Don’t Show the Son

Hearing this voice, Lin Xiucai put down his vigilance and said, "It's Miss Ake. I was hungry just now, so I went out to eat something."

Chen Ke didn't ask any more questions. Lin Xiu lit the lamp, but when she looked at her, her expression changed slightly, and she asked, "Are you injured?"

Using the light, Lin Xiu noticed that her face was very pale, and one arm was also bleeding.

Chen Ke said: "I went to assassinate Huang Tao, but failed."

Lin Xiu asked in amazement: "Is there no way to assassinate him with the ability to hide?"

Chen Ke glanced at him and said: "Concealment doesn't mean disappearing completely. No matter how lightly you move, there will be footsteps. When you move, there will be a weak wind. Ordinary people can't detect these, but they can't escape. The perception of the strong."

After Lin Xiu understood this, she said, "I'll find the medicine for you."

Although Lin Xiu could heal her injuries after touching her for a while, but after all, she only met her twice, and there are some secrets that cannot be easily revealed.

Moreover, the injury she suffered was only superficial, and ordinary wound medicine would be enough.

Lin Xiu took out the wound medicine and found a clean white cloth. Chen Ke tore off the sleeve of his left arm, exposing the injured arm.

"hiss……"

When Lin Xiu looked at her arm, she subconsciously gasped.

What kind of arms are these? On the white and tender skin, there are more than a dozen large and small scars, some are old wounds, some are new wounds, and the scars have not fallen off. The latest one is the wound from tonight, which is still oozing out. Blood……

That's not an arm a woman would have at all.

Chen Ke saw Lin Xiu's shock, and said blankly, "It's normal for people in our line of work."

Lin Xiu calmed down, took out a porcelain bottle, and said, "It may hurt a little, bear with it."

This bottle contained high-quality wound medicine, which was a gift from the imperial concubine. He said that Lin Xiu was always injured, and if Miss Shuang Shuang was not around someday, she would need it.

He sprinkled the powder on the wound on A Ke's arm, her expression didn't change, but she clenched her other hand tightly.

Lin Xiu helped her wrap the gauze again, and then said, "You know that person is protected by a strong person, why do you still go?"

Chen Ke said flatly: "If he lives an extra day, one more innocent woman may be victimized. It's better to kill him earlier."

She was even more jealous than Lin Xiu imagined.

Lin Xiudao: "You are injured, don't leave tonight, just sleep here for the night, you sleep on the bed, I sleep on the floor."

Chen Ke didn't refuse, but just looked at Lin Xiu with an inexplicable look, and said, "Your family is also rich and powerful, but you are different from those rich and powerful children."

Lin Xiudao: "My family has been in decline for a long time, and I used to be similar to ordinary people."

Chen Ke continued: "After you killed that man, I have been following you. I saw you asking the officials to help the old man, and I saw you standing up to protect the girl. In the Cleaning Department, you can stick to your heart, It's not easy to not be fooled by beauty..."

Lin Xiu was a little embarrassed by her praise, so she had to say: "But do a good job, don't ask about the future, thank you for the compliment..."

Judging from her performance, it seemed that she was just following Lin Xiu outside during the day and didn't know about him going out to practice secretly at night, which made Lin Xiu feel relieved.

Chen Ke looked at him and said, "If all the villains think like you, then there is no need for the Tiandao League to exist..."

The injured female assassin was taken in for a night in the room, and when Lin Xiu got up the next day, she was gone.

The quilt at the head of the bed was neatly folded, and there was still a wisp of fragrance on it.

She really behaves like a heroine. Although Lin Xiu can't join the Heavenly Dao League and kill villains all over the world with her, he will always be her safe haven here.

When Lin Xiu went out today, she discovered something.

A Ke's wanted portrait has been posted all over the streets and alleys of the capital.

The assassination of the second son of Duke Huang's family last night completely enraged the imperial court. Early in the morning, arrest warrants were posted all over the city, vowing to arrest her and bring her to justice.

In this way, she must remain hidden at all times, and once she shows up, she will definitely be discovered.

However, based on Lin Xiu's understanding of this ability, it would take a lot of energy to enter the invisible state. It is impossible for her to be invisible all the time. In this way, it will be very difficult for her to be active in the capital.

Those people in the top dignitaries' houses are really not so easy to move.

Lin Xiu had never seen that the court wanted an assassin so aggressively.

This made him a little worried, she must not be caught.

The Officials Clearance Department will definitely get the news of this kind of arrest in the whole city. Lin Xiu did not go to the Academy of Different Arts, but first came to the Officials Clearance Department to inquire about the situation.

Early in the morning, it seemed that the Department of Cleaning Officials had received a murder case.

A corpse covered by a white cloth was placed in the courtyard of the Qing Dynasty Officials Department.

It is said that the son of a certain second-class uncle's mansion beat and killed a commoner in the street, but that second-class uncle used his connections to let the Qing officials release his son.

Lin Xiu thought it was a real murder, until he saw the corpse under the white cloth moving.

He looked at Liu Qingfeng beside him, and asked, "What's going on?"

