Lady, let me explain.

Chapter 95 Female Assassin

Seeing that things were not going well, Wei Xiaobao sneaked away and tiptoed towards the stairwell.

Suddenly a voice came from behind: "Did I say you could leave?"

Wei Xiaobao turned around with an awkward laugh, his eyes already tightly closed.

"This handsome young man is not only dashing and has a dignified appearance, but his martial arts skills are also unmatched in the world... Xiao Bao's admiration for you is like a surging river, never-ending; and like the Yellow River overflowing its banks, unstoppable!"

Mu Wanqing scoffed, "How could the Tartar emperor send such a cowardly and treacherous man as an envoy to the Song Dynasty?"

Lin Yi laughed and said, "Flattery is an art in itself."

Wan Yulou bowed and said, "So it is Sect Leader Lin of the Huashan Sect. I have offended you greatly... Sect Leader Lin, this Lord Wei is an envoy of the Qing Dynasty. If the Song and Qing Dynasties are on good terms, it would be a great deed that would save millions of people from the ravages of war. I beg Sect Leader Lin to show mercy."

"Are you threatening me?"

"Don't dare."

Lin Yi looked at Wei Xiaobao with a playful expression: "Everyone says that Lord Wei is a favorite of Emperor Kangxi, and is very generous and righteous. I wonder how much silver you think your life is worth?"

Wei Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief. He was working for the Qing Dynasty, and many heroes in the Central Plains wanted him dead. He thought Lin Yi had come specifically to kill him.

What does money matter if it means saving my life?
Wei Xiaobao pulled out a silver note and said with a big smile, "Fifty thousand taels, please have some tea with the dashing Master Lin and his two wives."

Wang Yuyan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Lin Yi laughed and said, "Do you think I'm the leader of the Beggars' Sect?"

"Hahaha... Sect Leader Lin is really joking!" Wei Xiaobao laughed awkwardly, then painfully pulled out a stack of silver notes.

"After we finish the tea, we should buy some jewelry and rouge for the two Madam Lins... This is 150,000 taels."

Lin Yi smiled.

Wei Xiaobao is an envoy of the Qing Dynasty. Killing him would not appease either the Song or Qing countries. The peace talks between the Song and Qing have nothing to do with Lin Yi, so he is too lazy to cause trouble for no reason.

However, extorting some money from them is also something they can do easily.

"get out."

Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed and turned to leave.

The servants from the Eastern Depot also slunk downstairs.

Mu Wanqing stared at the stack of silver notes on the table, somewhat surprised: "Someone actually carries so much silver with them..."

Lin Yi said, "Money makes the world go round. He's not good at martial arts, so silver is his best defense."

Wang Yuyan laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, you, a dignified sect leader, are extorting others. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed if word gets out?"

Lin Yi shook his head: "His money was originally embezzled. I'm just robbing the rich to help the poor... Wan'er, you should put the silver notes away."

Mu Wanqing happily agreed. She didn't care much for money, but she was still very happy to be able to manage Lin Yi's finances.

Lin Yi then said, "Now that there's no one around, you two should go over your bets, right? Wan'er, you go first, let me give you a kiss."

Snapped!
Mu Wanqing slammed her hand on the table and shouted angrily, "Don't even think about making a move on Yu Yan!"

Wang Yuyan blushed: "Brother-in-law, you have a sister now, how can you still think about me... Besides, my heart already belongs to someone else, so don't even think about it!"

Lin Yi snorted, "What's so great about Murong Fu? In what way can he compare to me?"

Exposed, Wang Yuyan became even more embarrassed. She said weakly, "Brother-in-law's martial arts skills are indeed better than my cousin's..."

Lin Yi interrupted, "There are people who are more handsome and younger than him. In terms of fame and status in the martial arts world, aren't they better than him in every way?"

Mu Wanqing retorted angrily, "But Young Master Murong has one thing that you don't! He's not a womanizer; he's a devoted and good man."

Hearing her sister speak up for her, Wang Yuyan smiled happily and repeatedly agreed, "Yes!"

