Hang Shiqi remembered that the orcs here were bigger than him, and had sharp fangs and claws. Finally, he realized that he had made a very stupid mistake. When he saw that the other person looked similar to himself, he preconceivedly regarded the other person as the same kind.
Later, after this statement was admitted by Ao Jing, he no longer had any doubts. Even though he found that the orcs here and himself were very different from him in habits and cognition, he firmly attributed these to individual differences.
But in fact, they are not the same kind. He is a husky, an energetic sled dog. The other is a wolf, a ferocious carnivore.
In fact, there are hints of this in many places. For example, they hunt in winter and eat raw food. For example, they have a body that is slightly larger than themselves, with fangs and claws. For example, they worship the moon and like to howl at it.
It was because of his subconscious preconceptions that he ignored all these details.
Frost Wolf? Wait, Frost Wolf! A thunder split open the chaotic memory of Hang Shiqi and brought him back to the task he had long forgotten in his mind:
Kill the Wolf King of the North.
He vaguely remembered that the beast species of the Northern Wolf King seemed to be the frost wolf.
It is known that the Frostwolf clan is the royal family of the North, and Ao Wu is the boss of the Frostwolves. Then Ao Wu is——
"Then you are the Wolf King of the North?" Hang Shiqi asked, grabbing Ao Wu's clothes.
"Idiot." Ao Wu said.
Just when Hang Shiqi thought he was mistaken, he heard the other party say: "Did you just find out?"
Ju! Ran! Really! Yes!
Hang Shiqi was so frightened that the hair on his body stood up. He had been in the same room with such a dangerous mission target? If the other party knew that he was here to assassinate him, he would probably be reduced to Ao Wu's rations!
Hang Shiqi tried hard to recall whether he had done anything to expose his identity, but no matter how he recalled it, his mind was all muddy. He only remembered that he took Ao Wu's bed, demolished his training ground, and ate his chicken legs in front of him.
, using his wound medicine, teasing others, and yelling in front of him...
Finally, Hang Shiqi replayed tonight's conversation in his mind and came to the conclusion that he might not have exposed his identity before, but just now, he might have sold himself out.
Is it too late to remedy this? Hang Shiqi looked at Ao Wu's stern face in despair, opened his mouth, and smiled guiltily: "What a coincidence, I am also a frost wolf, hehehehe."
Ao Wu didn't speak, but still stared at him with a pair of green eyes.
Hang Qi raised his head in a pretentious manner and imitated a wolf's cry: "Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch?"
Then he was picked up by Ao Wu again and thrown on the bed.
There is a dog alive, but it is dead.
Hang Shiqi thought so.
Ao Wu was drunk.
He is very sensitive to the moonlight. Most frost wolves will only feel excited during the full moon, but Ao Wu is so drunk that he can become unconscious. It depends on how long he stays in the moonlight.
Ao Wu didn't intend to let too many people know about this, so unless necessary, he would try to avoid being exposed to the moonlight on a full moon day.
But today was the annual winter hunting celebration. He couldn't leave too early, as it would arouse suspicion, so he had to hold on to his wits and persist until the second half of the celebration.
Although he was drunk, he still tried his best to maintain his normal appearance in front of others. Most people even thought that he had no drunken reaction at all. But in front of people close to him, he could no longer maintain his pretense.
Especially after returning to the tent, his mind suddenly relaxed and he behaved like an ordinary drunkard. There was no logic at all. It was as if he was dominated by a monster without intelligence and acted purely on instinct. Just like at this moment, he could not control Hang Shiqi at all.
After the words became coherent, he just thought that the way this guy raised his neck and whined was so silly and cute.
Ao Wu returned to his human form and sat on his own couch. The drunken moon made him feel sleepy and wanted to rest early.
Hang Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief. Did he fool him? Although he didn't understand why Ao Wu was so stupid and easy to fool. But if he didn't bite him to death on the spot, it should be fine.
Hang Shiqi also transformed into a human. Everyone became human, which made him feel less like a plate of meat on each other's diet. Alas, it's pity that he is a dog among the wolves. Apart from his appearance, there is really nothing similar about him.
.I didn’t know it before and didn’t pay attention. In the future, I still have to learn how to act like a frost wolf to prevent my identity from being exposed!
Hang Shiqi was sitting by the bed and reflecting on himself. He didn't notice that Ao Wu suddenly reached out from behind and pushed him down.
