Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 210

[Chapter 210 Qin Wan’s Craftsmanship]

The next morning, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan had breakfast together in the lobby of the inn.

Some female guests looked at Qin Wan with envy. Her husband was really good to her. He fed her the bowl of porridge one spoonful at a time. Thinking about her own husband, she had to serve everything by herself, and she couldn’t help but feel angry.

Why didn’t she have such a fate?

Lin Xiu patiently put the spoon to Qin Wan’s mouth and whispered, “Open your mouth.”

Qin Wan opened her rosy lips, and Lin Xiu fed the spoonful of porridge into her mouth.

Because Qin Wan used her hands too much last night, her wrists were weak in the morning, so Lin Xiu fed her breakfast.

After all, he also had an unshirkable responsibility for all this.

He used his own experience to prove that you must never believe in girlfriends and male besties, going out to travel together and doing nothing along the way.

A single man and a widow, inseparable, can shorten the distance to zero in just two days.

A few more days, it may become negative.

But should I say it or not, Qin Wan is still quite responsible.

She did not run away after teasing, but she lit the fire and put it out herself. She learned a lot of tricks from the book. Although she was a little unfamiliar at the beginning, under Lin Xiu’s teaching, her skills soon became mature.

This summer has just begun, and the summer in the royal capital is even hotter. Lin Xiu began to look forward to every night in the future.

After breakfast, before Lin Xiu and Qin Wan had time to go upstairs, Zhuang Yan walked in from outside. Seeing them, he walked up quickly and said, “Mr. Lin, Miss Qin, come with me to the government office. There is news about those people from the Tiandao League.” Lin Xiu’s

expression was normal, but her heart was in turmoil. She followed Zhuang Yan to the government office.

Jin Tai and others were already waiting in the yard.

Lin Xiu asked, “Where are the people from the Tiandao League?”

Jin Tai said, “Outside the city, they went south at dawn.”

Lin Xiu was surprised and said, “How is this possible? The four city gates are all sealed. How did they get out? Could it be that there are people among them who can fly?”

Jin Tai said to everyone, “According to the news from the undercover this morning, last night, before we took action, someone warned the rebels of the Tiandao League, so they fled in advance. That person has the ability to fly and later took all of them out of the city.” As soon as

these words came out, everyone present no longer had any suspicion.

Among all the people here, only Jin Tai can fly.

Jin Tai continued with a gloomy face, “That person’s name is Li Xiaoyao. He actually planted spies in the court. Huang Tao was assassinated and the assassination of the third son was also done by this person…”

Lin Xiu’s eyes gleamed, and the inner ghost was indeed among those people last night.

Only they knew these details.

What can be confirmed at present is that the traitor was planted by the Zhang family in the Tiandao League. It is just unknown how he sent the message to Jin Tai without being discovered by anyone.

However, the undercover agent did not expect that the undercover agent of the Tiandao League was also among the people sent by the court.

Those people have not been arrested yet, and his own identity has been exposed.

As long as this news is told to A Ke and others, with their understanding of the alliance, they should be able to find him out soon.

From this point of view, it is a good thing that the traitor is so eager to send a message.

Lu Fang asked: “Is the news true?”

Jin Tai was sure: “It can’t be wrong.”

Lin Xiu knew very well that with the vigilance of A Ke and others, it was unlikely that the traitor wanted to pass on the message blatantly. It should be through some unconventional ability.

However, even if he knew about this, Lin Xiu could not go to remind them in person, otherwise he would be exposed.

Soon, Jin Tai said to everyone: “Set out immediately to capture the rebels. There are nine rebels in the Tiandao League, three of whom are at the Earth level, and the rest are at the Mysterious level. If you encounter any rebels, you can kill them on the spot.”

At this time, Lu Fang asked again: “Wait, is our undercover also among these nine people? Don’t hurt your own people at that time.”

Lin Xiu agreed with his words very much, and said with deep conviction: “That makes sense…”

Jin Tai thought about it, and there will definitely be a melee in a while. If he kills his own people by mistake, the loss will be great.

