Chapter 264： Night Assassination (two more)

Zhou Wencai just heard about the special hobby of the third prince Yuwen Feiye, and then heard that the third prince was in Qingfeng City, so he rushed to the General's Mansion and told Jiang Zhennan and the others that Lin Yuelan went to Qingfeng City.

Jiang Zhennan said with some doubts, "Why does Mr. Lin go to Qingfeng City with just one person?"

Zhou Wencai shook his head not very clearly and said, "I'm not very sure either, but my father mentioned in the letter that Mr. Lin used to be from Qingfeng City."

In fact, Zhou Changsheng didn't know Lin Deshan's identity very well. He only asked at Lin Kee Pharmacy, and only then did he know that Lin Deshan was originally from Qingfeng City.

Guo Bing was a little surprised by Lin Deshan's life experience, he said in surprise, "How come?"

If Lin Deshan is really from Qingfeng City, then the person he followed in a hurry must be someone he knows well, and it is very likely that something important happened to be in such a hurry.

What happened, they have no way of knowing.

Guo Bing looked at Jiang Zhennan anxiously and asked, "Brother, what should I do? I have to write a letter to remind Miss Lin."

Jiang Zhennan shook his head and said, "No need. I believe that with Miss Yue'er's ability, the third prince will never get any favors when he meets her. Have you forgotten how Miss Yue'er saved us?"

After being reminded by Jiang Zhennan, Guo Bing instantly thought of Lin Yuelan's incredible ability and ability.

Therefore, unless the third prince really wanted to kill Lin Yuelan, they really didn't need to worry about Lin Yuelan's safety, they should be more worried about Yuwen Feiye's safety.

Guo Bing prayed in his heart, this Yuwen Feiye must not provoke Lin Yuelan without thinking.

Zhou Wencai looked at their expressions at the beginning, obviously anxious, but as soon as they said, why did Sister Yuelan save them or something, their worries dissipated, and instead became, uh, that kind of schadenfreude A sense of sarcasm.

He just doesn't understand.

Are they worried about Lin Yuelan, or are they not worried about Lin Yuelan?

However, Guo Bing was still a little worried and said, "What if the third prince uses some insidious methods and makes people hard to guard against?"

Jiang Zhennan said, "In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are nothing."

"Indeed!" Guo Bing nodded.

Zhou Wencai asked dumbfounded, "Don't you really worry about Miss Yuelan's safety?"

Guo Bing shook his head and said, "Young Master Zhou, don't worry about Miss Lin's safety, we should be worried about the third prince, Yuwen Feiye!"

Zhou Wencai was stunned, "Huh?"

...

Night, pitch black.

I couldn't hear any insects and birds, and I couldn't see a trace of people on the side of the road, only the sound of the wind whizzing.

At this moment, outside the walls of the Zhou Mansion, a sudden "whoosh" sounded, and two figures floated in.

Then, in the darkness of the night, the shadows of these two people saw a person who was lighting a lamp in the dark. They jumped up and down, grabbed each other's throat with one hand, and asked smartly, "Which room is Lin Deshan in?"

"Over there!" The man pointed to a west courtyard and said.

After determining the direction, the knife swiped, and the man fell to the ground instantly, and a pool of liquid that could not see the color flowed down on the ground.

The two shadows moved towards the west courtyard, and after finding Lin Deshan's room, they broke in directly.

"when!"

In the darkness, I saw swords and swords, and I heard the sound of swords hitting the head.

After a while, the fighting stopped.

After a while, the lights in the room came on.

Looking at the two still lifeless men in white lying on the ground, Lin Xuxing curled his lips and said, "I thought the third prince's guard would be very capable, but I didn't expect that I sent two such useless things here. It collapsed in no time. Also, is there something wrong with these two people? They came to kidnap people at night, and they were wearing white clothes, which is scary."

Lin Xuming said in disapproval, "Perhaps the third prince never thought about the fact that we were secretly protecting the old master, thinking that if we sent two guards around, we could easily break through the Zhou family's line of defense and take out the old master. kidnap the Lord."

Lin Xuxing said a little arrogantly, "Hmph, I think that third son of a bullshit, even if he sends more people, he will not be our opponent."

Lin Xuming shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, let's take these two out quickly, otherwise, the old master will wake up." After speaking, he pouted and motioned Lin Xuxing to look at the sleeping man. Ripe Linde Hills.

Why did such a big movement not disturb Lin Deshan and others?

