Shi Yi woke up and said that he had something important to do. But seeing that his state is not very stable, the doctor said that he woke up early this time because of his will, and he was afraid that he would not be able to support it for long. Shi Rong leaned over, with a deep worry in his words, and he understood that the longer the delay, the more dangerous Shi Yi would be.

Yu Zijin hurriedly got up and walked towards the two, "What's going on?" Seeing that Shi Yi's expression was a little abnormal, Yu Zijin couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Let's go." Knowing that the situation was urgent, Lin Xiao was concise and to the point, stretched out his hand to hold Yu Zijin's waist, and swept towards the side courtyard with light skills, and Shi Rong immediately stepped up to follow when he saw this.

When the three of them walked into the bedroom in the side courtyard, they saw Shi Yi, who was pale, gently leaning on the bed screen, his eyes slightly open and closed, and his dark eyes seemed to be dull and dull.

Seeing Lin Xiao coming, Shi Yi wanted to raise his hand and salute, but his weak voice was slightly hoarse, "Master." ”

"No need to be polite." Lin Xiao stepped forward quickly and stretched out his hand to support Shi Yi.

"That day, a man in black broke into the city lord's mansion at night, intending to take away the Gu pot, but he happened to be bumped into by the deputy city lord Li Yan who was patrolling, and the two fought, and finally the man in black was injured and fled."

Wounded? "Can you see the wound?" Lin Xiao remembered that Ying Yan had said that the man in black who hurt Yu Zijin seemed to have an injured right arm, and there were undried blood stains on the hilt of the sword.

"That man was invincible, and his wounds, large and small, added up to countless amounts. But if I have to explain, the most serious ...... It was the wound on his right arm that was directly stabbed by the sword, and I am afraid that it will not be able to heal for a while. After speaking, Shi Yi couldn't help coughing, as if he couldn't bear the pain in his body, and cold sweat went straight down.

Seeing that Lin Xiao was deep in thought, Shi Yi paused and continued: "After that, I followed that man all the time, only to see him quietly go out of the city, run to a courtyard on the outskirts of the western suburbs of the city, and leave again not long after. I wanted to continue following, but I didn't expect to see the little servant I met in the City Lord's Mansion come out of the house.

The guards around him were very respectful to him, and it seemed that he had a lot of origin, so I changed my mind and stayed in the small courtyard to observe secretly. Soon I noticed that there was a lot of people in the courtyard every day, coming in and out, and it looked like a special Deadpool.

Then he was accidentally discovered by the guards on patrol, and he has been chased and killed by him until now, and he was able to come back for many days. ”

"How was it discovered?" Shi Yi has received special training since he was a child, and the concealment of his aura is a basic skill, unless there is a person nearby who is stronger in martial arts than Shi Yi. The man in black has been followed, and Shi Yi's whereabouts have not been discovered, Shi Yi can sneak into the courtyard, and his martial arts must be higher than those guards, so the only possibility is that Chang Yi, whose identity is mysterious.

"Strange to say, I was hiding behind a tree, but for some reason I suddenly felt dizzy, and unfortunately caused a noise that alarmed the surrounding guards."

Lin Xiao frowned slightly when she heard this, and her head was dizzy? I always feel that things are not so simple, "You take care of your injuries first, and the rest will be handed over by Shi Rong." After speaking, he grabbed the wrist of Yu Zijin, who was stunned and didn't understand, and turned to leave.

"What the hell is going on?" Yu Zijin felt that during the period of recuperation, he seemed to be derailed from the world, and he didn't know what happened outside the wall.

"Chen Ping and Chang Yi are Nanyue's eyeliner in Yancheng, Li Yan was arrested and imprisoned, and the housekeeper disappeared." Lin Xiao frowned tightly and replied simply.

That day, Chen Ping visited the Lin Mansion at night, and the deal he negotiated with himself was to go to Guming Temple the next day to deliver the news for him, saying that he was going to join the rest of the city lord's party.

From this point of view, the person who assassinated Yu Zijin is likely to be Chen Ping himself. So, is his real target Yu Zijin or the only remaining butler of the City Lord faction, or both. There is also the butler who is still unknown, where is he located, dead or alive?

"Who is Chang Yi, and why did Li Yan suddenly go to prison?" Except for knowing that the housekeeper should have disappeared on the day he went to Guming Temple, he was chased and killed by the Nanyue people, but he didn't know what happened in the City Lord's Mansion just now.

"Do you still remember the little guy with abnormal behavior I met in the city lord's courtyard that day, he is Chang Yi, he has a city government in his heart, and his martial arts are unfathomable, as for why Li Yan was imprisoned, it has nothing to do with him." Lin Xiao said coldly.

Yu Zijin frowned slightly, "In this way, it is very likely that Chen Ping borrowed our hand to lure the housekeeper out and catch them all." But what happened to the man in black who suddenly appeared, is it related to the people who came to Yancheng Road before! ”

"Sort of." At that time, among the black-clothed people who were fighting by the stream, there were indeed Nanyue people, Lin Xiao said secretly in his heart.

"Now that the city lord is dead, Li Yan has been arrested, and the housekeeper is missing, is the entire Yancheng really going to become the world of Nanyue people?" Yu Zijin looked worried, Nanyue people were so grandiose, but Dongqi could only be passive.

"It's not the city lord in the coffin!" Just as the two of them were deep in thought, a slightly weak female voice floated from outside the door, interrupting their thoughts.

