The man in black came and went like the wind, and he had less than ten breaths from entering the room to disappearing through the window. This was obviously a clever killer. Before he acted, he had even observed the layout of the West Courtyard.

When Cao An entered the house, Lu Xin was bleeding from his mouth and nose and was completely unconscious. Cao An was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. After more than a day, he came back to his senses and began to shout loudly. The outside of the house was soon surrounded by people. Liu Laizi, the butler of the West Courtyard, was the first to arrive. He was also accompanied by the A-class servant of the South Courtyard, Feng Li.

When the two saw Lu Xin's injuries, their faces were a little strange. However, in front of everyone, Liu Laizi did not say anything to Feng Li. Instead, they sent someone to find a doctor for Lu Xin, tied up Cao An, and found Lu Xin's twenty-eight taels of silver under the bed.

The mute Wu's residence was not far from Lu Xin, but he did not appear that night. As soon as the man in black left the Xu mansion, he found someone following him. He went to the bamboo forest in the south of the city, and the other party did not disappear.

At this time, if we walked further, it would be the river. The man in black obviously did not prepare the ship in advance, so he had to stop and turn around.

"Your wisely knows the flaws, but I deliberately lets me hear the flaws. What is the purpose? If you are here to kill me, then let's do it now."

The man in black has been a killer for many years and claims that he can be ranked among the top in the world of light skills. But no matter how he shakes the person behind him, he can't get rid of him. Obviously, the opponent's martial arts and internal strength are far above him. Faced with such a person, if the other party has the intention to kill, he can't get rid of him.

The mute Wu saw that he stopped and slowly walked out of the darkness. Under the moonlight, he carried his left hand and his right fingers formed a sword, and carved lines of hand on the bamboo beside him. Seeing this scene, the man in black suddenly changed his eyes and even his breathing became rapid.

"Who is senior? With your martial arts, let alone a small Xu Mansion, even the imperial palace cannot tolerate it."

In just a few breaths, the man in black was sweating all over. In the world, there were very few people who could use their fingers to carve words on bamboo. Even if they could do it, they had to use their internal strength. But the person in front of him wrote with his handwriting like writing a pen, without moving his voice, and his wind and clouds were light. Such martial arts attainments were no longer something he could understand.

"Just answer my questions, ask the rest more, die!"

Although the mute Wu did not speak, the momentum he gave people was extremely terrifying. He was like a god who was above his fingers, and his head fell to the ground. The man in black dared not say anything, just nodded repeatedly.

"Who is asking you to kill that child?"

"this……"

The man in black frowned slightly, but for only a second hesitation, he was cut off by the bamboo leaves flying towards him. And from the beginning to the end, he didn't see clearly how the other party moved his hands. This time, the man in black was really frightened. His legs became weak and he knelt on the ground.

"Senior, please spare me, please spare me. It is the Butler Liu of the West Courtyard of Xu Mansion. He paid ten taels of silver to buy the child's life. I am just a person who does things for others and has no grudges and no grudges with that child."

"Ten taels of silver? Humph, in this world, can a person's life be as good as that of ten cold copper coins?"

The mute Wu sighed in his heart and stared at the man in black not far away. The aura emanated from him was full of murderous intent. But after a long time, he did not take action until the man in black raised his head again, the mute Wu had disappeared from the spot.

The night was dark, and the sound of bamboo leaves was rustling in my ears. The man in black had a little trembling. After getting up, he saw a line of words at the disappearance of the mute Wu.

"Ten years ago, I vowed not to kill anyone anymore, and today I will leave you with a dog's life. If you commit it again, there will be no place to hide."

"This person's finger strength is better than the sharpness of the sword, and this word...the sword art is contained in calligraphy. Ten years ago... Could it be him? If it were that person, his current cultivation level might have broken through the realm of transformation!"

The man in black stood in the bamboo forest and muttered to himself, but he had not left for a long time. At this time, the mute Wu had returned to the Xu Mansion. He immediately went to see Lu Xin's injuries, without any signs of being injured by blunt objects, but suffered serious internal injuries. This surprised and happy that the assassin usually killed people with a dagger. He originally thought that Lu Xin would die, but now he saw that there were still some people to save him. The doctor was still taking the pulse and was thrown a large piece of brocade on the bed with handwriting on it. Lu Xin once said that the reason he wanted to learn to recognize words was that the mute Wu was definitely related to brocade, so he immediately put it away.

After Cao An was tied up, he disappeared. In addition to the doctor who was taking the pulse, only Feng Li and two servants were guarding him. Seeing that the mute Wu put away the brocade, Feng Li sneered secretly, but did not go up to stop him.

"I don't know where the ghosts and gods I picked up, and I deserve to be unlucky!"

There are many strange talismans on the brocade, and ordinary people will only think it is unlucky when they see it, and Feng Li is no exception. But Wu is different. As soon as he touches the material, he understands that brocade is definitely not an ordinary thing. He secretly kneaded with his finger force, but the brocade is not damaged at all. It can be seen that Lu Xin is not dead, which is definitely related to the brocade wrapped around his body.

