Chapter Eighty-Six: Dirty Water
"Lord Shen, I don't understand what you mean." Shi Laosan only almost touched the back of his head, "Didn't you arrange for your subordinates and that Zhuge County Cheng to escort them back, and they promised to atone for their crimes, and Lord Shen also promised me to give them a chance to live." β
"I was negligent." As soon as Shen Nian finished saying this, his thin lips pursed, and he refused to confide in another word.
Shi Laosan didn't recall his words, but Sun Shining, who was hiding in the rockery, became more and more frightened the more he listened, could it be that not only did they encounter an ambush here, but even Qiu Cheng and Zhuge Qing also encountered the same opponent, and there was still Shen Nianyi to resist here, Qiu Cheng would not have an accident!
After Shen Nian tried it once, the Hidden Blade was withdrawn, and it was not in vain, the corners of his mouth actually rolled up a very faint smile, he was just curious, even if he could kill them here by ambushing them, would the imperial court stop pursuing them because of this, no matter how powerful the hostile forces were, they were just hiding in the shadows, taking the opportunity to act, and killing a former imperial historian, it seemed that although there were dozens of lives, compared with the formation of guarding the border pass, it was indeed not a big deal.
"Shining, is Wu'er awake?" He asked.
Fang Cai was a little confused, coaxed a few times and fell asleep again. Sun Shining didn't expect that at this time, he could still ask in a tone as light as the wind, did he really not know how to write the word fear?
"Wait." This sentence was said with Qi He again.
Qi He was stunned, after all, he was also a veteran, and immediately understood what he meant: "People outside can't stay long." β
Shen Nian nodded, this is not another place, it is the place where the crime has alarmed the emperor, and he doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it, he doesn't believe that it can be consumed like this for an hour, an hour.
"It's quiet." Shi Laosan listened to their questions and answers, and the hand holding the long knife didn't tremble, in his eyes, Lord Shen was a god-like figure, if it weren't for a few of them, he would have already killed the generals, and now it was just his strategy to delay the army, under his hands, he would definitely be able to block the water and cover the earth.
"yes, it's quiet." Shen Nianyi followed his words, there were at least forty or fifty people outside, and they were actually able to be so quiet, and they were really well-trained, a few points more powerful than the team under General Ning's command, which was enough to be impressive, and the opponent was probably more powerful than he expected.
"Shen Shaoqing." Someone actually stood up.
If you can stand from Shen Nianyi's point of view, the sole of this person's shoe is properly stepped on the tail feather of the long arrow, but he will not step on the arrow, let alone fall, and silently show his hand first.
Shen Nian smiled, he was wrong, the other party was not completely in the dark, he actually dared to go to a brightly lit place, and to negotiate with him face-to-face, this case seemed to be getting more and more interesting.
"People all over the world say that Shen Shaoqing of Dali Temple is famous when he is young, and he is amazingly talented, but he has also encountered a strong enemy, but he is just a timid person who nests behind the rockery and does not dare to come out to fight?" There was a sarcastic smile evident in the man's words.
It's a pity that the method of agitation has no effect on Shen Nianyi, he is still standing behind the rockery in a good manner, and not even the corners of a piece of clothing are exposed.
"Shen Shaoqing's welcome like this, wouldn't it disappoint the people of the world, I'm afraid it's not good." The man would never give up, and continued to talk endlessly.
"People in the world are not all talkatives, if they all talk to Your Excellency like this, then the world can only hear everyone's noise from morning to night, and other things are really unintentional." Sun Shining could see Shen Nianyi but couldn't see the person's appearance, but she knew that Shen Nianyi would not open his mouth to defend himself, and she couldn't allow others to slander him in front of her.
Shen Nianyi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Sun Shining to speak, such sharp teeth, as if he was still in the Sun Mansion that was bothering her, arguing with the Xue family, not only did he not feel abrupt, but he laughed, blocked by the rockery, his smile was also only visible to her, he just wanted to laugh at her.
Sun Shining's words sounded literal, but the weight was really not light, someone wanted to splash dirty water, so she pinched the person's nose and poured the dirty water back into the person as it was, regardless of whether the person would have a rotten stomach.
The man was obviously frozen, and if he couldn't see it, he could guess that the expression on the other party's face at this moment must be very exciting, like breaking the seasoning vat, there was everything, but obviously, this person was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he quickly reacted again, coughed lightly and said: "Shen Shaoqing, I came here with empty hands and no weapons, but I just want to negotiate with you about a deal that is beneficial to you and me." β
"Get out." Shen Nian was concise and to the point, and only gave one word.
Sun Shining almost covered his mouth and smiled, sure enough, it was his trick that worked the most against people with cheap mouths.
