Chapter 269 Injured
In a thatched wooden house in a mountainous area over 2,000 miles away from the capital, a man was sleeping unsteadily on the bed. The wound on his back hurt so much that he was waking up and falling asleep, his brows tightly furrowed.
Suddenly, there was a sound of a door opening. The man seemed to be awakened and opened his eyes with difficulty to look towards the door.
"Oh, you're still alive!" The visitor said with a smile, "Since you're still alive, come and have your meal!"
As the man spoke, he placed the food box in his hand on the only wooden table in the cabin, then sat down at the table and asked with a smile, "How are you, can you get up? Do you want me to help you?"
"No need!" The man lying on the bed whispered, then he struggled to support himself with his arms and climbed up from the bed. The wound on his back was pulled, and he frowned in pain.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you've got quite the tenacious vitality!" The visitor shook his head and sighed, "Why bother with all this trouble when you can just go and get that thing back?"
"I said, I didn't find it!" The man slowly walked to the wooden table, held the table and slowly sat down.
"Ha!" The man sneered, "I don't believe you!"
"Believe it or not!"
The injured man was Zheng Xun, who had left without saying goodbye. Zheng Xun opened the lunch box, took out the food inside, and ignored the man who brought him the food. He started eating by himself.
The visitor smiled when he saw this, but said nothing. After Zheng Xun finished eating, he asked, "How does it feel to lie in bed for five months?"
"Are you curious?" Zheng Xun glanced at the visitor and said, "If you're interested, you can try it yourself."
"Forget it, I respectfully decline!" The visitor sneered, "I wonder if you're truly itching to take such a heavy punishment rather than retrieve it."
"I said, the thing is lost. I don't know where it is and I haven't found it!" Zheng Xun said impatiently.
After saying that, Zheng Xun looked at the newcomer and said, "Xue Ren, don't you think you're meddling too much?"
"Too wide?" Xue Ren sneered, "Ghost Face, if I hadn't helped you stop it, do you think your woman would still be living in peace?"
Zheng Xun was silent for a moment: "Thank you for this!"
"Heh, weren't you being stubborn before? Why are you saying thank you to me now?" Xue Ren squinted at Zheng Xun with a playful look on his face: "Why, you admit it?"
"Admit what?" Zheng Xun said calmly, "I just thank you for not hurting any innocent people!"
"Ghost Face!" Xue Ren couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Are you afraid of hurting innocent people? Are you playing a big joke on me? Don't act so pretentious. We grew up together, how could I not know you?"
Zheng Xun glared at Xue Ren coldly without saying anything.
"There's no point in glaring at me!" Blood Blade sneered, "Ghost Face, you've changed. When have you ever been so timid?"
Zheng Xun still didn't speak!
"Humph, you're still denying it!" Xue Ren crossed his legs. "I knew that day that you had feelings for that young lady. Tell me now, are you really attracted to her?"
"Is it related to you?" Zheng Xun asked coldly.
"It has nothing to do with it, but I'm curious!" Xue Ren raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Zheng Xun didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he just said, "Tell me, besides delivering food, what else do you do today?"
"It's okay. Can't I chat with you?" Xue Ren said nonchalantly.
"Then go!" Zheng Xun said coldly, "I want to rest!"
"Tsk tsk, how heartless!" Xue Ren laughed. "Ghost Face, at least you should remember me. After all, I brought you food for five months. If I hadn't brought you food, you would have been stinking in this room, okay?"
"Didn't I thank you?"
"Tsk, stop fooling me. Don't you know why you thanked me just now?" Xue Ren snorted coldly: "I really thought you had changed. It turns out that whether you change or not depends on the person you are with!"
Zheng Xun stopped talking again!
"Boring!" Xue Ren curled his lips. "You always look so dead. No wonder the landlord punished you so severely. If you had been a little more submissive, you wouldn't have been lying in this shabby house for five months with your wounds still unhealed. Hey, how are your wounds healing?"
"You won't die!" Zheng Xun said calmly.
Blood Blade snorted coldly: "You're so tough!"
After saying that, without giving Zheng Xun time to react, he slapped him on the back.
"Ouch!" The sudden pain on his back made Zheng Xun groan. Turning his head, Zheng Xun glared at Xue Ren fiercely.
"Tsk tsk!" Xue Ren smiled and shook his head: "Your injury hasn't healed very well. Sigh, the host is really cruel!"
Zheng Xun endured the pain until it subsided, then took a deep breath and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly!"
"Okay!" Xue Ren said, "I'll leave right after I'm done. This way, you won't have to bother me!"
Zheng Xun looked at Xue Ren when he heard this. His intuition told him that Xue Ren might not bring good news.
"I got a message that you'll have a mission coming up soon!" Xue Ren raised an eyebrow and said, "And it's going to be quite difficult!"
"What?"
"Assassinate the prince!" Xue Ren looked at Zheng Xun and said word by word.
Zheng Xun's pupils shrank upon hearing this: "Assassinate the prince? Assassinate whom?"
"I don't know!" Xue Ren shook his head and said, "I just got this news. As for which prince it is, I don't know, but what I am sure of is that the host wants to give this task to you!"
Zheng Xun had a cold face and said nothing.
Blood Blade continued, "Assassinating the prince is no simple matter. I don't think the host has good intentions in handing this over to you. You'd better be careful. After all, he can't openly kill you if you lost something like that. But if you accidentally die while on a mission, that's normal, right?"
"Besides!" Xue Ren circled around Zheng Xun, tapped his back and said, "Your injury is not good. If you are asked to go on a mission and your injury is not healed yet, you will fail the mission. If the mission fails, no matter if you are killed on the spot or dealt with after you return, your life will be in jeopardy!"
"Why, are you so gloating?" Zheng Xun glanced at Xue Ren.
"I'm lucky for you, and I'm happy for you!" Xue Ren sneered, "It's just the death of the rabbit and the grief of the fox. If you behave like this today, who knows, your future might be mine!"
"Didn't you tell me that people like us have no future?"
"No!" Xue Ren smiled, "It's just that I want to tell you something."
"explain!"
"As far as I know, that young lady has told her family that she will never marry!"
"What!" Zheng Xun was startled and stood up, but he stretched the wound on his back and almost made him fall down.
Zheng Xun suddenly grabbed the wooden table and endured the pain in his back: "What did you say? Say it again!"
