Hearing the sound of pedestrians passing by by chance outside the carriage, Chen Jinke knew that they had returned to the capital again.

The carriage was tightly covered, and Chen Jinke and Lin Xiaoshan were still chained together, but their identities had changed: now the Kongtong faction ** was a prisoner, and the Dragon King's subordinates had become his protectors.

A man in black once suggested to Lin Xiaoshan very bluntly: "Cut off his hand, and you will be ***, and we will find a way to remove the chains for you in two days." ”

Lin Xiaoshan refused, in fact, he still didn't believe that these people were rescuers, and every time someone showed up, he would ask sternly: "Who are you from?"

The man in black also refused to answer, and soon they changed their clothes, looking no different from ordinary Central Plains people, and there was actually a smile on their faces, one of the people who appeared most often claimed to be Zhang Shouxuan, about thirty years old, as if he rarely washed his face, there was always a faint blue on his forehead, and his beard was rarely trimmed, adding to the color of wind and frost, it was this person who smiled the most, and gave Lin Xiaoshan a hint: "You will know soon, rest assured, you are safe." ”

Lin Xiaoshan's safety is Chen Jinke's insecurity, he is always worried, and often wakes up in his sleep, for fear of opening his eyes and finding that Lin Xiaoshan is gone, only black-clothed with a sharp narrow knife beside him.

But he never begged Lin Xiaoshan, the identity gap has changed too much, as a famous family, he can't accept it, so he can only be silent.

On several occasions, they were blindfolded and transferred to another vehicle, and near the end of their trip, they were transferred to a small boat for a while.

Finally, the two were sent into a small room, took off the blindfolded black cloth, and Zhang Shouxuan said kindly: "This is one of the safest places in the capital, but I don't recommend the two of you to go out." ”

As a guarantee of the suggestion, the door was locked from the outside, and through the gap, only the empty courtyard could be seen.

"Thank you for taking care of me along the way, but I am a Kongtong faction**, and I will never betray my master and join the Dragon King. Chen Jinke felt the need to make a statement.

"If the Dragon King really wants to kill you, I won't intercede for you. Lin Xiaoshan's tone was cold.

Chen Jinke blushed a little, the so-called "care" was just that there were no bad words, even now, he still felt that Lin Xiaoshan was a prisoner, "Listen to what you mean, the Dragon King is a very strict person." ”

"That's right, the Dragon King is very strict, and he will avenge me. ”

Lin Xiaoshan's voice was cold and ruthless, suppressing great anger, Chen Jinke didn't ask any further, he had heard what happened to Lin Xiaoshan's wife, and he could understand this hatred, but the object of hatred was the prince of Xiao Wang, far beyond the ability of a group of people from the Western Regions.

The success of the first sneak attack by the killers in the Western Regions must have caused public outrage in the rivers and lakes, and he thought that when the various sects were really vigilant and powerful, no matter how many killers there were, there would be no chance of survival.

An hour later, when the sky was getting dark, Zhang Shouxuan personally brought the food and said, "If someone comes to see you later, maybe you will trust him a little more." ”

Half an hour later, Lin Xiaoshan was surprised to see an acquaintance walk in, "Zhong ...... Prime Minister Zhong!"

Chen Jinke thought that "Prime Minister" was a personal name, but it took a while to understand that this was an official position, and the official title that had long been abandoned by the Central Plains Imperial Court was still used in the Western Regions.

Zhong Heng sat opposite the two of them, "How many years have you been here, I didn't expect you to be still alive, but the Dragon King deceived everyone." ”

Lin Xiaoshan's face turned red, he had a lot of contacts with Zhong Heng in the Xiaoyao Sea Stone Country, but when he fled the Western Regions, he didn't leave any hints, "Dragon King ......"

Zhong Heng interrupted him with a smile, "The Dragon King's actions are always unexpected. ”

After the accident, Lin Xiaoshan remembered many things, although he rarely interacted with people from the Western Regions, he could still hear a lot of news thousands of miles away in the capital of the Central Plains, "Prime Minister Zhong is not ......"

