Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 113 Assassin's Origin
Xin Ziqiu moved his body closer to Mu Guiying, and said in a low voice:
"Marshal, to tell you the truth, I seem to have seen these Assassins before."

Mu Guiying frowned upon hearing this, and turned to look at him:
"What did you say? Where did you see it?"

Xin Ziqiu told everything about the assassination on the Hongqiao that day.

Mu Guiying listened to him quietly, and tightened her hand holding the wine cup slightly, slightly surprised:

"Huo Shan was not the only one sent by Assassin to Song Dynasty? Why did they assassinate you? Have you messed with any big shots?"

Xin Ziqiu shook his head:
"I don't know, I am also very strange. I have lived in seclusion in the mountains with my master since I was a child, and I have never seen outsiders. Mr. Jia is the first person I have seen since I came down the mountain. It is impossible for people from the Assassin sect to know me."

He couldn't tell others that he actually traveled from another world, so he told a harmless little lie, but the conclusion was the same.

Mu Guiying stared at Xin Ziqiu blankly, her eyes became more and more strange.

The young man in front of him is too miraculous, not only has the majestic real energy that is extremely inappropriate for his age, but also the thunder method lost by the ancestor of Huashan School Chen Tuan, and even the mysterious Assassin School is also eyeing him.

Such a character suddenly became involved with the Tianbo Mansion, was it a coincidence, or did he have other plans?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing, secretly feeling ashamed.Xin Ziqiu had helped Tianbo Mansion again and again, so he had calculated too much.

She also thought that since her husband passed away, all the burdens of Tianbo Mansion were on her shoulders.This responsibility has forced a once free-spirited and proud girl into a vulgar person who has to think about her own interests in everything.

Looking at this young man with clear eyes, Mu Guiying sighed faintly, smiled again, and said:

"Are you telling me this because you want to inquire about the origin of the Assassins?"

Xin Ziqiu nodded honestly and said:
"The commander-in-chief really knows people's hearts. I want to know who they are and what they are trying to assassinate me."

Mu Guiying took a sip of the wine, played with the gold-encrusted wine cup and said:
"I'm not good at knowing people's hearts, but I'm just suspicious. I've only been a marshal for a few years, but I've worn out my temper... Well, since you're interested, I'll tell you what I know. speak."

When Yang Jinhua and the others heard that Mu Guiying was going to talk about the origin of the Assassin Sect, they all crowded around curiously and listened to her.

Mu Guiying didn't mind seeing everyone approaching, she smiled slightly and continued:
"A hundred years ago, there were three outstanding figures in Persia, namely Omar, Nizam and Huoshan. Omar was a poet, and he made a lot of achievements in the art of magic. Nizamu was good at the rule of law and power, and Huoshan was good at A body of powerful martial arts and spells."

Yang Jinhua wondered:
"Huo Shan? Is that the guy just now?"

Mu Guiying shook her head and explained:
"This is a history of a hundred years ago. This Huoshan is not the other Huoshan. In fact, among the Persian Semu people, Huoshan is a very common name, and what the guy used just now may not be his real name."

Yang Jinhua suddenly said:

"I see."

Mu Guiying continued:
"Nizham is the oldest and good at government affairs, and finally became the prime minister of the empire, with a high position. Omar and Huo Shan are old friends with him, and they are classmates. They all came to him for inquiries. Nizam also gave them respectively. As a reward, Omar loves learning, and he got a mansion and a large sum of gold every year for his lifelong study of alchemy. Huo Shan was given an official position."

"But this Huo Shan was ambitious. Not long after he got the official position, he formed a party and rebelled. After failing, he was exiled. During his exile, he preached everywhere, and finally got the support of a mysterious organization, occupied a territory, and trained assassins , established a sect called the Assassin Sect, which was so powerful that it could compete with any country at that time."

"The center of their base is on a high and steep mountain in Persia, called 'Eagle Fort'."

"The origin of the mysterious organization that supported him is unknown, but it is said to be extremely old, and can even be traced back to the time of the Prophet Muhammad hundreds of years ago. After the establishment of the Assassin sect, they merged with it, specializing in assassination and Terrorist activities."

"The Assassins are famous for their assassins. They are extremely secretive and good at disguising. They are also very pious. They are not afraid of death and have a fanatical dedication. Most of the assassins caught in the past committed suicide on the spot. It is difficult Leave a trace."

