Chapter 32 If Life Is Only as First Seen
Tai Chi Palace, Thorn Horse Courtyard.
When the lights were on, the courtyard was empty. On this day, the autumn ceremony was held outside the city, and the future generals and marshals in the Thorn Horse Courtyard rushed to watch the ceremony. Yang Hao was lying quietly in the dormitory alone flipping through books. The thirteen military sticks that were beaten by Li Qing didn't notice anything unusual at first, but after four or five days, the wound suddenly swollen, painful and itchy, and it was very inconvenient to sit and lie down. Yang Hao can only stand most of the day and sleep on his stomach at night.
"Not back by this time."
Yang Hao muttered, dropped the scroll and struggled to turn it over. It's time for dinner, and everyone is not in the courtyard, so I don't know if the chef in the dining room will make dinner. Yang Hao muttered in his heart as he walked.
In the open space in the front yard, a small eunuch was looking around, as if looking for someone.
"Hey, father-in-law." Yang Hao beckoned to the little eunuch and said hello.
After being in contact with the eunuchs in the palace for so long, Yang Hao has long lost his prejudice in his heart. These people have lived in the palace for a long time, and their bodies are defective, and they are indeed a little different from normal people, but those are all due to the environment, and there is nothing strange about their human nature.
"Is my father-in-law looking for someone?" Yang Hao saw that the little eunuch didn't answer, and asked again.
"Oh, may I ask where Yang Hao, who is in the first class of the whole department, now?" The little eunuch stood on his feet and bowed respectfully, speaking in a sharp and thin voice.
Yang Hao was shocked in his heart: This is clearly a fake eunuch! The eunuch is castrated by a man, after castration, there will be some physiological changes, such as not growing a beard, and his voice becomes shrill, but he is still a man in appearance, and this fake eunuch is clearly a woman!
"Today, there was a drill outside the city, and he went to watch the ceremony. Is there something wrong with my father-in-law looking for him? ”
"Oh, it was Her Royal Highness Princess Yichun who sent a slave to see him, since he wasn't there, forget it."
The fake eunuch turned around and left, but Yang Hao didn't dare to expose her identity. A woman pretending to be a eunuch and breaking into the palace at night to find herself, this is strange enough, and what is even more strange is that this woman walks calmly, as if she is pregnant with superior martial arts.
Yang Hao immediately linked her with Qiu Shiliang. He is now a member of the Stinger Horse Battalion. Wang Shoucheng fell, Emperor Li Ang's next target should be Qiu Shiliang, otherwise where would the "Manna Change" come from? The battle between the Thorn Horse Battalion and Qiu Shiliang should have started a long time ago, maybe the Luo Chunxuan that the Iron Armor Army wanted to arrest on the street was a person from the Thorn Horse Battalion.
The stabbing horse camp is a secret organization loyal to the Tang Emperor, and the children of the nobles in the court can enter the stabbing horse camp after investigation, and the most important part of the investigation is loyalty, Luo Chunxuan is the son of the nobles, although the behavior is dirty, but the loyalty to the emperor is still there. As long as you have a brave and loyal heart, the gates of the Stinger Horse Camp will always be open for you. Of course, the premise is that your Lao Tzu is a relative of the court, or you are a student of the gifted Taixue, Guozijian, and Thorn Horse Academy.
"Dumb Overlord" originally joined the Thorn Horse Camp with a loyal heart, and later because he insisted on marrying Xiao Tsing Yi's secret agent Qi Yu, he was isolated and censored by "above", the polo field made meritorious contributions, and Dongshi saved people, so Nian Hao told him to welcome back. The members of the Thorn Horse Battalion that Yang Hao can confirm now are Han Yue, Nian Hao, Duan Yuming, Yin Tongxiang, Qi Mo, and Wu Shilang, who posted a banner in the gatehouse to remind him.
Before the big war, it is also a good choice to send a killer to the enemy to do a "decapitation operation". Although he is only a nine-rank halberd in the Thorn Horse Battalion, isn't it true that the lowest-level halberdier and a slightly higher horizontal knife can really charge? Isn't it a joke to expect a sword like Han Yue or the four high-ranking chiefs to kill the enemy in battle.
Yang Hao was thinking wildly, when a voice suddenly came from outside the wall of the Thorn Horse Courtyard: "There are assassins!" ”
Yang Hao turned around and ran back, he knew in his heart that an assassin who dared to break into the palace at night could never be an ordinary person, and he really had no reason to be a hero if he was unarmed.
There was a muffled sound, and someone fell heavily from the Siming Pavilion in front of Yang Hao, rolled on the ground, and lay still.
"It's her!" Yang Hao could clearly see that it was the woman who was pretending to be a eunuch lying on the ground, and at this time she was holding a short sword with cold light in her hand.
"As I expected." Yang Hao was secretly glad that he didn't tell her the truth, otherwise he might be lying where he was lying now.
Yang Hao didn't come forward easily, who knew she didn't pretend? He didn't shout, in case she was pretending, and she shouted, she jumped over the wall in a hurry and broke the net, which was not beautiful. On the other hand, if she was really seriously injured and couldn't move, wouldn't she give up a great credit to the guards outside in vain with her shouting?
Yang Hao decided to spend it with her. After half a cup of tea, the Assassin moved and tried to raise his arm, but to no avail.
"It turns out that she is really injured." Yang Hao found a large pool of blood under her shoulder.
"The injury is so serious, it should be saved first." Yang Hao touched his body and found half a bottle of gold sore medicine, which he used to treat the wound on his buttocks.
"Girl, don't get me wrong, I'm here to save you." Yang Hao shook the medicine bottle in his hand and said hello first, "Can you speak, tell me where the injury is?" ”
"I can't do it, do it well, kill me, save me and suffer the crime." The Assassin pleaded in pain.
"Don't be cranky, you're not seriously injured, you're fine...... Ahh Yang Hao suddenly squatted down in pain holding his crotch, the assassin was pretending to be pitiful and earning himself!
"If you want to live, don't be silent!" The assassin's short sword rested on Yang Hao's neck, and she struggled to get up, she had multiple knife wounds on her body, and the wound on her left shoulder was still dripping blood.
“…… You play yin. Yang Hao regretted it a lot.
"Less nonsense, let's go!" The assassin escorted Yang Hao into the inner courtyard of the Thorn Horse Courtyard.
"You are not familiar with the terrain, you can't escape without my help for you." Yang Hao's words moved the assassin, she let go of her hand, stumbled to the bottom of the cloister and sat down against the pillar, covering her wound and panting.
Yang Hao threw the medicine bottle to her, "You come with me." Yang Hao pointed to the east corner door.
"I'm going to save an assassin, it's a capital crime to exterminate the Nine Clans."
"I can't die without help, I bandage the wounds, and I'll call them to arrest you again."
The assassin laughed, struggled to his feet, and poured half of the vial on the wound, the powder immediately washed away by the blood. The Assassin was already experiencing dizziness due to blood loss. Yang Hao didn't care about any taboos, and helped the female assassin into his dormitory. There are more than 100 students in total, but there are four or five hundred houses, and the student dormitories are all single rooms. Some even have a separate courtyard.
The dormitory was so dark that she couldn't see anything, and Yang Hao was about to look for the fire sickle, but the assassin shook the fire fold, and the fire reflected her lips white. Yang Hao helped her sit on a chair and was busy looking for medicine and bandages. The female assassin looked around, then asked Yang Hao, "Can I hide here?" Yang Hao replied: "It's okay to hide for a while, but it will definitely be discovered after a long time." Don't talk about that, where are you hurting? The assassin smiled bitterly, "You don't have to save me, I won't let them catch me." ”
This is a bit tricky, if people have no idea of survival, no panacea can save their lives. Once the assassins were caught, the punishment would be extremely severe, and it was certain that nine out of nine would not make it out of the prison alive. Rather than that, it's really better to die.
"You are a good man, but you are also a fool, and you will not only be implicated in rescuing an unknown assassin, but also your parents and friends." The female assassin finished this series of words with difficulty, her physical strength was exhausted, she closed her eyes for a while, and reopened her eyes again: "Pick up the short sword on the ground and kill me, you helped me, and I will repay you." ”
"Why did you kill Yang Hao? Who has a grudge against him? Yang Hao picked up the bloody short sword on the ground, the essence was shining, and it was very heavy to start, it was a rare good sword.
"It's me who wants to kill him, the grudge of the previous life ......" The female assassin did not finish her words, and slowly fell asleep.
……
There was a group of Jinwu guards gathered in front of the gate of the Thorn Horse Courtyard, but they did not dare to enter.
Xianzong Li Chun left an edict that he was not allowed to enter without a holy order. This group of Jinwu guards has already fought with the assassin just now, the assassin's martial arts are not ordinarily high, and he can't beat others with a knife, hoping to enter the white blade empty-handed, isn't that looking for death?
"You guys are here, I'll go in and find out what is true." Qi Mo, the new commander of the Golden Sword Guard, suddenly squeezed over, and he was only followed by four Golden Sword Guards and all of them were injured. Qi Mo untied his saber and handed it to the guards beside him, pushed the door and entered the Thorn Horse Courtyard.
Yang Hao was lying on the bed flipping through a book, and suddenly saw Qi Mo coming in and was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Second brother, why are you here?" Qi Mo didn't answer. He scanned the surroundings alertly, and after finding nothing unusual, he slowly replied: "Your Majesty is fishing by the Chaotian Pond today, and at night there was a whole fish banquet by the pool, and the generals of the forbidden army were feasted. I'm escorted, so here. When Qi Mo said this, his gaze suddenly stopped on the closet.
"Second brother, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? Yang Hao asked calmly.
"It's nothing, we found an assassin in the palace, her martial arts are very good, we searched most of the Taiji Palace and didn't see anyone, do you think she will hide in this closet......"
"Chances are, there's definitely the next person in this closet." Yang Hao said seriously, the two looked at each other and laughed. Qi Mo sat down in front of Yang Hao's bookcase, but his eyes were still fixed on the closet.
Yang Hao followed his gaze, and his heart suddenly jumped to his throat: a pool of blood dripped from the crack in the door of the closet. "Second brother, listen to my explanation." The fact that the female assassin was hiding in the cupboard was a fact that could not be relied upon.
Qi Mo didn't speak, he took out a pink pill and threw it to Yang Hao, this is the golden medicine for hemostasis distributed by Jin Daowei, the medicine is extremely effective, in addition to using it to save himself, most of the time it is still ready to save people.
Yang Hao didn't think much about it, he hurriedly took out the pale, angry female assassin from the closet, lay her flat on the bed, chewed the "Heart Replenishing Pill", and fed her mouth-to-mouth. The wound on her left shoulder began to leak blood again, and Yang Hao took advantage of her slumber to bandage the wound with a bandage, but because he suddenly heard a noise outside, he panicked and hid her in the closet, but the bandage that had been tied forgot to tie the knot, so that it was loosened again.
"Use my medicine." Qi Mo, who had been watching coldly, handed over the gold sore medicine he was carrying. The blade of the Golden Guardian is coated with an anesthetic that can enter the body with the blood, causing the poisoned person to become unconscious and fall unconscious, and this medicine can prevent the blood from clotting from the wound. Without an antidote, the wound of the poisoned person will continue to bleed.
The blood finally stopped, Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, his hands were bloody, and his clothes and bedding were also stained with blood, but he was very happy in his heart, and he finally saved his life.
"Do you know who she is? She's the killer of Mosha. ”
"Mosha" is a mysterious killer organization, the main altar is said to be located in the eastern capital of Luoyang, each province has branches, it is rumored that "Mosha" is a master like a cloud, and there are hundreds of gold medal killers alone. Their rule is "kill people when they see money, don't ask right or wrong", as long as you put the silver on the table, you let him kill his own Lao Tzu and Niang, and their brows will not wrinkle.
"She?" Yang Hao looked at the assassin who was lying unconscious on the bed, and shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile.
"Don't underestimate him, she killed twelve of us and injured twenty-three people, with this martial art, she is qualified to be a gold medal killer."
Yang Hao doesn't care about any gold medal killer or silver medal killer. He asked Qi Mo: "Why do you want to help me?" ”
Qi Mo exclaimed, "Am I helping you?" Don't be sentimental, I want you to save her, and I want to arrest her and go back to make meritorious service. He walked over to the bed and lifted the female Assassin's clothes, and five plum blossoms were tattooed on her flat and smooth lower abdomen, reflecting the smooth white complexion, like red plums blooming in the snow.
Qi Mo's face changed, and he hurriedly grabbed the assassin's short sword again, and two small seals with fly heads were engraved on the hilt: Zi Chen. Qi Mo hugged Yang Hao: "Silly melon, you are really stupid and blessed!" Do you know who she is? She is the eight masters of 'Mosha' - Zichen! Qi Mo rubbed his hands and muttered excitedly, "This is a big fish." ”
Yang Hao didn't know what the "Eight Masters" were, but it could be seen from Qi Mo's expression that the status of the masters should be far above the gold medal killer. He looked down at the sleeping female assassin again, Zi Chen, is this your name or codename?
Yang Hao suddenly discovered a very strange thing, Zi Chen's lips were pale, but ...... Her face was flushed. Yang Hao stepped forward and reached out to touch her face.
"Don't move." Qi Mo snorted and scared Yang Hao away, "They never show their true faces, don't ask for trouble"
The doubts in Yang Hao's heart were lifted, she was really wearing a human skin mask, it turned out that there was really such a thing in the world, and she had been alone with her for so long, and she didn't even notice it.
"Second brother, what are you going to do with her?" This is what Yang Hao is most concerned about now.
"Don't worry, is someone Qi who betrays his brother for the sake of wealth and wealth?" Mosha's killing people when they see money has become a tool for the courtiers' party to fight against each other. The Holy One was deeply concerned about this, and two years ago he ordered a thorough investigation. It's a pity that the Mosha organization is very tight, and outsiders are unfathomable. Now that we have caught this big fish, how can we not make good use of it. ”
Qi Mo's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, pondered for a long time, and suddenly turned around and said, "Let's play a game of heroes saving beauty to make her grateful to you, and then you try to get close to her and find out the details of Mosha." ”
"This ......" Yang Hao hesitated for a moment, and then said generously: "How to arrange the second brother, the younger brother is to obey his fate." ”