"Shen Nianyi, there are our ambushes outside, don't toast or eat and drink, don't think that you can escape if you are good at martial arts." The man was really angry, "You either hand over that child, otherwise, one, two, three, four, none of the four of you will want to get out alive." β
Shen Nian moved in an instant, his movements were so fast that he didn't even see Sun Shining, who was closest to him, clearly before he saw that Bai Lian flew out from under his sleeve again, as if he had his own eyes, turned around in mid-air, and tightly clasped the other party's neck.
The man showed a good hand, but he didn't want to be caught by Shen Nianyi in embarrassment, and the white practice was biting hard, so he wanted to struggle, and found that the blade was extremely sharp and cold, and Shen Nianyi didn't know when he was already close to him, and a pair of eyes were colder than this blade, and he was looking at him intently.
"Shen Shaoqing, please put down your weapon." The man was not afraid of death, and said in a low voice, "I'm just here to negotiate, those people outside have another commander, it doesn't matter if you kill me, do you really have the patience to look at your subordinates, and the beauty you want to take with you when you handle the case, die together?" β
"Where's the guy at the door?" Shen Nianyi asked in a cold voice.
"Not dead, I can swear, he's still alive."
"You said you came to negotiate with me, so in what capacity did you come?"
The man tried to break free of the Hidden Blade, Shen Nianyi's fingers moved slightly, the blade ate into the skin, and a long string of blood beads came out, the man's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to move anymore, his eyes slowly slid down, and he saw that the other end of the Hidden Blade was tied with a chain as thin as a hair, and Shen Nianyi's fingers were enough to control it, he regretted it, he knew Shen Nianyi's weapon in advance, but he would be negligent, and he didn't make a move at all, and he was completely defeated.
"I know you can't say it, so I won't ask a second time." Shen Nianyi looked at this person seriously, he was only twenty-four or five years old, and he was fair-skinned and handsome, but he looked a little frivolous at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, he was injured at this time, his facial features were distorted, and he didn't have the deliberate grace that he had when he appeared, he just felt like a funny clown jumping off the beam, "I don't want to hear any conditions you say, I am the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, how can I allow a villain like you to point fingers." β
As Shen Nian spoke, his other hand also moved, and Sun Shining heard a very soft sound, a bit similar to the kind of movement that Qi He made when he opened the black umbrella mechanism, and then the sound of more than a dozen heavy objects falling to the ground followed.
Sun Shining couldn't wait to climb out of the rockery to see what Shen Nianyi had done!
She couldn't see it clearly, but Qi He saw it very clearly, Shen Nian and his side quickly exchanged the things in his hand, he had already taken down the hidden weapon box in the umbrella and handed it over, but he didn't know how so many people hiding in the shadows could deal with it with these hidden weapons alone, but he never thought that when Shen Nian raised his hand and waved his fingers, all the hidden weapons in the box flew out.
Different from using the mechanism in the umbrella as gravity, after Shen Nianyi's strength, the hidden weapon is still like a puff of smoke, but the target is not just single, shooting to different positions or so, the steel needles as thin as cow's hair have become strong and powerful, directly seeing the flesh into the blood, hurting its vital point, and the dozen or so dull sounds are made by the archers hidden in the dark falling to the ground.
There was only the sound of landing, no moaning.
With one move, it is enough to scare the opponent's guts.
"Do you really think those people outside the door can trap me?" Shen Nianyi said slowly.
The man was speechless, not only could he not speak, but he also seemed to be about to cry, he often said that a mountain is still a mountain high, he always heard someone around him mention Shen Nianyi's name, I don't know how many times he secretly fought with him in his heart, so he thought that as soon as he was bright, he could use this unique light skill to deter the other party, so that he could obediently tie his hands and arrest him, but he didn't expect that in his eyes, he was just a mouse being played under the cat's paws, and Shen Nianyi could kill him at any time.
"So, then why are you hiding behind a rockery?" He was really unwilling, he asked hatefully.
Shen Nian smiled, the ambush outside was very cleverly done, grabbed Huo Yongyang, who was guarding the door, and aimed at them with poisonous bows and arrows from dozens of angles, in fact, if it was really like arrows raining down, what a tragic consequence would happen if no one could protect it, however, the other party did not do it.
He would never be naΓ―ve enough to think that it was the other party's kindness, presumably those archers were waiting for the order, waiting for the order of a more powerful person, very good, very good, then let him be a turtle with a shrunken head for the time being, let the other party be proud, let the other party take it lightly, let the other party poke his head out and let him slaughter.
His prediction was not wrong, when this person put on the face of a victor and spoke, Shen Nianyi secretly laughed, and it couldn't be easier to win back a city, he took two more steps forward, the heavenly silk tightened, and blood beads fell: "Return my subordinates, we don't talk about conditions, you all have to listen to me." β
