The courtyard of the main courtyard was full of corpses, and the blood pooled into a small river flowing slowly in the ditch. The assassins were counting the number of people. A tall man in black came over with Xia Houlin's collar. With a toss of his hand, Xia Houlin was thrown into the pile of corpses. The smell swept his nose and mouth, making him almost nauseous. Xia Houlin got up from the ground, and out of the corner of his eyes caught a glimpse of the corpse that Xie Bingfeng and Xiao shi hugged together, and their faces were frozen into a frightened expression.
The assassins gathered around, staring at Xia Houlin in the middle.
"Luo Jia, what's going on?" Uncle Duan asked.
Luo Jia took off his mask, revealing a stern face, and said, "He let someone go."
Uncle Duan glanced at Xia Houlin and asked, "Who let go?"
"I don't know who it was. He gave that person his clothes and mask. Kinaro and I thought it was him and let him go." The hopscotch assassin said, "Kinaro, what do you say? right?"
Qiuye didn't speak, only touched the top of Xia Houlin's head.
An assassin said coldly: "Xiahou Lin, who dared to let your prey run away with your courage!"
Another assassin smiled and said, "Naturally it's Garuda. This kid dares not do anything because of his mother's strength? He even plucked all the hair out of my hen last time."
The assassin who counted the number of people behind said: "I have already checked, there are 108 people in the Xie family, not a small one."
The assassins looked at each other in dismay, and Lorgar asked, "Have you figured it out?"
"It's really clear." The assassin replied.
The assassin who used to hopscotch at the door said, "But I did see a man going out wearing his clothes. Uncle Duan, your knife is also on him."
Uncle Duan didn't have time to feel sorry for his short knife, and said, "In my opinion, we can just turn a blind eye. Anyway, the number of people in the booklet is not small, so it's not in the way." He turned to Luo Jia and said, "We Don't bother with a child."
"Child?" Lorgar sneered and said, "I made my debut at the age of twelve and murdered. No one ever told me that I was still a child. Besides, the abbot has always been unselfish. If he found out, we would all be whipped. "
Uncle Duan sighed, turned his head and scolded Xia Houlin: "Stinky boy, tell me, who did you let go? If you don't look at you for a moment, you will cause trouble for me!"
Xiahou said hoarsely, "It's the young lady of Xie's residence."
Lorgar asked, "Why isn't her name on the booklet?"
Xia Houlin said half-truthfully, "She has never been seen by Xie Bingfeng. Last time, she even offended Xie Bingfeng with her words. Xie Bingfeng didn't let her memorize the memorial. Perhaps her name was not recorded in the Xie House Directory."
Lorgar continued to ask, "Where did she go?"
"I have no idea."
Luo Jia took out a dagger, raised Xia Houlin's chin with the tip of the blade, forced him to look directly into his eyes, and said, "Don't play tricks, spit out everything you know."
Xia Houlin met Na Sen's cold eyes without any timidity.
A cold light flashed on Qiuye's fingertips, and the blade as thin as a cicada's wings touched Luo Jia's wrist. He smiled and said, "Jia Lan prohibits the use of lynching."
Luo Jia narrowed his eyes and said, "Kinara, are you trying to protect him?"
Qiuye calmly pressed Qiu Shui on Luo Jia's wrist, forcing him to put down the dagger, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth did not decrease in the slightest.
"I'm just maintaining the temple rules."
Luo Jia did not fight with Qiuye, and reluctantly put away the dagger.
Except for the abbots, the eight groups are the most respected in the Garan, and among the eight groups, the remaining seven groups are evenly matched except for the Garuda. Qiuye is famous for his Qiushui Fingertip Knife. The blade is as thin as a cicada's wing, with two sharp edges, spinning endlessly at the fingertips. I don't know how many masters have been assassinated. But Qiuye also has an identity that is even more daunting. He is Jialan's palm punishment, in charge of the assassins in the Jialan Zhanni Hall. Anyone who betrays Jialan will die under the autumn water blade.
But no matter what he said, he was also one of the eight divisions, and Akiba would also be afraid of him for three points.
"Do you still know the rules of the temple? As a prisoner, do you know what kind of punishment Xiahou Lin should be given for letting go of his prey?" Luo Jia's eyes became gloomy, and he said word by word, "Kill without mercy."
"Even if it is a murder without mercy, it should be handed over to the abbot, and then I will execute the punishment." Qiuye said.
