Chapter 146: Hua
An Jiu leaned on the beam of the house and watched the beginning of the day in the Li Mansion.
Li Ting went to the morning court at the end of every day, and the sweet water lane where he lived was some distance from the palace, so he had to get up before dawn to prepare, and Mrs. Li got up early every day to serve him to wash and change clothes, and personally sent him outside the second gate.
There is a temperature difference in the morning and afternoon in Bianjing, and the morning in summer is slightly cool.
In the inner room, Li Ting sat in front of the makeup mirror, and Mrs. Li combed his hair.
The room is quiet, and in the warm lighting, the peaceful and warm atmosphere between the two is something An Jiu has never seen.
Li Ting's hair was a little gray, but he looked in good spirits. And Mrs. Li is only thirty, she looks younger than her actual age, she has good facial features, but she is not a beauty, but she is elegant and dignified at a glance, you can know that Lu Dao is a standard lady.
After dressing up, several maids carried lanterns to open the way, and the two went out together.
Mrs. Li was always half a step behind, and Li Ting glanced at her from time to time.
No one speaks, but anyone can tell at a glance that the flounder is in love.
An Jiu quietly followed and infiltrated to the second gate.
"Be careful on the road, husband." Mrs. Li took the cloak from the maid's hand and tied it for Li Ting with her own hands.
"Hmm." Li Ting didn't smile, but his mouth was clearly caring, "Lu Zhong, go back quickly." ”
Mrs. Li smiled and said yes, but she didn't return until she couldn't see Li Ting's figure.
An Jiu turned over and walked out of the courtyard, went to the gate and waited for Li Ting's sedan chair to come out, and followed him all the way.
Li Ting brought a fourth-order guard by his side, this kind of defense is very convenient to start, but he walks on the avenue, and there is a fortified city treasury every two hundred steps in Bianjing City, which stores the weapons of the imperial city, and each fortified vault has garrisons. Although the number of people is not large, and the force value is not high, it is very troublesome if it alarms them.
It was easy to assassinate Li Ting, but the five-day deadline was very difficult.
Yasuku followed him until the Imperial Road before leaving. Then she walked back and forth a few times on the way to Li Ting's court. Found several suitable locations for ambushes.
In addition, the nearest city defense library from the Li Mansion is only fifty steps, and the area of the Li Mansion is not large, so the best time to do it in the Mansion without alarming the garrison is when Li Ting is alone in the study at night.
Having chosen a location, Anjiu lay in ambush at one of the ambush points the next day, and waited for his prey with his bow open.
However, watching Li Ting's sedan chair pass by, she did not release the arrow, but rushed to the second ambush site to wait.
Again, just aimed at him. Still didn't do anything. In the afternoon, she went to take care of a sedan chair and sat from Sweet Water Lane to Panlou Street.
There are curtains on the sedan chair, and An Jiu must know the situation of Li Ting's body sitting inside, where his head is and where his chest is......
Sitting in the sedan chair for nearly two cups of tea, An Jiu's expression was a little dignified, leaning on the back of the chair in the sedan chair and sitting upright with a chest difference of about a foot, not to mention the head. According to her observations. Li Ting is a meticulous person, this kind of person may always sit upright, but what if not?
If you want to be foolproof, it seems that an ambush on the road above it will not work.
"Xiao Langjun. It's here. The sedan man said.
After getting off the sedan chair, the bustling street market came into view, and An Jiu took out a broken piece of silver and threw it to him.
"Xiao Langjun, looking for you......" The palanquin man lowered his head and rummaged for change.
Another palanquin man stabbed him with his elbow. "Gone."
It's just that in the blink of an eye, An Jiu's figure disappeared into the crowd.
The sedan drivers thought that a big family sent a small family out to do urgent things, but they didn't pay attention to it. happily took the silver.
Panlou Street is bustling, An Jiu is just an ordinary teenager, wearing a gray gown, not at all inconspicuous, even if she looks around now, in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a kid who has not seen much of the world.
An Jiu found a teahouse, sat down by the window facing the street on the second floor, and waited for Li Ting to return home in the evening to see if there would be any good opportunity for assassination.
If he still takes the same route in the next court, then he can only choose to find opportunities in the mansion. Recalling Li Ting's every move, An Jiu subconsciously didn't want to start in Li Ting's mansion.
An Jiu picked up the teacup and looked out the window, everything on the street was in full view.
As a killer, An Jiu is best at sniping, and the violent tendencies in her soul are destined to make her not weak in close-range combat. She has excellent vision and observation, so in such a noisy environment, she will not miss everyone and every scene, and can quickly distinguish some unusual people and things.
So when the man leading the horse came into Anjiu's line of sight, she spotted him as soon as possible.
The figure of this man is familiar. so familiar that she recognized his identity at a glance.
Yasuku picked up a peanut and flicked his fingers onto his hat.
The man paused, and raised his head slightly. Half of his face was in the shadows, but Yasuku still saw it!
Huarong Jane!
Unexpectedly, it's not Chu Dingjiang!
An Jiu was stunned.
Hua Rong Jian's eyes quickly swept over all the people sitting by the window, and finally met An Jiu's eyes.
