Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan looked at Lin Xu with a hint of relief in his eyes.
Eunuch Lin is indeed worthy of being the person he likes. Such an attitude is very good!
"Go help me kill someone tonight."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue, and Lin Xu was stunned. Just now, Queen Zhou had given him the task of killing people, and now the emperor came to find him again, which made him more or less helpless.
"Your Majesty, I wonder who the person you want to kill is?"
Lin Xu asked bravely. If he refused now, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave the palace alive.
"That man's name is Qin Deren. He is the younger brother of the Prime Minister of Qin. He is now the leader of the Royal Forest Army. Are you sure?"
After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he looked at the surprised look on Lin Xu's face, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and continued.
"His brother provoked me today, and this guy doesn't do well on weekdays, so you don't need to be mentally burdened."
Lin Xu let out a sigh of relief. What on earth had Qin Deren done that Queen Zhou and Zhao Yan sent people to kill him at the same time?
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This servant will definitely complete this matter and will never disappoint Your Majesty."
"Hahaha, okay, if that's the case, you should go back and prepare well now, and prepare to take action at night. I place all my hopes on you."
After Zhao Yan said this, he turned around and walked out.
Lin Xu stood there stunned for a long time. It wasn't until Zhao Yan left that he slammed the table.
"Okay, seeing as I've brought you so many cuckolds, I'll help you with this matter."
Lin Xu spat hard, with a proud look in his eyes.
Anyway, Qin Gong felt sorry for himself, so killing his brother could be regarded as a piece of advice to him.
Lin Xu thought of this and returned to where he lived without saying a word, and began to practice his Nine Yang Magic.
You must make a splash tonight, otherwise, this plan will be ruined.
…
Night falls and the lanterns are turned on.
A carriage drove quietly to the courtyard in the south of the Qin family city.
"drive!"
The driver shouted loudly and sped up.
Soon the carriage stopped at the door of the courtyard.
After the guard saw the sign on the carriage, he hurriedly opened the door.
"See the second master."
"No need to be polite, where is my uncle?"
"The master is in the study!"
"Um."
After an indifferent response came from the carriage, they headed straight towards the study.
Lin Xu had already masked himself and sneaked into the other courtyard, watching Qin Deren hurried out of the carriage and headed towards the study.
He didn't know who Qin Deren's uncle was, so he was curious and followed him directly.
Naturally, Qin Deren knew nothing about this, so he walked into the study confidently and boldly.
As soon as I entered the study, I saw that the study was completely empty, leaving only a lonely oil lamp burning.
Seeing that there was no one inside, Qin Deren was stunned for a moment, then realized that he sat on the chair and patted the table hard.
After a while, a man walked out of a secret door on the wall.
The man was dressed in black and exuded a strong murderous aura. He looked extremely cold.
"Brother, what did you ask me to do? I'm busy."
Qin Deren looked at the man in black seriously, with a hint of impatience flashing between his eyebrows.
The man in black snorted coldly: "I asked you to come, of course there is something important."
"What's important?"
"How are you thinking about asking you to assassinate His Majesty?"
The man in black's tone was very relaxed, but Qin Deren frowned.
"You're crazy. I didn't agree to this last time. If we act rashly, it will only expose us faster."
The man in black sneered: "Last time it was because you didn't have a chance, but now it's not up to you. The master has already arranged a task for you. If you don't agree to it, your life will not be saved."
After saying that, the man in black thrust a note into Qin Deren's hand.
After reading it, Qin Deren became angry.
"Sir, are you asking me to die?"
"No, you have only one choice now, and that is to obey the instructions of the adults. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died."
"Aren't you afraid that I will leak the secret?"
"Haha, do you think you still have this chance?"
The man in black looked at Qin Deren with ridicule and teasing in his eyes, as if Qin Deren's life and death were in the control of the man in black.
"You are so deceptive!"
Qin Deren shouted through gritted teeth and clenched his fists, obviously very angry.
"Too much bullying? Haha, if you are wise, you'd better do what my master says, otherwise, you'll just wait to die."
The man in black sneered, and after leaving these words, he turned and disappeared from Qin Deren's sight.
"Damn, these bastards are really bullying!"
Qin Deren cursed fiercely, and then tore up the letter in his hand.
"I don't believe you can outplay me!"
After saying this, he took out the jade medal he wore around his waist, broke it into powder and sprinkled it on the ground, and then quickly left here.
…
Late at night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, killing people.
Lin Xu put on a black robe, disguised himself as an ordinary guard, and secretly climbed through the window and entered the courtyard.
He first observed the surrounding situation and confirmed that there was no one else here, then he tiptoed close to where Qin Deren lived.
Lin Xu held his breath and concentrated, slowly opened the door, and then walked slowly into the house.
With the help of the bright moonlight, Lin Xu could clearly see a person lying on the bed, who seemed to be sleeping soundly.
After glancing around, his eyes fell on the wine bottle placed on the table next to him.
Lin Xu drank by himself. When the man heard this, he immediately stood up and looked at Lin Xu in astonishment.
Because Lin Xu was wearing a mask, Qin Deren couldn't see clearly who was coming?
"Why, did you send someone to kill me so soon?"
Qin Deren thought it was the person from the adults behind him, so he was still a little confident.
Lin Xu naturally heard all the previous conversation between the two, and nodded after taking a sip of the wine in the pot.
"My lord has said that I won't need you anymore, so you can rest assured."
After saying that, he was about to kill Qin Deren, but who knew that Qin Deren had already been prepared and pulled out the short knife hidden under the pillow.
"Do you think you can kill me just by yourself? That's just nonsense."
After saying this, Qin Deren brandished his short knife and slashed at Lin Xu.
