Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 153

[Chapter 153: Die with Unclosed Eyes]

The peaceful streets of the capital suddenly became chaotic in a short period of time.

Countless guards began to run on the streets. When they met a woman in a white dress, they would definitely stop her and question her. Every shop and house was searched one by one.

As time passed, the situation not only did not calm down, but became more serious.

There were more and more guards on the streets, and even worshippers began to fly back and forth in the sky, patrolling back and forth. The four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northeast were all closed, and no one could enter or leave. It was not until this time that the people realized the seriousness of the situation.

At this time, the news that Huang Tao, the second son of the Huang family, was assassinated gradually spread.

Huang Tao was also a notorious one among the many powerful people in the capital. Many innocent daughters of the people were ruined by him, but they were just pariahs in the eyes of the powerful and could not resist the Huang Guogong Mansion. They went to the government to report the case. Some officials advised them to keep quiet, while others directly asked the police to drive them out.

Hearing that Huang Tao was stabbed, the people who had been oppressed by him on weekdays were naturally overjoyed. They almost burned incense and prayed to Buddha at home, thanking the heaven for its eyes.

Even the people who had no grudges against Huang Tao were very happy to hear this news.

At this time, the earth-level warrior stood on a roof, turned his head and looked around, with a shocked and confused expression on his face.

It was impossible. After the female assassin fled, he was obviously the first to chase her, but the female assassin seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Hundreds of guards almost dug the ground three feet nearby, but they didn’t even see her shadow.

Although her ability was to fly, at that time, he paid special attention to the movement in the sky, and she didn’t escape from the sky at all.

There is still a way to survive among the people on the street. Flying into the sky is the most conspicuous target.

When he put the woman on the bed just now, he had checked that she had no weapons on her body, but he ignored the hairpin on her head, which gave her the opportunity.

In any case, this assassin must not be let go. The earth-level warrior gritted his teeth and said, “Keep searching!”

Just as the guards were searching the whole city, Lin Xiu walked back to his house leisurely with his hands behind his back.

The assassin that the whole city is searching for now is of course him.

After awakening the ability of disguise four times, he can change his body shape, face, and even the length of his hair in a wide range in an instant. It only takes a moment to change from a fairy to an ugly woman.

After the breakthrough in strength, Lin Xiu originally wanted to slowly look for opportunities to get rid of Huang Tao.

What he didn’t expect was that as Caiyi’s fame increased, it actually attracted Huang Tao’s attention, and he even set his sights on Caiyi.

This made Lin Xiu change his mind.

He didn’t plan to wait for opportunities, but to create opportunities himself.

So he disguised himself as a peerless beauty, and deliberately showed his flying ability in front of Huang Tao. With his observation of Huang Tao for many days, he would definitely not miss such an opportunity, and even let his men abduct him back at the first time.

This is due to his understanding of Huang Tao and his confidence in the fairy sister.

When Huang Tao was killed by a hairpin, he probably didn’t expect that the fairy sister would become the king of hell who wanted his life.

Having just completed an important task, Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the house. She saw Lingyin standing in the yard, looking around for something.

Seeing Lin Xiu coming back, she immediately asked, “Have you seen the skirt I hung outside? I just washed it and hung it there last night. How come it’s gone?”

Lin Xiu walked into the yard and said, “Maybe it was blown away by the wind. The wind was quite strong last night.”

Zhao Lingyin said, “Impossible. The wind was stronger the day before yesterday than yesterday. It didn’t blow away the day before yesterday. How could it blow away yesterday?”

Lin Xiu shook her head and said, “Then I don’t know. You don’t suspect that I stole it, do you? Who steals women’s clothes and skirts? If they want to steal, they will steal bellybands…”

After clearing herself of suspicion, Lin Xiu said, “Why don’t you ask Miss Wan’er? Maybe she didn’t pay attention and took it by mistake.”

Qin Wan walked out of the room and said, “I can’t take it by mistake. I can’t wear her clothes.”

Hearing this, Zhao Lingyin was dissatisfied and asked, “Why can’t I wear it? Are you much taller than me?”

