Chapter 587: Disciple
"I swear in the name of my ancestors that sooner or later I will kill you, the devil...... Devil! ”
Jinan, in the back garden of the Overseer's Mansion. The princess who has not yet grown new teeth www.biquge.info is cursing someone through gritted teeth. Behind her, several boys and girls younger than her, like ass-worms, lined up in a long line, closely following her footsteps.
The boy who walked in the third place jumped over the two girls in front of him, ran to Anna's side, and pulled her skirt flatteringly, "Sister, sister, who are you going to kill?" Tell me and I'll help you! ”
As soon as the words fell, Princess Tiele, who was losing her temper, stretched out her hand violently, grabbed the ears of the Zhao family's son, and slammed it in the opposite direction
"I said it, don't spoil the formation! How dare you disobey my commands! You say, shouldn't you be punished? ”
Jingci, the lawless little overlord in the inner house, fell into the hands of this Princess Tieler, but like a mouse meeting a cat, he didn't dare to resist at all, so he could only desperately shout for his sister to help. Filial piety and love were on the side and said: "Come on, sister, come on!" "Comfort Ci was the least daring, and he was about to cry when he opened his mouth, but when he was yelled at by Anna, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to cry.
The children of the Zhao family don't have many playmates, most of them play with themselves, otherwise, they just add a Ah Jiu who doesn't dare to lose his temper no matter how much he bullies. After Anna arrived at the Zhao family, this foreign girl, who was also like a doll, became an excellent playmate for the Zhao family's children.
According to Zhao Guanhou, the children of my family are the most difficult enemies in the world to deal with, as long as you can clean them up, there is nothing you can't take care of. Therefore, Anna became the Zhao family's young nanny and the new head of the family's children.
Her physical fitness was already excellent, and on the way to escape, she learned to fight, ride a horse, and she was older than several children, so it didn't take long for her to establish her position as the head of her children in the inner house. Even if Jingci is a naughty bag, if it falls into her hands, it will only be cleaned up.
Since she entered the Zhao house, the status of the girls of the Zhao family has risen greatly, and by the way, the boys have suffered more. Although Wei Ci was not beaten, after being rectified by Anna a few times, she was more afraid of her than her brother, and when she glared at her, she was frightened and hid behind her sister.
After Anna cleaned up her respects, she dispersed the anger she had received from Zhao Guanhou a little, and threw a stone into the pearl spring with hatred. "He is the devil incarnate, he must be! If it weren't for the devil, how could he have come up with so many hateful ways to torture me. Sooner or later, I'll let him know what monster he's taught! ”
Along the way, Anna also learned a lot of things, learning etiquette from the noblewomen around her and self-defense from the guards. In her opinion, she is stronger than all children of the same age, and Zhao Guanhou's training will definitely be able to cope with it. But it wasn't until the start of training that she realized she had been wrong.
She may be better than children of the same age, but Zhao Guanhou didn't train her as a child at all. Power, speed, reflexes, grappling, shooting. These exercises are all based on adult standards, and even if she is physically good, it will be difficult for her to cope. Feng Zhi and Feng Xi were responsible for teaching her boxing, Sun Meiyao also taught her horseback riding and some knife skills, and Zhao Guanhou taught her the simplest killing techniques.
Originally, in Anna's opinion, killing is the result of shooting or fighting, but in Zhao Guanhou's eyes, killing is an out-and-out art. Whether it's martial arts or shooting, they're actually just two insignificant categories in the art of killing. According to him
"There are thousands of ways to kill people, and the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, which is the most unaesthetic. It's just that it's the simplest and easiest to be effective, so many people follow it. In fact, killing should be artistic, and that is the highest level we should pursue. For example, the other person treats you as a best friend, and you put poison in his wine while you drink and sing. The more clever means is that you start a business together, and then you take away his money, and then borrow usury in his name, forcing him to commit suicide by jumping off the building, and his hands are not stained with blood from beginning to end, which can be regarded as touching the edge of beauty. ”
The training program based on the aesthetic sense made Anna feel like she had fallen into a bottomless abyss. The heavy schoolwork weighed her breathlessly. Painting, piano, foreign languages, and even mathematics. These subjects that she was not interested in at all were also counted by Zhao Guanhou as homicidal techniques, not only to learn, but also to learn results. If the performance is not up to standard, a cruel punishment will be met: playing P-shares.