"Sleep." Ao Wu squinted his eyes and said.
The hot breath hit behind Hang Shiqi's ear, making his whole body tremble.
The man behind him was still not satisfied, so he placed one hand under Hang Shiqi's head, the other hand around his waist, and pulled him into his arms.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" Hang Shiqi was startled. He didn't mind being hugged, but this kind of confinement posture made him feel very uncomfortable now that he was guilty of being a thief.
"Don't you never sleep with me? What are you doing now? I'm not sleepy. I don't want to sleep yet. Don't force me to sleep with you. I won't compete with you if you sleep in your bed. I'll sleep tonight
The floor is fine."
Hang Shiqi kept struggling, causing Ao Wu, who had already closed his eyes to go to sleep, to open his eyes a little irritably. He turned the person over, and the close distance caused an accidental scratch between the lips of the two.
Hang Shiqi seemed to have pressed the silence button, his blue eyes were wide open, and he stared at Ao Wu for a moment. Ao Wu lowered his eyes, seeing that he had accidentally rubbed against the softness, and pressed against it again as if to test.
At first, it was just a subconscious movement, with a brief taste. But when the tip of the nose smelled the sweet smell emanating from Hang Shiqi, his throat felt thirsty, and his movements gradually lost control. He forcefully used the tip of his tongue to pry open his tightly closed mouth like a clam shell, and in the warm and soft
Search the inside.
"Huh!" Hang Shiqi froze in fright. His normally active brain seemed to be overloaded, and it was running as slowly as an old woman crossing the road. After a century of complex analysis and calculations, he finally came to the conclusion: Ao Wu
You're kissing him!
Coming to the conclusion, Hang Shiqi tried hard to think whether he was crazy or Ao Wu was crazy, but Ao Wu's brutal kiss made his brain suffer from a lack of oxygen, so he couldn't come to a conclusion smoothly.
Fortunately, Ao Wu did not continue to attack the city after the kiss. He just put his hands around Hang Shiqi's waist possessively and fell into a deep sleep.
Hang Shiqi lay stiffly for a while, feeling the tension around his waist gradually loosen, and immediately rolled out of the tent.
Ao Jing was wrapped in a black light-shielding robe and lurked outside Ao Wu's tent. He was one of the few people who knew that Ao Wu was seriously drunk. During the celebration, he had been paying careful attention to Ao Wu's state. When Ao Wu returned to the tent, he had already brought
A few confidants are quietly guarding here.
Ao Wu is usually strong and vigilant, and assassinating him is no different than seeking death. But after the drunken moon, he will fall into a deep sleep. Even thunder cannot wake him up before dawn. He must be carefully guarded to prevent anyone from sneaking in.
Before Ao Jing could sneak in, she saw Hang Shiqi running out of the tent in a panic.
Ao Jing's heart skipped a beat, how could he have forgotten this? The boss now has a partner, but the other person doesn't seem to know that he is very drunk. He must not have frightened people.
Ao Jing hurriedly stepped forward, stopped Hang Shiqi, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
Hang Qi raised his head and didn't notice Ao Jing's strange dress. His mind was filled with the chaotic scene when Ao Wu kissed him just now. He grabbed Ao Jing's arm like a life-saving straw: "What should I do? What should I do? Ao Wu is crazy!"
Only then did Ao Jing see Hang Shiqi's condition clearly. She saw two clusters of blush on his fair face, his lips were slightly swollen and glistening, and his clothes were a little messy, revealing a delicate collarbone.
Ao Jing looked away, not daring to look again. She could only vaguely advise: "Don't panic, the boss is probably just drunk."
"Drunk? He didn't drink today?" Hang Shiqi stared at Ao Jing with an expression like "I don't study well, so don't lie to me."
"It's not drunkenness, it's drunken moonlight. Some people in our clan are particularly sensitive to moonlight. On the day of the full moon, when exposed to moonlight, they are prone to symptoms similar to drunkenness." Ao Jing thought of Hang Shiqi who was living outside, maybe not
Be clear about this knowledge and explain it to him.
After saying that, he warned uneasily: "This matter is strictly confidential from the outside world. Just know it, and never tell anyone!"
"Oh! So that's it." Hang Shiqi nodded and assured: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Hang Shiqi secretly calculated in his mind. Regarding Ao Wu's abnormal behavior all night, Hang Shiqi had an explanation. He turned out to be drunk! Hang Shiqi also remembered that some people would forget that part of the story after they were drunk.
