Over the years, Yan Qinglin's killer organization has become increasingly mature and has made great achievements.
They may go deep into enemy territory and assassinate designated figures, or they may hunt down the disobedient party members and friends in the "Huiping Inn" back then, or they may get involved in internal affairs and civil strife, such as assassinating aristocratic nobles and other political opponents on the streets of Guangzhuo Prefecture.
These killers are specially selected, trained, and forged in all kinds of actual combat.
But now, as the old woman and Zhan Ning walked step by step, Yu Xiang, who was hiding inside, couldn't bear the strong sense of oppression, and suddenly took a preemptive strike, forced Zhan Ning back, quickly attacked the old woman, and
While Zhan Ning was protecting the old woman, he turned around and ran quickly towards the mountains to the north.
The old woman was making strange noises, and Zhan Ning stayed with him. When the figure ran away, the old woman laughed happily with her toothless mouth exposed.
"Old man, that's awesome!" Zhan Ning raised his thumb.
"That good-for-nothing guy is so easy to scare!" the old woman said happily.
Xia Zhaoyi led two horses and waited at the intersection. Zhan Ning came back alone and walked quickly: "Second Miss, it's exactly as you expected. He ran so fast that his butt was on fire!"
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and handed over the reins.
"At first, I was still thinking whether his skills were better than mine, but this guy just ran away! Second Miss, they are killers after all, but they were so scared by you!"
"It's not that they are afraid of me. These killers are not afraid of death. They are so afraid that their death is in vain."
"If the appointment time in Suhe County hadn't been approaching, I would have really wanted to follow the second lady and chase them again. These people are like bereaved dogs. The killers of the great country, looking like this!"
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "You are right, the time is approaching in Suhe County. We don't want to make Uncle Xia and the others worry too much. Let's get going."
"Um!"
Suhe County is rich in white porcelain. It is located in the southwest of Huazhou and borders several towns in the north of Panzhou.
Crossing the Zushui River on Wuhe Slope is Huazhou.
Because Huazhou was divided into four parts, the refugees became a sea, and the rebels became bandits, so the Jiangnan Barracks set up checkpoints at more than 30 miles around this area. If you want to cross the Zushui River, you can only take a boat from the only open Zushui ferry in the Jiangnan Barracks.
Xia Zhaoyi and Zhan Ning went all the way to Zushui Ferry for one day and one night. Along the way, they saw a large number of people heading northwest.
Coincidentally, I also met two old acquaintances.
The sky was gloomy, the river wind was biting, and snowflakes were gradually falling. Xia Zhaoyi and Zhan Ning were waiting in front of a bun shop with their horses. A man in simple clothes came up to say hello to them. Xia Zhaoyi turned around and saw that they were gone.
In the teahouse in the distance, Mr. Xin Shun smiled broadly and gave her a distant cup of his hand.
Nie Huimo stood beside him, with a stern face, a pair of deep black eyes, always dressed in black, and with a tall and strong figure, one of which could hold up to two Xinshun.
Xia Zhaoyi's calm and indifferent mood suddenly turned cold.
"Second Miss, are you an old friend?" Zhan Ning asked.
"Not really, not very familiar."
"Girl, my father invites the girl to drink a glass of warm wine." The man said respectfully.
"Let's go." Xia Zhaoyi said neatly.
After all, I owe a promise because of Bai.
Seeing the girl approaching with her horse, Mr. Xin Shun smiled and said, "Miss Ali is a loyal person, and she is really here."
Nie Huimo's handsome nose snorted lightly.
"General, are you unhappy?"
"When she saw you and me, her face fell."
Xin Shun didn't know what to say: "...ha, haha."
Walking up the sturdy zither wood ladder and following the man into the private room, Xin Shun greeted: "Miss Ali, long time no see."
"Sir, you are polite," Xia Zhaoyi said, turning to look at Nie Huimo, "What do you want from me?"
Because it was convenient for her to travel, she was dressed in neutral attire, her pretty face was full of heroism, refreshing and cool, and she did not distinguish between male and female, and her eyes looked more energetic and brighter.
Nie Huimo was already sitting at the table, with dark eyes: "The girl must have never forgotten the deal mentioned in Tai'an Restaurant."
"Have you decided who to kill?"
"Sit down," Nie Huimo said.
The wine table is rectangular, spacious and clean. There are not all the dishes on the shore, but there is a set of exquisite pots and cups that have not been used.
Xia Zhaoyi went over and sat down opposite Nie Huimo, and his entourage brought two square stools covered with cotton. Xin Shun sat next to Nie Huimo's left hand, and Zhan Ning took a seat on Xia Zhaoyi's right hand.
"Where are you going, Miss Ali?" Xin Shun asked.
"Hengxiang." Xia Zhaoyi said without changing his expression.
"Hengxiang?"
"Why not?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
"This Zushui ferry is only used to cross the river to Huazhou. The military and merchants here collude to cross the river once, which is extremely expensive. Therefore, many people who want to go to Huazhou mostly choose to go to Peifeng or Xianxian Ancient County and follow the Zushui River
On the upper reaches of the river, the Dongjiang River goes north. Or they can continue east to Zuilu, and then enter southeastern Huazhou from the mouth of the Guozhuang River. But in Huazhou’s chaotic and contested land, most people don’t want to go there unless they have to.
Yes, but the girl is on the contrary. To go to Hengxiang, she passes through the Zushui Ferry instead?" Xin Shun said.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled without saying a word, her eyes as bright as water.
Xin Shun paused and smiled: "Hey, Miss Ali doesn't want to say it, so I shouldn't ask. But Miss Ali, since we met here, let's make friends."
"The way your general wants to eat people doesn't sound like he wants to be friends," Xia Zhaoyi said.
Xin Shun and Zhan Ning looked at Nie Huimo.
The sullen Nie Huimo paused, then raised his eyebrows and sat up straight: "I, I don't like to eat people."
"This," Xin Shun smiled brightly and said to Xia Zhaoyi, "the general is a great general, he is not angry but powerful, this is his expression."
"If you draw it and stick it on the door, you can become a door god who can ward off evil spirits." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Xin Shun didn't answer and looked at Nie Huimo with an awkward smile.
Nie Huimo's lips curled up slightly: "When I met the girl this time, I didn't say a word, but the girl spoke sharply and dealt with me first."
"The relationship between me and the general is not a series of settlements, but a series of accumulations. The general's silence this time does not mean that what he did and said before does not exist."
Nie Huimo never expected that she could actually say this. If we really wanted to calculate it carefully, who did the two of them lose?
He didn't win her, nor did he win her argument. Now what she said seemed like she had suffered a big loss.
Xin Shun rounded up the situation: "Haha, this... girl, we can meet each other once in Panzhou. It is really fate. Looking back on the several times we have met in the past six months, it is fate. Many friends, many roads.
"
"They are all people who move around all year round and have no fixed abode. We meet them occasionally, but we are not yet close to them by fate," Xia Zhaoyi said.
Nie Huimo's face was even colder than before: "It seems that the girl doesn't know how to speak well, and she will definitely show her teeth and claws."
"General Nie knows better than anyone what I look like when I show my teeth and claws. Do you think I am showing my teeth and claws now?"
"The girl's mouth and tongue are made of knives?"
"The generals who use their lips as swords and their swords as tongues are the historians and scribes. I am far less sharp than their words, but I dare not wear this hat."
Nie Huimo closed his fingers and clenched his fist. This woman is so angry!
