The target of the assassination is the fox

The pasture behind the palace is where the little prince usually rides a horse and practices arrows.There are only a few archery targets, a martial arts platform and two pavilions in the open space of nine acres of grass, and a bamboo forest is planted at the end, after which only a high wall remains.I sat with my knees hugged on the soft withered grass next to the martial arts platform, and looked up to see a few wild geese flying slowly by in rows in the distant sky, their voices were loud and mournful.

Looking back, there is a picture of a man and a dog running wildly on the grass...

"Hey, don't sit still, come and play with the straw plate." Lei Jiaojiao was tired from running, and smiled and threw the straw plate towards me.I reached out to catch it, and with a flick of my wrist, it flew far away.

"Wow!" The big flowered dog chased after seeing it, then jumped up nimbly, turned around in mid-air and grabbed it beautifully, and ran back to me with its fluffy tail wagging happily.

"Hey! It doesn't make sense, why does my family like you so much!" The person who was ignored by his beloved pet was dissatisfied: "I only took care of you for a day, so the dog's mouth turned away."

It probably thinks that your grass is not far enough.

I smiled, picked up the disc that Huagou was holding in his mouth, and threw it away, it turned into an arrow and rushed out.Lei Jiaojiao ran after the big dog when she saw her. Following her movements, her long hair fluttered behind her in a beautiful arc.

"Haha, over here!"

I can't help but smile.How can a lady from the official family play so happily with a dog regardless of Ziyi, her hair is almost covered in the wind.

After getting along with each other, I found that Miss Lei is actually playful and occasionally a little savage, besides being straightforward and lively, she is not deep in the city, but she is a rare good girl with true temperament.The little prince is a good match with her.

But... think about the scene where the little prince covets Shanzhong's beauty and dare not do it because he is afraid of his wife, so he can only bear it sadly, and Shanzhong loves Dafang but dare not speak and can only watch from a distance. What a complicated story.

After thinking about it for a while, I shook my head and sighed, rubbing my hands together.Today seems to be a bit colder than yesterday, and the wind blows on my face, which is icy cold, like frost.When breathing into the palm of my hand, I inadvertently saw a tall figure standing in the bamboo forest at the end of the meadow.

That man covered his face, but he was definitely not a hidden guard in the mansion.

I stared, and he was looking at me.The sights meet in the air, and a very familiar feeling suddenly rises in my heart, which is unprecedentedly strong.Although the distance is a bit far away, for some reason, I feel that he must be someone I know well.

Certain ideas suddenly grew wildly like weeds.I froze suddenly.

——Could it be the senior brother?

Since the death of my master, I have been inquiring and looking for my senior brother who has been missing for many years. Not long ago, I learned the news that he came to Shuntian City from the Lingtong hermit.And the figure at that end at this moment is so similar to the person in my memory who stood under the tree with his arms folded and watched me practice.

At this time, two hidden guards near Zhushuiyuan noticed something strange and rushed over here quickly.Seeing this, the man turned around and crossed the wall lightly.My heart tightened, and I hurried to catch up.At this moment, I can't take care of anything else. If it's really senior brother, I absolutely can't watch him disappear.

I used [-]% of my skills to catch up desperately.I don't know if the other party slowed down on purpose, but I didn't take much effort to catch up.Looking closely at the back of the figure passing across the roof in front, the lightness steps used are exactly the same as mine.

I became more and more determined, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Senior brother!"

The man trembled, and finally stopped, on a roof covered by big camphor trees.I clenched my hands and jumped up to the roof, walked over step by step and stood behind him, staring at him.After a long time, he finally laughed at himself, turned around and took off the face scarf.

It was much darker, and there was a scar on his forehead that looked like a burn, and his eyebrows and eyes were more calm and handsome, and he was no longer that delicate boy.

"I knew it was you."

"You shouldn't have caught up." He said in a deep voice.

I was suddenly a little angry, and I stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve: "You plan to never come back for the rest of your life, and deny me as a junior sister? Why have you been hiding so hard after so many years!"

"I'm no longer from Aotianmen." He turned his face away indifferently: "That person drove me away back then and severed ties with me."

"But Master is already dead!" My eyes turned red all of a sudden.The uncontrollable sound startled the dog in the yard of the family below.It got up and barked at us a few times, but it didn't see its owner come out after a long time, so it went back sleepy and continued to take a nap.

"I know, he's gone." The brother said.

I suppressed my emotions and lowered my tone: "Master has always been duplicity, and it's not like you don't know it. After you left, although he didn't say anything, he was always looking forward to your return. Sometimes he made mistakes. Confused, I will put an extra pair of chopsticks when I eat, and often call me your name by mistake..."

Speaking of this, I suddenly felt a little bit unable to continue, I gritted my teeth, and stabilized the churning emotions.And the eyes of the person in front of him were also bloodshot, and his clenched fists were bluish white.

Taking a deep breath, he continued: "Although I couldn't find Master's body, at least I built a clothes tomb on the back mountain. Come back with me and kowtow a few times, and let the old man see you."

"I can't go back yet."

"you!"

