Chapter 200 Sikong Family

The moon was dim and the stars were sparse. The night in late autumn was particularly cold.

The lights in the small town were dim, and it was dark and silent in the distance. In the dead of night, the air seemed to have a bit more solemnity.

Outside the inn, under the eaves, Lin Qingqing held a sword, leaned against the eaves wall, and looked calmly into the distance. Her expression seemed lazy, but she was extremely sharp.

The whistling cold wind swept across her face, but she didn't seem to notice it at all.

Not far from her, Lin Kong sat on the steps of the eaves, lowering his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Lin Qingqing's cold eyes swept over him, and then looked up at the dark night, with stars in the night sky.

"Qingqing."

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Kong suddenly raised his head.

Lin Qingqing glanced at him sideways: "Is there something?"

Lin Kong was silent for a moment, hesitating to speak.

"Just say it if you have anything to say." Lin Qingqing spoke expressionlessly.

Lin Kong was silent for a long time: "Have you noticed something?"

Lin Kong stared into her eyes and suddenly said: "Your Highness, you seem to have changed a lot?"

Lin Qingqing's face was a little unfriendly: "What do you want to say?"

Before Lin Kong spoke, he heard Lin Qingqing's cold voice: "Lin Kong, have you forgotten the lesson last time?"

The voice was cold and a bit of a warning.

A bitter smile appeared on Lin Kong's face: "Of course I haven't forgotten."

As he said, he lowered his eyes: "But that's why I feel that Your Highness has changed more and more..."

His voice was a little uncertain, but very confused.

"Before, I didn't like His Highness the Prince."

Lin Kong spoke in a low voice, his tone was very calm and frank.

Lin Qingqing's eyes were slightly cold, staring at him very unkindly.

"Not just me, including you, even Miss Zhiyuan... Everyone dislikes His Royal Highness."

"Although you don't admit it, I can see it."

Lin Kong continued to talk to himself, as if he didn't notice Lin Qingqing's cold face: "The prince has been a soldier all his life, and has made great military achievements. His reputation is resounding throughout the world. Who doesn't know? Who doesn't respect him? But His Royal Highness..."

Lin Kong didn't continue, but Lin Qingqing already knew what he wanted to say.

"But during this period of time, since entering the capital, His Royal Highness seems to have become a different person..."

Lin Kong raised his eyes and looked at Lin Qingqing again: "Didn't you notice it?"

Lin Qingqing was silent.

Lin Kong saw something from her face and laughed: "You saw it, and you realized it, right?"

Lin Qingqing said expressionlessly: "Before, His Royal Highness was ignorant, but now His Royal Highness has grown up..."

"Yes, His Royal Highness has grown up!"

Lin Kong sighed lightly.

Lin Qingqing still stared at Lin Kong expressionlessly: "Lin Kong, you'd better not have any ulterior motives, otherwise, I will be the first to not forgive you!"

Lin Kong smiled bitterly and shook his head gently, "If Your Highness is like this, how could I have..."

"The Lin Palace is the life's work of the prince. Although I am just a small guard in the palace, I don't want anything to happen to the Lin Palace..."

"This is not something you need to consider."

Lin Qingqing interrupted him coldly: "Just do your duty well."

Lin Kong stared at Lin Qingqing for a while, then shook his head and sighed gently: "You have learned too much from Miss Zhiyuan, and you are no longer like yourself."

Lin Qingqing stopped talking and ignored him.

Lin Kong still sat on the steps, looking up at the night not far away, "It will take two days to reach the capital. Now we have set foot in the capital. They should be unable to sit still..."

"Do you think they will come tonight?"

When it comes to this, Lin Qingqing finally has some reaction, and her cold eyes also look at the night not far away.

"They don't want His Highness to come to the capital alive, but they are afraid that His Highness will disrupt their conspiracy!"

"They are afraid that His Highness will grow up to be a person that they fear and fear like the prince did back then!"

Lin Kong looked up, as if he remembered something, and a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes.

That year, he was only seven years old. He had witnessed the prince's arrival in the capital, and his aura was like that of a king, which shocked the world. Those high-ranking officials and dignitaries were all trembling in fear in front of the prince!

That scene was deeply engraved in his mind.

That year, the prince had just destroyed the southern border countries, and his power was overwhelming. He was crowned king by the emperor and had unlimited glory!

It was also that year that he was taken in by the prince and entered the Linwang Mansion. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

"Swoosh!"

A light sound seemed to flash across the night sky, stunning the night sky.

Lin Qingqing and Lin Kong under the eaves suddenly raised their heads at almost the same time and looked not far away.

The night sky not far away was as dark as ink. Under the ink color, several strange figures approached quickly and silently.

