The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

The assassin's figure was like a gust of breeze. After missing the first attack, he began to retreat at full speed at lightning speed.

His lightness skill seemed to have reached the pinnacle, and every step he took seemed to be walking on the wind, erratic and uncertain.

Lin Qiu'er was chasing closely behind him, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

However, despite her best efforts, the opponent's martial arts skills were better than hers, and the assassin in front was about to escape from her sight.

At this moment, a spear cut through the air and flew towards the assassin's back with incredible force.

"Buzz...hiss..."

The sound of the gun tip cutting through the air was particularly harsh.

However, the assassin seemed to have eyes on his back, and he cleverly dodged the fatal blow with a forward roll. He stomped his feet on the ground, and with the help of the rebound force, he flew away again at a faster speed.

"Ah~ I'm so pissed! He actually let him get away."

Lin Qiuer stamped her feet in anger, irritated that she hadn't caught the assassins. She also found it incredible that these assassins were so good at escaping.

Gu Anqing was one step behind Lin Qiuer. When he caught up with her, he saw the speed at which the assassin escaped, so he was not surprised.

He consoled her, "Miss Qiu'er, don't be angry. These assassins have very advanced light-body skills, several levels higher than the assassins we encountered in Lingao County before. They are as slippery as loaches, and if they miss an assassination strike, they will immediately choose to escape."

Chang Qing also nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Miss Lin, it is obvious at first glance that these are not ordinary assassins, but high-level assassins."

"There are different levels for assassins?" Lin Qiu'er widened her eyes in shock. She didn't expect that this profession actually had ratings.

Gu Anqing saw that Lin Qiuer was not as angry as before after hearing about the assassin's level. He was very satisfied with Chang Qing's mention of the assassin's level and continued to explain to her, "Of course assassins have levels. Not only that, many industries, such as craftsmen, doctors, teachers and even military commanders of various countries, have rankings or levels."

"Who has so much free time to rank people when they have nothing to do? Also, is the ranking credible? Aren't there people who don't deserve the title who get on the list?" Lin Nanyue couldn't understand what purpose people who did such a thing had in mind.

Lin Qiu'er's eyes turned, and she quickly figured out the benefits of having a ranking, so she said, "Since everyone in the martial arts world recognizes it, it proves that the people who do this are not idle. With this ranking, for example, the assassins just now, as their levels increase, the money they receive for assassinating people must be much higher, right?"

"That's right, Miss Lin is really smart." Chang Qing praised with a smile, his tone full of sincerity.

Lin Nanye had just picked up the shot spear and heard Chang Qing's praise when he walked over to the group. He raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly, "The assassin has run away, and you still praise Qiu'er for being smart, right..."

As he said this, he pointed to his head, and the meaning was obvious - are you sick?

Chang Qing was not angry at being implied, but patiently explained, "We are discussing the level of assassins. Although Miss Lin has never heard of the ranking of various industries before, she grasped the key to the problem at once. Isn't this smart?"

Gu Anqing smiled and stretched out his hand, motioning everyone to return to the official road. Even if Lin Qiuer and others were very interested in the ranking of the martial arts world, this was not a place suitable for in-depth conversation.

Lin Qiuer obediently followed Gu Anqing and walked in front, while Changqing repeated the previous topic to Lin Nanye.

After hearing this, Lin Nanye also became interested in this ranking in the martial arts world. He felt that the person who could come up with this ranking must have a wife and children at home, and of course a lot of money, otherwise he would not be so idle.

Lin Nanyue was curious because Lin Qiuer mentioned that hiring a high-level assassin would cost more money, so she pestered Changqing to tell her more.

Lin Qiuer had just left Lingao County when she learned that there was such a thing as ranking in the world. She was very interested.

So he continued to ask Gu Anqing, "Mr. Gu, where can I buy this kind of ranking information?"

"Miss Qiu'er is really smart." Gu Anqing praised sincerely.

He didn't expect Lin Qiu'er to be able to guess that this information could be bought. He explained: "This information can be bought in Tiange. Tiange is a place that specializes in buying and selling information. People in the underworld call it Bao Gossip."

