Chapter 29 Chapter 29 [VIP]
The tip of the knife stabbed at him at an angle. Even though the woman shouted to stop him, the man seemed to be in a state of shock and didn't even know how to stop!
Ling Suye couldn't tell whether this was a real killing or a fake one.
He decided to take a gamble.
At the critical moment.
"Clang!" The woman swung the sword in her hand, knocking the man's knife aside and causing it to go straight into the window.
He is indeed a master.
Even though he was severely poisoned, the sword still struck with perfect precision.
Ling Suye's breathing was disordered. He looked at the woman who almost collapsed in the room, then looked at the man holding a knife in both hands, and turned to leave.
"Don't move," the woman's voice, hoarse from the poison, came from behind. "Take another step, and I'll kill you."
Ling Suye stepped back, gritting his teeth and saying, "You, you are trying to kill me for money."
"Heh," the woman scoffed, "for you, 'plucking flowers and robbing women' might be a more appropriate term. Come here, come closer, and help me up."
"Just let him come," Ling Suye said solemnly, "I'm not your servant."
Unexpectedly, the woman's next move was to lift her long legs, and a bench flew out, with the leg of the bench piercing the man's neck.
He didn't have time to say a word. His eyes widened as he looked at Ling Suye in front of him in disbelief, and slowly, slowly fell down.
Even Ling Suye, who had witnessed many tragic scenes, felt a chill down his spine when he saw this.
The woman said, "Now you are my servant."
Ling Suye walked forward, stood in front of the woman, and squatted down with an embarrassed but obligatory expression.
He first gently supported the woman's forearm with his right hand, and reached back with his left hand to support her other arm.
At this moment - Ling Suye inserted a golden needle into the woman's spine with lightning speed!
The woman reacted quickly. She rolled on the ground and slapped Ling Suye at the same time.
Her palm strike was so swift that Ling Suye's martial arts were crippled. Even if he tried to dodge, he couldn't move as fast as a woman. He took the blow head-on and immediately fell to his knees, spitting out a mouthful of flesh and blood mixed with viscera.
Ling Suye panted, pulled out the dagger from his calf, and pressed it against the woman's neck: "Don't move, or I'll kill you."
The poison on the golden needle was very strong. In a moment, the woman's limbs became limp.
But the counterattack at the moment the golden needle entered his body also took half of Ling Suye's life.
This was even though she had been poisoned and had no weapons at hand.
If she hadn't thrown away the sword just now, Ling Suye would probably have been beheaded by now!
"It was you who poisoned me. I thought it was someone from the Du'e Division. I never thought that you, someone who has never practiced martial arts, could force me to this point." The woman wanted to laugh, but her cheeks were already stiff, and her smile looked like a ghost. "How did you find out my identity?"
The woman was now completely unable to move. Ling Suye dragged her with one hand and walked to the door and closed it tightly.
The woman lowered her eyes and looked at the man lying on the ground, almost blending into the stool. "He's not as energetic as you. I really regret not sleeping with you earlier."
Ling Suye was not irritated by her: "You should save your energy to think about how to answer my question later."
The woman narrowed her eyes and said, "You didn't just discover my identity suddenly, but you've been following me all along?"
"You are my prey now. I ask you questions, and you must answer them. As for your doubts, I can consider resolving them later." Ling Suye noticed that after the woman had distracted him earlier, she was holding the token with a trembling hand. A thought struck him, and he changed his tone, saying, "Who are you, 'Dai'?"
When he wanted to kill the man before, he also tried hard to reach out and grab the token.
This time, this woman is also.
Ling Suye thought that this token might be used to convey a message to other people.
Why not, just take advantage of the situation.
The woman had originally made up her mind that even if Ling Suye wanted to kill her, she would not say a word.
But this first question scared her so much that she almost jumped up from the floor: "You really know about the organization!"
Ling Suye made up this question randomly.
There was no other reason, it was just that the man’s token had the word "Dai" on it, and the token that the woman dropped downstairs also had the same word on it.
So, can we infer that women and men are of the same level and both belong to the "Dai" generation?
"Answer me." Ling Suye spat out the blood foam that kept flowing out of his mouth, but his voice remained very steady. "I will answer your questions later."
"You are indeed related to the murderer who killed Dai Er. You must have a huge organization that has investigated our weaknesses and knew that I like handsome men. First, you arranged a loser to be by my side to let me relax my vigilance, and then let you take ruthless action?" said the woman.
It turns out that the man he killed was called 'Dai Er'.
They are indeed ranked according to the generation name "Dai"!
"You are cruel and unjust. We kill you just to enforce justice." Ling Suye's words were shocking.
Even though he was alone, now that this woman had misunderstood him, he went with the flow and pretended to have a huge organization.
If the woman really spread the news, it would surely make the other organization cautious for a while.
"Since when have you been following me - or is this male favorite who has been with me for three years actually yours?" The woman continued to ask with red eyes.
"You have already brutally killed him, and you still come to ask me?" Ling Suye's voice was full of sorrow.
"Okay, since we both have questions, how about we each ask one and the other person must answer?" the woman said uncharacteristically.
Ling Suye's heart was beating wildly. He felt that this must have been arranged by the person behind the woman.
"It's too late." After saying that, Ling Suye slashed with his dagger, and the woman fell to the ground.
