidered bag that he had "worked so hard" to obtain and threw them aside. If it weren't for being ungraceful and inappropriate, they would have wanted to step on them a few times to show their firm attitude.

They thought they could escape this disaster by doing this, but they underestimated Xie Yujin's intentions. He made this special trip with the purpose of eliminating dissidents and keeping all the participants of this palace show under his control.

"I have received your grace and kindness, so I should be loyal to you. I should investigate the matter carefully."

Gather the pure tea soup in the fairness cup, pick up the fairness cup, and evenly divide the tea into each exquisite tea cup. The tea fragrance will rise in the air, refreshing your heart.

Xie Yujin's gaze fell on the teacups, her eyes like an unfathomable deep pool.

"The next step is to check whether anyone has used evil magic to seduce Sheng En with ulterior motives."

At this time, Nangong Fei, who was dressed as the cousin of Prince Shou, was also among them. He thought to himself: His Majesty is the best in magic, who else in the world can bewitch her?
I'm afraid Xie Yujin has ulterior motives behind this action, right?
But this was exactly what he wanted.

If they wanted to find out clues, they could only uncover the methods of ordinary magicians. They would definitely not be able to find out the magic skills on him, so Nangong Fei was not nervous at all.

Instead, he was watching the show as if he was watching these handsome men being played around by Xie Yujin, getting flustered and uneasy.

Seeing that the deterrence achieved the desired effect, Xie Yujin ordered the palace guards to organize the people into seven rows and have them line up for inspection one by one.

He stood up, walked forward, and glanced at them one by one.

The Tingwei clasped his fists and said, "Master, we searched them all, and this is what we found on them."

More than twenty handsome men were pushed out by the guards. They were unwilling and kept their heads down with stiff hands and feet.

Looking at the pile of miscellaneous things on the ground, he knew there was definitely something wrong without even checking.

"What are these?" His perfectly proportioned face showed just the right amount of confusion.

You Xiunan quickly explained: "This is a jade pendant. It is definitely not some kind of evil magic."

"This is just a sachet."

"This thing is not mine. I don't know how it got to me."

In short, they started to argue at once, and Xie Yujin looked calm and seemed to be listening patiently without any interruption.

Seeing his calm expression, the handsome men felt uneasy for some reason, and their voices gradually became smaller and smaller until they stopped.

"Are you finished?"

They didn't dare to say anything, but just looked at him anxiously.

"These objects are all vessels that have been cast with spells. When you went to the Wanbao Weapon Shop, everything you bought was recorded. Now this list is in my hand. Do you need me to read them out one by one?"

Their faces changed when they heard this, and they were immediately terrified. "The most taboo thing in the palace is to use witchcraft against His Majesty. You have made a serious mistake now, so you must accept the punishment."

Xie Yujin sighed deeply, revealing his most genuine sorrow.

欻!
The guards had stern faces, with their swords drawn and pressed against the neck of the bewildered Xiu Nan. Without even a moment for him to react, they were bleeding on the spot.

"what--"

The handsome men who were not executed nearby were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, kicking their legs and trying to escape.

Nangong Yu’s face also turned pale, and he stood there in a daze.

When the guard's knife was pointed at his head, the cold blade touching his warm skin made him break out in a cold sweat. He closed his eyes in fear, his eyelashes trembling violently.

He subconsciously shouted loudly: "Xu Shanshan, save me——"

"Wait a minute."

Xie Yujin immediately stopped the guards who were about to execute him. He walked forward with interest, and his ethereal voice was very gentle: "Who were you calling for help just now?"

Nangong Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his heart still pounding. He met Xie Yujin's pair of inquiring eyes, clear and gentle, and couldn't help but shivering.

He knew that if he didn't answer Xie Yujin's question well, he would be doomed.

But in fact, he didn't know who could save him just now, he just called out that name instinctively.

"me……"

"If you don't answer well..." Xie Yujin took the knife from the guard's hand, put it against Nangong Yu's chest, and kindly reminded him: "You may not have the chance to speak again."

In the crowd, Gu Yuejiarong did not react to the massacre at first. In the blink of an eye, he saw more than a dozen bodies of guilty handsome men lying on the ground. Then he realized how cruel Xie Yujin was.

Seeing that he was forcing another frightened Xiu Nan to answer, he wanted to step forward immediately, but the next second, a strong hurricane blew up behind him.

Ten yellow talismans with spells painted on them with cinnabar evolved into fireballs as big as heads in mid-air and rushed towards Xie Yujin. The Chief Justice reacted in time and immediately used his scabbard to chop back a fireball.

"There is an assassin, protect Master Xie."

"Just you?"

A handsome man jumped up high. On his wrist hung a string of beads, which made a clear sound of water when it was shaken. The guards who rushed forward immediately felt a splitting headache and groaned with their hands covering their heads.

The next second, a needle-like blue light shot out, and the guards in the front row screamed and died.

Seeing the chaos, Gu Yuejiarong took the opportunity to rush forward and quickly pulled away the Xiunan who seemed to be frightened.

Nangong Yu actually recognized Gu Yue Jiarong. He had seen him in Sheyuan when he was with Xu Shanshan, and he also knew that he was Xu Shanshan's fiancé.

For some reason, Nangong Yu felt uncomfortable being saved by Gu Yue Jiarong, so he pulled his hand back and distanced himself from him.

Gu Yuejiarong was confused by his actions and looked at him with a frown.

At this time, the situation on Xie Yujin's side was not good. The magicians mixed in with the group of handsome men were besieging and chasing him. One of them put his hands together and uttered a string of mysterious spells. In a blink of an eye, the man's pupils suddenly changed. One eye was normal, and the other eye turned into a beast's pupil.

Half of his body also changed. His hands turned into animal claws and he had amazing jumping ability. He leaped up and went straight for Xie Yujin's throat.

Seeing these people looking so confident, Xie Yujin wanted to laugh. He did not hide but stood there calmly.

At this moment, a mysterious and powerful power wave came from his body, and a huge ice-blue curtain rose from under Xie Yujin's feet, blocking all murderous intentions for him.
