216 The King of the Dead 16

These two questions, one is more difficult than the other, and they simply cannot be answered by Nanliujing at this stage.

In this regard, he can only continue to study.

In the blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching.

The weather is getting colder and colder, the road surface is icy, and the carriage is inconvenient to walk, Qu Jianbai decided to suspend his outing activities, and after a while, the ice and snow melted, and then take Nanliujing out.

However, Qu Jianbai did not stop Nan Liujing from going out, but only told him to disguise himself and bring all the guards.

On this day, Nan Liujing was dressed in a dark robe, covered with a gray fox, dressed as an ordinary gentleman, followed by four guards with strong martial arts.

He went directly to Suzaku Street, walked into the restaurant closest to the alley, picked a window position on the second floor, and looked at the crowd coming and going while eating.

This is Nan Liujing's new habit, and he can learn the information he wants to know by looking at these people.

As soon as he lowered his head and took a bite of the pastry, a panicked scream suddenly erupted from under the street. The originally noisy and crowded crowd ran frantically to both sides of the road.

The vacant space was already enough for two carriages to pass.

But there were still arrogant attendants who kept driving away the people and did not allow them to stay on the road.

Nan Liujing twisted his eyebrows, and heard the guest at the table next to him say:

"What kind of person is this, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he dares to be so arrogant."

"Shhhh Didn't you see the pure gold lantern hanging in front of the carriage, this is the frame of Mrs. Ji and his old man's house. ”

"It turned out to be Mrs. Ji. The Son of Heaven travels, it's just this kind of pomp......"

The latter sentence was pressed very lightly.

If it weren't for Nan Liujing's smart ears and eyes after practicing martial arts, it would be difficult to hear clearly.

Ji Yushan...... Nan Liujing silently read the name in his heart, his eyes fixed on the carriage.

Below I don't know what was happening, and the moving carriage stopped.

The man in the carriage lifted the curtain.

Taking advantage of that small gap, Nanliujing finally saw Ji Yushan's appearance clearly.

is different from Ji Yushan's reputation on the rotten street, he has the appearance of a typical literati.

Xu is just from the government, he is wearing a purple official robe, his sideburns are slightly white, his appearance is clear, his bearing is elegant, and his eyes are very pure and peaceful.

Nan Liujing whispered to Yao Rong: "Didn't they all say that they were born from the heart, why did Yushan look like a dog this season?" ”

Yao Rong laughed: [If you can see at a glance that he is a bad person, then how can he be in a high position for decades?] ]

Nanliu nodded: "That's right, bad people don't write their badness on their faces." ”

Just between Nan Liujing and Yao Rong's conversation-

An arrow flew out of the crowd like a meteor, carrying a fierce wind and an astonishing killing intent, and struck Ji Yushan's front door.

Ji Yushan didn't dodge or dodge, and he didn't even blink his eyes much.

When the long arrow was still an inch away from Ji Yushan, a guard shot down the arrow with a sword.

The second arrow also came very quickly.

Almost the next moment the first arrow was shot down, it appeared in everyone's field of vision.

However, no matter how fast it is, it seems a bit rushed.

Even if Ji Yushan's guards hadn't made a move yet, Nan Liujing had already judged in his heart that the second arrow would not hit. Instead of paying attention to the situation on the road, he looked left and right, looking for someone who was secretly shooting arrows.

Yao Rong reminded: [To the southeast, on the second floor of the tailor's shop twenty meters away from you. ]

Nanliujing looked up sharply.

Sure enough, I saw that in the slightly propped up wooden window on the second floor, there was a sharp cold light refracted by the sun.

It's just that while Nan Liujing locked the other party's position, Ji Yushan's guards also locked the other party's position.

The thick wool felt curtains fell, and Ji Yushan's calm voice came out of the carriage: "Don't let him run." ”

Half of the guards continued to surround the carriage to protect Ji Yushan, and the other half of the guards quietly rushed towards the tailor's shop.

