Chapter 1716 Difficulties
After solving the matter here, he couldn't catch up with the other party. Liu Xin stopped chasing him. He was still worried about Koi, so he had to go back to the Yingjia as soon as possible to find Koi.
Liu Xin ran to the masked city quickly, but when she was on the road, she found a pool of blood. At that moment, Liu Xin felt that her heart suddenly exploded. There was no blood here when she came, but now it appeared, which means that there had been a fight here, and, just now, it was where the shadow passed by, so it was very likely that the shadow had been ambushed.
Liu Xin looked around and found a trace of blood around. In this way, there was still blood on the grass on one side. Liu Xin slowly walked along the direction of the blood, so she had no intention of returning to the masked city.
Soon, Liu Xin broke away from his original sequence and followed the bloodstain to a cliff. By the time he arrived here, the bloodstain had already dried up, but at this moment, there were still traces of fighting on the edge of the cliff. At that moment, Liu Xin looked down. The cliff was not very high, and there was a river below, which was very calm, but Liu Xin felt the calmness below, as if the undercurrent was surging.
"Shadow, koi." Liu Xin roared at the bottom. He was not sure whether the bloodstain just now had a koi with shadows, but it made Liu Xin feel uneasy. No matter what, it would be best if the shadows and the others went back. In this way, he was just worrying now. But if the bloodstain was really a shadow, it means that the koi had a danger.
Originally, Liu Xin didn't expect any answer to this shout, but suddenly he heard the sounds below, as if it was the sound of a shadow, hoarseness. At that moment, Liu Xin was overjoyed, as long as the shadow was still alive.
"Where are you?" Liu Xin asked loudly.
"Did you see it below the cliff? Hurry up and save us." The sound of the shadow came, and there seemed to be an echo. When Liu Xin poked her head out, she saw that on a large stone on the edge of the cliff, the shadow was carrying a koi and holding a vine extending down the cliff with one hand.
"Wait, I'll save you." Liu Xin shouted, feeling extremely excited. The bad premonition just now was swept away. He grabbed the vine directly, pulled it hard, and pulled the shadow up, hugged the koi.
"It's okay, why are you here?" Liu Xin asked, holding the koi and looking at the shadow lying on the ground and gasping for breath.
"After we left just now, we didn't expect that they were still ambushing them. On the road behind, I surrounded me directly. I took the koi and had no way to fight with them, so I could only rush out and ran away. I didn't expect that I actually ran here. I couldn't think of so much at that time. I felt that no matter what, it was dead anyway, and I couldn't fight with them with the koi, so I jumped down. I didn't expect that there was a vine here, and what I didn't expect was that there was a big stone behind the vine, which saved our lives." Shadow said while gasping.
It seemed that Shadow would feel nervous whenever he thought about the situation just now. He did not expect that the other party's ambush was so meticulous. Moreover, when he was jumping down just now, although he grabbed the vine, Shadow was already injured. In order to protect the koi, he could only hang on the cliff like this and had no strength to climb up.
Although Shadow said it very easily, Liu Xin was still quite moved. He felt that he had not misjudged Shadow. After this incident, the relationship between Liu Xin and Shadow became more real.
"Let's go, let's go back first." Liu Xin said, stretching out her hand. Shadow didn't hesitate, and directly grabbed Liu Xin's hand and stood up. In the sun, the two of them looked at each other and smiled brightly.
On the way, Koi had woken up. Koi knew about what happened just now, but when Shadow was fighting with the other party, Koi fell into a coma due to physical pain, so he couldn't remember too many things.
"Do you know who did this thing?" Liu Xin asked while running quickly.
"Ziheng of Zi's family." Koi answered very firmly, but Liu Xin was embarrassed because Liu Xin felt that although Ziheng did this, Ziheng might have been instructed. The person behind the scenes has not appeared yet, and even Koi doesn't know it. This makes the other party even more mysterious.
Liu Xin did not continue asking because he knew that Koi didn't know who the person behind the scenes was. The most important thing now is to feel like going back and let Koi return to the water to rest.
The two of them quickly returned to the Masked City. Shadow speeded up and stopped in front. After all, there were guards at the gate of the Masked City. If they ran in like this, they might even be suspected to be the enemy by the other party. Therefore, Shadow needs to negotiate in advance. Using his identity as the son of the city lord, this matter is easy.
Soon, Liu Xin followed Shadow back to the Yingjia. Shadow quickly asked someone to prepare a large tank, and the tank was filled with water. Liu Xin directly put the koi into the water. Moreover, in order to keep secrets and not let others know, Liu Xin also specially asked someone to move the large tank into his room. In this way, only he and Shadow knew about this. In Liu Xin's psychological aspect, Shadow had become his own person, so there was nothing to hide from.
