Chapter 31: The Storm is Coming
The night was miserable, and Meng Yining walked lightly in the cold wind like a dexterous deer, which had a unique taste. She had just come out of the official post where her master Zhang Ji was and brought a few words from Gu Zi'an.
Under the dim lights in the Chengping Hutong of the capital city of Great Xia, the quiet atmosphere makes people feel empty, and the smell of dinner will be revealed in the house, and occasionally a kitten will pass by.
Along the tiles, Meng Yining reached out and touched the small tiles on the head of the house with water ripples, and was happy to be instructed by the master. The future, which was still uncertain, seems to have become clear.
While admiring the night scene, Meng Yining habitually judged whether there was anyone following him by the shadows on the ground behind him. She turned the path and passed a hawker that had not yet closed, when suddenly she caught a glimpse of a figure hurrying up after her from the bronze mirror hanging from the shop.
Someone is stalking themselves!
Who? Maybe it's the wave of people a few days ago.
Meng Yining paid careful attention and quickened his pace.
Gradually, she noticed that there were two suspicious-looking people standing fifty meters in front of her.
I should still be somewhat sure of dealing with these two people, if I can't beat it, I can also alarm the restaurants and vendors along the street, and the other party will definitely not fight. Let her solve it together, and extinguish Yan Rong's prestige!
There is a fork in the road in front of it, and there are small courtyards of middle-class families on both sides, which are quiet and rarely disturbed, and it is really good to lead people there.
Meng Yining walked to the alley, and the three people behind him made eye contact and immediately followed.
She didn't look back, but she could tell from the footsteps how far the three of them were from her.
Standing in the depths, she turned her back to them, held her sword, and asked slowly, "Who dare to ask who wants to follow me here?" ”
The man in black didn't answer, and simply drew his sword neatly and rushed towards Meng Yining. The sword glittered like lightning in the sky. The swordsmanship is not at all like that of the original Assassin.
The murderous aura pounced in an instant, and Meng Yining suddenly jumped into the air like a vigorous female leopard, and with a stroke of the long sword out of the sheath on his arm, he forcibly blocked the opponent's knife. Without giving the other party a chance to breathe, the whole person flashed to the side, and stabbed the other party's back mercilessly.
The sword flashed like cold light.
The other party was surprised by Meng Yining's martial arts, and he made all his tricks without reservation. One of them pulled five poisonous needles out of his bosom and shot them at her. The poisonous needle streaked through the air like a meteor, and it was impossible to see it really.
Meng Yining jumped on the spot, crossed the flying hidden weapon, and the speed of the attack became faster and faster, not allowing the other party to breathe a little! She swooped up behind them like a ghost, slamming her arms around one of them by the throat. Looked at the other two menacingly.
The two looked at each other, unsure whether to attack again.
Meng Yining was about to break the other party's neck when he suddenly felt someone behind him. She let go and suddenly turned back to take the move, a burst of medicinal powder filled her face, and the seven orifices were as hot as being bitten by ten thousand termites.
She couldn't open her eyes, she couldn't breathe, and the smell of blood instantly rose in her throat. The pain was too much to think, but he still clenched his sword. She closed her eyes and listened to the other's movements.
"Despicable."
Someone sneered contemptuously: "I heard that Miss Meng is strong in martial arts, and now I really admire it when I see it." But this penetrating bone scatter can make people endure the pain of the cone for five hours, but they don't even have the strength to open their eyelids. Miss Meng inhaled so much at once, and she was about to ...... when she thought about it."
Meng Yining didn't hear what he said, his consciousness gradually blurred, the blood in his body seemed to be scattered from his fingertips, and the whole person was cold and painful. She wanted to faint groggyly, but she felt a gentle heat suddenly rise in her body, which was caused by the poison of the Seven Leaf Sweet Herb Pill, like spring warming and melting ice, slowly detoxifying. The confrontation between the two forces in the body, although it was a little uncomfortable, but it was not as painful as the moment just now. Meng Yining pretended to faint.
When the group saw that Meng Yining did not move, they were excited that they had completed the task assigned by the young lady, and they could finally get a lot of gold and silver. It's just that I don't know what kind of holiday this girl has with Miss Benfu, so she has to bother so much. A few people dragged her into the carriage that had been prepared, breathed a sigh of relief, and began to chat with each other.
"You say that's what it looks like, why can't you get along with her?"
"I heard that the prince of Beiyang is going back to be the king. The person who tied him up will be killed if he doesn't get it right. ”
"Afraid of what? She doesn't know who we are? And it looks like this girl can't come out alive. ”
Another person also chimed in: "I think our eldest lady of Hefu is very good." The officer is neat. It's not like other girls who know how to cry when they fight. "That's right, the eldest lady doesn't care about others. She has always been kind to us dead soldiers. ”
"That is, don't you have to rely on our buddies for a lot of things that can't be on the table?"
"Say no more! Let's make money from this, don't talk about the master! "One person to the one who mutters.
"When Gu Zi'an is caught, we will take this trip."
Meng Yining didn't move, and listened to the conversation of several people word for word. It's Hemiao Miao again! I haven't bothered her yet, but she came to the door first! Fortunately, I wasn't injured, and I don't know what I'm going to do when I pull myself into the Crane Mansion? Does Lord Crane know about this? Why do you still want to arrest Gu Zi'an? There should be no enmity between them.
Meng Yining pondered in his heart, ready to act with his opinions.
The sachet that Le Yi gave was still hanging around her waist, and if they found out that she was missing, they might be able to find her soon. Meng Yining was completely relieved and prepared to meet Hemiaomiao.
The car drove through the potholed road, and Meng Yining was carried in through the small gate of the Crane Mansion. I don't know which inexperienced slave actually took her face down and dragged her hand and foot into the back room. Her eyes narrowed one by one, and she remembered every point on the road, rockeries, small ponds, palace lamps placed side by side, and green pine bonsai...... As long as the things you see, they are introduced into your mind without falling at all.
Fortunately, I brought a three-foot long sword with me today, if I took out my father's short sword, I don't know how to find it, but fortunately, the sword was hidden and no one could touch it.
After being dragged a long way, she heard He Miaomiao's sharp voice in the distance, instructing her subordinates to move her into the dark room.
After getting closer, Meng Yining saw He Miaomiao's cheesy red and pink dress dragging on the ground, and smiled contemptuously in her heart, she must be wearing a red-crowned chicken with flowers.
He Miaomiao's fingers poked Meng Yining's back, and she smiled: "Jing Chi can protect you for a while, can you protect a lifetime?" Look at you like a dead fish now. Don't you know, I was also on the street that day, and I saw Jingchi actually protecting you for the assassin! You're not worth as much as the beads in his hand! ”
It turned out that the scream I heard at the entrance of the alley that day was He Miaomiao, which was really unlucky.
"Hurry up and drag me in, I don't want to see her!"