This person has special abilities and is most suitable for undercover communication. If something happens to him, his own merits will be greatly reduced. Jin Tai was silent for a moment and said: “He is about the same height as Zhuang Yan and about the same thinness as Lu Fang. When we catch up with the group of rebels, he will immediately turn against us. Don’t hurt him at that time…”

Several people nodded and said: “I understand.”

Lin Xiu also understood.

He recalled a little, and a figure emerged in his mind.

The man’s surname was Yang, and he was one of the people who questioned Lin Xiu last night. Zheng Li had an unpleasant experience with him because of this.

Lin Xiu originally thought that his doubts were just out of caution, for the safety of everyone. Now it seems that at that time, he should have wanted to find out the identity of the Tiandao League undercover in the court.

However, he didn’t know that the so-called undercover was just Lin Xiu’s fabrication. If

there must be an undercover, it might be Xiaolan and Xiaolu.

Lin Xiu glanced casually at the birds that landed on the eaves of the government office. Soon, one of them flapped its wings and flew quickly to the south.

After a while, several fast horses galloped out of the city gate and also went to the south.

At this time, in the dense forest dozens of miles south of Ningshan Prefecture, several figures were slowly moving forward.

A little girl followed behind A Ke, chattering: “Sister A Ke, when did you meet him, how did you meet, will you get married in the future…”

A Ke ignored her, and an old man beside her said: “This little brother is really powerful. The capital has always been our forbidden area. Except for Miss A Ke, few people can move there. He entered the mansion of the top dignitaries as if he were in an empty space. Even the three sons of the Zhang family died at his hands…”

Zheng Li smiled and said: “What’s the matter, Brother Xiaoyao is not alone, he has some like-minded friends behind him, and they are all powerful people.”

At the end of the crowd, a man raised his eyebrows, and soon returned to indifference.

A Ke smiled, but did not say anything. At this time, a bird suddenly flew down from the sky and landed on her shoulder.

Seeing this bird, everyone’s expression was condensed.

Last night, it was because of the reminder of this bird that they were saved.

Now that the spirit bird has reappeared, could it be that something has happened again?

The next moment, the parrot said, “Captain Yang is an undercover agent, your whereabouts have been exposed, hide quickly…” As

soon as the bird’s voice fell, several eyes looked at the last man in the crowd.

The man’s eyes flashed with panic for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal and said blankly, “I, I am an undercover agent?”

Everyone looked at the bird, confused for a moment.

The captain of the Tiandao League is not someone who can do anything.

Every captain has made great contributions to the Tiandao League and the people, and can only be promoted after a long period of observation. They dare not believe that the captain is an undercover agent, nor do they want to believe it.

Another man dressed as a farmer shook his head and said, “This is impossible. Old Yang and I have been through life and death countless times in the past two years. He even saved my life. How could he be an undercover agent?”

The old man surnamed Zhao was silent for a moment and said, “This is related to the lives of all brothers. It is better to believe it than not. If Old Yang is not an undercover agent, I will personally apologize to you and ask for credit for you from the protector. Now, I’m sorry…”

After saying that, he strode towards Captain Yang, intending to knock him out first.

But at this time, Captain Yang took a step back and said, “Brothers for so long, you suspect I am an undercover agent because of a bird?”

Old Zhao looked at him and said, “Don’t forget, this bird saved all of us last night.”

The man surnamed Yang slowly retreated, his expression could no longer remain calm.

He couldn’t fall into the hands of these people, otherwise, once they found that the court people chased out of the city, they would definitely guess that the traitor was among them. They had already begun to suspect him, and they would directly confirm it at that time.

He still couldn’t figure out how he was exposed?

There was clearly no flaw in his performance in the Tiandao League. When carrying out missions, he fought harder than most people and killed so many bullies and bandits that he couldn’t even count them. In just two years, he went from being an ordinary gang member to the position of the helmsman.

For this operation, he had been forbearing for two years. He

thought that after the successful completion of this operation, he would be able to retire and enjoy countless wealth and glory, but at the most critical moment, his identity was exposed.

