Chapter Eighteen: Killing Heart (2)(1/2)

In the blink of an eye, Dugu Qian returned to the palace. Twenty days were too short. Of course Dugu Qian was unwilling to leave, but she had already been very kind to her father after she lived outside for twenty days. Before an ordinary princess left the palace, she would not have the chance to leave the palace. The favor she received was unique.

Duan Caiyan came to Changfeng's study early in the morning and said to Changfeng quietly: "I will go back to the palace tomorrow. Do you have anything to say to me?"

Changfeng looked up at Dugu Qian. Dugu Qian today was a little different. First of all, the lovely expression in the past disappeared. There seemed to be a hint of resentment in Changfeng's eyes. Changfeng put down the book in his hand and said, "Don't the princess stay for a while?"

Dugu Qian's eyes were delighted, but immediately dimmed again and said, "The father only gave Qian'er twenty days."

Changfeng sighed and said, "Okay, let Du Xiang take you back tomorrow."

Dugu Qian had not yet understood what Changfeng said, so she approached and lowered her head and asked in a low voice: "Will you send Qian'er?"

Why should I send you? It wasn't that I invited you back to live. What did I do with you and Du Xiang? But I couldn't hurt Dugu Qian's heart. Changfeng said, "Forget it, I won't go, so as not to be sad."

When Dugu Qian heard Changfeng say this, she really thought that Changfeng has feelings for her, and if she doesn’t give it, she won’t give it. She didn’t have the chance to sneak out again, and walked away with a sweet heart that was longing and sweet.

Dugu Qian's departure did not have much impact on Changfeng. Instead, Du Xiang became distraught. If Changfeng didn't want Changfeng to keep him, he would not leave the capital for the time being and find a place to live in seclusion.

The relationship between Changfeng and Xiao Xiao has steadily risen. With a formal identity, Xiao Xiao can enter and exit Changfeng's study at will. The ice on Xiao Xiao's face, known as the Ice Beauty, gradually melted away, and the smile on her face also increased. Changfeng wanted Xiao Xiao to help Cheng Xiuyun, but Xiao Xiao insisted on disagreeing. She said that she had changed her position and was unwilling to watch those poor women traded their bodies for money. Changfeng didn't want to force her. Cheng Xiuyun's pleasure boat was not like that. Only a small number of women did such things, but Xiao Xiao's thoughts were deeply rooted, and it was probably not a temporary solution to eliminate them.

Xiao Xiao, who was born in a brothel, had the same skillful means of serving people, but under her icy beautiful face, many people were discouraged. Therefore, Xiao Xiao, the courtesan, had the most deserted business in Dianjing. If it weren't for her face, she would have forced herself to sell herself long ago.

Seeing that the mansion was almost gone, Changfeng asked Guo Huaitian to call Niu Gao back and replaced another guard, but Wei Yun was still the main one.

As soon as Niu Gao came back, the purity in the mansion was suddenly broken by his loud voice. There was no way, Changfeng sent him to Cheng Xiuyun's hands, and Cheng Xiuyun had free ability to subdue the reckless man's control.

In the past few days, Lin'er's words have been lingering in her heart. Will Li Yuanchao really ask a killer to assassinate him? The more she thinks about it, the more she becomes, the more she becomes more uneasy, because she is afraid, but this torture waiting makes him a little upset. The Blood Eagle has no results. All she found was some of the usual assassinations of Yanyu Society, limited sporadic information of several killers, and the Song family's intelligence network is more powerful. It was found that someone on the street spent 200,000 taels of silver to buy Changfeng's head, but who couldn't find it out. Changfeng affirmed that Lin'er's obscure reminder was true. Moreover, the Song family also found that the killer of Yanyu Society wanted to assassinate the outside patrol envoy Shi Quan a few days ago. However, Shi Quan had two masters secretly protecting him. Yanyu Society returned in disgrace and did not get any benefits.

The leader of the Yanyu Society is also an extremely mysterious figure. It is said that even the killers under his command have never seen their leader. Moreover, the organization of the Yanyu Society is quite large, involving multiple industries, brothels, taverns, gambling houses, etc. According to the information from the Song family, there are at least three brothels, fifteen taverns, and four gambling houses in the capital. They are then attached with their names and locations, so that Changfeng will pay attention to it carefully.

