Ultimate Assassin System

When people are hanging around outside, the most important thing is that there are people above and people below. This is what is called being able to attack and withstand...

Cough cough...cough cough...

Well, actually what Tang En wants to say is, a good sign - your sister!

He climbed up from the ravine beside the road with a gray face, panting heavily, and glanced briefly. The small raid just now was over. There were more than ten corpses of Bran scouts lying on the ground not far away, with blood spreading. There was a familiar green-armored giant wolf circling around, seeming to be considering where to bite. Oh, and there are two unlucky Dark Snake Guards who were turned into hedgehogs by crossbow arrows...

I touched my cheek, and it was wet. It was a few bloody wounds from the previous fall. Well, it was intentional.

How are you, brother Saba, are you hurt? The person who came over was a middle-aged barbarian with bright yellow hair. He was from the War Lion Tribe and was also the top officer of the intelligence team at the moment.

Tang En shook his head indifferently: It's okay, thank you for your concern. Well, are you okay, sir? Of course he was fine. When the raid just started, he was guarded by a group of dark snake guards. As for Tang En himself, although he had long been aware of the arrival of Bran's raiding team, he thought that he was just an ordinary barbarian and no one could attack him, so he didn't care. Who would have thought that as soon as the battle started, he would be the one taken care of the most by the first round of crossbow arrows. Immediately after he rolled to the ground, those Bran scouts kept rushing towards him like crazy, forcing him to roll into the ravine by himself...Crack!

Haha, it's okay. Probably because he knew that Tang En was highly regarded by the general, the middle-aged barbarian officer seemed very kind and patted Tang En affectionately on the shoulder, This is still within the scope of a war zone. We are alone like this. Our team is easily attacked, and it will be much safer if we walk a little further... In short, just get used to it.

Understood. He nodded, and then Tang En scratched his head again, It's just. Why did all these Bran soldiers attack me?

Oh, this is about... The middle-aged barbarian officer looked a little strange when he heard this. Without saying anything, he pointed at the giant blue-armored wolf that was eating the corpse not far away.

Tang En looked along and was stunned for a moment, then his mouth twitched and he understood instantly.

Oh, he was killed by this beast!

is not that right? The Green Armored Giant Wolf is such a high-end and showy mount in the Northern Wilderness. Anyone who sits on it will be mistaken for a big shot, and will also be regarded as the first target of attack by Bran's soldiers!

What the hell is this a good sign? He is clearly a scourge of ridicule! With a livid face, Tang En walked over, kicked away the green-armored giant wolf that was eating happily, and cursed: You are really not a thing! Are you the one who protects the master as a mount? A native dog is so special I'm doing better than you! Still staring! Bite me... Remember, you are the mount and I am the master. I have a higher status than you now, so you have to protect me. Don't make this happen to me again , I will stew you immediately...

Tang En cursed furiously, and the blue-armored giant wolf looked at each other inexplicably. This scene seemed very funny and strange. But gradually. The expressions of the Dark Snake Guards who were gloating about their misfortune changed a bit. The more they listened, the more unpleasant they became. It felt as if these words were pointed at their noses and scolded.

In the raid just now. Although Tang En received the most special care because of the blue-armored giant wolf, after he avoided the first round of crossbow arrows, he should have been fine. Because his position is in the center of the team, it is actually difficult to attack him at close range. But at that time, the surrounding Dark Snake Guards all rushed to the middle-aged barbarian officer and exposed him directly... With such a tacit reaction, no one believed it even if they swore that there was no evil in it.

The reason for this situation is simple. It is simply that Tang En's move of stepping on the three Dark Snake Guards last night caused too much hatred. This caused great dissatisfaction and secret jealousy among the Dark Snake Guards who also came from the Hidden Snake Tribe!

certainly. Just like Tang En used this slightly innocent green-armored giant wolf to criticize Sang and Huai, the little moves were all done in secret. These dark snake guards did not dare to do anything obvious. After all, Tang En's current status is indeed a little higher than them. Taking the action just now as an example, even if Tang En died later, they had enough excuses to say that they had gone to protect the middle-aged barbarian officer first and had no responsibility whatsoever.

