Chapter 29: One Year
Time is like a white horse passing through a gap, in a blink of an eye, the flowers bloom and the leaves fall, the snow is white, and spring returns to the earth.
A year passed like this.
What is surprising is that after the army of the Chaoyuan State attacked Xiguancheng, it did not continue to break inward, plunder resources, and feed the war with war, but stubbornly defended the pass.
Liang Guo, on the other hand, kept harassing and encircling him.
In the end, the contest between the two countries turned into the capture of the teleportation array.
After all, if there is no food and grass, it is a turtle in the urn, and the role of the teleportation array in it is self-evident.
For a time, the front-line battlefield became stalemate, which made the people in the two countries quite dissatisfied.
On our side, dissatisfaction is a ridicule of the fact that the army of the Yuan State of Chao did not dare to attack, and on the other side, dissatisfaction is the resentment that the army of the Liang State cannot recover its homeland.
Although this matter made the two imperial courts anxious, however, Liang's calculations seemed to be empty.
And the Qin family, during this time, three major events happened.
First of all, Qin Yue announced the news of Qin Changsheng's disappearance, which shocked the Ju clan.
Later, Qin Yue unilaterally made the decision and appointed his third son, Qin Chang'an, as the heir to the head of the Qin family, which provoked everyone to come to advise him to protect his second son, Qin Changhuai.
The last thing is a little intriguing.
Soon after, when Qin Changan went to Chai Yunlou to eat and drink, he was assassinated by several assassins.
However, Qin Zhan was able to save his life by disguising himself as a servant beside him, and the Assassin fled after leaving behind the corpse of one of his companions.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the Qin Mansion became extremely tense, and no matter how stupid people were, they could guess what Qin Chang'an's assassination meant.
was different from the past, and then everyone was closed, and the Qin family's behavior became cautious, for fear that they would have any inappropriate words and deeds that would attract suspicion or blame for themselves.
However, as the days went on, Qin Yue didn't seem to delve into this targeted assassination.
On the other side, Qin Changsheng had already known everything that happened in the Qin family through the teahouse.
He understood that everything his father did was just to let the dark forces surface, which was equivalent to telling him that all the roots had to be dug out of the stray arrows.
However, this disturbance is harmless, and the people behind it will definitely not be able to sit still again.
Speaking of stray arrows, Qin Changsheng came into contact with many people and killed many people.
However, the list he chooses will investigate the details of the target in advance, and if there is a way to die, he will accept it, which is also the only bottom line he has adhered to for so long.
If he sees a list of indiscriminate killings of good people, he will not care.
Because the rules of the game are like this, if you don't pick it up yourself, someone will always go.
Here, there is no so-called justice, and everyone is just taking money to do things and eliminate disasters for others.
"Little Mask, the list you asked me to keep an eye on last time is here. Su Ye called Qin Changsheng over.
The title of "Little Mask" was naturally the name she gave Qin Changsheng very early.
Because Qin Changsheng had never said his real name to the outside world, and he often wore a mask, it was natural that Su Ye called him like this.
"What is the content of the list?" Qin Changsheng was a little anxious.
"The day after tomorrow, the Qin family and his party will come to visit the Wei family and will stop at the East Gate Station of Xiaoyang City. The mission is to assassinate the third son of the Qin family, Qin Chang'an. The opponent is very likely to have a strong person in the Guandao Realm, so it is recommended that multiple people join forces, and it is best to kill them with one hit. Upon completion, a prize of S$5,000 will be awarded. ”
"Great, I must take this list!"
"Why?" Su Ye was a little puzzled, although this list was rich, it was also extremely dangerous.
"Qin Changan is my enemy, if I don't take revenge, when will I wait?" Qin Changsheng said loudly, and the people around him who took orders also heard it.
"Everyone, I am willing to take nothing, and please help me and kill this guy. ”
Su Ye frowned, she knew that Qin Changsheng was lying.
But she didn't debunk Qin Changsheng on the spot, after all, everyone has their own secrets.
After a while, three powerhouses at the peak of qi refining found Qin Changsheng, and they all expressed their willingness to cooperate with him and win this order.
