29. Black Rose, the outcast of the world
readx;“ Up to five thousand meters, adaptive ballistic crosshairs, specially machined sights. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Orianna lifted it up without difficulty, "Helnes is the legendary dragon of Avinia, and everything that stands in its way will be torn apart. ”
Chu Kunyang took the gorgeous firearm that looked brilliant, because the casting material was special, this thing was not very heavy. He tried to look out of the scope, and the trail of rapidly departing water was clearly visible.
Chu Kunyang suddenly put down the firearm in his hand, and rushed to the side of the ship with an arrow step, where was the shadow of the steel giant beast. From the moment Oriana stepped onto the ship, it was turning away, except that his attention was not on the Poseidon's strings at all.
It's too late to call it back, and it's useless to do anything now, Chu Kunyang frowned: "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing, just to see the war. The expression on Oriana's face was as indifferent as Chu Kunyang's, and she didn't pay attention to Chu Kunyang's ugly face at all.
"But war is not child's play, and I can hardly guarantee your safety. Chu Kunyang's face was a little gloomy.
"But I don't think safety is an issue. Orianna's face was still indifferent: "Besides, if you can't keep me safe, then neither can others." ”
"No matter how fierce a lion is, there will be times when it is negligent, it can catch large prey, and it may not be able to take good care of a young lion. Chu Kunyang came and said to Oriana.
"But I believe that a real lion can take care of its cubs while capturing its prey. Orianna glanced at her: "Besides, the lion cub is also a lion, and it has claws." ”
Chu Kunyang was short of words for a while.
Orianna leaned on the side of the ship and looked at the sea under the black canopy, no longer looking back at Chu Kunyang, she looked at the dim starlight and the faintly undulating black waves, silent, her eyes were full of confusion.
"What are you thinking?" Chu Kunyang walked up to her and stood side by side with her.
Oriana stretched out her hand and let the sea breeze slip between her fingers: "It's incomprehensible, I often wonder if we are the darlings of this world, or the outcasts of this world. ”
Chu Kunyang didn't want to discuss this issue with her, he turned around and was silent.
A slight metal scraping sound sounded from the side of the ship, Chu Kunyang turned his head vigilantly, Oriana slowly raised her lowered head, and a pair of delicate black short daggers against her jaw, like a poisonous snake's fangs locking the throat of her prey.
"Is it you?" Chu Kunyang's voice was low: "You should learn a lesson." ”
"Do lions snooze too?" smug was written on the bewitching face.
"What do you want to do?" Chu Kunyang looked at the woman who slowly appeared from the side of the ship: "Your injuries shouldn't be healed yet." ”
"That kind of trivial matter is not bothered by His Highness. The woman's face was still full of pride: "Now, what do you want to do?"
"Name your terms. Chu Kunyang's tiger mouth quietly pointed at the long sword at his waist.
"Please don't do that, Your Highness. The woman vigilantly noticed Chu Kunyang's small movements: "Then it is not safe for me or Princess Oriana, throw it away, a safe distance for everyone." ”
Oriana's face turned pale, she really didn't think that there was such an assassin hiding under her nose. The woman was right, when the lion also took a nap, she and Chu Kunyang were negligent.
Chu Kunyang untied the swords on his waist with a cold face, slowly bent down and put them on the ground, and kicked them away with a gentle kick. In this process, the woman forced the sharp blade in Oriana's throat to death, staring at Chu Kunyang's every movement, because if there is a little negligence to let him make a move, then you will not have a chance to see his movements clearly.
"Okay, now you can say your terms. Oriana said coldly to the woman in front of her. The blades clung to her white neck, sinking slightly into her skin, and she couldn't even breathe hard now, and the blades would cut through the skin with a single force. In such a situation, her voice was actually very calm, like a pair of dangerous blades on someone else's neck.
"Immediately drive your army out of this sea and stop supporting this war. The woman's voice was a little cold: "Otherwise, Princess Oriana, who is famous all over the world, will die here." ”
"You don't know what a stupid thing you did, right?" Chu Kunyang's voice was mocking: "Even if I agree to your conditions, can my brother agree to your conditions? If Oriana dies here, how can Yingzhou withstand the military pressure from Avinia? Do you know how many countries in the world need Hextech Bureau's technology? Your current behavior is turning your country into a public enemy of the world!"
Chu Kunyang's analysis was completely correct, the woman was stunned for a moment, and the blade in her hand trembled slightly because of the terrible consequences. 、
At this moment, Chu Kunyang suddenly disappeared from the spot, because the afterimage driven by the high-speed movement was almost just a slightly trembling air in the eyes of ordinary people, and there was no way to avoid it, and there was no way to avoid it!
"Oops. The woman subconsciously wanted to clasp the blade in her hand, but found that she didn't need any strength in her hand, Oriana stretched out her hand and clasped her wrist tightly, her shoulder blade was seriously injured, even a weak girl like Oriana could easily make her lose the opportunity, Oriana also correctly judged her state before she dared to gamble with her life, betting that her hand had no strength.
