Chapter 26: Finding a Needle in a Haystack

In the room, Situ Jing kissed Shui Ling'er for a while, his body was aroused, and he wanted to explore further, but he was pulled back to reality by reason, at least after getting married, he could only be a husband and wife.

After the kiss, Shui Ling'er's body also became hot, and she stared at Situ Jing with red cheeks, looking forward to what would happen next.

Situ Jing stroked her cheek and said, "Let's go eat."

Shui Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and the fleeting disappointment made her lower her head.

Her reaction was all seen by Situ Jing, he hooked the corners of his mouth, raised her chin, and said, "Or do you want me to continue?"

Shui Ling'er said shyly, "Where, where is it." She turned around to walk out of the room, but was hugged by Situ Jing from behind.

Situ Jing said: "On the day of the wedding, I will hug you well." He cherishes her, so he respects her even more.

"Hmm." Shui Ling'er nodded.

Situ Jing chuckled, led Shui Ling'er out of the room, and walked out of the tavern.

After Dongfang Yu saw them leave the tavern, he walked back to his room, sat down at the table, and poured a cup of tea.

He glanced at the person who had been standing aside, and said lightly, "You said you are Princess Jing's childhood sweetheart, Xiaohu?"

"Yes."

"Why did you find me? I am a well-known cynical prince in the Chu State, and I don't even have any power, and I was ordered by my father to come to the Liang State as a proton." With such a he, he couldn't think of what he could get from him.

Xiaohu said firmly, "I want the position of a general." He wanted Shui Ling'er to like him, and the man she wanted was a general, so he would fulfill her requirements.

"Oh, it's not that hard." Although he did not have any real power, it was easy to install a low-ranking general at will with his connections, and he said, "What good do I have?"

"I can help you get the Situ Jing you want." He knew that Dongfang Yu was not interested in the real Situ Jing, but Shui Ling'er, who was using Situ Jing's body, but he was selfish, and he wouldn't tell him the truth.

"It's really good for me." Dongfang Yu thought about it, but the current Situ Jing was not what he was interested in, but Princess Jing, who had always been annoying to him, and his behavior today was very much like the Situ Jing who made him feel excited.

There was a strange story in the Chu State, men and women exchanged bodies, and concealed all the relatives and friends around them, but the greatly changed personality aroused suspicion, and later changed back to the body to tell the truth, could it be that King Jing and Princess Jing were the same? So it was Princess Jing who made him excited, not Situ Jing.

If this is the case, he is very happy, King Jing and Princess Jing are still unmarried, and according to King Jing's character of abiding by etiquette, he will definitely wait until the big wedding to be married to the princess, so that he has the opportunity to snatch love, he said: "You are Princess Jing's childhood sweetheart, what about her maiden name?"

Xiaohu said without thinking, "Big mud."

Dongfang Yu muttered to himself, "Big mud." It didn't match Princess Jing's beautiful appearance, he remembered that Situ Jing once called his princess Shui Ling'er, presumably this was her maiden name, and she was like her name.

Not long after Situ Jing and Shui Ling'er went out, Shui Wuxian went to the box on the second floor of the nearby teahouse to make an appointment.

There was only one man in his fifties, dressed in a gray blouse of brocade, which was only available to the royal family.

Although Shui Wuxian only had a one-sided relationship with him, he remembered him, he was one of the Yanhou of the Shida family and the husband of the lord of Mingsheng.

Lord Mingsheng is the royal sister of today's saint and the younger sister of King Wen.

And he spent a lot of money to ask him to kill Shui Ling'er's client.

Yan Hou saw that Shui Wuxian was here, and smiled kindly, "Come and sit here, the leader of the Black Plum Gang." He made a pot of tea and poured it into the cup.

Shui Wuxian sat next to Yan Hou and said with a chuckle, "I don't know that Yan Hou is here, and I am not welcome."

"Oh, it's okay, I'm here to do something secretly this time."

Shui Wuxian tensed for a moment, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said, "What can't you let the people below do, you have to come in person?"

Yan Hou sighed and said, "Helper, the Black Plum Gang has always taken money to do things, and they don't drag their feet, why have I paid the deposit for so long, and there has been no result?"

Shui Wuxian took out the silver ticket prepared in advance from his arms and put it on the table, and said with a chuckle: "Yanhou, this person has a close relationship with my Black Plum Gang, I can't kill him."

"It's just a country girl, how can it have anything to do with the Black Plum Gang?"

"It's a long story, isn't it the same with me? It's just a wild girl in the countryside, why spend a lot of money to kill her, and waste Yanhou's silver taels?" Shui Wuxian skillfully pushed the question back to him, what kind of hatred did he have with Shui Ling'er, one was far away in the imperial capital, and the other was far away on the hill on the frontier, and the eight poles had nothing to do with each other.

Yan Hou was stunned and said, "This is a family ugly, it's really hard to say to outsiders, since the Heimei Gang refuses to help the old man take this order, the old man has to find someone else to help, but the business is not benevolent, you and I are friends since we know each other."

Shui Wuxian said solemnly: "The relationship between this person and me is not trivial, and I can't be killed." It was his own sister.

