Volume 7 Chapter 156 The Smiling Assassin
In Qi Nian Palace, Ying Zheng looked at Ying Ai calmly, and his smiling face looked harmless to humans and animals.
A person's disguise can hide from everyone, and if you don't observe and analyze carefully, you can't see that Ying Ai is that kind of person at all. The reason why I can't see it is mainly because she is too young and too close to Yingzheng, even Zhongli didn't find out.
Ying Ai doesn't know martial arts, she is young, and although she is a little naughty, it is difficult to convince people to say that she is the hidden assassin. At least in Zhongli and Mi Run's eyes, this is an ignorant child, and many princes and princesses have played with the torturous things she plays in private, and they don't take it to heart.
Ying Ai asked with a smile: "Brother Prince, what can it mean just by relying on this?" Corporal punishment of subordinates, the brothers and sisters in the palace have played, the school palace was just a chance encounter, what is the identity of those two subordinates who serve me, what do you care about me? Brother Kailong was a fatal knife given by Sister Mirun, and in my hands, there has never been a single human life. ”
Ying Zheng was stunned, and when she thought about it, it was really like Ying Ai said, she didn't kill anyone. The purpose of torturing Kailong was to vent her anger to Qi Run, and it was not her who assassinated Lin Ye, who was ordering Kailong, as long as Ying Ai didn't admit it, then she could only ask Xia Ji.
But Xia Ji has been in retreat, and no one can ask, so it becomes an unsolved case. Ying Zheng said so much, it was all speculation in his heart, and there was no real evidence. What is her relationship with Mo Wu'an? What is the relationship with King Wu of Qin? As long as she doesn't say it, others really can't guess.
Those who know the true identity of Ying Ai have either died, retreated, or disappeared. According to Mrs. Huayang, Ying Ai is the blood of the Ying family, and her parents died early, which is not wrong. The most critical thing is that there is also a point of corroboration, and the genealogy recorded by Shang Gong does have the name of Ying Ai.
After taking a sip of wine, Ying Zheng said: "Grandma Huayang said that you don't abide by the etiquette in the palace, and I know that you were brought into the palace by the Shang Gong, and you came to Xianyang from the Ba family." I also learned from Jimo Muling that you did stay in the Ba family for a period of time, and you learned the court etiquette very well, but after entering the palace, why did you have such a big change? ”
Ying Ai said with a smile: "I am the younger sister of the prince's brother, as long as Grandma Huayang does not punish me, who else in the palace dares to say anything?" Court etiquette, knowing is one thing, and not doing it is another. Not only me, but my brother often disobeyed etiquette. For example, I don't live in my own dormitory, and I live in the bell hall most of the time. ”
"Sister Min Dai is Mrs. Jun, she doesn't live in her own palace, and she hasn't been out of the Zhong Hall for many years, which has lost her etiquette. At least I'm not an adult, and it's normal to be a little unruly. ”
Ying Zheng was worried, and all signs showed that Ying Ai was smarter than many people, and she was more precocious than many people. Those nonsense things are just a disguise, not only to deceive everyone around them, but sometimes even to themselves.
From Lin Ye's stabbing, Feng Yi's suicide, Kailong's killing, and diverting Mo Wu'an's attention, she is all there. One thing is a coincidence, but all kinds of coincidences add up, and there are too many coincidences.
