Nie Yuan was a well-trained man with extraordinary reflexes, and he was already dodging darts when the assassin shot the darts and Qiu Luoxue shouted. The dart flew from the direction facing him, pressing step by step, he was suspended in mid-air, using internal force to support his body to keep retreating, the dart used the flow speed of the air to get faster and faster, his backward speed was getting faster and faster, his arm was open, holding the sword in his right hand, Yuehua hit the sharp scabbard, shooting out a cold light.

The flow of internal force caused a gust of wind to set off around, and the white magnolia in the courtyard fell, and the white petals flew around Nie Yuan in the dark night, which matched the black clothes on his body.

Seeing that the darts were about to arrive in front of him, Nie Yuan went backwards, changed his posture, and the whole person was lying flat in mid-air, and the darts flew over his face. Then he spun and flew down, landing firmly on the ground. When he fell to the ground, the petals of the magnolia also fell to the ground, not far from his feet. He knelt on one knee, the sword in his hand piercing into the ground, and slowly looked up at the assassin opposite, a cold light in his eyes.

He then pulled his sword from the ground and ran to the Assassin's side, but before he could reach it, it stabbed him into the right shoulder. Blood poured out of the assassin's body, staining the magnolia behind him.

"Nie Shishi, are you okay?"

When the dart was shot at Nie Yuan, Qiu Luoxue couldn't take it with her in the house anymore and had already run outside. Seeing that Nie Yuan had solved the assassin at this moment, she hurriedly ran over to ask, grabbed his arm, and looked him up and down several times, confirming that there were no wounds before reassuring.

"Who's hurt?" Xu Zhonghang also came over at this time, he heard from Jiading that someone was injured, and he came over with a medicine box without a moment's delay.

"That man." Qiu Luoxue pointed to the assassin lying on the side, and said, "Oh, by the way, there is another one in the house."

Xu Zhonghang first went to check on the assassin outside, probed his breath and pulse, and said, "He's dead."

"What? He's dead! Nie Shishi, you killed him? Qiu Luoxue was surprised and ran to the assassin to check.

"He committed suicide by poisoning. There was a poisonous sac in his tooth, and he died after biting it out. Xu Zhonghang explained.

"Why do you want to kill yourself by taking poison?" Qiu Luoxue said sympathetically.

"If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent, which is the principle of our industry." Nie Yuan said lightly and walked over.

Qiu Luoxue thought about it, she had indeed seen it in costume dramas and novels, and any assassins, secret guards, and the like had poison in their mouths, and they committed suicide as soon as the operation failed.

Yikes! Isn't Nie Shishi also a shadow guard, then isn't he also ......

Thinking of this, Qiu Luoxue hurriedly asked, "Nie Shishi, won't you be the same as him?"

"Yes." Nie Yuan replied simply, not as if he didn't treat this as an important matter.

"No, Nie Shishi, you can't think about it like that, quick, quickly spit out the poison." As soon as Qiu Luoxue heard Nie Yuan's answer, she immediately pinched Nie Yuan's mouth, and said, "Where are you hiding?" In the teeth? Take it out. No, it's important to be alive. ”

Qiu Luoxue is much shorter than Nie Yuan, pinching Nie Yuan's face like this, she still needs to stand on tiptoe, in order to find the poison in Nie Yuan's mouth, she pinched Nie Yuan's face very hard, and the distance from him was also very close.

Nie Yuan didn't know if he was taken aback by Qiu Luoxue's sudden ghost crying wolf howl and action, or if he was flustered because of such a close distance from Qiu Luoxue. Anyway, he quickly grabbed Qiu Luoxue's arm and forcibly removed her hand from his face.

"What are you doing?" Nie Yuan asked.

"Help you get the poison out, if you accidentally bite it, you'll die." Qiu Luoxue said.

"That poison is only put in when it's on a secret mission, and it's not usually put in." Xu Zhonghang, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore and said.

"Where's the other injured man?" He asked again.

"Oh, that's, it's inside." Qiu Luoxue said.

The three of them then went inside to see the two Assassins inside. Qiu Luoxue noticed that one of the assassins was still very young, probably only about a teenager, surrounded by a bunch of family members, he looked a little scared, his hands were shaking, and there were tears in his eyes, but he was very stubborn and did not let the tears fall.

The older Assassin was a little weakened by the blood loss, but even so he kept the younger Assassin alive.

Xu Zhonghang saw the injury on the assassin's foot and consciously went over to treat him, and the assassin looked at him with a vigilant gaze and asked, "Why are you doing, don't touch me."

"Help you heal your injuries, if you don't take this off, your leg will probably be useless." Xu Zhonghang said, and was ready to move, but the assassin did not struggle to prevent him from moving.

"You don't have to worry about it, don't touch me."

Xu Zhonghang looked helpless, gave a look to the family next to him and said, "Hold it." The family then stepped forward and held the wounded Assassin down.

"What are you going to do with these two people?" Qiu Luoxue asked Nie Yuandao.

