"That's all," Tang Luoyu said in a relaxed tone, "It doesn't matter if there is one less Shen Huaizhong, let him go."

Chai Jin's eyebrows twitched, but he finally withdrew his fist and snorted disgustedly, "It's cheap for him."

Soon, the four of them prepared their horses and set off towards the capital. They walked in a hurry without wearing cloaks, letting the night wind blow across their cheeks like knives and silver needles.

They rode all the way, the sky was bright and dark, the four of them only ate one meal along the way, fearing that Deng Xiuchun would find something strange and run away, so they hurried and finally arrived in the capital when it was dark the next day.

The sky was dyed black, and it was the time to hold the lanterns, the bright lights of the capital illuminated the front, the four got off their horses, and rushed to Jingfu before they had time to settle their horses.

The servants at the door were also surprised when they saw the four busy people. Xue Lince signaled that there was no need to report.

"Is Mr. Deng still at the mansion?"

Tang Luoyu casually grabbed a passing girl and asked.

The maid was holding a large basin of hot water in her hand, and a handkerchief was placed in the water. She was a little surprised to see Tang Luoyu, but she calmed down after a while.

"It's still at the house," she answered honestly, "this hot water is sent to his yard."

Ke Ran became excited when he heard this, and quickly pulled Chai Jin's sleeve. The latter was much taller, and the two of them couldn't talk at eye level. Chai Jin leaned towards him and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Ke Ran stood on tiptoe and leaned into his ear, "This is a good opportunity! Maybe this Deng Xiuchun sent someone to send hot water to take off the things on his face."

Chai Jin thought it was reasonable, and was about to inform Xue Lince, but Tang Luoyu had already brought the hot water.

"You don't have to go," she held the hot water, "we will help you, don't say anything about it."

The servant girl was very puzzled, glanced at the four of them in confusion, and then bowed to leave, "Yes, thank you, Mrs. Xue."

The four of them watched her figure disappear into the night before walking towards Deng Xiuchun's yard together. His yard was very secluded and the surroundings were considered tidy and clean, but the light in the room was extremely dim, as if it was covered with a white layer. Fog, people look at it and feel a little tired.

Chai Jin recklessly wanted to kick the door open, but Xue Lince found out in time and immediately pulled him back, "Don't worry, let's see what's going on first."

The four of them dispersed into two teams and hid under the two adjacent windows respectively. The lights in the room were dim and the windows were closed tightly.

Through a small field of vision, everyone saw Deng Xiuchun sitting tall and straight in front of a desk, with a faint candle in his hand. A swaying figure was cast on the ground, stretched extremely long by the dim light, and the atmosphere was extraordinarily special. It's weird, like the monster in the story book that will take off the human skin mask at any time.

Tang Luoyu subconsciously clenched her fingers, sweating from her palms, Xue Lince keenly sensed her uneasiness, stretched out his hand to hold her fingers, and was about to comfort her in a low voice, but suddenly saw her eyes widen, and her mouth let out a very small panic The words, "Ah...she..."

Xue Lince was startled, and when he looked through the small hole, he saw that Deng Xiuchun had really peeled off his own face, but naturally it was not a bloody scary picture under the skin, but a completely different face.

It turned out that Deng Xiuchun's face was really covered with a human skin mask. The mask was firmly attached, and the real muscles were torn out of shape. After the mask was completely torn off, everyone could tell that Deng Xiuchun had a woman's face.

"Huh?" Chai Jin was also very puzzled, "Could it be that he is still wearing a mask."

Ke Ran rolled her eyes wordlessly, "Idiot, this is Deng Xiuchun's original face, he is a woman!"

"Who!"

The two unknowingly raised the volume of their conversation, and it reached Deng Xiuchun's ears. The next moment, she grabbed the dagger hidden under the table and rushed towards the window.

Seeing that the latent plan had been revealed, the four of them simply stopped pretending. Chai Jin clenched his fist and shattered the window with a loud shout. The loud noise was accompanied by sawdust flying.

The sawdust fell, and the four of them climbed into the window one after another, blocking her escape route.

"So it was you," Deng Xiuchun narrowed his eyes, "I knew you would find out sooner or later, and I should have killed you if I knew it!"

"Heh!" Chai Jin scolded angrily, "I don't know how to repent when I'm about to die!"

Deng Xiuchun was not afraid, "It is not certain who will die and who will live!"

After finishing speaking, she suddenly took out a white porcelain bottle from her wide sleeves. They had seen this porcelain bottle many times before, and they immediately realized what was in it.

"It's a Gu worm!" Xue Lince reminded loudly, "Get out of here!"

"Suffer to death!"

Deng Xiuchun yelled and opened the seal of the porcelain bottle, and threw his arms towards them. Xue Lince subconsciously protected Tang Luoyu behind him, raised his hand and tore off the curtain hanging in the room. A fine net wraps the porcelain vase securely.

Tang Luoyu took the opportunity to pick up the seal on the ground, and sealed the bottle tightly again before the Gu worm had time to climb out of the exit. The husband and wife acted in a tacit understanding and without delay, which made Deng Xiuchun startled.

"Forget it," Ke Ran sneered, "I'm tired of watching the trick of sneak attacking with Gu insects."

Deng Xiuchun was so angry that he ground his molars, his eyes were scarlet, and a vein popped out of his forehead, "Don't think you can catch me!"

Before she finished speaking, she clenched her fist and raised her arms towards them. Chai Jin realized something was wrong and shouted, "It's a hidden weapon, hide quickly!"

He raised his leg and kicked the table over to form a wall. The four of them hid behind it. None of the belongings in the four outhouses survived.

Seeing that the four were unable to catch up for the time being, Deng Xiuchun laughed wildly, threw out a smoke bomb, and then jumped over the heads of the four, heading straight for the broken window.

Smoke rose from the room, as if paint had been poured into the water. It was hard to see the figure clearly, and tears flowed from the choking. Chai Jin covered his mouth and nose, keenly noticed the trace of Deng Xiuchun, raised his hand and pulled it out before shooting on the table. With a flick of the flying needle on his leg, the flying needle went straight towards Deng Xiuchun's back.

She didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so quick. One leg had already stepped onto the window frame, but it was still hit by a flying needle, and fell back to the ground with a "bang".

Ke Ran coughed a few times, "Quick, let's catch her! She will run away again later!"

"Don't worry," Chai Jin held Ke Ran, who was restless, "I sealed a few of her acupuncture points. This person is not good at martial arts, so I can't untie it by myself."