Qin Wan looked at her chest and didn’t say anything.

This action would not cause any substantial harm, but it was extremely insulting.

Lingyin’s figure is very good, but it is also normal. Compared with the underdeveloped Princess Minghe, she is naturally proud, but compared with Qin Wan, she is not as good as her.

Their clothes are all tailored to their bodies. Lingyin’s clothes are definitely not suitable for Qin Wan.

A Ke may not be able to wear them at all. Lin Xiu doesn’t know what she ate to grow up. She is so petite, but her breasts are so big. It seems that Qin Wan is not as good as her.

Qin Wan shut up with a look from Qin Wan, and Lin Xiu took the opportunity to sneak back to her room.

Although he took Lingyin’s clothes, he really didn’t do such a bad thing.

It’s because her daily clothes are all of that kind of cool style, which is more suitable for Lin Xiu’s disguise. Who can resist the temptation of a woman who looks like a fairy from heaven?

The next morning, Lin Xiu and Lingyin went to the Yishu Academy together.

The streets of the capital today are obviously much more solemn than the previous few days. The doors of the people are closed, and teams of guards hurried past. Every few meters, a portrait of a woman will be posted on the street.

Originally, there was a portrait of A Ke posted there, but today it was replaced by another woman.

Zhao Lingyin stood under a portrait and said, “This female assassin is so beautiful, and so was the last one. How come all these beautiful women became assassins?”

The artist who drew the wanted poster was also a talent. He had never seen the woman before, but he was able to draw it 90% similar, even the clothes were restored. If Liu Tianxian showed up in the capital, she would probably be arrested immediately. Zhao Lingyin

was about to leave, but her steps suddenly stopped again. She looked at the woman in the portrait and wondered, “Why does her clothes look so familiar…”

Lin Xiu said, “There are many people with similar clothes. Let’s go quickly. Princess Minghe is still waiting.”

The two walked on the street, and the people were still discussing what happened yesterday.

“The second son of the Huang family was assassinated yesterday!”

“You just found out. There was such a big commotion in the city yesterday. The court is still looking for the assassin, and wanted posters are posted all over the city.”

“Anyone who can provide information about the assassin can get a reward of 10,000 taels of silver. If she can be caught, the reward will be as high as 100,000 taels…”

“Hey, even if I know where the assassin is, I won’t tell them. That guy has harmed so many girls, he deserves it!”

“Then you’re probably going to be disappointed. I heard that Huang Tao almost died yesterday, but was saved by the imperial physician and got his life back…”

“God is really blind…”

…

Lin Xiu paused, Zhao Lingyin turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Xiu smiled and said, “Nothing, let’s go.”

Yesterday, he cut Huang Tao’s throat with a hairpin, giving him the same death as Zheng Jian. Logically speaking, he had no chance of survival.

Unless the Earth-level magician bought time for Huang Tao, the Huang family asked Shuangshuang to take action.

In the entire capital, only Shuangshuang has this ability.

No matter how many injuries a person has suffered, as long as he is not dead at the time, Shuangshuang can save him.

With the strength and status of the Huang family, she only needs an order to take action.

Although Lin Xiu regretted this, under the circumstances at the time, the first time he took action, he would be noticed by the two strong men at the door.

If he was an Earth-level warrior or a magician, he could still escape unscathed. If he was entangled by the two, he might not be able to get away in a short time. The guards were patrolling the streets. Once he was dragged, he might never be able to leave.

So he had to kill Huang Tao in the fastest way.

The golden hairpin only needs to raise his hand to cut the throat, which can be done in an instant, making it impossible for the two strong men outside to react, and he has enough time to escape.

From meeting Huang Tao to killing Huang Tao, he cannot show a second ability other than flying, otherwise, the focus of this matter is not that Huang Tao was stabbed, but that the capital of Daxia has a double or multi-ability person, thus attracting everyone’s attention.

The assassination of Huang Tao did not succeed, but there will be opportunities in the future. One’s own safety should always be put first.

Lin Xiu felt a little regretful and walked into the palace with Lingyin.

At this time, Huang’s Mansion.

