Mo Changkong was very surprised, glared at him for a long time, suddenly understood, laughed, clenched his fist and slapped his chest: "I see." Does Master Hou know? ”

Xia Haojun was beaten back by him half a step before he stabilized, and immediately slapped him back unceremoniously: "Whether I leave or stay, he will not be surprised." It's you, who have been wandering for two years, how do you feel about the outside? ”

"In general, no more free than the Hou Mansion. But since the house is not at peace, I really have to plan carefully. Hey, I actually thought of going together again. Mo Changkong threw the account book back to him, turned around and walked away, "Tell Lin Yu to come to me again tomorrow." After a few days of traveling, I was so tired that I was allowed to take a breath. ”

In the spring of the 171st year of the Great Apocalypse, the traditional life and death verdict of the Xian Ge Tong Guò elected five new elites, who were still numbered according to their age, except for twenty-four women, and the remaining four were men. After the end, Thirteen deliberately went around to the front yard, carefully examined the five newcomers, and finally fixed his eyes on Twenty-Four. She was plain-looking, dressed in men's clothes, almost completely obliterating the characteristics of women, standing in the middle of a group of teenagers, and there was nothing surprising to see at all.

The killers of the Idle Pavilion are usually very silent, with Seventeen being the only exception, and can mumble for a long time no matter what happens. Twenty-four was even more silent than the others, and even his eyes were silent to the extreme, without the slightest emotion. This kind of calm is also different from Nineteen. Nineteen calm is because I don't understand, so there is no emotion; And she is more like returning to the original after a qiē and a great enlightenment.

In this elite selection, nearly 40 people participated, and in the end, only five people survived, and she was one of them. So Thirteen felt that she was not simple, and if she could win her over to help her, she would be more sure.

Thirteen's idea was quickly confirmed: a few days later, when Eleven returned from his mission, the small courtyard immediately became lively. Because they were not reminded in advance, the newcomers all learned Eleven's pranks: incense with special functions, tea with ingredients, tables and chairs that were suddenly hollowed out by insects, ornaments with hidden mechanisms, and strange instructions in the name of the pavilion master or elder...... Four young and vigorous teenagers kicked open Eleven's door one after another, and then were thrown out in a fit of rage. Only Twenty-Four did not show up from beginning to end, and did not take half a step out of the room. In the end, Eleven thought she was boring, and took the initiative to give up pranks for the first time, and even stopped provoking her.

Thirteen thought for a moment and sent her two girls' clothes: "My daughter's family is more beautiful." ”

Twenty-four looked at him silently for a moment, there was no fluctuation in her silent eyes, she nodded slightly, and accepted her clothes, which was equivalent to accepting Thirteen's overture. Thirteen knew that trust needed to be cultivated, not to mention that he was thinking about life and death, so he didn't say much at the moment, turned around and walked towards his room. Seventeen saw it from afar, and immediately came over with a smile: "Yo, don't fall in love with empathy?" ”

Thirteen didn't bother to defend himself and ignored him.

Seventeen was bored, and changed the topic: "I heard that the pavilion master ordered Twelve to come back, and it is estimated that there will be a big move." I guess it has something to do with the movement in the capital. ”

Thirteen was stunned when he heard this: "What is the movement in the capital?" ”

Seventeen looked at him in surprise: "Mo Changkong was recalled to the mansion by the Marquis of Dingguo, haven't you heard?" No, you don't know such a big thing, it's really empathy? ”

"Of course I do." Thirteen is impatient. Nineteen was in the Hou Mansion, how could he ignore the movements of the Hou Mansion. Twelve is not in the capital, and the next time she delivers medicine, she has to think of other ways to stop pretending to be a restaurant guy. As for Qu Shaojie's side, his recent thoughts have been on the case, and a few days ago, he intentionally or unintentionally asked Thirteen about the Idle Pavilion, I don't know if he was doubting the identity of the Thirteen, or if he planned to start investigating the case from the Idle Pavilion.

Seventeen lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I saw Mo Changkong before I came back. He didn't have the habit of selling guanzi, so he continued after a short pause, "Thirty years ago, the Mo family in Jiangbei was a well-known family in the rivers and lakes. Mo Changkong's mother was originally a girl, and the child was sent out to practice martial arts when he was born. Later, the Mo family offended the people in the official mansion and was charged with colluding with bandits, and sentenced to be beheaded. Mo Changkong was only ten years old at the time, and he escaped when he was not in the Mo family. Six years later, he was successful in his studies, and he met Lan Lietian as soon as he came out of the rivers and lakes, and since then he has been Lan Lietian's chief of guard. Five years later, the person who framed the Mo family was sent to the front line of the battlefield by Lan Lie, and the person who was extremely afraid of death actually died for the country. ”

Mo Changkong has a free and easy temperament, and he is not used to seeing the open and secret battles in the court, and when Lan Lie is successful, he will return to the rivers and lakes to live a wandering life. This time, Lan Lie summoned him back, and the outside world was speculating about how long he could stay. ”

Thirteen asked suspiciously, "Do you think he won't stay long too?" "With Lan Lie's style, it's hard to believe that he will reuse someone who will stay for a short time, and there seems to be another inside story.