In the blink of an eye!

"They are coming."

Lin Kong's voice was very light.

Lin Qingqing didn't say anything, but just clenched the sword in her hand, took a step, and the figure disappeared from under the eaves.

...

"They are coming!"

Inn, in the room, in front of the window sill.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the night outside the window, and vaguely saw several black shadows flying over, like stars.

Murderous intent filled the air!

"Sure enough, you said it!"

Lin Jiangnian laughed and looked down at the girl in his arms.

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes, and her fair face was illuminated by the dim light, with a few red spots. Her slightly stiff body seemed unaccustomed to it. She glanced at the night outside the window, her eyes were calm.

It seemed that everything was within her expectations.

"It's time to prepare." Zhiyuan said softly.

"No hurry."

Lin Jiangnian glanced out the window and chuckled: "The real master hasn't shown up yet."

"Just wait a little longer."

Under the night, several black shadows gathered towards the inn from all directions.

Their figures are strange, their steps are gentle, and they arrive in the blink of an eye.

Just when everyone was about to approach the inn, several figures appeared inside and outside the originally silent inn, and they were about to explode.

Swords collided, and the sound of fighting resounded throughout the world. The originally silent night was completely broken!

The screams were endless, and the inside and outside of the inn felt like a hell on earth.

In the inn, in the room, when the sound of fighting outside the door sounded, Shen Lingjun sat up suddenly in the room.

"What's going on?"

Listening to the sound outside the door, Shen Lingjun quickly put on his clothes, grabbed the long sword on the table and walked out of the room. He met Xiao Zhu who looked panicked.

"Xiaozhu?"

"Sister Shen!"

Xiaozhu looked a little panicked and nervous: "There is an assassination!"

"Another assassination?!"

Shen Lingjun understood immediately, was he coming for Prince Lin again?

How many people has this son of a bitch offended? !

In recent days, I have encountered countless attacks and murders along the way. Even though Shen Lingjun has a good psychological quality, he was also a little upset by the harassment.

Although Xiaozhu was panicked, he was not completely panicked. During the time she was with His Highness, she gradually got used to such a life.

"Xiaozhu, follow me."

Listening to the fierce screams and the sound of swords clashing outside, this assassination seemed to be much more ferocious than before. Shen Lingjun was naturally worried about Xiaozhu alone.

"As long as I protect you, no one can hurt you!"

"..."

Room, window sill.

The figures of Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan remained motionless, their eyes falling on the dark figures fighting outside the window.

"The people who come this time are not weak in martial arts."

Lin Jiangnian half-closed his eyes and chuckled.

Outside the inn, the Crown Prince's army, which had been prepared for a long time, had already intercepted him. But these figures can still break into the inn, which shows that these people's martial arts are much more powerful than the assassins they encountered before.

"It seems that they plan to take my son's life tonight!"

Lin Jiang young sighed.

In the night, the fighting outside the inn still did not stop. In the distance, there are still figures coming from all directions.

The murderous aura shrouded in the dark night approached without any concealment.

"No one's here yet."

Zhiyuan glanced into the distance and spoke softly.

"Soon."

Lin Jiangnian murmured to himself.

These people who raided the inn at night are naturally not the real owners.

The real enemy has not yet appeared.

"..."

There was already chaos outside the inn lobby. The tables and chairs were destroyed to pieces, and there were countless sword marks on the walls. Outside the inn, there was still a steady stream of assassin masters pouring in.

Lin Qingqing stood at the door of the lobby with her sword in hand. The sword was already stained with a lot of blood. There was also a lot of blood on her clothes, hands, and even her face. She looked extremely embarrassed, but also became more and more glamorous.

On the ground in front of her, there were seven or eight corpses that had long since lost their breath. The ground was stained red with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Lin Qingqing raised her head with cold eyes and looked at the figures outside the courtyard, her eyes becoming more murderous.

At this moment, a figure quietly landed in the hall, looking Lin Qingqing up and down: "Are you the cold and charming personal maid next to Prince Lin? Tsk tsk..."

Appearing in the lobby was a man in a gray robe, about thirty years old, with sharp eyes and a vaguely teasing look.

He looked Lin Qingqing up and down, and shook his head: "Although she looks good, it doesn't look like what she said..."

"Tsk, tsk, I'm so happy!"

There seemed to be some regret on the visitor's face.

Lin Qingqing's eyes were cold: "Seeking death!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her sword and stabbed at the opponent. The speed is extremely fast, and it reaches the opponent's throat in the blink of an eye.

The other party still had a faint smile on his face and did not hide or avoid it. When Lin Qingqing approached, his figure suddenly disappeared from the place.

