In the reception room, only the three of them, Gong Sniper, Nineteen and Concubine Xi, Ziyan and other palace maids were waiting outside, and they were not allowed to enter without notification.
Concubine Xi frowned, her face full of regret, and was slowly helping Nineteen take off her shirt until Nineteen's upper body was completely naked. The wound on Nineteen's right shoulder was exposed, and it was covered with hemostatic and muscle-building medicine prepared by the medical officer.
Sniper took a deep breath, raised his right hand and gently put it on Nineteen's wound, and then raised his hand suddenly, and the medicine on the wound had been sucked out by Sniper's internal force. At this time, it can be seen that the wound that Nineteen had been pierced had completely closed, and the wound was slightly black around it, as if it had been soaked in medicinal herbs.
Concubine Xi's face was happy, and she said to the sniper:
"The effect of this medicine powder is good, just apply it for half a day, and the wound will heal!"
Sniper Gong said coldly: "Where is the effect of the medicine powder, this is the nineteenth physique is strong, and it is automatically healed." With that, he asked Nineteen again:
"Does the wound feel itchy?"
Nineteen shook his head and said, "No." ”
The sniper groaned for a while, and suddenly pointed at Nineteen's wound. Nineteen "ah" sounded, I felt a sharp pain, and the wound ruptured again, oozing a little blood. The sniper carefully dipped his finger in a drop of blood, held it to the place where the sun was shining, looked at it carefully for a while, and then put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then breathed a long sigh of relief. But soon his face showed suspicion again, and he said to himself:
"No, the dwarf's deadly bullet is highly poisonous, and there is no cure for the poisoned, no one can solve it, until they die of pain. Why is this kid completely unintoxicated?"
Nineteen Dao: "Master, have you forgotten? Ever since I was poisoned by Gu, I have been invulnerable to all kinds of poisons. ”
The sniper suddenly realized, the monkey finally showed a smile on his face, nodded to Concubine Xi and said: "Madam can dress Nineteen, yes, yes, this kid originally had a great creation, not only has a chaotic and incorruptible body, but also is invulnerable to all poisons, I actually forgot about this." ”
Concubine Xi asked a little worriedly:
"General Sniper, isn't it okay for Nineteen to do anything now?" Sniper Gong was once named a general to protect the country by the King of Chu, so Concubine Xi was called a general.
Sniper said: "It's okay, there is no need to apply any hemostatic and muscle-building medicine to disperse, the ability of nineteen self-healing wounds is stronger than any good medicine!"
Concubine Xi gently stroked Nineteen's wound with her hand, and when she saw that there was jet black around the wound, she was still not very relieved, and continued to ask:
"The wound is jet-black all around, is it because the toxin has not been drained?"
Sniper said: "That is nineteen's blood is poisonous, the medicine is invaded by poison, and the traces left on the skin will disappear after a few days, Madame doesn't have to worry about it at all." ”
At this time, Nineteen had already dressed and waved his right arm vigorously, and there was no discomfort at all, and even Nineteen himself was amazed by this magical ability to recover himself. Nineteen said to the sniper:
"Master, who are the dwarf you mentioned just now, as well as the old man and the skeleton girl, and why did you assassinate the Ninth Prince?"
The sniper's face became gloomy again, his eyes became very sharp, and he said with a sinister tone:
"I have a complete understanding of the whole process of the matter, and according to my analysis and inference, the target of these people's assassination is not Xiong Huai at all, but you!"
"Why?" Concubine Xi hurriedly asked, and Nineteen also looked at the sniper in confusion.
