Chapter 297: Assassin, Reborn
When Du Zhenglun left, his head was still dizzy.
The role of alcohol is one of them, and more is to give up his official position so happily to Xu Qilin. Is it because he is still young, greedy for fun, and afraid of tiredness, so he is so willing to let himself share, or rather, to divide power?
Of course, this also confirmed his suspicions. For his own appointment, Xu Qilin does have a vital role.
Without the permission of the imperial court, there is no reason for one assassin to appoint another, even if it is temporary.
Therefore, Du Zhenglun thinks that Xu Qilin should have His Majesty's decree in his hand, and whether he can take it out or not depends on whether he can satisfy Xu Qilin.
Now that he has obtained the title of temporary assassination, presumably Xu Qilin will go to the imperial court and issue a formal appointment.
And what Xu Qilin said, Du Zhenglun also remembered clearly. Not to mention Xiao Gui Cao Sui, Suzhou's current business strategy, Xu Qilin does not want to have big changes.
Du Zhenglun is not stupid, Suzhou's political achievements this year have been determined, and that is the credit of Xu Qilin. If he can't exceed it next year, how can he explain this assassination history to the imperial court?
Based on His Majesty Li Er's impression of himself now, if he finds the reason, he will probably have to clean it up. Alas, who allowed himself to increase suspicion and estrangement between His Majesty and the Crown Prince!
The Du family is a three-show talent, and he was recruited when His Majesty was still the king of Qin and entered the Qin Wangfu Literature Museum. After that, he successively served as a member of the military department, a waiter in the middle of the matter, a waiter in the middle of the matter, a prince and a left concubine, and was named the Marquis of Nanyang County.
But once he made a mistake, he was not as good as a teenager. People are the saints, and the future is immeasurable!
Sighing heavily, Du Zhenglun glanced back at the inn, shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and left slowly.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Xu Qilin didn't think about it so much, and had a good night's rest. The next day, Du Zhenglun was invited to go to Jiuquan, that is, the Suzhou Governance Office.
Although it was authorized by His Majesty Li Er, the edict was not official, and Xu Qilin was not easy to take it out. took Du Zhenglun with him, went to Jiuquan to recruit officials to explain, and handed over the governance of Suzhou to Du Zhenglun.
The autumn harvest is coming soon, this is a big event, Du Zhenglun is busy, Xu Qilin has unloaded a burden.
didn't stay long in Jiuquan, Xu Qilin rushed back to Ganzhou. Three days later, at dusk, he had already seen the walls of Zhangye.
"It's back!" Fang Er sighed first, I don't know what crazy he smoked.
Xu Qilin glanced at this rough blank with some amusement, and said in his heart: If you add a few words, such as "I, Hu Hansan, am back again", then it will be emotional!
"Ah Lang, the little one will go to the house to report first." It was not only Fang Er who was excited, but the subordinates who had followed Xu Qilin out for several months were all excited.
"Go ahead!" Xu Qilin nodded, smiled and waved his hand.
With permission, he rushed out of the two men at once, and galloped towards the city.
Fang Er smiled and said, "Look at these two guys are in a hurry." To be honest, I miss the two little girls in your house. This time, I have to fight with them for a few days, but I have to win back all the losses I lost before, so that I can make some progress. β
Xu Qilin pouted with a smile, and said in his heart: Why don't you know if you lose, and you still want to win back? Adjani's ghost girl, I don't know what kind of way to come up with, to take care of your girl's loss.
The group entered the city gate and walked along the street towards the mansion. After months of not seeing, the number of pedestrians has increased quite a bit. There are also houses in the city that have been renovated, which is obviously rich, or there are big businessmen and big families who come to operate.
Well, you can get a lot of money by selling land. When Xu Qilin saw such a scene, he couldn't help but feel arrogant. Plugged into Jiangnan, Lao Tzu completed it in two years.
There was still some distance from the door of the mansion, and Xu Qilin saw the big lantern lit up, and two familiar figures on the steps were looking this way.
"It's coming, it's coming! Isn't that Ah Lang? When he got closer, he heard the two girls shouting, and saw them jumping and running over, looking overjoyed and cheering.
Xu Qilin laughed, turned over and dismounted, and greeted him with a bear hug.
"Alang, you're back." Scarlett hugged Xu Qilin tightly, rubbed her face against Ah Lang's chest, and rubbed it again and again, "I miss the slave family." β
Adjani could only go around her back, hugged Xu Qilin, and pushed her head several times, "I miss you too, I think about everything, I ...... everything"
"I can't even think about it!" Xu Qilin made a joke, patted Scarlett's back, and when she let go, he reached out and hugged Adjani over, one on each side, and walked towards the house with a smile.
