Lan has been trained as an outstanding killer on the 19th floor since he was a child. During the years of training in cruel conditions, those companions who could not persevere have all died. Among the children at the same time as him, they were eliminated from hundreds to a hundred to dozens, and finally to a dozen or even a few. His ability to persist until the end showed that he was at least determined and strong.
As an excellent killer, he also has his own principles, such as never betraying the organization, completing tasks strictly, fasting for three days before killing, not killing people who are kind to him, and so on.
But now he is easily betrayed to the devil.
In this narrow space, Lan somehow began to review and think about his short twenty-year life.
If he didn't betray the organization, he didn't complete the mission, he thought, sitting against the wall and looking at the two people chatting opposite.
He almost died in the fire and his life was in vain.
That woman——
He must have been taken along because he was still useful.
This woman can barely be considered his savior, right?
The task was too difficult and the favor was overwhelming. Of course, it didn't mean that he, an excellent killer, couldn't bear the pain of the belly-tightening curse. It didn't mean that the most important thing was that taking on this task would give him more rewards.
It's just that the deduction of mission funds on the 19th floor is too serious. If the customer pays 100 taels, he may only get 10 taels or 20 taels. If the completion time exceeds, the money will be deducted.
Grass.
Those elders who support the elderly are all supported by young people like them, and they still meddle in this and that. No wonder the host does not show his face all day long, which is annoying to death.
He is too young to die here. This does not violate his own principles. He still has to live to serve the original poster.
Ruan Xianbei saw the killer frowning and frowning, and he didn't know what he was struggling with.
Cui Lin had rested now. Ruan Xianbei threw a water bag to Lan: "Drink some water and then go. Just take a few sips."
Lan picked up the water bag and took a sip. His throat, which had been dry for too long, finally became a little moister. He said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."
"Let's go."
Ruan Xianbei put away his things and was about to pick up the baggage, but Cui Lin picked it up first.
"I'll hold it. It's inconvenient for you to protect us from holding things."
She nodded. How could she refuse the eldest lady's proactive request?
Ruan Xianbei smiled at Cui Lin: "My cousin seems to have changed and loves me more."
Cui Lin was stunned for a moment and punched her, "Stop talking so much."
Several people continued to walk forward. Although the passage was still relatively narrow, they could already walk upright. At least they no longer had to crawl forward, so the speed was much faster.
Ruan Xianbei and Lan were fine, but Cui Lin had never traveled so much before, and they could only stop and go to take care of Cui Lin.
After walking for who knows how long, I finally felt the breeze and fresh air coming from the front. Ruan Xianbei encouraged Cui Lin and said, "Keep on holding on."
"Okay." Cui Lin walked until her legs were numb, but this narrow passage was really uncomfortable. She couldn't live here without walking out.
The light ahead became brighter and brighter, and it turned out that the exit in front of them was an abandoned well.
The three of them stood at the bottom of the well, and the moonlight poured down on them like silver, shining like a thin veil on the bottom of the small well.
Ruan Xianbei looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and remembered the full moon he had seen in his dream, and then remembered the song, singing that the moonlight in the city illuminates the dream, please protect it.
Now this should be the moonlight outside the city. She sighed, shook her head to get rid of those thoughts, told them to retreat into the passage, and released the flare herself.
Although Yuye's letter said that someone would come to meet them, it was still uncertain whether they would be friends or foes, so it was always right to be careful.
The signal flare briefly illuminated the entire sky, and someone rushed over in an instant.
"Miss Cui?"
There is a familiar voice
The sound came down.
"Is it Miss Cui? Miss Yuan? Or Monk Tongchun?"
This female voice became more familiar.
"Yes." Ruan Xianbei replied, "It's not easy to borrow strength here. Please pull us up."
"Brother, rope!" Then a head popped out. The girl looked down at Ruan Xianbei below. She felt familiar but not sure. She threw the rope and said, "Okay, come up quickly."
