Death Princess

From that day on, Leng Tong settled down in this Jianzong in a daze.Apart from being pestered by Yao Jingyu to teach her some basic sword skills, sword skills, and boxing skills every day, she has nothing else to do.

Days were like this in a muddle-headed way. As the martial arts conference approached step by step, Jian Zong became busy both inside and outside.No one restrained Leng Tong from going or staying, and no one gave Leng Tong any instructions. It seemed that everyone, including the young master Chao Lu, had forgotten about this strange existence of Leng Tong.

But Leng Tong couldn't forget, she couldn't forget how she got from the dark pavilion on the tip of the knife to the misty Jianzong, and she couldn't forget all the doubts in her heart caused by the morning dew.

What is the purpose of Zhaolu bringing herself to Jianzong?What kind of secrets does she have?Is her intention to deal with Shadow Gate really as pure as it appears?Why does she seem not to care whether the file is true or not, and who is the one who bought her life?Is it because she knew who her employer was, or because the assassination was...

On the third day, Leng Tong finally couldn't stand the torment of doubts, and took the initiative to stop the disciple of Jianzong who was in charge of boiling medicine for Chaolu every day, holding a bowl of soup that seemed extraordinarily black and bitter for some reason, and rang the bell. Sovereign's study door.

"Come in." Zhao Lu's voice seemed sleepy.

Leng Tong swallowed her saliva, and stepped into the threshold with concentration.

Surprisingly, Zhao Lu realized that the person who delivered the medicine was Leng Tonghou, she just raised her eyebrows vaguely and said familiarly: "Just find a place for the medicine and put it away." Then, she stood Got up, turned around and sat on the floor next to the small case on the side of the study, pointed to the opposite side with his chin as a matter of course, motioned Leng Tong to sit down and talk, as if the person who had expected to come was Leng Tong.

Leng Tong was taken aback by Chao Lu's actions, she glanced at the empty seat opposite Chao Lu, and at the medicine in her hand.

"Hey, my aunt." Chao Lu flicked her sleeves, got up and grabbed the medicine bowl, and put it on the table with a bang, "Could it be that our Sword Sect can make people stupid? Look at you now You look stunned, and you’re still in the dark." Pointing at the medicine bowl angrily, "This medicine, no matter how you look at it, is specially added by that guy Shuangxue to avenge his personal revenge. I will only drink it when I am impatient. .And you, who never go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, came to me in person today, how could you really come to deliver medicine?"

"What are you still doing in a daze, sit down, afraid that there are nails on the ground?" Zhao Lu lifted the corner of her robe speechlessly, and sat back beside the small case, "What do you want to ask, what do you want to say, ask now, say now, I Listen carefully, after passing this village in the future, there will be no shop like this."

Subconsciously, Leng Tong seemed to say something back, but when he saw the bandage on Zhao Lu's left hand out of the corner of his eye, many of the words disappeared.She sat down on the empty seat in front of the small case without saying a word.

This time, Zhao Lu didn't remind her, but leisurely brewed tea beside her.

The tea sets clinked and the water splashed.The two people sitting on the ground in front of the small table, one sits quietly, the other sets tea, as if the purpose of their sitting here is to drink tea.

But this leisure did not last long. The moment the tea was placed in front of Leng Tong, she broke the peace: "That day, the inn was attacked..." A tea stem quietly stood up, snatching Leng Tong away. if.

"Well, it's a long story." After Zhao Lu took a sip of tea, she frowned slightly and looked at the teacup and said, "Well, it's still close. To make a long story short," pursing her lips, "Even if I'm drunk, I'm still drunk." The Young Sect Master of the Sword Sect can still do things like escape from the inn with Jing Yu, although he suffered some minor injuries."

"Young master of Jianzong." Leng Tong chewed on these five words.The tea stalk is still standing upright.

"That's right, I am Chaolu." Chaolu put down her teacup.

Before entering the study, Leng Tong thought that she would want to grab Chao Lu's collar and ask everything clearly, but at this moment, she found that she didn't want to ask or say anything .

That day, why did she appear in Yixiantian, why did she call herself Liu Lu, why did she want to detoxify herself after that, why did she take herself to the hometown that was long gone...

Leng Tong wanted to ask, but if she asked, would she get the truth?the answer is negative.Therefore, instead of trying to discern more truths and falsehoods from Chao Lu's mouth, Leng Tong would rather not have Chao Lu's answer.

In fact, Zhao Lu didn't intend to answer, no matter whether Leng Tong asked or not.She silently took out a piece of yellow-brown paper from her sleeve, put it on the case, and pushed it in front of Leng Tong. It was Leng Tong's contract of prostitution.

Leng Tong raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"Jianzong has always disdain slave trading, and I will naturally not break this rule. Therefore, this deed of prostitution is of no use to me. The reason why I brought it is just to break your thoughts about Shadow Gate. "Chao Lu knocked on the table through the deed of sale, and continued, "And I have spent so much time to get you into Jianzong, of course I have my purpose and reason. I have no comment on the specific purpose, but the reason, Maybe I can let you know a thing or two."

Before he knew it, Leng Tong held his breath.She found that she was more nervous than ever before opening the mission file, and more cautious than any time between life and death.

"I need you to play a play with me, a play that only you, or in other words, only you, the three masters of the dark pavilion, can play a good play with me." Seemingly seeing Leng Tong's confusion, Zhao Lu sighed After taking a deep breath, he further explained, "You may also know that since the imperial court began to intervene, the world has no longer been peaceful, and this time the martial arts conference and the martial arts leader are two hot potatoes. As for how hot this potato is, it depends on you That first-class mission can be seen. Jianzong was forced to take the first sweet potato, but he really didn't want to take the second one."

