Chapter 263: Is It Her?
Ruan Zhen saw it, a little inexplicable, I don't know what Su Muxian wants to do.
After a while, Su Muxian asked, "What's your name and where are you from?" ”
"Bahar, borderman." Bahar replied with a dull expression.
Su Muxian frowned and glanced at Xia Jin.
Naturally, he also learned this hypnotism technique from Xia Jin, and he had tried it with a few people before. But it wasn't 100% successful. When he encounters those who are more determined, his hypnotism will fail. Unlike Xia Jin, he can be almost 100% hypnotized. This naturally has something to do with how much he controls hypnosis.
Xia Jin nodded invisibly. Su Muxian's hypnosis of Bahar was successful, but Bahar used his real name and was also a border city. However, it is not surprising that the most brilliant lies are those in which most of the truth is mixed with a small number of lies, so that they appear to be true and credible.
With Xia Jin's approval, Su Muxian felt relieved and continued to ask, "What do you want to do with us?" ”
Bahar visibly hesitated.
Seeing this hesitation, Su Muxian's heart became more and more stable: people with strong willpower usually warn themselves not to divulge their secrets to others. This process of hesitation is a kind of knee-jerk resistance that he develops during hypnosis.
He immediately changed his tone, making it deeper: "What are you trying to do with us?" ”
Bahar's mouth twitched, and he said, "I want to kill you." ”
Ruan Zhen, who was standing next to him with a hint of disapproval, gradually became solemn. He unconsciously took a half-step closer, his eyes fixed on Bahar's face, lest he miss every word that came out of his mouth.
Su Muxian continued to ask in a deep voice, "Is it only the seven of you?" No one else? ”
Bahar hesitated again. This time, though, he quickly answered the question: "More than seven." There are twenty more who will be with us inside and out. ”
"When do you agree to do it?"
"Sub-hour."
Hearing these two words, everyone's faces changed, and they all turned their heads to look at the drip - because people are on duty at night. So they brought a copper kettle from the capital, and put it next to the fire.
Seeing clearly that the water level on the drip stopped at the scale of "Hai Shi" a little past, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Muxian turned his head again and asked, "Who ordered you to come?" ”
This time, Bahar clearly wanted to resist. He lifted his head, and his glazed eyes moved. Seeing this, Su Muxian hurriedly lowered his voice and asked. But this time, Bahar was not tempted by Su Muxian like last time. His head was getting crooked. His eyes were slanted as if he wanted to see Su Muxian's face clearly. Su Muxian hurriedly shook the jade pendant in front of his eyes. Soon, Bahar fell silent, and reverted to his sluggish state.
"Who ordered you to come?" Su Muxian asked again.
Bahar stared at the dangling jade pendant. After a while, he said in a daze: "Lord Jianing." ”
These four words surprised Ruan Zhen very much.
Although he belongs to the outer guard of the palace, he is only because he is reliable. He was also very familiar with the border line, so he was selected to escort Xia Jin. For the king of Yan tried to rebel and usurp the throne. He hadn't heard anything about it, but that didn't affect his judgment.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there should be a latent force in the court now, and there should be an illness of the emperor before. There was an emergency at the border pass, and then there was a sudden plague in the army. On the way, someone came to stop Xia Jin from going to the army to treat the sick soldiers, which was normal. This is the significance of their escort to Xia Jin. And they're ready for it.
Now people are coming, and that's right. But the main envoy is a prince minister in the court or the lord of the Northern Liang Kingdom, right? How did you become a delicate county lord? It's not the right rhythm at all!
Su Muxian raised his head, glanced at Xia Jin, and then asked, "Did she say that in our group of people, who must die?" ”
Once the barrier of will was breached, Bahar no longer had the slightest heart to resist, and said very obediently: "That Xia girl in your team. ”
Ruan Zhen looked at Xia Jin.
An Yishan's obsession with Su Muxian is not a secret in the capital, and Ruan Zhen has naturally heard of it. Now An Yishan actually sent someone to hunt down Xia Jin, this is ...... Jealous for Su Mu's leisure? But along the way, Su Muxian and Xia Jin didn't say a few words, they didn't seem to have love for each other at all?
As soon as this thought came to him, he frowned: is it really as simple as he thought? No matter how ignorant the county lord of Jianing is, he should know what kind of crime it is to stop Xia Jin from going to the army, right? Who would be so stupid as a person from a royal family?
After thinking about it, Ruan was shocked to find that Xia Jin didn't blink his eyes when he heard this, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his delicate face.
"This Xia girl is not a simple person!" Ruan Zhen's cognition was once again shocked.
He was personally received by the emperor and given the important task of escorting Xia Jin. Even if Su Muxian's status in the palace was higher than him, and he was still a waiting master, he did not doubt his leadership position in the team at all. After all, he is old, senior, familiar with the situation along the way, and his martial arts seem to be the most powerful. Su Muxian followed the team, either the emperor was not at ease and asked him to supervise him, or this noble son wanted to experience experience. He didn't think that Su Muxian had any real skills.
