Chapter 722: Old Accounts
Nie Zeng still can't get used to carrying a woman behind him, especially this woman has the ability to be quick and heavy, just like the legendary monster. As soon as he thought of this, he felt the back of his neck tingle, and the pride he once had was swept away.
If that's what the Dragon King is for, it's really a great success.
It is precisely because of this that Nie Zeng admires Shangguan Yun of Jinpeng Castle very much, this third young master is very kind to everyone, and he is very bold, daring to treat Han Wuxian as an ordinary woman, and occasionally even laughing harmlessly.
Han Wuxian's laughter showed that she seemed to be very interested in this.
Shangguan Yun didn't ignore the taciturn killer, and somehow, Nie Zeng felt that he hadn't said a few words in total, but he had already explained his complicated relationship with the Dragon King: "The Dragon King killed my uncle's family of three, sooner or later I will take revenge." ”
To Nie Zeng's surprise, Shangguan Yun actually defended the Dragon King after listening to the general experience, "He was about the same age as you at that time, and he couldn't help himself, can you not kill the Dragon King if you asked him to kill someone? ”
"It's not the same. Nie Zeng said angrily, forgetting to be cautious, "No matter how much I can't help myself, I won't kill women and children who don't know martial arts." And I inquired, it was not Jinpeng Castle that ordered the killing of my uncle's family, it was the idea of the Dragon King and his master Tie Hanfeng themselves. ”
Nie Zeng forgot the origins of the two people around him, and his words were not recognized and resonated at all.
"You still claim to be a killer and say such ridiculous things. Han Wuxian said softly like a child who can't eat well, "Women don't need your sympathy, even if they don't know martial arts, we can still kill, if you set yourself a goal of not killing, why should you be a killer?"
"Your uncle's son was in his teens back then, and in Jinpeng Castle, he could already become an apprentice and practice killing, and the Dragon King was not particularly fierce. ”
"They...... They also insulted my aunt. Nie Zeng's face was flushed, but fortunately, they rode through the dark night, and no one saw his embarrassment.
The three of them were not in a hurry at all, they believed in the reins, not like they were going to perform a major task, but as if they were taking advantage of the night tour.
"Insulted? I can't see that the Dragon King still has this kind of potential. Han Wuxian asked curiously, as if he really didn't know anything about it.
Shangguan Yun pondered for a moment and guessed the general situation, "This is what Tie Hanfeng will do." He used to be my killer, a character, he saw through the nothingness of the killer very early, and he was bent on making money and planning to spend his old age in peace, and it must be him who insulted your aunt. And it is certainly not a personal grudge that he killed your uncle's family, Tie Hanfeng only kills people for money, if no one pays, you just kick him in public, and he will endure it. ”
"The Dragon King didn't say that they were taking money to kill people. Nie Zeng whispered, but he knew in his heart how stupid he was, of course the Dragon King didn't need to kill a foreign swordsman for no reason, it must be someone offended by the uncle's unruly surname.
Shangguan Yun seemed to be deeply immersed in memories, and after a while he said, "The Dragon King is a different person, but I didn't find out when we first met, it's really a huge mistake. Then he turned to Nie Zeng, "The Dragon King doesn't say it, he wants you to keep your hatred for him, hatred is the most powerful motivation, he admires you very much, and hopes that you can become a top killer." ”
Nie Zeng was dumbfounded, still a little unconvinced in his heart, "You are the Dragon King's subordinates, of course you speak for him." ”
"It's not. Both denied it at the same time.
Han Wuxian's long hair swept across the back of Nie Zeng's neck, "There is no one in the world who can make me Han Wuxian a subordinate, I will join forces with the Dragon King to eliminate the traitors of Xiaoyue Hall, and then go our separate ways, if he wants to monopolize Jinpeng Castle, we are enemies." ”
Shangguan Yun said with a smile: "I and the Dragon King are even more life and death, whoever wants to seize Jinpeng Castle is my enemy." ”
Han Wuxian turned her head slightly, her smile became more mysterious and charming in the dark night, "It's really a great joy in life to be able to keep up with the enemy, talking and laughing. ”
"Haha, we don't necessarily have to be enemies. ”
"It is my lifelong goal to recapture Jinpeng Castle, but I can't just let it go. ”
"If you want Jinpeng Castle, you may have to rob it, the castle is lacking a suitable hostess, if the hall master is willing to marry, wouldn't everyone be happy? Well, except for the Dragon King. ”
Han Wuxian chuckled, without a hint of anger, "Are you proposing for yourself or for your Lao Tzu?"
Shangguan Yun Zhengse said: "How dare you wronged the master of the Han Hall, who is as beautiful as a heavenly immortal and has great martial arts, and who has a nominal and unreal king on his head? ”
Nie Zeng's topic was over, he was thinking about his own thoughts, and he barely paid attention to what the other two were saying.
Han Wuxian's combing speed slowed down a bit, and he seemed to be seriously thinking about Shangguan Yun's suggestion, "This is also a solution." You go back and ask, if King Dubu really has this intention, let him propose in public, and from then on he will be in charge of the women in Jinpeng Castle, and I will be in charge of the killers, and our children will inherit the king and the stone castle in the future. As for you, don't blame the stepmother for being ruthless, just stay in Xiaowan Kingdom, never go home, I will go to see you once in a while, let's also have a son, let him inherit your throne. ”
Shangguan Yun stroked his palms and laughed, "Hall Master is refreshing, I'm fine, I'm afraid Dubu King can't think of it." ”
"Then you will go back and assassinate your Lao Tzu, be the king of Dubu yourself, and then marry me. ”
"I don't have this ability, Dubu Wang's martial arts is not the first in the world, but also the top in the Western Regions, and there are blue-faced guards by his side, I am not his opponent. ”
"Coward, with my help, are you still afraid that you won't be able to kill the Dubu King?" Han Wuxian's tone was even softer when he said the rebuke, and it had reached the point of getting tired.
