After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Chapter 222 Calculation

Everything happened very suddenly.

Sand and rocks flew everywhere, and violent snowstorms blew up all around.

Ajin raised his hand, drew out his sword, and used his internal force to break the oncoming wind and snow.

The moment his vision became clear, he saw that the person in front of him was still dressed as a waiter, but his face was no longer that of a waiter. Instead, he looked like a young man with a dagger wound on his forehead, extending from his brow bone to the bridge of his nose.

It looks particularly terrifying.

Ah Jin was wary of the newcomer and asked, "Who are you? How dare you trick me into coming here? What do you want to do?"

The young man had a grim expression. He put his hands behind his back and pulled them out. A pair of sharp knives appeared in his hands.

"Your name is Lin Youyin, right? You are wearing gorgeous clothes, a jade crown on your head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a gold and silver jade belt around your waist."

The young man described Ajin's current attire very accurately. After hearing this, Ajin already had an idea in his mind and understood who this person was. He was the person he was waiting for - Xu Lian.

In order to hide his true identity, Ah Jin pretended to be shocked and looked at Xu Jian with a wary and unhappy look: "Who are you? How do you know me?"

Xu Jian's gaze paused on his hand, then moved upwards, finally settling on his face with a dull expression.

"Xu Jian, the top assassin of the Secret Shadow Pavilion. Today is the day you die."

I didn't expect that Xu Jian, as a killer, would actually give his name. Ajin blinked and felt a little surprised.

After all, most killers would not bother to give the name of a dying person.

Just when he was feeling amazing, Xu Jian was already rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed with two swords in hand, not even taking him seriously at all.

Because in Ajin's eyes, his speed was like a turtle race, and it had no deterrent effect at all.

It was one thing that Ajin could deal with him, but the ultimate goal was not to fight him.

When Xu Lian rushed over, Ajin was terrified and ran away screaming, running into a valley.

Xu Jian originally thought that dealing with a noble young man would be an easy task, but he never expected that Ajin's speed of running away was even faster than that of the martial artists who were good at light work. He was slightly shocked.

But after a moment, he narrowed his eyes and chased after him with two swords in hand. He would not let the prey he was targeting survive under his nose.

Ajin adjusted his running speed while making sure that Xu Jian's double swords could not hit him.

Such subtle and difficult control is extremely difficult for anyone who knows martial arts, but Ajin did it.

Xu Jian also realized later that he must have fallen into a trap.

He saw that the surroundings began to darken, and his breathing became strange and poisonous!

After realizing this, he immediately held his breath, but it was still too late.

Xu Jian shook his head, which was a little cloudy, and his vision began to blur. He could only raise a knife and point it at A Jin, staring at him with fierce eyes: "You are not Lin Youyin! Why did you lead me here?"

From being afraid at the beginning to being calm and proud now, Ajin's face was full of expressions. Xu Jian saw it and was very annoyed. However, he felt like all the strength had been drained away from him at this moment, and it was a bit difficult for him to lift his two swords.

A Jin spread his hands and said to Xu Jian, "Originally, I wanted to have a hearty fight with you, the top assassin of the Secret Shadow Pavilion. Unfortunately, there are more important questions waiting for you to answer. So, next time, I will definitely give you a good fight."

Obviously, Ajin did not want to answer Xu Jian's question, but instead just said what he wanted to say.

This undoubtedly stimulated Xu Jian. He felt that he was being looked down upon, and a surge of anger surged in his heart, forcing him to ignore the poison and attack Ajin frantically with two swords in hand.

Ajin was surprised for a moment, but before Xu Jian attacked, he immediately reacted and blocked the opponent's attack with his sword.

Xu Jian's steps were now unstable, and even if he tried his best he couldn't touch even a hair of Ajin. Of course, even if he was awake, he might not be able to beat him, Ajin thought confidently.

Xu Jian was not convinced and wanted to attack, when a voice came from the darkness.

"That's enough, Jin."

Hearing Rong Su's call, Ajin shrugged at Xu Jian, withdrew a sword, and jumped to distance himself from Xu Jian.

Without Ajin's sword as a support, Xu Jian immediately lost his strength and fell to the ground. He struggled to hold the knife and pressed it to the ground to prevent himself from falling to the ground in a mess.

Xu Jian had difficulty breathing, and felt as if his chest was blocked by a stone. However, he was now in a deep danger that he had not prepared for, and he used his extremely strong mental strength to support himself from falling asleep.

He raised his head and stared at the darkness in front of him. The female voice came from there.

Rong Su could sense Xu Jian's fierce gaze, but she didn't plan to show up yet. It was not the right time yet.