Qin Changsheng cried with joy, began to clench his fists at the three of them one by one, and began to discuss the rough plan.
The other three were also happy, five thousand Singapore dollars, one less penny, and they could have nearly 1,700 Singapore dollars alone.
If they can finish this ticket, they can have a good rest for half a year.
"Su Ye, can you show me the letterhead?"
Su Ye nodded and handed him the letterhead.
Qin Changsheng sniffed the letter paper and rubbed it with his fingers again, his face a little solemn.
Qin Changsheng exchanged the letter paper to Su Ye, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Miss Su for today's matter, farewell!"
Su Ye was a little strange, it was the first time that the other party called her Miss Su so officially, making her feel as if he was saying goodbye.
After Qin Changsheng returned to the inn, he lay down on the bed early, but he tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep.
He opened the window and found it dark, but a full moon hung high and lit up the room.
"Little mask?"
Qin Changsheng almost summoned the purple lightning, but after hearing a familiar voice, he relaxed his nerves.
"You're following me?" Qin Changsheng did not deny his identity.
A slick figure descended from the rooftop, and then sat down on the edge of the window.
"I didn't expect that behind the mask, there is still such a handsome young man, although he is a little younger, but it still suits my appetite!"
The person who came was Su Ye, and when he said the flirtatious words, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.
"May I come in?"
Qin Changsheng did not answer.
Su Ye was a little annoyed, and looked at Qin Changsheng obliquely and said, "It's been a year since we met, and you're so unfeeling?"
Qin Changsheng sighed, he joined the stray arrow wearing a mask, on the one hand, to hide his identity, and on the other hand, because he didn't want to have too much entanglement with the people in it.
To be honest, after entering the stray arrow, even if he simply took orders to kill, after a year, he did not fail to have a trace of subtle feelings for this place.
For him, the man who stray the arrow is very pure.
"After making this order, I plan to leave the stray arrow, Miss Su Ye has taken care of her for this year, and I am very grateful. ”
"What are you talking about! You can also come to stray arrows often in the future, old man, you have to make it like life and death!"
Su Ye was a little angry, she really regarded Qin Changsheng as a friend.
After being in contact with him for a long time, she found that Qin Changsheng was very different from other killers.
Well, he's a really good guy.
Qin Changsheng smiled, what Su Ye said was indeed reasonable, there were still many opportunities for them to meet in the future.
"It's been a year, time is so fast, can I ask you another question?" Su Ye suddenly spoke.
"Yes. ”
"What's your name?"
"Qin family, Qin Changsheng. ”
"Qin Changsheng......" Su Ye read it again, as if he was going to remember it in his heart, and then said to him, "Don't worry, I will keep your affairs secret." ”
"I'll go play with you when I'm free!" After saying this, Su Ye jumped onto the roof and didn't say any goodbye.
Qin Changsheng was a little relieved, but after a while, his heart was full of sorrow.
Today, when he looked at the letters, he found that the paper had been made by the Scribes.
The paper of the book is made of Zhongshan's spiritual bamboo pulping, although the price is expensive, but it is smooth and delicate, exudes a light fragrance, combined with the ink fragrance, it can be said that it complements each other, and the distinctive characteristics make this paper easy to judge.
The most important thing is that the paper of the Shujian Division is only used in the palace and is rarely circulated outside.
And those related to the palace, all Qingning County, there is only the Wei family.
The younger sister of the head of the Wei family, that is, his sister-in-law, is now in the palace Wei Meiren, who is the emperor's new favorite.
Not long ago, the emperor rewarded the Wei family in Qingning County with many palace treasures, including the paper made of Zhongshan Lingzhu.
With this entry point, it is also clear why the person who made the order knew the news of the Qin family's visit to the Wei family.
And he and Qin Changan were assassinated one after another, and the source of everything seems to point to his second brother, Qin Changhuai, and the Wei family behind him.
Although the truth came out, Qin Changsheng still did not have a conclusive conclusion.
No one can say for sure if such an intricate matter is not investigated clearly.