Perhaps it was a regret caused by not being able to bear to beat his own child, but Zhao Guanhou would not show mercy when he beat this disciple's P shares. According to him, "Do you hate when you are beaten?" Hate is right. You want to kill me and get revenge. What kind of goal is it to kill that unscrupulous tsar, to train with the goal of killing me, so that it makes sense. No matter what means you use, as long as you can kill me, go and exercise. ”
It wasn't until after a hard beating on Jing Ci's p-shares that Anna's resentment was a little lesser, and a smug smile appeared on her face
"If you beat me, I will beat your son, and sooner or later, I will beat you like this little fool! I'm no longer the little pumpkin I used to be, but a big girl! ”
Then she thought about the guards around her.
From Tiele all the way to Shandong, there were not many guards left around her, they were loyal and brave and good at fighting, but under the continuous pursuit of the Assassins, losses were inevitable. In addition to training her, Zhao Guanhou also formulated a new training plan for those guards, and in Anna's opinion, those training subjects and requirements can only be described as inhumane. God knows how many people will be left after such a toss.
In charge of training them was a Prussian named Reinstein. How could the noble royal guard of Tiele accept the command of a Prussian, let alone endure a verbal bombardment far more uncomfortable than a leather whip. Anna quietly went to see the training twice, and then added Ryanstein's name to the kill list. What's even more hateful, in a short period of time, with the support and mediation of Zhao Guanhou, there is already a pair of twin sisters who have become the underground lovers of this vicious instructor. That's a dignified Tiele nobleman, this kind of behavior is simply a blasphemy against Tieler!
Out of mission and loyalty to the royal family, more than that, it is expected that Ryan Stein will eat leather shoes in public. No one withdrew from training, but gritted their teeth and persevered. Anna has a sense of guilt for these remnant guards, and she is indispensable to comfort them. However, the words of the current captain of the guard made her very pleased, "Perhaps, you can consider remembering our name." I have a feeling that if St. Petersburg sends another Assassin, we can exchange one life for each other's five. ”
From this point of view, the devil is not useless, just as Anna was just thinking this, a voice suddenly appeared behind her, "You beat my son again today?" Then she was grabbed by the hair and ran forward several steps. Fingers, almost to her forehead.
"Tell me, can you grow up, you can't find some adults to bully, do you have to bully the weak? If you have the ability, go and hit the adult. ”
"Nope! Always look for targets that are weaker than you so you can avoid getting hurt! Anna retorted with a raised face, Jingci saw her father come forward, and did not come out to complain, but pleaded: "Don't beat my sister...... We're joking. ”
Zhao Guanhou ignored his son's plea, and slapped Anna's head, Anna stared with wide eyes, and had no intention of backing down. Then, her head was crumpled into a pile of grass.
"That's right, fighting the strong is not as interesting as bullying the weak. I realized this step so quickly, and I was qualified to be my apprentice. Go, as a reward, I'll take you outside for a walk and treat you to something delicious. ”
Because a large number of wealthy Tiele people moved to the city, Jinan specially opened a flavor restaurant street, in short, it is a place to earn money from Tiele people. Here, there are not only Shandong-style snacks, but also authentic Tiele diet can be enjoyed.
Anna fled all the way, after all, she had to hide her traces, and the more she was on the land, the more she had to find ways to disguise herself. Like now, putting on a dress and swaggering around is already a memory of a long time ago. Zhao Guanhou took her hand, and the two of them wandered on the street, businessmen or pedestrians, and they didn't feel strange about this kind of little girl. If you like to read the newspaper, no one will not know the handsome, bow and salute from afar, or take out food to pay respect.
"You see, this is the benefit of being a handsome, eat whatever you want, take whatever you want, and don't have to give money." Zhao Guanhou said as he walked to a stall selling oil spins, and a few people who were originally sitting here to eat quickly got up to give way to their seats, and then ran away with a smoke.
Anna has never eaten this kind of Shandong snack before, no matter how much her mind is stronger than her peers, she will inevitably show a look of concern in the face of food. Zhao Guanhou's hand slapped on her head, "Don't just look at the food, tell me, what you saw along the way." ”
"Food, vendors, and my subjects...... And uneasiness" Anna desperately remembered, suddenly, she thought of something. It's a reaction that comes from being chased along the way. Whenever the Assassin approached, she felt her hair stand on end, and her heart felt as if something had grabbed her, and she felt chills all over her body.