"It is said that in Huoshan's Eagle Castle, there is a paradise, which is filled with fine wine, milk, honey and clear water, as well as charming girls. All the assassins were once invited to enter. Huo Shan will tell them that this is what heaven looks like, as long as they serve the Assassins wholeheartedly and complete the tasks assigned by the organization, they can live here forever after they die. Therefore, the assassins of the Assassins are all desperate, He regards death as home, only has tasks in his eyes, and his strength is terrifying."

After she finished speaking, her mouth was a little dry, and she took a sip of the wine.

Xin Ziqiu has a lot of research on the history of mathematics. When he heard Omar's name, he knew that he was a world-renowned mathematician in Taiwan. He also proposed the solution method of the cubic equation, and he can be regarded as one of the founders of algebra.

As for the other two of the three sages, they are his knowledge blind spots, but listening to Mu Guiying's eloquent account of this historical story, he also found it very interesting, and said with admiration:
"Marshal Mu is really well-informed, even such a secretive Assassin sect can't hide it from you."

Mu Guiying feigned anger and said:

"You kid don't flatter. In fact, the reason why I know so much is because I have dealt with them before. Coincidentally, I was about your age at that time, when I was a teenager..."

When she said this, she raised her head slightly and looked at the sky, as if she was recalling an extremely unforgettable past.

Yang Jinhua was impatient, she stopped when she saw Mu Guiying was halfway through her words, and said hastily:
"Mother, don't be so secretive, tell us the story from the beginning to the end!"

Mu Guiying let out a "huh", still lost in thought, and then said slowly after a long while:

"That period of the past was strange and shocking. I still have lingering fears when I think about it. Thirty years ago, I was still studying art in Lishan. A young girl in her 30s was rescued from robbers by the elders of the sect. They took pity on her miserable life experience, so they brought her to Lishan and kept her under the sect. Although she is not young, she has become a Our little junior sister."

"This girl is charming and charming, and she is so bright and beautiful. From the moment she entered the hall of the sect, it was full of splendor. The brothers present, although they are all practitioners with profound Taoism, were all shocked by her. Since then, this little junior sister has been loved by everyone in the sect, and everyone rushes to take care of her and chat with her to relieve boredom."

Yang Jinhua smiled and said:
"Mother, is this little junior sister more beautiful than you?"

Mu Guiying spat at her with a smile, and scolded:

"No matter how old or young, how do you talk to your mother? Your mother was just a teenage girl at the time. She only knew how to practice kung fu every day, crawling and rolling on the ground, but no one looked good..."

When she saw Yang Jinhua was about to speak again, she stretched out her hand and said:

"Don't interrupt, if you talk again, I won't talk."

Yang Jinhua quickly stopped talking, and Mu Guiying continued:

"A few days later, the incarnation of the master gave us a mission to go to the front line of Xixia to protect a big man. I was born in the green forest. At that time, I had a deep prejudice against the court officials. I thought they were all corrupt officials trying to gain fame. I didn't want to go as a dirty official. But I found out later that the one we wanted to protect was the famous Fan Wenzheng. I heard that it was him, so I reluctantly obeyed my teacher's order to go."

Fan Wenzheng is the famous statesman Fan Zhongyan in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although Xin Ziqiu knew little about history, he still knew about Fan Zhongyan. After all, he had learned the text "Yueyang Tower" in middle school, and he admired and admired his sentence "worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joy later".

Mu Guiying went on to say:

"At that time, Wen Zhenggong guarded the northwest border, built the entire defense line to be watertight, and promoted Di Qing, Zhong Shiheng and other famous generals, who can be called the pillars of our Great Song Dynasty. There was news from the scouts, and the Xixia people were afraid of his ability and sent assassins. To carry out an assassination."

"At that time, our brothers and sisters went to the front line, and when we heard the news, we didn't take it seriously. We thought that no matter how powerful the Xixia assassin was, he was just an ordinary person. How could he get into the siege of the army and assassinate the commander-in-chief? Master sent us here, Totally overkill."

"But it was later discovered that we were completely wrong. On the first night, Mr. Fan Wenzheng encountered an assassin. It becomes almost transparent, can easily hide in the darkness, and the speed is extremely fast, almost like teleportation, just like Huo Shan just now."