Liu Qingfeng said: "In order to catch the female assassin, the imperial court deliberately put on a show. They released news throughout the city just to let the female assassin hear that the imperial court had already laid a net in the second-class uncle's mansion. Once she night If you assassinate the young master of the second-class uncle's mansion, I'm afraid it will be impossible to escape."

Lin Xiu's complexion changed slightly: "Who came up with such a sinister idea?"

Seeing many eyes looking at him, Lin Xiucai said: "This idea...is simply too good. Now, that female assassin should not be able to escape. Not only did she kill Zheng Jian, but she almost put the blame on me... "

Lin Xiu was a little anxious when she walked out of the Cleaning Department.

In order to catch Miss A Ke, the imperial court actually went fishing to enforce the law.

She didn't know the inside story of this, if she acted rashly, she might never return...

And he had no way to remind her.

...

Night, Chengyang Bo Mansion.

Uncle Chengyang's title is not high, he can only be regarded as a low-ranking dignitary. In the past year and a half, no one mentioned it. Today, Uncle Chengyang's name has been mentioned more than once in the mouths of the common people.

The mere son of a second-class uncle who beat and killed ordinary people in the street was able to escape the punishment of the law, which is enough to show how great the privileges of these dignitaries are.

Every year, I don't know how many innocent women are ruined by them, and I don't know how many common people die in vain. Just because of their powerful status, they can get away with it and do whatever they want.

The rich and powerful oppressed the people, and the government covered up and covered up.

The common people offend the dignitaries, and they will be injured in the slightest, and in the severest, they will die. Although this has been the case since ancient times, who doesn't yearn for fairness in their hearts?

There is nothing the common people can do about this, they can only spit secretly when passing by the gate of Chengyang Bo's mansion before leaving.

It was late at night, and there were not many people on this street.

There was only one beggar, leaning against the wall opposite Chengyang Bo's Mansion, with a bowl in front of him, in which was half a frozen hard steamed bun.

This year's winter is surprisingly cold. It is difficult for this kind of homeless beggar to hear the New Year's bell.

It is not uncommon for several beggars to freeze to death in the capital every winter.

After the watchman knocked on the clapper on the fourth watch, the entire capital began to quiet down.

At this time, when people are sleeping soundly, except for thieves, generally no one will appear on the street.

The beggar didn't know whether he was asleep or frozen to death. He leaned against the wall and hadn't moved for a long time.

At this moment, everything was silent, and suddenly there was a soft sound in the Chengyang uncle's mansion.

It seemed to be the sound of footsteps landing.

But in the huge courtyard, there was not even a single figure.

A moment later, the door of a wing room in the mansion slowly opened, and then closed silently.

The room was quiet for a moment, but in the next moment, there was a sudden shout of anger.

"You really came!"

boom!

The door of the room exploded open, and sawdust flew, at the same time, from various rooms in Chengyangbo's mansion, more than a dozen figures suddenly burst out, several torches were lit, and the flames illuminated the courtyard like daytime.

Several people held torches and stood at the four corners of the courtyard, while the rest of the people used wooden basins to sprinkle flour into the courtyard. Soon, the courtyard was covered with a layer of snow white.

Several footprints immediately appeared on the ground.

A middle-aged man held a knife with one hand and swung the knife in the air. There was a muffled groan in the air, and blood was sprinkled on the snow-white ground.

With true energy released, this middle-aged man turned out to be an earth-level warrior.

"It's up to you where to escape this time!"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and approached with a knife. Although there was no one in the courtyard, the footprints on the ground were very clear. He waved the long knife in his hand, and swung out sharp knife aura. From time to time, bloody spots bloomed on the ground. flowers.

In the end, a blood-stained footprint disappeared under the courtyard wall.

The middle-aged man looked in the direction of the courtyard wall and said coldly, "You can't run away."

He jumped up, directly crossed the Zhang Xu high courtyard wall, and came to the street outside.

On the street, a woman in black showed her figure. She was bleeding from many wounds on her body, and she was walking staggeringly on the street at the moment.

The middle-aged man followed behind her unhurriedly, mockingly said: "Hide, why don't you hide?"

As soon as his words fell, the woman in black fell to the side of a wall. She was seriously injured and her vitality was exhausted. She no longer had the strength to stand up.

Where she fell, there was another figure, which seemed to be a beggar who had been frozen to death. The distance between the two was less than three feet.

The middle-aged man looked at the woman in black with eagerness in his eyes.

One hundred thousand taels of silver was an unimaginably huge sum even for him.

This amount of money is enough for him to buy a three-entry mansion in the center of Dongcheng, where land is very expensive, which is his dream mansion.

Now, the opportunity to realize your dream is right in front of you.

He stepped forward, intending to capture the female assassin who had been wanted by the imperial court for a long time.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The female assassin was not far away, like an old beggar who had frozen to death, suddenly violently, a bone rolled to the female assassin's side, picked her up, and flew directly into the sky.

The middle-aged man's eyes widened suddenly: "There are accomplices!"
