A few days later, Xiao Ren came to Shuyuan Street again, and Shen Tong asked him to find out for the time being.

"The people over there will continue to investigate, and I'll let you know when there's news."

Shen Tong thanked him, after all, it was ten years ago, and the world has changed, and many insiders are probably gone.

Xiao Ren looked at Shen Tong and saw that she was still a deep and light shade of red, but the red velvet flowers on her head were replaced by two red ribbons, the ribbons were very long, and each end hung down to the ends of her hair.

He remembered that day when Shen Tong said that he was thinking about what he would look like when he grew up, what about Shen Tong when he grew up? You'll grow taller......

"By the way, last time you asked about the skirt, was there something wrong?" Seeing that he didn't know what he was thinking when he looked at him, Shen Tong had to remind him.

"It's really something......" said Xiao Ren looked at Fang Fei on the side, Fang Fei wrinkled her nose at him, and looked like you don't want to bomb me away.

Shen Tong pointed to the teahouse on the side of the road and said, "Let's go there and talk." ”

It's not time to get out of school, the teahouse is very deserted, only two old people who have been drinking tea here for a long time, and a bowl of tea soup and a plate of melon seeds can sit for most of the day.

When Dr. Tea saw the two children coming in, he didn't care, and he wouldn't recognize one of them as the famous Xiao Qishao.

The two of them sat in the corner, and the sunlight from the window could not shine here, it was dark and dark.

There was a birdcage hanging in the teahouse, Fang Fei ran over to tease the bird, Xiao Ren took this opportunity to tell the county lord of Zhongling.

Suspecting that the county lord of Zhongling was possessing martial arts, only Xiao Ren and Zhou Zheng knew about it, and they would not rashly inform King Qin before this kind of person had no evidence. So as not to startle the snake, they did not speak to the others.

But at this time, Xiao Ren told Shen Tong 1510.

Even he himself couldn't tell why, he just felt that Shen Tong might be more experienced than him and Zhou Zheng in this kind of thing.

In the Protector's Mansion, he had already seen Shen Tong's move.

Shen Tong was different from the people he knew before.

He still remembered that time in Sanlizhuang, how he was defeated by Shen Tong and a few of them, and even that Fang Fei was not really as stupid as he looked.

Shen Tong didn't interrupt him, she was very quiet and listened carefully, and when Xiao Ren finished speaking, Shen Tong said, "You suspect that she is an assassin?" ”

"Well, although King Yan died in front of the two armies back then, he died under the cold arrow, and then Yang Qin took over the Yanbei Army." Xiao Ren said.

Five years ago, the Yang family was able to send killers to kill King Yan in full view of everyone; Five years later, the Empress Dowager sent another killer to assassinate the King of Qin, so why not?

With the death of King Yan in front, King Qin acted cautiously, and the city of Xi'an was far tighter than before the two armies.

Shen Tong nodded: "This will be the most effective assassination." ”

"But I'm thinking, if the county lord of Zhongling is really an assassin, then how can she get out?" The county lord of Zhongling only brought six people, and these six people were all women, even if they were strong in martial arts, they would not be able to escape.

"Why get out? This kind of assassination will not get out, and whether they succeed or not, they will kill themselves. There are two types of assassins, one is the killer and the other is the deadman. If they choose to assassinate in this way, then they are not killers, but dead soldiers, and of course this kind of thing must be done by the dead soldiers, not killers. ”

In the chirping of birds and the chatter of the old man and Dr. Tea, Shen Tong's voice was low and light, but Xiao Ren heard every word clearly.

They are both assassins, but killers and dead men are different. The killer uses the knife to kill, but the dead man has to pay with his own life.

In major missions, even if the dead escape, death awaits them.

The killer's life belongs to him, and the dead have long since lost the right to control his own life.

Xiao Ren followed King Qin, grew up in the barracks, from childhood to adulthood, he learned to march and fight, even if he assassinated Yang Jie, he also used eight big ships and thirty crossbowmen, what Shen Tong said was something he had never come into contact with.

It was as if he had suddenly opened a window, and he saw the world outside the window, a world that was darker and colder than the window.

His eyes flickered and darkened, like a golden crow hidden behind a dark cloud.

"The county lord of Zhongling grew up in the nunnery since she was a child, and there are very few people in the capital who have seen her, that is to say, whether this person in the palace at this time is the real county lord of Zhongling is unknown. If her dead soldier, once the assassination fails, then the Su family will definitely identify her as not the county lord of Zhongling, and the real county lord of Zhongling must have been stiffened to death by Li Daitao on the way to Xi'an. ”

His voice was cold, chilling.

Shen Tong looked at him, at this moment, she could feel the hatred in Xiao Ren's heart, this hatred did not come suddenly, but had been suppressed for a long time, just like magma ready to go, just waiting for an opportunity, it would burst out, and it would be uncontrollable.

"If the assassination is successful, the Su family will also identify her as not the county lord of Zhongling, and maybe the body of the county lord of Zhongling will be found, the Su family may lose a few lives, but it will not hurt her muscles and bones, maybe the truth of this matter, even the Su family itself does not know." Shen Tong continued Xiao Ren's words.

Yes, only if even the Su family is kept in the dark, this matter will not be suspected.

The real county lord of Zhongling, eight or nine times out of ten, was replaced on the road.

It was only at this time that the gloom in Xiao Ren's eyes gradually faded, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a light smile.

"Shen Tong, you're so smart." It seems that this is the first time he has complimented her, and if all this is right for her, then she deserves praise.

"You too." Shen Tong said sincerely. She could think of this because she was a dead soldier in her previous life, and she had experienced and heard the same thing. And Xiao Ren is still just a half-grown child who has not yet tied his hair, she only says a few words, and he can understand it at all, he is not only smart, but also wise.

Xiao Ren's smile deepened, from childhood to adulthood, he grew up in praise, he has long been accustomed to the sound of praise, but whether it is King Qin's affirmation of him, or other people's praise of him, it seems that all of them are not as comfortable as the words "you too".

So are you.

"Shen Tong, you helped me again, I still have to thank you for finding an opportunity."

"Don't look for a chance, there's a chance now."

"What chance?"

Xiao Ren was puzzled, he looked into Shen Tong's eyes. Shen Tong's eyes were as quiet as the first time she saw them, and she suddenly winked mischievously at him.

"An opportunity so that you don't have to hide it from King Qin anymore." Shen Tong smiled, smiling coquettishly, revealing snow-white teeth.

"I hide the prince's ......" Xiao Ren was slightly stunned, Shen Tong on the other side smiled like a flower, Xiao Ren suddenly realized, "You! ”

"Yes, it's me, this is an opportunity, you can tell King Qin that you found Shen Tong."