In Huang Tao’s room, an imperial physician said, “Mr. Huang suffered a fatal injury and lost too much blood yesterday. Although he survived, he is extremely weak. He can only lie in bed and rest for a month and cannot drink alcohol. It is best not to walk around within ten days. As for food, it is recommended to eat light liquid food, supplemented with some chicken soup or fish soup…”

A woman stuffed a stack of silver bills into the imperial physician’s hands and said, “Thank you, imperial physician.”

The imperial physician accepted the silver bills embarrassedly and said, “I’m just seeing you for a follow-up visit. The person you should thank the most is Miss Shuangshuang.”

Naturally, the Huang family would not be ignorant of this little etiquette. Yesterday afternoon, they prepared a generous gift and sent it to the Bai family.

The imperial physician retreated to the door and said, “Let Mr. Huang have a good rest. It’s best not to let anyone disturb him these days.”

The middle-aged couple also retreated to the door. After seeing the imperial physician off, the woman said sternly, “We must catch the assassin. I want to make her suffer this kind of torture!” After

what happened yesterday, Huang Tao, who had just moved out of the Huang family, naturally moved back.

The Huang family was heavily guarded and airtight. For him, it was the safest place. No assassin could do anything here.

After the woman left, she went to the kitchen herself and told the cook to stew a pot of black chicken soup. Then she said to the servants standing in the yard, “Send this soup to the young master’s room and feed him.”

A servant picked up the soup bowl and said respectfully, “Yes, ma’am.”

The servant had an ordinary appearance, was not tall, and looked thin and weak. The woman frowned and asked, “Is he a new servant in the family? He looks clumsy. Can he take good care of the young master?”

The housekeeper behind him said, “Madam, he is a new servant recruited into the mansion two months ago. Although he doesn’t like to talk much, he is loyal and honest, works quickly and diligently, and is more meticulous than some maids. It is because of this that we let him take care of the young master.”

The woman nodded and asked no more questions.

The servant came to Huang Tao’s door with a soup bowl, put it on the ground, then gently pushed the door open, then leaned over to pick up the soup bowl, walked slowly into the room, put it on the table, turned around and closed the door. The whole process was without any noise.

Then, he walked to the bed and whispered, “Master, Madam asked the kitchen to make chicken soup. Do you want to drink it now or later?”

Huang Tao lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale and weak. He didn’t even want to open his eyes. He said, “Now, you feed me.”

The servant returned to the table, served a bowl of chicken soup, walked to the bed, and said, “Master, please open your mouth.”

Huang Tao opened his mouth, but did not drink the chicken soup.

His mouth was covered by a hand, and at the same time, a sharp dagger quickly slashed across his neck.

Huang Tao opened his eyes instantly, his eyes wide open, his eyes full of pain and fear. He wanted to make a sound to call for help, but because his mouth was covered, no sound could be heard.

Blood soon stained the pillow, and the life in Huang Tao’s eyes quickly dissipated.

But he died with his eyes open.

He did not die under the knife of the assassin who could hide himself, and the fairy-like assassin yesterday could not kill him.

However, at this moment, he died at the hands of a lowly servant.

Huang Tao did not even know his name.

He did not know why he killed him.

He did not have the chance to know.

After his body twitched a few times, the life in his eyes completely dissipated, and he lay on the bed, motionless.

The servant helped him cover the quilt, walked to the table, picked up the bowl of warm chicken soup, and drank it all.

Then, he put away the soup bowl, walked to the door, gently opened the door, walked out, and slowly closed the door, and whispered to the guards standing in the yard below: “The young master just fell asleep, don’t make any noise, so as not to wake up the young master.”

Several people nodded slightly, standing there dutifully, not letting any suspicious people approach the young master’s room.

Not only was Huang Tao’s room heavily guarded, but the entire Huang Mansion was also guarded by various sentries, so that even a fly could not get in.

The servant took the soup bowl back to the kitchen, washed the dishes leisurely, and then pushed the kitchen shopping cart, passed through the heavy guards, walked out of the Huang Mansion from the back door, and gradually disappeared in the bustling crowd on the street…
