When Lu Xiaofeng was invited to the hall, she finally saw a few old acquaintances.
After greeting everyone, he turned his attention to Xu Yin.
"It's really surprising to see you in the palace."
Xu Yin smiled and said: "Study in literature and martial arts, and sell goods to the emperor's family. The experience of traveling in the world is not so easy. For example, how to make money is very difficult."
"So the palace hired you with a lot of money, and you agreed without hesitation?"
"Of course."
Ye Gucheng suddenly said: "He has very good swordsmanship, but he does not have a sincere heart for the sword."
Xu Yin smiled bitterly and said: "As long as the city lord doesn't keep thinking about having a sword duel with me, I will be very happy."
Ye Gucheng sneered: "I won't find a guy who has no courage and confidence to compete, so as not to dirty my sword!"
Xu Yin smiled nonchalantly and stepped aside.
Lu Xiaofeng's simulated entry into the palace's treasury was not without some gains. At least he concluded that the embroidery thief could sneak into the wine warehouse under the treasury.
Of course, Xu Yin was not interested in the entire case.
He happily accepted the invitation from the palace and came here to serve as a guest of the palace and to teach swordsmanship. His purpose was also very simple.
Because he knew that the prince of the Southeast Palace looked very similar to the current emperor, he had the ambition to replace him.
In the near future, he will plan to kill the king and seize the throne!
And that was Xu Yin's only chance to contact the current emperor.
He believed that with his demonstrated martial arts and abilities, it would not be difficult to gain the Crown Prince's trust.
After everyone dispersed, Xu Yin prepared to return to his room to rest.
Passing by the flower garden outside the west wing, suddenly a sharp sword stabbed Xu Yin from the side!
That sword intent made him feel like a flying fairy facing Ye Gucheng!
It's a pity that Xu Yin is also the top swordsman. In just a moment, he felt that this sword was only six times as powerful as the Heavenly Flying Immortal. Both the foundation and the ultimate intention were far different from the original version.
So he stretched out two fingers and easily caught the sword.
This is the skill of snapping the fingers to imitate the Lingxi Finger, and his Jiuyin Manual skill is not bad either.
"Lu Xiaofeng's telepathic finger?"
The man withdrew the sword. Of course, if Xu Yin hadn't given in intentionally, the sword would have been welded between his fingers like cast iron.
When Xu Yin heard this familiar voice, he turned around humbly, "Why is His Royal Highness so interested?"
The one who drew out his sword to attack Xu Yin was the heir apparent of the Southeast Palace. He was Ye Gucheng's apprentice and had acquired the true inheritance of Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship.
"I just want to test the swordsman that my master has praised. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have the qualifications to let you draw the sword?"
Xu Yin smiled and said: "As a guest of the royal family, of course I cannot make any mistakes."
"What if I must force you to draw your sword?"
"Unless the opponent is not the prince."
"Do you want to fight my master?"
Xu Yin said secretly: "That's not the time yet."
But he said: "Haha, Your Majesty, don't be joking. If I really draw my sword in front of Mr. Ye, then I will definitely be the one who is so angry on the spot."
The prince said: "A swordsman like you who became famous at a young age is usually very arrogant and has no fear of anything. However, you behave like a veteran of several decades."
"Because I still have a long-cherished wish that has not yet been fulfilled, and I don't want to die so early."
The prince smiled and said: "A long-cherished wish? Do you want to earn endless gold and silver, do you want to marry a beautiful woman, or do you want to become famous and powerful in the world?"
Xu Yin said: "None of them."
"Interesting, you don't like wealth, fame or fortune?"
"No, I like it very much, but if revenge is not successful, there is no point in enjoying these things."
"revenge?"
"good!"
The prince looked Xu Yin up and down, "Revenge for whom?"
"Father, mother, there are fourteen dead souls in the house."
The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who are you, Xu Hanjiang?"
"Father."
"I see, then who is your enemy?"
Xu Yin smiled and said, "Who do you think the prince is?"
"It turns out you haven't found out yet."
"If it's so easy to find out, do you really think that the monthly salary of 500 taels will be noticed by me?"
The prince suddenly approached Xu Yin's face and whispered: "I will help you find out who your enemy is, but you also have to prove your ability to me."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Find the embroidery thief."
Xu Yin smiled and said: "This is not a difficult task."
Of course he knew that the Embroidery Thief was Jin Jiuling, the best catcher in the world. Now that Jin Jiuling was not only in charge of investigating the Embroidery Thief's case, he had also become the general manager of the Southeast Prince's Palace. He could only say that the Prince of Southeast was trying to lure the wolf into the house.
It is not difficult to catch Jin Jiuling, but what is difficult is how to make him reveal his identity.
Before Xu Yin returned to the house, he suddenly turned around and said, "Before I get my revenge, I ask the prince to keep my identity secret."
"rest assured."
Xu Yin knew that the other party would definitely keep secrets, even help him find his enemies, and he would definitely find ways to lead the culprit to the current emperor.
In this way, he can safely allow himself to join his rebel group and rely on it for help!
It's a pity that Xu Yin only believed in himself. He would not help the prince and Ye Gucheng in their rebellion. Instead, he would suddenly betray them at the last moment and save them.
Only in this way can we have the opportunity to talk openly and honestly with today's people about what happened in the past, and then we can reveal the truth about the destruction of our family in the past from the layers of fog.
This is destined to be a scene where the hunter pretends to be the prey.
Of course, before that, he still had to take the matter of the Embroidery Thief seriously.
How to make Jin Jiuling reveal his identity? Naturally, all he needs to do is help Lu Xiaofeng from the side.
So Xu Yin did not rest in the house, but went to the inn to look for Lu Xiaofeng.
Halfway through the walk, he suddenly felt a chill and murderous intent.
He turned into an alley and saw two dead people lying on the ground, as well as a beautiful woman who was attacked by a bearded man wearing red embroidered shoes. Then she was hit in the chest and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Fall back.
This woman was Lu Xiaofeng's confidante Xue Bing, so Xu Yin walked out.
The bearded man saw Xu Yin and said, "It seems that there is one more person to be killed tonight."
The sound of dripping water came, and the soft sword in Xu Yin's hand was unsheathed.
"If I catch you, I won't have to go to Lu Xiaofeng."
The bearded man laughed sharply, "The swordsman who has just become famous is so ignorant of the world."
His figure was like a ghost, shrinking to an inch and appearing in front of Xu Yin in the blink of an eye. The embroidery needle in his hand was also in front of Xu Yin's eyes in an instant.
This was his second fight with the Embroidered Thief. At first, he could block all the Embroidered Thief's attacks with a scribe's sword, but now he doesn't have any fear at all.
