Assassin A
Chapter 17
From an assassin in the Xuanji Camp to a bodyguard of Qingnan Palace suddenly, this reversal of identity made Shiwu spend some time thinking about what to do in the future.
Master Li didn't give any instructions very rudely this time, not even a look or a movement.Fifteen, who has lived for 22 years, is at a loss for the first time. There is no order, no assassination, no need to spy... Could it be that the Lord sincerely asked him to protect King Qingnan literally?
Master Li did another even more insane thing this time!
He himself was suspicious and refused to live in the palace, so he said the sentence: "Fifteen, you are good to protect the prince." Then he walked away, leaving assassin A and Pu Shao staring at him.
good!Being a bodyguard is all about protection, isn't it?Isn't it just the dark guard changing to the bright guard?At least I don't have to mess around anymore, this is a little luck in misfortune, right?
So, after Mr. Li "abandoned" him, and after King Qingnan didn't even throw him a glance, Shiwu firmly followed behind Pu Shao.Head of the bodyguard!You cannot escape.
During dinner time, Shiwu consciously followed a group of palace guards to their usual eating place.
There are long tables, wooden chairs, and bowls and chopsticks on the table.But soon, the former assassin discovered that the chairs and chopsticks were all based on the head.In other words, there is no place for him, and no one for him to eat.
Pu Shao didn't even glance at him, and sat straight at the end of the long table. The other guards also pretended that he didn't exist, took their bowls and chopsticks, and served rice from the rice bowl on the table.
This quiet atmosphere is very similar to Xuanji Camp. Fifteen, who has been confused all day, finally found a little "home".
Pu Shao didn't look straight at his good brother "Da Niu" who he had been thinking of, but he kept aiming at him from the corner of his eye.Especially by picking up a dish, eating a meal, the eyelids fluttered like a cramp.
I saw Shiwu standing alone for a while, his dark eyes seemed to take in every corner of the room, his nose sniffed, like a wild beast trampling on the ground.Then, this guy grabbed a young boy and said, "Brother, please help me move a stool, and it would be even better if I could buy another pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Pu Shao is angry.This person is out of sight!
The guards already knew the origin of Shiwu, but the servants in the mansion didn't know it yet, and those servants saw that he had a saber on his waist and was dressed in a guard outfit, and they all bowed down and gave him what he wanted. .
Pu Shao couldn't yell clearly: He is not from Qingnan Palace!After all, my prince "smiled" this liar... Good!Ann Daniu!No, Assassin Fifteen, let's wait and see, I want to see what tricks you have this time?
In fact, the head guard really guessed wrong, Shiwu didn't play tricks.He just waited for the stools and bowls and chopsticks to come, and said to a bodyguard who was scrambling to pull the rice: "Big brothers, please squeeze and give me a seat."
The guard never expected that the newcomer would be so thick-skinned, he was stunned, he just turned his head to look at Pu Shao, "Boss..."
The leader pretended not to see, lowered his head and stuffed the rice.
Fifteen smiled slightly, and said, "Then, I offended you." He raised his foot and kicked the stool, and the bodyguard moved half a foot to the left along with the "mount" under his buttocks.
He repeated the same trick, and said to the stunned guard B on the other side: "I offended you." Another kick, the translation remained the same.Then I watched him calmly move the stool behind him into the vacated space, take a bowl of rice, and start eating.
Pu Shao wanted to flip the table!
Unfortunately, the head guard's nightmare is far from over.
After the meal, he found that he had an extra follower, wherever he went, Fifteen would follow him.Even when he went to the toilet, someone followed him.
Pu Shao stared at him, Shiwu didn't care about him, he let out the water leisurely, and said: "Brother Shao, holding it in is not good for your health, you have been pinching your little brother for a long time."
In fact, Fifteen would like to add another sentence: Do you need me to whistle for you?
But he knows very well that this joke can be played with the first day of the junior high school, and with the thirty-year-old, but it is not yet the time for him to play with Pu Shao...
Fortunately, he didn't say anything, because the next moment the head of the guards, who was furious, grabbed his neck and shook him: "Don't be ignorant! The prince is keeping you in the mansion because of business, and I will definitely find you after this matter is over." Do the math!"
Fifteen weighed it.