"I'm not a prime minister anymore. Zhong Heng's casual tone revealed a hint of disappointment, "Well, I lost the battle in the Western Regions and lost all my troops and territory, that's a fact. ”

Chen Jinke was confused when he heard it, he didn't even know which countries in the Western Regions were, let alone those distant wars, he was just surprised, the "prime minister" in front of him was dressed simply, had a rigid appearance, and actually led troops to fight.

"Misfortune and blessing depend, who can say that defeat is necessarily a bad thing?" Zhong Heng continued, his voice becoming free, "I was defeated in Biyu City, and I could only retreat to the depths of the grassland to protect myself, and it was there that I restored contact with the Dragon King. ”

"Have you ever seen the Dragon King?" Lin Xiaoshan was skeptical, for so many years, he had never heard the slightest news about the Dragon King.

"Not the Dragon King himself, it's the messenger he sent, I believe in this messenger, and he also carries a token. ”

Lin Xiaoshan's confidence, which was originally less than one percent in his heart, suddenly increased to seven or eight percent, and he stammered: "Those Jinpeng killers...... Could it be, is it that the dragon king ......?"

"The Dragon King's will for me is to gather the fleeing Jinpeng killers, reorganize them, and quietly infiltrate the Central Plains. ”

Lin Xiaoshan's suspicions all disappeared, Zhong Heng was right, the Dragon King often acted unexpectedly, he previously felt that it was impossible for the Dragon King to accept the Jinpeng Killer, in fact, thinking about it on the other hand, this is indeed a very reasonable trick, the Dragon King gave up the army, and he always had to master other types of power.

"The Dragon King still wants revenge?" Lin Xiaoshan asked excitedly.

Zhong Heng nodded solemnly, "Of course, the Dragon King has already found out the mastermind behind the destruction of the sect back then, and he has been secretly arranging it all these years, so he is about to do it." ”

Lin Xiaoshan took the case, and Chen Jinke had to stand up together, embarrassed, "When will I see the Dragon King?"

"Until the victory is in hand, the dragon king will not show up. ”

Lin Xiaoshan was impulsive, and almost wanted to say all the words in his heart, but finally forcibly held back, "Can Lord Zhong pass a word to the Dragon King for me?"

"Of course, I have regular correspondence with the Dragon King's emissary. ”

"Please tell the Dragon King that I have lived up to his trust. Lin Xiaoshan believed that the Dragon King would understand the meaning of this sentence......

Zhong Heng was still as cautious as before, never asking about superfluous things, but solemnly promised: "Your words will be passed on to the Dragon King word for word." ”

Lin Xiaoshan sat down, a little excited and at a loss, "What does the Dragon King want me to do next?"

Zhong Heng glanced at Chen Jinke and said, "The Dragon King wants you to take revenge tonight, are you ready?"

Lin Xiaoshan's left fist pressed tightly on the table, "I've been ready for a long time." ”

Zhong Heng did not disclose the specific plan and took his leave.

"This 'Prime Minister Zhong' is not credible, why does the Dragon King want to contact a person who defeated the battle?" As soon as Zhong Heng left, Chen Jinke expressed his opinion.

"You don't know the Dragon King. Lin Xiaoshan still said the same thing, from the moment he saw Zhong Heng, he was already convinced that everything was the Dragon King's plan.

Chen Jinke kept his mouth shut, the ominous feeling lingered, but he couldn't find an obvious flaw.

After more than half an hour, Chen Jinke found that his skills had actually begun to recover, and the group of men in black had obviously stopped drugging them.

Lin Xiaoshan also recovered, "Look, there's nothing to doubt. ”

Chen Jinke wanted to persuade Lin Xiaoshan to escape with him, but at this moment, the man in black came again.

There were five people in total, with their faces covered, and the person who spoke was Zhang Shouxuan, "Change your clothes and go." ”

It took a lot of twists and turns to change clothes, and the two killers stepped forward to help, and only then did they put on night clothes for the two, Lin Xiaoshan got a narrow knife, and Chen Jinke was still barehanded.

