Episode 17: The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop
In the Divine Sword Gate, after Yin Hongyan and the White Horse Gang left, everyone had another discussion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Hongyan was so reused by the head of the house, and there were already good people who added fuel and vinegar to Yue Wuxian to sow discord in Yue Wuji's ears.
No trace only when she didn't hear it, let people say that the sky is broken, she is still indifferent, I do my own thing, no trace is this kind of character, Mount Tai is pressed on the top and the face does not change color, this little criticism really can't enter the eyes of no trace.
Late that night, Bai Yulin had nothing to do, wandering around, and happened to pass by Yin Hongyan's room when he heard some small movements inside. Bai Yulin wondered, Senior Sister Yin was not there, how could there be anyone in the room? So she asked out loud, "Who's in there?" ”
With a "bang", a black shadow flew out of Hongyan's room, Yu Lin was startled, and instinctively took a few steps back. The black shadow didn't pay attention to Yu Lin, and just wanted to escape. Where is Yu Lin willing to let him go, he followed with an arrow step, and slashed with a knife. When the black shadow saw the knife coming, he had to raise his sword to resist, but he had no intention of fighting, and only wanted to find an opportunity to withdraw.
"Come on, there's an assassin!" Yu Lin yelled as he wrapped around the black shadow.
This shout alarmed the other brothers in the Divine Sword Gate, and everyone lit torches and rushed over one after another, surrounding Yu Lin. The black shadow saw that he couldn't get out, so he pressed and wanted to put Yu Lin to death.
But how did he know that although Yu Lin was a young girl, she was a disciple selected by Qiu, and she was by no means idle, she saw the move, and coped with it freely, shouting while fighting: "Surround it, don't let this assassin run away!" ”
Yu Lin's mind was: In case I am not his opponent, and there are many brothers to help, I can't say anything to let the assassin go. Anything that is unfavorable to Yin Hongyan, Yu Lin is particularly concerned.
More than a dozen rounds later, the assassin was caught by Yu Lin and slashed in the leg with a knife. Seeing that he was injured, the assassin knew that something was wrong, and flipped his hand and threw a cloud of gold dust at Yu Lin. Yu Lin saw the golden flash coming towards him, he didn't know what the secret weapon was, he faintly felt that it seemed to be threatening his eyes, so he quickly covered his eyes with his arms and tried his best to avoid it.
The Assassin took the opportunity to turn around, pressed his hand to the knife in his leg to stop the bleeding, and was about to fly out of the encirclement. At this time, "whoosh", two flying knives, firmly nailed to the assassin's legs, it turned out that Yue Wuxian came from a distance, seeing that Yu Lin was suffering a loss and the assassin was about to escape, he couldn't quench his thirst from afar, so he hurriedly raised two knives and hit the target.
Traceless didn't dare to aim at the vital point, hoping to catch a live mouth and ask to understand. Seeing that the assassin had been hit by a flying knife, a person quickly rushed out of the crowd, came to the assassin's side, and put his own knife on the assassin's neck, this person was Hu Fenghua.
At this time, Yue Wuxian also rushed to the front, she first asked if Yu Lin was injured, Yu Lin shook his head, and then the two walked towards the assassin together. Who knew that the assassin didn't wait for them to get closer, so he vomited blood and poisoned himself, and Hu Fenghua had no choice but to put the body down.
Everyone looked at each other, and without a trace made a color to the brother next to him, who immediately understood, and walked to the assassin's side to search carefully, but found nothing. Everyone stepped forward to identify the identity of the assassin, but no one knew.
So after inspecting the corpse in person, Wuxian ordered someone to dispose of it, and let everyone disperse, leaving only Yu Lin to question.
"Where did this assassin come from?" Traceless asked.
"Senior Sister Yin's room." Yu Lin replied immediately.
"Oh, it's so late, and Senior Sister Yin is not here, what are you doing in her room?" Traceless asked again lightly.
"I passed by here by accident." Hanqing sighed.
"Passing by accidentally? Is it really such a coincidence? Didn't you come here on purpose? Did you know there would be an Assassin tonight? Traceless stared at Yu Lin and asked.
"No, no, it's not. I really happened to pass by here. How can I have such foresight and foresight! Yu Lin was so anxious that he waved his hand again and again, and he couldn't wait to take out a heart to show others.
"Alright then, you can go back and rest first." Traceless nodded, and sent Yu Lin away with a pleasant face.