"But how can we not pick up this potato so as not to offend all parties, but also to be ungrounded?" Zhao Lu deliberately coughed twice, and put it off. According to the rules of previous years, this martial arts conference must be attended even if it is not present. I must join several other sects with Fang Jiguan's successors or candidate heirs, and directly compete with the top [-] people in the martial arts conference."

"Once I participate in this competition, as a disciple of Jianzong who is known as the number one sect, if I fail to enter the top three, I will basically lose the position of the young suzerain. Even if no one in Jianzong opposes it, the world will not recognize me The successor of the suzerain. But if you enter the top three, it is equivalent to entering the eyes of the court, and you will bring another sweet potato to Jianzong and myself."

"You don't want to be an official?" Leng Tong frowned.

"I'm a woman." Zhao Lu raised her eyebrows.

"Oh?" Leng Tong raised her eyelids with great interest, "Since that's the case, why don't you just tell the truth? 'A concubine is a woman, she needs to take care of the family, husband and children, and has no intention of becoming an official'. Besides, there was Ping Qi in front of her." The great general Ning Yuan, and the leader of the martial arts alliance, Chao Lu, are not unavoidable."

Did this guy do it on purpose?

Chao Lu's mouth twitched.

"So," who knows, the next moment, Leng Tong changed his teasing tone and said coldly, "You want to use the hands of the dark cabinet to pretend to be assassinated, and you can't participate because of serious injuries? You have solved the problem of the conference , and Yingmen, who has the news of the world, thinks he is in the wrong, so he has to help you settle the court and the various forces in the world? Then what does this matter have to do with me? I am an assassin, young master, you can kill as you want Hey, why bother to spend so much time on me?"

"Because I'm thirsty for talents." Zhao Lu said exaggeratedly, and after she finished speaking, she didn't forget to stroke the beard that didn't exist.But Leng Tong still had an uncooperative cold face, Zhao Lu, who was performing a one-man show, coughed twice in embarrassment, and said, "I said, I need to act in a play, and the actor must be you."

Leng Tong frowned.

Zhao Lu didn't explain any more, but stood up and went to the back of the study to do something.After a while, she returned to the seat with a pair of short knives that looked like Yanling waist knives, and put the two knives on the table with a snap.

"If I remember correctly, you use double knives, right? The pair of knives you carried earlier had the Shadow Gate logo on them, so it's inconvenient to use. And here is the 'Sword' sect, so it's not easy to find the right knives." It's easy, so the day before yesterday I asked someone to make a pair overnight." Pushing the pair of knives towards Leng Tong, "Try it, is it easy?"

Leng Tong hesitantly touched the handle of the knife with his fingers, but unexpectedly found that the pair of knives fit very well.The kind of martial arts practitioner's love for weapons originated from the depths of her soul, which made her want to pick up the pair of knives and play with them, but when she thought of her current situation, she held back again.

"Young Sect Master, what do you mean?"

"Literally." Zhao Lu put her hands behind her back, stood up and turned her back to Leng Tong.

"Are you..."

"It's just as you think in your heart." Zhao Lu tilted her head slightly, and looked at Leng Tong's expression from the corner of her eye, "With your three secrets in the dark pavilion-the life-threatening sword technique, and Jianzong's secret help , It shouldn't be difficult to win the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, right? The unknown lone swordsman ran into the sky at night and singled out the Shadowless Sword. "

Allowing a lone traveler who came from nowhere to enter with a sword and take the position of the leader will not only enable Jianzong to smash the small calculations of all parties in one fell swoop with his hands clean, but also use the puppet-like The lord of the alliance secretly manipulated the world, forcing Yingmen to help clean up the situation, and at the same time, he could also use Yingmen as a scapegoat for emergencies.

No wonder she specially invited both the sect master and the pavilion master to Jianzong, no wonder she didn't care about the authenticity of the task files.Because from the beginning to the end, her goal was her own, her own "Three Ultimates of the Shadow Gate Dark Pavilion—Desperate for Life", or in other words, any one of the Three Ultimates who came to carry out the task.

Is this the legendary integrity of the world?The one I envy and yearn for, the well-known and upright family who is a chivalrous and righteous man?Not a single sword, not a single drop of blood, but treats everyone as a shuriken, playing with them at will.

Under the sleeves, Leng Tong clenched her fists.In my heart, some beautiful daydreams were shattered all over the ground.

That's right, if decency is really "decent", why would there be a need for someone like myself to deal with dirty things in the Jianghu?In the final analysis, I have always been the shadow under the light of decency, or in other words, I am the minion who covered the dark side for them.

"If so," taking a deep breath, Leng Tong withdrew all his expressions, just like he did when performing missions in the past, "What if the lone swordsman fails to win?"

"It's just that my Chaolu skills are not as good as others, and I was defeated by someone who was not destined to be the leader." Zhaolu turned around, shrugged at Leng Tong, "Or, this lone swordsman intends to To test the knife, I didn't intend to be the leader, so I deliberately let the water go."

"If so," Leng Tong resisted the movement of gnashing his teeth, and said with a cold face, "After the lone swordsman becomes the leader of the martial arts, why doesn't he want to be the puppet of the Sword Sect?"

"Then..." Zhao Lu took out the medicine box she got from Jiang Tang from her sleeve, and placed it in front of Leng Tong, "Xueming Valley is a valley of medicine, and the doctors are benevolent, so naturally they can't make such harmful things So, I can only use the things of the dark cabinet and use the method of the dark cabinet to rule the people in the dark cabinet."

Before the pain from the onset of the severe poison had passed from Leng Tong's memory, a box of similar medicines was held in Chao Lu's hand and placed in front of Leng Tong again.

A box of medicine, is it the solution?Is it poisonous?

The small box, in Leng Tong's eyes, is a stabbing pain.

The author has something to say:
