[Slow Travel] Assassin System - Mingguang

In the second year of Kangji, in the late spring and summer solstice, there were many lotus buds on the edge of Lianhu Lake in Huailing Mountains in the south of the Yangtze River. In the most beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, the sky and the earth are wrapped in plains in the severe winter, and it is rainy and foggy in the spring and summer solstice.

This year's weather is warming up quickly, so the beautiful pink and white bones are formed much earlier than in previous years, and correspondingly, the pink and white boats on the lake also appear picturesquely.

These exquisite and small painting boats are the characteristics of the Qinhuai area. They support countless fresh and lovely flower buds like lotus leaves, but no matter how beautiful these bone buds are, they cannot escape the end of being teased or even dying.

In the early morning light, a luxurious tall building boat is floating aimlessly in the center of the lake, the thin sunlight is haloing on the green tiles and dark railings, everything is beautiful and peaceful... If There was no singing from the boat.

The "Crying Unicorn" from "Three Sounds of Chi"* is actually being sung on this charming and romantic building boat!

"—Thunderhead and lightning mother cirrus clouds are coming above the head, and the underworld is coming with the wind under the feet, hey! Just listen to the crackling hall, the noise and the screaming, and the blood and tears of the world!"

This excerpt from folk drama was performed sonorously and forcefully, and the dense drumbeats were strung together in Qingyue's female voice, like a shout, resounding in the empty building and boat.

If a scholar saw this scene—you don’t need to choose from any academy in the south of the Yangtze River, but just randomly choose one of the regular customers on weekdays, he would definitely be furious and denounce the kabuki for his ignorance and audacity.

"Weeping Lin" is an allusion for some years. It is said that in the pre-Qin period, the Confucian master once mourned the death of Qilin in the wilderness, and denounced the decline of the world and the poverty of the world, so it has been famous forever.

According to the understanding of the vast number of scholars, this is naturally a very pure and precious act, so it must be offered to the book case and burn incense to worship, and it can only be shown off when boasting about the hermit's great sages, which is a special attack on the sages, and ordinary articles. Hing use.

It's a pity, there are scum among the people who have read the book. A few years ago, a certain crazy student who didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth actually wrote this noble allusion into a vaudeville, and compiled the vaudeville into a score only for ordinary people to have fun. "Three Voices" - of course, this kind of outrageous thing is not allowed, but when the scholars noticed, it had already debuted together with several other absurd dramas, and it became popular among grassroots groups in the streets and alleys, and it was unstoppable.

"Crying Unicorn" is already very ignorant, but now this disgraceful miscellaneous song is actually sung by a flower girl, it is naturally an extra crime, and it becomes even more despicable...

But fortunately, the only two people in this flower building don't care about this.

The drumbeat stopped abruptly, and only the high-pitched female voice remained. On the bright red stage in the middle of the building, a girl in a single dress danced and knelt down. She gently placed the tambourine by her feet, and then raised her head tremblingly. She smiled charmingly and affectionately: "Good man...how does my concubine sing?"

The interior of the flower building is extremely luxurious, and several feet long bright red silk is covered in front of the railing. In the past, benefactors would look at the prostitute through the silk, which is naturally inexhaustible, but now, the first A guest who came to Louchuan once didn't understand these rules, so he simply pulled out his knife.

Behind the railing on the second floor, the blade silently slashed across the large hanging silk, and then these precious fabrics poured down like a river waterfall, and the water rippled the ground, revealing the visitors standing in the narrow corridor.

This is a tall and straight man with dark black eyes and clear eyebrows. He is carrying a thick green epee on his back and holds a thin emerald short blade horizontally in his hand. He is not wearing the most fashionable literati crown robe nowadays, but only in black ink. The green samurai Yasa——this set of clothes that should have been "unbelievably rude" stretched out the man's straight shoulders and neck and narrow waist, making him heroic and upright.

The kabuki stared at the visitor intently, and she did not hide her surprise, because she never thought that the big man in Jin Yiwei would be such a... honest person.

To be honest, he is not very handsome and romantic, but once you see him, you will only think of Cangshan Haiyun, ancient pine and strong bamboo.

What Kabuki is best at is peeping desires. She is used to seeing through other people's evil thoughts and looking for flaws. She has also used this trick to kill countless hypocrites. It is almost impossible to try the magic tricks, but at this moment, In this man's body, she can't feel anything.

