don't show

"The subordinate retire."

The official backed away in a hurry, and the official secretary stood silently for a moment, looking up at the "Mirror Hanging High" plaque hanging above his head, staring at it for a long time...

……

After Lin Xiu came out of the Qing Officials Department, she went directly to the Academy of Different Arts.

At the entrance of the School of Different Arts, he was stopped by a figure.

The young man whom he met in court yesterday stood in front of him, looked at Lin Xiu with a smile, and said, "Son of Ping An Bolin Ting, he knows a lot..."

Sure enough, he was still hated by this person.

If Lin Xiu hadn't stood up yesterday, Qin Cong wouldn't have had to spend those two hours in the prison of the Qing Dynasty Officials Department. This made the son of the first-class uncle feel ashamed, and made him remember that troublesome guy.

Lin Xiu, the son of Uncle Ping'an, after he left the Prison of the Qing Officials, Qin Cong easily found out his identity.

Although the person in front of him was smiling, the smile on his face carried a chill no matter how you looked at it.

Lin Xiu didn't talk nonsense with Qin Cong, and said straight to the point: "What do you want?"

Qin Cong stretched out his hand, and his whole arm was gradually covered with a layer of khaki hard armor. He looked at Lin Xiu with a smile and said, "You made me stay in the dirty and smelly prison for two hours. Breaking two of your ribs isn't too much, is it?"

Looking at the change in Qin Cong's arm, Lin Xiu's pupils shrank slightly. This person is also a person who has awakened a different skill, and his ability has been awakened at least twice.

Lin Xiu, who had just awakened his abilities, could not be his opponent at all.

Lin Xiu took a step back and said, "Don't forget, fighting is prohibited in the School of Different Arts!"

Qin Cong glanced at him mockingly, and said, "There is indeed such a rule in the school rules, but here, it's outside the School of Different Arts..."

Before he finished speaking, he punched Lin Xiu in the chest.

In the face of Qin Cong's charged attack, Lin Xiu's muscles tensed up. Just as she was about to make a move, her body suddenly relaxed again.

Qin Cong thought that he had given up resisting, and added two points of strength to his hands, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a little chilly in his body, and then a thick layer of ice quickly appeared under his feet, freezing him in the in place.

A faint fragrance came from far to near, Zhao Lingyin walked up to Lin Xiu, looked at Qin Cong with cold eyes, and asked, "You want to break his two ribs?"

Qin Cong's feet had already lost feeling at this moment, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He looked at Zhao Lingyin tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice, "It is forbidden to use different spells to fight in the different spell courtyard, let me go!"

Zhao Lingyin glanced at him indifferently, and said: "There is indeed such a rule in the courtyard rules, but here, it is outside the courtyard..."

As soon as the words fell, Qin Cong flew up into the air, and then fell to the ground fiercely. The piercing pain in his chest made him know clearly that several of his ribs must be broken.

Lin Xiu looked at Zhao Lingyin speechlessly. When she kicked up just now, Lin Xiu was surprised to find that she was actually wearing long trousers under her skirt.

What kind of dressing is this? There is really no trust between people...

Chapter 10 Night Attack

Qin Cong stood up supporting his body with one hand, and covered his chest with the other hand. He looked at Zhao Lingyin angrily, and asked, "This is a grudge between Lin Xiu and me. What has it got to do with you?"

Zhao Lingyin looked at Qin Cong condescendingly, and said calmly, "His business is my business."

Qin Cong was shocked. Could it be that Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin are dating?

No, it's impossible, Lin Xiu is nothing but pretty, Qin Cong believes that Miss Zhao Jiaer is not such a superficial person.

But no matter what, with Zhao Lingyin obstructing him, it is impossible for him to do anything to Lin Xiu today.

The yellow light on Qin Cong's chest flickered, and he felt that the pain in the broken bone was not so great. He struggled to get up from the ground, gave Lin Xiu a cold look, and said, "We will meet again..."

After speaking, he limped away.

When walking past Lin Xiu, Qin Cong stopped suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said in a low voice, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that I did let someone kill that woman. I want to pamper her. But she didn't open her eyes and wanted to report to the official, she really didn't know how to flatter her... how about it, are you angry?"

The expression on Lin Xiu's face gradually froze, her fists were clenched tightly, and her knuckles were slightly white.

Qin Cong gave him a mocking look, then turned and left.

Zhao Lingyin looked back at Lin Xiu and asked, "How did you provoke him?"

Lin Xiu didn't explain too much, and changed the subject: "What kind of ability did he just have?"

Zhao Lingyin curled her lips and said, "The stone magic of the ground floor is nothing more than that. When you awaken again, he will no longer be your opponent."

Today's mood was completely destroyed by Qin Cong. Lin Xiu lost the interest in going to the School of Different Arts to read. She looked at Zhao Lingyin and asked, "Are you still practicing like last time?"

Zhao Lingyin shook her head and said, "It's too late, let's wait two more days, or your body won't be able to bear it."

