Ji Chongguang turned his body in a different direction, blocked Chu Ning inside with half of his shoulder, and said to the black-clothed man in front of him: "I heard that last month, in the midst of heavy guards, you helped your master assassinate a disobedient Jin State official in public, and tracked for thousands of miles, in the southwest mountains, and slashed the traitor who fled from the Xun clan. Now, you should be ranked first among the 'six nos' under the Xun family, right? β
The six major families of the Jin Kingdom, each with their own strengths, among which the Xun family is the most proud, is the killer under the door, after layers of training and selection, the final one out of a hundred passers, can get the name at the beginning of the word "nothing", which represents washing away all the past, and has since become an assassin who walks in the dark night and does not see the light of day.
Among these assassins, the top six, known as the "Six Nothings", are the top masters of the Xun Clan's killer team, solving all kinds of problems for the Xun Clan, of course, the method is very simple and rude, and they are killed.
In recent years, Liuwu's assassination skills have become more and more extreme, and every time he completes a beautiful assassination, his ranking will change somewhat, but these six most powerful people have not been surpassed for many years. Gradually, when people mentioned the "six nothings", they became specifically referring to these six mysterious assassins - no mediocrity, no night, no nothing, no impermanence, no result, and no luck.
And the one who has occupied the first place of the Six Nothings for the longest time is Wuyong, no one knows where he came from, what his real name is, and even when he walks down the street, no one can recognize him, because his face is too ordinary, a plain face, without any features. It was only when he buttoned up his iconic hat and dressed in black that it meant that someone was going to die at his hand.
He almost never missed, the only exception was Ji Chongguang, who had come to Dongqi countless times in person to complete this task that had been delayed for many years.
But this assassination target is still alive and well, holding a girl in his arms, and speaking in a low tone and full of anger: "A top killer like you should treat every assassination process as a work of art and polish it, right?" Shouldn't there be a minimum of respect for the target of the assassination, and is it a kind of ...... for me to set up an ambush with irrelevant others What about blasphemy? β
Chu Ning nestled in his chest, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh softly, and quietly twisted his arm again, and whispered, "What do you mean by irrelevant others?" β
Ji Chongguang quietly retracted his arm, grabbed her moving hand, and leaned over with his head tilted. Chu Ning thought that he was going to express some lofty opinion, so he quickly leaned his head forward and stared for a long time, but only heard him spit out three words: "Are you stupid?" β
Chu Ning used two fingers to twist the inside of his arm......
Most of Wuyong's face was covered by the hat, and he couldn't see what his expression was at the moment, he stood quietly in place for a moment, without saying a word, turned around and walked out of the cave step by step.
After making sure that he was far away, Chu Ning asked: "He is alone, why don't you simply kill him while he is in Dongqi, lest he come to pester you again in the future?" β
Ji Chongguang attached himself to her forehead, but his expression became serious: "It's useless, the reason why Liuwu can become Liuwu is because they can't be killed, and they can't be regarded as human anymore." β
Chu Ning wanted to say something more, but Ji Chongguang had already moved his body and was about to stand up: "Can you go?" Chu Ning immediately grabbed his sleeve, blinked his eyes and said pitifully, "I can't do it." β
"Didn't you say you weren't hurt, why can't you go?"
"You've been hunted down for more than ten years, haven't you heard that sentence?"
"Which one?"
"I'm so scared that my legs are weak......"
ββ¦β¦ Well, you win. β
Ji Chongguang, who has always been calm and elegant, stood up very helplessly, and walked down the mountain with difficulty in this posture of "a monkey on his shoulders and a monkey on his chest". None of the two "monkeys" stopped, and the nine-tailed monkey on his shoulder kept trying to stretch out his paws, trying to play with Chu Ning's head. The nephrite warm fragrant monkey in his arms was finally able to speak, chattering endlessly and full of various questions: "It turns out that you have a spirit pet, I thought you didn't?" β
"Does this monkey have a name?"
"Do monkeys eat a lot?"
"Do monkeys usually shed their hair?"
"Monkey ...... Not...... Why are you biting me? β
β¦β¦
When returning to the city, Ji Chongguang put Chu Ning behind the altar of the Suyin family, and pointed his finger at the tip of her nose to warn: "Next time there is danger, call me with a jade ring, remember?" β
Chu Ning's face flushed slightly, and he twisted on him a few more times, stood on tiptoe and pecked lightly on the side of his face, and then ran away.
She has never been like any girl, Cheng Huan, wanton coquettishness, today, this man, heard her lie and said that she didn't want to leave, so he really didn't tell her to go by himself. This kind of pampered little joy makes people can't help but indulge in it from the inside out, even if it is poisonous honey, they are willing to drink it all.
