Rise in the glory of the king system

Chapter 620
In the end, Gongsunli still stayed and will live in Hua Mulan's tent for a long time.

After the welcome event, Gongsunli and Baili Shouyue never spoke again. Sometimes they would meet each other on the school grounds or during lunch, and they would nod and meet each other, passing each other silently.The soldiers could all see the awkward atmosphere between the two, but no one dared to ask.

After all, most of the soldiers had no direct contact with Baili Shouyue, only the sniper team was led by him.Recently, the members of the sniper team obviously feel that the amount of training has increased sharply, but no one dares to complain.After all, the captain had more training than them, and he was also full of depression.

Sniper Xiao Wu: "Do you think the captain has fallen out of love? I don't think he has been looking for Miss Gongsun much recently. They even didn't talk to each other when they met on the road."

Sniper Zhang: "Concentrate on training."

Sniper Xiao Wu: "I'm just gossiping, you're too boring. I don't see a single person all day long when I'm on a mission, and there's no one to talk to. Every time I'm suffocated. Don't let me say a few more words."

Sniper Xiao Zhang: "You are not suitable to be a sniper."

Sniper Xiao Wu: "Well, you are suitable. Hey, I think the captain is really angry this time. When has he been angry for so long? I really hope that Miss Gongsun will reconcile with him soon. Our hellish training When will it end..."

When Hua Mulan returned to the tent, Gongsunli was stretching his legs.This is the first thing she taught her: 1 minute on stage, ten years off stage.The basic skills of dancing must be practiced every day in order to show the most perfect posture on the stage.

Naturally, she hadn't moved for many days in the desert, and after such a sudden practice, she felt that her balance and flexibility had deteriorated.It seems that if you don't want to waste your dancing skills, you need to practice more.

Hua Mulan put the pastry box in her hand on the bedside table: "Do you want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Gongsunli glanced sideways and recognized the box: "Given it by General Baili?"

"Ah."

She pressed it down again in a fit of anger, and said in a trembling voice, "Don't eat."

"Still mad at him?"

"I'm afraid of getting fat." Gongsunli made an excuse casually.

Logically speaking, Baili Shouyue treated her well and was a life-saving person, so she shouldn't get angry with him for a few words—besides, some of Baili Shouyue's words were true.But she was really sad, and she didn't know where this sadness came from. Maybe the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Recalling her lonely childhood, she thought that she had seen the warmth and coldness of people, and that she had already possessed an indestructible armor - she didn't trust anyone easily, and she didn't expect the same return of affection.After being careful for so many years, I still easily entrusted all my trust to a stranger, just because of what that person said in the desert.

"I want to live, and you want to, don't you?"

Want to live with you.

She thought they were a friendship that could depend on life and death, but who would have expected it to be so vulnerable.

It was my own mistake, I trusted others too easily, and there was no reason to blame him.

Gongsunli thought of this, raised his head and smiled: "I'm not angry, I'm really just afraid of getting fat."

Seeing her smile, Hua Mulan thought it was not a big problem, so she unceremoniously opened the box and ate it first, and asked vaguely while eating, "Then have you thought it through clearly, do you really want a woman to disguise herself as a man?" Ordinary soldiers?"

"No." Gongsunli shook his head and smiled confidently: "Girls naturally have the advantages of girls. I know how to make use of my strengths and avoid my weaknesses. Why go to the battlefield to fight those men. I think of a field, maybe, I will be better than them."

"Oh? What is it?" Hua Mulan became interested.

Gongsunli retracted his legs and drew a graceful dancing pose at will.Her slender arms stretched out, silently, but with high spirits.

"Assassination."

After night fell, Gongsunli was waiting outside the City Lord's Mansion.

Her plan was very simple. When the foreman reported the situation to the Santo after midnight, she would use the same method to stun him, enter the Santo's mansion, and wait for an opportunity to attack.She had watched the head waiter for several days and remembered exactly what he looked like.After all, Gongsunli is also a hybrid of the demon species, and she also has a little bit of magic power. As long as she casts a small spell, it will not be a problem for others to think that she is another person in a short time.

But what she didn't expect was that Xuanyue City was so cold at night.

The climate in the Western Regions is similar to that of the desert, with high temperatures during the day and extremely cold at night.At that time in the desert, they were traveling at night and resting during the day, but they didn't feel too cold. Now they were waiting for someone in the dark, and if they didn't move for a while, the cold air would spread up along the green bricks and soak directly under her clothes.

Gongsunli held his arms and shivered for a long time, and finally took out the oil-paper umbrella and opened it, hiding under the umbrella himself, using the umbrella as a quilt.After covering it for a while, my ears felt cold again, so I stretched out my hand to press down my ears again, biting the tip of my ear and continuing to shiver.

It's too cold, it's too cold, woo woo woo woo...

