Chapter 207 The Guard Hiding in the Dark
After a night of heavy rain, the weather turned sunny.

The weather is still hot.

The sky is clear and the sun is scorching.

On the official road, several figures rushed around.

A heavy rain washed the official road all over, and the corpse of the official road was gradually discovered by passing merchants.

"Son!"

A guard in brocade uniform stepped into the pavilion quickly and knelt down on one knee.

"My lord, many masters we sent were all attacked and killed in Qingshui County to varying degrees!"

"Zhou Mo, a disciple of the third generation of Tianmen, and his junior sister were killed..."

"Someone from the Wanxiang sect was also killed..."

"The murderer is almost certainly the same person!"

"..."

Inside the pavilion, there was silence.

The man dressed in brocade was sitting in the pavilion with a calm expression, leisurely picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip.

Around the pavilion, there were several figures standing.

After taking a few sips of tea slowly, the man in brocade clothes glanced at the guard indifferently: "Have you found out who it is?"

The guard bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "This subordinate is incompetent, and we haven't found out yet..."

"Several people were killed. They all died under the sword. The other party is obviously a master who is very good at using swords!"

"With a knife?"

The man in brocade clothes narrowed his eyes slightly: "If I remember correctly, Lu Jianhai seems to be good at using knives. He is also in Qingshui County?"

The guard said in a deep voice: "Lu Jianhai is indeed good at using knives, but... Lu Jianhai is no more than a second-rate master in the rivers and lakes, and this time he attacked and killed Zhou Mo's man, his strength is unfathomable..."

"Judging from the injuries on Zhou Mo's body, it seems that he was killed before he could resist at all... The opponent is probably a first-rate master!"

"A first-class expert?"

Hearing this, the man in brocade clothes' eyes lit up obviously.

He slowly raised his head and looked into the distance.

In the distance of the pavilion, there are endless vegetation and official roads.

"interesting……"

He muttered to himself, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "I really underestimated Qingshui County, there are first-class experts here?"

"Or... is he the guard from back then?"

The man in brocade clothes muttered to himself for a while, and then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Go, go to Qingshui County to have a look!"

"..."

Catkins is gone!

After deciding to go to the capital, she began to prepare to leave.

Of course, she didn't need to prepare anything.

When she came here a few months ago, she was alone, except for the 'Silver Moon' she was carrying beside her, she didn't even bring any clothes.

So before leaving this time, she still went into battle lightly.

But before going to the capital, Liu Xu stayed in Qingshui County for two more days.

It was a long journey to the capital this time, including the round trip and the possible delay in the capital, which meant that Shen Lin and Liu Xu might be separated for a long time.

It's still summer now, at least it will be autumn when the two meet again!

Therefore, catkins stayed for two more days.

And Shen Lin also took a leave of absence from the county government, taking advantage of these two days to accompany Liu Xu around Qingshui County.

He has been working in Qingshui County for almost three years. Apart from the small fishing village, Shen Lin has not actually been to many places.

Taking advantage of these two days, the two walked around, enjoying the quiet and rare time for the two of them.

At night, Liu Xu came to help Shen Lin stretch his meridians as usual.

Shen Lin originally wanted to take it easy, dredging her meridians so frequently would have some impact on her body.

But Liu Xu didn't give up, she was about to leave here, and took advantage of the last two days to help Shen Lin recover from his injuries as much as possible.

Shen Lin was very moved.

Ready to make a promise.

But was rejected by Liu Xu!
……

early morning.

Shen Lin woke up from the bed, there was no catkins around him, leaving half of the bed empty.

The air in the room was still filled with the familiar faint fragrance, but the person had disappeared.

Catkins is gone!

She did not say goodbye to Shen Lin, but chose to leave quietly.

Shen Lin knew that this was her character.

but……

She will definitely be back.

After Shen Lin pondered for a while on the bed, he slowly got up.

Get dressed and go out.

"Brother Shen Lin, good morning!"

"morning!"

Lin Miaomiao greeted Shen Lin with a smile all over her face, looked at Shen Lin with a pair of smart eyes, and subconsciously looked behind Shen Lin tentatively: "Sister Liu Xu, she..."

"Going to the capital!"

"Huh? So fast?"

Lin Miaomiao was taken aback for a moment, she was about to say hello to Sister Liu Xu and say goodbye.

"That's her personality, let her go."

Shen Lin chuckled, but didn't take it too seriously, rubbed Miao Miao's head, and chuckled: "Okay, it's getting late, I'm going to the county government first!"