"Did you sing 'Crying Unicorn'? I should have heard it before." The visitor not only ignored the almost exposed body of the kabuki, but also commented politely and gently, "It's full of emotion and strong rhythm. It's a good song. "

Then he sighed softly again: "You should know why I'm here... Do you have any last words?"

Although Kabuki already knew that she was bound to die, she still felt absurd at this moment—to let such a person kill her?What can she do?

After a brief daze, the kabuki came back to her senses, her eyes were red immediately, she knelt down on the ground, I looked up pitifully: "I see that the military master is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong, why must he kill me? !"

"Yes, I have indeed violated the commandment to kill, but those are robbers and thieves, and at worst they are heartless people who abuse others. What's wrong with me?"

These words were tactful and tear-jerking, but the man in charge of life and death behind the railing was unmoved, he just looked at the kabuki silently and pitifully—but it was this gentle look that made the kabuki never again I can't stop crying.

"Ruan Yanyu, from Qinhuai Xiang County, 48 this year." The man stared at the kabuki with clear eyes, and he read aloud, "A few years ago you were boarded by a demon soul, and you have lived by taking human lives ever since. There are a total of 360 murders that can be investigated, and the victims are mostly innocent people, among whom there are countless women and children who have no strength to restrain their chickens."

The demon's smile disappeared. It didn't expect that after so many years, the hated and missed real name could ring in its ears again, and the memory of when it was still a human came back to its heart.

"Do you think you are a righteous person!" The kabuki stopped pretending, stood up suddenly, kicked the snare drum away, a fierce and distorted expression appeared on its beautiful face, "you colorful dogs What qualifications do you have to condemn me!"

"Yes, I don't." The man nodded in agreement, but then he added, "I have never been a judge, but I have the responsibility to enforce the law, Ruan Yanyu, you have assimilated with the demon soul, I must be here cut you off."

The kabuki was taken aback, and cursed: "'Law enforcement'—what a joke, so you Four Divine Guards are also responsible for impartially enforcing the law!!" "You are just the most despicable court eagle dogs, who doesn't know why you set foot in the rivers and lakes? No matter how nice it sounds, it's not like eradicating dissidents, disregarding human life, kneeling on the ground and licking the master's feet, the taste must be wonderful!"

These words sounded extremely harsh, but it was not fabricated out of thin air. The man was silent for a moment, without refuting, he just said solemnly: "It is true that the Four Divine Guards are notorious, but I can assure you that my Qilin Guard only kills demons and eliminates demons." The devil will never wrong the innocent."

As soon as the words fell, the man jumped down from the second floor, the short blade in his hand seemed to come to life, falling like a crisp green shadow meteor!

*

The building boat in the middle of Lianhu collapsed suddenly, and with the sound of collapse, it exploded, black smoke rose from the gorgeous boat, and it was actually set on fire by someone inside.

The extravagant building boat was burned to the ground. You must know that this building boat is the leader of the red boats in Lianhu Lake. Behind it is the Liangjiang Governor, but now it is destroyed as soon as it is said. No one dares to ask more questions .

Yeah, who dares?This is the work of the Four Divine Guards!

On the river bank, a warrior in blue and black robes saw this scene, and quietly heaved a sigh of relief, and then said with a look of hindsight: "It was finally destroyed, and it seems that this time it went very smoothly... Thanks to that A group of children are afraid of becoming like this, hmph, it’s okay if I don’t know much, and I’ve lost my share in front of Xiju, is there any monster in this world that our Qilin Guards can’t kill?”

The warrior's colleagues were also all dressed in earth green, and they were all capable and fierce. One of them responded: "Of course, it doesn't matter who made the shot! There is no one in this world who is more powerful than our guards. Come three more times." A sorcerer will end up in the same way!"

These words spoke out the hearts of everyone, so everyone laughed together, only a tall and handsome young man showed disdain, he said to the young team leader quite honestly: "Tang Tongzhi, where did you 'we' come from? Master Lan is the only one who kills the witches."

Everyone's laughter stopped abruptly, and the lively atmosphere was swept away. A helpless expression flashed across Tang Tongzhi's dark face.

The young man didn't stop there, just continued to sneer: "Tang Tongzhi, if you overprotect your ears, you're deceiving your ears and stealing the bell. What's that group of kids? Even newcomers shouldn't have such a big omission in the application. It's time for a self-examination and internal audit, so as not to be sneered at by the Western Bureau every time!"

