Chapter Seventy-Four: There Are Assassins

Qingluo is eighteen years old this year, she is a member of Yingchuan Changshe, and her mother starved to death in her early years. Later, because Er Zhuzhao and others made a big fuss in Luoyang, he and his father fled to Guanzhong with two younger sisters and a younger brother. Later, my father died of illness because of working for the landlord, in order to support her younger siblings 14-year-old Qingluo had to find a way to come out to make money, at first she relied on petty theft to get some food and drink back, the family can barely survive, but there are many misses, so she is often beaten.

As stubborn as a boy when she was a child, her father sent her to learn some kung fu from a master in the village, so she was very proficient in dagger weapons. But as she grew older, slowly this little girl became more and more delicate, and some indiscriminate sons and scoundrels in the village wanted to take advantage of her, and in the end, she was cleaned up one by one and obeyed, as if she had become a local female bully.

She later fell into Guanzhong and became famous for stealing, why do you say that. Once when she was stealing in the back kitchen of the government office, she was found by the patrolling officers and soldiers and blocked inside, more than a dozen officials were stunned and failed to rush in, she picked up a dustpan of soybeans as a hidden weapon and knocked them all to the ground, and since then in Huazhou, Yongzhou has known the existence of this little snitch. Therefore, Qingluo's kung fu is still very good, but because she has no famous teacher to guide her, her routines always don't look like a serious practitioner, but like a messy trick learned by a stealing teacher.

At the age of sixteen, Yuwentai led the army into the customs and did something that affected Qingluo's life: recruited some heroes in the green forest in the rivers and lakes and organized them into an assassin killer group: Xiaoyao Pavilion. Specially did some assassination operations for Yu Wentai that could not be put on the table. Yuwentai was able to enter the Guannai from a foreign warlord in just a few years, and this Xiaoyao Pavilion also made great efforts. It stands to reason that with Qingluo's skills, he will not be able to enter the high-end killer group of Xiaoyao Pavilion. However, Yuwentai was ingenious, he must engage a few beautiful assassins, disguise themselves as Kabuki, and send them all to Hebei to spy on the confidential information within the Gao Huan Group.

Qingluo is because of her reputation as a thief and people say that she is a beautiful embryo, so she is honored to be selected by the boss of Xiaoyao Pavilion. Half a year of intensive training and Qingluo can endure hardships in the later stage, and her brain is also smart, so in a short time for the task, she mixed with the hall master of the Qinglong Hall of Xiaoyao Pavilion. Now she can rely on her "salary" to support her younger brothers and sisters, and she no longer has to steal chickens and dogs and do indiscriminate things.

It is always difficult for a female assassin like a flower to survive in troubled times, and Nan Batian, the pavilion master of Xiaoyao Pavilion, who is in her fifties, has long coveted her and wants to take her as a concubine. But she would rather die than give in several times and almost killed the pavilion master, so the old hooligan Nan Batian was annoyed and ashamed, and often handed over some very dangerous tasks to Qingluo to complete, which was also a kind of revenge against her.

But every time, Qingluo can turn the danger into a disaster and successfully complete the task. So this time the task of going to the grassland to assassinate Sun Teng was also handed over to her to complete. For the sake of her younger siblings to live a good life, Qingluo has no choice but to accept the tasks sent by the organization, you think, an assassin with the identity of a hall master generally doesn't need to go out on a mission in person, but because Nan Batian is in the way, she can only swallow her anger and complete all kinds of impossible tasks under him.

This mission to assassinate Sun Teng was originally hand-to-hand for Qingluo, and there was no pressure to catch it. But then Gao Huan unexpectedly showed her true body, which made her feel that this was a good opportunity given to her by God, if she could kill the main target in addition to that, then Prime Minister Yuwen (after the emperor fled into Guanzhong, he canonized Yuwentai as the great prime minister of the imperial court) should reward her, then she can take this huge amount of money and disappear into the rivers and lakes with her younger brothers and sisters, she has long longed for the life of Bashu Tianfu.

So when Gao Huan and Sun Teng left from the Rouran Royal Court, she followed them from a distance, and within a relatively safe distance, she tried to find an opportunity to get close to Gao Huan and kill him.

But along the way, Gao Huan returned to his heart like an arrow, walked non-stop day and night for three days and three nights, and returned to Huaishuo Town, one of the six towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty, from the Mobei grassland, and made Gao Huan and Sun Teng and others feel a lot of emotion in their hometowns, thinking that they all started their dream road from Huaishuo Town, and now everyone has a successful career and a happy family, only Sima Ziru is still in the corner of the world, saying that Gao Huan is actually very sour in his heart: he misses his mother in his previous life.

After a few years in a hurry, everything is as vivid as yesterday's yellow flowers, but many things are things and people, some of which are good and some are bad, for example, Ruyi's death is the biggest pain in this life in Gao Huan's opinion.

Gao Huan and Sun Teng were drinking and thinking about their hearts in the inn without saying a word, this is a petite man who came in from outside the door, Xiao Er saw the guests and hurriedly went up to greet them: "Guest officer, are you sharpening or staying in the hotel?" ”

Gao Huan raised his head and just made eye contact with this guest, only to see that the guest man was five short in stature, looking relatively petite, with white skin and a gloomy face. It seems to be unmasculine and slightly girly. Gao Huan didn't pay much attention to it, just continued to drink by himself, and Sun Teng, who was sleeping, couldn't help but whisper: "This little brother can't be a singer, he looks so white, like a little white face." ”

Yes, isn't it strange that there are such white and petite offspring haunts in this wild frontier? But at this time, Gao Huan has his own thoughts, and he can't think about it. Sun Teng was looking at this posterity with the eyes of a courtesan, and he didn't know that this person was the assassin who came to take his life: Qingluo disguised.

