An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

The murderous words frightened the painter. His eyes flickered, and he really couldn't figure out who the so-called "old immortal" was.

He had to ask tentatively: "Master, I don't know the name of the old immortal you are talking about... and where is he?"

"Didn't you say that you are from the Thousands of Strange Villas?" Liu Huanxiao asked.

"Yes, I am indeed committed to the Thousands of Strange Villas."

"That's right." Liu Huanxiao nodded with satisfaction.

He put his hands behind his back, squinted at the painter and said softly: "The old immortal is your owner."

"Ah?" The painter screamed. It sounds like the person in front of him must know the owner of the villa, and there is a high probability that they have some grudges.

Recalling that someone in the villa mentioned that the owner of the villa acted extremely strangely and was moody. As a person in the villa, I am afraid that I will anger the owner if I help the enemy of the owner to convey a message!

But Liu Huanxiao was so aggressive, if he changed his mind, his life would be in danger!

If you stick your head out, you will get a knife, if you shrink your head, you will get a knife too. The painter looked bitter, and he dared not nod.

"What? Don't you want to?" Liu Huanxiao raised his hand and pressed it on his face. The white frost, which had been silent for a long time, was ready to move, and it climbed up inch by inch along the neck.

The painter woke up instantly, his eyes widened, and he nodded hurriedly. Whether it would anger the owner of the manor would be discussed later, but now it was a matter of life and death, and he had to agree.

Seeing him nod, Liu Huanxiao couldn't help laughing, and raised his palm gently, and the white frost in the deserted temple disappeared completely in an instant.

As the white frost disappeared, the few people standing still fell to the ground, and after a few "plops", no one stood up again.

"It's good if you are willing." Liu Huanxiao glanced at the painter with his hands behind his back, and his tone was a little boastful.

He waved his hand and said, "Go, I said I won't kill you, and I won't kill you. But you have to tell me, otherwise I'll kill you sooner or later."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you."

After surviving the disaster, the painter heaved a sigh of relief, and the look of relief on his face lasted for a long time, until he caught a glimpse of the corpse in front of him, and then he came to his senses. In order to save himself a chance to survive, he hurried to Liu Huanxiao's side.

He humbly asked, "Master, please leave a name, otherwise no one will believe that a small first-rank official like me can help the Grand Master to tell you."

"That's right." Liu Huanxiao agreed with him.

He whispered, "The three words Jinyiwei are enough."

Jinyiwei? Although the painter didn't know whether it was true or false, he nodded and replied respectfully, "Remember it, thank you for your guidance."

"Let's go." Liu Huanxiao waved his hand and sent him away.

"Yes, yes, I'll leave now." The painter smiled happily. Not daring to stay for a moment, he walked slowly towards the door while laughing.

He opened the door, not caring about the heavy rain outside, and ran away as if escaping for his life, not even daring to look back.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, the two people in the deserted temple smiled at each other.

When the smile faded, Wangshu was replaced by sadness. After thinking for a few breaths, he still spoke with difficulty, "Second Uncle..."

"What? Did you encounter difficulties?" Liu Huanxiao asked curiously.

"Yes." She shrugged and said frankly.

Liu Huanxiao turned sideways and asked: "What difficulties? Has your identity been leaked?"

"Not yet, but I can feel that they are already on guard against me. Especially recently, my every move has been monitored." Wangshu frowned and explained.

Is that so? Liu Huanxiao folded his arms, constantly thinking about how to deal with it.

After a moment, he sighed helplessly, "Don't stay in Jiangnan, go to the capital. The situation in Jiangnan is so chaotic, and it's too risky for you to stay. It's better to go to the capital to hide for a while, so as to hide from others."

"Wait a minute?"

"That's what I mean." He said frankly.

Without waiting for Wangshu to answer, Liu Huanxiao continued to explain: "There is indeed something that I need you to do."

Wangshu raised his eyes and looked at him, a little puzzled. And Liu Huanxiao quickly said, "Go to the capital to help me deliver a letter."

"To whom?"

"Jinyiwei Commander, Xu San."

How could it be Jinyiwei? Wangshu didn't know whether to agree or refuse for a moment.

According to her heart, she didn't want to get involved with Jinyiwei. After all, Zhao Jue's previous insistence left her with a psychological shadow so great that she had some resistance to all Jinyiwei.

But the person who asked was her second uncle, and it was just a simple little thing, which was not justifiable in terms of emotion and reason.

At this moment, she was a little entangled.

As if seeing Wangshu's reluctance, Liu Huanxiao hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, it's not a deep tiger's den, at most it's just a message."

Oh? So simple? Wangshu couldn't believe it, "Just one sentence? Can you make it clear?"

"One sentence is enough." Liu Huanxiao nodded.

"What words?"

Liu Huanxiao said: "I have nothing in Jiangnan, so I'll give you a willow branch."

"Okay." Wangshu agreed immediately. One sentence, just ten short words, it would be a bit unkind to refuse again.

She then asked: "Where is Xu San in the capital?"

"Zhaoyu."

Hiss. Wangshu couldn't help but take a breath, it was Zhaoyu again!

When she mentioned that place, the first picture in her mind was not the gloomy torture chamber, the oppressive atmosphere, or the Jinyiwei with murderous faces inside, but a face with a sinister smile.

And the sentence "Let me go back to Zhaoyu and tell it."

"Alas", she exhaled a foul breath. He shook his head to get rid of the face that appeared in his mind, as well as the scene of springtime that night.

He lowered his brows and agreed: "I will leave now, what about you? Will you stay in Jiangnan?"

"Hmm." Liu Huanxiao was thinking about things in his mind, and was a little perfunctory.

"Be careful in everything."

"You too. Don't be stubborn when encountering things, save your life first." Liu Huanxiao reminded.

"I understand." Wangshu nodded.

Then he aroused his true energy, tiptoed out of the ruined temple, and rushed north in the rain. Liu Huanxiao turned around and watched her until her figure disappeared, then he looked back fiercely at the corpse on the ground for a few times, and walked out of the deserted temple.

After the two left, no one in the deserted temple added firewood, and the swaying fire slowly became smaller and extinguished.

The heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River was still falling, but it was only in a small area in the south of the Yangtze River. The bright moon in the capital thousands of miles away was hanging high, and not even a small piece of dark cloud could be seen.

The night was pleasant.

At the back door of a mansion near the palace, a carriage slowly stopped, and a middle-aged man in a black cloak got out of the carriage and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened a crack, and the butler poked his head out, looking around with a gloomy face. Seeing the face of the visitor clearly, he immediately put on a smile.

"Sir, are you back? Come in quickly, the prince is waiting impatiently."

The middle-aged man bowed and apologized with a smile: "I wasted some time and made the prince wait for a long time. I am guilty, guilty."

The housekeeper waved his hands repeatedly, "Oh, sir, you are too polite. How can the prince be petty? Besides, the journey is so long, it is not easy for you to rush back today, let's talk inside."

"Okay."
