Chapter XVII. Carrying out the task
The white waterfall pours down, and the sound of the water roars like a thousand horses galloping.
The waterfall hits the ground to form a deep pool of about 100 feet, and then the water rolls down to form a small river.
The river meanders down into Tianyue Lake.
One of them was running around by the river with a whining of excitement, as fast as his butt was on fire.
This person is Zhang Yunfei, who is practicing the wind footwork.
Of course, his "fastness" at this time was only relative to before, because his true qi was too weak to exert the effect of the Wind Walk. The wind walks to the extreme, walks like the wind, is as fast as thunder, and people are like phantoms.
But he felt good about himself, stopped and clenched his fists at the riverside and shouted: "Work hard! Struggle! I want to be the fastest man in the world!"
(Amount...... The Fastest Man...... )
Relatively nameless mantra that is not used by birds, it is obvious that this wind footwork is more to his taste, and it is simply an escape technique.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yunfei has been in the Moon Shadow Palace for a year and a half.
In the past year and a half, Zhang Yunfei has only met Ye Jueqing three times, including the two times when he first came to the Moon Shadow Palace and "met in a dream". The third time was half a year ago, when Zhang Yunfei was practicing the nameless mantra, and Ye Jueqing suddenly appeared behind him like a ghost. Fortunately, Zhang Yunfei was aware in advance, otherwise he would have been scared half to death. At this time, Zhang Yunfei had already practiced the nameless mantra to the sixth layer, Ye Jueqing looked at his progress, seemed to be quite satisfied, and told him to practice to the eighth layer within half a year.
Half a year later, Zhang Yunfei really practiced to the eighth layer. But although he has practiced to the eighth level, Zhang Yunfei still doesn't know what this mantra is for, except for eating a little more well, sleeping a little better, hearing a little more clearly, seeing a little farther, remembering a little better, and urinating a little farther. If it weren't for the fact that the whole person's complexion seemed to be good, and he became a lot more handsome, he wouldn't be too lazy to continue practicing.
The Moon Shadow Palace also did not restrict his freedom, allowing him to move around as he pleased. He had also thought about going down the mountain to wander, only to find that the Moon Shadow Palace was built entirely on top of four relatively isolated giant peaks. The four giant peaks are surrounded by Tianyue Lake. There is no mountain road to go down, only a few iron cables connected to the vast white mist, and I don't know where it leads.
Once, he saw three female sisters flying up from the iron rope, and their bodies seemed to be injured and bloodied. He wanted to say hello, but the other party ignored him and flew away. He also tried to climb down the iron cable, but after climbing ten meters, he was frightened by the whirring wind and the fog in the sky, and quickly climbed back again. He's not a bird, and if he falls, he doesn't know what he's going to do.
In fact, the life here is much better than that of Yihong Courtyard, there is no need to pick up dung, no need to look at anyone's face, and Xiao Zhao will serve you when you eat. There are also a large number of loyal fans of beautiful women who often run to listen to him. Since Lu Rushuang told him the mantra of the Wind Footwork, he has never come to him, trained him, or abused him, which made him miss him a little.
That's why this man is sometimes cheap!
There is only one problem, he is nineteen years old, he is just strong in blood and blood, hormones are vigorous, and he wakes up every day with a pillar of optimism! (Men understand) Fortunately, this is just a natural physiological reaction, and it has not triggered the ruthless and desireless curse, but he can't even hit the. Therefore, it is necessary to recite the heart mantra several times every morning in order to suppress the most primitive desire of the body.
Other than that, life here is simply impeccable.
Sometimes he still feels a little guilty, and it seems unreasonable not to kill a few people to subsidize it when he eats and drinks for nothing every day.
However, he soon took it for granted, who told Ye Jueqing, the mother-in-law, to fall into the ruthless and desireless curse for herself, and regarded it as compensation.
But what should come will come.
He was lying on the edge of the waterhole resting with a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and Lu Rushuang, who he hadn't seen for nearly half a year, came to him and asked him to carry out an assassination mission!
Lu Rushuang handed him a note with all the information about the target he was going to assassinate this time.
