Chapter 53: Seemingly Dead
The first day of the Lunar New Year is a good day of the year, and it also means that Li Xin has spent a year in this world.
The eighteenth year of Chengde is the second year that he has come to this world.
Li Xin stewed a pot of bone broth in the kitchen, and the soup was boiled by him all day, and after it was a little sticky, he served it to the little girl to drink.
His main purpose now is to raise this thin and small charcoal girl to fatten, a person's adult height, part of the congenital determination, the other part is the nutritional supply when she was a child, according to the previous appearance of this girl, it is a serious malnutrition, so Li Xin found a way to fill her up.
Not only Zhong Xiaoxiao, but even Li Xin himself is also a little malnourished, so when he "faked" the money from the Pingnan Hou Mansion, the first thing he did was to improve his food.
He is only fifteen years old, and he still has a chance to grow taller.
After Li Xin drank his share of bone broth in one gulp, he touched the little girl's head with a smile and said softly: "There is still a bowl in the pot after drinking, remember to serve it." ”
Zhong Xiaoxiao let out a well-behaved "um", lowered his head and continued to drink the soup.
When a child is not in contact with the world, her heart is the most thorough, who is good to her, who is not good to her, she can directly feel, this kind of intuition in the dark, extremely accurate.
It's a pity that after people grow up, their minds will be polluted by all kinds of things, and they will become less and less spiritual, unless you can read and re-cultivate yourself to the realm of spiritual penetration, otherwise this innate "aura" will gradually disappear.
Zhong Xiaoxiao's age is the most "bright" time in her life, so she can clearly feel Li Xin's kindness, which is why she obeys Li Xin's words.
Li Xin put the bowl on the table and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a sudden commotion outside the courtyard.
Some chaotic sounds can be faintly heard.
Seems to be ...... Catch the Assassins?
Li Xin's face changed, he turned his head and walked to Zhong Xiaoxiao's side, patted her on the back, and said softly: "Girl, go back to your own room, if your brother doesn't call you, you are not allowed to come out, do you hear?" ”
The little girl nodded, put down the dishes and chopsticks very obediently, ran back to her house at a trot, and then closed the door.
Li Xin took a few deep breaths and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Originally, Li Xin was not the kind of stupid and bold character, when he encountered things in his previous life, he was also the kind of person who took a step back first, but when he really couldn't avoid it, Li Xin would not be a turtle with a shrunken head.
Now there are no adults in this family, Li Xin is the heaven of this family, behind him is a little girl who has just turned six years old, there is no way to avoid it, no matter what the situation is outside, Li Xin must go out and solve it.
The young man carried a lantern and walked into the courtyard, at this time the noise next to the courtyard was heavier, and the sound of catching assassins sounded in his ears, as if it was getting closer and closer, Li Xin frowned slightly.
As far as he knows, this world was considered a prosperous era in ancient times, at least this capital is a singing and dancing appearance, why is it that on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are assassins in the capital?
He was thinking about this stubble in his heart, and suddenly smelled a bloody breath, Li Xin looked left and right, found nothing abnormal, and was about to turn back, when suddenly a cold sharp object stabbed him in the neck.
It's a dagger.
"Don't move!"
A deep male voice sounded behind Li Xin, and the voice was a standard Bashu accent.
At this time, of course, Li Xin couldn't move, and the dagger was stabbed in his neck, even if his head moved slightly, it would bleed.
At this time, Li Xinli was frantically cursing those people in Tianmu Prison, saying that he was going to protect himself, why did no one disappear at the critical time?
In fact, this is some concepts in later generations that misled Li Xin, making him think that the spy organizations are all "24 hours online", although Tianmu Jian is a secret service agency under the Chengde Emperor, but the people of Tianmu Jian also need to rest, although there are people who are worthy of Tianmu Prison 12 hours a day shift protection or monitoring, but obviously, Li Xin did not reach that level.
In other words, at most, the people of Tianmu Prison watched him during the day, and at night no one paid attention to him.
Li Xin took a deep breath and said to the person behind him: "Big brother, if you have something to say, I will try my best to cooperate with you." ”
He knew very well in his heart that this person could be sent by anyone, but it was absolutely impossible for him to be sent by the Pingnan Hou Mansion, assuming that he died suddenly now, then even if it had nothing to do with the Pingnan Hou Mansion, the Li family would have to bear the responsibility for his own death.
The man stretched out his hand and pulled Li Xin's clothes, and his voice was cold: "There are people chasing and killing us outside, you find us a hiding place and coax those officers and soldiers away, otherwise Lao Tzu will stab you to death......
Although this person's Sichuan and Shu accent made Li Xin a little dramatic, he knew very well that this person was definitely not joking with himself, and the strong smell of blood on his body represented this person, and he was definitely not a person who was talking and playing.
And he just said the word "we", that is, he was not the only one who came to his own home.
Li Xin listened to the voice of the assassin who was shouting outside, took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, he looked at the man behind him, and whispered, "Big brother...... Killed someone in the capital? ”
The man snorted coldly: "You talk so much, do you want to die or live?" ”
Li Xin closed his eyes and took a deep breath again.
This group of people is definitely not a good kind, it is now the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the people of Jingzhao Mansion are on vacation, and it is unlikely that they will come to arrest them, that is to say, most of the people who are chasing these people outside are Yu Linwei's people, and if they can work Yu Linwei to hunt them down, then these people must have committed some great sin.
In the middle of the night, at least he killed a first- and second-grade man, so that Yu Linwei's people could be so excited.
Thinking of this, Li Xinzhong had some ideas, he swallowed his saliva, and said to the people behind him: "Big brother, listen to the voices outside, they will soon be able to find out where I am, you should be able to hear my accent, I am not from the capital, those people in the capital can't trust me, they will definitely break in and search, the smell of blood on your body is so strong, you can't hide from it......"
The man was silent for a while, the dagger against Li Xin's neck relaxed slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a way?" ”
Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If the eldest brother can trust me, I will have a way to ......"
…………
Just when Li Xin was entangled with this assassin who didn't know where he came from in his yard, outside Li Xin's courtyard, Li Chun, the little marquis riding a tall horse, was already looking at Li Xin's courtyard with cold eyes, and his voice was cold: "Are you sure those two people have entered?" ”
The general surnamed Zheng lowered his head and said: "Sure, the little one and his brothers drove them several times before they drove them into this courtyard, and the little marquis rushed in now, we can take people immediately!" ”
Li Chun smiled and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, just surround this courtyard, let's wait for Yu Linwei's brother, let Yu Linwei break the door with us, and wait for Yu Linwei's people to see this wild species mixed with the assassin with their own eyes......"
"And he was dead."
Speaking of this, the smile on Li Xin's face was even worse.
"Maybe at this time, this wild seed has been killed by those two rebels......"
