Wind and Rain Empire

In the evening, Lan Xueyi returned home after a banquet with several ministers of the court and China. He was walking slowly on the street with his horse, when he saw a bird on the eaves flapping its wings and flying away.

Merchants who do not open night markets are preparing to close their stalls, while merchants who open night markets are preparing to set up stalls

Along the way, many people often saw Lan Xueyi, so they greeted her

"General Lan came back so early after drinking today?"

"I heard that Miss Zi from the mansion entered the palace and became a concubine? Is it true?"

"That's really a congratulations to the general."

Lan Xueyi could only deal with it with a smirk while nodding.

And the assassin Wan Yanyue saw Lan Xueyi passing by in the gap in the alley opposite, and followed her all the way.

"Isn't this the general? It really didn't take much effort. I'll kill you right now, so that you won't become an obstacle for us to destroy the Song Dynasty in the future."

Wan Yanyue took out a small knife from her sleeve and threw it in the direction of Lan Xueyi. When she was only an inch away from Lan Xueyi's face, she was pinched between Lan Xueyi's two fingers.

Lan Xueyi glanced at the alley and smiled

"This throwing knife is not powerful enough."

After speaking, he threw the knife on the ground, stepped over, and continued to lead the horse.

Wan Yanyue came out of the alley with an angry expression on her face, and followed Lan Xueyi

Blue Snowsuit Bedroom in General Blue's Mansion

Lan Xueyi was changing into her nightgown and getting into bed to prepare for sleep when she suddenly heard the sound of someone stepping on tiles on the roof

So she quickly pretended to be in a deep sleep and closed her eyes. At this moment, the sound of footsteps stopped, and the tiles were pushed away by the people on the roof.

The person on the roof was none other than Wanyanyue. Seeing that Lan Xueyi was fast asleep, she blew a poisonous arrow at Lan Xueyi, and Lan Xueyi lazily turned over to escape.

Wan Yanyue got angry and stood up, but unexpectedly she knocked off a tile on the edge of the roof.

The guards in the general's mansion saw a person standing on the roof according to the reputation, so they yelled, "There is an assassin!"

Wanyanyue gave an impatient "tsk", then jumped off the roof to escape

After hearing a sound of chasing, there was no movement, Lan Xueyi turned over and thought it was funny

Wan Yanyue walked into the outskirts hut where they lived temporarily, threw her saber on the ground, sat down on the bench, and then burst into tears

"Brother, I hate it, I hate it so much!"

Although Wanyan Luqi didn't understand why, he could only sit up and comfort him.

"Who do you hate? What's the matter?"

"Do you know that this is the first time I have killed so hard? I have missed three times in a row. If this continues, I will be ashamed and thrown back to Dajin!"

Wanyan Luqi took a picture of Wanyan Yue

"Our original assassination target was not that person, why are you trying?"

Wan Yanyue pouted

"But the goal I set for myself was to kill him. If he doesn't die, it means I didn't succeed. Then I have the nerve to be an assassin!"

"Then you should stop being an assassin. You are already 18 years old. If you marry someone, you're done. Being an assassin is so important."

Wan Yanyue clenched her fists

"No, even if I want to get married, I have to kill that person first, I have to find a way!"

The dumb Hu San stepped forward and gesticulated

Wan Yanyue frowned at Hu San

"San'er, I know you are a good person and hardworking, especially your martial arts are also good, but we are not suitable, you stay by your side."

"It's too hurtful for you to talk like that. How can San'er not be worthy of you?"

Wanyan Luqi defends Hu San

"Brother, take good care of your injury, I'll think about how I can kill that man"

Wanyan Luqi sighed

"I said, why are you so obsessed with that person? How did that person offend you?"

Unconvinced, Wan Yanyue insisted

"Isn't it enough for me to kill him by giving me a knife on this tender arm?"

"You are in this line of work so you can't care about so much, my aunt"

Wan Yanyue turned her head

"Go and rest, I'll think about it"

In the early morning, on the street outside the General Lan's Mansion, the subalterns of the Subdistrict Department and the merchants who opened the morning market were cleaning the road sanitation.

Wan Yanyue got up early in the morning and somehow got a Song woman's costume and stood near the general's mansion, ready to wait for the rabbit

After Lan Xueyi changed into court clothes, she went out. After walking a few steps, she heard a woman calling behind her.

Wan Yanyue tilted her head, sat on the ground and howled

"Ouch, Ouch"

Lan Xueyi turned her head to look, her inner monologue

"Isn't this the female assassin who always wants to kill me? What is she trying to do? Ignore her..."

Lan Xueyi ignored Wanyanyue, walking further and further away, Wanyanyue's "Ouch" sound became louder and louder, Lan Xueyi looked up to the sky and sighed, then stood still, Wanyanyue walked to Lan Xue angrily In front of the clothes, he sat down on the ground and yelled "Oh!"

Lan Xueyi let out a "poof" laugh, and asked Wan Yanyue

"what do you want"

Wan Yanyue pointed at her feet

"My girl's leg is twisted, help me!"