The target is Lei Songde, fifty years old, eight feet tall, weighing one hundred and sixty pounds, and looks quite majestic. He lives in Qingping County and is a local rice merchant who has a big business. Life is very regular. knows martial arts, and is also a master. There are two personal attendants, ostensibly ordinary attendants, but in fact they are bodyguards with strong martial arts.
The difficulty of this mission is the lowest level of Black Iron, and you need to complete ten Black Iron level missions to reach the Bronze level.
......
Before setting off for the mission, Zhang Yunfei said a little goodbye to Xiao Zhao and promised to bring some small gifts back to her, which made Xiao Zhao very happy.
Lu Rushuang took Zhang Yunfei and flew down the iron cable.
The wind was whistling, the fog was vast, and Zhang Yunfei's little heart was thumping.
This was the first time he had left the palace and descended the mountain in a year and a half since he went to the Moon Shadow Palace, so he was naturally a little excited. But there was also apprehension that this was the first time he was going to kill someone.
After falling to the ground, Lu Rushuang took out a token and threw it to Zhang Yunfei.
"There is a horse farm after the descent, and with this token you can get a horse to help you on your way. ”
Zhang Yunfei took the token and found that it was very similar to the one he took out on Ye Jueqing's body in the cave, but the material was different. This piece is obviously made of pig iron, and Ye Jueqing doesn't know what material it is made of, but it is definitely much more expensive than this piece.
"Are there any more questions?" Lu Rushuang finally asked.
"Is it okay not to go?" asked Zhang Yunfei.
"No!" Lu Rushuang suddenly pinched Zhang Yunfei's mouth and stuffed a pill, and then slapped his palm on his chest. Zhang Yunfei swallowed the pill into his stomach with a grunt.
"Wow, what did you feed me?" Zhang Yunfei asked, clutching his throat.
"Spring Pill!" Lu Rushuang said.
"What is this?" Zhang Yunfei heard of this spring pill for the first time, "It won't be...... Aphrodisiac bar!"
Lu Rushuang nodded, "But it has an incubation period, and it will only attack after a month!"
"I'm functioning so well that I don't need to take aphrodisiacs. Zhang Yunfei said with a grin.
"You have to complete the task within a month. Remember, it's a month! If you can't complete the task, you won't get the antidote to the Spring Color Pill, and the Spring Color Pill will trigger the Ruthless Desireless Curse, hmph, you know the result. Lu Rushuang sneered, "Every mission that the Moon Shadow Palace takes is only allowed to succeed, not to fail!"
"Wow, do you want to be so vicious?" Zhang Yunfei couldn't laugh anymore.
Lu Rushuang no longer ignored him, but flew up and disappeared into the mist, and floated a sentence in the air: "Complete the task, come back here, naturally someone will pick you up!"
Zhang Yunfei reached out and put it in his throat, wanting to spit out the Spring Color Pill, but only spit out some bitter water. Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to leave the Moon Shadow Palace and find another way to lift the Ruthless Desireless Curse, but now it seemed completely hopeless.
Zhang Yunfei threw the token, followed the route of the drawing, walked down the mountain, and went straight to Qingping County.
A month's time, whether it is long or not, is just enough for the moon to reincarnate for a profit and loss, and it is also enough for Zhang Yunfei to create the right time and place to kill Lei Songde while waiting.
The only thing that is lacking is people.
The lack of people in this assassination operation mainly came from Zhang Yunfei himself.
Zhang Yunfei easily blended into the Lei Mansion as a handyman. But slowly, Zhang Yunfei's killing intent was shaken. Because he found that Lei Songde was a great benevolent person, he was kind and generous, and distributed free rice to the poor people in his rice shop every day, and his reputation was excellent. Although he has a lot of money and a lot of money, he has no frame at all, and he is extremely kind to his subordinates. Once, a subordinate accidentally fell and broke the bowl in front of him, not only did he not punish him, but he also took the initiative to help the subordinate and asked the subordinate with concern if he was injured. Rich men all have wives and concubines in groups and live a bad life, but he only married one original wife, the husband and wife have a very good relationship and affection, and have a pair of children under their knees, son Renault is eight years old, daughter Lei Ling is six years old, and the family is well-educated, all well-behaved and sensible.