Seventeen shrugged: "When I was on a mission, I met people in the officialdom, and everyone said so. After speaking, he saw Thirteen frowning, looking preoccupied, knowing that he was worried about Nineteen, and deliberately changed the topic at the moment: "Hey, what do you think of this batch of newcomers this year?" ”

Thirteen was guessing Lan Lie's intention to recall Mo Changkong, and casually perfunctory him: "It's good." ”

"Will it outlive us?" Seventeen Hui Fù's usual grinning attitude successfully pulled his attention back.

Thirteen was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

Seventeen folded his fingers and calculated: "Our batch is a special case, nine of us survived five years ago, and all of them have survived until now, and they have not lost arms or legs." You see, the first two batches of our people, so far only the fifth and sixth are left. Only five people have survived this year, and we don't know how long they will live. Seventeen looked serious, but his tone was as relaxed as if he was joking: "I've always had good luck, and I'll probably outlive them." ”

Thirteen didn't follow his train of thought to think about it any further, but asked unexpectedly, "Why did you suddenly think of this?" ”

Seventeen leaned his back against the wall and relaxed: "Looking at these newcomers, I suddenly remembered what happened to us five years ago. Hey, I said no, and I was shaking with fear. ”

Of the more than 30 children, only five survived, and he had no long skills, relying on his speed and luck, he actually hid until the last day. The nine men were frozen with each other until the fire suddenly ignited. At that time, Seventeen was the first to hide under the cliff, and when Thirteen and Nineteen followed, he knew that he was not their opponent, so he preemptively said that he would give up his position, and he could stick to the stone wall on the edge of the cliff to hide, just begging them not to sneak attack. Nineteen has never had a scheming heart, and readily agreed.

When the rest of the people arrived, they happened to see Nineteen nodding, thinking that the three of them were in an alliance, and cautiously watched each other, waiting for others to make the first move, and they would make a profit. Thirteen looked at Jian Yi, who was quickly approaching the fire and proposed an armistice, and everyone tied up and lined up against the wall to hide under the cliff. Nineteen first hid in the foothold, holding a rope made of clothes and belts, providing strength for the others. Before the fire subsides, if anyone makes any changes, Nineteen can do it at any time and kill them on the spot.

No one disagrees, and being alive is the most important thing. None of them are particularly belligerent, not to mention that they also know that Nineteen has always had no scheming and will not play tricks. So the rope was quickly knotted, and Nineteen held the middle section, and wrapped the rope around his waist to ensure safety, and Seventeen and Thirteen held the two ends respectively, and everyone climbed to the bottom of the cliff at the same time, and stabilized their bodies with the help of the rope and the stones protruding from the wall, so as not to fall down the cliff.

It was not until dusk that the fire subsided, and Nineteen was the first to climb back to the cliff, pulling the ropes to pull up the dizzy people, each of whom was exhausted and had no strength to fight each other. No one explained the cause of the fire afterwards, and they tacitly did not ask. The answer has long been obvious, they are not qualified to resist.

At the end of the three-day fighting period, nine people survived. Facing the pavilion master's gloomy face, Seventeen thought in horror that the first person to die would probably be himself. For three days, he was anxiously busy hiding and did not directly kill a person. How can you be a killer if you can't kill people?

To his surprise, the Pavilion Master decided to punish Thirteen first. Killers are not allowed to have feelings, nor are they allowed to be in private company. XIII. Flagrant disobedience to orders shall be punished by death. The elder of the Eagle Hall tied up Thirteen and was about to make a move, when the quiet Nineteen suddenly attacked, snatched the weapon of the Eagle Hall Elder, and blocked in front of Thirteen with a protective attitude. Her willow eyebrows were upside down, her eyes were glaring angrily, her face was stained with half-dried blood, her scattered hair was sticking to her cheeks, she was holding a sharp blade tightly in her hand, the bloody clothes on her body had not been changed, and the seemingly thin burst out of strong and sharp power to her body, as if Shura was coming to the world in the twilight, which shocked everyone secretly.