"Okay, the two of you, the top priority is to find that little lady." Uncle Duan pulled the two of them away and asked Xia Houlin, "What's her name?"
Xia Houlin said: "Xie Jinglan, quiet quiet, orchid of orchids."
"This kid is lying." An old voice sounded abruptly, and an old man with a cane walked over slowly. Xia Houlu turned his head to see that it was the senior dark pile who had given him the knife and concoction.
Now that it's over, I can't hide these idiots.
"There is only one Xie Jinglan in the Xie residence. It's a boy. It's the young master he served. This kid is soft-hearted. I'm afraid he has feelings for this young master." The old man tapped Xia Houlin's head with a cane and shook his head. , "I told you long ago that you are not suitable to be an assassin. Look, something has happened."
Blindly join in the fun. Xia Houlin clenched his fists.
"This kid is cunning and full of lies. If you don't use punishment, you can't ask anything." An assassin said behind him.
Qiuye glanced at the man and said, "Galan prohibits lynching. If anything happens, I'll go back to the temple."
"How can you call it a lynching? If the escaped prey is not recovered, I will not be able to explain it to Eunuch Wei. At that time, the reputation of Jialan will be ruined. How can we bear this crime? Even if the abbot is here, it must be Torture and ask the whereabouts of the prey." The man sneered, "Or, Master Kinara is afraid of Garuda's return, knowing that you tortured her son to trouble you?"
Luo Jia also sneered: "Don't worry, Jinna Luo, Xiahou Pei has not heard from him for three months, I'm afraid he would have died in the Western Regions long ago."
"You fart!" Xia Houlin shouted with red eyes when he heard the words, "Bah, even if you are eaten by ants, my mother will not die!"
Uncle Duan shouted sharply: "Xiahou Lin! Quiet Laozi!"
Qiuye held Xia Houlin's head down to prevent him from moving, and sighed, "Everyone is only half right. I am not only afraid of Garuda, but also the abbot."
Luo Jia asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
Qiu Ye smiled and said, "Have you never wondered who Xia Houlin's father is?"
"You mean... how is that possible!" The assassins were all shocked.
Qiuye laughed in a low voice, and said in a low but clear voice: "Yes, it is the Buddha of Heart Slaying, our abbot."
Xia Houlin's face was neither surprised nor happy, he stood with his eyebrows twisted, as if he didn't want to hear the abbot's name.
Someone questioned: "How is this possible? How could the abbot have a child with Xiahou Pei? Why has he ignored Xiahou Pei for so many years?"
Uncle Duan sighed: "The abbot can't, but Xiahou Pei can. The abbot was quite handsome more than ten years ago..."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the assassins became subtle and complicated. This is undoubtedly the shame and secret that the abbot has concealed for many years, and no one dares to speak.
"I don't think the abbot wants to recognize this kid at all." Lorgar sneered while playing with the dagger in his hand, "Don't forget, Xia Houlin also has a twin brother named Chi Yan, who was killed when he was born. The abbot took him away. I heard that over the years, the abbot placed him on the top of the black-faced Buddha and taught him carefully, and now he has already learned the kalan knife method. Since the two are the abbot's own sons, how can they ignore this? Ask, but give it all to that."
Someone said, "Could it be that the abbot and Garuda have already discussed it, each will take one, and no one will be in the way."
elder brother? Xia Houlin was very surprised. He never knew that he had an older brother. He raised his head and wanted to ask Qiuye, but when he saw his solemn expression, he held back his mouth.
Luo Jia said: "Since the abbot did not intend to have this child at all, he would not care if we take care of it."
The assassins nodded. Xiahou Pei usually behaves erratically and does his own way. The assassins in Galan either had a holiday with her or were not pleasing to her. Now they have a good opportunity to clean up her son, and no one wants to let it go.
Someone asked again: "But what if Xiahou Pei came back..."
Luo Jia said coldly: "Didn't I say before, that woman would have died long ago..."
Before he finished speaking, a long knife cut through the cold night and fell straight to the top of Luo Jia's head. Luo Jia quickly pulled out the sharp blade from his waist and slashed the long sword back. The long knife swirled in mid-air and fell into a slender hand.
Everyone turned around, a slender figure like a crane walked out of the darkness, her cheeks as bright as roses were exposed in the moonlight, her red lips were like fire, her eyebrows and feet were as sharp as knives, her face was full of murderous intent, but it was breathtakingly beautiful.
