An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Seven years ago, Xiao Wen was not the feared assassin Rakshasa in the world.At that time, he was only a teenager, and he hadn't yet made his name as "Raksha".

Originally an orphan, he was picked up by the old Pavilion Master of the Shadow Pavilion and trained as an assassin. He experienced cruel selection since he was a child.To kill others among countless children and become the only one who survived is considered talent, luck, and ruthlessness.This is how the Shadow Chamber trains assassins.

The assassin fell into darkness and never saw the light of day.

He was discovered during a mission, and the opponent was a big shot. Although he succeeded in the assassination, he was hunted down by many people and fell off a cliff during the battle.

He thought he was going to die like this.

After waking up, he found that he was in a valley, and the wounds on his body were all carefully bandaged.

A girl in red walked into the room and glanced at him: "Drink the medicine when you wake up."

The girl was dressed in an exotic dress, with fiery red skirts and long braids, she was indescribably bright.

Xiao Wen was alert for an instant, and wanted to get his knife, but the bedside was empty.

"Your knife is on the table." The girl in red said, "If you put such a dangerous thing under your pillow, you won't be afraid to turn over and cut your head off."

Xiao Wen said coldly, "Give me the knife."

Assassins never leave their weapons.

To see his face is to be damned.

"Don't you Central Plains people pay attention to the kindness of dripping water and springing up the spring? You treat your savior like this." The girl snorted softly, "Your arm is broken, and you can't even lift a knife. Why, Still want to kill me?"

Xiao Wen: "..."

The girl asked again: "What's your name?"

"Xiao Wen." Xiao Wen regretted it as soon as he said it, his eyes were full of annoyance.How could he say his real name?

The girl nodded and turned around indifferently: "Got it."

Xiao Wen quickly asked: "You asked my name, shouldn't you also introduce yourself?"

The girl looked back at him and smiled slyly: "I won't tell you."

Xiao Wen: "..."

Don't say it, don't say it, as if he rarely knows.

Xiao Wen was chased all the way to kill him, and fell down a cliff again. His serious injuries will not recover if he does not take care of him for a few months.He lost his mobility, and the girl took care of him.

He had never been taken care of so meticulously, and no one had treated him so well.Xiao Wen never believed in being good for no reason, and he never let go of his guard.But no matter how coldly he treated each other, the girl didn't care, she just smiled and said: "If you ignore me again, I will put a lot of peppers in your meal at night, that's good, a lot, oh~"

Xiao Wen compromised aggrievedly.

The young girl was as passionate as a flame, and as bright as the scorching sun, almost burning the boy who grew up in the icy cold pool.

After a few days, Xiao Wen's attitude softened.

"I want to get paid." After Xiao Wen's injury was a little less serious, the girl took a book and sat down beside his bed, "I saved your life, you have to teach me how to read."

Xiao Wen was surprised: "You speak the Central Plains dialect very well."

"It's just what I hear and see, but I'm very smart." The girl smiled, "But I can't read yet. I will live in the Central Plains in the future, so I have to be illiterate."

Xiao Wen couldn't help asking: "Aren't you going back to your hometown?"

The girl's smile suddenly faded: "I hate it there, and I don't want to go back in this life."

Xiao Wen stopped the topic with interest.

The girl laughed again: "Will you teach me?"

Xiao Wen suddenly blushed a little: "...Okay."

Life flies by in the valley.The girl is very smart, Xiao Wen taught her carefully, and she made rapid progress.

Once, the girl pointed to a word in the book and asked, "A Xiao A Xiao, what does this word mean?"

Xiao Wen glanced at it, and suddenly his face exploded red.

That word is: Wushan Yunyu.

Xiao Wen thought about it for a long time, then hesitatingly said: "It's... the matter of the husband and wife Dun Lun."

"I know husband and wife, but what does Dun Lun mean?" the girl wondered, "Your vocabulary in the Central Plains is really extensive and profound."

Xiao Wen's face turned even redder: "It's just... the joy of men and women."

The girl got stuck for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully: "I know that. It's not uncomfortable at all. I hate this kind of thing the most..."

Xiao Wen asked nervously, "Have you ever done such a thing?"

