Assassin A

After meeting Mu Zigui, Rong Min changed his itinerary and took people back to the palace directly.

Along the way, the "hero" from Xizuilou kept pestering Shiwu with questions.Although he successfully blocked fifteen hidden weapons in the wine shop, he was very surprised by the tricky angle.If it wasn't for his quick response, he would have become a corpse lying on the ground by now.

"Which expert is your master? Why have you never seen such a technique of throwing hidden weapons?"

I think one of their famous stunts in Xizuilou is concealed weapons, and Mu Zigui is also a master of it, but he only became a master of swordsmanship after he got a set of peerless sword manuals by chance.

"Summer fans."

"Shrimp rice?"

Fifteen slowly turned his head, his eyes were dark like two black clouds, and he paused every word: "Xia, confused. Summer's, Xia, confused, confused."

Mu Zigui mobilized all his brains and thought for a while, "Oh~~ I have long admired you."

Fifteen was still expressionless: "Master has never traveled the rivers and lakes, where did you go to look up to him?"

Mu Zigui calmly said "Yes", "Little brother, this is just an ordinary scene in the Jianghu."

Fifteen suddenly realized, "Oh~ Hero Mu, I have admired you for a long time."

"Your accent doesn't look like a Southerner."

Fifteen suddenly felt that Mu Zigui looked like a fly?Or is it that the people in Xizuilou are all talkative?Shen Yufeng's sloppy mouth was dealt with by him every day, and this Mu person didn't seem to be doing much better.

"I'm used to speaking official dialect. You know what I do when I work in the palace." The second half of the sentence has already changed into a southern accent.

Mu Zigui's eyes were filled with admiration: "Brother Da Niu is really powerful. In the wine shop, the local ruffian played superbly, but now he seems to be a standard cold-faced bodyguard, and his accent can change... This reminds me of the official family. Xuanji camp."

Fifteen suddenly raised his hand and pointed: "Look, there are mountains over there, and rice fields over here."

In the midsummer of the southern region, the weather is extremely hot, and the so-called scorching sun is like a fire.Fifteen always feels that this side seems to be closer to the sun than the north, and every day when he opens his eyes, he can see a big fireball hanging in the sky, wheezing like it wants to roast people into jerky.

Since he could remember, he never cared much about hot and cold.Xuanjiying also specializes in teaching the method of meditation, even if it is hot and drenched all over while on errands, it will not be disturbed.

The summer guard uniform issued by the Wangfu is frosty white, and it seems to be slightly blue.When Fifteen put it on for the first time, he almost thought that he was going to a funeral with the prince the next day, but later found out that it was what the guards used to wear.

It's just that the dyeing process of this kind of cloth unique to the Southern Region is unique. After a few washes, the white color will fade away, and after a few more washes, it will almost turn into a light blue moon white.

People in the Southern Regions generally have darker skin tones, and Fifteen's wheat-colored appearance made by the wind and rain is surprisingly blended in the crowd.

Although I was calm, I still sweated a lot, and I sweated a lot.The clothes were soaked and then dried by the sun. Repeatedly, Shiwu silently thought that if he rubbed his body, the salt foam would fall off.

Just now, I interrupted with Mu Zigui, pointing east and west with my fingers, but I accidentally saw the rice fields beside the road.Although it has not dried up, the water line is extremely low, and the green stalks of rice seedlings can be seen. In some places, there is even no water, leaving only a muddy surface.

Fifteen took another look at the irrigation canal at the edge of the field. There was a clear waterline on the slope of the canal, which was more than a foot away from the current water surface.

"The rain in the southern region is not good this year~" Mu Zigui also saw it, "I came down from Yuncheng by boat, and the upper reaches of the Afu River are not very abundant, and some small springs on our side have also dried up."

Fifteen didn't answer.

Along the way, he kept in mind all the conditions of the farmlands and tea gardens he passed. This is a habit.Who knows when the master will suddenly ask?

Maybe the King of Qingnan wouldn't ask, but Master Li has this hobby, so it's fine if he can't remember it once or twice.

Back at the palace, Rong Min accompanied Mu Zigui to meet Shen Yufeng.

Shiwu and Pu Shao naturally wanted to follow up.The self-proclaimed "bird in a cage" Shen Jianke was not only unhappy seeing his old friend, but his handsome face was as cold as ice: "What are you doing here? Are you kidding me!"

What a queer man.Could it be that he got some strange disease?When someone's old friend comes to visit, don't ask why he came here, and say a few mean words first.Does he think that everyone in the world is going to harm him, ridicule him, and run on him?

Fifteen thought to himself: Is the body and spirit really a person?If I were Mu Zigui, I would definitely lose a few words, such as "Yes, I just want to see why you are not dead yet".

It's a pity that instead of being angry, Mu Daxia said softly: "Xiaofeng, come back to Yuncheng with me, the host misses it very much."

"Will he miss me? Joke!"

