Chapter 159: One-Shot Kill
Xunyang City.
The city defense is strict, rows of soldiers in armor patrol the city, and the atmosphere of depression shrouds the people in the city.
As the news spreads, the news about the murder of Prince Lin gradually spreads in the city. More and more people get to know the news, which also leads to many rumors in the city.
After all, it was Prince Lin who died, and the impact is quite large. In addition, there are many soldiers stationed outside Xunyang City, and many big figures who were rarely seen in Xunyang County in the past are in a hurry to go in and out of the prefectural government, which gives people a sense of urgency that the great trend is coming.
Such a big move can't help but make people nervous.
Even many ordinary people in the city are already speculating, if the Prince Lin attacks, how long can their Xunyang County last?
More than a decade ago, the reputation of the Prince Lin who destroyed more than a dozen countries still exists, and Yanzhou borders Linzhou. Once the Prince Lin sends troops, the army can almost instantly enter the territory of Yanzhou and approach Xunyang County.
If the King Lin, who had experienced the pain of losing his son, lost his mind, could these innocent people be spared?
It was said that the King Lin was cold-blooded and ruthless, and he killed countless people. Would he implicate innocent people to avenge his son?
There were even many people who secretly packed their luggage and prepared for retreat...
Of course, some people were not too worried.
They did not believe that the King Lin would really dare to attack them. After all, once he mobilized his troops, it would be a rebellion.
He, the King Lin, could not really rebel...right?
Besides, what did the death of the Prince Lin have to do with them, the ordinary people?
They did not kill him, so even if Lin Hengzhong was angry, could he implicate everyone and kill everyone in Xunyang County?
If he, Lin Hengzhong, dared to massacre the city, there would be no place for him in the world.
So, this part of the people still lived a normal life, listening to music on the streets every day, and discussing the movements of Linzhou in teahouses and taverns, and their lives were still not affected much.
Taishou Mansion
Backyard.
Wang Qin sat in the yard, bored and extremely irritable.
Since he came back, Wang Qin has been staying at home obediently.
Wang Qin is not stupid for causing a big disaster this time. In this special period, he naturally has to be low-key and honest.
Especially when his father learned about this, he was furious. Under such circumstances, Wang Qin naturally stayed at home obediently for half a month.
In addition, he was inexplicably threatened by a woman in red with a sword in the mansion last time, which also frightened Wang Qin for a long time. Immediately, countless masters were placed inside and outside the courtyard to protect him day and night.
In the past half month, everything was safe and sound, but Wang Qin was also suffocated.
He was not a quiet person. He was arrogant in Xunyang County every now and then, and he was used to a life of debauchery. This time he was locked up at home doing nothing all day, and even the maids and servants in the mansion were tired of it.
He began to miss the girl in Liuxianglou, and the lingering beauty of the courtesan Piaoxiang in Liuxianglou.
Especially during this period, Xunyang County was peaceful inside and outside, and there was no unusual movement in the city. It was rumored that the soldiers around Prince Lin were also missing.
In addition, during this period, his father and second uncle made many contacts with various families in Xunyang County, and communicated with the major families in the capital, so Wang Qin was completely relieved.
After all, their Wang family is also the largest family in Xunyang County, with deep roots and overwhelming power. Even if Lin Hengzhong was angry, he had to give their Wang family some face. After all, this is Yanzhou, not Linzhou.
Not to mention that behind his Wang family, there is the support of the governor of Yanzhou.
In this way, Wang Qin, who was completely relieved, began to move again.
Seeing that the limelight was gradually passing, Wang Qin called his confidants to prepare to slip away while his father and second uncle were not at home.
"Sir, the master has told you not to go out casually during this period." The confidant who followed Wang Qin couldn't help but remind him.
"What are you afraid of? The people of the Lin family can't come to our territory in Xunyang City to cause trouble for me, right?"
Wang Qin sneered disdainfully, but soon remembered the experience of being kidnapped last time, and his eyes subconsciously scanned the surroundings.
When he realized that there were guards and masters hiding in the open and dark around him, Wang Qin suddenly felt safe and relieved.
With the previous experiences, Wang Qin now attaches great importance to safety awareness. When he goes out, he must bring many guards to protect him closely, and there are also mysterious and powerful masters to protect him secretly.
Under such circumstances, Wang Qin was satisfied and went out at ease.
After half a month, Wang Qin stepped out of the prefecture again. He was in a very good mood. Walking on the street, looking at the prosperous Xunyang City, he was thinking about the scene of going to the capital to meet the princess in a while.
