Chapter 967: Gao Xiang
Soon, they packed their things. Several people pushed open the window and jumped out of it one by one. Their movements were as soft as those of cats, and they didn't make a sound.
If Wu Song hadn't stayed on the roof, then even he wouldn't have been able to hear anything.
From this point, it is enough to see that these people are well trained.
Wu Song used his body technique and quietly followed behind them. After leaving the inn, the men entered a side alley.
After walking down the alley for a quarter of an hour, they came to the back of an inn.
Compared with the inn where Wu Song and the others lived, this inn was very shabby, and the flag at the door of the inn was like a rag, very old.
The men grabbed the back wall of the inn, got up to the wall of the inn, jumped up, and jumped onto the roof of the inn.
They followed the roof to a guest room in the northwest corner.
A few people were walking up and down the roof, gesturing.
Wu Song knew that they were imagining the situation in the guest room. Once they are ready, the next moment they will break the roof and enter the guest room through the roof, catching the other party off guard.
Wu Song hid in the shadows and saw all this clearly. He couldn't help but wonder who these people were going to assassinate, if that person was a good person, then Wu Song couldn't stand idly by.
Thinking of this, Wu Song quietly came to the corridor outside the guest room.
At this time, it was already the hour, it was very late, and most of the rooms in the entire inn had turned off the lights, and there was no one in the corridor.
The guest room that Wu Song went to was no exception, it was pitch black inside, and the person should have already slept.
Wu Song turned into a Yuanli long sword in his hand, picked open the window of the guest room facing the corridor, and then jumped in.
Before Wu Song could speak, he saw a sound of breaking the sky in the darkness, and something flew towards Wu Song.
Wu Song raised the Yuanli long sword in his hand and pushed away the hidden weapon that was shooting.
He lowered his voice, "Who is Your Excellency?"
In the darkness, the man did not speak, but raised the steel knife in his hand and slashed at Wu Song.
Wu Song took a step back and avoided the steel knife. He didn't know this person, so he didn't want to do anything with him.
The man approached step by step, stepped forward, picked up the steel knife in his hand, and slashed at Wu Song's head.
Wu Song took a step back, and through these two moves, Wu Song had already seen that this person's cultivation was only in the middle of the Yuan Seed Realm, and he was far from being his opponent.
The man was about to pick up the knife again, when there was a cracking sound overhead, and a large hole was broken in the roof, and a man fell to the floor with a pile of rubble.
The assassin hesitated for a moment, then looked at the room. Then, he turned and ran to the side of the bed.
The man who was fighting against Wu Song hurriedly turned around and rushed to the side of the bed.
He flew the steel knife out of his hand and threw it at the assassin's back.
The assassin heard a voice from behind him and hurriedly turned to the side, avoiding the steel knife. At the same time, several more Assassins jumped out of the holes in the roof.
The Assassins had apparently agreed in advance, and after jumping, two of them went to the bedside to join the Assassin who had arrived first.
The third Assassin took out a fire fold and set the room on fire.
Under siege by the two Assassins, the man quickly became panicked.
Suddenly, one of the Assassins threw a dagger out of his hand, striking the man in the left thigh.
The man snorted and staggered. Another assassin seized the opportunity and slammed his steel knife into the yellow dragon, stabbing the man in the throat.
With a thud, the man fell to the ground, his body convulsing for a moment, and then he remained motionless.
At this moment, the curtain on the bed was lifted at once, and a man rushed out of it and threw himself next to the body of the dead man.
When he was sure the man was really dead, he shouted angrily, "You bastards, kill me!"
Wu Song sounded familiar to this voice, and then remembered that the leader of the people who negotiated with the Du family on the shore in the evening was this voice.
Without saying a word, one of the assassins walked over to the leader with a steel knife in his hand.
He swung his steel knife and stabbed the leader in the neck.
Hearing only a soft ding, Wu Song shot out the Yuanli long sword in his hand at the last moment, breaking the opponent's steel knife.
The two and three assassins didn't notice that there was such a person as Wu Song in the room before, and at this time, Wu Song made a move, and the three of them were shocked.
This was because Wu Song had already entered the innate realm, and the concealment of his aura had been perfected, and with the cultivation of these assassins, it was impossible to detect Wu Song's existence.
The assassin who set the fire immediately drew his steel knife, and with a little of his feet, he pounced on Wu Song.
Wu Song's swift body turned into a gust of wind, and he walked around the assassin's side and slapped his palm under the opponent's ribs.
Under Wu Song's palm, the assassin flew to the side and slammed into a pillar in the room.
As soon as the other two assassins saw Wu Song's move, they knew that he was a master. One of them took out a bow and crossbow from his waist and shot three arrows at Wu Song in a row. The other jumped up to the leader's side and slashed at the leader's neck with a steel knife in his hand.
