The morning light is getting brighter, the morning breeze is not strong, the green seedlings that have just passed the knee are no longer shaking, Xue He let go of his right hand, the broken arm is no longer bleeding, he picked up seven knives from the ground, and slowly inserted them back into the sheath behind him. Throughout the process, a look of pain flashed across his pale face, and it was clear that these simple movements were extremely difficult for him now.

Su Li and Chen Changsheng had already ridden the deer away, but he didn't leave, but sat down like this, pricking his wounds while thinking about something. After the Qingteng banquet and the Great Dynasty Examination, Chen Changsheng had already become famous, and it spread far outside Kyoto, and his brother Xue Xingchuan specifically mentioned this young man in his letter. Xue He knew that this young man was the youngest dean of the National Religious Academy in history, and it could even be said that he represented the voice of the National Religion and the old royal forces to the Holy Queen Niangniang, but this young man should have been tried in Zhou Yuan, why did he suddenly appear in the north of Tianliang County, together with Su Li?

Of course, the main reason why he didn't leave immediately at this moment was not to think, but to wait for the assassin hidden in the cyan field to appear. He didn't know who the assassin was, although he got Su Li's whereabouts from the other party, he only knew that since the assassin didn't stay away, it meant that he was in danger - when leaving, Su Li told Chen Changsheng that the assassin was very likely to take advantage of Xue He's serious injury to kill him, and then put this matter on Chen Changsheng's head - Xue He himself thought the same way.

Suddenly, without warning, a fresh breeze blew in the quiet field, and the green sorghum pole bowed slightly in the wind, revealing a figure like a stone.

Suddenly, the figure disappeared again, and it should have been closer.

Xue He's right hand reached behind him and grasped the hilt of the knife.

As a Great Zhou God General, even if he is unable to fight again, he will die in battle, if he is really destined to die in the hands of these ghosts, it is better to die under his own sword.

The breeze continued to blow, but the Assassin never appeared.

I don't know how long it took, when the sun was getting stronger and Xue He, who had lost too much blood, was about to lose his support, he suddenly found that the assassin was gone.

Why did the assassin leave? Xue He didn't understand, and struggled to stand up with his knife propped up, and then saw someone on the ground not far in front of him, writing a line of very clear words with a sword.

The Assassin must have seen the line, so he didn't do anything.

"Liu Qing, Zhou Tong will know what you have done. ”

Xue He's expression changed slightly, he didn't expect that the assassin to be the legendary Liu Qing, let alone that Su Li and Chen Changsheng would leave such a sentence before leaving.

It was these words that saved his life.

......

......

On the shore of a lake five hundred miles north of Tianliang County, two hairy deer were drinking with their heads down, and Chen Changsheng was cleaning the grass and mountain fruits that the hairy deer would eat later according to Su Li's instructions. The lake water was a little cool, he looked at Su Li, who was resting by the lake, and asked curiously, "Who is Liu Qing?"

The words outside the sorghum were written by him with a short sword, but the content was said by Su Li, and he didn't know what that sentence meant.

Su Li said: "It's in the birch forest, in the sorghum field, the guy who never dares to show his face." ”

Chen Changsheng was a little surprised, and said, "Is that assassin very powerful?"

Su Li said casually: "When those old guys in Tianji Pavilion were bored, they once privately ranked a list of killers on the mainland, and Liu Qing ranked third. ”

"No. 3 ...... on the killer list"

Chen Changsheng thought about being secretly followed by such a terrible assassin all the way, and suddenly felt that the wind blowing on the lake became a little cold, and subconsciously looked around.

It's just that...... The terrible assassin who was the third on the killer list could have such an ordinary name? He was a little puzzled.

Su Li opened his eyes and said, "The more professional the killer, the less attention will be noticed, and the amazing assassin who has always been at the top of the list doesn't even have a name." ”

Chen Changsheng felt that this sentence sounded a little weird, what kind of character was the assassin at the top of the killer list, who actually made Su Li praise it? You must know that even the Heavenly Sea Holy Empress and the Pope didn't get much respect in Su Li's speech. He couldn't figure it out, so he asked instead, "What do you mean by letting me leave that sentence?"

"Xue He is Xue Xingchuan's younger brother, Xue Xingchuan is Zhou Tong's only friend, if Zhou is asked to inform Liu Qing that he killed Xue He, Liu Qing's fate must be very miserable. ”

"Liu Qing is also afraid of Lord Zhou Tong?"

"The more people who can't see the light, the more afraid they are of Zhou Tong. ”

"Including the awesome assassin at the top of the killer list?"

"That one, of course, is a special case. ”

"But senior, you said before that after he killed Xue He, he could pretend that I did it, since he was the third assassin on the killer list, there must be a way to arrange it without any doubts. ”

"I know that he is Liu Qing, so as long as I live, Zhou Tong will know. ”

"Will Lord Zhou Tong believe your words?"

"You don't need to believe it, it is enough for Zhou Tong to suspect that Liu Qing killed it. ”

"But...... There is no evidence. ”

"When do you need evidence?"

Chen Changsheng thought about those terrifying rumors about Lord Zhou Tong, and thought to himself that this was indeed the case.

The people of Kyoto say that the name of Zhou Tong can stop babies crying at night, and now it seems that it can also deter an assassin who is third on the killer list.

He said, "I still don't understand why that assassin killed Xue He. ”

Su Li looked at him and raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't understand, why didn't you kill Xue He." ”

"The god Xue He is here to kill his predecessors, not me. Just like you said, after he knew who I was, he obviously didn't have any killing intent towards me, in this case, he had no way to kill you again, why did I have to kill him? senior...... You seem to have forgotten that when it comes to the camp, I should be closer to Xue Heshen than to you. ”

Chen Changsheng said: "On the contrary, since the seniors want me to kill Xue He, why did they ask me to leave that sentence before leaving?"

Su Li said: "Since you are unwilling to kill, of course you have to let him live, and you will have enough favors to avoid suffering." ”

Chen Changsheng didn't know how to answer this sentence, and instead said, "That assassin doesn't know when he will make a move. ”

He looked at the lake in the sunset, very worried. Uncle Lishan's prestige will naturally only be stronger than Zhou Tong's, but now Su Li no longer has that kind of deterrent, especially after he blocked Xue He's knife for Chen Changsheng in the early morning.

"Assassins are the most successful professions, so they must be the most conservative. ”

Su Li looked at the sunset in the lake and said, "Until I am fully confirmed that my injuries and the upper limit of your ability, he will not appear, let alone make a move, he will just wait like a retarded mind." ”