He soon realized that the undercover of the court was among the people involved in this operation.

But he knew it too late.

The man who had just spoken for him looked at him angrily and incredulously, and said in a deep voice: “Old Yang, it’s really you. It was you who leaked the news of the rally, and it was you who told the court our whereabouts…”

He couldn’t pretend anymore at this moment, and didn’t say another word. He turned around decisively and ran in the direction he came from.

But someone was faster than him. Zheng Li was extremely angry, and his whole body was full of energy. He shot out from the spot like an arrow from a bow. He caught up with him in a few breaths, knocked him out with a palm knife, and then carried him back.

He had a fierce expression and gritted his teeth and said, “Damn it, he was an undercover agent and almost killed all of us. I really want to kill him with a palm!”

A Ke said, “The most important thing now is to leave here and find a place to hide. Those people are catching up. We are not their opponents and cannot fight them head-on…”

After receiving the reminder, everyone in the Tiandao League made a prompt decision and immediately changed direction and headed for the dense forest in the west.

Just a quarter of an hour later, several figures rode past here and galloped forward.

Whoosh!

Two quarters of an hour later, Jin Tai stopped the horse, looked around, and said decisively: “They just set off not long ago. It’s impossible for them to go so far just by foot!”

Lu Fang followed him and asked: “Did we chase in the wrong direction?”

Jin Tai said: “No, he said the south.”

He jumped off the horse and took out a bronze mirror from his arms.

Lu Fang glanced at him and asked: “It’s time, you still have time to look in the mirror?”

Jin Tai glanced at him and said: “What do you know, this is the ability of the undercover, this thing is used for communication.”

Lin Xiu finally understood why Jin Tai could get the news of A Ke and others so quickly.

There are really all kinds of strange abilities in this world. He was a little curious about how this bronze mirror communicated. If he could have this ability, it would be much easier to communicate with his family outside in the future.

However, he saw that Jin Tai had been fiddling with it for a long time, and there was no change in the bronze mirror in his hand.

Jin Tai showed confusion on his face and whispered: “Impossible, why is there no response?”

He looked at the bronze mirror in his hand and frowned.

After a while, everyone learned from Jin Tai that the undercover agent of the Zhang family lurking in the Tiandao League had awakened a very special ability that could communicate over long distances through a mirror, which made several people marvel.

This strange ability was simply unheard of.

But there was nothing to be surprised about. No one knew how many kinds of abilities there were, and new abilities would be discovered every once in a while.

The problem now was that Jin Tai had lost contact with the undercover agent.

Several people have been waiting here for an hour, and the bronze mirror has not changed at all. The result seems to be obvious. Lu Fang couldn’t help but said, “Could it be that he was discovered by the people of the Tiandao League when he was sending a message, and his identity was exposed?”

Jin Tai’s face has become very ugly.

Although Lu Fang is a bit of a jinx, what he said may be true.

After so long, at this critical moment, he must have tried every means to contact him. There is no movement, it can only be that he is in trouble. For

this mission, the Tiandao League has their undercover agents, and they thought it was a sure thing, a credit picked up for nothing, but who would have thought that until now, they have not even seen the face of the Tiandao League rebels.

Without the undercover agent to send a message, they have become headless flies, losing their goals and directions.

After another hour, the bronze mirror in Jin Tai’s hand still did not respond, and several people were getting a little impatient.

Zhuang Yan suggested, “It’s not a good idea to wait here, why don’t you go back to the city first and then make a long-term plan?”

Jin Tai looked at the bronze mirror in his hand and could only say, “Go back and wait.”

This wait lasted for three days.

During these three days, his contact with the undercover agent was completely cut off, which also meant that their mission failed. Not only did they fail to catch a traitor, but they also lost the undercover agent they had planted with great difficulty.

Jin Tai punched the stone table in the yard, and the stone table suddenly broke into pieces. He gritted his teeth and said, “Damn traitor, if I know who you are, I will definitely cut you into pieces!” He

hated the traitor who was hiding in the court and ruined their entire plan.