As a result, along the way, Su Muxian's ability greatly exceeded his expectations, not only could he hear the sound of horses' hooves in the distance very early, but also had such a strange ability, which made people unconsciously tell the biggest secret in their hearts, which made Ruan Zhen shocked and felt a chill in his heart.
Although Su Muxian has no conflict of interest with him, having such a strange person and unfathomable skills by his side always makes people feel uneasy and feel that his fate is not under control.
If it was just Su Muxian, it would be fine. After all, this is a person appointed by the emperor, and it is not surprising that he has some ability. But this summer girl is silent on weekdays, so quiet that people often forget her existence; Her body seems to be thin, even if she has been walking for more than a month and has no water for more than ten days, she is still neatly dressed, has a relaxed expression, and behaves elegantly, as if she is out to go out, and she does not see the slightest embarrassment and fatigue. is just such a woman who seems to be everyone's ladies, and between her hands and feet, she was poisoned by shapelessness and stunned a group of strong men. If she has evil intentions and takes advantage of everyone's fainting to directly cut off everyone's heads, or stuff poison into everyone's mouths, I'm afraid they won't even know how they died.
And now, knowing that the county lord sent a killer and the target was directly aimed at her, she didn't change her face, and she was a little calmer than Ruan Zhen, a person with a calm mind and rich experience, which really made Ruan Zhen unbearable.
As soon as Su Muxian heard that the messenger was An Yishan, he knew the answer to the latter question.
Don't think about it, the mastermind behind this matter is naturally King Yan. He used the banner of An Yishan, but he just wanted to have a reason to get out after Bahar and the others failed and were captured alive. An Yishan likes Su Muxian, and the whole city knows it. This time Su Mu came to the border pass, she mistakenly thought it was for Xia Jin, and sent someone to kill her, which is reasonable.
This kind of wrong thing done because of the jealousy of the youngest daughter, even if the emperor is angry, it is not easy to kill An Yishan, at most he can do some punishment, and he can't hurt King Yan at all.
Su Muxian continued to ask: "Is the plague spreading in the army also your troublemaker?" ”
Bahar shook his head: "No. ”
"Do you know who did it?"
"I don't know."
Then Su Muxian asked a few more questions, trying to get Bahar to confide in the evidence against King Yan, but King Yan was able to sit in the position of the prince for so many years, not only did he live well, but he also gave birth to a lot of children, not to mention anything else, the word caution alone is commendable. The purpose of Bahar's promotion is very simple and clear, that is, to kill Xia Jin.
In the end, Su Muxian had to ask himself: "Has the county lord ever instructed you to deal with me?" ”
"Caught alive." Bahar spat out three words.
Su Muxian turned his head, glanced at Xia Jin, and then said to Ruan Zhen: "We still have to go forward, these people can't stay." It would be enough to leave Bahar as evidence, and the rest of the people ......" He made a gesture of cutting off his head, and then asked, "Lord Ruan, what is your opinion?" ”
Ruan Zhen had no choice but to bow his head and obey orders at this time. He raised his hand and arched: "But according to Master Su's orders." ”
Su Muxian's gaze fell on Xia Jin's face: "Does Miss Xia have any medicine in her hand that can make Bahar faint all the way?" ”
Xia Jin nodded, took out seven or eight medicine bottles from his arms, selected one from them, and handed it to Ruan Zhen: "This is the antidote to the drug in the fire, when it's almost time, you ask everyone to put the medicine in their mouths, and then pretend to sleep in the tent." I'll add a generous amount of drug to the fire, and when the attackers come, they'll faint and be caught before they can do it. ”
Ruan Zhen was overjoyed.
After all, there were twenty people in the attackers, and the number was the same as them. Judging by the efforts of these people in Bahar, the sneak attackers are not much weaker. Even if they are prepared, when the time comes, they may not be able to resist it. Even if you can resist it, there will inevitably be casualties.
It would be great to be able to take down the enemy without blood.
He straightened up and bowed respectfully to Xia Jin: "Thank you, Miss Xia." ”
Xia Jin waved her hand and turned to walk towards the tent where she was staying.
Calamus and Mint had been looking worriedly for a long time.
"Let's go and go to sleep." She pulled the two maids into the tent.
The next bloody scene is better not to be seen by the two maids.
Ruan Zhen is also reliable, in order not to let the smell of blood here, thus arousing the vigilance of the sneak attackers, he asked his guards to drag the others except Bahar to a distance, and directly strangled them with ropes, without letting a drop of blood spill out.
"Miss Xia, what about Chen Yuying......" Long Qin asked Xia Jin outside the tent. (To be continued)