Lin Xiudao: "I can."

He was a little stimulated by Qin Cong. Even this kind of scumbag was no match for Lin Xiu, which made Lin Xiu very unwilling. Whether it was strength or freezing ability, only after awakening for the second time, the strength would be qualitative compared to ordinary people. leap.

Zhao Lingyin did not refuse Lin Xiu's insistence.

Only by practicing hard and improving her strength as soon as possible can Lin Xiu be worthy of her sister, so she is very willing to help Lin Xiu practice.

Zhao Lingyin said: "Then let's go to your house."

When Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin returned to the Lin Mansion, the imperial doctor invited by Uncle Ping'an had already arrived. However, Lin Xiu knew that his amnesia was due to another soul in his body. Even if Hua Tuo was alive and Bian Que was reborn, There is no cure either.

In the end, the imperial doctor just told Uncle Ping'an and his wife that there is no cure for amnesia, and whether he can recover his memory in the future depends on chance.

Because it didn't help, the imperial doctor returned half of the consultation fee before leaving. They only earn so much in just one year, and these imperial physicians' outpatient visits can be compared to stealing money.

Only then did Zhao Lingyin realize that Lin Xiu was not pretending not to know her when she was in the brothel back then, but she was just annoyed. What to do there.

Thinking of this, a little anger grew in my heart, and I planned to torment him a few more times in a while.

Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin closed the door and practiced in the room.

In another room, Uncle Ping'an sighed, and said: "Lingyin is already a rare genius in Daxia, and Lingjun is even more talented. She had to meet a famous teacher when she was young. I heard that her strange magic has awakened." Five times, Xiu'er is really not good enough for her..."

Uncle Ping'an glared at him and said, "How can anyone say that about his son?"

Uncle Ping'an said: "I'm just telling the truth. The Zhao family and us are already worlds apart. Instead of being entangled in this impossible marriage contract and making no one feel comfortable, it's better to break the engagement as soon as possible and find a new one for Xiu'er." A wife who is in the right family can also pass on the incense of the Lin family."

Mrs. Ping'an also knew that her husband was right. After a moment of silence, she also said, "That's right. After all, we are not good enough for him. This marriage contract is not good for anyone. I also want to hug my grandson as soon as possible." , why don't we discuss it with Xiu'er, we don't want this marriage contract."

When the husband and wife were discussing this matter in the room, in Lin Xiu's room, he folded his arms on his chest, trembling, and a layer of frost formed on his eyebrows.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only say tremblingly: "Ling, Lingyin, can you put it down a bit, I can't stand it..."

Zhao Lingyin glanced at him lightly and asked, "Have you forgotten what happened just now?"

Thinking that if the spirit voice hadn't appeared in front of the School of Different Arts just now, she might have broken a few ribs, Lin Xiu gritted her teeth and said, "Come on, I'm fine!"

When eating at noon, Lin Xiu was wrapped in a quilt.

Although he has endured a lot of hardships, this way of cultivation can significantly increase the strength in his body. If Lingyin can help him like this every day, Lin Xiu is confident that he will awaken for the second time within half a year.

After dinner, Lin Xiu came to the School of Different Arts again.

He was sitting alone in the corner of the Library Pavilion, slowly flipping through a book. Qin Cong's awakened magic is called the magic of stone, which can partially or completely petrify the body. The number of people who have this magic in history is the most Awakened six times, so this technique is listed as the top grade of the earth.

After learning about this, Lin Xiu understood why Lingyin disdained him so much.

When Lin Xiu awakened for the second time, the vitality in his body was enough to support him to condense a thick layer of solid ice outside his body, which was similar to Qin Cong's ability, and had many more changes than his ability.

But that was also after Lin Xiu awakened again.

There are all kinds of strange spells in this world. In order to avoid not knowing how to deal with and restrain them next time, Lin Xiu didn't even eat dinner, and spent the whole day in the collection pavilion of the School of Unusual Arts, until the pavilion was closed at night.

The imperial city will be closed at Haishi, which is almost equivalent to nine o'clock in the evening. All the officials in the front palace, including the students and teachers of the School of Different Arts and Martial arts, must leave the imperial city before then.

Lin Xiu rushed out of the imperial city just before the palace gate was closed, Sun Dali leaned against the city wall and dozed off, Lin Xiu called him a few times before waking up.

Sun Dali rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked, "Master, why did you come out so late today?"

Lin Xiu didn't go home, firstly because he was fascinated by reading, and secondly, to avoid the embarrassment of getting along with Mr. and Mrs. Ping'an. He didn't explain too much, and said, "Go back."

The Lin family is some distance away from the imperial city, and all the dignitaries live near the imperial city. Lin Xiu needs to walk from the east of the city to the west of the city, which takes about half an hour to go home.

The capital implemented a curfew policy at night. After midnight, people were not allowed to walk freely in the city. At this moment, there was still an hour before midnight, and there were no people on the streets.

