Death Princess

Tick.

Leng Tong woke up.

Are you still alive?

While searching for the memory before losing consciousness, while carefully searching for consciousness, Leng Tong found that his limbs had no strength at all.

So it looks like she's been drugged, she thought.Why did Jianzong capture him but not kill himself?Could it be that he was planning to pry something out of his mouth?But how could Jianzong not know the way of handling affairs of the dark cabinet, how could he not know that the assassins of the dark cabinet only know the mission, not the employer?

So, if it's not for the employer's information, it's for... using yourself to put pressure on the secret cabinet?Thinking of this, and thinking of the Ou Shi siblings in the dark pavilion whose lives were still in danger, Leng Tong couldn't help being startled, but he still pretended to be unconscious and listened to the movements around him calmly.She found that there was someone beside her.

Leng Tong licked the wisdom tooth in his mouth where the pill should have been hidden, and searched for other things hidden on his body.

Look at this, everything on him has been taken away, even the bone whistle...

What should I do now?

"Don't pretend, just open your eyes when you wake up," the person beside Lengtong said when Leng Tong was thinking hard, "Don't think about committing suicide or escaping. The things have already been confiscated by us, and the medicine we gave you is enough to make it difficult for you to move a finger within three days."

Leng Tong opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a man in a white brocade robe. "Why didn't you just kill me?" Leng Tong discovered that although her voice was a little softer, she could actually speak.

"Why did you kill you?" The man's face was full of doubts, as if this question was so unreasonable.

"What do you want?" The attitude of the other party made Leng Tong more convinced of the speculation just now.

"Hey, look at you," the man smacked his lips, "Why are you so tense? This is not your secret pavilion. We Jianzong are not interested in doing any bloody things. Binding you and drugging you are just It’s just to prevent you from escaping. Besides, I know which of you secret cabinet killers came out of hell? Want to pry something out of your mouth? Oh, I don’t have time to ask for trouble.”

Seeing that Leng Tong's eyes were still full of vigilance, "You just stay here, not only will we not do anything to you, but we will also feed you with good wine and food. Be content, this treatment is better than that of the Dark Pavilion Ten times a hundred times. Of course, if you are grateful to Dade and are willing to talk to me about the story of your trip, I will be honored."

Leng Tong wanted to say something, but the sudden sharp pain in her chest forced her to clenched her teeth.

It broke out, the poison of the dark cabinet.

This is a new rule since Na Wumian became the pavilion master. Every killer must take this poison before going on a mission.This poison can't even be solved by Wumian himself. Once it occurs, he will die within five hours, and the pain it causes is so painful that even a killer of Leng Tong's level can't make a sound, let alone leak a little bit It's confidential.

"Why, you came to assassinate our young suzerain, but our Jianzong treats you well, don't you still have some dissatisfaction?" The man seemed not aware of Leng Tong's current situation, but just took her suddenly stiffened expression as a Pure disdain for words.

Assassinate the young suzerain?

The pain didn't slow down Leng Tong's thinking. She analyzed sensitively. There are so many people in the Sword Sect, especially at this juncture before the martial arts conference. , Clover Flying Knife, and Bone Whistle, there is only one mission token left, and the scroll is destroyed after reading it. How do they know their target?

"you……"

"Senior Brother Wen!" A voice from a distance interrupted the man's words. It sounded like the little guard who kept the cat came.

By the way, little guard, how did she bring herself down?Enduring the severe pain, Leng Tong reluctantly turned her head to look at the source of the sound: the visitor was still dressed in the same outfit as when she first met in Yixiantianxia, ​​and the white cat named "Chestnut" was still lying on her shoulder.

"Hey!" The guard stopped in front of Chao Lu, pointed at Leng Tong with an exaggerated look, and said nothing for a long time, "Senior Brother Wen, Brother Wen, you are, but, hey, hey! Hurry up, hurry up Come on, put her down!"

"Huh?" The man rubbed the back of his head in bewilderment, "But... Young Master wants to see her?"

