The scum of crossing the villain

'Tuk Tuk'.

The crisp knock on the door broke the silence of the night, Ling Chu, who was leaning on the mahogany chair, curled his lips, brushed the hair on his cheeks, and blocked the side of his neck just right.He straightened his body slightly, and said lazily, "Come in."

The wooden door was pushed open with a 'squeak', and was quickly closed by someone who came.The visitor stepped in quickly, landed silently, and stopped only a foot away from Lingchu, then half-kneeled down, and said respectfully: "City Master, Mr. Zuo has returned to Xiyuan, Mr. Dongfang is in his room."

Ling Chu frowned slightly, and said casually, "Mr. Dongfang?"

"Yes, City Lord."

Ling Chu raised one leg and lightly stepped on the mahogany chair with his heel. He casually flicked the tassels scattered on his leg and asked, "Did you hear the conversation between the two of them?"

The faces of the people on the ground were slightly pale, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground: "Mr. Dongfang has deployed an array outside, but his subordinates failed to approach, please punish the city lord!"

"Zuo Zhe can go in, but you can't, heh..."

With a soft 'pop', the body of the person on the ground trembled violently, and soon a circle of water stains appeared on the ground, stirring up a little bit of dust.If you look closely, you can see the sweat dripping from the man's forehead, which shows the fear in his heart.

At this time, the room was silent, only Ling Chu unconsciously played with the broken tassel on his fingertip.After a while, Ling Chu blew off the red powder from his hands and said calmly: "Mr. Dongfang has always been very knowledgeable in Jiugong gossip, and you are not responsible for this..."

Hearing this, the tense bodies of the people on the ground relaxed a little.

"but……"

There was a muffled sound of 'bang', and the man soared high into the air, and then fell heavily on the floor.

Ling Chu didn't even look at the person who was struggling to maintain his kneeling position on the ground, straightened his unwrinkled sleeves and said softly, "I've been following Mr. Dongfang for so long but have achieved nothing. What do you need? Get out!"

The man didn't care about the severe pain on his body, he got up and knelt on the ground in a panic and said: "Thank you, the city lord, for not killing me, this subordinate will leave."

The man kowtowed heavily, and moved a few steps back in a kneeling position until he was out of Ling Chu's sight, then stood up and staggered out the door.

Ling Chu snorted coldly, and raised his hand to caress the side of his neck. If anyone was in the room at this time, he would be able to see a faint knife mark on the side of Ling Chu's neck, but a part of the knife mark was missing in the middle. , as if water droplets splashed on it and then erased the original traces, the shape is also a bit weird.

Ling Chu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his eyes glistened with calculations, but he didn't know what he was calculating.

Zuo Zhe didn't sleep well that night, there were too many things that disturbed him, for example, how is Zisha's injury; for example, did Luo Tian make things difficult for Jia Lan; for example, Yin Luo... is he still okay?There was also the fact that Lingchu discovered his secret.Based on his understanding of Lingchu, although he knew that his life was safe at the moment, he didn't have much thought to deal with Lingchu. At this moment, he was eager to know the situation of those people.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night, no matter for Zuo Zhe, or Jia Lan and the others, maybe the only one who can sleep peacefully is Ling Chu who is still calculating.

----

"City Lord, breakfast is ready." The guard in hard attire said loudly, even though the door in front of him was closed, the expression on his face was always respectful.

With a soft 'pa' sound, Ling Chu threw away the file in his hand and stroked the long hair on his cheeks, stood up and Shi Shiran walked towards the mahogany door. As soon as he got closer, the door was opened from the outside , followed by the "City Lord" in unison.

Ling Chu responded lightly, then turned and walked towards the dining room at the side. It could be seen that Ling Chu was in a very good mood today, but in the past, he would not even answer.

After a meal, Lingchu felt comfortable, but the people who served him were a little apprehensive, for fear that he made a mistake that would affect Lingchu, who was in a good mood, and cause unwarranted disasters.

"Master Zuo, have you ever used food?"

There was a muffled sound of 'dong', but the person being questioned knelt at Lingchu's feet. The person was trembling and said with a pale face, "I... report to the city lord, left... Mr. Zuo, he... he... "

Ling Chu wiped his lips for a moment, then squinted at the person on the ground: "How is Mr. Zuo?"

The people on the ground trembled again, and tremblingly said: "Left...Young Master Zuo...hasn't eaten yet, he...he is...with...with Mr. Dongfang...setting up...the array in the backyard."

Ling Chu sneered and said disapprovingly: "It's just the formation, why are you panicking? Are you still afraid that I will kill you?"

