Chapter 386: The Nightingale

Lin Qiu thought that he would have to fight for a vote and drag the receptionist away in public to get the news of the Silent Rose, but before the bloody scene he had conceived was staged, one of the assassins came to the door himself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And it's still friendly.

"You can call me a nightingale. The woman in black smiled shyly: "After all, in this feast full of lies, the name doesn't matter, does it?"

"Almost every Assassin I know has this nickname. "Lin Qiu made an invitation, this matter is really a bit strange, if he is a member of the Silent Rose, he will never ask for trouble in such a sensitive period. And he, apparently, is their biggest trouble.

He couldn't tell if the female assassin's shyness was disguised.

"Mind dancing with me?"

"It's okay, I'm not good at this. Lin Qiu politely refused.

Nightingale's answer came as a surprise to Nightingale, as her invitations were rarely declined, especially if she was an adolescent teenager with high hormones. Just as Lin Qiu tried his best to find out her purpose, Nightingale was also observing Lin Qiu's words and deeds: "If you were Coriya's subordinate, you wouldn't mention the president's name, so I guess you are not her agent, but you happen to have the same purpose as her." ”

Nightingale directly said her guess, and since the other party was a little passive, she adopted an attitude of retreating and advancing: "Since you are not here to dance with you, what is your purpose?"

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, her face almost on the verge of touching it. This is the most common affectionate gesture of Pink Jenny, and no one pays much attention to this ubiquitous pose. Lin Qiu didn't really want their conversation to be overheard by some nobles with ulterior motives, and the same was true for Nightingale.

"We still have a lot of time, and you can guess what would be the reason why someone who is like-minded with Corria will find you?"

"It seems that you are familiar with the court system. Nightingale's voice was striking, and as a beautiful female assassin, she knew as well as Coria what her most powerful weapon was—not a poisoned arrow, nor a superb archery, but sweet talk, gentle poison.

This weapon is invincible against most nobles.

"In a game of thrones, the first to reveal one's heart is the loser. She didn't answer Lin Qiu's question: "The people here are bright and beautiful on the outside, but rotten and depraved on the inside, we do know the darkest secrets of many people, but ...... What do you want to exchange for these secrets?"

After that, the nightingale gently licked Lin Qiu's earlobe with the tip of her tongue, this ambiguous action was enough to make any man's heart ape. And once the man is distracted and out of proportion, she can easily extract everything she wants from the other person's mouth.

"A bottle of wine?"

"Hmm...... That's not a lot of chips. ”

Nightingale smiled and refused: "This time, this place, reminds me that what you want to know is not an ordinary secret - a bottle of fine wine cannot be exchanged for such a secret." ”

"Maybe I'll have to listen to the secret before I can get the right price. I am an honest and trustworthy person, you can trust me. Lin Qiu responded.

In this way, the Assassins of the Silent Rose did not know much about them.

"Really?" the nightingale smiled and did not choose to believe it, nor did she say it outright. The ambiguity of giving hope but not fully following is the ambiguity between the two that is the most fascinating part of Game of Thrones. Obviously, this teenager doesn't look the same as someone his age.

But......

"I love challenging tasks. She digressed and said something unrelated: "If you have the same purpose as Coria, maybe you want to ask what you think of Empress Leah." ”

"For example, assassinating the Empress is a challenging task?" Lin Qiu also lowered his voice.

This is undoubtedly the most taboo topic in the Tarun Kingdom in recent times, no matter how talkative the nobles are, they dare not talk about it in public, those who have this purpose are afraid of exposing themselves, and those who do not have this purpose are afraid of getting caught on fire. None of the nobles who were talking and laughing in Pink Jenny guaranteed that the person they were talking and laughing with now would be the one who stabbed them when they turned around.

"Weird, right?"

Nightingale still didn't answer directly, she saw the doubts in his heart through Lin Qiu's low-pitched actions: "If you say a wrong word, you may be doomed, but there are still so many people who are addicted to it." ”

She was referring to all the nobles present.

"But that's the beauty of the game itself, and you're definitely in the pretty daring category. The nightingale's praise was palpable, and it was this kind of person who dared to talk about the assassination of the Empress on such occasions more than the timid nobles who hid it: "In response to your audacity, I have made an exception - yes, the assassination of the Empress is indeed very exciting, but it is a pity that no man as daring as you has entrusted us with a similar task." ”

"It's strange, I thought the news of the Empress's attack at the banquet would spread quickly. ”

Lin Qiu pretended to be embarrassed and sneered: "It should be that I was dazzled, the guards in the inner city all said that the attacker was dressed similarly to you." ”

Regarding Lin Qiu's vague accusation, Nightingale didn't even blink: "But they also said that not even a single fly would be released into the inner city, would they?"

It seems that the guards could not believe what they said. ”

"Not really, but thanks to the clues you provided, I may have guessed the 'secret' you want to know. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"We didn't have such a bold mission, but we did have a mission that required an inner city operation. The employer told us that from the beginning of the banquet to the end of the banquet, Coria's estate was in a state of absolute relaxation...... But in her manor, there is a key figure in the kingdom of Tarun - I thought, perhaps, this is the topic of your greatest interest. Nightingale's words came to an abrupt end, because she had already gotten the information she wanted to know most from the waves in Lin Qiu's eyes.

Even if it doesn't mean anything good.

Lin Qiu knew that it was useless to continue pretending, so he nodded directly and admitted simply: "Indeed, this is the topic I am most interested in, but I don't know if you are willing to discuss it with me?"

"So, what's your chip?"

"What if you're dealing with an employer who isn't as ordinary as you think?"

The nightingale lowered her eyes, and Lin Qiu did not miss this fleeting flaw: "Maybe this is also a topic that interests you." ”

"Hmm...... That's just the right amount of leverage, and it seems like we need to have a more in-depth discussion tonight?"

She blinked, as if asking Lin Qiu's opinion: "I prepared the room upstairs. ”

"Lead the way, Miss Nightingale. ”
