The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the weather is dry, which is a good weather for arson and a good cover for killing.

Darkness shrouded Yongcheng, and there was no fire, only a few teams of soldiers patrolling the streets holding torches, and points of light illuminated the outline of the city.

The government of Yongcheng is still heavily guarded by soldiers to beware of villains; However, this was limited to the outside of the door, and the soldiers inside the door were much more relaxed, and they did not think that any of the villains had the intention to assassinate.

"Click-"

The sound of inscrutable footsteps crossed the spacious courtyard, and there were only a dozen or so people in the courtyard, so tired that they didn't notice the presence of the black shadow at all. The shadow breathed a sigh of relief and crept through the courtyard.

The black shadow was none other than Wu Jia in a night suit. Because he was afraid that Zhaoyun would defect to the enemy and betray the country, he had no way out, so he came up with such a bad idea as assassinating Ying Qian! When the time comes, throw this pot to Zhaoyun, how can he still surrender to the enemy?

But he forgot that this trip was for the messenger, and if he killed Ying Qian, their mission would not be yellow?

Wu Jia obviously didn't realize this, and with the help of walking around the palace this afternoon to master the basic structure of the building, he walked to the main hall with ease. The lights had been turned off in the main hall, and only four guards were bored, and Wu Jia concluded that Ying Qian had gone back to sleep.

Ying Qian's inner room was behind the main hall, and the soldiers were not allowed to enter in the afternoon, and Wu Jia didn't know what it looked like inside, so he could only carefully touch the roof and observe carefully.

There were obviously a lot more guards in the inner courtyard, Wu Jia was not in a hurry, his eagle-like gaze passed through one house after another, and finally, his gaze fell on one of the brightest rooms.

According to common sense, the lights will not be turned off in the inner chambers of important people, because they may get up at any time to deal with political affairs or meet others, and it will be too time-consuming to light the lights at that time.

Wu Jia slowly touched the wooden eaves, fortunately, this palace is not a tiled house structure, otherwise he would have stepped on it with his physique.

When he came to the top of the room where Ying Qian was, his hanging heart finally relaxed. Pulling out the dagger at his waist, Wu Jia's eyes instantly became fierce, as if he was bound to win this operation.

"Don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for not co-opting him!"

……

Yingqian's mask was still not taken off, he used to hide his face out of shame, but today, he wears it out of pride.

He leaned on the couch in a wide nightgown, and from time to time took bamboo slips from a few cases on the side to read; He was very quiet, so quiet that the soldiers waiting outside the door looked inside the house from time to time to make sure that he had no accidents.

Rubbing his sore eyes, after reading the last bamboo slip, Ying Qian finally fell asleep slowly, the day's work was too tiring, and he had to get up early tomorrow......

"Brush—"

"Huh?"

Ying Qian has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and although he is old, the slightest sound from outside the house cannot escape his ears. He was about to get up to check the situation outside, but suddenly heard two heavy objects falling to the ground, and after a while, a man dressed in black slowly walked in.

Ying Qian's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "Assassin? ”

Wu Jia held a short dagger in his hand, slowly examined this person, and couldn't help sneering in his heart: "It turns out that it's just an old man!" I thought he was a great person, but it saved me a lot of effort. ”

The dagger suddenly pointed, only about a meter away from Ying Qian's neck, and Wu Jia said arrogantly: "I am here to take your life today!" ”

Ying Qian thought to himself: "Could it be Shang Ying's henchmen?" No, aren't all that guy's doormen dead? What's more, ten years have passed, why are you looking for revenge at this moment? Unable to think of an answer, Ying Qian could only ask, "What enmity do I have against you?" ”

"No grievances, no hatred!"

"No grievance, no revenge, then why did you come to kill me?"

Wu Jia shrugged his shoulders and sneered, "Just by the orders of the Lord!" ”

"Bong...... Host? Ying Qian's face was cloudy, "You tell me who asked you to come, I have a lot of money!" ”

"Less nonsense, die!"

Wu Jia didn't talk nonsense with him at all, there were so many soldiers outside, he just wanted to kill Ying Qian quickly and sort out the scene, and then blame Zhaoyun.

The blade unsheathed, cutting through the air without the slightest sound; However, Ying Qian did not panic, and a hint of banter flashed on the old man's face, as if mocking the young rat in the cage.

"I gave you a chance......"

"Dang!"

Ying Qian was extremely fast, pulled out the sword at the head of the bed like a wind, and swung it at Wu Jia with a big sword, just blocking Wu Jia's dagger. Wu Jia took two steps back under gravity, and couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect this ancient old man to have such a strong force!

"Hugh wants to underestimate the old Qin people!" Win Qian shouted, like a lion roaring in Hexi, and the movement shocked the mountain!

The Qin people were martial, especially the nobles, who began to learn martial arts and archery when they first learned to walk. Although Ying Qian is old, his martial arts are not unfamiliar, even if he goes to the battlefield, he can kill dozens of enemy soldiers!

Ying Qian's violent drinking had already alarmed the soldiers outside the house, they shouted "protect the general" on the one hand, and rushed to the house with knives and guns on the other, and more than 20 people surrounded the house, intending to capture the thief, but they were afraid of hurting Ying Qian, and did not dare to act rashly.

Seeing that he couldn't be delayed, Wu Jia had to fight against the water, and shouted: "What is the old Qin people? I haven't heard of it! Stinky old man, don't think you're so powerful! ”

Wu Jia is good at martial arts, even if he doesn't have a sword, a short dagger is still danced by him. Ying Qian was unhurried, and slowly cracked Wu Jia's offensive with one move, which made Wu Jia more and more impatient, and there were more and more flaws.

