Death Princess

Jianzong Xuanling Mountain is located in a house at the foot of the West Mountain.

The bird fluttered its wings, bypassed the guards familiarly, and flew into the study.In the study room, Zhao Lu was writing something with a pen.Bird tilted his head to look at the words on the paper, and nodded his head as if he recognized it.

"Well, here we come." Zhao Lu put the pen aside, blew on the wet ink on the paper, gathered the paper a little, and put it on the side, "It's exactly right, once I finish dealing with the matter here, you It's here." She stood up, got a handful of bird food from somewhere, and sprinkled it on the plate that had been prepared on the table.

The bird flapped its wings, ran to the plate in small steps, and began to eat bitterly.But at the same time, a piece of silver-white light leaked from the bird's body, and gathered into the shape of a person at Chaolu's side.

"Look at this, did you already know that I would come as a brother?" After finding an empty space in the room and sitting down, the figure said, "Did Luer have a premonitory dream again? If so, how can Luer be known as a dream?" Brother, what is the purpose of coming this time?"

"Being a brother is a brother, and you are more skillful than me for a cup of tea." Zhao Lu lifted her robe and sat on the ground beside the figure, "What else could it be? Counting and counting, you can bother Prince She Mr. Qin, you use the forbidden technique to go there yourself, the ones who come to this wild place of the rivers and lakes are the martial arts conference, right?"

"Zhazaza, look at your tone, brother, I can't stand it anymore. Is my little sister still complaining about my brother? Didn't you agree with me a long time ago when I chose this path for my brother? I entrust all the affairs of the Phantom Spirit Clan to you, and it's not because you are always better at these than me, brother..." Qin Hui swallowed this pretending self-proclaimed by Zhao Lu's eyes, and changed his mouth, "Cough, ah How are mom and dad?"

"Father and Auntie are good, don't you know if you ask yourself?" Zhao Lu curled her lips, and raised her eyebrows after seeing Qin Hui's slumped face, "Well, I guess you wouldn't dare to go."

Zhao Lu leaned back, and got back to business: "Let's talk about it, what is the specific reason for your coming this time? There is no need to mention the fact that the imperial court intends to use the martial arts conference to control the world. The matter of ranking officials has already caused a lot of trouble. Moreover, according to Zhuo Er, her mother—Senior Sister Ning Yuan has been sent by His Majesty to supervise the affairs of the leader."

"Wrong, it's not His Majesty, it's the Crown Prince." Qin Hui conjured up a fan out of nowhere and fanned it leisurely, "Although His Majesty may have intended this, but sending General Pingqi Ning Yuan here, It was the prince who suggested it to His Majesty on his own initiative."

"Oh? Send a great hero who made Qi Guo bow his head and become a minister, and the only female general in the court, to supervise the matter of the leader? What is the prince planning? Everyone knows that General Ning and Minister of Industry Wei Kang have a deep relationship, but Wei Kang used to be, ahem, the third younger brother of His Majesty, the head of the bodyguard of King Ji He Kunjin. He has always been at odds with the prince's faction. After all, the two brothers Jing Wang and Ji Wang who were ordered to return to Beijing eight years ago were at odds. Although there is no obvious evidence for the tragic death of a person, and His Majesty has not stated his position, the ruling and opposition parties more or less tacitly agree that he has nothing to do with the Crown Prince."

"Well, whatever he wants to do, left and right is not something I want to worry about, nor is it the purpose of my coming to you." Zhao Lu analyzed a lot, but Qin Hui seemed to be indifferent and let it go, playing tricks Leaning on the ground as if, "I'm here to worry about the life of my precious little sister."

"My life?" Zhao Lu's expression was a little subtle, but she was not surprised, "Why, the prince wants to kill me? Then you, a good brother of the prince, are you planning to add fire?"

"The crown prince wants to kill you? No, no, no," Qin Hui shook his finger, "There are a lot of people who want to kill you. Eight years ago," Qin Hui's expression became serious, "only on the surface, After Uncle Palm’s whole family was slaughtered, the lord of Jianzong personally rushed to deal with it. That is to say, if Jianzong is related to the royal family, it is related to the deceased King Jing and King Ji, so it is related to His Majesty.”

