Chapter 49 Hunter
The next day, Lin Wen regretted it as soon as he got up.
Oh, I said I would only do it for an hour, but I didn’t expect it to last the whole night.
It’s all because it feels so good.
Good fortune came one after another, making Lin Wen unable to stop and indulge in it. He did not go back to his room to sleep until the moon was at its highest point.
It was not until he woke up that he realized that his money-making plan had not yet come to fruition.
Just as he was about to go find Feng Chu to discuss something, the door creaked open.
"Lin Dasha, are you awake?"
Fengchu Qin Luoshuang's voice came from outside the door. Judging from her shadow, she should be standing at the door, but she didn't come in.
"I'm awake." Lin Wen replied.
"Are you dressed?"
"Yes."
"Then I'm coming in. You'd better actually get dressed. The gun is in my hand."
Lin Wen sneered, "Don't dream, you don't have that blessing."
The shadow outside the door clenched his fists instantly.
"very good!"
She walked in, holding a gun in one hand and pointing it at Lin Wen's head.
"I'm going to put on an act now. I'm the assassin sent by Yu Zhongxian, and I'm here to take your life today."
Lin Wen put on his shoes and pointed to a stool not far away.
"sit."
Although [Swiftness of the Spirit Cat] has disappeared, [Without the Colorful Phoenix] has not reacted at all, proving that she has no intention of killing.
"Sit down."
Lin Wen looked up and saw that Qin Luoshuang had changed into a flowing ice-silk white dress today. She was standing at the door, with the sunlight slanting down, reflecting her beautiful face like a fairy on earth.
Unfortunately, what she was holding was a gun. If it was a sword, Lin Wen could instantly imagine a hundred years of grievances and hatreds.
"pity."
He shook his head.
Qin Luoshuang was almost mad with anger. She really wanted to shoot this idiot to death, but when she thought about how he dodged the gunshots like a ghost yesterday, she was afraid that shooting him would only bring shame upon herself.
I could only sit down angrily, not wanting to say a single word of what I had been thinking about all night.
Lin Wen was not really a fool. He realized that he seemed to have offended Feng Chu too much. Wouldn't it be terrible if Feng Chu followed Xu Shu's example and was in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han?
After thinking about it, I opened my seven-orifice exquisite heart and heard it say:
"Three years ago, I came to the Imperial Capital of Shenjing for a pilgrimage. As I crossed the Luo River, I gazed out over the vast expanse of water, shimmering with clouds. My mind wandered, my thoughts drifting. Suddenly, I looked up and spotted a three-story ship passing by. Atop this ship stood a stunning woman, sword in hand. She was dressed in white, radiant with an air of immortality."
Qin Luoshuang felt a little strange. What was he trying to say? This was too far-fetched, and why was his tone so different from this idiot's usual tone?
Looking up, she saw Lin Wen looking at her with deep affection.
"Her figure is as graceful as a startled swan, as graceful as a flying dragon. She shines like the glorious autumn chrysanthemums and the luxuriant spring pines. She is like a light cloud obscuring the moon, and as fleeting as snowflakes blown by a wind. From afar, she is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow; from close up, she is as dazzling as a lotus emerging from the emerald waters..."
The entire following string is "The Goddess of Luo River", and it has been specially modified to adapt to the current situation and the grammar of this world.
For example, the Goddess of Luo River was turned into this fictitious girl in white clothes and holding a sword.
Change all the place names to those in this world.
Change the borrowed narration into direct narration.
And added a sentence at the end.
"Now that I see you coming, I'm surprised to realize that the fairy in my dream three years ago was actually you."
After Qiqiao Linglongxin finished his words, the girl in front of him was not moved at all. Instead, she tensed her body, lowered her right hand, held the gun, and spoke with a vigilant look.
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Wen scratched the back of his head, feeling that the Seven-Aperture Heart didn't seem to have any effect. However, this wasn't surprising, as some people were indeed immune to it.
So Lin Wen shut down his Seven Apertures Heart and made up an excuse: "Do you think I could use this article to woo the Imperial Princess or something like that? Will it work?"
Qin Luoshuang sneered: "Little Princess, you won't be able to see it. The First Princess will chop you to pieces."
"Why? Is my writing not good enough?"
Qin Luoshuang sneered and said, "No reason, I just cut it off because I said so."
Lin Wen didn't care and said casually: "I said that if I could impress the First Princess, she would help me kill Yu Zhongxian. It seems that it won't work."
Qin Luoshuang looked at him carefully, as if trying to discern the truth from his words, and then said coldly, "It really won't work. How can a mere First Princess be worthy of the incomparably noble Lord Lin?"
Lin Wen nodded: "That's right."
Qin Luoshuang's eyes were rolling up into outer space, but Lin Wen didn't care. Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, he said, "Please help me find a large sum of money as soon as possible, enough to cover all the current expenses and complete the reconstruction of our home. Ideally, two billion, no, more than one billion."
