NOVEL NEXT Chapter 84
Chapter 84: You can move in tomorrow and help me catch mice
“Alright, alright, stop looking, you won’t find it.”
Nongyu insisted, “How could it not be found? As long as we find the mouse hole, we can find it.”
Sister Zi flipped her eyes, “You won’t even find the mouse hole.”
Nongyu was puzzled.
How could such an obvious hole not be found?
Unless it’s hidden!
But why would Sister Zi hide it?
Sister Zi spread her legs, saw that her feet were almost clean, and lifted them from the water.
Smiling, she said, “Don’t worry, it won’t break.”
The little feet in the air were covered with glistening water droplets.
The skin on the top of the feet was snow-white and delicate, drops of water slid down, dripping into the basin.
“Why won’t it break?”
Nongyu muttered in doubt, picked up a towel next to her, squatted down, and gently wiped Sister Zi’s feet.
The lotus feet were slightly arched, as smooth as gelatin.
Exquisite and delicate, they felt as fragile as two soft clouds in the hand.
“Sister Zi, your feet are really white, so pretty.”
Sister Zi squinted, “You, how come your mouth has become so sweet?”
“Is there something you want to ask me?”
Nongyu’s eyes flickered, casually saying, “No.”
Sister Zi leaned her body and head to look at Nongyu crouching at her feet, dragging her words, “No~?”
She was a master of observing words and expressions, how could she not see Nongyu’s thoughts.
Moreover, the two had been together for a long time, so when Nongyu pouted… she knew if she wanted to squat or sit.
“Are you asking about the matter with sir?”
Nongyu’s action of carrying the water basin to pour water hesitated, and cautiously said, “You and sir…”
Sister Zi looked at her, and said impatiently, “You saw everything last night, didn’t you?”
Nongyu hesitated, shaking her head repeatedly, “I didn’t see.”
“You really didn’t see?”
“Well… I didn’t see clearly!”
“Then how do you know it was sir?”
“Uh, because… because…”
Caught off guard by Sister Zi’s question, Nongyu couldn’t possibly say that sir and I “locked eyes” for a moment, right?
Sister Zi calmly said, “If you saw it, you saw it, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
Nongyu pursed her lips.
Suddenly, she felt a strange taste in her heart, feeling a bit stuffy.
“Oh, I have a vacant room next to mine, you can move in here in the future.”
As Nongyu was about to leave with the water basin, Sister Zi, who was bending down to put on her shoes, suddenly spoke up.
“Huh? Why should I move in?”
Sister Zi looked at her, not kindly saying, “To help me catch mice!”
*
During this time, Ji Wuye was undoubtedly in a dilemma.
The matter of Wei Wuji and Nameless’s deaths had not been resolved, and now another mess had emerged.
The assassins he sent out on missions always inexplicably disappeared.
The key point was that no clues could be found!
They were neither seen alive nor found dead!
As if they had evaporated from the earth!
Now his assassins were almost at the point of turning pale when receiving a mission!
Whether the mission was dangerous or not was not important, what mattered was that once you accepted a mission, you couldn’t come back.
If that was all.
However, Lu Buwei of Qin also sent him a few letters.
The meaning of the letters was very clear.
His Eight Linglong, who had been sent to Xinzheng, was killed, suffering such a big loss, and the net of Lu Buwei would certainly not let it go.
But the people he sent to Xinzheng to search for the Jing Ni also disappeared.
Once they set foot in Xinzheng’s territory, they vanished without a trace.
In Han and Xinzheng.
Who besides Ji Wuye, could have the ability to do this!
The biggest possibility was that Ji Wuye knew that Lu Buwei was interfering between Han and Wei.
Now he was retaliating against his net!
But, where did you, Ji Wuye, get the courage?
Except for Ji Wuye, Lu Buwei couldn’t think of anyone else who could kill so many people in Xinzheng.
Jing Ni?
Impossible!
Although Jing Ni was extraordinary, the people he sent out were not ordinary.
Even if they were defeated, so many people couldn’t just die without a sound.
Is Jing Ni responsible for this?
One could argue she possesses the strength, but not necessarily the capability!
The people sent out by the Network were not one or two, nor one or two times.
How could he alone manage to kill all of them?
To do that.
At least two requirements must be met.
First, there must be people from the other party in the Han court.
There must also be people at the Han border and at the Xinzhen defense point.
Only in this way can it be known that people from the state of Qin have come!
Second, the other party is not fighting alone.
Their own several assassins have been killed, and the other party cannot appear in multiple places at the same time!
So they not only have a large number of people, but also have multiple experts in charge.
Thinking about it, there is no one else except Ji Wuye!
Ji Wuye is still pondering over there!
Does Lu Buwei suspect him?
He also suspects that Lu Buwei is the one who is killing him!
The two are now estranged, both secretly wary of each other.
It’s night.
The night is as dark as ink.
The sky has no stars, the firmament has no moon.
The night wind rustles, and the tree shadows sway.
Two figures walk together.
One is tall and straight, the other graceful.
Li Mo and Jing Ni came out of Purple Orchid Pavilion not long ago, holding hands as they slowly walked back.
To anyone who sees them, they are just a loving couple.
But when they passed by an alley, Jing Ni suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong, honey?” Li Mo also stopped, asking with concern.
Jing Ni’s deep and bright eyes are like the stars and moon in the night.
Her gaze fell on the wall at the entrance of the alley.
Her voice was calm, as still as a pond without ripples.
“It’s the secret code of the Network.”
On the wall at the alley entrance, there is a black pattern.
Casually drawn, it looks like a child’s doodle.
Upon closer inspection, one would find that the pattern looks somewhat like a menacing spider with its fangs bared.
Li Mo nodded, “How many legs?”
Jing Ni scanned the pattern on the wall and replied, “One eye, six legs, three on each side.”
Li Mo’s mouth twitched, “One day later, thirty miles away. What about the direction?”
“Southeast.”
Li Mo raised his head to sense the spider on the wall.
Indeed, it was as Jing Ni described.
The couple leaned against the nearby wall without moving, without speaking or communicating.
After some time passed, suddenly a series of knocking sounds rang out.
After the sound subsided, a clear drumbeat followed.
“The weather is dry, be careful with the candle. The weather is dry, be careful with the candle…”
Jing Ni slowly opened her eyes.
“It’s past midnight.”
Li Mo chuckled softly, “The night is dark and the wind is high, it’s time to go kill.”
