Chapter 16: Assassination
"You mean that my father is His Majesty the Pope?" Ling Ling was surprised, she knew that her identity must come from her unknown father, but she didn't expect it to be His Majesty the Pope!
"Run, kid, don't go back." With tears streaming down her face, the middle-aged woman remembered that very bad time, she was also one of the first believers of the Holy Cross Order, and at first she thought that serving the Pope in the court was the same honor as serving His Majesty in the palace.
Later, she realized that she was too wrong, and she met a completely different Pope from the Holy Cross in the Holy See that he had imagined. When she tried to escape, it was too late, and she was excommunicated from the Holy See and became a slave, until her daughter became a saint, and the assigned work was easier.
Counting that the time was approaching, Zhao Fu and Lin Hanyu slowly approached the mother and daughter, it was too obvious, if there was really a target to assassinate, it could only be that girl!
The fireworks burst into the sky without any difference, and the assassins who stayed on the sixth floor of the Moon Worship Tower, along with Zhao Fu and Lin Hanyu, all knew that it was about to start!
The assassin quietly eliminated Xu Lingling's two attendants, and then slowly went upstairs to find him.
After Xu Lingling learned about his background, he didn't mean to watch the fireworks at all, but he suddenly remembered that the two attendants should have come back at this time.
At this time, I don't know where the news started, not only did the crowd on the seventh floor begin to stir, but the people on the sixth floor were also coerced to the seventh floor, and the few waiters in the Moon Worship Tower couldn't control the situation at all.
"Dead man, dead man!" From time to time, I heard someone shouting like this, and those assassins were also ruthless, and even attacked some non-target passers-by to create an even more chaotic scene.
"Hey, bro, your knife is off." Lin Hanyu patted the back of the man in front of him, then dodged the man's stab and threw a dagger out of his sleeve and went directly into his throat.
"Quick...... Take advantage of the chaos now...... Come on! The middle-aged woman's mouth suddenly spat out blood, and her gaze darkened.
"Mother, what's wrong with you!" Xu Lingling saw her mother vomiting blood, and she was a little flustered for the first time, who had always been calm.
"They want to send you back to the Holy See, and they won't allow me to go back with me, this poison has been laid a long time ago." The middle-aged woman hugged her most well-behaved daughter with her last strength, "Be good, run away, don't come back, don't ...... Miss her mother......" and then she pushed her daughter out with her last strength.
Riots and casualties kept happening and surging, but Xu Lingling didn't seem to know at all, she walked back to her mother's side, squatted down and hugged her mother, who had fallen off the chair because of the loss of her life. This time it was the other way around, Xu Lingling gently hugged her mother, wiped the dirty blood from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and used her white hands to straighten out her mother's hair that had not been taken care of for many years.
"Actually, I know it all, Mother." Xu Lingling helped her mother tidy up her appearance, and whispered in her ear, "When I was eight years old, because I had just moved to a new house, I didn't even have a servant, and you kept using a fan to drive away those insects outside my room. ”
"When I was nine years old, you used the money you saved to secretly buy me a smoothie, which wasn't really delicious, but I thought you would be willing to eat it yourself instead of keeping it for me.
"I was very weak when I was ten years old, and although you are not with me, Mother, I know that you have always been with me, because ah, whenever I say that I am hungry, someone will always bring me a bowl of warm porridge."
"Ah, when I was nine and a half years old, ......"
Xu Lingling squatted a little tired, so she knelt down and leaned her mother's head on her thigh, "When you were still very young, your legs were so soft, and you always had to sleep on your lap at that time." ”
After the last strand of hair was trimmed, Xu Lingling made a simple farewell ceremony for her mother, "Mother, you are the one who can enter heaven." ”
She gently closed her mother's eyes, "I know you hate the Holy Religion, but I am the Holy Daughter of the Holy Religion, and it is my duty to pass on kindness and love to the world. I'm sorry that my daughter really can't listen to you. The next moment, Xu Lingling's fingertips lit up a snow-white flame, and as soon as this flame touched her mother's body, it spread rapidly, leaving no ashes until the end.
The seventh layer had already become very chaotic, and Xu Lingling was sitting on the edge of the place, so it was relatively much better, but just like that, the people around her also began to become dense. It is impossible for a girl like her to leave quietly, she is destined to be the most noticeable person.
The people who want to fight Xu Lingling's idea are not only those assassins, many people with ghosts in their hearts want to take advantage of this chaos to go to Xu Lingling's side to make some cheap, among them, there are many famous Kuo Shao in the imperial capital, and even some people have the idea of heroes saving beauty, wanting to win the hearts of beauties in one fell swoop.
It's just that when those people saw the snow-white flame on Xu Lingling's fingertips, they all stayed away, and some people began to "Demon girl, demon girl!" shouted.
