Chapter 12 Take Your Dog's Life
Zhao Lingyin looked at Lin Xiu coldly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and you're here again."
This sister-in-law can't be asked for, and she can't even get involved in the fun, let alone the horse galloping. The engagement matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
Although I thought so in my heart, Lin Xiu still explained: "You misunderstood. I met an assassin last night. If it weren't for Dali, I wouldn't have seen you today. Dali was poisoned because of saving me. He was the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital just now. She saved Dali. I have to thank him..."
"assassin!"
Zhao Lingyin's expression changed and she asked, "Are you okay?"
Lin Xiu said: "I'm fine, but Dali was injured to protect me and has not woken up yet."
It's so good, how could Lin Xiu meet an assassin? Zhao Lingyin thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Qin Cong!"
Yesterday, Qin Cong suffered a great loss at the hands of Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin. With his vengeful personality, he had enough motivation to act.
Zhao Lingyin turned his head and left, without giving Lin Xiu a chance to keep him. In fact, Lin Xiu felt that 90% of the assassination incident last night was not done by Qin Cong, but Qin Cong deserves to die, so it would be better to let Lingyin suffer some trouble.
She was very cautious in her actions and would not kill Qin Cong, but she would not make him feel better.
Lin Xiu returned to the room, Sun Dali had woken up. To be honest, he had been betrayed several times by this guy. Lin Xiu thought he would run away last night, but he did not expect that he would face the poison-tempering flying knife with his body without hesitation.
Lin Xiu walked to the bed, patted Sun Dali on the shoulder and said, "Thank you."
Sun Dali looked dissatisfied and said, "I am the young master's guard, so it is appropriate to protect the young master."
Lin Xiu glanced at him and asked, "Where did you go when Lingyin beat me?"
Sun Dali smiled silly and said, "This is different..."
Sun Dali got up and had a meal. Mrs. Ping Anbo ordered the kitchen to cook a full table of food for him. He was strong and had a lot of food, and rarely had time to eat so much.
Lin Xiu hadn't eaten anything yesterday. She took a few bites with Sun Dali. Uncle Ping An walked to the door and said to him: "Xiuer, come here, your mother and I have something to say to you."
Lin Xiu followed him to the study, where Mrs. Ping Anbo was already there.
When getting along with them alone, Lin Xiu was still a little unnatural and asked, "What's the matter?"
He still couldn't say the words "father" and "mother" to the two strangers.
Ping Anbo pondered for a moment and asked, "I wonder if you still remember Xiu'er, you have a marriage contract with the Zhao family?"
Lin Xiu nodded and said, "I know."
He was trying to convince Ping Anbo and his wife to cancel this unreliable arranged marriage. Since they took the initiative to mention it, Lin Xiu took the opportunity to say, "But I think this engagement is not a good thing for both families. Can we discuss with the Zhao family and cancel the engagement?"
Ping Anbo and his wife were surprised when they heard this. Ping Anbo asked in surprise: "Siuer, do you think so too?"
Lin Xiu nodded and said, "The Zhao family is now apart from us. That daughter of heaven is also the proud daughter of heaven. How can our Lin family be so successful? It is better to cancel it as soon as possible, so that it is good for both families."
When Ping Anbo heard this, he looked pleased and said, "Xiu'er, it's best if you can think like this. The same is true for your mother and I. Instead of being dragged down by the engagement, it's better to cancel it directly and find you a wife of a good match, get married as soon as possible, so that we can also hold our grandson..."
Lin Xiu was shocked and cancelled the engagement with the Zhao family and married him again. Isn’t this just leaving the tiger’s mouth and entering the wolf’s nest again? Lin Xiu hurriedly said: “Don’t be so anxious, I’m only eighteen…”
Mrs. Ping Anbo said: "Eighteen is not young anymore. When I was eighteen years old, you were already in my stomach..."
Lin Xiu felt a little overwhelmed and quickly fled here for excuses of being uncomfortable in her stomach.
...
Streets of the capital.
Qin Cong and two servants had just come out of a restaurant.
Although I broke a few ribs yesterday, with his ability, it did not affect my actions. It only took half a month to completely recover.
But his grudge against Lin Xiu was completely formed. He couldn't afford to offend Zhao Lingyin, but could he still offend Lin Xiu?
Just as Qin Cong was planning how to take revenge in his heart, he suddenly felt a chill again, and then a beautiful face appeared in his eyes.
This face is beautiful, but to Qin Cong, it is like a stinger. He subconsciously withdrew two steps and said vigilantly: "Zhao Lingyin, what do you want to do!"
Zhao Lingyin asked coldly: "Did you do the assassination of Lin Xiu?"
Qin Cong was stunned at first when he heard this, then his face showed ecstasy and asked: "What? Lin Xiu was assassinated. What's the result? Is he dead?"
The temperature in the air dropped sharply, Qin Cong shivered, then seemed to understand something, immediately looked at Zhao Lingyin and explained: "Don't get me wrong. This is not what I did. I am not crazy, how could I do such a thing?"
