You call this retreating into the world?

Chapter 12 The Assassin's Lament
many years ago.

Secluded valley.

The gloomy sky resounded with thunder and thunder, and the low and black clouds seemed to be collapsing. The cold wind blew from nowhere, blowing over the perfectly handsome face of the bridegroom.

At that time, the bridegroom He was not called Xia Bad, and he was still the chief assassin of Fenghua Xueyue Palace, No. 1 under the leader.

But before his eyes, there were corpses everywhere, devastated everywhere.

The bright red blood gathered into a meandering river and flowed to his feet.

He lowered his head and stared at the reflection in the bloody water. No matter how disgusting he looked, that face could make all the women in the world fall in love with him.

"He Bridegroom, what's the matter, you've been an assassin for so many years, and today you suddenly feel sad and sad, do you regret doing this job?"

Behind him, a man came out, about the same age as the bridegroom He, but with a sullen face and a fierce look all over his body. He was holding a girl's head in his hand, and his fingertips were tightly scratching her long hair, like lifting a hand. with a basket.

The expression of the dead man on the head froze for a moment of extreme pain, scarlet blood dripped from the broken neck, fell and shattered into beads.

The speaker, like the bridegroom, belongs to the Feng Hua Xue Yue Palace, and the assassin "Xie Pei Ling".

It is also the practice of Fenghua Xueyue Palace to use the name of the word card as the name of the assassin.

Under this seemingly elegant name, his hands are actually full of blood. I have to say that the leader is a very thoughtful person.

Xie Peiling raised his arm, picked up the head in his hand, and held it up to his eyes. He seemed quite satisfied with the work, kissed the forehead of the head, and showed a creepy smile: "What a beautiful woman, it's a pity that I can't help but play, listen It is a pity that she has just made an engagement and will marry her lover next month, but it's okay, I will treasure her head well, it is my master's masterpiece."

Bridegroom He turned around, the sullen expression in his eyes was undisguised, and he reprimanded: "Jiang Chengzi, the leader asked us to find the rumored ninth needle of Taisu, not to play with women! Just cut it off, why waste other people's innocence!"

"Anyway, if you want to kill, why don't you play around? Wouldn't it be a waste of the beauty of the country? Besides, the bridegroom, the entire Nangong family, you have killed the most people, why do you still have the face to teach me? Since you want to be a saint, why bother?" Be an assassin." Xie Peiling grinned mockingly.

The bridegroom looked gloomy and did not speak.

Behind him is the Nangong lineage that has long been destroyed and has been a doctor for generations.

In Jianghu, killing doctors is a big taboo, not to mention killing people everywhere.

But that's what the chief meant.

And specially assigned He Bridegroom and the other two to execute it together.

As long as he is still in Feng Hua Xue Yue Palace, he cannot disobey the leader's wishes, unless he dies, otherwise he can only be a sharp sword to kill people.

"I'm a little tired." He said tiredly in his heart, walking aimlessly among the corpses.

At this time, a woman in white clothes came towards him holding an umbrella.

The woman's face was covered with a snow-white veil, her makeup was simple and elegant, her long hair was gently rolled up, and there was only a wooden hairpin carved with peach blossoms inserted in her bun.

Even so, it can't hide her extraordinary appearance. Those beautiful eyes are as agile as water, and she seems to be able to talk between glances, like looking at the hazy water color, lingering.

She has a graceful body and a slender waist. She moves and shakes gently, like a fairy dancing, which makes people unable to take their eyes off her.

This is Su Muzhe, the No.3 assassin who performed missions with He Groom and Xie Peiling.

Seeing the haggard and tired He groom, Su Muzhe's eyes were obviously fluctuating strangely. She stepped forward to care, her red lips parted slightly, and asked in an extremely gentle voice: "But what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Groom He forced a smile.

"Don't hold on, you just fought against the Nangong family and consumed a lot of energy, you might as well take a break." She said with concern.

Suddenly, it began to rain lightly, Su Muzhe naturally raised the umbrella in his hand and moved it over the head of the bridegroom He, as if he was afraid that his clothes would be wet by the rain.

"I'm not afraid of the rain, am I?" Bridegroom He shook his head. He stretched out his hand, feeling the raindrops dripping on his palm, as if he was washing the blood from his hand with that icy coldness.

Xie Peiling, who was behind him, was filled with true energy, evaporating the rainwater around him. He witnessed the interaction between the two, and couldn't help frowning, obviously disgusted by Su Muzhe's overtures to the bridegroom.

As if he didn't exist at all.

"Su Muzhe, where did Nangong Changchun get his things? Have you found them?" Xie Peiling asked intentionally.

"Nangong Changchun probably ran away with something, but I didn't find his whereabouts." Su Muzhe said softly.