Nie Zeng couldn't pretend that he couldn't hear it, so he interjected to change the topic, "Who is more powerful, the Dubu King or the Dragon King?"
"The King of Solitude. Shangguan Yun replied without hesitation, "The Dragon King is very powerful, but he is busy fighting for hegemony, and he has too little time to practice, far less than the Dubu King." ”
"The Dragon King practiced in the sword forest and sword rain. "This time, Nie Zeng defended the Dragon King. Practice is a master, this is the first lesson he learned from Hu Shining, the teacher of Gong transmission.
"This is a stage, just like you have to face a stake split, after this stage you have to learn something else, the dragon king has experienced less than two percent of the sword forest sword rain of the Dubu King, which proves that he is not an opponent. ”
"Alright. Han Wuxian stretched, "I smell the smell of the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall, this is what King Yun said." ”
Looking at the camp in the distance, Shangguan Yun sincerely admired, "The hall master's secret technique is really superb. That's right, the Golden Wings Killer reported that there had been anomalies here for two nights in a row, and the intruder's modus operandi was very similar to that of Xiaoyuetang. ”
Han Wuxian looked at it for a while, then suddenly jumped from the rattan chair to the ground, jumped into the grass, and soon flew up like a big bird again.
Nie Zeng was dumbfounded, "I knew she could walk." ”
"You should feel lucky to be able to carry the Hall Master of Xiaoyue Hall on your back. Shangguan Yun showed a hint of envy.
"Why didn't you take the initiative to ask for help?"
"I'm old. Shangguan Yun, who was in his thirties, jumped up and followed behind Han Wuxian, although the number of light skills was different, he was also a master.
Both horses were left to Nie Zeng, who felt that he had been slighted, but he still bolted his mount to a nearby rock and burrowed into the grass to chase Han Wuxian and Shangguan Yun.
In his opinion, Han Wuxian's jumping light skills are too eye-catching, and Shangguan Yun's flower-like kung fu is also a bit flamboyant, not like the style of a Jinpeng killer.
In any case, the light skills of these two people are much more powerful than the young killers, and the distance is getting farther and farther, and neither of them takes Nie Zeng's protection seriously.
"I'm not looking at horses. Nie Zeng muttered in a very low voice, turned around and went straight to the camp. The closer he got to the patrol, the more he managed to dodge, and his confidence grew, but he didn't know what he was going to do. He knew very little about Xiaoyuetang, and he couldn't find any clues in the unfamiliar region.
The clues came on their own.
Nie Zeng climbed up to the camp fence, jumped inside and sneaked around, and didn't go far before he heard someone shouting "assassin" in the distance, probably Han Wuxian and Shangguan Yun were exposed, Nie Zeng snorted silently: One of the principles of the killer is never to rescue the exposed partner, it is likely to be a trap.
As he walked on, he saw a figure jump out of the camp in the distance, panicked like a rabbit being chased by a hunter, but there was no one behind him.
This is definitely not a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall, Nie Zeng did not stop.
The camp was getting more and more chaotic, Nie Zeng slowed down, and was considering whether he should evacuate, when seven or eight people came with torches, and one of them looked like a woman.
Nie Zeng's heart moved, aren't the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall all women?
The men were more interested in the barracks, and someone said, "This is it, and there are two other places, and they have sent people, and there is something crawling on it, and the patrol soldiers do not dare to squeak, and now they think that it may be an assassin." ”
"Idiot. The person who looked like a woman was actually a man, "I didn't report it when I saw the abnormality, are you still a close servant?"
The others lowered their heads, and one of them whispered back: "Because that thing climbs very slowly, it doesn't look like a human, they think it's the old Khan King......"
"Shut up!" the man scolded, holding his torch close to the barracks, "there must be someone doing ...... hell."
Before he could finish speaking, the barracks suddenly burst into flames, and the fire was so fierce that it almost set the clothes of the torchbearers on fire.
Everyone retreated, and a voice shouted, "That's a word, four words, what is written?"
The leader threw away the torch, his legs weakened with fright, looked up, and read in passing: "The black horse is dying." ”
The soldiers gasped, and they all turned around and ran, shouting in their mouths, this time it was all Beiting dialect, and Nie Zeng couldn't understand a word.
Only the leader was stunned, and after a while he shouted, "Fake, this is a fake ......"
Nie Zengzeng's speed rushed over, he recognized who this man was, intending to capture a prisoner.
The leader was one of the several shamans in the close service army, Nie Zeng had seen it from afar, and although he didn't recognize his appearance, he remembered that he was covered with feathers.
The shaman didn't know martial arts, so Nie Zeng smashed the back of his head with the handle of his knife, and held him in his arms before the other party fell.
A knife came silently.
Nie Zeng pushed away the captive and drew his sword to block, but his heart was pounding, this was the first time he was so close to death, although he had been prepared from the day he became a killer apprentice, he couldn't help but feel nervous and afraid.
The sneak attacker was dressed in black and masked, a knife was as fast as a knife, Nie Zeng lost the opportunity, he could only barely support it, and his heart became more and more shocked, this person's knife technique seemed to be all the way with himself.
A voice came from above the barracks, "Let's go." ”
The masked man seemed to have to defeat Nie Zeng, but many soldiers were rushing to watch the "miracle", obviously this place should not stay for a long time, the masked man finally jumped to the top of the camp fence with only two jumps, leaving a sentence, "Your sword skills are good." ”
Nie Zeng knew who these two people were, and he couldn't get angry in his heart.
