Chapter 002: The Unreliable Man in Black

People have to believe in fate.

When I got into the carriage and was still disappointed that I had not personally participated in the pursuit; I was still thinking that because of the rash appearance of this assassin, I ended my trip to the Yuan Festival early.

Suddenly, I faintly heard a groan coming from under the car. That's right, the sound of moans coming from under my feet.

Du Ruo looked at me suspiciously, asked me if I was uncomfortable, my eyes rolled, and for some reason, I lied for the first time in my life.

"Ah, I'm a little tired, so sigh."

The carriage moved slowly, and the moaning under the carriage began to become more frequent. I had to talk to Du Ruo in the car, so as not to make Du Ruo suspicious.

"Du Ruo is fifteen this year, right? It's almost my birthday, right? By the way, yesterday's gnocchi was really good, who did you learn from......"

Seeing that I was about to arrive at the gate of King Zhao's mansion, I hurriedly lifted the curtain and instructed Li Da, who was sitting on the gang to catch the car: "Li Da, the carriage enters the backyard and prepares grain and grass, so you don't have to disturb the horses anymore." It's a hard night to do, so let's have a good rest. ”

"Yes, according to Miss." Li Da answered honestly.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Zhao Wangfu, Du Ruo helped me out of the carriage, I looked down at the carriage, and thought to myself: "He won't be stupid enough not to understand what I say, probably not." ”

"Miss! What do you see? It's home. Du Ruo urged me to hurry up, so I had to take her hand, turn around and step into the palace.

After entering the palace, I found that my father had not returned from the palace. I thought to myself that my father must have encountered some delay, or some major or troublesome matter.

Seeing that it was not early, I reasoned that I was tired and was going to lie down on the wooden bed early to rest. After Du Ruo retreated, I hurriedly changed my clothes and sneaked out of the house to the stables in the backyard.

At this moment the horses had unloaded the wagon, had eaten enough food and grass, and lay down early to rest, and the carriage was tilted and idle, quietly waiting for something.

Seeing that there were no people around, I tiptoed to the front of the carriage and whispered tentatively: "Hero, hero, are you there?" ”

There was no sound from the carriage, and I asked a few more tentative questions, but there was still no answer. I looked down at the bottom of the carriage, and it was really empty.

"Hey, I was kind enough to help you hide it, but I didn't say a word of thanks, so I just said goodbye?" I was annoyed, but I didn't want a voice coming from behind me.

"Is the girl waiting?"

I turned around and saw a half-masked man in a nightcoat standing in front of me, exactly like the Assassin who smashed the lantern.

"Ha, you still have a little conscience." Seeing a living assassin standing in front of me, I couldn't wait to ask, "Tell me how you assassinated the captain?" Is there an order from some sect? Or did someone else pay to hire you? ”

The man in black was confused by my serial questioning, but his attitude was not as indifferent as I imagined. "Hey, I'm a killer, do you want to respect my profession? At the very least, you have to be scared. ”

Hearing this, I immediately pretended to be afraid, clasped my hands on my shoulders, and trembled: "Oops, I'm scared to death!" Then he couldn't help but be curious, and continued to ask: "Okay, tell me quickly, how high is your martial arts?" How much did you earn this time? Aren't you afraid that the government will arrest you and kill your head? ”

"Why has the problem changed again?" The man in black looked at me with a confused expression, "Don't you care about my name?"

I couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Do the Assassins still have names?" That's not looking for death. ”

The man in black was stunned for a while, and sighed: "I really shouldn't be waiting for you here, no matter what, today is your life, if he uses it in the future, he will definitely appear on time and return it at any time." With that, he bowed to me and walked towards the back door.

Seeing him walking towards the back door, I couldn't help but chase after him, "Are you going to slip away?" ”

"Otherwise, I still have to stay overnight in the house?"

I couldn't help but be annoyed: "Who wants to keep you, I mean, aren't assassins all heroes who fly off the wall and disappear without a trace when they jump, how can you go through the back door, it's too unprofessional!" ”

"Miss, I'm injured, and you let me fly off the wall, you still have a little humanity." The man in black opened the back door, turned his head and threw a tael of silver to me, "This is the carriage fare, in the future, we should not meet." ”

I took the money and said angrily, "You assassin is too unreliable! ”

The man in black paid no attention to my complaints, and even in the night, when I saw him turn around, he rolled his eyes at me with his exposed eyes.

I was about to have a seizure when I suddenly heard Du Ruo's voice calling me.

"Miss, Miss, where are you, the master is looking for you!"

I hurriedly bolted the back door and ran quickly back to my garden. At this moment, Du Ruozheng was in a hurry to call me at the door, and when he saw me running out, he complained a little: "Miss, where have you been in the middle of the night, my lord is looking for you in a hurry!" ”

"Oh, I'm going to the backyard carriage to find something, why do I have to report to you." I deliberately disagreed with her reaction, and sure enough, Du Ruo's face was a little embarrassed, seeing this, I hurriedly changed to a soothing tone, but I still complained. "My father is back, looking for me for something, so anxious."

"The master didn't say it, he just said that it was a very urgent matter." Du Ruo responded to me carefully, and finally urged, "Miss, let's go quickly, the master should be in a hurry." ”

I wonder in my heart, is it related to the assassination of the captain tonight?
