Chapter 289

At the same time that Su Zhenyu yelled, Lin Xiu, who was sitting beside him, moved lightly to block Su Zhenyu behind him.

Slightly squinting his eyes, Lin Xiu pulled out the Qingyun Sword from his waist with his backhand.

"Clang!"

The sword came out of its sheath, and it happened to block the sharp sword that was stabbing, making sword groans.

The assassin's sword, the tip of the sword was on top of the Qingyun sword's body, bent in an arc.

The black-clothed assassin failed in one blow, but he didn't panic. He shook his wrist and stabbed directly at Lin Xiu's face. This young man was dealt with, and that old thief Su was about to die!

At this moment, as if he had seen Lin Xiu's head blooming in the next second, the corner of the black-clothed assassin's mouth rose slightly.

Instead of retreating, Lin Xiu advanced, bullied himself and approached the black-clothed assassin, then clenched his palms into fists, and blasted towards the assassin's ribs.

Unexpectedly, the black-clothed assassin forcibly withstood Lin Xiu's punch, and kept stepping back with the strength of the punch.

Lin Xiu's eyes were fixed, and he tapped the ground with his toes, and rushed forward.

The governor's mansion was brightly lit at the moment, and a large number of maids and servants lit up lanterns to surround the banquet hall.

There were even some thugs holding iron bars, staring intently at the black-clothed assassin who had just appeared at the door.

The black-clothed assassin was a bit disdainful of this. In his opinion, no matter how many of these guys, who are already in the human realm, if they can't even meet him, they are nothing more than big fish and small fish. Just nothing, not worth mentioning.

However, the black-clothed assassin didn't notice that a rough-looking burly man standing at a relatively rear position in the group of guards turned his face to the side at this moment, carefully took out a sleeve crossbow from his arms, and then When he was facing Lin Xiu, he lightly pulled the trigger.

"call out!"

Suddenly there was a rapid sound of piercing the air, and the black-clothed assassin turned around almost instinctively, but the body of the arrow still brushed past his chest, taking away a piece of flesh and blood along the way.

His chest hurt, and the black-clothed assassin's movements slowed down unconsciously. If it were Lin Xiu who had just embarked on the path of cultivation, he might not be able to seize this opportunity, but there is no if. During this bloody fight, Lin Xiu was indoctrinated with a lot of theories about taking advantage of his illness to kill him. If he didn't take action now, when would he wait?

Lin Xiu leaned forward, lightly twisted a sword flower with his right hand, and the hilt bumped towards the black-clothed assassin.

There was a soft bang, and the black-clothed assassin was shocked by the huge force and retreated again and again.

Regardless of wiping off the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, he knew that the black-clothed assassin who had kicked the iron plate this time wanted to rush outside the Su Mansion while retreating violently.

Throwing out a hidden weapon casually, and knocking down a few strong guards who were in the way in front of him, the black-clothed assassin sprinted quickly, dodged a few times, and rushed out.

Although his speed is very fast, can he surpass Lin Xiu who is a plum blossom?

As soon as the black-clothed assassin rushed out, Lin Xiu followed behind him like a shadow.

Not long after, the two came to a barren field outside the city.

The night was already very dark, and even the starlight in the sky became more and more sparse, adding to the chill.

There were a few crickets chirping from the distant field ridge, and the two stood facing each other.

"I didn't expect that I was a hero, but when I died, I fell into the hands of a young man." To Lin Xiu's surprise, the black-clothed assassin lifted his mask, revealing an old face.

"Young man, I admit that I am not your opponent, can I say a few more words before I do it?" The old man looked at the young man in green in front of him, with a bit of bitterness in the corner of his mouth.

I have worked diligently for decades on the way of martial arts, and my talent is also superior, so I stepped into the Tianyuan realm by chance. But how talented is this young man in Tsing Yi, and he has reached such a state. What makes the old man even more impressive is that Lin Xiu's Yuanli is obviously superior to him. (The realm is generally judged by the level of Yuanli cultivation, because Lin Xiu's Yuanli is too powerful, so he was mistaken for the Tianyuan realm)

Seeing the old man's face, Lin Xiu couldn't bear it, and decided to ask the other party first, what kind of grievances he had with Su Zhenyun.

"Old gentleman, I don't know what kind of grievances you have with the city lord, but you actually want to take the risk and assassinate him?" Lin Xiu took back Qingyun sword, looking very confident, and asked directly.

"Hey, what is Su Zhenyun? If it wasn't for the young lady's strong suggestion back then, how could he become the master of Mucheng because he didn't have any martial arts cultivation?" The old man spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, a little bit bitter. Said.

Lin Xiu is now more and more confused about the identity of the old man. From the old man's words, it can be heard that the young lady in the other party's mouth should be his mother.

However, isn't it said that my mother has a very deep relationship with the city lord's family? How could it be so unbearable in the mouth of the old man?

"Mister, tell me first." For safety's sake, Lin Xiu didn't intend to reveal his identity, but instead asked.

"Let me tell you the truth. Originally, I was a guard of Miss Mu's family, but after she was captured and returned to the family, she also gave me freedom and wanted me to find the whereabouts of the young master. But all these years, Mu Some people in my family are really strict with me, and there is still no way to go to Guiyuanyu." The old man's face was full of remorse and self-blame.

"Since the members of the Mu family restricted my freedom, I wondered if I could do some activities in Mu City to rescue the young lady as soon as possible, but when I found Su Zhenyu, he said he was powerless to me. It doesn't make people feel bitter, if there is no Miss, what kind of thing is Su Zhenyu?"

Lin Xiu listened quietly to the old man's words, and now he also somewhat understood that this old man should be one of his mother's subordinates back then, and he could not have imagined that after twenty years, he was still so loyal.

"I'm from Guiyuanyu, and I'm from Huaining City." Lin Xiu looked at the old man, and then said suddenly.

Hearing Lin Xiu's words, the old man obviously couldn't believe it. He stared at Lin Xiu for a few seconds, and then he vaguely saw some shadow of his young lady from the brows of the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The reason why he was convinced that Lin Xiu was the heir of his young lady was because even the people who were sent out didn't know the real information about Lin Zhong.

Because he was always by Miss's side all the time, he only learned something about Lin Zhong, and he also knew the location of his uncle's hometown, so after Lin Xiu said these words, he was convinced in his heart immediately.

"Rescuing my mother still needs a long-term plan. Since I have come to Dongxuan Region, the day when our family will be reunited will soon come." Lin Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and helped the old man up from the ground.

"Don't worry about the city lord's place for now. It is said that my mother still has some things in their place. We will make plans after I get them." Lin Xiu's voice was flat.

"Everything is under the orders of the young master." The old man said excitedly, and then bowed respectfully to Lin Xiu. In his opinion, his young lady's son is his young master.

After fighting with Lin Xiu, the old man was very relieved to know that the young lady's son is so powerful now.

After chatting with the old man for some time, after learning the real name and address of the old man, Lin Xiu signaled him to leave first, and he had to go back to Mu's house to see what Su Zhenyu's family was planning.
