XXXVIII. Assassins

Thirty-eight Assassins

The spring breeze gently blows the city of Quanzhou, in the misty night, only sporadic lights shine on the city, the laughter and noise in the day have disappeared, most of the people have fallen asleep, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of spring. However, not all people can sleep peacefully, in a house in the inner courtyard of the prefect, although there is no light, but the owner of the room is still not sleepy, she lies quietly on the bed, her eyes are wide open, these days, every time in the dead of night, she will be extremely awake, the past scenes are like in front of her, but inch by inch to break people's intestines, can not forget, can not be thrown away, but there is nothing to do, can only endure, gritted teeth and endured a little bit, until the rooster crows, until the golden crow of the golden crow, Then I felt a little sleepy, but when I closed my eyes and was half asleep, tears seeped out one by one, wetting my face and my pillow.

Zhang Qingqing turned over on the bed, she knew that her room had been locked to death, in fact, it was just a matter of making amends, if she really wanted to go, he would definitely take her away, but she still didn't have the courage, she owed her father and mother she had to pay back, and she owed him no way in this life, if there is an afterlife, I hope she is no longer her, and I hope he is not him, the two of them have less suffering, more sweetness, get along simply, ordinary together, she doesn't want much, as long as they can meet and stay together in the next life, even if there is more suffering in this lifeNo matter how painful the ordeal is, she will endure it. In the dark, Zhang Qingqing sat up gently, leaned on the head of the bed, and couldn't help but think of that smiling face in his heart again, what is he doing now? Are you still smiling like you used to? Will he forget about himself anytime soon? His world is so big, he may just be a grain of sand raised by chance, and eventually he will pass without a trace and return to peace. Thinking of this, Zhang Qingqing suddenly felt a little unwilling, and tears couldn't help but flow down again. If he forgets himself, then what is the sweetness of the past, what is the former two by two and the heart is the same? But if he can't forget himself, will he be as depressed and depressed as himself, will he use wine to drown his sorrows and get drunk for a long time? If so, I would rather he forget himself, she will bear all the pain, I only hope that he can still be free and uninhibited, singing every day, I hope he can meet a better girl, love each other, and soothe the sorrow in his heart.

Zhang Qingqing leaned on the head of the bed like this, crying for a while and smiling for a while, as if she was crazy. In the quiet night, there was the sound of the wind blowing, the sound of flowers blooming, the sound of falling leaves, and the sound of unknown insects chirping, these sounds clearly came into Zhang Qingqing's ears, making her feel that the night was so long. Suddenly, she heard a few cuckoo calls, whispering softly, as if the bird had just woken up in a dream and unconsciously cried a few times, but Zhang Qingqing's heart beat faster, she tore off the blanket on her body, and stumbled to the window without caring about putting on her shoes, the window was locked firmly, but she still felt that the familiar breath was outside the window, so close and so close to her.

She lowered her voice and said, "Brother Yang, is it you?" ”

A figure fell from the window, and he pressed his body against the windowsill, as if he were one with the window, and did not look abrupt in the night.

A male voice sounded softly: "I just want to come over and see if you are doing well." ”

Zhang Qingqing's tears were like rain, no, I would rather die like this, but these words can only be suppressed in my heart, and I can't say a word, because she chose such a path by herself, and despite the pain, she has to go on.

Zhang Qingqing held back her sadness, and even tried her best to squeeze out a smile: "I'm fine, it's just that Brother Yang, it's me who has lost you and taught you empty joy." ”

The man's voice over there was muffled: "It's okay, it's me who wants to." ”

Although there is a lock on the window, for a man, even a flick of the lock will pop open, but what about after the pop open? Relatively speechless, weeping silently, since this is the case, it is better not to see. This lock locks not only the windows, but also the courage of the two of them.

Both of them were silent, but they both listened greedily to each other's breathing, at this time, it is superfluous to say anything, you understand what I think in my heart, I also know what you think in my heart, I will not stop the path you choose, I only hope that you will get what you want, and you will not regret what you have done today.

For a long time, the night is deep, the spring flowers are blooming, the spring breeze is blowing warmly, the night is so beautiful, some people are broken, and wash their faces with tears.

Finally, Zhang Qingqing heard the man outside the window say, "Qingqing, I'm leaving, take care." Then he said in a low voice: "If there is anything that needs help, as long as you open your mouth, I will never give up." After finishing speaking, the figure unfolded, like a big bird, gently swinging, blending with the night, leaving Zhang Qingqing sad and sweet in the house.

