Chapter 239: The Assassin
After lunch, Hua Liyue stayed alone in the tent to rest. She was half-leaning on the head of the bed www.biquge.info her fingers tapping lightly on the bed. Those who are familiar with her know that she will only subconsciously do this action when she thinks about some difficult problem.
She didn't notice that in an inconspicuous corner, a sharp blade that shimmered with cold light gently sliced open the tent, and a cyan bamboo pipe cautiously reached through the gap.
Immediately, a thin white smoke erupted from the bamboo pipe. The white smoke soon dissipated in the tent, and an almost negligible scent quietly emerged in the tent.
This fragrance has a faint sweetness, which is very similar to the fat powder fragrance on a woman's body, so it is easy to be overlooked.
It didn't take long for Hua Liyue to start yawning constantly. She rubbed her eyes vigorously with the back of her hand, and after a while, her eyes were misty.
After yawning several times in a row, Hua Liyue seemed to be knocked down by this sudden sleepiness.
She lazily spread her hair in a bun, stroked the small pendant between her ears, and then lay down softly. After a while, her slight snoring sounded in the silent tent, apparently asleep.
The curtain was lifted silently, and a man dressed in the costume of a soldier of the Northern Underworld hid the guards outside and swaggered in.
When he entered the tent, he immediately covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and his eyes quickly scanned around.
As he wished, there was no one else in the tent except for a woman who slept soundly with a porcelain pillow on her bed and a thin blanket on her waist and abdomen.
The corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a smug smile.
The man tiptoed close to the bed, but saw that the woman on the couch did not seem to be at peace even in her sleep.
Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, casting a semicircular shadow on her dark lower eyelids.
The man's eyes slid fiercely over Hua Lianyue's thin eyelids, and his master said that he wanted a pair of her eyes, and he couldn't cut off her ears.
The man slowly raised the sword in his hand, and the shining tip of the sword was aimed at the eyes that were still closed, as long as he slashed lightly, the task of his trip was successfully completed.
He even reached out to cover Hua Liyue's mouth and nose, lest she would scream and expose his whereabouts after the sharp pain of her eyes being gouged out.
It's a pity that his plan was perfect, but he finally paid the price for despising his opponent.
In the middle of the gesture, he was so surprised that the sword in his hand became heavier and heavier, making him almost unable to grasp it. The vision also began to blur, and the woman in front of him, who was lying like a lamb to be slaughtered, actually appeared a strange and illusory ghost, and it seemed that several faces were shaking in front of his eyes at the same time.
How could the medicine given by the master be so powerful, and he seemed to have been tricked! The man shook his head vigorously, trying to sober up his already heavy head.
He couldn't hesitate any longer, or he would be the one who was unlucky.
The man's breathing gradually increased, and he grasped the hilt of the sword with trembling hands, and the tip of the sword was pointed at the illusory figure of the person on the couch, and swung it out vigorously.
No splashes of warm blood, no screams. The man shook his drowsy head vigorously and looked at the bed suspiciously, but was shocked to find that the person on the couch had slowly opened his eyes and smiled at him.
It's a pity that this smile like spring is as terrifying as a ghost in the eyes of men.
It's a pity that before he could react, Hua Liyue had unceremoniously stabbed out the long sword that had been hidden under the thin blanket, and the thin blade turned into a cold light and instantly slashed through the man's eyes.
Because of the effects of the drug, the man's reaction has become extremely sluggish. After half a ring, he felt his body gradually become weak, and streams of warm warmth continued to gush out of his abdomen.
The man realized that his body was out of control.
He fell to his knees weakly, and with all his strength, he reached out and wiped it on his abdomen with difficulty, and then moved his hand to his eyes with trembling. He was shocked to find that there was a large patch of piercing scarlet on the palm of his hand, and it turned out that the warm current was the blood flowing from his body.
How could this be, and why was it himself who was injured? The man's sluggish brain almost lost the ability to think, and he would never get an answer to the question.
Hua Lianyue had already turned over neatly and sat up from the bed, and she unceremoniously pulled out her sword.
The man knelt two steps away from her bed, and the moment Hua Lianyue pulled out the sword, blood gushed out from the wound, and he fell on his back with a pop.
After a few violent convulsions of his body, he immediately lost his life.
The sound of the man falling to the ground was not loud, but it made Hua Liyue's eyes squint in fright. She slowly stood up and took a step forward, the blood on the man's body meandering out like a stream, and soon pooled into a puddle under the corpse.
