Chapter 7: Throwing stones to ask for directions
The night falls, the evening breeze rises, and there is no moon on this night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After dinner, Su Jin read a book in the hall for a while, and then he rested early, and the Bixi Jingyu and the others also went back to their rooms, and the time passed quietly in the thick night.
In the middle of the night, on the roof of Xiangfu Building, several dark figures holding dark swords swept lightly, and the night clothes on their bodies completely outlined the sturdy figures, but they blended into the deep night, and the shadows disappeared invisibly.
One of the sturdy men slowly crouched down, gently lifted a tile under his feet, and the faint candlelight reflected in his eyes, and on a bed in the room that was half-covered with a tulle curtain, a slender woman wearing a moonsilver carved mask that covered almost all of her face lay calmly, and there was silence for a while.
The corners of the black-clothed man's lips were slightly hooked, and he gently put the tiles back in place, raised his hand with his back to the others and waved violently, the others understood, and immediately set off and slowly dived down to the roof, from the window of the hall outside the second floor, quietly penetrated into the room one after another, and then passed through the door of the hall, and entered the corridor in the building.
After the leader made sure it was safe, he led the others along the wall through the corridor, and then stopped in front of a separate bedroom door at the end of the corridor......
The night is still silent.
After several people looked at each other and agreed, they quickly lined up in two rows and moved into the room lightly, while the woman on the couch was still asleep.
The leader of the man gestured with his hand, and the four of them faced the direction of the door side by side, in case of possible external changes, and the other two held the dark sword in their hands, and slowly approached the couch in unison, and the two looked at each other again to confirm, and the sudden change was also at this time.
The door slammed shut, the candlelight went out, and an aura of danger swept through the darkness without warning.
"It's not good, get out of here!" The leader yelled.
However, a muffled snort of extreme pain immediately remembered behind him, and the smell of blood instantly diffused, and then there was a bang, someone, down!!
But before he could determine the exact location of the former, the next muffled grunt sounded, then the third, then the fourth......
"Help, save me......"
The chill and fear permeated every inch of his body in an instant, and a consciousness was telling him, run away or you would die! He didn't care about anything else, and instinctively determined the direction of the window and rushed desperately, but immediately, he stopped.
The candles lit and the door opened.
The black-clothed man at the head lowered his head slightly, looking at the cold sword that was stained with blood on his shoulder, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Throw the sword away, back off!" Jing Yu said impatiently.
The man in black hesitated for a moment before throwing away the long sword in his hand and taking a few steps back.
Bi Yue on the side glanced at the man in black, flicked the tip of her sword at the several corpses on the ground that had lost her breath, and said disdainfully, "With this little ability, you dare to come here to find death!" ”
At the door, another woman in white wearing a moon silver carved mask slowly came into view.
What's going on?! The man in black said in horror, and then looked sideways at another woman in white wearing a mask and holding a cold sword in front of the bed, but saw that the woman slowly took off the mask, and then, a delicate and soft face appeared in front of him.
I see!
"Girl, Bixi's appearance is still qualified?" Bi Xi asked with a smile.
The man in black looked at the three people in front of him who were smiling, but the long sword in his hand was still bloodstained, only to feel that his scalp was numb, and his whole body was already shuddering. Each of the six people he brought was already a high-level killer, and he had never missed the task he had taken over in the past, but when he met these three people today, two of them were still women, but they were all wiped out before they even had a chance to resist, and the terrible skills of these three people can be imagined.
Su Jin slowly stepped into the room with Ling'er in his arms, and said with a smile, "Your appearance is not only qualified, even I think you are me!" ”
"If you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" The man in black snorted coldly.
"Did I say I was going to kill you?" Su Jin smiled lightly, "Go back and tell you the prince, I don't want this kind of meaningless temptation to have a next time!" As for you, I will take it for his sake and let you live! ”
Jing Yu had already put away her sword and stepped aside, the man in black was shocked, it turned out that she already knew where they came from from the beginning, but she could still let him go back alive!
"What? Don't you want to go yet? Jing Yu snorted coldly.
The man in black looked at Jing Yu and the others vigilantly, his figure slowly retreated, and when he reached the door, he quickly turned around, and fled in embarrassment according to the route he came.
"Let's let him go back like this, isn't it a little too cheap for King Qing?" Bi Yuenu said.
"I want to deter rather than kill, and if these people are all dead, then who will go back and tell King Qing about their defeat? Moreover, since we still have to cooperate in the future, we still have to leave a little leeway now, and we have already killed six of them out of seven people, and the price of this temptation is not small at all! ”
"That's just as well! I just think that King Qing's character is too much, so he should suffer more! But now, Sister Su, I'm so sleepy......" Biyue said softly with a yawn.