Originally, in order to gain Lei Songde's trust, Zhang Yunfei started with his daughter Lei Ling and made a small flying bird out of wood for Lei Ling. Lei Ling couldn't put it down, and he sweetly called him Brother Yunfei every day when they met. The two even became good friends. Zhang Yunfei often talked to Lei Ling about gonzo in the mountains, forgetting his own miscellaneous work. Lei Songde did not blame when he saw it, but thanked Zhang Yunfei for being able to bring happiness to Lei Ling.
Zhang Yunfei really couldn't find a reason to kill Lei Songde!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, there are only five days left in a month.
Zhang Yunfei had two great opportunities to make a move, but gave up on both of them.
He finally understood why the Assassins were ruthless and desireless!
On the penultimate day, a new girl came to Lei Mansion, and Zhang Yunfei felt very familiar when he saw her figure, but he just couldn't remember who it was.
On the last day, a woman's cry came from the Lei Mansion, which was heartbreaking, and Lei Songde and his two children were poisoned to death!
The Lei Mansion was in a mess, but the new maid left quietly.
Zhang Yunfei finally knew that this girl ring must be a person from the Moon Shadow Palace, and he chased after him all the way with grief and indignation. But no matter how fast he was, Yahuan always kept a fixed distance from him.
The two came to the uninhabited woods outside Qingping County one after another, and Yahuan finally stopped.
"Why are you doing this!" Zhang Yunfei yelled out of breath.
Yahuan wiped her face with her hand, revealing her true face, and it was Lu Rushuang.
"I'm just completing my mission, and helping you complete it!" Lu Rushuang's tone was as calm as water.
Obviously, the target of this assassination is not only Lei Songde, but also his two children.
"They're just two kids," Zhang Yunfei continued to yell.
"So what?" Lu Rushuang stared at him coldly.
"You still have no humanity!" Zhang Yunfei was almost exhausted. When the Axe Gang Supreme Jade and the others died, he could be indifferent, after all, they were innocent of death. But Lei Songde's death really hit him a bit big.
"Human nature? Do you think what you see is the truth? Do you know what Lei Songde's original identity is? Lei Mad Dog, one of the ten evil criminals, do you know how much blood is stained on his hands? Do you know who gave the reward order?" Lu Rushuang asked a series of rhetorical questions.
Zhang Yunfei was instantly speechless by the question.
"It's the enemy who was almost wiped out by him! A family of thirteen, only one woman was left who was almost mentally broken! This is a cycle of cause and effect, and evil will be rewarded!" Lu Rushuang was also angry at this time, as if she wanted to slap Zhang Yunfei.
"Even so, his children are innocent!" Zhang Yunfei muttered. He never expected Lei Songde to have such an identity behind him. But he still couldn't accept Lei Ling's death, what a cute little girl!
"I'm sorry, I'm just an assassin!" Lu Rushuang's tone also calmed down, but it was still the same ruthless, "I told you, as an assassin, you can't have any feelings!"
"Fuck the assassin, I'm not going to do it!" Zhang Yunfei took out the token and smashed it on the ground, turned around and walked back.
Lu Rushuang's figure flickered, and instantly appeared behind Zhang Yunfei, slashing at the back of his head with a palm. Zhang Yunfei fell in response.
"Do you think that the profession of an assassin is so easy to enter and so easy to resign?" Lu Rushuang looked at Zhang Yunfei who had fainted, put his fingers between his lips, and whistled sharply.
A black steed galloped along.
Lu Rushuang threw Zhang Yunfei on the horse's back, and he also stepped on the horse's back and rode away.
The horse's hooves kicked up dust, and a man flashed out from behind the woods and looked at Zhang Yunfei on horseback. At this moment, Lu Rushuang and Zhang Yunfei had a layer of crystal white light in their eyes.
The man sneered weirdly and spit out three words: Great Xuan Jing!
Then he looked up to the sky and sighed: Ye Qingqing, I finally found you.