Lin Xiu and Sun Dali chatted as they walked, walking from the east to the west of the city, the streets on both sides gradually changed from high-rise mansions to low-rise private houses, and they met fewer and fewer people on the road.

The west of the city is a place where civilians live together, and the law and order at night is not good. Unless there are important matters, ordinary people are reluctant to come out at night.

After crossing another alley, they arrived home. When Lin Xiu and Sun Dali were about to reach the intersection, a stray dog ​​barked at them twice at the entrance of a certain alley.

Sun Dali shivered for a while, and cursed: "Damn dog, you scared me."

He was about to continue walking, but Lin Xiu's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Sun Dali asked suspiciously: "Master, why don't you leave?"

Lin Xiu's hair was standing on end. To Sun Dali, it was just two barks of a dog, but to Lin Xiu's ears, the dog was clearly saying, what exactly is that man trying to do after hiding in the alley for so long...

The two of them were about to pass by the alley when Lin Xiu suddenly stopped and stopped a foot away from the entrance of the alley.

After a moment of calm, a cold light suddenly flashed in the dark alley.

"Master, be careful!"

Sun Dali's reaction was quick, he rushed towards Lin Xiu quickly, a throwing knife flew out from the alley, and stuck in his shoulder.

If he hadn't stopped him, the place where the throwing knife shot would be Lin Xiu's eyebrows!

Someone wants his life!

"Master, run!"

This time, Sun Dali did not run away. He ignored the flying knife on his shoulder, shouted at Lin Xiu, and then flew towards the figure who came out of the dark alley.

The man was short in stature, and was dressed in a black robe that completely covered his entire body.

It never occurred to him that the target this time would be aware of his existence ahead of time. Didn't the information say that he was just an ordinary person who hadn't awakened any strange arts or practiced martial arts?

If the opponent didn't notice, when he passed by that alley just now, he could have shot directly and killed him with one blow.

The young man stopped without any warning, as if he had spotted him, so he had to change his plan and shoot directly, but because of his precautions, his dart was blocked by the man beside this person.

As an assassin, martial arts is not his forte. An excellent assassin should be able to kill with one blow and travel thousands of miles away.

When the assassin's whereabouts are exposed, the best way is to flee immediately, but this time the mission is well paid, and he doesn't want to give up just yet.

The strong man had already rushed over, he raised his hand, and shot five darts at the same time, heading straight for the man's vitals.

Facing the dart shot by this person, Sun Dali did not dodge or dodge, like a bull, he slammed into the man in black fiercely, the man in black clenched his fist with his right hand, and punched out, there was the sound of breaking the wind, with momentum like a thousand Jun, hit Sun Dali's chest directly.

With one punch, he could actually set off a sonic boom. This killer is obviously not an ordinary person. Lin Xiu doesn't know what ability this person possesses, but the man in black obviously doesn't know Sun Dali's ability either.

Although his talent is not high, and his awakening time is also late, but after so many years, his ability has already awakened for the second time.

Unless others have awakened similar abilities, few people can compete with him purely in strength. Zhao Lingyin can beat ten Sun Dali, but in terms of strength alone, ten Zhao Lingyin is not as good as him.

boom!

When the man in black's fist hit the man opposite him, his face immediately changed drastically. He didn't repel the man, but instead, a greater force spread along his arm to his body.

boom!

Sun Dali's shoulder directly bumped into the chest of the man in black, his chest sank in an instant, blood gushed from his mouth, it seemed that he was exhaling too much and not inhaling.

There were still a few darts stuck in Sun Dali's body. With his hands on his hips, he glanced at the man in black on the ground whose life was rapidly passing away with disdain, and said proudly, "That's it?"

After the words fell, he scratched his head inexplicably, and said in confusion: "It's strange, why is my head so dizzy..."

Then, he fell to the ground, unconscious.

Chapter 11 Doubt

Early in the morning, Lin Mansion.

Sun Dali was lying on the bed, his face was black and blue, and he was still unconscious.

Director Chen of the Cleaning Department came in from the outside and said: "The identity of that person has been found out. He is an assassin who has been wanted by the court for a long time. He has several murder cases on his body. I didn't expect Lin Xiu to be targeted by him this time." gone."

Last night, the man in black died before the Xunjie guards arrived.

Sun Dali hit it with all his strength, let alone a human being, even an elephant couldn't bear it.

Before he died, Lin Xiu tried to copy his ability, but the power in his body didn't respond, which showed that this person was not a capable person.

Uncle Ping'an had a gloomy face, and said through gritted teeth, "But who would bribe an assassin to kill Xiu'er?"

Director Chen thought for a while, his complexion changed slightly, and he blurted out, "Could it be the Qin family?"

Uncle Ping'an asked: "What Qin family, what happened, why do you doubt the Qin family?"

Mr. Chen briefly told him what happened in the Cleaning Department that day. After pondering for a moment, Uncle Pingan shook his head and said, "Probably not. I believe that the Qin family will retaliate against Xiu'er, but please assassinate him. I don't have the guts yet."
