    Chen Jinke, a disciple of the Kongtong Sect, leaned against the window and peered out. He remained motionless for an entire hour, as if he had just fallen asleep. Finally he "woke up" and turned to Lin Xiaoshan and said, "I think it's almost done." Lin Xiaoshan  Sitting on a chair, holding his son tightly in his arms, the father and son had not seen each other for a year. Lin Xin no longer knew his father. It took him half the night to settle down beside him. At this time, he was sleeping soundly, and his cheeks were already a little wet.  The appearance of his mother made Lin Xiaoshan feel even more sad.  "Everyone is gone?" "I think so. Your idea is good. They have no doubts now." The current situation of the two of them is very special, as if they are being detained, but there are no guards in sight, and the door is not locked.  , but every time they went out less than twenty steps, a killer with a narrow knife would show up unexpectedly and politely invite them back. To be precise, they were placed under house arrest.  Every two or three days, Zhong Heng will come to report the situation outside. Sometimes he is optimistic, sometimes he is nervous. In short, the government's investigation is very strict. They are still in danger and cannot go out casually. As for the Dragon King, he is still with Xiaolan at the border.  Clan's confrontation will come to the capital soon.  The same days repeated themselves day by day. The only change was that the chains on both wrists were opened. They still lived in the same room and spent a lot of time analyzing the assassination that night in detail. The more they thought about it, the more something was wrong.  .  Lin Xiaoshan once asked Zhong Heng who was the aristocratic young man besides Prince Xiao who was killed that night. Zhong Heng did not evade, "Sun Liang, my ancestor was an official, and now I am not considered a nobleman, but  He was a follower of Prince Xiao. He hid in the palace with him and stayed in the next room. He happened to be up at night, so he had to kill him. "Zhong Heng said it so calmly and casually, with no flaws in his expression or voice.  Even the eyes are sincere.  Chen Jinke almost believed him, and later said to Lin Xiaoshan: "Is the Dragon King really so powerful? He can actually send you to the palace for assassination. Alas, I will never have the face to see King Xiao again." Chen Jinke only met King Xiao once.  , Master Zhan and Uncle Fan still took the spotlight, but that was the beginning of his career in the world.  It was over just after he tasted the sweetness, which made him heartbroken.  Lin Xiaoshan had other ideas. He had lived in the capital for many years. In order to find out information for the Dragon King, he had many interactions with princes and nobles, and he hid a secret in his heart.  This allowed him to see the facts more clearly, "The Dragon King doesn't have this ability. Even if he did, he wouldn't waste it on Prince Xiao." "Hey, isn't the Dragon King helping you get revenge?" "You don't understand him."  Lin Xiaoshan didn't know much about the Dragon King, but from the way the Dragon King treated Jiang He, he understood one thing: "The Dragon King is not a bad person. But he is not a good person either. He will not do anything unless it is beneficial to him.  . Just risking killing people in the palace to avenge me? No, this is definitely not the character of the Dragon King. Moreover, I can clearly see that the other person who died was dressed neatly, not in fancy clothes, and he was definitely not a follower.  "The two talked about this issue for two days, and finally Chen Jinke admitted that Lin Xiaoshan's guess was probably right: they were being used.  Zhong Heng hid many secrets.  They tried to escape, but failed. Instead, Zhong Heng strengthened his guard. Chen Jinke then proposed a new idea, "If this continues, we can't escape no matter what. We have to make Zhong Heng relax his guard and think that we don't want to run away at all."  The two behaved very obediently from then on. When Zhong Heng described the situation outside as very dangerous, they showed the appropriate panic.  More than twenty days later, the guards only relaxed slightly and escape was still impossible. Lin Xiaoshan decided to behave more realistically and began to pester Zhong Heng, hoping to take his son over to show that he planned to hide for a long time.  This move seems to have really worked. Yesterday morning, Lin Xiaoshan finally saw his son whom he had not seen for a long time. He held him in his arms and cried bitterly. He almost forgot that this move had another purpose.  Last night, Zhong Heng moved them to another hiding place and greatly reduced the guards. This morning, there seemed to be no one left.  Chen Jinke has been practicing his skills in finding the traces of killers these days, and he has quite a lot of experience, especially during the day. He found that killers don't actually have many unexpected hiding methods. Their greatest advantage is their patience and hiding behind the scenes.  You can stay in one place for a long time. Such a simple trick is enough to hide it from most people's eyes. Even experienced veterans rarely pay too much attention to rigid things.  Chen Jinke's method of coping was to divide the surrounding environment into several small pieces, and then scan each piece one by one. He stared for an hour and found nothing. There were many blind spots that he could not see, but he determined that there were no more than three guards nearby.  , maybe only one.  "Is it now?" Lin Xiaoshan hesitated instead. He wanted his son to show his incompetence.He ran away, but holding Lin Xin in his arms and looking at the little face that was slightly similar to his deceased wife, he didn't dare to take risks. This was his only relative. If another accident happened, he would not even have the courage to live.  None.  "I have a hunch that there seems to be something big happening today. The killers have been transferred away. After today, there may not be a better opportunity." Chen Jinke glanced at the sleeping child, "Zhong Heng has kept us here for so long.  Even if he finds out that we are trying to escape, he will not kill us. " Lin Xiaoshan nodded. He cannot stay here forever. Zhong Heng must have a plan. Once it is realized, the three of them will become redundant.  "Then let's go." Chen Jinke said that the two of them had already made a plan and there was no need to discuss it further.  Lin Xiaoshan carefully placed his son on the bed and went out alone. He stood in the small courtyard for a while, then pushed the courtyard door and locked it from the outside. This was a good sign, indicating that the number of guards was indeed reduced.  He grabbed the door frame and climbed up. After a few feet off the ground, he looked up and saw a person standing on the wall diagonally above. With many years of experience in Biyu City, Lin Xiaoshan recognized this person at a glance as the Jinpeng killer.  The killer was about thirty years old. Because he deliberately wanted to appear calm, his expression was a little weird, as if he didn't care about others.  "What are you doing?" the killer asked.  "Go out for some air and get some things for my son to play with." "There is nothing outside." "There are no flowers, trees, insects, or birds? When I came last night, I clearly saw that this was a big garden.  "The killer was at a loss for words, "No, you can't go out." "You could go out before, why can't you today? Where's Zhong Heng? Call him, I want to see him." The killer put his right hand on the knife's handle.  He said in a slow voice: "Go back to the house." Lin Xiaoshan was angry, climbed up another foot, and said loudly: "I grew up in Biyu City. I have never been afraid of any killers. Even the Dragon King is not as unreasonable as you.  , I'm just looking for some toys for the children, it's okay" The killer didn't like to argue, so he jumped into the courtyard and dragged Lin Xiaoshan down.  Lin Xiaoshan fell to the ground, rolled over, and hugged the killer's ankle.  The killer suddenly woke up and knew that he had been tricked. He drew his sword out of its sheath and stabbed Lin Xiaoshan on the back. At this moment, his instinct took over and he had long forgotten the order to stay alive.  The tip of the knife was less than half a foot away from Lin Xiaoshan's back, and the killer stood frozen.  Chen Jinke ran out of the house, his face was pale, and he took a long breath. He used a stone to hit the killer's acupuncture point. This move was a profound martial arts, and the deviation had no effect at all. He was not familiar with it, so he was really afraid of one move.  He missed and killed Lin Xiaoshan.  After repairing a few acupuncture points on the killer's body, Chen Jinke looked around and said, "It seems he is the only one. How to deal with it, kill him?" Lin Xiaoshan shook his head, "If they are really working for the Dragon King, we have made a big mistake."  Lin Xiaoshan went back to the house to hug his son. Chen Jinke circled around the killer, grabbed the narrow knife from the opponent's hand, and waved it twice. He felt that this strange weapon was not very comfortable, but it was better than nothing, so he took off the scabbard and  He said to the killer: "You borrowed it. You have locked us up for so long. We should pay a price." The killer could not speak, his eyes were full of anger and fear, as if what Chen Jinke took away was not just a knife, but him.  half life.  Lin Xiaoshan came out. Chen Jinke took Lin Xin and jumped up the wall with him in his arms. Lin Xiaoshan climbed up on his own. The two of them took a look around. It was indeed a huge garden. The yard where they lived was lonely.  "What's wrong?" Lin Xiaoshan asked after jumping to the ground. When he picked up his son from Chen Jinke, he found that the other person's face was slightly confused.  "I seem to have been here before, but I can't remember the specific situation." "The gardens in the capital are all the same." Chen Jinke nodded, thinking that this was probably the reason.  Next, he explored the path in front, and Lin Xiaoshan followed more than ten steps behind, coaxing his son from time to time, hoping that he would not wake up suddenly and cry.  "Strange." Chen Jinke stopped and turned around and whispered.  Lin Xiaoshan caught up, "Just one guard, no one else?" "No, but look at the flowers and plants nearby, they are all carefully taken care of." "Let's go out and talk." Lin Xiaoshan could already see into the distance.  The wall here is much higher than the wall of the small courtyard where the two of them live. How to climb out later is still a problem.  Before going far, Chen Jinke stopped again and pulled out his narrow knife.  Lin Xiaoshan slowly approached, followed Chen Jinchun¡¯s gaze, and saw a cluster of flowers.There was a person holding him, as if asleep, motionless.  Chen Jinke held the knife and crept close to the flowers. He bent down and took a look, then pulled the man out.  This is also a killer. The narrow knife under his waist is still there and not unsheathed, but it has obviously been hit on the acupuncture points. Chen Jinke pressed on him a few times, raised his head and said: "It's a very strange technique, I have never seen it before."  Passed." Lin Xiaoshan looked around in horror, no longer feeling that there was no one in the garden.