After Lin Jiangnian's death, the engagement was cancelled. But the princess has already reached the age of marriage. Without the prince, there will probably be many people in the capital seeking marriage.
If Wang Qin wants to be favored by the princess, he must be creative...
Thinking so, Wang Qin walked around the street for a few times and stepped into Liuxianglou with ease.
As a frequent visitor to Liuxianglou, the madam is very familiar with Wang Qin. Seeing Wang Qin appear, she immediately came up with a warm smile on her face.
"Master Wang, you are finally here, but I haven't seen you for a while. I miss you so much."
Wang Qin narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the madam's flattery to him: "Where is Miss Piaoxiang? I haven't seen her for some time. Let her come to see me."
The madam was a little confused: "Master Wang, I'm afraid this Miss Piao Xiang is in some inconvenience today..."
"inconvenient?"
Wang Qin glanced at her, and the guard behind him immediately threw a large piece of silver to the madam and sneered: "I would like to see, how can she do this inconvenient way?"
The old bustard took the money and immediately beamed with joy: "Young Master Wang is indeed very generous. Please wait a moment. I will go to persuade Miss Piao Xiang now..."
…
Teahouse opposite Liuxiang Tower, second floor.
"He is indeed here."
Standing next to the window, Lin Jiangnian glanced at the door of Liuxiang Building and spoke calmly.
From this line of sight, we could just see Wang Qin walking into this brothel.
From the moment Wang Qin left home, all his whereabouts were under Lin Jiangnian's surveillance. Based on the previous investigation of Wang Qin’s habits, we determined his daily places of entry and exit.
And this Liuxiang Tower is where Wang Qin comes most often.
I heard that there is an oiran in Liuxiang Tower who is Wang Qin’s old friend.
"This Wang Qin goes straight to the brothel as soon as he leaves the house. He is really not a thing."
Lin Jiangnian sighed, and suddenly realized something was wrong. He raised his eyes and saw Zhiyuan and Lin Qingqing's eyes on him.
Zhiyuan glanced expressionlessly and quickly moved away.
Lin Qingqing gave His Highness a strange look and then also changed her gaze: "Then, do you want to do it now?"
"No rush!"
Lin Jiang young shook his head lightly: "Wait a little longer, wait until he relaxes his vigilance."
After saying that, Lin Jiangnian asked again: "Have you figured out the master guards around him?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, your subordinates have already found out..."
Lin Qingqing spoke in a low voice: "When Wang Qin goes out this time, he is protected by guards both overtly and covertly. There are guards both inside and outside Liuxiang Tower..."
Lin Jiangnian followed his gaze to the street and saw many figures in the bustling street. Although they were disguised as ordinary people, their auras could not be concealed, and these people were almost consciously guarding outside Liuxiang Tower. It was obvious that they were protecting something.
"In addition, there is a master secretly beside Wang Qin. His martial arts is not weak. He should be sent by the Wang family to protect him."
"Can it be solved?" Lin Jiangnian glanced at her.
Lin Qingqing hesitated and shook her head slightly: "I can't guarantee it."
She didn't care about the other guards, but the martial arts master beside Wang Qin was not weak. Lin Qingqing couldn't guarantee that she would win. Even if she could win, she might be able to alert the enemy.
Lin Jiangnian nodded, which was unexpected. Although Lin Qingqing is the commander of his own army, and his martial arts skills are not weak, he is not a top expert.
After all, she is too young to have such martial arts strength, which is already extremely powerful.
After all, she is not one of those talented and intelligent geniuses. Her martial arts talent is indeed stronger than that of ordinary people, but it is still far from a genius.
"In this case, we can't attack by force, we can only outwit them."
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and was about to say something when he saw Zhiyuan, who had been silent in front of him, suddenly stand up.
"Where are you going?"
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and saw Zhiyuan turning around and walking towards the door. She paused for a moment and said expressionlessly: "Kill someone."
The tone was neither cold nor indifferent, as if he was talking about something lightly.
Lin Jiangnian was startled, and he instantly realized her purpose and shook his head: "You can't go, your injuries haven't healed yet!"
Although Zhiyuan's martial arts skills are advanced, her injuries have not completely improved and it is too dangerous.
However, Zhiyuan just said lightly: "It doesn't matter."
Then he turned and left.
Leave gracefully.
Lin Jiangnian frowned, somewhat angry.
Lin Qingqing on the side saw this scene and looked at His Highness without daring to speak.
