"Wuyou Cave is busy taking care of itself right now, so how could it have the time to come to me." Ruyan chuckled, with a look of gloating on her face.

"What's going on?" Shen Xin raised his eyebrows.

"I don't know who Wuyou Cave has offended, but there is an expert targeting Wuyou Cave. He has killed the second master of the Beggars' Sect and the second and third leaders of the Thieves' Sect."

"Also, Wuyou Cave offended so many dignitaries last time, and many of them escaped. For those who didn't escape, their families also wanted to avenge them."

"Even if they were to confront Wuyou Cave head-on, they would not be enough to stop Wuyou Cave. However, they all used their own energy to target the lower levels of Wuyou Cave and block the supplies of Wuyou Cave, which also caused a lot of trouble for Wuyou Cave."

Ruyan was not present at the auction of the blood nerves in Wuyou Cave, and Shen Xin did not explain the situation to her in detail.

But with the power Ruyan has now, by collecting some information, she can roughly guess what happened.

"Besides that, the young master asked me to be on guard against the Worry-Free Cave, and I also asked Cai Jing to help in this matter."

Shen Xin nodded: "Anything else?"

"If we talk about the most recent major event, it's probably the assassination of the emperor."

"The emperor was assassinated?" Among the Four Famous Detectives, Ruyan did disguise herself and blow up Song Huizong once, but now that An Yunshan is dead, Ruyan will definitely not do that.

"On the day of the Lantern Festival, the emperor went on a private visit in disguise. Although it was called a private visit, there was no intention to hide anything. On that day, the emperor encountered an assassination attempt."

"Who is the assassin?" Shen Xin asked.

"The Xixia and Liao people joined forces."

"It's a coincidence that after the assassination failed, these assassins retreated to Wuyou Cave," Ruyan said, paused, and then looked at Shen Xin as if asking for praise: "Sir, I will let Cai Jing take the lead and ask the emperor to send troops to attack Wuyou Cave directly. What do you think?"

"That's right." Shen Xin patted Ruyan's head. He and Wuyou Cave didn't actually have much hatred. The feud between the two sides was also instigated by Shen Xin.

Moreover, during the whole process, Shen Xin did not suffer any loss, but instead gained the benefits of blood nerves.

Chapter 185 The Candidate to Replace Cai Jing

However, Shen Xin himself had no good feelings towards places like Wuyou Cave where filth and dirt were hidden.

Although Wuyou Cave did not cause him any harm, it did put him under considerable pressure.

All these things made Shen Xin think of targeting Wuyou Cave.

Of course, Shen Xin never thought about completely solving the hidden danger of Wuyou Cave.

Wuyou Cave has a complex environment and is a natural shelter for criminals. Even if Shen Xin kills the Beggars' Gang, Wuyou Tower and Daomen.

Later, new Beggars' Sect, Wuyou Tower and Daomen will rise.

But this has nothing to do with Shen Xin. He just wants those people who have grudges against him to die now!

Anyway, these people deserved to die, so Shen Xin wouldn't have any psychological burden.

"By the way, have you chosen the person I asked you to choose to replace Cai Jing?" Shen Xin asked as he sat beside the bed, dribbling the ball with one hand skillfully.

He promised Wuqing that he would help her kill Song Huizong and get rid of Cai Jing later.

Moreover, Shen Xin killed Song Huizong. A new emperor chooses new ministers. Even if Shen Xin did not kill him, Cai Jing might not be able to continue to hold power over the world.

So, prepare for this early!

"Bai Shizhong, Li Yanbang, Gao Qiu, etc. are all good candidates. Which one do you want to choose, sir?"

"Only children make choices. I want them all!" Shen Xin shook his head. Bai Shizhong and Li Yanbang were both treacherous ministers, not to mention Gao Qiu.

Shen Xin plans to control all these people. Dream training + drug control are enough to make these people obedient.

However, Shen Xin was speechless when he thought about how he controlled so many people in order to protect the An family's business and almost took control of the entire Northern Song Dynasty court.

With these conditions, he can even rebel!

But Shen Xin had no intention of becoming an emperor, but it seemed like a good idea to confer a title on himself and make himself a prince.

Shen Xin was thinking wildly, and when night fell, he went to where Bai Shizhong, Gao Qiu and others were, and used dreams to train them directly, so that these people would be loyal to him and dare not betray him.

In addition, Shen Xin also used poison as an insurance policy.

……

In a quiet and elegant courtyard.

After Shen Xin finished his work, he came here unknowingly.

The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping.

Ruyan was no longer able to fight, so Shen Xin had to go out and find food by himself.

In fact, he could just go find Dingdang and Ling'er. There was no need to worry about Dingdang, Shen Xin could easily win her over. Ling'er was a little less difficult, but not a big problem.

But compared to them, Li Shishi, whom he only caught a glimpse of briefly last time, undoubtedly aroused Shen Xin's interest more.

Yes, the small courtyard where Shen Xin is now is Li Shishi’s residence in Bian Jing.

