In a house in Tucheng County, figures flickered.
Beside the bed, some medical women were helping an unconscious woman clean her wounds.
Beside the bed, there were several basins of water dyed red with blood. It looked like the man was seriously injured. Behind him was a screen.
Behind the screen, Su Qi'an and Ninth Princess were sitting, with several guards standing around them.
These people are the special team belonging to Su Qi'an and the eighth bodyguard of the Ninth Princess.
Their faces were tense, and they were always paying attention to what was going on behind the screen. If there was any movement, they would take action immediately.
After all, the person lying on the bed was not an ordinary person, but the female assassin who assassinated Su Qi'an that day.
Not only Su Qi'an and the Ninth Princess had seen this man's strength, but also the Qingcheng County Sheriff and the High Priest who were encircling and suppressing him.
Even if this person falls into a coma, he cannot be careless.
Regarding this person's identity, Su Qi'an basically figured it out. This person was the assassin who ranked first on the Kyoto killer list and was known as the King of Hell.
Only with this kind of skill and strength can he be qualified to be ranked first on the killer list.
But no one expected that the assassin known as the King of Hell was actually a woman.
Even the Ninth Princess was surprised when she learned this person's identity.
The title of King of Hell was basically known among the powerful and high-ranking officials in Kyoto, but no one thought that she was a woman.
The whereabouts of the King of Hell are very secretive. No one knows her gender, not even her employer.
But it doesn't matter to them whether they are male or female. As long as the King of Hell can handle the matter well, the employer will not regret asking about it.
And with such skill, he basically subconsciously concluded that this King of Hell was probably a male.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this ambiguous gender cover that it adds more protection to the King of Hell.
In fact, not only the other county governors were interested in the King of Hell, Su Qi'an was also interested.
When the King of Hell set foot in Qingcheng County, Su Qi'an got the news, but he kept his troops stationary until the King of Hell came to his territory before sending troops forward.
This is why Qingcheng County Sheriff said that Su Qi'an was waiting for them here.
But yes, it is impossible for anyone to be so calm when being targeted by such an assassin.
In order to catch this man, Su Qian not only mobilized troops, but his real back-up man was the Ninth Princess.
This assassin was able to escape over and over again, so he was very skilled. Read the book
Su Qi'an didn't expect that the people relying on him would be able to capture him.
The main thing is to rely on the Ninth Princess. Before the assassin stepped into the territory of Tucheng County, the Ninth Princess and the eight guards had already been on guard in advance, waiting for the assassin to come.
As soon as the assassin arrived, he was caught by the eight guards standing guard. This is why no trace of the assassin was found in the bushes.
It wasn't that the assassin had great powers and escaped again, but that he was captured by the Eighth Guard.
This time, to be honest, the Eight Guards had some advantage. The King of Hell was injured. During the fight, he lost too much blood. Halfway through the fight, he passed out.
And because Qingcheng County Guard's pursuers came so quickly, the Eight Guards did not have time to evacuate and capture them, so they had to hide them immediately.
The reason why he didn't tell his subordinates was naturally because he didn't want to affect them. Likewise, it was also to paralyze Qingcheng County Sheriff.
If it is known that the assassin was captured by Su Qi'an, Su Qi'an's Tucheng County may not be peaceful. In the following days, there will definitely be county guards coming, in the name of visiting, wanting to see the assassin's true appearance.
He might even make some sort of order to take the assassin away from Su Qi'an.
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, only he and Ninth Princess knew about this matter.
Releasing news to the outside world that the assassin's whereabouts are uncertain is also a kind of protection for Su Qi'an. At least the eyes of these county guards and high priests will not be staring at him all the time.
Instead, they will continue to send troops to search around Tucheng County. In this way, the number of troops in their own territory will be reduced, and Su Qi'an's plan can be implemented better.
Fortunately, they treated her in time and the assassin was not dead, but her fate was still considered
Big, shedding so much blood, being hunted for so long, and still resisting until now.
If nothing else, Su Qi'an admires this kind of spirit.
Although this man had assassinated him and even injured his shoulder, the latter man was hunted down heavily and was seriously injured, so the two sides were evenly matched.
Of course, the most important thing was that Su Qian always believed that the assassin had no real intention to kill him.
After learning that she was the number one killer on the killer list, Su Qian was even more convinced of this guess.
Regardless of whether this person really wanted to kill him or not, it didn't matter. Su Qian wanted to know who sent her here.
Although there were some speculations in his mind, there was no confirmation after all. Only confirmation could give Su Qi'an a solid foundation.
Moreover, Su Qi'an had another idea about the assassin. He wanted to recruit this person.
I'm afraid only Su Qi'an would have this idea. Recruiting an assassin who almost killed him is really crazy.
