Xuan Ming was lying on the bed, his face was pale, and he raised his body slightly. Minglong is feeding him water. Xuan Ming saw Jin Se and raised his head to look at him, there was something complicated in his eyes. Jin Se couldn't read it. After a while, Xuan Ming said to Jin Se:

"Thank you." Jin Se didn't reply, stepped forward and pressed him back to the bed, and covered him with the quilt:

"You better rest, you've just been detoxified, and your injuries aren't healed yet." Xuan Ming lay down obediently, seemed to remember something for a while, and asked:

"How's your mission going?" When Jin Se heard this, he pouted:

"It's basically smashed. It could have been carried out well, but it turned out that he met the eldest prince halfway and destroyed the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence. Jinse shifted his steps and sat down in a chair not far from the bed.

"The Great Prince?!" Ming Long was startled, and then looked at Xuan Ming's face with a thick layer of mist. Seeing Xuan Ming's expression, Jin Se knew that there must be bad news, so he continued.

"Although there are rules in the cabinet, there can be no collusion between killers. Today it's all my own people, so I'll just say it. After speaking, he coughed and gave Minglong a look. Minglong seemed to understand something, got up and walked to the door, and opened a crack in them. I glanced left and right. He closed the door again and nodded at Jinse. Jin Se lowered his voice and continued:

"My mission is to kill Taichang Shaoqing Li Shuheng. As a result, Shangshu Zuocheng also arrived at the Drunken Immortal Building, with a young man. After Liu Shuheng was poisoned and died, the man thought that Shang Shuzuo Cheng had killed Liu Shuheng. Shang Shu Zuo Cheng was in a hurry to reveal the identity of the young man in order to protect himself. Therefore, in order not to leak the news that he went to Yangzhou, the eldest prince was drunk in Xianju, and no one was left. Except for me and a little girl named Qingyan. After speaking, Jin Se glanced at Minglong and Xuanming. Both of them frowned deeply at this time. After a while, Minglong said:

"Can you say that again? I don't really understand. Jinse rolled his eyes.

"It looks like the world is going to be in chaos." Xuan Ming said lightly, startling both Jin Se and Ming Long.

"What do you mean?" Minglong asked. Xuan Ming turned sideways, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face:

This means that the emperor is old and sick. Although the crown prince is the prince, he has the eldest prince against him. To put it bluntly, it is the housework of the emperor's family, and the two sons compete for the position of their father. However, it seems that this matter is not so simple. ”

"How?" Jin Se and Ming Long said in unison. After speaking, the two of them gave each other a blank look. Xuan Ming exhaled, coughed twice, and continued:

"My mission is to kill the salt merchants of Suzhou. On the way there, I was still wondering why a small salt merchant who didn't know martial arts and didn't have much power would pay a lot of money to the cabinet and let me kill him. As a result, I got there and began to observe the terrain, and when I was getting ready, I noticed that there was a road of people wandering around the salt merchants. At first, I thought it was a salt merchant who had been hired to protect him, but then I found out that it wasn't. They also infiltrated the salt merchant on the night of my operation. They barged in just as I was doing it. I could have done nothing to leak, but their intrusion alarmed the salt merchants, and it turned into a vicious battle. In a hurry, the salt merchants brought in privately recruited soldiers. That's when I learned he was hoarding troops on his own. A few groups of people are mixed together, and there is no distinction between friend and foe. It's a tough battle. Xuan Ming paused and let out a long breath.

"That's when you got hurt?" Minglong asked with a frown. Xuan Ming looked up at him, a wry smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head:

"It's not. It was a very chaotic time. The salt merchant was hiding behind a heavy army, and I wanted to go around and attack him. As a result, after going to the roof, I found that there was a passerby outside the house, and it seemed that they had come to pick up the person who broke in. I wanted to wait a little longer, until the salt merchant's private soldiers and the other killer were almost exhausted before making a move, but I found that the salt merchant had prepared a fast horse and was ready to escape through the secret door. So I chased it all the way. Who knew that when the salt merchant fled, the movement was too loud, which alarmed the killers outside the house, and they also chased after him. So•••••• you get it? ”

"So it's you who was injured by the killer along the way." Minglong still frowned, "So, now the question arises, who is the killer all the way?" ”

"I don't know. But I want to know more, why did the salt merchant hoard troops, and who did he help hoard? Xuan Ming replied.

"If you follow you, it doesn't matter who the salt merchant is. Now there are two passers-by who want to kill him. If he were one of the two opposing relationships, he wouldn't have had to attract so many people. So it is highly likely that there are third forces in addition to these two forces. Jin Se said lightly, reaching out and touching his nose.

Xuan Ming looked up and saw Jin Se's movements, and understood that she was thinking about the problem again. This is Jinse's habitual move. From a very young age. Xuan Ming unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth. He felt that when Jin Se was thinking about problems, she was the most beautiful time, and that kind of concentration and calmness made Xuan Ming feel that she was very close to her. On the contrary, he didn't like Jinse to care too much about himself, and he couldn't forget who he was. He's a killer. Therefore, he must ask himself to be calm and rational at all times, although he also wants to stay in Jinse's rare gentleness. However, he was afraid that he would fall into it and could not extricate himself.

If he is strong enough, he can fall into the gentleness that is not easy to be felt. And yet he didn't. Jin Se escaped death before, he didn't help in any way, and now he sleeps here again. He felt useless. Thinking of this, I couldn't suppress the discomfort in my heart. Causes a sudden cough. Jin Se was so busy that he stepped forward to support him, patted him lightly on the back, and asked with concern:

"Are you alright?" Xuan Ming shook his head, and unconsciously reached out to push Jin Se away:

"It's fine." With a long exhale, calming his mind, a thought flashed through Xuan Ming's mind: "What Jin Se said is right. No matter what kind of waves the dispute between the eldest prince and the crown prince will cause, it will not affect us anything. However, both forces are now aware of the existence of a third party. And we, too, were unknowingly involved in this dispute. ”

Hearing this, Minglong and Jinse couldn't help but be surprised. Minglong seemed a little puzzled:

"The two of them are fighting for the throne, what does it have to do with us!"