The Assassin sensed that something was wrong, and gave up the assassination, turning and fleeing.

But Kyoto was Ji Yushan's territory, and the assassins ran for a long time, but they couldn't shake off the people behind them, and even got slashed in the left shoulder in the process of escaping.

The assassin gritted his teeth, having already decided to refract back and fight for his life-

Four masked strong men suddenly rushed out of the shadows, and without saying a word, they rushed towards Ji Yushan's people.

The Assassin did not know who had sent the four strong men, but that did not prevent him from seizing the opportunity to escape.

It was determined that the assassin had escaped pursuit, and the four strong men did not have any love of fighting, and quickly threw off Ji Yushan's people and left the battlefield.

"Head, what are we going to do. Whether to chase the four masked men, or to continue to chase the assassins. ”

"Split up and chase after it. Our men have sealed the gates, my sword has been poisoned, and the Assassin has been wounded in the shoulder, and he will not be able to escape from Kyoto. ”

The Assassin ran for a long time, until he reached a dead end, then slowed down, leaning his shoulders against the wall and panting.

He looked down at the wound.

The flesh on both sides of the wound had turned dark purple, apparently poisoned.

"Come out." The assassin said in a hoarse voice.

The sound of light footsteps sounded at the mouth of the alley.

Nanliujing slowly walked into the alley against the light, stopping at a distance from the Assassin.

- This is a distance that can prevent people from attacking and sneaking up.

"You saved me." The Assassin affirmed.

Under Yao Rong's teaching, Nan Liujing does not have the habit of being a good person without leaving a name: "It's me." ”

"Why did you save me?"

"If you can save it, you can save it."

That's a good reason...... Inexplicably convincing.

The Assassin tugged at the corners of his lips.

Nan Liujing reminded: "If you don't treat the wound again, your shoulder may be scrapped." ”

The assassin frowned.

Nan Liujing continued to analyze: "All the medical centers in the capital should be targeted. If you go to see a doctor, you will definitely be caught at the first opportunity. ”

The Assassin asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"I wasted so much effort to save you, if you were poisoned to death or fell into the hands of Ji Yushan again, wouldn't my efforts be in vain? Come with me. Nanliujing turned around.

The Assassin hesitated, but staggered after him.

During this time, in addition to attending classes and studying, Nanliujing was not idle. He exchanged his points for a sum of money with Yao Rong, and then handed over the gold to Gui Sheng, so that Gui Sheng could quietly buy a house.

Nanliujing took the Assassin to one of them.

The house is elegantly furnished, with all the utensils inside, as well as enough gauze and hemostatic medicine.

But it is easy to stop bleeding, but poison is not so easy to solve.

As the Assassin looked at the wound and had a headache, Nan Liujing took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and pushed it in front of the Assassin.

"This is an antidote pill, and it can cure all kinds of poisons if you take it."

The assassin was stunned, pulled out the cap of the porcelain bottle, and stared at the small black pill inside: "Really? ”

Nanliu nodded: "Really." ”

This is the reward he gets for completing the mission.

Because he had hoarded one, he was willing to take one out and give it to the Assassins.

The Assassin wasn't convinced, he was just surprised.

The antidote pill that can cure all kinds of poisons must be very valuable......

Even if the identity of the teenager is not ordinary, it is absolutely impossible to take one out casually.

"This antidote pill should be hard to find, are you sure you want to use it on me?"

Nan Liujing couldn't help but glance at the other party.

Although he is an assassin who performs assassination methods, his character is rare.

At this juncture, what he is worried about is not how effective the antidote pill is, but whether he will suffer.

"I'm willing to take it out, which is enough to explain my attitude."

"Then I won't grind." The assassin raised his hand and tore off the black cloth covering his face, revealing a dark but handsome young face, and tilted his head to take the antidote pill, "My name is Qi Mingxu, a person from Jinling. I owe you two lives, little brother. ”

Nan Liujing subconsciously wanted to say the pseudonym "Yao Nan", but when the words came to his mouth, his heart suddenly moved, and he didn't know why, but he actually had the urge to report his real name.