In this way, if they don't get along with each other and they both know it, they have to use their own methods.

In fact, in terms of tricks, even the Dark Snake Guards of the Hidden Snake Tribe, which is famous for its insidiousness, is nothing more than a dishonorable dish under Tang En...

A few minutes later, crossbow arrows whistled beside the forest.

Enemy attack, enemy attack...protect your lord!

Just a small team, rush in and kill them...

kill……

A quarter of an hour later, boulders rolled down the canyon.

Enemy attack... retreat, retreat... ah!

Damn it, how did you Dark Snake Guards find the way?

Go around and drive them away...

Half an hour later, at the foot of the hill, a large group of Bran scouts ambushed.

Enemy attack...

...You're still yelling like shit, run away!

…

From the mass killing at the beginning, to the exodus without any trouble, to the final panic escape... This intelligence team, under Tang En's guidance intentionally or unintentionally and secretly leaving marks, constantly encountered attacks from the Bran Scouts. s attack. And when small battles were fought one after another, the Dark Snake Guards who accompanied the team began to suffer casualties, and their numbers dropped sharply...

If Temur and the others were here, they might be able to discover something unusual about Tang En. Because you must know that when they sent intelligence before, they were very lucky and came over smoothly. This is in sharp contrast to the current intelligence team that has been unlucky.

But it is a pity that Temur and the others have already turned back to the army to publicize Tang En's good luck. Therefore, although the middle-aged barbarian officer and others also realized that the current situation was abnormal, no one suspected Tang En, who always survived in embarrassment despite near misses. In the end, he only thought that his fate was at stake, and he was depressed and angry.

Fortunately, after this intelligence team was completely crippled and reduced to frightened birds, their luck seemed to have improved, and they no longer encountered the unfortunate situation of being attacked before they could walk a few steps away.

Of course, this is not the credit of the great wild god mentioned by the middle-aged barbarian officer, but Tang En also realized that something was wrong. According to common sense, their current position is indeed not completely out of the war zone. It is normal to encounter the Bran scout team, but the frequency is too high now, just like behind the barbarian army. It seems like there are Bran scouts lurking on every inch of the land...

This was of course abnormal. In fact, had Tang En not intervened secretly, the intelligence team would have been full. You may not be able to reach your destination safely.

It was not difficult to understand, Tang En thought about it. I can roughly guess the reason. The current somewhat senseless war should have been ordered by Wooding, with the purpose of creating a better assassination environment for him. However, Wooding believes in him, but the frontline army may not. Besides, putting eggs in one basket is never the best plan, so Bran's army may also want to use this to lock in the position of the mysterious barbarian commander and make a comeback...

Taking advantage of the situation is double insurance.

After realizing this problem, Tang En naturally did not dare to use tricks anymore. Instead, we must once again provide escort services for this intelligence team. Otherwise, if he is the only one left, he will not know where his destination is...

Well, after going around in a circle and going back to the starting point, and even putting himself in, Tang En felt helpless that he had lost his way...

…

A small town, a former Bran noble manor in Dongcheng District.

Tiwu, you didn't listen to what I said before... You were so rude just now. His Highness Lansha came to greet you. You shouldn't have that attitude in front of a group of veterans... They are all from different tribes. A powerful person. If this creates a bad impression on you, it will be very detrimental to your future......

That's enough! Tiu, who looked like he was tired of traveling, suddenly shouted loudly as he stepped into the hall of the manor. He punched the thick wooden door with a fierce bang and a ferocious expression.

After a pause, the slightly chatty words suddenly disappeared. The barbarian officers who followed him looked at each other and silently exited the hall. Only a middle-aged officer still stood with a frown, silently looking at Tiu who took a deep breath and said nothing.

