Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 201

[Chapter 201 Living Together]

Lin Xiu had never thought that there was an undercover agent in the Tiandao League.

Although he didn’t know about the gathering, Captain Zheng said that he would take him to find A Ke in a month. What he said was most likely this gathering.

This was a problem. It seemed that many high-level leaders of the Tiandao League would participate in this gathering. If they were all wiped out, it would be an unbearable blow to the Tiandao League, which was already short of manpower and did not have many strong people.

Moreover, A Ke would be in danger.

Seeing that Lin Xiu looked embarrassed, the dean of the Academy of Strange Arts thought that he was worried about the danger of this trip, so he said: “If you don’t want to go, you can refuse. The court will transfer some people from other places. By the way, if Miss Zhao has nothing to do these days…”

Lin Xiu was shocked. If Zhao Lingjun took action, they might not be able to escape.

He immediately said, “She’s very busy, so I’ll go. This is a good opportunity for me to hone my skills.”

The dean looked at Qin Wan again and asked, “Where’s Miss Qin?”

Qin Wan said, “I’ll go if he goes.”

The dean of the Yishu Academy looked at them for a while, paused for a moment, and said, “Then when you go back, prepare yourself. You may have to leave in the next two days…”

After leaving the Yishu Academy, Lin Xiu said to Qin Wan, “Are you going too?”

Qin Wan glanced at him and asked, “What do you think?” Lin Xiu

laughed and asked, “Does this count as you can’t leave me?”

Qin Wan said lightly, “Do you think you can leave me?”

Lin Xiu thought about it. Qin Wan had completely integrated into his life. If he left her, he would not be able to adapt. What’s more, he also needed Qin Wan’s help for many things he wanted to do but couldn’t do in reality.

After lunch, Lin Xiu went out alone.

A moment later, high in the sky, he flew towards the direction of Jiangnan Prefecture at an extreme speed.

The news of the rally had been exposed, so naturally it could no longer proceed according to the original plan.

Moreover, the traitor in the Tiandao League must be found as soon as possible, otherwise future actions will be exposed.

Flying at full speed, Lin Xiu landed in the city half an hour later.

Last time in Jiangnan, Lin Xiu had already scouted the spot in advance, and soon found the Jimin Pharmacy mentioned by Captain Zheng.

In addition to being a pharmacy, this is also a contact point for the Tiandao League. It is

also the only channel for Lin Xiu to contact them at present.

However, after arriving at this pharmacy, Lin Xiu was stunned.

When he came here a few days ago, it was still open for business. This time, the door of the pharmacy was sealed.

Lin Xiu walked to the tailor shop next to the pharmacy and asked a clerk, “Excuse me, young man, why is Jimin Pharmacy closed? I paid for ten prescriptions a few days ago, but I only got two now…” The clerk shook

his head and said, “You are so unlucky. I heard that the pharmacy next door was in collusion with the Tiandao League and was sealed by the government. I am afraid you will not get your money back.”

Lin Xiu was surprised and said, “Is there such a thing?”

The clerk said, “It is true. There was a fight that day. I didn’t expect that the shopkeeper was a master. He was surrounded by so many people, but he still fought his way out and escaped…”

In the sky, Lin Xiu frowned.

Jimin Pharmacy was the only place where he could contact the Tiandao League. It was exposed like this, and his connection with the organization was cut off.

This is not the most serious.

If it is not closed earlier or later, but at this time, isn’t he the most suspicious?

If it is not a coincidence, then there is an insider who is deliberately framing him.

This traitor was most likely one of the people present at the time.

Captain Zheng had just told him that Jimin Pharmacy belonged to the Tiandao League, so Jimin Pharmacy was closed.

The purpose of the traitor was not only to close a contact station of the Tiandao League, but also to make the Tiandao League suspicious of him.

In Lin Xiu’s mind, he kept replaying the situation at that time, and finally locked on one person.

The man named Xu Xian was very suspicious.

When he brought the Zhang family father and son and the Jiangnan Yin father and son, his expression was different from that of others.

But at this moment, Lin Xiu couldn’t contact Zheng Li, and there was no way to tell them about the undercover, so he could only return to Kyoto first. I

‘m afraid he can’t not go on this mission. Not only does he have to find an opportunity to pass on the message, but he has lost his only way of contact, so he can only contact them through this action.

Before leaving, Lin Xiu went to the Xue family and Changchun Palace, and told Ning’er and the imperial concubine that he was going to carry out a mission and would be back within ten days.

He did not elaborate on the specific mission.

The place he and Qin Wan were going to this time was Ningshan Prefecture.

