Chapter 49 Hunting the Killer Following in the Forest
She adjusted Guleg's belt, opened her mouth and whispered, "It's on the tree."
Guleg looked up and spotted a piece of the man's clothes hanging in the air. He immediately drew his sword and pointed it at the man in the tree, "Who is that man in the tree? Stop hiding and come down and talk."
When the man saw that he had been discovered, he didn't hesitate and jumped down. The moment he landed, the man quickly drew his sword and pointed at it, with a sinister look in his eyes. He was dressed in black and had a black scarf covering his face. Even if he didn't say anything,
Guleg also guessed his identity.
"Who are you and why are you following us?"
Guleg asked angrily. He pushed Mo Lanyue a few meters away from him, ready to fight at any time. Mo Lanyue didn't have any weapons in his hands, so she had to stand behind him. The situation was not clear.
Before changing, it would be better for her to wait and see.
"Humph, I don't need to worry about who I am. Now that I'm here, I'll leave my life behind."
After saying this, the man in black raised his sword and attacked him. The fierce attack looked like a professional killer. Guleg used his sword to block it, but he was wondering in his heart.
He has never been quarrelsome with others and is very popular in the palace. Why would someone hire a killer to take his life?
He didn't have time to think too much. The man in black was attacking fiercely. He could barely resist every move. However, after dozens of moves, he couldn't resist anymore and the sword in his hand was forced to drop to the ground.
Guleg turned his head and glanced at the defenseless Mo Lanyue, "You are just asking for money. I can give you double the amount of money they give you."
"I'm sorry, our business is all about credibility. If we give up the task if just one person outbids the original person, there will be no business coming from us in the future."
"Then... at least let this girl go, she is innocent."
Guleg raised his hands, gave up resistance, and instead interceded for Mo Lanyue.
The man in black glanced disdainfully at Mo Lanyue behind him, "No one wants to buy her life. I never do business that makes you lose money."
Seeing that the man in black didn't take her seriously, Mo Lanyue quietly touched the ground, and Gulege's sword was only an inch away from her.
"Stand still and don't move, I can give you a good time. Keep walking on the road to Huangquan, Your Highness..."
The man in black's cold eyes flashed away, and he held a long sword and slashed straight at his neck. Guleg closed his eyes involuntarily and gave up completely.
"bite!"
The expected pain did not appear. Guleg heard the sound of metal colliding. When he opened his eyes, he saw Mo Lanyue holding his long sword in front of him.
"Little girl, what are you doing to join in the fun? I don't want to hurt you, so get out of the way."
The right hand holding the hilt of the sword was trembling slightly. Just now, she barely managed to receive the full-strength slash from the man in black. The huge momentum endured by the sword made her palm numb. At this time, it was already difficult to hold the long sword, and even more so.
Forget about facing the professional killer in front of you.
"I don't want to meddle in this business, but you just called him the Third Highness. The one you want to kill is the Third Prince, Gu Lieyang?"
Mo Lanyue was almost worried to death, but there was no trace of nervousness or sadness on her face. Now she could only delay as much as possible. If the fight really happened, she would not be much better than Guleg. She used to be a professional killer, but she used
The weapons are all modern high-tech weapons. She is not good at wielding swords at all. If she switches to a dagger, she might still have a chance of winning.
"That's right."
Mo Lanyue sneered, "Then you have found the wrong person. The person in front of you is the fifth prince, Gulege."
"What? Little girl, don't try to lie to me."
The man in black stretched out his hand and pointed the tip of his sword directly at the tip of her nose. However, Mo Lanyue did not take this kind of threat seriously. After she was convinced that the man in black had found the wrong person, she felt relieved. She had done it before
In this industry, he naturally understands the mentality of these people. As he said, he is not interested in the life of no one who pays for it.
"There is no need for me to lie to you about this. On the contrary, if you kill the wrong person, not only will you not get paid, but you will also most likely be hunted by your employer. If I am not wrong, the person who hired you will
It must be one of the princes here?"
Mo Lanyue stared straight at the face of the man in black, carefully observing the changes in expression on his face. Although he did not answer her question, based on his guilty look just now, she could conclude that she had guessed eight.
Nine is inseparable from ten.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. After all, these things have nothing to do with me. But think about it, if you accidentally kill the wrong person, and he and your employer happen to have a close brotherly relationship... Do you think you
What will be the outcome?"
"Since he has the ability to hire you to kill people, and of course he has the ability to hire better killers to hunt you down, are you willing to take such a big risk to kill someone who you are not sure is your target? If so, you still decide
If I want to take action, I have no choice but to do my best and obey fate."
Mo Lanyue's trembling right hand finally returned to normal. She picked up the sword and held it across her chest, ready to welcome the attack of the man in black at any time.
