"I'm fine!" Luo Xin said softly.

Hearing that Luo Xin was fine, Wan Daquan breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and cursed at the guards:
"Don't chase after me? You idiot!"

"Forget it!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "You guys can't catch up anymore."

The faces of Wan Daquan and the others turned red suddenly, and they all lowered their heads and dared not look at Luo Xin.Wan Daquan suddenly raised his head and said:

"My lord, please go back to the house, don't stand on the wall, it's dangerous here."

Luo Xin glanced at Wan Daquan, and Wan Daquan blushed.Only then did he realize that if it wasn't for Luo Xin's martial arts, he might have been killed by the killer at this time.Luo Xin discovered the killer first, but they all slept like dead pigs, even the guards didn't find the killer.Thinking of this, he glared his murderous eyes at the guards standing guard.

"Plop!" The guards standing guard knelt on the ground, wiping their knives at their own necks.

"Forget it!" Luo Xin's voice sounded in time, and the hands of those guards stopped, Luo Xin looked at them and said:

"The weirdness of the Jianghu people is not something you can guard against, so be more vigilant in the future!"

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" The guards stood up and stood there with their heads down, their faces full of shame.

"How many scouts do we have?" Luo Xin looked at Wan Daquan.

"Eight!" Wan Daquan replied immediately.

"Secretly send four scouts to monitor the station outside, don't do anything, just know who the target is."

"Yes, my lord!"

Wan Daquan immediately called four scouts and gave some instructions in a low voice, and the four scouts quickly disappeared into the night.Luo Xin came to the window, bent down and picked up a bamboo tube from the ground, he knew it was Mixiang, threw Mixiang to Wan Daquan who was beside him, and returned to his room, Wan Daquan followed into the room, Qiqi Ai Ai said:

"Master Hou..."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault, it's because the assassin's skill is too high."

As soon as Luo Xin finished speaking, he saw a guard come in and saluted, "Master Hou, the post officials are asking to see you."

"Tell them it's okay!"

"Yes! Master Hou!" The guard retreated.

"Lord Hou!" Wan Daquan said with a twitch in his heart: "The assassin is probably hidden in the post station, we will search door by door."

Luo Xin glared at him and said, "Is your head a lump of elm? The people living in this station are all officials of the Ming Dynasty, and you let me search door by door? Spread the word, this Marquis still has a foothold in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty land?"

"This……"

"Okay! Just be more vigilant in the future, you go down."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Wan Daquan backed out, Luo Xin looked at the broken window, shook his head, pushed the door and went out.Then he saw Wan Daquan standing outside, instead of the guards, he was on duty there himself, and when he saw Luo Xin coming out, he hurriedly saluted:
"Master Hou!"

"Find me a room."

"Yes! Master Hou!" Wan Daquan also reacted at this time, and hurriedly led the way to a room. Luo Xin walked into the room and said:
"Make me a pot of tea!"

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Luo Xin sat at the table, holding a cup of tea in his hand.Thinking about it, my heart is trembling. If it wasn't for the complicated things in my mind tonight, I couldn't sleep, and I woke up again and again at night, I am afraid that I would have been stunned by the killer and killed.

It's also a coincidence, when Luo Xin got up at night for the last time, he felt thirsty, so he came to the table to drink tea, feeling stuffy, so he wanted to open the window to get some air, but when he looked at the window When I was there, I found the small hole in the window.Immediately there was a chill in his heart, Luo Xin had read a lot of novels in his previous life for this kind of quack trick, and he knew immediately that someone was going to kill him.However, he was afraid that he would go out rashly, startle the assassin, and let the assassin run away, so Luo Xin returned to the bed as before, but this time he did not lie on the bed, but sat on the bed with his feet on the ground, ready to go. When he was about to rush out, he even took out a dagger in his hand and stared at the window, only then did what happened later.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Luo Xin also felt sleepy, thinking that after the assassination just now, there should be no more assassins coming, so Luo Xin put a long sword under the pillow, and put it together. Yi lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Besides, Lu Fang, since his two subordinates left, he sat at the table and waited quietly.However, with the passage of time, his two subordinates have not come back, and there is no movement from Luo Xin, he gradually lost his composure, and a look of anxiety gradually appeared on his face.In the end, he couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and walked back and forth on the ground.