"How have you been all these years, Rourou?" I was about to blame him angrily, but he suddenly changed the subject and looked at me gently.And this seemingly familiar title made me choke, and suddenly felt like a stick in my throat.

What an unbearable word, thanks to him still remembering it!But yes, he shamelessly gave him this nickname!Just because I loved grabbing his drumsticks as a kid!

Alas, this can be regarded as a stain in my life, although now I hear it again... I feel a little sour.

"Don't worry, I've been eating and drinking well, but I just missed fulfilling Master's last wish and accepting a few apprentices!" I said angrily.

He chuckled, that hearty smile seemed to be the same as before.I stared at it twice, and felt a little better.Ask him casually: "Are you still studying poison?"

"Ah."

"Oh." After hesitating for a while, I tentatively said, "You are keen on poison art, is it because of that woman named Li'er?"

When I asked this sentence, I felt that the whole atmosphere changed, as if a dark cloud suddenly floated from the sky and covered the scorching sun.The senior brother slowly suppressed his smile, and the corners of his mouth were also pursed coldly.

It seems to be exactly as I thought.

I vaguely remember that I had just obtained the qualification of an assassin that year, and my senior brother was already an outstanding figure in the industry.Once he took the order and went down the mountain as usual, but when he came back, he became unusual.Because in the following days, not only did he not grab chicken legs from me anymore, but he was also extraordinarily generous and loving, and he stopped taking orders, and ran out with a smile on his face all day long.

I was really curious, so I followed him secretly, and found that he had gone to peek at the lady of the old county magistrate's family, and he was passing letters to her by flying pigeons.When I was young, I was not very interested in those things, so I didn't pay much attention to them.And later, the senior brother stopped running out, and suddenly became obsessed with poison like crazy, and locked himself in the room all day to refine poison.Medicine, even the master scolded him.

I didn't quite understand many things back then, but now I vaguely understand the connection.The brother's change must have something to do with that young lady.

"I like her." Sure enough, the brother opened his mouth like this, but the next sentence was unexpected: "But she died. She was poisoned to death."

"What..." I was slightly taken aback.In fact, after Senior Brother left, I had a sudden idea and went to look for that woman, but I couldn't see her, so I thought she was married.It turned out to be...

Thinking of something, he exclaimed, "Could it be the kind of poison you used to tell me when I was young?"

"That's right." He said in a low voice: "She was an innocent victim and was poisoned instead of someone else."

"Qimian powder, when the poison occurs, you will be unconscious. Every time you are in a coma, your body will become weaker, your limbs will be paralyzed, and your memory will decrease. I searched all over the rivers and lakes. I even went through the Valley of the Medicine King, but no one It can be solved. I can only watch her coma again and again, and the duration is getting longer and longer. The last time, she never opened her eyes again. "

"I've been looking for the person who killed Li'er, huh... Emperor Heaven pays off, and now I'm finally going to find him. I must let him taste the feeling of being poisoned." When he said this, his tone became more and more serious. He was low-pitched, with a strong hostility slowly exuding from his body, with a bit of paranoia and gloom.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered the determination and violence in his eyes when he left, and the sorrow and regret on Master's face.

The senior brother did not hesitate to turn his back on the school, give up the swordsmanship he was once proud of, and study poisonous art. It turned out that it was just for revenge.So, has he been living in hatred all these years?

"Why do you have to painstakingly develop this kind of poison that kills your loved one. What about the medicine..." My throat was astringent: "Don't you feel pain?"

The emotion in his eyes froze suddenly, like ice and snow melting little by little.Then he was silent and did not speak.When I put on the disguise and smiled again, I felt a little bit more vicissitudes, which made me feel uncomfortable.

The matter of love is not the poison that hurts people.medicine.

After a while, I couldn't help asking: "Can you tell me why you came to Shuntian City? And you still appeared in the palace. Is your enemy related to the Jin Palace, or is it because you accepted someone's commission?" Although senior brother He has already quit the killer party and became a vagabond incognito, but it seems that he is still taking lives for some employers these years.

He didn't answer, and I suddenly became a little nervous: "Brother, your target...could it be Princess Jin'an?" After all, there are not a few people who want the life of the princess.

However, when he mentioned the princess, he suddenly raised his head and looked at me, his eyes became extremely strange.He said coldly, "You'd better stay away from her."

"What do you mean by that?"

He lowered his eyebrows and didn't answer, then turned around and was about to leave.I followed closely and wanted to ask more questions, but before I could open my mouth, a small porcelain bottle was thrown towards me.

"Here, this is the antidote. I use it to wipe my hands. I have poison on my body." He tilted his head, glanced at me for the last time, and jumped off the roof with lightness kung fu: "If you want to find me in the future, go to Wuli Lane in the north of the city."

"Brother!" I frowned and shouted, but the figure had disappeared.

Wuli Lane in the north of the city... I looked at the bottle and the black color in my palm, and smiled wryly.

It seems that the senior brother is indeed here for the palace, what exactly he wants to do, even I refuse to reveal a word... I put on the ointment, basked in the sun on the roof for a while, and then went back with complicated thoughts.However, as soon as he turned over and jumped over the wall, he suddenly saw the face of the princess with a cold face.