"Your room is right next to here, and there's such a strong smell of blood, are you sure you can sleep?" Jing Yu said disdainfully.
Biyue glanced at Jing Yu and said as she walked out, "The sky and the earth are big, and sleep is the biggest!" I don't care, don't you still have to clean it up? ”
The corners of Jing Yu's mouth twitched, this girl is really good!
"Girl, let's go rest first, just me and Jing Yu here!" Bi Xi said.
Su Jin shook his head with a light smile, "Go back and rest, someone will clean up here!" ”
Jing Yu was stunned, and only reacted after half a sound, "By the way, this is our own place, and some people will solve it, so let's take care of this!" Jing Yu smiled, "Then Biyue, wouldn't it be because of this that she went to sleep by herself?" ”
Bi Xi smiled and shook her head, "You overestimate her!" She's just too sleepy to clean up with us. ”
At this moment, there was a string of light footsteps in the corridor outside the room, and then Ge Wen'an walked in quickly with seven or eight people, bowed and said, "Girl, go rest, leave it to your subordinates!" Tomorrow you won't even have a fishy smell! ”
"Okay, then I'll work hard for you!" Su Jin smiled and nodded, and then carried Ling'er out of the room, and Jing Yu and Bixi also left.
Qingwang's Mansion, in the center of the main court.
Zhong Zheling stood under the verandah, kneeling in front of him a sturdy man who had not had time to change into a bloodstained night coat, and the people on the ground at this time were like frosted autumn grass, unable to raise their heads, and did not dare to lift them.
Zhong Zhe looked at the black-clothed man on the ground who was dressed in blood but intact with a cold face, and his eyes were full of almost murderous anger, "You still have the face to come back alive!" I didn't even see the truth or falsehood of the target of the killing, so obvious traps you also drilled into it, and in the end, they were all wiped out before they even got close, and they were all wiped out, and they were stupid if they didn't have brains, what did the king raise you to do with this ability?! ”
The man in black didn't say a word, it was Zhong Zhe's anger right now, it was okay if he didn't say anything, if he did, I was afraid that he wouldn't want to live until tomorrow!
A sturdy man in dark brown armor beside Zhong Zhe stepped forward and said respectfully, "Lord Wang, it is certainly infuriating that they failed to assassinate, but Su Jin was able to let him come back alive, and it didn't convey two messages, first, an assassination like ours was nothing to her at all; Second, she does have the sincerity to cooperate with the prince. ”
"Sincerity? This king sent a total of seven people, and she killed six people, is this her sincerity? Zhong Zhe snorted coldly.
"But the prince thought about it instead, if she sent someone to assassinate the prince, would the prince let one go back, or would he not keep one?"
"But what her origin is, what her purpose is, and how much power she has behind it, this king doesn't know anything, in this case, how can you tell this king to cooperate with her with confidence?"
"But didn't she say that our purpose is the same?"
"She said it, and you believed it? This king is afraid that he will be cheated by her when the time comes, and he doesn't know what's going on! ”
"Then we're going to reject her like that? But what if she really looks for another master and turns against us? ”
"Impossible! Her words are just to force this king to comply, although this king has no way to get rid of her, but once she falls to the other side and makes a move, then this king has a way to deal with her, and even without this king himself, this king's good brother can clean her and her chosen master! ”
In other words, the prince's path is actually her only choice now! So what are we going to do now? ”
"Didn't she say five days? Cool her first! If you agree too easily, then the king will inevitably be too expensive! ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!"
"Qin Jie, from tomorrow onwards, closely monitor every move on the side of Xiangfu Tower, and if there is any problem, immediately report to this king!"
"Subordinates obey!"
Zhong Zhe glanced coldly at the man in black on the ground, and hummed a word from the bottom of his nose, "Get out!" ”
The man in black had been kneeling for a full hour now, his legs were numb, he staggered to his feet, and almost fell down again, but now that Zhong Zhe had let him go, he naturally had to disappear from his eyes quickly.
"You go to ask General Zhao to come over tomorrow, at least this king, you have to probe his tone first!"
Qin Jie arched his hand, "Yes, my subordinates understand!" ”
Zhong Zhechang changed his tone, and the anger in his heart finally calmed down, and he didn't care about Qin Jie, he turned around and strode to a concubine in the side court.
After Qin Jiegong sent Zhong Zhe out of sight, he also returned to his bedroom, just remembering what happened tonight, and then with the woman in white who accompanied King Qing in the Xiangfu Building and did not change his face, not to mention whether he was an enemy or a friend, just with this extraordinary bearing, it is already rare in the world, not to mention that it is still a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, even he can't help but have a gratuitous awe of this woman in white who has only one side, It's no wonder that the top masters like the three people around her are still rare in the rivers and lakes, and they are willing to obey her!
Hopefully, they won't be enemies!