Everyone recalled the weird scene when Huo Shan sent the final blow to Xin Ziqiu just now, and they were all startled. If this kind of miraculous movement is in the dark, it is really difficult to guard against. No wonder Mu Guiying will feel like facing a big enemy. Without hesitation, he took out his throwing knife.

Mu Guiying said again:
"At that time, my junior sister and I were guarding Mr. Fan Wenzheng. We were not afraid of your jokes. I was young at the time and thought that no one would dare to assassinate me, so I relaxed and fell asleep. The assassin suddenly appeared in the big tent. Among them, he took a dagger and stabbed Wen Zhenggong with lightning speed."

"I woke up suddenly, but it was too late. I was unprepared for this sudden change, and it was too late to use the throwing knife. But seeing that the assassin was about to succeed, my junior sister had already blocked it In front of Duke Wen Zheng, he blocked the blow with his own body."

"In just a little bit of effort, I came back to my senses and stepped forward to fight with that assassin. The assassin's martial arts were average, far inferior to Huo Shan's today. What he relied on was nothing but his strange body skills, so there was no After more than a dozen rounds, he was wounded and captured by me with a flying knife."

"At this time, the sergeant guarding outside and our other brothers and sisters had also arrived, and they interrogated the assassin together, but found nothing. This man had a Persian face, and he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, as if he only wanted to die The sergeants under Wen Zhenggong used more than a dozen kinds of torture, tortured him to death, but he still couldn't ask a word."

"At first we thought it was because of a language barrier, but later we hired an interpreter and interrogated several languages. In the end, the man said in half-baked Chinese: 'If you want to kill, then kill.' Then he stopped talking, even He won't even reveal his name."

"Just when all of us were helpless, my junior sister suddenly stepped forward and said: 'Everyone, I have a way to ask his details, but this method of extorting a confession is a secret of my family and cannot be leaked. If you trust me , you can avoid it first, and leave him to me alone, and within a cup of tea time, I can ask him the details.'”

"She risked her life to save Wen Zhenggong. At that time, who wouldn't believe her? And since no one can find out why, it's better to leave it to her to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. So everyone nodded in agreement, no matter what Little Junior Sister took the assassin away, and no one stopped her."

"Sure enough, not long after, my junior sister came back alone and told us everything. It turned out that the assassin's name was Hussein, and he came from the Assassin faction. A group of dozens of them came from far away Arabia. It is to plot a big event. They reached some kind of agreement with Li Yuanhao, king of Xixia, to assassinate Duke Fan Wenzheng for him in exchange for something."

"This assassin's status is low, and he only knows so much. As for the specific content, he is not clear at all. In addition, he also explained some of the origins of the Assassins. This is the first time I have heard the name of the Assassins."

"At that time, apart from being shocked by the origin of the assassin, everyone wondered what method the little junior sister used to get the result of the interrogation so quickly. What is strange is that the assassin has since disappeared."

"Little junior sister only said that the assassin was killed by her family's secret method, but she couldn't bring out the body. Therefore, some people suspected that she was in collusion with the assassin, made up something random, and let the assassin go. But I don't believe it. In that case, why should she block that fatal blow for Wen Zhenggong?"

"After the assassin's Fa-rectification, after a period of time, the barracks were calm, but after a few victories in the Song Dynasty, the Xixia Kingdom seemed to be unable to sit still, and finally sent another Assassin assassin, but they didn't know Our Lishan faction has already arrived at the barracks, and under careful precautions, we naturally failed again."

"This time it was my junior sister who came to interrogate me, but I was young and ignorant at the time, and I was very curious about other people's secrets, so I used a hidden talisman that my master gave me to secretly follow behind my junior sister, wanting to find out what happened. See if she really let the assassin go."

"I saw her dragging a bunch of tied assassins to a secluded place, and found an empty tent to go in. I thought I would hear screams and begging for mercy inside, but there was only a rustling sound coming from the tent. There was a rustling sound. The sound was extremely weird, like a snake crawling on the bark of a tree, or like a mouse chewing on wood."

"I really couldn't hold back my curiosity, so I secretly cut a corner of the tent and took a peek. This look shocked me."