Memory, maybe Ao Wu Zuiyue can also remember it. Then he has exposed his identity and said stupid things before, so he won't worry about being discovered?
"Then when he gets up tomorrow, will he still remember what happened tonight?" Hang Shiqi asked with hope.
"Maybe I don't remember." Ao Jing remembered that every time Ao Wu woke up after a celebration, he would ask himself about the situation the day before.
"That's great!" Hang Shiqi felt better, his heart was no longer panicked, his face was no longer red, and the matter of being kissed was also forgotten.
"What's so good?" Ao Jing asked puzzledly. He thought that Hang Shiqi asked that question because Hang Shiqi was taken advantage of by the boss just now. It stands to reason that the boss would remember what happened tonight and he would be better off tomorrow.
The boss is asking for justice, but he actually hopes that the boss will not remember this incident? Is it possible that Hang Shiqi is not attracted to the boss at all, and the boss is still in unrequited love?
"It's okay, he just said a few nonsense and has fallen asleep now." Hang Shiqi said half-seriously.
Ao Jing knew at a glance that Hang Shiqi was lying, but the boss couldn't interfere in his feelings, so he pretended to be stupid and didn't ask further questions.
"You've been staying here all night, why don't you go back to sleep?" Hang Shiqi didn't want to go back to the tent, so he leaned against the tent and chatted with Ao Jing.
Ao Jing: "Tonight is when the boss's defense is at its weakest. I must guard him to prevent anyone with evil intentions."
"The weakest moment?" Hang Shiqi repeated this sentence.
Yes, Ao Wu was drunk, completely defenseless against his surroundings, and even his mind was confused. If he wanted to assassinate him, it would be really easy to succeed.
Hang Shiqi suddenly remembered that he was just here to assassinate Ao Wu, the man with "bad intentions"?
Moreover, he lives here. Ao Jing is watching outside and will not guard against him. Ao Wu is sleeping inside and will not guard against him. If he wants to take action, Ao Wu will almost certainly die.
This thought was so strong that the desire to carry out the mission overshadowed everything else. Kill Ao Wu! Kill the King of the North! There was a voice in Hang Shiqi's heart that kept shouting.
"I'm sleepy, I'll go back to sleep." Hang Shiqi said, turning around and returning to the tent.
Ao Jing glanced at Hang Shiqi strangely, always feeling that his tone of voice was not as cheerful and energetic as usual. It was a bit awkward.
However, Ao Jing felt that she might have been worrying too much. A person's tone of voice will be affected by his mood. Maybe Hang Shiqi was just frightened, so he seemed a little dazed.
Hang Shiqi walked towards Ao Wu's bed. He didn't make any noise as usual, but stepped closer, like a cat, gently approaching.
Ao Jing was right, Ao Wu fell into a deep sleep after being drunk.
Unlike usual, Ao Wu would wake up as soon as he got close. This time Hang Shiqi walked to the bed, and the other party's breathing was still steady and long.
He was also wearing the hunting suit he wore during the celebration, with a black background and gold rims with beautiful moire lines. He was gorgeous and majestic. Only two buttons were loosened at the collar, revealing his protruding Adam's apple and honey-colored chest, which slowly rose and fell with his breathing.
Hang Shiqi learned how to assassinate someone more powerful than himself in the underground palace. From the way he walked when sneaking in to choosing the position when assassinating. But these skills are not needed now.
Ao Wu was sleeping soundly. It was easy for him to kill the other person. Even after killing the person, he still had a whole night to escape. If he could make up any reason to leave, Ao Jing would not suspect him at all, and no one else would find out.
.
When Miu Miu is not around, that stupid bird always likes to sneak out and play in the middle of the night. He only comes back at dawn to catch up on his sleep.
Hang Shiqi took out a dagger from the space. The blade's surface glowed with a faint blue light because of the strong poison. This poison comes from the Southern Xia Dream Soul Butterfly. This butterfly can emit a kind of powder. A small amount of the powder can make people drowsy.
A large amount of powder can cause people to die silently in their sleep.
The venom is made by dissolving a large amount of powder, purifying and concentrating it. When applied on the dagger, it can kill a cow within a few seconds. As for how many seconds it takes to kill, Hang Shiqi doesn't know. He may know it soon.