Wu Song unleashed the phoenix chirping technique, opening his mouth and spewing out a stream of flames, sweeping through the two assassins.
The two of them were forced by the power of the flames to hide to the side.
Wu Song came to the leader's side, grabbed one of his arms, and led him to the sky, to the roof.
The two Assassins were in hot pursuit, and soon jumped onto the roof as well.
One of the assassins caught up with Wu Song and the two, and the steel knife in his hand beckoned directly above Wu Song's head.
Wu Song stretched out the middle finger of his left hand and clamped the steel knife, and then used his two fingers hard, and the hard steel knife was twisted and broken by Wu Song like a toy.
Wu Song's left palm changed to a fist, and a straight punch was struck into the assassin's chest.
The assassin flew upside down, shattering his sternum and slamming onto the roof of the house a few meters away.
The other assassin took several poisonous needles from his bosom and flew out, stabbing the leader in the back.
Wu Song slapped out a palm and sent out a strong palm wind, blowing away those poisonous needles.
He turned into a Yuanli long sword in his hand, flew out of his hand, and accurately stabbed the assassin's chest, resulting in the other party's life.
Wu Song, fearing that other assassins were coming, took the leader into the air and flew away.
The two came to a remote place on the shore and landed on the ground.
The leader saluted Wu Song and thanked him, "Thank you Shaoxia for rescuing." ”
Wu Song waved his hand, "You're welcome, my name is Wu Song, I saved you because you are doing things for the people." Dare to ask Mr. Gao's name?"
"Under Gao Xiang," the leader said, "I don't know who Eun Gong is, why did you know that an assassin was going to assassinate me?"
"It's just a coincidence," Wu Song smiled slightly, "those assassins happened to live next door to me, and I noticed them when they were preparing their weapons, and I was worried that they were not good for me, so I kept following them secretly, but I didn't expect to save Mr. by accident." ”
Gao Xiang sighed, "The Du family is ambitious and ruthless, and if the negotiation fails, they resorted to such a despicable move. Pity my guard, Awan, who was loyal, was killed by them. ”
Wu Song frowned, "Sir, suspect that those assassins were sent by the Du family?"
Gao Xiang is very sure, "Absolutely, one of the main sources of wealth for the Du family is the ferry business." I organized the people in the neighborhood to negotiate with the Du family to reduce the cost of the ferry by some means.
The Du family naturally refused, and the negotiations reached a stalemate. I have already agreed with the people that if the Du family does not agree to our request, we will not take the ferry for a day.
In this way, the Du family will lose a sum of money for every day of stalemate. If I cut off their way of money, they will cut off my way of life. ”
"How unreasonable!" Wu Song slapped his palm angrily, "Do these people still have a royal law in their eyes?
Don't worry, sir, I will help him in this matter. ”
"Shaoxia must not be rash," Gao Xiang's tone was very worried, "The Du family has been operating here for many years, with deep roots and leafy roots, and people in black and white know each other.
With the strength of Shaoxia alone, I am afraid that he will not be able to compete with the Du family. ”
"Thank you for your advice, but don't worry, sir, I'm in my own hands. There was a sense of confidence in Wu Song's tone, "The inn where Mr. lives has been found by the assassins, and now there is no way back, I wonder if Mr. has other places to go here?"
"No," Gao Xiang shook his head, "I don't have any friends here. ”
"Then let's do it," Wu Song muttered, "you first take refuge in the inn where I live, there are my friends there, they are also advanced cultivators, and they will definitely be able to protect the safety of my husband." ”
Wu Song took Gao Xiang back to the inn, told them all about the cause and effect of the incident and the strong wind, and told them to protect Gao Xiang.
Afterwards, Wu Song went to the Du family's mansion alone.
The Du family is the richest man here, and the mansion occupies a large area, so it is very easy to find.
Wu Song came to the courtyard of the Du family's mansion and hid in the dark to observe.
At this time, it was ugly, there was no light in the Du family's mansion, and everyone should have slept.
Outside the courtyard, there were two people standing, but both were dozing off.
In addition, Wu Song did not find any other guards.
Wu Song came to the outside of the courtyard wall of the mansion, jumped in, and jumped into the courtyard.
As soon as he jumped into the courtyard, Wu Song noticed that there were two people nearby, hiding in the dark.
Wu Song had long been guarding against this hand, so he had already hidden his breath. The two guards were not at home and did not notice Wu Song's arrival.
Wu Song quietly followed the root of the wall and came to the front of a house.
With his back against the wall, he swam to the roof like a gecko.
Wu Songfu lowered his body and walked gently to the next courtyard on the roof.
The other courtyard is divided into the east and west wings, and in the east wing, there is a room that is still lit.