"Ah?" The girl was stunned for a moment, "No. It just feels...it must be very uncomfortable."

Xiao Wen said cautiously: "What if it's with someone you like?"

He had actually realized that he probably... fell in love with this girl.

"Someone you like?" The girl hesitated for a moment, "I don't know. I haven't liked anyone before."

Xiao Wen was slightly disappointed.

"But if it's A Xiao," the girl rolled her eyes, "she will probably be happy."

Xiao Wen was taken aback, before he could understand the meaning of these words, the girl quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, why did you fall off the cliff?"

Xiao Wen choked, thinking that each of her questions was getting harder to answer.

"I killed someone, was discovered, and was hunted down again." He hesitated for a long time, but still didn't want to hide it from the other party.

"Why did you kill someone?" the girl asked curiously.

"Because... I am an assassin, and I can earn rewards for killing people."

"Assassin?" The girl suddenly became excited, "Can an assassin get a lot of money? Then I want to be one too."

Xiao Wen quickly dispelled the other party's idea: "Don't, not everyone can be an assassin, you have to walk on the edge of life and death every day."

"Don't underestimate me, I'm very powerful." The girl thought, "Besides, I don't know how to make money by myself..."

"It's not good enough." Xiao Wen said immediately, "If you are short of money, you can come to me. I am the Shadow Pavilion Rakshasa, and this is my token. I will use it as your proof."

After he finished speaking, he bowed his head, and added in a pretentious way: "... After all, you saved me, so I should give you money."

It's not because I like you.

The girl was so happy that she kissed him on the cheek: "A Xiao, you are so kind!"

Xiao Wen was sluggish on the spot, his heart pounding.

After another period of time, Xiao Wen was able to get out of bed and walk around, and went out of the house to enjoy the wind in the valley.

There is a forest in the valley, the breeze blows, and it is quiet and peaceful.That was their most peaceful time.

The girl walked backwards in front, and Xiao Wen followed slowly behind.There was unconcealable emotion in the young man's eyes.

Xiao Wen couldn't help but said: "It's been so long, should you tell me your name?"

The girl said: "I don't have a name from the Central Plains yet, how about..." She smiled brightly, "Choose one for me."

It was a quiet mountain forest. The girl he liked smiled at him and said, "You can get me one."

Xiao Wen's heart exploded into fireworks in that smile, he was stunned for a moment, and blurted out.

"Then call it... Lin Yan'er."

"Lin" is the place to meet, "Yan" is the place where the heart moves, and "Son" is the place where I want to call you more intimately.

Xiao Wen planned the future very well, and when he fully recovered, he took Yan'er out together.Yan'er was not familiar with the place of life, so he settled Yan'er by his side, and he would get the moon first if he was close to the water.

Besides, he thinks... Yan'er probably likes him a little bit.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

One day, Lin Yan'er looked serious and said in a low voice, "I think...she's coming."

Xiao Wen asked, "Who?"

Lin Yan'er shook her head and said, "It's fine."

Xiao Wen didn't take it to heart.

——That was the one thing he regretted the most in his life.

Because he didn't care this time, he looked for her for four years.

Lin Yan'er left without saying goodbye that night and never heard from her again.

Xiao Wen looked for her like crazy, but unfortunately there was no trace.

He was just an ordinary assassin in the Shadow Pavilion, and he couldn't mobilize his forces to find Lin Yan'er at all.He was the only one who couldn't find her at all.

This girl visited him like a dream for three months, and then woke up, she never appeared again.

In order to have enough influence to find her, Xiao Wen began to desperately accept the task.He picks up what others dare not pick up, the more dangerous the better, and doesn't even give himself time to breathe.Sometimes with injuries on his body, he started to take on the next task without stopping.

Shadow Pavilion killers are divided into three levels: earth kill, sky kill, and lore kill.As long as he kills enough people and is strong enough, his status in the Shadow Pavilion will rise in a straight line. After reaching the absolute kill, he will be eligible to compete for the next Pavilion Master.

He wanted the Shadow Pavilion, not for fame or profit, but just to find someone.

