Sun Teng heard the little girl whisper in his ear: "Miss Zheng from Tongque Tower is here." At that moment, he put down the wine glass and said to everyone with a little drunkenness: "Lord, everyone, don't be impatient. Today, in order to cheer up the feast for our eldest brother, I specially invited our most popular girl Zheng in Yecheng. Ladies and gentlemen! After that, he walked quickly to the door, took Zheng Dache's hand, and continued: "This is Miss Zheng, our famous beauty in Yecheng. ”
The male guests present all cast wolf-like eyes, and the praise was endless. Everyone was attracted by Zheng Dache's sobriety and refinement, and thought that the popular singer must be a gaudy and cheesy rouge fan, but they didn't want Zheng Dache to look pure and elegant, which was a big surprise.
Because of Zheng Dache, everyone just filtered out the maid Qingluo behind her, and didn't pay attention to it at all. Only Gao Huan always felt a little familiar with this maid, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, and he secretly thought to himself: Maybe he was in a prince's and nobleman's house and made a mistake.
Everyone asked Zheng Dache to sing a cappella tune song on the spot, and when she saw that everyone was happy, she was not stage frightened, standing in the middle of the banquet, straightening her standing posture, singing a cappella face and one song, singing while beating the beat with her hands. When everyone heard this beautiful sound, they were all intoxicated, and even Gao Huan was deeply attracted by her singing. No wonder a history teacher in a previous life once said that in ancient times, the most disastrous thing for the country and the people was the music of this beautiful sound, except for beauty.
After singing a song, everyone still couldn't get enough of asking Zheng Dache to come to another song, at this time Gao Yue got up and came to her side, raised his wine glass and said: "The girl is really natural, I am fascinated by listening to it, I toast you." Zheng Dache covered his mouth and smiled: "The general has won the award, and the slave family just said a few words nonsense, because I still have to sing, please forgive me for not drinking this wine." Her voice was as beautiful as a nightingale, and her mannerisms made Gao Yue mistakenly think that she was interesting to her. stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Dache's jade hand, and said proudly: "Girl don't have to be polite, you can sing and dance after drinking this glass of wine, come and come." "Anyway, I want to forcibly pour her.
Zheng Dache was teased by Gao Yue, a reckless man, and his face couldn't help but turn red, Sun Teng immediately came over to play a round when he saw this: "This Zheng girl really doesn't drink alcohol while singing, this is the rule of their industry." ”
"Rules, what rules? Isn't she just a play? I've never heard of a drama that doesn't drink with anyone. Gao Yue wanted to make a scene with a hint of drunkenness.
Qingluo was also indignant when she saw such a scene on the side, this stinky man actually wanted to do something to Zheng Dache, and every man was really a good thing. So he stepped forward to block between him and Zheng Dache, and said with a blushing face: "She said that you can't drink, why do you force her?" ”
Gao Yue was stunned for a moment with the wine glass, and asked in a trance, "Who are you?" What does this have to do with you? Get out of the way! ”
Qingluo snatched the wine glass and said, "Isn't it just drinking, I'll drink it for her!" After speaking, he raised his neck and drank the two pots in Gao Yue's wine glass. The hotness of the soju instantly made her feel like her throat was on fire, and her tears were spicy, in fact, Qingluo was also drinking for the first time.
Seeing that she kept coughing, Gao Yue still had to be unrelenting, Gao Huan said with a frosty face: "Drink some horse urine and make a fool of yourself, don't look at the occasion, and don't let me get out and calm down." Gao Zhongming on the side hurriedly came up and pulled Gao Yue out of the living room.
The atmosphere returned to a relaxed atmosphere. Zheng Dache cast a grateful look at Qingluo, and continued to dance with the accompaniment of the band at Sun Teng's request. Qingluo flashed to the side, forcing herself to cough and not make a sound.
The graceful princess asked Ayima to bring her a cup of tea to moisten her throat, so that she was easily hoarse after being stimulated by soju. If Gao Huan hadn't spoken just now, this curvaceous princess would probably have to make a move, don't see that she can't understand Chinese, but she is not blind, she knows that Gao Yue was drunk and crazy just now.
