Chapter Ninety-Six: Assassination

The night was dark, and the most natural curtain fell.

"Master Hou, please take a look."

In the inner room of Ping'an Houfu, Zhang San handed a secret letter to Nangong Jin.

Nangong Jin received the secret letter, and couldn't help frowning slightly, the secret report was that Liu Fang, the squire of the border defense department, actually collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, deducting food and salary, causing the people at the border pass to live in misery.

"This man shall not stay any longer! This is the Emperor's secret order! "It turned out that Zhao Qi was not easy to start because people ran to the enemy country, so the task of assassinating people was naturally assigned to Nangong Jin.

And the location of the assassination is in Qingyun Country.

"This operation must be foolproof."

Zhao Si was on standby, looking at Nangong Jin's eyes, as if there was no expression, but it seemed to contain countless indifference and killing. Since following Nangong Jin, there has been no chance in this capital, and now this order has brought the hearts of the dark brothers to life.

"Yes." Zhang San bowed his head and replied.

"According to the requirements of the task, only a few people are needed to complete it, Zhang San, Zhao Si, you and I together. I hope you have an understanding of the danger this time, this matter is not that simple. ”

Nangong Jin's fingers kept sliding on the edge of the chair, and he lowered his eyes, and a trace of uncertainty flashed in his eyes.

"Yes." Zhang San replied simply.

"Once the matter is completed, return to the Hou Mansion immediately, understand?" Nangong Jin's voice was a little stern.

I heard that Zhao Si had a trace of confusion in his heart, why Hou Ye chose to return to the capital immediately instead of resting in the shadows.

Nangong Jin was naturally thinking about Song Jiayao in her heart, and she didn't know if she could catch up with the spring hunt in a month later when she went this time.

Zhao Si unconsciously raised his head slightly and glanced at Nangong Jin: "Yes." ”

Nangong Jin's hand gently tapped on the armrest, and finally said the last sentence: "Leave immediately, foolproof." ”

"Understood."

"Let's go down."

"Yes."

Zhao Si didn't take the secret order, all the orders above, she had already memorized it backwards, even if Nangong Jin didn't say anything about this assassination, she knew that it would not be easy, otherwise Nangong Jin would not go in person.

After all, Hou Ye hasn't made a move for a long time, and as for that Liu Fang's name, it has long been recorded on the roll call of the king of Hades.

"Four, did you say that Master Hou asked us to go back to the capital in such a hurry for the second miss of the Song family?"

Zhang San snorted and interrupted Zhao Si's thinking.

"What's going on with Master Hou is something we can discuss?"

"Hey, it's not that you and I are playing any official words, but then again, this assassination actually requires Hou Ye to go with him personally." Seeing that Zhao Si didn't seem to have the heart to gossip, Zhang San couldn't help but get serious.

"In this way, there must be some news in Liu Fang's hands that makes the emperor nervous."

When the sun was shining from the sky, the two had already disappeared from the Ping'an Marquis Mansion and left separately.

This road is far away, and the three of them ran and killed eight horses in a few days before entering the border of Qingyun Kingdom, as for why they are in such a hurry。。。。。。

Qingyun Country.

The city gate has not been opened, and the suspension bridge on the moat is still closed on both sides of the city gate, and before the city gate, there are already ordinary people who do not know how many ordinary people, or lying or standing, talk about the affairs of the family, and talk about the injustice of the world.

More people are silent, like a lifeless corpse, paralyzing themselves on the ground, but among these people, who can be sure that there are no dead people.

An old woman, like everyone else, looked up from time to time at the city gate that had not yet been opened, with a pair of dead fish eyes, and at the soldiers guarding the city like sculptures.

The difference is that she holds an embroidery needle in her hand, a stitch and a thread, and the things embroidered on the cloth are vivid.

"Squeak-squeak-"

The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, it was not a harsh sound, but it seemed to be a summoning order of life, all the people jumped up at once, the young people almost rushed to the front, and the old people in the back could only mumble quietly, and they didn't even dare to scold, after all, this is an era that lives by strength.

"So many people." In the patrol team on both sides, there were scattered patrolmen laughing and scolding.

"When don't you expect someone? Most of the money they have given has gone into your hands. A soldier who followed the man smiled.

"If you weren't my man, I'd kill you sooner or later." The city patrol said again, not even glancing at the man who had walked in front of him.

"Master Jun...."It was a stout man, standing in front of the city patrolman, but he looked a little trembling, holding a silver ingot of white flowers in his hand, which I don't know how many days he paid for food.

"Eh~ get out, get out." The city patrol took the silver from his hand, looked at it twice, waved his hand impatiently.

The man nodded and walked over, eager to carve a few words on his face to please the military master.

The team marched very slowly, and often some people who couldn't get the money, but didn't have the paperwork, were beaten badly, and then they didn't know where they went.

When it was the turn of the old woman who embroidered, it was already sunset.

"Wife, take the money." The city patrol looked at the old woman impatiently.

Ordinary people are reluctant to stand behind, and the more they stand behind, the more money they have to take out, but this old woman has let a few people go.

