Volume 1: Born of Revenge Chapter 40: Heading to the Northlands, Halfway Through Assassination

"Is the imperial concubine going to eliminate dissidents for the emperor in order to get rid of General Zhenbei?" Ning Zhixuan knew that the eldest princess's mansion with 300,000 iron horses in her hands was always a piece of Emperor Qi's heart, if Chu Linyuan died, the eldest princess would inevitably return the military power to Emperor Qi in order to win the trust of Emperor Qi and the lives of hundreds of people in the eldest princess's mansion.

"The imperial concubine and Prince Heng know that Xiao Er has always been close to the eldest princess's mansion, so they are about to seize the military power of the princess's mansion and break one of his arms." The lord of Liuyun County just got the news that the imperial concubine Mingli sent a killer to assassinate Shangguan Hanyue, but in fact, he sent a dead soldier to the north to assassinate the Zhenbei general Chu Linyuan.

"What a move." The imperial concubine deliberately made everyone think that their target was Shangguan Hanyue, but secretly sent a dead soldier to assassinate Chu Linyuan.

"What about the prince?" Ning Zhixuan was a little worried, but still asked the suspicion in his heart, "He went to the north to save General Zhenbei." ”

"After learning the true purpose of the imperial concubine, Xiao Er did rush to the north overnight, and this son should have already arrived in the north."

"The courtiers don't understand, why does the prince want to go to Jiangnan, is it really for a piece of jade?" Ning Zhixuan asked the puzzle in her heart.

"It was Xiao Er who deliberately went to Jiangnan to find Yujue, but in fact, he was waiting for an opportunity to change his route to the north to remind General Chu to be careful in everything."

Ning Zhiyun asked, "The prince has a hunch that the imperial concubine will be unfavorable to General Chu?" ”

"There is no such thing as an impermeable wall." Lord Liuyun continued, "It's just that Xiao Er didn't expect them to attack so quickly. ”

"Since the grass has been startled, the imperial concubine will definitely not hesitate to cut off General Zhenbei." If Shangguan Hanyue insisted on saving Chu Linyuan, the imperial concubine just took advantage of this time to eradicate him together.

"The imperial concubine will definitely do whatever it takes to attack Lin Yuan and Xiao Er this time." The county lord of Liuyun said and handed a letter to Ning Zhiyun, "Now that there is an accident in the north, I have no time to take care of myself, you take my handwritten letter and go to the suburbs of Beijing to avoid the limelight for the time being." "The county lord of Liuyun has always been thoughtful, she knows that even if the imperial concubine is busy dealing with Shangguan Hanyue and Chu Linyuan, and has no time to take care of Ning Zhiyuan for a while, Ning Wanhua, who has long hated Ning Zhiyun, will definitely not let go of this golden opportunity to kill the killer.

"County Lord, now that the northern border and the general are in danger, the county lord should hurry back to the eldest princess's mansion to control the overall situation." Ning Zhiyun looked at the county lord of Liuyun with earnest eyes and said, "Please rest assured that although Zhiyun is not talented, she is enough to protect herself." ”

"Xiao Er entrusted your safety to me before leaving, and repeatedly told you to protect you thoroughly." The Liuyun County Lord said that her eyes had become cold, she reached out to clasp Ning Zhiyun's wrist, Ning Zhiyun guessed her mind first, and the silver needle in her hand quickly shot out, Liuyun County Lord did not expect Ning Zhiyun to notice it, and soon became confused, and her body gradually softened.

"County Lord, I'm sorry, I can't leave him behind, and go to the outskirts of Beijing to hide alone." Ning Zhiyun held the Liuyun County Lord and placed it on top of the soft collapse.

Then Ning Zhiyun pushed the door out, and said to Xinzhi that the county lord of Liuyun arranged for her to leave first in the appearance of a little maid, and left quickly with Su Xin after speaking.

After Ning Zhiyun and Su Xin left, the county lord of Liuyun got up from the couch, and Xinzhi hurriedly came in to help her and asked, "Is the county lord okay?" ”

"She didn't mean to hurt me, it's fine."

