Miss Downfall and the Assassin (1)
"Miss, I advise you to get acquainted."
"You came to this rural village, although you claim to be recuperating, you and I know the real reason, and it is unknown whether you can go back in this life."
"So it's best to obediently listen to the old slave and do things, otherwise I don't guarantee that you will be short of catties and two pounds anywhere."
.....
It's autumn and early winter, and the leaves are gone. Under the clouds, the whole place is golden.
In the huge courtyard, only two people stood alone.
The girl with bright and moving eyebrows was wearing a slightly simple plain white brocade robe, and was looking around boredly at the moment, looking lazy and not taking the evil slave in her eyes at all.
Mama Zhang was scolding vigorously over there, and after seeing Qu Yan's attitude, she was immediately angry and even more angry.
Master Qu is the second lieutenant of the dynasty, and he is deeply used by His Majesty the Emperor.
Because the Qu family and His Royal Highness the Prince have long had a marriage contract, so the lord has been the core figure of the princeling party early on, and in recent years, the prince has won the heart of the emperor, and the status of the Qu family is also rising steadily, and the future is immeasurable.
All the house slaves who work in the Qu family are superior outside.
At her age, she could have been able to hold the silver in the Qu family while relying on the old and selling the old and not doing anything. But he was chosen by the old lady and sent to Banyue County, a place where birds don't, to 'recuperate' with the eldest lady of the Qu family who was expelled from Kyoto.
"Miss, are you listening well?"
"The old slave is teaching you the truth of how to behave in the world, but you are so unreasonable, I think you are an idiot's dream to go back to Kyoto in this life!"
......
Qu Yan's eyes were lazy and slightly slanted, and she said casually: "Are you done?" β
Call?
Why do you use 'call'?
Mama Zhang inexplicably remembered a word: 'dog barking'.
Being stunned by this sudden shock, Mama Zhang was suddenly furious: "Miss, I originally thought that you were very clear about your current situation, but now it seems that it is not, you still have the dream of marrying His Royal Highness the Prince!" I'm telling you, you're wishful thinking! β
Mama Zhang thought that if she said this, she would see the sad and tearful appearance of the eldest lady, but she didn't want her to just shake her sleeves, and then glanced at her with a pair of undisguised mocking eyes: "I think one thing you should know is that I'm not interested in dogs." β
What did she just say?
No interest in dogs???
Mama Zhang was so angry that her teeth itched, but before she could go back, the eldest lady had already gone back to her own room in a leisurely manner.
She could only be so angry that she scolded in the yard.
Qu Yan was barking like a dog, and what she was most concerned about now was whether the clothes brought by the original owner to the countryside looked good.
Just as she opened the cabinet door expectantly, she saw only plain white clothes in her eyes.
Qu Yan: ......
Oh my God-
This is simply desperate for a person who likes bells and whistles and prefers red.
If it was someone else, Qu Yan came to these small planes to do tasks, and the only fun left was to try various styles of beautiful dresses and different flavors of food.
But she didn't have the money to buy clothes.
Because although her status in this plane is noble, she is the eldest lady of Taiwei Qu's family, but since the death of the original owner's mother, she has completely fallen out of favor.
was suppressed by the new lady everywhere in Qufu, and it was extremely difficult.
But fortunately, she has had a marriage contract with the prince since she was a child, so she was not given up by her father, and she should learn the same piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when she grew up, and she is a talented girl who is famous in the capital.
She suffered hard, and after marrying the crown prince, she became her only hope.
But she didn't want her to have a scheming maid Handong, so she betrayed her to seek glory and helped the second lady Qu Yue frame her for having an affair with a foreign man.
Since then, he has been sent to the countryside by the old lady to recuperate.
And that marriage contract, Qu's father naturally did not give it up, but transferred it to Qu Yue.
At the beginning, the holy decree only said that it was the marriage contract between the prince and Miss Qu Jiayan, but it did not say which young lady of the Qu family, although Qu Yue said that she was the second oldest in the family, but her mother was the new lady of the Qu family, and she was also a daughter.
Qu Yue was still not at ease, worried that the original owner would make a comeback, so he bribed Mama Zhang to assassinate her.
She is very smart, has helped the prince solve a lot of problems, and also has a strong sense of acuity, insight into many of her opponent's plans in advance, and then avoid them one by one, catching her opponent off guard.
Then the two joined hands to reign over the world, one for the emperor and the other for the queen.
And the original owner who was poisoned by the evil slave, didn't know until she died that it was just a book, she was the heroine, and she could have been a virtuous and virtuous Empress Wenhui who would have been known for eternity, but was destroyed by a book wearer.
And this book wearer is naturally Qu Yue.
And the original owner's wish is-
hopes to get back everything she deserves and become the queen of Anguo's name through the ages.
Qu Yan squinted her eyes slightly and thought for a moment.
resolutely refused to compete with Qu Yue for the favor of the prince.
Qu Yue is familiar with the plot as a book wearer, so she is still a tasker, she can completely support the prince's sworn enemy six princes to ascend to the throne, and when the time comes, just want a queen to be the queen.
It's a good plan.

"Mama Zhang, don't come unharmed."
Late at night.
Mama Zhang looked left and right, and followed the instructions in the envelope to the forest outside Zhuangzi.
There was a girl who was already waiting for her eight-year-old girl, and she couldn't see her face clearly while wearing a hat, but according to her voice, Mama Zhang still recognized it at once.
It's the personal maid before the eldest lady - Han Dong.
