Chapter 31: Hunting White Thorns, the legendary assassin Nie Sanniang
A sword, like lightning from the sky.
In an instant, the sky and the earth were white.
Fang Yue, who had just raised his hand and was about to call the assassins to make a move, was stunned.
Ren Que, who wanted to block Bi Fang's blow for the two companions, was stunned.
Zhang Zhiheng and Li Zhining, who were about to try their last strength to meet the enemy, were also stunned.
This piece of whiteness seems to have lasted for a long time.
But it seems to be only for a moment.
All the laws of time and space, under this sword, seem to have been completely broken.
When the white light dissipated, everyone saw only a bright red.
It was Bi Fang's blood.
Bi Fang, who had previously taken the advantage, was stabbed in the left arm by this sudden sword.
If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have died on the spot at this moment.
Bi Fang, who had come to his senses, let out a strange scream, and after throwing a ball of flame towards the person who had suddenly attacked him just now. instantly turned into a prototype, flapped his wings and flew out of the Fulin Inn.
Ren Que, who was robbed of the "limelight", still maintained the posture of punching before, and looked at the proprietress who was wiping the blood stains on the sword body in a daze, unable to say a word for a long time.
"Good swordsmanship!"
A burst of clapping and praise sounded at the same time, and it turned out that Fang Yue was the first to regain her senses.
Nie Sanniang returned the sword into the sheath, reached out and gently stroked the sword body, and muttered, "How long has it been since I used a sword......
Fang Yue smiled slightly, and took over the conversation: "It's not long, just ten years." β
Nie Sanniang smiled bitterly and turned her head to look at Fang Yue: "Your Excellency hasn't made a move, just because you want to try me, right?"
Of course, Fang Yue would not tell the truth that he had no combat ability, he only showed an unfathomable expression, nodded lightly, and replied: "I have heard that hunting white has a spectacle that changes the color of heaven and earth, and when I see it today, it is worthy of its reputation." It's a pity that the world never thought that the legendary assassin Yinniang, who had been painstakingly tracked down for many years, would still be in this Linjiang City and become the proprietress of an inn. β
After Nie Sanniang put the accessories into the dark compartment under the floor tiles, she turned her head to look at Qi Jingde, who was still unconscious, and her eyes were full of tenderness: "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have dreamed of being an ordinary woman." If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have risked my identity being exposed. β
Fang Yue didn't know how to answer for a while, so she had to pretend to read the poem: "What is the situation in the world? β
I didn't think that after listening to what Fang Yue said, Nie Sanniang nodded thoughtfully and repeated in a low voice: "What is the situation in the world? Good poetry, good poetry!"
There was a moment of silence.
Fang Yue looked back at Zhang Zhiheng and Li Zhining, and after seeing that the two of them were fine, she gave them a look, and then looked back at Nie Sanniang, whose real identity was Tingtao's assassin Yin Niang, and asked, "Why did you steal the staff?"
Nie Sanniang smiled slightly: "I want to say that the person who wanted to steal the staff at that time was not me, do you believe it?"
Fang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Letter." β
Nie Sanniang straightened the hair that was scattered on her sideburns, raised her head and sighed: "When I saw that the leader intended to assassinate the general, I thought I would retreat. As an assassin, I just want to beg for food, and I don't want to hurt the foundation of my Wei State. However, the leader insisted on snatching the staff of the forest, and simply thought about retiring from the rivers and lakes after completing the order. It's a pity that what I didn't expect was that Lin Xun, who was left behind by him to take care of me, actually tried in vain to snatch the staff while I was seriously injured. In desperation, I had no choice but to kill him. β
"Then why don't you return the staff to your leader at the right time?" Fang Yue was a little puzzled.
"How can you pay it back?" Nie Sanniang smiled bitterly, "I finally untied the rain talisman he planted on me, just to find a chance to fly away." But if I go back after I am seriously injured, and he will not find out about my own hands and feet, but if I leave the staff where it is, I don't know who will find it, and I will be the one he wants in the end. Without doing anything, I took the staff and fled. β
"And so it should be. Fang Yue nodded.
"Later, I found Mr. Mu and spent almost all of my savings and asked Mr. Mu to change my face for me. Thinking of the great hidden in the city, he simply returned to this riverside city. Saying that, Nie Sanniang turned her head and looked at Qi Jingde, who was still lying on the table, tenderly, "When I came back, I met him." β
"It must be another touching love story. β
"It's not what you think. Nie Sanniang shook her head with a smile, "If you want to say that this fool is too, he is almost twenty-five or sixteen people, and there is no girl or anything." As soon as I met me, who happened to be quite old and unmarried, he haunted me like a madman. Originally, I didn't have a good impression of him. It's just that I couldn't bear his soft grinding and hard bubbles, so I finally relented and agreed to the request to have a meal with him. Unexpectedly, this is the first time they went out together, and they met robbers. β
"Oh, then what's next is a story of a hero saving beauty?" Fang Yue laughed.
"Just him?" Nie Sanniang said with a smile, "What kind of hero is it? If I hadn't killed the robbers after seeing him faint, his life would have been lost. β
"What about later?" This time it was Li Zhining who spoke. It seems that no matter what status they have, all girls are very interested in gossip.
"Later, ah......" Nie Sanniang raised her head, as if she was recalling something, "I don't remember exactly what happened later." Anyway, in such a daze, the two of us got married, smashed the pot and sold the iron plate to get off this inn, and then ten years passed. β
"Then you must be very happy in the past ten years. Li Zhining put his hands on his cheeks, propped his elbows on his knees, and continued to ask.
Nie Sanniang nodded and smiled: "Of course I'm very happy." This fool always thinks that I don't know anything, and wants to do everything for me. Ten years later, I felt more like his daughter. β
"Wow, it's also a blessing for my aunt to meet Uncle Qi. After Li Zhining finished speaking, the other three male compatriots in the eighteenth group also nodded with deep sympathy.
"Okay, let's stop talking about that. Nie Sanniang really didn't want to continue to reminisce about the past, straightened her face, and looked at the four of them, "You shouldn't be the descendants of the old people of the Great Chu that you said before, right? If you hadn't secretly given the signal before, those who have been hiding around here for many days should have already taken action." β
Fang Yue smiled slightly: "Yes and no." β
Nie Sanniang frowned: "How do you say this?"
Fang Yue smiled and pointed at Li Zhining with her finger: "What about the three of us, it's really not." But this one is a real princess of Da Chu. β
When Nie Sanniang heard this, her pupils shrank suddenly: "I heard that Princess Da Chu entered the Academy of All Souls this yearβcould it be that you are?!"
Fang Yue got up, straightened her clothes, and respectfully bowed at Nie Sanniang.
"Preacher Fang Yue, with the eighteen groups of disciples of the Ten Thousand Souls Academy, greeted the senior of Yinniang. β