She used the dim vision to talk to Xu Kan.

"Xu Jian. The top assassin of the Secret Shadow Pavilion. Hello."

After hearing Rong Su's voice, Xu Jian's vision was a little cloudy, but it did not mean that his consciousness was cloudy. He endured the discomfort in his body and spoke in a cold voice.

"It was you who issued the killing order for Lin Youyin in the Secret Shadow Pavilion, and then you asked that man to lead me here. Who are you?"

Rong Su clapped her hands, and was somewhat appreciative of Xu Jian's sharpness and intelligence.

"It seems that to be able to become a top killer, you must have some extraordinary qualities. As expected, you are very smart."

Xu Jian didn't care about being recognized by Rong Su. He sneered and held the tiger's mouth tightly with his thumb, otherwise he would fall into a coma.

"At first, I remember being surprised. How could someone kill a noble son and offer a hefty price of 10,000 taels of gold? And the arrest warrant was issued by a young woman. I thought it was a matter of emotional vengeance. I never thought your target would be me. Tell me, what is your true intention?"

Unexpectedly, at this time, Xu Jian could still sort out everything so clearly. Rong Su had to admit his sharpness, but she couldn't express her intentions yet.

She changed the subject and said softly, staring at Xu Jian: "Do you know Xu Cao?"

When Xu Jian heard the name, he was stunned for a moment, and then he became coldly angry. His eyes were like a beast that was ready to explode at any time. He looked at her ferociously.

"Do you know Xu Cao? Or do you know where he is?"

Seeing Xu Jian's expression, Rong Su tentatively asked, "You don't remember who he is to you? Or do you know, but you hate him?"

Xu Jian's eyes were filled with coldness, and unconcealable hatred echoed in them. Seeing this, Rong Su frowned. It seemed that the leader of the Secret Shadow Pavilion had ulterior motives in order to create a killing weapon.

"Who are you? What's your relationship with Xu Cao? Did he send you to kill me? Does he think he can just hide from me? If he has the guts, let him come out and confront me!"

Xu Jian roared at her. If he wasn't so weak at the moment, he would have jumped up from the ground and strangled her.

Rong Su frowned. It seemed that Xu Jian had a deep misunderstanding of Xu Cao.

Before Xu Lan was about to fall into a coma, she said to him, "Xu Cao and I are not very familiar with each other, but from the information I have found, Xu Cao has done nothing wrong to you. The one who has wronged you may be the person you trust the most right now. If you don't believe it, you can go and check it out. Maybe there is a secret place somewhere that tells you the truth you want to know..."

The moment she finished speaking, Xu Jian fell to the ground unconscious.

Rong Su walked out from the darkness and stared at Xu Jian who was lying unconscious on the ground.

Ah Jin also came over, glanced at Xu Jian, and asked her, "Girl, what should we do with this man? We can't just leave him here, right? There are often wolves in this valley."

Rong Su thought for a moment and said, "Throw him back to the Secret Shadow Pavilion."

Ah Jin was a little surprised when he heard this: "We spent so much effort and spent ten thousand taels, and we're just sending it back to the Secret Shadow Pavilion like this?"

Rong Su narrowed her eyes, curled her lips into a smile, stared into the darkness, and said slowly, "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. If we can eliminate the assassins of the Secret Shadow Pavilion, won't we be able to get back the ten thousand taels?"

Ajin was half understanding and half doubtful, frowning and scratching his nose, but then he still listened to Rong Su's words, carried Xu Lian and sent him back to the Secret Shadow Pavilion.

-

Secret Shadow Pavilion.

Waking up from a nightmare, Xu Jian suddenly sat up from the bed, his head covered in cold sweat, his breathing rapid, and his chest heaving up and down.

He looked around again and found that he was no longer in that dim valley, but had returned to the Secret Shadow Pavilion.

He was confused, lowering his eyes in thought. Was he just dreaming? But why did it seem so real?

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Deputy Envoy. The Pavilion Master is looking for you."

Hearing that the Pavilion Master was looking for him, Xu Jian quickly got out of bed, dressed neatly, pushed the door open, and walked towards the Pavilion Master's residence with his long legs.

After passing through several corridors, we arrived in front of a pavilion made of sandalwood.

When the attendants guarding the pavilion saw him, they all saluted him respectfully.

Xu Jian nodded and stepped in.

After entering, I heard the smoke from the stove and the crackling sound of chess players.

Xu Lan saw the figure sitting inside the landscape screen through the screen, and he respectfully saluted the person with his fists clasped.

"Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The sound of playing chess paused slightly, and then sounded again, followed by a middle-aged man's voice, but it was particularly clear and elegant, like a scholar with a wealth of knowledge, with a gentle and smooth tone.

"Are you injured?"

Xu Jian felt a warm feeling in his heart as he lowered his head and said, "It's okay. Thank you for your concern."

The middle-aged man seemed to smile faintly, then said calmly, "You've never failed before. This time, your prey was thrown right at your door."

The voice was neither light nor soft, but it touched Xu Jian's heart like a heavy stone thrown into a calm lake, causing heavy ripples.

Only one thought came to his mind, that is, he was not dreaming, it was not a dream, he was indeed being plotted against and then poisoned.

Xu Jian didn't reply. The middle-aged man's gentle voice seemed a little displeased: "Xu Jian?"

Hearing the middle-aged man's voice, he quickly came back to his senses and apologized with a fist: "I'm sorry. Pavilion Master, perhaps I was too arrogant and didn't think that there are people who are better than you. I was plotted against and that's why I ended up like this."

The middle-aged man seemed to have stopped playing chess, as if looking directly at him through the screen, his gaze full of scrutiny and intimidation.

Xu Jian didn't dare to look at the other person even through the screen, he quickly lowered his head.

"Xu Jian, you must remember that you are the face of the Secret Shadow Pavilion. If you fail, it will be a disgrace to the Secret Shadow Pavilion."

The middle-aged man's voice was very soft, without a trace of anger, but his words carried an invisible reproach that made him breathless.

"Yes. I will keep it in mind." Xu Kan lowered his head and felt guilty.

"Master Sun and his men have failed. They still have the nerve to run back. You go and see them off. Also, once you get the prey worth ten thousand taels, go and take up the mission from Master Sun and his men. You must capture Rong Su alive for me." The middle-aged man spoke in a light tone, as if he was accustomed to controlling people's life and death in his hands.

Xu Jian didn't dare to refute and nodded in response. Then he saw the middle-aged man waving to him, so he lowered his head and left the pavilion.

He seemed to have forgotten what Rong Su said a long time ago. Actually, he had not forgotten it, but he just didn't want to question the person who saved his life.

Xu Lan turned around and went to the Life and Death Building.

The Life and Death Building is a place specially used by the Secret Shadow Pavilion to deal with killers who have failed in their missions more than twice. If the hall master fails once, he will be punished.

The punishment, of course, is death.

When they arrived at the dungeon of the Life and Death Building, Xu Jian saw from a distance that Master Sun was tied up with iron chains. When he saw Xu Jian, it was like he saw a life-saving straw.

"Deputy Envoy Xu, please save me. I am the hall master. I just failed once. Don't all the efforts I made for the pavilion deserve me to be treated preferentially this time?"

Xu Lan looked at the ferocious face of Master Sun, which was desperate for survival. His eyes were unmoved as he said coldly, "This is not the first time that Master Sun has learned about the rules of the Secret Shadow Pavilion. Cruelty is the way to survive here."

He took the knife handed to him by the servant.

When Master Sun saw the knife, he immediately began to tremble all over. His instinct for survival forced him to try every possible way to beg Xu Jian to spare his life.

"As long as! As long as you don't kill me, I will tell you about your lost memory!"

When the lost memory was mentioned, Xu Lan's eyes suddenly became stern, and the raised knife paused. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Master Sun, whose face was full of fear.

Then, he glanced at the attendant standing not far behind him, turned his back to the attendant, and said, "You go out. I will execute this man. After all, he was once the hall master."

The attendant said nothing more, bowed respectfully and left the dungeon.

Xu Jian's face was gloomy, and he looked at Master Sun with a serious look: "Tell me, what do you know?"

Master Sun saw that Xu Jian really wanted to know, so he started bargaining with him.

"As long as you don't kill me and let me live, I will tell you everything I know."

Xu Lan frowned and stared at Master Sun for a long time. He didn't trust him that much. "When I first came in, you weren't here. What could you know?"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Hall Master Sun panicked and said quickly, "Just like you said, I wasn't there when you were in the pavilion, but I was able to tell you about your amnesia. You have to know that your amnesia is not something that anyone can know."

After hearing what Master Sun said, Xu Jian did not deny that not many people knew about his amnesia.

With a gloomy face, he grabbed the collar of Master Sun's clothes with one hand and said, "Tell me, what do you know?"

Hall Master Sun seemed to have regained the initiative and said with a smile, "It all depends on how Deputy Envoy Xu saves me."

Xu Jian's expression was somewhat solemn.