Hearing that the blood on the man's face faded away, there was an unconcealable fear in his eyes.At this moment, even Lingchu couldn't see the fear in the eyes of the people on the ground, and also noticed that something was wrong. Thinking of Dongfang Yu asking him for Zuo Zhe's words that day, Lingchu stood up abruptly, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before. "Mr. Dongfang is in the formation?"

"I report to the City Lord, yes...it is Sha..."

"Bastard!" Lingchu picked up the man on the ground with one hand, with an angry expression on his face: "Didn't I tell you to always report Mr. Zuo's movements! Who gave you the courage to let Mr. Zuo follow Mr. Dongfang in formation?" !"

"Sub... this subordinate tried to stop it, but... but this subordinate didn't dare to disobey Mr. Dongfang's order. Mr. Dongfang also said...also said..."

"say what!"

"Mr. Dongfang said that the evil formation has not been thoroughly researched, and he told his subordinates not to inform the city lord of this matter, otherwise... otherwise, his subordinates will be forced to do that evil formation."

With a loud 'bang', Ling Chu threw the person in his hand into the distance and said angrily: "Mr. Dongfang's order is an order, isn't my order an order?! You trash! He is the lord of this city! Mr. Dongfang wants you to be the gate of death, and this seat can immediately turn you into a dead person!"

After saying that, I saw the people on the ground suddenly bounced up and then fell down again, and there was no more sound.But at this time, the people in the hall had already prostrated themselves on the ground and did not dare to breathe out, for fear that they would become the next person to die under Ling Chu's hands.

However, Ling Chu stopped looking at the people in the hall, shook his body, and disappeared into the dining hall.

Ling Chu walked fast all the way. Although he didn't know what the evil formation Dongfang Yu was talking about, he could tell from the name that it must not be a good formation. He finally discovered Zuo Zhe, a rare thing. Before he knew the secret of Zuo Zhe, he was determined not to tolerate any mistakes made by Zuo Zhe.

Walking to Xiyuan, before stepping into the backyard, Lingchu was stopped by Shumo who was guarding the entrance of the courtyard.Lingchu suppressed the anger in his heart and pretended to be calm to Shumo who wanted to salute: "Excuse me, the sweet-scented osmanthus has bloomed outside the city, I came to invite Mr. Dongfang to enjoy the flowers together, you go and report."

Shumo arched his hands and replied: "I'm reporting to the city lord, sir is not free at this time, the younger one will definitely report to the sir later, and invite the city lord to follow the younger one to rest in the house."

Ling Chu frowned slightly, and squinted at Shumo: "I'm going to see Mr. Dongfang now, get out of the way."

Shumo made a big gift to Ling Chu and said in a low voice: "City Lord, sir, you have orders first, and the little ones dare not disobey them. Please don't embarrass the little ones."

"Presumptuous! I asked you to report to see your husband's face. How dare you stop the person I want to see?!"

Hearing this, Shumo knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "The city lord, calm down, I dare not disobey my master's order, so I ask the city lord to forgive me."

"You are a little book boy, how dare you stop me? Get out!"

Ling Chu kicked away the ink on the ground, and strode towards the backyard. The guards at the side stepped back a few steps, not daring to stop him at all.

"City Lord! Mister is setting up formations in the courtyard at this time, don't enter at will!"

Ling Chu, who was about to step into the backyard, froze when he heard the words, but he was very clear about Dongfang Yu's ability to deploy formations. Back then, he saw Dongfang Yu laying out a life-threatening battle with only a few small stones. The fierce formation, the evil formation that can make Dongfang Yu spend his time studying, I am afraid it will not be much better.

Thinking of this, Ling Chu pretended to be calm and caressed the hem of his clothes, and ordered two guards not far away to order: "You two go in and tell Mr. Dongfang, and say that the deity invites him to enjoy the flowers, and ask him to come out and see you." .”

The two guards shivered suddenly, you looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at Shumo beside him, asking for help in their eyes.

"Shut up and say one more word, I will immediately cut off your tongue and throw it to the back mountain!" Ling Chu stopped Shumo who was about to speak and looked coldly at the two guards, "Hurry up!"

The two guards shook their heads, even though they didn't want to, they had to obey Ling Chu's orders.

Seeing the two guards stepping into the backyard and disappearing from sight the next moment, Ling Chu frowned slightly.The reason why he didn't let Shumo in was that he knew Dongfang Yu's work. Shutong is Shutong. Dongfang Yu would not teach Shumo any formation skills. Even if Shumo was allowed to enter, it would be useless. If Shumo left Unfortunately, he really didn't know how to explain to Dongfang Yu.

"Master Zuo!!"

Two horrified shouts came from the courtyard, Ling Chu suddenly raised his eyes, but saw two black shadows falling towards him.Ling Chu's figure flashed, and the next moment he appeared on the other side outside the courtyard. He stared wide-eyed at the ground not far away, his eyes filled with disbelief.
