Chapter 30: The Assassins
I didn't expect Xiaohu to be able to say that she was poisoned at a young age, it turned out that she underestimated this girl, she didn't understand this ancient medical skills, if Xiaohu was willing to help her sincerely, then wouldn't her chances of winning a lot more.
"Master, you ——。"
As soon as Guo Jing wanted to speak, Tang Ruyan raised his hand to stop him, and Xiao Er's voice came, "Several guest officers have been waiting for a long time, the weather is hot, let's first plate cold side dishes to reduce the anger." In a blink of an eye, he came to the table and put a plate of cold bitter herbs on the table, and filled the cup of new tea for the three of them.
Guo Jing is a person who practices martial arts, and his perception is naturally sharper than ordinary people, it is said that an ordinary kid should be aware of it even if he is ten meters away, but it is he who is careless, and the admiration for Tang Ruyan in his heart has added a little more.
"Thank you, we're still in a hurry, just get some simple ones, by the way, Guo Daxia, don't you need to fill up your wine jug?" Tang Ruyan smiled, suddenly turned his head and asked Guo Jing, Guo Jing was stunned, he never drank! But after seeing the hint in her eyes, she hurriedly untied the kettle bag around her waist, "Daughter is red, it's full." ”
Xiao Er hurriedly took the kettle and walked to the counter, found the wine jar with the three words "daughter red" pasted on red paper, squatted on the ground and poured it up.
Both of them noticed his movements, a dangerous light flashed in Tang Ruyan's eyes, and he threw a hint at Guo Jing to make a move, and when Xiao Er got up, there was already a trace of cold touch on the back of his neck.
At the same time as screaming, his body trembled, and the kettle bag in his hand fell to the ground, just a moment before he landed, a white water sleeve rolled up the kettle in time, and with a slight pull, the kettle fell into Tang Ruyan's hand, and Guo Jing also knocked it out when he had not yet shouted.
Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, all this happened too fast, that is, in the blink of an eye, the two people sitting next to him had already arrived at the counter. Although she didn't understand what it meant, there were rules in front of her, so she could only cover her mouth with her hands to prevent making a sound, and her big eyes were full of doubt and surprise.
Putting down Xiao Er, the two of them flashed to both sides of the cloth curtain, put their ears on it and listened to the movement inside, Tang Ruyan turned his head to look at Xiaohu, pointed to the teapot on the table, and made a motion of falling to the ground.
Xiaohu's face flashed with a strange brilliance, and he picked up the teapot and fell to the ground, "Ah, what are you doing?" At the same time, he covered his ears and screamed.
After such a big move, the two people standing on both sides of the door immediately felt a murderous aura coming from the inner room, glanced at each other, and prepared to meet the enemy, while the curtain was opened, the two of them shot at the same time, and after a few moves, they saw five people fall to the ground.
Tang Ruyan glanced at the corpses on the ground, the clothes on his body were all the same, and at first glance it was a premeditated assassination. "I don't know if we were unfortunate enough to enter the black shop, or if these people are just waiting for us?"
Guo Jing walked up to the men in black, squatted down and groped around them, and from the waist of each man in black, he found a bronze medal the size of a button, which was depicted with strange totems, like a symbol of some organization. Tang Ruyan didn't know much about the world, so he could only look at Guo Jing.
"This is the identity card of Qingfeng Xiaozhu." Guo Jing looked at the totems, put those totems into the cloth bag, and explained with Tang Ruyan's puzzled expression: "Qingfeng Xiaozhu is a well-known assassin organization on the rivers and lakes, and the people in the organization are good at evil arts, and can kill people invisibly, especially known for their light skills, coming and going like the wind. ”
Come and go like the wind! A figure instinctively flashed in his mind, Tang Lan, who had a cold body and claimed that her senior brother was also her imperial brother, or Jun Mo Ran, that was it. That's an extremely dangerous person. As a killer, she has undergone very systematic training in the modern world, and it is a compulsory course to see each other's inner world through the eyes of the other party, but she still can't capture any information from that man's eyes, and she doesn't know whether she is friend or foe.
There was only a gut instinct that told her that it was an extremely dangerous man, and that it was better to hide as far as she could.
"Breeze Boat?!" Xiaohu also ran over, looked at the corpse on the ground and smacked his tongue, "Wow, the person who has been smelling the breeze for a long time is mysterious." Xiaohu's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, looking at the corpse on the ground, and said disdainfully: "It turns out that it's nothing remarkable, hasn't it been put down by the two of you in a few clicks?" ”
Things are not so simple, such a arrangement waiting for their arrival, presumably more than these few people.
Thinking of this, Tang Ruyan was shocked, "We have to get out of here as soon as possible." Just as they were about to go out, Tang Ruyan grabbed them again, "Wait." ”
"What's wrong? Sister? ”
"We're too conspicuous in this way, let's change into their clothes." Tang Ruyan pointed to the corpses on the ground, Guo Jing immediately took off their clothes, Tang Ruyan only asked him to take off the clothes of the two people, "Xiaohu doesn't need to change." Then he dragged their bodies into the inner chamber and hid them.
