Brocade Robe Unparalleled

Chapter 103 Thrush
Inside the Luo family's villa, Du Yunzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the murderer was not caught, Lin Zongqi deduced his identity.

The fact that he could leave disguised as Luo Wei means he must be a Nanzhao spy skilled in disguise.

In this way, the Jingbian Division could be considered to have given an explanation to the Luo family.

Seeing this, the local official from the Yang family could no longer make a fuss. After saying a few words of condolence to Luo Zhen, he left with the people from the chieftain's office.

"Condolences."

After comforting Lin Xuan, he was about to take his leave when a servant from the Luo family came over carrying a wooden tray covered with a red cloth.

Luo Zhen lifted the red cloth, revealing several rows of silver ingots neatly arranged on the tray.

He nodded slightly to Lin Xuan and said, "Thank you to this young man from the Jingbian Division for not letting my son die an unjust death. This is just a small gift, please accept it..."

Lin Xuan sighed and said, "Investigating the case is the duty of the Jingbian Division. I will not accept the money. Please accept my condolences, Patriarch Luo..."

Lin Xuan ultimately couldn't refuse the money.

Luo Zhen insisted on giving it to him, so he reluctantly accepted it.

Before leaving, he patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder and said, "My Luo family has some influence in Bozhou. If you encounter any difficulties in Bozhou in the future, you can come to the Luo residence to find me."

Lin Xuan clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Then I thank Patriarch Luo in advance."

Before long, the Jingbian Division personnel left the Luo family's villa.

As Du Yunzhou stepped through the courtyard gate, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Xuan a couple more times.

No wonder Wenren Yue brought him to Bozhou; this Commander Lin is indeed quite capable.

Including Du Yunzhou himself, the banner officers of the Bozhou Border Pacification Division were all people with connections from the capital. In terms of understanding the Nanzhao Secret Service, they were far inferior to him. If it weren't for him, they would probably be entangled with that local official today...

Surrounded by sons of officials who are only interested in getting credit, he is not capable of doing anything important. With a capable and efficient captain like him, I can save myself a lot of trouble.

at this time.

The Luo family's villa.

Li Zhong and Zhao Er knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling like leaves.

Luo Zhen looked at them expressionlessly, his gaze sweeping over Luo Wei's corpse. He said indifferently, "Young Master died because of you, so you can go and join him. Men, drag them both away and bury them."

Li Zhong and Zhao Er kowtowed frantically, their heads banging against the ground with loud thuds, blood gushing from their foreheads.

"Sir, spare my life!"

"This can't be entirely our fault!"

"It was the young master who asked us to find him a beautiful woman!"

Luo Zhen stopped looking at them, simply waved his hand, and said, "Drag them away..."

Knowing that they were likely doomed to die today, the two stopped pleading and instead began to curse.

"You old bastard, your son deserves to die!"

"Your Luo family has committed countless evil deeds; you will surely be childless and without descendants!"

"Bah! Eighteen years from now, I'll be a hero again!"

The curses faded into the distance, but Luo Zhen's expression remained unchanged.

There's no need to argue with people who are about to die.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and squeezed out two words from his throat: "Nanzhao!"

……

After leaving the Luo family villa, Lin Xuan and Wenren Yue went straight home.

On the way, Wenren Yue looked at Lin Xuan and asked, "I've heard of the 'True Explanation of Myriad Forms.' This technique is a closely guarded secret of the Nanzhao Secret Service. Could it be that the one who killed Luo Wei was really a Nanzhao secret agent?"

After all, she was a practitioner of both martial arts and magic, and she had heard of the Myriad Forms True Explanation long ago, but she hadn't thought of it just now.

Lin Xuan shrugged and said, "I don't know, I was just making it up, otherwise they'd blame our Jingbian Division for being incompetent..."

Wenren Yue was taken aback upon hearing this, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Did you also fabricate the 'Guardian' operative, a high-ranking spy for Nanzhao?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "'Gecko' really exists. I saw it in the files of Sizhou, but his story was made up by me. It's half true and half false, so they'll believe it..."

