New and dark light years

Chapter 70: Cunning people often suffer misfortune
After coming out of the government office, everyone wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Especially Su Huafang, he could clearly feel the strength of the warriors around King Lu, who were at least third rank.

It only takes one person to step forward and they can be easily wiped out.

"Xunshu Li, you're really brave," Su Huafang exclaimed in amazement. "Under such circumstances, you actually dared to interrupt the conversation between Prince Lu and the prefect."

Li Lin shook his head and said, "If we didn't get out at that time, we would have been in a very troublesome situation later. We just gave it a try."

Bai Lichuan hissed, "What should we do now?"

"Of course, we're going back to Yulin County." Li Lin looked at the sky and said, "The sooner we leave, the better."

Su Huafang nodded and said, "I think so too. The two Bai patrols and Mr. Zhao, what do you think..."

Bai Liwei: "Let's go back together. It would be good to have someone to look after us."

Bai Bufan felt a little regretful because he still had two brothels to visit.

I don’t know when I will come here again.

Zhao Hao was a little hesitant: "I think..."

Li Lin looked at him and said, "Mr. Zhao, if I were you, I wouldn't stay here any longer. Your uncle is the chief clerk, and he has some connection to Prefect Fang. If His Royal Highness Prince Lu really investigates, he will be implicated no matter what. If you stay in Jincheng, you will most likely suffer as well. It's better for you to come back to Yulin County with us. At least you can stand on the sidelines and watch how things develop. Then you'll have room to save people or stay out of it."

Zhao Hao thought for a while and said, "I'll listen to you."

Su Huafang said, "Then let's pack up first. If there is anything that needs to be dealt with, please do it as soon as possible. See you at the North City Gate in an hour."

it is good!
Everyone immediately separated.

Li Lin returned to the inn, picked up his bag, counted the things inside, found that nothing was missing, and put the alchemy furnace back in.

After paying the rent to the shopkeeper, he packed his bag and went to the market.

He remembered to buy lipstick for the Tree Fairy.

Rouge shops are easy to find and there are quite a lot of them.

But there is only one store that sells Xue Sui Zhu, and it is a government-run store.

"So expensive, forty taels of silver?" Li Lin hissed.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged woman, still charming. She waved her handkerchief and said, "Oh, sir. This is the price. Snow Marrow Vermilion used to be something only the ladies in the palace and the noble ladies in the capital could use. Now that it's been distributed to the county government, it's already very cheap."

"can it be cheaper?"

"No, the price is set by the court, we can't change it. If it's reduced by one tael, I'll have to pay one tael of silver myself for the monthly inventory."

Seeing that the woman did not seem to be lying, Li Lin reluctantly paid forty taels of silver.

Not only did he not make any money on this trip, he even lost ten taels of silver.

Holding a round wooden box painted white with light gold patterns, he opened it and saw a round depression in the middle of the white wooden box, which contained a pool of translucent red "jade".

Has a light aroma.

No wonder it is called Snow Marrow Zhu.

No wonder it’s so expensive. Even Li Lin thinks it looks great.

He put the box into his bag and left the rouge shop.

After walking for a while, his expression became serious.

Because he felt that someone was following him.

Because spirit hunters have "yin energy" in their bodies, this thing is essentially the source of strange energy.

Therefore, the senses of spirit hunters are relatively sharp.

He didn't look back, but pretended to wander around, and then inadvertently came to a relatively secluded area.

The alleys here are very narrow and surrounded by low and short tiled houses.

Li Lin slipped behind a mud brick house, blocked out of everyone's sight, and went into stealth mode.

Then he hid behind an old tree not far away.

Then footsteps were heard.

The three of them came to the corner where he disappeared, looked around, and after a while someone said, "Damn, where did that kid go?"

Li Lin's eyes narrowed as he saw the face of his stalker.

It was 'Lin Qiyu', the one who had tried to trick him but failed. The middle-aged man, however, looked furious. "If he hadn't been unwilling to help, we could have blocked the Tianyi Gate and held them out until the boss returned. We wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses, and I wouldn't have been removed from my position as escort leader. Humph, he must not have gone far. Let's split up and search. Scream at him when we see him. When we catch him, I'll make him compensate me for my losses and then skin him alive."

When Li Lin heard this, he gently put the red tassel spear aside and took out the short sword in his arms.

The other two bodyguards walked away, and Lin Qiyu searched nearby.

Li Lin approached quietly.

Soon, he came behind Lin Qiyu.

Chi!
The dagger pierced Lin Qiyu's lower back.

Lin Qiyu's body straightened up in pain, but he didn't know what kind of martial arts he used, but he suddenly sprinted forward a few steps and escaped from Li Lin's attack range in an instant.

Then he shouted: "He is..."

Li Lin now knows how to use light body techniques. He caught up with him in the blink of an eye and stabbed the dagger into the other kidney.

Lin Qiyu really couldn't speak this time. His face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground, trembling for a while, and then fell to the ground.

His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, and he died in pain.

However, his voice still got out. The two bodyguards had not gone far. When they heard the voice, they immediately rushed over together.

But just as they arrived not far in front of Li Lin, their heads shot up into the sky.

The blood spurted out from the broken neck like a shower, drop by drop.

When the bodies and heads of the two men fell to the ground at the same time, a masked man suddenly appeared behind them.

Li Lin took a step back cautiously.

He could tell that the masked man was very powerful.

"Don't be nervous, my friend, it's me!"

The voice sounded familiar.

The man then pulled away the veil, revealing a young man's face.

Li Lin recognized him, the young man who was the leader of Tianyi Sect.

"Tianyi Sect's Senior Brother, An Xin!" The young man smiled with his eyes curved, very friendly: "Friend, we meet again."

Li Lin clasped his fists and said, "Spirit Hunter, Li Lin. Thank you for your help... Why are you here?"

"These two young escorts are no match for you. I'm sorry for going to such trouble." An Xin smiled and said, "We at Tianyi Sect have already let Shunfu Escort Agency go. It's just that while I was strolling down the street, I saw Lin Qiyu daring to follow Li Xunshou, so I followed him to see if I could resolve the misunderstanding between you two."

Resolve misunderstandings?

If it is to resolve a misunderstanding, is it necessary to wear a mask?

Will the first move be a killing move?

This An Xin is here to kill people.

"Thank you, Young Master An. I have something urgent to do now and need to reunite with my companions. See you again if the chance arises." Li Lin didn't want to chat with this man any more.

He felt that the other party was very cunning.

Of course...I'm pretty much the same.

Things of the same kind generally exclude each other.

"Then I won't bother you any more." An Xin clasped his fists and said, "See you again if we're lucky."

Li Lin turned and left.

An Xin stood there motionless, staring at the place where Li Lin disappeared.

After a long time, a dozen masked men in black approached from nearby.

An Xin said coldly, "Sink the bodies of these three people into the river and feed them to ghosts. Don't let anyone find them. Clean up all the blood and everything else."

The men in black quickly moved forward, and one of them came over to ask, "Big Brother, we've heard that the head escort of Shunfu Escort Agency is planning to relocate his wife and children to Yulin County."

"Does he have a backer in Yulin County?"

"I don't know."

"Then continue investigating."
