Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 135 Ning Xiuyuan's Skills (Part [-])
Twilight fell.

The clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and the wind picked up, blowing across the streets and alleys, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground and whirling.

Seeing, a heavy rain is coming.

Several shops on the street were closed and barred.

A man standing by the window on the second floor facing the street wears a mask with blue face and fangs. In the flickering candlelight, a terrifying shadow falls on the wall, appearing in the world like a ghost.He stood on the inside of the window, looked at the hurried pedestrians downstairs, and asked in a low voice, "Where are people now?"

The entourage behind him lowered his head, and replied rigidly and bluntly, "Third Master took away, it must have gone to Ningguo Duke's Mansion."

"Should?" The other party's voice gradually increased, and then fell again and again, with heavy pressure, as if worried that someone would reveal his identity, "That is to say, you didn't see it with your own eyes, did you?"

"...Yes... However, I have already talked to you before, and the matter will definitely not involve you." The entourage comforted in a low voice, "Besides, he hid the poison...It really came to that point, because of his paralyzed bed Idiot mother, I will never confess to you."

"Fart!" The other party suddenly turned around, and with a flick of his sleeve, he dropped the teacup on the table behind him. The cup fell to the ground, and the tea splashed, "Who do you think Ning Xiuyuan is? Whenever he wants to ask, he will pry the mouth of the dead." Let's go! How did you promise me before, that you were just a girl with no strength to restrain the chicken, and promised to complete the task, now? Hmm? The task was not completed, and she fell into Ning Xiuyuan's hands!"

The voice was so sharp that it broke, spit sprayed on the tip of the opponent's nose, and the entourage knelt on their knees without saying a word.

The crepe in the window was fluttering in the wind, the shadows of the green fangs on the wall became more and more flickering, and the ground was a mess.The masked man let out a deep breath, his eyes fell on the shattered teacup, after a while, he stabilized his emotions, and said, "I didn't plan on him being able to retire, and it would be a mistake to do it in front of Ning Xiuyuan." I can't escape. It's just that I thought that if he made a move on You Lingxi, he would most likely go to Dali Temple, and it would be better to enter Dali Temple than Luo Ning Xiuyuan."

The other party seemed a little suspicious, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Third Lord... this subordinate has never seen him do anything."

"Then have you ever seen Xi Yu and Xi An fight?"

"...never."

The masked man turned his back again, and watched the clouds come up little by little, as if a certain mountain was pressing on the land and was about to fall at any moment.He said, "I have seen it. In the autumn seven years ago, on the hunting ground, the emperor was attacked. It was Xi An and Xi Yu who fought against the assassins and rescued the emperor. At that time, many masters around the emperor were defeated, but this The two jointly took the head. That year... Ning Xiuyuan was only 13 years old, and Xi An Xiyu was only 15 years old."

"When the assassin died, the people behind the scenes couldn't find out. This matter was suppressed by the emperor, and no one knew about it except us present... But after that, no one in the government and the opposition could stop it. Ning Xiuyuan said it. There are different opinions about his skill outside. Some say that he is powerless, and some say that he is stronger than Xi An and Xi Yu... But I think the truth doesn't matter, after all , with those two people around, it doesn't matter if Ning Xiuyuan knows martial arts or not? Besides, what makes Ning Xiuyuan dreadful...is never skill."

"But... After this incident, I discovered that there are two kinds of people in this world. One is Ning Xiuyuan, and the other is everyone except Ning Xiuyuan."

The kneeling subordinate looked up, somehow, suddenly felt that the master's back was a little lonely.

……

After dinner, it rained.Drizzling, not too big.

Ji Wuyan drank the soothing decoction and fell into a deep sleep. She didn't even eat dinner, and Ziqiu stayed by the bed.Xinyue brought in the dinner for Gucuo and Ning Xiuyuan.

When the little girl went out, her face was pale and her legs were trembling. After a while, the sound of retching came from outside.

Xinyue was just a maid bought by Chaoyun after he came to the imperial capital, and she was promoted as a confidant after seeing her honesty and practicality. When did this little girl see this battle, she might be so frightened that she would have nightmares again and again.

Ning Xiuyuan listened, and glanced at the ancient house, the creator of the bloody scene, suddenly feeling a little disgusted.At that time, what Gucuo said was, let's beat him up first, and be more honest. After finishing speaking, he beat the human tooth first, picked out the poison in the gap between the teeth, and then whipped it down with his hand.

The location of the whip was extremely tricky, the movements were fierce, and the experience was so experienced that Ning Xiuyuan had to suspect that this seemingly gentle man must have had a lot of lives on his hands.

Tsk, the so-called gentle beast is nothing more than that.

Looking at the bloody mess on the ground, and the bearded man who was limp on the ground, Ning Xiuyuan raised his hand to stop him, and glanced at the ancient house, "You look like this...does she know?"

Gucuo took the whip slowly, heard the words, glanced over with the same eyes as the other party, lazily, like a noble and elegant cat, "Since you are a confidant, why don't you know?"

Ning Xiuyuan choked, some sour vinegar spread from his throat, and he frowned slightly, oh yes, they are confidants.And myself, maybe at most a stranger with some kind of friendship?As everyone knows, when he, Ning Xiuyuan, worked so hard for strangers... He really didn't know how to cherish blessings.

Gucuo put away the whip and put it on the ashesy table beside him. While rolling up his sleeves, he walked towards the bearded beard, not forgetting to continue to slander Ning Xiuyuan, "I'm different from you sons of officials. , I like to hide everything, it's really not bright enough."

……

For a moment, Ning Xiuyuan really wanted to walk away.

What assassination, what assassin, the sword on the left and right did not stab me, the assassin is not in my hands, and the important person in the government will not ask me for it, why stand up for no reason?One or two white-eyed wolves who can't cover their heat, what are they doing to help?

He gritted his back teeth and swore secretly that this must be his last time, just meddle in this guy's business!He snorted coldly and sneered, "Yes, you are open-minded. Everyone knows that you are sneaky and sneaky, but the other party doesn't." As he said, he stepped forward and kicked the bearded man, "I explained earlier, I don't have time to talk to you Exhausted, go back to the house for dinner!"

His foot was a little heavy, the other party coughed heart-piercingly, and coughed up a mouthful of blood, which just landed on Gucuo's robe.

The face of the ancient house was visibly... darkened to the naked eye.Even, in the dark light, the movement of his jaw bones was clearly visible, and he was clenching his teeth.

Thus, Third Master Ning lowered his brows and smiled slightly with the corners of his mouth curled up.