Hang Shiqi was holding the dagger, but his consciousness was still clear. He could clearly know that he was walking towards Ao Wu, but his body was not obeying his orders. As he approached Ao Wu, his walking posture gradually became a little awkward, as if there were two muscles in his body.
The force is pulling him, one wants to kill, but the other doesn't want to. Hang Shiqi can't even tell which one is his original intention.
I want to kill him, why not? Isn’t the task necessary to be completed? Besides, after he kills Ao Wu, he no longer has to stay in the ice and snow, and he no longer has to endure Ao Wu’s rude and rude behavior. He can go back to the south.
Xia eats chicken legs to his heart's content, even twenty chicken legs a day, and no one cares about him.
However, Hang Shiqi's mind flashed back to the scene when Ao Wu took out precious medicinal powder and applied it to his wound that day. It was obviously just a skin injury, but he gave himself the life-saving medicine.
And that day, he jumped into the river to save himself with a worried look on his face. He looked angry at himself. Hang Shiqi knew in his heart that Ao Wu was worried about his own safety. In his memory, no one had ever worried about his own safety like that.
He would also come out to defend himself when Chen Xi bullied him, and would secretly help him vent his anger after finding out that he was being punished. Would...
Hang Shiqi thought of the scorching kiss just now, and his eyes fell on Ao Wu's sleeping face without any precautions. A strange emotion filled his heart.
The thoughts of wanting to kill Ao Wu and the thoughts of not wanting to kill him were torn crazily in Hang Shiqi's mind. He seemed to have split into two selves, desperately fighting for control of his body.
Hang Shiqi leaned down slowly and stiffly, kneeling on the edge of the bed with one knee, and pressed his hand on Ao Wu's side without holding the dagger.
Something cold touched the palm of his hand. Hang Shiqi looked down and saw that it was him who gave Ao Wu the ice soul. In the middle of the night, it reflected a little dark light and exuded a faint fragrance.
The golden dog chain on his chest vibrated violently, making a tinkling sound. Hang Shiqi's breathing was messed up.
The strength in his body was still tearing, controlling Hang Shiqi. His hand involuntarily clenched the dagger and put it close to Ao Wu's neck.
The blade of the dagger is extremely sharp. As long as it gets closer, it will break through the soft surface of the skin like cutting tofu and send toxins into the blood.
Stop, stop. Hang Shiqi finally figured out what he was really thinking. He didn't want to kill Ao Wu. Although he was often very cruel, he punished himself, beat himself, deprived himself of dinner, and even kissed him inexplicably last night.
Himself. But Hang Shiqi didn't hate him in his heart. After all, Ao Wu accepted him and gave him a place to stay.
Compared to that strange and secretive underground palace, he liked this place better in his heart. At least here, he could be himself without any scruples.
But what's going on now? Hang Shiqi desperately tried to control his body, but another force dominated his body and consciousness tyrannically. As soon as the thought of resistance appeared, his head hurt as if it was about to split.
"Woo--" Hang Shiqi bit his lips tightly, his canine teeth piercing the soft lips, and the fishy and salty taste poured into his mouth.
[Be obedient, I won’t hurt you.] It was as if a voice sounded in my ears, which seemed to be real and illusory.
[This is very painful, isn’t it? As long as you give yourself to me, you won’t suffer anymore. 】
"No!" Hang Shiqi became stubborn and fought hard against another force in his mind: "This is my body, my consciousness, get out!"
[Oh, have you forgotten the lesson you learned before?] The voice became stern. At the same time, Hang Shiqi's headache became more severe, as if someone had inserted a drill bit into the top of his head and hit it hard with a hammer again and again.
"Ah!" Hang Shiqi held his head in pain and fell to the ground, and the dagger fell aside. Hang Shiqi's eyes were black from the pain, but he felt that his consciousness had never been clearer. He could clearly feel that there was something else lurking in his body.
A force tried to control him and manipulate him.
Even the pain felt familiar now, as if it was not the first time he had faced the other person like this.
An empty room flashed through Hang Shiqi's mind. He remembered that in the underground palace before, every time he showed his human side, those people would take him into a room full of stones and control him with strange spells.
At that time, he was rolling on the ground in pain.
[Remember it? Does this feel good? I don’t want to punish you like this, my child.]
Indeed, as long as he gives up his own consciousness and obeys the control of those people, he can be freed from pain. But at the same time, his consciousness will be completely swallowed up by that energy and become an unconscious puppet.