With Pu Shao's current posture, if he uses his hands to separate his muscles and bones, he can easily pick off his shoulder and dislocate him, but...it seems that it will be more difficult for everyone to get along with each other in the future.Forget it, let him pinch it, and it won't kill him anyway.
It's a pity that his retreat is simply a humiliation in the eyes of the head guard!
This neither salty nor pale face, very indifferent demeanor, damn it!If he wasn't thinking...or just relying on his thin neck, it wouldn't be a problem to twist it off!
So, after the first physical conflict, Pu Shao decided to ignore Fifteen.
However, the people in Xuanji Camp are best at tracking and chasing them.Not to mention, the mere Qingnan Prince's Mansion had already been familiar with the terrain by Fifteen half a year ago.
into the night.
After Pu Shao arranged the guards on patrol, he dragged his exhausted body back to the dormitory. As usual, he inspected the room where the guards lived.As a result, he suddenly found that in a certain room with an empty bed, Fifteen was sleeping soundly with a rolled sheet, and the bed was also fully covered.
The anger that had been suppressed for a day broke out, and he yelled, "How courageous!"
Then, guards A, B, and C, who woke up in the same room, watched helplessly as their leader kicked towards the assassin of the Xuanji camp, and then flew back sideways in the next moment, and fell heavily to the ground.
Shiwu rubbed his eyes: "Brother Shao, I don't care about my hands when I sleep, you should think about tricking tomorrow." Then she wrapped herself in a sheet and turned over and fell asleep again.
The three terrified little guards hurried to the ground to support their leader, flustered.
Fifteen, who was facing the wall, smiled quietly when no one saw it.
It was expected that Pu Shao would come to sneak attack!
Hmph, sure enough, it's a new place, and it's serious to show off your prestige.
It's a really good trick for him.When I got up the next day and had breakfast, everyone hid far away.
Fifteen is very satisfied that his dining place has become more spacious, and he is even more satisfied that no one is robbing him of the large basket full of sesame seed cakes in front of him.Qingnan Palace is really a good place.
However, he overlooked one person.
Pu Shao is a straightforward guy who is easy to deal with, but King Qingnan is a figure that even Mr. Li has a headache.
Sure enough, on the fifteenth day, when he planned to spend a pleasant day by harassing Pu Shao, the prince ordered someone to send two sets of uniforms for the palace guards, as well as an order.
move.
A young man respectfully invited him to another small courtyard with the bedding he was going to come last night.
Fifteen stood around the courtyard and looked around. This courtyard was much stronger than the guard's dormitory.The house hanging on the top of the mountain is spacious and bright. There are many bamboos in the courtyard, and there is a living spring. There are no other flowers and plants, so it is quite quiet.
The servant opened the door graciously, "You live in the one on the west side."
Yo, or a single room?Fifteen felt that inexplicable preferential treatment was usually followed by conspiracy and traps.
"Who lives on the east side?"
The servant was a little troubled: "Yes...he is the prince's guest. You know him too, Mr. Shen."
Shen Yufeng?
Fifteen is in no hurry to visit his neighbors.He was just very surprised. According to the conversation between Mr. Li and King Qingnan, the crown prince has already repaired with the palace.Regardless of whether they are good or bad, it's just for the sake of face, and there shouldn't be "Daxia Shen" here.
Could it be that Shen Yufeng became an outcast because he broke his tendon and became a cripple?Someone who is a professional assassin can only think of this level, after all, this kind of thing is most common in the Xuanji camp.
It's just that they call this "retirement", just like Fourth Brother and Sister Hong.However, the camp will also give a salary every month, which is better than the prince's assassin in this respect.
At the very least, Master Li absolutely does not allow any of his own people to fall into the hands of the enemy to be slaughtered.
Fifteen changed into new clothes and followed the boy out of the room, standing at the courtyard door and suddenly smiled.There are only two people in this courtyard, one is the prince's assassin, and the other is the Xuanji Camp assassin, so it should be called the Assassin Academy, otherwise... the Xuanji Camp semicolon is fine.
It's a pity to meet a guy like Shiwu who has a different mind than ordinary people, and it's a pity that Rong Min, a smart person, made explicit hints.
