Chapter 1517 Xiao Yan takes the bait

It has been more than twenty days since Xiao Xun'er arrived at the Xiao family.

It has been more than a month since Lin Chaoci overthrew his peers.

Moon stars are rare.

The evening breeze is slightly cool.

Tonight, the only sounds are the chirping of cicadas and frogs.

A fish that couldn't see the shape clearly, foolishly and hopelessly took the hook.

……

……

……

"To say that he is evil is an insult to him."

"After all, he has gone through nine years of compulsory education, so he still has some kindness in him!"

"There are many people who care about your well-being."

“He is the only one who dares to practice.”

"To call him kind... is an insult to the word."

"Sneaky, sneaky, isn't it shameful to do such a good deed?"

"Entering a boudoir at night can easily ruin a person's reputation."

"If you use your hands all over the place, you will lose your integrity."

"You can't do all the evil, and you can't do all the good!"

"If you cherish your body while doing great things, or forget your life when you see small gains, you are not a hero!"

midnight.

Lin Chaoci, who had slept for more than an hour, slowly opened his eyes.

A moment of silence, followed by a soft sigh.

There was indeed very little movement on the roof.

But it couldn't be hidden from his ears.

Flying over eaves and walking on walls also requires skills, and this is exactly what Xiao Yan lacks.

He stood up and picked up the glass of water on the bedside table.

No lights on.

Because he can see at night.

He unscrewed the lid of the cup, drank two sips of water, and then thought silently: "It seems that the three years of precipitation in the original book may not be a bad thing. No matter how high the talent is, without the support of the heart, it is just a castle in the air. It will fall down at a push. The difficulty has never been the process of starting over, but the courage to start over and whether he dares to start over... Tsk, but then again, he is still my cousin in terms of kinship. The Xiao family has raised me for so many years, and they don’t owe me anything. Although he is a little stupid and does not have the awe of the world that a normal time traveler has, nor does he have the vigilance of the weak against the strong, this relationship still makes it difficult for me to stand idly by, or in other words, it makes it easy for me to have unclear thoughts..."

Thinking of this, Lin Chaoci closed the lid of the cup.

Place the glass of water on the bedside table.

The figure flashed.

The window was blown open by the breeze.

It was closed again by the strong wind from the waving sleeves.

It’s just that no one knows all this.

Next door, the maid Xiaodie, who was sleeping soundly at the moment, had no idea.

Walking under the moon, at this moment, Xiao Yan, who was walking on bricks and tiles, didn't know either.

For Xiao Yan.

He had no idea he was being followed.

Although he felt a momentary palpitation when he stepped on the bricks and tiles on the roof of Lin Chaoci's house, after carefully confirming that he did not make any sound, Xiao Yan attributed the reason to the psychological trauma he suffered from Lin Chaoci a few days ago, and did not think too much about it.

The small figure rises and falls several times.

We came from the core area of ​​the Xiao family to the edge of the Xiao family's inner area.

Xiao Xun'er's residence is already visible.

Worth to talk about.

The arrangement of the Xiao family's houses follows certain rules, and status determines the distance and interior and exterior.

The most central area.

It is also the middle position.

It belongs to the patriarch and his immediate family members.

For example, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and Xiao Yan all lived in this courtyard with Xiao Zhan.

If Xiao Yan's mother was not dead yet.

Live here too.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan's mother passed away when Xiao Yan was three years old.

Lin Chaoci wanted to make a good relationship.

But he was only three years old at that time and did not have the ability to make good connections.

What's more, he is new here.

The so-called ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.

If he revealed his ability to resurrect people, it would not just be a matter of whether he possessed the treasure or not, but a child carrying gold in a busy city would be courting death. He did not dare to gamble on the good and evil in human nature.

So, I had to give up.

Adjacent to them, also built around the residence of the patriarch and his family, are the courtyards of the first elder, the second elder, and the third elder. The rules are the same, and they live there with their families.

One more circle outward.

Someone like Lin Chaoci.

He has close ties with the clan leader, the first elder, the second elder, and the third elder, so he can live here.

Further out is the edge of the inner area where Xiao Xun'er and others live.

The houses in this area can only provide proof of identity to the people living here, proving that they are descendants of the Xiao family.

Regardless of whether the branch you are in is declining or not.

As long as it's not extinct.

There is still a place for you in the Xiao family.

As for the area outside the marginal area, it is the outer area, which is where some servants live. Although the Xiao family is not a wealthy family, it is not the kind of small family where all affairs are done by the family members themselves. They still have the basic living facilities.

For example, a laundry woman.

For example, a shopping boy.

For example, the front kitchen cook.

A small stove is a small stove, and a big stove is a big stove.

