Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 12
[Chapter 12: I’ll take your life]
Zhao Lingyin looked at Lin Xiu coldly: “I haven’t seen you for a long time, and you’re flirting with other girls again.”
This sister-in-law can’t be kept anymore, not even flirting with other girls, let alone riding a horse. The marriage contract must be resolved as soon as possible.
Although she thought so in her heart, Lin Xiu still explained: “You misunderstood. I met an assassin last night. If it weren’t for Dali, I wouldn’t be able to see you today. Dali was poisoned because of saving me. The one just now was the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital. She saved Dali, and I have to thank her…”
“Assassin!”
Zhao Lingyin’s face changed and asked: “Are you okay?”
Lin Xiu said: “I’m fine, but Dali was injured to protect me and hasn’t woken up yet.”
How could Lin Xiu meet an assassin? Zhao Lingyin thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said: “Qin Cong!”
Qin Cong suffered a great loss at the hands of Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin yesterday. With his vengeful character, he has enough motivation to act.
Zhao Lingyin turned and left without giving Lin Xiu a chance to keep him. In fact, Lin Xiu felt that Qin Cong was not responsible for the assassination last night, but Qin Cong deserved to die. It would be good for Lingyin to make him suffer.
She was measured in her actions and would not kill Qin Cong, but she would not let him feel good.
When Lin Xiu returned to the room, Sun Dali had already woken up. To be honest, after being betrayed by this guy several times, Lin Xiu thought he would run away last night, but he did not expect that he would face the poisoned flying knife with his body without hesitation.
Lin Xiu walked to the bed, patted Sun Dali’s shoulder gently, and said, “Thank you.”
Sun Dali looked disapproving and said, “I am the young master’s bodyguard, and it is my duty to protect the young master.”
Lin Xiu glanced at him and asked, “Where were you when Lingyin beat me?”
Sun Dali smiled innocently and said, “This is different…”
Sun Dali got up to eat. Mrs. Ping’an ordered the kitchen to prepare a full table of food for him. He was strong and had a big appetite, and he rarely ate so much.
Lin Xiu hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday. He and Sun Dali ate a few bites together. Ping’an Bo walked to the door and said to him, “Xiu’er, come here. Your mother and I have something to tell you.”
Lin Xiu followed him to the study, where Ping’an Bo’s wife was already there.
Being alone with them, Lin Xiu still felt a little uncomfortable and asked, “What’s the matter?”
He still couldn’t say the words “father” and “mother” to two strangers.
Ping An Bo pondered for a moment and asked, “Xiu’er, do you still remember that you have an engagement with the Zhao family?”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “I know.”
He was trying to find a way to convince Ping An Bo and his wife to cancel this unreliable arranged marriage. Since they took the initiative to bring it up, Lin Xiu took the opportunity to say, “But I think that this engagement is not a good thing for both families. Can we discuss with the Zhao family and cancel this engagement?”
Ping An Bo and his wife were very surprised to hear this. Ping An Bo asked in surprise, “Xiu’er, do you think so too?”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “The Zhao family is now very different from us, and that girl is a spoiled child. How can our Lin family marry up to her? It’s better to cancel it early, which is good for both families. “
Hearing this, Ping’an Bo showed a look of relief and said, “Xiu’er, it’s the best that you can think this way. Your mother and I also mean the same thing. Instead of being dragged down by the engagement, it’s better to cancel it directly and find you a wife of equal status. Get married as soon as possible so that we can have grandchildren…”
Lin Xiu was shocked. Canceling the engagement with the Zhao family and marrying him a new one, isn’t this just escaping from the tiger’s mouth and entering the wolf’s den? Lin Xiu hurriedly said, “Don’t be so anxious, I’m only eighteen…”
Ping’an Bo’s wife said, “Eighteen is not young. When mother was eighteen, you were already in my belly…”
Lin Xiu felt a headache and hurriedly fled here on the pretext of having a stomachache.
…
On the streets of the royal capital.
Qin Cong had just come out of a restaurant with two servants.
Although he broke several ribs yesterday, with his ability, it didn’t affect his movements much. It only took half a month to recover completely.
But his hatred with Lin Xiu was completely forged. If he couldn’t afford to offend Zhao Lingyin, could he not afford to offend Lin Xiu?
Just when Qin Cong was thinking about how to retaliate, he suddenly felt a chill, and then a beautiful face appeared in his eyes.
This face was beautiful, but to Qin Cong, it was like a sting. He subconsciously stepped back two steps and said vigilantly: “Zhao Lingyin, what do you want to do now!”
Zhao Lingyin asked coldly: “Did you do the assassination of Lin Xiu?”
Qin Cong was stunned at first, then his face showed ecstasy, and he asked: “What, Lin Xiu was assassinated, what happened, is he dead?”
