Chapter 8 Separation
The night in Shangjing was just one of the things Xiao Long remembered from his own teasing, but, to Xiao Ning, it became the shame of his life, he must find the teenager who had the guts to lay down his guts to himself, in Khitan, no one dared to disrespect him yet.
Jian Lanxin, of course, did not know what Xiao Long had done while sneaking out to play, and after staying in Shangjing for one night, she and Xiao Long departed for the Northern Court Great King Yelu Huge's possession.
Zhao Guangyi told the two swords to come and assassinate Yelu Huoge but didn't show them Yelu Huoge's portrait, that being said, Zhao Guangyi dude himself didn't have a clue what Yelu Huoge looked like, so the people were able to find Yelu Huoge's royal mansion, and the two swords went in to wander around a little bit while it was still dark.
Jian Lanxin decided to stay at the inn near the great king's mansion, she wanted to see clearly what Yelu Huoge himself looked like before she made her move.
Xiao Long heart to his master sent the task from the bottom of the heart dissatisfaction, if not in order to be able to overturn the case, for the sake of the sword family, he did not want to run to this kind of barbaric place to come.
They live in the room just opposite the main gate of the north courtyard king's residence, the price of the house is amazing, but, as long as there is a small dragon, money is not a problem, they live in the morning of the second day, the north courtyard king's residence on the street, quietly acquaintances talk about the king's residence theft, lost a lot of silver, this is the bold small dragon did.
Patiently waiting for the appearance of the great king of the northern courtyard, Yelu Huge, but it seems that he is not in the royal residence.
In the evening, Zhao Guangyi's flying pigeon letter arrived, asking one of the two swords to go back to Bianliang at once, having something important to do.
Xiao Long slammed the epistle on the table fiercely, so angry that his face turned blue, "He thinks we are immortals, people have already arrived but he told us to go back, flying back?"
Jian Lanxin quietly looked at the scenery outside the window and said coldly, "He is in trouble and wants us to go back a kill someone."
"What?" Xiao Long jumped in shock, his body moved directly to his sister's side, "Wanting us to kill someone, sister, we are shadow guards, not killers."
Jian Lanxin eyes looked ahead, her voice did not half rise and fall, slowly said, "Two years ago, I have already killed people for him, more than one or two, it is many, in his eyes, shadow guards are the killing tools in his hands, as long as the people who get in the way of him must die, just like Emperor Taizu is the oldest son, Zhao Dezhao, he did not cut his own throat to death, it was me who killed him. "
Xiao Long opened his mouth wide in surprise and couldn't close it for a while, suddenly feeling that the sister in front of him was not someone he knew.
"There is nothing to be surprised about, as shadow guards, we must obey the emperor's orders." Jian Lan Xin will head to look at him, there is a trace of pain in his expression, "Xiao Long, sister doesn't want you to kill people, but, in order to vindicate the Jian family, I want to kill Yelu Huo with my own hands, so you go back to do the task that the emperor has given to you, no matter what he wants you to do, you do it as you are told, we are the Shadow Guards, we are living like shadows, no heart, no emotions, no flesh and blood, we are just shadows. "
Xiao Long wanted to refute her words, but, seeing his sister's empty eyes, he swallowed his words, he had lived under his sister's protection for too long, he had to do something for her too.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll go back." His body straightened up, "I know we are shadow guards, I also know that we must obey the emperor's orders, as long as it's to go and kill people whose martial arts are inferior to mine, I think I can do it."
"Don't contradict him when you go back, he is a high and mighty emperor, he can't allow you to be reckless." Jian Lanxin cupped his cheeks with both hands and looked at him deeply, "Xiao Long, this is the first time you leave your sister, be careful with everything, wait for your sister in Bianliang City to bring back Yelu Huo's head, I want the emperor to vindicate our Jian family."
"For the sake of the Sword Family." Xiao Long's fist clenched and raised high, indicating his determination.
"Go on, set out overnight, time is most precious to us Shadow Guards." Jian Lanxin's hand leisurely released him, there was a trace of reluctance in her heart, however, the look on her face remained as cold as ever.
"Sister, you take these." Xiao Long took out a money bag from his bosom, laughed and said, "By the way, you don't scold me, it's from Yelu Huo's family."
Jian Lanxin took it and glared at him, it turned out that he didn't honestly surrender all of it to her and kept a little for himself.
"I still have it here." Xiao Long laughed sardonically, opened his arms and hugged his dearest person, resting his head on her shoulder, for the first time since he grew up, he boldly made such a move to his sister, "Sister, I will miss you, you are the closest person to Xiao Long, and the most important person, and even more so, Xiao Long's all, for the sake of my sister, Xiao Long can do anything, I love my sister! " He boldly expressed his inner feelings, then, ruthlessly pushed her away, before her cold words could be uttered, striding away.
Jian Lan Xin stood at the window, quietly watching his horse fly off in the direction of the city gates, the corner of her lips pulled back a little smile, and slowly uttered from her mouth words that she never wanted Xiao Long to hear, "You're all that's left of sister."
Xiao Long raised his whip and rushed towards the city gate, in the moment of leaving the city, several men with gorgeous clothes raised their whips towards him, both sides crossed at the city gate there, who didn't notice who, and just missed ...