Qingluo sat silently at two tables away from them, and said in a low voice with Xiao Er: "Give Ye a plate of beef, a plate of peanuts, and a pot of burning knives." Be quick. ”

The two tables on Gao Huan's side were full, and the scabbards they carried were placed under the table, and those who were eating and drinking looked at them in fright, avoiding them from afar. At this time, there were not many customers in the store, and Qingluo took the opportunity to do it.

As soon as he wanted to throw out his hand, he saw two Fanbang women walking in one after the other, and the people who came were none other than Princess Rouran and her personal maid Ayima.

As soon as Gao Huan looked up, he saw this little wrongdoer coming straight to him, with surprise and confusion written on his face. Hurriedly got up and asked, "You...... How did you guys get here? Seeing this, Sun Teng turned around and looked stupid. What kind of trouble did this princess make?

"Are you embarrassed to say that you ran away without explaining clearly? I don't want to do it, I'm going to follow you to Yecheng, I'm going to your house, I'm going to be with you. The curvaceous and majestic self decided everything, and basically ignored the depressed and speechless expressions of Sun Teng and Gao Huan.

"My little aunt, didn't I go back to prepare to marry you? What's the matter with you just following along? Khan, does he agree? "Gao Huan really has nothing to say about the curvaceous princess's self-assertion, it's just nonsense!

"Now that you are still called Khan, shouldn't you call your father-in-law according to the name of your Han people? Besides, Abba also agreed that I would come out to you. Curvaceous looked at Gao Huan with a sworn face.

Gao Huan's heart is like a mirror, and he said that you can't even make up nonsense, and the little girl still wants to lie to me. said: "I know this, I'm not worried about you, nothing happened along the way, right?" ”

The two of you and I said soft words one by one, and the people on the side were stunned, none of them could understand a word, Sun Teng said anxiously: "Why did the princess come with her, how did the Khan explain?" There will be no surprises. ”

"It's okay, I've already asked, but I don't know how the princess knows our walking route, how did she meet here?" Gao Huan said the question in his heart, it is true that their whereabouts and trajectories are erratic, and it stands to reason that no one can know that they will stay in Huaishuo.

The princess didn't answer Gao Huan's question directly, but just pretended to be very tired and said, "I want to rest, you can take me to the room." With that, he took Gao Huan's arm and went upstairs to the guest room. Everyone is snickering, and the daughter-in-law, who has not yet passed the door, is now impatient to sleep with the lord.

Gao Huan straightened his collar, cleared his throat and said, "You guys are laughing at fart, you are all eating and drinking here honestly." He said to Sun Teng again: "Second brother, you are also here." The three of them went upstairs with the maid Ayima and an attendant guard. Qingluo saw everything in her eyes, got up and asked Xiao Er, "Driver, where is this thatched house?" Xiao Er hurriedly pointed to the backyard and said, "There is a small door on the side of the stable when you turn left when you go out, just go out." Qingluo walked towards the backyard without saying a word.

After entering the room, she hurriedly walked to the window and pushed open a small crack to look outside, Gao Huan and Sun Teng were very puzzled, and then the princess walked to the door and took a closer look, and let the maid Ayima squat in front of the window. After all the arrangements were made, Gao Huan was pulled to the table and sat down, and then leaned over and whispered in his ear, Gao Huan was shocked at first, and then had a suspicious expression, and Sun Teng on the side also asked very anxiously: "Lord, is there anything going on with prosperity?" ”

Gao Huan turned to Sun Teng and said softly, "We were followed. Sun Teng let out a loud cry in surprise, Gao Huan hurriedly covered his mouth, lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Don't shout, shhh With that, he raised his index finger and gestured towards Sun Teng.

"But we ...... Why didn't we notice it at all? Who will track us? Sun Teng has a lot of questions now. Gao Huan could only answer one by one: "The princess said that this person has been following us all the way out of the palace and following us all the way to this inn. The specific identity is not clear, and it is still impossible to distinguish whether it is friend or foe. ”

"Oh my God, in this inn?" Sun Teng was already frightened, and hurriedly asked, "There are not many people in this inn, who could it be?" ”

"Who? It's the little white face you just mentioned! Gao Huan was a little unbelieving at first, but now that he thinks about it, there are indeed many suspicious things about this little white face appearing here. The time, place, and characters are not right, and it is very problematic.

"No, how is that possible? It doesn't look like it. Sun Teng still didn't believe it, the little white face who looked weak would have the courage to follow them all the way, which was a bit of a fantasy.

"People can't be good-looking, second brother, I see that you usually see too many beautiful singers, and now you don't have any eyesight for the world, we might as well be a princess of Fanbang?" Gao Huan said a little self-deprecatingly, which made Sun Teng a little unhappy when he heard this, but it was not easy to attack. But the princess seemed to understand the second half of the Chinese language, and immediately looked at Gao Huan angrily and said, "Who do you say is the princess of Fanbang?" You Han mule! Believe it or not, whip you thirty horsewhips. ”

Gao Huan laughed dumbly when he heard this, and begged for mercy again and again in a soft language: "My little ancestor, I said the wrong thing, you can spare me." Sun Teng didn't have the heart to laugh and play with him now, so he hurriedly said to Gao Huan: "Lord, what should we do now?" ”

"What to do? Cold! Gao Huan confidently picked up the teapot on the table, poured water and took a sip of tea, and then said leisurely: "Now that we are in the bright and the people are in the dark, let's see what this person wants to do." ”

When Sun Teng heard this, there was nothing he could do, and it was very dangerous to be beaten passively, but in view of the current situation, he could only do so first.