Mu Zigui sighed softly: "The landlord has a very tough temper, and he always wants to protect the face of Xizuilou after that incident. If you leave in anger, he will go to Tanxi Pavilion to sit for a while every day, and sometimes drink He will call you by your name too much. You two, from childhood to adulthood, in fact, he cares about you very much~"

Fifteen's first reaction: The host is a woman, and she also likes Shen Yufeng.

Then he thought: To be the leader of a sect, he must be a shrew, no wonder this little white-faced swordsman wants to come out.Hmm... If it were the man next to him, he would run away in all likelihood.

Shen Yufeng seemed to be recalling something, and his voice trembled slightly: "He, if he really has me in his heart, he will not show it to outsiders! Let's not mention these past events... You can go, even if I die outside, I will not go back to Xizuilou .”

Huh?Then why don't you die?

Mu Zigui looked at Rong Min in a bit of embarrassment: "My lord, I want to have a private talk with Xiaofeng, I don't know..."

Rong Min waved his hand: "Please go." After saying that, he turned around and left, Shiwu, Pu Shao and other guards hurriedly followed.

After retreating to the small courtyard, Pu Shao ordered people to follow the prince and stay at the door by himself.

Shiwu originally wanted to fish in troubled waters and leave with everyone, his body was sticky and he really wanted to wash it off.As a result, Pu Shao called him by name: "You stay and guard with me!"

Damn it!

There is no such hierarchy in Xuanji Camp. When the fourth brother is around, Fifteen respects him as a half-master and will listen to him.The remaining assassins and spies, no matter how old or young, or who entered the camp first, who can instruct whom?If we talk too much, let's fight with flying knives!

But there is a word "chief bodyguard" in the damn palace, so what's more damning, Fifteen is still a "guard" now, one more word "long" will be oppressed?Fifteen sincerely misses the days when the Xuanji camp fought with flying knives.

Stand back and poke at the door with Pu Shao as a stake.One on each side, chest up and head up, hum, ha!

There was a strip of bamboo next to the gate of the small courtyard, and Shiwu happened to be standing there, which was somewhat shady.But there was nothing on Pu Shao's side, the sun was scorching above his head, and within a short while he was almost oily from the sun.

"Let's change stations." The head guard licked his dry lips.

Fifteen rolled his eyes: "Why do you want to change? Isn't it over if you just stand here?" He said and moved two steps to the left, "Come here and stand."

As soon as Pu Shao came under the shade, he exhaled immediately, as if he was born again, "This terrible weather!"

"Well, can't you sit down?" Shiwu lowered his head and looked at the strange stones used for landscaping beside the bamboo.

"No! As a guard, you have to sit and stand (five hundred words are omitted below)... Do you understand?"

Who cares about you?

But someone really talked to Pu Shao, and he was an acquaintance.

Miss Cuicui was wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt and a small white coat, and a pair of bright red cloth shoes appeared under the skirt from left to right.He was holding a tray with a pot of herbal tea on it.

The girl held her grudge, and since she entered the palace on the fifteenth day and learned of his identity as an assassin, she never looked at him seriously again.

"The weather is hot, I use well water to drink tea, drink some to relieve the heat." This is all said to Pu Shao.

The head of the guards thanked him and hurriedly took it and poured half a pot into it. He wiped his mouth after quenching his thirst, glanced at Shiwu, and hesitated to speak.He should be thirsty too, right?

Cui Cui pouted: "The tea I brought by myself is not for everyone!"

Pu Shao was in a dilemma, and in the end he only said that he was full for a while, and asked Cuicui to leave the teapot for him to drink later.

The girl gave him a blank look, and walked away with a twist.

Pu Shao waited for her to go far away and immediately handed the teapot to Fifteen: "Drink it, it's okay, Cuicui is... Huh?!" He expected that Fifteen would be embarrassed if he was disgusted in person, but he prepared a lot of excuses to coax people of.Little did he know that Assassin A's face was thick, and he drank it as soon as he gave it, without any embarrassment at all.

After drinking the cool tea, Shiwu felt energetic again.

Although I don't care about the cold or heat, I sweat a lot and my body withers.There is such a half pot of water to save lives, and a fool would not drink it!

"Pu Shao, do you think Cuicui's dress looks like a duck?"

"What?!" The head guard couldn't figure out the way of thinking of a certain assassin at all, so where is it all?

Shiwu smiled quietly: "Yellow skirt and red shoes, like duck webs."

This was the first time he shared his experience with others, and when he turned to look at this lucky man, he saw Pu Shao's expression was dull...boring.

The people in Xizuilou are all chatterboxes.

The two guards under the bamboo shade stood side by side for a long time but no one came out.

"Will they slip away?"

Fifteen said calmly: "If we turn over the courtyard walls on both sides, we can hear 'Ah!', and if we turn over the back wall, we can hear 'Ah!'."

"Is there a trap?" Pu Shao was pleasantly surprised.

