Ascension

That "killing talent" was surnamed Qin Mingjing, and was Qin Cai's distant nephew.

Yan Siyu was very strict, and Qin Cai only pushed him when he saw that the boy was really capable.His family has a prosperous lineage but no one to use. Although Qin Jing is not close to him and his background is a bit embarrassing, he is of the same clan anyway, and it is in his interest to gain a firm foothold in front of His Highness.

Yan Siyu glanced at the man who just came in, and stopped.Not for anything else, but because of his short stature, he carried a saber on his back that was twice as tall as him.

Qin Jing can't be considered a good family, and his description is also poor. He can't even be the guard of Changpei Palace. He was arranged by Qin Cai to join the Habayashi Army who specially patrols the periphery of Changpei Palace. This time he was able to enter the door because of Qin Cai's relationship. , I had a word with His Highness a few days ago.But it was not the right way, so as soon as he entered the door, the people arranged by Qin Cai took him to a place where Yan Siyu could see, to show that he had no malicious intentions.

Yan Siyu raised her eyebrows, and heard the actors singing: "I feel angry when I hear a word, you shouldn't compare yourself to others. Whoever compares to the sky, whoever compares to the earth, whoever compares to the phoenix, whoever compares to the chicken!"

The lingering sound of the word "chicken" didn't stop, and I heard a scream!

The old flute player kept his eyes on the main seat, and saw Bian Dang stabbing Yan Siyu with the dagger in his sleeve, but he grabbed his wrist.Just like that, Yan Siyu held the dangling hand and stabbed the poisoned dagger into his own shoulder.

The two moved too fast, and the assassins except for the old man who played the flute hadn't reacted yet, and rushed towards the guards of Changpei Palace according to the division of labor that had been originally arranged.

Changpei Palace had few guards after downsizing several times, but everyone was a master, and both sides were well prepared, so there was a stalemate for a while.

The old man who played the flute was the most famous martial artist in this group of people. He could see clearly even though his old eyes had been dazzled for most of his life.As soon as Princess Xiang'an made a move, he knew that their scene was going to be ruined.

Bian Dang was born as a performer in the Jianghu. He met a famous teacher and trained a golden bell with steel and iron bones. He is also a well-known figure in the martial arts, but he was defeated by Yan Siyu in one move. Not waiting.

He looked around and saw that the guards of Changpei Palace were fighting each other. A few men in black were wandering around. They were not very skilled in martial arts but were good at sneak attacks. They were probably the famous Changpei killers.Fortunately, as the intelligence said, the killers who stayed in the capital had just graduated or had not yet graduated, and the Jianghu people can still support them for the time being.

Only the Habayashi Army who came from the midfield with a saber on their backs was still standing in the corner. If it was to protect Princess Xiang'an, the distance was too far... He was staring at himself!

The old flute player was taken aback for a moment and understood.He was too old, and his face full of age spots became conspicuous among assassins in their prime, so he was regarded by young people as an old oyster with the biggest pearl hidden.

But why didn't he do it?

The old man playing the flute followed Qin Jing's gaze. Apart from himself, there was another person in these eyes, no, two, Princess Xiang'an and...

His pupils suddenly dilated - Liu, Wan!

The number one killer in the world ten years ago, No.3 on the martial arts rankings, Liu Wan!Only Liu Wan can stand still in this chaotic situation, no one can see him, not to mention the old eyes of the old man playing the flute, even if the number one in the world is here now, the eyes will only flash away when they fall on him But, nothing.

This is the source of an old killer's reliance, a martyr's old age, and his ambition.The years have taken away his bravery, but left behind his almost perfect skills. Even if he doesn't make the rankings, he is still Liu Wan, the unbeatable Liu Wan!

Finding the old man looking at him, Liu Wan squinted and smiled, playing cat and mouse.

The old piper's hands began to shake.

He is not a person who obeys the old, but at this moment he really realizes that he is old. If he is not old, how can he have no doubts about entering the Changpei Palace so easily, and how can he let himself face Liu Wan?

"Cough cough," the old man seemed to have a dry itchy throat, coughing again and again, showing his old age more and more, his eyes passed by the playful Yan Siyu, and said to Qin Jing, "young man, let's play."

Life is not a drama, and he can't afford gold branches and jade leaves, so he can only deal with an ambitious underachiever, and he is more sure of escape.

As the old man approached him, Qin Jing took a step back instead, looking at his master he hadn't recognized yet.

Yan Siyu was a little disappointed.He has practiced hard for decades, but he hasn't used it against others for several years. It's rare to have a master, and he even picks a junior.That's right, he thinks that Qin Jing is a junior, whether it's martial arts or officialdom, he is just a junior who doesn't know how to play for a few days.

"If he wants to play, you can play with him."

