After Cao Yan finished speaking, he shook his head again, "But it's impossible. I guess I forgot it. //. 78 No pop-up windows updated quickly // ~" There are not a few people who look similar in the world, not to mention Qing Yi at that time He was around ten years old, and although he was somewhat similar to the current Eleven, he was ultimately different.
The great wizard had just figured out why the Snake Lord valued Eleven so much. Hearing what he said was like cold water on his head, and he couldn't help but be disappointed, "Why did you forget to remember it?"
Cao Yan said: "Because Qing Yi, the second daughter of the Duke of Chu, has died."
The great wizard was startled for a moment. If the Duke of Chu died, there would naturally be a sensation in the Yue Kingdom. But if the youngest daughter of a minister dies, no one will pay attention. "How did you die?"
"I heard that it was a fall from a building. The Duke of Chu was so heartbroken that his daughter died. He even wanted to go to the funeral for his daughter in person. But on the day of the funeral, a riot suddenly broke out. He had to lead troops to suppress the riot. So on the day of the funeral, because of Mrs. Yue, who was ill and unable to leave her house, sent her daughter off. However, the funeral procession encountered a gangster, and hundreds of people were slaughtered. Moreover, the other party used some unknown method to eliminate the bodies of hundreds of people. It's so clean that no one can investigate it. The Duke of Chu turned the capital upside down because of this matter, but no results were found, so he had to leave it alone."
"When did this happen?"
"Two months ago."
The great wizard's sinister triangular eyes suddenly lit up, "Do you recognize the Duke of Chu's wife, Mrs. Yue?"
Cao Yan shook his head, "Mrs. Yue has never been in good health and rarely moves around. She suffered a hemorrhage during childbirth and almost died. She stayed in bed for many years to recuperate. She didn't even leave the dormitory door. She ignored all the affairs in the house and had only a few girls to accompany her. It is said that the servant is a new member of the family who joined the house later, and few of them have met Mrs. Yue, and naturally neither have the subordinates."
The great wizard nodded slightly and asked no more questions.
***************
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
In addition to Xiao Qi, Ziyun and Eleven, there were two other people participating in the Red Gate assessment.
On the 11th, they killed the crocodile for a long time, but they did not kill the crocodile in the Red Gate Assessment.
It was a simulated assassination operation.
Several people split up to assassinate several leaders of the other party at the same time, but their actions were exposed and they were surrounded and suppressed by the other party's people.
While they were escaping the encirclement and suppression, they had to continue their assassination operations. ~
The great wizard considered that Eleven had not long since entered the Second Gate and had limited abilities to act alone, so he was extra merciful to her and added a helper - Qiu Tao.
According to him, the power of two people is stronger than eleven people.
Shiyi really doesn't think Qiu Tao, who is also a newcomer, can be her helper, but will only become a drag on her.
The great wizard did this purely for revenge.
But Eleven's current status is only obedience, not qualified to bargain, so he can only silently accept the 'favor' from above.
Xiao Qi rubbed her head, as if she was afraid that the world would be in chaos, and said with a smile: "You wish for yourself."
Eleven smiled back and said with a grin: "Don't forget that we are grasshoppers on the same rope."
The corner of Xiao Qi's mouth twitched, he put his hand into a fist to his lips, coughed dryly, and looked away.
Ziyun squeezed Eleven's hand gently and whispered: "Don't be rash, try to delay for some time, and when we are finished, come over and help you."
Although Eleven didn't expect to rely on others to get through, he still felt warm in his heart. He held Ziyun's hand and nodded gently.
Xiao Qi looked at the hands held by Xiao Shihe and Ziyun, touched their noses, and laughed "hey".
Shiyi knew that he wanted to go somewhere wrong again, so he squinted over and glared at him fiercely. He looked at her and raised his eyebrows, not taking her threat into consideration at all.
This examination was unusual, and the superiors attached great importance to it. The great wizard and a female officer named Zhen'er personally supervised the examination.
Ziyun saw Zhen'er looking this way and walked away.
The assessment time for the first level of the three gates is set at night.
Standing on a cliff at night, looking down at Xiao Qi and Eleven who sneaked into the forest from different directions, their expressions were indifferent.
With Xiao Qi's current ability, this mission is really not difficult for him.
The moon is dark tonight, the wind is high, and there is no sign of thunder or rain.
As long as Shiyi is careful and calm, even if Qiu Tao gets in the way, there won't be much of a problem. ~
What's more, he believed that Xiao Qi would definitely try to complete the task as soon as possible and go to assist Eleven.
Eleven just needs to be careful of Qiutao and ensure his own safety. It doesn't matter who the target is assassinated by.
Because being born as a dead soldier, all you want is the result.
This was the purpose of tying Xiao Qi and Eleven together in the first place.
Even if someone deliberately creates difficulties, there will always be backup assistance.
Danhong withdrew her gaze from Xiao Qi and looked at Ye gratefully. Ye had trained Xiao Qi very well and could deal with anything calmly, enough to survive in the most difficult environment.
"Xiao Qi will definitely keep that girl Eleven, you don't have to worry."
Ye Qing nodded. He was really not worried about this mission, but he was worried about other things.
Danhong looked at his profile, which looked even more resolute and cold under the moonlight, and whispered, "Are you tempted?"
