4) Side mission three: Kill Song Xian! (completed)
At the same time, side mission 2 has also changed.
3) Side mission two: Complete soul transformation (6.5/10)
Originally this was (5/10), but after Xu Yi watched Nie Yunzhu dance for a few days, it was raised to (6/10), and after killing Song Xian, it was raised to (6.5/10).
There are only three and a half points left to completely complete the soul transformation.
Xu Yi felt the fluctuations in his soul, as if he could also feel the urgency to complete the transformation.
"It's coming soon, it won't take long."
Xu Yi quickly opened the remaining iron boxes and took away the hidden silver notes and jewelry.
For Song Xian, he felt that the safest place was his military camp tent, so he directly placed all his most valuable and important things here.
This also facilitates Xu Yi's search.
"A little captain actually has wealth worth nearly 70,000 to 80,000 taels, tsk!"
Xu Yi made a sound with unknown meaning. At first, he raided the Wu family, but only gained more than 300,000 taels of wealth.
That is the wealth accumulated by the Wu family for decades!
A little Song Xian actually owns nearly a quarter of the Wu family's wealth. One can only imagine how many people's wealth he has robbed over the years.
"There's an assassin!"
The soldiers finally discovered the problem and shouted loudly.
But in the darkness, they found nothing. They only saw a pile of corpses lying on the ground and a headless male corpse in the tent.
······
late at night.
Lu Hongti was lying on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she would think of her companions who died tragically at the hands of those soldiers.
"I hurt them!"
If she hadn't been determined to kill Song Xian, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
Lu Hongti clenched her fists.
"Rest in peace! No matter what, I will definitely kill Song Xian! Revenge for you!"
While she was immersed in sadness.
Duh duh duh.
A knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Lu Hongti's expression tightened, but she didn't say anything.
She didn't know who the person was knocking on the door, and her own identity was quite sensitive and not suitable for being exposed at all.
What if there are officers and soldiers searching outside the door?
Duh duh duh.
The knocking on the door started again.
At the same time, a voice sounded.
"It's me, open the door."
"Master Xu?"
Lu Hongti hesitated for a moment, picked up the long sword at hand, and opened the door.
Opening the door, it turned out to be Xu Yi outside.
"Mr. Xu, it's so late, you..."
"Here! I think you should want to see this more now, otherwise you might not be able to sleep."
Xu Yi handed a round package to Lu Hongti.
"This is······"
Lu Hongti finished wrapping up, smelling the strong smell of blood, and had a vague suspicion in her heart.
In anticipation and nervousness, she opened the package with slightly trembling hands.
A face that was so familiar that she wanted to cut it into pieces appeared in front of her.
"Song Xian!!"
"This thief! You are finally dead!"
Lu Hongti cried and laughed, and it took a while before she recovered.
He wiped his tears and said a little embarrassedly.
"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I lost my temper a little."
"It's okay, I can understand you."
Xu Yi waved his hand.
Lu Hongti hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say.
"Mr. Xu, do you have any grudge against Song Xian?"
"I don't have any hatred, it's just that I can't see him through. I can also do justice to Heaven and make me feel better physically and mentally."
"Mr. Xu, you are such a good person!"
Lu Hongti looked at Xu Yi with lingering eyes and said.
"Don't say that, I'm not a good person!"
Xu Yi shook his head, he didn't want to be a good person.
"Okay, it's getting late. After looking at this head, you should be able to sleep peacefully tonight. Go get some rest."
"Did Mr. Xu go kill this thief overnight because of me?"
Lu Hongti bit her red lips and asked the question she wanted to ask the most.
"Not entirely."
Xu Yi pondered for a moment.
"The main reason is that I think Song Xian has just experienced an assassination. His vigilance should not be that high, and he may be easier to kill!"
This is also true. After returning to the military camp, maybe he felt that it was safe enough, so Song Xian directly sent most of the soldiers out to search for the men in black.
This left the military camp empty, giving Xu Yi an opportunity to take advantage of.
However, Lu Hongti obviously didn't believe Xu Yi's statement. Her eyes when she looked at Xu Yi became more gentle and moist.
