As one of the best assassins in Chang'an, the shadow that once kept many high-ranking and powerful people awake at night, and the Nie girl, who was soft and unable to lift a trace of strength, was also immersed in her own memories with a loose consciousness;

Now that everything is about to come to an end and be relieved here, she no longer minds recovering the dusty bits and pieces of her memory that have been forgotten for a long time.

Speaking of which, the allusion to this so-called family of assassins comes from Sima Qian's historical records; But in fact, it is just the nearly 100-year situation of the active Tang Dynasty.

The original origin came from the inner worship courtyard of Emperor Xuanzong in the Kaiyuan period, which attracted strange people from all walks of life in the world; Among them, there are many heroes in the world such as long sword weapons, technical strikes, and horns;

Among them, the most famous are undoubtedly Gongsun Auntie, General Pei and others, who have been passed down by poetry and literature; Li Taibai, whose poetry is more famous than sword fighting skills, was also once among them.

However, after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, which was extremely prosperous and declining in the Tang Dynasty, these people worshiped in the inner dynasty also dispersed one after another with Emperor Xuanzong who fled from the capital;

Among them, there are many elders who see the elders with bravery, but they go to the army to serve the country, and King Qin will be difficult under Guo (Ziyi) and Li (Guangbi); Thus became a subordinate of the Northwest Traveler.

Later, there were many people who held their own skills and could not leave their homeland, so they formed a group and called themselves brothers and sisters, and secretly attacked and assassinated the officials and generals of the traitor puppet dynasty.

Later, the world was initially pacified, and in the first year of Su Zongqian, the eunuch Li Fuguo began to dictate the inner house, and in the name of the prosecutor's office, he gathered party henchmen to investigate the affairs inside and outside the government and the opposition.

As a result, these remnants of the former who sacrificed their lives to serve the country were also secretly reassembled, and under the banner of Kuangji Datang and protecting the Son of Heaven, they confronted and struggled with their minions openly and secretly.

Among them, Yingchuan Li Twelve Niang, the descendant of Gongsun Auntie, was one of them, and eventually participated in the successful assassination of Li Fuguo. However, when Li Fuguo went, there was a big eunuch who rose again;

And Yu Chaoen was deceived into the palace and killed in the inner court, and Cheng Yuanzhen began to dictate power; When Cheng Yuanzhen began to lose power and was robbed and killed by the enemy halfway, he ushered in the nectar change of Wang Shoucheng and Qiu Shiliang.

Since then, the changes between the eunuchs and the Son of Heaven have continued. The backers behind the Assassin family also loomed, including the elders of the dynasty, the nobles of the clan, or the foreign powers of the family.

It was only later that the central authority gradually declined, and the feudal towns and wars became the mainstream; The foreign forces behind them also cooperated and cooperated with the eunuchs who controlled the Great Inner Empire to jointly deal with the challenges of those unruly feudal towns under the purpose of maintaining imperial power.

Therefore, with the continuous investment of manpower and resources behind the scenes, the existence of these assassin families also lies in the struggle of the eunuch henchmen, and they are successively divided into several veins to restrain and compete with each other.

For example, the two assassin families of the Nie clan and Gongsun are mainly female assassins who have been cultivated since childhood; Because although women are inherently weaker than men, they are also much less guarded and feared, and it is easier to take advantage of their unpreparedness to achieve things.

It's just that compared to the eyeliner and manpower that the Gongsun family once had all over the courtyard of the teaching workshop, they are better at collecting information than directly assassinating the means and style. Nie took the route of an elite assassin and a man of the dead.

The name of the Nie clan is taken from the allusion of the White Rainbow through the Sun by the Warring States Assassin Nie Zheng; The emphasis is on the righteous man Nie Zheng, who was severely favored, forcibly attacked and killed Han Aihou and dozens of his subordinates under the protection of many armor soldiers, and finally made a tragic decision.

Because of the nobility of cultivation and maintenance, the Nie clan did not have more than dozens of people at its peak, and the number of shots was far less than that of several others, but every time they made a move, they must be a key person with a critical position, or a moment of eminence with great power.

Therefore, the most famous deeds of the Nie family in the world are claimed to be taken away by strangers when he was a child and returned as an adult, and finally assisted the imperial court to solve the prototype of Wei Botian's Nie Yinniang story.

But it has not been seen in the annals of history or for another purpose, so what about the relatives, nobles, important ministers, vassal marshals and their henchmen who died at their hands.

Naturally, these assassin seeds, who have been obtained from the people since they were young, have to go through a long period of painful and cruel selection, and only after a series of cruel competition and selection can they get the final preliminary suitable manpower.

Then it is to learn all kinds of skills in all walks of life according to the nature, even if you have nothing to achieve, you must ensure that you have something to dabble in, and at critical times you can vividly provide cover and life-saving opportunities.

Therefore, as long as the corresponding people can live to adulthood and be ordered to act, they will naturally be named Nie and the corresponding ranking. Then use this as a sign to accept various commissions and perform tasks.

Among them, the ranking level also represents the ability, success rate and status of the corresponding personnel. Therefore, she used to be Nie Sanniang, and she was one of the candidates who were expected to be the next principal/teacher.