After a while, the doctor got up from the head of the bed and started writing the prescription on the table. The mute Wu learned the truth from the killer that Feng Li was Liu Laizi again and had nothing to do with this matter, so he came forward and wrote down the content of the prescription.

"The injuries suffered by this son were caused by the internal strength of the people in the martial arts world. Fortunately, the killer's martial arts skills were not high, but his heart and lungs were slightly broken. Just follow this prescription and take it three times a day, for as many as one month or as few as twenty days, and you will be cured."

The doctor is an old man from the Xu family. He has the style of a doctor and should be very careful. The mute Wu was relieved of him, but when the doctor handed the prescription to Feng Li, the mute Wu frowned slightly and snatched the prescription.

"Hmph, mute Wu, what are you doing? Do you want to die?"

Feng Li was furious. He was one of the few A-class servants in the Xu family. The other party was just a low-level servant who cleaned the toilet and dared to grab things in his hands. This made him both angry and incredible. However, after receiving the prescription, the mute Wu sat directly on the head of the bed without even looking at him.

"Oh, you ignorant mute, probably because the smell of the toilet has smoked you into a stinky stone. I will let you know what the rules of the Xu family are. You two, come on me."

Feng Li smiled grimly, and was about to teach the mute Wu a lesson. But then a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the house. Immediately afterwards, the voice of Liu Laizi, the butler of the West Courtyard, also rang.

"Feng Li, the master has arrived, come out quickly to greet him."

"Master? Brother Li, can this mute still beat him?"

"Hmph, I'm even a fart. But I'm not afraid of him running away. They are all from the mansion and there are opportunities in the future."

After Feng Li finished snorting coldly, he immediately changed his expression. As he turned around, Xu Sanjin, who was slightly fat, had already arrived at the door. This made Feng Li a little panicked, and he quickly bent down and knelt on the ground.

"Master, you are finally here. The villain has let me take Lu Xin with you very much, but this child is trading Dream Soul Ointment on my back. Now he is injured by his enemies, which makes my Xu family shame. The villain is really heartbroken and wishes he could hit him and die in front of the master..."

Feng Li was obviously prepared for a long time. As soon as Xu Sanjin arrived, he started crying and shouting, making him cry. Seeing that he was like this, Xu Sanjin stood at the door for a moment and couldn't say anything. The temper he was about to lose instantly went down 70% to 80%. With Liu Laizi blowing the wind beside his ears, Xu Sanjin's frown brows slowly soothed.

"Master, since Cao An has already taken everything, there is no big relationship between this child's trial and not trial. Although he was beaten by the thief, he was not following the rules first, which can be said to be his own fault. The world is the same everywhere. If you do something wrong, God will punish you. You don't have to feel guilty because of his young age. It's late at night, Master, you'd better go back."

"Yes, Master, how dare you do this for a mere servant Ding? With Mr. Liu and I here, this matter will definitely be handled properly."

"Hmph, there was an assassin in the mansion, and someone almost died. Master, can I sleep soundly? You two don't need to say much, I'll go and see his injuries."

Although Liu Laizi and Feng Li wanted to stop them, Xu Sanjin did not give up the idea of ​​entering the house. But before he could walk a few steps, he saw the mute Wu sitting at the head of the bed. His expression suddenly changed and he stopped again.

"All of you, go out."

"Master? This room is dirty and smelly. You can't stay alone. Let me stay by my side..."

"I didn't say it clearly? Or are your ears deaf? Get out, get out of here!"

Xu Sanjin shouted angrily. His eyes were very serious, and he always stared at the mute Wu at the head of the bed. Liu Laizi had been in the mansion for many years and had never seen his master like this. He was a little confused for a while. He did not dare to disobey Xu Sanjin's orders, so he had to take Feng Li and others to retreat. Then, Xu Sanjin closed the door himself and walked to the table to pour a glass of water.

"You haven't left the West Courtyard for many years, and Xu is busy with many mundane affairs. I haven't seen him for a long time."

Xu Sanjin poured the water, not for himself to drink, but brought it to the mute Wu. If others saw this scene, they would be shocked immediately. Xu Sanjin was not only the richest man in Yuezhou, but also looked at the entire Jiangnan, and even the whole world, but few people dared to compare with the Xu family. But at this moment, Xu Yuanwai, who was as rich as the country, poured water for a servant who cleaned the toilet, which was incredible.

"You are the Lord, I am a servant, or not to see me. When the old man was alive, I said that I would like to live in the West Courtyard in this life to repay him for his life-saving grace. You are the only person in the Xu family who knows Pei's identity. If you don't see me, you will lose one less danger."

"Oh, in a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. Now that the whole world has returned to the Tang Dynasty, the world will gradually settle down. It would be a pity if you are not ordinary people like us, if you don't go out to see the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty."
