"Do you really want me to die? Maybe God has pity on me and thinks I shouldn't die."

"Sorry to disappoint you, hahahaha."

Luo Xie burst into laughter.

"Huh, really? Don't be too proud too soon. The things the master has told you to do are not that easy to do. Otherwise, it wouldn't be your turn to do this."

"Really? I still have a chance no matter what, don't I?"

In fact, Luo Xie was also unsure in his heart, but he was not fighting for the steamed buns but for his reputation. He must not lose to others in momentum.

Luo Xie walked out alone in a daze and returned to where he lived before.

The yard was empty, cold and deserted, looking quite lonely.

Take a good rest today, because you have to do something big tomorrow, and you must not make any mistakes again, otherwise you will really lose your life this time.

Luo Xie has been scouting around the capital these past few days, just to see where the young master likes to stay the longest, so that it would be convenient for him to take action and also to escape.

After following for five days, Luo Xie still couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Luo Xie kept trying to get close to the young master in his room, but the people around the young master were protecting him tightly, so he had no chance to do anything.

Luo Xie was very distressed.

At this moment the door was suddenly pushed open.

"When are you going to take action? The master is already impatient and time is very tight. The master has said that if you don't take action, you can die. There is no meaning in living. Death is the best thing for you."

Luo Xie felt a chill in his heart and asked in fear, "Is there a time limit for this? You didn't mention it before."

The visitor looked at Luo Xie with contempt, "If you have any shamelessness, you wouldn't say that. If there is no time limit, will the task always be hanging there? Do you think you can sit back and relax and think you will never die?"

"You have a nice idea, but I think your brain was kicked by a donkey. I will give you three days at most. If you haven't finished it within three days, you can touch your neck yourself."

The visitor left immediately after saying this.

Leaving Luo Xie with a confused look on his face.

Luo Xie muttered to himself, "Three days, three days, only three days. Time is too tight, there is no chance to take action at all. Is it God's will to kill me, Luo Xie?"

No, I can't just sit there and wait for death.

Luo Xie was watching him all the time, afraid that he would miss an opportunity to take action.

On the afternoon of the third day, the young master ran away with his sister, and the servants at home kept chasing after them.

"Young Master, take the young lady with you and don't run away."

"Hurry up, hurry up, if anything happens we won't be able to save our heads."

Luo Xie was very excited when he saw the rare opportunity before him. Such a good opportunity came without any effort.

"Brother, is it okay for us to come out like this? I'm still very scared. What if there are bad guys? Every time we go out, there are people following us. Today, there is no one, so I'm not very reassured."

"Little sister, what are you afraid of? Don't forget who our father is. Our father is the great general who protects the country. If anyone dares to attack us, I will not let him off without mercy. I will kill his entire family and confiscate his home."

"Besides, we'll hide from the servants and go to a more crowded place when they're far away. There shouldn't be any problem."

"The capital is not that chaotic. Don't worry, I will protect you."

Luo Xie felt very disappointed when he heard what the two children said. If something really happened to the children of the generals who guard the country, would they be able to escape? Forget it, don't think about it anymore, you will die anyway, just do it. Then find a way to escape, and live a few more days.

Luo Xie pretended to walk past the two children.

"Hey, little brother and little sister, why are you two here? There's no one around. What if you run into bad guys? Do you want me to take you home?"

"Uncle, no need, we..."

Before the little girl could finish her words, Luo Xie took out a dagger and stabbed her.

The little girl was so terrified that she fell down without saying a word.

The little boy was so scared that he peed himself. "Uncle, please let me go. My father is a great general who protects the country. If you let me go, we will give you any amount of silver you want."

"Just based on what you said, you deserve to die even more."

After saying this, Luo Xie stabbed the little boy and ran away.

When Luo Xie heard footsteps coming from behind, he ran even faster.

"Come here quickly, the young master and the young lady are here, come quickly, call the doctor. The young master and the young lady have been assassinated. It's over, it's over, it's really all over this time."

Luo Xie ran back home in one breath.

As soon as I got home, I saw someone waiting for me at home.

"You're back. It looks like you've succeeded, right?"

"Yes, sir, I also killed a little girl."

"Asshole, I only arranged for you to kill one person, not two people."

"Sir, now is not the time to talk about this. What should I do now? He is the young master of the general's mansion. The whole city may be searched for him now."

"What are you afraid of? I'm here, right? I'll take you out, don't worry."

"Come on, follow me when you come back."

Luo Xie was just about to go back to his room to get his clothes.

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go back inside to get some clothes."

"Humph, if you are not afraid of death, then go ahead and get it. If you are delayed in leaving the city, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Maybe their people have already started a city-wide search. Humph, what a poor-sighted fellow."

Luo Xie was so frightened when he heard this that he immediately said, "Sir, I won't take it. Let's go, right now."

"Hmph, that's your truth. Once you leave the city, someone will pick you up. Here is 500 taels of silver, which is the money you need to buy the order. Take it yourself."

Luo Xie felt very uneasy when he heard this, feeling that things shouldn't be going as smoothly as they were now.

Luo Xie put the 500-tael silver note in the pocket behind his buttocks.

He quietly placed a jade pendant that Lihua had given him in the past on his chest. Although it was called a jade pendant, in fact, the material of it was very special.

"Why are you walking so slowly? Hurry up! It will be too late if you don't move."

Luo Xie had no choice but to follow immediately.

Luo Xie was sitting in the carriage, extremely nervous. He had to get out of the city quickly because there were pursuers behind him. If he was late, it would be too late.

The groom also noticed this and immediately quickened his pace.

Finally out of the city, Luo Xie breathed a sigh of relief, "It's safe now."