Zhao Gang is indeed a good intelligence expert. He has only been in the capital for a few months and has collected many small gangs to secretly inform the Blood Eagle. Although the results are not so significant, take your time and cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry. After a long time, you will see the effect.

Guo Huai was busy recruiting talents for Changfeng. He wanted to recruit carpenters, blacksmiths, plasterers and other craftsmen related to shipbuilding. He would need as much as he could. Fortunately, there were many talents in the capital. Most of them were the craftsmen who built the palace in the past, but settled in the capital. Their skills were passed down from generation to generation. Now, as the construction of the capital is becoming more and more perfect, their living space is getting smaller and smaller, so the recruitment of workers in the river immediately attracted many craftsmen to come to the scene. Among them, a few of them were skilled craftsmen who spoke out from the Dynasty shipyard. They offended people in the shipyard and left the shipyard. They were recruited by Guo Huai at once. These people were all from the family and Xindao could not accommodate so many people at once. Fortunately, there was a Tengkong Village empty. Changfeng wrote a letter to ask Cao Ruifeng to arrange the families of these craftsmen in the Tengkong Village first, and finally solved this problem.

The calmer the more she became, the more weird it seemed. Changfeng thought of Lin'er from Xinlefang. She was also a killer. Maybe she could get some information from her mouth. I believe that as long as it was not about their own secrets, she would not hide it from her.

Du Xiang's strategy of retreating to advance played a huge role, which suddenly made the loose joint of the brothel Chu Pavilion in the capital disappear. Moreover, Cheng Xiuyun's deliberate low-key approach slowly raised the taste of the pleasure boat. Gradually, there were more customers in the pleasure boat. Especially Lin'er's Xinle Boat has been scheduled for a month later. At this time, Wan Yanniang's pleasure boat also obtained the right to enter the capital under the operation of Li Yuanchao. In this way, Li Yuanchao naturally would not allow the brothel Chu Pavilion in the capital to join forces to target foreign pleasure boats, and invisibly helped Cheng Xiuyun.

Lin'er is so popular, Changfeng naturally won't disturb her when she is doing business, as this will cause unnecessary trouble. After the last guest on the pleasure boat, she floated on the Xinle boat.

The two maids at the cabin door looked in surprise as the ghostly Changfeng appeared in front of them. Fortunately, they had received strict training and did not scream in surprise.

Changfeng said to the two girls: "I'll inform you that Changfeng has something to do to see Miss Lin'er."

A girl hurriedly walked in and made a message. Lin'er's tired face flashed with light, and she murmured to herself: "He is still here." Then she ordered someone to be invited in.

"You are here." Lin'er said the first sentence when she saw Changfeng.

Changfeng was stunned and said, "Miss Lin'er knows Changfeng is coming?"

Lin'er nodded and said, "Mr. Wisdom, what can Lin'er hide from it?"

Changfeng couldn't help but admire the beauty in front of him who was not like that. It was a pity to be a killer and said, "Miss Lin'er is a miserable person."

"Sir, are you here to ask Yanyuhui? Or the Storm Tower?" Lin'er asked with a smile.

"Misty Rain Comes." Changfeng said in front of her.

Lin'er poured a glass of wine into the cup in front of Changfeng and said, "Sir, drink this cup first, and then listen to Lin'er's slow description?"

"Okay." Changfeng agreed readily, picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Lin'er looked at Changfeng with affectionately drinking the wine in the glass, and then drank the fine wine in his glass and said, "Lin'er can only taste the true taste of the wine when drinking with her husband. Can she come to accompany Lin'er more in the future?"

Changfeng lowered his head and hesitated, "As long as Miss Lin'er doesn't dislike it, Changfeng naturally has no objection."

Lin'er suddenly laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that those people in your family will be jealous? Lin'er knows that Mr. has just married the courtesan from Dianjing home."

Changfeng blushed and smiled, "Miss Lin'er's information is really good. There is such a thing, but it's just an engagement and has not yet gotten married."

Lin'er giggled and said, "Mr. Yanfu made Lin'er a little jealous. I don't know if Lin'er has no place to go after she becomes a good person. I don't know if Mr. can take it in?"

Changfeng was stunned. He was a little confused and said, "Miss Lin'er is planning to get from that good guy?"

"Is there any difference?" Lin'er asked with her head down.