I saw Bai Lishan's face was slightly pale, and he walked quickly, came to the two of them, and explained: "The deceased who was in the 'half moon' in his body, his body smelled of fish and grass, and he was buried in the ground after death, and his grave was purple all over the ground. When I went to the City Lord's Mansion that day, I felt that something was wrong, the sacrificial hall was too clean, and only the smell of burning paper remained.

But I remember that the housekeeper said that the city lord was poisoned when he was swimming in the lake, and then found the Gu pot in the listening room not far from the city lord's courtyard. Maybe others don't know, but as a member of the Nanyue royal family, I know very well that before casting the 'Half Moon', the host needs to be in close contact with the Gu Pot for a period of time, and the 'Half Moon' can only be possessed.

You must know that the seat of the listening room is located between the courtyard of the city lord and the deputy city lord. But the 'City Lord' who really entered the coffin and entered the ground did not show signs of being hit by the Gu, but was the 'Half Moon' in the housekeeper who had a deep relationship with the City Lord himself, and it happened to be the same as the Gu in the Deputy City Lord Li Yan. In that case, there is only one possibility......"

Lin Xiao lowered his eyes and pondered, and suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, "Go to the City Lord's Mansion." ”

No wonder when he surveyed the scene before, Lin Xiao felt that the swordsmanship was strange, and it seemed to be deliberate.

The lord of the city had never had a precedent for having people wait with him, but in those days he let the butler come and go as he pleased. In the final analysis, he wanted to create a false impression and use the butler's confession as evidence to make everyone think that it was indeed the city lord himself who was killed.

In fact, it was just to take the housekeeper's order, and then fake the chaos of the fight in the room, and finally disguised himself as a housekeeper, deceived everyone's eyes, and the golden cicada came out of his shell.

"What are you doing in the City Lord's Mansion?" Yu Zijin asked. At this time, most of the City Lord's Mansion was already under the control of Nanyue people, and it was very likely to be discovered at this time.

"Go and meet this Yancheng City Lord, Li Shen." Lin Xiao's face was clear, if Chang Yiruo was really a person sent by Nanyue, he was just in the City Lord's Mansion, so why was he in such a hurry to reveal his ambitions to himself, it was not so much that he was bound to win, but that he was hinting at himself.

Because Bai Lishan had just finished casting the Gu search, and because she went to the city lord's tomb alone, running back and forth, her face was not good, so Lin Xiao asked her to stay in the Lin Mansion and arrange for her subordinates to take good care of her.

And Yu Zijin's injuries have not healed, so naturally he can't go with him. Looking at Yu Zijin, who had been a little thin in recent days, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart. If it weren't for herself to enter the game, the little girl might not be implicated. Now staying in the mansion is protected by secret guards, which is relatively safe, and besides, Ying Yan is also in the Lin Mansion...... Lin Xiao can leave with confidence.

A quarter of an hour later, the main courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

The courtyard where Li Shen, the former city lord of the City Lord's Mansion, lived, was blocked by the criss-crossing white seals. Lin Xiao climbed over the wall and entered, because the small courtyard was sealed, as long as he could come in, he didn't have to worry about the guards patrolling back and forth like outside, but instead formed a natural protective barrier.

Suddenly, as if a strong wind was blowing, the door of the master bedroom quietly opened, Lin Xiao was relieved, and walked straight without thinking about it.

"Second son Lin, I've been waiting for a long time." As soon as he walked into the house, another gust of wind slowly closed the door, and then a vigorous and powerful voice came from the screen, and a dark figure walked out and appeared in front of the three of them.

"Lin Xiao doesn't know, should I call you the housekeeper or the city lord now?" Lin Xiao seemed to be smiling, although he respected Li Shen and said "you", but he had no intention of restraint at all in terms of momentum, and sat leisurely on the guest seat on the side.

Li Shen was not annoyed when he saw this, and stood aside, "It's just a false name, Second Prince Lin can come here to find me today, I must know that I have no choice but to do this." ”

"Changyi, is it your person?" Although Lin Xiao threw away doubts, her tone was full of affirmation.

"Indeed." Li Shen had a frank face, as if he didn't mind his hole cards at all, and he appeared directly in front of Lin Xiao.

"A good trick to lure the snake out of the hole. With the help of Chang Yi, let all the Nanyue people in the shadows relax their vigilance, and when they come out, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop. Lin Xiao stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup and shook it slowly, the tea was shaking, forming a small whirlpool, "The city lord has his own power in Yan City, why bother to lead me here step by step"

Lin Xiao said with a hint of coldness, Li Shen wanted to lead himself into the game, but he implicated Yu Zijin in injury, and the matter could not be stopped.

As if expecting Lin Xiao to say this, Li Shen replied calmly: "The people of Nanyue have been laid out for many years, and Yancheng seems to be peaceful, but in fact, it has already been turbulent. And the people in the city are only drunk with comfort every year, and the power of the city lord's mansion is also secretly weakened.

Because of the matter of the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Machine, the people of Nanyue are ready to move, and they are in trouble, and this is the best time to wipe them out, but I am sure that their conspiracy will appear before everyone, but I have no ability to restrain their bright and dark lines......

If there is any offense here, I hope that the second son of Lin will forgive me. ”

"Oh? Lin Xiao is just an ordinary man, how can He De be favored by the city lord. Lin Xiao didn't seem to care, and continued to fiddle with the teacup in his hand.

"Just rely on the jade pendant in Lotus City." Li Shen's tone was firm, and he was very sure that Lin Xiao would help.

On the other hand, Lin Xiao, the movements in his hands paused slightly, his expression remained unchanged, and he hooked his lips and smiled, "When will you do it?" ”

"Li Yan asked the day of beheading."