Hang Shiqi doesn't want to be a puppet. He doesn't want to kill Ao Wu. He wants to be a living person, not a murderous knife in the hands of others.
"I am not your child, you are a cocoon rat, and I am a husky. From the moment I left the underground palace, I have nothing to do with you." Hang Shiqi held the chest chain with his hand, and a gentle force eased the drama above his head.
The pain was just like when I saved him countless times in the underground palace.
[Husky, aren’t you a Frostwolf?] The voice paused for a moment.
[Forget it, nothing matters. You have to know that the bond between you and us is engraved in your soul. You can only obey and be an obedient dog under my hands forever and ever. 】
It is impossible to be obedient, Hang Qi will never be obedient in his life.
"You made a mistake. Not all dogs are safe if they are on a chain. At least not huskies. Remember, my nickname is 'Let Me Go'!"
"Zheng" seemed to have a pulling thread disconnected in his mind. The pain disappeared, and the power controlling Hang Qiyi also disappeared. Hang Qiyi leaned on the bed, sat upright, breathing heavily. Then slowly,
He grinned widely, pointed his middle finger at the void.
If you want to control me, do it in the next life! Bah! Hang Shiqi's thinking became clearer. Although his memory was still only one year, he already understood that those who assigned him tasks and trained others in the underground palace should be controlling others now. Perhaps he had lost his memory before.
It’s also about these people.
Hang Shiqi got up from the ground. His clothes were soaked with cold sweat. He took them off at any time and threw them aside. He took a breath, picked up the dagger from the carpet on the side, and put it into the space.
"You are so lucky. If it had been someone else, you would have died." Hang Shiqi lay down next to Ao Wu and said to himself: "So if I didn't kill you, I would have saved you. I will be able to save you in the future."
You are the savior! A hundred chicken drumsticks as a reward is not too much!"
After saying that, he laughed to himself for a while, and then sighed melancholy. He couldn't really tell Ao Wu that he was a killer, otherwise the other party might not only not give him a hundred chicken legs, but also stew him.
Make a pot of dog meat soup.
The secret of being a killer must still be rotten in his stomach, and it has to do with the fact that he is Erha. From tomorrow on, he will always be so pure that he can no longer be a pure hybrid frost wolf!
***
Southern Xia, in the underground palace, in the stone room.
Dozens of young people sat in a circle. In the middle was an altar made of spar, which was engraved with strange and complicated patterns. In the middle, an old man with gray hair and pale face sat cross-legged, his eyes closed.
Suddenly, the old man's whole body trembled and he opened his eyes.
The young people sitting in a circle all vomited a large mouthful of blood.
Shocked and unwilling, the old man covered his chest, coughed a few times, and murmured: "How is it possible that it failed?"
"Teacher?" The leading young man stood up and walked to the central altar. He knelt on one knee in front of the old man and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
The old man waved his hand, with deep regret in his eyes: "This small injury does not matter, I just didn't expect that a cocoon orc could escape my control. I missed a perfect assassination opportunity in vain!"
The young man's face changed slightly, but he didn't expect that the cause of the backlash was this: "How is this possible? Hasn't the cocoon beastman been wiped out of his self-awareness long ago? How can he escape from control?"
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, banged his fist on the palm of his hand, and asked, "Is that the one named Hang Shiqi?"
He remembered that among the latest batch of cocoon orcs released, Hang Qiqi had always been an outlier. When he was cleared of self-awareness, he didn't know what went wrong. He often went out of control, and later he was given several more consciousness-raising procedures.
Cleaning, I thought it would be fine, but I didn’t expect...
"That's him." The old man sighed: "I was greedy. Ordinarily, if the sample is wrong, it should be destroyed immediately. But his animal shape is so similar to that of a frost wolf, he has rare natural power, and his physique is also excellent, so I thought
If you keep him, maybe he can be used..."
"How can you blame the teacher? The teacher has cleansed his consciousness many times. No one would have thought that he could still retain consciousness under such circumstances." The young man said quickly: "His identity is to assassinate the Wolf King.
It was originally the most suitable, but the failure now can only be said to be God's failure to bless our family. It is definitely not your problem, teacher."
The old man benefited from what he heard, his face softened, and he touched his chin: "But it's not without gain. Just now when I tried to control Hang Shiqi, I got a crucial piece of information from his mind. The Wolf King of the North Ao Wu was on the night of the full moon.