In addition to Li Shishi, her maid and grandma, there are also imperial guards sent by Emperor Huizong of Song, and the security is very strict.

But to Shen Xin, these defenses were useless.

It didn't take him much effort to find the room where Li Shishi was.

The lights were on in the room, but Li Shishi was not resting. She was sitting in front of the dressing table, with her long black hair hanging down like a waterfall, straight and straight.

Behind her, her personal maid was combing her hair.

Not far away, Li Shishi’s grandmother sat at a round table, persuading Li Shishi earnestly.

"Shishi, you can't keep resting like this. There are so many attics and flower shops in the capital who pay a lot of money to invite you to perform. If you rest for one more day, you will earn one less day."

"Grandma tells you, don't look at the glory now, but you have to think about the future!"

"You can't go to the harem after all. When the emperor favors you, he treats you very well. But if one day you fall out of favor, how will you live then?"

"Besides, there are always unexpected events. The emperor was assassinated this time. Although God has blessed the emperor and he is fine, if something unexpected happens, what will you do in the future when you have no name or status?"

Li Shishi had her back to her grandma with a blank expression. But when she heard her grandma's last words "no name and no status", her expression didn't change much, but her heart was still stirred.

The maid behind her seemed to sense Li Shishi's emotions and stopped what she was doing.

"Grandma, the emperor said that he would make me a concubine." Li Shishi turned her head and said to her grandma.

"Appoint you as a concubine? What is your status? Even if a man says something nice, would he dare to risk the world's disapproval and appoint you as a concubine? Besides, even if he really takes you into the palace, do you think life in the palace will be easy?"

"The concubines in the harem are so cruel that they eat people without even leaving any bones..."

Before grandma could finish her words, she fell headfirst onto the table and fell asleep.

Before Li Shishi could react, the maid behind her fainted.

"Who?"

Li Shishi pretended to be calm and picked up a gold hairpin from the dressing table.

Although she was a prostitute, she also practiced some martial arts.

However, there was no need for her to embarrass herself with her martial arts skills in front of Shen Xin.

Another invisible force came from the fingers. Li Shishi was unaware of it and her acupuncture points were pressed, making her unable to move. At this time, Shen Xin appeared in the room.

"Don't scream. You don't want this kind of thing to reach the ears of Emperor Huizong of Song!" Shen Xin said with a smile, and then untied Li Shishi's acupoints.

"It's you!"

"You recognize me?" Shen Xin was a little surprised.

"Ruyi Tower, right?" Li Shishi gave her answer.

"I didn't expect Miss Shishi would notice me. It's such an honor." Shen Xin bowed and smiled.

......0 .......

"Given your appearance, it would be hard for Shishi to forget you, but..."

"But you didn't expect that someone like me would actually do such a thing as stealing jade and stealing fragrance, right?"

Li Shishi nodded, and then expressed her confidence: "Although the sound I made just now was not loud, the commander of the imperial guards who is responsible for guarding me is a master. He will bring people here soon. Don't make mistakes, young master."

"Guess why I can sneak in here?" Shen Xin asked with a smile.

Li Shishi's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect that she failed to scare Shen Xin.

Moreover, Shen Xin's words also greatly reduced her confidence.

However, Li Shishi was just trying to bluff Shen Xin when she said there was a master, but those imperial guards outside were definitely not there to do nothing.

Soon, the commander of the imperial guards came to Li Shishi's room with a dozen people.

"Miss Shishi, what happened?"

Shen Xin looked at Li Shishi leisurely, as if he was not afraid at all that she would tell others about what happened here.

Seeing Shen Xin like this, Li Shishi hesitated for a moment and replied, "Just now a bird flew over and made some noise. I thought some thief had sneaked in."

When talking about the word "thief", Li Shishi deliberately emphasized it.

"I see. I'll take my leave now. Miss Shishi, if you have anything to say, just let me know." The commander of the imperial guards quickly led his men to retreat.

But Shen Xin spread his consciousness and knew that the commander of the imperial guards had not gone far, but had only retreated a distance, so he ordered his men to continue retreating, while he himself went and returned to the corpse.

Chapter 186: Li Shishi's Secret Weapon

Li Shishi just mentioned the word "thief" and emphasized the pronunciation on purpose.

She didn't mean to tip off the outsiders in a subtle way, she just wanted to use this opportunity to mock Shen Xin.

But the commander outside obviously misunderstood Li Shishi's meaning, but by accident he got the upper hand. After all, there really was an uninvited guest in Li Shishi's room!

The commander sneaked to the door of Li Shishi's room, wanting to rush in to save her.

Li Shishi didn't notice it, but Shen Xin saw it clearly.

He raised his left hand, extended his little finger, and Shaoze sword energy burst out from his fingertips.

The sword energy of Shao Ze's sword is exquisite, coming and going suddenly, with the most changes and the least movement.

The sword energy flew towards the door, silently poked a small hole in the wooden door, and then landed on the commander's forehead.

A red dot the size of a fingerprint appeared between the commander's eyebrows. Without waiting for the blood to flow out, the whole person fell backwards.
