she won't live to twenty

"Tell the Prime Minister the news..." the boy murmured.

Wuming raised his eyebrows: "Why, can't you do it?"

"How is it possible!" The boy shook his head, "Of course it can be done, but my lord, look at the reward..."

"No remuneration." Wuming squinted and smiled, "Or, the remuneration is paid by the prime minister."

The boy was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of Wuming's words.The prime minister has been looking for his younger brother's son for many years, and now they suddenly tell others that they have found it, and he will definitely reward him accordingly.

"How?" Wuming asked.

"My lord, happy cooperation." The servant smiled lightly.

Nameless nodded, got up and left.The business between her and the gambling house has been completed.

……

Silent night.

After Wuming returned to the palace, he threw away his night clothes, his chestnut curly hair was exposed, blowing in the wind.

Suddenly, she looked at the grass under the wall of her own courtyard, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

The next moment, a short arrow flew out of the grass!

The pattern on the short arrow was exactly the same as the short arrow used to assassinate King Qin.

It's a pity that Wuming noticed its existence from the very beginning, and didn't give it a chance to sneak attack at all.

Wuming stretched his hands towards his waist, and the two knives came out of his body. With a "ding dong", the short arrow snapped in mid-air.

"Miss Si Lian, don't hide, come out." Wuming licked his lips, smiled and flew towards the grass.

Where the two red moon scimitars passed, the grass and trees rustled and the fallen leaves fluttered.

The cold light of the blade suddenly appeared.

In the grass, a black figure finally flitted out, and after shooting another arrow at Wuming, he immediately turned around and fled toward the outside of the wall!

The number of black shadow Qinggong moves is treacherous, left and right, erratic, leaving afterimages in the air.

If Wuming wanted to chase after him, he would indeed not be able to catch up.

but……

She stopped on the spot with a smile, looked at the treacherous figure, and silently counted "three, two, one".

When the last sound was counted, the figure just turned over to the highest point of the wall, and was about to disappear on the other side, but suddenly staggered and fell backwards!

Then Wuming flitted over, smiled and watched the man in black fall in front of him, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, then lifted her collar unceremoniously, and walked into the palace.

When the man in black was in a coma, Wuming took off her mask by the way, and it was indeed Si Lian's soft face underneath.

"Miss Si Lian, why can't you think about it and insist on going to the palace to assassinate me?" Wuming chuckled, "Isn't this a self-inflicted trap?"

In the darkness, the second master came up with a seductive posture, smiled and licked his lips: "I really didn't expect that the one who assassinated His Majesty yesterday would be Miss Si Lian. But little Wuming, how did you find out?"

Wuming held Si Lian by the collar, threw her towards the pavilion in the lake, tied her hands to the pillars, and then slowly replied, "A woman's intuition."

"Then how did she find out that you found her?" Second Master asked again.

"It's probably a woman's intuition." Wuming shrugged helplessly.

The second master smiled and said a long series of tongue-twister words: "So, you are not sure if Si Lian is an assassin, and Si Lian is not at all sure that you are not sure that she is an assassin, but because of your instinct, you want to kill you." ? Your women's intuition... is really scary."

"Envy? Second Master, why don't you try being a woman?" Wuming took out a scimitar from his pocket and waved it in front of Second Master.

The second master shuddered and hurriedly waved his hands.

Then Wuming said seriously: "Okay, let's get down to business, Second Master, what did you do to Si Lian? How long will it take for her to wake up?"

"It just caused the poison in her body to explode." The second master smiled and blinked, "As for when to wake up... About half an hour later, or, it's okay to pour cold water on it now."

Wuming shook his head: "No, if the water is damaged, Xiao Qi will feel distressed."

The second master raised his head and smiled lightly.

Wuming went back to his room and changed into comfortable pajamas, took a deck of playing cards he invented, went back to the center of the gazebo, and played the game of "Fight Against Thieves" with the second master...that is, the two-person fight in the previous life landlord.

So half an hour later, Si Lian woke up quietly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw two seductive barbarians, one big and one small, sitting cross-legged in front of her.Both of them had several long notes stuck to their faces. Seeing that she had woken up, they turned their heads and stared at her at the same time.

Si Lian tried to move his hands, but found that his arms were tied so tightly that he couldn't move at all.