, if exposed to the moonlight, it will produce a drunken moon reaction and fall into drowsiness. This is the perfect time for us to take action."
The young man's eyes lit up: "Then as long as we find someone else to get close to the Wolf King and lure him out on the next full moon night, wouldn't we be able to easily get rid of him?"
"That's right. Shujin," the old man called the young man's name: "This time you personally select a group of Cocoon Orcs to accompany you north, pretending to be merchants and heading to Yuehua City. You have two tasks for this trip. First, find an opportunity to get close.
Hang Shiqi, re-establish control over him and take him back to Southern Xia. Second, kill the Wolf King on the next full moon night."
"Yes! Shujin will not disappoint the teacher!" The young man understood that such a task represented the teacher's respect and was also an opportunity for him to express himself. As long as they killed the Wolf King of the North, their plan would have taken a big step forward. He is a member of the Cocoon Rat Clan.
The hero has a better chance of winning when competing with his brothers for the position of successor.
Since there is a task to be done, of course it must be as foolproof as possible. Shujin thought about it carefully and said: "It's just that Yuehua City has strict rules. Even if I pretend to be a businessman and sneak into the city, it will be difficult to get close to the Wolf King of the North."
The old man took out a crescent-shaped jade talisman: "Don't worry, you are my student, I will not let you take risks. Take this token and go to the Frostwolf Clan Elders Hall, and someone will naturally pick you up."
Shu Jin finally held the Crescent Jade Tablet in his hand and said in surprise: "He is from the Elder Hall of the Frostwolf Clan? Don't the orcs from the Seven Royal Clan always think highly of themselves? How could they cooperate with us?"
The old man: "Silly boy, people all have selfish desires. Even if they are members of the royal family, not everyone supports the royal family's rule. Many of them cannot help themselves, do not get what they want, and want to destroy their existence."
Shujin hesitated: "But this person is from the Frostwolf clan after all. Is it credible?"
The old man shook his head: "He can even betray his own people, so he cannot be trusted. We are just using each other. When he is no longer useful, you can just deal with him without leaving any traces."
It was already the next morning when Ao Wu woke up. On the second day of Zuiyue, he would not have a hangover and headache like drinking alcohol. Instead, he would feel refreshed due to high-quality sleep.
When Ao Wu stood up, his fingers caught something furry.
Turning his head, he saw Hang Shiqi forming a small ball facing his steering wheel. He caught it by himself, and it was his tail.
Hang Shiqi didn't wake up when his tail was grabbed. He turned over and rolled his tail into his arms, smacking his lips dissatisfied.
He had exhausted all his energy last night and was very sleepy now.
Hang Shiqi originally had his back to Ao Wu, but when he turned around, his front face was revealed.
His lips were red and swollen, with bite marks faintly visible on them. His clothes were randomly thrown on the ground, and he was not wearing any clothes.
Ao Wu's breath was suffocated when he saw it. He stiffly pulled off the quilt and covered Hang Shiqi. He tried to recall what happened last night. He remembered that he brought Hang Shiqi back to the room. The two seemed to have chatted for a few words, but he couldn't remember the content.
Cleared up, I just remember that I seemed to be going to sleep at the end...
Fragments of memory appeared in Ao Wu's mind, and Ao Wu remembered that he seemed to have kissed Hang Shiqi before going to bed yesterday. It was not the kind of kiss that he only tasted and stopped, but the kind of kiss that was greedy and domineering, as if he wanted to eat the person into his belly.
Ao Wu subconsciously reached out and touched his lips. He seemed to be able to recall the soft touch and lingering sweet smell on his lips. It proved to him that he remembered that these were not some illusory dreams.
Ao Wu put on his clothes and was about to get out of bed, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a bit of blue fluorescence on the leather at the foot of the bed. He immediately became alert.
Being on the throne is doomed to face countless malicious and all-pervasive assassinations. Identifying toxins has become a basic course.
Ao Wu took out a piece of cotton cloth and twisted the blue color on the fur. He brought it close to the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully - it was the Dream Soul Butterfly that quenched the toxin. The Dream Soul Butterfly lives in Southern Xia, and it is not uncommon. But such a drop of the Dream Soul Butterfly's venom
, it is necessary to extract thousands of dream soul butterfly powders and refine them repeatedly, which is extremely expensive and cannot be produced by ordinary people.
