Her name is Hong Tianyou.

Qin Beiyang paused: "Sister Ayou, it's the first time I know your real name. ”

"The Young Heavenly King Hong Tian Guifu is my grandfather. Since the fall of the Kingdom of Heaven, he has lived in seclusion on Taibai Mountain, and is also the second generation of the Heavenly King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and lived until the year of Gengzi, and ascended to heaven at the end of his life. ”

"It was also the year I was born."

Ah You smiled faintly: "Gengzi Nian, my father, the only son of the Young Heavenly King, became the third generation of Heavenly King. Three years later, my twin brother and I were born. We are the last heirs of the kingdom of heaven. When he was six years old, there were traitors in the kingdom of heaven, and the Qing court dispatched the elite of the new army to raid Taibai Mountain and break the castle with explosives. My brother and I were taken prisoner and transported to Beijing. ”

"It was the first year of Xuantong, 1909."

It was a year when Qin Beiyang's fate was completely changed.

"We twin brothers and sisters were sent to the Regent's Mansion in Beijing by an old eunuch. It was a spring afternoon, and the regent was young and liked to play with the birds in the cage. I was taught that all Manchu officials and nobles were demons and monsters, either with a wolf head or a fox tail, but I didn't expect to be a gentle scholar. The regent showed compassion and ordered my brother to be sent to the harem as a eunuch and me to be a prostitute. ”

"Old eunuch?"

"Brother, do you remember? The old eunuch disobeyed the order of the regent and secretly escorted us to the Qingxi Mausoleum, wanting to make a boy and a girl with mercury and bury it for Emperor Guangxu! ”

"Yes, on the first night I arrived in the underground palace, I rescued you from the clutches of the old eunuch, but unfortunately I couldn't save your twin brother."

"From that night on, I will treat you as a brother who is closer than my own brother."

A brother who is closer than his own brother? Qin Beiyang blushed a little when he heard this.

There is a back door in the Heavenly Library, which goes deep into the stone corridor in the Taibai Mountain. After a few rounds, I was faced with another secret room, and the words "True God Temple" were engraved on the door.

Ah You pushed open the door of the temple, and in front of the ever-bright lamp lit by the merman's grease, flowers, fruits, and dew were enshrined.

In the depths of the heavy curtains, a boy sits in a bright yellow robe, embroidered with a dragon on his chest, and wears a cylindrical gold crown on his head. The boy was only six or seven years old, and his face seemed to be covered with silver powder, and he looked like a life, but it was a little weird.

Qin Beiyang recognized the boy.

"Brother, he's also my brother."

Ah Yu put on three sticks of incense. The boys and girls of that year were originally going to be secretly martyred for Emperor Guangxu. Today, the virgin has grown into an eighteen-year-old girl, but the boy is forever imprisoned at the age of six, becoming the god of Taibai Mountain, the object of worship of the Assassins.

"Why is he on Taibai Mountain? I remember, twelve years ago, wasn't he buried outside the Xiling Fence by order of the mausoleum overseer? Qin Beiyang's vest was cold: "His body and body are full of mercury, let alone twelve years, even if it is 1,200 years, it will not rot." ”

"Brother, five years ago, when Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor, I was rescued from the Ordos grassland by Tuhuan and returned to Taibai Mountain and crowned as the master of the assassins. I led everyone to rush to the outside of the wall of the Qingxi Mausoleum and excavated the brother who was buried that year. Because of the mercury, he did not decay and was sent back to Taibai Mountain, where he was enshrined in the Temple of the True God for eternity. ”

"If I hadn't saved you, then what was enshrined here would be a pair of boys and girls."

Ah You grabbed Qin Beiyang's hand and said, "Brother, for saving your life, Ah You must repay you." ”

"Sister, the meeting between the two of us in childhood is a matter of fate, not my kindness to you."

"Brother, my childhood lasted until I was six years old - I watched my father being shot to death by the Qing army, and my mother being gang-raped by a dozen big men and jumping off a cliff into Hell Valley. I saw a river of blood flowing from Taibai Mountain, and my brother and I were locked in iron cages and escorted to Beijing like cattle. I must protect myself from revealing my identity, I am the last descendant of Heaven. Since then, my childhood has been spent in the gates of a mansion in Beijing, locked in the backyard of the mausoleum superintendent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

Qin Beiyang sympathized with the illness and said: "Sister Ayou, you don't have a childhood, and I grew up in the underground palace, I also have no childhood." ”

Walk out of the temple of the true god, open the pane at the end of the secret passage, and see a bright moon, hanging high in the sea of clouds.

"The head of the green dragon, the white dragon tail, the child begs for joy on a rainy day. The wheat is browned, and the dragon king is started. Big down and small down, the first one to eighteen. Mahasattva......"

Ah You sang a song to the moon, the children's song she sang when she and Qin Beiyang first met: "Actually, this "Mahasa" is the contact code of the Assassin Order. ”

If life is only as first seen, after 12 years, looking at the eighteen-year-old A You, I will be shocked to find that her heart is more like a weathered woman.

"I've never dreamed of killing all of you assassins......"

"I'm sorry!" She leaned out of the window and looked at the pitch-black abyss, "Brother, if you want to avenge your parents and yourself, please push me down." Ah You will not have any resistance, let alone a word of complaint. ”

"Don't be stupid!" Qin Beiyang hugged the eighteen-year-old girl back, "You are really my enemy!" ”

"Blame it on why you saved me from the old eunuch twelve years ago."

Ah You buried his head in his arms, like a hot potato, not to eat, not to throw it...... "I don't blame you, only Ah Hai." ”

"No bones of Ah Hai have been found in Hell Valley, but the Assassin Order has issued a kill order, and he won't live long!"

Eighteen-year-old girl, said viciously.

Qin Beiyang calculated in his heart, how far is the day of revenge with his own hands?

"Brother, Ah Hai's rebellion, in addition to coveting 500 tons of Tsarist gold, also penetrated my mind - he knows that I am devoted to you, and it is expected that there will be you without him, and he without you. As for Daddy, he is a loyal Heavenly Minister. Whatever I choose, he will obey unconditionally, even if it means that he will die. ”

The rules of the Assassin Order are as strict as those of China's 2,000-year-old monarchy. The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Dad can do it, but Ah Hai can't.

As he spoke, the east was white, and the sea of clouds was shining with golden light, which was rare to see on the flat ground for a lifetime, but in the eyes of the children who grew up in heaven, it was commonplace.

"Sister, who is Ah Hai?"

"Meng Po told me that one year in the lunar month, there was a middle-aged man who braved the heavy snow to climb Taibai Mountain, and took a fifteen-year-old Ah Hai, a boy with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, who was introverted and rarely spoke. The person who escorted the mountains of Ahai, called himself 'Sichuan Daoren', his father was a general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, followed the winged king Shi Dakai to the west, was defeated on the bank of the Dadu River, and lived in seclusion in the mountains of western Sichuan. The man had a thick black beard, a long face, a high nose, and spoke with a thick accent. He swore allegiance to the kingdom of heaven and sent some children to Taibai Mountain every year as a blood gift. ”

"Blood?"

He remembered the Turkish Guards, Christian boys in the Balkans, who had left their parents since childhood and sent to Turkey to train the fiercest warriors who had conquered almost half of Europe.

"He assured that the children were orphans without a father or mother, of noble origins, gifted with brilliant bones, and had what it took to become a top-notch assassin."

Qin Beiyang closed his eyes, and the face of a man with a thick black beard, a long face and a high nose appeared in his mind, as if he had found the source of evil......
