Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The title of lucky general is a double-edged sword for Xu Huaiyi.

If you use it well, everyone will envy you.

If you don't use it properly, everyone will be afraid of you.

Xu Huaiyi was impatient with those roundabout ways. He believed that strength determined everything. Those who were afraid of him, tried to trip him up, or even tried to murder him, he would fight back with double the strength.

Even if he is an emperor, he will not submit to fate when faced with a life-and-death situation.

Gu Huanxi was not as free and easy as him. Ever since Xu Huaiyi set out on the journey back to Beijing, she had been worried and had not slept well. This time he was not protecting the King of Qi. Last time he brought more than a thousand elite troops, but this time there were only more than a hundred people, including the guards given by Sun Yu privately. Otherwise, the number would be even more modest.

There are more than a hundred people. If someone really wants to commit assassination, how can this number of people be enough?

At night, the two met in the car. Gu Huanxi was worried about him.

Xu Huaiyi was not impatient at all. "It's better if there are fewer people. If there are too many people, more people will die. I don't want to bear too many lives. It will be too stressful.

Besides, if Emperor Jianxing wants to crush us with numbers, then no matter how many people I bring, they won’t be enough to defeat him. When it comes to military force, who can be as domineering as him?

The King of Chu had been secretly operating for decades, but now he had to admit defeat.

How many people can I attract with my reputation?

Besides, I don’t want to rebel!

Don't worry, he probably won't do that. It's too ugly to eat."

Gu Huanxi frowned and said, "So he is playing dirty tricks?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "Well, it's very likely. The Royal Family is best at playing dirty tricks. So, if I get caught, I still have a fig leaf to help him block it.

Among these more than one hundred people, there are probably quite a few hidden spies he has planted. Don't be nervous, I'm definitely on guard. Their food and drinks are never handled by others, only what you prepare. The same goes for their clothes. They sleep in the RV. Even if they want to drug me in the middle of the night, it's useless. How can they do it?

Stab in the back?

It has to be possible to poke it. I don't take off my armor during the day and I'm wearing protective clothing. The enemy's strong bows can't penetrate me, so their efforts are useless.

Besides, there are not many people who can get within three meters of me, and I have a strong sense of self-defense.

Meng Yao sent people to assassinate me more than a dozen times before but failed. Are the people of Emperor Jianxing particularly powerful? "

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi sighed, "I'm afraid he will get angry out of shame and become completely shameless."

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "That's even better. Let the world see his true face and how he treats his meritorious officials harshly. Dayong hasn't even been at peace yet, but he's already killing the donkey after it's done its work. He'll have to be recorded in history books in the future."

If anything happens to him, no one will suspect him and will just think that he got what he deserved."

Seeing that he knew what was going on, Gu Huanxi said nothing more and finally reminded him, "In short, it's never too careful. Don't be careless because of the cheats."

Xu Huaiyi responded casually with "Yeah, yeah", and did not forget to tease her, "I'm still waiting to go home and have a son with you, I definitely can't capsize in this little ditch."

"..."

He even has the leisure to show off, and it seems that he really doesn't take Emperor Jianxing's methods seriously.

Gu Huanxi thought positively. Perhaps she was too nervous. Maybe Emperor Jianxing just wanted to remove Xu Huaiyi's military power and didn't want to kill him.

However, it wasn't long before reality crushed her hopes.

Xu Huaiyi's daily food and drink issues were all left to Wei Liang. Wei Liang's loyalty to him was unquestionable, and he was also very cautious in his work. Even so, Xu Huaiyi did not really touch the food.

On the surface, he ate all the food that Wei Liang brought in, but in reality, all the food was in the trash can of the RV.

Gu Huanxi secretly had someone catch a few rabbits to experiment with. At first, the food and drink were normal, but gradually, the rabbits started to behave abnormally. They became more and more listless every day, until eventually, they could no longer get up.

If it were a human, the symptoms would be even harder to detect. If they felt a little uncomfortable, they would just think it was due to fatigue from the journey. By the time they felt weak all over, they would have been terminally ill and could no longer be cured.

Obviously, this is a slow-acting poison that is not easily detected.

Gu Huanxi looked at the two dead rabbits with lingering fear, "How about sending more people over here to protect you?"

Xu Huaiyi refused without thinking, "No, there are you and my daughter. What if he attacks you? I can protect myself. I am fine now..."

"If poisoning doesn't work, then assassination will do."

"Then let him kill one and try."

He is not a soft persimmon, so how can he be bullied by others?