Just when everyone was attracted by Zheng Dache's singing, Qingluo had secretly disappeared into the living room, and no one noticed this detail. At this time, Qingluo changed into night clothes in a corner of the side hall, and pulled up the masked black gauze scarf to cover her face. She pulled out the dagger that had been poisoned in the cold light, and after carefully checking that there was no problem, she pushed open the back window and turned out.
When there are many people, it is difficult to start, she lies on the roof and secretly observes Gao Huan's every move in the living room, and sees that he gets up as if he has drunk too much and wants to go to the toilet, so she quietly touches the top of the room where the toilet is located along the roof, ready to wait for the opportunity to assassinate Gao Huan.
The ancients used the toilet, if they were to make a toilet in the room, they had to take off their pants and sit on it. But Gao Huan drank too much and couldn't hold back his urine, as soon as he entered the house, the lights were bright, he saw that there was no one on the side, and he let go of his pants and took out his big bird to release the water. Qingluo on the roof saw his guy, and he didn't know whether he was shy or frightened, and he slid down from the roof in an instant with an exclamation.
Gao Huan was startled by her voice coldly, looked up and saw that a tile on the roof had been removed, and quickly lifted his pants and shouted that there was an assassin.
Sun Teng's entire mansion was brightly lit, there were soldiers patrolling everywhere, Gao Huan and Princess Grace and others were in the living room with the light news, Sun Teng was also walking around the living room, Zheng Dache was sitting on the side and secretly wondering why he was so unlucky, and finally met Gao Huan, but an assassin came out to assassinate him. Qingluo is also gone, where did this little girl go? Didn't something happen to you? The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and I didn't dare to tell Sun Teng, for fear of causing misunderstanding.
This is Murong Heng suddenly asked, "Miss Zheng, where did your maid go?" Only then did everyone find out about Qingluo's disappearance, Zheng Dache's face was red because of nervousness, and he replied weakly: "I...... I don't know where she went, but she was still here? ”
"Wouldn't it be killed by the Assassins? Or hijacked? Gao Gao asked casually.
Everyone was reminded by his words, and Murong Heng asked more meaningfully: "Miss Zheng, where are you from as a maid?" What is your name? ”
She ...... Her name is Qingluo, and she is the maid I just received a few days ago. I don't usually like to talk.,Listen to the steward say that she seems to be from Pingcheng.,I don't know the specifics.。 Zheng Dache had been frightened by Murong Heng's aggressive momentum at this time, and he was a little incoherent. In the end, she is still a little woman who lacks courage and experience. Usually, if you want to talk to those high-ranking officials and nobles who are crepe, it may be okay to be angry, but today these people are outlaws who lick blood with knives or wise and witty people.
Just as everyone was discussing the whereabouts of this Qingluo, she came in with a curtain herself, and under everyone's gaze, Murong Heng stepped forward and asked, "Where have you been?" ”
Qingluo said with a blank face: "I just drank and had a stomach upset, so I went to the thatched house, what's wrong?" ”
"Did you really go to the hut?" Although he felt quite indecent about this matter, Murong Heng still asked, staring at the little woman in front of him with a pair of eagle eyes for a moment.
"If you don't believe it, you can go to the women's toilet and check it out for yourself." Qingluo looked like she didn't care.
"You...... Licentious! Qingluo's words made the old master Murong Heng's face unbearable, and he scolded again and again: "I don't know shame, I'm really a cheap girl." ”
Qingluo also got angry when she heard this: "I told you the truth, but you didn't believe it, let you see it yourself, you said that I am not ashamed, what do you want?" At this time, she also showed a sloppy appearance.
Murong Heng was blocked by her words, so he was so angry that he stomped his feet and said, "You can't teach your son, you can't teach your son." ”
Zheng Dache hurriedly came up and said: "Although my maid is usually very arrogant, she is not a liar, and the most important thing now is to find the assassin." The group then began to discuss the Assassin again.
In fact, Qingluo was also gambling on luck, she thought that if she didn't go back and ran away secretly, not only would her suspicion not be cleared, but also Miss Zheng would be affected. In case of misfortune being recognized and caught by Gao Huan, it is also fate, and he admits it. Assassins have two outcomes: kill or be killed. She has long had this realization in her heart, how can she be a killer assassin if she is greedy for life and afraid of death?