Sure enoughβ
Han Dong lifted his hat slightly, revealing a beautiful little face, full of ridicule: "The matter explained by the second miss, there has been no news for so long, it seems that Mama Zhang, you are old, and your ability to do things has decreased a lot." β
"Miss Handong, it's not that the old slave doesn't want to do it, but I really haven't found the time to start, so didn't the escort team that escorted us to this Zhuangzi just left this morning."
Mama Zhang was full of sneers, but she actually scolded in her heart.
Phew!
You're a dog who sells for glory, and you're embarrassed to put up a shelf in front of the old body.
Over there, Han Dong gave a few more warnings, saying that if it was not successful tomorrow night, she would not do this mission.
Mama Zhang's heart trembled.
She has lived in this kind of backhouse yard for half her life, and she must be familiar with the deep meaning behind this sentence, if the task is unsuccessful, how could the second lady let her continue to live in this world, I am afraid that she will be eliminated together.
So she couldn't sleep all night, and the next day she couldn't give up.
That night, all the dishes were put in arsenic.
This big lady is on tonight....
Must die!
Mama Zhang's eyes were cloudy and hideous, but after she went out with the tray, she changed her arrogance from yesterday to courteous flattery: "Miss, let's eat." β
Qu Yan doesn't need to look at it, she knows what kind of medicine she has. She took the food with a flat face, and then pretended to put it in her mouth, and fed it to her mouth at a very fast speed when Mama Zhang was staring nervously.
Mama Zhang took a few steps back, and hurriedly spit out the food in her mouth, her eyebrows upside down: "You little!" β
Just when Mama Zhang wanted to force Qu Yan to eat the poisoned meal, unexpectedly, there was a sound of breaking the window, and more than a dozen black-clothed assassins appeared in the back room, each with ice in their eyes and a sharp sword in their hands.
They have a clear goal.
That is Qu Yan and Mama Zhang, none of them can be left.
Mama Zhang scolded in her heart.
That Han Dong is simply not human, she didn't want her to survive at all. Whether her mission succeeds or not, she will have to accompany that eldest lady to hell tonight!
Seeing that a sword was about to stab over, Qu Yan hurriedly picked up a chair to block back.
Then she used Mama Zhang as a cover all the way, smashed things and ran out of the house, accompanied by Mama Zhang's screams and blood, Qu Yan was calm.
In the original plot, the original owner died directly under Mama Zhang's arsenic, so she didn't know that there would be black-clothed assassins in the future, which was simply hateful!
She can't die.
If you die, the mission will be a failure.
She will be wiped out, and she will never want to return to her original world.
Looking at the dozen assassins chasing closely behind her, Qu Yan closed her eyes and ran all the way to the depths of the forest.....
**
Mountaintop.
There were hundreds of people inside and out, each armed with weapons, and those weapons were all sorts of different sects. But what is the same is that each of them has a nervous and excited expression.
And inside the encirclement, I saw a sword-wielding young man in a black suit and wearing a ghost mask standing there.
He was covered in blood by the moment.
It is completely impossible to distinguish whether it is his own or someone else's.
No one moved.
After a long time, a five-five-three-thick warrior said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, is the Seven Kills Gate known as the Shadow Sword? If not...", we'll go.
But the nameless knight's words were not finished at all, and his head and neck were separated.
For a whileβ
The tension was even greater.
Many were so frightened that they almost couldn't even hold their swords.
The Seven Kills Gate is the largest assassination organization in the rivers and lakes, and the Shadow Sword is the chief assassin of the Seven Kills Gate, and its martial arts are so varied that no one can see through it at all, and often the enemy's head must be taken within one move.
If it had been before, no one would have dared to provoke him.
But it's different now.
The whereabouts of this Shadow Sword were known to Bai Xiaosheng in the rivers and lakes for some reason, and then released at a high price, and for a while, all the unknown knights with the idea of 'killing the Shadow Sword and making a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes' flocked to it.
There are hundreds of them, and they are still worried about not killing a single person?
I don't know who finally mustered up the courage and shouted: "Don't you have relatives and friends who were killed by him?" Kill him! Avenge them! β
"That's right! Kill him! β
"There are so many of us today, if we don't teach him to make a mess and have no bones, how can we be a decent chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes!"
......
All were enthusiastic.
They all clenched their weapons and rushed over with a shout.
With a sonorous sound and a flash of blue light, the shadow sword in the black-clothed young man's hand was already half unsheathed, his swordsmanship was so clean and neat that no one could see it clearly, and the five or six people who rushed to the front had been killed by him with his sword.
As they fell, they rushed up one by one, teaching the top of the mountain to be swept into a sea of sword light and blood.
However, after a while, more than half of the decent knights who participated in the encirclement and suppression were killed and wounded, and just when everyone was slowly desperate and about to flee, I don't know who shouted:
"He has injuries on his body, and now he is at the end of his crossbow, and he can't last long!"
I saw the long sword in the assassin boy's hand swirling around and piercing the throat of the person who was speaking behind him.
But this shout really lifted everyone's hearts again, whether they can make a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes and be admired by thousands of people, but it all depends on who gets the head of the Shadow Sword tonight!
They pressed forward step by step, jumping off the top of the mountain with the Shadow Sword, chasing them all the way, no matter how many people died, their eyes were full of fame and fortune.
It's a rare opportunity.
Not only was the Shadow's whereabouts exposed, but he was also seriously injured.
Just kill him, just kill him ....
You can get everything you want!
