The eldest son Shen Yuchao's words reminded Lingzhi.
Spy? Assassin!
The reason why Xiao Qingyun insisted on staying in the Shen Mansion was because he thought the Shen Mansion was safe and suitable for recuperation.
What if... the Shen Mansion is no longer safe?
Lingzhi smiled sinisterly, revealing his pointed fangs, like a snake spitting out bright red tongue.
Xiao Qingyun, just wait, I will definitely send you off with honor!
…
…
Today, Lingzhi left the Chen Mansion on the pretext of going out to do some shopping.
After crossing eight streets and walking through nine dark alleys, she finally found Su Shisan in Anfeng Pavilion.
Su Shisan is her good friend and also the number one killer in the county.
In his hands, no one escaped dead, the survival rate was as high as 100%.
But this is not important. What is important is that it is enough to scare people.
After Lingzhi conspired with him, he returned to the Shen Mansion with satisfaction.
…
…
There is no wind and no moon tonight, the clouds are light and the stars are sparse.
The back garden of the side courtyard was silent.
In the thick and dark night, the branches of flowers are lush and there seem to be human shadows.
The Ganoderma lucidum was lying dormant in the grass, motionless, staring intently at the pavilion not far away.
In the pavilion, Xiao Qingyun was sitting at the table reading a book.
It seemed that he had just finished bathing. His black hair was as black as ink and fell softly on his shoulders, making his face look like jade, not like an ordinary person.
Lingzhi's gaze couldn't help but move downwards.
The guy was only wearing a gauze bathrobe that looked as if he was not wearing anything.
That thing can't cover anything...
Lingzhi felt so thirsty that he couldn't help but reach into his pocket to take out the warmed melon seeds, put them between his teeth and started to crack them.
Oh, I don’t know when Su Shisan will come. Her legs are numb from squatting.
The lantern hanging from the flower vine rack hung steadily in the air, and the warm yellow candlelight sprinkled down, enveloping Xiao Qingyun in a radiance of light.
He didn't even raise his head, his thick eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes.
Lingzhi was cracking melon seeds and counting his eyelashes when she suddenly heard him say, "There are a lot of mosquitoes in the bushes. Be careful not to get bitten by mosquitoes on your delicate skin."
Hmm? Who is he talking to?
Lingzhi's eyes lit up. Could it be that Su Shisan came?
Just as she stretched her neck to look, she heard another sentence: "If you squat on the grass and eat melon seeds, you might eat the flying insects together."
There was a hint of teasing in his voice.
Lingzhi bit his teeth with a crunching sound, and he didn't control the strength well, almost breaking the roots of his teeth.
It turns out that it was discovered!
Now I can’t pretend to be dead anymore.
Lingzhi's eyes flashed, and he walked out with his back straight. "Hahahaha, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight. Oh, yes, there is no moon, but the stars are also beautiful!"
"Is Master Xiao here for a walk too? What a coincidence."
Xiao Qingyun glanced at her and stretched out five slender fingers as white as scallions.
It’s really more thoughtful!
Lingzhi walked over with a smile and placed a handful of freshly cracked melon seed shells on his palm: "Excuse me."
His expression was a little complicated. He paused for a moment, threw the melon seed shells aside, and reached out to her again: "Give me the clothes."
Lingzhi turned around and saw his robe casually draped over the railing behind him, and she suddenly realized.
He quickly put on a flattering smile and handed him the clothes.
Xiao Qingyun put on his clothes and tied his belt before looking at her again.
There was a subtle and reserved inquiry in his eyes: "What are you doing here so late?"
Lingzhi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm here to protect you! You don't know, the situation in the mansion has been turbulent recently, bad things have happened one after another, and people are in a panic."
"First, the eldest son of Li Mafu fell off his horse for unknown reasons. He stayed in bed all night and died the next day."
"Then came Mrs. Lin in the kitchen. She was blown down by a strange gust of wind and fell into the well, where she died instantly."
"The last one was Xiaowu. He was just picking lotus pods in the lotus pond, but his boat capsized and he got stuck in the mud. By the time he was rescued, he was already dead."
After saying that, she stole a glance at Xiao Qingyun.
Anyway, he never leaves the side courtyard, and the people he mentioned are not in the mansion at all, so there is no way to verify whether they are true or not.
I don’t know if Xiao Qingyun was frightened or not. There was no emotion in his eyes and he looked harmless.
But Lingzhi always felt that something was wrong, as if she would be in danger of being taken away and killed on the spot in the next moment.
She swallowed, hesitating whether to add fuel to the fire of the rumor.
At this moment, a mysterious man in black climbed over the wall and entered.
Lingzhi exchanged a glance with the man in black and immediately recognized him as Su Shisan.
He was the assassin she hired to deal with Xiao Qingyun, the plague god.
Lingzhi followed the plan, kicked over the chair, and stood in front of Xiao Qingyun: "Mr. Xiao, leave this to me, you run away first! If you're too late, you'll die!"
However, Xiao Qingyun did not rush out as she expected, but stood firmly where he was and straightened his collar lightly.
Su Shisan twisted his neck to stretch his muscles, then raised his sword and slashed at Xiao Qingyun.
Xiao Qingyun deflected Su Shisan's sword with one finger, his face stern: "Where did this little thief come from?"
Su Shisan roared, "I'm not some thief, I'm a killer. Do you understand what I mean by a killer who kills people for treasure and steals their wealth?!"
Then he shook out a beautiful sword flower as if to prove something.
But the next second, Xiao Qingyun deflected the sword.
Lingzhi watched the two fighting with some fear.
I didn’t expect that Xiao Qingyun, who looks weak and unable to take care of himself, is actually very skilled.