Looking up at the sky, it was almost four o'clock, but his two subordinates still didn't come back, and there was no movement from Luo Xin, which made his heart more and more uneasy, just as his patience was about to reach its limit At that time, he suddenly heard a noise coming from Luo Xin's courtyard.He rushed to the window in one step, trying to open the window to look, but when his hands touched the window, he stopped, slowly withdrew his hands, stood there with his hands behind his back, and listened.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Luo Xin fell silent.But he didn't see his two men come back, which made his heart hang.But when he heard the voice from the post station, he knew that someone had come out, so he turned around and came to the door, pushed the door and walked out, and saw many officials in the post station came out, discussing in a low voice .

"Brother Yu, what did you hear just now?"

"I seem to have heard an assassin."

"Could someone want to assassinate Luo Hou?"

"........."

Lu Fang's gaze focused, and he saw that the postmaster of the post station was walking towards Luo Xin's courtyard in a panic, he pondered for a moment, then followed him, and at the same time cupped his hands at the surrounding officials:

"Let's go see Luo Hou too!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

"Go together! Go together!"

They followed the postmaster to the outside of Luo Xin's courtyard, but were stopped by the guards. After a while, the guards turned back and said:

"Master Hou is fine, please go back, my lords!"

At such a time, everyone couldn't force to see Luo Xin, so they turned back one by one.Lu Fang returned to her courtyard, saw her guards were still looking around curiously, and went straight back to her room. After entering her room, she closed the door with her backhand, and came to the room in two steps. In front of the table, he grabbed the teapot on the table and drank a pot of tea with a "gulp" at the spout of the teapot. Then he put down the teacup, and cold sweat oozes from his back.

Up to now, two of his subordinates have not come back, which made him worry whether Luo Xin had caught those two people, or whether they were interrogating his two subordinates at this time.

If Luo Xin really caught two of his subordinates and asked him out, then he would be in danger.Although he is also a fourth-rank official, the same rank as Luo Xin.It stands to reason that even if Luo Xin is interrogated, he can deny it, and then go to the capital to file a lawsuit. With his background in the Lu family's old family, he may not have a way out.

but……

Everyone knew that besides being a literati, Luo Xin also had the identity of a warrior.Once Luo Xin was sure that he was the murderer behind the scenes, he didn't play the cards according to common sense, and sent someone to assassinate him, what should we do?
Cold sweat began to ooze from his forehead, and his body began to tremble slightly. As time passed, his heart became more and more uneasy, and his body trembled more and more. Finally, he could no longer stand up and sat on his buttocks. on the chair.

The sky is gradually getting brighter!

Lu Fang's heart was still flustered, and his face had become abnormally pale.His two subordinates still did not come back, which made him feel more and more uneasy.

Suddenly, he heard a noisy sound coming from Luo Xin's courtyard, he was so frightened that his whole body went limp, and a voice emerged in his heart.

"Roxin is here to catch me!"

but……

Then he heard noisy voices gradually going out of the post station, and soon disappeared.Lu Fangteng jumped up from the chair. At this moment, she didn't know where the strength came from. She quickly pushed open the door, waved her hand and summoned a guard, saying:

"Luo Hou left?"

"My lord, Luo Hou just left." The guard said hastily.

"Have you seen Luo Hou?"

"Go back to my lord, I saw it."

"Quickly tell me, how will Luohou react?" Lu Fang stared at the guard closely.

The guard shook his head in confusion and said, "No...what a reaction!"

Lu Fang calmed down at this moment, narrowed her eyes slightly and thought: "Could it be that Luo Xin didn't catch my own person, but hurt Luo Xin? It's probably so!"

Thinking of this, his spirit couldn't help being lifted again, but then his face froze again, and he thought to himself:

"No! If Luo Xin was injured, why didn't my people come back?"

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Pack up your things, let's leave!"

"Yes, my lord!"