Gu Huanxi suggested, "Otherwise, how about you pretend to be poisoned by a chronic poison? He will think he has succeeded, so maybe he won't take the next step."

Xu Huaiyi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Unless I fake my own death and escape, he will continue to attack me if I keep dragging my feet. You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. I can't give up everything I have now and hide my identity. I will have to face it sooner or later."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Gu Huanxi could only say, "Then you should be more alert recently."

"Well, don't worry."

In the days that followed, Xu Huaiyi certainly didn't dare to be careless. If he really met with a setback, it would be too unfair. Wouldn't all his cheats have been wasted?

With the cover of the RV and the help of high technology, when the assassin attacked him unexpectedly, Xu Huaiyi dodged it effortlessly.

This happened three times in total.

The first time was at night, when someone sneaked up outside his tent and, as he had expected, drugged him and then assassinated him.

Unfortunately, the other person was in the RV and could not be attacked. If the assassin broke in, it would be like killing a dog in a slam dunk, and he would die in vain.

The second time, the assassination method was changed. The other party disguised himself as the guard assigned to him by Sun Yu, who was one of the few people who could get close to him.

But he has been on high alert recently and has been wary of everyone. The moment the opponent suddenly attacked, Xu Huaiyi immediately took countermeasures. He did not dare to be careless. After testing the opponent's skills, he took out his secret weapon and used an electric baton to knock the man unconscious.

Afterwards, he personally interrogated the man and used severe torture, but the man did not reveal a single word until his death.

The third time, the assassin directly set off the explosives. If he hadn't had the RV to hide in, he would have been doomed. It was the most thrilling time.

This time, his violence was completely aroused.

How much could Emperor Jianxing not tolerate him that he had to fight to the death?

Meng Yao was struck by lightning and burned to ashes. Didn’t that teach him a lesson?

Gu Huanxi was already frightened by the continuous assassinations. She ignored his refusal and said forcefully, "Han Jun has already sent people to pick you up. I'm not sure if they're all his people, so I asked Hu Yingjie to pick some from our farm. There are more than a hundred of them in total. Don't rush to travel recently. Rest here for a few days while you recover from your injuries and leave after you meet up with them."

The first two assassination attempts were fine, but with the most recent throwing of explosives, even though he caught it in time, he was still affected a little and had several cuts on his face, which gave him a reasonable excuse to the outside world.

Otherwise, it would be too weird to be safe and sound under the explosives.

Xu Huaiyi responded honestly, and then said excitedly, "It has spread all over the capital, right?"

Gu Huanxi said unhappily, "Yes, everyone knows about it, and it's spread all over the place. You, Xu Huaiyi, are being hunted down by unknown persons again. Some people are even betting on whether you can break the previous record this time."

Xu Huaiyi laughed dryly twice, "It was twelve times last time, it shouldn't be that crazy, right?"

"You can still laugh?"

"It's like finding joy in adversity. Hehe, don't worry. I guess Emperor Jianxing won't do anything again in the near future. Even if he doesn't respect ghosts and gods, he would be frightened if he encountered such a thing."

"Will he? If he really had respect for you, he shouldn't have attacked you."

"That's different. He watched Meng Yao struggle before, but didn't have a deep understanding. This time he personally took part in the battle, so his feelings are naturally different. The people he sent were not the assassins hired by Meng Yao. He should have used shadow guards.

Who is Shadow Guard? That is his life-saving trump card, and his ability is beyond doubt.

How could he not be terrified if someone like this couldn't kill me?

The emperor is suspicious to begin with, and now he will probably be even more paranoid. Who knows how big his imagination is.

The more this happens, the less he dares to act rashly. He is also afraid of being attacked back."

Gu Huanxi was half-believing and half-doubting, "Are you sure it will be quieter next time?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "It will be stable before returning to Beijing. It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, I won't give him another chance to jump around."

After killing him so many times, he only fights back once. That’s not too much, right?

Even if Gu Xiaoyu guesses it in the future, he has nothing to feel guilty about. It was the royal family who wronged him first, and he was just protecting himself.

Gu Huanxi asked again, "Have you thought it through? Are you sure you don't want to change it?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded without hesitation, "If he doesn't die, our family will be in endless trouble."

"Only the two of us know about this. Ah Li can't tell anyone."

"Yes, I know."

As Xu Huaiyi had expected, there were no more problems on the journey back to Beijing.

After the people sent by Han Jun met up with Xu Huaiyi, they walked to the capital with their nerves tense, but they did not encounter any assassination attempts. It was hard to tell whether they were sober or disappointed.