"Of course there is. If Miss Lin'er just walked down the pleasure boat, Changfeng would not dare to take it in, but if Miss Lin'er put down the knife in her hand, then Changfeng could consider it." Changfeng smiled wickedly. He had such a little meaning to Lin'er, and he couldn't say he liked it, and he still had a good impression. Due to her identity, Changfeng did not dare to have a deep relationship for the time being. After having Xiao Xiao, he felt much more relaxed and no longer deliberately concealed his good feelings. Lin'er was the kind he had feelings, smart but lively, and could figure it out. With a small hint, he could understand the meaning of both parties. The impression he had first met was extremely profound, so when he saw Lin'er again, he realized that the first person he liked was Lin'er, not Cao Ruifeng, especially the unique fragrance on Lin'er.

"Come on, let's have another drink." Lin'er gave Changfeng again and was filled with the wine channel.

Changfeng looked at Lin'er, picked up the wine glass again and said, "Ms. Lin'er wants to get Changfeng drunk? You must know that Changfeng is lustful and famous. What will happen then? Miss Lin'er should not regret it?"

Lin'er smiled sweetly and said shyly: "When did you learn so badly? How can you say such words?"

Changfeng put down his wine glass and said, "Changfeng is not a gentleman. There are countless people who die in Changfeng's hands, and they are not necessarily bad people, so Miss Lin'er must not think about getting Changfeng drunk."

Lin'er smiled and said, "Lin'er has heard of the deeds of Mr. Lin'er, but Lin'er believes that Mr. will not destroy the flowers with harsh hands."

When talking to Lin'er, Changfeng didn't have to worry about anything. Some things he could not say or was ashamed to say could be said. Moreover, the strange true energy that had been dormant for a long time cooperated with the strange atmosphere between the two. The teasing of words began to look up in his body, indirectly affecting Changfeng's thinking. So he laughed evilly, and seemed to be a little drunk: "It is not necessarily possible to destroy flowers with a harsh hand, but it may be possible to pick flowers with a harsh hand!"

"Do you know if you drink another glass of wine and you will get drunk?" Lin'er reminded Changfengdao intentionally or unintentionally.

"I know, the lady's wine is really intoxicating, so I pour it in three cups." Changfeng looked at her with a smile.

Lin'er was panicked. Changfeng told himself clearly that he had already known the secret of wine. He calmly said: "With Mr.'s alcohol, how can he fall down three glasses? Lin'er said it wrong."

Changfeng picked up the wine glass, and a divine light shot into Lin'er's eyes, as if seeing through Lin'er's whole thoughts, suddenly suppressed the dormant true energy and restored the gods. He said in a deep voice: "A year ago, Changfeng tasted this wine, so Changfeng understood after drinking the first glass of wine. That night, I was not drunk, but the problem with this wine, right, Miss Lin'er?"

Lin'er was suddenly panicked and said calmly: "Sir, you are so amazing. Mr. Lin'er's little tricks are broken when he sees it."

Changfeng suddenly changed his smile, which made Lin'er's nervous heart feel a little relieved, and said, "It's not that Changfeng is powerful, but there is a reason Miss Lin'er doesn't understand."

"What's the reason?" Lin'er asked in confusion.

"Sometimes people only suffer the first loss." Changfeng said leisurely.

"Why don't sir ask Lin'er what to do?" Lin'er calmed down and asked when she saw that Changfeng had no intention of attacking her.

"Changfeng doesn't need to ask anymore. I don't want to kill you. Isn't it a big problem if I ask?" Changfeng hit Lin'er's heart word by word.

Lin'er's face was pale and she said in a trembling voice: "You get it."

Changfeng nodded and said, "You gave me a hint and took me astray. Miss Lin'er is such a clever method."

"What do you want to deal with Lin'er?" Lin'er knew that she had lost. A killer could not complete the task. She had only two ways to go. She betrayed her own organization and would never be a killer from now on, but she was desperate and was chased by the organization. The second way was left to the person who was killed. Usually there was only death, but Lin'er was a little different. She was the daughter of the leader of the killer organization, and the next leader, and there was only the second way to go.

"I want to know who bribed you and killed me." Changfeng asked.

Lin'er refused: "The killer cannot reveal the employer's name, the sir should know."