Sniper said: "On the surface, Nineteen attracted a big enemy because of his help to Xiong Huai, and the enemy was angry because of Nineteen's difficulty, and he wanted to kill Nineteen and then quickly, and then because Zhaohu appeared, he didn't have time to kill Xiong Huai in a hurry and fled." When Zhaohu reported to the king, he also analyzed and inferred in this way. However, this is not the case. ”
The sniper paused and continued: "If others don't know about these three people, how can I not know? Since these three people have made a move, how can they return in vain? Moreover, they committed murder in the downtown of the restaurant, and there were guards and servants downstairs, leaving them a very short time to assassinate, and if their target was Xionghuai, they would never be entangled with Nineteen. Judging from the situation at that time, the three of them shot at the same time at the last moment, and they were desperate and determined not to die. Therefore, although I did not witness it with my own eyes, the target of his assassination was undoubtedly Nineteen. ”
Concubine Xi was furious, "Why? Who are they? What is the grudge against Nineteen?"
The sniper sighed, "These three are assassins!"
"Assassin, what is that, is it a trade?" asked Nineteen in surprise.
"Assassins are not only an industry, but also a business with a long history. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, this industry has been very prosperous, and there have been many famous heroes and knights, among which the more famous ones are Zilu and Nie Zheng of Weiguo, Wu Yue's Zhuzhu and Yaoli, Yu Rang of Jin State, and Mei Ruler of Chu State. For example, a hundred years ago, the Dou family's Dou Tang was an assassin organization that specialized in assassinating political enemies and enemy leaders who disobeyed the King of Chu and the Dou clan. Three of the leaders of our barbarian clan were assassinated by Doutang after taking the lead, and their methods were extremely insidious and obscene. There are countless wicked people enshrined in the fighting hall, the most famous are the old monster of Yunmeng and the four murderers of Jingshan, who are not only strong in martial arts, but also ruthless. In order to complete the assassination mission, there are no chickens and dogs left everywhere he goes, which can be described as murderous and notorious. Thirty years ago, I was remembered by the old monster of Yunmeng, and after tracking me for three months, he finally succeeded in ambushing me on the shore of Dongting Lake. Fortunately, I knew a lot about water, and with the help of an old friend of the Shui Tribe, I sneaked into the Dongting Water Mansion with serious injuries and escaped with my life. ”
When the sniper recalled the past, his emotions gradually became excited, and his face showed a sad color. Seeing this, Concubine Xi hurriedly handed over a glass of water, and was afraid that he would talk about it farther and farther, so she said in a comforting tone:
"General Sniper, don't be excited, take a sip of water first, I don't know if the three people who assassinated Nineteen can be the people of Doutang?"
Sniper knew that Concubine Xi didn't want to let him talk more about his past, after all, his past involved the grudge between the barbarians and the Chu State, and this was an embarrassing topic for Concubine Xi and Nineteen.
Sniper took a sip of water, was silent for a while, and continued:
"The Doutang was disbanded twenty years ago, and the wicked people worshiped by the Doutang have disappeared over the years. These three people are by no means people from the fighting hall, they are people from the ghost clan. ”
"Oni, how come I've never heard of it?" Nineteen asked.
The sniper gave nineteen glances and said:
"How old are you? Of course you haven't heard of it. And this demon tribe is so mysterious that no one knows where they live, and no one knows how many people they have. The people of the ghost clan only occasionally appear in the rivers and lakes, but they always see the tail of the dragon and do not see the head, and it is difficult to find a trace. About ten years ago, I went to the Youdu City in search of Qiankun Jade, which is one of the nine secluded places in the world. It was there that I ran into these three men. The three of them took the initiative to find me, because they had heard of my name, and even asked me to help them win a treasure. And promised that after the deed was completed, he would give me ten thousand taels of gold as a reward. I promised them, as for the reward, I don't want gold, I offered to help me find the Qiankun Jade together after the treasure was successful. The three of them also agreed. So the three of them and I became temporary allies. After contact, I had a preliminary understanding of these three people. According to their own accounts, the Ghost Clan was originally a mysterious royal family with a very noble bloodline, and was one of the descendants of the Southern Emperor Chiyou in ancient times. However, due to the seal of a powerful force, the people of the whole clan live