Chapter Twenty-Four: The Assassins
Shen Lanying said with emotion: "But the most important point is the voice, although it seems that you should have practiced voice change, but your voice change technique is really not in place." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I'll tell you the truth, when you said the first thing to me, I already found out by the sound that you were an impostor. ”
Through the bright moonlight and the bright light of the lights in the distance, Shen Lanying could clearly see that the expression on the woman's face became more and more hideous.
Shen Lanying thought for a moment and said quickly: "In the afternoon, Xuan Ling once gave me a few hidden weapons for self-defense, and No, it was one of them that just injured you." I don't think you know yet, Xuan Ling is a rare weapon casting wizard in Tianquanzhuang for a hundred years, especially good at creating hidden weapons. Oh, yes, too. It's normal that you don't know about this, after all, no one in the entire Tianquan Village knows. ”
Listening to Shen Lanying's words, the female assassin's expression distorted even more.
Her acting skills, voice change skills, and intelligence gathering ability were all despised by Shen Lanying, and this woman was completely enraged.
When she said something seriously provocative, Shen Lanying actually had a fluke mentality.
At the moment, it seems that there are two possibilities for the development of events, one is that the female assassin is afraid of the hidden weapon on her body and leaves the place. The other is that the female assassin becomes angry and attacks her directly.
If it's the first, that's great, if it's the second......
Shen Lanying took a deep breath and concentrated on the movements of the woman in front of her. Anyway, she used the excuse to speak to delay time, and she had already adjusted the position of the other arrow in her sleeve.
The secret weapon that had injured the female assassin earlier was poisonous, and now the poison must have begun to spread throughout the body. Shen Lanying was sure that no matter how strong the opponent's martial arts were, in such a dim night, he was already injured, so he should not pose a great threat.
Shen Lanying was not very lucky. The female assassin seemed to have made up her mind to kill her, and with a murderous flash in her eyes, she pulled out a dagger from her waist and stabbed at Shen Lanying.
The distance between the two was less than three meters, which was just a fleeting moment for a professional killer, and Shen Lanying also activated the mechanism of the arrow in her sleeve in time.
There was a crisp sound, the sound of two metals colliding, and the arrow in her sleeve was bounced off and thrown into the distance, and the female assassin's forward momentum also stopped abruptly.
It was not the woman in front of her who stopped the hidden weapon, Shen Lanying gasped, raised her head, and found a man with a sword standing not far from the two.
"Huang Qian, why are you so careless, the hidden weapon on Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess is not a joke. If you accidentally kill you, you'll have to bother me to collect your body. ”
The woman named Huang Qian looked frightened, took a deep breath to ease her mood, clenched her dagger again, and stared at Shen Lanying with a grim expression.
The sword-wielding man approached Shen Lanying step by step: "It is worthy of Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoying, you actually plan to kill our people directly, but you don't seem to be aware that your current situation is not good." ”
The second arrow in her sleeve missed, Shen Lanying's heart had sunk to the bottom, and the man took a step forward, and she took a step back. The only bit of brain power was quickly analyzed, and the voice was familiar, it was......
I met at the door of the inn in the afternoon, the beggar!
Shen Lanying finally realized that her sense of crisis was too poor, and Xuan Ling had obviously warned her that the beggar had a problem, so she should have prepared early.
Reaching out to the device on her forearm, Xuan Ling only gave her two arrows in her sleeve, could it be that she was just ready to get a bento?
At this time, Huang Qian in the back said in a hoarse voice: "Beware of her secret weapon, it's very powerful......"
The man chuckled disdainfully: "What are you afraid of, her equipment has run out, can't you hear the sound of His Highness's heartbeat so violently?"
Shen Lanying had no way to retreat, her back was clinging to the earthen wall, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her body. A biting chill rose from the bottom of my heart, and the whole person felt as if I was in an ice cellar.
In her sixteen years of life, she had never felt death so close to her.
"You, why did you kill me......" Shen Lanying's voice could even be heard by herself.
The man sneered, "I thought that Princess Zhaoying, who was as smart as she was, would not ask such a stupid question." As he spoke, he lifted the sword in his hand and slowly approached Shen Lanying's neck, "You can't blame us, if you want to blame it, blame your old immortal father for why he gave you the name of 'Yongchao Xiangrui'." ”
Yong Dynasty auspicious?
They are the prince's people!
Shen Lanying instantly understood. Only other princes are more likely to have the name of "Xiangrui", they are afraid that Emperor Yonghui will pass on the crown prince to Jiang Yuwan!
She finally figured out where the killer came from, but she was powerless to stop the sword slowly approaching her.
Even in this dim night, the cold light on the long sword was still bright and terrifying.
A sense of fear that had never been felt before filled her mind, and she could do nothing but watch the sharp tip of her sword keep approaching her.
But a voice in her heart cried out: No, I won't die, it's not completely lifeless......
At the moment when the sword blade was about to touch Shen Lanying's skin, a plain and distant voice passed through the deep alley ancient road and slowly came from a distance.
"I don't know if it's the two of you who are in your situation. ”
Hearing that cold and distant voice, Shen Lanying was so moved that she almost burst into tears, that voice was Sikong Yan!
The cold voice came into his ears, the man decisively gave up killing Shen Lanying, and the long sword returned to his side like lightning, he suddenly turned in the direction from which the voice came, and shouted: "What person!"
The ancient road was empty, and the man turned his head and looked around vigilantly: "Who is there to make a fool of yourself, and you have the ability to come out!"
After the man finished asking, there was no response at all, and just as he was about to take the next step, a black shadow quietly passed by him, and before he could come back to his senses, Huang Qian beside him fell to the ground with a bang.
The next moment, Sikong Yan, dressed in royal blue robes, slowly walked out of the end of the alley: "We didn't make a fuss, we have always been here, but you haven't found it." ”
The man glanced at his companion who had fallen to the ground in shock, and turned to look at Sikong Yan, who was gradually walking into his line of sight, and was on guard.
At this moment, a long black sword, at an extremely tricky angle, pierced the man's waist from behind.
"Uh, ah......" The man's suppressed voice was only half loud before he was knocked unconscious by Xia Ke.