Of course, Su Qi'an didn't tell anyone about this idea. We had to wait until the female assassin woke up.
According to the doctor who treated him, the assassin would probably wake up today. They had been waiting for two or three days anyway, so waiting would not waste their time.
Just as Su Qian was about to drink tea and say something to the Ninth Princess, suddenly, a rapid cough sounded from behind the screen.
Without any hesitation, the several medical ladies serving him quickly left the bed.
This is a kind of protection for them. Who knows what the temperament of this assassin, known as the King of Hell, is like. If he becomes murderous as soon as he wakes up and accidentally injures the doctor girl, Su Qian will feel very guilty.
After all, these medical girls are the Ninth Princess’s people, so they naturally need to be protected.
Not long after the doctor left, she stood next to Su Qi'an and the Ninth Princess. The elite soldiers who had been specially removed quickly stepped forward and stood in front of the screen. The swords and crossbows in their hands were already aimed. If there was any unfavorable move, they would be killed without mercy.
Not long after the coughing stopped, the imaginary scene of the assassins suddenly killing people did not appear.
The next moment, you could vaguely see a woman standing up next to the bed, leaning against the bed. She was silent for a while and said softly.
"Don't be so nervous. If I want to take action, I have already done so. Remove the screen and let me see who is brave enough to save an assassin."
Although the voice was very soft, it was somewhat cold. Now that this person had spoken, Su Qian's eyes signaled that the next moment, the screen was removed.
To be honest, Su Qi'an only had a rough look at the female assassin named King of Hell.
The main reason was that this person was a woman and had been undergoing treatment for several days. In addition, she was too dangerous. Su Qi'an was naturally not allowed to go up and look at this person specifically.
These are all instructions given by the Ninth Princess, and Su Qi'an can only abide by them.
As the screen was removed, Su Qi'an finally saw the man's appearance. It was still very different from the beggar he met for the first time.
In modern terms, she has a baby face, which is called cute, and she cannot tell that she is twenty-four or five years old. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is seventeen or eighteen years old.
But with this harmless face, who would have thought that at least hundreds of people would die in her hands, like a murderous god.
The King of Hell looked at Su Qi'an with a hint of surprise in his eyes. She did not expect that the person who saved her would turn out to be her assassinating gaze.
A smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she said leisurely, "I didn't expect that you would be the one who saved me?"
"This must be the first time I have failed in my mission in so many years in the industry, but was saved by an assassination gaze. It's interesting."
"Su Qian, if you save me, I'm afraid you will regret it. Maybe your life will be in danger at any time."
He wore a harmless smile, but said such cold words. This scene gave people a strong contrast.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Even Princess Ninth frowned, as if she was about to take action at any time.
Compared to everyone's nervousness, Su Qi'an seemed very calm. He put the tea in his hand on the table and said with a smile.
"Really, if you have the ability
, you can try it, I am also looking forward to it. "
"But before you take action, I have a few questions to ask you."
Su Qian's calmness was not an act. The King of Hell had come into contact with many people, so he could naturally see that.
She did not refuse Su Qian's question and nodded.
"First, whose order did you accept? You traveled thousands of miles to come to Jiaozhou to kill me."
"Second, your mission failed. As far as I know, people on the killer list will only take the job once, no matter whether they fail or not. If they continue to take the job, the employer will ask for a higher price, but whether they accept it or not, It's your business. I want to know if you plan to continue the mission of assassinating me."
Su Qi'an's first question was not beyond her expectation. Anyone would want to know. What surprised the King of Hell was that this person knew so clearly the rules of their killer circle. No wonder the employer was willing to pay so much. The price, now she feels that this Lord Su is indeed extraordinary.
The King of Hell was silent for a while, and then said, "As for the first question, I'm sorry, I can't tell you. Not leaking employer information is the bottom line of our circle, but with your intelligence, you should have doubts about the candidate, yes or no. , you should be able to guess it."
"As for whether to continue to hunt you, this is a headache for me. I, the King of Hell, have been working in this industry for so many years, and I have never failed. Today, I fell into your hands. If I tell you, some people will question my ability, but If I really continue to kill you, I can't do it now, so it's really worth discussing."
"Now that you've asked your questions, I have another question. What will happen if I take this mission and continue to assassinate you? What will happen if I give up? Will you let me go?" The King of Hell said with a playful smile. Look at Su Qian.
"If you accept this mission, you should know that you can't leave this room. If you give up, I can not only let you go, but also hire you for the same price."
"I'm not hiring you to kill anyone, but I want you to stay and act as a guard to protect my personal safety. What do you think?"
What Su Qian said was so calm and gentle, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, but the expression of the King of Hell changed obviously.
The idea of hiring a killer to be your bodyguard is really unbelievable.
"I've given you my request. It's up to you how you choose."
