Chapter 148: The Assassin
In front of him were two masked men in black, all of the same size, except that one of them had short braids, and the other had a new scar on his forehead. They are holding long swords, and they are approaching this side unhurriedly, and this look is the people of the rivers and lakes.
"Yo, big brother, look, the concubines of the Night King's Mansion are really one of the best beauties, tsk, they really deserve to be the first beauty of the Wind Spirit Kingdom, Liuyueqing, today is really earned, presumably no one in our gang has seen the real one!" The man with short braids looked at Liuyanqing carefully.
Qing Meiren subconsciously covered her cheeks and retreated in horror. Where did Green Lotus see this kind of posture, and he was already so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. Xiaolu is still much calmer, calmly blocking in front of the flowing smoke.
"Midori, call people quickly, we are not their opponents here!" Liuyanqing said in a low voice.
Midori was about to leave, and the man with short braids quickly turned over and steadily blocked Midori's way.
"Hmph, little girl, where are you going, yo he, even a maid is so smart." Short pigtails smirked.
Liuyanqing said solemnly: "Hmph, you dare to be so bold in front of this concubine, you have eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard!" Whoever dares to let you do this, know that this is the Night King's Mansion! ”
The swarthy man calmly paced forward, and could see his torch-like eyes, staring at Liuyanqing deadly, and said coldly: "Concubine Rin, this is what we don't want either, but I heard that there is something interesting in your hand, can you give it to you!" ”
This posture made Liu Yanqing feel at a loss, and this swarthy man looked more intelligent than the man with short pigtails behind him.
"Hmph, what interesting thing are you talking about? Seeing that you are a person from the rivers and lakes, what does it have to do with the Night King's Mansion? I guess I'm looking for the wrong person! ”
The swarthy man put the long sword in his hand on the ground, made a long cut, and said coldly: "Concubine Rin is a smart person, she will definitely know what I am talking about, so it's best not to pretend to be stupid, otherwise it will ......"
"How else?"
Xiao Lu hurriedly blocked the smoke and shouted: "If you want to kill, you can kill it, as long as you don't hurt your mother!" ”
"Hmph, little girl, I admire your courage, but I don't need you now! We want Concubine Rin. After a pause, the swarthy man continued: "Regarding the matter of the emperor's list, I guess Niangniang has heard about it, so I just want to make it convenient, since the important things are in your hands, it is better to hand them over as soon as possible, I won't kill you now, but it will also make you worse than dead!" ”
Liu Yanqing deliberately controlled his nervousness, and the corners of his mouth tugged and said, "How much do you want?" If you let us go, you can make a price! ”
The man with short pigtails laughed loudly: "Concubine Rin, do you think we seem to be trying for money?" It's better to hand over the treasure map quickly, and I can spare you now, or ......" After a pause, the man with short braids looked at the Harumi and the green lotus on the side with malicious intent.
Green Lotus looked at everything in front of her in a daze, or Qing Meiren helped her up, leaning on the stone pillar next to her, and when she saw the man with short braids looking at her, she subconsciously took a few steps back, and her face was already pale with fright.
Xiao Lu looked at Liuyanqing suspiciously: "Niangniang, what kind of treasure map are they talking about?" ”
Liuyanqing shook his head: "Concubine Ben doesn't know either!" ”
Xiao Lu turned to the two black-clothed people: "You must have found the wrong person, Niangniang lives in a simple place, how can she be involved in the grievances between the rivers and lakes and the court for no reason?" ”
Liuyanqing looked at Xiao Lu in surprise, feeling strange for her words, she was just a little maidservant, how could she know about the affairs of the court and the rivers and lakes these days?
The man with short braids plucked out his ears and said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, don't waste our brothers' time, be careful to catch you all back!" ”
Liuyanqing pretended to be calm and said: "You don't want people, and you don't want to rob, it turns out that it's because of the treasure map, hmph, the concubine has already known about this matter, or the day when the emperor list was issued in the capital, although this treasure has made many people eye, especially the concubine also wants to get the treasure very much, but if there is really this treasure map, why didn't the concubine act early?" Could it be that this concubine is really stupid enough to have a treasure map, and she has to wait for you people in the rivers and lakes to snatch it! ”
The two looked at each other and hesitated at Liuyanqing's words. Liu Yanqing continued: "Hmph, you must also be a smart person, you should analyze that the father and sister of the concubine have a close relationship with the emperor, since this is the case, if the concubine has the so-called treasure map in her hand, the first one to be handed over to the emperor is, then why did the emperor go down the emperor's list?" The treasure map must be in the hands of someone else, otherwise, the emperor would not have done this. ”
The dark-skinned man said cautiously: "But there is news in the rivers and lakes that this matter is related to Concubine Rin, not to mention what you have with the emperor for the time being, but you are now the concubine of the Night King, and it is well known in the martial arts that the Night King and the Emperor are incompatible, so it is difficult to guarantee that you are not inclined to the Night King's side!" ”
Liuyanqing sighed in his heart: I didn't expect this seemingly dull person to analyze so thoroughly.