Fang Er also jumped off the horse and shouted with a smile: "Hey, patronize the left and right, and don't leave one for a certain family." β
Xu Qilin rolled his eyes, didn't even look back, just said to Adjani with a side face: "Play mahjong with you again, and win him all for me." β
Adjani's eyes lit up, and she laughed like a cunning little fox.
When he entered the mansion, he saw Ah Ke also waiting by the side of the road, and when he heard Xu Qilin's voice, he bowed down and saluted, "The slave family has seen Xu Lang." β
Xu Qilin let go of the two girls, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, excuse me." β
Scarlett went over and took Ke's arm and said, "If Ke doesn't accompany her, the slave family and Adjani will suffocate to death." β
Xu Qilin said with a smile: "Then I have to thank Miss Ake." β
"Xu Lang is polite." Ah Ke smiled and said: "The slave family lives in Xu Mansion, and he really wants to thank him for eating and living!" β
"Thank you for the trouble." Fang Er strode from behind, and he didn't know where to press it with a loud voice, "Quickly prepare hot water, prepare wine and rice, after a certain bath, you will drink and eat hard." I've been out for a long time, and I still want to eat here the most. β
Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go inside and talk again." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
It was already late at night, and the courtyard was still brightly lit. The smell of wine and vegetables floated in the air, and Fang Er's loud voice sounded from time to time.
"Brother Jun really killed someone?" Adjani didn't believe it, and turned her attention to Xu Qilin.
Xu Qilin nodded and said, "He didn't brag, he was head-covered and rushed upwards at that time, and he didn't stop him." β
After a pause, he continued: "Luda has also gained military merits, so stay under Wang Fangyi and obey orders. β
"Ruda, that's good." Fang Er's tongue was a little bigger, and he glared and said, "He followed a certain side, and also cut down two Gao Changbing." β
Scarlett showed a strange look and said, "It's so boring to fight and kill." β
Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Brother Jun, in front of the girls, let's talk less about killing people and cutting people." β
Oh, oh, Fang Er blinked a little sluggishly, and muttered, "Yes, you are female babies, you will be scared when you hear this." β
As he spoke, he shook his head and got up, and said, "It's convenient to go." β
As soon as Fang Er left, Xu Qilin smiled and said to the girls: "Just eating and drinking, no music, it's so boring." Wait for a certain song to be entertained. β
"Yes, yes!"
Scarlett and Adjani shouted for joy, and Ake was looking forward to letting Yahuan take the lute and carry the chair to the courtyard. is going to accompany Xu Qilin, and I also think that I can learn new songs again.
Xu Qilin stretched his muscles and bones, as if he wanted to practice. Then he walked up to Ah Ke with a smile and said, "This song is more soothing, according to your intelligence and skills, if you listen to a certain song once, you can almost play it." β
Ah Ke smiled, looked at the direction of the voice with big eyes, and said: "The slave family is very stupid, if you can't learn it, you have to sing Xu Lang a few more times." β
Xu Qilin laughed, cleared his throat, and began to sing.
"The plain embryo outlines the blue and white, and the brush is thick and light; The peony depicted on the bottle is just like your first makeup; Ran Ran Sandalwood through the window, I know what is going on; The pen on the rice paper is half set aside so far......"
Tenderness and a bit of tactful and subtle singing drifted in the courtyard, as if a hazy ink landscape painting was presented in the eyes of everyone, and like a flowing mountain spring stream, meandering around the gurgling sound.
"The sky is blue and so on, and I'm waiting for you; The smoke of the cooking stove rises, thousands of miles across the river......"
Ah Ke's eyes were hazy, her lips were silently open, and she was silently singing along.
"Who?" Across the courtyard wall, a wolf howl from Room 2 broke the melodious singing and the silent listening of everyone in the field.
Xu Qilin was taken aback and hurriedly turned around to look. Ake was also frightened, her big eyes blinked, and she stood up suddenly.
Boom! As the bowstring sounded, a black crossbow arrow flew from the courtyard wall and landed on Ke's left shoulder. If she hadn't suddenly gotten up, the arrow would have pierced Xu Qilin's chest.
"Assassinβ" Fang Er also heard the sound of the bowstring and immediately shouted, "Catch the assassin, catch the assassin." β
Xu Qilin also saw a black shadow on the courtyard wall jumping away, seeing that his body was very thin, but his movements were very agile.
He wanted to chase after him, too, but Ake screamed in pain and fell limpy in front of him. He hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him, calling loudly for his subordinates to help.
There was chaos in the house, and the family members shouted and shouted, holding torches and lanterns to chase and surround them.
Fang Er was the first to discover, and he followed the most, shouting and shouting to provide the scope and direction of the Jiading Nursing Home.
