Your Majesty, Madam, she is not a human being

Chapter 6 Take the mission

After Ye left completely, Huo Qingluan returned to the courtyard again.

"Xiao Cui." A rustling voice came to his ears, and Huo Qingluan called out the other person's name without turning around.

"Miss." Today's Xiaocui has long been reborn, without the fragile look before.Although she is not yet as perceptive as Miss, she is still much better than other servants.

"I'm going out tonight." Although it was an instruction, his tone was commanding.

Upon hearing this, Xiaocui immediately nodded and agreed: "I understand, slave." She has been following the young lady these days, so she naturally understands the meaning of what the young lady said.

"Yeah!" After receiving a satisfactory answer, Huo Qingluan stood up and walked out, leaving Xiao Cui with a worried look on his face.

……

"What kind of work are you doing today?" Huo Qingluan walked into a shabby-looking room with only a shabby counter and a few chairs.

"It's all on the table, see for yourself." An old man's voice came from behind the counter without any intention of raising his head.

After hearing the other party's answer, Huo Qingluan picked up a booklet on the counter and read it.There are all kinds of tasks written in various handwritings inside, including buying medicine, killing people, and saving lives. The prices are also varied. In addition to money, there are also people or goods.

Huo Qingluan ignored the previous tasks and turned to the last part.

When she read the above content, her eyes instantly narrowed. This task suited her very well.

"You want to take it? Your life will be in danger." The old man still didn't raise his head, but he seemed to be able to see Huo Qingluan's expression.

"Show it to me first." Huo Qingluan said after putting down the booklet in his hand.

The old man stood up. His eyes were very special, and the white pupils actually reflected a blue color.

"Okay!" After saying this, the old man handed a piece of information on the table to Huo Qingluan.

Huo Qingluan quickly searched for records about this information, including name, age, gender, appearance, environment, mission rewards...

"How is it? Have you decided?" Looking at the silent woman, the old man asked.

"Okay, I choose this." Huo Qingluan put the information away and looked at the other party seriously.

"Now that you are sure, go and get your mission. Remember, you must pay attention to safety, and you must retreat if you encounter an emergency." The old man warned. Although he hoped that the woman could succeed, he also did not want her to succeed. adventure.

"Okay. By the way, do you know where I can make a weapon? I would like to order one, preferably before the mission." Now she needs a handy weapon.

"What do you want?" The old man did not answer her directly, but asked another question.

"A light sword is sharp, tough, and can withstand heavy force. It is best to hide it under an umbrella."

"You go back and draw a drawing, and I'll find someone to do it for you. But you have to prepare the money, it's not cheap." The old man paused, then groped under the counter for a long time, and pulled out a black object, "You can use this first. Just wait and return it to me after the mission is over."

"Thank you." Huo Qingluan stretched out his hands and took the thing over and looked at it carefully. It was a very short light sword, which was easier to use than the needles in her hand.

"Okay, let's go!" Seeing that she had nothing else to do, the old man waved his hand to indicate that she could leave.

"Farewell." Huo Qingluan saluted the other party and left.

……

Three days later, Zhongdu City was ten miles away.The sound of horse hooves clattering came from far away, and a carriage pulled by a horse came quickly.Beside the carriage were dozens of soldiers on horseback and wearing armor.

"Boss, we are almost at Zhongdu City." A soldier rode up to the carriage and reported in a low voice.

"Well." A somewhat rough voice came from the carriage, "Brothers, please pay more attention. After completing the task, I will treat everyone to meat!"

"Thank you, boss." The soldier replied excitedly.

The carriage was getting closer and closer to Zhongdu City, but just as the soldiers were looking forward to the feast, something unexpected happened.

A stone suddenly flew from the hillside in the distance and hit the horse's leg.The horse neighed in pain, then raised its hooves and leaped high.

The carriage lost control, and two men sitting in the carriage were hit by the huge impact and hit the roof of the carriage, causing them to fall to the ground.The coachman was also kicked by the horse's hoof, vomiting bright red blood and fell to the ground.

"Boss!" The surrounding guards exclaimed, dismounting their horses and running towards the two of them, who rarely acted defensively.

"Damn it! Who dares to plot against us?" A soldier looked at the dying driver on the ground and cursed angrily, then turned to look at the middle-aged man who was getting up from the ground, "Boss, what should we do?"

"Hurry up and get him on the horse, let's go back to the city." The middle-aged man wiped away the blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth and ordered calmly.

Although he had just been accidentally attacked and fell off the carriage, he did not feel much pain. After all, people who practice martial arts all year round have much better physical fitness than ordinary people.But the other person who fell with him didn't fare so well. At this time, he was lying on the ground and breathing heavily. He was obviously seriously injured.

"Boss, you get on your horse first, and I'll take him." A soldier said proactively.

"Well, okay, thank you for your hard work." The middle-aged man nodded and climbed onto the horse's back.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the woods at an extremely fast speed. Before everyone could react, they felt their eyes flicker. In the blink of an eye, the black shadow had already arrived in front of the carriage, holding a dagger in its hand and stabbing it. A man sitting on the ground.

Just when the tip of the knife was about to penetrate the man's chest, an arrow suddenly shot out from the slant, blocking the man's face. At the same time, there was a sound of metal collision.

The man in black did not expect that a crossbow would suddenly come out. She was shocked and quickly retreated to avoid the attack.

Just when she had just regained her footing, she saw the arrow flying towards her again.And the target was still her. This time she couldn't dodge and was hit by an arrow on her left shoulder.

"Ah!" The person in black couldn't help shouting, but the next second, a faint red appeared in her eyes.Immediately afterwards, the people around him paused for two seconds as if they were in a dream.

The man in black seized the opportunity of these two seconds and used the dagger again, stabbing the man on the ground who was already frightened. "Pfft..." Blood splattered everywhere.

However, immediately afterwards, the man in black was stabbed again by a flying arrow. This time the injury was more serious, and his entire arm was almost useless.

This time she didn't scream again, but quickly left the crowd.She understood that if she stayed here any longer, she would die here.

"Save people, let the others chase after me!" the middle-aged man shouted and ordered to everyone.

"Yes, boss!" Everyone shouted in unison, and then chased after him on horseback.

The middle-aged man ignored the matter. Instead, he walked over to the injured person and checked. He found that the wound was not deep, but the bleeding was too much. The bleeding must be stopped as soon as possible, otherwise he will die.

So he took out a pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into the man's mouth.

After a quarter of an hour, the man's face finally returned to rosy, and the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.