"Why did the county lord let Miss Ning go like this?"

The county lord of Liuyun looked at the gloomy sky outside, like the calm before the storm, and then said slowly: "It's not peaceful anywhere now, since she is worried about Xiao Er, let her go, I'm afraid the future will be more difficult, and I don't think she will have much chance with him......"

"County Lord, you obviously have a heart ......" Xinzhi looked at the Liuyun County Lord who still didn't dare to say it after all, so he changed the topic and said, "Why do you have to be a good person and fulfill others." ”

The corner of the Liuyun County Lord's lips pulled up a wry smile: "Being in the royal family, with heavy shackles on your body, who can fulfill whom?" ”

After the Liuyun County Lord returned to the eldest princess's mansion, he sent all the shadow guards to go to all corners of the imperial capital to find out the news of Ning Zhiyun.

This Ning Zhixuan and Su Xin have quietly returned to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion in the appearance of little maids, and they are far away from the mountains in the north, and she comes back to get some things in case of emergency.

Fortunately, Su Rui had already gone to the eldest princess's mansion, and Shangguan Hanyue could always guess what she was worried about, and arranged everything for her one step in advance.

"Miss, are we really going to the North?" Su Xin only felt that the northern realm was thousands of miles away, and now Shangguan Hanyue was not in the imperial capital, if he hid in the suburbs of Beijing, the lord of Liuyun County would still be able to protect Ning Zhixuan, and now he ventured north to fear that he would fall into the hands of the imperial concubine and Ning Banghua.

Su Xin's concerns Ning Zhiyuan didn't think of it, but now the northern border is not very peaceful, if the imperial concubine really gets rid of the Zhenbei general Chu Linyuan, then Prince Heng's supreme position will be one step closer, if he really has Shangguan Qingyun ascending the throne one day, not to mention her Ning Zhixuan, even Shangguan Hanyue, Liuyun County Lord and Shangguan Yunxin will not escape the doom.

Since there is no way to retreat, it is better to give it a go, Shangguan Hanyue saved her from danger three or four times, and now that she has won, she will repay his kindness, if she loses, she will not be lonely on the road to Huangquan.

"Su Xin, this is dangerous, I'm afraid it's ......"

"Miss, Su Rui is simple-minded and impulsive, which is why she stayed in the imperial capital." Su Xin said and tied a brocade burden to her body, "Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, Su Xin must be by Miss's side." ”

"Good plain." Ning Zhiyun said and handed a red plum porcelain bottle to Su Xin's hand, "This is a bottle of peacock gall powder, as long as you sniff it, you will die instantly, don't open it until you have to." ”

In the previous life, Ning Zhixuan traveled all over the Great Zhou and knew the preparation of many poisons, and she never used poisons at will on weekdays, threatening the lives of others, but now the situation is turbulent, and a little mercy to the enemy will harm the most important people around her. Reborn in this life, Ning Zhijun understands that a person's kindness will not attack the evildoers, but will only give those who are wicked the opportunity to hurt themselves and their loved ones.

After packing up their things, Ning Zhixuan and Su Xin changed into men's clothes, and then rode out of the city gate on a tall horse, all the way to the north, but they encountered an attack by an ambushed killer on the way to the outskirts of Beijing.

"Su Xin, you quickly find a place to hide." Ning Zhixuan turned over and dismounted, and the silver needles in her hand shot towards the man in black in waves.

Su Xin was afraid that Ning Zhiyun would be affected, so she hurriedly turned over and dismounted and hid behind a stout old locust tree.

Although the killers had all the tricks to kill, Ning Zhixuan had already prepared, only to see the silver needles in her hands flying, with a large amount of medicinal powder pouring out, those killers couldn't get close to her at all.

Seeing that they couldn't get close to Ning Zhixuan's body, the killers hurriedly changed their formation and took a big net in an attempt to net Ning Zhixuan in it. Although Ning Zhixuan's martial arts moves were inferior to the man in black, she had half of Shangguan Hanyue's internal strength on her body, only to see her tiptoe lightly, flipping into the air and stepping on the branches, leaving the man in black far behind.