According to the news from the insider, the Tiandao League held a secret meeting every year. The meeting place this time was in a small town in Ningshan Prefecture. The annual meeting was very important. Basically, people above the level of the helmsman would attend, except for special reasons.

It was precisely because there were many important people present that the meeting place was always kept strictly confidential.

The fact that the news was received so long in advance showed that the level of the insider was not low. It should not be the same person as the insider who framed Lin Xiu in Jiangnan Prefecture.

Lin Xiu could be sure that there were already two insiders.

But this could not be blamed on them. The Tiandao League was originally a spontaneously formed organization. Most of them were probably ordinary people. There were very few magicians and warriors. They were all relying on their passion to resist power and oppression. Countless dignitaries regarded them as thorns in their eyes and wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible. It was not surprising that they would send people to infiltrate the Tiandao League.

At this moment, Jiangnan Prefecture.

On the river, in a black-sailed boat, a man with bandages on his body sighed, “That base has been exposed. I don’t know who leaked the news.”

Zheng Li’s face turned pale. Everyone in the cabin was silent. At a certain moment, someone suddenly looked up and said, “Captain, could it be…”

Zheng Li said categorically, “Impossible, it can’t be him.”

The man shook his head and said, “It seems that Captain, you also know who I’m talking about. For so many years, that base has been peaceful, but after you told him, the government came to find us a few days later. Doesn’t this prove something? ?”

Zheng Li said: “If he is a government official, why did he save us, and why did he capture the Zhang father and son and the Jiangnan Yin father and son? Is it just to find out about this small stronghold of Jiangnan Prefecture?”

The man said: “Those people are mysterious, who knows what they are planning.”

Zheng Li looked at him, and suddenly said: “Old Xu, has the alliance treated you badly over the years?”

The man was stunned for a moment and said: “What are you talking about, the captain? The brothers in the alliance treated me like a brother, and I remember it in my heart.”

Zheng Li sighed and said: “Then why did you Why are you going to betray us?”

The man’s eyelids twitched, and then he said in shock: “Captain, you, what did you say?”

Zheng Li looked at him and said slowly: “At the beginning, it was you who instigated brothers Liu Zhong and Liu Yi to assassinate the dude. After the three of you were arrested, they deliberately postponed the time of your execution, just to catch us all in one fell swoop. But you didn’t expect that brother Xiaoyao showed up and saved us. You were worried that after he joined the Tiandao League, you would have another headache, so you exposed the location of the stronghold so that he could no longer contact us. …, am I right?”

The man’s face was still full of shock, and he said, “Captain, how can you say that? I, Xu Xian, am absolutely loyal to the Tiandao League…”

Zheng Li shook his head and said, “If the base had not been exposed, I would not doubt you, but you have done too much. Over the years, the brothers in the Jiangnan branch have suffered the most casualties. Is it all because of you?”

He placed a dagger in front of the man and said, “We are brothers, you can end it yourself.”

Looking at the dagger, the shock on the man’s face gradually disappeared, and his expression became a little complicated.

Zheng Li asked, “Why?”

The man shook his head and said, “No reason. I was originally an undercover sent by them. How could those high-ranking people tolerate your existence…”

He looked at Zheng Li and several people from the Tiandao League and said slowly, “Those things have nothing to do with you, but you are willing to risk your lives to do them. At first, I thought you were stupid, but later I admired you a little…”

“Although I know that what you are going to do is impossible, I still wish you success.” He took a deep breath and said, “If there is a next life, I hope I can still be your brother, a real brother…”

After a while, Zheng Li looked at the man who fell on the boat and died, with a sad face.

Several other figures around him also fell into a long silence. After a long time, one of them asked, “Captain, the medicine shop has been closed, what should Brother Xiaoyao do?”

Zheng Li thought about it and said, “I can only ask Miss Chen. I will be away for half a month. You stay here and don’t act rashly…”

…

It takes two days to ride a horse from the royal capital to Ningshan Prefecture.

This was the first time that Lin Xiu and Qin Wan carried out a mission without the protection of a trainer. The two left the capital and rode all the way. Before dark, they arrived at a small town. They

stayed here for one night and set off early tomorrow morning. Before dark, they would be able to reach Ningshan Prefecture.

The two entered the city and came to an inn. Lin Xiu walked to the counter and said to the shopkeeper, “Give me two first-class guest rooms.”

Qin Wan stepped forward and said, “Don’t spend money indiscriminately. One is enough.”

The shopkeeper looked at them and asked, “Is it one or two?”

Lin Xiu looked at Qin Wan, his throat moved, and said, “Then one.”

The shopkeeper seemed to understand something and said, “Don’t worry, the beds in our inn are very big. Even if there is one more person, we can sleep…”
