Chapter 46: Temptation
Unconsciously, Xiao Ling actually walked to the place where the last time he peeked at the guard's residence. [Full text reading]
However, all this is different from last time, the courtyard is deserted at this moment, and there is not half of the guards here.
Xiao Ling didn't care about this either, after all, after the last assassination, the Zhao Mansion was also on alert, and naturally there would be no guards who could spare time to rest here.
Just as Xiao Ling was thinking about leaving here, he suddenly felt a strong wind behind him.
Xiao Ling was shocked, and the first reaction in his mind was that there was an assassin.
It's just that before Xiao Ling's thoughts could react, the fierce wind had already quickly approached him.
For some reason, Xiao Ling's body subconsciously tilted to the side, and the fierce wind instantly brushed the clothes on Xiao Ling's shoulder.
Immediately, a sound of doubt sounded, and immediately after, Xiao Ling saw the face of the person who came, and it was Qin Yi, the leader of the Zhao family's guards.
Xiao Ling looked at Qin Yi with some confusion, not understanding why he made a move on him.
Who knows, without waiting for Xiao Ling to speak, Qin Yi's hand kept moving, and he swung another punch towards Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling was secretly angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to be careless, and when he saw Qin Yi swinging his fist at him, he hurriedly fled backwards in embarrassment.
I don't know if he was lucky enough to be able to dodge Qin Yi's attack with Jin Xuan's cultivation, although the dodging appearance was too embarrassing.
And Qin Yi also flashed a trace of shock and confusion in his eyes when he saw Xiao Ling fleeing in embarrassment.
He only used three layers of strength just now, and he originally just planned to test Xiao Ling.
Last time, when Qin Yi was teaching other guard martial arts, he was also taken aback by Xiao Ling's unconsciously performed movements.
So much so that when I suddenly met Xiao Ling again today, I couldn't help but try it.
At this moment, seeing Xiao Ling's embarrassed appearance, Qin Yi's eyes were even more puzzled, but he didn't make another move.
And Xiao Ling saw Qin Yi stop moving, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you doing?"
Hearing Xiao Ling's angry rebuke, Qin Yi shook his head, he really couldn't connect Xiao Ling in front of him with the hidden master in his heart.
But although Xiao Ling's actions just now were a little embarrassing, he really dodged his attack.
You must know that as a Jin Xuanwu, even if he only takes out thirty percent of his strength, it is not something that ordinary people can deal with.
However, Qin Yi never felt that Xiao Ling had the slightest bit of mystical qi on him, which made him very confused.
"Strange, is it my delusion?" Qin Yiwu muttered to himself.
Xiao Ling's attitude towards Qin Yi was even more confusing, but he was attacked by someone for some reason, and he was still a golden Xuanwu, which made Xiao Ling very annoyed, and his voice also said with implicit anger: "Sect Leader Qin, what are you doing, why did you attack me for no reason?"
Qin Yi came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Ling carefully, and immediately smiled and said, "You are sneaky alone, I thought an assassin broke in." ”
Xiao Ling was very dissatisfied with Qin Yi's answer, but she also knew that the guy in front of her was not easy to mess with, so she could only hold back her anger and said, "Since it's okay, then I'll go." ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ling turned around and left, he didn't want to stay any longer, in case this Qin Yi suddenly went crazy and attacked him, his little life would not last a few times.
Just when Xiao Ling left depressedly, he was far away in a dark room of the Mingxuan Chamber of Commerce.
A man in black stood in a dark corner, making it impossible to see his true face.
In front of him stood an old man and a slightly bloated man.
The old man is the shopkeeper of the Mingxuan Chamber of Commerce.
More than a month has passed since the last attack on many forces in Sea City.
At this time, the old face of the shopkeeper Mu, which was already full of wrinkles, seemed to be wrinkled more tightly than usual, and I saw him say with a worried face: "What is good now, most of the three-month period has passed, and the Zhao family's industry has not been dealt any substantial blow." ”
"Shopkeeper Mu, don't be impatient, I have already received the news, and the operation against the Zhao family will start soon. The man in black spoke in a very flat tone.
Suddenly, the wrinkled old face of the shopkeeper Mu couldn't help but show a hint of joy, and hurriedly asked: "Messenger, to this day, you still refuse to reveal a thing or two?"
The man in black was silent for a moment before he said lightly, "Do you remember that day I sent a large number of assassins to attack the major forces at the same time. ”
Shopkeeper Mu nodded, he naturally knew this, in his heart, he still thought that the actions of this man in black were too reckless, which would cause the Mingxuan Chamber of Commerce to have a hard time now.
The man in black seemed to see Shopkeeper Mu's thoughts, and then said with a sneer: "Is Shopkeeper Mu wondering in his heart, why did I do that in the first place, and at this moment, maybe he still secretly blames me in my heart for being extremely stupid?"
Shopkeeper Mu suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and explained urgently: "Messenger, how can the little old man have such an idea, the envoy is afraid that he has misunderstood." ”
Xing Baiyi, who was on the side, seemed to hear what the man in black was saying, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does the envoy plan to do?"