At such moments, she began to lament how painful it was to wait, and then thought of the difficulty of life, thinking of so many vagrants in Chang'an City before, and felt that it was great that she was selected into Yaotian.She was thinking endlessly, and suddenly remembered a sentence Baili Shouyue said——

"Sometimes, you have to wait a day or even longer for the target person to show up."

How can someone be so patient in the severe cold and scorching heat, and can persist in waiting in various harsh environments.Gongsun Li shook his head and remembered what he had heard in Chang'an before. The story was that a general was appointed by the princess to be the consort. His childhood sweetheart cried and accused him, "You are an emotionless killer! Your heart is as cold as a stone!"

At that time, the storyteller's twisted expression and pretentious tone were really impressive, Gongsunli thought about it and laughed to himself.

Without laughing for a while, the sound of a carriage suddenly came from one end of the long street.Gongsunli hid in the dark of the alley next to him, poked his head out from behind the umbrella, and saw that the city lord had returned.

The foreman should be here soon.She didn't dare to delay any longer, quickly put away her umbrella, and began to check whether all the equipment on her body was normal.After confirming, she stared closely at the entrance of the alley, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

It seemed too quiet.

More than half of the people in Xuanyue City were killed or injured in the monster invasion three years ago, and the economic chain and ecological chain in the city were all destroyed. It is only maintained by the trade supply of caravans, and it is normal to be quiet at night.

What's wrong?

No matter how hard Gongsunli thought, he couldn't think of an answer. It seemed that everything was normal, but he was always worried.

The elder sister who sells flower cloth next door to the teaching workshop always said that this is a woman's intuition, but Gongsunli prefers to attribute it to the instinct of creatures to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.However, performing tasks is always dangerous, and she cannot follow her instincts in everything.

Just as he was thinking about it, the foreman in a coarse cloth came in a hurry.Gongsunli didn't have time to hesitate, he shot a dart with anesthesia, dragged him to the alley as in the morning, changed his clothes and entered the city lord's mansion.

She took a deep breath and pushed open the small door on the side of the City Lord's Mansion. Servants usually enter and exit through this door.As soon as she entered the door, she felt a flash in front of her eyes, and a gleaming silver gun tip was pressed against her throat.

At the same time, the sound of uniform weapons waving metal sounded in the mansion.

Gongsun Li was stunned for a moment, and the man opposite was also stunned for a moment. Suddenly he quickly took back his spear, slung it behind his back, and saluted, "Please forgive me. Everything is safe, foreman."

It was only now that Gongsunli saw that the two sides of the corridor in the mansion and the scenery in the garden were full of soldiers with real swords and guns.All eyes are on him.Obviously, the identity of the person who came in was suspected.But because Gongsunli cast a spell, everyone now thinks she is the foreman.

The sword is on the verge of breaking out.Gongsunli said in a deep voice, "It's safe."

Before she finished speaking, she broke out in a cold sweat, her heart seemed to stop beating all of a sudden, and the blood in her whole body was instantly cold.

She remembered what was wrong.

She did not notice whether there were soldiers guarding outside the city lord's palace last time, but even a deserted and dilapidated garden in the west of the city was heavily guarded. How could it be so quiet outside the city lord's palace that no one was there?
It all went so well.It was too easy to stun the foreman, change clothes, and enter the city lord's mansion. It was like a trap to invite you into the urn.

Someone led her to the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion.She thought as she walked, and finally remembered that after she knocked out the servant in the morning, she seemed to leave him there.At that time, I only wanted to sneak into the breeding place of the demon species to see, completely forgetting whether the same trick would be used in the subsequent assassination.

It is simply giving people a handle.

I'll be more thoughtful next time.Gongsunli thought about it and pushed open the door of the main hall.If I can get out alive, there will be a next time.

There was only one small candle lit in the main hall, and the light was very dim. The city lord was sitting on the main seat, leaning against the table and resting his eyes with his eyes closed.Hearing Gongsunli push the door and come in, he opened his eyes and asked calmly, "Everything is going well. Has the assassin ever appeared?"

"No." Gongsunli said calmly.The time for the disguise technique has not yet passed, as long as she gives up doing it, she still has a chance to escape unscathed.Before reaching a dead end, everything depends on how she chooses.

The city owner seemed to be sleepy, and gave a faint "hmm".

Gongsunli took out a booklet from her pocket, which she had found from the man just now, and it recorded the breeding situation of the demon species.She handed over the booklet, and the city lord looked up at her strangely, without saying anything, and flipped through it by himself.

Is it usually the foreman who reads it to the city lord?She couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

The city lord looked at it for a while, then suddenly frowned, pointed to a line on the pamphlet, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Gongsunli was stunned for a moment, and walked over to look at it naturally.I saw a few strange characters in the quantity column, which seemed to be an abbreviation for something.The thing is, she doesn't know him.