The man's body jumped up, and there was no sound in the lonely night, but in a few corners of the back house, several pairs of eyes were firmly locked on him. The man leaned down on a tree, as if looking for something, and after a while, he rose from the tree, fell to another tree, and then gently slid down the tree to a side room, which was the room of Zhang Hansheng's most favored concubine Chang Ruyu, he put his ear to the window, and listened quietly for a while, only to hear the loud snoring of the man in the room, the man hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to push the window open, and then suddenly heard the sound of a gong: "There are assassins." ”

Suddenly, six or seven figures jumped out of the corner like ghosts, and surrounded the man in the middle, and the man could not help but be taken aback, and he swung his body and climbed up the tree, and his body was light and fast, and in an instant he stepped on the branch and swung to another tree. The six or seven people around him were not weak in kung fu, and in the blink of an eye, they also climbed the tree, and the knives and guns in their hands struck at the man with his head and face, the man was not panicked, his body was as light as a swallow, his hands and feet were nimble, and he came and went freely in the sword light and sword shadow, although there were many people around him, he was unscathed, but he couldn't break through from the crowd for a while. When there was a stalemate, the courtyard was brightly lit, illuminating the inner house as if it was daytime, and the messenger who was keeping vigil in the government also heard the news and ran over, everyone carried lanterns, and saw six or seven people dressed in messenger clothes fighting around a man in black, and the man in black who was surrounded in the middle was dressed in black, with a face towel covering his face, and he couldn't see his eyebrows clearly.

Seeing that there were more and more errands coming, the man in black was a little anxious, he took a look, took advantage of the fact that the errand officer on the opposite side was not guarded, and snatched the big knife in his hand with one hand, the knife light slipped, and Shengsheng forced the errand around him to retreat half a step, and took advantage of the blink of an eye, he turned his body vertically, and disappeared into the darkness after a few times, leaving only Zhang Hansheng, who got up in a hurry, looked inexplicable, and all the errand soldiers were like a great enemy, surrounding him in the middle. Everyone was in a panic in the courtyard, and no one paid attention to the corner of the courtyard, two black-clothed people stuck to the corner of the wall, and jumped out of the wall with a slight vertical, but their bodies chased in the direction of the black-clothed man who fled.

The two of them were very good at kung fu, and in less than a while, they caught up with the man in black, and the two of them fell vertically, and actually sandwiched the man in black in the middle, and the man in black saw that the two of them caught up with him, and knew that the other party must be a master, so he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy at all, and cut it out with a knife, holding a knife in one hand and aiming it at the man in black in front of him, and forming a fist with the other hand to prevent the man in black from sneaking up. The man in black in front saw the man in black holding a knife against him, and he did not hesitate to pull out a big knife from behind, and pulled out a bright and shining golden knife, and the man in black behind also took out a long chain from his body and wrapped it around his hand, it turned out that these two people were Ding Si and Hu Runze, the two discussed and followed Zhang Hansheng closely, so they secretly ambushed Zhang Hansheng's side, but at night, a man in black appeared, the man in black first stayed in front of Zhang Qingqing's boudoir for a long time, and then sneaked to the front of Chang's house, And Zhang Hansheng happened to be staying in Chang's house tonight, the two didn't know what the man in black wanted to do, and at this moment they heard the messenger of the nursing home shouting loudly, "There is an assassin", and the man in black was quite skilled, and he retreated calmly under the siege of everyone, Ding Si and Hu Runze followed the man in black, hurried slowly, and finally caught up with the man in black.

Ding Si and Hu Runze have cooperated for so long, they have already had a tacit understanding, Hu Runze waved the chain, and smashed it at the man in black with the sound of the wind, the man in black leaned back, and Ding Si's big knife suddenly slashed at him, the man in black hurriedly used the big knife in his hand to stand up, I didn't expect Ding Si's big knife to be a golden knife given by the emperor, it was really sharpened like clay, and it was cut off at once, the man in black was taken aback, and twisted his body in a hurry, Ding Si's big knife slashed down his back, and Hu Runze waved the iron chain over there, and wrapped it around his arm. Rao is the man in black is strong in kung fu, but Ding Si and Hu Runze are both experienced in a hundred battles, the man in black gradually fell behind, he was in a hurry to escape, but Ding Si and Hu Runze blocked his retreat to death, he had no chance to escape, Ding Si and Hu Runze saw that he had been blocked, and the weapons in their hands danced more and more fiercely, just thinking about capturing the man in black alive, leaving room for every move.

Just when the man in black was in a hurry, a loud shout suddenly came: "Look." With this shout, a cloud of white mist rolled over, Ding Si and Hu Runze didn't expect that there was an accident suddenly, seeing a cloud of mist rolled up for fear that it would be poisonous inside, they quickly covered their mouths and noses, and at this moment, they saw a person jumping in from outside, holding the man in black with one hand, and was about to flee into the distance. Ding Si hurriedly flew to block, Hu Runze on the side waved the iron chain, and smashed the thunderbolt at the man in black, although the two reacted quickly, but after all, they lost the opportunity, and saw the man in black dodge lightly, jumped up, and jumped out with the person, and then the person dispersed a white mist, and when the smoke dissipated, the man in black and the person behind him had long disappeared.