It was pitch black outside, and when he walked out of the small courtyard, Chen Jinke found that they were on a secluded street, with lush vegetation on both sides, but there were few houses, which was somewhat similar to the back flower courtyard of King Xiao's mansion.

Chen Jinke hesitated, planned several escape plans in his heart, and finally gave up, because each plan inevitably had to snatch a knife and cut off Lin Xiaoshan's wrist or even kill someone, he couldn't do such an ungrateful evil deed.

The five men in black were extremely familiar with the path, walking and stopping, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and sometimes hiding in the nearby bushes, but they didn't run into anyone along the way.

After about an hour, they finally reached their destination.

In front of him was another small courtyard of reading power, Zhang Shouxuan motioned for everyone to stop, and the two killers climbed over the wall first, and after a while, opened the courtyard door from the inside.

When the others walked in, the courtyard door was immediately closed, and Chen Jinke saw at a glance that there were two corpses lying on the ground, and the killers had already cleared the scene for Lin Xiaoshan.

Zhang Shouxuan stretched out his arm and said in a very low voice, "It's your turn." ”

Lin Xiaoshan pulled out his knife, followed the direction indicated by Zhang Shouxuan, and went straight to the middle main room.

The portal is hidden, and it opens as soon as it is pushed.

All five killers stayed outside and did not follow up.

Chen Jinke's heart was beating faster and faster, and he felt that Lin Xiaoshan's actions should be stopped, but he couldn't find a suitable reason.

The two walked to the bed, and someone was sleeping soundly, and Lin Xiaoshan gently slapped the sleeper's face twice with a knife.

The snoring stopped, and the ** person opened his eyes, and it took a while to understand, and he sat up, looked at the sharp blade that reached his chest, was terrified, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You ......"

Lin Xiaoshan leaned forward, "Remember me, right?"

"Shopkeeper Xiaolin?" the man exclaimed, "Why are you here......? I haven't touched your wife, I haven't forced her, she, she's committed suicide. ”

"I know. Lin Xiaoshan said, his left hand was forceful, and the narrow knife stabbed into the opponent's chest, which was his revenge.

Chen Jinke witnessed this scene, his heart almost jumped out of his mouth, he didn't know the ** person, but he could guess that this was the prince of Xiao Wang, nominally one of his masters.

But he didn't understand, how could the prince of King Xiao live in such a simple room, and the guards were so lax, the news of Lin Xiaoshan's robbery must have reached the capital, and King Xiao had no reason not to be vigilant.

There are too many things that are incomprehensible, Lin Xiaoshan doesn't care at all, he hates the prince of Xiao to the core, and finally takes revenge with his own hands.

The two exited the room, and Chen Jinke blamed himself deeply, he was the family member of King Xiao's mansion, and he was supposed to protect the prince, but he didn't do anything.

Five black-clad killers stood in the courtyard, their straight bodies showing something akin to respect.

Chen Jinke was flustered, but he still noticed a strange thing, when he entered the hospital, he obviously saw two corpses, but now he has become three.

Under the faint moonlight, Chen Jinke saw that the extra corpse was dressed differently, especially the hat on his head, which he had never seen before.

"Who is this?" he asked softly, feeling his voice change.

"People who don't matter. Zhang Shouxuan replied and took the lead to leave.

Instead of returning to their original lodgings, the seven men rounded around the corner to the water's edge, boarded a small boat that had been prepared, and rowed to the opposite shore.

When the sky was slightly bright, the group abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and Chen Jinke suddenly realized that this was not outside the city, but inside the city, and there was only one place that could have such a large body of water and a vast garden.

"The Royal Palace. Chen Jinke's thoughts blurted out, "We just killed someone in the palace?"

Zhang Shouxuan turned his head and said lightly: "The Dragon King is omnipotent. ”

Chen Jinke's body froze, and the inexplicable extra corpse dangled in front of his eyes, and he knew that it was by no means an ordinary person. (To be continued.) )