Thinking of one thing, Ying Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "You can say all this, but there is one thing you can't deny." The old man who took you to the Ba family, according to my investigation, was a eunuch who went out of the palace, and he was the same age as the wind. ”
"He also taught those assassination methods. He was too sick to continue teaching you, so he sent you to Ba's house. Because he knows that the Ba family is the best place to train the dead, so that you can come into contact with them every day, even if you don't learn anything, you can learn many things after watching them for a long time. ”
"One thing disappointed him, that is, Mrs. Ba did not want to turn you into a dead soldier, except for teaching you aristocratic etiquette, she did not really teach you those murderous methods. But your means of killing people are better than those of too many people, and you have killed many people quietly, and you have not stained blood. ”
"I can only guess that there should be someone behind you who is teaching you, who is that person? And what is your true identity? ”
Ying Ai said with a smile: "Since I came out of Ba's house, my brother can go and ask Grandma Ba." ”
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly: "If you can't ask, I'm sure, even if I ask, Mrs. Ba won't say." Maybe Natsuji's grandmother also knew, but she went into hiding. Paper can't hold the fire, they all know, I'll know sooner or later, even if I ask, so they all hide. ”
"I don't want to let me know, it can only mean one thing, that is, they are all protecting you, and the protection is no less than Mo Wu'an. From this point of view, you might as well make a bold guess that your status is higher than Mo Wu'an, and you are closer to the royal family. ”
"Mo Wu'an is a descendant of King Wu of Qin, and after King Wu of Qin died, the world said that he had no descendants. But we all know that he has descendants, at least Qin Wuhou still lived in Wei for a long time. Your parents died early, and it is recorded in the Ying clan genealogy, but Mo Wu'an has no name on the family tree, it seems that Mo Wu'an is your uncle. ”
"Let's talk about your parents again, they died like King Qin Wu, they died like that inexplicably, and the only one who can do this is Empress Dowager Xuan. Hu Ji returned to the palace, and her parents also died early for no reason, and the death was so strange. From various records, it appears that Orchid's parents died before your parents, and a hypothesis can be inferred from this. ”
"That is, your parents sent someone to assassinate Hu Ji's parents, and Empress Dowager Xuan retaliated and sent someone to assassinate your parents. Those elders are dead, few people know about them, and they all have descendants left. The village where Orchid lives is guarded by a large number of people who have accompanied her as she grew up. And by your side, there is also a group of people who have sworn allegiance to follow. ”
"For the death of their parents, the people they follow will take revenge, but they have no power and power, and it is difficult to kill the descendants of the Empress Dowager Xuan. So train you in secret, and put everyone's hopes in you. ”
"If you want to kill those targets, you must enter the Qin Palace, and you can't get too much blood on your body, lest the murderous aura be exposed. So they show you all kinds of ways to die, and they torture all kinds of people in front of you. In order to get you used to it, the instructor even committed suicide in front of you, and the old eunuch also took you to that rich house, lived for a while, and then killed gradually. ”
"In the process, keep your smile and get used to it. From the time we met to this day, I have never heard you cry, even the first time we met in the rain, I recall carefully, you must have no tears at that time, but on a rainy day, humming in a low voice. ”
"Mi Run has cried, Lin Ye has cried, and even Zhongli has cried. From my memory, you haven't cried once, even if you were scolded by Grandma Huayang, you didn't shed tears. Is there such a person in the world? Yes. ”
"According to the Mohist records, there were two assassins in the world, and outsiders did not know their true identities. One is a bloody assassin and the other is a smiling assassin. The bloody assassin is An Xuan, she was exposed by herself, but outsiders don't know about it at all. But where is the other smiling assassin? ”
"Smiling assassin, invisible to kill, has been smiling for many years, no one knows anything about her, not even if she is male or female, and how old she is. The Mo family can record this, but she came out of the Mo family's training camp, and you did come out of the Mo family's training camp. ”
Having said that, Ying Zheng can't go on, if Ying Ai still doesn't admit it, he can't help it. The smiling assassin is too secretive, and even the Mo family is only a vague record, this assassin rarely shows up on the rivers and lakes, and his hidden methods are very clever.
The record will not be wrong, since the Mo family can have such a record, it means that there is indeed this person in the world.
Ying Ai nodded with a smile and said in a coquettish voice: "Smiling assassin, it's the first time that my little sister has heard this name, it turns out that those old stubborns of the Mo family said so about me." It's a good nickname, I like it very much, at any time, I don't cry, crying makes people feel down, it makes people lose their vigilance, and then they die quickly. ”
Ying Zheng took a breath and nodded: "Xiao Ai finally admitted it, but why do you want to admit it?" ”
Ying Ai smiled: "My brother has said so much, and he must have put a lot of effort into secretly investigating my affairs." It's all come this far, and I can't let you down. ”
"I remember that when I was in the training camp, the old stubborns of the Mo family came a few times, after all, if you want to have a good training camp, you can only survive better under the banner of the Mo family. A training camp is not so easy to build, and it has to divide territory with several other major forces. ”
"If it is under the banner of Leng Yue, Guigu, Shi Jia, etc., those people will definitely send experts to supervise. But the Mo family is different, there are too many Mo families, as long as there is a record, other forces dare not interfere. Those old stubborns only spoke to me for a few words, and they decided that my identity could not be revealed, so after they left, my instructor intercepted them halfway. The record of the smiling assassin ends here, maybe the Mo family is also tracking, as long as I don't say it, how can they find out. ”
"I was guessed by my brother today, which made my little sister happy, my brother is really a person who does big things, he analyzes things clearly, and thinks that others dare not think about it, he is indeed the best candidate for my Lord of Great Qin."
"But there is no way, I promised Uncle Mo Wu'an that I must kill my brother. My little sister is very worried now, the way I kill people is that I don't touch people's lives. Now that Sister Zhongli and Qiankui are gone, and I have no martial arts, how should I kill you? ”
Ying Zheng's eyes widened and he looked at Ying Ai blankly. For an assassin, since you want to kill the target, you have to ask the target how to kill you, is there such a strange assassin in the world?