"Hmph, I knew that Wu Luolan wouldn't leave so obediently, I didn't expect her to be so downtrodden, and she still wanted to trouble me!" After seeing the man's face clearly, Hua Lianyue breathed a sigh of relief, and had to sigh like this.
Although he was wearing the clothes of a Northern Underworld soldier, Hua Lianyue recognized him at a glance as Wu Luolan's henchman guard. Because he once followed Wu Luolan to infiltrate Eastern Qin, he was also one of the accomplices who kidnapped Hua Liyue.
Hua Lianyue raised her eyebrows, touched the hollow pendant that was already a lot lighter in her ear, and muttered fearfully: "Fortunately, Xiaoshuang has scavenged a lot of life-saving treasures from Tang Qi, otherwise it would be really tricky today." ”
It turned out that after noticing that someone was secretly casting ecstasy in his tent, Hua Lianyue took out the core of the earring quietly and released the contents of the earring.
This pair of earrings is from the Tang Gate, and how domineering the things inside are, you don't need to think about it to know. It is also thanks to Hua Lianyue's special physique, and she is a freak who is invincible to all poisons, so she will have immunity to Tangmen's products.
In fact, Xiaoshuang gave her a lot of such things, and on the day of her captivity, in addition to this pair of earrings, there was actually a hairpin that was secretly poisonous.
It's a pity that the hairpin was lost in the chaos, and only this pair of earrings remained by her side.
This is the last thing that can save her life, Hua Lianyue didn't dare to be careless, she has been carrying it with her like this, and it will come in handy today.
Speaking of which, this hapless assassin was also a good kung fu to get close to her bed. If you are an ordinary person, you basically smell it and fall down.
Hua Liyue frowned, and used the tip of her sword to cut open the corpse's coat, getting out all his belongings. She was looking through these objects carefully, but she heard the sound of small footsteps outside the tent, listening to this familiar voice, it should be Xiaoxiao has returned.
Hua Lianyue immediately raised her voice and said, "Xiaoxiao, stop! Don't come in yet." ”
Although Xiaoxiao heard Hua Lianyue's shout, she also smelled a strong bloody smell and floated out of the tent.
Xiaoxiao was shocked, knowing that there must have been an accident inside. Without thinking about it, she lifted the curtain and strode in.
After taking a step, she rolled her eyes and fell limply. Fortunately, Hua Lianyue was prepared, and reached out in time to catch her soft body, so that she didn't let her face have a close contact with the ground.
Hua Lianyue carefully put her body away, then looked at her closed eyes, and shook her head with a wry smile: "What a stupid girl with dead eyes!"
Unfortunately, after lunch, because of a new round of soldiers, Zhang Yuanyang did not dare to swagger as he did two days ago, so as not to arouse their suspicion, so he and his companions hid elsewhere.
Originally, Xiaoxiao was asked to report the news, but now even Xiaoxiao has been overturned, and Hua Lianyue will not be able to contact Zhang Yuanyang for a while to discuss the next step.
Now there is an extra corpse in the tent for no reason, and Zhang Yuanyang can't be found to help get it, so it is destined to be discovered by those Northern Underworld.
Hua Lianyue pondered for a moment, then simply hid her sword, picked up the sword that the assassin had dropped on the ground, and inserted it into the wound on the corpse.
The sword she used was specially left for her by Zhang Yuanyang for self-defense, and if Yu Yuan found out, she would definitely guess that there was a helper hidden by her side.
After all, Hua Lianyue has done a quick catch, and destroying suspicious evidence is as easy as a game for her. It's just that in the past, she had to find evidence from the clues to find the murderer.
When she arrived on the battlefield where human life was like a mustard, she hid evidence and hid the identity of her murderer.
After doing all this, Hua Lianyue covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, made a panicked gesture, and then lifted the curtain open.
She ran out like a frightened rabbit, and of course, was unexpectedly stopped by the soldiers outside. The soldiers also smelled the growing smell of blood, but they were not as sharp as Xiaoxiao.
After all, this is an army that has been through several major battles, and the smell of blood is the smell that has been with them for the longest time, and they are almost immune.
A few spears stood in front of Hua Lianyue, and the leading soldier said unceremoniously: "Madam, if you are injured by mistake, please return to the tent!"
"Are you still afraid of accidental injury?" Hua Lianyue grabbed the gun in front of her tightly with both hands, with an angry face, and shouted coldly: "There are assassins in my tent, and I almost can't even save my life, what are you afraid of!"
"Assassin, what assassin?" the soldier looked stunned, apparently taken aback.