Even if what Xu Yi said might be right, it was a military camp there!
Even if most of the troops are sent out, it is still the most dangerous place.
But for her sake, Xu Yi risked his life and killed Song Xian in such a place...
"Hongti doesn't know how to repay Mr. Xu for this kindness."
"Let's talk about the repayment later. It's very late, so Miss Lu should take a rest first. Otherwise, it may not be easy to rest tomorrow."
Once Song Xian died, the whole city would inevitably undergo a long period of rigorous investigation.
In fact, if Xu Yi hadn't killed all the officers in the camp, leaving the entire camp without a leader, there would have been a strict investigation tonight!
For the time being, I can still sleep well tonight, but that may not be the case tomorrow.
After saying that, Xu Yi was about to turn around and leave.
"Mr. Xu..."
Lu Hongti stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Yi turned his head and asked with some confusion.
Lu Hongti glanced at Song Xian's head, thought of everything Xu Yi had done for her, gritted her teeth and made a decision.
"It's so late, why don't Mr. Xu rest here?"
Before she finished speaking, she lowered her head.
Although she is a very neat and tidy heroine, she still feels embarrassed when faced with such things.
Xu Yi was silent for a moment, and finally uttered one word.
"good."
The rest fell into place naturally.
Of course, Xu Yi didn't really want Lu Hongti in the end, he just left his own exclusive mark on her.
"You're still injured, it's inconvenient."
"Xu Lang, you are so kind."
Lu Hongti lay in Xu Yi's arms, her heart filled with emotion and security.
If she had a sentimental repayment mentality before, now she really feels that it is right to give herself to this man.
"Go to sleep."
Xu Yi kissed Lu Hongti's forehead.
The two slept in each other's arms.
······
In the next few days, Xu Yi would specially deliver meals to Lu Hongti, and then accompany her to talk about martial arts and other matters. The relationship between the two became deeper and deeper day by day.
A few days later, under Xu Yi's careful care, Lu Hongti's injuries gradually recovered, and then that night, the two of them accomplished a good thing.
3) Side mission two: Complete soul transformation (7.5/10)
Because of Lu Hongti's sacrifice, Xu Yi's soul transformation took another step forward, and he was very close to completely completing the transformation.
In the past few days, Song Xian's death naturally caused an uproar in Jiangning City.
A court official, one of the top three people in Jiangning City with a seemingly powerful position, died like this, and he died in a heavily guarded military camp!
A large number of middle-level officers also died with them. Isn't this a slap in the face of the imperial court?
Investigate strictly!
Must be strictly investigated!
the next day.
Jiangning City was sealed off.
A three-day investigation of the entire city began!
······
Deep in a beautiful bamboo forest.
In the middle of the clear lake, there is a pavilion, which is secluded and remote, and has a sense of being otherworldly.
In the pavilion in the lake.
Two men are playing chess.
The two of them looked ordinary, and there were not a large number of escorts around them.
But if someone familiar saw them, they would be frightened and bow to them.
Without him, these two are real big shots!
If Song Xian is the top three most powerful people in Jiangning City on the surface, then these two people are the top three most powerful people in Jiangning City!
One of these two people was the former left prime minister Qin Siyuan, and the other was the current prince-in-law Kangxian.
In terms of official positions, the two of them actually have no official position, but they are people who can have huge influence on the entire court!
Their casual words may cause huge shocks both inside and outside the court.
Compared with them, a small person like Song Xian is really nothing worth mentioning.
But at this moment, these two real big shots in Jiangning City, who had always only discussed matters of family and country, were discussing a rare person.
"Have you heard what happened in the Wu Liejun camp? Is there anything you want to say?"
Kang Xian said while playing chess.
"Kill good people and take credit for their merits, oppress the people, and deserve to die!"
Qin Si did not mention the source and directly gave three idiom evaluations.
Song Xian thought that no one knew what he was doing, but in fact, for some people, nothing about him could be hidden at all!
Even without any witness testimony, they can determine many things based on only inferences from some information.