"Many, many... traps."

"ah!!!"

Pu Shao was overjoyed: "Someone has been recruited!" He hurried in and walked around to the backyard, only to see Mu Zigui dangling on a tall maple tree.He rushed forward and grabbed it: "Where is Shen Yufeng!"

"In the grass." Fifteen, who came in behind, raised his foot and tapped the ground.

Pu Shao looked for it, and sure enough, he found Shen Yufeng with a pale complexion among a bunch of flowers and plants... There were several colorful poisonous snakes wrapped around his neck.

"You...how, how..."

Fifteen looked at Pu Shao and smiled slightly: "Secret."

The Southern Territory is really a good place, with flowers, grass and poisonous insects, just catching a few of them can become the best trap for ambush.Assassin A walked over slowly, took out the antidote pill from his bosom, stuffed it into Shen Yufeng's mouth, picked up his ankle and dragged him all the way: "You can't even run, you're stupid. Pu Shao, catch the one on the tree too!" .”

After hearing the reply from the chief guard, Rong Min called for Mu Zigui to come over.

He untied it himself: "Heroes don't need to climb over the wall if they want to leave. The gate of my mansion is quite spacious, and it is enough for five people to go in and out side by side." He said and asked someone to prepare a farewell banquet.

Mu Zigui smiled wryly: "I never thought that the prince is really so easy to talk, and I also never thought that the masters in the mansion are like clouds crouching tigers and hidden dragons. So I thank the prince first, and I don't care if I don't want to eat. I am anxious to take people back to Yuncheng." He was afraid of going out again. There are so many accidents and long nights!

Shicai wanted to use the trunk of the tree to lead Xiaofeng to jump out of the fence, but he didn't want to just step on it and strangle his ankle with a noose, and stretched out his hand to untie it, but the rope was covered with small barbs, and his hand was bloody. Said, let alone what mechanism was involved, a number of poisonous snakes fell from the branches and hit Xiaofeng right on the body.

It is estimated that the barb was also smeared with poison, and now his hands and feet are numb, and he just wants to leave this horrible Qingnan Palace quickly, find a place to deal with it, and go back to his hometown quickly.

Rong Min didn't stop him, but said: "Hero Mu misunderstood. It doesn't matter if you come or go, but after all, Shen Yufeng is the murderer of the king, and even if he is released, the government will have to speak."

Mu Zigui was shocked: "How can the prince back then?!"

Rong Min smiled: "Did Shen Yufeng leave voluntarily?"

Shen Yufeng slowly woke up from his lethargy.

Blinking his eyes, he could barely see a cloud of dim candlelight.This is still Qingnan Prince's Mansion, and here is still the room where he lived for several months.In the blink of an eye, there was a person sitting by the table, digging something with a thick needle.

"Who?"

Fifteen looked up at him, then lowered his head and stabbed a gray-brown fruit in his hand twice.Standing up, walked to the bed, lifted the thin quilt and ripped off Shen Yufeng's clothes.

"What are you going to do?!"

The handsome Shen Jianke was extremely terrified, but suffering from fatigue all over his body, he could only twist a few times and was unable to move again.This twist made my shoulder feel hot and painful, as if being plucked by someone's tendons.

Fifteen peeled off his front collar, his chest was white by the candlelight, and there was a small blood hole left by four snake teeth on one shoulder.whispering sound!It really looks like a woman.Gently shaking the dried fruit in his hand, a stream of black powder sprinkled on the wound.

After the powder is evenly spread, take a clean cloth towel and press it hard for a while, then tie the cloth belt tightly and tie it tightly.

"To stop the bleeding. Don't move around, it will be fine in three to five days."

Shen Yufeng was puzzled: "I was drugged by Mu Zigui, didn't he take me out? Where is he now?"

"gone."

"Go away alive or go away dead?"

Fifteen raised his eyebrows: "You are the most sour and cranky swordsman I have ever seen."

Shen Yufeng sneered: "It would be better to die in the hands of your Xuanji camp. Life is better than death? Do you think I don't know your methods?"

Fifteen bent down, forcing people to look at him, "You, remember, people in Xuanji Camp only kill heinous people. You, or your old nest, Xi Zui Lou, are not qualified to do so."

into the night.

After returning to his room, Shiwu sorted out his things.The wound medicine and poison brought over are running out...

Hearing a very slight noise in the courtyard, he immediately blew out the candle and hid himself by the wall, slightly opened a window with screens stretched over it, observed carefully, and found a small cloth bag in the courtyard.

Sneaking out quietly to the cloth bag, looking at it under the moonlight, Shiwu smiled.

In the middle of the small bag, there is a flower knot that people in Xuanjiying are all too familiar with.

Pick it up, relight the candle, and unfold.

Potions that are used to quench poisons for hidden weapons, golden sore medicines for knife wounds, and gadgets for assassins in the Xuanji Camp...

Woobur.

Fifteen suddenly felt very warm.