Wuming tore off the long note on his face, and smiled sweetly at Si Lian: "Miss Si, you're awake."

The second master is also lying on the ground enchantingly, showing beautiful abdominal muscles: "I wonder if Miss Si still remembers me? We met in the drunken flower room. I haven't seen Miss Si dancing these days, I really miss it so much Nah."

Of course, Si Lian remembered the second master, the seductive barbarian who hung around the brothel every day, was said to have weird tastes, and was extremely perverted.

At this moment, being stared at by the second master with such playful eyes, Si Lian couldn't help but shudder, with real tears in his eyes.

The second master refused to let go, and continued: "Miss Si, tell me, if you are stripped naked and thrown back to the princess mansion, how will Xiao Qi react?"

Si Lian trembled violently.

Nameless looked at her expression carefully, making sure that the fear in her eyes did not seem to be fake.Si Lian seemed to really like Tang Chiyu.

"Second Master, stop teasing her." Wuming rolled his eyes at Second Master, and said to Si Lian with a smile, "Miss Si Lian, I wasn't sure if you were the one who assassinated King Qin, but now that you're here, I'm sure."

Si Lian bit her lip and lowered her head, resigned to her fate: "If you want to be killed or cut, I will listen to you...as long as...as long as His Highness the Seventh don't know."

"You like Xiaoqi very much?" Wuming raised his eyebrows.

Si Lian bit her lip and agreed.

"Why?"

"Because His Royal Highness is upright and frank. To me, Her Highness is like a ray of light."

Nameless chuckled disdainfully.

Si Lian suddenly raised his head, gritted his teeth and stared at Wuming: "You won't understand, His Highness the Seventh Prince is different from people like you."

Nameless asked: "A person like me?"

"You are ruthless and hypocritical. As a friend of His Royal Highness, you use her! You deceive her!"

Wuming almost didn't laugh out loud: "It's true that I'm ruthless, but how did you trick her into using her? Why did you treat her like a hypocrite?"

The second master narrowed his eyes even more, and sat up straight as if watching the excitement.

"You..." Si Lian said sharply, "Don't think that I don't know about the Nan family's affairs. You did it when the second lady of the Nan family fell into the trap, right? You used His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to dig the trap with you, didn't you?"

"It's not taking advantage." Wuming said, "I trust Xiaoqi, so I asked her to accompany me to dig the trap. She also trusts me, so she will accompany me, which is different from using it."

Si Lian: "Yesterday on the autumn hunt, you traded a hare for the roe deer she hunted so hard..."

Nameless laughed out loud.

"No way, Si Lian, you also have to hold grudges? It's too stingy." After Wuming said this, he smiled and shook his head, "My friendship with Xiao Qi is more than just a roe deer. I didn't Take things to heart, and Xiao Qi didn't care, it's just you, Si Lian. It's true that you like Xiao Qi, but you don't know her well enough."

Just like the relationship between Tang Chiyu and Tang Zhengze, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters has long been weak, and they only contact each other on the surface during the holidays.

But Wuming can see clearly.

A family relationship where blood is thicker than water cannot be melted away.

If there are any changes in the future other than the plot, Tang Chiyu and Tang Zhengze... must be firmly bound together.

"Furthermore, it is clear that you are the one who deceived and used Xiao Qi." Wuming continued, "The reason why you followed Xiao Qi home when you were in the brothel was because you knew her identity and wanted to take advantage of her." Did she approach the King of Qin to assassinate him?"

"Although I don't understand, you have only known Xiao Qi not long ago, how could you fall in love with her? But Xiao Qi has a pure heart, and she is indeed worthy of being liked."

"But you are not worthy."

"You keep saying that you like her, but you are doing completely different things. You don't even know her at all. Your so-called liking is just touching yourself." Wuming's voice was very calm.

Si Lian opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he didn't say a word.

"Actually, the first day you came home with Xiaoqi, I knew you had a problem, but as long as you didn't do anything, I wouldn't tell her." Wuming said indifferently.

"But who told you to assassinate the King of Qin and come to kill me?" Wuming tilted his head, "If I don't have a good chat with you, I won't be able to."

Si Lian raised his eyes tremblingly, and said in resignation: "You guys do it."