"Therefore, the world can make this inference. If the legendary imperial prince's secret edict really exists, it is likely to be in the hands of Jianzong. The crown prince thinks so, King Ping thinks so, all the officials in the court think so, and even His Majesty himself ...Think about it, it's about the imperial edict of who will sit on the dragon chair, in your hands, the person who is staring at your life..." Qin Hui lowered his voice, "If you go deeper, the sword The relationship between Zong and King Ji..." He didn't finish.

"The prince knows?" Zhao Lu frowned.

"Although I don't really know it, but with Feiling Villa tossing around there, I can guess it all. So no matter who it is, no matter who hired the secret killer, how about you, Luer?" Qin Hui stretched out his hand and poked Poking Chaolu, "I'm going to lose my life."

"Knowing that I'm going to die, why are you so happy as a brother?" Chao Lu's eyes twitched.

"That's not it," Qin Hui slapped his thigh and stood up, "Look, assassinating the young lord of the Sword Sect is probably a rare first-class task. You know the strength of the assassin in the dark pavilion better than me. If you have this ability, you can do it There are only a few who break through the sword sect and fight Wuying sword, the three masters, the six breaks, and the eighteen evil spirits." Qin Hui counted on his fingers.

"As for tasks that are hard to go and hard to return, and may even involve Yingmen's reputation in the Jianghu, the best choice is naturally to send someone who can act alone and can be abandoned at any time if necessary. Liuduan and Shibasha have never been alone. Action, and in Sanjue, the bone erosion is the new pavilion master Wu Mian himself, and Suo Hun seems to have a sworn enemy with that Wu Mian, so Wu Mian will not dare to send her out easily, so the only thing left is, "Qin Hui showed a meaningful smile, "Death."

Take your life, take your life——Leng Tong.

Chao Lu's eyelashes trembled, but she didn't answer.

"Hey, the various forces in Anguo searched and searched, and ruined the lives of countless innocent Liuzhi girls but to no avail. In the end, it was under their noses. It's just that the 'Princess Liuzhi' is no longer Liuzhi." Qin Hui pretended to sigh, "It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get here."

"That's all I want to say, brother, please leave this matter to my little sister." After patting Zhaolu on the shoulder, the silver light dissipated, the birds flew away, and only Zhaolu who was deep in thought was left in the room.

On one side is the frightening Three Secrets of the Dark Pavilion - Suo Ming, and on the other side is the Royal Princess Six Fingers who lived in the world in the early years and no one knew about it.

Chao Lu habitually touched the scar on her neck, the mark left by her.

Leng Tong, Leng Tong, do you still remember that eight years ago...

There was movement outside the house.

Chao Lu jumped up from the ground, sat back at the desk, and said, "Senior Brother Wen, Zhuo Er, come in."

A man and a woman walked into the study upon hearing the sound.

Zhao Lu fixed her eyes on the woman. The woman was dressed in a blue brocade robe and held a silver sword in her hand. She was full of heroism. At first glance, it was difficult to distinguish between men and women.Seeing this, Zhao Lu nodded with satisfaction: "I didn't expect it to fit well."

"So, Young Sect Master, what do you want me to do by letting me wear this outfit?" Wei Zhuoer rolled his eyes.

"Didn't Senior Sister Ning Yuan ask you to stay with me from now on? I have to find something for you to do." Zhao Lu walked up to Wei Zhuoer's side, and carefully observed her clothes. "This suit really suits you, doesn't it, Brother Wen?" Wen Yihai said, who was beside the forehead.

"Well, it's quite suitable." Wen Yihai understood what kind of medicine was sold in Chaolu Gourd, and nodded with a smirk.

"Find me something to do, just let me change clothes?"

"Don't worry, let me take my time." Zhao Lu condensed the matter of the assassination a little, and told the two, "So, in my opinion, the assassin will definitely break through in the next few days."

"Why do you decide to break into the sky in the past few days? Why don't you wait until the martial arts conference is full of people, and just sneak in, and then make a move?" Wei Zhuo'er asked.