"Take back the shadow guard's prison for interrogation, don't worry, I will ask the person who instructed them."

"I'm not at ease." Qiu Luoxue said, "What are you going to ask?" Is it tortured? ”

"I don't rule it out." Nie Yuan replied.

"What about him? He was still a child. Qiu Luoxue pointed to the young assassin.

"So what?" Nie Yuan asked.

"He's an assassin." Nie Yuan's answer was not a little humane.

"I don't think they're in the same group as the assassins outside, and these two people are very simple people at first glance, they shouldn't be bad people, so don't try them, and hand them over to me." Qiu Luoxue looked at Nie Yuan expectantly and said.

"And how are you going to interrogate?" Nie Yuan asked.

"Knowing is reasonable, moving is emotional." Qiu Luoxue said with a playful smile.

"Lock them up first, I'll ask with you." Nie Yuan said.

"Deal." Qiu Luoxue said happily.

When everything was dealt with, it was already late at night, Xu Zhonghang returned to his room and took out the letter in his arms. He was reading the letter when he came to him.

"Why do you bother to do this to yourself?"

Xu Zhonghang sighed as he spoke, looking out the window at the pitch black, his eyes full of melancholy. His mind went back to the old time, when there was a woman...... It's just that it's a time that you can't go back to. The best thing to do is to bury it in memories.

After everyone left, Qiu Luoxue went back to bed and went to sleep, because it was already late, and she almost yawned. But when she lay down on the bed, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Think about it, Nie Yuan may one day be like that assassin, and kill himself by taking poison if he fails the mission. Such a solution would be too cruel for him.

"No, no, it's a tyrannical thing for such a handsome person to commit suicide by taking poison." Qiu Luoxue said as she got up from the bed, put on her clothes and went to Nie Yuan's door.

They lived in the same courtyard, Qiu Luoxue lived in the main room, and Nie Yuan lived in the west wing. Qiu Luoxue went out of the room and saw the white magnolia in the courtyard, and couldn't help but think of the scene when Nie Yuan was dodging the darts, and at that time she didn't feel anything because she was worried about Nie Yuan's comfort. Now that I think about it, that scene was really beautiful.

"Nie Shishi should be the only person in Daqin who can compare with the emperor." Qiu Luoxue said to herself, "No, it should be more handsome." ”

Standing outside and blowing the wind for a while, Qiu Luoxue walked to the room where Nie Yuan lived, stood outside and knocked on the door, shouting, "Nie Shi, have you slept?"

As soon as Qiu Luoxue's words fell, the door opened, and then Nie Yuan's handsome face appeared.

"What?" Nie Yuan's tone was still the same.

"Uh...... It's nothing. Qiu Luoxue said in a hurry, but for some reason she suddenly couldn't speak.

"That's it......," she added, "that is, in the future, if you carry out your mission, even if you fail, don't kill yourself, okay?" Don't be like that Assassin, people have to live to have hope. ”

"You're going to talk about it?" Nie Yuan asked.

"Hmm." Qiu Luoxue said that as soon as she finished speaking, Nie Yuan "snapped" and closed the door, leaving Qiu Luoxue alone in the wind.

？？？？？ Qiu Luoxue stood in the distance and blinked her eyes for a while before she calmed down from the fact that she was turned away.

"Hey, how can you be like this, people are kind enough to persuade you. Hmph, stinky stone, it's so annoying, there's no human touch at all, so I'll ignore you. Qiu Luoxue said these words angrily at the door, and left without looking back.

After Nie Yuan closed the door, he didn't do anything, just stood in place. It wasn't until after Qiu Luoxue left that Nie Yuan reopened the door and walked out when he heard her enter the room and close the door. Of course, at this time, Qiu Luoxue had already gone back to her room.

He sat down in the verandah in front of the room, thinking about Qiu Luoxue's words, thinking about Qiu Luoxue's action of pinching his face and making him spit out the poison, thinking of her deliberately running to his door, I don't know what kind of mood it was.

After dealing with the Assassin's affairs, he did not immediately fall asleep, but sat in the room, what did he seem to be waiting for, but he did not know what he was waiting for? Until the moment Qiu Luoxue knocked on the door, he couldn't wait to open the door. At that time, he seemed to understand a little, he was waiting for the arrival of Qiu Luoxue. But why wait for her? Nie Yuan couldn't explain it, or he didn't think about it.

In the distance, there was a sound of watching, "Knock-knock!" Boom! Boom! Boom! ", one fast and three slow, it's ugly. Under the moonlight, the magnolia flowers quietly exude a fragrance. Out of nowhere, a gust of wind blew, and the petals of the flowers fell. Nie Yuan stretched out his hand to pick it up, and the petals fell on his palm.

Suddenly, he remembered the warm touch that came from Qiu Luoxue's palm when she took his hand that day. The warm feeling seemed to remain in the palm of his hand to this day. Thinking so, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, adding a smile and a touch of tenderness to his overly cold face.