"Your Majesty, this is a huge force that covets your martial arts and even the rivers and lakes, we are just a powerless person, even if we have a treasure map, it will not play a role. You have to know that there is a loophole in what you said, you conclude that the treasure map is in the hands of this concubine, so hasn't the court received the news? If the imperial court knows about this matter, then it will definitely send troops to arrest and question, but it has been more than ten days, and there is still no news, presumably the imperial court has another mystery, rather than you continue to waste time here, be careful that the key points are taken away by others, and then you will be busy! ”
The man with short braids listened to the reason and turned to the other person: "Big brother, this ......"
Liuyanqing's eyes secretly glanced at the dark-skinned man, only to see that his eyebrows were tightly locked, and the long sword in his hand began to gradually droop, as if he was pondering something.
Qing Mei and Green Lotus took advantage of this time to quickly gather around Liuyanqing and looked at the two in front of them cautiously.
In the quiet courtyard at noon, there is the rustling sound of leaves being swept up by the wind, which is loud and small, as if it is ringing in the ears, and there are a few goldfish playing happily in the pond under the pavilion, and the murmuring of the water surface ripples in the space.
At this time, Liu Yanqing noticed that there were minions passing by the gate of the Thorn Orchid Palace, and the sound of the footsteps of the group and the friction of clothes echoed throughout the Thorn Orchid Palace, which seemed a little noisy.
"Hmph, today this concubine can let you live, if there is a next time, this concubine will not be able to protect your head!" Liuyan said in a low voice.
The swarthy man quietly inserted his long sword into the scabbard behind his back, stared at Liuyanqing tightly, and then rose up and left here in the blink of an eye. The man with short braids hesitated, pointed at Liuyan Qing and said, "Brother, this is the number one beauty in the Wind Spirit Kingdom...... Hey, people. “
Xiao Lu on the side hurriedly stepped forward to block the flowing smoke, raised his fist viciously at the short braid, gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't get out, be careful that I flatten you!" ”
"Hey, girl, don't be angry, if you have something to say, say it well." The short pigtails were frightened and retreated, and the staggered ones also used light skills, and left here in embarrassment.
Liuyanqing really saw what it means to be a fox and a fake tiger today.
The hearts of the people were like tight strings, and they did not relax until now, collapsed on the stone bench and sighed: "Who are they? Why did you suddenly break into the Thorn Lan Palace, this matter must be notified to His Royal Highness the Night King. ”
Lu He eased his expression at this time, and said while caressing his chest: "Niangniang, why do you want to let these two people go, these two people are disrespectful to you, this is breaking into the Night King's Mansion, it's too bold." ”
Liuyanqing was silent for a while, and said quietly: "This matter is not suitable for publicity, this is about the matter of the court and the rivers and lakes, besides, His Royal Highness the Night King has a lot of things, and it is absolutely impossible to be distracted from this kind of thing, even if we don't let them go today, it will be very unfavorable to us, you must know that the swarthy man is experienced in a hundred battles, and he must have the means to deal with us, so at that time, I didn't choose to ask for help, otherwise, it is possible that we will not be protected." ”
Everyone gasped and said nervously, "Niangniang, is that really as they said it was because of the treasure map?" ”
Liuyanqing shook her head: "Concubine Ben doesn't know about this matter, it's just that there is an emperor list in the capital that explains about the treasure, but Concubine Ben just doesn't understand why this has anything to do with Concubine Ben." ”
Harumi said worriedly: "Sister Rin, if you don't inform His Royal Highness the Night King, is it really okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Liuyan waved his hand clearly, and when he turned his head, his eyes dimmed a little: that person would definitely not take this matter to heart.
But what made Liuyanqing puzzled was that it was clear that the posture of the two people just now was from the martial arts, but why did they use themselves as a threat? Isn't Yuanfu in charge of the entire martial arts? It stands to reason that the leader of the martial arts alliance would not be unaware of what a gang's disciples did, does Yuanfu know about this? Or did there be some cracks in the various sects of the martial arts that led to this?
A series of questions lingered in Liuyanqing's mind, and he just wanted to see Yuanfu as soon as possible, but Yuanfu has always been without a trace, but there is only one person who knows his whereabouts.
With a speculative mood, Liuyanqing went to the front hall in the evening, this time is the time for the mind to relax in the empty night, so it should be appropriate to disturb him at this time.