Ye was startled for a moment, then turned to look at Danhong.
Dan Hongning looked into his eyes and added: "Yes."
Ye looked away and looked back at the deep forest at her feet, "I was just following orders and letting her walk out of her life and become a dead soldier."
Danhong followed his gaze and looked into the deep forest. From this angle, she could have a panoramic view of the entire forest. If her eyesight was good enough, she could roughly see the actions of everyone in the forest.
"Do you really want her to become a dead soldier?"
"People like you and me can only survive if they become dead warriors, and she is no exception." Ye's voice was calm and cold, and no emotion could be heard.
Dan Hong sighed softly. It had been like this ever since he signed the blood wedge with the Snake Kingdom. No one could touch his heart, including her.
******************
Eleven knew the direction and carefully moved forward and slowly approached.
Qiutao had never killed a crocodile independently, but she followed Eleven like a shadow, never leaving her step by step. She was so careful that even Eleven had to admire her sticking skills.
However, this made Eleven feel more at ease. At least she didn't have to worry about her running around and exposing herself to attract enemies.
However, no matter how careful they were, they were still discovered under the ruthless search of the other party.
Eleven avoided the long knife that was coming straight at him, and was about to counterattack, knocking the opponent down as quickly as possible to avoid attracting more enemies.
Suddenly the other party shouted in surprise, "Are you Miss Tsing Yi?"
Eleven quickly glanced at Qiu Tao, who was looking at her, and then looked back at the man in black who was carefully examining her.
It's a completely unfamiliar face.
The other party asked again: "Really Miss Tsing Yi?"
Seeing that the other party had put away the long knife, Shiyi lowered his voice to the lowest level and had no intention of making any noise, so he didn't rush to make a move and waited to see what happened, "Who are you?"
"The young one used to be an adjutant under the Duke of Chu. Two years ago, he followed an informant and strayed into the Albizia Julibrissin Forest. So... why did the young lady also... Where is the madam? Where is the madam?" The man in black looked pained. .
Eleven looked at the man in black expressionlessly and didn't answer.
The man in black said again: "Although I am in the country of Yue, my heart is still in the country of Yan. By the way, this is not the place to talk. I will take the young lady out of the forest and look for opportunities in the future. Let's talk slowly."
Eleven nodded, "That's fine, please lead the way."
Qiutao hurriedly followed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the man in black turned around, Eleven raised his hand silently, and hit the man in black on the head with the handle of the dagger, and the man in black fell down immediately.
Qiutao exclaimed in a low voice, "Did you kill him?"
Shiyi said calmly: "Just knocked him out." He pulled Qiutao and went to another way.
Qiutao asked in confusion: "Why don't you go in the direction he pointed?"
Eleven frowned impatiently, "How do you know it's not a trap?"
In this maze-like forest, they finally met an acquaintance who was willing to take them out, but in the blink of an eye, they were knocked unconscious by Eleven, and they ignored the directions given by others. They walked like this and didn't know if they could get out until dawn. Not to mention completing the task, Qiu Tao was a little angry, "Didn't he call you by name? He also recognized your father."
Eleven asked curiously: "Do you know who my father is?"
Qiu Tao choked and said, "The man just said your name was Qing Yi, and he also said he was the deputy general of the Duke of Chu. That Duke of Chu must be your father."
The figure passed by, and Xiao Qi's hateful voice came, "Is your name Qing Yi?"
Eleven looked at the sudden appearance of Xiao Qi, thinking to himself, is he lost and fascinated by her, or has he completed his mission and gone around to find her?
"When I was a child, my parents called me Cat and Dog. When I grew up, they called me Aping, but no one ever called me Qingyi."
Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, so your name is Aping. Why does this name sound like a man's?"
Shiyi rolled her eyes at him. He would stir up any muddy water, "My father and mother wanted a child, but they only got me. Can't you raise me as a boy?"
Xiao Qi nodded in approval, "No wonder I like women and not men."
Eleven almost choked to death. Now is the time to be surrounded and suppressed, right?
She almost wished she could be invisible. He was so good that he still had time to joke.
She frowned, looked at him sideways, glared, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"
Xiao Qi curled his lips depressedly, "A grasshopper on a rope."
Eleven smiled sullenly and cursed in a low voice. The guy who was talking nonsense was causing trouble for her and rushed over to help her.
Qiutao said without giving up: "We should go that way."
Xiao Qi glanced at Qiu Tao with disdain, "This girl is right, it's a trap, and there's someone blocking it in front of you. You go, and they just happen to catch you, and then..." He held his hand He gestured and made a cramp-peeling motion.
Knowing that this was just a simulated task, Qiu Tao couldn't help but shudder and trembled her lower lip slightly, "But... that person knows Eleven..."
Eleven rolled his eyes. He has seen stupid people, but never such stupid ones. "I said your name is Cat and Dog, but you call me Cat and Dog? He wants to capture us alive, but it is difficult to catch both of us with the power of one person. Only one person came up with this method to get close to us. We thought he had recognized the wrong person and wanted to use this relationship to get out of the forest. If we followed him, we would have fallen into their trap."
(There is also the new book list for the last week, and I am asking for recommendation votes~~~~ Book reviews are also quite deserted. I hope everyone will leave more reviews so that Guo can feel that this book still has some warmth and is not as cold as an ice cave.)