Hua Lianyue unceremoniously poked his chest with her index finger and said sharply: "I'm going to ask you about this, he is wearing the same clothes as you." What about you three princes, take me to him, and I'll ask him what he means.
If you want my life, a knife is all you need. I can do it on my own without him doing it. He sneakily got an assassin to assassinate me, did he want me to die for no reason?"
The soldiers were confused, and the leader was the first to react. He arched his hand and said, "Madame, don't worry, I'll take a look first!"
He didn't believe Hua Liyue's words, since he was an assassin, there would definitely be a fight. They were guarding outside, only a dozen paces away, and it was impossible not to notice the slightest sound.
Hua Lianyue sneered and said, "Go and see! She spun around and quickly stepped aside.
"You, you, and you, come in with me. ”
Seeing several people entering the tent unsuspectingly, Hua Liyue sneered again and again in the back. Sure enough, as she expected, after a few moments, there was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Hua Lianyue exclaimed, "Oh no, oh no, I forgot to tell them that the tent was full of smoke from the assassin!"
"Madam!" The guards who stayed outside were originally very nervous by these muffled sounds, and after listening to Hua Liyue's words, they all smiled bitterly.
One of them gritted his teeth and said, "Madame can forget such a big thing, but it's really a noble person who forgets things!"
Hua Lianyue rolled her eyes and said angrily: "I just went through an assassination attempt, and I finally escaped death." What's so strange about panicking and forgetting some small things. Can you always be awake when you go to war?"
Although these words are a bit strong, they have nothing to say.
It's just that Hua Lianyue has already made it clear that it is full of smoke, and they don't dare to rush in. Fortunately, their responsibility is only to guard Hua Lianyue, and now that I am in front of me, I am not afraid of what tricks she will play in secret.
So the eldest of the remaining people said to his companions: "You should quickly report this matter to the third prince!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that the young soldier quickly ran in the direction of Yu Yuan's Chinese army tent, Hua Lianyue hooked her lips and showed a sneer.
The special system of the Tang Gate is too domineering, and it will take a while to disperse. After tossing back and forth like this, the remaining smell in the tent should be almost gone. At that time, probably no one could tell that there were actually two smells of smoke inside.
Yu Yuan really came quickly, and when he heard that Hua Liyue had been assassinated, he was surprised and immediately thought of whose masterpiece it was.
Speaking of which, although he is not interested in women, he knows all about Ullolan's temperament. Probably she is also the only woman in this world who has seriously studied and pleased, and there is no one.
Although it has nothing to do with love, it is just a simple use, but it has also left an indelible memory in his heart.
Sure enough, he was not disappointed, the face of the corpse on the ground was very familiar to him, and he was one of Ullolan's henchmen.
It is said that this person's kung fu is good, and like Aqing, he used to be the personal entourage of the King of Great Xia, and later he was given to Ulolan to become a personal guard.
Because of this special identity and Wu Luolan's trust, this person is not very respectful to Shang Yuyuan.
It's not strange that Wu Luolan sent him out to assassinate Hua Lianyue, the strange thing is that such a person, even if the assassination misses, why would he die miserably here?
Could it be that Hua Liyue was not as harmless and quiet as it seemed on the surface? Thinking of this, his eyes immediately darkened.
Yu Yuan hated this feeling of not being in control the most, and he finally chose to give up Ulolan, in fact, because he had been together for so long, no matter how well he knew Ulolan, he still couldn't control her.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with Wu Luolan's prominent identity and arrogant temperament.
For example, now, he guessed that Wu Luolan would not leave willingly, and would always have to cause some trouble for himself to relieve his anger. So he sent a personal guard to Ah Xi and replaced the guards for Hua Lianyue. Of course, there are other initiatives.
Unexpectedly, such a situation still occurred despite all precautions.
Hua Lianyue saw that his expression was unpredictable, so she snorted coldly and said, "Third Prince, don't you want to explain a thing or two about this situation.......?"
Yu Yuan suddenly smiled: "Madame, doesn't she have a bad memory?" Then I will reluctantly remind Madame." The man in front of him ......."
He squatted down, turned the corpse's face in the direction where Hua Lianyue was standing, and said calmly: "Madame can see clearly, this assassin invited Madame from Eastern Qin a few days ago with Princess Wuluolan. Madame has been with them for so many days, she can't forget so quickly that she thinks he is my person, right?"
Hua Lianyue couldn't help but froze when she heard this, how could she forget this stubble?Yu Yuan was so shrewd, how could she not guess that she actually recognized the origin of this assassin.
Hua Lianyue touched her nose a little aggrieved, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.