"Oh? Then tell me, now that the martial arts conference is being held in Jianzong, I will manage it. If I die on the day of the conference, what will happen to the conference?" Chao Lu said.

"Trouble, big trouble." The person who answered was Wen Yihai, "But those who bought the murder must not want any trouble to happen on the day of the meeting, so the assassination was either before the meeting or after the meeting, and after the meeting The leader of the martial arts alliance has been announced, the situation has been settled, and then the assassination will lose part of the meaning, right?"

"Then why did you break into the sky, instead of pretending to be someone from another sect and entering the West Valley openly through the main entrance, or entering the West Valley through the main entrance?" Wei Zhuoer still asked relentlessly.

"Pretending to be another sect? The Dark Pavilion belongs to the Shadow Sect, and the Shadow Sect is the house of all affairs. It can stand for many years without falling in the arena. How can it be so stupid that it easily drags other unrelated sects into it?" A business that is already dangerous enough? As for why she didn't force her way through the front door?" Zhao Lu waved her hand mysteriously, "Instinct, my intuition. If the person who came was really her, she would definitely choose to break through the sky." .”

"Then what if your intuition isn't right?" Look at this, Wei Zhuoer and Chao Lu had a deadly fight.

"Has the intuition of our Phantom Spirit Clan ever been inaccurate?" Turning to Wen Yihai, he asked.

"Never." He replied calmly.

"Besides, even if it's not allowed, I have a backup plan." Zhao Lu pointed to Wei Zhuo'er with her eyes.

"Me? Huh?" Wei Zhuoer pointed at his nose, completely confused.

"Tell me, among the people in Jianghu, what is the young master of Jianzong like?" Zhao Lu still kept telling the truth.

"Blue clothes, shadowless sword, men and women are indistinguishable." The moment Wei Zhuo'er looked down at her clothes, Wei Zhuo'er understood what Chao Lu meant, and she shrunk her face as expected, "Oh, dare to love Chao Lu, what is your plan?" Make me a scapegoat?"

"How could it be? Look at what you said, Young Sovereign, with Senior Brother Wen and I around, how could it hurt you a little bit?" Zhao Lu teased Wei Zhuoer, "It's really impossible, you yell at you in times of crisis. It’s not Chaolu, and if you take out the token of Wei Ning Mansion and wave it around, the assassin will definitely not dare to touch people in the court.” Seeing that Wei Zhuo’er still had an unfriendly expression, “Young Sect Master, rest assured, if you want Otherwise, from today onwards, my brother and I will be your bodyguards, and we will never leave you by your side?"

"Forget it, let you be my bodyguard, you will lose your life. You'd better go to your own world." Wei Zhuoer's mouth twitched.But after a while, as if she had thought of something good, she turned her head and asked Wen Yihai, "So, I'm the young suzerain now?"

"Yes." Wen Yihai nodded knowingly.

"Okay, cough," Wei Zhuoer exaggeratedly coughed twice, straightened his body, and said in a low voice, "Chaolu!"

"...Brother...the disciple is here." Well, the trickster was tricked.

"Are you guilty?"

"...No...I don't know." Zhao Lu couldn't control her twitching expression.

"I don't know?" Wei Zhuo'er patted the table pretentiously, "Okay, then you can go and guard the sky, and come back to my young suzerain after you are convicted."

"..."

"Aren't you going soon?" Wei Zhuoer rolled his eyes.

"..." Zhao Lu still didn't move.

"Come on!"

"Here!" Wen Yihai was very cooperative with the play.

"Take her there!"

"Yes!" After saying that, he dragged her to the door with Zhao Lu in his arms.

"..."

. . .

Leng Tong has been quietly observing here for a few days.Gu Mingzhu said that Chaolu, the young lord of Jianzong, is now living in this house in the West Valley.

Xuanling Mountain, where Jianzong is located, is known as the best of the five dangers in Anguo, and the West Valley is the best among them.There are only two roads that can enter and exit the valley in the whole mountain. One is heavily guarded by the disciples of Jianzong; the other is loosely guarded, but has a natural barrier-a line of sky.

