The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 485: Gathering Team Members for Action

"Xi'er, wait a minute! Spare her life!"

Cao Zhu helped himself to sit up on the bed and hurriedly shouted to Lin Xi, but he was still a step too late.

"Uncle, don't talk yet, I'll treat your wound first!"

Lin Xi rushed back to the bed and said to Cao Zhu.

After saying that, he began to perform healing magic on Cao Zhu. Within just a few breaths, all of Cao Zhu's wounds were healed. If it weren't for the blood on his clothes, there would be no sign of injury at all.

"Xi'er! Where did you learn this skill? It's amazing. Teach your uncle when you have time!"

Cao Zhu touched and looked at his body here and there, and shouted in surprise.

"Okay, I'll teach you when I have time."

Lin Xi agreed very readily. She is never stingy with people she cares about.

After saying that, he kicked Hongmei's body and asked Cao Zhu, "Uncle, why did you ask me to spare her life just now?"

"Oh! This person must know a lot of the dirty things Zhao Ting'er did. I wanted to torture her severely and let her identify Zhao Ting'er."

Cao Zhu stood up and walked to Lin Xi's side, looking at Hongmei who had already died and said.

"This person is a subordinate of the Jin Kingdom's national master. I don't know if he has other evil cultivation methods. In case of any accidents, it is better for her to leave as soon as possible! My great-grandfather and General Cao already have definite evidence of what Zhao Ting'er and Cao Fangqing did. Hongmei is of little use."

Thinking that if she had come a little later, her uncle would have lost his life, Lin Xi was terrified. She looked at Hongmei coldly, summoned Xiaoque out of the boundary bead and ordered: "Xiaoque, dispose of her body!"

"Yes, Master!"

Xiaoque agreed and brought Hongmei's body into the yard. It spit out a flame from its mouth, and Hongmei's body turned into ashes in an instant. It flapped its wings, and the ashes floated towards the outside of Cao Zhu's mansion.

Lin Xi had just taken Xiao Que back into the boundary bead when the three brothers Lin Kang, Lin Ping and Lin An arrived at the yard almost at the same time.

"Uncle, are you okay?"

Looking at the blood on Cao Zhu's body, the three Lin Kang brothers asked with concern.

"It's okay. My wounds have been healed. Fortunately, your sister came in time, otherwise I would have become the soul under the knife of Hongmei!"

Cao Zhu took off his blood-stained clothes with several holes in them, took out a clean coat from the space ring, put it on quickly, and said with a smile.

"Where is that thief Hongmei?"

Hearing that his uncle almost lost his life, Xiao An'er's face turned serious and a long knife appeared in his hand.

"She must have been taken care of by my sister!"

Lin Ping patted Lin An's hand holding the knife and spoke softly.

After saying that, he motioned for Lin An to smell the smell in the air. He had smelled that smell before when Xiao Que was dealing with the corpses of the bandits who invaded Linshan Village.

"Hongmei's body was dealt with by Xiaoque!"

Lin Kang also smelled the scent, touched Lin An's head and said.

Lin An sniffed a few times before putting the long sword into the space ring and giving up his intention to cut Hongmei into pieces.

"Uncle, do you know this place?"

Lin Xi took out the note that the old prime minister gave her tonight from her arms. On it was the address of a courtyard. She looked at Cao Zhu and asked.

"I know, Xi'er, why are you looking for this place?"

Cao Zhu took the note, looked at it, and asked Lin Xi with a puzzled look on his face.

"Hongmei's accomplices are staying here. I'm going to kill them all. They have killed many innocent people and deserve to die! This will also save us from being ordered by Zhao Ting'er to deal with us again."

Lin Xi's eyes flashed coldly. He put the note back into the boundary bead and spoke slowly.

"Okay, Xier, shall we go now?"

"Wait a moment, wait for my friends to come over, and then we can set off together."

After Lin Xi answered Cao Zhu, he turned to Lin Kang and the other two and said, "Brother, Lin Ping, Xiao An'er, go and bring Sister Daya and the others here! Let everyone change into night clothes."

The three of them nodded in agreement, then leaped away and disappeared.

Cao Zhu and Lin Xi each took out a set of night clothes and changed into them, then covered their faces with scarves.

As soon as the face scarf was tied, loud shouts came from all directions of the yard.

"How dare you, you thief, break into General Cao's residence at night? Why don't you surrender now?"

At the same time, a group of people with swords attacked Cao Zhu and Lin Xi.

It turned out that Hongmei had poisoned these people, and as soon as the poison wore off and they regained their senses, they discovered that two thieves had escaped their eyes and broke into their general's courtyard. This was outrageous, so they surrounded the two without thinking.

"Uncle, let me test the skills of your men!"

Just as Cao Zhu was about to shout at his men to stop, he heard Lin Xi's voice in his ears. So he swallowed the words he was about to say, turned around and started fighting with these guards together with Lin Xi.

"Why do I feel that this tall guy looks a bit like a general?"

"Yes, I feel the same way. Look at his moves."

"And that short guy, how come he also knows the swordsmanship we learned from Master Lin?"

The more they fought, the more they felt something was wrong. They were too familiar with the moves used by the two men on the opposite side. Moreover, several times they had the opportunity to kill them, but they suddenly retreated. It didn't seem like they were fighting for their lives, but more like they were sparring with them.

"General? Is that you?"

A leading guard ordered the other guards to stop and step back, then looked at Cao Zhu and asked tentatively.

"It seems that you have not been lazy in the mansion during this period. You are quite skilled."

Seeing that they had recognized him, Cao Zhu pulled off his veil and said with a smile.

"Greetings, General! General, what's going on? We have been guarding this yard, but we didn't see you leave the room, nor did we see this friend enter the yard."

The guards looked at each other in confusion. Their general had said after returning to Beijing today that there was a high possibility that someone would come to assassinate him, so they asked everyone to be on high alert.

All their guards were mobilized, and personnel were deployed in various places in the general's mansion. It is no exaggeration to say that they didn't even dare to blink, for fear of letting in assassins.

There were more people secretly protecting the yard where the general was. The general and his friend were standing in the yard, so how come they didn't notice it?

"You were just poisoned. You had no sense of the outside world during the period of poisoning. Now that the poison has worn off, your five senses have recovered. I have already dealt with the assassin. There is no need for so many people to guard here. Go and rest in groups."

Cao Zhu was very kind to these soldiers who had fought together on the battlefield in the past, and spoke with a smile.

"Yes, General!"

Upon hearing this, the guards knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to Cao Zhu. Some of them were left to patrol various places in the mansion, while the others went back to rest. Before leaving, they curiously looked at Lin Xi, who was masked with a black scarf, but seeing that their general had no intention of introducing him, they tactfully did not ask any more questions.
