The wife is the king of the palace

Chapter 44 Shut up, stop talking

Jin Qi held his breath, the blood in his body was boiling in the darkness.

Lin Xu, who was lying on his body, moved slightly and changed his posture. He put his legs between Jin Qi's legs to support his body, and his body tensed up.

Lin Xu's figure is already good, and there is hardly a trace of fat on his body. After the muscles on his body are tense, his whole body is like fast-hardening iron, which makes Jin Qi, who is around his waist, swallow involuntarily.

Jin Qi took a deep breath, sniffed the breath belonging to Lin Xu in the quilt, and boldly hugged the person in his arms tightly.

"Be honest." Lin Xu still lowered his voice.

Jin Qi, who was already a little annoyed, widened his eyes when he heard the words, what exactly does Lin Xu want from him?He has already acted so clearly.

Jin Qi was gnashing his teeth, but Lin Xu, who was pressing on him, suddenly turned to the side, threw off the quilt and rushed out the door like a sharp arrow off the string.

Lin Xu's movements were very fast, almost disappearing into the courtyard in the blink of an eye by Jin Qi, which made Jin Qi, who was still holding Lin Xu with his hands up, froze in place, and didn't recover for a long time Come.

Jin Qi's mind went blank. He looked at his empty arms and then at the dark night outside the door. After doing this twice, he finally came back to his senses. Lin Xu actually ran away at this time!

Jin Qi turned over and was about to chase after him, when several figures flashed in the darkness.

Some of the hidden guards who followed him chased after him, and some appeared in the courtyard to prevent the opponent from distracting him.

"What happened?" Jin Qi came out.

"There are people." The leader of the dark guard said.

If it wasn't for Lin Xu rushing out suddenly, they wouldn't have even noticed that there were still people peeping in the dark.Upon discovering this, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of several hidden guards who followed Jin Qi.

They are the dark guards kept by Jin Qi's side, and they are the people who are best at hiding their figures, but they haven't found each other's existence at all. If it wasn't because of Lin Xu, they wouldn't even have found out now.

"Do you see who it is?" Jin Qi quickly restrained the thoughts in his heart just now, frowned and looked worriedly at the direction where Lin Xu disappeared.

"I only saw a figure. Please rest assured, the emperor, the others have already caught up." The leader of the dark guard replied.

While speaking, he raised his head and met Jin Qi's eyes, seeing Jin Qi's eyes that became colder and colder under the moonlight, he couldn't help trembling slightly, his whole body shivered.As dark guards, they failed their duties.

After waiting for a while, Lin Xu didn't come back, and Jin Qi clenched his hands into fists, feeling more and more worried.After hesitating for a moment, Jin Qi was still worried, and quickly turned around and went out to catch up.

The county is not big, and Lin Xu and the others live in the center of the county. After leaving the courtyard, there is a street outside, and then there is a row of residential areas, and then there is a piece of farmland.

At the end of the farmland is a mountain range rising from the ground. Near the foot of the mountain is a forest. The moonlight is blocked by the mountain and cannot reach this side. In the dark, it looks like a beast with a big bloody mouth, which makes people feel a little creepy.

When Jin Qi chased him out of the forest, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the forest.

Jin Qi stopped immediately, and the hidden guards who followed immediately drew out their weapons, "Who?"

Someone came out from the woods, and when he appeared where the moonlight could shine, Jin Qi recognized him at a glance, "Are you okay?"

The person who came out of the forest was Lin Xu, but he was not the only one who came out, and he brought out another person together.

The man was dressed in black, and he was completely unresponsive at the moment, presumably he must have passed out.

"The other two are dead." Lin Xu handed the person in his hand to the hidden guard beside him.

He didn't notice these people at first, but he became suspicious because he heard the bird call signal that didn't belong here. After taking advantage of the other party's sudden attack and chasing them out, he quickly saw the other party's accomplice in the woods.

The other party obviously didn't expect to be discovered by him, but he obviously made the worst plan, seeing him catch up

The people who came turned around and fled immediately, and then saw that Lin Xu couldn't escape, so they immediately took poison and committed suicide.

Lin Xu only had time to knock out the one closest to him, and the other two were already foaming at the mouth when he tried to do something.Even so, the mouth of the person who was saved by him was already injured by the medicine, and he probably couldn't speak anymore.

But even if you can't speak, as long as you are alive, you can always ask something.That's what Lin Xu meant when he handed over the man to the dark guard.

"When did these guys follow us?" Jin Qi looked at Lin Xu.

Lin Xu shook his head, not sure, and he didn't find out until just now.

Seeing this, Jin Qi frowned even more deeply. Lin Xu's skill was already at its peak. Jin Qi didn't know exactly how good it was, but he knew best that the group of hidden guards he raised were not bad.

Now aside from the hidden guards, even Lin Xu, who is unfathomable, has not found him. Either the other party is really stronger than Lin Xu, or the other party only came tonight.

The former is obviously unlikely, otherwise it would be impossible for Lin Xu to choose to commit suicide. According to the current situation, the latter possibility is more likely.

Jin Qi's complexion was uncertain, and he felt his entire chest ache from anger.

When he left the capital, he had thought that someone might take the opportunity to assassinate him, but the journey was safe and sound. He had already relaxed his vigilance and put this matter behind him, but he didn't expect that the other party would choose to attack at this time.

He also had to sigh that the other party was really smart.

He and Lin Xu were originally planning to go fishing, and wanted to take the opportunity to find out who the other party was, but they didn't expect the other party to choose such a time to do it.

After Lin Xu handed over the man to the dark guard, he led Jin Qi back. There was no one on the road at night, and the two of them were walking on the ridge of the field again, surrounded by insects and birds.

The cool breeze blew through in the summer night, which was very comfortable, but the two of them didn't care about it now.