In this way, it was noisy until midnight, and the assassin could not be found, and everyone estimated that the assassin had withdrawn without a successful assassin, so they offered to escort Gao Huan and the princess back to the house, Gao Yue also woke up at this time, and called Gao Zhongming to take Gao Huan's personal guards to escort the carriage to the Qi Palace.
When Qingluo accompanied Zheng Dache back to Tongque Tower, it was already three watches. Tonight's assassination failed, not only that, but it is estimated that Gao Huan will be doubly protected for a long time in the future, and he wants to give up when he thinks of his more difficult hand. Just kill Sun Teng to complete the task, and forget it.
However, the security of Sun Teng's mansion has also begun to be strengthened, and the three floors inside and the outer three floors are full of soldiers patrolling back and forth. Qingluo has insomnia for several days. What to do?
In the days when Qingluo was sad, she didn't know that she had been watched by the secret sentinel sent by Murong Heng. Being watched as an assassin without knowing it, this is a mistake, it is a dereliction of duty not to effectively kill the target, the little girl's path to assassination suddenly becomes confusing, and even she herself doubts whether she can still do the job.
Finally, on this day, when she was exchanging information with the upline sent by Guan Nei to connect with her, she was caught red-handed by Murong Heng. At that time, Qingluo wanted to commit suicide by taking poison, so she was taken back to the barracks prison by her hands and feet and guarded tightly. Now the matter is getting bigger, and even Zheng Dache was called for questioning. The entire Yecheng was shrouded in a gloomy mist. Everywhere there are officials arresting people, interrogating pedestrians entering the city, and strictly interrogating suspicious people.
Nan Batian, the boss of Xiaoyao Pavilion, learned of Qingluo's arrest, and immediately disbanded Pingcheng's Wucheng City, and then sent Yan Wuji, a powerful killer, to infiltrate Yecheng and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Qingluo, so as to prevent her from leaking information about Xiaoyao Pavilion.
In fact, the killer ended up so miserably, if he couldn't commit suicide after being captured alive, then the organization would send other killers to kill him. That's the unwritten rule of their business.
Murong Heng had already reported the news to Gao Huan, but in order to prevent the news from leaking, even Sun Teng and the others were not notified. Therefore, there are only a few three or four people who know where Qingluo is being held. This is not to protect the green ravel, but to cast a long line to catch a big fish, and the information obtained is far more useful than killing an assassin.
In the interrogation room, Gao Huan frowned and looked at Qingluo, who was unkempt in prison clothes, and asked with a grim face, "Why did you kill me?" I have not offended you, nor have I hurt you. ”
"Hmph, do you need a reason to kill you?" Qingluo also replied without showing weakness.
"Don't you need a reason to kill someone? Are you a cold-blooded pervert? Gao Huan was furious at her tough attitude and shouted at her angrily.
Qingluo raised her head and her contemptuous expression was no different, and she said coldly: "I'm a pervert? I think you warlords who fight all day long, regardless of the lives of the people, are bloodthirsty perverts. The country is divided, not only do you not share the worries of the emperor and seek the welfare of the people, but you only care about your own glory and wealth, fight for power and profit, and deceive me, I want to vomit when I look at your faces. ”
What a clever little girl, she knows a lot. Gao Huan said secretly in his heart, so his face changed color, and he said slowly: "I'm different from their warlords, you don't need to kill me." Over the years, the people's evaluation of me has not been as bad as you say. ”
"So what, you're not just like those high-ranking people who are oblivious to profit and forget righteousness and are drunk on money." Qingluo didn't seem to be afraid of him at all. looked at Gao Huan with aggressive eyes.
Gao Huan got up at this time and sneered: "Having said that, do you think that you can save the world by killing me?" Or do you think your master can save the world? To kill me is nothing more than to plunge the country into war again, and to turn the era of reunification into a nightmare of misery. If Gao Huan's death can be exchanged for peace in the world, then I am willing to die! After speaking, he also stared at Qingluo's eyes without blinking. This little girl is pretty good-looking.
