Chapter 284 Assassin
A few people were talking on the lawn, and they didn't realize that Xu Xiaofeng was behind the rockery. She came out and said, "So Nianzu is in danger... It's all Chiang Kai-shek's fault?"
Zhang Nianzu said, "Sister Xiaofeng, don't think too much."
Li Changgui asked directly: "Based on your understanding of Lao Jiang, is he such a person?"
Xu Xiaofeng lowered her head and hesitated, "If it's between friends, he is definitely not a person without bottom line, but when it comes to me... I really can't say." She smiled bitterly, "It is said that if a man is willing to do anything for you, as a woman, you are happy, but..."
Zhang Nianzu said: "Let's not talk about things that have not been determined. I am fine too."
At this time, Ah San came out and said to Zhang Nianzu: "That woman said she has thought it through and wants to see you."
Zhang Nianzu smiled and said, "Finally, I can finish one thing first."
Ah Si said, "I have to go back and continue interrogating the Japanese, so I won't go in." He carried Li Erhu down and handed him to Li Changgui, then waved goodbye to everyone.
Zhang Nianzu asked Ah San: "Who is watching her now?"
Ah San said, "Uncle Lei."
Zhang Nianzu shook his head: “Let’s go over there quickly, your Uncle Lei…is not very reliable recently.”
Sure enough, when everyone entered the house, they saw Lei Xiaohu sitting at the door of the storage room, stretching his neck, and talking to Asassin inside with a playful smile. When he saw someone coming, he knocked on the door and said, "It's covered with something, someone wants to come in."
Asasin said in a delicate voice: "No."
Zhang Nianzu was stunned for a moment, but still pushed the door open and walked in. Asasin was covered with a bath towel, with one hand behind his head, looking at him playfully.
Zhang Nianzu asked, "I heard you figured it out?"
Asassin bit his lip and said, "Yeah."
"Promise not to go against us?"
Asassin said: "No, you said I can stay here as long as I like it. Then I tell you, I like it here. I want to heal my wounds here before leaving."
"And then, going back to America?"
Asassin said: "Then I will continue to go against you - Jack is a very realistic and utilitarian person. If I go back now, I will be a burden and will be despised. Here I have food and drink and people to serve me, so I decided not to leave for the time being."
Ah San's eyes almost popped out: "Are you looking for death? If you just admit you're a coward and tell a lie, even if you go back on your word later, we'll still consider you having an attitude. Do you really think we dare not do anything to you?"
Asassin changed his position under the towel and said fearlessly: "Yes, I just think you dare not do anything to me."
Zhang Nianzu said: "It's useless to deliberately provoke us to test our bottom line. You must have another purpose. Tell me."
Asassin smiled and said, "Grandpa is indeed smart. If you want me not to go against you, just agree to one request of mine."
Zhang Nianzu said, "Speak."
Asassin stared at him and said word by word: "You have to marry me!"
"Huh!?" Everyone present was surprised.
Lei Xiaohu pointed at his nose and said, "Girl, I can do it!"
Asassin said, "Don't make trouble, uncle, I'm serious."
"Why call me uncle? Call me brother!" Lei Xiaohu said, "I have everything you like about him. First of all, I'm richer than him. Look at this house. If you marry me, your name will be on it. He only has two or three younger brothers, but I can have more than a hundred at most. And - your brother Hu works out every day!"
Uncle Bao covered his face and said, "Brother Tiger, what's wrong with you? You were never like this before."
Lei Xiaohu glared at him and said, "I'm only over fifty, I can still be considered a young man, so why can't I pursue my own happiness?"
Asasin rarely spoke in a solemn tone: "Those of the tribe stay here, I have something to say, the rest of you stay away."
Lei Xiaohu said, "This is my home. I can be wherever I want." Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he asked, "Is it too late to join the clan now?"
Uncle Leopard pulled him away...
Teresa Teng also left tactfully.
Only Zhang Nianzu and the uncle and nephew of the Li family were left at the scene. Asasin suddenly leaned forward slightly on the mattress and said, "I wish you victory in every battle."