Wuming blinked: "What are you doing? Hey, I just wanted to chat with you, I didn't say I wanted to kill you."

Si Lian's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Wuming in surprise.

Wuming smiled and said: "Although you assassinated the emperor of Daqin, but you see, my second master and I are both barbarians, and we are not citizens of Daqin, why kill you?"

"Aren't you Princess Changning..." Si Lian said in a daze.

"The princess of Changning was conferred by King Qin, what does it have to do with me?" Wuming asked innocently.

Si Lian didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wuming asked: "Well... so, why did you assassinate King Qin?"

Before Si Lian could answer, Wuming said again: "Except for King Qin, you deliberately challenged Li Lian and Xiao Qi to compete yesterday, to test Li Lian's skills, right? Li Lian is the grandson of General Zhen Guo, so I guess, besides wanting to You want to assassinate the King of Qin, and you also want to attack the family of General Zhen Guo?"

"Let me guess, are you from the Northern Jin Dynasty?" Wuming smiled seductively.

At the order of King Qin, the general of Zhen Guo went north, captured the Northern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop, and wiped out the Northern Jin royal family.

Si Lian didn't expect Wuming to be able to deduce her identity through her two simple actions, and couldn't help being stunned.

She resigned to her fate: "I am the princess of the Northern Jin Dynasty. I have a bloody vengeance, and I have to avenge it. I approached His Royal Highness, indeed, to get close to King Qin, but I never thought of attacking her!"

Princess of the Northern Jin Dynasty...?

When Wuming heard these four words, he subconsciously felt familiar.

She looked at Si Lian seriously, and after a long time, asked nonchalantly, "Si Lian, is your real name Si Xiaoyu?"

Si Lian's eyes widened in disbelief. She had lived in Qin State under the pseudonym Si Lian for many years, so how could Wuming know her real name?

Nameless continued: "Do you have a master, she taught you martial arts, and she also told you your identity?"

Si Lian's eyes became more panicked: "How do you know?"

Wuming sighed, she couldn't say that she saw it in a book, could she?

In the original text, there is indeed an unlucky cannon fodder named "Si Xiaoyu".Si Xiaoyu was brought up by the dead men in the Northern Jin imperial palace, and even brainwashed by the dead men, thinking that she was an orphan of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and wanted to kill the King of Qin to avenge the country.

But in fact, Si Xiaoyu is just an orphan picked up by the dead.By coincidence, the male and female hosts learned of Si Xiaoyu's identity, but did not tell her the truth. Instead, they used her hatred for the Qin royal family to get her close to the sixth prince Tang Zhi.Then, the poor cannon fodder Xiaoyu died in Tang Zhi's hands.

Because Si Xiaoyu appeared too late in the original story and had too few scenes, Wuming did not associate her with Si Lian at first.

"Of course I have my way." Wuming said with a sharp voice, "Not only do I know this, I also know that your identity is fake. You are not a princess of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and your master is a dead soldier in the Northern Jin Palace , she wanted to use you for revenge, so she raised you up carefully and taught you how to kill. You were deceived by her, Si Xiaoyu."

"Impossible!" Si Lian raised his head abruptly, "You're talking nonsense!"

She was told by her master since she was a child that she was a princess of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and she had a blood feud.She has lived for revenge since she was a child, but now, a princess from an enemy country suddenly told her that all of this was false and her master was a liar.

How can she believe it?

"Why did I lie to you?" Wuming approached Si Lian's ear and whispered an address, "Northern Jin Dynasty ruins, Furong Altar, there is your master left over there, your real life experience. I let you go, you yourself Go check."

Si Lian was silent for a long time, and asked, "Why?"

"Because... First, I pity you. In my opinion, isn't it too pitiful for a person to live in such a muddle without knowing who he is? At least figure out his own life experience and live a sober life." Go down, and seriously think about whether you want to avenge your master."

"Secondly, Xiaoqi likes you very much... Although it is different from what you like about her. But if you really kill King Qin and turn against her, she will be sad. If I kill you today, she will also You will be sad. So, in order not to make her sad, I have to let you go." Wuming said seriously.

"But if you just let me go like this...you're not afraid of what I might do to His Highness the Seventh Prince?" Si Lian asked.