This is because Lin Deshan was stunned by Lin Xuming, and at the moment when the two people broke in, they gave Lin Deshan a sleeping hole.

As for the servants of the night watch, they were stunned by the two visitors.

The west courtyard is the guest house, the east courtyard is the main house, and the east courtyard and the west courtyard are also separated by a certain distance, so some small movements in the west courtyard cannot be heard from the east courtyard.

Lin Xuxing said with some doubts, "This week, Zhou Xing found out that the appearance of the old master will attract Dingzhuo, so why didn't he send someone to protect the old master? Besides, the old master took out the treasured thousand-year-old ginseng. ?"

Lin Xuming thought for a while and said, "Maybe those guards have gone to guard the thousand-year-old ginseng! Therefore, not many people were sent to protect the old master."

Lin Xuxing said, "But this can't put the old master's safety at risk. If it wasn't for the master to let us protect the old master, the old master may have been plotted by someone now."

Speaking of this, Lin Xuxing was a little angry.

Xingfa's actions this week are too unkind.

Lin Deshan specially came to help him, but now it's good, the baby was given, but he didn't get personal safety.

Lin Xuming waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's keep busy. The masters' affairs are clear to them."

Lin Xuxing said with an injustice in his heart, "But I'm not just the old master. No, I must report this matter to the master." You know, in the eyes of the master, the safety of the old master is more important than everything else.

East Court

The housekeeper asked Zhou Xingfa doubtfully, "Master, do you really need to send some people to protect the West Court?"

Zhou Xingfa held the sandalwood brocade box in his hand and seemed to be engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

Of course, he knew very well in his heart that as soon as Lin Deshan returned to Qingfeng City, he was targeted by many people, because there was a legend twenty years ago that the Lin family had a thousand-year-old ginseng.

Now, this Lindeshan has handed over the ginseng.

Although it was said to be handed over, it was actually handed over to him for auction. He could only get 20% of the commission, and all the remaining money had to be returned to Lin Deshan.

Last time Ziyunhua was auctioned for 150,000 taels, and his auction house directly made a net profit of 120,000 taels. This time, the thousand-year-old ginseng is a life-saving treasure that those dignitaries flock to, and it is estimated that at least 300,000 taels will be auctioned. .

With such a large amount of money, it is impossible for Zhou Xingfa not to be moved. What's more, his auction house has been losing money in a row recently, and the funds have not been able to turn around for a while. If there is some funds, and his auction house's reputation due to this thousand-year-old ginseng is restored, then his auction house will once again flourish.

But if the funds are returned to Lin Deshan, the reputation will come back, but the problem of poor capital turnover still exists.

Seeing his master hesitating, the housekeeper said, "Master, the servant heard from Ah Cai that there were originally several groups of killers who intercepted them, but before he could make a move, those killers disappeared without a trace.

My lord, those people looked at Mr. Lin at first sight. However, those killers disappeared for no reason. What does this mean? It means that there is someone behind Mr. Lin protecting him, sir! "

After listening to Zhou Xingfa, he said in surprise, "A Cai really said that?"

The housekeeper nodded and replied, "That's right! And the old man, the old man Lin, the thousand-year-old ginseng that he took out, since it is not the treasure of the Lin family, and said that it was a thousand-year-old ginseng given to him by his precious granddaughter, the old man Lin still can Take it out without hesitation and solve your current predicament for you, sir, have you ever thought about it, what does this mean?"

Hearing the butler's suggestion, Zhou Xingfa suddenly said, "This shows that Lin Deshan is definitely not easy behind, especially his granddaughter who gave him thousand-year-old ginseng at will!"

"That's right, sir!" the housekeeper continued. "You didn't see Mr. Lin's eyes glowing when he said that his granddaughter was precious. How could you hear that the granddaughter he said was a very complicated person?"

Zhou Xingfa immediately woke up and said, "Yes. It was me who was stunned!"

If Zhou Xingfa really had an accident in his house, then the granddaughter in Linde Mountain Pass would definitely not let him go so easily.

Besides, the granddaughter in Linde Mountain Pass could so easily give Linde Mountain the precious thousand-year-old ginseng that everyone yearns for, which means that it is impossible for her to take this thousand-year-old ginseng seriously. things are also uncertain.

According to Lin Deshan, four months ago, the purple cloud flower was also found by his granddaughter, and he proposed to sell it directly to him in this auction house in order to obtain temporary protection. Come on, his granddaughter must be a difficult figure.

If he provokes an enemy because of greed for a while, and his friendship with Lin Deshan for 30 to 40 years is also cut off, it would be a very wrong choice.