"Girl, this general is going to the morning court."

Wan Yanyue stared at Lan Xueyi with wide eyes

"Do you think it is more important to save people or go to court?"

Lan Xueyi thought about it with a serious expression

"Hmm...going to court is more important"

"Then are you going to watch this girl spend the whole day here?"

"You can if you want, but the general won't watch."

Wanyanyue pointed at Lan Xueyi, "You!"

"I hope someone with good intentions will give you a helping hand, please leave."

Lan Xueyi cupped his hands, then left

Wanyanyue howled loudly, Wang Yuhe heard the movement and went out to check

Seeing Wanyanyue, Wang Yuhe asked with concern

"Hey kid, what's wrong with you?"

Wan Yanyue pretended to be wronged and said

"Auntie, a general went out here just now, bumped into the little girl, and knocked the little girl into a sprained foot. The little girl asked him to help him but didn't help him."

Wang Yuhe helped Wanyanyue up, muttering

"Why are you so careless, kid? You sprained your feet when she bumped into you? How could she have so much strength? She's not a bear."

So she helped Wan Yanyue into the general's mansion

It was still the early dynasty, the emperor sat on the top of the hall, civil and military gathered together

"My dear dears, recently, because the king of Xixia is going to our dynasty, the Kingdom of Jin has sent many assassins to assassinate the king of Xixia on the way. The capital may become a place where assassins and killers gather. I would like to remind all my loves Take more precautions, keeping your property and life is the most important thing, and the level of guards in the capital will also increase, with more than twice as many guards as before, and at the same time, if anyone catches a golden killer or assassin, each person will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver."

courtiers talk

"Is this okay? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't let the Lord of Xixia come to my court."

"Isn't 50 taels a head too cheap?"

The emperor squinted at Cao Ke

"Cao Aiqing, I heard that when you went to Xinzhou to investigate the flood, you were targeted by assassins, right?"

Cao Ke surrenders

"Go back to the official's house, that's right"

"Then tell me how you escaped."

How could Cao Ke remember so many details, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead

"Chen, I was thrown into the river by an assassin, and passed out from choking on the water. I don't know anything anymore."

"What? Cao Aiqing, you can't remember such a big thing?"

Cao Ke looked at Lan Xueyi who was on the opposite side

"Chen, I just remember that there is..."

Lan Xueyi glanced at Cao Ke, then turned away from him

Cao Ke's trembling reply

"Three assassins in black, just three"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, slightly suspicious

"Oh? Three kill you and one?"

"yes"

The emperor pointed at Cao Ke and said to everyone

"Look at it, Mr. Cao Ke was hunted down by assassins to such an extent that he didn't even know how he survived, so all loves really need to take care of themselves (pause, looking at Zhang Tianyu) That General Zhang , Mr. Cao’s inspection task was not completed, so I sent you there, after all, you are a general. But in order to successfully catch up with the martial arts tournament at the end of the month, you need to come back as soon as possible.”

Zhang Tianyu cupped his hands, "The last general takes orders!"

After court, Cao Ke walked towards Lan Xueyi

Cao Ke whispered

"General Lan, I have something to do, I don't know..."

"Say"

Cao Ke surrenders

"I would like to thank the general for taking action last time. If the general hadn't been there, I'm afraid I would have died."

Lan Xueyi is a little impatient

"You don't need to mention such trivial things, but you didn't answer any of the things I asked you."

Cao Ke waved his hands and hurriedly explained

"It's not that the old man doesn't want to answer, it's that the old man didn't have time to answer in a hurry, so he ran away for his life."

"Then do you have time to answer now?"

Cao Ke nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes."

Lan Xueyi crossed her arms and looked at Cao Ke with hopeless eyes.

"Then let me ask you one last time, how did my father die?"

"Killed by the Golden Man"

"you sure?"

"It's true, the old man guarantees it with his life"

Lan Xueyi was puzzled, "Why is that?"

Cao Ke stroked his beard and frowned.

"Because Lan Xiang colluded with the golden man for rebellion, the matter failed, and he broke the golden man's agreement, the golden man got angry..."

"Then why did my father collude with the Jinren?"

Cao Ke also expressed doubts

"This... the old man really doesn't know, who knows what he thinks, maybe it's the golden man Xu Yizhongli?"

Lan Xueyi shook his head, turned his back

"My father is not a man who is greedy for fame and wealth. He can even be said to be a man of loyalty. In theory, it is impossible to treason. Perhaps something very serious happened, which led him to make such a decision."

Cao Ke followed up

"But it is indeed him. Your father came to find the old man himself and planned with the old man. This cannot be wrong anyway."

Lan Xueyi was lost in thought

In the study of General Lan's Mansion

The flickering candlelight reflected Lan Xueyi's face full of doubts, and there was a book in front of him that he didn't even bother to read.

Wan Yanyue brought tea into the study, walked slowly towards Lan Xueyi, and said something delicately

"General please drink tea"

Lan Xueyi felt something was wrong, but when she looked up, it was Wanyanyue, that assassin!