An embarrassing identity, an embarrassing residence, an attitude of fear or contempt from the whole family, being casually thrown out by his master just to show favor... If it were someone else, I'm afraid I'm not sure what to do~ But a certain assassin completely Don't take it seriously.For him, there is food to eat, a bed to sleep in, work to do, and three or four idiots to flirt with... It's a beautiful life.
This, I'm afraid King Qingnan didn't expect it?Therefore, when he saw that Assassin A who had tricked him wandered around leisurely every day, eating well and sleeping well, Rong Min also became depressed.
Day after day passed, and under Fifteen's silent offensive of "If you don't arrange work for me, I will harass you every day", Pu Shao quickly disarmed.Anyway, he was sent to be a guard, so let him be!
In addition to night watch, a name in red pen has been added to the guard list during the day: Fifteen.
Therefore, when Li Zan had the cooperation of King Qingnan to obtain evidence all the way was very smooth, on the ninth day after the fifteenth sacrifice was released, everything that should be investigated and arrested was handled quickly.Master Li appeared in the palace again, and he saw his assassin standing on the porch pretending to be a pillar at a glance.
On the night when Fifteen was exposed, Li Zan regretted it a bit.He must have overlooked something. King Qingnan's reaction was too weird, and that attitude of being excited and gnashing his teeth made him very worried.
However, it was the emperor's order for those who stayed in the Xuanji camp to protect the southern feudal vassal, and it is even more to blame for the loud rumors that "you can hide from the first day but not the fifteenth". The name fifteen was hand-picked, and there is nothing he can do .
His mediocre emperor brother has always heard that wind is rain, and his ears are extremely soft.Apart from being good at playing with flowers and plants and pruning potted plants, he doesn't know anything about state affairs, but he is also absent-minded.
so!Only in the middle of the court can the Liu family dominate.
Li Zan knew that he couldn't beat Liu Shi by himself.The emperor's elder brother has Empress Liu blowing the pillow breeze in the harem, and Liu Taifu encourages him in the court, not to mention Liu Shimian's countless disciples in the court!
Having cut off Liu's influence in the Ministry of Industry earlier, this old bastard was already very vigilant. Fortunately, this time he successfully lobbied and went south in person to investigate the hijacking of tea tax bank and secretly collect evidence and collect tea envoys for corruption.
To deal with Mrs. Liu, you have to take it step by step, Li Zan, very patient.
Rong Min has always been very resistant to this King Geng who is far away in the capital.Although most of what Li Zan did benefited the people, the way he acted was very shameless.
Today Li Zan finally asked for the interrogation of several peasant leaders who rioted and rebelled. The attitude of casually going through the motions is obvious.Rong Min knew that this was a "business" for him, and he just dealt with the duties of the imperial envoys, so he should be happy that the people sent by the court didn't look into it carefully.However, with this virtue, anyone who looks at it will inevitably be disturbed.
"I don't know how King Geng plans to deal with this matter?"
Li Zan was sitting in the upper position, sipping the tea elegantly, with a glance at the corner of his eyes, he put on a smirk: "Since the prince has caught the leader of the thief, and the silver has been recovered, this matter is over. Let the leader be beheaded." , I can explain what I have when I return to Beijing."
Rong Min smiled, and said leisurely, "I've already been punished severely."
Li sighed: "My lord, don't joke, what a crime is it to rob tax money? Just beheading the thief's head is my emperor's kindness. I know that my lord loves the people like a son, but I'm afraid that protecting my shortcomings for a while will lead to catastrophe. So what if you cut it all?"
Fifteen's ears twitched, and he turned his head outside the door to look in, only to see the young man serving tea behind Master Li trembling slightly with a tray.How could the thin porcelain clashing sound escape his ears?
Squinting his eyes, he observed the man's expression carefully, but the boy lowered his head helplessly.Turning his eyes, he took out a crispy bean from his bosom and shot it at Pu Shao who was standing inside.
The head of the guard who was standing upright got hit on the forehead suddenly, and immediately glared at his attacker.
The boy at Shiwu Chong winked and made a "catch" motion.
Pu Shao blinked.
Do it again: Catch!
Pu Shao continued to blink.
Fifteen rolled his eyes!Forget it, it's normal for this guy not to understand Xuanjiying's hand gestures. Since we want to work together in the future, it's better to find an opportunity to teach him.
