Chapter 101: Enemies of Me
She took a deep breath. The internal force required to stay behind is too huge, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will be exhausted, and the person who uses it will not be able to bear to faint, and may even have to worry about your life.
Ouyang Mu thought about it, quietly feeling the residual internal force in his body. If she wants to use the meridians of her body in advance to open the meridians of her body in her current state, so that the internal force can flow unhindered in the body, and she must also merge the surrounding qi into the body in advance without anyone disturbing her, so that her body's bearing capacity will increase exponentially.
She sighed a little helplessly, her strength was still a lot worse, and it would be too risky if she didn't stay in actual combat.
As she pondered, there was a knock on the door outside the room.
Ouyang Mu was stunned for a moment, subconsciously became alert, clenched the dagger in his hand, and asked, "Who is it?"
The person outside the door shouted: "Miss, the second young master is asking to see you outside the door." ”
Hearing the words of the visitor, Ouyang Mu breathed a sigh of relief and put down the dagger. The second young master is pestering his younger brother Ouyang Su every day for the past few days. Since he was admitted to Xilu Academy, he will soon leave for the north to study. He had been separated from him for several years, and he couldn't help but miss her, and came to her a few days before he left home.
Although Ouyang Mu is also very concerned about this younger brother, he has a heavy responsibility in his body, and time is urgent, and he often closes his door in order to cultivate, and neglects him. Thinking about it like this, she also felt a wave of guilt in her heart.
Ouyang Mu secretly calculated, today was the last day before he left home. She put the dagger in her arms, dragged her tired body, and said lightly to the door, "Come in." ”
After a while, the door creaked open, and a cold wind blew in. Ouyang Su was wearing a peugeot silk gown, and his hair was curled maturely. He strode into the room excitedly and said to Ouyang Mu, "Sister." ”
Ouyang Mu looked his clothes up and down, and said with a faint smile: "Su'er, you're going to leave today?"
Ouyang Su nodded, came to her, smiled at her with a red face, "Sister, I'm leaving tonight, come and see you." ”
Ouyang Mu nodded and said, "It's not bad, Su'er has also grown up, and he has been admitted to the academy, which has won glory for our Ouyang family." ”
"Sister, you haven't told me yet. Ouyang Su walked into the room by himself, looked around, and said, "Where have you been all these years, you didn't even have a letter before you left home, do you know that I am dying." ”
Ouyang Mu listened, his eyes drooped slightly, and he was silent.
"Sister, after you left, grandpa was very angry and got angry. At that time, my father was busy with business and couldn't come back outside, so I wanted to run out to find you alone. Ouyang Su said to her.
Ouyang Mu gently squeezed out a gentle smile and said, "Okay, these things are a long story, and it's useless to tell you, you should prepare for the entrance examination with peace of mind." ”
Seeing that she was reluctant to speak, Ouyang Su pursed his lips and said reluctantly: "Why didn't you tell me? You left the house quietly, and suddenly came back, why the hell? Sister, I'm not a child anymore." ”
Ouyang Mu stepped forward, raised his hand and gently stroked his head. Now that Ouyang Su was almost as tall as her, Ouyang Mu looked at his face, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes.
"My sister's business is not important, I will take care of it, you are now an adult, and you are the pride of your sister. ”
Ouyang Su listened, did not appreciate it, shook his head and shook her hand, and said with a resentful expression: "Is it because of Ouyang Mo? I have heard from the elders in the family that you ran away from home because of him." He was admitted to Xilu Academy, and I was also admitted, why can't you tell me?"
Ouyang Mu's face froze, his hand was slowly lowered, and he said lightly: "Su'er, things are not what you think. It's more complicated, it's not something you can understand, obedient. ”
"Sister, just tell me, where did you go after you left home?" Ouyang Su shook his hand, looking unrelenting, and said.
"Su'er ......"