The pavilion master calculated: If Thirteen was forcibly executed, he would not only lose Nineteen, a natural weapon, but also lose several good hands in vain, so he changed his gentle expression to appease Nineteen, not only leaving Thirteen, but also generously pardoning the rest. Seventeen was lucky to save his life, and he was a little closer to Thirteen and Nineteen.

Five years is not a long time, but it is not a short period of time. Seventeen was keenly aware that almost all of them were quietly watching over Nineteen. Maybe it's because she's youngest, maybe she's too simple to threaten anyone, or maybe it's because of her thrilling rebellion that saved their lives and made them benefit from her. In short, taking this opportunity as an opportunity, the relationship between their group of people has been invisibly brought a lot closer, and the cooperation in the task is extraordinarily tacit, and they are all alive and well after five years.

Although their apparent relationship is completely incompatible with the word "harmony", especially Eleven, they are simply the public enemies of the whole cabinet.

Seventeen looked at the people a few steps away, his mind flew up in a trance, and he asked, "Thirteen, have you ever thought about the future?" ”

Thirteen looked around extremely carefully, making sure that there was no one else around, and then said cautiously, "I think about it occasionally." Have you ever wondered what you would want to do if you could get out of here one day? ”

Seventeen lazily picked up his hand, with a bit of yearning: "Naturally, I travel all over the world and be a real Jianghu person." Go wherever the scenery is beautiful, or abandon the martial arts strategy, like an ordinary person, crowd in the crowd to see the excitement, and change places when you are tired. One day when you can't walk anymore, you will find a place where you don't know anyone and settle down. may marry a daughter-in-law with a gentle personality, accompany her to live a life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, and trivialities, and honor her father and mother together. As he spoke, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's just talking." How can people like us walk away? ”

Thirteen didn't talk. He borrowed Qu Shaojie's connections and quietly opened two household registrations for ordinary people, and now he only needs a suitable opportunity for him and Nineteen to escape from the idle pavilion. And then they are no longer the elite killers that make people talk about it, but ordinary ordinary people. Until then, the most important thing for them is to live well.

Only by living can there be a future.

In the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, Mo Changkong officially served as the chief of the guard and took over all the security matters in the mansion. Nangong Xueruo was on guard for a few days, but found that he had only summoned the maid guards of Luoxia Garden to give a lecture, and he had not even changed the candidates, and he was still the people originally selected by Xia Haojun, and he had almost never set foot in Luoxia Garden since then. On the contrary, it was Qingyuan's maid guard, who was removed by him. There is also one of them who is a girl who is called by Xue Ji. Of course, Xue Ji didn't comply, and quickly brought the matter to Lan Lietian.

Mo Changkong said: "Because she didn't serve her master well, she caused Master Hou to be distracted by Qingyuan's affairs from time to time, so she had to be replaced." ”

Nangong Xueruo was very puzzled, what Mo Changkong meant, was it to satirize Xue Ji for favor? Transferring her right-hand girl is a warning? What she didn't know was that because of Xia Haojun's "restless" evaluation, Mo Changkong made up his mind to replace the most powerful person around her.

Lan Lie leaned his hand in his hand, stared intently at the scroll that had just been put down, and said to Mo Changkong: "You don't need to ask Ben Hou about this kind of thing, you can just call the shots." ”

Nangong Xueruo obediently lowered her head to polish the ink for him, and heard Xue Ji's unrelenting voice: "She is a person from my courtyard, and I should personally deal with it." ”

Mo Changkong sneered: "No one has talked to the girl about the rules of the house yet." But whoever makes a mistake, except for the Hou Ye, only the chief of the guard in this mansion has the right to punish him. It used to be Xia Haojun, he was very busy and didn't have time to pay attention, but now that he summoned me back, I am fully responsible. ”

Yukihime's beautiful eyes suddenly filled with tears. She knew that Mo Changkong had been with Lan Lie for many years, and the relationship between master and servant could not be provoked at will, so she used Huairou's strategy, and Chu Chu pitifully confided in Lan Lie: "It's just someone else, only this girl has a fate with me, otherwise I wouldn't have bought her into the mansion in the first place." Even if she does something wrong, find an old teacher to teach her, and change it, the girl next to her may not be as agreeable as she is. ”

It turned out that this girl was the one she brought back from outside.

Lan Lie raised his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered that there was such a thing. Xia Haojun didn't do it until now, and there was no big problem when he thought about it, so he didn't take it to heart, just raised his eyelids and instructed Mo Changkong: "Tell Xia Haojun to be careful and find a few clever ones to send to Qingyuan." You are the one who checks the gates, and you must not slack off. Then he turned his face to reassure Xue Ji: "Guard Mo and Steward Xia have followed Ben Hou for many years, and they have their own plans, and they will not wronged you." ”