Lin Qingqing's pupils shrank, and such a strange way of disappearing made her feel bad.

"Slow, too slow, just this speed? How powerful do you think it is? It's nothing more than that!"

A sigh and contemptuous tone came from behind, Lin Qingqing's heart sank, she turned around suddenly, and the sword in her hand fell horizontally.

The sword failed!

The figure of the other party disappeared strangely again. When Lin Qingqing came back to her senses, she saw the other party suddenly stretched out two fingers and stabbed them out suddenly.

Lin Qingqing's expression changed and she raised her sword to block it.

"bite!"

A crisp sound sounded, and the sword in Lin Qingqing's hand seemed to hit something hard.

"Crack!"

There was a cracking sound.

Lin Qingqing took four or five steps back, her face pale and her whole body trembling slightly.

Looking down, he saw that the long sword in his hand was broken in two!

Lin Qingqing's pupils shrank suddenly and she raised her head. The man not far away had a playful smile on his face and slowly put away his fingers.

Lin Qingqing was shocked.

The other party could break her sword with his fingers? !

This level of martial arts strength is definitely far above hers!

etc……

Lin Qingqing seemed to remember something and stared at him: "Are you from the Sikong family?!"

The technique the other party used just now is very similar to the Sikong family's secret skill Xuyang Finger, and the weird movement technique is also very similar to the Sikong family.

"Hey, that's pretty smart!"

The man in gray robe stood on the spot, his eyes became more and more playful: "It seems that after so many years, there are still people who remember our Sikong family!"

Lin Qingqing's face changed slightly, and her eyes became colder: "Back then, the prince was soft-hearted and spared the lives of your Sikong family, but I didn't expect that you would be so ambitious that you would repay kindness with hatred!"

"Spare us?"

The man in gray robe suddenly sneered: "If it hadn't been for Lin Hengzhong back then, how could our Sikong family have fallen to where we are now? This hatred will never be forgotten by our Sikong family!"

More than ten years ago, the Sikong family was a well-known family rising in the world, with a promising future.

However, all this was ruined by Lin Hengzhong!

"You, the Sikong family, are so ruthless that you, as a member of a well-established family, have killed your fellow disciples. You are so cruel that you deserve death!"

Lin Qingqing spoke coldly.

The gray-robed man sneered: "Who can tell the difference between justice in the world? But Lin Hengzhong killed my clansman, and my father died tragically at his hands. Naturally, this debt must be settled on him!"

"Since Lin Hengzhong is hiding in Linzhou and being a coward, then I will kill his son!"

Lin Qingqing's face was ashen and expressionless: "As long as I'm here, you can't even think of succeeding!"

"Just you?"

The man in gray robe glanced at her disdainfully: "Your martial arts are indeed good, but... you're still far from good!"

"The rumored to be the most powerful personal maid around Prince Lin is nothing more than that!"

The man in gray robe shook his head slightly, then looked up at the inn upstairs and sneered: "Prince Lin, it's time to come out and die!"

The sound was loud and deafening.

There was no movement upstairs.

"Since you don't come out, I'll catch you!"

The man in gray robe sneered and walked upstairs to the inn.

"Stop him!"

Lin Qingqing's voice was cold, and the next second, several black-armored figures stood in front of him.

"Are you Prince Lin's personal soldier?"

The man in gray robe glanced at it and sneered: "Just right, I also want to see if it's your armor that's harder, or my fingers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in gray robe moved. As his internal energy surged, his strange figure shuttled among the crowd.

At the same time, the black-armored guards who were standing in front of the gray-robed man also moved. Their skilled and tacit martial arts skills surrounded the gray-robed man. As soon as they met, the gray-robed man realized that he was a little careless.

The methodical offensive of these well-trained pro-army troops in front of him made it difficult for him to escape for a while.

Sikong Li's Xuyang Finger is indeed the secret skill of Sikong family. The sharp fingering technique can leave a deep mark on the dark armor. If there is no armor protection, I am afraid that he will directly penetrate the body.

But with the protection of the armor, the power of Sikong Li's Virtual Yang Finger was greatly reduced. At the same time, the martial arts of the black-armored guards were not weak. Coupled with their tacit cooperation and Lin Qingqing's harassment, Sikong Li was actually a little embarrassed. He retreated and was trapped in it for a moment.

"Tsk, tsk, you can't even deal with a bunch of guards, Sikong Li, you are so embarrassed!"

At this moment, a Jie Jie sneered.

Lin Qingqing's eyes suddenly condensed, is there anyone else? !

At the same time, Sikong Li was forced to take a few steps back, gritted his teeth and cursed angrily behind him.

"Gu Chaosheng, stop talking sarcastically and come out to help!"

"..."
