Duan Rong's mouth twitched and he opened Jiu'er's hand, "It's my mother and my father's. What's wrong..."
He gritted his teeth, "How can a person be both your father and your mother in your eyes?"
Similar things and situations like the attack just now happened to Baili Feiyue and Changsun Wuji. Even Duan Rong's words and protective gesture were similar.
Even if Baili Feiyue is here, I'm afraid she will be in a trance for a moment.
Jiu'er was already smiling when he opened her hands and raised her head.
"Who told you to always lecture me without thinking..."
She rolled her eyes again and pulled at his sleeve, "Duan Rong, are you paying attention to me?"
Duan Rong looked down at Jiu'er, who had a little joy hidden in the curve of his eyes, licked his thin lips, and gave her a sinister smile.
He turned around and left arrogantly.
Because of his actions, his waist-length black hair flew in the wind, and the hair was spread freely on his back like black brocade.
Red clothes and black hair, indescribable ultimate charm, endless uninhibited romance.
Jiuer chased after him, but couldn't catch him.
Duan Rong has eyes on the back of his head and always keeps five steps away from her.
Jiu'er was unconvinced in his heart. He was just good at martial arts. What's so great about it?
She calculated the distance accurately and suddenly pounced towards him.
"I caught you!" Jiuer proudly held a strand of the man's hair.
Duan Rong's scalp and teeth felt pain almost at the same time. He felt helpless and angry and said, "My little friend, do you want to pluck out your hair?"
Jiu'er just smiled at him and said nothing.
"Why are you giggling?" Duan Rong stretched out his arm to her, looking annoyed, "Let's go home."
Jiuer smiled and held his arm.
She called out "Father" in a daze. It was not because Duan Rong liked to lecture her and take care of her. In fact, her father would not teach her such a clueless lesson from time to time.
It's Duan Rong's martial arts...
She had only seen three people master the powerful and fierce internal martial arts that Duan Rong had just launched at the critical moment.
Father, as well as the eldest grandson Qing and the eldest grandson and...
Jiu'er glanced sideways at Duan Rong, then his eyes narrowed again.
The skills that my father can master alone are not something that everyone can create or figure out on their own, nor can they be learned elsewhere.
So, how could Duan Rong know this?
He has learned so much. No matter how talented he is in martial arts, his skills will not reach such a profound level within a few years...
Inexplicably, Jiu'er felt much better. She smiled and said, "Which home should you go back to?"
Duan Rong glanced at her sideways, "Which one do you want to go back to?"
"Let's go to the General's Mansion. It just so happens that we have to give General Duan acupuncture tomorrow."
In this way, Jiu'er, who had no intention of coming to see Duan Rong for the time being, followed Duan Rong back to the general's mansion.
She didn't ask Duan Rong where he learned this unique internal skill.
The corners of her mouth curled up along the way, as if she was looking forward to and excited to explore and discover a sweet little secret.
She even temporarily forgot about Su Jingxing, and her previous inexplicable low and cold mood completely dissipated.
When she returned to the General's Mansion, she was extremely sleepy. She didn't even dream a single thing after washing up. In the General's Mansion, which was an absolutely safe environment for her, she fell asleep soundly all night.
But this night is destined to be a sleepless night for too many people.
The only two survivors of Jiu'er's assassination, the pair of shady masters, the old man, went to a secret house somewhere in Kyoto, dripping with cold sweat.
Facing their employer behind the screen, the two felt quite guilty.
The man behind the screen obviously changed his voice deliberately. He sneered, "So, you offered me a sky-high price of 30,000 taels of gold and promised to take Duan Ajiu's head silently. Now, you are holding your tail between your legs."
Escaped back?"
The old man was ashamed and did not dare to speak.
Although the old woman knew that the person in front of her could not be offended, she was still angry in her heart, "It should have been easy to catch, but Duan Rong is not at all what you said, nor is it at the level that your people have tried!"
"If we had known that Duan Rong's skills were so terrifying, even if we had doubled the gold, neither of us would have accepted this deal!"
The shadow behind the screen shouted again, "Speaking of Potian, it's all your incompetence."
The old woman didn't like hearing it anymore, "If you can still find a more powerful killer than the two of us, you can hire someone else."
