An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

The blade of the sword touched the skin, and it was icy cold to the touch.

It was as if even the blood had stopped flowing.

Wei Lian lowered his eyelashes, turned around suddenly, and kicked Ji Yue's wrist.Ji Yue reacted very quickly, flipped his wrist, and Wei Lian broke free from the shackles, and turned the dagger horizontally.

The two fought hand to hand in the sky.

Swords and swords clashed, weapons collided.After more than a hundred moves in an instant, one still couldn't escape and the other couldn't fall.Ji Yue's expression gradually became serious.

He has encountered countless assassins, but this is the first time he has encountered such a strong opponent.

Just now when he was chasing, he found that the other party's lightness kung fu is excellent, and now it seems that his kung fu is also comparable to him.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are only five fingers in the world who have this realm.

Who is this who came to buy his life?So willing to spend money.

Could it be... Tumi?

The Seven Kingdoms has both reward rankings and assassin rankings.The reward list is also known as the assassination list, the top ten most hated figures of the year in the Seven Kingdoms, and the death notice...

The number one on this list will always be Ji Yue, whose head is worth ten thousand gold, everyone wants his life, and his popularity remains high.But no one could kill him, so his name could never be erased from the list.

The other nine will change from time to time. After all, those who are unlucky on the list will be targeted and killed by the ten on the assassin list.

This assassin ranking list is the ten most powerful assassins in the world.To ask them to help, you need to ask for a lot of money.

They all have high martial arts skills and unique skills, and they don't recognize their identities, only rewards.Among them, Luosha, who ranks second, has the highest attendance rate. He travels around the seven countries every day to kill this and eliminate that. The success rate is as high as 90.00%. He is very dedicated.

Why not [-]%?

Because that one percent was planted in Ji Yue's hands.

Due to Ji Yue's difficulty, being able to kill him has become the highest honor in the killer world and their ultimate goal.A steady stream of assassins rushed to the Palace of King Qin, trying to kill him to testify, and before washing their hands, some of them had to kill King Qin as the final act to be considered a complete success.

Ji Yue was really miserable, pitiful and helpless, which made him very angry.

So he can only make those assassins more miserable, more pitiful, and more helpless.

All those assassins came and went, either died by Ji Yue's sword, or buried in Ah Meng's belly.Even those who were not capable enough to do business were shot to death by random arrows from the forbidden army before approaching Ji Yue.

Luo Sha was the only one who was able to escape from Ji Yue's hands alive. The price was that he was seriously injured and narrowly escaped death. After he returned, he retreated to recuperate for more than half a year without accepting another task.

Indirectly saving the heads of countless people, Ji Yue really did a great job.

It can be seen from this that Luo Sha is still very powerful, at least he got out alive.

But the most powerful person on the ranking list is not Luo Sha, but Tu Mi.

Compared with Rakshasa, who has killed countless people diligently, Tumi is much more lazy.Since his debut, he has only killed seven people, and each of them is a powerful, well-known, high-ranking figure.

The first person Tu Mi killed was the martial arts leader at that time, which shocked the world.

The second one is the court eagle dog of Yan State, which caused an uproar in the whole country.

The third is the former monarch of Lu State, who is famous all over the world.

The top ten killers are all code names. No one knows their names, age, appearance, and hometown. Tumi is even more mysterious.It's just that every time he kills a person, he will leave a Tumi flower next to the corpse, hence the code name.

Tumi flowers imply the beauty of the end, and this person truly regards death as a beautiful end, sending people to die peacefully.

But this famous assassin never took over the task of assassinating King Qin.

There are rumors from the outside world that the person who knows current affairs is Junjie, and he didn't come to assassinate Qin to keep his 100% success rate and not to smash his own brand.Others said that he was afraid of King Qin and didn't dare to provoke him.

Let people have different opinions, but Tu Mi remains motionless, unable to fight to death.

Apart from him, Ji Yue couldn't think of another assassin who could draw with him.

After all, Luo Sha, who was ranked second, had already proved that his strength was far inferior to him.