"Skipping breakfast?"

"Don't eat now, stay at home and don't run around!"

"Oh."

"..."

When Shen Lin stepped into the county government office, it was in a mess.

He asked for leave for two days, and there were a lot of things waiting for him in the county office.

Shen Lin is no longer a small catcher now, as a head catcher entrusted by the county magistrate, he has a lot of trivial things to do on weekdays.

It was almost noon when things were arranged and the patrol schedule was all arranged.

Shen Lin looked at the time, it was almost time to go back to eat.

So, Shen Lin got up and walked towards the county office.

As soon as Shen Lin stepped out of the county office, he saw a figure standing on the street not far from the door.

Dressed in red.

Promise!

She leaned against the pillar, lowered her eyes slightly, held the sword in both hands, glanced at him indifferently, and said nothing.

But Shen Lin knew that she was looking for him.

This girl never came to him casually.

So, Shen Lin walked forward slowly and said, "Miss Xu, are you looking for me?"

Xu Nuo looked Shen Lin up and down with cold eyes, and was silent for a moment.

"she left?"

It was self-evident who she was referring to.

Shen Lin was a little surprised: "You also know this?"

But then she realized that she was from Fengtiansi, and it was strange that Fengtiansi knew Liu Xu's whereabouts.

After all, Liu Xu did not hide her whereabouts when she left this time.

Shen Lin nodded: "That's right."

"Where did she go?" Xu Nuo asked again.

"The capital..." Shen Lin glanced at her: "Shouldn't you find out?"

Xu Nuo was expressionless, as if thinking about something, silent.

"You came to me today to ask this?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Lin asked again.

After Xu Nuo was silent for a moment, he looked up at him again, and said suddenly.

"Wu Xing is here."

"Wu Xing?"

Hearing this name, Shen Lin's eyes suddenly became serious.

"he came?"

"where?"

Xu Nuo's eyes were cold, and he looked not far away: "I, Feng Tiansi, just received the information. This time, the Wu family sent many experts to Qingshui County, and even Wu Xing came in person...No surprises, he is almost here."

Shen Lin looked extremely dignified.

Many masters have been sent?
Wu Xing is here too?
What is his purpose in coming here in person?
To avenge his brother himself?

Seemingly seeing Shen Lin's doubts, Xu Nuo remained expressionless: "Wu Xing came here in person this time, the purpose is not simple. His goal..."

Xu Nuo paused for a moment, his eyes suddenly became more solemn: "I'm afraid it's because of the one in your family!"

Shen Lin suddenly raised his head and stared at her: "What does Wu Xing know?"

"It doesn't matter whether he knows it or not. The important thing is that Lin Miaomiao's identity can no longer be concealed!"

Xu Nuo said calmly: "Whether she is the person we are looking for or not, Wu Xing will definitely not let her go... She will be very dangerous next time!"

Shen Lin's heart sank.

He knew that the days in Qingshui County would not be peaceful, but he didn't expect that the situation might be even worse than he imagined.

Even Wu Xing is here?

Such a big fight, just to avenge Wu Yuan?

"At this moment, there is only one way."

Xu Nuo looked at Shen Lin, and said slowly: "Give her to me, I can protect her safety!"

Shen Lin didn't speak, just looked at her calmly.

"you do not trust me?"

Shen Lin asked back, "Do you think I should trust you?"

Xu Nuo frowned: "If I want to take her away, you can't stop me."

Shen Lin said calmly: "You can try."

There was a hint of anger between Xu Nuo's brows: "You can't protect him. When people from the Wu family come, she will fall into the hands of the Wu family, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Shen Lin said: "Even you are still not sure whether Miao Miao is the person you are looking for, how can I trust you?"

In all fairness, Shen Lin believed her.

However, Shen Lin could not hand over Miao Miao to her.

Promised silence.

Indeed, she is still not sure whether Lin Miaomiao is the little princess she is looking for.

The only thing that can prove Lin Miaomiao's identity is the guard back then, or maybe... Lin Miaomiao's father?

It's just a pity that that person hasn't shown up yet.

As if thinking of something, Xu Nuo's eyes suddenly froze, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "The Wu family has sent so many masters to Qingshui County this time, even the masters of Tianmen and Wanxiangzong have been invited..."

"However, two days ago, a master of the Wu family was suddenly attacked by a mysterious master in Qingshui County, causing heavy casualties..."

When Xu Nuo spoke, he kept staring at Shen Lin, trying to see something on Shen Lin's face.