Changfeng looked up at her and said, "If you don't say it, Changfeng can guess it, but you are not suitable to stay in the pleasure boat anymore. Pack up your things and leave tomorrow."

Changfeng stood up and wanted to leave Xinlefang, but Lin'er said behind him: "Lin'er can leave, but Lin'er still wants to kill Mr. This is the responsibility of a killer. I hope that Mr. will not show mercy next time. If Mr. lets Lin'er go, this kindness will only be repaid in the next life."

Changfeng turned around and said, "Can't you give up this mission? If you leave the killer organization, I will ensure your safety."

"Sir, there are enemies everywhere, how can we get the strength to protect Lin'er's safety?" Lin'er asked back.

"Then there is nothing you can do. Since you don't plan to give up your mission, Changfeng can only capture you and then talk about it." After saying that, Changfeng stretched out his hand and pointed at several acupoints on Lin'er's body.

Lin'er closed her eyes, and a tear oozed from the corners of her eyes, allowing Changfeng to deal with it. At this moment, Yun Niang appeared, forcing Changfeng's fingers to retreat with one move, and looked at Changfeng coldly.

Changfeng looked at this familiar face carefully. The first time Changfeng went to Xinlefang was invited by this middle-aged woman named Yun Niang. Unexpectedly, she had extremely powerful martial arts, and it seemed that she was not under the Ghost Face True Lord. Such a master was hidden in Xinlefang's pleasure boat. Changfeng's expression became solemn, and it seemed that she was a little troublesome tonight.

Lin'er opened her eyes and found that she was fine. Her mother was confronting Changfeng and called out anxiously: "Mom!"

Changfeng was shocked. This old woman was Lin'er's mother. What was going on?

Yun Niang stared at Changfeng with her eyes. She also felt that Changfeng's martial arts skills were extremely high. Even if she took power tonight, she would have no chance of winning. A head of 200,000 taels of silver was not so easy to get. She regretted taking the business and pushed Lin'er away and said, "Lin'er, stand aside, no matter what happens later, leave first."

"No need, as long as you mother and daughter give up this business, Changfeng will not make things difficult for you, and will also help you mother and daughter get rid of the killer organization." Changfeng said.

Yun Niang relaxed her vigilance and said, "Are you really willing to let us mother and daughter go?"

"Of course, I keep my word?" Changfeng promised.

"Why did you let us go?" Yun Niang asked in disbelief.

Changfeng glanced at Lin'er and said, "Ling Ai is very suitable for my temper. Moreover, you orphans and widows are just a businessman. You can have one less enemy in the world and try to reduce one as much as possible."

Suddenly, a slight fluctuation of breathing outside the pleasure boat. Changfeng and Yun Niang discovered it at the same time and shouted: "Who!"

"Me." A figure flew into the cabin quickly, it was Guo Huai.

"Why are you here?" Changfeng asked in surprise. Changfeng came out quietly this time without disturbing anyone. How did Guo Huai know.

Guo Huai smiled and said, "The lord went out to steal jade and incense. How could Guo Huai not guard the side?"

Changfeng and Lin'er blushed when they said this, but there was no reason to refute it. They stayed alone with a top card in the middle of the night, and there seemed to be nothing else to say except for love.

When Yun Niang saw Guo Huai's actions just now, she was another master. Her vigilance immediately increased by three points. Although there were many masters on the ship, it seemed to be useless.

Changfeng asked, "Are you the only one?"

Guo Huai smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course, this kind of good thing will not be Guo Huai alone."

"Why didn't I find them?" Changfeng said strangely. With his current skills, Niu Gao and others could detect them as soon as they entered within thirty feet of their own. Why haven't they discovered them yet?"

"They are afraid of disturbing their lord's good things, so they are lurking in the water, so the lord naturally can't find it." Guo Huai explained.

Changfeng suddenly realized that it was difficult to detect the potential water. He could easily know the fluctuations in the air. He could not detect the movements in the water, and naturally he could not detect the movements in the water.

Yun Niang began to be depressed. She originally thought that even if she couldn't keep Changfeng, she would not suffer any losses. But she knew that the other side's masters would come out together and it would be difficult to get out tonight.

"What is your identity in the Secret Narcissus?" Guo Huai asked Yun Niang the first person.

"Sorry, the identity of the killer cannot be leaked." Yun Niang coldly rejected Guo Huai's question.
To be continued...
