part18. Assassination
A dagger poked in inch by inch along the crack in the door, and the white blade slowly flicked the latch.
Nan Wu smiled coldly, and the tip of his tongue habitually licked the sharp tiger teeth, like an old hunter waiting for his prey to be caught, his eyes full of playfulness.
At the moment when the door latch was opened, Nanwu quickly closed his eyes and lay down on the bamboo couch with bated breath, as if he was asleep, breathing slowly.
The door was gently pushed open, and a pair of eyes peered through the crack in the door, peering into the room in the hazy moonlight. After a while, seeing that the people in the room were unaware, he flashed in lightly.
There were three people in total, all dressed in night clothes, with short knives in their hands. They silently approached the man on the couch. At the moment when the leader stretched out his hand to Nanwu, a black shadow rolled down from the air, and the sharp short blade quickly smeared the neck of the last person.
There was a bang, and before the man could make a sound, he fell to the ground.
The other two were shocked, and suddenly turned around, with incredible surprise in their eyes: "Who are you?" ”
"Lu is leaving."
"East ...... Dongyi Regent?! The two looked at each other, apparently not convinced.
Also, who would have thought that the dignified regent would not sleep in his own guest house, but would live on this beam.
"Anyway, who sent you?" Lu gradually looked lazy, half-squinted, and looked at them with contempt.
The two of them didn't say a word, just clutched the short knife in their hands tightly, staring at him without blinking, looking like they were facing a great enemy.
It's no wonder that they are timid, but the enemy in front of them is too strong. Lu gradually left as the killing god of Dongyi Kingdom, and his reputation spread far and wide, although they were royal secret guards, they had also heard of his name. Seeing his killing intent burst out now, even if the two of them joined forces, they didn't dare to rush forward.
The two sides of the confrontation seem to be waiting for an opportunity to break the situation.
And behind the killer's invisible, Nan Wu opened his eyes and frowned when he saw the scarlet splashing on someone's body. He who has always loved cleanliness has today stained the corners of his robe with blood. Although it was a trivial matter, it suddenly made her feel a little impatient.
Nan Wu raised his arm silently, and his fingers slowly touched the fox bone hairpin on his head. It was too late, it was too soon, and like a vigorous leopard, she leaped up and stabbed straight into the back of the heart of the man closest to her......
And almost at the same moment, Lu Yanli raised his hand and knocked out another person's dagger, cutting the person's throat with a white blade.
"It's okay, you don't know if you don't say it. It's just that what Elder Chu wants to know, you have to tell him in a dream......" Lu Yanli inserted the dagger into the scabbard and said quietly.
Nan Wu looked at the three angry corpses on the ground and let out a long breath.
"Are you afraid?" Lu gradually leaned on the edge of the couch and lowered his eyes to ask her.
Nan Wu didn't seem to want to answer his boring question, walked directly to the corpse, squatted down, broke the hand of one of them, picked up the dagger, and frowned for a long time.
Lu gradually separated from the dagger and explained to her: "This dagger is owned by the Ouchi Secret Guard, and each one has a unique emblem on it. ”
After hearing this, Nan Wu pointed to the location of the emblem: "If this position is engraved with the divine beast Xuanwu, who will it represent?" ”
Lu Yanli looked at her deeply, and said, "There is only one person in Nanchu who is qualified to use Xuanwu as an emblem. ”
"Who is it?" Nanwu asked.
"The leader of the Ouchi Secret Guard, Xuan Ming."
Nan Wu was stunned for a moment, his eyes were slightly sunken, and he remembered the dagger on the woman's chest before, and the emblem on it was the Xuanwu of the integration of turtles and snakes.
Who is she, and why did she come from?
