Chapter 40 Strange disease

Zheng San was strangled by Lin Xing's neck, unable to exert any strength. The carriage gradually stopped and wandered on the edge of the cliff.

Countless arrows fell like rain from behind, all hitting the carriage.

Chun Mian was hiding in the carriage and didn't know what was going on. When she heard the noise outside, she wanted to lift the curtain and go out, but was frightened by Lin Xing's scolding.

"Hide in the carriage and don't come out!"

After saying that, Lin Xing glanced at the rain of arrows coming from all around, and immediately called out the system in her mind, with a cold voice, "Don't tell me, I'm going to die from this today."

After checking the surrounding environment, the system fell into an eerie silence.

I don't know if it was Lin Xing's misunderstanding, but she could even feel the system being speechless and shocked.

"...What on earth did you do?" After holding it in for a long time, Xiao Yi finally managed to say such a sentence. However, it did not kill Lin Xing. Instead, an option quickly popped up on the panel in front of her.

"It has been detected that the host is in a dangerous environment. There is a golden bell now worth 500 points. Do you want to buy it?"

"Five hundred points? You want to buy my life!"

Lin Xing almost yelled in her mind, but she still chose to buy it the next moment - she was indeed buying her life.

The moment he pressed the button, an invisible protective shield seemed to rise around the carriage. The arrows fell on it, making a tinkling sound, but they could not get even half a step closer to the carriage.

The killers who were ambushing around looked at each other, wondering what the strange scene in front of them was about.

But they have not forgotten the mission assigned by their master. Since long-distance attack is not possible, they can only solve it personally!

Just when the killer jumped down from the tree and was about to kill Lin Xing from behind, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance. Lin Xing also heard the sound and strangled Zheng San's neck to get out of the carriage, just in time to see the black figure of the killer disappearing.

"Your Majesty, there is an assassin!"

Zhang Ping also saw it, winked at Zhou Yan, and immediately led a group of guards to catch up.

Zhou Yan quickly came to Lin Xing, looked her up and down, made sure she was fine, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he also noticed the arrows scattered around the carriage. The strange thing was that these arrows were all three inches away from the carriage, and none of them could get even half an inch closer to the carriage.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Xing, who nodded at him imperceptibly, and Zhou Yan knew that God was helping her again.

This god is really weird. He is giving Lin Xing an impossible task and at the same time he is bothering to save her.

Zhou Yan wanted to laugh in his heart, but his eyes still fell on Zheng San, who was looking blue and purple and was almost out of breath.

"Take him to the Zifu dungeon and torture him severely." He waved his hand, and someone immediately came forward. Zheng San was so frightened that he screamed, pretending that he had confessed everything.

"Yes, there was a man who instigated me! I owed a gambling debt, and I really couldn't pay it back. The man told me that as long as I brought Xingya...Mrs. Zhao here, he would give it to me after the incident was completed.

Five hundred taels of silver!"

Lin Xing lowered her eyes and glanced at Zheng San. In her memory, he had watched the original owner grow up, but now he sold the original owner's life for gambling debts. No wonder he and Lin Zhengtang became good friends. They were basically the same person.

Thinking of the original owner, Lin Xing's eyes became fierce.

She looked at Zhou Yan with a begging look, and when Zhou Yan nodded, she said: "Give him to the gambling house. After the gambling house has finished dealing with him, you can bring him back."

"Girl Xing, I watched you grow up since I was a child, you can't do this to me!" Zheng San was so frightened that he wet his pants, knelt in front of Lin Xing and begged, "I...I will help you catch that man.

, just spare me!"

Lin Xing was overwhelmed with anger just now, and now she remembered the man who ordered him.

The first figure that pops into my mind is Zhao Zhong.

But when she described Zhao Zhong's appearance to Zheng San, Zheng San denied it flatly, "No! That man looks elegant and has an air of nobility about him. He could be an official at first glance."

After Zheng San finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xing expectantly. Lin Xing then waved his hand and asked someone to take him to the dungeon and lock him up.

At least being locked up was better than dying. Zheng San didn't dare to make so many demands, so he was taken back to the Prince's Mansion by the guards without any resistance.

The few remaining guards surrounded the cliff. Zhou Yan and Lin Xing were on the edge of the cliff. No one was approaching, and the two of them spoke louder.

Zhou Yan looked at the belt Lin Xing held in his hand, with a slight smile on his face. He turned sideways, looked away, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and praised: "My wife is really a heroine. If you hadn't reacted quickly, she would have stopped her."

Coachman, I'm afraid I won't be able to see my wife today."

Hearing his words, Lin Xing remembered that she was still holding the belt in her hand. She slowly tied the belt back around her waist and said, "That's why the prince came in time."

"After you left, the people in Nanluogu Lane went to Zifu to report the news." Zhou Yan's ears were extremely sensitive. When he heard the end of the noise, he turned around and said, "Since there is no one around you, don't let this happen again next time.

, you can let my people go to the Lin family to explore, don’t worry, they will never leak the matter."

Only then did Lin Xing remember that there was another person on the carriage.

"Who said I have no one to use?" Lin Xing stepped forward, dumbfounded, raised the curtain of the carriage, and pulled out Chun Mian, who was shivering inside. "Isn't there a maid here who can be used?"

Zhou Yan glanced at Chun Mian with disgust, and then waved his hand. Immediately, a slender woman in smart clothes walked up to Lin Xing and knelt down, "Slave Chunxiao, please see Master."

"This person will be given to you in the future." Zhou Yan took out a deed of betrayal from his arms and handed it to her. "I will leave the deed with you. She will have nothing to do with me in the future. There is no need to worry that she will betray you."

This can be regarded as giving her a sense of security.

Lin Xingling originally wanted to refuse, but Chun Mian said: "Madam, please accept it. A servant cannot protect Madam, someone must protect you."

Hearing Chun Mian's disappointment, Lin Xing patted her head and said, "Today's situation is such that even if the Great Luo Immortal comes, you won't be able to escape. Don't take it to heart."

After saying that, she accepted Chunxiao's deed of betrayal and saluted Zhou Yan: "In that case, I will be disrespectful."

After accepting Chunxiao, Lin Xing added: "Although Zheng San denies that Uncle Zhong instigated him, I still feel that Uncle Zhong is inseparable from this matter."

Yesterday, Uncle Zhong insisted that she go to the Qingyun Association. After she refused, Zheng San came to find him today. So, did Uncle Zhong know that there would be an assassination attempt on him on the road today?

Lin Xing did not hide anything and told Zhou Yan everything. Zhou Yan immediately sent people to investigate and sent Lin Xing back to Nanluogu Lane.

When they arrived at Nanluogu Lane, Uncle Zhong and Zhao Jie had not returned yet, but the people sent by Zhou Yan had already rushed back.

They checked the people Uncle Zhong had met in the past few days and found nothing unusual, but there was one thing that made them feel strange.
