Shendou Continent

Chapter 105 Blood Splattered on Yuan Ye
For the entire twelfth lunar month, Lin You did not go out in the Hou's residence, and he also spent this year in the Hou's residence.The population of the Hou Mansion is not prosperous, nor is it as wealthy as his uncle, King Huai, and the current Hou Mansion is in a downturn, so this New Year's Eve is relatively uneventful.However, there was nothing wrong with Lin You. He was a cultivator, so he could be still and move.

In the first month of the lunar year, he accompanied Liu Jia to the streets, experiencing Xu Jing's New Year's scenery, which was also full of festive excitement.Liu Jia seemed to have gradually healed her emotional wounds, and getting along with Lin for two months did bring her some relief.Now that she goes shopping on the street, she also has a little staff follower, so she is naturally in a good mood.

Apart from being with Liu Jia these days, Lin You has been practicing earnestly. Regarding the drinking party organized by Li Wei and the Wu brothers and sisters, he declined many times. he.In the last few days of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Youcai drank some wine in the Hou's mansion. The Wu brothers and sisters and Li Wei were also there twice. For Liu Jia's good sister Wu Haili, Lin You also had a good impression of her. Of course, most of them admired her The outspokenness of being a man and a sister.For Wu Haifeng and Li Wei, he neither hated nor knew him very well, but they admired him quite a lot.Wu Haili also has a crush on the handsome Lin You. Beautiful women love heroes, and so does Shendou Continent.If Liu Jia was not by her side, she might want to have something to do with Lin You.However, maybe she also thought that Lin You belonged to Liu Jia in her heart, so she gave up.After getting along with each other a few times, the feelings of the few people became warmer again.When the new year came, Lin You really couldn't shirk it, so he also participated in several activities outside the mansion.

But for him, what he thinks about the most is giving Liu Jia a gift.So he intentionally or unintentionally learned about the situation of King Su's mansion and King Su's activities from others. Since the New Year, he also sneaked into King Su's mansion several times to investigate secretly, and even firmly remembered the appearance of King Su and the place where he was sleeping.There are so many people and things to do during the festival, coupled with his martial arts skills that come and go like the wind, he was able to get away with it.

Soon, Xu Jing's Shangyuan Festival will come, and this day is a festival for appreciating lanterns. Guangchu naturally has not forgotten this custom that has been passed down from the Shendou Empire.In fact, according to the customs of Guangchu, there are lantern-burning activities from the fourteenth to the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, during the Lantern Festival, there will be scenes of "women going out in the streets and alleys, from night to day, mixing men and women", and officials will distribute red seeds, and dignitaries and common people will enjoy the Lantern Festival together.And on such a day, the guards' vigilance is often the lowest.Lin You planned to retrieve the gift for Liu Jia that night.After waiting for more than a month, it's time to pick it up.

Another day passed, and finally came the Shangyuan Festival.

In Xujing City, every household puts up lanterns and festoons at the door, and the streets and alleys in the city are all decorated. People enjoy lanterns, eat glutinous rice balls, guess lantern riddles, and set off fireworks in the market. Even more blowing down, the stars are like rain", so lively.

Lin You also accompanied Liu Jia and Liu Yang out of the mansion.The young master and the eldest lady wanted to enjoy the lanterns and appointed Lin You to accompany them, but Lin You had no choice but to accompany them first.On the Lantern Festival, Miss Liu was naturally in a good mood, and she took her two younger brothers to run around, walking around, looking around, stopping and watching, and having a great time.One place after another, it took a long time, and finally I finished visiting Xu Jing's main lantern appreciation places, ate glutinous rice balls, guessed the lantern fans, and set off a lot of fireworks. Get up and go home.