When they returned to Tingfeng Courtyard, Xian Chen and Ming Instant were both staring at her, Chu Ning walked in front of the two of them, suddenly turned back again, stared at Xian Chen's eyes and asked, "You have seen the black man last night, right?" β
"Yes...... Have you seen it...... Once or twice......" Xianchen was nervous, his whole face turned red, and he stuttered uncontrollably.
Out of the corner of her eye, Chu Ning caught a glimpse of Su Tianxin standing at the door of the room, looking in her direction, if she wanted to ask, she suddenly couldn't ask a word, she knew that Su Tianxin was such a person, and what she didn't want to say, no matter how she asked, it was in vain. Chu Ning remembered that the young and handsome priest he saw in the mirror in the past was also from the Jin Kingdom...... But the priest's face was nothing like the killer's.
After this incident, Chu Ning didn't go out for a few days, she re-practiced the spell according to the method that Wu Yong mentioned, she didn't have to use spells, she didn't have to use any carrier sometimes, as long as the desire in her heart was strong enough, she could conjure anything she wanted.
Under the great joy, some worries surfaced, and after practicing this method for only a few days, Chu Ning felt that the crescent-shaped scar on his cheek became more and more uncomfortable. At first, it was just a little swelling and itching, like the feeling when the wound was about to heal, but then the feeling became more and more intense, so that half of her cheek was in excruciating pain, and she covered half of her face and walked around, and everyone else thought that she had a toothache.
Chu Ning estimated that this was mostly because she had changed the method of using magic, and Ji Chongguang had already said that if she practiced according to the method of the Jin Kingdom, she must find a real royal family as soon as possible.
Seeing that Su Qianyu's one-month period for taking charge of the matter was about to expire, according to the originally agreed order, it would be Chu Ning's turn next. Coincidentally, at this time, news came out in the palace that King Qi's illness has become more and more serious recently, and I am afraid that there is evil in the palace, and some new inner priests need to be added to the palace to be on duty.
If in the past, there was another set of complicated processes for the selection of inner priests, and it was necessary to go through layers of examinations to select people with solid skills and calm temperament, and then slowly become inner priests. But this time, it seemed that something was urgent in the palace, and a list was drawn directly from the people who practiced in the Spirit Bird Terrace, asking these people to prepare as soon as possible and take turns to serve in the palace. The names of Chu Ning and Su Jinyao are on this list.
Several major families in the capital city have been selected, and the inner priest only chooses women and not men, which has also caused people to discuss. Some people say that this is the king of Qi wants to elect a new prince, and before determining the prince candidate, he will first select a wife for the princes. Some people also speculate privately, but I am afraid that King Qi wants to take this opportunity to confine the young ladies of the Lindu family in the palace to prevent these powerful families from having ulterior motives.
One evening, all the newly selected priests waited at the southwest gate of the palace to check that they were in order. The way the palace guards inspected was also very special, using a fox with a red fur like fire to smell the smell of these young ladies. It is said that if there is evil in it, this little fox will be irritable.
The rules in the palace, no one can say anything, so they can only let the little fox sniff around with an uncomfortable face. The fox itself has a strange smell, and no one believes in using it to identify evil.
Chu Ning and Su Jinyao arrived a little late, so they lined up at the end of the long line. After that accident, Su Jinyao fell ill again, she was much thinner than before, her face was pale and pale, not as high as before, and the purple Yuan Luo Zhu hanging on her forehead was also much darker than before, and it was obvious that her body was still not very good.
The two of them didn't have anything to say, Su Jinyao stared at Chu Ning for a while, snorted and said, "I know that you got Jiayin, I don't care who she is, even if I'm not a mother...... The child born to Princess Ankang, I will never recognize this woman of unknown origin. β
Chu Ning turned his head: "Whether you recognize your mother or not, and who you recognize as your mother, is your own business, you don't have to tell me." I don't have a surname, and I don't understand these complicated relationships between surnames. β
The two of them turned their heads away, and neither of them paid any more attention to the other.
The girls in the long queue were inspected by the little fox one after another, and when they arrived at Chu Ning and Su Jinyao, something unexpected happened.
The little fox sniffed Chu Ning several times with the tip of his nose, revealing a puzzled expression, neither showing permission nor irritability.
Seeing that it had dragged on for a long time without any results, the guards asked Chu Ning to wait aside and asked the little fox to check on Su Jinyao first. As soon as she approached Su Jinyao's body, the little fox let out a piercing cry, and its two front paws scratched at her violently, "smack", and pulled a hole in her robe.