Chu Kunyang's figure froze suddenly, he stopped, and stood two meters away from the two people inside to watch, it seemed that he didn't want to make a move.
Oriana's hand was also loosened, and the woman was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to resist, when a shiny and small fire bolt slowly pressed against her mandible. Orianna is right, the most lion cub, of course she has her own minions.
The danger was lifted, and a group of guards surrounded him with guns, they knew how terrible this woman was, and this time everyone was focused, and when they wanted to escape again, there was no chance.
When they walked past Chu Kunyang, Chu Kunyang stretched out his hand to stop them: "Stand down." ”
The group of guards was stunned, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Your Highness......." ”
"Stand down. Chu Kunyang repeated expressionlessly.
"Yes. The group of guards obediently gathered their weapons and retreated respectfully.
The woman was stunned, Chu Kunyang's reaction now exceeded her expectations, when the people on the deck were evacuated. She asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. Chu Kunyang turned his head: "Your shoulder blades are going to be wasted, let Orianna help you bandage it, don't play tricks, it will put your country to death." ”
Orianna frowned, but put away the fire in her hand and touched the woman's shoulder blade.
The woman reflexively took a breath, and Orianna was also taken aback, the woman's shoulder blades were fixed with a thick splint, and the blood soaked through the light veil on the outside, and it was wet to the touch.
"The problem is serious, go to the room and bandage it. Orianna looked serious after a cursory examination, when the woman went limp, and passed out at her feet.
There was a burning pain in her shoulder, and the woman opened her eyes slowly, the smell of alcohol filled the room, and Orianna was stitching the wound in her shoulder with needle and thread and securing the splint on. Chu Kunyang turned his back to them and sat silently under the light.
"Awake?" Chu Kunyang didn't look back: "Your name." ”
The woman was silent for a moment: "Evelan." ”
"The origin of the black rose. ”
After a longer silence, Evelyn still spoke: "The black rose is the only kind of rose on the island of Yingzhou. The land here is so barren that even the roses are black as if cursed. Black roses in the wild are all over the mountains, and their thorns are very sharp, and they are not liked by people. ”
"Because the land is barren, labor is particularly important. Girls are weak in this regard, so people in Yingzhou don't like girls, and many families will abandon girls to black roses after giving birth. After we were abandoned, we were adopted and trained by the King of Yingzhou to carry out our mission as assassins. We are born as Black Roses, so we will leave a Black Rose behind after a successful assassination attempt to show that this is revenge from the outcasts of the world. ”
"The outcasts of the world. Chu Kunyang groaned.
"Who is your superior?" Chu Kunyang asked again.
"Yingzhou Wang Tokugawa Hongichi. ”
"What's your mission this time?"
"Hold you back at all costs, prevent you from participating in the war, and use military pressure to force the Northern Qi side to sign a treaty with us to obtain one-third of those ore complexes. ”
"You're already so badly injured, why do you have to come alone?" said Orianna suddenly.
"I have to get the job done, or not just me, but our country will be on the verge of destruction. Evelyn whispered, "What's the use of having a lot of people in front of the war machines of Great Xia? I just don't want them to die in vain." ”
"Do you have any special significance to King Yingzhou?" Chu Kunyang was stunned.
"No, we are just tools to carry out the mission, and if the mission is successful, we will be free at the age of twenty-two, and if the mission fails, we will receive severe punishment, sometimes even life-threatening. ”
"Would you be willing if I made you loyal to me?" Chu Kunyang stood up from his chair with his back to them: "In return, I promise you freedom and glory. ”
"What did you say?" Evelan's eyes widened in surprise: "If we are loyal to Great Xia, we will betray the country, besides, if you join Yingzhou in this war, we will lose completely, and our mission will fail, and we can't even save our lives, so how can we be loyal to Great Xia?"
"You don't understand what I mean. Chu Kunyang said coldly: "I let you be loyal to me personally, not to the country of Great Xia." Then as the first step of my promise, I will let King Yingzhou get what he wants in exchange for you. He pushed the door open.
Orianna had already finished the last stitches, she packed up the surgical instruments with a blank face, washed the blood stains on her hands in the copper basin on the side, turned around and pushed the door out, Chu Kunyang followed closely behind.
"Wait a minute!" Evelyn struggled to stop Chu Kunyang, who had already walked to the door. During the operation, Evelyn never groaned because of the pain of the needle and thread passing through the flesh and blood, and Chu Kunyang never looked back, maybe because Everan was a woman who was too rude to look at her bare shoulders, maybe he didn't want to look back, but at this moment Evelyn had a huge question in her heart: "Why do you want to help me?"
Chu Kunyang's figure stood still in front of the door, but he didn't speak, at this moment, his back looked desolate and lonely in the dim light, and he was still silent for a long time, as if he didn't want to say his reasons.
After an unknown amount of time he paced away, and a soft sigh accompanied by the cold wind of the night at sea blew through the door, and Evelyn was stunned.
"Because we are all outcasts of the world. ”