An extremely provocative smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "Who said that the old lady died in the Western Regions?"
Xia Houlin's eyes lit up and he said loudly, "Mother!"
When everyone saw Xiahou Pei, they all showed disbelief. She disappeared in the Western Regions for three months, and she came back alive, which meant that the Great Wheel King died under her hands. Everyone's eyes were focused on the snakeskin bag on Xiahou Pei's waist. The bag was round and bulging, and the bottom of the bag was stained with blood. There was no doubt that it contained the head of the Great Wheel King.
The Great Wheel King, who killed three assassins in a row, was still killed by Xiahou Pei in the end. In this kind of swordsmanship, the abbot is absolutely invincible in Garan. With fear in his eyes, Luo Jia took a few steps back calmly.
"Oh, what a coincidence. I didn't break my arm or leg. I came back with all my hair and tail. I didn't fulfill the wish you've been thinking about day and night. I'm so sorry." Xiahou Pei carried Xiahou Rin to his side , a sinister and sarcastic smile floated on the corner of his mouth.
Her smile was never malicious, which made people look daunting. Luo Jia carefully concealed his timidity and said coldly, "Xiahou Pei, your son has privately released the young lady of Xie's residence, even if you are ranked No. 8 in the eighth book. One, don't even try to get away with it!"
The old man who shrank behind coughed, "It's the young master."
Xiahou Pei shrugged and said, "Do you think the old lady is like you, shrinking her head and tortoise? Hey, what autumn leaves, what are the rules of Jialan?"
Qiuye said: "According to the rules, Xiahou Rin should be sentenced to capital punishment, but it is expected that the abbot will open the door."
Xiahou Pei looked down at Xiahou Rin and said, "Son, since you let him go, you should think about it."
Xia Houlin nodded and said, "I think about it."
"How about it, will you be punished obediently, or will you fight to the death? If you choose the first one, I will take you back to the mountain, if you choose the second one, I will kill everyone here, and our mother will go to the end of the world. "
Rao is Xiahou Lin was also stunned by Xiahou Pei's arrogance. He knew that his mother was powerful, but he didn't expect her to be so powerful that she could kill twenty Jialan first-class assassins with one person's power.
When everyone heard the words, they immediately exploded the pot, and they pointed at Xiahou Pei and scolded: "Xiahou Pei, you are so loud! Let's not say whether you can kill us or not, just the July and a half of your body can want you. life!"
Xiahou Pei smiled and said, "How long can you be happy, what do you do with so much? How about it, son?"
Xiahou Lin asked suspiciously, "Can you really beat them?"
"Of course not, but isn't that our little one growing up? We have a sweetheart. What's your name? Ah, Xie Jinglan, how does she look like compared to Liu Ji?"
Xia Houlin blushed in embarrassment and said, "Mother, don't talk nonsense."
After saying that, she couldn't help but think, Xie Jinglan can't compare to a vulgar fan like Liu Ji.
"Hahaha, okay, listen, son, do whatever you want, but the choice you make will bear the consequences of your choice. In short, it's up to you to choose, your mother, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, and I will accompany you to the end. "Xiahou Pei embraced Xiahou Rin, the killing intent in his eyes dissipated and disappeared without a trace, revealing a bright star-like light in his eyes.
The original apprehension disappeared, and Xia Houlin inexplicably had the courage to fight against everything. He wiped the ashes from his face and took a deep breath.
Everyone took a step back, and the knives in their hands gently pushed out the scabbard.
It has not been a year or two since he was an assassin, and everyone knows what kind of lunatic Xiahou Pei is. She has always been a loner in assassination, with no response or rescue. Assassins who have just entered the industry admire her courage and bravery, saying that she must have the determination to win. But anyone who knows her a little knows that her determination is not to win, but to die.
As long as it is a person, he will begrudge his own life, but Xiahou Pei is not afraid of life and death. In her eyes, the life of the prey is as cheap as an ant, and her own life is as light as a feather! Because of this, she can become Garan's sharpest blade.
Everyone believed that as long as Xiahou Rin said that he chose to live in desperation, Xia Hou Pei would definitely pull out the wave that moved the world. Although it is impossible for her to kill all assassins, with her swordsmanship, there will definitely be someone who cannot see the sun of tomorrow.
Crazy, everyone cursed in their hearts, this lunatic!
Xia Houlin said: "I admit the punishment, mother, take me back to the mountain."