Xu Lingling was very helpless, and was about to reveal her identity and tell everyone that she was the Holy Maiden of the Cross Holy Sect, not a demon girl, when suddenly she saw a person from the crowd, and that person also saw her.
Zhao Fu and Lin Hanyu naturally rushed to Xu Lingling's side, but the position where they were sitting was close to the stairs, so it was also the area where the crowd retreated most obviously, and there were too many people in front of the two of them.
Zhao Fu looked at it at a glance, but he didn't see any demon girl, in his eyes, it was still the girl like a fairy.
And he, too, found her, was watching him.
He's looking for her, she's watching him.
She looked at him with a flattering smile, and he smiled helplessly and walked over to her.
Fate is that you can find that person in the crowd at a glance, and that person can also find you. Zhao Fu found Xu Lingling, but unexpectedly, Xu Lingling also found him. Therefore, Zhao Fu saw the most beautiful fireworks in this life, and her smile was under the fireworks.
"Can you help me?" Xu Lingling was a little unaccustomed to making requests to others, but as if she had an intuition telling her that the young man in front of her who was about her age could help her.
"No problem." Zhao Fu made an OK gesture, although Xu Lingling couldn't understand it, he could also feel Zhao Fu's confidence from it.
"Coming, coming......" Lin Hanyu squeezed out of the crowd with some reluctance, originally he didn't want to take the lead, such a big thing happened, and he was still there, so he would definitely be called by Lin Haoyan for a training. But He Nai Zhao Fu asked him to go up, he had to go up, and hurriedly took out a waist card, "Night Wolf Troops, irrelevant people and others quickly disperse!" ”
The common people of Lanhe naturally don't understand the deterrent power of the Night Wolf Force, but those who can climb the Moon Worship Tower are not ordinary people, let alone the seventh floor. The crowd dispersed, it was the Night Wolf Army, in their hearts, they were the villains who did such things as raiding the family and exterminating the clan!
The crowd dispersed, but there were some who wouldn't retreat until their purpose was achieved, such as the Assassins. Seeing that the crowd dispersed, he could no longer wait for the opportunity, so he had to exchange his life for his life, hoping to achieve the effect of forcible killing. But where are Zhao Fu and Lin Hanyu small characters who can be replaced? Zhao Fu pulled out his saber to meet the enemy, but he reflexively hugged Xu Lingling into his arms first, not wanting her to see the bloody scene.
Lin Hanyu suffered a big loss in the hands of Zhao Fu last time, and it was not interesting to fight with the dog at all, this time in the face of several assassins, he finally had the opportunity to be angry, and he was even more dignified with a long sword, using both fists and feet, and picking many would not fall behind!
Soon, the assassins in the field were dealt with, and Zhao Fu wanted to keep his mouth alive, but found that the assassins who fell to the ground had already taken poison and died, and it seemed that the other side was also very professional, Zhao Fu thought to himself.
"The assassins have been cleared, in order to prevent any more evil, please rest easy, find a place to sit, and the people from the government will arrive soon." Lin Hanyu was a little complacent and took on the position of order administrator on the side.
"Master?" Although Zheng Yuan's Chinese is not very smooth, it is no longer easy to use, just now he and Zhao Fu were crowded by the crowd, and in a chaotic battle just now, he eliminated three assassins who wanted to join the battle circle.
"It's fine." The beauty was in his arms, and Zhao Fu waved his hand to signal Zheng Yuan to "stay and go". And Xu Lingling has been hugged by Zhao Fu before...... Or press on his chest, now that Zhao Fu finally let go, he saw Zheng Yuan who was still stained with blood on his clothes at first glance, frowned slightly, and retracted into Zhao Fu's arms.
At this time, the frightened rebirth, I don't know where to shoot an arrow, and it shot straight towards Zhao Fu. Zheng Yuan couldn't see the arrow in the face of Zhao Fu, Lin Hanyu was clever, jumped up and reached out to grab the arrow, but the arrow was too fast, the strength was too great, he just held the arrow, and the arrow continued to shoot towards Zhao Fu from his hand.
However, with Lin Hanyu's grasp as a buffer, Zhao Fu had a lot more time to prepare, and he raised the knife that had not yet been sheathed and directly swept away the arrow that had slowed down significantly, and nailed it to a pillar.
"This guest is very sorry...... Frightened you. A waiter from the Moon Worship Tower got up, the previous chaos seemed to have injured him a little, but it didn't make him feel frightened, he still had a calm face, no! It should be dead silence!
The waiter suddenly burst into trouble, and with only one hand, he pushed Zhao Fu and Xu Lingling sideways to the railing - this is the real life for life, using the lives of those dead companions to reduce the vigilance of the enemy, and then the last assassin will complete the assassination for life.