Huh... I know, Uncle Yuan Fang, you are doing it for my own good, I know it. Thank you, I'm sorry. He took a long breath. The violent look disappeared instantly, and Tiwu rubbed his brows. Turning around and spreading his hands, he said calmly, But what do you want me to do? Bow down and surrender to my smart sister, grovel? Haha, you know, I don't mind doing it if it is useful. But...

Shaking his head, It's useless. These veterans have looked down on me now, and they won't look down on me in the future. So, what's the use of their impressions on me?

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged officer known as Yuan Fang said again: The matter has not reached that point yet, we can still fight for it...

Still shaking his head, Haha, don't think about it, it's useless. And don't talk about them, Uncle Yuan Fang, your family should have told you to stay away from me... Yes, I know, Uncle Yuan Fang, you didn't Agree. We have experienced life and death together. Last year I was defeated and captured in Xiongguan City. I wanted to commit suicide. It was you who persuaded me to give up this idea...

I'm very grateful to you, and thank you for thinking so highly of me, Tiwu. But they are different... Smiling to himself, Tiwu looked up to the west, towards the city lord's palace, and licked his lips, In their opinion, Hey, I’m a bastard!”

Yuan Fang frowned: Tiwu...

He waved his hand to interrupt, Listen to me, uncle, I know you are going to say that this is just a rumor, it has not been confirmed, and my mother has not... forget it. I don't care about it now, I really don't care. I just I want to laugh a little bit... Look, how ridiculous, just such a statement can make the first heir throne that has been stable for decades under my butt collapse, and make me the target of public criticism. Haha...

Seeing that Ti Wu seemed to be showing signs of madness again, Yuan Fang interrupted: Then why are we rushing back this time?

It's very simple. Just like Uncle Yuan Fang often said, come here to please this smart sister so that she won't kill me after she takes over, or hand it over to Bran... Oh, by the way, if it is handed over to Bran, I Maybe there will be a good future. After all, I am the heir of their military god, and I am still the only heir, so I should not be treated badly...

Waving his arms and looking playful, Tiu's entire body language was very exaggerated and deliberate. He paused immediately, looked at Yuan Fang with a solemn expression, realized something, and couldn't help but smile again, Ha, Uncle Yuan Fang, you are a little nervous. What are you worried about? Will I start a rebellion? Please, we don't have any troops when we come back this time. If you stay there and fight with those damn Gray Army, aren't you just afraid that it will make me, a smart sister, and this group of veterans think too much?

...I'm sorry, Tiu, I didn't mean...

I know, I know, uncle, you have always been good for me and were afraid that I would be impulsive. Tiwu smiled again. Then help me agree to that smart sister's invitation. Let's go have dinner at noon, right? No problem, just ask me to clean up and go.

Yuan Fang was startled when he heard this. He hesitated and nodded. Bow and leave.

Seeing Yuan Fang disappear at the gate, Tiwu shrugged and took a breath, seeming to relax a lot, and murmured to himself: I'm sorry, Uncle Yuan Fang, I lied to you... I'm still not willing to accept it...

Tiu is indeed unwilling to do so, of course, no matter who is in his position. Even if you think about it, you won't be reconciled.

The truth is like this, if there is no hope from the beginning, then there will be no despair after failure, let alone despair. But when a person is taught the power of kings since childhood, everyone around him will regard him as the next emperor of the empire, and he also thinks so. In the end, all of this suddenly disappeared, or because of a rumor that has not been confirmed, everyone will be driven crazy...

Smart sister... Why can't you be dumber if you are always so smart... This puts a lot of pressure on me as a brother...

Honestly. Tiu didn't have much of a problem with Lansha, and he still doesn't. Even before, he had always been vaguely proud of this extremely smart sister. The relationship between the brother and sister has always been good. But when the rumors about that bastard came out and his status as heir was no longer stable, and when Lansha, with her always smart and wise voice, became more and more popular among the tribes to become the next queen, everything changed.

