It's dawning.

The first knock sounded at the door in the early morning.

Qing Ruoping woke up first, her expression seemed to be slightly dim, and she looked listless.

She didn't seem to have any intention of getting up, but just pushed Qin Nian'an beside her.

Qin Nianan stretched, then turned over and pressed onto Qing Ruoping's body.

No matter how hard Qing Ruoping tried, Qin Nianan could no longer move.

The knocking on the door was still non-stop, and it was really noisy.

Qin Nian'an was very irritable when he heard this, and reluctantly got up from the bed, ready to get up and open the door.

Qing Ruoping suddenly stretched out her hand to grab him, and Qin Nian'an turned her head, a little confused.

After thinking for a while, Qing Ruoping slowly spoke, "Be careful, if the night passes, maybe there will be an ambush outside." ”

Qin Nian'an smiled brightly and seemed to be unimpressed.

There was anger in Qing Ruoping's eyebrows, and she said with a serious expression: "Even if you think you can fight seven or eight pairs, there may be more than seven or eight pairs outside?" ”

Qin Nianan smiled dumbly, she just said casually, how could she remember so clearly, what other seven or eight pairs she played, even if there was a pair, it would be enough for him.

But his face was still calm, and he laughed: "Isn't this a young girl!" ”

Qing Ruoping frowned, how could he be so confident in himself, she was not sure at all.

Qin Nian'an moved Qing Ruoping's fingers away and said indifferently: "The young girl said yesterday that she would help me, so what else do I have to worry about?" ”

Qing Ruoping fell silent, and when she saw that Qin Nian'an had already gotten up, she hurriedly explained: "I thought you had already thrown them off, but I didn't expect them to come so quickly." ”

Qin Nian'an turned his head abruptly and said tentatively: "So ......"

"So I'm not ready for anything, and now it's up to you."

Qing Ruoping didn't leave Qin Nian'an with a trace of illusion, and broke the status quo with one word.

Qin Nianan didn't say a word, turned around directly, turned around and walked away.

Seeing Qin Nian'an walking in the opposite direction to the door, Qing Ruoping was a little puzzled, what was he going to do?

Looking along Qin Nian'an's direction, he happened to see the window without windows.

Qin Nianan stood by the window, looking left and right.

Qing Ruoping, who was still sitting on the bed, looked at this scene and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?" ”

Qin Nianan didn't look back, but replied seriously: "What else can you do?" Of course, get ready to slip away! ”

If you don't slip now, wouldn't you be stupid and wait for death?

Yesterday one had already choked him enough, if there were really seven or eight pairs outside, would he still have a way to live?

Qin Nian'an propped his hands on the window, and even at this critical moment, he didn't forget Qing Ruoping.

He looked back with a grin and asked, "Do you want to come along?" ”

Facing Qin Nian'an, who was about to jump out of the window and slip away, Qing Ruoping was speechless.

If he was really blocked at the door, how could he leave a window for him to escape?

This was obviously not a rational decision, but she felt that Qin Nian'an didn't look like she was joking.

"That...... Do you want to stop thinking about it? ”

Qing Ruoping naturally disagreed with his thoughts, so she had to persuade him implicitly.

Qin Nian'an seemed to be thoughtful, and said with a solemn expression: "That's right, their goal is me, and I can't take the young girl to slip away." ”

Qing Ruoping was dumbfounded, Qin Nian'an's answer didn't touch her question at all.

At the moment when Qing Ruoping was speechless for a while, Qin Nianan jumped suddenly, and it seemed that he was already in the process of jumping out of the window.

In an instant, Qing Ruoping exclaimed.

Qin Nian'an, who had originally jumped out, propped up the window and swung back, and said with a smile: "Was the young girl calling me just now?" ”

Qing Ruoping stared at Qin Nian'an, who came and went freely, and only then did she realize that she had been playing with him.

She couldn't help but snort coldly to express her dissatisfaction with Qin Nian'an.

Qin Nian'an smiled, not taking it to heart at all.

"Is the guest officer up?"

There was a greeting from outside the door, and the voice sounded like yesterday's shopkeeper.

Qin Nian'an thought about it, the inn was selected by them at random, and he felt that it probably couldn't be the back hand arranged by Qing Minghao.

He strode to the door, and when he opened the door, he saw the shopkeeper and the little second man standing outside the door.

With a calm expression, he asked unhurriedly: "The shopkeeper came early in the morning, I don't know what to do?" ”

The shopkeeper put on a standard smile and replied with a smile: "When I came back last night, I heard Xiao Tan tell me what happened before, but because it was too late, I didn't come to visit." No, I'll get up at dawn. ”

Qin Nian'an glanced at the little er, it should be the Xiao Tan in his mouth, Xiao Tan shrank his head stupidly, and seemed to be very uncomfortable with his gaze.

However, Qin Nian'an didn't care, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said tentatively: "So that window ......"

"The appearance of the assassin was originally due to the poor protection of the inn, and as for the windows or something, it is naturally impossible for the guest officer to compensate."

