Chapter 55 An Assassin

Fang Xiaodao said: "I naturally don't want to die. ”

Qiu Ding said: "So, we can negotiate a deal." ”

Fang Xiaodao is now alone, with no wealth and no merit. So he really couldn't think of anything else to trade with someone like the Sword and Horse King. Fang Xiaodao was puzzled: "What deal?"

Qiu Ding said: "I want you to kill someone?"

Fang Xiaodao frowned and said, "I asked myself that my martial arts are not bad, but I'm afraid I'm not an excellent assassin." ”

Qiu Ding shook his head and said, "You may not know yourself very well, but you are actually a very qualified assassin. This morning, in the abandoned courtyard of the royal court, you used a wooden stick to wreak havoc on the best assassin in the palace. If the stick of wood in your hand had not decayed, he would have died, especially if you usually used a sword. ”

Fang Xiaodao said helplessly: "It seems that you know everything, Lord Wang." But I don't know who I met in the morning, and why did he kill me?"

Qiu Ding said: "You must be wondering if this person was sent by me to test your martial arts." I have no grievances with you, and I will never use murder methods to test your martial arts. As for who that person is, I won't tell you, and I won't tell you why he is for. Because I know that Qin Bugui's disciples will never dare to kill people. ”

Fang Xiaodao was silent, he had already had murderous intent in the morning, if it weren't for the rotten wood that was really useless, that person would have died a long time ago. Fang Xiaodao said: "I'm not busy talking about trading, I think the prince should also know my doubts." ”

Qiu Ding smiled: "Of course I know, because the three people I invited before were just as curious when they saw these scrolls. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Oh, then these three people, are they also the people who trade?"

Qiu Ding said: "Naturally, it is a transaction, but it is not the same as today's transaction. Of the other three people I hired, there was one person you knew so well that you might have guessed who he was. ”

Fang Xiaodao nodded and said, "Even if it's not me standing here today, he won't believe that someone can remember my grandfather's moves when he makes a move." So I'm curious, what made him leave all his sword moves here?"

Qiu Ding smiled: "You have already seen that kind of thing, and you are also very interested. ”

Fang Xiaodao really couldn't think of anything else in the world that could allow Qin Bugui to leave his swordsmanship here. Qin Bugui has always been very open to things outside his body.

Qiu Ding said: "There is no martial idiot who can refuse the temptation of profound martial arts. ”

Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean, Heavenly Sword Twenty-Seven?"

Qiu Ding said: "Naturally, it is the twenty-seventh Heavenly Sword, and the martial arts that people like him are interested in are probably only the twenty-seventh Heavenly Sword." ”

Fang Xiaodao suddenly realized: "After that transaction, my grandfather must also be disappointed!"

Qiu Ding said: "No, on the contrary, he left satisfied. However, when he was leaving, he said that no one in Daomachuan had been able to practice Heavenly Sword Twenty-Seven, so there was no need to worry about himself. ”

Fang Xiaodao felt incredible, this Heavenly Sword Twenty-Seven was obviously extremely ordinary, why would he leave with Qin Bugui's cultivation.

Qiu Ding said: "The one who came here today should have been another person, but there is something more urgent right now, so I invited you to come." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "You have already arrived just now, the reason why you didn't bother me is because watching the twenty-seventh of the Heavenly Sword is the reward for your transaction?"

Qiu Ding said: "This is just one of them, in the future, you can have a high status in my Daomachuan." If you're interested, wealth and beauty, you can get it. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "With such a reward, the person to be assassinated should be a very remarkable person!"

Qiu Ding nodded and said, "Of course, the palace master of the Supreme Palace of the Northern Desert can be an ordinary person. ”

Fang Xiaodao's eyes widened and said, "Do you know that this is an impossible thing?"

Qiu Ding smiled: "Then I can tell you that this is also an imperative thing. Because, if you don't kill him, his granddaughter will be killed by my sword. And as far as I know, his granddaughter should be your lover. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "This doesn't seem to be a deal, but you are threatening me." ”

Qiu Ding said: "This is indeed a deal, because you will gain a lot more than you lose. You don't have a friendship with Old Demon Shan, but killing him can save your lover's life. What's more, if you get the Twenty-Seven Heavenly Sword, you can also get a fortune. ”

Fang Xiaodao sneered, "Do you think you can threaten me?"