"Are you sure who it is?" Jin Qi asked in a low voice.

Lin Xu shook his head, making sure that the hidden guard couldn't hear their conversation before speaking, "It's hard to judge, the other party is dressed in black, and he didn't bring anything on him, and he didn't even reveal his martial arts skills."

"You suspect it's a secret guard?" Jin Qi sensed Lin Xu's avoidance.

"Not necessarily, the other party's hiding is really deep." Lin Xu said.

If it's the people on the side of the dark guard, they have many opportunities to make a move along the way, there's no need to wait until they get home.

If it is the chief eunuch who stayed in the palace, the other party is not sure about their return route, and it is indeed very likely to come to the county in advance to wait for the rabbit, but the other party's skills are not like a eunuch can mobilize, this kind of hidden figure The method is closer to the dark guard.

The other party deliberately chose to do it on the first night of their return, and they don't know if it was a coincidence or they had already noticed their thoughts.

And there is one more thing that also concerned Lin Xu very much.

Lin Xu originally thought that the other party was just the eyeliner of He Zheng and the others. After He Zheng and others had an accident, he would choose to restrain himself if he was smart, or assassinate Jin Qi if he was extreme, but no matter what, the movement would not be too big, but Now it seems that the person behind this may be far more than just an eyeliner.

"I just noticed that when you rushed out, the hidden guards were basically in the yard, at least those people were not from the hidden guards." Jin Qi is not stupid either, after knowing what happened, he immediately paid attention The dark guard beside him.

The dark guards were trained by Jin Qi, and he couldn't be more clear about the people inside. Given the nature of the dark guards, if there are spies among them, they should be easily discovered.

Back on the street again, I saw that there were more houses around, and the hidden guards got closer, and neither of them were discussing the topic just now.

For a while, the atmosphere became quiet.

"You just—" Lin Xu said suddenly when he entered the door.

Before he finished speaking, Jin Qi interrupted, "Nothing happened just now."

"I haven't said anything yet." Lin Xu quietly looked at the person in front of him who had been trying to divert his attention from the very beginning.

Jin Qi choked, half

It was only after a while that I uttered, "I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go to bed first."

After finishing speaking, Jin Qi strode towards the house, and quickly lay back on the bed.

Lin Xu was like that just now, for a moment he thought it was him who had thought of that, and after a moment of stunned, he even cheekily responded to the seduction, but the man ran away suddenly!

Jin Qi fled in embarrassment, Lin Xu raised his lips, and he walked slowly into the door to follow.Walking towards the bed again, Lin Xu lost sleepiness even more.

Jin Qi was lying back on the bed, he was motionless with his eyes closed, he almost snorted to prove that he had fallen asleep.

Lin Xu turned off the light and went to bed to lie down. He propped his head on one hand and looked at the person beside him who was pretending to be asleep under the faint moonlight.

The light in the room was not bright, even though Lin Xu's eyes had adapted to the darkness, he could only vaguely see the outline of Jin Qi's facial features.But this is enough, enough for Lin Xu to judge that this person is very nervous at the moment by relying on these deliberately prolonged breaths with Jin Qi.

After lying down, Lin Xu didn't say anything or do anything, but he couldn't bear to watch Jin Qi who was pretending to be asleep.

Sensing Lin Xu's gaze, Jin Qi who closed his eyes and pretended to sleep felt uncomfortable all over his body. He wanted to turn over, but was afraid of being found pretending to be asleep.

Thinking of Jin Qi like this felt wrong, Lin Xu must know that he was pretending to sleep.The more this is the case, the more Jin Qi doesn't want to wake up, because he always has a feeling that everything is in Lin Xu's expectation, which makes him even more unhappy.

"What happened just now—" Lin Xu's voice suddenly broke the silence.

"Don't say it!" Jin Qi opened his eyes like an electric shock, grinning his teeth viciously, "I'll let this matter rot in my stomach, otherwise I won't be able to forgive you."

"Is the emperor not planning to pursue the assassination?" Lin Xu deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, and Jin Qi interrupted him anxiously without saying anything.

When Jin Qi heard the words, he opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but fortunately, he swallowed the words back.Lin Xu has suffered a lot from this kind of loss, and Jin Qi has also learned to be smart.

Lin Xu saw that Jin Qi didn't open his mouth, and saw that he had learned how to be smart and knew how wrong to say, a little smile appeared in his eyes, but he wasn't going to let him go just like that.

Lin Xu deliberately leaned forward a few minutes, and almost half of his body was on Jin Qi's body. After realizing that Jin Qi's body had become stiff with satisfaction, he said again, "Or is it something else that the emperor wants to discuss? "

Jin Qi took a heavy breath, he gritted his teeth and said nothing, because he really wanted to pretend that he was asleep.

"If the emperor wants to discuss the matter just now, I can also accompany you." Lin Xu whispered.

Jin Qi was breathing more and more heavily, but he was really patient and remained motionless, pretending to be asleep to the end.

"Who did the emperor learn those tricks to please people?" Lin Xu almost whispered in Jin Qi's ear.

Jin Qi beat him to death and ignored him, but his face couldn't help getting hot.

"The emperor has learned other things, isn't that the only one?"

"Shut up!" Jin Qi finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Don't forget your identity as the prime minister."

In the dark, he glared fiercely at the people beside him. Lin Xu was very serious when he was in court, acting like a modest gentleman, but he dared to say anything shameless behind his back.

"I haven't forgotten the identity of the prime minister, but what does the identity of the prime minister have to do with the present? Or is it that the emperor likes this kind of drama in bed?" Lin Xu's voice was hoarse.

"You, you...shut up, don't say anything." Jin Qi's voice became weak even if he could not win, he only felt annoyed, but his body was damn numb.