"Ah, do you still care about who wants to see her now? Brother, if you don't release her and send her to see a doctor, she will die. Let's see how the young master will deal with you then." The guard said, then He reached out and snatched the key from the man without saying hello, "Give it to me quickly, I will take her to the doctor! The young suzerain has entrusted me with full responsibility for her affairs. If she dies, I will How should we deal?"

Seeing that the man still had an expression of disbelief, the guard stomped his feet anxiously, "Don't worry, brother, when did I ever lie to you, Lu? Besides, it's such a big deal, an assassin who wants to assassinate the young suzerain."

"Since it is the order of the young suzerain..." The man handed out the key in doubt, but he withdrew his hand the next moment, "Wait, no, haven't you been driven to guard the sky?"

"...Yes, it is precisely because I guard the sky that the young master will leave this matter to me," the guard was in a hurry, and he turned his wrist, and before Leng Tong could see clearly, he skillfully got the key into his hand "I caught her." While untying Leng Tong, she continued to reassure the man.

"...That's right." The man nodded dully, seemingly convinced by the guard's words.

Leng Tong was puzzled by the two monks, and was arrested by his little guard on his back, and led out of the dungeon.

. . .

The person's breathing became heavier and heavier, and Zhao Lu could already feel her pain through the ups and downs of her back.

Take her out when she is poisonous, a stick and a piece of candy, this is Chaolu's strategy to subdue her, but at this moment, after feeling the unbearable pain of the person on her back, for some reason, Chaolu started I regret it.

Chao Lu, Zhao Lu, even after eight years, you are still the same, Zhao Lu smiled wryly in her heart, you thought you had wrapped up your heart, but in fact, after eight years, you are still fighting against each other indiscriminately ...

She hurt you, her companion hurt your brother and killed Uncle Palm.Why can't you hate her?Just because she spared your life?Forgive the life that should have belonged to you?

Forget it, forget it, one cannot lose one's nature while living in this world, can't he?

Zhao Lu quickened her pace, and even disregarded Han Shuangxue's instructions, and used her true energy to do light work.

At this moment, the person on the back spoke, "What... do you want to do?" Every word she uttered seemed to exhaust all the strength in her body.

"Don't talk if you can't talk." For some reason, Zhao Lu was a little angry, "You save your energy and live a little longer, so that you can repay my kindness for risking your life to release you from the dungeon."

"You, let me go?" As these words came out, Zhao Lu felt the unknown pressure behind her.

"Could it be possible? Could it be that you really thought that the young suzerain would let me, a little guy guarding the sky, deal with you, an assassin who tried to take her life?" Zhao Lu curled her lips, as if she had guessed what Leng Tong was thinking. "Smack, don't ask me why I know that you want to kill the young master. No matter what, this is the sword sect. If you can't even get this bit of information, then you have to Give up this 'first'. So, you came here to die."

"Who... are you? Why did you let me go?"

"Me, who in the Sword Sect doesn't know me, Liu Lu? I was chosen as the young lord's personal bodyguard and grew up with her. I'm going to guard the mountain." Zhao Lu confirmed Leng Tong's situation from the corner of her eye, and then continued to talk to Hu Qin, "As for why I saved you, didn't you save Chestnut? Life for life. Besides, I I also really want to see that guy Zhaolu's expression when he knows you're gone."

"..." Leng Tong didn't know whether it was too painful to speak, or because she was tossed by Zhao Lu's nonsense and didn't know how to answer.

Just when Leng Tong finally gathered enough energy to say something, Zhao Lu suddenly turned a corner and stopped beside a big banyan tree.She put her cold pupils lightly on the ground, and said: "Wait here, don't move, I will come when I go." After speaking, she walked away in two or three steps.

In the distance, Wei Zhuoer, dressed as the "Young Sovereign", came over.

"Alu..."

"See the Young Sect Master." Zhao Lu directly interrupted Wei Zhuo'er's words, and after saluting uprightly, pointed to the banyan tree where Leng Tong was.