The token slipped from her hand.
Ling Suye found a piece of cloth to wrap it up to isolate it from any contact with qi and blood.
Although he still hadn't figured out the purpose of the token, he had already guessed a little based on the actions of Dai Er and the woman.
Before this, Ling Suye was worried that these tokens would react when they got close, so he always carried Dai Er's token with him for fear of being discovered by them.
But the appearance of this woman dispelled Ling Suye's doubts.
——The people living next door didn’t notice the existence of Dai Er’s token. It is very likely that these tokens cannot sense each other.
At least, when the number is small, they will not sense each other.
Ling Suye put away the token, pulled out the knife stuck in the window frame, quickly returned to the next room, changed into clean clothes, and used herbal juice to cover up the blood on his body.
"Waiter, bring breakfast." Ling Suye shouted to the waiter downstairs.
The waiter immediately agreed.
Wait until the waiter finishes delivering breakfast and leaves.
Ling Suye then returned to the woman's room, wiped away the blood that had spurted out of him, and even cleaned the floor.
He looked at the mattress and there was no blood on it.
Then he checked the other walls and quietly returned to the house.
·
As soon as he entered the room, he collapsed to the floor.
I really don't have any strength in my body.
It was now bright outside, and many people who had slept in came out for a walk.
But Ling Suye felt like a year had passed.
Ever since he discovered in the morning that the woman had an affair with the Black-Robed Iron Guard, he had been on edge, like a man walking on a tightrope, only daring to move forward, because apart from the tightrope under his feet, everything else was an abyss and an illusion.
Ling Suye took soft breaths, and only after a long time did he realize that his fingers had been in a state of tense spasm.
He got up from the ground, poured a cup of cold tea, and drank it slowly, sip by sip.
The cold water entering his throat stirred up his spirits a little, but his body only gushed out more blood.
Ling Suye thought, oh no, I was so nervous that I forgot I had just been hit by a palm.
He tore open his shirt in front of his chest and took out the golden needles for treatment from his inner collar. His eyes were empty and lifeless, but his slender jade-like fingers pierced several major acupuncture points steadily, accurately and ruthlessly.
——The vomiting of blood was temporarily stopped.
Ling Suye thought that on one side he was surrounded by the Black-robed Iron Guards, who came to investigate the cause of death of Dai Er, who died from the Death Gu; on the other side was the princess's entourage, who were accompanied by her personal guards and people from the Du'e Division.
Neither side is someone he can afford to offend.
The fortunate thing is that the Du'e Division has nothing to do with this Black-Cloaked Iron Guard.
Also, Yunniang, who was captured by Du'e Si, is not in danger of life for the time being.
·
After Gu Xuanyou was checked and found to have no weapons on him, he was allowed to enter the princess's sedan chair.
Still, because of the curtains and screens, the visitor could not see the princess's appearance.
"Who entrusted you to come to the Ling family in Mobei, and who are you loyal to?" The princess' voice was cold, but it contained freedom and majesty.
Gu Xuanyou opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, this is a private matter..."
"I am here, you have no right to talk about private matters." There was an overbearing tone in her voice that left no room for questioning.
Seeing that Gu Xuanyou was still hesitant, Zhou Zhi turned to him and asked, "Did that person ask you not to tell anyone else about this?"
“No.”
Zhou Zhi said, "You can speak freely."
Gu Xuanyou knew very well that he could not escape this time.
If it wasn't the princess, he could still argue with her, but the one sitting on the high seat was the princess, and his resistance and struggle would only cause trouble.
"Your Highness, I have been entrusted by Master Wen of the Ancient City of Loulan to come and find Senior Ling Ping..."
Before he could finish his words, the woman behind the curtain suddenly slammed her hand on the low table. The sound was loud and if you listened carefully, there seemed to be a tremor.
Gu Xuanyou had witnessed enough power struggles within the aristocratic circles of the Upper Capital over the previous decade or so to completely disengage himself from them. He finished his words bluntly, "The craftsman said to find Senior Ling Ping and tell him, 'The task you entrusted to me is complete, so don't worry about me.' Therefore, although I knew Yunniang had disappeared, I had no idea she was even here."
"Oh," the princess asked, a little lost in thought, "since you brought Master Wen's message, did he give you anything?"
Gu Xuanyou wondered how the princess knew about the longbow.
However, the master felt that carrying the longbow all the way was too ostentatious, so he had already entrusted Xiao Jin to transport the longbow to Shangjing City.
Gu Xuanyou answered honestly: "No."
"Why did Master Wen entrust the task to you alone?" the princess asked again.
"Because, because Master Wen is about to disappear, I am probably the last person he can entrust his trust to."
The speaker may not have meant it, but the listener took it to heart. The princess's spine immediately bent. She was silent for a long time before she spoke: "What are your plans after you finish saying this?"
"Junior..." Gu Xuanyou was still hesitant, and the princess said directly, "As you all know, recruit him into the Du'e Division and return to Shangjing City with me."
Gu Xuanyou's eyes widened: "?"
Zhou Zhi, who had always been obedient, actually stood up to object. He knelt on his knees and pleaded, "Your Highness, the Du'e Division only accepts demon catchers. This is the ancestral rule."
"Ancestor? Ha, Zhou Zhi, remember, this princess's rules are the only rules."