Qiu Ding nodded and said, "I didn't doubt this, because when I chose you, I knew that you would never refuse." You are the one most likely to kill Old Demon Shan, because when we detained his granddaughter, you escaped from Daomachuan for the sake of your lover and went to the Northern Desert Supreme Palace to find rescuers. What a reasonable thing to do, I don't think he should have doubted it. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Do you want to make the Supreme Palace of the Northern Desert chaotic, and then take the opportunity to destroy the Supreme Palace, and never suffer from it again?"

Qiu Ding said: "Of course you can say that, but I don't mean to destroy the Supreme Palace. I just thought that in this troubled world, the Supreme Palace might take the opportunity to enter the Daoma River. This is something I don't want to see, so I don't want them to have the strength to enter the Daoma River. Dao Ma Chuan not only started a war against the Hu people, but also had to deal with his own people's rebellion, so he couldn't give the Supreme Palace a chance. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "You better talk about it, why do you think I will definitely go?"

Qiu Ding said: "Do you really want to look at your lover with a knife between the wall around his neck before agreeing? After speaking, he immediately clapped his hands, and saw two masked people outside the door walking in, one on the left and the other on the right was an extremely embarrassed woman, with her head down, her face could not be seen, but Fang Xiaodao was very familiar with the figure of Shan Yan. Her body seemed to be full of holes, and the blood stains had not yet dried.

Fang Xiaodao almost crushed his teeth, and such a scene was a hundred times more uncomfortable than being on the verge of death.

Fang Xiaodao tried hard to stabilize his emotions, walked over and said, "You two let me go." ”

Those two people really let go obediently, as if they were not afraid of Fang Xiaodao to escape at all. In fact, there is no need for them to be afraid, because there is no escape here.

Fang Xiaodao reached out to catch Shan Yan, her face was no longer charming, just plain pitiful, not pitiful with a charming attitude.

Shan Yan's unsparked eyes stared at Fang Xiaodao and said, "You're fine, it's good." ”

Fang Xiaodao had another woman lying in his arms two months ago, and it was light at this time, which was extremely similar to that time. He felt as if he was a scourge, so he always made the people around him unlucky.

Fang Xiaodao said softly: "You really shouldn't be for me, I'm an ominous person." ”

Shan Yan didn't speak, as if she didn't know that Qiu Ding had proposed a deal to Fang Xiaodao. She covered the skin exposed by the sword's clothes, and then said, "If I can live and die together, I will always be better than Miss Su." ”

Fang Xiaodao felt that his eyes were a little sour, he was really a stupid woman.

Qiu Ding smiled: "The young man is really chivalrous and tender, but his memory can't be too bad." ”

Fang Xiaodao suddenly threw Shan Yan on the ground and said, "Stupid woman, who would want to live and die with you." You don't have the ability to save me, but you still want to live and die with me, it's a dream. Don't let me see you again, because I never loved you. ”

Qiu Ding gestured, and the two people immediately carried Shan Yan out. She kept looking back, but Fang Xiaodao never looked back, and Fang Xiaodao didn't move until the door closed. But she was quiet, not noisy or noisy. It wasn't until he had walked far away that he suddenly heard a heart-rending roar in Fang Xiaodao's ears, as if that sound was the most beautiful despair in the world.

Fang Xiaodao's heart was shocked, but he said to Qiu Ding very calmly: "I want you to remember that no matter what the result is, and no matter what you think of me, you will have a hatred with me from now on." ”

Qiu Ding nodded and said, "I know." So, did you say yes?"

Fang Xiaodao said: "Even if I don't agree, you should know that I have no choice." ”

The world is so big, there is no place without intrigue, this conspiracy world, cruelly showed his blood-stained fangs to Fang Xiaodao. If there was no calculation between people, Fang Xiaodao would probably still use those axes to deal with wood. But now, he had to deal with these intrigues with his sword, body, and even soul. Qin's criterion for not returning is that what can't be solved with one sword, come with a second sword. But Fang Xiaodao couldn't learn it, he didn't have the martial arts like Qin Bugui. As a result, Fang Xiaodao hated himself more and more for not having enough strength, and was even more eager for martial arts to reach a higher level.

Fang Xiaodao finally understood the "encounter" that Qin Bugui had said. The greatest opportunity for a person who practices martial arts should be this kind of unavoidable adversity. Only if you are unable to do so will you be urgent, and only if you are urgent enough, you will become a martial artist. At this time, the perseverance that a person can exert will be unimaginable, and the way of martial arts will never deceive a person with perseverance.