"Sister, do you know?" Ouyang Su looked at her and said, "I was admitted to Xilu Academy just for you." I know that cousin Ouyang Mo was admitted to Xilu Academy, so you went with him, I just want to go to Qin Kingdom to see if I can find your whereabouts. You know what? I ......."
"Sudding. Ouyang Mu interrupted him, looked him in the eye, and said gently, "It is your choice to be admitted to Xilu Academy, no one forces you." If you look at your peers outside, how many of them are still struggling to make ends meet? With such a good family background, you naturally can't live up to the expectations of your father and grandfather. Among your peers, very few people can get in, and you have become a leader. ”
"It's different. Sister ......" Ouyang Su said, tears of grievance burst out of his eyes, as if all the emotions accumulated over the years burst out. With a crying voice, he said to Ouyang Mu: "You don't know how important it is for me for you to leave me. Since I was a child, it has always been you who have protected me from being bullied by others, and I have always taken you as my role model. I dream that one day I can grow up quickly and can protect you, but I'm so scared now, I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity......"
After speaking, he suddenly hugged Ouyang Mu in front of him, threw himself into her arms, and cried bitterly. Ouyang Mu was stunned for a moment, and wrapped his hands around his trembling shoulders.
"Sister...... Can you not leave me......" Ouyang Su's choked voice came, beating on her heart word by word.
Ouyang Mu's heart softened, patted his back gently, and comforted: "Okay, I'm not leaving, good, manly man, don't cry." ”
Ouyang Su slowly let go of her, his face was full of tears, and he couldn't cry.
"Sister...... Do you remember...... When I was little, I played hide and seek with you...... I can't always find you......" Ouyang Su said intermittently, "But no matter how late it is, you won't leave me and walk away by yourself...... You'll always be behind me and take me home...... Sister ......"
Ouyang Mu looked at his face and stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from his face for him, and his heart suddenly melted.
"Su'er...... I ......"
Before she could say anything, a gust of wind chimes suddenly sounded in the corner of the room next to her.
"Who?"
Ouyang Mu was startled, and hurriedly subconsciously pushed Ouyang Su behind him, looking around vigilantly.
The room was empty, and the wind chimes on the wooden stakes that had split into several sections were nowhere to be seen.
Before she could react, suddenly, a cool breeze blew from the back of her head. She chuckled in her heart, hurriedly turned around, and Ouyang Su behind her disappeared in place.
The comers are not good. Ouyang Mu quickly took out the dagger in his arms, made a vigilant posture, tightened the strings, and searched the room with his eyes.
After a while, a figure landed directly in front of her, and she fixed her eyes to see that it was Yan Wuchang, who was dressed in simple gray clothes, looking at her leisurely, with the same smile on her face as always.
Ouyang Mu was stunned, she saw that behind Yan Wuchang, Ouyang Su, who had already fallen into a fainting, slowly lay down on the ground.
Yan Wuchang looked at her with a smile, shook his hand, and said lightly: "Not leaving a line is a unique secret skill of Dayan, so there are ten steps to kill one person, and a thousand miles to not leave a line." Leaving no trace of the secrets, it is the best choice for the Assassins. Although the internal force required is too large and has to affect the whole body, the key is also in footwork. ”
As he spoke, he took two steps forward, and the majestic internal force melted into the soles of his feet, silently, as if walking on the water.
"A mature footwork can stabilize the internal force of the body, so that the meridians can be quickly formed in a short time, so that the maximum effect can be achieved without leaving the line. If you don't have a mature footwork foundation, you will be forced to use internal force, and you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Yan Wuchang said, "What's more, you still want to gather the line of non-stay in the weapon, and seek the near and far, and rush for quick success, which is a bit too hasty." ”
Ouyang Mu came back to his senses and realized that he was teaching him the disadvantages of not staying in the line just now. In other words, he has been lurking here for a long time, and he can see his every move, and he is unaware of it.
Ouyang Mu thought about it, stabilized his mind, clenched the dagger, his eyebrows showed murderous aura, and said coldly: "Lord Wang, I don't know what is the matter when you come to me at this time?"
