C18 (2/2)

It wasn't that he had to be emotional, but that marrying this person was the most appropriate choice.

Luo Yi said that, she was originally a lady who did not have any ambitions, and her biggest wish in life was to live her life according to the rules, but Xu Heng was clearly the person who fit that criteria the most, so she did not even consider other possibilities. However, Xu Heng was cunning like a fox, in essence, she was a hunter. He had prepared a flawless trap and bait to lure her into jumping step by step into the abyss, and she wasn't satisfied just by doing so. Now, she was even trying to find a reason for her to jump into the abyss without any regrets …

”I may not be very smart, but I'm not a fool.”

Luo Yi sighed softly. ”Today's matter is something that never happened, if you have anything that you need my help with, just say it. In order to return and marry Lin Ting alive, I will spare no effort to help you.”

Saying that, she pretended to wink at Xu Heng.

She felt that her words were reasonable, and even if she gave Xu Heng face she still expressed her intentions tactfully, and as long as Xu Heng was not foolish, she would follow her advice and the topic would continue to be the same. After that, the two of them returned to their previous states, and even if their makeup was useless, it would not matter, as long as they left the Northern Tribes, the situation would not change, and who would have expected Xu Heng to be an idiot. She walked to the door and opened it to leave, but suddenly, the person's fearless voice came out from behind her: ”Pick this time because I'm injured.”

Luo Yi was stunned for a moment, but before she could understand the specific meaning of the sentence, Xu Heng continued to say, ”Liu Liangyun said that he found the true address of the person who was imprisoning His Majesty.”

Liu Liangyun had come to the General's Estate again, twice a day.

The first person to come wasn't him, but the cold faced expert beside him.

An expert was, after all, an expert. They had clearly come to this courtyard together with the people from the Liefeng Priest and the others, but they had not alarmed anyone. Even Luo Yi, who lived next door to Xu Heng, did not notice that there was an extra person in the room next door.

Xu Heng was too busy looking at his injuries to bother about him, he did not care about it at all, and completely did not understand the ways of the world. He repeated what the lord had said to him emotionlessly, then jumped out of the window again.

Liu Liangyun's second visit to the General's House was much more normal. He handed over a greeting card and was personally led by the steward to the Doctor.

A person was kneeling in the room and replying, saying that the assassin had indeed injured his left shoulder, and that his figure did not resemble the new guest in the manor.

This person was one of the top experts in his residence. For him to be able to escape under his attack, the assassin's skill must be no less than his. However, Xin Li was a person who...

After recalling it for a moment, the doctor really didn't look like someone who knew any martial arts. However, when he went to the courtyard yesterday, he took a peek inside. Although the bed was a mess, when he thought back to it afterwards, he felt that there was something deliberate about it …

When his train of thought was suddenly interrupted, the Liangshu Courtyard doctor was startled. He heard the butler report that it was Lord Liu who had arrived. He then casually waved his hand and withdrew the person who was still kneeling down.

Xu Heng said that he came to the Northern Tribes to do business with the rich guy named Ma. The Liefeng Priest himself did not have any relationship with the rich man, and fortunately, some of the people he knew were Liu Liangyun, so he helped him check if what Xin Li said was true.

”Indeed,” Liu Liangyun put away the folding fan in his hand and took the cup of tea from the infirmary. ”I asked Brother Ma, he did have some business dealings with a big and cold businessman. That businessman's surname was indeed Xin, and the reason he went back on his word is because that businessman surnamed Xin's goal was impure.”

Ma Xiaonian said as a matter of fact, ”I also heard from the people I had dealings with before that he had a grudge with one of the lords in the court. I don't know which one, but to be able to make a rich person like him hide himself, I'm afraid he's not some small official. ”

He sent someone to pour a fresh pot of tea for Liu Liangyun, ”As you know, I am just a small merchant. I would never dare to offend these ministers of the court. Therefore, I would not dare to continue this business no matter what.”

”He knows how to protect himself …”

Just as he was about to ask Liu Liangyun if he had a way to find out who Xin Li's enemy was, he involuntarily wrinkled his nose and asked, ”What's that smell on Master Liu's body?”

”Me?”

Liu Liangyun lowered his head and smelled his own scent. After a while, he suddenly realized something. ”The smell of the insect repellent paste.”

”Insecticide ointment?” The infirmary repeated in a low voice: ”Does Sir Liu have bugs in his family?”

Liu Liangyun waved his hand. ”It's not me, it's Lord Zheng of the Ministry of Justice. I just came over from his house.”

”I don't know who Lord Zheng offended. Yesterday night, he was attacked inside his own mansion. This place on his face …”

Liu Liangyun drew the same line on his face, ”It's swollen.” That smell must have come from him. ”

”What kind of garden is he working on in the manor recently? He didn't even get to use the shade of the sun, and instead brought a bunch of mosquitoes. It's quite annoying.”

”Why?” He seemed to have just recalled the reason behind the question, ”Does Sir Lian like this taste?”

That's not it...

Slowly the doctor's face broke into a smile — I just have a rough idea where he went last night.