Xu Qilin couldn't control the assassins, and at this time, he and his subordinates had already carried Ah Ke into the house. According to his visual inspection, the part of the crossbow arrow shot was not fatal, and it should not be life-threatening.
But Ke's reaction surprised him, and he didn't scream or make a sound, as if he had fainted. Moreover, a black gas appeared on his face.
Some first-aid items are still prepared at home, and Xu Qilin is also half a Mongolian doctor. Cutting open Ah Ke's clothes and exposing the wound, Xu Qilin couldn't help but gasp.
The wound was black and purple, and it was obviously a poisoned arrow. This situation immediately made Xu Qilin helpless.
"Ke is running out of breath." Although Adjani's words were not listened to, she was full of tears, but she didn't know what to say in her anxiety.
Xu Qilin gritted his teeth and pulled out the crossbow arrow with all his might. Because of the poison, the assassin thought that he would die if he was hit, and he didn't bother to use any barbs.
Squeezing the wound hard, Xu Qilin wanted to squeeze out the toxin. But seeing that the effect was not good, my heart was horizontal, and I stretched out my mouth and sucked it hard.
Burst! A mouthful of dirty blood spit on the ground, Xu Qilin took the disinfected wine in the first aid kit, rinsed his mouth, and continued to take drugs.
"It's useless!" The curling voice sounded in his ears, making Xu Qilin stop his movements suddenly.
"If you really want to save her, let everyone else out, and I'll teach you how to do it."
"Don't, Saya."
Xu Qilin slowly blinked his eyes, looked at Ah Ke, who was almost out of breath, got up suddenly, and said loudly: "You go out first, I will treat Ah Ke's injuries." β
"Ah Lang, the slave family will give you a hand."
"Ah Lang, I'll stay too."
Xu Qilin smiled strongly, stretched out his hand and gently pushed, "Go out, be obedient, I will cure Ah Ke." β
drove the next person and the two girls who turned back three times out of the door, Xu Qilin closed the door and latched, turned around and walked back.
The candlelight flickered lightly twice, and Xiao Ye and Daya appeared. Daya still stared at Xiao Ye and scolded, "Have you thought about it, you waited so long to be reborn into this blind girl?" Or a singer? β
"But I like to listen to Ake play the piano and sing!" Xiao Ye blinked her big eyes and said to Sister A with a smile: "Besides, if I attach it to her, she will be able to see it." I couldn't see anything, it was all black, and it was pitiful! β
"You-" Daya stomped his foot in anger.
"Hey, hey!" Xu Qilin probed Ah Ke's snort with his hand, and said anxiously: "Don't make noise yet, tell me how to save her?" β
Xiao Ye walked over unhurriedly with her little feet and said, "You don't have to worry, listen to me tell you slowly, and then you can make a decision." β
Don't you worry, this person is almost out of breath?
"Don't worry, you have to wait for her to die before you can save her." Xiao Ye patted Xu Qilin's leg like a little adult, she could only land here.
Xu Qilin frowned, in fact, he had just listened to the conversation between his sisters and guessed something.
Reborn, possessed? Is the body that came to life Xiao Ye or Ake?
Sure enough, in Xiaoye's narration, Xu Qilin understood everything. In fact, this is also the reason why Daya and Xiaoya have been following him all the time, and are willing to nourish them in the soul detention order.
In order to possess oneself, the soul needs to have a lot of power, and it needs to be strong enough to re-drive the body. Moreover, ghosts are incomplete, and they still need to be awakened to be basically complete.
In other words, after Xiaoye possessed her, the main soul was hers, and the soul of Jue was the original owner's, that is, Ake's.
Such an operation must be cooperated by Xu Qilin, who uses the soul detention order to recall the original owner's awakened soul, and then add the main soul to send it into the original owner's body.
But Xu Qilin found one of the loopholes, and couldn't help but say: "Ah Ke is considered to be a horizontal death, and her main soul should be wandering, not taken away by the underworld." Shall I detain both the main soul and the awakened soul and send them back? β
"Guess that's what you're thinking." Daya walked over with an unhappy face, leaned back in the chair, and said, "Do you think that Xiaoye is in a hurry to occupy people's bodies and refuse to resurrect the original owner?" β
Xu Qilin blinked his eyes and asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" β
Xiao Ye stuck out his tongue and said, "After a person dies, the soul leaves the body, and if you want to go back, you need more strength than before, that." If it weren't for your soul detention order, Sister A and I wouldn't be able to possess us until now. β
I kind of understand, and this truth also makes sense. Do you think, if the soul can possess the body at will, the souls of those dead people will be resurrected again?
"She's dead!" Daya raised her hand and pointed and said lightly.