Suddenly remembered that when I pretended to be stupid and didn't understand Pu Shao's eyes, this guy must be in the same state of mind, right?Awake!Almost let him cheat!Even if he doesn't understand Xuanjiying's hand gestures, how can he be the head of the guards without such acumen?Come play dumb with me too, right? !
Looking at it again, it turns out that Pu Shao's brows and eyes are a little smug.When he had had enough, the head guard yelled at the boy: "Hey! How are you shaking?"
Shiwu really wanted to stab Pu Shao to death.Just go catch it, and call it a fart?Scared the snake?Are you afraid that the other party will not know that you have seen him show his feet?
The boy was still shaking non-stop, and put down the tea tray tremblingly.Just when Li Zan, Rong Min and everyone in the room were puzzled, the man suddenly pulled out a dagger from his arms and rushed towards Li Zan.
Pu Shao never expected that this young man moved so fast, it was too late for him to stop him.This person is by no means an ordinary person!assassin? !Subconsciously turned to look at Shiwu outside the door, but there was no one else outside the door?
The boy put a dagger on Li Zan's neck, "Don't kill Brother Jin!"
Li Zan didn't panic at all, instead he was relaxed: "Oh? Why?"
"Brother Jin is a good man! He saw the hardships of life in our folks, so he thought of robbing us. You corrupt officials from the capital want to plunder our peasants' money, and you won't even give us a way to survive. If you don't let Brother Jin go today , let's exchange one life for another, our lives are no more cheap than the prince's golden branches and jade leaves, it's worth it!"
The boy was emotional, the dagger had already drawn a bloodstain on Li Zan's neck, the guards inside and outside the house did not dare to move rashly, even Rong Min was shocked by this shock and lost his mind for a moment.
If Li Zan died on his territory, it would just give the emperor an excuse to cut down the domain!Not to mention, although Li Zan is cunning and insidious, he is the nemesis of corrupt officials in the court...
At this moment, a pair of hands came out from behind the young man silently, without waiting for anyone to see clearly, just heard "click!", the young man wailed suddenly, and knelt down with his right hand in his arms on the ground.
As he fell down, everyone saw that the person behind him turned out to be Shiwu who had been guarding the door.
Fifteen moved very quickly, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and stuffed it into the boy's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide, he pulled him up by the collar, pressed his hands on his shoulders, and there was a sound of dislocation of bones.
The boy's arms were hanging by his side as if they were broken, he whimpered in vain, his eyes were red, he was kicked by Shiwu in the hollow of his leg, and immediately fell to his knees.
Fifteen knelt down on one knee, "Your subordinate is late, please punish me!"
Li Zan stretched out his fingers to wipe off a drop of blood on his neck, and smiled slightly: "You are the bodyguard of King Qingnan now, how can I punish you?" Looking at the blood drop on his fingertips, he suddenly stuck out his tongue and rolled it into his mouth.
"Rong Min, take me to meet that thief!"
Master Li didn't give any instructions very rudely this time, not even a look or a movement.Fifteen, who has lived for 22 years, is at a loss for the first time. There is no order, no assassination, no need to spy... Could it be that the Lord sincerely asked him to protect King Qingnan literally?

If Li Zan died on his territory, it would just give the emperor an excuse to cut down the domain!Not to mention, although Li Zan is cunning and insidious, he is the nemesis of corrupt officials in the court...
At this moment, a pair of hands came out from behind the young man silently, without waiting for anyone to see clearly, just heard "click!", the young man wailed suddenly, and knelt down with his right hand in his arms on the ground.
As he fell down, everyone saw that the person behind him turned out to be Shiwu who had been guarding the door.
Fifteen moved very quickly, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and stuffed it into the boy's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide, he pulled him up by the collar, pressed his hands on his shoulders, and there was a sound of dislocation of bones.
The boy's arms were hanging by his side as if they were broken, he whimpered in vain, his eyes were red, he was kicked by Shiwu in the hollow of his leg, and immediately fell to his knees.
Fifteen knelt down on one knee, "Your subordinate is late, please punish me!"
Li Zan stretched out his fingers to wipe off a drop of blood on his neck, and smiled slightly: "You are the bodyguard of King Qingnan now, how can I punish you?" Looking at the blood drop on his fingertips, he suddenly stuck out his tongue and rolled it into his mouth.
"Rong Min, take me to meet that thief!"