Late at night, in the room of the head of Yue, Wuxian was reporting to his father about the assassin. Leaving no trace is strange, why did this assassin spy on Yin Hongyan's room, not the head of the house or his own room? But Yue Siheng cared about who sent the assassin at this time?
Before dawn in the early morning of the next day, everyone was still asleep, Hu Fenghua had already changed into a black dress, covered his face with a black veil, and quietly walked out of the Shendao Gate and came to a secluded forest in the back mountain.
As soon as he entered the woods, he carefully observed the dead branches that seemed to be randomly placed, but were actually very regular. Following the direction suggested by the dead branches, he came to a tree and struck the trunk with his knife three times, making a faint but clear sound.
As soon as this signal sounded, a man in black immediately turned out from behind the tree, and when he saw Hu Fenghua, he was startled and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Hu Fenghua sneered, didn't answer, only took out a letter from his body and handed it to the man in black.
The man in black was puzzled: "This? ”
Hu Fenghua lowered his voice and quickly popped out two words from his throat: "Hurry up!" The man in black had no choice but to put away the letter and turn away. Immediately, Hu Fenghua also turned around and disappeared into the woods.
After the man in black left, he quickly whipped up and secretly handed over the letter to Li Jinyun of White Camel Mountain. Jin Yun opened the letter and saw that it was a blank piece of paper, without half a word, Jin Yun frowned at first, then sighed, nodded slightly, and put the letter on the candle flame and burned it.
It turned out that the so-called assassin was sent by Li Jinyun, and it was Yin Hongyan who she wanted to investigate!
Yin Hongyan's mother, Xue, is a well-known potion master in the rivers and lakes, not only can concoct high-grade drugs such as soft gold powder, but also knows how to mix various poisons.
Li Jinyun heard that Xue's has a special poison, after taking it, people will not lose their breath, they will not wake up as if they are asleep, if there is no antidote, they can continue to sleep like this. It's just that the Xue family has been in seclusion for a long time, and no one knows where she is, so she asked Hu Fenghua to keep an eye on Yin Hongyan to see if she can find any clues.
Hu Fenghua observed from a distance that Yin Hongyan had a gold silk brocade box, which was placed next to the bedside pillow, which seemed to contain something important. He asked other brothers about Hongyan's brocade box, but no one knew about it, which made Hu Fenghua more and more suspicious.
This time Hongyan left the main altar, it was a great opportunity, Hu Fenghua wanted to go to Yin Hongyan's room to find out, but Li Jinyun did not allow it, but sent other masters to come, who knew that it was accidentally committed in the hands of Bai Yulin.
Hu Fenghua was very annoyed, he felt that if he went, he would not be discovered; But Li Jinyun was very happy, she felt that if Hu Fenghua was sent and was discovered, she would be exposed, and she could not continue to go undercover in the main altar.
That day, Hu Fenghua was following the master to monitor him, but after being discovered by Yu Lin, Hu Fenghua also wanted to reach out to save him, but Yu Lin shouted and attracted everyone to surround him, and Hu Fenghua was not easy to interfere.
Seeing that the master had hit the flying knife without a trace, and there was no hope of escaping, Hu Fenghua was the first to rush forward, and at the same time as setting up the knife, he gave the master a fierce look, and used his other hand against the vital place behind the man.
The man immediately understood, so he obediently took poison and committed suicide. Hu Fenghua then gave Li Jinyun a blank piece of paper, which means: nothing.
Since the day the assassin was discovered, the head of Yue ordered someone to strengthen the vigilance of the general altar, Hu Fenghua knew that at this time, it was better to stop the flag, as for the poison, I am afraid that it will have to be discussed in the long run.
The next day, Yue Wuxian and Cong Hanqing came to Bai Yulin's room.
"You've made a meritorious service this time!" Cong Hanqing said as soon as he entered the door.
Yu Lin was a little embarrassed, stared down at his fingers, and said, "How can there be?" None of them were able to capture the Assassins alive. ”
"Hongyan said that she likes you the most among the people in this autumn election, and it seems that she is right. There is indeed potential. Traceless smiled.
Yu Lin's head was buried lower, and his cheeks were crimson, like peach blossoms in spring, which was very cute.
"I've discussed it with my father, and I'm going to give you a gift as a reward." Said mysteriously without a trace.
"What gift?" As soon as Yu Lin heard that there was something good for her, his eyes immediately lit up and he couldn't wait.
"But you have to get this gift yourself, whether you can get it or not depends on your own ability." Without a trace, he gently scratched Yu Linjunxiu's little nose.
Yu Lin was confused, what was going on?