With the bloody storm in front of him, he was suddenly tired again.He is a dignified nobleman, why should he compete with ignorant warriors for his bravery?As he pleases, he can let their blood scatter all over the palace, but if he really let the blood stain his clothes, he will inevitably have the suspicion of surrendering his status.

In the past, he would never praise assassins to watch this play, and thought carefully, is he also proud of his ranking on the martial arts list?

Second, Yan Siyu doesn't like the second at all, he wants the first

——He actually wanted to fight with others in order to hone his skills and surpass that martial idiot No. [-].

How silly!

Yan Siyu seemed ashamed of her own stupidity, stood up and was about to go back to the bedroom to rest.

"Your Highness, don't look anymore?" Qin Cai followed up, Xiaoyi said, "The prefect of Lingbei said that there are some good-looking assassins in this group. If you like it, you might as well leave them to serve."

Yan Siyu stopped when she heard the words, and looked back to see that the dozen or so assassins had all been captured, and three of them were killed by the wrong hands of the guards, and only the old man playing the flute and Qin Jing were left fighting in the yard, it seemed that Liu Wan couldn't bear to be lonely Let's do it.

The old man flute's weapon was actually the yellow-green flute, and his moves were extremely simple, with only one horizontal and one vertical.Qin Jing's extremely fierce saber was blocked by this simple one horizontal and one vertical every time.

The Saber Saber is huge and heavy, and it is not easy to control. You have to have amazing arm strength to fight with others under the horse, and there are many flaws in the moves that are too old to turn around.Even if other people find these flaws, if they want to take the opportunity to attack, they will often be injured by the strong wind caused by the sword.But the figure of the old man playing the flute was extremely nimble, and his bony old bones could move freely through the blade, and the flute in his hand slammed on Qin Jing's body horizontally and vertically.

It's a pity that he is old after all, and Qin Jing is in his prime of life. A saber knife seems to be careless, but it protects every vital point of his body. The old man can hold on to his muscular body for a while.On the contrary, the old man's strength is weak, his footsteps are not as flexible as at the beginning, and he is afraid that he will lose after a while.

Everyone will have aging, but for people in Jianghu, oldness is the most terrible poison. No matter how heroic you were when you were young, "oldness" can kill you invisible.

Yan Siyu looked at Liu Wan, and saw that he was staring at the old man playing the flute resentfully, with the same old eyes, as if there was still a fire burning.

Yan Siyu was too lazy to sigh for the "old", his eyes fell on those young people who were bound in the garden, and said: "Since Yuguo said there are good ones, let him pick one for this palace . Qin Jing joined the Chang Pei Palace guard, let's see how he behaves first."

Qin Cai knew that His Highness called the guards in Changpei Palace to "look at his performance" to appreciate his nephew, and he planned to polish it for a period of time and then let him go out to work, so he responded happily, "Your Highness, don't you want to talk to Lord Tuo for a while?"

Yan Siyu sneered, and said: "That kind of person bullies the weak and fears the hard, just be careful with him so that he can't hold his own. Lingbei said whether he was big or small, and you thought he only saw him after he came to Beijing. One from my palace? I’m afraid it’s an idea of ​​shopping around, and it’s up for grabs.”

"Then if he is taken in by the emperor, wouldn't His Highness feel uncomfortable?" Qin Cai didn't say the word "miscalculation", but only said that it would make the master feel uncomfortable.

"No. The assassin hijacked his youngest son and asked him to take them into the palace to assassinate me, but he didn't even want his son and privately informed me, which shows that there is also a bias in the dark. There are many nobles in Beijing, but the real master is only me. Gong and the emperor, even the Tai Tuo is just a friendly person. Following the emperor is a matter of course, and you won't get many rewards, and following the palace is a big gamble. If you win, you will be a dragon. It's just the odds of the palace."

Qin Cai thought about it: "Then, do you want your Highness to send someone to rescue the son of Lord Yu?"

Yan Siyu sneered and said: "Paying is far more profound than gaining. I just want him to remember how much he has paid to get on this boat of Bengong, and see if he is still reluctant to pay the money and not get on the boat. "

Qin Cai suddenly realized.

He is illiterate, but he is very eager to learn, and Yan Siyu is always willing to give him some advice on how to behave in the world. From an ordinary little eunuch to the current head of Changpei Palace, in terms of loyalty and cleverness, he is far better than those who have become talented The eunuch Qiang who was only raised later.

"Let the old man with the flute go, and Liu Wan followed him secretly. As for the reason for letting him go..." Yan Siyu murmured, "It is said that Qin'er, the female official of Changpei Palace, is lost, and let the old man find Qin'er. Come out and replace those assassins."

Although Qin'er is smart, she is a young woman after all, so it would be nice to have an extra guarantee.

This group of assassins acted recklessly as if someone was driving them behind their backs, but the old man who played the flute had a righteous deed to escape after assassinating Princess Xiang'an, so he would be found sooner or later, depending on whether the person who found him was Yan Ye's person or a waste The emperor is old.