Qin Luoshuang covered her eyes and slumped on the stool, not looking like a lady at all.
She only said four words.
"Please ask someone else."
It doesn't seem right.
Is this a question for [Xianrenzhilu]?
Lin Wen slapped his forehead.
Oh, it has become a habit without me realizing it.
He raised this question again to [Xianrenzhilu].
Consumption: 39133 points of good karma.
It’s a pity, if Feng Chu could answer it, wouldn’t he have directly earned 39,133 points of good karma?
However, this is obviously wishful thinking.
Lin Wen could only turn around and ask, "Then do you have any way to make a lot of money quickly?"
Qin Luoshuang sneered and said, "Yes, just sell me out."
As soon as she said it, she regretted it, because her father would really pay a lot of money, and if the county governor changed his mind on the spot, she would have nowhere to run.
Just when he was worried and didn't know what to do, he heard Lin Wen reply: "Isn't this killing the chicken to get the eggs? And it's also evil. No, you need to try another method."
Qin Luoshuang breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
"Chief Lin, the county's lack of funds is mainly due to the interruption of aid. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so difficult."
"I thought about it for a long time yesterday. With your current level, it's wishful thinking to think you can counter Yu Zhongxian."
"However, Yu Zhongxian's main target should be Sheng Huaixuan. He's only targeting you incidentally. Your best bet is to hide behind Sheng Huaixuan and increase your own resistance to attack."
"Yeah." Lin Wen nodded: "Just be a turtle."
"You're right to understand it this way. Yu Zhongxian is like a hunter. He's throwing stones at you, and you can't fight back. But if he tries to grab you with his hands, you can bite him."
"So you have to lure him into attacking. If you bite him and hurt him, he will retreat temporarily."
Lin Wen asked, "Why doesn't he go crazy?"
Qin Luoshuang said, "No, generally speaking, because you are not the main target, unless you anger him and make your hatred exceed Sheng Huaixuan's. Of course, this is impossible."
"The main reason he's attacking you now is to attack Governor Sheng. If you bite him hard, he'll know you're not someone to be trifled with and won't attack you again."
"Also, hunters will fight amongst themselves, and the relationship between hunter and prey will sometimes reverse. He can't get too injured or become too weak. Otherwise, he'll be surrounded by hungry wolves and eventually eaten."
Lin Wen nodded: "Okay, I understand. What should I do then?"
Qin Luoshuang sighed: "You need to collect intelligence, you need to provide me with information. Right now, I am completely in the dark and don't know anything. I have to rely on guessing. I can't even be sure if it is Yu Zhongxian."
"Okay!" Lin Wen slapped his thigh, "I'll leave this matter to you."
Qin Luoshuang sighed slightly. She didn't know how many times she had sighed since she joined this guy.
"Okay, you will hand over the command of your guards and spies to me."
"I don't."
"Ah?" Qin Luoshuang was a little confused. "You only need to give me the second or third command authority, or if you are worried, all orders can come from you."
"I didn't build a guard."
Qin Luoshuang looked at him doubtfully, but Lin Wen laughed heartily: "A true man stands alone between heaven and earth, proudly walking in the universe. Why would he need protection from others?"
"As for the cowardly underworld business of spies, it's completely inconsistent with my upright and righteous path. Of course, I have no use for them."
Qin Luoshuang almost fainted and said angrily, "Then how can I get the information? Should I go by myself? Do you want me to sell my body?"
"Well, that's what you said. If you want to sell it, go ahead and do it yourself. I didn't mean that. Don't blame me."
"You are shameless!" Qin Luoshuang was so angry that her lungs exploded, and she slapped him.
There was a crisp sound.
Hit the target directly.
As her anger subsided, Qin Luoshuang took two steps back, looking at her slender hand and the clear slap mark on Lin Wen's face in disbelief.
Lin Wen was not angry. He realized the inappropriateness of his words. At that time, he was only concerned about distancing himself from the matter, fearing that he would be tainted with bad karma. He did not notice that his words were extremely excessive to a girl.
He coughed and said.
"Okay, I was wrong. What I meant was that I saw that you have strong survival skills in the wild, are very good at martial arts, and have excellent marksmanship. You are on par with Bear Grylls, so you can go out and gather information safely. But that's not what I meant. You can recruit or organize some people yourself, but I don't have much money."
Qin Luoshuang felt both regretful and touched. Top martial artists have very strong self-esteem. Being slapped in the face by another unfamiliar martial artist is a taboo, and some people would even go to the arena of life and death for this. However, he was willing to take a slap from her and apologize, which was extremely rare and precious.
What she regretted was that she was indeed too impulsive. If this rare top-level county chief had a little bit more self-esteem, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Qin Luoshuang didn't understand either. She used to be extremely patient, but she didn't know why she became irritable and prone to mental deterioration here. Could it be that the huge changes and blows weakened her determination?
Just as the two of them were lost in thought and there was an awkward silence, Bai Xiu Yu came in from outside.
"Chief Lin, breakfast is here."
