Death Princess

"So, eight years ago..." He Yi didn't know which question to ask.

"Eight years ago," Leng Tong looked down at his finger, to be precise, it was the sixth finger that no longer existed, "I was just a killer at the bottom of the Dark Pavilion, and that was my first mission The order I received was to intercept and kill the fish that slipped through the net nearby, and I don't know... who the person I'm going to kill is, and I'm not even qualified to know the identity of the person in charge of that mission, let alone the client."

He Yi was not surprised by Leng Tong's answer, but nodded, motioning for her to continue.

"But if Wumian didn't lie, then the person in charge that day should be him who became the new boss. According to him, at that time, before the dark pavilion, a group of people had already entered..." Dare not Looking into He Yi's eyes, "Break into the residences of King Jing and King Ji. The dark pavilion, who was a step late, just picked up a leak, and sent half of the people to intercept it on the outside, and half of them rushed in, trying to find the legend in the chaos." The imperial prince's secret edict, but in the end they couldn't find anything, but the man in black who was assassinated and committed suicide on the spot poured sewage."

"The two forces are no different from what we found three years ago." He Yi nodded. "At that time, the prince was only twelve years old, so he couldn't make any big waves, but the Yang family behind him was different." Thinking After thinking about it, He Yi suddenly changed his words and explained the intricate network of relationships in the capital, "Although the crown prince was apparently born of Empress Liu, for some unknown reason, he grew up under the knees of Concubine Yang since he was a child. The Liu family is different, the reason why they can occupy the position of one of the two prime ministers on the left and right is that there are inevitably some things that cannot be put on the table, and the frightening Yang family's secret guard is one of them."

"The secret guard of the Yang family is also the birthplace of the present crown prince's secret guard. Although the two have their own masters now, eight or even ten years ago, the secret guard of the Yang family," seems to have something to say Meaning, He Yi deliberately paused before continuing, "It is one of the biggest temptations for the prince to attach himself to the Yang family, and it is also the best weapon for the Yang family to eliminate obstacles and support the prince to come to power."

"In contrast, King Ping, who was nearly young and weak at that time, was very different. He was older than the prince, and theoretically he should have thought and ability to plan everything, but he was a polished prince. Therefore, we deduced," He Yi moved. His body was numb, and the wounds on his body no longer hurt due to the effect of the medicine. "The client behind the dark pavilion is King Guanggan Ping, and the first killers to arrive are the Yang family's dark guards."

"That's why Sister Lu was invited to Jiang Tang's office banquet three years ago. She wanted to confirm that guess, and..." and to confirm the location of Princess Liuzhi, after glancing at Leng Tong, He Yi skipped over. A message, and said, "But now it seems that this guess may be wrong, and it is outrageous."

"Jiang Tang and Wu Mian's appointments took place three years ago, but in fact, as early as eight years ago, the former Shadow Gate Sect Master and the Dark Pavilion Master were already gradually evacuated, right? They cannot be fully controlled. The assassination of the current prince by the sect of Jianghu, this kind of thing that anyone with a little brain would not do easily, did not happen because there was no one in the hands of King Ping, but because the Shadow Gate was something he could control at that time. of."

Listening to He Yi's analysis, Leng Tong frowned unknowingly, she found that He Yi seemed to have omitted something on purpose.She realized that a thought was gradually forming in her mind, a thought that was terribly frightening to think about.

"However, fortunately, it's not too late to know about this now. I owed a big gift to the prince's brother before, and I can just use the story of Ping Wang's brother and that He Kunshu to make up for it." What a horrible plan, but just discussing the rouge and gouache from the daughter's house.

Seeing that Leng Tong still looked unrelieved, He Yi patted her hand, "Sister, don't worry, the night will pass soon, I guess Brother Hui and the others will come looking for it before dawn."

"Huh?" Leng Tong didn't respond.

"I forgot to tell my sister just now, although it's useless," He Yi pointed to his forehead, where a faint silver light shone, "but I'm still a phantom."

Leng Tong was taken aback, "But you are..."

"It's true that I'm the only daughter of King Jing, but does my sister know that the spirit feathers of the Lingzu can be transplanted to others?"

Leng Tong shook his head, nodded, then shook his head again.

Seeing this, He Yi smiled, like a little girl showing off a token of love, "My spirit feather was given by brother Hui, so, to a certain extent, he can feel my state. And just now Didn't I swallow Shuangxue's flame beads? Spiritual power and spiritual power can interact with each other, so when I swallow the flame beads, Shuangxue should sense the phantom feathers on my body. She knows that her flame Therefore, we know where we are now."

"Brother Hui just left Jianzong not long ago, and hurried back to the capital to attend the prince's birthday banquet. He should not be far from here now. The reason why he hasn't been found is probably because the location of Yanzhu is a bit wide, and it will take some time to search. That's all. But no matter what," He Yi straightened up and faced Leng Tong, "this time, if my sister hadn't rescued me, I..."

Leng Tong covered her forehead with one hand, and stopped He Yi from thanking her with the other, because she couldn't bear it, "Mo..."