Ruan Xianbei knew who was coming, but he didn't know why they appeared here. Is it because Yu Ye is too powerful or Master Cui is too strong? But anyway, it seems to be safe now.
"Cousin, here you go up first."
Ruan Xianbei tied the rope to Cui Lin and asked her to go up first, then herself, and finally Lan.
"You won't leave me here, will you?" Lan asked worriedly. He was now empty of internal energy, and the walls of the well were slippery and covered with moss. He couldn't go up on his own. t.
Ruan Xianbei returned a meaningful look and smiled without saying a word.
Of course he was pulled up in the end.
Cui Lin was pulled up safely. When it came to Ruan Xianbei, she would use her own strength to take precautions. When she was halfway up, the girl who pulled her up widened her eyes and said with surprise, "Ruan Ruan! Why are you here! Senior brother, it's Ruan Ruan!"
Ruan Xianbei was pulled into a bear hug by her and said with a smile, "Sui Sui, long time no see."
He turned to another girl who was squatting next to Cui Lin to check her condition and smiled: "Senior Sister Fang, long time no see."
Fang Qiya smiled at her, and Cheng Suisui threw the rope down again. There was another person yelling at the bottom of the well.
Ruan Xianbei came up with her, Cheng Suisui leaned against her and asked softly: "Ruan Ruan, why don't you say hello to senior brother?"
Ruan Xianbei smiled at her and said, "Really? I just didn't see him."
"Ah? Right there -" Cheng Suisui turned his head, and Shen Xuan was standing there just two steps away from them. How could he not see it?
Forget it, the smart, cute and smart girl was keenly aware that the atmosphere between the two seemed a bit strange, so she wisely closed her mouth.
Cheng Suisui pointed at Lan and asked, "Who is this person?"
"The killer was originally the one who killed Miss Cui, but I subdued him." Ruan Xianbei said.
"What subjugation? I just completed the task and took on the next task!" Lan replied after hearing her words.
"Didn't the last mission fail?"
Lanli said confidently: "Failure is not in my dictionary! The last time I died, I died in the fire. You saved me and you are my savior, so I took on this task."
"I am the most principled killer on the 19th floor!"
Ruan Xianbei said perfunctorily without sincerity: "Yes, yes, Brother Lan will be up to you from now on."
"Let's go to a place to rest."
...
They were driving a carriage. Shen Xuan and Lan were sitting outside the carriage, and several girls were sitting inside. Cheng Suisui was chattering excitedly along the way.
It turned out that Cangshan received news half a month ago that there were constant disappearances in a village, and almost no one came back, so a few of them went down the mountain to investigate this strange village.
But in the middle of the journey, they received another urgent letter, requiring them to come and rescue the daughter of Cui Shoufu who was being hunted. Cui Shoufu asked Tongchun and Miss Yuan to protect their daughter. It shouldn't be a big problem. They just need to respond at the mouth of the well today. I simply wrote a few sentences about the cause and effect, and signed it on a rainy night.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Xianbei was also together.
"Ruan Ruan, are you Miss Yuan?"
"Ah, yes." Ruan Xianbei nodded and said to Cui Lin: "Cousin, I used a pseudonym before. You don't mind, right?"
People in the world often use pseudonyms and stage names. Cui Lin digested this inconsequential news and nodded, saying it didn't matter.
"Then what's your original name?"
"Ruan Xianbei." She replied.
"Well, it sounds much nicer than the people from Wonsan.
Cui Lin joked: "I'd better call you cousin, it's easy to get it right."
"Hahaha, it's good that my cousin is happy."
The road was so flat that Cui Lin almost fell asleep leaning against Ruan Xianbei when she reached the resting yard.
Before getting off the bus, Cheng Suisui pulled Ruan Xianbei hard and said, "Ah, I forgot to tell you! We rescued a girl on the way...and then she..."
"She must commit herself to her senior brother!"
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo, hoo!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and help me search you."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before dawn, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