"You dare to come back even if we don't find you!? The old man Nangong was drugged by us in advance, and his skill was greatly reduced. You lost him with your ability. After you go back carefully, the leader will not spare you." Xie Peiling sneered.

"Hmph, Nangong Changchun's realm is not low. I really thought it was a cat or a dog. If you think you are capable, then go find it yourself. Then I and Mr. He will ask the leader for credit!" Su Muzhe replied displeased.

"Trash." Xie Peiling held Miss Nangong's head, walked past Su Muzhe, and muttered deliberately.

If the bridegroom He hadn't tugged on her sleeve, Su Muzhe would have shot him angrily and taught Xie Peiling a lesson.

"The task is important, otherwise the three of us will go back, and none of us will escape punishment." He Bridegroom said.

Although the assassins in Fenghua Xueyue Palace are all orphans and grew up together, they don't have much affection for each other.

They will only act together when accepting tasks, and they are all alone on weekdays.

But the bridegroom He is a bit special, even though he grew up in this cruel and harsh environment, he has acquainted with many assassins.

This may be due to his excellent talent and the attention and expectations of the leaders, but as a man in two lifetimes, he can see many things more thoroughly, and his personality is not dark and obscure, but rather cheerful.

Coupled with the outstanding appearance of the bridegroom He, even among all the handsome men, he is extremely eye-catching, so he is naturally very popular with women.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Su Muzhe treats the bridegroom differently and secretly falls in love with him.

After Xie Peiling walked away, Su Muzhe walked to a house with the bridegroom under his umbrella.

"A person like Xie Peiling values ​​fame and fortune the most. In order to win the attention of the leader, he will definitely spare no effort to find the whereabouts of Nangong Changchun. Let's be lazy and wait quietly." Su Muzhe said softly.

"Su Muzhe, do you like being an assassin?" Bridegroom He asked suddenly.

Su Mu covered his beautiful eyes and glanced at him suspiciously, and said: "There is nothing I like or dislike. I am a person without father and mother. I don't have a leader. I may have died a long time ago. Even if I survived by chance, I can't live longer than that." It's better now, although I have to kill people, but no one can threaten my safety, you must know that women are too beautiful, and it's not a good thing in this world."

She smiled at the bridegroom, and leaned over intentionally or unintentionally.

There is no assassin in Fenghua Xueyue Palace who is not handsome and beautiful. Su Muzhe's appearance can also be called the first rank. Although there is still a gap compared with the leader of the Demon Cult who is known as the most beautiful woman in the world, his gestures can be called overwhelming. Allure.

"I want to leave." Bridegroom He said frankly.

"I'm going to die." Su Muzhe shook her head. She understood what the other party was thinking, but she still hoped that he would dispel this terrible thought.

Not that no one is trying to leave the organization.

But it all ended badly.

Bridegroom He didn't speak anymore. He sat on a chair, ignoring the smelly corpses in the room, and quietly listening to the sound of the rain falling.

Suddenly, he said: "What if you can kill the leader?"

"The leader is a true martial arts master, even if the entire organization unites as one, there is not much chance of winning." Su Muzhe still did not support his idea.

But she added: "If you really want to, I'll help you."

Bridegroom He glanced at her gratefully, but immediately rejected this idea. Unless there is external help, it is just a fantasy.

At this moment, a figure stood outside the door. He held the door frame, sneered a few times, and said angrily, "You want to kill your own leader?"

Groom He and Su Muzhe looked at the man, couldn't help but widen their eyes, and exclaimed, "Nangong Changchun!?"

That person is the head of the Nangong family of this generation, and also the key person who knows the whereabouts of Taisu's ninth needle.

"Didn't you run away?" Su Muzhe asked in surprise.

"Run? How far can this old man run with this crippled body? You are being targeted by Fenghua Xueyue Palace. You will die sooner or later. Although you are the ones who killed my Nangong family, I also know that you are just the leader's knife, old man. The real enemy is him!"

"But ordinary people don't even know who the leader is, let alone get close to him! After thinking about it, only the assassins of Fenghua Xueyue Palace have the opportunity to approach him and kill him!"

"Boy, you are the assassin congratulating the groom who has recently become famous, right? I am the best at looking at you, old man. At first glance, you are a rebellious person. If the leader is killed in the future, it must be at your hands. In this case, the old man will send you off." A great opportunity, come forward!"

Nangong Changchun, who had already been scarred and scarred, shouted.

Hearing this, Bridegroom He frowned, but still walked up.

Nangong Changchun smiled with satisfaction, and then whispered softly in his ear, and Su Muzhe did not deliberately eavesdrop, standing at a distance, silently waiting for the two of them.