Shen Lin looked calm.

But there were already waves in his heart.

Mysterious master?

Could it be that……

"You still have the last time to think about it!"

Xu Nuo gave Shen Lin a deep look for the last time: "Give Lin Miaomiao to me, I will take her back to the capital, maybe I can save her life..."

"Once she falls into the hands of the Wu family, no matter whether she is the person we are looking for, she will definitely not survive."

After speaking, Xu Nuo turned and left.

The rest of Shen Lin stood there, frowning, not saying a word.

……

In a clean yard.

Xu Nuo walked in slowly, his eyes fell on the figure in the pavilion in the courtyard beside him.

A girl in a light green long dress lay prone in the pavilion in a daze.

"Sister Nuo?"

Xu Nuo stepped into the pavilion slowly, and the girl greeted her feebly, her eyes were blank and she seemed not energetic.

Xu Nuo frowned slightly, as if she suddenly became like this two days ago.

"Wu Xing is coming."

Xu Nuo sat down opposite her and spoke slowly.

"Wu Xing?"

Lin Qian subconsciously asked, "What is he doing here?"

and many more……

When Lin Qian heard the name, she gradually came to her senses, turned her head to stare at Xu Nuo, with a surprised expression, "He came to Qingshui County?"

"Ah."

"What is he doing here?!"

This time, Lin Qian's tone became obviously serious: "To avenge Wu Yuan?"

"On the one hand."

"on the one hand?"

Lin Qian was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes suddenly became serious: "Is he also here for the little Princess?"

Xu Nuo said calmly: "The Wu family was murdered so badly back then, how could they let it go?"

"yes……"

As if thinking of something, Lin Qian sighed, "Back then, the Wu family was just one step away from ascending to the sky. If what happened back then, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Wu family would probably be the Prime Minister of the court now... No wonder they would be so kind to you. That guard hated him so much back then, and I would do the same!"

Xu Nuo glanced at her and said calmly, "We need to make plans early."

"What's the plan?"

"I can't stop Wu Xing."

Xu Nuo's voice was slightly cold: "If he wants to attack the little princess, I'm not completely sure."

Lin Qian turned her head: "Is she really the princess?"

"pretty close!"

"Then take her away!"

Lin Qian said, "Our Fengtian Division can still be afraid of their Wu family?"

Xu Nuo gave her a complicated look, and said after a while, "He won't allow it."

he?
Lin Qian realized later who Xu Nuo was talking about.

As if remembering something, Lin Qian's expression was in a daze, but she quickly came back to her senses: "You don't care if he's right or not, just grab him... If he doesn't want to, I'll drug him and kidnap him together! "

Ms. Lin always pays attention to efficiency in handling affairs!
"I'm afraid not."

Xu Nuo shook his head slightly, squinted his eyes and said: "I have always had a hunch that if Lin Miaomiao is really the little princess we are looking for, then her father must be the guard back then..."

"Although he didn't show up, I can feel that he must be hiding in the dark."

Back then, the guard was able to survive nine deaths and one out of ten thousand armies, which was enough to show that he was unfathomable.

How could such a person hand Lin Miaomiao into Shen Lin's hands so casually.

"With him here, we can't take him away."

Lin Qian was taken aback, "You mean, he's been secretly watching us?"

"Not necessarily all the time, but definitely watching."

Xu Nuo said calmly.

"What should I do?"

Lin Qian waved her hand, "Should we just do nothing? When the Wu family arrives, we will fall into a passive position."

Xu Nuo glanced at her: "I have reported this matter to the princess in advance."

As early as half a month ago, she had already reported everything that happened in Qingshui County to the princess.

"What did the princess say?"

It was only then that Lin Qian remembered that the two of them were ordered by the princess to come to Qingshui County to find the whereabouts of the little princess.

Originally, they came to investigate secretly, but they did not expect the news to leak out, and people from the Wu family came to find them.

No one thought that Wu Yuan would die here.

Wu Yuan's death completely brought this matter to the fore.

This time Wu Xing came here, almost torn his face.

So……

Naturally, they had to ask the princess for instructions on this matter.

"The princess wrote yesterday."

Xu Nuo nodded slightly.

Lin Qian asked, "Then what did the princess say?"

"The princess said..."

Xu Nuo was silent for a while, as if thinking of something, he looked at Lin Qian with complicated eyes, then slowly withdrew his gaze and turned away.

She said lightly: "She is already on her way to Qingshui County!"

"..."