"Sister, one yard is worth one yard. The grace of saving a life is the grace of saving a life. I hope my sister will accept Xia Yi'er..." After speaking, she was about to stand up and salute.

"Yi'er."

It was the first time I heard these two words appearing in Leng Tong's mouth, and He Yi, who proposed this name, was stunned.

"Yi'er." Leng Tong just repeated the call, lowered his head, "Yi'er." But everything was kept silent.

Looking at Leng Tong's low eyebrows for a long time, looking at her translucent eyes, He Yi took a deep breath, "Okay," nodded, "Sister's meaning, Yi'er understands. You and I All the past events between the two, from this moment on, will be revealed, I will not thank you any more, and my sister will not apologize anymore, okay?"

Leng Tong hesitated and nodded.

"Then..." He Yi looked into Leng Tong's eyes tentatively, "Sister, would you like...and Yi'er...to become real...sisters?" Real sisters.

Leng Tong didn't answer.

After a while without seeing Leng Tong's reaction, He Yi smiled wryly and shook his head, "Sister, you..." If you can't even accept this, how will you accept your true identity in the future?When will you let go of all your defenses?If you can't even let go of your defenses, what will Sister Lu do?

"Since you are like this, then as a sister who is a little older than you..." Leng Tong suddenly spoke, unexpectedly.

He Yi's pupils suddenly enlarged following the appearance of the word "sister" in Leng Tong's mouth.

"My sister who is so much older than you, I have to say some things and guesses," Leng Tong raised her head, and for the first time, met He Yi's gaze unsuspectingly, "I'm a rough girl." People, I don’t know about your royal disputes, but there is one thing that a rough man like me realized in a rough way, something that you may have missed, or it may just be inconvenient to mention.”

"Sister," He Yi changed his name slightly with his nose on his face, "please tell me."

"What you just said about eight years ago, you speculate that His Highness the Crown Prince and King Ping are behind the scenes." The words were shocking, but Leng Tong's eyes showed the calmness of a bystander, "Then you Have you ever wondered why His Majesty summoned the two kings back to Beijing with an imperial decree? To put it bluntly, did His Majesty foresee what would happen to his elder brother and younger brother when he wrote the imperial decree? If he really believed in brotherly love, why? After five years, did you send King Ping, who was already full of suspicions, to investigate what happened that year?"

"Is it possible?" Leng Tong's calm eyes and tone of matter-of-fact matter put in He Yi's heart and ears, but it was even more terrifying than the torture instruments in the prison cell. "I'm just talking about a possibility. Don't mind me. I... I heard that His Majesty has been ill for a long time, so... Is it possible that His Majesty did this on purpose, using a majestic imperial edict to lure the snake out of the hole, and then get rid of the two with the help of various forces that are eyeing the tiger? A stab in the heart. Everything is just for what he has already decided in his heart, the crown prince, the heir."

For the crown prince, pull out all potential threats.

"Sister, you..." Do you know what you are talking about?do you know...you...

But He Yi couldn't express the various emotions and thoughts in his heart, because he suddenly covered her mouth tightly with his hand.

. . .

"Here! Search!!"

The torches lit up the forest before dawn, and they hunted down the assassins in the dark pavilion in the middle of the night. Finally, at this juncture, they found the hiding place of He Yi and Leng Tong.Four lights illuminated the cave, and at the same time, a group of four men in black broke into the place where the two sisters had been sheltered for half the night.

The cave is empty?This is the first reaction of the killers.But the next moment, they saw the medicine bottle and blood-stained cloth strips thrown in the corner of the cave, and even He Yi who was shivering in the shadows.They slowly raised their knives and walked towards He Yi, but only heard a slap, and something dropped on the ground.Before they could see the color of the thing clearly, they relied on their killer instincts to look up at the top of the cave. They saw the cold pupil hanging on the top like a bat, but it was already too late.

Four stabs, four people fell in a pool of blood.

The bloody scene that hadn't completely left his mind reappeared, but the reality didn't give He Yi any transition time.As soon as the four killers fell to the ground without a sound, there were many footsteps not far from the cave.Without even thinking about it, Leng Tong carried He Yi on his back and killed him again.She threw the remaining Flame Beads and Magic Beads into the distant woods, using fire and hallucinations to hold back the killers' footsteps, while she ran in the opposite direction with He Yi on her back.

It was running for life all the way, claiming life all the way.Unknowingly, Leng Tong's knife slowed down, and countless new injuries were added to his body, but He Yi on his back was still protected by her unscathed.

Just when another batch of killers approached, when Leng Tong hid He Yi in the snow and was ready to fight to the death to lure the killers away with himself, the killers' knives suddenly turned towards their companions.

In an unimaginable cannibalism, after all the nearby killers fell under the knife of their companions, there were two figures walking into the woods with Li Ming: without saying a word, they nodded at Leng Tong and then rushed to He Yi's, Qin Hui; and those who wiped the blood on the knife and didn't dare to look forward, there is no such thing as Shishi.
