53. Assassination of Motojiang
As Nangong Mingyu mysteriously opened the last layer of white cloth, revealing a rectangular box with a sword inside, the blade of which was only half the width of an ordinary sword, and a red strip was dotted in the middle, extending from the hilt to the tip of the sword.
This looks like a lady's sword.
Nangong Mingyu took the sword and said, "I spent a lot of energy to get it from one of my masters."
"The master?" Asakura asked curiously, why didn't someone take her with you? She hadn't met a master in this world for so long.
"The master of sword casting, the swords he forged are all famous swords, and even the soft sword on the waist of the third brother is also cast by him," Nangong Mingyu said with some pride
When Sakura heard Nangong Mingyu say this, she looked forward to it, she knew how powerful the soft sword on Nangong Mingmo's waist was, so in this way, this sword must be very good.
"This sword is called Nixia Sword, it was cast by this master for her daughter, but unfortunately her daughter was killed by his enemy, and this sword has been sealed, Lei Feng, you said that you want to learn swordsmanship, I will go and find the sword for you" Nangong Mingyu handed the sword to Asakura.
"That's what he gave you?" Sakura asked curiously with her sword.
"Of course it's not that simple, I'll help him destroy his enemy, and then he will give me this sword," Nangong Mingyu said lightly.
"......" felt that this sword seemed to carry a lot of blood debts, and she didn't want it anymore.
While hesitating, a small general hurriedly ran over and said, "Oh no, General Yuan has been assassinated"
Several people were shocked when they heard the news, and Nangong Mingmo said, "Where is it, take us over"
"Yes," replied the young general
Then the group followed the little general to the outside of the city, Yuan Jiang was standing intact in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by many corpses, only one was kneeling, and his whole body was tied up with flowers.
"This is from the West?" Sakura said, glancing at the outfits of these people.
"Yes, these people are here to assassinate me" Yuan Jiang did not have a trace of fear, but seemed happy because he had caught a living one.
The people sent to assassinate Yuanjiang are all masters, and after a look at the people around Yuanjiang, she understands that the people on their side are not bad, Yu Li 4 people, as well as Li Min, Yuan Fu, these people are not bad, if it is an ordinary soldier, it is estimated that it will not be so easy.
"But there's one more run, this one can be caught back and see if you can ask something,"
The rest of the people nodded as well.
On the way back to the city, Nangong Mingyu pulled Sakura and whispered: "This sword is regarded as a token of love, since you have received it, you can't regret it." With that, he quickened his pace and left
There were 10,000 ponies galloping past in Asakura's heart, and she immediately ran up and said to Nangong Mingyu, "Then I still don't want it, when I return to the imperial city, just let your brother give me one" As she spoke, Sakura returned the sword to Nangong Mingyu.
"Okay, just kidding" Nangong Mingyu quietly knocked Asakura on the head with a folding fan.
And this scene was almost bleeding when Yang Ni behind him saw it, should he find a time to kill this Lei Feng, so that he might be able to save His Royal Highness.
Asakura didn't know that she was so worried about Yang Ni, she only felt a gust of yin wind behind her, and when she looked back, Yang Nie's eyes were indeed terrifying, and she almost wanted to cut her with a thousand knives.
Could it be that Yang Ni likes this sword?
Sakura slowed down and waited for Yang Ni to come up and say, "Brother Yang Ni, if you like this sword, I'll give it to you."
"Hmph" The Yang Ni snorted disdainfully, tilted his head and walked away without looking at Asakura.
Sakura is strange, why does she always meet such a tsundere person? She was left alone in the wind.
"Eh, Wei Zi, Yang Ni, this is so? He didn't do this to me a while ago, "Asakura can't find the reason, so she can only ask Yuizi, who has the same experience."
Wei Zi is an outsider, and when he sees it clearly, he reminds, "It's good if you stay away from His Highness."
"Could it be that Yang Ni likes His Royal Highness?" It's really full of feelings.
"Then I don't know," Wei Zi left a sentence and followed Nangong Mingmo.
But that's enough to make Sakura's wireless reverie.
When they arrived at the place where they landed, everyone was sitting in a large courtyard, and this time everyone was basically together.
At this time, Yuan Jiang patted his leg and said, "When the king of Shaxiba Xiguo escaped, he said that he would give me a big gift from the southern country, did he mean assassinating me?" ”
"He said that?" Sakura said she didn't know at all.
"Yes," Nangong Mingmo also nodded.
"It's a pity, he didn't take my life, Lei Feng, I'll leave the matter of putting the news in the mouth of this killer in the western kingdom to you," Yuan Jiang ordered.
"Yes," Sakura replied, getting up.
Everyone discussed how to take Hongyun City next, but none of them were unified, and there were different opinions, Yuan Jiang looked in the direction of the shallow cherry blossom and asked, "Lei Feng, do you have any good ideas?" “
"Not for the time being, wait until I get some useful information out of the killer's mouth" Sakura looked at her with everyone's eyes looking at her, and instantly felt a lot of pressure.
"It's okay, but we also have to say something, we have been recuperating for a long time after Dragon City, and the longer we recuperate, the longer the respite time will be given to Xiguo," Yuan Jiang analyzed.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In the cell, the killer of the western kingdom was thrown into the prison with a bang, because he was tied all over, he struggled on the ground for a long time before he sat up, at this time, a shout came from the cell next door, "Yuan Mu? “
The killer named Yuan Mu looked at the source of the sound, and a man with unkempt hair and ragged clothes stared at him with red eyes, and he didn't know who it was, so he asked, "Who are you?" “
"Yuan Mu, I'm Xi Baode" The hoarse voice came again.
"Sibaode?" Yuan Mu had some doubts, this person not far away could no longer see the appearance clearly, could it be the plan of the scheming southerners?
"yes, why did you get caught too?" Sheebold asked.
"I came to assassinate Yuan Jiang and was arrested, what about you, didn't they say that you were already dead when you were in Shaping City?"
"I was arrested when I infiltrated Shaping City that day, and I have been held by them all this time," Xi Baode said with a wry smile.
"Is it really you?" Yuan Mu listened to Xi Baode's words and believed it a little.
"It's me, you broke your right leg when we rode together when you were young, you forgot?" Shebold talks about their childhood to prove his truth.
'Is it really you?' Yuan Mu said in surprise for the second time.
"It's really me, it's just that I've been tortured by the people of the southern country to the point that I can't look like a human, and now how is my western country?" Sheebold asked eagerly.
"Not good" Yuan Mu returned with some sadness.
"What the hell is going on?" Shebold asked eagerly,
"After these battles, my western country is no longer able to attack the southern country, you also know that our western country is originally sparsely populated, and this time the army is completely dependent on forced conscription, saying that we can improve our lives by defeating the southern country, but unfortunately we have suffered countless casualties, and I don't know how to explain to the people of the western country when we go back to the western country."
What Yuan Mu said made Xi Baode also sad, and they were originally full of enthusiasm, but now they are like lost dogs, losing and retreating. What was once a rhetoric is now just a joke, and it hurts like a knife to the heart.
The two of them did not speak for the rest of the day, but fell silent.
Asakura, who was about to enter the cell, also stopped and listened to the conversation between the two, and said to Yuizi who followed behind her, "Let's go, let's go out first"
Yuzi wondered, they hadn't started the interrogation yet, but now he trusted Asakura too, and followed him out of the cell without asking anything.