The man in black glanced at the two of them with slanted eyes, and then said lightly: "The key to this plan is here, since you have been waiting for a month, it is not bad for a few days, I believe that good news will come soon." ”
"What kind of plan is it, Messenger, you say this, so that we two are confused. Xing Baiyi was very dissatisfied with the man in black being so secretive.
"Borrow a knife to kill!"
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" Xing Baiyi just wanted to ask for an understanding, but after the man in black said this, he quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Watching the man in black leave quietly, Xing Baiyi and Shopkeeper Mu glanced at each other.
"Deacon Xing, what should we do now? What does it mean to kill people with a knife?" asked Shopkeeper Mu with a wry smile.
Xing Baiyi's eyes narrowed into a straight line, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "So far, we can only follow what he said, I hope he will not let us down." ”
Soon, the darkness was quiet again.
Xiao Ling naturally didn't know what kind of conspiracy the Zhao family was about to face.
After being attacked by Qin Yi inexplicably, Xiao Ling was no longer in the mood to continue lounging.
After Qin Yi's incident, he became even more determined to let himself master the Xuan Qi as soon as possible, and only when he was really strong would he not be regarded as a soft persimmon.
Otherwise, like today, a little guard head in any mansion can be bullied to him.
This is still that Qin Yi has no malicious intent, if he is replaced by other treacherous people, I am afraid that it is still unknown whether he can come back now.
Along the way, Xiao Ling unconsciously came to the small courtyard where people usually gather.
This small courtyard is specially used by the Zhao family to provide a place for people to rest in their leisure time on weekdays.
When he came to the courtyard, Xiao Ling saw that there were already more than a dozen people in the courtyard, and when he looked up, they were all people who had a good relationship with him on weekdays.
Among them, Zhao Wan'er's personal maid Qing'er is also here.
Seeing Xiao Ling coming, Qing'er showed a sweet smile to Xiao Ling, and said in a coquettish voice: "Brother Xiao Ling!"
Xiao Ling nodded with a smile, and then saw Zhou Ziming on the side, and couldn't help asking: "You kid, you don't have to work, aren't you afraid that Old Man Cai will give you hardship again?"
Zhou Ziming laughed twice, and then said in a low voice: "You don't know, since I learned Xuanqi, I have been working much faster than usual these days, and Old Man Cai also praised me, no, I was specially given a holiday today." ”
As he spoke, he showed a smug expression.
When Xiao Ling heard this, he smiled, but he was a little depressed in his heart, if he hadn't acted recklessly, he wouldn't have been able to use Xuan Qi until now.
In his heart, he could only pray that Ling Xiao would quickly come up with a way to solve his physical condition.
At this time, Qing'er and a group of people over there muttered to Xiao Ling to go over, and Xiao Ling had no choice but to suppress these thoughts, and then came to the group and chatted with everyone.
Xiao Ling's performance in the Zhao family during this period was very eye-catching, and Xiao Ling was kind to people on weekdays, so it was easy to be recognized by most people.
At this moment, more than a dozen people sat together, and the mood was also very warm.
Xiao Ling's previous story to Zhao Xu and Zhao Wan'er also gradually spread in Zhao's mansion.
Everyone knew that Xiao Ling always had some strange thoughts in his head, so when he saw Xiao Ling present at this moment, they spoke out one after another and asked him to tell everyone a story.
Xiao Ling really couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm, so she had to reluctantly agree.
At this time, Zhou Ziming suddenly smiled and said: "Xiao Ling, why don't you continue to tell us the story of the last "Best Family", I want to know if there is anything wrong with Lin San after he met the mighty general." ”
Most of what Xiao Ling tells Zhao Xu on weekdays is written fairy tales, occasionally mixed with some classic inspirational stories.
However, these things can also coax children, and in the face of these subordinates of his age, Xiao Ling naturally knows that those things are not attractive to them.
And last time, I don't know who forced her, Xiao Ling had no choice but to search her intestines and scrape her stomach, so she told everyone about a novel called "The Best Family" that she saw on the Internet that year.
Of course, because the protagonist Lin San in it is from modern times like him, everything in it that involves modern times has been transformed by Xiao Ling.
Although this greatly reduced the readability, it still attracted most of the subordinates of the Zhao Mansion.
After all, the identity of the protagonist in "The Best Family" is the same as them, and some things born in nature are easy to resonate with everyone.
Hearing Zhou Ziming's shouting at this moment, Xiao Ling smiled, and continued to tell everyone the story of Lin San and the mighty general.
Everyone's minds were gradually attracted by the story told by Xiao Ling, and I have to say that this smash hit novel back then was a very classic.
Even in this different world, everyone is addicted to it and can't extricate themselves.
However, Xiao Ling's mood at the moment is different from theirs, for him, what he is telling is not just a story, but more about his feelings.
He knew that when he came here, he might not have any hope of returning to Earth in this life, and maybe only the things on this Earth could relieve his homesickness a little.