Xiao family members like Lin Chaoci, Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, Xiao Ding, Xiao Ning, etc. would indeed send maids or servants to the back kitchen to get meals, but the back kitchen was just a small stove that was exclusively for the Xiao family members. These maids and servants also needed to eat. If they met a good master like Lin Chaoci, they would not have to go through all that trouble. They could just get more food from the small stove and bring their daily meals with them to solve the problem. But servants like those who could not meet a good master could only eat from the big pot with other servants of the family and those ordinary servants who were not even servants of the family.

This big pot of rice refers to the front hall.

It's not so easy to satisfy thousands of mouths.

Don't think this data is exaggerated, it's impossible.

In fact, this data is already very conservative.

The population of Wutan City is over one million. As one of the three major families in Wutan City, the Xiao family has a population of over one million. Excluding those who have Xiao family blood flowing in their bodies but are not included in the Xiao family tree, for example, if a daughter of the Xiao family gets married, no matter how many children she gives birth to, no matter how good the relationship between her children and the Xiao family is, she will be recognized by the Xiao family as a part of the Xiao family, but her children will not be recognized by the Xiao family. However, if an accident really happens to the Xiao family and the daughter of the Xiao family who returns to her parents' home is accidentally involved, although her children are outsiders, they will also help their mother, that is, the daughter of the Xiao family, to save the Xiao family together. This is also the basis for the Xiao family to have the ability to coerce many small families below. To put it bluntly, it is a matter of prosperity and adversity together.

Anyway, let’s get back to the topic.

Only talking about those members who are listed in the Xiao family tree.

The number has exceeded eight thousand.

Although there is no clear data on the number of wives who married out, it would not be as high as 3,000. After all, in order to keep the bloodline pure, generally speaking, the women outside the fifth degree of mourning can be absorbed internally.

Therefore, even if we estimate based on the impossible data above, the population of the Xiao family is conservatively estimated to be over 5,000.

Although among these five thousand people.

Nine out of ten people are not qualified to stay in the Xiao family to practice because they have not reached the seventh level of fighting spirit when they are over fifteen years old. Most of them are sent out to run certain shops or take up certain positions. For example, the patrol team in Xiaojiafang City is a good place. In short, they are arranged to work, but there is no future.

But there are still hundreds of people left.

And, count the children.

That is, those Xiao family members who are under the age of fifteen.

The number of people participating in daily activities in the inner area of ​​Xiaojia can exceed a thousand.

In addition, those members of the Xiao family who were not able to stay in the inner district because of various reasons in their youth, such as laziness or slackness, and thus failed to meet the standards for the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of fifteen, and were therefore arranged to work, although they were arranged to work, their homes are still with the Xiao family. It just means that they are not qualified to continue living in the inner district, nor are they eligible to enjoy those welfare benefits, but it does not mean that they are not even qualified to live in the outer district.

And these three to four thousand adults.

Once married.

As soon as the young girls and young wives enter the house.

It’s no problem to double the number of our people.

After all, girls who are outside the fifth degree of mourning are a minority.

In addition, there are also those who marry outside.

There is really not much share that can be digested internally.

At most, it's only three or four hundred.

The remaining three or four thousand still needs to be married from outside.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Not to mention this is an extraordinary world.

A capable person can have no problem marrying a hundred women.

There are about eight or nine thousand people in the outer district.

There are more than a thousand in the inner area.

Are thousands of servants really a lot?

Therefore, the overall population estimate of the Xiao family, not counting the farms outside the city and foreigners with blood ties, only the total number of people that the Xiao family can mobilize to prevent a counterattack when facing a surprise attack is more than 15,000, and they are heading for 20,000.

Therefore, Xiao Yan wanted to find Xiao Xun'er.

You must pass through the area where the first elder, the second elder, and the third elder live, as well as the area where Lin Chaoci, Xiao Mei, Xiao Jing and others live, before you can reach Xiao Xun'er's residence.

Say whether it is far or not, say whether it is close or not.

All in all, it took a quarter of an hour.

With Xiao Yan's speed, he finally arrived.

It can be seen from Xiao Yan's actions that he was still relatively cautious. He did not rush into Xiao Xun'er's courtyard to treat her, but stayed on the eaves of another house near Xiao Xun'er's residence, knelt on one knee, and crawled to reduce his presence. By the way, he observed the courtyard not far away.

Until ten minutes later.

Xiao Yan then took further action plan.

Jump up.

It fell silently into Xiao Xun'er's courtyard.

Even though he thought it was silent.

In fact, the moment he stopped and chose to observe, he had been spotted by Ling Ying. If his identity was not among the type of fish that Xiao Xun'er wanted to catch, he would have been pierced through the head by a burst of fighting spirit and died on the spot.