Yan Hou stared at Shui Wuxian and wanted to get a clue from him, then he chuckled a few times and said, "It's too late."

Shui Wuxian turned around, quickly went to the window, jumped out of the window, and walked on the wall one by one, looking for her figure.

In addition to her father's last wish, he wants to protect her, she is his only relative, even if she is stupid and ridiculous, annoying, but she is his sister after all.

After Shui Ling'er and Situ Jing had eaten and drunk enough, they came out of the restaurant one after the other, Shui Ling'er turned to Situ Jing behind him and said, "Brother Jing, the food in this house is delicious, will we come again?"

Situ Jing walked up to her and said lightly, "As long as you want to eat, I'll bring you." Although it is a little further from the frontier.

Shui Ling'er smiled brightly when she heard this, and when she was about to take the initiative to hook Situ Jing's elbow, Situ Jing pushed her away, and a man in black slashed between them with a big knife.

The man in black got up and slashed at Shui Ling'er, Situ Jing slapped him from behind with a palm, and pulled Shui Ling'er into his arms to protect him.

He was not the only man in black, dozens of men in black surrounded them, each holding a big knife, without saying a word, covering his face with a black scarf, and communicating with each other only by his eyes.

With one look, they all attacked Situ Jing.

Situ Jing's hand holding Shui Ling'er was tighter, because the people in black were all coming at Shui Ling'er, and his skills were extraordinary, he only had one hand left to fight back, but most of the time he was dodging.

Shui Wuxian found them, quickly jumped down to join the battle, and said to Situ Jing, "You go back to the tavern first, those are all your people, they don't dare to chase after them."

Situ nodded, hugged Shui Ling'er and ran in the direction of the tavern, he was now going to protect Shui Ling'er first.

The man in black wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Shui Wuji, who said sternly: "She is a member of my Black Plum Gang, whoever wants to kill her will not be able to get along with the Black Plum Gang."

The people in black were stunned for a moment, the Black Plum Gang is the number one killer organization in the world, and recently there are rumors that there is the support of the royal family behind it, if you are offended, you don't have to survive at all, and you will be hunted down and killed if you flee to the ends of the earth.

When the man in black at the head saw his own people cowering, he shouted, "We all take people's money and wealth to eliminate the disaster, what are we afraid of, don't kill him quickly." After saying that, he shouted, and all the men in black attacked the water without a trace.

Shui Wuxian drew his sword to resist the attack of the man in black, he tentatively attacked a few moves, although the people in black are extraordinary, but they are just temporarily gathered together, and the shots are all based on their own consciousness, there is no tacit understanding at all, this is nothing more than a gap, let Shui Wuxian break through.

In the end, Shui Wuxian only left the black-clothed man at the head, and he said coldly: "Go back and tell Yanhou that no matter what kind of ugliness he has, that country girl is a member of my Black Plum Gang, and if she dares to touch her, she will be against my Black Plum Gang."

"Yes."

After Situ Jing and Shui Ling'er returned to the tavern, Situ Jing said to Shui Ling'er seriously, "Go back to the room, don't run around, I'll let Ah Jiu look at you."

Shui Ling'er didn't want to go back to the dreary room, she tried to coquettishly say, "Brother Jing."

Situ Jing shouted sternly, "Don't be willful, go back to your room and stay." There were people out there who wanted to hunt her down, and he didn't find out who was going to kill her behind the scenes, so he couldn't feel at ease for a moment.

Shui Ling'er lowered her head, turned around with tears in her eyes, and walked back to the room lonely.

Fang Yu sighed secretly in his heart, even if something happened, King Jing shouldn't have yelled at Shui Ling'er.

Situ Jing saw Fang Yu looking at Shui Ling'er's departing back, and said unhappily, "Don't look at her, I won't let you accompany her if you look at it again."

Fang Yu retracted his gaze and said respectfully to Situ Jing, "Yes."

Situ Jing walked past Fang Yu and said, "Go to the study to discuss."

After a while, in the study, Situ Jing told Fang Yu about the attack on the man in black, and he continued, "The person behind the killing of the man in black is still in the town, but I don't know who it is." It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Why does King Jing think so?"

"Fighting with them for a few tricks, although they are extraordinary, but they are chaotic, and they are only temporary, we have been in this town for a while, and we have not seen the assassination of the man in black, that is, it has only been made up in the past two days, and the person who has made up for them must be in this town, he has to wait for the result."

"We could search everyone in this town, but the Mirror Collector doesn't even have a clue."

"When the water comes back without a trace, the mirror collector must meet him." Otherwise, there would not have been such a good time to save them.

"What if he doesn't say it?"

"Kill him!"

Situ Jing's serious expression made Fang Yu not doubt what he said, but he heard that Shui Wuxian had a good relationship with the emperor, if he killed Shui Wuji, wouldn't he offend the emperor.

Shui Ling'er stayed in the room, she sat at the table boringly, supported her head with one hand, and muttered, "Ah Jiu, I want to go out."

Ah Jiu said respectfully, "No, King Jing ordered Da Mao Ni to stay in the room."

"But I'm so bored."

Ah Jiu was silent for a moment and said, "Da Mao Ni, listen to my advice and keep a distance from King Jing."
