100. A real assassin

Before he died, Bai Pao also revealed that the Demon King had other plans, and he would definitely not let them escape so easily.

Their mission showed a total of three days, and now only one day has passed, which means that they will be forced to stay in the Zhou Demon Mountain Range for one or two days.

In the meantime, anything can happen. Looking at the time, before they return to Taiyuan Prefecture, at least a few things will happen that stop them.

So he thinks it's better to divide the loot first, so that there will be more security and hole cards later.

But Zhou Jinyan didn't know, and Wu Jinxing didn't know how to explain this matter to her.

I can't say I have a mission that says we're going to stay for three days or something, and she's going to think she's stupid or crazy all of a sudden.

Not to mention that I watched the stars at night and found that we still had a few calamities, and we couldn't escape, and we were destined to meet, so let's divide the spoils first, so we can have a little more protection.

So Wu Jinxing could only helplessly watch Zhou Jinyan collect all the things, and he didn't get anything for the time being.

But Wu Jinxing is more concerned about another thing now.

That's his other mission, an additional mission in the side quest - the Cauldron of Anti-Killing. This mission requires him to carry the pot of counter-assassination.

[Doesn't that count?] I obviously didn't kill Bai Pao, it was Zhou Jinyan who killed it, but Bai Pao already thought that everything was because of me, which is all in line with the mission conditions? But why didn't I complete the task? ]

[Or does he not qualify as an Assassin?] Then only the black robe is considered an assassin. But the black robe has already been killed by me, and I didn't meet the mission conditions, but why didn't I count me as a failure? ]

[What went wrong?] Could it be that there are assassins behind him, and there is still a chance to complete the mission, so I am not considered a failure? ]

Wu Jinxing was puzzled. But he also packed up his things in the time he thought about - in fact, there was only the old iron pot, and he was just about to leave here with Zhou Jinyan, when he heard a shout coming from the front.

The shouts were staccato and weak, and they were so indistinct that they could only feel the volume gradually increasing - the source of the sound was coming towards them.

Wu Jinxing and Zhou Jinyan immediately prepared to meet the enemy. Maybe it's because they've been chased and killed by those five people for too long, and the slightest movement will be loud.

The shouts increased little by little, and the content gradually became audible: "Miss...... Her Majesty the Princess...... Are you there...... Where are you ......"

"This voice," Zhou Jinyan couldn't help but be a little emotional, "Sounds like Sister Chen?" She's not dead yet? ”

"Sister Chen? Maybe it's her. But it could also be the trap of that Demon King," Wu Jinxing said vigilantly, "I'm deliberately luring you over." ”

I just said that there are other preparations, no, I will come to the door immediately, so if I think about it with my IQ, I can immediately tell that there is a problem here.

"Hmm." Zhou Jinyan bit her lip a little unwillingly.

"That's it," Wu Jinxing sighed when he saw her appearance, "I'll go with you, but be careful." ”

He could see that if he hadn't witnessed this voice coming from her "Sister Chen", she would probably never give up, and would definitely find an opportunity to verify it. So instead of letting her take risks alone, it is better to accompany her to avoid any accidents.

Anyway, if this is really Lord Demon King's other plan, it will happen sooner or later, so it's better to solve it as soon as possible, and the province will be remembered, and you have to be worried.

"Thank you." Zhou Jinyan said softly, and then hurriedly looked for it.

The voice is getting clearer and clearer, Zhou Jinyan's footsteps are getting faster and faster, and Wu Jinxing is almost a little unable to keep up.

Finally, after walking for a while, they saw a stumbling woman, it was Chen Rong. She was covered in blood, her clothes were torn or cut in many places, and one leg was badly fractured, and she had to use an umbrella to support the ground. Wu Jinxing also recognized her from her unique attire.

"Sister Chen!" Seeing her, Zhou Jinyan shouted excitedly.

was about to rush over, but was stopped by Wu Jinxing: "Don't be fooled by the superficial phenomenon of things, she is likely to be pretending and not real." ”

They had just experienced a battle, whether it was physical strength, aura, or spirit, they were not in the best state, and it was the best time to kill them.

And Chen Rong appeared at this time, which inevitably aroused Wu Jinxing's suspicion.

Hearing Zhou Jinyan's shout, Chen Rong turned to this side vigilantly. Seeing Zhou Jinyan, her face was overjoyed, and her voice trembled a little with excitement: "Miss? ”

But when she then noticed Wu Jinxing and the pot in his hand, her brows furrowed, and her tone was not so kind: "Who are you?" What are the intentions of approaching our young lady? Miss, come over here and be careful not to be deceived by him. ”

……

"Who is this man?" At the same time, the Demon King Wu Jitu also saw Wu Jinxing through Chen Rong's eyes. It's just that the ashes on Wu Jinxing's face still exist, covering his appearance.

If it was face-to-face, he could easily see through the face under the ashes of the pot, but now he saw the picture projected by several transits, spanning tens of thousands of miles, even if he was a demigod, he couldn't cast his eyes so far.

"We don't have the slightest bit of information about this person. It shouldn't be an important person, but I just happened to pass by and helped her. Otherwise, Zhou Jinyan alone would not be able to solve the five of us. Luo Jian Ye said.

"Hmm." Wu Jitu bowed his head slightly, and did not speak again.