The Black Wind Forest is actually the forest where Fang Xiaodao buried that orchid. In the fierce Daomachuan River, this black wind forest is a place where frequent appointments are made. A place where grievances are often staged, naturally people often die, but there are never many people who die here. It's just that this is the royal court after all, and someone will bury the body every once in a while. This kind of burial is just a hasty matter, and it is a luxury to be able to own a burial hole by one, and it will not have a coffin, a tombstone, or even a warm skin like that orchid.

Tonight's Black Wind Forest is not destined to be calm. This is the place where the two brothers of Fang Xiaodao and An Jia meet, but after nightfall, it becomes a gladiatorial arena, a gladiatorial arena of people's hearts.

An Junchang and An Juntong and others are undoubtedly Fang Xiaodao, because they want Fang Xiaodao to live. Of course, there are reasons for Ding Jianliang, but the most important thing is that Fang Xiaodao is the one who returned the knife. On the surface, returning the knife means that the wind is calm, but in fact, no one who has evil intentions has changed because of a knife. As a result, Fang Xiaodao suddenly became a very key figure. If you want to make waves, then go find Fang Xiaodao. As long as Fang Xiaodao could tell that the knife was not real, or that he and Qiu Zhangyi were lying during the sacrifice, the wind and waves would naturally rise. And people like Xiang Anjia are loyal fans of the Qiu family, and they naturally won't let such a key figure fall into the hands of others. Besides, they still have Qiu Zhangyi's instructions.

Everyone was looking for Fang Xiaodao, but Fang Xiaodao entered the palace and left the palace, as if he had disappeared out of thin air. As a result, the Black Wind Forest became a key place, and it was also crucial whether Fang Xiaodao would come or not.

An Junchang heard the footsteps outside, and suddenly shouted to the warriors behind: "Be on guard!"

An Juntong felt that An Junchang was too cautious, this matter was extremely secretive, and no one should find out. But when he heard it clearly, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and his hand tightened the handle of the knife.

The person who came was Hu Qianzhang, and next to him was his second son, Hu Xuan.

The An family and the Hu family are not friends, An Junchang did not dare to relax at all, but said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Uncle Hu, why are you so interested in coming to this black wind forest for a night tour!"

Hu Qianzhang sneered: "You really have a clever mouth. But if you want to get me away with your clever mouth, and then leave with that damn escape. All I can say is that you don't really know how to do it. ”

An Junchang is older, and knowing secrets is a very picky thing. For a person like Hu Qianzhang, there are few things in the royal court that he doesn't know. An Juntong was very surprised, and disguised: "Where is the uncle, it's just because we are in a hurry to rush back to Shahe, so we are just waiting for my father here." ”

Hu Qianzhang's eyes widened and said, "Are you going to be my enemy?" Fang Xiaodao killed my poor child, and I must avenge him." ”

Many people have seen the fact that Fang Xiaodao came to the Black Wind Forest with a coffin on his back, and Hu Kai sent someone to the Black Wind Forest to kill Fang Xiaodao, and this matter is not difficult to find out. It's just that after Fang Xiaodao nailed through Hu Kai, he deliberately drew a wide wound when he drew the sword, so just looking at the wound, it doesn't seem to be left by the Pujia Sword. Among them, okra is a very key person, but she throws a mouse bogey, otherwise there is no doubt about Fang Xiaodao's murder.

Even if Fang Xiaodao was not suspected of killing Hu Kai, Hu Qianzhang would never let Fang Xiaodao go. He was not a generous person, but Fang Xiaodao didn't give him any face.

An Junchang said: "Uncle Hu, I'm afraid you are a little arbitrary! Although your son has a conflict with Fang Xiaodao, he may not want to kill someone!"

Hu Qianzhang sneered, ordered his people to hide, and no longer paid attention to the two stinking children of the An family.

Fang Xiaodao didn't expect that he actually had such a big face, and took a look outside the Black Wind Forest. Suddenly, someone patted him on the back, but when he turned around, he saw Zong Hangyao signaling him not to speak.

The two of them walked a little farther, and Zong Hangyao said, "You, you can really be regarded as causing trouble." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "I didn't kill the messenger, so I can't be considered to have caused trouble!"

Zong Hangyao said: "Yesterday's big sacrifice, you shouldn't have been in the limelight. If you are in the limelight, you will naturally offend many people, how can these people let you go. ”

Fang Xiaodao was held against the back by the knife, and he was forced to do so, how could he be a showy person. He would rather that everyone would not pay attention to him, so that there is less right and wrong.

