Cute little doll

Three bodies were piled up in disorder, and shiny black blood was oozing out from nowhere. The blood on the ground was spreading little by little, and a pungent smell was floating in the wind...

The shopkeeper Qian was already dumbfounded. He racked his brains to figure out what was going on. There was a person's face half exposed in front of him. Wasn't that his accomplice who was secretly cooperating? It was agreed that he would just wait for his slogan to fall from the sky and subdue Xia Shang.

Now he really fell from the sky, but why did he become a few dead pigs?

Look at the kid in front of him again. No wonder he was so calm before. It turned out that everything was in his hands! But I don't know who the person who protected him secretly is? These three people are quite powerful characters. How can they be eliminated silently?

This matter can't stand thinking about it carefully. The more I think about it, the more terrible I feel that the kid in front of me is. I just heard the calm and confident "Do you want to talk about business?", and I was frightened so much that my old face turned pale.

He was not pretending to be the owner of a bank, and he didn't know martial arts. The three masters who he regarded as gods had died without saying a word. Now he felt like he had been stripped naked and boiled in water. He wanted to die, but it was just a matter of adding fuel to the fire.

"I'll give you one minute to disappear from my sight. If you're late, I'll have to talk business with you."

Xia Shang added calmly.

This simple sentence made Qian feel like he had been pardoned. Cold sweat finally came out of his pores, and he was soaked all over. He didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and ran wildly, and there were a few drops of urine on the ground he passed by.

After Qian left, a bald child jumped down from the jujube tree and landed lightly beside Xia Shang, without making any sound, as if he had no weight.

The child looked about twelve or thirteen years old, fair and tender, with delicate features like Xia Shang. He was a boy more beautiful than a woman, with a round bald head that looked like a little monk. But he was not a monk. He was wearing a tailor-made black close-fitting clothes. Two leather belts passed through his armpits and waist were used to carry hooks, daggers, darts, etc. He also had a big sword on his back that was taller than him.

If you look at this boy's appearance, you might think he was a well-behaved little book boy, but this outfit gave people a completely different feeling. Especially the huge sword on his back. There was no scabbard. The sword body was as black as ink, and there was no trace of metallic luster. It seemed like a piece of black charcoal, exuding a gloomy and murderous aura. Another thing was the width of the sword body, which was as wide as two palms side by side. The blade was not sharpened, which was very strange. It must be a very heavy killing weapon.

It was even more strange to put such a monster on the back of a handsome child. The key was that the child's steps were light, and he didn't feel any effort.

Xia Shang was both unfamiliar and familiar with this boy.

What was strange was that he still didn't know what the boy's name was, but he only knew that he had some connection with Liu Xun.

What is familiar is that he has been protecting Xia Shang in the dark for half a month. They meet every few days, but they rarely talk to each other.

How did you get to know this kid?

All this can be traced back to half a month ago.

When Xia Shang handed the waist badge given by Liu Xun to Magistrate Chai, he thought he could rest easy. But he didn't expect that the waist badge would return to Xia Shang again half a month ago.

The person who brought the tiger-head waist badge was this kid!

When they first met, Xia Shang was also deceived by his appearance and thought he was a little stupid kid. Later, he found that the hatred of this guy had long been beyond the cognition of ordinary people, and his martial arts might be stronger than Liu Xun.

Of course, this judgment was made by Qin Huairou.

It was rainy that day. When Xia Shang learned about the horror of this person, he was very nervous, thinking that the other party knew that Liu Xun's death was related to him.

The first thing the kid said at that time was: "Did the Lord give you this before he died?"

This is an unquestionable affirmative tone, which means that the kid knows that Liu Xun is dead, and this thing was given to Xia Shang by Liu Xun.

Later, I realized that the reason why the other party was so sure was all because of the waist badge.

Because the position of the Censorate is the most dangerous of all official positions in the world, the Censorate was established to do some shameful things for the emperor. Therefore, the Censors of the past have always acted in secret, offended many people, and are in extreme danger all the time.

The Hua Dynasty was established for only a hundred years, and the Censors of the Censorate have changed more than ten times, almost all of whom died in accidents. The inheritance of the Censorate position does not go through the emperor, but is directly appointed by the previous Censorate. In order to keep the position of the Censorate, the Censor will have another succession list. Once he dies due to sudden factors, he will pass on the throne according to the succession list.

But if there is a clear candidate before death, then the inheritance will be carried out according to the last wishes. The waist badge is the best proof, and the person who gets the waist badge is the designated successor.

In order to prevent the enemy from killing the seat and stealing the waist badge to replace the seat, the seat will leave nail marks on the waist badge before passing the throne.

If someone holds the waist badge and claims to be the seat in the future, if the nail prints are on the left side of the waist badge, it proves that it is real, and if the nail prints are on the right side, it proves that it is fake.

And the nail marks left by 6xun on the waist badge happen to be on the left side of the waist badge!

Prove that 6xun designated Xia Shang as the successor.

This kid knows the reason and came to find a trusted seat under the secret order of his superiors.

Xia Shang never thought about what kind of seat he wanted to be? From the moment he handed over the waist badge, he didn't want to wade into these muddy waters. But now trouble has come again. If he doesn't take it, the other party will dig deeper. What if it is found that he killed 6xun, then won't the entire Duchayuan have trouble with him?

After thinking about it, Xia Shang asked for the badge back.

Afterwards, the kid wanted Xia Shang to report back to the capital, but Xia Shang refused and asked him to go back by himself, but the kid refused. In the end, they both took a step back and the kid was temporarily responsible for Xia Shang's safety. He sent a message to the capital and waited for the next change.

A few days ago, Xia Shang kept thinking about how to get rid of the kid, because he was uncomfortable being stared at, and he was always afraid that the truth would be found out. The kid was a potential threat.

But Xia Shang didn't expect that the kid would play a role today. If it weren't for him, he didn't know if he would suffer.

The kid fell to the ground, didn't look at Xia Shang, walked to the side of the three corpses, put a bag of corpse powder in, and immediately there was a smell of burning, and the corpses were being rapidly eroded.

In such a situation, even Xia Shang couldn't help but be frightened and dared not look directly. The kid had no expression on his face and replied silently: "Killed three, one ran away."

"One ran away? Do you know their identities?"

"I am only responsible for the safety of adults, and I don't consider other things."

The kid was very straightforward. After saying this, he tiptoed and disappeared from Xia Shang's sight.