However, she has been indoctrinated and emphasized since she was a child, and she has always been a tool, but she is not the particularly good one among the Nie women, even if it can only be regarded as a relatively mediocre result in all aspects;

At most, it is to ensure that she is not eliminated in the selection again and again, and disappears into the vehicles sent away; In their world, there are no friends, no relatives, only a short and unstable master-apprentice relationship under cold and stern dogma.

However, when her peers, who were in some respects excellent in life, began with the most rudimentary tasks, and gradually disappeared from the view of every assembly, she became relatively prominent.

As a result, some people in the Nie family gradually discovered her other potential, the kind of natural lack of presence and inconspicuous temperament no matter what she dressed up or where she was.

Because according to Nie's convention, they spend a long time arranging and managing the corresponding identities every time they make a move, and finally they can get close to the target without warning;

Compared with those companions who are too conspicuous and inevitably fall into it, her natural nature inadvertently increases the survival rate of the means of getting out afterwards.

It's just that as the country is in trouble and the world is in turmoil, the number of people who can pay taxes at the court's disposal is getting smaller and smaller, and these assassin families, who lack resources to maintain and support, have also begun to deteriorate under the pressure of reality.

The origins of the Assassin family no longer only acted mainly against the enemies and threats of the imperial court, but began to kill people in large numbers just for money and profit, and even participated in the power struggle between the center and the locality;

Therefore, some branches were bought and co-opted by the feudal towns, and secretly confronted the center. Some simply took refuge in the eunuchs who held the central authority and the forbidden army, thinking that they were rampant minions and lackeys.

Others are invested in the family represented by the prime minister, and thus become a private force to cut off dissidents. The original supporters of the Nie clan were the Li Tang clan, which was inevitably repeatedly attacked and suppressed in the battles between the Son of Heaven and the eunuchs in the past dynasties.

Therefore, as the sharp blade in the hands of the former Nie clan, there are only a few dozen people left who have withered so far, and they can't even replenish the manpower after the successive losses.

So much so that she is one of the few contemporary principals who are candidates and one of the teachers; He also pretended to be an eunuch for the sake of the Nie family's inheritance, and lurked in the flying dragon stable in the palace for three months.

During this period, she even found a palace man to pretend to be a partner, so that she could wait for the opportunity to assassinate the adopted son of the Great Inner Imperial Eunuch Ximen Clan, and one of the four nobles of the previous generation, Ximen Sigong, the adopted son of the Shence Army, Feilong, so that Ximen Jun Sui caused his horse to fall to death.

Then this time, for the sake of the old patron, she opened a condition and benefit that was difficult to give up and refuse, and she went all the way to lurk and wait outside the ridge, just for the opportunity to assassinate for a moment of death.

However, it took two months to get into the mansion of Lin Yan, the nephew of the yellow thief, and she failed for no reason, and even the moment she approached the target, she was inexplicably recognized. And then there was no more chance.

Because in Guangfu, the underground forces and dark lines that could provide her cooperation and help were subsequently uprooted. If it weren't for her vigilance and intentions, maybe the corpses and heads that were hung on the hanging beams would have their own share.

But as if fate was extraordinarily tricky, she had no chance to remediate herself, and the grass thieves swept through Jiangnan and Lianghuai, and then trapped Liangjing, and finally even the imperial court and the assassin family were gone.

Even if she fled to Jiangnan, she still couldn't escape the result of falling into the hands of the other party. But at least the other party has promised that he can die without so much pain and discomfort, which is a lucky thing.

Because since she was in a family of Assassins and had made many gains, she had not heard of the fate of the Assassins who were caught by mistake, and she could even say that she had witnessed it with her own eyes;

As a female assassin, the fate of not dying on the spot is much more tragic, at least every moment and every moment before she dies, all kinds of horrific encounters can happen to her.

For example, when she was still a flying dragon stable clerk, she saw with her own eyes how a singer suspected of being from the Gongsun family was forced to persist for three days in the hands of a group of eunuchs whose mentality was twisted into a distorted limb and only wanted to die.

So she was really lucky, at least not the worst outcome. It's just that some of them can't live with the sister who sheltered her in Xinyun Courtyard at the beginning, and they can only wait for the next life to be lucky enough to double the reward.

It's just that when she began to wonder in her heart, what happened next was the suffering of the sword soldiers, or the misfortune of strangulation, or other means? Maybe it was escorted to the city gate to behead the public, thinking that it would be a follow-up deterrent? .

After listening to her story, the other party groaned for a long time before he said in a low voice:

"Since there is no one left to drive you, are you willing to use it for me? So maybe I can let go of some inconsequential people and so on.。。 ”

There are some things that can't be written, so I hope you forgive me. In the future, you may see it on the public account or in the group.

The official account has been refound, and it is okay to search for "cat fatigue" directly on WeChat, maybe a chapter and unpublished content in "Three Wears" will also be seen on it.

If you're interested, just pay attention to it, but there's no guarantee of a stable release time, after all, family life, work, and writing have to be taken into account.