An Jiu stared at him without shying away from it. This person is burly, with hard facial lines and cold eyes, which is very different from the impression of Huarong Jian, and if you look closely, you don't really look like Hua Rongjian.
I saw him frown and walk towards the teahouse.
After staring at him for a short moment, An Jiu could be sure that this person had a face very similar to Hua Rongjian, but he was not the amorous person.
"Hua Rong Jian" walked up to the second floor and went straight to An Jiu's side.
He never took off the hat, and after sitting down, he asked for a pot of Tieguanyin, but the eyes under the hat fell on her hand.
"You're out?" Looking closely, An Jiu felt that he was more like Chu Dingjiang.
Xiao Er served tea, he calmly poured a cup, drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and hummed deeply.
Her feeling was not wrong, it was indeed Chu Dingjiang.
Sitting face to face, she finally noticed a flaw, his chin was faintly green, but there were no pores, and it was a thin layer of something covering his face.
An Jiu was puzzled, Chu Dingjiang was strange enough, even if he was wearing a human skin mask and Hua Rongjian, he didn't look like him, why did he have to dress up with this eye-catching face? There are many people who know Huarong Jian in Bianjing!
"You're fine, are you?" An Jiu asked.
Chu Dingjiang shook his head.
After sitting for a long time, Chu Dingjiang glanced at her and got up to leave.
Yasuku also checked out and followed him out of the teahouse.
The two of them walked on the street one after the other for about a cup of tea, and Chu Dingjiang turned around and entered an alley.
When An Jiu followed up, he found that Chu Dingjiang was gone. She used her spiritual power to investigate, and there were no Transformation Realm masters around, only a ninth-order, which was less than ten zhang away from her.
An Jiu walked to a closed door and stood still, the door opened, and she saw Chu Dingjiang standing in the darkness, he had taken off the human skin mask and changed back to his original costume.
"What's going on? Your cultivation is ......" An Jiu entered the house and brought the door with his backhand.
There is only one case in the house, on which is placed a roll of bamboo slips, a finch bronze oil lamp, the furnishings are simple and rough, and the slender and delicate furniture of the Great Song Dynasty is very different. Although Yasuku felt a little strange, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Chu Dingjiang spread his hands, An Jiu saw clearly that there were a few black things fixed on his palms, and he smiled, "I also have some on me, they limited my skills, and completely sent me to the Crane Control Courtyard, many people want to get rid of me, I need you now." ”
It turned out that his appearance in front of her was not accidental.
"What do you need me to do?" An Jiu asked. Chu Dingjiang was kind to her, and when he opened his mouth to ask, she would not refuse.
"Three years ago, I only had a sixth-order and a ninth-order spiritual power. It was because of the lifelong skill of a senior that I was able to reach the transformation realm so quickly, and although there was some loss in the middle, it was enough to help me break through in one fell swoop. Chu Dingjiang didn't answer her immediately, but talked about the past, "What doesn't belong to me is very unstable, and it took me a lot of energy to barely grasp this strength." ”
"Why? Would you rather take such a big risk? An Jiu remembered that in the ancient temple, he once said that if you have other people's skills, if the meridians are not enough to accommodate the strong internal force, you will explode and die. He is obviously in the realm, as long as he wants to leave, no one can keep him, why is he being treated like this but still insisting on staying in the Crane Control Army?
Chu Dingjiang's dark eyes made people palpitate, and the words he said made people unable to calm down, "Ambition." ”
An Jiu frowned, "You approached me for today?" ”
When Chu Dingjiang said the word "ambition", An Jiu's heart was blocked, which was a feeling that Mei Jiu would only have when she was sad in the past, so she knew that she was also sad.
He was so good to her, just to take advantage of her.
"Yes and no." Chu Dingjiang said, "If you really have the intention of pure use, I won't tell you this." I've used tricks on many people, but I don't want to lie to you when I'm in this situation. If you don't say yes, I won't be embarrassed. ”
"I promise." An Jiu brushed away a trace of unhappiness in his heart, "No matter what thoughts you had before, I owe you a life, this is an indisputable fact, and it is natural to repay the debt." ”
"Fourteen." Chu Dingjiang wanted to grab her hand, but was flashed over.
As soon as the door opened and closed, the room was bright and dark, just like An Jiu's heart at this moment.
Chu Dingjiang looked at the closed door and lowered his hand. He sat down, touched the chess pieces from the case, and rubbed the Zhao seal on it, feeling sour in his heart.
He has long been unable to give birth to pure feelings, under the appearance of open-mindedness, lies and deceptions are at his fingertips, he has long expected that a love affair that begins with exploitation will die when it encounters the truth, but he still chooses to tell her the truth.
In his life, he had never wanted to get a person's heart like this.
He used a chess piece to put out the word "Hua" of Zhao Seal on the case, pursed his lips and smiled bitterly.
If I can have your company, I will not be so lonely on this road, Mei 14, if I dig out my heart and lungs for you, will you take advantage of my unpreparedness to stab back......
He likes to take risks the most in his life, the number of roads is strange, and everyone says that he is a ruthless son, who would have thought that there would be today. (To be continued......)