Yan Wuchang raised his eyebrows at her, and said complacently: "Oh? Then you mean that I can't come to you? You are a person from my Skynet, I told you as early as in Wu Kingdom, and your actions and reports must be completely subordinated to me alone." Still is...... Did I disturb your little abacus?"
Ouyang Mu still didn't let down his guard, looked at Ouyang Su behind him, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, this is my family matter, he doesn't know anything, can you let him go first?"
"Let him go?" Yan Wuchang showed a sneer and said, "I don't have anything to do, don't slander me, I'm not a person who is keen on violence." I'm here to ask you, how much else are you hiding from me?"
Ouyang Mu was stunned and said, "Hide it from you, Lord Wang, I don't understand what you mean." ”
Yan Wuchang looked at her tightly, put his hands behind his back, and asked lightly: "Before, in Wu Kingdom, after you knew that the county magistrate of Pingxiang County was Ouyang Mo, I only thought he was a distant cousin of yours, this is just a coincidence, why didn't you tell me that he was Chu Mo? We wasted a great opportunity to catch him." ”
Ouyang Mu frowned after hearing this, and said coldly: "Then the prince, are you doubting me now?
Yan Wuchang slowly shook his head and said, "Of course not." The people selected by my Skynet must have been screened in every way. Before you came to Skynet, you just cracked a case of undercover agents of the Chu State in the Tianshu Pavilion, so that you could be selected into Skynet. It's just that what I want to know is, what exactly are you going to do now?"
"Lord Wang, I returned to Korea according to your instructions and kept an eye on Chu Mo's whereabouts. He is now at the Ouyang Mansion in Nanzhou. Ouyang said.
"I know about you and Ouyang Mo, I'm not interested in these, but I don't want your sons and daughters to delay Skynet's plans. Yan Wuchang said, his face became cold, and he seemed to be the same as before, "Now, Skynet's only task is to kill him and bring his body back to Dayan." ”
After listening to his words, Ouyang Mu's heart trembled, his expression was still indifferent, unmoved, and said coldly: "Since the prince already knows, then follow the prince's orders, and I will fully cooperate." ”
"Full cooperation?" Yan Wuchang took a few steps forward, met the dagger in her hand, came to her, and said, "Tell me first, what is the purpose of your coming to Yan Kingdom and Tianshu Pavilion?"
Ouyang Mu's eyes were without fear, he looked at him and asked, "What if I don't say it?"
Yan Wuchang turned his head slightly, looked at Ouyang Su who fell to the ground behind him, and said to her, "Then you can try to see if you can keep up with my speed." ”
Ouyang Mu's face changed, with murderous intent in his tone, and asked, "Are you threatening me?"
"It's okay if you don't say it, I can find it myself. Yan Wuchang sneered and said, "But before you entered Skynet, did you think about what would happen if you were an enemy of Skynet?" Do you want your younger brother and the entire Ouyang Mansion to be buried with you?"
As soon as his words came out, the air in the entire room instantly suppressed and was breathless. Ouyang Mu's movements froze, she looked at Yan Wuchang in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time.
After a few moments, her eyes drooped, and her hand holding the dagger slowly lowered.
Yan Wuchang looked at her and asked lightly, "Tell me, when did you know that Ouyang Mo was the prince of Chu State pretending to be lurking, what is the purpose of your coming to Skynet?"
Ouyang Mu was silent, bowing his head slightly, and the hair in his ears swayed slightly. The room was silent, and the wind chimes that fell from the ground next to Yan Wuchang's feet lay quietly on the ground.
After a long time, Ouyang Mu said in a low voice: "That's it, these things can't escape the eyes of Skynet in the end." ”
She raised her head slightly, looked at the wind chimes on the ground, and narrowed her eyes, the delicate patterns on them seemed to prick her eyes.