She was very surprised and asked

"why you?"

Wanyanyue immediately threw the tea bowl out, Lan Xueyi grabbed the book in front of her and blocked it

Lan Xueyi was angry

"How dare you wet my book!"

Wan Yanyue is confident

"So what!"

Wan Yanyue turned over the table, grabbed the dagger and started fighting with Lan Xueyi

Lan Xueyi asked while accepting the move

"You woman! Why are you pestering this general?"

"Because I'm going to kill you!"

Lan Xueyi was even more puzzled

"Then why?"

"Because you hurt me"

Lan Xueyi stopped

"Just because of this? You are a killer, isn't it normal to be injured?"

Wan Yanyue corrected

"Not a killer, I'm an assassin, and I've missed 3 times in a row, I can't miss again"

"Is there a difference between the two?"

Lan Xueyi grabbed Wan Yanyue's arm with a backhand

Wan Yanyue cried out in pain, "Ah!"

The sound of the two fighting caused Wang Ma outside the corridor to stop and listen.

Lan Xueyi saw that the wound on Wanyanyue's arm was open and bleeding

"You're bleeding (tear off Wan Yanyue's sleeve)"

"You! You actually tore my clothes!"

Lan Xueyi asked domineeringly

"So what if you tear your clothes off?"

She dragged Wanyanyue to a chair and sat down, and touched Wanyanyue's wound with her hand, Wanyanyue struggled hard

"It hurts, don't touch it with your hands"

"If you don't move, it won't hurt anymore. Why do you keep moving?"

Wan Yanyue is angry

"I told you not to touch me!"

Lan Xueyi said patiently

"I told you not to move, the light here is dark, I don't know if I hurt you."

Wanyanyue howled angrily

"You rascal, you can't resist while I'm hurt, ah~ (screaming in pain)"

Wang Yuhe became puzzled when he heard that

"What are these two children doing? No, I have to go in and have a look..."

Wang Yuhe pushed the door open and entered the room, saw Lan Xueyi was wiping the wound on Wanyanyue's arm, and stepped forward anxiously

"Oh, how did this child get hurt, and how badly he got hurt?"

Wan Yanyue pointed at Lan Xueyi

"It's not all because of him!"

Lan Xueyi was blocked by this villain who complained first

"Obviously you were the one who wanted to assassinate Mr. Cao, but I stopped you, blame me?"

Wang Yuhe took a picture of Lan Xueyi

"Oh, this needs medicine, Xue Yi, let me borrow your Jinchuang medicine."

Lan Xueyi looked at Wang Yuhe with big eyes

"Use it for her? No way"

Wang Yuhe was puzzled, "Why is that?"

Lan Xueyi felt baffled

"What why? She's an assassin! Came to kill me! You gave her medicine?"

Wang Yuhe was taken aback

"What? (Turning to ask Wanyan Yue) Are you an assassin?"

Lan Xueyi dragged Wang Yuhe away

"Oh, why are you so concerned about her? What are you asking! I said yes, so is there something wrong?"

"But this..."

Lan Xueyi pointed at Wang Yuhe

"Hey, what's more, why did you enter my study without saying a word?"

Wang Yuhe rubbed her hands

"I heard you yelling in the room, and I thought you..."

"What do you think we are?"

Wang Yuhe looked at Lan Xueyi with a serious face

"Nothing, no reason"

Lan Xueyi pushed Wang Yuhe away

"Mother Wang, go down and rest first, I'll deal with this girl"

"Quickly tell her to stop howling, she's going to sleep! Howling again, the neighbors are going to complain!"

Wang Yuhe exited the study

Lan Xueyi walked back to Wanyanyue who was so painful that she almost went into shock

"Hey, are you still alive?"

Wan Yanyue was in so much pain that she could only speak softly

"You... if you are not dead, I must live!"

Lan Xueyi shook his head

"You are really persistent (take out Jinchuang medicine from your sleeve) to apply a little on you, this will heal soon, don't move."

Wanyanyue saw Lan Xueyi smearing her wounds, and asked

"Will it leave a scar?"

Lan Xueyi almost laughed out loud.

"You killer is still worried about scarring?"

"I told you I'm an assassin! She's a girl anyway, girls will care about this issue, what if the person I like won't marry me because I have a scar?"

Lan Xueyi imitated Wanyanyue's tone

"Oh, oh, she is a girl anyway, she won't marry you because of scars? Don't ask me about this, I don't know"

After giving Wan Yanyue the medicine, he bandaged her up

"Okay, let's go"

Wanyanyue stood up, looked at Lan Xueyi

"I want to kill you, but you give me medicine, are you sick?"

Lan Xueyi, who was exhausted and still flattered, felt completely bewildered

"you!"

Wan Yanyue proudly said "Huh!" and then swaggered out of the study

The author has something to say:

Lan Xueyi: Yue'er is a very straightforward girl

Xiaohua: Oh, so...

Lan Xueyi: So you will write her ending better, right?

Xiaohua: Uh...

Lan Xueyi: ...