Lin Yi nodded in agreement: "That's so true... Murong Fu is too devoted. He's only focused on restoring his kingdom. His cousins ​​and other female relatives are just irrelevant."

Wang Yuyan's face stiffened, and she could no longer smile.

Lin Yi continued to rub salt in the wound: "You've been kidnapped for almost a month now, haven't you? Why hasn't your beloved cousin come to rescue you yet?"

Lin Yi shook his head and sighed, "If it were Duan Yu, he would definitely pester us all the way—by the way, this is your own brother, and your own brother is more reliable than your cousin."

Wang Yuyan could no longer hold back and burst into tears...

……

night.

Lin Yi gripped Mu Wanqing's slender waist with both hands, his thumbs pressing down on her two dimples. "Raise your head higher."

……

"Wanmei, we're going to change the sheets again soon. From now on, I'll call you Shuimei."

"You're not allowed to tell!"

Mu Wanqing tried to hit him back, but her small hand was grabbed.

Lin Yi reached out with his other hand and grabbed the snow.

……

……

Just as they were enjoying themselves, Lin Yi suddenly frowned, and the next moment, a sound came from the roof.

Lin Yi was all too familiar with this commotion; someone was leaping across the rooftops and walls... Then, a soft thud was heard in the courtyard, as if something had gently fallen.

"Ah! Someone's here!" Mu Wanqing exclaimed.

"I'll go out and take a look. You lie down and relax."

Lin Yi finished speaking.

boo.

He casually threw on a coat, opened the door, and saw a man in black lying in the courtyard.

The person in black was lying on their side in the courtyard. They were slender with loose black hair, a tiny waist that could be encircled with one hand, and a large bottom... It was a woman.

Lin Yi became suspicious. Hearing her very weak breathing, he knew that she had suffered serious internal injuries.

"He was running when he got seriously injured and passed out, and just happened to land in my yard. What a coincidence!"

Lin Yi heard Mu Wanqing's voice behind him and responded before entering the courtyard.

A night breeze blew by, and the faint sounds of shouting and fighting drifted from afar.

Lin Yi calmed himself and focused his inner energy to listen carefully.

"Catch the assassin..."

"Quick, over there..."

He looked at the man in black standing half a zhang in front of him. "An assassin? Could he be there to assassinate Wei Xiaobao?"

Lin Yi was on high alert. He stepped forward and saw that the female assassin's hairpin had been knocked off, her thick, black hair was covered, and only her delicate, smooth forehead was visible.

Her eyes were tightly closed, her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed to be in great pain even in her unconscious state, with long, curved eyelashes.

"She's a beauty, what a pity... with Mu Wanqing around."

Lin Yi directly ripped off the veil covering her face... For a moment, even the bright moon in the sky seemed to disappear into the clouds.

"Xia Qingqing!"

Lin Yi thought about it carefully and wasn't surprised.

The Golden Snake Camp is currently locked in a fierce battle with the Qing Dynasty. It is estimated that for the Golden Snake Camp at this moment, killing Wei Xiaobao and disrupting the Song-Qing alliance are the top priorities.

"Xia Qingqing couldn't have come to assassinate Wei Xiaobao alone. It seems Yuan Chengzhi has also arrived in Jiangcheng."

Lin Yi shook his head, picked Xia Qingqing up in his arms, and turned to go back into the house.

...It smells so good, and the body feels so soft.

With someone being admitted to the hospital, Mu Wanqing was obviously not still lying down. She was already dressed and stunned when she saw Lin Yi carrying in a woman in black.

"who is she?"

Under the dim light of the oil lamp, Xia Qingqing's delicate face suddenly changed expression.

"Stop being jealous. This is Xia Qingqing—Yuan Chengzhi's sweetheart from the Golden Snake Camp. It looks like she's going to assassinate Wei Xiaobao."

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing's expression softened somewhat: "Then why are you still holding her?"

Just then, a sleazy voice rang out from outside the courtyard.

"The assassin just fled this way, search him!"