The man in black was stunned by what she said. He really didn't dare to take action. He just looked at the two of them complicatedly, as if hesitating on how to deal with them.
"Little girl, you should know that you can't beat me?"
After a long silence, the man in black suddenly said to her.
Observing words and emotions was much easier for Mo Lanyue than judging time. As soon as the man in black asked this question, she knew that he had already made a decision, and it was a decision that was beneficial to them.
She shrugged, with a timid smile, "I know. As long as you don't kill us, I won't overestimate my own capabilities."
"Be smart enough to put down your sword, raise your hands, and turn your back to me. The same goes for you."
The man in black pointed at the two people and ordered.
Mo Lanyue followed the instructions one by one. Seeing that Guleg still didn't move, she kicked him gently and said, "Your Highness, those who understand the current affairs are heroes. It is not worthwhile to ruin a good life by showing off one's ambition."
Guleg was really ashamed to be taught such a lesson by a little girl, so he turned his back as the man in black said. Soon, both of their hands were tightly tied with ropes by the man in black.
"Brother, why don't you play so big? If no one passes by, won't we starve to death here?"
Mo Lanyue complained with a sad face.
The man in black not only tied them both up, but also hung them on a tree, with the rope strangling their wrists. It was really uncomfortable.
"How do I know whether what you just said is true or false? If I am sure that I have really found the wrong person, then you two will just resign yourself to your fate and wait for someone to rescue you. But if I find out that you lied to me, when I come back,
Your end will be even worse than before."
After sternly threatening, the man in black walked away with a "brisk" step, leaving two poor creatures hanging in the air lamenting secretly.
Mo Lanyue looked up at her tightly tied wrists, which had deep red marks on them. It would have been fine if they were just tied, but they were hung in the air. How could her delicate skin withstand it?
This kind of fuss.
"Your Highness, fifth, do you mind if I transfer some of my weight to you?"
Seeing that Guleg's expression was quite calm, she thought that he could withstand such a suspension. She snickered in her heart. The so-called use of some things should not be let go. This is the time to advocate the distinction between men and women.
"How can you pass it on to me?"
"Simple."
She grabbed the rope above with her hands, exerted strength on her waist, and lifted her legs with great effort. Then, she reached for Guleg's waist and clamped his waist tightly with her two legs. In this way, most of her weight
That was transferred to Guleg, and the pressure on his wrist suddenly decreased greatly.
"Little girl, how did you learn this? You are too smart."
"secret."
Gu Liege did not ask further questions, and the man in black left to determine his target person. If it is true that his target is Gu Lieyang as he just said, then...
"Oops, third brother is in danger."
He was no longer in the mood to joke. Since the man in black found the wrong person, he would definitely look for Gu Lieyang again to carry out an assassination operation. Gu Lieyang always went alone when hunting, and there was no one around him who could help.
There are no people, so what should I do?
Mo Lanyue snorted nonchalantly, "Please, instead of worrying about the safety of His Highness the Third Highness, it's better to worry about our current situation first. If we keep hanging like this, sooner or later we will starve to death, die from the sun, or be drenched in the rain.
.”
"Aren't you worried about Third Brother? It's a shame he treats you so well."
Guleg stared at her with resentment in his eyes, almost pointing at her nose and calling her a white-eyed wolf.
Not taking Gulege's accusation to heart, Mo Lanyue just couldn't help but sigh, "Your Highness, Fifth Prince, think about it seriously. Since the man in black wants to find someone to confirm whether what I said is true, he must first
Find the person who hired him, right? However, there must be a few people who hired him to kill someone.
One of the princes, at this time, which prince is not hunting hard in the woods, he will have to spend a lot of time to find that person, or wait until everyone comes back in the evening, and then
Only then can we look for His Highness Third Prince again to find an opportunity to strike."
After listening to Mo Lanyue's analysis, everything made sense. Guleg couldn't help but regret the words he just scolded her for.
"Little girl, I couldn't help myself just now. I was anxious..."
"There's no need to apologize or anything like that. It's more practical to apologize directly. Well, do you know what I'm referring to?"
"..."
It was indeed real enough... Gulege no longer felt guilty. He would think about what would be better to give her after he went back.
The two of them looked up at the rope hanging themselves at the same time, thinking about the same question in their minds.
It was quiet all around, and occasionally I could hear a bird chirping.
Mo Lanyue's brain was running rapidly, thinking of many ways to get out of trouble, and finally decided to implement one of the simplest and feasible methods.
"Your Highness, Fifth Prince, do you mind..."
"As long as I can get out of trouble, I don't mind if you step on my head, just go ahead."
Guleg replied cheerfully.
"puff……"
His risk-taking look was so funny that she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
After laughing enough, she said seriously, "I really want to step on you, but just stepping on your shoulder is enough."