……

"Don't go over," Wu Jinxing shook his head resolutely, "she can't be trusted." ”

Chen Rong said very anxiously: "Miss, did he tell you something?" Don't be fooled by his rhetoric, and don't believe the words of such unknown people. Come quickly to me, lest he be against you. ”

If this had been before, she might have gone to Chen Rong's side, but now is an extraordinary time, too many people want her to die, and almost no one can believe it. She wasn't sure if this Chen Rong was real or not.

Besides, Wu Jinxing had just risked his life to save her, he was his life-saving benefactor, and he had no reason to kill himself, so he could be trusted.

On one side is Wu Jinxing, who has just saved himself and has a friend of life and death, who can be trusted, and on the other hand, he may have brought himself from childhood to adulthood, and he is also a personal maid who can be trusted. She didn't know which side to listen to.

Seeing that Zhou Jinyan didn't move, Chen Rong angrily turned to Wu Jinxing and said, "Boy, listen, did you bewitch my young lady to make her so desperate." I'll tell you, clarify the facts for me immediately, otherwise no matter how big your background is, how big your background is, I can make you unable to eat and walk around. ”

"Bewitched?" Wu Jinxing sneered twice, "I risked my life to save her from the tiger's mouth, and she let down her guard against me." And you say I did it because of me? ”

"I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now to figure out the situation," Chen Rongleng paused for a moment, and then immediately changed his face, "I'm here to apologize to you." It's just that the situation is very urgent now, and I ask you to let her go. When I take her away from the mountains, I will be rewarded. ”

"Nope." Wu Jinxing replied forcefully.

"Why?"

"I don't know your identity, how can I trust her to a stranger. Unless she confirms your identity. ”

[Well, the other party has revealed his identity and reasons, so he can't do it directly or use other means, which will seem unreasonable, make Zhou Jinyan suspicious, vigilant, and affect me to start. You have to reassure her first. Chen Rong pondered.

"Miss," she looked at Zhou Jinyan again, took two steps forward and said, "Miss, don't you recognize me?" I'm Chen Rong, your personal maid. ”

"I ......" Zhou Jinyan hesitated.

"Miss, if you still don't believe me, you can ask me questions, I know everything." Chen Rong said.

"How did you survive?" Zhou Jinyan asked.

"I was farther and farther away from the white robe, when suddenly I heard two rumbling thunders. Then the white robe probably knew that you had caused the thunder twice, so he acted in a hurry, and immediately ran back after hitting my leg hard. ”

"I couldn't go far at the time, and I knew that they would definitely come back immediately, so I had to quickly find a place to hide and use pills to heal my wounds. Miss, you also know that I don't have a particularly good elixir, so I can't walk until the evening. ”

"And at night, there are ghosts wandering in the Zhou Demon Mountain Range, I hid and hid along the way, and looked for a night according to the little traces, and I found this after dawn, and I happened to meet you, Miss."

"Hmm." Zhou Jinyan nodded, this sound like there is no flaw in this statement, and there is no flaw at all.

But then she asked, "How did I get out of the palace?" ”

"You slipped out of the palace by dressing up as a maid." Chen Rong's answer was fluent.

"And what did I leave with me?"

"Because you're going to take me with you when you run away, a lot of things are prepared in double portions. Two silenced bells, two sets of black clothes, two bottles of Spiritual Qi Pills of the Yuan Shen Realm, and eight bottles of Spiritual Qi Pills of the Qi and Blood Realm......"

……

Zhou Jinyan asked a few more questions that only they knew about each other, and Chen Rong's answers were all correct. This has almost confirmed her identity.

"How?" Wu Jinxing asked in a low voice.

"Yes, she's right. If someone else pretended to be it, it would be impossible to know so much detail. Zhou Jinyan also replied in a low voice.

"Now you can confirm that my identity is real, right? Can you let go of Miss? Chen Rong took two more steps forward, and the distance between her and them was only ten steps.

"Well, she confirmed your identity," Wu Jinxing nodded, but pulled Zhou Jinyan behind him, "But I haven't confirmed it yet." ”

He has now actually confirmed that the other party is Chen Rong, but he has also confirmed that the other party has a problem, and there is a big problem!

All of her answers just now were recited backwards, with almost no pauses and thoughts, and although the journey she said before to find them didn't sound wrong, the tone and demeanor of her answer gave Wu Jinxing a feeling that she was reciting a book, and she might have memorized this set of words several times.

Based on the other plans of the Demon King, the time of Chen Rong's appearance, and some of her details, Wu Jinxing has already come to a conclusion:

This Chen Rong has rebelled and is here to kill Zhou Jinyan.

And she is still trying to get close to them quietly, which reminds Wu Jinxing of a passage mentioned in "The Self-cultivation of Assassins":

Assassins, either quietly or pretending to be the person who can best distract the target, approach the target and strike a fatal blow the moment the target relaxes.

Although Chen Rong is not pretending, what if she is directly an assassin?

Wu Jinxing didn't want this to be the case, but coupled with his mission, the Cauldron of Counter-Killing almost proved her identity - an assassin.

And it seems that her skills in assassins have reached the point of being superb, and the black robe is like a younger brother compared to her.

At the same time, this also allowed him to solve a previous doubt - Chen Rong was the real assassin referred to in the mission.