Sister Zhiyuan is still awesome... She doesn't listen to His Highness at all.
"Your Highness..."
After a while, Lin Qingqing carefully tested: "Sister Zhiyuan..."
"go!"
Lin Jiangnian had a straight face and waved his hands: "Why are you still stunned? Send someone over quickly to watch, don't let anything happen to her!"
"When she comes back, let's see how I teach her a lesson!"
Is she really a maverick and doesn't take his words seriously?
Normally I would forget about it, but this time I was so impulsive even though I was injured. When she comes back, I must teach her a lesson tonight.
…
Inside Liuxiang Tower.
Mixed with the scent of alcohol and women's rouge, it was extremely rich. Drunken lantern riddles, the romantic place is hazy with mist and rain.
On the third floor, there is a private room.
Outside the corridor, it was quiet.
A middle-aged man in simple clothes stood outside the room, standing like a sculpture and saying nothing.
The aura all over his body was good, restrained and heavy.
It's intimidating.
In the room, you can occasionally hear the sound of women playing and panting, which is particularly pleasant to the ear.
The middle-aged man outside the door remained unmoved and abided by his duties.
Until a certain moment, a female figure suddenly appeared outside the corridor, approaching slowly.
The middle-aged man glanced at it, but when he first glanced at it, he didn't take it seriously. It is not surprising that there are many women in Liuxiang Tower.
However, as the other party's footsteps gradually approached, the middle-aged man finally raised his head. This place is the exclusive place for his son. There is no order not to allow others to trespass. How dare this person come close?
The middle-aged man looked up, and when his eyes fell on the other person's face, his expression was startled and a little dazed.
That was a stunningly beautiful face.
Stunningly beautiful!
Even though there are many beautiful women in Liuxianglou, no one can compare with her.
That is an indescribable beauty, elegant and indifferent, completely different from this vulgar atmosphere.
How could there be such a woman in Liuxianglou?
How could her temperament be out of tune?
Something is wrong!
The next second, the middle-aged man's heart sank suddenly.
This woman is definitely not a woman from Liuxianglou.
Who is she?
Ominous thoughts emerged in his heart, and the middle-aged man immediately shouted in a deep voice: "You..."
But he just had time to open his mouth and say a word, and suddenly felt a powerful force rushing towards him.
"Bang!"
The middle-aged man's pupils shrank suddenly, snorted coldly, and raised his hand to meet it.
"Bang!"
A muffled groan.
The middle-aged man's figure stopped in place, he slowly lowered his head and looked, his eyes fell on his chest.
The chest that was originally blocked, I don't know when there was a silver needle.
The silver needle entered his body, and the piercing pain spread all over his body along his chest, and his heart stopped suddenly.
His pupils dilated, and he looked incredulous.
"You..."
He raised his head with difficulty, his body stiff, and he couldn't believe that he was defeated.
Just one move!
He couldn't even withstand the opponent's understated move.
He raised his eyes with difficulty, and his eyes finally fell on the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him, like a fairy in the sky, but cold and thrilling.
Who is she? !
This was the last thought in his mind.
Then he fell heavily.
Dead!
Not far behind him, Lin Qingqing, who was following Sister Zhiyuan, saw this scene, and her eyes were dull.
When she came back to her senses after a long time, her eyes were shocked and envious.
Sister Zhiyuan was injured and her injuries had not yet healed. His Highness asked her to follow him in case of any accidents.
But unexpectedly, the scene in front of him made Lin Qingqing completely silent.
What kind of accident could happen?
The most powerful worshiper around Wang Qin couldn't even stop the injured Sister Zhiyuan.
Lin Qingqing was in a complicated mood, and her eyes were full of envy.
Sister Zhiyuan seemed to be even more powerful...
In time, Sister Zhiyuan might really be able to compete with the eldest princess, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but have more expectations.
...
At the same time, in the private room.
In the antique and beautiful room, on the soft couch, two figures were entangled, which was unbearable to look at.
After a long time, the dust settled!
"Mr. Wang, you are so great..."
The woman's soft and boneless voice came, very soft, very sticky, making people feel comfortable all over.
Hearing such praise, Wang Qin was in a very good mood. Looking at the woman who had not seen him for a long time in his arms, twisting and acting coquettishly in his arms, the depression of being imprisoned at home for a long time was swept away.
"Little demon, today I'll let you see how powerful I am!"
Just as Wang Qin was about to continue to show his prowess, he stood up and glanced at the room inadvertently.
The next second, he was shocked.
"You, who are you?!!"
"..."
