"who--"
She was startled to see the coldly shining sharp blade so close to her that she could even feel the bone-chilling chill and smell the faint smell of blood left over from too many murders.
"Don't move, shut your mouth, don't shout."
The visitor quickly touched several large acupoints on her body, then waved his sleeves and closed the door. In the darkness, only a flick of his fingertips was heard, and the candlelight in the room suddenly lit up.
The acupuncture points were tapped, and Su Jin'er was stiff and unable to move for more than half a minute. She rolled her eyes and tried hard to ignore the weapon on her neck. When she saw the man in black robe under the candlelight, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva and her scalp felt tight.
: "Um, hero, strong man, can we talk properly? It's not good to use knives and guns to hurt many people. Besides, I don't seem to have offended you in any way, right?" Phew, it's a good thing that I can speak, otherwise I would really die.
I want to ask why he died but he can't even open his mouth.
"Where are all the nonsense? Please be honest with me." The man in black robe was completely covered by black clothes, only a pair of extremely cloudy eyes were exposed. After hearing Su Jin'er's words, he held the knife in his hand.
He patted her face impatiently, took advantage of her mouth to open in pain, pinched her chin and threw something directly in.
"...What did you give me to eat?"
The person who came here was evil. The man in black robe smelled like blood and looked like he had killed countless people. Something flew in from his throat. Su Jin'er would never believe that he would feed her something good. No matter how hard he tried to calm down, he would inevitably fail.
Somewhat panicked.
"Humph, of course it's a good thing."
Seeing the thing penetrated into her body, the man in black robe smiled arrogantly: "I am the leader of the Demon Cult. Little girl, your life is very valuable recently. In just a few days, I have received several orders from this cult."
There is a high-stakes bounty mission related to you. Su Jin'er, the youngest daughter of the Prime Minister Su Lin, the second lady of the Su family, the fiancée of Major General Yuwen, and the imperial concubine personally named by the emperor, do you know how many people there are?
Want to take your life?"
Su Jin'er was dripping with cold sweat as she listened to his slow words. His hoarse voice, like a bellows, was like a razor blade scraping against a person's bones. It made her whole body feel uncomfortable. She forced herself to smile and said, "Of course I want to."
You know, it would be better if the leader would tell me their names, at least it would allow me to die with peace of mind."
"It's so funny. You can still laugh at this time. I wonder if you are brave or not afraid of death." The man in black robe removed the sword from her neck and seemed not to worry at all that her shouting would attract anyone.
Come over, he snorted and said: "Don't worry, if I really want you to die, I would have to take action personally. What I just fed you was a kind of Gu, called Heart-hungry Gu, Heart-hungry Gu
As the name suggests, if there is no antidote for me to control the poison every month, the poison will suck all the blood out of me and my body will decline and die day by day."
So cruel——
Su Jin'er's pupils shrank and she narrowed her eyes. Her watery and clear peach blossom eyes were particularly dazzling under the flickering candlelight. She gritted her teeth and took over the words: "It's such an amazing thing. I just don't know that the leader wants me to do it."
what?"
"Very well, it's easy to make deals with smart people."
The man in black robe stood in front of her, with a strong venom in his cloudy yellow eyes: "Listen carefully, you are the female official next to the emperor now, and you are the person who can best serve you without arousing suspicion. Emperor Jingyuan will definitely not treat you wrong.
You should take more precautions. I want you to monitor his every move at all times and report any abnormalities to me." He took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and held it in his hand. Jie said with a strange smile: "And this
Juehunsan, remember to add it to the emperor’s three meals a day at a little bit every day, remember?”
Su Jin'er's face changed several times, and finally she looked at the porcelain vase and sneered: "That's the Emperor. Do you think taking his life is as easy as chopping a watermelon? If you let me poison the Emperor, if I'm discovered, it won't be a dead end in the end."
You will die sooner or later, why should you bear the charge of regicide? Why don't you kill me now for pleasure."
"Kill you? No, for those who disobey, I will only make her life worse than death."
The man in black robe did not expect that Su Jin'er would refuse, and threatened in a vicious voice: "The heart-loving poison will attack in a month. Without an antidote, the pain will last for seven or forty-nine days. The poison in your body will eat you up bit by bit.
It hurts my heart, and you will be in pain for forty-nine days. As long as you can bear it, you don’t have to obey me."
Su Jin'er's words just now were just to irritate him. Seeing the viciousness of the man in black robe, she was silent for a moment, looked over and said: "I can promise you to do anything, but poisoning alone is not enough. If something happens to the emperor, I will
You can't escape the relationship, so what's the point of doing this for you? I can't die yet."
"Hmph, I thought there were people in this world who were not afraid of death." The man in black robe put the porcelain bottle on the table, turned around and said, "Don't worry, Zuihunsan is a colorless and odorless chronic poison. Even if
Even the imperial doctors in the palace can't find out. You just need to do as I say, and the poison will corrode into his limbs and bones within three months. Since you are helping me, you will be a member of my demon sect from now on.