Zhou Xingfa immediately said, "Housekeeper, go and mobilize six guards to protect Brother Lin's safety secretly!"

"Yes, sir!" The housekeeper was also very pleased when he saw that he could figure it out.

He didn't want his master. Because of his greed, he ruined his decades-long friendship with Lin Deshan, and he might have formed an enemy because of this. No matter how he thought about it, it was very detrimental to the current Zhou family.

When Lin Xuxing and Lin Xuming returned to the roof of Linde Mountain, it was obvious that there were more people in this western courtyard. Looking at their movements, it was very likely that they had come to protect Linde Mountain.

Lin Xuxing curled his lips and said, "Hmph, it's not too bad. I thought the person the old master was going to help was really a wolf-hearted thing."

Lin Xuming said, "Go and rest, I'll be here in the middle of the night!" Although there are six guards sent by Zhou Xingfa, but without their personal supervision, he is always worried.

official post house

Yuwen Feiye and his three staff members were very excited all night, as if they had seen that rare treasure of thousand-year-old ginseng.

All of them can't sleep now. In the study, they are waiting for the two guards sent out to secretly capture Lindeshan.

However, after waiting all night, they did not see the return of the royal guard, nor did they hear anything about the Zhou family.

Staff Officer Ma said strangely, "Your Highness, something is not quite right!"

The other two aides nodded in agreement at the same time, saying, "The two guards sent by His Highness have not returned, and there is no news, but according to the reports from the people monitoring the Zhou family, everything in the Zhou family is as usual, and Lin Deshan also had breakfast with Zhou Xingfa. !"

It stands to reason that royal guards have to undergo rigorous and cruel training to become royal guards, and the guards of ordinary people can simply be compared.

But now it's better, there is no news from the two guards of the third highness, but everything is normal in the Zhou residence.

How can it be said that there is no possibility that the Zhou family guards can beat the royal guards?

The third prince Yuwen Feiye felt agitated at this moment.

He hadn't thought about it at all, the action that was foolproof suddenly appeared a big fork, and this fork, they had no clue at all.

However, just when they couldn't figure out why the royal guard would miss, Yuwen Feiye's men suddenly came to report, "Your Highness, it's not good!"

"What's the matter?" Yuwen Feiye asked while holding back his anger.

"Guangjuyuan Auction House is now spreading information, saying that in three days, it will auction the treasured thousand-year-old ginseng!" Lai Renhui reported.

When Yuwen Feiye heard this, he was immediately furious.

"Bastard!"

"Your Highness, calm down!" Everyone in the room knelt down, trembling in their hearts.

Yuwen Feiye said angrily, "Relieve your anger, relieve your anger, how can you let this palace calm down? That Zhou Xingfa was so bold that he dared to auction what Ben Gong liked directly?"

These people don't dare to speak out.

This Guangjuyuan auction house has a thousand-year-old ginseng for auction. The rumor has already spread, so they can only buy this thousand-year-old ginseng at a high price. This is different from what they did without any money. How can they not be angry?

Staff Officer Ma looked at the enraged Yuwen Feiye, frowned slightly, and then he said, "Your Highness, since the treasure has been released by the owner of Guangjuyuan, we can only buy it. However, we can Buy it at the cheapest price!"

When Yuwen Feiye heard it, he immediately said in confusion, "The cheapest price?"

Staff Officer Ma said, "His Royal Highness, the auction house only auctions things, not the person who owns it. Therefore, we directly find the person who owns the thing, show our identity, and buy the thing at the lowest price. I believe it is impossible for anyone. Reject royal authority!"

After hearing the words of Staff Officer Ma, Yuwen Feiye played with the emerald green finger on the thumb of the other hand. Seems to be considering the feasibility of this approach.

However, at this point, the staff of the last season disagreed, "Brother Ma, aren't your Highness bullying others! In case, the emperor knows about this..."

Although the latter sentence was not stated clearly, everyone understood the consequences of this being known by the emperor.

Staff Ma said indifferently, "Brother Ji, I'm afraid you are overthinking it! Why does Your Highness want thousand-year-old ginseng? It's not just for the sake of the dragon body of the Holy One. When the Holy One knows that His Royal Highness has worked so hard for him, you are filial. Do you think the Holy One will still blame His Highness?"

It seems that everyone is thinking about the possibility that Ma's staff said.

Staff Jiang did not say anything, that is to say, whether to oppose or support it.

