Chapter 62: Born to Die
On the tenth floor of the Soul Tower, the light was dim, and Ling Chuyi was lying in the cage, sobbing in a low voice. The Falcon stood aside, taking everything in his eyes, smiling softly under the ghost mask.
Pain, heartache. Why do you feel this way? Ling Chuyi clutched her chest tightly, her eyes sad and dazed. Isn't it my mission to kill him? Why can't I breathe? It seems that something very important has been lost.
She had dreamed countless times of a life without a cage, without a dark tower, and with no worries to wander around the street market and enjoy the air of freedom. And now, she doesn't feel that there is anything important in life, only extremely remorse and guilt. The sunshine, the wind and rain, the noisy street market, the peaceful people, those things she once longed for, when she was by Xi's side, she had seen it through the eyes of the soul puppet. Not only that, but Xi also gave her a gift she never imagined - the feeling of being loved. There are some things that you don't take for granted if you never get them. It is only after you have gained and lost that you will understand how important those things are to you.
"What's wrong? Miss Ling. Falcon smiled, "Don't you really think of yourself as Mrs. Xi? Fake, after all, fake, don't forget who you are." ”
"Don't bother, Lord Laohu. Ling Chuyi wiped away her tears and stood up, "Now, can you fulfill your promise?"
"No hurry, we need to make sure. Then decide whether to send the girl on the road. The falcon shaved his gauntlet blade unkindly, and the blades touched each other, and there was a "clatter" sound like dry bones rubbing.
On the lower level of the Meizu Tower, an officer from the Soul Tower was hurrying towards the tenth floor. When he reached the ninth staircase, he was stopped by the two Praetorian Guards. The officer's brows furrowed, and his expression was quite displeased. It stands to reason that two ordinary Praetorian Guard soldiers are just errands, and as a soul tower guard, the things they come into contact with on weekdays are not at the same level as them, and these two guys actually dare to stop themselves.
But after all, these two people were brought by the Falcon, and it is better to have more than one thing less, so it's better not to conflict with the charm. Thinking like this in his heart, the officer arched his hand very reluctantly, and said helplessly with a little contempt: "Tell the Falcon that the white smoke has spread to the Soul Tower, and the target has been removed, so please leave the Soul Tower as soon as possible." With that, the officer turned and left.
After the officer left, a soldier looked at his companion and asked tentatively, "Captain Zhang, then I'll go and report." ”
Captain Zhang looked at the tenth floor, nodded, and did not reply. The iron mask was in the way, and I couldn't tell what his expression was.
The soldier walked to the tenth floor and turned the hallway. Suddenly, a man locked his throat from behind, and a thin sword pierced his chest. The soldier struggled in horror, and glanced at the attacker behind him: "Zhang, Zhang Zhenshui!"
"Zhang Zhenshui" didn't react, and the arm that locked his throat was even harder. The rapier flipped and tore the wound, blood gushing out. The soldier wanted to call for help, but he couldn't make a sound, and his eyes gradually turned dark·····
Near Meifu, twelve black shadows were distributed among the trees. Wearing black ghost masks and black tights, they were paired in pairs, each hidden in the shadows under the foliage, one hand clutching their weapons and the other clutching the flares of the charm. Under the ghost mask, a pair of eyes with different expressions stared uneasily at the flickering house in the center of the Charm Mansion.
The bell rang at a strange rhythm, and they understood that it was urging the man to do it quickly. After a long and anxious wait, some charmers finally couldn't hold on. In a shadow, a general opened his mouth and asked his companion, "Wei, ······ you?" Scared?"
The charm general known as "Wei" hesitated, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "I'm a little afraid." ”
"You say, just us, can we deal with the envoy?"
