[Section 6] Tips
Nie Fu had something he didn't tell his supervisor.
Yesterday evening, the inn in the barracks sent an oil paper package to Nie Fu, saying it was an express delivery from the capital. After Nie Fu received it, he found that it contained a tips bag. When Nie Fu opened it, he saw a piece of paper with the words "
There are a few lines of words on it, and there is a mottled red clay seal underneath.
The letter read, "Brother Nie, how are you? Are you okay? I look forward to a gathering in the south of the Yangtze River next spring to drink Lahun wine together. The eighth day of the fifth lunar month in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the number five."
This was a simple letter, but the red clay seal at the bottom of the letter paper made Nie Fu's palms sweat, reminding him of what his father said to him when he was a child.
*******
Twelve years ago, Nie Fu remembered it very clearly. On the day when his father Nie Buyan finished teaching the family kung fu, he led Nie Fu to the study and showed him the family tree and a red clay seal. Nie Fu's father read each word word for word.
She said sincerely, asking him to remember it firmly: "Fu'er, look carefully. This is the chapter of the Assassin's Order. As long as this chapter appears, it means that the Assassin's Order summons the Nie family. The Nie family must complete the task. This is the Nie family's order."
The mission is also the meaning of the Assassin family’s existence.”
"Dad, what is the Assassin Family?" Nie Fu asked puzzledly. This was the first time he heard these four words.
Nie Buyan said: "Ma Qian of the Taishi Company was grateful for the contribution of the Assassin family and wrote assassin biographies for these five assassins, namely Cao Mo, Zhuan Zhu, Yu Rang, Nie Zheng and Jing Ke. Nie Zheng is the ancestor of our family."
"Is Nie Zheng, the swordsman of the Wei state in the Biographies of the Assassins in the Historical Records, our ancestor?" Xiao Nie asked again.
"Yes, our family retains the blood of the Assassins. Tai Shigong said that the Assassin family does not deceive its ambitions, and its name will be passed down to future generations. What it means is that we value justice over profit, drink water with the source in mind, and are willing to die for those who know us."
"I understand, a scholar will die for his confidant, and a king will die for the justice of his family and country. It's the same principle that my father taught me since childhood."
"The single lineage of the Nie family has inherited the peerless inner skill of Lantern Hands, in order to one day help those in need. But since Tai Shigong wrote the Assassin family into the historical records, the Assassin family's reputation has become so great that it has attracted murders.
The disaster caused many unnecessary sacrifices. The five major families decided to retire, go into hiding, dispersed in various places, and even changed their surnames. Unless necessary, we will never show up or act. Therefore, the Assassin Order was later developed, and was organized by one family.
Control the Assassin Order, and call and dispatch Assassin Family members to take action at critical moments. We don’t take orders from anyone, we only recognize the Assassin Order." Nie Buyan said.
"It's like executing a mission." Nie Fu nodded.
"Yes, the Assassin Order is controlled by the Wu family and is initiated by him. The five major families have secretly agreed to meet once every ten years. Otherwise, they will have no contact. But the last time they met was decades ago."
"What tasks has our Nie family performed?" Nie Fu asked.
"Many missions have taken place in the past two thousand years, including assassinations, regicides, rescues, and treasure hunts. But the Assassin family does not dispatch easily. The Wu family will only mobilize the Assassin Order if there is a legitimate reason. And the Assassin Order rewards good people and punishes good deeds.
To be evil, don’t do anything that harms nature or justice.”
Nie Buyan said proudly: "Golden Sword Burning Deng, Ji Xiang Jade Hands, the four mysterious martial arts secretly passed down in the world, refer to the Golden Sword Sword Technique, Burning Deng Hands, Baili Jixiang and Ganlu Jade Hands, these are all
The magical powers of the four major families. The lamp-burning hand is our Nie family, the golden sword is the sword technique of the Jingke family, Baili Jixiang is the secret poison of the Zhuan family, and the ancestor Yurang's disguise technique and close-quarter capture
The secret skills of Nectar and Jade Hands, these methods are secret skills that the Assassin family has not passed down for thousands of years."
Thousands of years of entangled history, all kinds of twists and turns, historical unsolved cases of princes and nobles, etc., Nie Fu listened with fascination. Nie Buyan also explained some of the rules of the Assassin Order to Nie Fu in detail, and asked him to
Keep it in mind.
*******
The conversation from twelve years ago was still in his ears, and Nie Fu knew that the Assassin's Order had to be burnt with fire to produce the words. Nie Fu looked around and after confirming that no one was around, he followed the steps taught by his father and carefully baked the piece of paper on the candle.
Sure enough, a few lines of words appeared in the blank space.
The words that appeared on the piece of paper were "Ke Liu, if the country is not prosperous, Yang buys Zhao, and there is a forest of laughing swords."
This line of text makes no sense.
According to his father's teachings back then, Nie Fu knew how to decipher this secret language.
He looked at the original text on the letterhead, which said the eighth day of the fifth month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse. The sum of these numbers was eighteen.
The Biographies of the Assassins in Historical Records, which his father had taught him by heart, came in handy at this time. Nie Fu used the number eighteen to deduce the words in it.
He deciphered the original text of the secret language: "To rob people, Nie aids Yang Yingshan, and rushes to rob Donglin."
Yang Lian was from Yingshan, Huguang, and the imperial court called him Yang Yingshan in the same year. The assassin ordered him to rob Yang Lian, the current censor of Zuodu, Lord Yang Lian of the Donglin Party.