Wuming was puzzled and said: "Didn't you say that you like her? Would you still harm her?"

Si Lian: "..."

It makes sense and cannot be refuted.

Si Lian asked again: "Then you are not afraid that I will kidnap His Highness the Seventh Highness and take her out of the capital?"

Wuming put away his smile and snapped his fingers.

The second master, who had been watching, stretched and sat up straight: "Miss Si may not know it, it's like this. On the day we met for the first time, I noticed something was wrong with you. So... You have a Gu, today you failed to escape from the palace because of the Gu poison. This Gu is not only controlled by the mother Gu in my hand. You must take the antidote once every three months, otherwise your whole body will fester and die Death."

"If you dare to do something to Xiao Qi..." Second Master smiled sweetly, saying everything without saying a word.

Si Lian's face was pale.It turned out that Wuming acquiesced in allowing her to stay by Tang Chiyu's side, not because she didn't care about Tang Chiyu, but because... her life was already in their hands.

"Actually, your martial arts are not bad, especially with your hidden weapons. If Xiao Wuming hadn't noticed it, even I wouldn't have known that you were the assassin that day." The second master yawned, "It's just that you are young and have little experience in the world. Some, they will be poisoned by me."

"Are you really willing to let me go and let me go back to the Northern Jin Dynasty ruins?" Si Lian asked in a trembling voice after thinking for a long time.

"Of course." Wuming nodded, "But I have two conditions."

Si Lian: "Say."

Wuming: "The first condition, I will not stop you from assassinating. But after you return from the Northern Jin Dynasty, if you still insist on killing the King of Qin, you must clarify the truth to Xiao Qi personally."

If Si Lian insisted on killing King Qin, then no matter whether she succeeded or failed, sooner or later she and Tang Chiyu would stand on opposite sides.Rather than letting Tang Chiyu be kept in the dark until the incident suddenly discovered the truth, it is better to let Si Lian tell Tang Chiyu himself, maybe things will turn around.

But if Si Lian regretted it in the future and didn't plan to take revenge, then Tang Chiyu didn't need to know, so as not to hurt her heart.

Over the years, Wuming and Master Master have been doing this, doing their best to take care of Tang Chiyu's innocent heart, preventing it from being polluted in the slightest.

Si Lian thought for a while: "Okay."

Wuming smiled and reached out to touch Si Lian's wrist, but did not untie the rope, but took out a small dark crossbow and played with it in his hand.

The dark crossbow is made of some kind of metal. It is small and exquisite and does not hurt the hand. It is covered with a layer of soft cowhide. If you do not press hard, you will not be able to detect the mystery inside.There are three short arrows on the crossbow, and now there is only the last one left on it. The tip of the arrow is golden and extremely sharp.

Wuming pointed the dark crossbow at a corner of the garden casually, and with a light press of his finger, the short arrow sank into the darkness like a shooting star.

From the other end of the garden, there was a terrifying "boom", and something collapsed.

Wuming guessed right, the power of this hidden weapon is linked to the internal strength of the user.The nameless internal force is pure and strong, so the hidden weapon is in her hands, but it has become a big killer.And Si Lian's internal strength is weird, that's why he was able to shoot such a weird arrow.

As for Nanyue...it should be no problem to use it for self-defense.

"Second condition, your hidden weapon is good, I want one too, is that okay?"

"You begged for Miss Nanyue?" Si Lian asked.

"Correct."

Wuming tried to teach Nanyue archery yesterday, but her physique was really not suitable for using weapons. After practicing all afternoon, she could only shoot one arrow crookedly.If you really want to defend yourself, I'm afraid you can only use a small dark crossbow.

Si Lian nodded: "Yes, but it will take some time."

"Don't worry, when you come back from the Northern Jin Dynasty, you can give me the hidden weapon." Wuming then untied the rope from Si Lian's hand, "Miss Si Lian, then we have an appointment?"

"It's a deal." Si Lian rubbed his sore wrist.

The second master also handed three black pills: "Here, Miss Si, this is the antidote. Take the first pill after two months, and then take one every three months. Be sure to return to the capital within a year, otherwise ..."