The city lord looked up at her, his eyes suddenly changed.

In retrospect, it was just a flash of light.Gongsunli himself didn't know what drove him to do it.She didn't weigh it, she didn't consider it, she didn't think about how to leave after doing it, and she didn't think of anyone or anything.Her mind was blank, but her hands moved before her thoughts.

She took out the poisoned dagger from her sleeve and swiped it across the city lord's neck.

I didn't make any psychological preparations, and I didn't expect the scene of blood splattering.She threw away everything and ran away, cut through the servant's clothes with a knife, put away the spell of disguise, and ran to the gate as fast as she could.

In the main hall behind him, there was a sudden sound of a teacup breaking.That was when the city lord exhausted his last strength before he died and knocked the teacup on the table to the ground.

When the soldiers rushed into the main hall, realized something was wrong, and turned around to chase after him, Gongsunli had already run out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.She ran quickly in the streets and alleys, not daring to stop a step, and ran desperately towards the east gate.

This is a real, life-and-death contest.

There was a sudden "swoosh" sound in the distance, a red signal flare symbolizing an emergency rose into the night sky from the City Lord's Mansion, a large army of ambushes poured out from all over the city, all the gates of the four sides of the city were closed, and all the people stayed behind closed doors.

Xuanyue City, from this moment on, has become a closed dead city.All the soldiers in the city were chasing and intercepting Gongsunli.

There is no life.

Gongsunli turned over and jumped onto the roof, took out the oil-paper umbrella, and began to chant the mantra quickly.The oil-paper umbrella opened with a bang, spinning up and down in the air, protecting her from bullets from all directions.

A group of vigorous soldiers had already jumped onto the roof, attacking her with shining swords.Gongsunli managed to dodge one by one, he had already lost his sense of direction, and he ran wherever he saw that there were few pursuers.Gradually, her physical strength could no longer support her, and her speed slowed down, but it seemed that she was still in the central area of ​​Xuanyue City, not approaching the city gate.

Countless lights of swords and swords reflected the bright moonlight, and the chill was overwhelming.

After fighting for a long time, Gongsunli inevitably couldn't dodge for a while, and was tripped by a lifted tile on the roof.

Ignoring the edges and corners of the tiles, she quickly turned over, only to see a three-foot green blade stabbing her face.

The moonlight flowed down the edge of the sword and dripped on her face, which was painful and cold.

…………

"Lang came on a bamboo horse, and went around the bed to grow green plums. We live together in Changganli, and the two children have no suspicions. Fourteen is a gentleman's wife."

This poem is so good, so I want to ask the emperor behind me, "Why don't you read it? He writes so well."

"Silly girl, because I don't know how to do the following. Zhaojun, look, let's go flying a kite in the afternoon. I'll make a big kite for you." There was a deep affection in his beautiful phoenix eyes that didn't belong to me. , I know that deep feeling does not belong to me, nor do I belong to me, I don’t know who I am, they say I am now, but I will go back to the past little by little, so that I can probably remember what my name is. .

The only thing I know is that this man saved me, he is the emperor, he is very powerful.

He likes a person, that person looks a lot like me, he is lonely, no one is with him.

Other than that I don't remember anything.

The end of the new year is coming soon, this is the first year after Han Xin ascended the throne, he said that he is very lucky to have me to accompany him, but I don't understand, why, I am not really that person.

When flying the kite that afternoon, he said that he was sure that I was his Zhaojun.

But I really don't know, don't remember.

I heard that I almost died on the grassland. As for why, I don't know. I asked Han Xin, and Han Xin said he didn't know either.

But I feel he is lying to me.

He is obviously so powerful.

But he didn't want to say it, let it be if he didn't want to, and he wanted to kill me so that I wouldn't ask any more questions.

But I often dream about that person in my dreams, I don't know who it is, I am wearing a wedding dress, it seems that I am going to marry him.

Han Xin was lying next to me, trembling so hard that I hugged him tightly, he often stayed up all night, and now that the battle in northern Saibei is tense, he often can't sleep more than an hour a day like me.

I blamed myself to death every day, but he just hugged me without saying a word, but he hugged me very tightly. Sometimes he just fell down, and the gold thread on his body hurt me, and I said, "Han Xin, you hurt me."

"I won't run away"

The person who always had an iceberg face had a guilty expression on his face.

Seeing it made me feel distressed again, so I turned around and hugged him, but he suddenly lowered his head, and his tongue rolled between my lips and teeth.

I hugged him, but burst into tears.

He asked me if it hurt somewhere.

I shook my head, I don't know what's going on, but my eyes are sour.

It feels like a part of the memory in my body will gradually break through my shell.

That night, the first snow fell.