"You are such a martial artist...... Can you be an assassin too? ”

Hearing Ying Qian's ridicule, Wu Jia's face suddenly turned red, his martial arts were among the top three in the Tho Kingdom, but he didn't expect that entering the Qin Kingdom would be so worthless! Only now did he understand what it meant to be a frog at the bottom of a well, and what it meant to sit in a well and watch the sky!

“…… The breathing is fast, the rhythm of the attack is problematic, and the next game is not stable enough...... Tsk, too weak, too weak! ”

The more Wu Jia listened, the more annoyed he became, but he didn't know that this was a method of agitation to win piety. The angrier Wu Jia became, the more chaotic the attack became, and the more beneficial it was for Ying Qian. Sure enough, after a few more rounds of fighting, Ying Qian saw the flaw and stabbed Wu Jia in the left shoulder with a sword.

Wu Jia was in pain, and involuntarily took a few steps backwards behind him, but this gave the soldiers who were waiting outside the door a chance. They rushed forward in a hurry, held Wu Jia down to death, and successfully captured him alive.

Ying Qian looked at those eyes coldly and said, "Lift the mask!" ”

As soon as the black cloth flew away, someone immediately made a suspicious voice, and Ying Qian hurriedly asked, "Do you know each other?" ”

The soldier said, "General Hui, this ...... This seems to be the retinue of the young man Zhao who came today. ”

"Zhao Gongzi...... Zhaoyun? ”

Ying Qian could hardly believe the name he heard, this guy was Zhaoyun's subordinate...... Could it be that Zhaoyun sent him?

"Escort down, interrogation!"

……

The next day at dawn Zhaoyun woke up, yesterday because he was injured and couldn't go back, and slept with Aruno, this guy snored at night, and Zhaoyun barely fell asleep.

The medicine given by Sarcher was quite effective, and the wound scabbed over after sleeping on his back overnight, as long as he was not infected with rabies, this small injury was a trivial matter for Zhaoyun.

Because he didn't bring a sword, Zhaoyun could only practice breathing in the courtyard, and the air in the morning was the cleanest, so he quickly took two more breaths before everyone got up.

It has been more than a month since he left the country, and he has barely reached the Qin country, and the medicinal materials he needs have been collected in the Baoxie Valley, as long as he completes the task of Xianyang, he can send a letter to the north of Guguan and go to the Zhao country to continue collecting medicine.

"Tygar?"

Sachel also got up early, and when he saw Zhaoyun practicing martial arts in the courtyard, he came over with a smile: "It's really early, Gelanduo is still lying on the couch and sleeping soundly!" ”

Zhaoyun smiled politely and continued to contact Tuna, but Sachel did not leave, and suddenly asked, "Taijia, are you a Qiang?" ”

"Why do you ask?"

Zhaoyun was puzzled, he had never said that he was a Qiang, why did Archer suddenly ask that? Although he is not a Qiang person, he is of the same origin as Qiang, and he is also half a Qiang person.

"Your name means 'chaoyang' in Xijon, so I wondered if you would be a Qiang. ”

It was the first time Zhaoyun had heard that his name had this meaning! Why haven't you heard anyone mention it before?

Come to think of it, the names of the children in the clan are all taken by the elders, and Gong Changqiu is the only one who can speak multiple languages, so maybe he is the only one who understands what everyone's name means.

Gong Changqiu has always said that Zhaoyun is the son of God, and it is no wonder that he named Chaoyang as a representative of the rise of the tribe.

"I'm not a Qiang, I'm a Di." Zhaoyun said without concealment.

"Di Qiang is a family, Di people are Qiang people!" Hearing that Zhaoyun was of the same race as them, Sachel couldn't help laughing, as if he had let go of his burden, "How old are you this year?" ”

"Immediately twelve, why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Uh...... Twelve? You, you're twelve? ”

Sarcher looked at Zhaoyun in disbelief, such a sturdy young man, saying that he believed it himself at fifteen or sixteen, twelve ...... How could she believe it?

"I won't hide it from you, I'm really twelve!" Zhaoyun smiled bitterly, "I'm just looking older, maybe by the time I'm fifteen or sixteen, I'll look like twenty-five or sixteen." ”

Sarcher laughed awkwardly, as if thinking about something, and could only hold back the words that had just reached his mouth...... It's only twelve, which seems too early.

He can't afford to take on such a big responsibility!

After the topic was over, Sarcher went to another room to make breakfast, and Zhaoyun continued to practice in the courtyard, but after a while, the sound of armor trembling came. At first, Zhaoyun didn't care, but after only a moment, his face became strange.

The sound of the armor shaking...... Seems to be heading here.

With such a narrow alley, how could there be a patrol here? Without waiting for him to think about it, sure enough, a small group of patrolmen slowly walked to the door of Golando's house, and the first one asked, "Is this it?" ”

The soldier on the side hurriedly replied: "Exactly, the woman who came to find Zhao Gongzi yesterday lives here...... Ah, isn't that Zhao Gongzi? ”

Seeing that he was looking for her, Zhaoyun didn't think much about it, and greeted him with a smile and asked, "Are you looking for me?" ”

"You're Zhaoyun?" The first person asked coldly with a solemn face.

"yes, what are you looking for me?"

The man waved his hand and shouted softly, "Take it for me!" ”
