Xue Ao came to the central courtyard. He didn't know which room Xu Ning lived in. Before, he was just exploring outside and didn't come in. This was the first time he entered Xu Mansion.
But with many years of experience as a killer, he knew that Xu Ning, as the owner, must live in the main house in the middle. After he came outside the central house, he crouched down and listened carefully to what was going on inside.
In the entire Xu Mansion, he only needs to be careful about the hidden weapon master next to Zhao Lingwu and Xu Ning.
After he came to Yongping County, he had been secretly inquiring about information. He knew that a master once tried to assassinate Xu Ning, but he was killed by the hidden weapon master beside Xu Ning.
No one knew what the hidden weapon master's cultivation level was. They only knew that the four Zang-Refining Realm masters were dead.
This made Xue Ao think that he might be a strong person in the marrow cleansing realm.
There are two masters of the Marrow Cleansing Realm in the Xu Mansion, so he still has to be careful. In fact, he had a chance to attack Xu Ning outside before.
There was no one around Xu Ning at that time. As a result, Xu Ning was riding a motorcycle, but he just didn't catch up.
This made Xue Ao a little surprised. He didn't know what Xu Ning was riding, but he couldn't even catch up with him, a master of the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
Otherwise, he would not take the risk of coming to Xu Mansion to arrest people.
At this time, he was crouching outside and heard Xu Ning's voice coming from inside. This made his eyes freeze. It was so late and Xu Ning hadn't slept yet.
He listened for a moment and felt a little strange. Xu Ning stayed up most of the night and was telling stories. Was there something wrong with his brain?
He moved and entered the house. He saw a room with firelight. It was not the main room. Xu Ning's voice came from the room with firelight.
Xue Ao quickly approached the bright room, licked his saliva with his fingers, poked a hole in the window paper, and looked inside.
I saw a fat man writing something. I didn't see anyone from Xu Ning, but Xu Ning's voice came from this room. It must be in this room. After all, the range of the fire was so large, and there was a screen in the room. , Xu Ning should be behind that screen.
This fat man, Xue Ao also knew, Liang Cong, and Xu Ning collaborated to publish a book. It seemed that these two people stayed up so late to write a book.
Xu Ning read and Liang Cong wrote.
Although not sleeping was somewhat unexpected to Xue Ao, it did not prevent him from taking action. Taking a deep breath, Xue Ao came to the door, opened it suddenly, and rushed in like a gust of wind.
Wow!
The screen was broken, and behind it was a bed. The quilt on it was bulging, as if a person was lying on it. The cold light was dazzling. The knife was unsheathed and slashed towards the bed.
Click!
The bed was cut in half, with cotton wool flying.
Liang Cong looked up in confusion and saw a man in black cutting his bed in half.
Although he was a scumbag, he was not a fool. He immediately shouted, "There is an assassin!"
Xue Ao cut off the bed at this time, but Xu Ning's voice was still there, which made him feel sad. There was no Xu Ning behind the screen.
But this room had already been seen the moment he rushed in. There was no one else except Liang Cong. If Xu Ning was not behind the screen, where would he be?
Bang!
There was a sound coming from outside. Xue Ao knew that he had been exposed and rushed out.
"Where to run!"
Zhao Lingwu's voice came. He was startled when he heard Liang Cong's voice. He quickly came out and saw a man in black rushing out of Liang Cong's room. He hurriedly chased after him.
Lights also came on in several other rooms. Xu Ning opened the door and came out, but Zhao Lingwu was nowhere to be seen.
"Junior brother, are you okay?"
Zhao Lingshuang spoke.
Xu Ning shook his head and walked towards Liang Cong's room.
"Liang Cong, what's going on?"
"I don't know either. Suddenly a man in black rushed in, slashed my bed, and then ran away."
Liang Cong thought that the man in black was sick. He didn't want him to sleep, so he cut off the bed.
Xu Ning also frowned. He walked to the bed that was broken in half and looked at the smooth fracture, feeling a chill in his heart.
This sword technique is very fast. If it were to chop someone, it would probably be severed in two.
Is the other party really here to cut the bed? Otherwise, how about a big living person like Liang Cong sitting here, not killing the other party, but just chopping the bed?
"Liang Cong, what were you doing just now?"
"Write a book."
Xu Ning looked at the tape recorder on the table. At this time, the tape recorder had been turned off by Liang Cong, but Xu Ning knew that Liang Cong wrote the book while listening to his own recording.
Is the other party here for you?
Xu Ning almost understood. The sound from the tape recorder attracted the other party, making the killer mistakenly think that he was in Liang Cong's room.
After a while, Zhao Lingwu came back and said with some shame: "Let the other party run away."
Xu Ning said: "A master in the marrow cleansing realm?"
Zhao Lingwu nodded, if it were not for the marrow cleansing realm, he would not let the other party run away.
Xu Ning's expression was a little solemn. There was actually a strong man in the Marrow Cleansing Realm who wanted to kill him, even though he had an alarm in the room and a gun beside his pillow.
But Xu Ning couldn't guarantee that he would be intact against the Marrow Cleansing Realm. He could cut such a thick bed board in half with a single blow. The opponent was very strong.
Who in Yongping County will come to kill him?
Xu Ning thought for a while but didn't expect who would come to kill him. His enemy, after much thought, he only thought of the Xue family.
Could it be that the Xue family hired a killer?
Xu Ning narrowed his eyes. Fortunately, the other party came for him. If Liang Cong was killed, how would he explain to Liang Wen?
He is not afraid that someone will come to kill him. Anyway, he can enter the bronze door with just a thought, but he is afraid that the people around him will be harmed.
…
Phew~
In a forest more than ten kilometers away from Xu Mansion, Xue Ao was panting slightly and ran for more than ten kilometers in one breath. Even he had to take a rest.
Fortunately, he got rid of Zhao Lingwu. In terms of strength, he was stronger than Zhao Lingwu. He was not afraid of fighting alone, but he was afraid that he would be entangled. Then the hidden weapon masters from the Xu family arrived, and he would be in some trouble at that time.
He punched the tree trunk. This operation failed. He didn't expect Xu Ning to be so cunning. He could only hear his voice but not see him.
Now that the opponent is on guard, it may not be so easy to assassinate him again.
Forget it, let's go back to the inn first. I'm not sure enough, so I won't do anything for now.
…
Yuelai Inn.
"Second brother, did you succeed?"
Xue Qianqian asked, and Xue Ao shook his head.
Xue Qianqian was a little surprised. She knew Xue Ao's abilities very well. He usually didn't miss when he made a move. He was also at the top of the list of killers in the capital. She didn't expect that he would miss.
Xue Ao did not say the reason for the failure, but said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to kill Xu Ning in a short time. It's New Year's Day soon, so let's go back to the capital first."
Xue Qianqian said: "Second brother, please go back first, I want to play outside again."
Xue Ao frowned, but he also knew the character of his sister, so he did not try to persuade her anymore, but said: "Since you don't want to go back, then go to Xue Yuanzheng's house. I heard that Xue Yuanzheng's youngest son is very good at brewing wine." If you have talent, go check it out, and if it’s true, take it back to the capital.”
"Know it."
Xue Qianqian answered lazily, thinking that even if Xu Ning was not killed, she might still be able to read the other party's new book.