in seclusion in a mysterious place, and only a few people can break the seal through special methods, and occasionally appear in the rivers and lakes in order to complete some kind of task. Among the three, the dwarf, known as a dwarf in the rivers and lakes, was armed with a guqin and a silver bullet. Among them, the silver bullet is hidden in a blind eye, and the enemy of people, often unexpected, I don't know how many people died under the silver bullet in the rivers and lakes, so it is called the life-killing bullet. Moreover, both weapons contain highly poisonous, and between gestures, strong enemies are killed instantly, and they are quite famous in the rivers and lakes. The old man among the three people, the people in the rivers and lakes call the iron crutch impermanence, with a prosthetic limb as the iron crutch, the trick is strange, people are unguardable, within a hundred zhang, take people's lives only in the snap of a finger, so the people of the rivers and lakes call it impermanence. The girl among the three is called a pink skeleton by the people of the rivers and lakes, and her body, voice, and skin are no different from the girl, but in fact, according to her age, she is already an old woman. Her weapon is her fingernails, which can be transformed into a sharp sword, taking the enemy by surprise and unpreparedness, and I don't know how many high-rollers are folded under her claws. ”
"When I knew their details, I was also secretly frightened, because I had already heard that the three of them were very obedient, and they were famous in the Wuyue area, and they were known as the three ghosts of Youdu. Therefore, I always kept a certain distance from the three of him, and I did not dare to relax my vigilance in the slightest. According to the three of them, the treasure they seized was a "Martial Scripture", which was originally obtained by the Guigu faction, for some reason, the disciples of Guigu carried the "Martial Scripture" to Nanhua Mountain for pilgrimage, and passed through the secluded capital and were detected by the three ghosts, so they had the heart to seize the treasure. At the same time, I also learned that the people who protect the scriptures this time are all outstanding disciples of Taoism with strange abilities, and the three ghosts may not be easy to succeed, so please ask me to help.
The news that the three ghosts got was very accurate, and a group of Guigu disciples really came to the hidden capital. We ambushed the Guigu disciples outside the city. However, to our surprise, this group of Guigu disciples was completely vulnerable. Tea time has been killed by us. However, we have a bad feeling that this operation is about to go nowhere. Our suspicions were finally confirmed, and we searched more than a dozen corpses, but we didn't see any of the Martial Arts Classics at all. Later, I learned that the ghost valley faction was very cunning, and it had already been deduced that someone would take the scriptures halfway, so there were two light and dark teams to protect the scriptures, but no one knew the route of the dark team, and the three ghosts had to cry out in vain. However, the three ghosts are also trustworthy people, and they did not abandon me because they did not complete the task, but accompanied me for three whole days in Youdu to help me find Qiankun Jade. Of course, I didn't get anything. The three ghosts are all persistent people, and they will continue to look for the "Martial Scriptures", and they will not give up until they complete the task, and I have no interest in this, so I and the three ghosts are outside the hidden capital, cherish each other, and go our separate ways. ”
After listening to the story of the sniper, Concubine Xi and Nineteen were silent. Concubine Xi thought to herself, this sniper is really not a good person, and when it comes to partnering with others to kill people and sell goods, she has no guilt. Presumably, this sniper will not have a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, and Nineteen will learn from him, so don't be contaminated with his evil spirit.
Nineteen knew that his uncle was both good and evil, and his behavior was completely determined by his likes and dislikes. Therefore, there is no sense of surprise in the past of the Nineteen Snipers. Nineteen continued to ask:
"Since this ghost clan is so secretive, it must have no grudges with the Chu State, and it has nothing to do with me, so why did the three ghosts kill me?"
Sniper nodded and said, "That's a good question, this is the key to this matter." The three ghosts have always had a clear goal in doing things, and generally speaking, they will only make a move if it is related to the tasks given to them by the ghost clan. High-ranking officials will not let them be tempted. Therefore, there must be someone who understands their mission and knows how to contact them, so that they can be found and use them as bait to achieve the purpose of making them kill. ”
After hearing this, Concubine Xi hurriedly asked:
"Nineteen is safe and sound now, how can the three ghosts give up?"