This kind of venom is generally not carried alone, but is smeared on a sharp weapon and then pierced into the target's vitals, so that it can quietly take away other people's lives in a very short time.
In other words, someone successfully sneaked into his tent last night with a poison-quenching weapon and stayed briefly.
Ao Wu called Ao Jing into the tent and asked straight to the point: "Did anyone come to this tent last night?"
Ao Jing: "No, last night was very peaceful. Not long after you took Hang Shiqi back to the tent, he came out once. His mood seemed a little wrong at that time. He chatted with me for a few words and then went back by himself.
No one has been here since."
"In other words, if someone assassinated me last night, it could only be Hang Shiqi." Ao Wu fully trusted Ao Jing. In this way, he and Hang Shiqi were the only ones in the tent last night. Ao Wu remembered,
Hang Shiqi seemed to have lived in Southern Xia for a period of time before coming to the north.
"Someone assassinated you last night?" Ao Jing's heart tightened, and she suddenly raised her head and put her hands on her knees: "It was a subordinate who failed in his duty. Boss, are you injured?"
Ao Jing had seen Ao Wu in his post-Zuiyue state. He was almost completely defenseless. If someone really bypassed his guards and sneaked into the tent, Ao Wu could be said to be at his mercy.
"He didn't do anything. He only found a little bit of soul-destroying butterfly venom at the foot of the bed." Ao Wu said, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Hang Shiqi, who was still sleeping soundly in the bed.
"The Broken Soul Butterfly!" Ao Jing gasped, and at the same time she couldn't help but get scared. Fortunately, she didn't take action. Otherwise, if something happened to the boss, he would be dead. But why did the other party walk to the bed but didn't take action?
?Ao Jing's eyes drifted involuntarily to Hang Shiqi. He couldn't be the one who brought the poison in as a prank, right? But how could he do such a prank with such an expensive toxin when he looked so poor?
Even now, Ao Jing has no doubt that Hang Shiqi will really be harmful to the boss. His heartless look is definitely not what a trained assassin would have. Even if he is acting, it is difficult to fake it to this extent.
.
However, all the evidence points to Hang Shiqi, so naturally Ao Jing cannot be too lazy: "My subordinates will interrogate carefully and investigate clearly."
"No, you just pretend you don't know about this," Ao Wu said.
Ao Jing became anxious: "But if we don't check it out, it will always be a hidden danger. What if next time..."
"I just have to wait for the next time." Ao Wu interrupted him: "Since the other party already knows that I can Zuiyue, they will definitely find an opportunity to attack again. I just wait and wait."
"Yes." Ao Jing understood what Ao Wu meant. He planned to use himself as bait and wait for the rabbit to catch the rabbit: "Then Hang Shiqi..."
"Of course he still stays with me. Since he gave me Youtan Ice Soul as a gift in public, I accepted it. This means that he has been recognized by the outside world as my future partner."
Ao Wu: "Aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about? Is Hang Shiqi the killer?" Ao Wu thought of Hang Shiqi's naive look when he asked about the identity of the Wolf King. An unknown chuckle escaped from his throat. If the killer was really Hang Shiqi, then he might
I want to say thank you to the people behind it.
For the first time, Ao Wu didn't wake up Hang Shiqi, and let him sleep until three o'clock in the morning. It wasn't until Ao Jing came to report that it was time to set off, that he patted Hang Shiqi through the quilt and woke him up: "Wake up."
"Well -" Hang Shiqi made a long nasal sound, stretched his body and rolled around, then slowly opened his blue eyes: "Good morning, Boss Ao Wu."
Because I slept for too long, my voice sounded a little hoarse and a little bit milky and nasal.
"It's getting late, it's time to set off." Ao Wu had already changed out of yesterday's fancy clothes and put on a simple hunting suit.
"Let's go?" Hang Shiqi had just woken up and his head was still a little dull: "Where to go?"
Ao Wu: "Go back to the royal city today. Aren't you going to find the King of the North?"
"Aren't you the Wolf King of the North..." Hang Shiqi muttered, his head suddenly clearing up. Scenes of what happened last night went through his mind, the celebration, being brought back by Ao Wu, discovering Ao Wu's identity, kissing him inexplicably, no
Assassinate under control, struggle to break free from control, until you fall asleep from exhaustion...
So many things have happened, but Ao Wu didn't even know that he had fallen off his horse. This can only show one fact! Ao Wu really doesn't remember what happened last night!
