Chapter 620: Miao Jin Rong Ji Zuo came to power (continued 2)
As one of the best assassins in Chang'an, the shadow that once made many powerful people unable to sleep at night, the Nie girl, who was soft and unable to lift a trace of strength, was also distracted and immersed in her memories;
Since everything is about to end and be free here, she no longer minds to re-extract the long-clogged past and the fragments that will be forgotten in her memory.
Speaking of which, the allusion of the so-called assassin family comes from Sima Qian's historical record; but in fact it is just a nearly a hundred years of active Chinese New Years.
The original origin came from the inner court of Emperor Xuanzong during the Kaiyuan period, which attracted strange people from all walks of life; among them, there were many heroes from all over the world such as long swords, martial arts, and horns;
The most famous ones are undoubtedly Gongsun, General Pei and others who were once passed down from poetry and prose; Li Taibai, who is more famous in poetry than sword fighting skills, was also among them.
However, after the Anshi Rebellion, which was in great prosperity and decline in the Tang Dynasty, these worshippers from the inner dynasty were also separated from each other with the Emperor Xuanzong who had escaped from the capital;
Many of them were known for their bravery and went to join the army to serve the country. It was difficult for Guo (Ziyi) and Li (Guangbi) to serve the king; thus they became subordinates who were traveling northwest.
Later, many people who have self-healthy skills but are unable to leave their hometowns, and have formed a group club and called their brothers and sisters, and secretly attacked and assassinated the officials and generals of the rebels and pseudo-official dynasty.
Later, the world was initially pacified. During the Qianyuan period of Emperor Suzong, a great official named Li Fuguo began to be the tyrant of the country, and gathered his followers in the name of the Office of Probation and Affairs to assassinate affairs inside and outside the court.
Therefore, these remnants of patriots who had once been willing to serve the country were secretly re-summoned and fought against them openly and secretly under the banner of helping the Tang Dynasty and protecting the emperor.
Among them, Li Shierniang, the descendant of Gongsun Auntie, was one of them, and eventually participated in the successful assassination of Li Fuguo. However, when Li Fuguo left, the great official Yu Chaoxiang rose again;
Yu Chaoen was deceived into the palace and killed in the inner court, and Cheng Yuanzhen began to be authoritarian. When Cheng Yuanzhen began to lose power and was robbed and killed by his enemies halfway, he ushered in the nectar change of Wang Shoucheng and Qiu Shiliang...
Since then, the game between the official and the emperor has continued. The supporters behind the assassin family have also appeared faintly, including the prime ministers and senior officials of the dynasty, royal family members, or foreign dynasty forces such as aristocratic families.
However, when the central authority gradually declined and the separatist wars became the mainstream; the foreign power behind them cooperated and worked with the eunuchs who controlled the great internal power to jointly deal with the unruly challenged those unruly vassal states under the purpose of maintaining imperial power.
Therefore, as the manpower and resources continue to be invested behind the scenes, the existence of these assassin families is also divided into several veins to restrict and compete with each other in the struggle between eunuchs and followers.
For example, the two assassins of Nie and Gongsun are mainly female assassins trained since childhood; because although women are born weaker than men, they are also less prepared and afraid, and it is easier to take advantage of their unpreparedness to accomplish things.
However, compared with the eyeliners and people who were once spread throughout the Jiaofang Academy, the Gongsun family is good at collecting information and the methods and styles of direct assassination. Nie took the route of elite assassin and decisive culprit.
The name of Nie is taken from the allusion of Bai Hong Guanri by the Warring States Assassin Nie Zheng; it emphasizes the tragic determination of Nie Zheng, a righteous man who was favored by Yan Sui, who forcibly attacked and killed Han Aihou and dozens of his subordinates under the protection of many soldiers, and finally hit the face and poked his eyes.
Because of the importance of cultivation and maintenance, the Nie family did not exceed dozens of people at its peak, and the number of attacks was far less than that of other companies. However, every attack was bound to be a key figure in the key, or a temporary prominent person who held great power.
Therefore, the most famous deed of the Nie family in the world is that they claimed to have been taken away by Yiren when they were young and returned from adulthood, and eventually helped the court solve the prototype of the Nie Yinniang story of Wei Botian.
However, it was not seen in history or other names in public or secretly. The relatives, nobles, important officials, vassals and confidants who died at their hands were more than this.
Naturally, these assassin seeds obtained from the people from childhood according to their root and bone qualifications must go through a long and cruel competition and selection, and can only get the final and initially used manpower.
Then, learn all kinds of skills from all walks of life according to their nature. Even if you don’t achieve anything, you must ensure that you have some knowledge and provide vivid protection and life-saving opportunities at critical moments.
Therefore, as long as the corresponding personnel can live to adulthood and be ordered to act, they will naturally be named Nie and the corresponding ranking. Then they will use this as a number to accept various commissions and perform tasks.