A line of sky stretches up to the mountainside and down to the bottom of the valley, but the width is only enough for one person to pass sideways, and both sides are smooth stone walls with nowhere to exert force.There is no light or shadow in the line of sky, but there are many hidden weapons laid by Jianzong. What's more, because of the closed mountains and rocks on both sides, if there is even the slightest sound in the line of sky, the guards at the exit of the valley can hear it clearly .

Think about it, in the slit where even turning around is not allowed, avoiding the hidden weapon of the mechanism, and not being able to make the slightest sound, so as not to be caught by the guards, this is simply...

But Leng Tong chose this path, she didn't want to enter through the main entrance, not only because she didn't want to hurt the innocent, but also because she didn't want to show her face in front of others.Maybe this is... the last waywardness before death?

It is heard that there are no guards at the entrance of the first line of Tianshan Mountain, and there are at most two guards at the exit of the bottom of the valley.Leng Tong analyzed: If that's the case, then use the throwing knife to smash the hidden weapon, and then try to break through the sky in one go, trying to knock it down before the guard realizes it.

Removing the guards is not a problem, the problem is whether you can break through this line of sky in one breath.

Can it be possible, then it can only depend on luck.Leng Tong smiled wryly.

Taking a deep breath, Leng Tong took out the three-leaf flying knife.

But at the moment when the flying knife was about to make a move, a voice came from within the sky: "Ridiculous! Unreasonable!" Hearing this voice, the other party seemed to be beating the rocks while complaining, with a slight tone of voice. Drunk, "I, Liu Lu, treat her with the heart of the morning dew, the world can learn from the sun and the moon, how can she, for the sake of something big, drive me here to guard a ray of sky where only birds shit?"

Yo, it's still a vindictive alcoholic guard.Look at the current posture, probably won't notice the movement here, right?With that in mind, Leng Tong acted.

"Chestnut, do you think she is an asshole?" The guard's voice.

"Meow—" a cat meowed.

sulfuric acid!Leng Tong dodged a horizontal arrow.

"Eh? Chestnut, what do you mean? Am I wrong?" The guard seemed to drink again, "Chestnut, even you treat me like this? Who did I, Liu Lu, provoke? You don't want Xiaoyu Done, huh? Well, I'll keep the drinks by myself."

"Meow—" the cat complained.

Bang!Leng Tong dodged the knife.

"Hey! This is mine!!" The guard seemed to be far away from the exit, "Where are you going? Ah? Mine! My appetizer!"

"Meow—" the cat cheered.

Boom!Leng Tong bypassed the incoming hammer.

The exit was right in front of her eyes, Leng Tong drew out her right knife, and flew towards the back of the guard with the back of the knife, trying to hit the back of the head of the guard not far away, but by coincidence, a group of furry things flew towards her. It is about to hit a nearby organ.

"Ah! Chestnut!! You can't go there! I don't want to see the knife and fork cat!!" The guard screamed and turned around, chasing after the cat.

The corner of Leng Tong's mouth twitched, and in desperation, he turned around to stop Mao'er, put one arm in his arms, and walked out of the sky together.

"Ah..." The guard just stood in front of Leng Tong, and she opened her mouth wide.

"The cat is fine." Although he said so, the knife in Leng Tong's hand was placed on the guard's neck.

"Ah..." The guard hurriedly touched the saber on his waist, while still not forgetting to look at the cat in Leng Tong's arms.But the saber was placed on a rock not far away, with a jar of wine and a plate of dried fish scattered, while the cat was lying comfortably in Leng Tong's arms, without any concern for the safety of its owner mean.

Leng Tong moved the knife with a dark face, "However, you may have something to do." He finished the first half of the sentence.

"Ah," it seemed that the guard finally realized her own situation, but she touched the blade around her neck in an unreasonable manner, and asked in a daze, "Iron?"

"Huh?" Is this guard a fool?

It was the first time for Leng Tong to feel such a strange insult after being on mission for so many years.

But the next moment, she only felt a numbness in her body and lost consciousness.

"It has been said that the handle of a knife should not be made of iron, so why does no one believe it?" This was the guard's voice, and it was also the last sentence Leng Tong heard before falling to the ground.

The author has something to say:

Well, to tell you the truth, Leng Tong was dizzy from anger (serious face).