Hang ** is happy, the fact that he is Erha has not been exposed, and no one knows that he is a killer. As long as he pretends to be a frost wolf and forgets that the mission exists, he can stay in the north and live happily!
"Did you know?" Ao Wu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked calmly: "When did you know?"
Hang Shiqi pretended to be calm and complained first: "Speak for yourself last night. You are such a bad person. You already knew that I was looking for the Wolf King of the North, and you deliberately lied to me for so long."
Ao Wu looked at his dishonest eyes that were wandering around, but without trying to expose him, he followed the words and asked: "Now that you have found him, can you tell me why you are looking for me?"
Hang Shiqi was instantly stuck. What's the matter? Isn't it just about assassinating you?
"Actually, it's nothing. I just heard that the Wolf King of the North is tall, mighty and powerful. I admire him in my heart and want to come and pay him a visit." Hang Shiqi started to talk nonsense.
Ao Wu teased: "The admiration in your heart is that you want to give birth to a baby for me?"
This time it was Hang Shiqi's turn to blush. After all, he clearly remembered how this serious-looking guy pressed him down yesterday and made shameful remarks like "You can only give me babies."
"No, don't talk nonsense. It's just an exaggerated rhetoric! Do you understand rhetoric?" Hang ** shouted: "I am a man, you are a man, and we can't have a baby."
Ao Wu: "I am a male and you are a female. Why can't I have children?"
"What?" This was not the first time that Hang Shiqi heard the term "female". Others said that he could regard it as nonsense, but Ao Wu was not a person who liked nonsense. He had to re-examine his relationship with this word: "
What do you mean I'm a female?"
Ao Wu knew that Hang Shiqi had some gaps in common sense, but he did not expect that he even had a blank understanding of gender: "Female and male are the other genders of orcs besides male and female. Because it is difficult to distinguish from the appearance, male orcs are born
Sometimes, there will be a tooth-shaped tattoo on the face, but the female does not."
Ao Wu paused after saying this and looked at Hang Shiqi.
Hang Shiqi was stunned, then ran naked to the bronze mirror and looked left and right. No, his face was naked, only there were three clusters of flame lines on his forehead.
"Does this count?" Hang Shiqi asked pitifully, pointing to the lines on his forehead.
"Of course not." Ao Wu said cruelly.
The last glimmer of hope was shattered. Hang Shiqi heard his worldview crackle into pieces, and when the wind blew, not even ashes were left.
After being a man for nineteen years, he is actually a female?
"Put your clothes on," Ao Wu reminded.
"Oh!" Hang Shiqi then hurriedly went to the ground to get his clothes, and asked while putting them on: "Aside from facial tattoos, what are the differences between females and males?"
Ao Wu raised the corner of his mouth and said with some meaning: "Females can give birth to cubs."
Baby! Baby! Baby?
These three words have almost become a curse for Hang Shiqi. Imagine giving birth to a baby with a full belly, and the worldview that Hang Shiqi finally put together is once again shattered.
He even grabbed the waistband of his pants in an inelegant manner and glanced down. The parts were still there. How could he turn into a female? He asked Ao Wu unwillingly: "Is it possible that I made a mistake, like me?"
Something happened when I was born, and I didn’t have time to have my face tattooed.”
Ao Wu: "You don't have to worry about this. All orcs are born in animal form, and must be assisted by a guardian priest to complete the first form transformation, otherwise they will not survive. After the transformation, the guardian priest will use tattoos to confirm the gender.
Mark it, so there is no possibility of mistaken gender for any living orc."
Hang Shiqi thought blankly, so she is really a female orc?
Ao Wu looked at Hang Shiqi's drooped ears, paused, and said, "If you don't believe it, I can accompany you to the priest's hall to confirm again when you return to the royal city."
"The priest can still watch this?" Hang Shiqi was shocked.
Ao Wu: "Shuang Yu can. His ability is insight. He can see into the past, present and future."
Hang Shiqi: "Past and future? Isn't this too outrageous?"
Ao Wu: "There is a price to pay for obtaining information. The more specific the information, the higher the price. Especially information about the future."
"Oh." This is quite reasonable.
Hang Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief and decided to stay away from Shuang Yu in the future. If the other party saw through it, it would be okay. Wouldn't it be known within minutes that he was here to assassinate Ao Wu?:,,,
