Chen Jinke, a disciple of the Kongtong faction, leaned at the window and peeked out, for a whole hour, not moving at all, as if he was asleep like this, and finally he "woke up", turned his head to Lin Xiaoshan and said, "I think it's almost."

Lin Xiaoshan sat on the chair, holding his son tightly in his arms, the father and son had not seen each other for a year, Lin Xin no longer knew his father, and it took him half the night to settle down beside him, at this time he was sleeping soundly, and his cheeks already looked like a mother, which made Lin Xiaoshan feel very sad.

"Everyone's gone?"

"I think so, your idea is good, they don't doubt it at all now. ”

The current situation of the two is very special, as if they are being detained, but there are no guards in sight, and the door is not locked, but every time they go out less than twenty steps, there must be a killer with a narrow knife who unexpectedly appears and politely asks them to go back, to be precise, they are under house arrest.

Every two or three days, Zhong Heng will come to report on the situation outside, sometimes optimistic, sometimes nervous, in short, the official government is very strict, they are still in danger, they can't go out casually, as for the Dragon King, he is still in the frontier against the Xiao Yan clan, and he will come to the capital soon.

The same day was repeated, the only change was that the chains attached to the two wrists were opened, and they still lived in the same room, spending a lot of time analyzing the assassination that night in detail, and the more they thought about it, the more wrong it became.

Lin Xiaoshan once asked Zhong Heng, who was the person who was killed that night, in addition to the prince of Xiao Wang, there was also a noble young man, Zhong Heng did not evade, "Sun Liang, the ancestor was an official, and now he is not a nobleman, but he is the attendant of the prince of Xiao Wang, who hid in the palace with him, lived in the next room, and happened to get up at night, so he had to kill him." ”

Zhong Heng said so plainly and casually, from his expression to his voice, there was no flaw, and even his eyes were sincere, Chen Jinke almost believed him, and then said to Lin Xiaoshan: "Is the Dragon King really so powerful? I can actually send you to the palace to assassinate, alas, I will never have the face to see King Xiao again." ”

Chen Jinke had only seen King Xiao once, and he was still in the light of his uncle Fan, but that was the beginning of his career in the rivers and lakes, and it ended just after tasting the sweetness, which made him heartbroken.

Lin Xiaoshan has other ideas, he has lived in the capital for many years, in order to find out the news for the Dragon King, he has no less contacts with the princes and nobles, and he has a secret in his heart, which makes him see the facts more thoroughly, "The Dragon King does not have this ability, even if he has, he will not waste it on the prince of Xiao Wang." ”

"Hey, isn't the Dragon King helping you get revenge?"

"You don't know him. Lin Xiaoshan didn't know much about the Dragon King, but from the way the Dragon King treated Jiang He himself, he understood one thing: "The Dragon King is not a bad person, but he is not a good person, unless it is beneficial to him, he will not do anything." Just to avenge me and risk killing people in the palace?no, that's not the Dragonlord's surname. Moreover, I could see clearly that the other person who died was neatly dressed, not up late at night, and gorgeously dressed, and certainly not a follower. ”

The two talked about this issue for two days, and finally Chen Jinke admitted that Lin Xiaoshan's guess was probably right: they were used, and Zhong Heng hid many secrets that he did not say.

They tried to escape, but they were unsuccessful, but provoked Zhong Heng to strengthen the guard, so Chen Jinke came up with a new idea, "If this continues, we can't escape no matter what, we have to let Zhong Heng relax his vigilance, thinking that we don't want to run at all." ”

The two of them have been very obedient from then on, and when Zhong Heng describes the situation outside as very dangerous, they show the panic they deserve.

More than twenty days passed, the guards only relaxed slightly, and it was still impossible to escape, Lin Xiaoshan decided to behave more realistically, and began to pester Zhong Heng, hoping to take his son over, to show that he intended to hide for a long time.

This trick seems to have really worked, and yesterday morning, Lin Xiaoshan finally saw his son, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and cried bitterly in his arms, almost forgetting that there was another purpose for this move.

Last night, Zhong Heng moved them to another hiding place, and drastically reduced the guards, and this morning, it seems that there are no more.

Chen Jinke has been practicing the skills of finding the traces of the killer these days, and he has a lot of experience, especially during the day, he found that the killers actually don't have too many unexpected hiding methods, their biggest advantage is patience, hiding in one place can not move for a long time, just such a simple trick is enough to hide from the eyes of most people, even experienced old rivers and lakes, rarely pay too much attention to rigid things.

Chen Jinke's method of dealing with it was to divide the surrounding environment into several small pieces, and then scan them one by one, he stared at them for an hour, and found nothing, and there were many dead corners that he could not see, but he judged that there were no more than three guards nearby, maybe only one.

"Is this now?" Lin Xiaoshan hesitated, he asked his son to come to show that he had no intention of escaping, but he held Lin Xin in his arms, looking at the little face that was slightly similar to his deceased wife, he didn't dare to take any risks, this was his only relative, if there was another accident, he wouldn't even have the courage to live.

"I have a hunch that there seems to be something big today, the killers have been transferred, and after today, there may not be a better time. Chen Jinke glanced at the sleeping child, "Zhong Heng has been with us for so long, even if he finds out that we are going to escape, he will not kill us." ”

Lin Xiaoshan nodded, he couldn't always be trapped here, Zhong Heng must have a plan, once it is realized, the three of them will become superfluous.

"Then ...... Let's go. Chen Jinke said that the two had already made a plan and there was no need to discuss it.

Lin Xiaoshan carefully put his son on the bed, went out alone, stood in the small courtyard for a while, and then went to push the courtyard door and locked it from the outside, which is a good sign that the guards have indeed decreased.

He grabbed the door frame and climbed up, and after a few feet off the ground, he looked up and saw a person standing on the wall diagonally above, with his many years of experience in Biyu City, Lin Xiaoshan recognized this person as a Jinpeng killer at a glance.

The killer was about thirty years old, and because he deliberately wanted to appear quiet, his expression was a little weird, as if he didn't care about people.

"What are you doing?" the killer asked.

"Go out and get some air, and by the way, get my son something to play with. ”

"There's nothing out there. ”

"There are no flowers, trees, insects and birds, and when I came last night, I saw that this was a big garden. ”

The killer was momentarily speechless, "No, you can't get out." ”

"I used to be able to go out, why can't I go out today? What about Zhong Heng? Call him, I want to see him. ”

The killer's right hand rested on the hilt of the narrow knife, and he slowed his voice and said, "Go back to the house." ”

Lin Xiaoshan was annoyed, climbed up another foot, and said loudly: "I grew up in Biyu City since I was a child, and I have never been afraid of any killers, even if I am a dragon king, I am not as unreasonable as you, just find some toys for children, and I can ...... it."

The killer didn't like to argue, so he jumped into the courtyard and dragged Lin Xiaoshan down with his hand.

Lin Xiaoshan fell to the ground, rolled over, and hugged the killer's ankle.

The killer suddenly woke up, knowing that he had been tricked, he drew his knife out of the sheath and stabbed Lin Xiaoshan in the back, at this moment, instinct prevailed, and he had long forgotten the order to stay alive.

The tip of the knife was less than half a foot away from Lin Xiaoshan's back, and the killer froze.

Chen Jinke ran out of the house, his face was pale, and he let out a sigh of relief, he used a stone to point the killer to the point, this move is a profound martial art, the deviation does not work at all, he is not familiar with the practice, he is really afraid that a trick will miss and kill Lin Xiaoshan.

Adding a few acupoints on the killer's body, Chen Jinke glanced around, "It seems that he is the only one, how to deal with it, kill it?"

Lin Xiaoshan shook his head, "If they are really working for the Dragon King, we will make a big mistake." ”

Lin Xiaoshan went back to the house to hug his son, Chen Jinke circled around the killer, snatched the narrow knife in the opponent's hand, and waved it twice, feeling that this strange weapon was not very convenient, but it was better than nothing, so he unsheathed the knife and said to the killer: "Borrow it and use it, and we should pay a price for locking us up for so long." ”

The killer couldn't speak, his eyes were full of anger and panic, as if Chen Jinke had taken not only a knife, but also half his life.

Lin Xiaoshan came out, Chen Jinke took Lin Xin, hugged him and jumped on the wall, Lin Xiaoshan climbed up by himself, the two glanced around, this was really a huge garden, and the yard where they lived was lonely.

"What's wrong?" After jumping to the ground, Lin Xiaoshan asked, and when he picked up his son from Chen Jinke's hand, he found that the other party's face was slightly puzzled.

"I think I've been here before, but I can't remember the specifics. ”

"The gardens in the capital are pretty much the same. ”

Chen Jinke nodded, thinking that this was probably the reason.

Next, he explored the road in front, and Lin Xiaoshan followed behind for more than a dozen steps, coaxing his son from time to time, hoping that he would not suddenly wake up and cry.

"Strange. Chen Jinke stopped and turned around and whispered.

Lin Xiaoshan caught up, "Just a guard, and no one else?"

"No, but you can see the flowers and plants in the vicinity, they are all well cared for. ”

"Let's go out and talk. Lin Xiaoshan could already see the wall in the distance, which was much higher than the courtyard wall of the small courtyard where the two of them lived, and it was still a question of how to climb out later.

He didn't go far before Chen Jinke stopped again and pulled out his knife.

Lin Xiaoshan slowly approached, followed Chen Jinchun's gaze, and saw a person lying in a cluster of flowers, as if asleep, motionless.

Chen Jinke held the knife, tiptoed close to the flowers, bent down to take a look, and dragged the man out.

This is also a killer, the narrow knife under his waist is still there, and it is not out of the sheath, but it is obviously also hit by someone, Chen Jinke pushed it on him a few times, looked up and said: "Very strange technique, I have never seen it." ”

Lin Xiaoshan looked around in horror, and no longer felt that the garden was empty. (To be continued.) )