At this time, two figures walked in from outside the door.

Lin Xiu looked at Jin Tai and others and said, “You are all here. It has been so long, and there is still no news. It may be impossible to catch those traitors this time. The small competition is coming soon, and we must not fall behind in our practice. We are here today to say goodbye to you.”

He and Qin Wan were neither court officials nor disciples of the powerful. It was impossible for them to stay here all the time.

Jin Tai and others obviously understood this truth. These young geniuses came here just to get some credit and pave the way for their future. Now that they can’t get any credit, there is naturally no need to stay here.

Jin Tai clasped his fists to them and said, “Thank you for your hard work these days.”

Lin Xiu said, “I’m ashamed that I haven’t helped at all these days.”

Jin Tai said, “This can’t be blamed on you. It can only be blamed on those traitors who are too cunning, and that damned inner ghost…”

After saying goodbye to a few people, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan embarked on the return journey.

This time, he seemed to have done nothing, but in fact he gained a lot.

First of all, he contacted the organization, met A Ke, and agreed to meet her in the future. Secondly, his relationship with Qin Wan has taken many steps forward. Strictly speaking, she is already half of his woman.

However, although their relationship progressed quickly, the relationship between the two seemed to be dominated by Qin Wan.

Lin Xiu couldn’t get the initiative at all.

She was sometimes enthusiastic, sometimes reserved, half-hearted, reluctant but willing, and every time she could touch his itch, making people unable to stop. Lin Xiu was very curious. What kind of books did she usually read? Why was she so good at it? Was it a talent?

Two days later, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan returned to the capital.

He first went to the Lin Mansion and reported his safety to his parents, and then came to the wedding residence. As soon as he entered the yard, he heard a melodious sound of the piano.

Caiyi was playing the piano. After just a few days of not seeing her, her piano skills had improved significantly. Zhao Lingjun stood aside and listened. At a glance, it was a picture of a harmonious relationship between wife and concubine.

Suddenly, the sound of the piano stagnated, and a figure flew into Lin Xiu’s arms, happily saying, “Husband, you are back!”

Zhao Lingjun looked at them and said, “I’m going out for a while and will be back later.”

After that, she turned and left.

Lin Xiu hugged Caiyi and turned around in the yard, smiling and asked, “I haven’t seen my wife for a few days. Do you miss me?”

Caiyi nodded shyly.

Lin Xiu picked her up and said, “How much you miss me? Let’s go to the room and talk slowly.”

A short separation is better than a new marriage,

and dry wood meets a raging fire. His wife is of course different from that enchantress Qin Wan.

What follows is naturally an indescribable passion.

An hour later, Caiyi was so tired that she fell asleep. Lin Xiu covered her with a quilt. When he went out, he happened to meet Zhao Lingjun who had returned.

He paused and said, “Thank you for taking care of Caiyi these days.”

Zhao Lingjun said, “We are a family, it’s my duty.”

During these days away from the capital, Lin Xiu was actually very at ease. He didn’t have to worry about his family at all.

Because Zhao Lingjun was at home.

He knew that she would protect her parents and Caiyi. To some extent, Lin Xiu trusted her more than himself. Her name alone could deter countless villains.

Zhao Lingjun looked into the courtyard and asked softly, “Did the mission go smoothly this time?”

Lin Xiu thought for a moment and said, “It was smooth, but it wasn’t smooth either. We didn’t catch anyone from the Tiandao League, and there was no conflict. It was almost a wasted trip…”

Although they had been married for a few months, Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun had only spoken a few words to each other. This was the first time she asked Lin Xiu these things.

It was just a normal inquiry, but it was a bit strange between them.

Zhao Lingjun asked a question, Lin Xiu answered it, and then the two didn’t know what to say.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Lingjun said, “I’m going back to my room to practice.”

Lin Xiu said, “I still have something to do. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye…”

…

After leaving the wedding residence, Lin Xiu came to Xue’s house.

