After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

In the middle of the night, an old man muttered quietly, "You are lucky to have met me, otherwise you would be useless."

"Come on, raise your arms up, yes, that's it."

The triumphant voice of the old man Zhixing was heard in the room.

"Hey, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. I was too impulsive and reckless."

As Zhixing spoke, he hit Yingge's left shoulder without giving up. Yingge shrank her shoulders and dodged to the side.

"Okay, okay, I believe your medicine is very good."

"Raise your hands."

"I raised my hand, didn't you see it?"

"If I lift it, it means I believe you."

"You are just a coward, afraid of pain."

"If you were afraid of the pain, you should have told me earlier."

After a lot of noise, Yingge took another pill from Zhixing.

"I want to go back to study at the end of the month."

"Why are you in such a hurry? There's no hurry. Just recover and go back."

"You mean to say that if you fail the county exam next year, it will have nothing to do with you, right?"

"Am I that kind of person? I'm not."

"I'm just asking you, which is more important, the face or the body?"

“Well, I think they’re all important.”

"When you were injured, your energy wasn't as good as before. Don't blame me after you learn it well."

"I'm telling you, my injury is my arm, not my brain. Why should I worry?"

"If it's still not good, I'll find you."

"Humph, you are so cruel."

Yingge was talking and laughing with Zhixing. After a pause, she listened to Mrs. Xue's sleep at night. She was sleeping very soundly and the talking in the room did not disturb her at all.

"Sir, how did you do it? What kind of drug did you use? It's so magical. Why don't you give me some? This is simply a great treasure for killing people and robbing people."

"What kind of drugs are you taking? How could I do such a low-level thing? You can even hurt yourself by learning how to use a gun. How can you still endure it?"

"That's because you didn't teach me well, otherwise how could I be hurt?"

"Humph, what kind of assassin is so capable that he can even hurt you? Come, come, let's fight. I want to see how you got hurt."

"What's the point of gesturing? I don't have any moves. It's dark here and I have to protect Jun and the young master. How can I have the time to kill people?"

I remember that martial arts novels all say this, that you can tell a person's sect by looking at his or her moves. She could indeed show Zhixing a few moves, but they were only relatively simple ones. She wouldn't be able to do anything more profound. Masters are all the same, and what if they all knew each other? Wouldn't her moves reveal a flaw? She wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Zhixing is an old fox and has asked this question several times.

"Just make excuses. What about protecting Jun and Master? You didn't learn the skills well, but you blame others?"

"It's really embarrassing."

"Sir, this is the first time in my life."

"What? You really accepted the nickname given to you by others. What do you think this is? Is it like the game you played before? This is a matter of life and death. There won't be a next time for such a thing. You'll be lucky if you can save your life this time."

“So, I said this is God’s blessing.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhixing disappeared into the night.

"Huh, how rude! I haven't even finished what I was saying."

After walking quite far, Zhixing seemed to still hear Yingge's voice. Zhixing rubbed his ears. "Hey, it's already like this, but she still won't stop. I don't know whose temper she resembles. Her father isn't that arrogant and nagging."

The city of Mocheng was completely dark, with many houses and alleys. Zhixing moved silently through the city. After waiting for a while, he stopped at a small, dark place, leaned over, grabbed a person, and pulled him out of the poultry cage with a loud noise.

The man was tall, but hunched over, and seemed to be frightened by being caught, making a whining sound. But he could not break free no matter how hard he struggled.

"Tell me, who are you guys?"

"We are, we are hired by Zhong Shilan, we get paid to do the job... wuwuwu... a grown man assassin was caught, but he made a wuwu sound."

Zhixing sneered disdainfully, "You guys are hired to kill people. You are so capable and yet you are paid nothing. What can you accomplish? Even if all of you come, you may not be able to get close to him."

"That's true, but we did kill him. Our eldest brother died together..."

“That’s really where the problem lies.”

"Come on, tell me, what's your eldest brother's name?"

The man said, "Our eldest brother remains true to his name, and his martial arts are outstanding. He is the best in the world..." Before he could finish his words, Zhixing slapped him on the head.

"speak English."

The man said, "Three, four, five."

After hearing this, Zhixing patted his head again and said, "What are you talking about? What numbers?"

The man said aggrievedly, "I said, my eldest brother's name is Three, Four, Five."

"Bah, what kind of a name is that? This guy has never been heard of in the martial arts world." She threw the man to the ground and said, "Tell me, can you get out by yourself?"

The man endured the pain and said, "Yes, yes, I can do it."

"Hey, thank you grandpa, thank you grandpa for healing my injury..."

"I don't know your name, Grandpa. I'll repay you when I meet you in the future."

Mr. Zhixing said, "God..." and then he shook his sleeves and disappeared into the night.

The man was still lying on the ground without any reaction. He just said blankly, "Gods? There really are gods in this world..."

The night wind was blowing hard, and a lamp on the city wall was shaking. The next moment, the light went out, and a corner flashed on the lamp.

Zhixing stood on the city wall, looking at the dark night and fell into deep thought. "Could it be that these uneducated people really killed Lu Gongqing? Did Lu Gongqing capsize in the ditch? Oh, if I had known that he would be so miserable, I would not have avoided him. Haha, dying at the hands of such an unknown young man, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would jump up again."

Then he laughed loudly, waved his sleeves and flew out like a roc spreading its wings.

The sound alarmed the soldiers guarding the city, and a few scattered torches came to check. "Hey, you said this laughter is too creepy, could it be a night owl?"

"Nothing good ever comes of a night owl laughing."

"You don't need to tell me. Lord Lu died here. The court has sent people from the Imperial Household Department to come. They should be here by now."

"It's bound to be troublesome when I come."

"Yes, that's right."

The people of Mo City had all fallen into a deep sleep, only Yi Garden around Mo City was still bustling with people. The assassination had passed, but it would always leave traces. A man and a horse kept searching on the grass. The originally exquisite Yi Garden now looked a little desolate.

A group of soldiers stood scattered by the lake, looking somewhat at a loss.

"Master Prefect."

Following this sound, the crowd automatically parted, and Liang Jingtian, wearing a cape, walked quickly, but his expression was a little annoyed. "Tell me, what's going on? Why are you inexplicably not allowed to salvage it?"

The soldiers at the moment did not dare to tell the truth, but just kept looking at the red-clothed guards in front of Zhou. These people were the guards who survived Lu Gongqing's life, and now they had the final say in Yiyuan.

"The most urgent task is to search for the assassin. The prefect does not need to worry about the affairs of Yiyuan." Although he was a guard, he was not vague at all when facing the prefect and was not worried at all.

"According to what you said, I'm not sorry, but we have to take care of the girls who fell into the water. Their families are still waiting for news. They want to see them alive or dead."

"If we don't investigate thoroughly, it will be another headache when these people start making trouble..."

The red guard shouted before he could finish his words, "What are you making a fuss about? Why did they commit suicide when the assassin came instead of jumping into the water earlier? Did they deliberately take advantage of the chaos to create an opportunity for the assassin? If they are still making a fuss, arrest them and interrogate them first." Liang Jingtian frowned and said, "Well, let's wait until Lu Gongqing's case is investigated. Then should the remaining ladies go home first, or..."

"Hmph, go home. They have already been selected by Lord Lu to enter the palace. Why would they go back home?" Liang Jingtian didn't want to argue with the guards, so he just waved his hand and said, "Go back to your team and listen to your Lord's orders."

Those present were all officials of the imperial court. After hearing what the guards said, they had no choice but to agree and leave. Liang Jingtian said to the guards in red, "We will go and catch the assassin." After that, he ignored them and strode away.