After such a thoughtful effort, the two fought for hundreds of rounds.No matter who came, Ji Yue had a murderous intention and would never leave any future troubles, so his tricks were ruthless and merciless.Wei Lian had no intention of hurting anyone, so he tied his hands and feet in the fight, even though they were evenly matched, he would inevitably lose the wind.

In a short while, Wei Lian had an injury on his right shoulder.He was about to evacuate, but Ji Yue blocked the way, and the three-foot sword edge swept across, almost picking off Wei Lian's mask.

Wei Lian's pupils shrank slightly.

Can't be seen by Ji Yue...

Before he had time to think about it, Wei Liansheng blocked with his left arm, covering his face, the blade of the sword sank into his arm, and the black clothes were dazed with blood.Taking advantage of the victory, Ji Yue pursued and twisted the man's wrist, forcing him to drop the weapon.

Wei Lian was in pain, and gritted his teeth to restrain his moan, preventing Ji Yue from hearing the familiar voice.The short knife fell on the tile with a crisp "clang".

The weapon is out of hand, and the victory has been divided.

Wei Lian fell down on the roof tiles, while Ji Yue stood in front of him, condescending, pointing his sword at him.

Wei Lian raised his eyes, his eyes were calm, but inside he couldn't hide the pain and...

And a little grievance.

Ji Yue's hand holding the sword suddenly trembled.

Why is this assassin...

Deja Vu.

However, the night was too dark, and he couldn't see the man's eyes clearly.The man suddenly raised his hand, and a few silver needles flew out from his right hand. When Ji Yue stepped back and dodged, the man in black had disappeared from sight.

Ji Yue stood in place and looked around, but couldn't find which direction the assassin escaped from.

He leaned over to pick up the short knife dropped by the other party. It looked ordinary and was the most common type outside, and he couldn't reveal any identity.

The other party is very cautious.

Ji Yue put away the knife and suddenly thought of Wei Lian again.

I don't know if Wei Lian will be okay...

Ji Yue immediately rushed to Zhongling Palace.

Wei Lian hurried back to Zhongling Palace as quickly as possible, instead of entering through the main entrance, he went directly into the bedroom through the window.

On the way, he had sealed off several of his acupoints, temporarily stopped the bleeding, and did not leave any bloodstains along the way to show his flaws, but the injuries on his body were still real.

As soon as he entered the room, he used his right hand to take back his dislocated left wrist. During the process, he was involved in the injury on his right shoulder, and a few drops of sweat fell from his forehead.

Wei Lian endured it and remained silent.

Without time to delay, Wei Lian quickly changed out of his night clothes and was about to put on his regular clothes when he heard the salute from the palace people outside: "See Your Majesty."

"Where's the son?"

"Young master has already rested."

Wei Lian frowned.

How did Ji Yue come so fast? !

Wei Lian hid directly under the quilt, covering himself tightly, covering the wounds on his shoulder and arm.

He blew out the candle again, pretending to have fallen asleep.

"Go in and see him alone."

The footsteps were getting closer.

Wei Lian tried his best to keep his breathing steady.

If Ji Yue finds out about his injuries, he can directly announce that the game is over.

After a while, a shadow fell in front of the bed.

Ji Yue walked in and saw that Wei Lian was still lying on the bed, so he was really relieved.

He was afraid that the assassin would be disadvantageous to Wei Lian.

"Why did you go to bed so early today?" Ji Yue sat on the bed, "Sleeping?"

Wei Lian remained silent.

Ji Yue looked at him for a while, then got up and wanted to light the candles.

Wei Lian was startled.

After lighting the candles, the probability of him being found abnormal by Ji Yue greatly increased.

"Don't turn on the lamp..." Wei Lian quickly pretended to be sleepy, and said vaguely, "Glaring..."

Ji Yue paused, then sat back down again: "Okay, okay, don't order."

"It's getting late...why are you here so late?" Wei Lian whispered, "Let's go back."

I don't welcome you now, please go, go, go! ! !

Ji Yue said, "I'm alone to see you."

I worry about you.

Do you know that I just got into a fight with someone who was strong and I was scared too.

