Li Yi frowned and looked out the window, only to see that it had already fallen into the night.

I hadn't noticed it just now, but when I saw it was getting dark, I remembered that I had been writing couplets outside at noon, and I just ate some pastries to satisfy my hunger, but now I was hungry.

Once the hunger came up, it was naturally difficult to suppress it. Li Yi felt that his saliva was sour and his stomach was growling. He hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted: "Qing'er, go to the kitchen and get me two ounces of wine."

, a side dish!”

"Master, isn't Madam not allowing you to drink..." Qing'er stared at Li Yi in surprise.

It wasn't that Li Yi didn't drink well before, but he was so good at drinking that after getting drunk several times, some nosy maids complained to Mrs. Li. Li Yi's days of drunkenness and dreaming were naturally strictly restricted.

Get up...

Li Yi's face turned red, and he pretended to be annoyed and said: "We have a guest today! I'll drink less with the guest!"

"Oh!" Qing'er knew in her heart that the young master must be addicted to alcohol and looked for opportunities to drink, but she still followed his temper and went out to the kitchen.

After a while, the two of them walked into the courtyard. Several plates of side dishes, a pot of fine wine and two wine glasses were already placed on the stone table.

A crescent moon hung high in the dark blue sky, its clear water-like light shining on the earth.

The moonlight spreads on the branches of the willow tree, casting reflections like women's slender waists. As the breeze blows, these reflections sway slightly like women twisting their waists.

This scene, coupled with fine wine and golden bottles, and a beautiful woman by the side, is really a great enjoyment for someone.

"Mr. Li, I'd like to toast you. Thank you for helping me deal with the Wang family!" Wu Xiaoming seemed a little excited, and the hand holding the wine glass was no longer as steady as holding a flying knife.

Li Yi was unmoved. He didn't even pick up the wine bottle on the table. He frowned and said, "I haven't promised you yet!"

After saying this, he raised his brows, narrowed his eyes and stared at Wu Xiaoming who was restless across from him, and said, "I don't care whether you really want to cause trouble for this king, or whether you were sent here by someone to get close to me."

"Please, tell me first what you can do for me!" Li Yi said word by word.

He couldn't help but be paranoid, but the timing of this person's appearance was too outrageous - he had just been assassinated, and he came over claiming to protect him. And when he was being pointed at by thousands of literati in the capital, he actually jumped out and changed the target.

.

If this was just due to his good luck, even Li Yi himself wouldn't believe it.

"I am a killer, I can help you kill people." Wu Xiaoming said softly.

Li Yi was unmoved and continued: "Killing people? Why should I kill people? Besides, there will be four great masters coming to be my personal bodyguards tomorrow. Why do I need your protection?"

Wu Xiaoming shook his head slightly, then slowly raised his right hand to the sky, and swore: "I, Wu Xiaoming, will give this life to Li Yi today, whether I live or die!"

After swearing this oath, he turned to look at Li Yi who was stunned on the spot. He cupped his hands and said, "I am proficient in assassination. I may not be as brave as the Tiger Guard in frontal combat, but if the time is right, I can kill Jin through a sneak attack."

Danqi monk."

"You will need a person in the dark to help you do something." Wu Xiaoming continued: "Because, it is obvious that someone wants to use the assassination of you in the valley to involve you in a conspiracy, and now, regardless of

Whether you like it or not, you are already in the game."

What a good boy, you actually made a rough guess based on the news that I was assassinated.

Li Yi looked solemn and stared at the scholar in front of him with some surprise - yes, Wu Xiaoming was telling the truth. Whether he wanted to or not, he had already entered into this situation.

The reason why he keeps pretending not to understand is because he just wants to live a leisurely life and does not want to get involved too deeply - which will hurt his body and mind. Moreover, with his current strength, he is just a pawn at the mercy of others -

-This feeling is really bad.

"Now that you have entered the game, you need me!" Wu Xiaoming said sincerely.

Li Yi frowned, then slowly reached out and picked up the wine bottle on the table without saying a word.

The two wine glasses separated at the first touch, but they actually touched each other.

This small gathering with little conversation did not last too long. After about half an hour, Li Yi had already had enough wine and food, and returned to his room and fell asleep.

And Wu Xiaoming didn't even need Li Yi to arrange a room for him - in his words, for a killer, he is sleeping soundly at all times, but he is alert at all times.

These contradictory words made Li Yixin take it for granted. After all, when this kid was not leaking, he seemed careless and scattered, and his whole person was listless. However, when he picked up a dagger or a flying knife, he could concentrate his whole body in an instant.

of spirit.

Assassins are so close that they are invisible; they are within an inch of their lives and they take action!

Only assassins who don't show any murderous intent at ordinary times are truly terrifying.

Obviously, Wu Xiaoming, who usually wears a turban and a scholar's long shirt, is such a terrifying killer who hides his secrets.

At night, although the occasional barking of dogs and the crying of children can be heard in the distance, the entire Kyoto has fallen asleep.

On Dongmen Street, watchmen carrying lanterns would walk striding from time to time. From time to time, they would knock the gong hanging under the lantern and shout a few watchmen loudly.

The sound of "Hu--" was the sound of clothes brushing against the wall.

If you look carefully, you will see a dark figure walking through the alley in the dark night. His movements are not very agile, but his speed is strangely fast.

"Whoosh -" The black shadow jumped on the spot and jumped onto the roof of a residential building next to the Zhenjun General's Mansion. Then he paused, took a step back nervously, and stared ahead.

With the help of the moonlight, you can see that this man looks ugly, has a pair of triangular eyes, and is short and stocky. He wears a black night clothes, but he does not close the front of the clothes, but opens it, revealing a

Thick black chest hair.

If the tea stall owner had seen this person during the day, he would have recognized him at a glance. He was clearly the ignorant and reckless man who wanted to marry the personal maid of the fifth young master of the Li family.

During the day, he was a rough guy delivering goods on horseback, but at night, he wore black night clothes and appeared on the roof of a residential house in front of the Zhenjun General's Mansion.

This is a very strange phenomenon. The person who discovered this phenomenon was not the fifth young master of the Li family who was sleeping soundly with Qing'er's little feet in his arms, but a scholar, a thin and ordinary-looking scholar wearing a turban on his head.

"Is that you?" The black-clothed man's triangular eyes narrowed into two thin lines, staring at the scholar opposite him.

He recognized that this was the tea guest who drank tea at the same tea stall during the day. During the day, he only thought that this scholar was weak, but now - he was standing on the wall of the General's Mansion, as steady as a rock, staring at him with an indifferent expression.

Hold yourself.