The shopkeeper took over the topic and gave a resolute answer.

Qin Nian'an was full of smiles, worthy of being the shopkeeper of an inn, and he was really a sensible person.

It's just that the shopkeeper who finished explaining the matter didn't leave for a long time, and just stood outside the door for a while.

Qin Nian'an's expression became solemn, and he realized that things didn't seem to be so simple.

He casually observed his surroundings, vaguely feeling a few unfamiliar breaths, and at the same time, he also had the feeling of being watched by many eyes at once.

The scene unconsciously tensed.

Qin Nian'an suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked in a flat tone, "Is there anything else in the shopkeeper?" Do you need to go into the house and talk about it? ”

The shopkeeper still smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal, I won't waste much time, so I won't go in." ”

Although the words were understated, the air around them gradually became heavy, and there seemed to be a murderous aura permeating them.

"I heard that the assassin who came to assassinate yesterday came with a dagger, and since the guest officer has already dealt with the assassin, then presumably the dagger has also fallen into your hands."

The shopkeeper's voice was calm and unmoving, as if he was just asking about something that was very commonplace.

Qin Nian'an thought for a moment, and felt that the shopkeeper in front of him didn't seem to be in the same group as Qing Minghao, and his intention was already very clear, that is, he came for the twilight frost.

It's just that I never expected his news to be so fast, and it only took one night to find out the details of the matter.

In this way, the twilight frost really has a great future.

Qin Nian'an quietly probed the surrounding situation, and responded calmly: "It seems that there is such a dagger, but it is just a dagger, why did the shopkeeper suddenly mention it, is there anything special about that dagger?" ”

There was a wave in the shopkeeper's eyes, but it was only a moment before disappearing without a trace.

He kept smiling and said softly, "If you have carefully observed that dagger, you must have found the name engraved on the hilt, if the villain expected it to be good, it should be Twilight, right?" ”

Qin Nian'an bowed slightly, this shopkeeper was obviously prepared, and he was not too surprised that he could say twilight.

The shopkeeper's eyes were burning, his emotions fluctuated too much, and he was obviously a little excited.

Waiting until his mood calmed down a little, he continued: "Twilight Frost is the number one dagger that is a household name in Qinglian City, although it is only the first dagger in Qinglian City, its fame is far more than that. Twilight Frost is not only ranked first in Qinglian City, even compared to those divine weapons outside, it is not half a point weaker. ”

Qin Nian'an was a little suspicious, even though he sensed that Twilight Frost had a great background, he never thought that a small Twilight Frost could have such a big weight.

After a slight hesitation, he asked, "I heard that there used to be a handful of Qingping in Qinglian City, I don't know how Twilight Frost compares to it?" ”

The shopkeeper's eyes were dull, he hurriedly shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Qingping is the sword of Qinglian Tianzun, what a famous sword it is!" There is almost no sword in the entire Weiyang Continent that can stand out, and no matter how famous Twilight Frost is, it is impossible to compare with Qingping. ”

Qin Nian'an stroked his chin lightly and nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

"What the hell is Twilight, and why is it so famous?"

Qin Nianan couldn't help but ask about the confusion in his heart, he was looking forward to the answer that the shopkeeper could bring him.

The shopkeeper smiled, but he didn't mean to sell it.

His eyes are deep, as if he is quietly recalling some past events.

With a serious face, he slowly spoke: "It is said that a hundred years ago, there was a famous killer in the rivers and lakes, he was like a ghost in the dark, his whereabouts were secretive, and he came and went without a trace. ”

"Hardly anyone has ever seen his true face, no one has been able to say his true name, and he really seems to be a ghost who has escaped from the world."

"Because of the blood everywhere he went, the rivers and lakes at that time gave him a well-deserved title, calling it 'Blood Shadow'."

"The Blood Shadow acts ruthlessly and without any mercy, and he has only one goal, and that is to complete the mission. He doesn't care about fame, status, or personal grievances, no matter whether the other party is a hero or a dignitary, as long as the remuneration is sufficient, he will not hesitate to take his life and complete the assigned task. ”

"Although the blood goes with the blood shadow, the assassination of the blood shadow is never superfluous blood, all of them are killed in one hit, like a blood-colored rose blooming in the night, amazing but short-lived. And the figure of the blood shadow will also disappear into the night like a phantom after the assassination. ”

"This killer who is famous for his killings, all the information is unknown to anyone, and the only thing that has reached the ears of the people in the world is a dagger."

Qin Nian'an couldn't help but be amazed, and said tentatively: "So the name of that dagger is Twilight?" ”

The shopkeeper laughed and nodded, "Exactly." ”

After a moment of silence, the shopkeeper continued: "Twilight followed the Blood Shadow to drink blood, almost killing people invisibly, and as the Blood Shadow became more and more famous in the rivers and lakes, Twilight's status naturally rose. ”

"Twilight, like the Blood Shadow, has been feared by the world for hundreds of years."
