“Knock, knock, knock-”
A clear knock on the door sounded in the ears of the two men who were having a confidential conversation. In order to prevent someone from reporting something while they were in the secret room and unable to answer, there was little soundproofing between the first secret room and the study, and someone knocking on the door outside the study could be heard in the first secret room.
“My lord, I will go and see ——”
The pharmacist opened the door of the secret room and went out to see who was knocking.
After coming over for a while, the medicine man returned, “My lord, I have just received news that Han Wenxin has secretly left this place and has gone back to the divine capital overnight.”
Overnight back to God’s Capital ——
Qing Yu laughed dumbly and said, “This Han Wenxin, still so cautious!”
Seeing the pharmacist’s puzzled look, Qing Yu explained, “Han Wenxin is cautious and has always cherished his life. His move is because he is afraid that if you know that he has already solved the problem of selling the Longevity San, in order to compete for the credit, you will simply kill him and take the credit yourself while he is deeply and seriously injured.”
The Pill Master smiled and his face looked wonderful, he cried and laughed a little and said, “At least you are a person who came out of the Mountain River Academy, although you graduated early, but you have always stayed for almost three years, so are you so afraid of death?”
“There is still a saying in Confucianism that says ‘A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall’. If you want to kill him, all you have to do is break through the protection around him, and your chances of success are quite good.
What would you do if you knew that someone might want to kill you and still have a good chance of success?”
What would you do? Run, of course. The little shrimp Pill Master of the Houtian realm said he couldn’t beat anyone, he could only run.
But that’s not the problem ah, the problem is ——
“But I didn’t want to kill him.” The pharmacist cried and laughed.
“You didn’t think about killing him, but I did,” Qing Yu smiled and narrowed his eyes, it was a way to hide the killing intent in his eyes, “If I thought about it, isn’t it the same as you thought about it?”
The idea of killing Han Wenxin had been on Qing Yu’s mind for a long time, long before he realized that Han Wenxin was a person similar to himself.
The time when the desire to kill really flooded him was when Han Wenxin did not trust the Medicine Master and went so far as to come to the Lin Chuan Mansion to intervene himself. At that meeting in front of the mansion, Qingyu had already had the idea to let Han Wenxin stay in the Linchuan Mansion.
When Qing Yu heard that Han Wenxin had negotiated a deal with the Shadow House, Qing Yu’s desire to kill him reached its peak. Han Wenxin’s interference several times had made Qing Yu decide to strike and take his life.
If someone hadn’t just knocked on the door, Qing Yu would have been planning with the medicine man by now, the time for the second a*sa*sination to take place at the mansion.
It was just a pity that Han Wenxin, a fellow whose instincts were better than a woman’s, had simply run away.
“But—but —— the sixth prince’s side ——” the pharmacist’s voice trembled a little, this was not an unappreciated hitman like Zhong Bei, Han Wenxin as the sixth prince’s staff, deeply trusted and valued by the sixth prince, if he died here, he could not get away with it.
“Don’t worry, the person who will let you off the hook, or the person who can make you take the blame, has already appeared during the daytime?” Qing Yu patted the medicine man’s shoulder as a gesture of comfort.
“Feng Yixian, stabbing Han Wenxin right in the middle of the street in broad daylight, this is determined to take his life. Given the ferocity of such jianghu people, isn’t it normal for them to fail to obtain their target’s life during the day and then come back at night?
Han Wenxin himself escaped from the residence without greeting you, without your knowledge. If the Sixth Prince were to blame, he would not be able to blame you.”
With that, Qing Yu got up and crossed over to the Medicine Master, intending to walk beyond the secret room.
“Your Excellency, you are going to ——”
“Of course I’m going to kill Han Wenxin ——” Qing Yu turned back and gave a bright smile.
“Let me teach this brother Han what ‘Murphy’s Law’ is ——”
——————
Under the dim moonlight at the beginning of the month, a carriage supported by torches was slowly heading towards Northern Zhou on the official road outside Linchuan Province.
As the man in the carriage was very badly injured, the carriage went very slowly in order to travel steadily. This also gave someone at the back the chance to catch up.
“Phew…”
The driver pulled up the reins and the horses pulling the carriage kicked and stomped a few times and stopped.
“Why did you stop?” Inside the cart, came a weak, feeble question.
“My lord,” the coachman said respectfully to the interior of the carriage, “there is a large tree ahead, straddling the middle of the official road, and the carriage cannot pa*s.”
“A big tree ——” the man chanted softly, poking his head out of the carriage.
Indeed, there was a large tree, at least a few decades old, straddling the middle of the official road, squeezing it so tightly that there was no room for the carriage to pa*s.
But ——
Although seriously injured, Han Wenxin, who is far more powerful than the coachman, could see a black figure sitting on top of the tree, blending into the night. The figure was also very familiar. Although he had only seen it once, Han Wenxin had already memorized the figure of this person.
To encounter this man here and now was an extremely bad thing for Han Wenxin, so bad that he might soon be out of luck.
However, bad as it was, Han Wenxin still held on to some hope and shouted, “What? Liu Xuande, your master wants to take Han’s life? You’d better go back and ask your master first, maybe he’s regretting it by now. If I, Han, were to die here, the Sixth Prince’s wrath would be too much for him, Zhang Qian, to bear, and it might even bring disaster to his family.”
“Hearing your threat of harming your family, he may be even more determined to kill you. After all, his family is his biggest weakness and scales. Moreover, it is clear that Feng Yixian, the ‘Axe King’ of the Cao Gang, is determined to kill you, and you have taken the initiative to leave for protection, so it’s none of his business!”
To Han Wenxin’s surprise, the voice of the dark figure above the tree was not as old and mature as he remembered, with a bit of vicissitudes, but instead seemed very young and clear, as well as —— familiar.
However, the silhouette of the figure clearly resembles the Liu Xuande in his memory ah.
“Also, I am not any Liu Xuande yo, senior brother Han Wenxin.” The young voice then said.
With the words, the black figure sitting on the tree slowly got up and walked towards the carriage.
Closer and closer, through the torch erected in front of the carriage, Han Wenxin gradually made out the face that was a little blurred due to the light.
“It’s you, Mengde -”
“It’s me, senior brother Han,” Qing Yu, who had changed his face, smiled very kindly, “senior brother, senior brother I’ve come to see you on your way ——“