Aside from Gui Sheng and his teacher, it was the first time that anyone knew his name.

"My name is Minami Ryukei, a native of Kyoto. Brother Qi, fortunately. ”

"Surname Nan?" Qi Mingxu glanced at his clothes, "Are you a disciple of the clan?" ”

"Sort of."

Qi Mingxu took him as a default.

Nan Liujing changed the topic: "Your injury is not healed yet, if it is not early today, you should sleep well first and recuperate." It's probably going to be so noisy in the middle of the night that you can't sleep. ”

Qi Mingxu nodded subconsciously, and when he lay on the bed according to Nan Liujing's words, he secretly said in his heart: This young man looks young, but he is really magnificent, and his words and deeds are quite orderly, which makes people unconsciously follow his words and do things.

[Wait......]

In the endless space, the system was sluggish for a long time, and shouted: [Qi Mingxu...... Which Qi, which Ming, which Xu? It's the same name and surname, it must be the same name and surname! 】

Yao Rong looked at Qi Mingxu quietly: [It shouldn't be, his archery skills are rare in the world, and his age is right.] ]

The system still looks suspicious of Tongsheng, and Yao Rongsheng is afraid that its CPU will be overloaded: [Really...... Is he really the rumored leader of the rebels? 】

The plot that Yao Rong received mainly revolved around Nanliujing, so she didn't know that Qi Mingxu had assassinated Ji Yushan: [You check that history book, there should be a record of Qi Mingxu on it.] ]

Although the history book has been reduced to ashes, the original text should still be available in the system's database. The system quickly extracts keywords: [Found it!] 】

[In the original historical line, Qi Mingxu also assassinated Ji Yushan, and after the assassination failed, he was imprisoned and tortured, and he almost died tragically inside. 】

[Later, he escaped by chance, and he grew his strength little by little, and finally pulled up an army of more than 100,000 people, becoming the largest rebel army at the end of Daye......]

And now, Qi Mingxu was not caught after the assassination failed, but was saved by Nan Liujing, and said that he owed Nan Liujing two lives?

Yao Rong touched his chin: [The employment scope of this rebel leader is quite extensive]

The system complained: [I can't understand this plot development......]

Yao Rong did not respond to the system again.

She decided to take a good look at Qi Mingxu.

-- Observe this young man who will come to Kyoto in the future and change the dynasty.

The body that had lost too much blood couldn't hold up the sleepiness, and not long after taking the antidote pill, Qi Mingxu leaned on the head of the bed and fell asleep.

It wasn't until scattered footsteps outside the house and disturbing knocks on the door that he woke up suddenly.

"Open the door, open the door."

"The Imperial City Division handled the case and was ordered to search for the traitors."

The sound pierced the night and reached Qi Mingxu's ears.

He rolled over and stood up, quietly approaching the door, ready to break through at any time if the officers and soldiers broke in.

But I didn't know what was going on outside the house, and the people of the Imperial City Division began to make indemnities one after another, and then they all withdrew.

Then there was a knock on the door.

Qi Mingxu did not let his guard down: "Is it the little brother of Nanliujing?" ”

"It's me."

Qi Mingxu hurriedly went to light the candles and open the door.

Nan Liujing smiled at the corner of his lips: "The people of the Imperial City Division will not come again, and then Brother Qi can rest in peace." ”

Qi Mingxu felt more and more that Nanliujing's identity was not simple: "Little brother Nanliujing, can I go out of the city tomorrow?" ”

"You're out of town?" Nan Liujing looked at Qi Mingxu's injury, "There must be heavy guards at the gate of the city to check the people who enter and exit." It's hard to hide your injuries, and in this case, it's not easy to get out of the city. ”

Catching a glimpse of the urgency on Qi Mingxu's face, Nan Liujing said thoughtfully: "Is there any urgency that you must go out of the city?" ”

Qi Mingxu pursed the corners of his bloodless lips: "Don't hide it from my little brother, I didn't act alone in this assassination. I made an appointment with a few of my companions to go out of the city and join them as soon as the assassination was over. Now that they can't be reached, I'm definitely anxious. ”

"Do you have any special contact with them?"