The name of Rakshasa appeared on the assassin ranking list, and quickly jumped from tenth to second, becoming a recognized model worker in the assassin world.

He was on the verge of death countless times, and when his consciousness was hazy, a mysterious person would always appear.He couldn't see the man's face clearly, but when he woke up, the wounds on his body would be healed.

who's that person?

Xiao Wen didn't know.

When Xiao Wen was 22 years old, he accepted the task of assassinating King Qin.

At that time, there were four assassins in the Shadow Pavilion. The old pavilion master called them together and said: "The name of King Qin is well known in the world, and all the assassins have gone and never returned. I don't ask you to kill him, as long as you can get rid of him." If he comes back alive, he will be the next Pavilion Master."

...In the end, only Luo Sha came back from the four lore kills.

The price is serious injury.

He was poisoned by an intractable poison, his life was hanging by a thread, and he felt that he was going to die.

At this time, the mysterious man appeared again.

She fed him a medicine, turned around and left.

Xiao Wen tried his best to stay awake this time: "Stop!"

The mysterious man paused.

"...You are Yan'er, right?" Xiao Wen asked, "Every time you used to save me, it was you, right?"

The mysterious man was quiet and was about to leave.

"Yan'er, don't leave..." Xiao Wen whispered, "I've been looking for you for four years."

The man froze for a long time, turned around helplessly, and took off the hood on his head.

It was Lin Yan'er's beautiful and moving face.

She came over, knelt down and sighed softly: "Ah Xiao..."

Xiao Wen pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, then fell into a coma.

When he woke up, there was no one in the house, he was flustered for a moment, he opened the quilt and wanted to find someone: "Yan'er!"

Lin Yan'er entered the room with the medicine in her hand, and when she saw him get off the bed, she frowned: "What are you doing? Lay back."

"Drink the medicine when you wake up." Lin Yan'er put the medicine bowl on the bedside.

This sentence is exactly the same as it was four years ago.

Xiao Wen looked at Lin Yan'er in disbelief: "Yan'er..."

Lin Yan'er turned her head away: "Look at me, drink medicine!"

Xiao Wen just looked at her: "Will you go this time?"

Lin Yan'er was silent for a while: "I can't appear often."

Xiao Wen didn't understand what this meant, so he asked: "Why did you leave suddenly back then?"

Lin Yan'er didn't want to answer this question: "Don't ask."

"Okay, I won't ask." Xiao Wenxi said, "But you don't want to leave this time, okay?"

Lin Yan'er struggled for a moment, then nodded slightly.

……

They clearly love each other.

Although Lin Yan'er didn't say it, Xiao Wen could tell.

This realization made him extremely happy.

They lived happily for another three months. During that time, he didn't accept any assignments, and his laziness was very different from the hard work he used to do.The outside world guessed that he was dead or was recuperating from his injuries. Only he knew that he had found his beloved, and of course he would not want to waste time on other things.

On the last day, Lin Yan'er suddenly took the book that she used to recognize characters back then, and turned to the page "Wushan Yunyu", and said half shyly and half anxiously: "Ah Xiao, I want to do this with you." thing."

"Cough cough cough!" Xiao Wen coughed earth-shatteringly.

But how could he refuse.That was the girl he had been looking for for four years.

So it was a matter of course.

When Xiao Wen woke up the next day, he saw the girl in his arms, showing a silly and happy smile.

After he made up his mind, he would marry Yan'er and treat her well for the rest of his life.

But when the woman on the bed woke up, the first time she saw him, she raised her eyebrows: "Huh? Where did you come from, Mr. Wang, he looks really top-notch."

Xiao Wen thought she was joking, and responded with a smile: "My lady praises you."

"Pfft, who is your wife? Not my slave." Lin Yan'er looked down at the marks on her body for a moment, slightly surprised, "It's already...Damn it, I don't remember it at all."

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

She lazily got out of bed, and said with a charming smile: "Lang Jun's appearance is good, it makes me want to taste it again. It's a pity that I don't want to turn back. I'm going to find the next one."

Xiao Wen's smile faded: "What do you mean?"