On the way to Datong.A figure stood in the middle of the road, but it was the little tiger dressed as the schoolboy next to Lu Fang.On the opposite side of him was a procession slowly approaching, the carriage in the middle stopped, Xiaohu walked quickly to the front of the carriage, the carriage door opened, Xiaohu entered the carriage with a light jump, the carriage door closed, the team Have started to move forward.

inside the carriage.

Xiaohu knelt in front of Lu Fang, and whispered the story of assassinating Luo Xin, Lu Fang's face became very ugly.Ning Sheng asked:
"Are you sure Luo Xin didn't follow you?"

"The villain is sure!" Xiaohu nodded.

"Where's your elder brother?"

Xiaohu said bitterly: "My elder brother is dead, and I have already buried him."

"No trace left?"

"no!"

Lu Fang pondered for a while and said: "You return to Suzhou immediately and tell my elder brother what happened."

"Yes!"

Xiaohu opened the carriage door and jumped out, got a horse from a guard, got on the horse, and galloped away.

inside the carriage.

Lu Fang murmured sullenly, "Luo Xin, the southeast is not the north. Even if you are the god of war, you will die! How can the barbarians in the northern grassland compare with our family, haha..."

Three days later.

Wan Daquan rode to Luo Xin's carriage and knocked on the door lightly.The carriage opened, revealing Luo Xin's face.Wan Daquan said softly:
"Master Hou, the scouts are back."

Luo Xin's eyes lit up and said: "But what did you find?"

Wan Daquan shook his head in frustration and said, "No! The four scouts waited until all the officials in the station had left, but they didn't find any clues."

Luo Xin pondered for a while and said, "Let them return to the team."

"Yes!"

"How long until Hangzhou?"

"There are still three days to go."

Luo Xin pondered for a while and said, "Let's go to Suzhou first."

"Yes! Lord Marquis!"

Just as Luo Xin was about to close the car door, he suddenly saw the desolation outside, so he poked his head out and looked ahead, and saw a mountain range in front of him, and this road passed between the two peaks of this mountain range, Luo Xin couldn't help but Frowning, there is no one in front of him, and there is a caravan behind him.There are about 200 people.Luo Xin said to Wan Daquan:

"Da Quan, what do you think of the terrain?"

Wan Daquan is also a veteran, and also a lieutenant general. He has led soldiers before, but now he came from the turbulent north to the peaceful south. He didn't pay attention to the terrain. Now when he heard Luo Xin's words, he looked forward and took a breath. Air-conditioning channel:

"What a place to ambush."

After saying that, his expression changed, and he remembered Luo Xin's assassination a few days ago, so he couldn't help stammering:
"Master Hou...thieves...they wouldn't... be so bold, would they?"

"Even the post station dares to go in and assassinate the Marquis, what else are they afraid to do?"

"Then us?"

"Stop first!"

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Even if Luo Xin refused to give orders at this time, Wan Daquan did not dare to let Luo Xin take risks, and immediately ordered the team to stop.Put up a defensive formation.The caravan behind them stopped when they saw Luo Xin in front of them, and they also stopped inexplicably.

"Daquan, go to the back and find a businessman who often walks this way."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Wan Daquan left in a hurry, and soon came over with a thin middle-aged man. The man came to Luo Xin, bowed and saluted:

"Grassmen pay respects to your lord!"

Luo Xin nodded and said, "Do you often walk this way?"

"Yes, my lord, Caomin has been traveling on this road for more than ten years."

"Have there been bandits here?"

The businessman thought for a while and nodded, "It happened ten years ago, but it was quickly suppressed by the government. Since then, there have been no bandits."

Speaking of this, he suddenly reacted and said, "My lord, do you think there will be bandits here?"

Luo Xin nodded and said, "Not bad!"

The middle-aged businessman smiled and said, "My lord, no, I just passed by here last month."

After the words fell, a flattering look appeared on his face and said: "My lord, the grass people can open the way for you."

Just as Luo Xin was about to shake his head, he suddenly stopped and said, "Then you guys go there first."

"Yes, my lord!"