"It's related!" Jin Se said coldly. Xuan Ming and Ming Long looked at her, and a terrifying coldness overflowed in her eyes: "We are the killers of the Phantom Tower. And the Phantom Tower is well known to everyone on the rivers and lakes. The power of the eldest prince and the crown prince is not obvious now, but there will naturally be unnecessary communication in secret, so no matter who this third-party force is, our Phantom Pavilion will also be included in the scope of the attack. ”

"Come on! How many years has it been since the imperial court said that it was going to destroy the Phantom Pavilion! Does it work? It's not like we don't know where we are! ”

"This time may be different. The Phantom Pavilion was not found before, but it may not have been leaked. Besides, the last two times have been people from the Phantom Pavilion Sect. Although everyone knows that the Phantom Pavilion is only using people's money to eliminate disasters for others, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will want to follow the vine. So, we have to be careful. Jin Se said.

"If that's the case, you might as well go and persuade the Pavilion Master not to take on this kind of task again." Minglong pouted: "Without the source of the task, we will naturally not face this kind of problem." ”

"It's too late to say that." Xuan Ming interrupted Ming Long, "Don't think about how to persuade the Pavilion Master first. Think about where we are now. Since the first two tasks were performed by us, if the later tasks are no longer performed, what will the people who want us to perform the tasks do? Even if the eldest prince and the crown prince didn't want to destroy the Phantom Pavilion in one fell swoop now, we invisibly created another enemy for ourselves. It's not a good idea. ”

"What are you afraid of! Our martial arts are not low, it's a big deal! Minglong said, his slightly raised chin revealing his confidence.

"Showdown? You think so much of yourself! Jin Se smiled and said, "Our martial arts are not low, but after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands." Although the Phantom Pavilion is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is really surrounded here one day, there is really no way to escape from the Ascension. ”

After listening to this, Xuan Ming nodded: "This is also a matter for the future." It's too early to get worried. It's Jinse, you're the most troublesome right now. ”

"Why? I didn't leave anything behind! When Jin Se heard this, he was a little anxious.

"The Great Prince. In order not to leak the news of his trip to Yangzhou, he can get drunk in Xianju, how can he allow you to continue to swagger. Xuan Ming looked at Jin Se, he tried to make the concern in his eyes not so obvious, "You also said that you saved a girl named Qingyan, where is she now?" Jin Se was stunned:

"She's in a thatched hut in the bamboo forest, so she should be safe."

"Safety? Now that two ministers of the court have died, there will be a lot of things in the court, and the eldest prince has no time to take care of you, and after two days, these things have passed•••••• you are good to say. If you stay in the pavilion and don't go anywhere, naturally no one will be able to find you. But what about the green smoke? Xuan Ming paused, "If you want to save her, save her, if you don't save her, then it will be her life." When Jin Se heard this, he regretted more and more that he had saved Qingyan, but it was not right to throw her down like this, and got up:

"Minglong, you take care of Xuan Ming. I'm going to look for Qingyan. As soon as he walked to the door, he was pulled by Minglong:

"What should you do when you leave? I don't know how to see a doctor! He just woke up, you take care of him, and Qingyan is handed over to me. With that, he opened the door and went out. Jin Se stood in place, at a loss.

Xuan Ming lowered his head and pulled the corners of his mouth, and sighed lowly. When Jinse heard this, he turned his head to look at him:

"What's wrong with you?" Xuan Ming pursed his lips and shook his head:

"Nothing."

"Oh. Then you can take a break. I'll get you something to eat. Jin Se said lightly, and went out after speaking.

Xuan Ming watched Jin Se close the door, coughed twice, and pulled the corners of the quilt up. There was an inexplicable feeling in his heart that spread, as if there were slender threads tearing at his heart, bringing out a trace of flesh and blood, twitching his nerves, and pain followed. It's a feeling I haven't felt in years.

It was as if he saw his mother again, floating like a pale piece of paper, on the heavy bed. The face of the flower is no longer as delicate as before. She held her hand tightly, clenched it weakly, and raised a broken smile.

Xuan Ming began to feel difficult to breathe, so he exhaled heavily. The door opened in an instant, and Jin Se, who was holding a dinner plate, walked in, saw Xuan Ming, who was pale, and hurriedly stepped forward and put down the dinner plate. Lift Xuan Ming's body with his hands, let him lean on himself, one hand to help him smooth his qi, and the other hand to catch his pulse. After a while, Jin Se seemed to breathe a sigh of relief:

"It's okay. Your meridians were a little retrograde just now. Come, eat the food first. After speaking, picking up the porridge on the plate, Xuan Ming wanted to reach out and take it, but was beaten by Jinse, so he could only obediently lean on her arms and let her feed herself. At that moment, Gen meditated, if time could stand still, it would be wonderful.

After eating, Jin Se got up to clean up her things, and Xuan Ming lay on the bed and watched her back. Suddenly, Xuan Jing thought of something:

"Not good." Jin Se was startled, and turned to look at Xuan Ming:

"What's wrong?"

"You hurry up and chase Minglong, the bamboo forest thatched hut is likely to have been targeted. It was too close to the Drunken Immortal Residence, and there was only Qingyan alone, so the people of the Great Prince were likely to be surprised to find out there. When Jin Se heard this, he was shocked.

"Okay." After saying that, he went out the door.