Since entering China, this feeling has disappeared, but on the way, this feeling has come again. But it only felt like a moment, and then it returned to normal, and she only thought it was an illusion. It wasn't until Zhao Guanhou asked her to think about it that she realized that feeling ...... Here it is, indeed.
There was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, and Zhao Guanhou took her hand
"With me here, don't be afraid. Your sixth sense is strong, much stronger than mine. It's a great talent that guarantees you a long life. But it's not enough to be talented, you also have to learn to observe. I've taught you a lot of things, but they'll only make your spear sharper, not your shield. Whether it is a tsar or a serf, in the face of bullets, they are all equally vulnerable. is capable, but he still can't carry a bullet. If you want to live long, you must first learn to observe. I'll tell you the truth, when it comes to killing, Master, I'm pretty good at it now, but in the past, ...... I'm not good yet, I'm better at analyzing, observing, aftercare, plus making plans. These things can guarantee that I will live a long time, and they can also guarantee that I can send a few more people to the western sky. I'll take you around again, remembering, to find out what bothers you. ”
Anna's face changed, and of course she understood what was unsettling her. Tieler's assassin actually chased him to Shandong so quickly? The terrifying memories along the way, the departure of her loved ones, everyone who was good to her will die in this attack to protect her, is it the turn of the man in front of her again.
Although she once vowed to kill him, now, she only felt a heat in her eyes and a sour nose. She shook her head and whispered, "No...... Don't go ......."
"Don't be afraid, with me, no one can hurt you. How can you defeat these guys if you don't face them head-on? I don't want my apprentice to be a coward who can only be scared, and when I encounter an enemy, I can kill him. Come with me. ”
Zhao Guanhou patted the table, motioned to the boss to leave a seat for him, pulled up Anna and walked back, Tiele people still had to salute Zhao Guanhou. As for Anna, her identity is kept secret, although the nobles of Tiele know that the little princess is there, but there are not many people who know her true identity, and most people don't recognize her.
One by one, the stalls walked by, men, women and children, full of colors. Faces swirled in front of Anna, dazzling her. At one point, she wanted to run away, but when she encountered an assassin, it became almost an instinctive reaction. But immediately, Zhao Guanhou's hand added strength and tightened his grip. The heat transmitted from that hand dispelled the chill, and the fear that lingered in my heart was disappearing little by little.
Unafraid...... Don't be afraid of anything. She muttered in her heart, as long as she was by this man's side, she didn't have to be afraid of anything.
Suddenly, that feeling struck again, this time the feeling was even stronger than Fang Cai's glimpse, as if a sharp blade was stabbing at the face. Anna almost screamed and ran away, running away from all the demons, wherever she was, as long as she got away from the devils.
She shook off Zhao Guanhou's arm violently, opened her mouth, and screamed in surprise: "It's them...... That's them! ”
It was a Chinese couple, in their forties, and their appearance was unremarkable. The man has a bit of honest appearance, runs a wonton shop in the snack street, he is very honest, and he doesn't dare to reply when he is bullied. His woman is also a quiet person, and she is also a well-known honest person on the whole street.
When Anna's hand pointed at them, the two seemed to have no idea what was happening and froze. But the next moment, the woman's hand pulled a short gun out of the cash box, and the man overturned the stove at once. The boiling soup and wontons splashed towards Zhao Guanhou and Anna.
Shots rang out, and the man fell to the ground.
The woman had an extra bullet hole in her forehead, and the man was pressed to the ground tightly by several big men who had been killed out of nowhere. Anna was picked up by Zhao Guanhou and had already hid to the side. Huo Qiu blew away the white smoke from the muzzle, trotted to Zhao Guanhou's side and asked, "Dashuai, are you not injured?" ”
"You shot so fast, how could I get hurt? Well done, go back and get a reward. Inform the brothers to do it, and the few rats that have mixed in on this street have all been caught today, and they will go back and slowly concoct them. Turning his head, he looked at Anna who was in tears in his arms, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, since you are my apprentice, you don't have to worry that someone can hurt you, as long as I live, you are safe." This is the Master's responsibility to the apprentice, no matter who you provoke, it can't hurt you in the slightest. Let's go, I'll take you back to eat. ”
That night, Anna smiled sweetly in her sleep and whispered "Daddy." (To be continued.) )