Hearing the second master's voice, Si Lian trembled subconsciously, suppressed his fear and reached out to catch the antidote: "I understand. Mr. Yuwen, after I return from the ruins of the Northern Jin Dynasty, if I let go of the idea of ​​revenge, can you send my mother to you?" Bewitched to me...?"

One day when the mother Gu was in the hands of the second master, Si Lian was still unable to escape.

The second master licked his lips: "That will have to wait until you come back."

"Thank you, Mr. Yuwen." Si Lian took two steps back, then turned around, and disappeared into the darkness erratically.

Wuming and Second Master looked at each other, yawned and went back to sleep.

……

When Si Lian returned to the princess mansion, it was already very late at night.

The candles in Tang Chiyu's room were still not extinguished.

Si Lian knew that she would turn on the lamp every night to read the military books for a long time, and sometimes she would fall asleep on the table when she was sleepy.During the month of getting along, Si Lian sneaked in quietly and covered her with the quilt several times.

Si Lian looked outside Tang Chi Yu's room for a while, then turned and went back to his room, and changed into a red gauze dress.She was dazed for a while, and finally sneaked into Tang Chi Yu's room quietly.

Tang Chiyu really fell asleep, lying on the table, breathing evenly, and occasionally let out a few cute snores.

Si Lian covered Tang Chiyu with a quilt, but did not leave immediately, but sat down beside her.

Hearing Wuming tell his life experience today, Si Lian actually believed it [-]% to [-]%.It's one thing to believe it, but another to accept it.

Before meeting Tang Chiyu, Si Lian had been living in darkness, and her only purpose in life was revenge.

"The hatred of the family and the country must be reported."

It has been two years since the master passed away, but until now, she can still recall those harsh and hoarse words in her mind.

Master taught her a lot.

Teach her to hate, teach her martial arts, teach her to kill, teach her to charm, teach her to lie, teach her to endure...teach her how to live dirty.

But he didn't teach her what love is.

Now that Si Lian recalled it, she realized that the way Master looked at her was always cold.When she was a child, she asked Master why he didn't treat her better?The master said that she had no right to enjoy herself because she shouldered a sea of ​​blood and deep hatred.Xiao Silian nodded with a half understanding, and kept this sentence in his heart.

Si Lian remembered that she and her master had a hard time before.The king of Qin searched everywhere for the orphan of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the master took her to hide in Tibet, living a life of ups and downs, like two mice in the gutter.Not only does Xiao Silian practice rigorously every day, but he is always looked down upon by people around him and bullied by his peers.Once, she couldn't hold back and used her internal force to beat up a neighbor's child. As a result, Master took her away overnight.That night, the master hung her under a tree and beat her hard, then put her down again, hugged her and cried miserably.

Similar things abound, and Si Lian can't remember them all.

She only remembered that she had really had a hard time before.

After the master died, Si Lian was thinking about how to go to Beijing to kill King Qin.

She went south slowly alone.

When she came to Hebei Road, a group of robbers stared at her.

Si Lian originally thought, how can I kill these idiots?

But Tang Chiyu appeared in front of her at this moment, riding a white horse with a heroic appearance.Tang Chiyu is different from Si Lian, with healthy wheat-colored skin and countless scars on her body, she is clearly a slender woman, but her spirit is far superior to that of many men.

Si Lian had an idea right away, she quietly put down the hidden weapon in her hand, and thanked Tang Chiyu pitifully.After learning that Tang Chiyu was going to Beijing, Si Lian made up a reason and asked Tang Chiyu to take her along.

Tang Chiyu agreed without hesitation, and was even less guarded against her along the way.

At that time, Si Lian was thinking, this woman is so stupid.

On the way back to Beijing, Si Lian learned that Tang Chiyu was the Seventh Princess of the Great Qin Dynasty, and also General Yunhui who had been at the border for three years.

Si Lian has considered whether to kill Tang Chiyu.

After all, her enemy is King Qin, and Tang Chiyu, as King Qin's most favored little princess, is naturally her enemy too.

However, every time Si Lian saw Tang Chiyu's bright face, every time Tang Chiyu showed her white teeth and smiled brightly at her, she felt unable to do anything.

Forget it, the father pays the son's debt, even if he wants to kill, he will kill the prince, there is no reason to kill the princess.

Si Lian told herself so.