"Do you understand?" Nangong Changchun looked at the bridegroom.

He nodded.

"In that case, let me give this old man another ride. Your sword is fast, and there will be no pain in dying under your sword. You just need to remember that one day you will behead the head of the Fenghua Xueyue Palace leader, and just remember to give me some comfort! " Nangong Changchun laughed loudly.

There was a trace of struggle on Groom He's face, and he only said "Okay!"

Immediately, with a flash of sword light, Nangong Changchun's head was chopped off.

But at this moment, Xie Peiling laughed and walked out, saying: "Groom He, I heard your conversation with Nangong Changchun very clearly just now, you dare to disrespect the leader and intend to betray, you have the guts!"

"Why, you also have this idea?" Bridegroom He shook the sword in his hand, and looked at Xie Peiling with a gloomy face.

"Yes, you just need to tell me what you just said to this dead man, I can help you then, to tell you the truth, I have been unhappy with the leader for a long time, once he dies, there will be no shackles in the world to wait for us! "

In fact, just now Nangong Changchun didn't say anything to the bridegroom He's ear at all, but put his hand on his heart, using the remaining internal strength to secretly transmit the sound.

So Xie Peiling only knew that Groom He wanted to betray the organization, but he didn't know the content of their last conversation.

"What if I refuse?" Bridegroom He looked at him with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Why, you can't trust me?" Xie Peiling also slowly touched his sword, even if he couldn't beat the bridegroom, he was confident that he could run away.

"You can't be trusted, and let you break through such a big secret of mine. I feel uneasy if you don't die!" As soon as the words fell, Bridegroom He drew his sword and slashed away.

A majestic and unparalleled sword energy burst out from the sword, directly cutting the ground in front of him into a terrifying gully.

The wind and rain all over the sky dissipated without a trace in an instant.

The sound of the sword's sound moved, like a dragon's chant, overshadowing the thunder and thunder above the sky.

I saw the sword light like a big sun flying in the sky, covering the surroundings. When the radiance dissipated, Xie Peiling's heart had already been pierced by a sword, and it was too late to block it.

"Your swordsmanship... how come..." Xie Peiling looked at the bridegroom in disbelief, he frowned in pain, and before he died, he came to a conclusion, "You have been hiding your strength!"

"It turns out that you don't even know that I have the skill of Yihejing. It's no wonder that although the leader knows about this kind of thing, he doesn't bother to tell you." The bridegroom urged his sword energy to completely shatter Xie Peiling's body.

Su Muzhe stepped forward at this moment, and said worriedly: "Xie Peiling is dead, and there is no whereabouts of Taisu's ninth injection. How should we explain to the leader?"

"Before Nangong Changchun died, he told me that in order to prevent someone from snatching Taisu's ninth injection, he had already prepared a fake medical book in advance. As for Xie Peiling's death, I will explain it to the leader myself. Don’t know anything, don’t get involved.”

Afterwards, Bridegroom He walked to a hidden cave in the valley.

After unraveling all the traps, he took out a book packed with dragon scales, and on the cover was written the eight characters: "Nine needles return to Yang, nine orifices return to life".

When the pages of the book are turned, there is a unique pleasant sound of friction between the papers.

But this beautifully bound and well-made book is indeed a fake, and the real Taisu ninth needle is not in the valley at all.

At this moment, the words of Nangong Changchun before his death echoed in Groom He's heart.

"The ninth needle of Taisu hides the biggest secret in the world. The old man killed many people in order to get this book from his master. The Nangong family has today's bitter fruit. It is also karma. Leader, he will definitely not be able to see anything, but really... I will leave it to you to study and understand."

……

……

Recalling the memory so far, Xia Buddy stretched a lot. In the end, he neither comprehended the secret of the ninth needle, nor could he use it. He just escaped from Feng Hua Xue Yue Palace by feigning death.

"What secrets can a medical book hold?"

Because no matter how you look at Xia Baobao, it is a very normal medical book!

The method of acupuncture and moxibustion is discussed from beginning to end.

He even tried soaking it with water, roasting it with fire, dripping it with blood, checking for interlayers, and tried all the methods he could think of, but he didn't see any tricks.

He couldn't figure it out, didn't understand, so he had to put the matter behind him for the time being.

"Happy, go out with Master and have a good meal!" Xia Buddy groped after rubbing his stomach that had been hungry all day.

"Okay~!" The loli apprentice in maid outfit was full of expectation.

Suddenly Xia Buyou said: "Remember to eat more, seeing your height, you can only hit my knee when you jump up, tsk tsk tsk."

Gao Xing pursed her lips, with a resentful expression on her face, clenched her fists tightly, her cute and graceful face blushed.

What a wonderful master, it's a pity that he has a mouth!