The old woman looked at the city patrol with trembling trembling, but when she opened her mouth, she was extremely hoarse: "The old body really doesn't have it in the countryside, so I risked dying to come here, this is the pattern embroidered by the old body, if you can see it, take it, when the old body honors you, please the grandmother of the family." ”

"Go, go, go." As soon as the sword in the hand of the defender of the city was horizontal, the old woman pushed him forward: "You don't have any money to enter any city, won't you find a place to starve to death?" ”

"Big brother, I look at the embroidery well, don't you know the goods, if you give it to the shy girl upstairs~" The young man who followed behind the defenders spoke.

The defenders of the city were happy when they saw the embroidery, and they raised their legs and gave the old woman a kick: "Uncle is in a good mood, go over." ”

"Thank you, thank you." The old woman walked over with a thousand thanks.

Just where no one could see, a glimmer of light flashed in those cloudy eyes, sweeping over the faces of the defenders.

Zhao Si was responsible for sneaking into Qingyun Country in disguise to find someone.

Zhao Si was taken into the shadows by Nangong Jin, that is, his medical skills were extraordinary, and he was put on top of the rivers and lakes, but he was afraid that the first-class master was also a few points worse than him, and now he was just an old woman, so it was naturally difficult for Zhao Si, and the kick of the defending army, Zhao Si remembered it in his heart.

"Master Hou, Zhao Si got in." Saying that, Zhang San looked at the master on the side, and shuddered in his heart, it would take a month to speed up so much this time, and if he came like this, he would definitely kill Liu Fang, who was stabbed by a thousand knives.

"Okay."

At night, Nangong Jin and the others climbed over the city wall and followed the traces left by Zhao Si to Liu Fang's hiding place.

Nangong Jin was dressed in black, disguised, and the killing intent in her eyes was hidden.

According to the information provided by Zhao Si, Nangong Jin came to the Qingyun Kingdom Border Town and County Commander's Mansion. Liu Fang, who was officially hiding here as the secret order to assassinate someone, fled to the enemy country with his country's secrets in hand. It is also the result of Zhang San's investigation.

The county mansion is heavily guarded, and the various sentry towers are rigorously defended, and there is a murderous atmosphere. The risk of this assassination is unpredictable. Now Nangong Jin sneaked in alone, and Zhao Si and Zhang San were outside.

Nangong Jin is like a predatory falcon, hiding in the dark night, waiting for the opportunity. In the middle of the night, the two guards at the back gate of the county mansion were a little tired, and their defense was lax, and Nangong Jin saw an opportunity. In a moment, Nangong Jin's vigorous body rushed to the back door of the house. When the guard saw someone, he hurriedly shouted, "You...... You", before the guard's words were shouted, the flying knife in Nangong Jin's sleeve had already slashed through the throats of the two guards, and there was no sound at once.

Nangong Jin changed into the guard's clothes and gently closed the back door. Nangong Jin suddenly frowned, feeling that something was wrong, the night at this time was a little terrifying, not a little angry, and the air in the house smelled of blood, as if he had just experienced a massacre. And this just confirms Zhang San's statement, this house is indeed strange.

Nangong Jin threw away the doubts in his heart and carefully searched for the location of the target in the mansion, not letting go of the slightest suspicious place. Suddenly, there was a lot of noise and the lights were on. Fila uttered a terrible cry, and hurriedly flashed into the grass, disappearing.

Then, the soldiers in the house rushed to all corners with a murderous face and waved their swords, and there were bursts of howls from the corners. After a while, a heroic man dressed in brocade clothes and armed with a dagger at his waist appeared. He smiled at a middle-aged man and said, "My lord, I've frightened you, and there are another batch of killers. ”

"Haha, there are seven princes by my side, who can touch me, thank you to the seven princes here." The middle-aged man said to the heroic man with a smile on his face.

The Seventh Prince replied quietly: "Lord Liu, it seems that the killer this time was sent by Zhao Qi, I don't know when the Lord will hand over the things to you." ”

Since the rebellion, Liu Fang has not handed over the things in his hands to anyone, and said that he would personally hand them over to the emperor of Qingyun Kingdom.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the seven princes of Qingyun Kingdom darkened, and his heart was even more annoyed, it was not that he had not searched it, but this Liu Fang was a chicken thief, and he didn't know what means he used, and he never found anything.

Nangong Jin heard their conversation in the grass and didn't dare to make a move, for fear of alarming the fierce government soldiers around him.

"Hmph, my lord, are you afraid that I will take your credit alone?"

"This prince doesn't know, there are things on my body that make Zhao Qi uneasy, it's really hard to tell the prince"

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince was unwilling to entangle, and the Seventh Prince patted Liu Fang's shoulder.

"Otherwise, Liu Fang wouldn't have to kill me!" Saying that, Liu Fang looked tired: "Don't say it, toss me for a night, I want to go back to the house to rest, Lord Wang." ”

Seeing Liu Fang like this, the Seventh Prince snorted even more coldly in his heart, he was really a greedy man for money and profit

"Your Excellency, please."

After the people left, Nangong Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and frowned, although he was not afraid of these government soldiers with his own skills, but he was discovered, and this assassination was even more difficult.

Nangong Jin slowly raised her head and watched as the lights around her went out, as if nothing had happened. Nangong Jin started the assassination operation again, and this time, he was more careful.
