Ling'er stood in front of the window and stared at the hall of Miaozhuyuan, waiting for Xu Jun to leave again, while thinking about how to ensure everything was safe.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and Linger became more and more anxious as he waited. During this period, Xu Jun only went back to the bedroom twice, but never left Miaozhuyuan.
"What's going on? Doesn't Xu Jun just want me to steal the soft sword? Why is he standing by the side without leaving?" Ling'er was worried and hesitated whether to ask Zhong Gong to help lead the person away.
At this moment, Ji Cangyu hurriedly walked into Miaozhuyuan.
"Did something happen?" Ling'er thought to herself, but unfortunately she was far away and couldn't hear any sound.
Ling'er didn't do what he thought and hurried to Miaozhuyuan to inquire.
When Ling'er walked into the hall of Miaozhuyuan, Ji Cangyu was pacing back and forth upset.
"Uncle Ji, what happened?" Ling'er asked, unable to hide the expectation in his tone. She hoped with all her heart that the hounds would not come.
"It's already dark, and no one from Qipan Village has arrived yet!" Ji Cangyu said anxiously.
"Did you encounter any trouble on the road?" Ling'er asked again.
Ji Cangyu sighed and said, "I heard that some nearby mountain roads were washed away by the heavy rain last night. They may have to take a detour."
Ling'er was inevitably disappointed when he heard this. The detour would only delay him for a few hours, and what was supposed to come would still come.
"It's just that I arrived later. Daddy doesn't have to worry!" Xu Jun said with a smile.
"How can we find someone when it's dark? We'll have to wait another whole night." Ji Cangyu frowned. He was a little worried about the black-clothed assassin's injury and wondered if he could survive until tomorrow.
"Hounds look for people day and night!" Xu Jun said, looking at Ling'er, and sure enough, Ling'er's eyebrows were frowning.
In fact, as soon as he saw Ji Cangyu rushing over, Ling'er appeared shortly afterwards, so he knew that Ling'er had been paying attention to what was going on here. Ling'er was waiting for the opportunity to take action, and he was also waiting for the opportunity. He wanted to make Ji Cangyu anxious.
"I don't know how long the delay will be!" Ji Cangyu has been waiting all day, so how can he not be anxious?
Xu Jun thought to himself: "It seems that the heat is almost over, so it's time for me to close the net."
Ling'er secretly glanced at the soft sword placed on the table. The familiar pattern on the hilt was Qi Yang's sword!
Xu Jun smiled and said to Ji Cangyu, "Don't worry, Dad! Sit down and drink some tea to moisten your mouth! It's almost the time of the wedding, and maybe the people from Qipanzhai will arrive after dinner."
After hearing this, Ling'er suddenly realized that she could do it while everyone was having dinner!
"We can only wait for now." Ji Cangyu sighed helplessly, walked to the side and sat down.
Linger hurriedly said goodbye to Ji Cangyu. She had to wait in secret and take action as soon as Uncle Ji and the others went to Miaoxiang Courtyard.
Xu Jun watched with satisfaction as Ling'er left under his own suggestion. He quickly sat down next to Ji Cangyu and began to persuade: "If daddy is anxious to find the assassin in black, I have a way."
"Do you have any idea?" Ji Cangyu asked in surprise.
Xu Jun smiled and nodded.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ji Cangyu asked again.
"My child, I just thought of this." Xu Jun replied. This is not a good strategy for him. He originally hoped to secretly find and eliminate the ghost-faced man in black, but unfortunately the plan never went smoothly, so he came up with this strategy.
"Then tell me quickly!" Ji Cangyu urged.
"I'm afraid I have to wrong Sister Ling'er." Xu Jun said with difficulty.
"That won't work!" Ji Cangyu refused without thinking.
"Does dad want to watch the assassin in black die in a corner of the villa? When the hound comes, all he finds is his body? His injuries are not light!" Xu Jun then threw out bait.
Ji Cangyu was stunned. Of course he didn't want to find just the body of the assassin in black!
Xu Jun sneered in his heart. Ji Cangyu really cared about the life and death of the assassin in black.
Xu Jun continued: "It's fine if you don't want sister Ling'er to be wronged. Maybe they will send the hounds after we finish dinner? However, if it is really because of the heavy rain last night that we have to take a detour, the fastest We have to wait until tomorrow to arrive, right?”
Ji Cangyu was in a dilemma, with Ling'er on one side and the safety of the assassin in black on the other. He couldn't let Linger be wronged, but this was a matter of life and death.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Ji Cangyu asked.
Xu Jun pointed to the soft sword on the table and said: "The key to finding the assassin in black with the help of hounds lies in this sword. If Ling'er wants to stop us from finding someone, he will definitely hide this sword."
"What did you say? Why did Ling'er stop us from finding someone?" Ji Cangyu asked in surprise.
"Because she has a close relationship with the assassin in black." Xu Jun sneered.
"Impossible!" Ji Cangyu didn't believe it.
"Why is it impossible?" Xu Jun asked, "Have you never thought about who set the fire in Miaoyi Yuan last night?"
"That fire?" Ji Cangyu was surprised again. He hasn't had time to think about this problem yet.
"That was a fire deliberately set by Ling'er to save the assassin in black." Xu Jun said.
Ji Cangyu looked at Xu Jun in shock.
"The relationship between Ling'er and the assassin in black is unusual. Ling'er will set fire to save the assassin in black, and the assassin in black will also show up to save Ling'er." Xu Jun continued.
"You want to arrest Ling'er?" Ji Cangyu asked in disbelief.
"It's just a show." Xu Jun hurriedly explained.
"That's not good. What if the assassin in black doesn't show up?" Ji Cangyu was still hesitating. He didn't want Ling'er to suffer.
"After all, you just don't believe that the assassin in black is related to Ling'er." Xu Jun said.
"Not bad." Ji Cangyu nodded.
"Then we might as well give it a try and see if Ling'er will use this sword to save the assassin in black." Xu Jun said with a smile.
Ji Cangyu couldn't help but frown.

After making arrangements for Miaozhuyuan, Xu Jun also received what he had been waiting for.
This matter was of great importance, and he had to do it himself to feel at ease.
Xu Jun brought a palm-sized wooden box to the dry well in Miao Siyuan, and while no one was around to open the box, he carefully took out an iron cage from inside.
Inside the iron cage was a lump of soil as big as a walnut.
Xu Jun opened the iron cage and threw the clod of soil into the dry well.
The clod of soil fell to the bottom of the well with a bang and broke into several pieces.
Unexpectedly, there was a toad as big as a finger wrapped in the clod of soil.
That toad was different, its whole body was bright red.
The red toad opened its eyes drowsily, apparently just waking up from hibernation. It shook its body a few times before jumping into the darkness.
The newly awakened toad will definitely look for food and water, and Xu Jun is relieved about this. He curled his lips, put the iron cage back into the wooden box, and then left.