"Ah," Wei Zhuoer understood what Zhao Lu meant, she coughed dryly twice, and put on the airs of the "young suzerain" again, "It's midnight, why are you here? Could it be that itchy skin wants to go back to guard the sky gone?"

"Well, let's go for a walk when you have nothing to do. Why, Young Master, you don't even allow me to take a walk?"

"Forget it, let's get down to business, I have something to do with you, and I heard that you are coming here, so I followed." Wei Zhuoer winked, saw Chaolu nodded, and then continued, "Ah...cough , General Ning sent a letter just now, saying that he has arrived in Lingzhou."

"Ah? Young master, are you planning to send me to be the secret guard of the court official?" Chao Lu waved her hand, "If you don't go, what's the point? How can the safety of a great general need us as a grassroots person?" Worried? Today, His Majesty is most taboo about court officials and people from all over the world. At that time, it will be thankless, and you will have to be charged with decapitation. If you don’t go, I won’t go even if you kill me!” After saying that, he shook his robe, He walked away without looking back.

"Hey, you...it doesn't matter." After finishing speaking, Wei Zhuoer waved his sleeve pretending to be angry, and left the place.

What Ah Lu meant was that it is not appropriate for Jianzong to send someone to meet him, Wei Zhuoer thought as he walked, and hoped that nothing would happen to A Niang and Zhuo Xuan because of the long journey.

At the same time, Zhao Lu had already returned to the big banyan tree, and ran wildly again with Leng Tong on her back.

. . .

Leng Tong didn't know how far this little guard called Liu Lu ran behind her back, she only knew two things: first, this Liu Lu was very skilled in martial arts, and she didn't feel breathless after traveling over mountains and ridges for a long time; Liu Lu should be really as she said, she is an incredible figure under the Young Sect Master of Jianzong, because all the people of Jianzong met along the way saluted her, even the guards at the gate of the West Valley were respectful to her, Not only did he not intend to stop him at all, he didn't even ask where he was going.

For the first time in his life, being carried and protected by someone like this, Leng Tong actually didn't know how to feel.Maybe it's because people tend to expose their vulnerable side when they are in pain. At this moment, Leng Tong actually had a kind of undue trust and expectation for this person who is behind his back.

Leng Tong, you are an assassin, a killer!It's a knife, and a knife shouldn't tempt your heart, not even your heart!

Leng Tong bit the tip of her tongue, the piercing pain on the tip of her tongue was accompanied by the poisonous pain, which woke her up.She gave up the idea just now, and changed back to the heartless and ruthless secret of the secret cabinet - killing her.

What's next?Did he get rid of Liu Lu after his body recovered and continue the assassination mission?No, it can't, assassinating the young master of the Sword Sect when the poison is onset is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.Is that rushing back to the dark pavilion to accept punishment before dying?Or are you pinning your hopes on this little guard, hoping that she can find a way to detoxify?

is it possible?Is it credible?

"Assassinate the young master of the Sword Sect, Zhao Lu, and those who obstruct him will be killed."

Or is it safer to get rid of her?

"Does it hurt?" The man said, scaring Leng Tong, who was planning on her life, "be patient, it's almost here. If you really can't bear it, maybe I have a way to help you relieve the pain , but you may lose consciousness again. If you trust me, move your hand to my neck, not through the clothes."

lose consciousness?Relieve pain?What does she mean?

"Don't worry, it's not completely unconscious. In fact, it's like light sleep. You can notice small movements but won't wake up. But as long as there are big movements outside, with your vigilance, you will definitely wake up." She was still talking. , her voice was soft, with a kind of care that Leng Tong had never heard before, a kind of impurity, "Trust me, I will be there soon after you sleep. With your current situation, I have no reason to count you. Besides, I'm not that mean."

Letter... her?

Maybe she was dizzy from the pain, but Leng Tong really moved her hand to the man's neck by some coincidence.

A tingling warm current came from the fingertips, suppressing the severe pain in the heart.

The heart relaxed, the eyelids became heavy, and Leng Tong fell asleep.

Rare, no dreams and no fear, she slept soundly and soundly.