Zong Hangyao continued: "It's a very strange thing that your sword has been stolen. Because if you can steal your sword, you can also kill you. Moreover, I have seen the wounds of the messenger, which is definitely the work of a very good swordsman. All of this seems to push you into the position of the killer. You can't explain who will set up the blame, and you can't clear the suspicion. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "The senior said yes. ”

Zong Hangyao felt that Fang Xiaodao seemed to be a little impatient, and felt strange in his heart, he looked at the woods and said, "There is one more thing, you probably would never have thought of it." ”

Fang Xiaodao said, "Oh?"

Zong Hangyao said: "You helped Bai Yunxiao. This seems like a good thing, but it also causes another disaster. Because in the eyes of the chasing soldiers, Hu Envoy is Hu Envoy, not Bai Yunxiao. So, at this point, your killing of the Central Plains Envoy has become a dead end. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "However, Bai Yunxiao is not a Hu envoy after all, so it's not difficult to unravel!"

Zong Hangyao said: "I was with Bai Yunxiao before I came out, he was injured, otherwise he would have followed." After he separated from you, he actually figured it out very quickly, but he couldn't find you and was injured again. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "There shouldn't be many people who can hurt him!"

Zong Hangyao said: "Daoma River is more dangerous than when you were in the Central Plains. Not only because there are so many swords and horses, but also because you almost don't know or hear of the masters here. I suspect that the people who did it to Bai Yunxiao should be from the Ba family and the Hu family. ”

Fang Xiaodao nodded, but he felt that it might not be. The Sword and Horse King may also send someone to attack, in order to seal his retreat, forcing himself to turn to no one.

Zong Hangyao said: "I have an appointment with someone, so I can't take you out of Sichuan." I came to you today to ask you to leave Daomachuan quickly. I will try my best to help you resolve your grievances, but the matter is complicated, and you can't stay for a moment. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Thank you seniors, juniors will leave Daomachuan." ”

Even if Zong Hangyao didn't say it, he didn't want to be entangled here at this moment. Shan Yan was suffering, and he couldn't delay any longer.

Zong Hangyao took out the Pujia sword from his wide robe and said, "The thing is returned to the original owner, you can leave quickly." ”

Fang Xiaodao was a little moved, after all, in this impersonal Dao Ma Chuan, in addition to Shan Yan, there are still people who are good to themselves.

Fang Xiaodao took the long sword and saluted respectfully: "If I can meet my predecessors in the vast sea of people one day, I will definitely drink another good wine." ”

Zong Hangyao said: "Go ahead, your rivers and lakes are still very long." ”

The road to the rivers and lakes is very long, and the meaning of this sentence is to say that you are young, or that the troubles of your life have just begun. It seems to make sense. Maybe Zong Hangyao originally had these two meanings, and if it is easier to understand, it should be "Boy, you are still young, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future, you must go on well." ”

Holding the Pujia Sword, Fang Xiaodao disappeared into the night, causing everyone in the Black Wind Forest to pounce. However, after the air was pounced, Fang Xiaodao would not get rid of these people. Because he went today, at least he might be able to keep the friend of An Jia. Not going means that he will really become the murderer of the Central Plains envoy in the eyes of others. And now, he is an Assassin, an Assassin in a dilemma.

Not long after leaving, somewhere outside the royal court, there were still people waiting for Fang Xiaodao. The white-haired old man led a horse and held a sword, and it seemed that he had been waiting for Fang Xiaodao for a long time.

Fang Xiaodao walked over, and the old man said, "It's really redundant, you actually got the Pujia back." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Why you?"

The old man said: "Because the prince knows, only I can talk to you." ”

Fang Xiaodao smiled bitterly: "It seems to be really like this." ”

The old man gave the reins of the horse to Fang Xiaodao, and when he was about to leave, Fang Xiaodao said: "What is your name, I remember that my grandfather said about you, but never mentioned your name." ”

The old man turned around and said, "It's not that he doesn't know, but he doesn't want to mention it." As I said, you don't know about Qin's past. Remember, my name is Song Kejie. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "It's not like a cold-blooded name that kills people. ”

The old man said: "Fang Xiaodao doesn't use a knife either. After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.

For the first time, Fang Xiaodao felt that he still had a bit of a superior demeanor. Although I don't know his life, I can be sure that anyone who has done something extreme must have some extraordinary past, and there will be a wonderful story.