I'm not afraid of him, I'm afraid that if you don't find him, he will be against you.

I was in a mess just after the fight, and I didn't even have time to tidy up my clothes, so I rushed to see you in a hurry.

It's reassuring to see you safe and sound.

Ji Yue thought that Wei Lian was asleep, so he wanted to light up the lamp to see his appearance.

Since Wei Lian didn't sleep, he didn't light the lamp.

He also didn't want Wei Lian to see his current appearance.The assassin didn't really hurt him, but he looked quite embarrassed now, his clothes were torn several times, as if he had just returned from the battlefield.

Wei Lian can't let Wei Lian see this appearance, it will damage his image.

"What's interesting about me... I can watch it every day." Wei Lian desperately wanted Ji Yue to leave quickly, "I'm going to sleep, you should go back to sleep too."

Ji Yue still cared about the escaped assassin, whose martial arts and strength were beyond his control.

He didn't dare to gamble with his sweetheart.

He doesn't have to care about the safety of other people in the palace, but Wei Lian can't be bothered.

He warned: "It's not peaceful in the palace these few days, so you should stay in Zhongling Palace and don't go out if you have nothing to do. Especially at night."

"Understood, I've been staying in the room tonight." Wei Lian's voice became lower and lower.

"That's good, and..." Ji Yue was about to talk about the antidote when he heard the young man breathing evenly.

Fell asleep?

Ji Yue couldn't help laughing, and sighed softly: "You...the antidote is left on the table alone, remember to take it when you wake up tomorrow morning."

He got up and walked to the table, the moonlight fell outside the window, illuminating the dust on the ground.

Ji Yue's gaze froze, and his eyes turned cold instantly.

That's... debris from roof tiles.

Spread from the window all the way to the bed.

The assassin is hiding in the house right now?

No, Ji Yue was sure that apart from him and Wei Lian, there was no third person breathing in the room.

So the assassins had been here?

just now?

Ji Yue stopped by the table, and suddenly remembered that when his sword was pointed at the assassin, the assassin raised his eyes in a hurry, it was so familiar that it was so familiar that people couldn't bear to strike again.

There is only one person in this world who can make him reluctant...

And that person didn't make a sound from beginning to end.Even if he pierced human flesh and broke human wrist bones, he did not hear a sound of pain.

This conjecture is horrifyingly dizzying.

No, he shouldn't doubt Wei Xiaolian.

Ji Yue, your trust in him cannot be limited to this.

But on the other hand, strong reason and judgment told him that his feeling was not wrong.

Wei Lian had reservations about him.

Ji Yue turned his head to look at Wei Lian who was sleeping on the couch, but he didn't dare to test the guess in his heart after all.

Still don't disturb people's sleep.

He left the place almost evasively.

Wei Lian didn't know Ji Yue's complicated mental journey, he only saw Ji Yue standing by the table for a while, left a medicine bottle and left.

He waited for a while, and seeing that Ji Yue had not turned back, he lit the lamp to check his injuries.

The right shoulder is okay, just a slight scratch, a little medicine will be fine.

The hard part was the left arm, which was almost penetrated and broke a wrist bone once.

But it's not a problem for Wei Lian.How can a martial arts practitioner be afraid of suffering, he has always had excellent endurance, and he has suffered countless major and minor injuries, so it is nothing.

For those who are used to being strong, no matter what kind of ailment they suffer from, it will pass with patience.

There is nothing I can't bear, and there is nothing I can't get through.

Wei Lian's face was slightly pale, he dug out the medicine box, endured the pain, applied medicine to himself, bandaged, and treated the wound.

Blood stained layers of bandages red.

He lowered his head and wrapped himself around, biting his lip, his brows calm.

Her beautiful long eyelashes were wet with sweat, making her vision a little hazy.Wei Lian raised his eyes and saw the small white jade porcelain bottle that Ji Yue left on the table.

On the wall directly opposite the table, hung the rabbit lamp from Shangyuan Yeli.

He looked down at the blood that had spread to his wrist, and suddenly felt that the pain was so unbearable.