If something happens to the emperor, I will naturally save your life. Su Jin'er, I tell you, it's best not to play any tricks on me. The poison has already entered your body, and I will save your life every time in the future.
The Yue Council will come to see you once. If what you do makes me dissatisfied, then just wait for the heart-addicting Gu to take effect."
A dark shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and several acupuncture points on his body had been unlocked. Su Jin'er took a deep breath and asked stiffly: "Is this poison fatal? Leader, you should know that my father is an important minister in the court, and I don't want to
Involve the family as well."
The man in black robe knew her concerns and said slowly: "Juehunsan is just a kind of poison that will slowly destroy his internal strength and martial arts. At most, he will become a useless person and will not die. Of course, you
Don't try to fool me. Juehunsan is derived from a rare flower stamen venom. Only when its poison actually invades the human body will the flower roots that are the source of the poison slowly wither within three months. If there is no trace of the flower roots,
If there is any movement, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. Now, do you know what to do?”
Is it just a total loss of martial arts?
Su Jin'er's eyes flashed with suspicion, but she still responded: "I know."
Seeing that she was willing to do as she was told, the man in black robe slowly turned around and said with satisfaction: "Very good, I hope you won't disappoint me. I also want you to have someone by your side. Zi Su, you
come out."
Is there anyone else in the room?
Su Jin'er was surprised when the man in black robe just finished speaking. A tall and thin man walked out from behind the screen. The man was dressed in black night clothes and had a wolf mask on his face. He couldn't see clearly until he walked into the dark.
He stopped in front of the robed man. "Lecturer."
The man in black robe cold-bloodedly planted a heart-hungry Gu on Su Jin'er in front of him, and said indifferently: "Zisu, from today on, you will be Su Jin'er's partner. Remember to cooperate with her when necessary. In the past few days,
You failed to complete the task successfully this time. If you don't do it well this time, you don't have to come back to see me."
"In one month, I will come to check and accept your results."
The man in black robe put down his words, then the black shadow flashed and disappeared from the room in the blink of an eye.
Su Jin'er sat down at the table, holding the porcelain bottle in trance for a long time, then tightened her fingers little by little, took out a brocade handkerchief, wrapped the Juehunsan bottle and put it away.
Her movements were extremely slow, so slow and even a little stiff that she didn't notice the cold gaze of the man in black.
After packing up everything and gathering her emotions, there was a man in the room, which Su Jin'er couldn't ignore at all. Thinking of the arrangement of the leader of the Demon Cult, she frowned and said sarcastically: "Your name is Zi Su? How can a killer choose such a refined person?" Name, the leader has arranged for you to be my partner and provide you with funds for your activities. You don’t have to ask me to provide you with food, accommodation and food.”
The man with the iron mask watched her carefully put the medicine bottle away, his voice was lifeless, as cold as an ice-cold cellar, and his voice was hoarse as if he hadn't spoken for a long time. He said dully: "No, the leader has given instructions in advance. As long as you are not entering a heavily guarded place like the palace, I must always follow you."
In other words, after she moves into the General's Mansion, will he still come and go without a trace and show up at any time to scare people?
If someone finds out, what should that old fox Yu Wenshu do if he suspects that she is the one who caused it? No, this kind of thing must not happen, the water in this beach is already muddy enough...
Su Jin'er twirled a hairpin and flicked the wick on the candlestick, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to follow me, you must be upright. That's good. I'll give you a new identity. From now on, you can just be my bodyguard. Follow me." Let’s go into the general’s mansion together, what do you think?”
The masked man's calm eyes flashed, and he nodded: "Okay, I have no objection, but when do you plan to take action?"
Su Jin'er's face froze, and then she snorted coldly: "That's my business, don't forget, your task is only to cooperate with me when necessary, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
The iron-faced man's voice was still as calm as dead water, reminding: "Miss, don't forget, we have all been poisoned by the heart-hungry poison. If we don't complete the task, we will all die. This is not your fault alone. It is absolutely necessary for me to urge you. ."
"Whether I take action or not, the leader can tell by just taking a look at the source of the poison. I don't need you to remind me. If you don't want to die, do you think I also want to die?" Su Jin'er finished speaking quietly and said directly without any euphemism: "Okay. , I need to take a bath and rest. I don’t care how many people you have killed before and how much blood you have on your hands. From tomorrow on, as long as you are in front of outsiders, I will be your lady and you are my subordinate. Please understand the situation and don’t give it to me. No more confusion, happy cooperation.”
The iron-faced man looked at her coldly, with a murderous look all over his body, and walked out of the room without saying anything else.
After bolting the doors and windows all around, Su Jin'er sat back down, took out the porcelain bottle that had been put away, uncorked it expressionlessly, poured a little Juehunsan powder into the drinking cup, and used the tip of a hairpin to Stir it and dissolve it in the water, then raise your head and drink it slowly.
Tsk, just leave it to yourself to deal with it. Anyway, one kind of poison is poison, and two kinds of poison are also poisons. There are not many deadly things in her body.
A bunch of bastards, it's best to pray that she doesn't know who is secretly instigating them, otherwise as long as she is still breathing, she will never let anyone die if she can!