"If we go together, we should be able to. Don't worry too much, we're just reserves. I heard that His Majesty sent a very powerful killer to assassinate the envoy... Oh no, it's the assassination of Xi. Even if he can't kill Xi, at least he can hurt him. If we are really needed, twelve people will have absolutely no problem dealing with the injured Xi. ”
"I really didn't expect that one day I would be given the task of assassinating the Admiral. ”
"He's no longer our ambassador. The charm will not be qualified to decide anything, and His Majesty will kill whoever we want to kill. Maybe one day, you and I will target each other. ”
"The world is impermanent, even the envoy of Xi ······"
"Don't complain, if you and I can be called by the Falcon Envoy, it shows that he trusts us. When the Falcon returns to the position of Ambassador, our road will be much easier. Also, you've been very close to Xiu lately, so I advise you not to do that. After the Falcon ascended to the throne, the first thing was to secretly attack the forces of Xiu. ”
"Why? Are you so sure that the Falcon will take over the Ambassador?"
As soon as Wei was about to speak, an imperceptible light smoke rushed into the sky from the center of the Charm Mansion. Immediately, like a beacon tower, plumes of smoke rose into the night sky, stretching to the other side of the city. The smoke is very light, but it can't hide from the eyes of those who have a heart. Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and continued:
"It's over, but it's good that we don't have to do it. I really don't dare to do anything with Xi. Also, take my words to heart, although Xiu's strength is strong, his strength is not strong enough to be used like Xi. The charm generals are all His Majesty's swords, and when the Falcon was defeated by Xi, he still remained in the Charm Department, and was not eliminated like those previous envoys, which shows how much His Majesty trusts the Falcon in him. Xiu is the best of the charms except for Xi and Hu, and now that Xi is dead, Xiu and Hu are competing fairly, and there is no reason why Your Majesty should not choose a veteran you trust more. Now His Majesty is just making a show to let us know that he is a meritocratic leader, and at the same time to give the Falcon a sense of crisis, but in the end the winner will definitely be the Falcon. ”
"But when Xi challenged the Falcon and seriously injured the Falcon Dantian, his strength has been far less than before since then, and he is older, I'm afraid he won't be Xiu's opponent. Even if the Falcon gains His Majesty's trust, the weak are not qualified to lead the Charm Division. ”
"You don't know the Falcon too well. If he is really weak, why should Your Majesty trust him?"
"What do you mean?"
Wei shook his head: "When the Falcon was still an envoy, I went on a particularly dangerous mission with him. He's not as simple as you know······"
"Click", "click", two slight voices sounded from among the trees not far away, interrupting Wei's words. The two of them instantly became alert and looked in that direction together. In that direction, there is another group of ghosts where they will hide. The general who asked the question earlier gestured to Wei and motioned for his companion to stay here, and he scurried down from among the trees. His movements were light and barely made any sound.
Before the charm could land, a dark shadow fell from behind him. The charm general was taken aback, and as soon as her toes touched the ground, she immediately fell down and rolled to the side. The imaginary attack did not come, and he looked up with palpitations, only to see the black shadow lying motionless on the ground, a person, with his back facing up, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Only then did the charm react, and the black shadow did not fall behind him, but fell and fell behind him.
But where did he come from? And why didn't Wei react at all in the tree? Could it be······
A terrible thought rushed into his mind, and a cold sweat instantly wet his back. Before he could make any moves, a pair of boots landed in front of his eyes like ghosts.
It seems that even the air has frozen. In the face of fear, the charm general didn't even have the idea of escaping, just crouched in front of the boots and trembled.
"The last one. There are a total of twelve people, in addition to Falcon and Xiu, there should be seven more in the Meita. ”
A hoarse, trembling voice rang out from above the general's head. This voice was all too familiar to him, and Mei Jiang did not dare to raise his head, and squeezed out four words from between his teeth with all his strength:
"References······ See ······ Up, up, up, ······"
Before the word "make" could be spoken, Xi stepped on his neck with one foot. Looking at the subordinates who died tragically at his feet, Xi was full of emotion. On the night he killed Shan Chenggang, Ying Yanshu was completely suppressed by fear when he was writing about Poor Ying, and only an absolute strong person could do it. At that time, Xi asked himself that he didn't have that kind of strength, and now after selling his life to Xiang Yuan, he has finally reached the strength that surpasses the limit. Although it was only for one night, it was enough.
It's just that I don't know what happened to Ying Yanshu. The Falcon is not that simple, can that kid deal with it?
