Chapter 80: Chasing the Soul
Seeing that the five people opposite were chatting in a lively manner, Lu Jin quickly turned his head away and asked Zhang Lian softly: "You said those four people are all ace assassins. What are their backgrounds?"
"What? Don't call me crazy now." Zhang Lian rolled her eyes at Lu Jin and replied calmly.
"Oh, my aunt, why are you still worrying about this? Come on, tell me. I have to think about how to kill these guys. Otherwise, it will be too late." Lu Jin spoke hastily, his eyes and eyebrows almost twisted. When they got together, they seemed very anxious.
Zhang Lian glanced sideways at Lu Jin, then turned her head back. Then she said with a nonchalant look: "Okay then. I will tell you now. But after you listen, I guess. I don’t have the courage anymore.” After saying that, Zhang Lian sighed. Then she raised her head and stared at the few people talking and laughing in front of her. She calmed down and continued:
"The four of them are actually four orphans adopted by Gao Peng, the number one assassin under Emperor Gao at that time. They have been rigorously trained as assassins since they were young. Because of Gao Peng's personal teachings, these four people have made rapid progress in martial arts, so they are often sent by the imperial court. They went to carry out an assassination mission. Each of the four people had weird personalities. Therefore, when carrying out assassination missions, their methods were extremely cruel. Entire families were often killed by them.
Moreover, the death conditions of each of them were extremely horrific. Because of this, they quickly became the most terrifying assassins under Emperor Gao. For this reason, Emperor Gao personally assigned four people to seek ruthless, unbridled, and undecided souls. The four royal names of Wu Ming. Because of this, the world calls them 'life-seeking and soul-chasing'."
"Emperor Gao, so to speak, they are members of the imperial court." After hearing Zhang Lian's introduction, Lu Jin felt full of doubts in his heart. He frowned and continued to ask.
"Yeah." Zhang Lian nodded softly, which was regarded as an answer to Lu Jin.
"Oh. So it's the secret agent Ouchi." Seeing Zhang Lian's sincere answer, Lu Jin nodded and said with sudden realization. However, this sentence sounded strange and strange to Zhang Lian, so he turned around curiously. asked:
"Agent Ouchi. What kind of job is this?"
After hearing Zhang Lian's question, Lu Jin quickly came back to his senses. There was a trace of embarrassment on his face. He thought to himself: Why did he bring out the words and phrases from his previous life? This is not something that can be explained clearly in a few sentences. Besides, time is tight now. There is no time to explain clearly. Business is more important. So Lu Jin coughed twice and continued:
"It's not a job. It's nothing. I'm just thinking that if they don't stay well in the capital, why would they go to this remote place? And they also work hard for Lingjihou. Isn't this self-degradation?"
After listening to Lu Jin's words, Zhang Lian did not pursue the meaning of Ouchi's secret agents too much. Instead, she replied with a puzzled face: "I don't know about this either. I only know that they have been silent for many years. In addition, I have seen them before." There are almost no survivors among them, so no one knows their whereabouts. As for how they were recruited into Lingjihou's command, I also find it strange."
"No way. You still know so much when you are not alive. You are not making this up, are you?" Lu Jin rolled his eyes at Zhang Lian and said in a strange tone.
"That's what my father told me. He told me to avoid them as much as possible when I encounter them." Zhang Lian said in a hurry.
"Your father has seen them. Could it be that your father is also from the imperial court."
"Don't talk nonsense. My father has never been an official or an official. He also heard what his friends in the world said." Zhang Lian swallowed her saliva, then raised her head towards those people and continued. : "According to what my father said, among the four of them, Su Qingqing is the best in martial arts. He is good at using the hidden sword and has a large sword that no one can match. However, this person is relatively dull and doesn't like other people's noise. If he doesn't like to hear it, he just needs to go to the court. If you wait for him to say a few more words, he will kill that person. So anyone who sees him shouting will basically die. This is why I didn't let you speak out just now."
"Oh, I see. It's that unkempt guy. I didn't expect him to be such an otaku." Lu Jin looked at the silent Suo Qingwu and said with some emotion.
Zhang Lian ignored Lu Jin's words and continued: "I am destined to be Wuji. He uses a pair of black iron claws. His light kung fu skills are rare in the world. He is also elusive. This person is good at Longyang. Therefore, he specializes in killing women. No. Kill the man."
"I know. I've known for a long time that he is gay."
"The third child, Chai Wuding, is a flower picker. He bullies men and bullies women. He is also extremely powerful. He is good at using two black iron axes. He is the most ferocious of the four."
"Understood. Let alone a real pervert. Even if he isn't, girls will hate him because of how bad he looks." Lu Jin was still talking to himself about those guys, squinting his eyes. He spoke involuntarily.
After listening to Lu Jin's words, Zhang Lian's face turned rosy. She glanced at Lu Jin sideways and continued: "The fourth soul is Wuming. He is superb in acupuncture skills. He is also very good in Qinggong. This person likes to be clean. As long as he thinks that person is dirty, he will kill him mercilessly." After Zhang Lian finished speaking, she paused, then looked Lu Jin up and down, and continued half-jokingly:
"Especially a stinky man like you who hasn't bathed for a thousand years. He will be the first to kill you."
"Hehehe." Lu Jin listened to Zhang Lian's words. He didn't say anything like before. Instead, he laughed to himself.
Lu Jin's smile made Zhang Lian a little confused. She was almost in a desperate situation. How could she have the heart to laugh? Could it be that she didn't understand clearly? So she asked Lu Jin doubtfully: "What are you happy about?"
