The night was fast, and there was silence.

The birds on the branches were already asleep, the insects in the green grass were still clamoring for a beauty pageant, and the handsome little insects stood tall on their toes, raised their arms and sat in a toned posture, but at that moment they were trampled to death by a cloud of shadows.

Someone was passing by.

There was more than one person, and the black shadows overlapped, about a dozen people. The person who came was dressed in a pitch-black night suit, and the blade in his hand was already unsheathed. Those blades are smeared with the sap of a special plant, so that they will not shine in the moonlight like a mirror, easy to hide, and kill people at night.

"Boom", like a rushing wind, the shadow took advantage of the gap between the patrolling soldiers to turn around, interspersed with the past, and disappeared into a darker position, making it difficult for people to detect with the naked eye.

"Body Method: Shadow Shuttle."

When the patrolling soldiers had gone farther and farther away, and the footsteps had ceased to be heard, shadows began to haunt them, and one after another narrow shadows wriggled on the ground.

One, two, three...... Counting all the way, this is all counted, a full thirteen people, thirteen assassins who travel in the Qingfu at night.

The corners of the assassin leader's mouth hooked slightly, and he whispered, "The county mansion is nothing more than that." Not at all guarded. Do you think that these ordinary soldiers alone can resist us? ”

"Boss, according to Mr. Kong's plan, let's assassinate that guy quickly." An Assassin whispered a reminder. "The soldier is fast, and it is not appropriate to be suspicious."

"Needless to say." The leader of the assassins touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Looking at the strength of the patrolling soldiers, it's nothing more than that. To assassinate a Ye Bu Return, you don't need thirteen people to go together, so as not to alarm the guards. Why don't we divide into two groups, and you take a brother to assassinate Cheng Qingbai in Mingzhi County. I took the rest of my brothers and went to assassinate Ye Bugui in person. ”

"This ...... Lord, this seems to be a little different from Mr. Sora's strategy. The assassin froze for a moment, then hesitated. He didn't expect that after breaking into Qingfu and the assassination had not succeeded, this person couldn't wait to kick himself out. What is going to assassinate the county Cheng Qingbai, it is just to exclude him at all, so that he will not take the first credit. Even......

"Hmph." The Assassin Leader sneered. "We are all just assassins recruited by the lord of the village. Before leaving, the lord of the village said that I was the leader, and everything was under my command. Now my words are the biggest military order, do you want to disobey me? ”

"Don't dare." The assassin hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed his head in response. "Who wants to go with me?"

There was silence.

A girl with a young voice spoke, "Master, I'll go with you." ”

There was a cold light in the eyes of the assassin leader, and he was not used to seeing the assassin in front of him for a long time. It's not that there is any conflict with him, but this person's assassination skills are faintly going to surpass him as the leader. It made him feel threatened. The most unbearable thing for him is that this assassin Lao Liu doesn't seem to have shown his real skills. It seems that it is because of teaching apprentices that his strength is revealed little by little. "The guy who hides so deeply, staying by his side, is a threat after all. It's better to borrow a knife and kill someone. ”

People don't hurt the tiger, but the tiger eats people's hearts.

As an assassin leader, he was able to get to where he is today, completely crawling out of the pile of dead people. Now that someone is faintly revealing that he wants to surpass him, he naturally wants to design an opportunity to get rid of this person. As for this girl, heh, just get rid of it together.

"Good boy, you stay." The assassin took a deep breath, his tone a little old. At this time, it was discovered that this assassin, who was dressed in a nocturnal bodysuit and looked like a strong man, turned out to be an old man.

Lan Ke'er shook her head, clenched her fists and said, "I am the master's apprentice, and I should advance and retreat with the master." Lord Boss, please let me go with my master to assassinate the county Cheng Qingbai. ”

"Good!" The leader of the assassins smiled in his heart, and said expressionlessly: "Lao Liu, you have been working with me for a few years, and it is time to give the young man a chance to exercise. ”

"......"

"Nothing good to do." The Assassin Leader whispered in a tone that was imminent and unmistakable. "Just your master and apprentice. Let's go! ”

"Yes." The assassin Lao Liu clenched his fists, looked at his apprentice with some sadness in his heart, and waited for some distance to hide in a remote corner, then said sadly: "Good apprentice, you are really stupid." He's going to send us to death. ”

The assassin Lao Liu smiled bitterly, the county mansion is not so easy to kill. Moreover, a group of people broke in, it was too simple. Years of assassination experience made Lao Liu faintly feel that something was wrong. He looked at the dim sky as if he had seen a giant web woven by a spider. It's just that this net has been laid down, and it's not easy to escape.

What's more, he didn't run away alone, but he also had to take himself, a good man who had only been in the door wall for a long time. Nine deaths and one life, in this life, he can return to the light and recover his body to the prime of life. "I'm old. All the dark wounds I received when I was young have come over. ”

"I'm not afraid." Lan Ke'er smiled.

She's a gamer.

"Huh...... Silly boy, in this world, there is no one who is not afraid of death? The assassin Lao Liu smiled bitterly.

"But, I'm just not afraid." Lan Ke'er still smiled. "Why don't you go first, master! Later, I will go to assassinate the county Cheng Qingbai alone, as long as we are injured, we can use the excuse of serious injuries to withdraw from this event safely. ”

"Huh...... It's so easy. The assassin Lao Liu patted his obedient disciple on the shoulder with some emotion, and said: "Disciple, I am the thorn in the heart of that guy, if he doesn't die for a day, he won't be at ease for a day." You are dead, I am alive, and one day I will die. Only if I die in Qingfu and you go back alive, will you have that bite to eat. ”

"One more day of life is one more day of hope." Lan Keer said seriously. She thought to herself, "I don't have to eat this either." I'm a gamer. ”

The assassin Lao Liu didn't talk much about this. He sat on the cold floor, his old back leaning against the remote courtyard wall, and whispered, "Good boy, haven't you always wanted to know about my past?" ”

"Yes." Lan Keer always felt that the current atmosphere was a little strange, but she couldn't say what was strange.

"I originally used a sword but not a knife, Jingzhou Young Ranger. I have also chanted poems and sang, wandered around the fence and listened to the whispers of warblers. (In ancient times, there were entertainment venues for listening to songs, commenting on stories, and watching acrobatics, and some of the hooks also had some indescribable transactions in the Qinglou)" Lao Liu said with some twilight. "When I was angry, I drew my sword and killed a drinker, and then I died at the end of the world and became a wandering swordsman."

"Then ......" Lan Ke'er looked at the strange weapon in his hand, it was a strange weapon. Like a knife is not a knife, like a sword is not a sword, Lao Liu once named it "Missing Moon Reverse Blade". She took it for granted at the time that there should be a "full moon reverse blade", but Lao Liu didn't answer her at that time.

"During the years of being a swordsman, I killed countless people, and there were endless grievances in the rivers and lakes. Enemies are everywhere, and they want to take my life. Lao Liu recalled. Later, he was forced to change his name and surname, hide his identity, and became the assassin Lao Liu. ”

"Master, you?" Lan Keer was a little shocked. She never thought that her novice master would have such a twists and turns in his life. She, like many players, just felt that becoming an assassin was just a matter of the system. 's own master, probably can only spend a novice period for himself.

Even the urge to die together just now was based on the fact that she was a player, and she died once, but she was a decision made on the basis of dropping levels. If she really wants to die, whether she will still be willing to be with her master, who has not been with her for a long time, the answer is probably impossible.

"Good apprentice, the master's body, there is blood and tears, wine and songs, but there is regret."

"Master?"

"Good boy, are you willing to settle this life regret for me? In return, you go to Luoyang, Kyoto, to find someone. This man is your new master. ”