Tang Tongzhi: "..."

This is a good person, why did he open his mouth.

Tang Tongzhi has long lost his temper by this kid. If he would have jumped up to argue with him a year ago, but now, he just sighed: "Oh, Mr. Mu, Du Wei just told you yesterday Who has come?"

The young man was taken aback for a moment, and then he felt a little uncomfortable. He turned his head and actually shut his mouth.

Tang Tongzhi wiped a tear in his heart for his deceitful prestige. Thinking of having to deal with this noble son at such a young age, he could only feel sad for his career again.

what else can we do?After all, these people are working for the rich and powerful.

Since the founding of this dynasty, China has single-handedly established the Four Divine Guards, among which the Golden Crow guards the emperor's relatives, the Pixiu is in charge of secret secrets, the deer and Shu guard the important officials of the court, and the Qilin is responsible for killing demons and eliminating demons.

In the past 200 years, the Four Divine Guards have only been responsible to the king. They have done all kinds of dirty work, and their reputation among courtiers and common people is extremely bad. Shenwei still won the first place by virtue of his veteran qualifications in the "Infamous" - or tied for first place with the Western Bureau.

However, from a certain point of view, the Four Divine Guards are quite compelling. For example, they can get the nickname "Jinyiwei" because of the superiority of their uniforms. His nickname is "Steward Dog"...

But generally speaking, as the king's closest secret institution, the Sishenwei has always been a profession with huge risks and benefits, and its members basically have no good backgrounds, except for a few exceptions-such as the "Mu" in Tang Tongzhi's mouth. Eldest son".

Mu Fengyang, a newcomer who joined the Qilin Guard for less than three years, is powerful in martial arts and unruly, but he has been promoted to five ranks in a row, and is about to be promoted for the sixth time, winning the treatment and salary of a hundred households.

Generally speaking, Mr. Goumei must have a strong background, and Mr. Mu fits this law very well. He is the youngest son of the king of southern Yunnan. The whole family has loved him since childhood. Yu, I just don't know what kind of evil has fallen into me. Instead of going to the guard of honor, which is standard for nobles, to mix my qualifications, I want to come to the Four Gods Guards to really work hard.

Most of the veteran seniors have no background and are not qualified to "educate" this phoenix egg. There is only one person who can make Mu Fengyang obedient, and that is the commander-in-chief of the Qilin Guard, Governor Wei Lanxuan.

Tang Tongzhi: It's too difficult for me.

The embarrassment in the air was particularly strong, and Tang Tongzhi felt uncomfortable being caught between the thorny newcomers and old comrades in arms. Fortunately, his wise and powerful boss once again solved the dilemma for him.

The large boat in the middle of the lake was finally burned, and the wreckage of the boat fell apart and sank into the water. Then, a dark green figure swept up from the small whirlpool in the lake, stepped on the water waves, and landed on the ground in the blink of an eye. ashore.

You must know that there is no place to rely on on this wide river. This lightness kung fu of stepping across the river can almost be called unique in the rivers and lakes. The master master!

Tang Tongzhi unconsciously blew rainbow farts in his heart, but his face was calm, and he cupped his hands and shouted: "My lord!"

After the little team leader, all the men also bowed in unison, and said in unison, "My lord!"

This scene can be described as quite a card, but Miao Xuan has long been used to this scene, so he simply nodded his head in return: "The demon trickster is dead, the demon soul is broken, Old Tang, I will leave the contact work to you, hurry up Go back quickly and let the situation stabilize as soon as possible."

The sorcerer case has caused the tragic death of no less than a thousand people. Qilinwei managed to track down the real information and rushed to the south of the Yangtze River without notifying the local officials. This situation can easily cause panic.

And now that the culprit has been executed, the aftermath must be followed up in time, so that it is not a failure. 7K 妏敩

Right now Miao Xuan is surrounded by only reliable old subordinates who can represent Qilinwei, so Tang Tongzhi's old comrade left without saying a word, took the order and left quickly, and the rest of course followed the leader.

Qilinwei's soul and will are their commanders, and this is what Miao Xuan established after 20 years of hard work after coming to this world.