"Didn't my family tell you before?" Lin Yan'er was puzzled, "Every time before going to bed with a man, my family explained that it was just this one time, and they would not bother each other afterwards. Don't you forget?"

Xiao Wen was stunned.

Every time you sleep with a man?

Just this time, no entanglement?

……What's the meaning?

But Lin Yan'er would not explain his doubts.

After that, Xiao Wen persisted in chasing Lin Yan'er for three years.

He heard that Lin Yan'er was a promiscuous witch among the people in the world, and she couldn't live without a man.I heard that she turned her face ruthlessly and never turned back.I heard that many men coveted Lin Yan'er's beauty, trying to taste this capable bitch in vain.

not like this.The Yan'er he knew was not like this.

"I suspect that the current Yan'er...is not Yan'er."

Drunk-eyed Xiao Wen raised his head and said these words with tears in his eyes.

"In the past, whenever I was on the verge of death, Yan'er, whom I loved, would appear... But later, when I injured myself to the point of being seriously injured, she would never appear again."

"It's not that I didn't notice the poisonous snake in the forest, I just ignored it on purpose. Sure enough, seeing my life hanging by a thread, my Yan'er appeared!" Xiao Wen's eyes lit up, then dimmed again in a blink of an eye, "But she It disappeared soon... How dare I believe it? How can there be such a thing as one body and two souls in the world, but now Yan'er, I really... really don't know her."

After listening to the narration calmly, Wei Lian poured a glass of wine and handed it to Xiao Wen.

Xiao Wen took it directly and drank it in one gulp.

Wei Lian said: "You are drunk, sleep well."

Xiao Wen obediently closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

Wei Lian glanced at him, turned and left.

The last glass of wine was topped up, and when Xiao Wen wakes up tomorrow, he will only remember that he was sad and overdrunk, not what he said.

After turning Luo Sha's past upside down, Wei Lian went back to the next door and said, "There are clues."

Ji Yue raised his head: "Huh?"

"He told a story." Wei Lian said, "I'll tell you."

That night, Wei Lian once asked Ji Yue: "Luo Sha is the master of the Shadow Pavilion, how can there be no wound medicine for ordinary injuries, and it is worth Lin Yan'er to send it specially? How did you hurt him back then? If you knew that Lin Yan'er sent him What kind of medicine, maybe I can guess a little bit of her origin."

Ji Yue said, "He was poisoned."

"Ah Lian is very skilled in medicine, but I used to feed you...cough, when you used the poison, you didn't develop an antidote, did you?" Ji Yue showed embarrassment when he said this, and he just wanted to go back to the past and beat himself to death a meal.

Wei Lian said: "Yes. I also want to ask, where did you get these strange poisons?"

With Wei Lian's medical skills and poison skills, there are few poisons in the world that can hardly get him.Pian Jiyue used one of them, but he couldn't distinguish all the medicinal materials.

"Ah Lian probably knows everything about medicinal materials in the world." Ji Yue said, "But not necessarily outside the world."

It's another world.

"Ah Lian's master has not looked old for many years, so he must be an outsider. But I was not shocked when I saw it." Ji Yue said.

Wei Lian thought about it carefully, and it was true.

He told Ji Yue that he met the master when he was young, and the master was already a young man at that time.More than ten years later, the master is still the same as before, and the passage of time does not affect him in the slightest. When Ji Yue saw him for the first time, he was not at all surprised.

"Among the ancestors of the Qin State, some people sent people to the fairy mountains on the sea in order to seek the elixir of immortality." Ji Yue said, "I didn't find the elixir medicine, but I picked some fairy grass. These herbs are extraordinary. Some can prolong life, some are made into chronic poisons and used to control the hidden guards. There are also some, one can kill, and the world's detoxification pills can't work. If you want to solve it, you must also use other world's elixir."

"No one can live in this world after assassinating me. Death is only a matter of time." Ji Yue said indifferently, "Raksha has been poisoned, even if he escapes for a while, he will die of poison after returning."

"But he survived." Wei Lian said, "and has been immune to all poisons since then."

"He should have died without a doubt." Wei Lian murmured softly, looked at Ji Yue, and suddenly said in unison.

"Unless there is another Resurrection Pill in the world."