For example, in the merit report submitted by Song Xian, more than hundreds of bandits were killed, but only dozens of people were injured and no one died?
Anyone who knows a little bit about leading soldiers in war knows what this means.
The bandits in Luliang Mountain are notoriously fierce!
Even if a real elite force were to attack, it would be impossible to achieve such a result. What's more, Song Xian was not leading an elite force at that time, and he himself was not a peerless general. How could he achieve such a battle loss ratio? come out.
The main reason why they didn't pay attention to it was that there were too many such things, and they couldn't control so much even if they wanted to.
Who knew that if they lost Song Xian, Li Xian and Zhang Xian would not come after him?
And as far as Qin Siyuan's identity is concerned, he is indeed too sensitive. Every move he makes may attract the attention of the court. If this kind of thing really needs to be taken care of, no one knows whether it will cause greater disturbances.
Kang Xian shook his head, took another shot, and then said.
"I'm not asking about the dead one, I'm asking about the living one."
Qin Siyuan was silent for a moment and gave two idioms.
"How audacious! Lawless!"
"Haha, this is really your style!"
Kang Xian laughed a few times.
Qin Siyuan shook his head.
"A chivalrous man used force to break the law. Although Song Xian did deserve to die, his behavior was really inappropriate!"
"Then if according to what you said, we don't need to worry about this matter at all? Just wait for Song Xian to harm more people?"
Kang Xian said with a half-smile.
Qin Siyuan was silent for a while before speaking.
"There are laws in this world. If these warriors are allowed to kill indiscriminately, what will the laws of the world be like?"
"Martial artist, the law... I do agree with your idea of respecting the law, but it is a pity that many people in this world cannot be governed by the law!"
Kang Xian picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. He didn't know what he thought of, but his eyes were filled with despair.
Qin Siyuan stopped talking.
Indeed, many people in this world cannot be restrained by the law!
The Ming Dynasty has not yet declined, and after more than a hundred years of continuation of its rule, it is already quite powerful, but even so, their laws cannot control too many people.
Xia uses force to break the ban.
The top warriors in this world are so powerful that they can even directly influence the imperial power!
Not to mention him, the former left prime minister, even the current emperor could do nothing about such an existence.
"Actually speaking, this Xu Yi is pretty good. Regardless of the incident in which the Wu family returned to the Wu Lie Army, he only killed the evil leader and did not implicate innocent people. Compared with those so-called knights who frequently kill people in their entire family. , it has gotten much better.”
Kang Xian said with a sigh, and then he looked at Qin Siyuan.
"You should be preparing for a comeback now, right? Why don't you take this person under your command and use it for you? I heard that Cai Jing has a lot of talented people under his command. If you don't have enough helpers then, , you will suffer a lot against him!"
Qin Siyuan's heart moved when he heard this.
He was not very surprised that his revolt was discovered.
Although many of his actions are relatively secretive, it is still difficult to hide it from Kang Xian, the smart man who spends the most time with him.
Mainly because he himself didn't want to hide it.
Qin Siyuan was indeed a little moved by Kang Xian's proposal.
"Cai Jing..."
This being that he regarded as his biggest opponent after his resurrection, he indeed had to make the greatest preparations for.
Although the unspoken rules for battles between courts are that assassinations by force cannot be involved, these unspoken rules can only be truly unspoken if people abide by them.
If people don't abide by it, then this so-called unspoken rule means nothing!
Not to mention anything else, during these years of seclusion, Qin Siyuan encountered no fewer than ten assassinations.
If his political opponents really followed the rules, would he have suffered so many assassinations?
Qin Siyuan didn't know if there were people sent by Cai Jing in these assassinations, but judging from the opponent's reputation as a "treacherous prime minister", the possibility that he could safely abide by the unspoken rules was not very high.
Necessary warrior protection is a must!
Just thinking about Xu Yi's behavior, Qin Siyuan still hesitated.
"I'm also quite curious about this person. How about we meet first?"
Kang Xian's words made Qin Siyuan make up his mind.
"Then let's meet first!"