Everyone got on their horses and galloped along the official road. Unlike the rest of the Qilin guards who kept a distance in admiration, Mu Fengyang rode directly to Miao Xuan's side, with undisguised expectations on his face: "Guard, I broke through again. , let your subordinates follow you the next time you get rid of the demon!"

After the massacre of the Lan family, the King of Diannan helped him many times, and Miao Xuan accepted his love, so he took care of Mu Fengyang after he entered the Qilin Guard, and this child was indeed a genius in martial arts. After going back and forth, a solid teaching relationship has been established, so although they have not yet made a clear apprenticeship, in the past three years, Miao Xuan has actually become half of Mr. Mu's teacher.

"Have you made a breakthrough? That's good." Miao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then refused quite gently, "But we have to rush back to the Imperial Capital, and I have to stay in the palace, and there will be no task of eliminating demons. Yang, you will be promoted to a hundred households, and you can already be on your own."

Mu Fengyang could still have a normal emotional intelligence when he was by the guard's side. He keenly caught the flash of exhaustion on Miao Xuan's body, so he stopped petitioning, and only asked tactfully: "Yes, I must not." It will lose the prestige of our Qilin Guard—but Du Wei, is this demon strong?"

Miao Xuan was stunned for a moment, silent for a moment, and said: "I hope I won't meet such a demon again."

Mu Fengyang was well aware of the strength of the superintendents and guards, and he was inevitably shocked when he heard the words, but he didn't know that what Miao Xuan was really tired of was not the difficult ability of demon tricks, but the cause of its birth.

There is some kind of magical power in this world. Human emotion is the switch to guide this power. From negative emotions such as resentment, hatred, etc., there will be something called "demon soul", which will attach to Specific creatures, and then turn the attached host into a monster out and out.

A demon soul with a slight degree of erosion can be expelled, but once the host kills the first victim due to bewitching and driving, he will embark on an irreversible fall process, and the only ending is to be beheaded or completely collapsed.

Demon souls are extremely contagious, and different demon souls correspond to all kinds of bitterness and hatred in this world. Miao Xuan had indeed beheaded Ruan Yanyu who had turned into a witch, but he also saw her walking on this road. The reason for the road.

Miao Xuan didn't explain anything to Mu Fengyang, he just sighed silently, and couldn't help recalling the similar tragedies he had seen over the years—his "hope" was destined not to come true, in this vast land There are still countless "Ruan Yanyu" in the country, either newborn or bleeding, with only the last trace of humanity hidden under the still intact human skin.

Twenty years ago, Miao Xuan came to this world, so Lan Xuan, who was only 20 years old, returned to the Imperial Capital to join the Four Divine Guards, and immediately found the second target, the little prince who was only two years old at the time.

Miao Xuan: ...

system:【……】

Of course, 20 years later, the little prince has become a young new emperor. Although he doesn't do much in personnel affairs, he is not outrageous enough to harm his family and country. Therefore, Miao Xuan has no reason to kill him, but after so many years , Miao Xuan traveled all over the country, although he had already guessed in his heart, but he couldn't find the target one no matter what.

The system became murderous: [Then it can only be a shark! 】

Miao Xuan: ...

Miao Xuan decided to postpone the proposal, but before that, he had to continue working for the little emperor.

In recent years, Miao Xuan seldom left the capital. This time he went on a long trip to kill monsters because of an accident. He didn't know what the current situation in the capital was like. He just hoped that the other three guards would not have any omissions...

No, the Western Bureau is bound to find fault, so I can only hope that things don't make a big fuss.

Yesterday's latest information brought a letter written by the emperor himself, to the effect that Miao Xuan was promoted and I miss you very much, followed by the cordial blessings of the eunuch with palm prints, plus a section of the empress dowager's ardent expectations and an early date. When I came back, seeing Miao Xuan's blood pressure soared, he almost had a migraine...

That's right, it's numb to people.

Mu Fengyang next to him was still chattering energetically, and the youthful and hearty voice was pleasant to the ear, but it was a pity that Miao Xuan was mentally numb and his eyes were straight, so he could only be confused by the child's energy.

So a 37-year-old middle-aged man who had taken on the burden of life early in the morning fell into a philosophical thinking about life for a short while in a gallop in the wind.

*

"Stop!" Miao Xuan reined in his horse, turned around and ordered to his subordinates, "Just come here, everyone, and rest for an hour."