But Ji staff still has scruples.

Because, if Guangjuyuan Auction House did not release the rumors, if they went to Lin Deshan and asked to buy the thousand-year-old ginseng, there would be no so-called bullying, and this would not affect the reputation of the third highness.

But now, this is obviously a desire to buy and sell strongly, in case it spreads out...

Yuwen Feiye is an impatient person who is eager to achieve his goals by unscrupulous means.

In his eyes, only what is good for him and what is not good for him.

After a while, he made a decision and said, "Just do as Mr. Ma said!"

Staff Ma slightly lowered his head, his expression was a burst of joy and excitement.

Staff Jiang did not show any expression.

Ji staff is just a little helpless.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Once Yuwen Feiye made a decision, it would be difficult for anyone to change his mind.

...

When Guo Bing took a letter from the general's new butler to him, and saw the contents of the letter, Guo Bing had a black line on his face.

Afterwards, he rolled his eyes, looked up at the sky and said, "Brother, you are so disloyal, how can you go to the hero to save the beauty by yourself, but leave me to face a group of tigers and wolves."

However, after a while, he smiled and said to himself, "Hehe, eldest brother, I knew you would not be able to sit still. You said that you are not worried about Miss Lin, but you are not sure why you are worried about Miss Lin. , you can't wait to rush over."

The new housekeeper Jiang Bo on the side tapped Guo Bing curiously for a while, and then he asked curiously and puzzled, "Master Guo, who is the girl Lin you are talking about? Why do you say my family general? Are you worried about her?"

You must know that his general has never been close to any girl, why would he suddenly worry about a girl.

Guo Bing looked around, and then said to Uncle Jiang very mysteriously, "Uncle Jiang, this young master tells you a secret, you must keep your head down."

Uncle Jiang immediately looked flattered, and responded unexpectedly, "Mm, um, Master Guo, what do you say!"

Then, Guo Bing said, "Uncle Jiang, in a short while, your general's residence may have a new queen hostess!"

"What?" Uncle Jiang seemed to be frightened, and immediately took a few steps back in surprise, and said in disbelief, "Master Guo, is what you said true?"

If this news is true, it is great news every day.

Guo Bing immediately wrapped his hands around Uncle Jiang's neck and said, "Oh, Uncle Jiang, how can you doubt this young master, you know, my master and I are brothers who lived and died together, how could this young master be here? The general's life-long event is a joke, don't you think, Uncle Jiang!"

Uncle Jiang reacted immediately, and he was so excited that he didn't know why, and he said at a loss, "It's good, it's good. God, it's really eye-opening, I can't bear to be a good person like the general for a lifetime of loneliness, so I will give him a gift. Come with me."

Then, he asked eagerly, "Master Guo, what kind of person is that girl? When will she marry the general?"

In his consciousness, since the general had taken a fancy to that girl, the marriage between them was of course an ironclad fact.

That's why he thought about getting to know more about the future hostess. Fortunately, the General's House arranged an atmosphere for the hostess to adapt to as soon as possible.

However, what Guo Bing said next gave him a heavy blow.

He said, "Uncle Jiang, don't be too busy with your general's marriage. Because Miss Lin is only twelve and a half years away, she will be two and a half years away from her wedding!"

"What?" Jiang Bo was stunned for a moment, and then he discovered a terrifying question, "Could it be that his general is a pedophile?" His general was twenty-four or five years old, a whole lot older than others. One round.

Immediately, he shook his head, "No, what is the difference between this and the special hobby of the third prince. We must resolutely stop his family's general's outlook on life from being skewed!"

Guo Bing seemed to see Uncle Jiang's thoughts, so he persuaded him, "Uncle Jiang, you, don't worry about it. After you meet Miss Lin, you will find that there is no one other than Miss Lin. The girl is worthy of your general! Oh, no, that's wrong, then Miss Lin is not worthy of any man, and your general is just a man who is barely worthy."

Jiang Bo was shocked and surprised for a while.

What is frightening is that the girl's age is really..., what is surprising is that no matter how old the girl is, there is always a mother who is not rejecting his general.

Hearing Guo Bing's words, Uncle Jiang murmured in his heart, how sacred is this girl Lin, that the young master of the Guo family is so praised and revered, and that their family cares so much about the hard-hearted general of the woman. with worries?

Uncle Jiang said curiously, "Master Guo, when do you think Miss Lin will enter the General's Mansion?"

Guo Bing said, "After half a year!"

"After half a year?!" Uncle Jiang was surprised!