"Catch the one who doesn't know martial arts, are you still afraid that the Lord of Le Ya Pavilion will be captured if he doesn't tie his hands?" I don't know who pointed the finger at Su Xin among the men in black, and almost all of them went towards Su Xin in unison.

Ning Zhixuan originally relied on her dexterity to walk among the killers, but now when she saw that they were going to hold Su Xin, she immediately panicked, because she wanted to stop them from catching Su Xin, she was almost caught by the big net several times.

Just when Ning Zhixuan was stumbling left and right, and was almost defeated, the long sword in the air broke through the air, and Feiyun held the long sword in his hand to isolate most of the people in black from a safe distance.

Because of Feiyun's sudden appearance, Ning Zhixuan got a chance to breathe, and the silver needle in her sleeve flew over, forcing the man in black to retreat and go in the direction of Su Xin.

Just when Ning Zhixuan was about to touch Su Xin, a leather whip burst out of the air, tired Su Xin's waist and limbs, and then the whole person fell into the arms of a dark figure.

"Let her go!" Ning Zhixuan clasped the silver needle in her hand and looked at the man in the black robe wearing a red gold mask in front of her with a solemn face.

"Why should I listen to you?" The man in the robe looked at Ning Zhiyun arrogantly.

The corners of Ning Zhiyun's lips rippled with a slightly cool smile, and she dipped the silver needle in a white porcelain bottle as usual, and soon the silver-white needle tip flashed with a dazzling green light: "No one will think that their life is too long!" ”

"You won't shoot the silver needle at me, because the silver needle will pierce her body first." The man in the black robe looked at Ning Zhiyun fearlessly.

"She is a pawn of the master just like you, and you all deserve to die." Ning Zhixuan's eyes were filled with a smile of almost disdain.

"I don't care to have a war of words with you, why don't you shoot the silver needle out now, so that you can see it immediately." The man in the black robe seemed to be sure that Ning Zhixuan would not hurt Su Xin, so he concluded that she did not dare to shoot the silver needle.

"Let her go, and the conditions are up to you." It's not that there is no chance to make a sudden move, but Su Xin's life, Ning Zhixuan really can't afford to gamble.

"Throwing in the towel so quickly." The man in the black robe didn't seem surprised by Ning Zhixuan's admission of defeat, he thought for a moment and then said, "If you prick yourself with the silver needle that you just spied on the poison, I can consider letting her go, one life for another, it's very fair." ”

"Miss, you go quickly, leave me alone!" Su Xin, who had been silent, heard that the man in the robe intended to take Ning Zhiyun's life, so he struggled desperately.

"You're just a killer of people's money, and I can give you double the money." Ning Zhiyun continued, "In this way, you can get double the amount of silver without blood, and the purpose of the killer should be the money, not the killing itself. ”

"The killer is also curious, and I'm curious if you're determined enough to save her." The man in the black robe was obviously not interested in double the silver, he just wanted to know how far Ning Zhixuan could go in order to save Su Xin?

"Miss, this is a trap they have set, you go quickly, leave me alone!" Su Xin screamed and struggled in the arms of the man in the robe, but in vain.

"Why should I believe that if I stab myself with a silver needle, you will let go of Su Xin?" Ning Zhixuan looked at the man in the dark robe with a look of vigilance.

The man in the robe waved his hand and shattered the leather whip that bound Su Xin with internal force, and then said, "If you stab it, I will let her go, otherwise I will shatter her heart with one palm." Ning Zhixuan, who has the high internal strength of this person, saw it with her own eyes, and believed that there was no need for a person with such a high martial arts skill to lie and deceive himself, so she immediately agreed to his quid pro quo.

"Miss, don't ...... Leave me alone! At the moment when Ning Zhixuan was about to pierce the silver needle into her arm, Su Xin tried her best to take out the red plum porcelain bottle in her sleeve.

"Don't ......" Ning Zhiwen watched Su Xin struggle to pull off the cork of the red plum porcelain bottle, trying to stop it but it was too late.