After changing clothes, Guo Jing handed Tang Ruyan a waist card he had collected, "Put it on your waist." ”
After dressing up, the three of them left from the side of the backyard over the wall, all the way along the path without people, and when they passed the kitchen, Xiaohu took some melon and fruit pastries and ate them while walking.
"Stop!" Guo Jing walked in front, suddenly stopped, and whispered to the two, the two of them were immediately on high alert, the pastry in Xiaohu's hand was choking in his mouth, and after hearing Guo Jing shout to stop, he didn't dare to move, with a painful expression on his face.
After a while, a series of subtle footsteps rushed by from the other side of the wall, and it was not until the footsteps were far away that Guo Jing turned to look at Tang Ruyan, "Master, there are their people everywhere here, where are we going?" ”
Where to go? It seems that the other party has spent a lot of manpower! But so far she still hasn't figured out whether those people are coming for her, and if so, then the people who want to deal with her are too strong, and she has no intention of fleeing at first; If not, then – it's better to be on guard.
In the quaint town, the houses are very short, and the outer wall is even lower, Tang Ruyan looked around, and saw that there was a yard in front, the yard was overgrown with weeds, a thatched hut had collapsed half because of disrepair, the windows and doors were gone, and almost all the space inside could be seen at a glance. "Go to that yard and wait until it's dark."
"Sister, can you hide people in that room?" Although Tang Ruyan's rule was that if you don't understand, don't ask nonsense, she still didn't hold back.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place." Tang Ruyan muttered, walked quickly towards the courtyard, and entered the hut, there was a corner, just enough to cover the sight of the outside and looking inside, and as long as he probed a little, he could observe the outside.
After trying it a few times, Xiaohu looked at Tang Ruyan with admiration, "My sister is still amazing, she can know that there are still three of us hidden here, those stupid people will definitely not think of it." ”
Tang Ruyan smiled, the expression on his face was always very calm, and he couldn't see any waves. She thought again, where should she go next? She doesn't want to go back to the palace for the time being, and she doesn't particularly want to go to a place, so she has to go to one place.
Sharing the food from the lake, the three of them closed their eyes until the sun went down, and during this time they heard footsteps speeding by many times, but fortunately the other party did not pay attention to their hiding place, a dilapidated little hut that made everyone see everything in it at a glance.
Xiaohu touched Tang Ruyan's pulse from time to time, and his sigh became heavier and heavier, making Tang Ruyan's heart stunned, "Xiaohu, do you want to say that my life is short?" Tang Ruyan looked at Xiaohu and asked, although the letter clearly said that she should be kept as a chess piece, but if the other party found out that she was just a waste chess, it was very likely to change her mind.
Moreover, the first poison in the world, if there is a little deviation in the preparation process, her life is not easy to say.
"Don't always sigh, tell me how the situation is!" Guo Jing saw the gloom on Tang Ruyan's face and complained.
"Hey!" Xiaohu unconsciously sighed again, and after receiving the anger in Guo Jing's eyes, "It's a miracle to be alive." As soon as the words came out, he realized that he was speechless, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and looked at Tang Ruyan pitifully, "Sister, I didn't mean to." ”
She was telling the truth. Tang Ruyan thought helplessly in her heart, the owner of this body had already been tortured to death, she was just a wandering spirit, this body had been damaged, and it was not something she could control. "I naturally know my physical condition, Xiaohu doesn't need to mind."
Having said that, the corners of her mouth still unconsciously appeared with a miserable smile. She is like smoke, is she destined to be a person with a thin life? She remembered that she once said to the man: Turning her hands into clouds and covering her hands into rain, covering the world can't cover birth, old age, sickness and death, and people's hearts.
But can't she cover it too?
"Sister, don't be sad, I will find a way to extend your life first, and then study the antidote, one day I will find the antidote to reincarnation."
"Falsehood!" Guo Jing scoffed, he has been mixing in the rivers and lakes for a long time, who doesn't know that the poison of reincarnation is incurable? This little girl didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick and said that she wanted to study the antidote, and she was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. "If you can find the antidote, then the poison of reincarnation will not be an incondolent poison."
"You-" Xiaohu looked at Guo Jing angrily, "Hmph, sooner or later, one day, I will let you take this sentence back." ”
"We'll see." Guo Jingpi snorted without smiling, not taking this little girl's words seriously at all.
Although Tang Ruyan didn't believe that Xiaohu could find an antidote, she said that she could renew her life, although the credibility also needs to be investigated, but it is better than nothing, "Xiaohu, do you know what kind of reaction you have after being poisoned by reincarnation?" ”
Xiaohu tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "The poison of reincarnation is made of eighty-one violent poisons after seven seven and forty-nine days of refining, and the preparation process is completely determined by the person, and the antidote can only be prepared by the person who prepares it. ”
Seeing that the two of them did not react, Xiaohu continued: "And people who have taken reincarnation will have a stinging pain all over their bodies every full moon night, and even their bones will hurt, and that pain is like experiencing death, so it is named reincarnation."