It's that simple, the stance is different. As a brother and sister, no matter how outstanding the sister is, his brother will not be jealous, but will have the responsibility to praise and pamper her. Will find a way to meet all my sister's requirements. But when the two stood on the throne and became direct competitors. Family ties are no longer important...and may even become the fuse that ignites hatred!

for example. Tiwu and the Queen of Beihuang now...

Look, because of your excellence, Mother has chosen to remain silent... No, this is acquiescence! By default, I will deprive my son of his inheritance rights, and then push you to the throne... Haha, Mother, Queen, what on earth are you doing? Think, something, something!”

Compared to Lansha, Tiwu's current anger towards the Queen of the Northern Wilderness, or the feeling of betrayal, is undoubtedly stronger.

The whole thing, including the three times Zi Yi forcibly broke into the Northern Wasteland Imperial City and shouted Come out to see me, and later Lansha showed faint signs of ascending to power, as the center point of all events and the storm of public opinion, the Queen of the Northern Wasteland , and never said anything because of it.

It neither admitted that there was a problem with Tiu's origin, nor confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Tiu's origin.

This was supposed to be a balanced situation that wouldn't affect anything. But in Tiu's view, this is undoubtedly acknowledgment that Lansha will become the next queen.

Because this is the fact, because she didn't speak out, everyone thought that the family scandal should not be made public, and they concluded that Tiwu was her and Ziyi's child. Because of her silence, the group of people who temporarily chose to stand behind Lansha were even more convinced that their choice was right, because the Queen also acquiesced...

She didn't say anything, she didn't need to say anything, and no one dared to force her to say it. But this is a deep, deep betrayal for Tiu!

Shaking his head, I can't imagine, I can't guess... Mother, I can never guess what you are thinking... But, if this smart sister dies... Haha, will you be as I expected?

This is not wishful thinking. There are only two heirs. If it becomes one, there will naturally be no choice.

Yes, Tiwu did have murderous intentions, and he thought he was forced to do so.

Of course, whether it was from an emotional point of view or from the subsequent impact of killing his sister, it was decided that Titawu could not do it himself. Tiu didn't even think about going into battle himself, he was thinking about killing someone with a borrowed knife...

As I said before, Tiu is not a fool. In fact, he is also a qualified army commander. Therefore, if Lansha can think of some not-so-complex problems, he can naturally do the same. For example, the real reason why Bran's military suddenly launched this suicide attack... His judgment was completely consistent with Lansha, so he came.

To be honest, Tiu admired the big man in Bran who implemented this grand plan, but he did not believe that the Bran assassins or the Bran army that followed could kill his smart sister.

The reason is not only because this sister has always been full of schemes and tricks, but also because of some other key factors.

Because of his status, Tiu always knows more information than others. For example, a certain person who has lived in the imperial city for a long time and was originally an extraordinary expert in protecting my mother was sent to secretly protect this smart sister this time...

Look, it’s so biased!

Smiling, it seemed that he was excited and nervous, or perhaps because he wanted to think of more reasons that could cause anger, so as to alleviate the guilt in his heart. Tiwu leaned against the wooden door, his body trembling slightly, his expression a little distressed, a little crazy!

You forced me, you forced me... Shasha, mother... you know, I have no choice!

Assassination, assassination... It is impossible for the army to encircle and suppress it. Bran's army no longer has the strength to break through the blockade. That is the assassin... Who could it be? Will the sword god Bran come in person? It's best this way! Cut it off with one sword, there will be no pain... …”

Oh, before that, I need to lure that old guy away... Assassinations usually take place at night. What excuse can I use to avoid arousing suspicion? The most important thing is that there will be no backlash after the thing is done... I am also Your Highness, when the time comes He is the only His Highness. All he needs is an excuse. Even if he is suspicious, he will not kill me. He will never kill me... Oh, I remembered... Haha, Uncle Yuan Fang, please help me again... …”