"The relationship between Ouyang Mo and me, presumably the prince already knows. She said calmly, "That year, he insisted on going north for the entrance examination, and it was in the midst of war, and I was worried that he would be in danger when he went alone along the way, so I wanted to dissuade him, but he didn't listen." Later, he wrote an anti-Chu article on the road and was targeted by the local Chu army. Fearing for his safety, I ran away from home alone to find him, but it was too late. ”
Outside the window of the room, the gloomy clouds gradually dispersed with the north wind, and a faint morning light poked its head out shyly.
She paused, as if reminiscing, and continued: "I came to the border of the Qin State and heard that he had been captured and brought back to the Chu Palace. I had a hunch that he was already fierce and unlucky, so I secretly infiltrated the Chu State. After a lot of hard work to approach the Chu Palace, I suddenly saw that he was still alive, but it seemed to be a different person, with a convoy, secretly going south. I followed all the way, and along the way, I realized that it was definitely not him, but he was standing in front of me, and I felt that he must not be dead yet. ”
"And then?" Yan Wuchang asked nonchalantly, "You came to Yan Country with him?"
Ouyang Mu nodded and said, "When I followed him all the way, someone in my companion had already noticed my existence, but he was afraid of revealing his identity, so he didn't investigate deeply, so I came to Yan Country safely." ”
"That person is Li Qiuhan's son, Li Qianji?" Yan Wuchang asked.
"The prince guessed right. Ouyang Mu said, "After I entered the Tianshu Pavilion with them, I began to find out whether Ouyang Mo was alive or dead, and what they wanted to do. I've always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Ouyang Mo, but there are too many people in Tianshu Pavilion, and Li Qianji has already taken precautions against me, so I haven't been able to find a chance. It wasn't until later that I almost used a trick to expose Chu Mo's identity, but Li Qianji ruined my plan, blocked Chu Mo's face, and transferred him to Wu Guo and left my sight. ”
Yan Wuchang listened, narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and asked, "Therefore, you want to enter the Sky Net and get closer to Chu Mo?"
Ouyang Mu didn't speak, looked at him and nodded.
At this moment, the sky outside the room had cleared, and a few rays of dazzling sunlight shone straight through the doors and windows, casting on the ground, separating the two of them. Ouyang Mu's side face was covered by sunlight, and he couldn't see her expression clearly at the moment.
Yan Wuchang turned his head, let the sunlight outside the window bask his face, and asked lightly, "Then have you found anything in the past few days, why haven't you reported it to me?"
Ouyang Mu said in a low voice: "My ancestor and Ouyang Mo's family have always been at odds, and since I came back, my family has been watching me here. In addition, my younger brother is about to go north to study in the near future, and I am flawless, so I don't have time to look for him. But I can know that Chu Mo has been staying in Ouyang Mo's mansion now, and he has never taken half a step. ”
"Then what do you want to do now?" Yan Wuchang turned his head and asked her.
Ouyang Mu looked at him coldly, holding the dagger tightly in his hand, and did not answer.
"I will tell you now, the will of the Holy Lord of the current Great Yan Imperial Court. Yan Wuchang said lightly, "What the Holy Lord means is that it is very important that we want us to kill Chu Mo and bring his body back to Great Yan, and at the same time, it is very important not to arouse the vigilance of others, and not let others know Chu Mo's identity and our plan. So we have to be extra careful, right now, your identity is no longer suitable to stay here. ”
As he spoke, he raised two fingers and said, "Give you two paths, first, return to Dayan, whether you want to find out Ouyang Mo's whereabouts or take revenge on Chu Mo, it has nothing to do with Skynet." Second, quit Skynet and become my enemy. In return, I won't let you influence my plans. ”
Ouyang Mu listened, raised his eyes, his eyes glowed with a cold light, and said, "It took me so long to get to this point. The distance between me and the crown prince of Chu is so close, I will not take a step back. ”
"What about you...... Do you want to be my enemy?" Yan Wuchang looked at her with a playful look and said.
