Chapter 143: The Book-Traveling Person in the Rebirth Novel 4
The night was dark and the stars were dim. After a tiring day, most people in each household had fallen asleep.

And in such darkness, it is more suitable for some people to do things that they cannot do during the day.

For example, killing people.

Such as saving people.

Except for Kyoto's most prosperous markets, especially brothels and taverns, the lights are bright.

The pier is now bustling.

The Regent's men brought a large number of cargo ships to the Kyoto dock, and now they are all parked on the shore.

In theory, every spot at the dock is extremely popular, and the business company in charge of the dock will not easily allow anyone to dock.

But as the saying goes, the people do not fight against the officials.

And the other party was the highest-ranking official in the Xia Dynasty.

It's even more unacceptable.

·
Xiao Ningzhou, wearing a black nightgown, hid behind a wooden box, watching the large ship in the distance gently rolling with the waves and swaying on the water.

The most common people at the docks are coolies, and there are all kinds of people working like this.

Therefore, there are many food stalls, brothels and taverns near the pier.

Ling Mo was currently sitting by the window on the second floor of a small restaurant, his eyes fixed on the pier not far away.

It was dark at night and she couldn't see anything.

Ling Mo had originally imagined that the ship of Yu'an Trading Company would be seized.

But there are dozens of boats in total, it is impossible that not a single one slipped through the net.

However, she never expected that she still underestimated the terrifying methods of the biggest villain in the book.

A large ship that can carry more than ten tons of cargo can be detained at any time, which is a waste of time, effort, manpower and money.

It's not a good deal no matter how you look at it.

He did it anyway.

This also made Ling Mo realize that she had been able to successfully escape from the Regent in the past.

Simply because—he didn't really take her to heart.

If he really mobilized all his forces to capture her, it would be of no avail even if the King of Chu protected her.

Feeling inexplicably depressed and restless, Ling Mo picked up the teacup quite frequently.

As someone who is familiar with the plot, the two years of fighting against the Regent have gone from being full of confidence at the beginning to feeling like walking on cotton, and one could fall into the abyss if one is not careful.

At this moment, the fear of the villain reached a new level.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fierce fighting at the dock.

Dozens of torches were running rapidly, occasionally illuminating the fighting scene.

Among the group of men in black, Xiao Ningzhou as the male protagonist is the most conspicuous. After all, his martial arts ability makes him invincible among ordinary guards.

But suddenly he was entangled by someone.

That man's martial arts skills were actually on par with his.

Ling Mo looked in the opposite direction.

In the darkness, a fire broke all the silence.

The Regent's Palace was burned down.

I'm afraid this news will shock the whole of Kyoto tomorrow.

That's the Regent's Palace.

Who is so brave enough to set fire to him?

Ling Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the fire appear in time.

The noise of fighting at the dock died down.

Xiao Ningzhou began to retreat.

When they heard that the cargo ship was seized, they knew it would be very difficult to rescue people.

The Regent will surely send a large number of people to guard the dock, just waiting for the opportunity.

Catch them in one fell swoop.

At that time, whether they were treated as thieves and killed in the chaos or secretly escorted back to the Regent's Palace would be a matter of just a word from Wei Fuyi.

So Ling Mo decided not to save them. Although the King of Chu strongly rejected her idea, he remained silent after Ling Mo analyzed that saving them would only cost the lives of more brothers.

In the end, I had to agree with her idea.

Ling Mo then sent people to launch a surprise attack on the Regent's Palace while the Regent had a large number of men guarding them at the dock.

By the time the people at the dock discovered something was wrong, it would take at least half an hour to rush back.

Stealing information, setting fire to the palace, poisoning... a lot can be done in half an hour.

Ling Mo thought that was the end, so he picked up the cloak, put it on his shoulders, put on the hood, opened the door and was about to go back.

But after opening the door, she saw a man standing in the dark, blocking her way.

He wore black clothes with red stripes, a python outlined by gold thread, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his face was stunning to the point of being breathtaking yet cold-blooded and ruthless.

A person's name flashed through her mind, she lowered her head slightly, and remained silent.

Seeing that the person had not moved out of the way, she lowered her voice and said, "You're blocking the way."

The hoarse voice revealed his old age.

The candlelight in the box was dim. As an ordinary restaurant close to the pier, at this late hour, the hall, which should have been filled with all kinds of people from the lower floors, was now completely silent.

"Catch him."

Ling Mo sighed softly.

"I'll go back with you, don't make any moves."

"Mr. Ling, don't you plan to struggle?"

"I am flattered that your target this time is me. I am afraid that since everyone around me is your people, the Regent, I cannot escape."

It was clearly the first time that the two met, but the way they talked felt like old friends who had known each other for a long time.

No, they should be old rivals. As opponents who have played against each other no less than a hundred times, they seem to be very familiar with each other's methods.

On the carriage.

"Poisoned the water, stole the jade seal and letter, put croton in the stable fodder, set fire to the study... and more..."

"explain."

The subordinate swallowed his saliva and silently took out a wooden box from his arms. After opening it, a straw man with a note stuck on it and full of needles was lying inside.

"Your little man is hidden under the bed."

There was an oppressive silence in the carriage at this moment.

"Oh, sir, your methods are still the same...you won't stop at anything." The Regent twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing murderous intent.

He looked at the man who had been wearing a hood and lowering his head, and suddenly reached out to lift the brim of his hat.

I thought I would see an old man with wrinkles all over his face, but I unexpectedly saw a handsome and delicate young man.

The subordinates retreated silently at the signal of their superiors.

Their eyes met, one was indifferent and full of Buddhism, while the other was indifferent and full of obscure and profound meanings.

"How old are you now?"

Ling Mo is now wearing the body of his eighteen-year-old self, and now two years have passed.

"Your Highness, in two months I will be twenty."

Looking at the boy's half-disheveled hair, Wei Fuyi wanted to laugh.

She is not even old enough to come of age yet, and she has to deal with things in such an awkward manner. If she really grows up one day, I am afraid that she will be eaten until nothing will be left.

and so--

Just kill him.

Seeing the murderous intent in the villain's eyes, the alarm bells in Ling Mo's brain started ringing.

Whether it was the plot of the novel in the hands of the male supporting character or the system plot of Ling Mo coming to this world, there was no mention of the Regent catching himself.

So she had a lucky mentality in the teahouse, thinking that maybe it was an accident.

But the fact is, the Regent, who is busy with all kinds of affairs, would not go to a place where breathing would lower his taste for no reason.

When Ling Mo was worrying about how to save himself, the carriage suddenly braked.

The car shook violently and then stopped.

Ling Mo's center of gravity was unstable in the car, and the two walls were far away. She flew forward and was about to fall face first on the ground. Suddenly, a strong arm reached out, grabbed her waist, and pulled her up.