Lin Qiu'er raised her eyebrows, obviously curious about this place where information is bought and sold. She confirmed, "Buying and selling information? Doesn't the government care about it?"

Gu Anqing shook his head and watched the two of them walk back to the official road, while Shen Xiangming and several people from the Censorate, except for those who were standing there, had not returned yet.

He continued, "Miss Qiu'er probably doesn't know that sometimes even the government buys information from Tiange. Don't you think so, Lord Shen?"

Lin Qiuer looked at Shen Xiangming with great interest. She really didn't expect that the buying and selling of information about Typhoon Hato was not banned by the government, and instead the government would buy information from them.

Although Shen Xiangming didn't know the whole story, he still nodded and said, "It's not just Nanyue. The other three countries also bought information from Tiange. But they have a rule that they won't sell anything."

When he said this, it was obvious from his tone that he approved of Tiange's rules.

"Which two are you not buying?" Lin Qiu'er's curiosity was completely aroused. She couldn't help but ask, staring at Shen Xiangming with her bright eyes, waiting for his answer.

Shen Xiangming smiled slightly, and without keeping anyone in suspense, he revealed the answer directly, "First, we will not sell news about the royal families of various countries, and second, we will not sell news involving family feuds."

After hearing this explanation, Lin Qiuer's heart was instantly enlightened. She felt even more that the person who established the Tiange organization was far-sighted.

"Don't sell the news about the royal family, so that they won't be wary of you and avoid the possible disaster." She murmured to herself, pondering the deep meaning of this decision.

Gu Anqing nodded in agreement, "Miss Qiu'er's idea is very reasonable, it is indeed so." His eyes were full of admiration for Lin Qiu'er.

Lin Qiuer thought about it again and tentatively put forward another guess, "Not selling information about the customer's grudges can prevent the customer from venting his anger on Tian Ge when he is desperate, thus reducing the loss." She frowned slightly and thought seriously.

Shen Xiangming nodded in agreement, but he asked again, "What else?"

There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, as if he was expecting a more in-depth analysis.

"Anything else? What else is there besides this?" Lin Nanyue couldn't think of any other reason besides this one.

Gu Anqing also showed a puzzled look, and even Lin Nanye, who was not far away, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that the three of them were lost in thought, Shen Xiangming's smile became even more intense.

Lin Qiu'er supported her elbow with one hand and placed the other hand behind her ear, frowning in thought.

After a long while, she hesitated and said, "Could it be... leaving a glimmer of hope for others?"

"That's right!"

Shen Xiangming's eyes flashed with admiration, "Miss Lin's brain works much faster than these people. She is indeed a suitable person for our Procuratorate."

The mute and the monkey next to them did not expect that Lin Qiuer, a little girl who grew up in the mountains and had little experience, could actually see through such a mystery.

"My little sister, of course she's smart!" Lin Nanyue took over the conversation with a proud look on her face, accepting all the compliments for Lin Qiuer.

His face was filled with pride, as if saying, "Look, this is my sister!".

Gu Anqing also nodded in agreement, "Miss Qiu'er is indeed very smart. I am not as good as her in many aspects."

Lin Qiu'er glanced at Shen Xiangming, as if she could see through his heart. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and with a hint of joking, she exposed his intentions, "Don't think that if you keep praising me, I will get excited and agree to let you join the Censorate."

Shen Xiangming was seen through, but he was not angry. Instead, he laughed and said calmly, "What does it matter? I praised because I think Miss Lin is really smart."

Lin Nanyue observed silently from the side. The last time she almost let the cat out of the bag and got beaten was still fresh in her mind, and the pain in her body was still clear.

Therefore, he felt extremely disgusted with Shen Xiangming's behavior of always thinking about dragging his younger sister to the Censorate.

Compared to Lin Nanyue's directness, Lin Nanye seemed much more gentle. He directly inserted the spear into the official road.

This action made Shen Xiangming's eyes light up again, and he secretly wondered: Is this natural supernatural power or amazing internal strength?