Next is the time for Qilinwei to rest and eat. Considering the physical fitness of the younger brothers, Miao Xuan will have to travel day and night. Resting at noon is a good choice. Before they leave the most prosperous area in the south of the Yangtze River In the area, hurry up and have a good meal.

Although the Lan family suffered a massacre more than [-] years ago, the property left to the orphan has not been swallowed up. Therefore, Miao Xuan inherited a huge inheritance. I can't spend my whole life...

In this world, Miao Xuan basically didn't calculate much about money. Anyway, he didn't count on what happened after his death, so he simply used it all to take care of his subordinates. He almost became the best boss in the world. The power of Qilinwei pushed the internal atmosphere of Qilinwei to the first place in the country, which indirectly led to the involution of the treatment of the other three guard commanders, thus improving the internal treatment of Jinyiwei——

In the words of Commander Paixiu, it must be "I will raid your home sooner or later", and usually at this time, a certain palm print eunuch will pretend to sympathize with "Master Nalan is homeless", so he urgently Then it was the little emperor's turn, "Then Xuan Duwei will live in my bedroom."

It can be described as a progressive, perfect cure for hypotension.

Miao Xuan lowered his head and rubbed his temples, liberating himself from the horrifying memories. This time, the place he chose to rest was the post station of Jinyiwei. Although the food was very ordinary, it was enough to feed all the people and horses. Waiting by Miao Xuan's side, no matter what Mu Fengyang hinted, he dared not leave, for fear of neglecting the distinguished guest.

It can't be blamed for the overreaction of the post station officials, because except for the Qilin guards, the other three guards are extremely domineering in their behavior. Coupled with the privileges specially bestowed by the little emperor, it is really safe to kill a thousand by mistake, and it is difficult for outsiders to stop. Distinguish the factions among Jinyiwei, so all Jinyiwei will be regarded as the same thing.

Mu Fengyang is well aware of the good temper of his family's guards, so he has no other reactions other than sarcastic remarks. He even obediently eats dry food with cold water. Seeing this vague look of anticipation, he suddenly put down the bread in his hand, stood up under the terrified eyes of the little official, and walked quickly towards the gate.

Outside the door, a horse neighed and fell to the ground, and the rider hurriedly landed on the ground. His internal martial arts was actually very powerful, but at the moment he was sweating profusely and his face was livid.

This person was Tang Tongzhi. He should have arrived at the residence of the chief envoy, but he caught up with Miao Xuan's team, which was enough to show the seriousness of the situation.

"Guardian!" Seeing that the irrelevant people had been screened away, Tang Tongzhi rushed to Miao Xuan, knelt down on one knee with a plop, and presented a blood-stained jade plaque with both hands, "Golden Crow Guard! It belongs to the Golden Crow Guard!" Urgent message!"

The Golden Crow Guard is an elite bodyguard that protects the emperor. It has always been at odds with the other three guards, and the command room of the Golden Crow Guard is especially displeasing to Miao Xuan. Queen's favor.

Miao Xuan took the jade tablet and crushed it, so a concise message in blood fell into his hands.

Jin Wuwei took the imperial decree and went to the mansion of Liaodong Prince in the north. Unexpectedly, just as evil spirits invaded, the entire army of Jin Wuwei was wiped out, the supervisor died in battle, and the Liaodong Palace was destroyed.

Li Duwei, who had always been at odds with Miao Xuan, died, but before he died, the only request for help he sent was to Qilinwei.

Miao Xuan closed his eyes, then he crushed the blood book and turned to look at his subordinates: "Get in place immediately, follow me north."

"Yes!"

Dozens of warriors agreed with one voice, and the bloody aura that erupted at that moment almost shook the small inn. In just half a stick of incense, everyone was on their horses, including Tang Tongzhi who was galloping all the way.

Jin Yiwei is one in a million masters, among which Jinwu and Qilin are the leaders. Miao Xuan knows Li Duwei's true strength, and also understands the seriousness of this incident.

To be able to annihilate and massacre the Golden Crow Guard, and set off this familiar family extermination case in the Northland, if there is no accident, it can only be the goal one.

And even if the factor of goal one is not considered, Miao Xuan will inevitably go north. Although the rivers and lakes in the north are other people's territory, since there is a big monster born, Qi Linwei can't ignore it.

After all, the hero's request this time is "to rectify the affairs of the universe, and to die nine times without regretting it", while the context of this world is "the building will collapse, and the resentful soul will have no peace".