Nan Liujing made an offer that Qi Mingxu couldn't refuse.

"You can write a letter to inform them of your situation, and I will send someone to help you deliver it to them. You can rest assured that you will be here for a few days, and it will not be too late to leave the city when the wind in the capital is not so tight. ”

Qi Mingxu thought about it, and there was indeed no better way than this: "I'm going to trouble the little brother Nanliujing again." ”

Because of the injury on his left shoulder, Qi Mingxu didn't write anything too complicated, so he picked up a pen and wrote the word "An", then ripped off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Nan Liujing along with the letter paper.

"There is a big banyan tree in front of the Chenghuang Temple on the outskirts of Beijing, and one of the trunks of the big banyan tree has been hollowed out, and the little brother of Nanliujing only needs to put these two things in it."

Nan Liujing took it: "Brother Qi, continue to rest, I will send someone to deliver something early tomorrow morning." ”

In the endless space, the system looked at Nan Liujing's enthusiastic appearance, and asked Yao Rong urgently: [Do you want to remind Nan Liujing and let him be more careful with Qi Mingxu. 】

Yao Rong asked: [From the beginning of his contact with Qi Mingxu, do you think there is anything wrong with him?] ]

The system was stunned when asked: [No. 】

[yes, no.] Yao Rong looked at the water mirror, and a look of relief and tenderness flashed in his eyes, [What I taught him, he mastered very well. ]

[Why do you think he saved Qi Mingxu from Ji Yushan, and was so enthusiastic to send antidote to Qi Mingxu and help Qi Mingxu deliver letters?] ]

[You mean, he did it on purpose?] 】

[Qi Mingxu's two arrows are so wonderful, and his archery skills are already unique in the world at a young age. Moreover, Qi Mingxu dared to assassinate Ji Yushan on the street, which shows that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between Qi Mingxu and Ji Yushan. ]

[The enemy of my enemy is my friend.] ]

Yao Rong said with a smile: [He saw at a glance that Qi Mingxu was extraordinary, and everything he did next was to give Qi Mingxu a favor.] ]

The system was dumbfounded.

If it had a jaw, it would have been able to drop its jaw now.

[Host, did I misunderstand what you mean?] Do you want to say that Nan Liujing has the idea of subduing Qi Mingxu for his use? 】

[yes.] ]

There is no need for her to deliberately issue any orders, now, when encountering available people, Nan Liujing will already consciously release his good intentions and find a way to let the other party become his help.

So, there's no need to do anything more to remind you.

The system stumbled and said: [But he is the leader of the rebel army...... Can this really work......]

[Why not?] What's not to do? I think Liujing has the courage to do this. ]

[It is easy to find talents with middle and upper qualifications, but it is difficult to find people with qualifications like Qi Mingxu.] Wouldn't it be a pity if Qi Mingxu couldn't be used for Liujing? Liujing is short of manpower. ]

What's more, Qi Mingxu is still very immature at this time, and he is far from being the leader of the rebel army who has been tempered by the flames of war.

And her child is no longer the boy who has no one to teach.

Thinking of that period of history in the past, Yao Rong lowered his eyes and chuckled.

[In his previous life, Liujing gave Qi Mingxu a Zen holy decree, so that Qi Mingxu could change the dynasty at the lowest cost. In this life, it's Qi Mingxu's turn to bow down and expand the territory for Liujing, which is fair, right? ]

What the system can say.

The system can only dryly say: [Feng Shui takes turns, which is indeed very fair. 】:,,