The temperature in the air dropped sharply, Qin Cong shivered, and then seemed to understand something, immediately looked at Zhao Lingyin, and explained: “Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t do this, I’m not crazy , how could he do such a thing? “
Only at this moment did he realize that Zhao Lingyin was here to settle accounts with him, and he explained repeatedly: “Lin Xiu and I have grievances, but those are all minor conflicts. I was just wronged by him and sat in jail for two hours. It’s not a big deal, it’s really not worth it…”
Qin Cong’s performance did not seem to be lying. Zhao Lingyin glanced at him coldly and turned to leave, but Qin Cong asked urgently: “What’s going on? When was Lin Xiu assassinated? Is he dead? Can I go to the Lin Mansion to pay my condolences…”
Zhao Lingyin, who was about to leave, turned around again after hearing this.
Not long after, a burst of extremely shrill screams came from the street, one after another. The patrolling guards who hurried over just took a look from a distance and turned away tacitly…
Lin Mansion.
Lin Xiu looked at Zhao Lingyin tentatively and asked, “What did you do to Qin Cong?”
Zhao Lingyin said, “Nothing, I just broke a few of his ribs.”
Lin Xiu was silent for a moment, then he said, “In fact, the assassination yesterday should not have been done by him.”
Zhao Lingyin was not surprised at all and said, “I know.”
Lin Xiu was stunned and said, “I know you broke a few more of his ribs?”
Zhao Lingyin looked at him and said, “I know everything about the Qingli Division. This man deserves to die. Breaking a few of his ribs is a bargain for him.”
It seems that Lingyin has a heart of justice like himself. Lin Xiu stopped talking about this topic. Thinking of something, he asked, “The assassin yesterday was a bit strange. He punched out and produced a sonic boom, but his ability didn’t seem to be strength. I don’t know what that ability is?”
Zhao Lingyin punched out and asked, “Is that so?”
Boom!
As she punched, a dull sound came out in the air.
Lin Xiu was surprised and asked, “What is this?”
Zhao Lingyin explained, “True Qi is the power of martial arts practice, which is different from the art of cultivation.”
Lin Xiu has been immersed in the art of cultivation these days and has never heard of martial arts. He only knows that there is a martial arts academy next to the art of cultivation. Is there any relationship between the two?
Zhao Lingyin is always very patient with Lin Xiu on the issue of cultivation.
She thought about it and said, “Martial arts is another way different from the art of cultivation. The assassin practiced martial arts, but his strength is not high, otherwise he would not be killed by your guards.”
After Lingyin’s explanation, Lin Xiu knew that in addition to the art of cultivation, there was another way of cultivation in this world.
The art of cultivation is like a gift from God. Some people are born with magical abilities. After awakening, their strength is even stronger.
But God does not favor everyone. For thousands of years, ordinary people who have not awakened the art of cultivation have gradually found a way, that is, the road of martial arts.
A powerful art of cultivation can move mountains and fill the sea, and a peak martial arts master can also break a mountain with a sword.
Compared to the art of martial arts, the road of martial arts is more difficult. Although everyone can practice it, there are very few people who can practice it to a high level. Therefore, in this world, the presence of martial arts is naturally much less than that of the art of martial arts.
But this does not mean that martial arts are weaker than the art of martial arts. The real martial arts masters are not inferior to the most powerful masters of the art of martial arts. It’s just that such masters are too rare, and martial arts are difficult to practice, which makes martial arts masters rarer than high-level masters of the art of martial arts.
Lin Xiu can’t fight with the art of martial arts at all now, but he can try to practice martial arts first. With his strength far beyond that of ordinary people, it should be easier for him to practice than ordinary people.
Lingyin also told him that the Academy of the Art of Martial Arts also has teachers who teach martial arts. When the academy opens in a month, he should focus more on this aspect.
Just as Lin Xiu was planning his future, Qin Cong walked into the Qin Mansion, cursing.
Yesterday, he was beaten up by Zhao Lingyin. Today, he just went out for dinner, but he was beaten up again. Although he had asked the imperial physician to fix the bone, his chest still hurt. He put the blame on Lin Xiu.
In recent days, he has been unlucky.
First, he met the ungrateful woman from the Wang family, and then he provoked Zhao Lingyin. Qin Cong has been unlucky everywhere.
His father has already found someone to settle the case of the woman from the Wang family. He has to find someone to watch the old man to prevent him from causing trouble again.
Although Qin Cong is not afraid of trouble, he doesn’t want to make trouble. However
, the person who assassinated Lin Xiu was really not sent by him. He is not crazy, so how could he do such a thing? Who is it? Could it be…
A figure appeared in his mind, and a trace of fear appeared in Qin Cong’s eyes. He dared not continue to associate.
After being beaten up twice in two days, Qin Cong felt like he was falling apart. After returning home, he walked into his room and planned to rest for a while.
When he closed the door and walked to the bed, he suddenly found that there was another person in the room.
It was a woman in black, with almond eyes, a beautiful nose, and a very beautiful face. Her hair was tied up high behind her head. Although she was a woman, she did not have the gentleness of a woman, and looked very heroic.
When Qin Cong walked in just now, there was nothing in that place. Qin Cong initially thought that it was a surprise prepared for him by the servants, but he soon found something wrong.
There was no panic on the woman’s face, and her expression was as cold as a piece of ice that had been frozen for thousands of years.
Qin Cong became 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 came to get something.”
Qin Cong frowned and said, “What for?”
The woman looked at him and said calmly, “Take your dog’s life.”
Thank you Ying Mowu for the reward.