The awkwardness of getting along with Zhao Lingjun was soon diluted by the comfort of being with Ning’er.

Today, Duke Xue was not here, so she could boldly snuggle in Lin Xiu’s arms, poking his chest muscles and then his abdominal muscles, like a little nympho, with a satisfied look on her face.

She lay in Lin Xiu’s arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said, “You must practice well, I’m still waiting for you to marry me next year…”

The competition among the nations will be held in the spring of next year, which means that at this time next year, they will be able to hug each other openly like this.

Lin Xiu put his face against hers and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely let you marry in style next year.”

When he and Ning’er were together, they were always very affectionate. They would just hug each other and talk for a whole day until it got dark. Lin Xiu finally said goodbye to her reluctantly.

When he walked out of the yard, Lin Xiu saw a figure standing in front of him. He didn’t know how long he had been standing there.

Lin Xiu walked forward and clasped his fists and said, “Meet Mr. Xue.”

Old Duke Xue glanced at him and said, “You’re back.”

Lin Xiu said, “Brother Zhuang has already told me. I’m sorry to have troubled Mr. Xue.”

Old Duke Xue snorted and said, “I don’t want to care about your life or death, but I don’t want Ning’er to be sad.”

Lin Xiu now knows Old Duke Xue very well. He is a very interesting old man with a sharp tongue and a soft heart.

Old Duke Xue looked at him and asked, “What’s the matter between you and the little girl from the Qin family? She lives in your house, holds your hand, and lives in the same room with you. Don’t tell me that she is also your woman?”

Lin Xiu coughed and said, “Not yet…”

Old Duke Xue narrowed his eyes and asked, “Do you mean, will she be in the future?”

This time, Lin Xiu was embarrassed to answer.

But it also means tacit consent.

Old Duke Xue heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I regret it now. Why did I agree to you at the beginning? I should have broken your legs and thrown you out of the Xue Mansion at that time, so that you would never see Ning’er again…”

Lin Xiu actually understood Old Duke Xue’s thoughts.

If he had a granddaughter who liked someone like him, he would feel the same way.

Breaking two legs is considered a light punishment.

It’s a pity that he is not the grandfather who is worried, but the bastard who steals hearts.

Daxia is not good in any way. There are no mobile phones, no computers, and no entertainment he is familiar with, but there is one thing that can never be compared with the past.

He can live with Caiyi, Ning’er, Qin Wan, and the women he likes legally. Not only legal, but also the emperor can grant marriage.

This is his paradise.

Old Duke Xue finally did not break Lin Xiu’s legs, but just asked him to get out quickly, saying that he didn’t want to see him for the time being.

When he returned to the new house, Qin Wan had already prepared the meal, but she did not move her chopsticks. Instead, she sat in the yard, supporting her chin with both hands and waiting for him.

Seeing Lin Xiu come in, she took the food to the kitchen to warm up, like a wife waiting for her husband to come home late, and asked, “Why are you back so late?”

Lin Xiu said, “I went to Xue’s house.”

Qin Wan curled her lips and said, “You’ve been away for so long, why is Xue Ning’er so clingy…”

Lin Xiu glanced at her. When it comes to clinginess, she is not inferior to Ning’er at all. She held his hand all day and never let go.

While eating, Qin Wan thought of something and asked, “When we were in Ningshan Mansion, the man from the Xue family saw us together. He won’t tell the Xue family, right?”

Lin Xiu said, “He told me. Old Duke Xue just asked me if you are my woman.”

Qin Wan looked at him and asked, “What did you say?”

Lin Xiu said, “I said not yet, but I will be in the future.”

A smile appeared on Qin Wan’s pretty face. She picked up a piece of food and fed it to Lin Xiu’s mouth, saying, “You are responsible. I will reward you with a taste of my cooking.”

Although Lin Xiu fed Qin Wan before, this was the first time she fed him. The dishes she cooked were naturally impeccable. Lin Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said, “Very good…”

Qin Wan rolled her eyes at him and said, “What do you mean by very good? I’m not talking about this cooking…”