Asan subconsciously wanted to return the greeting, but Li Changgui said, "You are a woman, you are not from our tribe, and you are certainly not a warrior." Asasin had been with Jack for so long, it was normal for him to know a little bit of the tribe's etiquette, so he was not at all surprised.
Asassin said: "I am an assassin. Assassins only exist among the women of the tribe. They are very rare and can only be seen once in a hundred years. Don't you know that?"
Zhang Nianzu and the others looked at each other in confusion. They really had no idea what was going on.
Ah San said, "You're just kidding, right? We, the Golden Guards, have never heard of it, and you just made up an excuse and said you're one of ours?"
At this time, I heard someone behind me say, "It's true."
Everyone turned around and found that it was Li Erhu. After being carried into the house by Asan, he was placed on the sofa. The sofa was not far from here, so he came over after hearing everyone's conversation.
Li Changgui hurriedly asked: "Erhu, what do you say?"
Li Erhu said: "There are a few words in the family tree that mention assassins. The assassins must be women, but they only say in general that they are good at hiding. There are no details and no specific examples. I thought it was just a legend in the family tree, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
Ah San said, "When this girl wasn't injured, you couldn't see her naked."
Li Erhu said: "Then it's not a once-in-a-century event, it's a once-in-a-hundred-year event. At least the family tree I have doesn't have a specific record of it."
Zhang Nianzu said: "I'm afraid that as assassins they don't want to be recorded. They are all women, and they have to be naked when using their abilities. In feudal society, which woman would like to have her name written down for future generations to remember?"
Asassin said: "You are indeed very smart. In addition to the reason you mentioned, it is also a rule for assassins not to leave their names. Because they made many enemies while carrying out their missions, they were afraid of retaliation, so they chose to hide their identities."
Ah San was shocked and said, "It's actually true! Then aren't all the women in our tribe likely to be assassins?"
Asassin said proudly, "There is only one assassin in a million."
Li Changgui's eyes suddenly warmed up when he looked at her. There was nothing he could do about it. Although they were enemies, the world was so big and their tribe had only a few thousand people. Since they were of the same tribe, it was inevitable that they had a feeling of mutual respect.
Zhang Nianzu coughed and said awkwardly, "What do you mean by asking me to marry you?"
Asasin said naturally: "This is also the rule. Since ancient times, if there is an assassin in the clan, she must marry the ancestor."
Li Changgui asked: "What's the logic behind this?"
Asassin said: "First of all, they are all carrying out top-secret missions, and marrying ordinary soldiers would risk leaks. Secondly, assassins travel naked, and although they won't be seen by others, it's not nice to say it. Only by marrying Grandpa will people avoid gossip." At this point she suddenly cast a coquettish glance at Zhang Nianzu and said, "Although I was born in the United States, I was taught since I was a child to marry Grandpa. I am very traditional at heart. Since I am destined to be yours, I will accept my fate." As she spoke, she sighed with pretended resentment.
Zhang Nianzu was speechless and said, "I believe your ghost."
Li Erhu scratched his head and said, "If that's the case... I'm afraid it's true." He suddenly asked Asassin, "You said you grew up in the United States, so are you a descendant of the 'Seventeen Marquises'?" The Seventeen Marquises were seventeen clansmen who followed Wang Letian to Europe to fight during the Ming Dynasty. They considered themselves to be orthodox, and that's why Jack came to compete with Zhang Nianzu for status this time.
Asassin said, "That's right. My ancestors followed Jack's ancestors to Europe, and later moved to the United States. In our generation, Jack has the 'Warrior Chains' and I am an assassin, so we think it's time for us to take back the title of Grandfather. After several fights, I found that I couldn't do anything to Zhang Nianzu. Since I can't beat you, I will marry you. This is called a wise bird choosing a tree to roost in. As long as you marry me, from now on I will recognize you as the only Grandfather and will spare no effort to help you."
Li Changgui pulled Zhang Nianzu from behind and whispered, "Nianzu, this business can be done."