"What's going on?" Shadow looked at Liu Xin and put the koi in the water and asked curiously. When he was in the woods just now, Shadow didn't ask much because the situation was tense, but now it's different. Everything has calmed down, so Shadow needs to know something.
"She is called Koi, and she is a carp. If she leaves the water for too long, she will not be able to survive." Liu Xin said. Although she said it very lightly, Liu Xin felt that the shadow would be clear. After all, Koi has a reputation and people with a slightly more stature should have heard of it. Next to the lake water next to Muke Village, there is a thousand-year-old carp.
Sure enough, the shadow widened his eyes, opened his mouth, and looked at Liu Xin incredibly. He did not expect that the koi was actually a carp, which was beyond his expectations.
"Not many people in the entire Masked City know about this matter now. You must keep this secret, otherwise the koi will be in danger." Liu Xin said.
"Don't worry, I won't say it out." Shadow nodded. Liu Xin believed him so that he would tell him all this. Shadow himself knew this.
"But now, Ziheng already knows it. Wouldn't he tell others about this?" Shadow asked. The koi was caught by Ziheng, and Ziheng must have known about it.
"I will deal with this matter. Please help me take good care of her. I will go find Ziheng first and warn him." Liu Xin said, thinking about what happened last night.
In fact, what Liu Xin gave to the servant and Ziheng last night was not a poison, but just two muds that Liu Xin had randomly squeezed on the ground. After all, Liu Xin was not the King of Medicine, where did the poison come from? Liu Xin did all this just to scare the servant and Ziheng. Otherwise, who would know if they would report the news? Before the koi was rescued, everything was unknown. Liu Xin was not a brave but unscrupulous man, so everything he did needed to be back.
Now Liu Xin goes to Zi’s house, in fact, to reassure the servant and Ziheng, so that they will not be able to see through their poison scam. In this way, if they still have some use of them in the future, the same method can be used.
Soon, Liu Xin came to Zi's house. At the gate of Zi's house, Liu Xin saw the servant last night, guarding the door, as if waiting for someone. He walked forward and waited at the corner.
Liu Xin smiled. It seemed that everyone was afraid of death. He walked to the servant. After seeing Liu Xin, the servant seemed to have seen his savior. He looked at Liu Xin excitedly and stretched out his hands directly, as if waiting for Liu Xin to give him an antidote.
"Is there anything that happened last night, and is there anything else to tell me?" Liu Xin asked in a low voice.
"No, I went back after you went in last night, but nothing happened." The man said quickly. His life was in Liu Xin's hands. Moreover, when he heard Liu Xin say the poison yesterday, the man didn't fall asleep all night, just waiting for Liu Xin to give him an antidote.
"Who is your eldest master closest to?" Liu Xin asked in a low voice.
"The eldest young master has many friends, and people come every day, and they are all children of different families, coming and going." The servant said. Liu Xin knew that this matter was definitely not something that a servant could tell. After all, the other party was hiding by Ziheng's side and buried himself so deeply that he would definitely not be able to know about it casually, so Liu Xin was too lazy to ask again.
"This is the antidote. Go in. I will look for you again if there is anything in the future." Liu Xin said. He made the antidote with a herb, just to fool the other party. After the servant got the so-called antidote, he was grateful to Liu Xin, and he almost knelt down. He was afraid that Liu Xin would regret it, so he took the antidote directly.
Looking at the family servants leaving, Liu Xin felt a little sad. In this world, many people actually exist for others. They are all living at the lowest end, but they have to bear the greatest pressure.
Liu Xin did not leave, but continued to wait here. After waiting for a while, Ziheng came out. Originally, Liu Xin planned to throw the antidote in, but thought that there were people behind Ziheng, so Liu Xin did not throw it away. Instead, he asked the servant to call Ziheng and let him come out by himself.
Soon, Ziheng came out. After leaving the gate, he looked around and soon found Liu Xin and hurriedly walked towards Liu Xin.
"Brother, where is the antidote?" Ziheng looked at Liu Xin with a nervous look on his face, as if he was afraid that Liu Xin would not give him an antidote.
"Don't worry, I'll give it to you if I say it. The question is that you have to answer a few more questions from me." Liu Xin said.
"Brother, tell me." Ziheng's life is now in Liu Xin's hands, so how dare you refuse?
"Did you catch the koi?" Liu Xin asked.
"Yes." Ziheng nodded. When things got to this point, he had nothing to hide. Even if he didn't admit it, Liu Xin had already rescued Koi. By then, Koi would know who caught her.
"Who instructed you to do this?" Liu Xin asked.