The ranking also represents the ability, success rate and status of the corresponding personnel. Therefore, her former name was Nie Sanniang, and theories are one of the candidates for the next director/teacher.
However, she was instilled and emphasized since childhood that she was always a tool, but she was not the particularly outstanding among the Nie women. Even in all aspects, it can only be considered a relatively mediocre result;
At most, it is to ensure that she will not be eliminated in the selection again and again, and disappear one after another in the sent-off vehicles; in their world there are no friends or relatives, only a short and unstable master-apprentice relationship under the cold and strict dogma.
However, when those peers who live in certain aspects who are outstanding and generally excellent gradually disappear from the perspective of each gathering from the initial task, she becomes relatively unique.
So, someone in Nie gradually discovered another potential, which was a natural lack of presence and unobtrusive temperament no matter what she looked like, no matter where she was dressed.
Because according to Nie's convention, they took a long time to arrange and manage their corresponding identities every time they took action, and finally they were able to approach the target with little precaution;
Compared with those companions who are too eye-catching and inevitably fall into it, her natural temperament has inadvertently increased the survival rate of the means of escape afterwards.
However, as the country became increasingly difficult and the world was in chaos, the number of taxes that the court could control was less and less. These assassin families who lacked resource maintenance and support also began to deteriorate under the pressure of reality.
The origins of the Assassin Family no longer acted mainly against the enemies and threats of the court, but began to kill people just for money and interests, and even participated in the power struggle between the center and the local government;
Therefore, some branches were bought and won over by the vassal states and secretly confronted the center. Some simply defected to the eunuchs who held the central authority and the imperial guards, thinking that they were rampant minions and lackeys.
Some of them were devoted to the aristocratic family represented by the prime minister, and thus became a private force to eliminate dissidents. The original supporter of the Nie family was the Li Tang royal family, and they were inevitably hit and suppressed in the struggle between the emperors and internal officials in the past dynasties.
Therefore, as the sharp blade in his hand in the past, Nie's family has inherited the benefits and losses that have been withered to this day, and there are only a few dozen people left, and even the ones who have lost one after another cannot be replenished.
So much so that as one of the few contemporary leaders, she also serves as one of the teachers; she also pretended to be an internal official for the sake of the Nie family's sequel, and lurked in the Feilong Hall in the palace for three months.
During this period, she even found a palace servant to pretend to be a partner, so she was able to wait for an opportunity to assassinate the Ximen family, the adopted son of Ximen Sigong, one of the four nobles in the previous generation. Feilong envoy Ximen Junsui, who caused his horse to fall to death.
Then this time, for the old customer, she offered an unforgettable and refusalable condition and interests, she traveled thousands of miles away from the ridge to lurk and wait for the opportunity to assassinate for the lasting life.
However, it took two months to get to the mansion of the yellow thief's nephew Lin Yan. She failed for no reason and was even seen through the moment she was close to the target. Then she had no chance again.
Because in Cantonese, underground forces and hidden lines that can provide her with cooperation and help were then uprooted. If she hadn't been alert and attentive, perhaps the bodies and heads hanging on the hanging beam would have their own parts.
But just like fate was particularly arousing, she had no chance to make remedies again. The thieves swept across the south of the Yangtze River, the two Huai Rivers, and then lost the two capitals. In the end, even the imperial court and the assassin family were gone.
Even though she fled to Jiangnan, she still couldn't escape the result of falling into the other party's hands. But at least the other party had promised that she would not have to die in such pain and discomfort. This was a lucky thing.
Because since she is in the assassin family and has gained a lot of gains, she has heard that the assassin who was caught in the accident can even be witnessed with her own eyes;
As a female assassin, the end of not dying on the spot is even more tragic. At least every minute and every moment before death may happen to all kinds of terrible encounters.
For example, when she was a Feilongguan official, she saw with her own eyes a singer who was suspected to be the Gongsun family. How could she only ask for death but was forced to persevere for three days in the hands of a group of eunuchs whose mentality was distorted into incomplete limbs?
So she was really a little lucky, at least not the worst result. She was just a little sorry for the sister who was in charge of her in Xinyunyuan, and she could only make double compensation when she was lucky enough to be in the next life.
But when she began to wonder in her heart whether it would be the pain of swords and weapons, or other means? Maybe it was to be taken outside the city gate and beheaded for public display, thinking of the subsequent shock?
After listening to her story, the other party pondered for a while before he spoke in a low voice:
"Since there is no one to drive you, can you be willing to use it for me... so that maybe I can let go of some irrelevant people to wait..."
Some things cannot be written out, I hope everyone will forgive me. You may be able to see them in public accounts or groups in the future.
The official account has been retrieved, so I can search for "Cat Tired" directly on WeChat. Maybe a chapter and unpublished content in "Three Wears" will also be seen on it.
