Chapter 9: Assassination in Chaos

The children's examination in Wenxian County has ended, and the days have returned to calm, but people have a new topic after dinner.

It has been many days since Lintian salted fish turned over, and no one has seen Lintian again, and everyone is speculating whether Lintian was really killed by the Wen family.

Wen Houde was drinking tea in the study at this time, and the housekeeper was holding a note in his hand.

"Master, there is a letter from the capital, saying that it has been arranged, and people have also been arranged along the road to keep an eye on it, as long as people arrive, they will do it immediately when the opportunity is ripe. ”

The corners of Wen Houde's mouth slowly raised: "Well, that's good, he thought that he could escape by sneaking away, hum, stupid." ”

"Don't worry, master, this time it must be done cleanly, by the way, the three young masters have also set off for Cangzhou. The butler said respectfully.

"Well, that's good, after getting rid of this kid, let them take down Xiucai, so that there will be 'three talents'. ”

"By the way, master, I heard that the Cangzhou exam is different this time, as if something happened, and a 'protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven' was sent. ”

Wen Houde took a sip of tea, "That's right, the second brother has already said it, but it involves a bit big, and it can only be seen who God favors with luck......"

At this time, the atmosphere of the Mountain Gorge Inn was a little tense, and the scholar stared at the man in white with death.

He said fiercely: "Sage Yun's 'Humane Rite Chief, Indecent and Enlightened People', how can you be called a scholar in your current behavior? Aren't you afraid of being condemned by the heavens and fortunes?"

Bai Yi said contemptuously: "Hmph, just your luck of two buckets of rice, you are still talking to me about literati? Don't talk nonsense with you, hurry up and get out of the way, if you tire our daughter, I'm afraid that even the 'Wind and Rain Sage Boyazi' of your academy won't be able to save you!" After speaking, several people behind the man stepped forward, as if they wanted to take down the scholar.

"You!" ...... the scholar was about to say, but was stopped by the innkeeper.

"Ouch, guest officer, don't you just change your position, there's no need to argue, it's still yourself who will suffer when the time comes, it's a big deal that I'll add some food to a few of you later." ”

A few big men who were about to be angry next to him also secretly suppressed their anger at this time, and the people who were bound by the darts were already taboo about unnecessary trouble, but in the end everyone compromised and changed to other tables with scolding.

Then, the man in white set up the stool flatteringly and motioned for the woman to sit down, revealing a little admiration in his eyes.

Lin Tian watched silently from the sidelines, and he found that although the veiled woman did not speak from beginning to end, the woman's eyes were very bright, and she had been watching with great interest.

"Alas, I think it should be the eldest lady of someone's family, this kind of fearless appearance should be an unusual identity. Anyway, it's none of his business, so Lintian didn't pay attention to it and continued to eat his noodles.

But Lin Tian didn't notice that the previous vague gazes had disappeared, to be exact, these people were gone.

The sky gradually darkened, Lintian decided to stay in this inn for one night, and set off early tomorrow morning, if he braved the night to hurry, Lintian felt that it would be more dangerous, especially the previous obscure gaze, which made him feel a little bad.

Lintian walked to the counter and asked Xiao Er to open a room, Xiao Er arranged a cabin on the second floor for him, the price was not too expensive, Lin Tian had some doubts in his heart, obviously there was a better room, why didn't this Xiao Er give it to him, but he didn't have any requirements for the room, so he didn't take it to heart, took the room card, and went upstairs to rest.

When he went upstairs, he couldn't help but look back, and it just so happened that the veiled woman also looked over, and the two looked at each other, Lintian didn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly turned around and walked to the room.

The inn closed early, but the guests inside didn't mean to sleep, and there were still a few tables of people sitting scattered around the stars, drinking wine and chatting about things.

Lintian was lying on the bed in the hut, some couldn't sleep, no matter what he thought, it seemed that there was something wrong, because he had the memory of his previous life, so now Lintian's thinking is much more active.

Quietly, he closed his eyes and slowly analyzed the scene of the inn.

The people who ate at the table with themselves should all be ordinary people, and they all left after eating, but they clearly felt it before, and there were a few vague eyes looking at themselves, if these people were really sent by Wen Houde to kill them, then why did they disappear later?

The scholar should have just been passing by, but from beginning to end, the people in the dart bureau did not speak to the merchant?

When the shopkeeper finally gave himself a brand, there were also some abnormalities, why didn't he recommend a better room for himself, don't you make money?

Lin Tian knew that he did not have the strength to fight the enemy now, and he could only rely on wisdom and prudence to make his life safer. Lin Tian squinted his eyes and connected all the people again and again, he now needed to lock the opponent's position so that he could find a way to protect himself.

The room he was in was the last one on the second floor, there was not even a window, it was small and broken, and Lintian found that except for his own, the other rooms on the second floor were occupied by the people of the dart game, that is to say, the man in white and his party lived in the most expensive room on the top floor.

After a while, Lin Tian seemed to think of something, and sat up suddenly: "Aren't they together? If the target is not just me, then there are only men in white in this inn." ”

Lin Tian frowned: "When I came on the road, I didn't see anyone in the dart game, but there were a lot of merchants, by the way, the merchant ......."

Gently pushing the door open, Lintian poked his head out and looked around.

The corridor was very quiet, not even the snoring of people sleeping, Lin Tian knew that Wen Houde's people must be in the inn, secretly came to the end of the corridor, saw that there were still people drinking outside, Lin Tian followed the ventilation skylight of the corridor wall, jumped outside, the night was very dark, Lin Tian felt dark, came to Ma Peng, and secretly got into a carriage.

It's not safe to go out now, so Lintian decided to hide in this carriage tonight, and by the way, he can also monitor who wants to assassinate him.

After a few hours, the people in the inn finally became sleepy, and they all went back to their rooms to rest, when suddenly he heard a thin footsteps, and it seemed that there were many people.

"Could it be that Wen Houde's people are here?" said Lin Tian in his heart.

"But it doesn't feel like there are so many people who catch me as powerless. ”

Lintian thought as he opened the curtain on the carriage, and could faintly see a few dark shadows.

At this time, on the third floor of the inn, everyone gathered in the room of the man in white.

"Childe, you take the young lady to go first, let's take it, if you go to the capital in the future, don't forget to help the brothers avenge it. One of the men said.

If Lintian is here, he will definitely know it, and the man in white at this moment actually swept away the previous squirrel, and his eyes revealed a stern meaning.
