All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

"What's the matter?"

Xie Lin looked easy-going.

That was only when it came to the summer cicadas.

Xie Lin was indifferent towards the secret guards and intelligence personnel under him.

He doesn't like his subordinates asking about his affairs.

Even if this is a small leader in the Intelligence Department, it won’t work.

In ancient times, class distinctions were very strict.

Xie Lin is a serious ancient man who grew up in such an environment. Naturally, he will not be easy-going and approachable to everyone.

Guang Xiu heard the displeasure in Xie Lin's tone. She lowered her head and said softly, "Lord Xiahou is Madam's biological father. If Madam knew why Lord Xiahou was beheaded, would you blame Third Master?"

"Chanchan is not such an unreasonable person."

Xie Lin rarely said more than one word.

After he finished speaking, he added: "Guangxiu, I don't want people to talk about it or speculate about Madam."

Even if they are his subordinates, that won't work.

"My subordinate realizes his mistake."

Guangxiu took two steps back and immediately knelt down.

"I know I was wrong, please punish me, Master."

"It won't happen again."

Xie Lin glanced at Guangxiu indifferently, turned around and went into the house, closing the door behind him.

After the footsteps outside faded away, Xia Chan came out from the back room.

She walked towards Xie Lin and said with a smile: "Why do I feel like she is trying to put some eye drops on you?"

She heard what Guangxiu just said.

I feel a little tea for some reason.

Looking at the man in front of her, tall, handsome, and with an outstanding temperament, she understood.

That Guangxiu must have fallen in love with her man.

She thought she was not around, so she secretly put some pressure on her husband!

Fortunately, Xie Lin's reaction satisfied her.

Xie Lin chuckled and held her hand: "Only Chanchan can apply eye drops to me."

"Tsk...you're so smooth-talking."

"Chanchan, do you want to try it? See if its mouth is oily enough and its tongue is slippery enough?"

Xie Lin moved closer and closer, and the two of them, who were originally some distance apart, soon began to kiss each other.

As they kissed, he picked up the limp person and went into the bedroom.

The bed curtains fell, and soon low panting sounds were heard in the room.

In the Wanhua Tower, across the courtyard, there was singing and dancing, and the music never stopped.

Guangxiu stood upstairs, looking at the men who entered the house with their arms around their sisters. The only thing that echoed in her mind was Xie Lin's handsome face.

She knew that her status was humble and she could never compare to the most beautiful woman in Chang'an.

She didn't want to ask for anything, she just wanted the Third Master to look at her more.

Even just a glance would be fine.

but……

"Sister Guangxiu."

The voices of the sisters in the building were heard behind me.

Guangxiu put away her thoughts and turned back with a smile on her face. Seeing the prince behind Luluo, she walked up to him with a smile.

"How come you have time to come here today to drink and listen to music?"

"Alas, if you don't come over, I won't be able to see you, Xiao Xiuxiu."

The one called Prince is the only son of the Duke of Guangyuan. He is a frequent visitor to Wanhua Tower and usually spends a lot of money when he comes here.

Rich and willful.

But today, he didn't come here to spend money like he did in the past, but to really say goodbye to Guangxiu.

Guangxiu took Master Gao to her room, made tea, played music, and chatted with him.

After some casual chatting, Prince Gao left, and Guangxiu got the information she wanted.

I didn't expect the princes to be so fast. They have already annexed so many cities.

At this rate, we will arrive in Chang'an soon.

Will Chang'an be destroyed and people will die by then?

What about the safety of millions of people in Chang'an City?

Guangxiu was not worried about the safety of the people in Chang'an City herself; she was worried about the people in Chang'an City from Xie Lin's perspective.

In Guangxiu's opinion, the world is in chaos.

At this time, capable people like the Third Master should stand up, raise their arms and call on people with lofty ideals to follow him and create a new dynasty...

Guangxiu is willing to be the one who always follows Xie Lin.

She even sometimes thought that Xia Chan had no other qualities that could surpass her except her beauty...

The next day was the day when all the members of the Xia and Lin families were executed.

The summer cicadas woke up early.

She didn't think of going to the vegetable market to join in the fun. Killing people and beheading people were like cutting vegetables and melons. She was not curious.

However, the person who was chopped was someone who had harmed the Xie family. It was also a kind of comfort for them to go over and see their enemy being chopped with their own eyes.

At least the enemy is dead.

Xia Chan packed up and went out with Xie Lin.

The martial law on the streets is even more severe than yesterday.

People coming and going are all carrying knives for inspection.

The tense atmosphere is self-evident.

Xia Yongyan had disheveled hair and wore a large shackle. He was locked in a prison van and was escorted to the execution ground by guards armed with knives.

Behind him, there were many prison vans.

Those imprisoned inside are people from the Lin and Xia families.

Both sides of the street were filled with people watching the fun.

They pointed at the team and talked about how they, who were the unattainable nobles just a few days ago, became prisoners today?

This is really unbelievable.

Xia Yongyan closed his eyes and didn't listen to the discussions around him.

No matter what they said, his expression never changed.

But not long after, he suddenly opened his eyes.

A pair of eyes stared at a certain point in front.

Xia Chan and Xie Lin, who were in the crowd, felt almost at the same time that Xia Yongyan had seen them.

Even if she was now disguised as an extremely ordinary person, Xia Yongyan would be able to see her and recognize her the first time.

Xie Lin also felt it.

He held Xia Chan's hand and wanted to leave.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Xia Yongyan's lips.

Seeing that they were about to leave, he was not in a hurry. He opened his mouth and said something silently.

Xie Lin's expression suddenly changed.

He stopped as he was about to leave.

Because he saw clearly what Xia Yongyan wanted to express in those silent words.

He said, "If I die, the summer cicada will not survive."

That's all I have to say.

Called Xie Lin.

Although Xie Lin didn't know what Xia Yongyan was up to, since it involved Xia Chan, Xie Lin would not take any risks.

Xia Yongyan smiled proudly.

He knew that he couldn't die.

As long as he has such a good daughter, he will never die in such a cowardly way.

Xia Chan also saw what Xia Yongyan said just now.

She held Xie Lin's hand, wanting Xie Lin not to listen to him.

"My life is in my own hands. Let's not trust him."

"Cicada..."

Xie Lin didn't want to take any risks: "Let's wait and see."

"Third brother..."

As Xia Chan opened her mouth to speak, she suddenly felt a knife-like pain in her head.

Again.

The severe headache that I had on the boat a few months ago came back again.

And this time, it is even stronger than last time.

It is no longer appropriate to describe it as cutting with a knife; hammering with a sledgehammer is more appropriate.

Her head felt like it was being hit by a sledgehammer.

My ears were ringing in pain and I couldn't see clearly.

"Cicada..."