The people in the capital city also had complicated feelings. They had even opened a betting line and were betting on how many times it would happen. Who would have thought that it would end after only three bets?

Everyone lost a lot!

However, all kinds of gossip about Xu Huaiyi spread more vigorously, and later on, they even turned into something superstitious.

What do you mean he is helped by God all the way and all the evil spirits are helpless against him?

There are also rumors that he has practiced a mysterious skill that allows him to bring the dead back to life, which is why assassins cannot kill him.

There was also speculation that he had the ability to predict the future, which was how he was able to avoid assassination attempts time and time again.

What's even more outrageous is that people suspect that he is not a human being, but a god who has come down to earth to experience hardships. Once the disasters he has suffered are over, he will be able to return to heaven.

Anyway, there are all kinds of things to say. People love to talk about this kind of thing. The more mysterious it is, the more popular it is.

But some people also felt panic and anxiety, especially those who guessed what was going on with those assassinations. If that person was really the one who did it, how could he fail?

Therefore, things cannot be explained by common sense, and they are weird. Not only are they afraid, but they also can't help but have some terrifying thoughts.

But no one dares to say it.

The whole truth and what happens next will be clear when Xu Huaiyi returns to Beijing.

But on the day before Xu Huaiyi returned to Beijing, Gu's family suddenly caught fire at night.

The fire did not break out somewhere else, but in the main courtyard, where Gu Huanxi and his family of three lived.

The fire started in the side room next to the dormitory and soon spread.

The fire was fierce, and it was definitely not caused by accidentally touching the candle. There was also the smell of kerosene in the air, all of which was terrifying.

When I saw the houses collapse and no one was able to get out, I felt like I was falling into an ice cellar.

Gu Huanxi likes quietness, and Xu Huaiyi doesn't like anyone serving him closely, so, normally the maids can come in to clean, but at night, there are only the three of them in the hospital.

Now that Xu Huaiyi is gone, only Gu Huanxi and her daughter are left.

Neither of them escaped.

This is also one of the reasons why the servants wanted to risk their lives to rush in to rescue him, but it was too late.

Because it was too far away, when I ran over, the fire could not be controlled.

As for the second reason for not risking her life to rush in, it was that Gu Huanxi had warned her in advance that Xu Huaiyi had been assassinated one after another, and she had to be on guard against the possibility that Emperor Jianxing would also harm her and her daughter.

Therefore, at night, the mother and daughter lived in the RV. No matter who came to assassinate them or set fire to them, they would not be harmed at all.

She didn't want to implicate innocent people, so she mentioned it to Hu Yingjie and Wei Ci in advance. Both of them were trustworthy and knew that there were secret rooms and secret passages in the main courtyard dormitory. If there was real danger, they could just hide in them.

Hu Yingjie and Wei Ci, who rushed to put out the fire, did not collapse because they knew the inside story. Otherwise, if they failed to protect Gu Huanxi and her daughter, how would they have the face to live when Xu Huaiyi came back?

The fire burned for more than an hour. Fortunately, it was winter and there was heavy snow, so the house did not burn so quickly and did not spread to other courtyards. But when the fire was put out, the yard was in a mess and it was a horrible sight.

You know, Gu Huanxi put the most effort into the decoration of the main courtyard. Everyone who came would praise it. The flowers and plants in the house were lush and colorful, just like spring, and very beautiful. Now, they are all destroyed.

Gu Huanxi hid in the RV with her daughter in her arms, but she could imagine the tragedy outside. The only thing she was thankful for was that her daughter was sleeping soundly and did not have to go through such a heartbreaking experience.

Xu Huaiyi was also there. When he learned that the main courtyard was on fire, he could hardly suppress his anger. If Gu Huanxi hadn't tried to stop him, he would have rushed back to the capital and broke into the palace at night.

"This is really too much!" Xu Huaiyi was really angry this time. He could endure whatever Emperor Jianxing did to him, but he couldn't tolerate it if he touched his wife and daughter. That was his bottom line.

Gu Huanxi was calmer than she thought. "We have already thought about this. There is nothing to be angry about. You will get revenge anyway. It will be easier to take his life now."

Before, I was somewhat hesitant to take action because he was Gu Xiaoyu’s grandfather. But now, I don’t have any hesitation or entanglement at all.

Xu Huaiyi said in a hateful voice, "I will go to the palace tomorrow night. He is not the only one who can set fire. The palace is much bigger than our home. With so many palaces and courtyards, it will be easier to burn it."

"Don't hurt the innocent. It will damage our fortune if we owe you karma."

"I know. I will start with an uninhabited palace and then go find him."