The strange old man next to him winked at the old woman, telling her to calm down.
He said to the shadow behind the screen, "We will return the 10,000 taels of deposit we received before to you. We really can't do this order. Duan Rong is indeed secretive. My wife and I are not as skilled as him, so we can't do it with him."
He took the girl's life under his protection."
The person behind the screen sneered, "Are you afraid that you are not as good as him, or are you afraid of what he told you to do?"
The expressions of the two strange old men changed.
Killers of their level come into contact with people at different levels, so naturally they are not ignorant.
They were indeed more afraid of the subtext of Duan Rongrang's words.
Although the 'employer' in front of them didn't show his true face, the two of them knew very well in their hearts that with such a big family and a big business, they were afraid that they had something to do with the Tian family.
The whole world is not the land of the king.
Although they are some of the most well-known killers on the road, they are also very aware of current affairs and know things related to the Tian family, and they cannot afford to offend them.
The person behind the screen said quietly, "It seems that you have indeed heard of that rumor. Our country of Cangyu not only has the Ming Emperor, but there are also rumors of the 'Dark Emperor'. You even think that Duan Rong is the Dark Emperor."
These words were tantamount to revealing his own identity. When the two strange old men heard this, they immediately said, "We know nothing and have never heard of it!"
"Yes, we also have the rules of our industry. We accept jobs with money and don't ask anything else..."
"Hahaha, what are you afraid of? I won't take action against two people like you." He said with certainty, "The deposit of ten thousand taels is still yours. You continue to do things for me. If you do it, the remaining two taels will be yours."
Ten thousand taels of gold are indispensable to you."
The purpose of licking blood from the edge of the knife was to seek money. The old woman and the old woman were a little excited, but the old woman was more cautious.
She licked her dry black lips and said, "That girl, the two of us are not capable of killing her."
The person behind the screen sneered, "I won't let you kill her directly, but something else."
The old woman looked at each other and said, "You said..."
"She's still a girl. But this time I'm not asking you to kill her, but asking you to find a girl who is different and can be called a goddess."
The old woman and the old woman think this is more difficult than killing Duan Ajiu. What are all these things?
A different, goddess-like girl?
"I wonder if you have any specific clues or images?"
"none."
none??!!!
Is he serious?
"How about it? Should I answer it or not?"
The two old ladies thought for a moment. Since the other party said this, there must be such a girl. Although it was a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack, they would rather choose this one.
"Okay, we'll take it."
After the two people went down, after a while, the person behind the screen came out.
Under the dim light and shadow, the tall and handsome face of the eldest prince was revealed!
At this time, the secret door inside also opened, and the eldest princess's confidant, nanny, came out.
The eldest prince looked at Mammy, "Mother Xu, go back and tell the eldest aunt that if we don't succeed this time, we will be benevolent. There is no way out."
Aunt Xu nodded, "I will report everything today to Her Royal Highness. It's just..."
She was a little hesitant, "Your Highness, is the information you got reliable? I am afraid that I will make a wedding dress for someone else."
The eldest prince's eyes were dark, "The empress and the second son are making frequent moves. Today's appearance in the Prime Minister's Mansion has given me many bad premonitions. Now that the eldest imperial aunt has been punished by her father again, the original officials in the court have
The courtiers who are close to me are accustomed to adapting to the wind, and they all tend to favor the second child. We can't afford to wait any longer."
"Whether it's Su Jingxing, Chu Qing, who was once a bookstore, or Duan Rong, who has fooled us for so many years under our noses, no matter who they are as the Dark Emperor, they cannot be won over in a short time. But they have too much in common.
It’s obvious.”
"In the past, I had a misunderstanding. Instead of pulling them over, it would be better for them and my good father to kill each other. I still have a glimmer of hope that the fishermen will benefit."
After all, grandma is older and more cautious.
"Of course it will be great if it goes well. The old servant is wondering how the fact that His Majesty wants to take Miss Ajiu's life... came to His Majesty's ears so easily. I'm afraid it's some kind of trap set by other His Majesty."
"Whether it's a trap or not, Duan Ajiu must die. If we can't assassinate her, we will kill her openly! Let her die! When the time comes, my good father must take the blame for Duan Ajiu's death by 'killing her openly'!