Actually, he heard about the 'gecko' from Mandala. Since they all worked in the same unit, he probably wouldn't mind being asked to take the blame temporarily.

Wenren Yue glanced at Lin Xuan, thinking, "Sometimes, this guy really leaves you speechless."

After the two returned home, A'Luo brought out the reheated food. Lin Xuan noticed the dishes were still the same as when they left and asked, "Didn't you eat?"

Aro said, "We want to wait for you to come back so we can eat together."

Seeing that Lin Xuan and Wenren Yue had been gone for so long, and that they had returned with a bag of silver, Tian Qingluan asked in confusion, "What did you two do?"

Lin Xuan picked up his chopsticks again and said, "There's a case..."

He briefly recounted what had just happened to them.

Tian Qingluan exclaimed in surprise, "There's such a miraculous technique?"

Lin Xuan said, "The world is vast, and anything is possible..."

A Luo snorted: "A bad guy like that deserves to die. If he were alive, who knows how many more girls would have been ruined by him!"

Lin Xuan didn't say anything more and ate her meal in silence.

Even with Mandala by his side, he was still a little nervous during his first mission.

But this time, he remained extremely calm throughout.

Maintaining sufficient composure at all times is a professional quality of a secret agent.

If that woman were here, she would definitely praise him.

Forget it, it's best if I never see her again in this lifetime.

Lost in his own thoughts, Lin Xuan didn't notice that A Luo's gaze towards him was different from usual.

A Luo placed a large piece of fish, with the bones removed, into Lin Xuan's bowl, a slight smile playing on her lips.

He did a great job on this mission.

No wonder I taught him myself...

Having mastered the Myriad Forms True Understanding, he possesses an advantage in assassination that no spy can match.

This technique demands extremely high levels of mental strength; in the entire Nanzhao Secret Service, besides 'Gong', he is the only one who knows it.

She watched with her own eyes as he gradually became the person she wanted him to be.

After dinner, Wenren Yue returned to her own residence, while A Luo obediently went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Lin Xuan's gaze swept across Tian Qingluan's face, and then moved back to her face.

When Tian Qingluan saw Lin Xuan staring at her, her face flushed, and she said softly, "What are you looking at me for? Is there something on my face?"

Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "You don't have any smudges on your face, but your eyebrows are drawn crooked..."

Upon hearing this, Tian Qingluan was taken aback, and then somewhat flusteredly pulled out a small bronze mirror from her bosom and examined it carefully.

When she was in Sizhou, she was always taken care of by maids when she was getting ready.

I came to Bozhou alone this time, with no one to take care of me, so I had to do everything myself.

She looked in the bronze mirror and noticed that her left eyebrow was indeed drawn crooked. She took out the eyebrow pencil she always carried with her from her sleeve, wanting to fix it, but she was not satisfied with her attempts.

Things that seem simple on a daily basis are actually not easy to do.

Lin Xuan stood up and walked over, naturally taking the eyebrow pencil from her hand, and said, "Let me help you."

Tian Qingluan looked up at him, her eyes filled with doubt, and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Lin Xuan raised the corners of her lips: "Whether it works or not, you'll know once you try."

To put it bluntly, most women's makeup skills are not as good as his.

This skill was a hobby for them, but it was also their means of making a living.

Although he had the True Understanding of All Forms and was less reliant on this skill, his skills had never become rusty.

Lin Xuan gently supported her chin with his left hand to prevent her from moving around, while holding an eyebrow pencil in his right hand, he lightly outlined her eyebrows.

Tian Qingluan was initially a little apprehensive, but seeing Lin Xuan's focused expression as he carefully drew her eyebrows, her heart gradually calmed down, and a sweet feeling welled up inside her.

This is the first time a man has ever drawn her eyebrows.

A Luo came out of the kitchen and saw this scene. Her smile immediately froze on her face.

Okay, use the skills she taught you to please other women...

If I had known, I shouldn't have taught him how to disguise himself!