Standing alone under the bamboo forest, she poked at me with angry eyes: "Are you willing to come back?"

——It's like a wife questioning a late husband.When I just landed, I almost lost my footing and fell.

It's strange, didn't she go to the shop and come back so soon?And is she waiting for me on a special trip?How long have you been waiting?

Subconsciously asked: "How long have you been standing, princess, it's windy here, be careful to catch a cold."

"Don't change the subject!" The person in front of him was actually irritated, his complexion became darker, and he sneered, "It seems that the defense of the palace is still too lax."

So angry!Although I don't know why she gets so annoyed every time she finds me climbing the wall, but this time can't add fuel to the fire.So I nodded seriously, and replied in a serious manner: "Well, I'm a little lax."

The princess was slightly surprised, the stupefied look was a bit cute, although it only lasted for a moment before returning to its original look.She narrowed her eyes and looked at me: "Where did you go just now?"

"I... I saw a man sneaking around the wall like a thief, so I chased him." I patted my sleeves and walked over, lying calmly: "I didn't expect that man to run too fast to catch up. Maybe he's an assassin with high martial arts skills."

"Really." The princess was about to get angry, so I hurriedly added: "I was also anxious to chase after that person because I was afraid that he would be bad for you." With a submissive attitude, she should scold her a few more times and she won't be held accountable.

But after waiting for a while, there was no sound from the person in front of him.So he sneaked a glance at the past, and found that the princess turned his face away, and his ears were red, which was a little strange.

Hey, what happened to her?Shouldn't you reprimand me a few more words?

"Come on, get ready and go out with me today." At this time, the princess glanced at me and said suddenly, but unexpectedly a little flustered, like... as if shy?

This thought made my breath stagnate, and I became unnatural for some reason, and my articulation became sloppy: "Huh? Go, where are you going?"

Unexpectedly, she was happy when she heard it: "Pfft, why are you stuttering. I didn't ask you to break into the dragon's pond and tiger's lair."

...I really want to refute something.

But the princess laughed out loud, and the inexplicable tense atmosphere just now broke up.She seemed to be in a much better mood, raised her eyebrows, and said, "I'm bored staying in the mansion, let me take you to the countryside for fun."

"What about Miss Ray?"

"Why, do you care more about her?" The person who turned around and was about to leave paused again, looked sideways at me, and his smiling eyes became unhappy again in an instant.

"..." How can I turn my face back, and why do I care about her more...

I said: "No, no, I'm a little surprised why you didn't play with Miss Lei today."

"Jiao'er is accompanied by Qingshan and the others. You only need to accompany me today." The princess raised the corner of her mouth again, but the word "accompany me" tactfully accentuated the pronunciation of the words, and she spoke out a bit of ambiguity. .

My heart jumped suddenly, and I felt that my mind was starting to become chaotic again.

It's over, why do I think of the scene where the lady seduces Shui'er one day in "The Temptation of the Lady" at this time?She just hooked Shui'er's chin and said "You will accompany me today" and then kissed her!And I haven't dared to watch what happened next!

The princess suddenly approached, and said with deep meaning: "You are blushing."

What!Are you blushing? !I panicked, and quickly covered my face and walked out as if fleeing: "I, I, I'll go back and clean up!"

"Hehe." A cheerful chuckle came from behind.I can't wait to find a crack in the ground and get in.What a shame!

But why are you blushing? !

It's all because of that book!

The author has something to say:

Princess: (jokingly) Hey, you are blushing~~

A certain flower: o(*￣*￣)σYou are blushing like a monkey's butt, so you have the nerve to call me!

Princess: (Danger squints his eyes) What did you say about me?Say it again!

A certain flower: (▔-▔)... (suddenly smiles softly) Cherry red evenly lined sandalwood lips, shy and drunk~d(￣▽￣")o～～

Princess: (biting her lips shyly) Big Flower~~

A certain flower: (affectionate) princess~~~

Princess: ∑(￣ε(#￣)☆╰╮(￣▽￣///) Don’t think that reciting poems will be fine!

----------------------

Miss's Temptation: Huh!Who, who is talking about me?

Domineering old bustard: (sneering face) Oh, the master must be scolding you.

Sister Temptation: o("▔*▔) o How is that possible! It's too late for the master to like me, o(*￣▽￣)σ, you out-of-favor coquette, don't sow discord here!

Bustard: Who do you think has fallen out of favor, and who can still lie in bed after falling out of favor?Hmph, it's really bad luck that the master actually put you by my side!I think my old lady was taken by the master back then.When you were in bed, you were not born yet, and now she just looks at you for a fresh look, ╮(╯▽╰)╭ But so what, it’s not like you can’t watch it anymore after seeing half of it!

Sister Temptation: Bastard, try talking nonsense again!

Bustard: I just told you what to do!

Sister temptation: See if I won't tear you apart!

Bustard: Come on, come on!

The two books next to each other by the bed suddenly turned their pages without wind, and the pages of the books slapped each other together...
