Chapter 5: The Glass Lock (5)

According to my experience after reading Senior Sister Jiu's book, killers are actually a dangerous profession, and killing people is also a technical job.

Those killers live on the tip of a knife every day, walking cautiously on the blade, and if they are not careful, they will fall, hurt their hands or legs, or even lose their lives. Perhaps good fortune gets the task of killing someone safe and sound, but when you run up to that person and stab him and are about to leave, you find that he is not dead and still lying on the ground and snorting, then you have to turn back and stab him again. Maybe just when you're thinking about whether to cut your neck and die faster or just stab you quickly, there are already guards outside the door who have surrounded the room, and then, there is no more.

Of course, this is what most killers have to face. But for Su Yue, before she entered the Ming Hall at the age of twelve, she had to face much more cruel than these.

The interior of the Bright Moon Pavilion is divided into a secret door and a bright hall. Most of the girls in the secret door are girls over the age of seven and under the age of twelve, and their daily task is to identify all kinds of weapons and hidden weapons, and learn how to use them in order to kill people with one hit.

In less than two months, a one-on-one competition will be held, and if you win, you can continue to live, and if you lose, you will lose your life and be thrown into a mass grave with a straw mat. Therefore, whenever the game is over, there will be many more children's corpses in the mass grave outside Mingyue Pavilion.

Compared with the secret door, the life of Mingtang is obviously much easier. Of course, if you want this ease, you'll have to survive the brutal knockout rounds of the secret door. Only by becoming one of the ten people who survived the hundreds of people can you enter the Ming Hall to learn musical instruments and secret techniques, and use music to kill people. And at this time, you can really be regarded as the killer of Mingyue Pavilion.

So I think Su Yue is really a lucky girl, she not only successfully entered the Ming Hall, but also lived unharmed after so many years as a killer, which not only shows that she has a big life, but also shows that she is indeed very suitable for this profession.

She's a good killer.

On that day, a generous guest came to Mingyue Pavilion, and he wanted to hire a killer from Mingyue Pavilion to kill a person with a very important identity.

Of course, if it is an ordinary official, it is easy to do, but the key is that this person is not an ordinary person, he is the uncle of the current emperor, and Song Linyuan, the marquis of Ping, who holds half of the military power of the Jin State.

If this task is completed well, then everyone will be happy to part ways after taking the commission, but if it is not completed well, not only will you be hunted down and lose your life, but it is also possible that even if you are lucky enough to escape back, the employer will dislike you for not completing the task well and will not get the money. Therefore, this kind of thankless work will not be done by anyone with brains.

But to the surprise of everyone in Mingyue Pavilion, their pavilion master actually made this next business. In this regard, everyone can only say that their pavilion master's love for money has reached a point where he is desperate.

As I expected, on the afternoon of the day I took over the business, Su Yue was called alone.

Jiang Mingyue is still the same as she was at the beginning, and time has not left any traces on her. The two cold-hearted women naturally had nothing to say when they stood together, and Jiang Mingyue only said one sentence during the whole process, "This task is handed over to you." Su Yue's answer was even simpler, and the word "yes" ended the conversation.

Since Su Yue's first order was to stay on standby, she had to find out what kind of person this Pinghou was, what habits he had, and how often he went to those places.

Because Mingyue Pavilion had a fairly powerful intelligence network, Song Linyuan's information arrived in Su Yue's hands the next day.

I have to admit that Song Linyuan is a good marquis. Stabilize the court, suppress foreign relatives, severely punish corrupt officials, and improve taxes, and the national strength of the Jin State has gradually increased. It is really not easy for such a marquis with a heavy army, not only does not have the heart to seize power, but also has been doing his best to assist the emperor.

But what makes me wonder is, how can such a conscientious person attract the resentment of others? Or, who has the power to provoke him?

But obviously, Su Yue didn't think of this problem. What she was thinking about now was how to safely lurk beside Song Linyuan, and at this time, the information of Mingyue Pavilion was of great help, because there was a message on it: Many flower buildings in Tiancheng, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, wanted to report the Oiran Contest together, and it happened that on that day, Pinghou was born, and the prime minister chartered a venue to congratulate him on his birthday.

Su Yue pondered for a moment when she saw the news, and then rushed to Celestial City without stopping. Then, in my surprised eyes, I walked into the largest flower building in Tiancheng, which is the place where the Oiran Contest was held, the Zuichun Building.

I looked at the gilded plaque, and suddenly remembered what Su Yue said to me before I fell asleep, she said, "I just know that I came here, and I was right."

The old bustard in the drunken spring building was still the same old woman, and she had probably never seen a girl throw ten ingots of gold on the table, and then said in a faint voice: "I want to run for the Oiran." So when Su Yue did this, I was not surprised to see the old bustard's jaw dropping in surprise.

I looked at Su Yue's expressionless face, sighed, and sighed from the bottom of my heart: "This is really a tough girl."

After the old bustard came back to her senses, she circled around Su Yue several times, and her eyes were so eager that I thought she was going to take off Su Yue's clothes to take a look, she stopped, covered her mouth and smiled: "The girl came at a good time, originally the old body was not sure about the leader of this competition, but now when I see the girl, hehehe, I am afraid that this leader can only fall in my drunken spring building!"

She smiled exaggeratedly, quietly accepted the ten ingots of gold on the table, and then turned around and led the way diligently: "Come on, girl, the old body will take you to your room."

Su Yue nodded and raised her heels. The old bustard talked to her about the process and rules of the competition as she walked, she listened carefully, and finally asked as if unintentionally: "I heard that Pinghou will come?"

The old bustard was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile, but he said bluntly: "This is not bad, Pinghou likes music, and the Prime Minister invited him because of this."

Her gaze lingered on the piano in Su Yue's arms for a while, and she covered her mouth and asked with a smile, "The girl is going to play the piano this time?" Seeing the girl holding the piano, I'm afraid it's not bad to be accomplished! ”

"Nope." Su Yue interrupted her words and said expressionlessly, "I don't play the piano, I dance." ”

I looked at the old bustard's expression and froze for a moment, and then laughed again: "The girl was born so dusty, and dancing is naturally good-looking."

Su Yue answered lukewarmly, and then went to think about her own business, not caring about the old bustard who was still talking around him.

I looked at Su Yue's white figure as always, and I was very puzzled, thinking why she didn't play the guqin she was good at, and wanted to dance the dance she wasn't very good at?

But later I learned that it wasn't that she didn't want to play, but that she couldn't.

Before the amnesia, only two kinds of people had heard her play the piano.

One is the dying and the other is the dead.

She plays the piano just to kill.

That's all.