"I'm not happy about anything. I just feel that this perfect man who hasn't bathed for a thousand years has finally found the opponent he has been waiting for. You must know that I am an autocratic mysophobia." Lu Jin had a very indifferent smile on his face. He said to Zhang Lian calmly.
But Zhang Lian was a little confused by Lu Jin's vague words. But it was hard to ask. She just continued to say with concern: "Don't look at the fight between the four of them when they first arrived. It was because they were testing each other. Have each other's martial arts deteriorated? So there is no killing move at all. I heard that the four of them have a good relationship. It is absolutely impossible for them to attack each other."
"I didn't say that we should let them attack each other. This countermeasure is too childish. I am too lazy to use it. This time I will teach you what it means to defeat each other." At this time, Lu Jin was already full of confidence when he spoke. His tone also had a bit of confidence. But it seemed to Zhang Lian that it was just Lu Jin's usual bragging. The right time, place and people were not on his side. Wanting to win was pure fantasy.
Just when Lu Jin and Zhang Lian were thinking together with different thoughts, a temporary silence suddenly appeared between them. But not long after, Lu Jin continued to ask Zhang Lian:
"What is the origin of that sergeant?"
"I don't know. He looks like an ordinary sergeant. He should be a messenger." Zhang Lian glanced at the eloquent sergeant standing among the four people and said without thinking.
"Oh. I think so too." After saying that, Lu Jin paused again. Then he stretched his neck and looked at those people. Then he turned his head and said to Zhang Lian with a cunning smile: "Hey, tell me, if I kill these four people, can I become famous in the assassin world?"
"It's more than just making a name for yourself. In the future, some young assassins will circle around you when they hear your name." After Zhang Lian finished speaking, Lu Jin smiled proudly. But before Lu Jin's face could turn on, The smile spread to its maximum. Then Zhang Lian continued:
"I'm afraid you don't have the ability. So I advise you to stay calm."
"You will find out later whether I have this ability. If we fall into their hands, we will all die. Since we will die sooner or later, we might as well give it a try. Oh, that's not right. Wife, you don't usually Are they all shouting to be beaten? Why is this happening..."
"Don't you know that I am injured? It would be great if I could bring you here on horseback." Zhang Lian rolled her eyes at Lu Jin and said angrily.
"Hehe. I was knocked unconscious by these four perverts. I forgot all about your injuries, my wife. But don't worry. I will definitely settle this account with them. You can just take care of it then." said Lu Jin A sly smile appeared on his face. He looked like a cunning wolf, looking for the weakness of his opponent. He looked so cunning and evil, but without losing wisdom and courage. In a word, Lu Jin has made up his mind to face off against those so-called ace assassins...
But at this time, the people opposite Lu Jin were not as happy and happy as he saw from a distance. Instead, the atmosphere was awkward and solemn.
"What did you say just now? You want to use this boy as bait to lure the saints of 'Huaqing Pavilion' to take the bait. Then let us brothers kill him. What is Liao Ze'an's intention? This is not obvious to us. Let's fight." After the soldier finished explaining what Liao Ze had ordered, Ming Wuji, who was neither male nor female, was the first to break the silence and said in a sinister tone.
"Yes. Then what does Liao Ze mean? Who in the world knows that the 'saint' of Huaqing Pavilion has unfathomable skills. Even if she is a master, she may not be her opponent. Although she is a beautiful woman, I can't chase her. Ding is still self-aware. I won't do this." Zhui Wuding, a big and powerful man, jumped up and spat at the sergeant, shouting loudly.
"What the two eldest brothers of Xiaosheng are saying is that not everyone can afford to offend the 'Saint Girl'. We brothers don't want to be pawns for others." The fourth child, a hysterical maniac named Wuming, unfolded a folding fan on his chest. He fanned himself and agreed casually.
On the other hand, the boss, Suo Qingqing, stood there without saying a word. However, one could see that his face was tensed. An inexplicable flush was already looming on his cheeks. It was obvious from a glance that he was very dissatisfied with what the sergeant said just now.
The sergeant looked around at the four murderous weirdos. Instead of being intimidated by their murderous eyes and ferocious faces, he bowed to the four of them with a smile on his face. It doesn't matter. He said slowly:
"You heroes don't accept this matter. I understand it very much. However, I don't know when the secret letter on my Marquis disappeared. If it was taken by someone from the imperial court, how many people would be there by then? A little assassin is here to deal with you..."
"Stop talking. We've done this." Before the sergeant could finish his words, Suo Wuqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said loudly, with a tense face on the side. Only the three remaining brothers were shocked and hurried forward. They all shouted in unison: "Brother, why are you..."
But before the brothers could finish speaking, Suo Qingqing held his hand for a moment to stop everyone. Then he stepped forward. With his eyes that had seen countless killings and baptized with blood, he stared at the sergeant, and then spoke word by word. Said: "You go back and tell Liao Ze. It's best for him to keep his promise. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless."
"As long as the four heroes agree to this, my Lord Marquis will definitely do what he says." As he said, the sergeant turned around, put his feet on the ground, and jumped onto the high wall with a whoosh. Then his body shape In a flash, it disappeared into the vast night.
Seeing the sergeant walking away, several brothers gathered around Suo Qingwu. They wanted to speak, but were interrupted by Suo Wuqing's wave again. At the same time, Suo Wuqing raised his head, looked up at the dark night sky, and closed his head. With a hint of complaint and a hint of regret in his eyes, he said:
