Chapter 17: The Game

The moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a good time to kill people and sell goods, Lin Wanwan is dressed in night clothes, sitting at the table with a pair of open and closed the black box, she looks at the round of fine carving on the box, the stars in her eyes seem to be shrouded in a layer of ethereal clouds, long and deep, making it difficult to understand her thoughts at the moment.

The task given to her by Ziyu that day was to let her assassinate a gentleman who robbed a people's daughter and then forced the woman to death.

Lin Wanwan naturally has no objection to this task, the evil people should be eliminated quickly, and she is also willing to do some modest help for the people of Nanling.

It's just that she didn't expect that in this troubled world where everyone is in danger, there are still people who are willing to pay a high price to seek justice for that civilian woman.

As a shrill voice sounded outside, Lin Wanwan closed the box with a "snap", a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he casually put on a mask, opened the door and walked out.

Drunken Immortal Residence, the most luxurious restaurant in Nanling City, is a place for high-ranking officials and nobles to drink and have fun.

The rooms were staggered, red faces swayed among the delicacies on the table, and from time to time someone made a high-pitched remark, causing a crowd to laugh.

At this time, in the backyard, a black shadow fell from the sky, her body fell like a light swallow dexterously, her starry eyes carefully scanned the circle, and then briskly hid in the flowers next to the thatched house.

The strong aroma of wine wafting from the Drunken Immortal Residence and the unpleasant smell overflowing from the thatched house next to it came one after another, making her frown uncomfortably.

Lin Wanwan stared at the few figures who entered and exited the thatched house, looking for the man in the portrait in the box.

Just when she was waiting a little impatiently, a man in a brocade robe staggered against the wall, his steps floating, revealing a sense of drunkenness, and a slightly round face flushed.

Her pupils lit up, and then she dodged and hid in the latrine.

It didn't take long for the man in the fancy suit to push open the door of the thatched hut and walk in.

The old wooden door of the thatched hut creaked and the door closed.

After a while, Lin Wanwan took the blood-stained dagger and wiped it on the man in Chinese clothes disgustedly, touched his pulse again, and only after confirming that he was dead did he take off his mask, tore off his night clothes, revealing his original clothes, and after a little tidying, he walked out of the toilet as if nothing happened, and walked directly out of the gate of the drunken immortal residence.

She looked up at the dark night sky, as if boundless thick ink was swaying heavily in the sky, not even sporadic glimmers, and the heaven and earth were full of depression and murder.

It seems that tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night.

A very shallow smile appeared on Lin Wanwan's lips, and he walked briskly into an alley, glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one, he jumped onto the roof and jumped out of the city.

……

After a stick of incense, Lin Wanwan stood in the woods outside the city with his hands in his hands, wearing a red dress and flying in the wind, like a red butterfly hovering in the night.

"Miss, do you really want to do this?"

Nuan Yan stood behind Lin Wanwan, with hesitation and a look of worry on her face.

Lin Wanwan silently looked at the layers of black clouds floating in the dark sky, carefully covering the mess in her heart, those churning emotions have been entangled in her heart, she closed her eyes, as if she had made up some kind of determination, and her words seemed to persuade Nuan Yan, and seemed to persuade herself.

"He's sick and it's a great opportunity for us."

Over the years, Nuan Yan has seen some of the depression that her own young lady is entangled in her heart, and she has always been worried that she came to Nanling for a momentary anger, so that she made some wrong decisions and finally regretted it.

She reminded softly: "But Miss, if you take this step, you will never be able to turn back, and you and Su Gongzi will never be able to go back to the past." ”

"I'm ...... with him"

Her red lips twitched a few times, her eyes were watery, she tried to tilt her head, stubbornly refusing to let the weakness in the corners of her eyes slip down, and those gloomy eyes revealed hatred and sadness that could not be concealed.

Since he threw her on the snowy mountain seven years ago and returned to Dongchen alone; From the one they had met in a hurry six years ago, after he had been coldly rejected before she could ask him why, they could never go back.

"I can't go back for a long time."

Her voice was as soft as a floating cloud that could not be touched in the sky, so far away and so soft, as if she was paying tribute to the time that was drowned in the years and could not be looked back.

Nuan Yan nodded solemnly, "It's good that Miss makes up her mind, if this time goes well, Su Gongzi will no longer be able to stay in Nanling." Nanling's game of chess, we can take over. ”

In the silent and gloomy woods, the wind blew coldly, and the rustling of leaves constantly stirred the anxiety in Lin Wanwan's heart, and her heart seemed to weigh on a boulder, making her feel heavy. She couldn't tell what the long-suppressed complex feelings in her heart were born of, but in the summer breeze of July, what she felt was as cold as winter, and her hands and feet became colder and colder, just like her heart at this time, which was experiencing a huge torment.

"Warm smoke, he's going to be fine, right? With his resourcefulness, after tonight, he will still be the king of Dongchen who is strategizing, right? ”

Nuan Yan lowered her head, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, although she couldn't bear it, but at this critical moment, she still had to remind her, "Nuan Yan doesn't know." It's just that if everything goes well tonight, Dongchen will inevitably be incompatible with Beiluo Shimen in the future, Miss and Su Gongzi ......"

Now, among the three ways of protecting Nanling, playing against Su Gongzi and taking refuge in Dongchen, Miss still chooses the most difficult one.

She paused and asked again, "Has Miss figured it out?" And how will the city lord explain it? ”

Lin Wanwan stared silently into the distance, the churning waves in her eyes slowly fell silent, the complex color in her eyes gradually transformed into a touch of exhaustion, and a trace of shallow helplessness after the dust settled.

"Yusu has already started it, the light has come out, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent."

She sighed softly, and the depression between her brows slowly dissipated in the evening breeze, "After tonight, all the spies in the pavilion will be dispatched to find the glowing grass at all costs, even if it is a little compensation from me." ”

Nuan Yan was about to say something, when a sound of squirming footsteps sounded in the forest, and she immediately raised her internal force and quietly disappeared into the darkness.

Lin Wanwan took a deep breath, put aside those chaotic thoughts, slowly turned around, and when she saw the person coming, a light smile appeared on her lips, "You're finally here." ”