He realized at this moment that Zhao Lingyin was coming to settle the score with him, and explained repeatedly: "Lin Xiu and I have a grudge, but that is all small conflicts. I was just wronged by him and was in prison for two hours. No matter how big the matter is, I can't make it, really can't make it..."
Qin Cong's performance was not like lying. Zhao Lingyin looked at him coldly and turned around to leave. Qin Cong asked urgently: "What's going on? When did Lin Xiu be assassinated? Is he dead? Can I go to Lin's mansion to pay my respects..."
Zhao Lingyin, who was originally going to leave, turned around again after hearing this.
Soon, a shrill scream came from the street, and a sound was overwhelmed. The street guards who rushed over took a look from a distance, then turned around and left tacitly...
Lin Mansion.
Lin Xiu looked at Zhao Lingyin with a tentative look and asked, "What's wrong with Qin Cong?"
Zhao Lingyin said: "It's nothing, I just broke a few more ribs."
Lin Xiu was silent for a moment before speaking: "Actually, yesterday's assassination shouldn't be his doing."
Zhao Lingyin was not surprised at all and said, "I know."
Lin Xiu said in surprise: "I know you broke several more ribs?"
Zhao Lingyin looked at him and said, "I know everything about the Qinglisi Department. This person deserves to die. Breaking a few ribs is considered a bargain."
It seems that Lingyin has a righteous heart like himself. Lin Xiu no longer continues this topic. Thinking of something, he asked: "The assassin yesterday was a little strange. He punched it out and actually produced a sonic boom, but his ability does not seem to be power. I wonder what ability it is?"
Zhao Lingyin punched out and asked, "Is that true?"
boom!
As she punched, a dull sound came from the air.
Lin Xiu said in surprise: "What is this?"
Zhao Lingyin explained: "True Qi is the power of martial arts practice, which is different from extraordinary skills."
Lin Xiu has been addicted to the strange arts these days and has never heard of martial arts. He only knows that there is a martial arts academy next to the strange arts academy. Is there anything wrong with these two?
Regarding issues in practice, Zhao Lingyin is always very patient with Lin Xiu.
She thought for a while and said, "Martial arts is another way different from extraordinary arts. The assassin practiced martial arts, but his strength was not high, otherwise he would not be beaten to death by your guards."
After Lingyin's explanation, Lin Xiucai learned that in addition to the extraordinary skills, there is actually another path to practice in this world.
Abnormal arts are like a gift from God. Some people are born with magical abilities, and after awakening, they are even more powerful.
But God does not favor everyone. For thousands of years, ordinary people who have not awakened a magical technique have gradually figured out a path, that is, the path of martial arts.
A powerful magician can move mountains and fill the seas, and a peak martial arts expert can also break the mountain with one sword.
Compared with extraordinary skills, the path of martial arts is more difficult. Although everyone can practice, there are very few people who can practice it to the depths. Therefore, in this world, there are naturally much less sense of existence compared with extraordinary skills.
But this does not mean that martial arts are weaker than strange arts. True martial arts powerhouses are not inferior to the most powerful magicians. It’s just that such powerful people are too rare and martial arts are difficult to practice, which makes martial arts powerhouses more rare than high-level magicians.
Lin Xiu cannot use extraordinary techniques to fight now, but he can try to practice martial arts first. With his power far beyond ordinary people, it should be easier to practice than ordinary people.
Lin Xiu remembers that there are also martial arts teachings in the Academic Arts Academy. When the hospital opens a month later, he may be more focused on this aspect.
Just as Lin Xiu was planning his future, Qin Mansion and Qin Cong stepped into the house cursingly.
I was beaten by Zhao Lingyin yesterday, but today I just went out for a meal. Unexpectedly, I was beaten again. Although he had already contacted the imperial doctor to collect the bones, his chest still felt a slight pain. He kept the account on Lin Xiu's head again.
In recent days, the years have been unfavorable.
First, he met the ungrateful Wang woman, and later provoked Zhao Lingyin, which made Qin Cong feel unhappy everywhere.
The father had already found someone to settle the case of the woman Wang family, and he had to find someone to look at the old man so that he would not cause anything again.
Although Qin Cong is not afraid of trouble, he doesn't want to be troubled.
However, the person who assassinated Lin Xiu was really not sent by him, and he was not crazy, how could he do such a thing? Who is it? Is it...
A figure appeared in his heart, and a trace of fear appeared in Qin Cong's eyes, and he never dared to continue to associate.
After being beaten twice in two days, Qin Cong felt as if he had fallen apart. After returning home, he walked into his room and planned to rest for a while.
When he closed the door and walked towards the bed, he suddenly found that there was an extra person in the room.
It was a woman in black. She had a beautiful face and a beautiful hair tied high behind her head. As a woman, she did not have the tenderness of a woman and looked very heroic.
When Qin Cong walked in just now, there was nothing at that location. At first, Qin Cong thought it was a surprise prepared by the servants for him, but soon realized something was wrong.
There was no trace of panic on the woman's face, and her expression was as cold as a piece of ice for thousands of years.
Qin Cong felt a little alert and asked, "Who are you and why are you in my room?"
The woman in black did not look at Qin Cong, but said lightly: "I'll get something."
Qin Cong frowned and said, "What are you taking?"