This lantern viewing is not bad, but guessing lantern riddles baffled Lin You.He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, although he has been taught by Chen Zhang and his master's family, his knowledge is limited after all.There was a riddle just now—my father-in-law, he couldn't figure out a single word.The level of Liu Jia and Liu Yang is also half a catty and eighty two, this Jingnan Hou's mansion was established with martial arts, he understands it.A man with the appearance of a wit answered the answer——Zhou, the father-in-law is the father-in-law, and the word father-in-law cooperates, isn't it a battle?Talented scholars who answered lantern riddles correctly received a lot of favor, which made Lin You and others very envious.At this time, Lin You thought of a person. With his outstanding performance back then, he was able to win the first prize in the poetry competition. It would be great if he was here.

After everyone returned to the mansion, Lin You made an excuse to be tired, and quickly returned to the room.Changing into the pure black night clothes she had prepared long ago, she turned over and left the mansion again.

Soon, Lin You came to King Su's mansion. He hid on the roof, concealed his breath, and disappeared in the night dressed in black.The face was also covered with a black cloth, only a pair of eyes were exposed, staring closely at King Su's bedroom.There are guards in the palace, and the leader of the guards has reached the Void Realm. The personal guard of the princess is also a person with a certain level of cultivation brought from the Governor's Mansion. roof.It's really cold this day. Although he is a fighter and can resist the general cold, he is not without feeling. Being able to hide on the roof like this without moving is also a lot of perseverance.It is also true that other people will not notice him.

It was not the first time that he hid on the roof of King Su's mansion. After investigation, he found that King Su had many women. Although he was a fighter, he liked women.And he and the concubine are originally a political marriage, and they don't live together, so the relationship is normal if they think about it.Although this King Su is the emperor's beloved son, he also has the potential to compete with the prince, but most of them rely on his favored mother. His own cultivation is not high, he just has a good skin. Things are more like animals, without the slightest appearance of ambition.

Because of today's festival, the entire palace is also very lively, but the lights in King Su's bedroom are still off.Maybe tonight is going to be a waste of time, Su Wang might lie drunk in the arms of some beautiful woman.Thinking of this, Lin You secretly groaned inwardly.But now he can only wait. When he first arrived, he found that the concierge was still waiting at the gate. He must be waiting for someone, probably waiting for him.

After a while, there was a commotion outside the courtyard of King Su's bedroom, and Lin You's somewhat drowsy mind immediately cleared up a lot, and he was immediately on alert.Sure enough, a few people were lighting a lantern to clear the way for a man in Chinese clothes. The man was already drunk and was being helped slowly into the courtyard.Among the guards with knives next to him, the one led by Lin You felt that his cultivation base was higher than his.After the guards brought King Su back to the courtyard, the servant girl who was close to him stepped forward to help the prince and welcome him into the room.Then, the guards began to retreat.After a while, the boy also retreated from the bedroom.And that maid is probably Prince Su's liaison maid, and she will be with her tonight.

Because the guards, especially the man who looked like the leader, didn't go very far, Lin You still wanted to wait.Naturally, there are guards outside the prince's bedroom, but the people on duty are low-level, so there is nothing to be afraid of, but the leader of the guards is a powerful character.

Fortunately, after waiting for a while, Princess Su also appeared in King Su's courtyard tonight.Lin Youxin thought, the couple may not be together normally, but tonight is the Shangyuan Festival after all, the prince went out to drink, and the princess really wanted to come and see when he came back.

After a while, the concubine also got up and left, the night in the palace returned to calm, and the entire palace was quiet.Lin You estimated that the time should be around midnight.It should be a better time to start now.So, Lin You activated the Wuhen Wuhen martial skill, quickly flew from the roof to the door of King Su's bedroom, pulled out the Ziqing sword and gently opened the door, and dodged, floating into the bedroom like a black thread.Looking in the direction of the bed, Lin Fei approached quickly.With a sword lifted, a white light flashed across, and a big hole was broken in the gauze curtain on the bed.Seeing the naked man and woman embracing each other on the bed through the faint reflection, Lin You stabbed straight with his sword, and slashed the sword almost teleportingly, making it impossible for the two sleeping people to wake up again.Blood flowed along the point of the sword, splashing all over the veil...

In the middle of the night, no one noticed that there was a black shadow passing over Su Wang's mansion, but after dawn, this black shadow was enough to collapse the entire palace.
