You rascal, stop right there!

Chapter 171: Finally out of control

The next day.

When Ling Shumo and Chen Xingyi woke up, they didn't find anyone, or rather, they searched the entire underground but couldn't find any trace of anyone.

The stone chamber was empty, including Lin Fu.

In front of the huge kiln, there was a piece of burnt white gauze, a broken brush, and a torn-up "Ink Bamboo" painting.

Just one day had passed, and the surroundings had changed so much.

Ling Shumo stood in front of the kiln, holding his injured shoulder, but his face was stern.

"Li Li has been here."

It was hard to explain why this person appeared here. Chen Xingyi stared at him and asked, "How did you know?"

Ling Shumo's eyes darkened: "I can recognize the handwriting of everyone in the court."

The calligraphy and paintings thrown aside on the ground were ordinary.

"Then the boss was captured? Or... killed?"

This unrestrained speculation sounded harsh to the ears.

At first glance, Ling Shumo was unable to react for a long time. It took him a long time to realize the meaning of these words.

Then, the wound on his shoulder suddenly hurt. The tendons and veins spread to his heart with his breathing, as if being whipped by a long whip of fire.

For a moment, he suddenly felt his eyes go blank as he stared at the flames in the kiln.

Chen Xingyi just sighed and looked at the shallow marks on the ground:

"It's only been one night, they can't have gone far. I'm good at tracking, and I can still catch up now."

The person on the other side responded and followed the light...

They were chased by footprints under the candlelight, and after searching the stone chamber, they finally found the entrance to the burned remains of the Lin Mansion ruins.

It turned out to be under a tree next to the lotus pond...

As soon as he went out, Ling Shumo felt a pain in his shoulder. He really didn't know where Bai Wan was kidnapped by Li Li.

He already had some basic knowledge in martial arts, so even if his injuries had not healed, he would not be so weak that he could not move forward.

He was much slower than Chen Xingyi, but he was still forcing himself to move forward...

This was clearly a misplaced grudge from many years ago, and this kind of thing couldn't and shouldn't happen.

I'm afraid... if I touch this person again and again, it will be worse than the last time Jiang Zhou blinded Ah Bai...

On the way, they ran into each other near the inn where Li Li and his group were staying.

Dozens of soldiers and medicine boys stopped and landed in front of his eyes, clearly visible.

Chen Xingyi looked at this group of people and felt annoyed. He roughly guessed that Lin Fu was also taken away.

Ling Shumo looked at the people who were drinking tea outside and couldn't stop, staring at the other person coldly.

"Where's Abai?"

Li Li lowered his eyes and said, "Lord Ling came here with injuries just to ask this?"

Lin Fu behind him glanced sideways as his eyes flashed.

Ling Shumo suddenly felt a pain in his heart and asked solemnly: "What did you do to him?"

Li Li just stared at him coldly: "I just threw him into the furnace and let this nine-life cat demon surrender."

The person on the other side was still a little confused for a moment. Ling Shumo turned around and asked the medicine boy next to him in disbelief.

"Really?"

"Yes!" the young man paused timidly, "We were the ones who threw that person in..."

The words fell, as if he was not talking about throwing a person, but some ordinary firewood.

The kiln...

Ling Shumo stood there calmly, seemingly neither angry nor annoyed, and with no other emotions, his entire person seemed distorted.

Chen Xingyi, who was standing next to him, watched him sit upright, without even a trace of expression on his face, his eyes looking into the distance.

This is wrong. Very wrong...

No matter how gentle she is, she shouldn't be so calm, especially since the two of them are in such a relationship...

"Want to kill me?" Li Li laughed coldly, "I just want to settle the matter."

What is "Limited"?

Ling Shumo's breathing was intermittent and he felt it was difficult to breathe. Finally, he couldn't help but hold his hand to his chest and frowned.

He had known Han Miaoran for so many years, but every time something happened to her, he was either unaware of it, or was too late to save her...

Ah Bai always handles everything by himself and never acts like he needs him...

For a moment, this pain almost gathered the sum of all the separations in the past...

Ling Shumo looked up at the person opposite him, his eyes suddenly reddened: "Have you ever seen a tiger eat its own cubs?"

Li Li didn't understand why this person suddenly brought up this matter. He thought that this person would at most stop writing.

Finally, the person on the other side walked around behind him and said, "Do you believe that there is a father in this world who wants to burn his own child to death?"

how can that be!

Finally, in the moment when Li Li was stunned, Ling Shumo turned around and put the dagger against the man's throat.

He didn't react for a moment, and was directly held down by Chen Xingyi and Ling Shumo, unable to move.

Finally, he shouted, "Ling Shumo, as an official appointed by the imperial court, how dare you do such a thing as killing people in broad daylight!"

The person behind him smiled woodenly when he heard this: "Life for life, isn't that right?"

Li Li raised his head tightly and said, "You are just mad at me because Han Miaoran died!"

"Turning out your anger?" Ling Shumo had a smile on his face, and his expression seemed like he was trying his best to restrain himself, and he used more force with the dagger in his hand.

There was a bloody scratch on the neck of the person in his hand. It looked like he really wanted to kill him.

This out-of-control behavior was frightening, even the assassin Chen Xingyi was shocked.

This is no longer a problem of a fake person, the cold expression is like a completely different person.

The people around wanted to step forward to help, but were directly persuaded by the looks and actions of the man and could not move.

Li Li felt the pain in his neck getting worse. He could almost guess what the next point would be, and his legs went limp.

"I don't owe him anything. Han Miaoran had jumped into the moat and died that year, and I didn't want to make a fuss about it. Who knows that he would have been found alive later..."

Jump into the moat?

The new remarks are even more shocking!

Although Ling Shumo was injured, he reacted very quickly and jumped forward. This was the first time he had heard of this.

"What moat?"

Li Li actually found it a little funny that he was about to be killed but he didn't know these things.

"Aren't you lifelong friends...he never told you?"

"After the late emperor released him six years ago, he was transferred by the palace to a well prison in a courtyard outside the capital..."

"He later escaped and drowned himself in the moat!"

Although I don’t know how this person escaped.

However, it is a fact that those people forced a man who could not swim to the river.

However, since it involved the imperial palace, the world naturally concealed the incident as the work of pirates.

"What are you talking about?!" Ling Shumo was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, Li Li felt that the thing in this person's hand was a little loose.

He raised his hand and gestured, and the people around him formed a circle.

By the time Ling Shumo reacted, Li Li had already broken free.

The man with the shoulder injury was still standing aside, feeling confused.

His mind was full of memories of six years ago, when Han Miaoran was imprisoned in the well and jumped into the moat...

Bai Wan, who had recovered her memory, never told me...

Now, just like this...
