Chapter 515 The male protagonist's cannon fodder cousin (38)
How could the people on the shore, except for the nurse, react so quickly? They were all confused. They were playing the game well, so why did an assassin suddenly appear?
When they saw the wild birds being shot to death, the black poisonous blood still flowed out. Each one of them turned pale with fright, and their two bodies trembled, but at least they all remembered their identities.
"Girl, hide now!"
Zi Yuan and Hong Qian protected Xu Yin in the middle and hid in a sheltered place.
The assassin did not complete the task, and obviously did not give up. Just like Sikong, he came after him across the lake.
After seeing the assassin clearly, everyone's mouths opened into circles, big enough to stuff an egg into.
When they heard there was an assassin, they thought it was a man in black wearing a black mask.
Unexpectedly, it was farmers wearing coarse cloth jackets, who had just come up from the fields, with stains on their trouser legs.
"..."
While everyone was stunned, Sikong held Xu Kui in his arms and left the lotus pond in an instant.
Xu Kui was shocked, frightened and confused:
"What's wrong? Who wants to kill me? Who have I offended? Didn't I just cheat the shopkeeper of He Niantang and spend five hundred taels to buy the former tribute wine shop? I didn't do much else...
…I’ve never done anything harmful to God…Oh, brother Sikong, can you run slower, I’m going to vomit…”
"Shut up!" Sikong simply tapped his acupoint, which was too noisy.
Xu Kui opened his mouth and was speechless, his eyes widened in shock.
When Wang Huyuan saw Sikong running to the east, he thought for a moment, waved his hand, and one of the nursing team protected the girl and retreated to the west, while the other team stayed behind to intercept the assassin.
Unexpectedly, the assassin ignored them and went straight to Sikong.
Wang Huyuan narrowed his eyes: "So, their target is really Shopkeeper Xu? But why?"
The old housekeeper was trembling all over, with a pale face: "Quier! Did Kuier offend someone? Why would anyone want to hunt him down..."
There were actually assassins among the farmers working at Wanhua Village; his son was almost assassinated; the ugly accountant turned out to be a martial arts master... Each and every one of them made him confused.
Xu Yin lowered her eyelids in thought.
The assassin appeared after Xu Kui mocked himself about the plum blossom birthmark on his calf.
Could it be that the plum blossom birthmark has a great background? Xu Kui’s identity is not simple?
Also not simple is Sikong Accountant. This guy is actually a martial arts master. How can he hide it so secretly?
She actually made a mistake one day!
Suddenly, she thought of something and turned to look at Wang Huyuan.
Wang Huyuan also happened to recall the incident where Chashan Villa was attacked by bandits at night two years ago.
Shi Zi'er knocked down the hidden weapon flying from the wind, showing his strong internal strength;
Floating on the water does not cause any splash, which shows that its lightness is excellent...
"girl!"
"Do you also suspect that the person who helped us that day was Sikong?"
"The younger one does have this idea."
"Ask him later."
Xu Yin intuitively felt that he would come back.
No matter what, I have to give the Xu Mansion an explanation for this matter.
Comrade Xu Kui, the son that the old housekeeper had worked so hard to raise, her right-hand man, even if he had another identity, could not be taken away without even giving an explanation.
When he suddenly heard that there was an assassin in the village, and he was in the lotus pond where the girl and others were picking lotus pods, the head of the village turned green with fright, and came to Xu Yin to plead guilty:
"Girl! I really don't know! Those people have been working in Wanhua Village for several years. Except for occasionally delivering things to the house, they usually stay in the village. I really didn't notice that they actually
yes……"
Xu Yin comforted him a few words.
Assassins with high martial arts skills hang out among farmers and have been doing farm work for many years. Who would guess that they are assassins? They are so good at hiding!
Moreover, she suspected that assassins were lurking not only in Wanhua Village, but also in other villages.
However, right now, I am not interested in looking for the assassin in Zhuangzi, but where did Sikong take Xu Kui?
The people sent by Wang Huyuan to search for him have not come back yet.
It wasn't until noon the next day that I came back sweating profusely.
Xu Yin asked the maids to serve them tea and let them take a breath before talking.
The nurse drank a pot of tea in one breath, wiped her mouth and began to report:
"Girl! I found out that there are assassins in Zhuangzi elsewhere in our house! But don't worry, girl, Sikong must have lured these out on purpose. He took Shopkeeper Xu and ran away to all the Zhuangzi."
Xu Yin: "..."
Think about the scene: Sikong ran around the Zhuangzi under the Xu Mansion with a big living person under his arm.
Zhuangzi under the Xu Mansion was not only in the south of the city, but also in the east, west, north, and west. Not only did he run around with Xu Kui in his arms, but there were also pursuers behind him... Is this still a human being? Is this a perpetual motion machine?
"Girl, I also found out that a strange man with an ugly face took shopkeeper Xu around the village, and finally led the assassins to the top of the west mountain, where they were all solved."
"How many assassins are here?"
Xu Yin held her forehead.
She almost doubted that Zhuangzi under the Xu Mansion would become a den for assassins, right?
"More than forty people." Youhuyuan said, "I heard from the government officials that a murder case was found on the top of Xishan Mountain. Forty or fifty people were all killed by a string of stones."
When Xu Yin heard this, she couldn't help but rub her arm.
Once again, we were fortunate that the people who hit the six bandits with stones that night were friends rather than enemies. Otherwise, they might not have survived until dawn.
Her permanent divine power and small grappling skills have no chance to be used in front of real martial arts masters, with the seamless cooperation of light kung fu and hidden weapons.
"What about Xu Kui? Has anyone heard about Xu Kui's whereabouts?" Xu Yin asked.
"No need to ask."
Sikong's lazy voice suddenly sounded above their heads.
Everyone looked up in fear.
This guy was lying leisurely on the rafters.
Xu Yin laughed angrily: "How long have you been eavesdropping?"
"Is this eavesdropping?"
Sikong snorted lightly, it was too insulting to him.
Everyone: "..."
"Come down! Or do you want to be a gentleman?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sikong landed next to her quietly, startling her.
Xu Yin frowned with a headache and asked the maid to make a pot of tea and come in. Except for Wang Huyuan and the housekeeper, everyone else went out first.
"Sit down and talk!" She made a "please" gesture.
Sikong raised his eyebrows, said nothing, lifted his robe, and sat down.
After Hong Qian brought the tea and cakes in, he poured himself a cup and took a slow sip: "Want to know the whereabouts of the Crown Prince?"
"Prince?"
The three masters and servants exclaimed in surprise.
Sikong couldn't help but chuckle.
Since Xu Shi entered the house, Xu Yin had always given him the impression of being calm and strategizing. Even if the matchmaker came to visit and the old housekeeper would be anxious, she herself was still calm and unhurried, without the reaction that an ordinary girl's family should have.
At this time, when he learned Xu Kui's identity, he showed an expression of surprise that almost made his eyes pop.
Can Xu Yin not be surprised? There is no such party in the original text!
Xu Kui is not an ordinary orphan, he has status! The crown prince... Emma! I didn’t expect that he turned out to be a member of the royal family!