Under the nose of a Dou Huang.

Don’t mention that Xiao Yan is only at the sixth level of fighting spirit.

Even if Xiao Yan is a six-star fighter.

Even if Xiao Yan is a six-star fighter.

Even the great fighting masters, fighting spirits, fighting kings, and even the fighting emperor himself.

It is impossible to hide it from this Dou Huang.

Especially since Ling Ying is the Dou Huang of Dark Dou Qi.

Dark Dou Qi, full name Shadow Dou Qi.

A congenital master assassin.

In the history of the Dou Qi Continent, the person who established Dark Dou Qi as the optimal solution for assassins was a third-level Dou Zun who practiced Dark Dou Qi and successfully assassinated a one-star Dou Sheng at that time.

Maybe Ling Ying is not very good at protecting others.

Because he is not a bodyguard.

But it is easy to stop the assassin.

Because those killers were using the same tactics that he had worn out.

To put it bluntly, he doesn't need to prevent the assassination plan. He just needs to follow his own assassination ideas and he can catch the killer.

It's another way of taking precautions.

Because of this, let alone Xiao Yan, even if the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, the royal ancestor of the Jia Ma Empire Jia Xingtian, the current leader of the Yun Lan Sect Yun Yun, the Snake Queen Medusa and even the Dou Zong Yun Shan came, they would not be able to hide it from Ling Ying. At most, Ling Ying would not be able to hide it from these people, and it would be impossible for them to ambushed them.

This way.

Xiao Yan's infiltration suddenly turned into a joke.

Although Xiao Yan himself doesn't know this yet.

Of course.

The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind!

There is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world!

Just as Xiao Yan didn't know that he was being monitored by Ling Ying.

Ling Ying didn't know that he was being watched.

Even though that person was right behind him, he knew nothing about it at this moment.

This is the technique of hiding oneself passed down by the Inner Demon Thunder Emperor.

No.

It shouldn't even be called a skill.

It should be called supernatural power.

Although the name of this magical power is very ordinary, it is called the Hiding Technique, which is not even a pretense. Lin Chaoci has sufficient reason to suspect that the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor is a bad namer, but the upper limit of this magical power is indeed very high, because it runs counter to the concept of ordinary hiding techniques. Ordinary hiding techniques focus on blending into the surrounding environment, while the hiding technique created by the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor relies on the opponent's psychological loopholes, reducing the opponent's attention and observation of the surrounding environment, so as to achieve the effect of invisibility in the opponent's eyes.

To put it bluntly, you can see that they are not opponents.

If we expand the scope a little bit more.

If you don't fall into the trap, you won't be deceived.

This is because people's attention cannot be evenly distributed, just like people can turn their heads left and right but cannot have a full view of the front, back, left, right, up and down at the same time. Even if one has become a Dou Huang and has the divine sense to detect the surroundings, that is, to release soul power to scan the surroundings, but in front of the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor's hiding technique that can transform at the same frequency, it is still futile. This is where the advantage lies.

It's almost like special operations.

The former is to cover itself with mud, or even soak it in the mud, and make a camouflage layer on it to ensure that it will not be discovered during radar scanning and thermal imaging detection, but it is also equivalent to being fixed in this location. As long as you dare to move, the radar will immediately detect the damaged camouflage and directly lock your position.

The latter is equivalent to an advanced stealth fighter, which is covered with invisible paint. When the radar detection wave touches this layer of invisible paint, it will vibrate at the same frequency, so that it is almost like detecting the air, with no feedback. Although it can be seen by the naked eye and is not camouflaged, it does not exist in the radar detection.

So, a funny scene happened.

Xiao Yan carefully pushed open the window and entered the house through the gap.

Ling Ying stood in the shadow under the courtyard wall and sighed silently.

Lin Chaoci sat on the courtyard wall, looking at everything with interest.

Stroking the double ring in his hand.

His eyes flashed.

The brand is activated.

He immediately gained visibility of the poisonous insect that had flown into Xiao Xun'er's room early on.

It's a live broadcast.

Ling Ying’s approach is much simpler.

Release the divine thought.

Enveloping the courtyard.

What is Xiao Yan doing in there?

He saw it clearly.

Even though it's just a black and white perspective.

This is how mental power is detected.

Of course, Xiao Xun'er has special means to protect herself, so she doesn't have to worry about Ling Ying seeing through her clothes, and her privacy is guaranteed.

All I can say is that you have a plan and I have a ladder.

It won’t affect everyone watching the live broadcast.

Watch this...

There is a live broadcast about Xiao Yan, the big fish, being hooked!
