Just when Hua Lianyue was surprised, the melodious sound of the piano suddenly stopped, followed by a scream that resounded through the sky, enough to wake up all the people of Gunzhou City from their dreams.

Hua Lianyue's heart moved, and with a "snap" she pushed the closed window lattice open and poked her head out. But I saw that the lights were already shining in the Wufu Building across the street. Countless officers and soldiers with swords and torches emerged from the darkness. And quickly surrounded Wufulou, looking at this posture, I am afraid that even a mouse will not be able to escape.

It's a pity that it was too far away, even if she stood on tiptoe, she still couldn't see the situation in the inner courtyard of Wufu Building, but she could hear the earth-shattering shouting and killing. She retracted her gaze in frustration and wandered around the room in a hurry.

It turned out that although there were many dead bandits in the night, there were also a few who were only seriously injured, and after being fished up with the fishing nets as corpses, they were quickly controlled by the officers and soldiers who collected the corpses.

Under Zhang Duwei's questioning, these people quickly explained that the ultimate purpose of this adventure into the interior of Eastern Qin was not simply for robbery, but someone paid 100,000 taels of silver to buy the hands and feet of one person on the ship.

100,000 taels is a big deal, but it's not a purchase of people's lives, it's just a purchase of hands and feet. It's just that who this unlucky ghost is, these bandits who can only kill people with silver don't know. Only the new three masters in charge of this operation have the only clue about the identity of this unlucky ghost.

Three-in-command?

After Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue learned the news, they immediately thought of the black-clothed young man standing on the bow of the clipper in the night breeze, wearing a half-hideous ghost mask. There was almost no need to verify it, and they determined that the person was the third master of Qingfeng Village that the water bandit said.

It's a pity that the three masters ran too fast, and these bandits didn't know anything about the origin, appearance, and even name of the three masters. In fact, unless they are particularly close, or they are bandits who join Qingfeng Village together, they will be slightly familiar with each other.

The rest of the people are cold and hostile to each other, they only call each other by their nicknames, and they will never inquire about each other's origins, nor their names, nor their past experiences.

Because these bandits all know that those who can enter Qingfeng Village are not good people, and everyone has an ulterior secret. Human life is as cheap as ants to them. They don't even care about their own lives, they only know that there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, and tomorrow will be sad.

In Qingfeng Village, people disappear inexplicably every day, and fresh faces join every day. Those who disappeared didn't care where they went, and the newcomers, if they didn't have enough means to save their lives, quickly fed the fat fish at the bottom of the river.

Therefore, although the base camp of Qingfeng Village is on the island, the bandits never eat fish. Although they kill like numbness, they are afraid of eating a finger or an eyeball and half a bloody intestine from the belly of a fish.

For this reason, Liu Hui also had a secret conversation with Zhang Duwei, guessing who provoked the enemy on this cargo ship. I hate it so much that I don't even want my life, I just want him to live as painfully as waste without hands and feet, which is quite chilling to think about.

Liu Hui also patiently knocked on every businessman who gave him a gift, but found that although these businessmen were all shrewd, they were just simple businessmen, and they talked about business, but when it came to water bandits, they were at a loss.

In the end, Liu Hui and Zhang Duwei both came to a conclusion. That is, nine times out of ten, this unlucky ghost is Liu Hui himself. Because on this cargo ship, no one has as many enemies as Liu Hui, and even all of them are powerful and powerful, and they are all over Eastern Qin, Northern Hell, and Great Xia.

Not to mention the far away, let's just say that the munitions case that was concluded not long ago was not only the prisoners who were locked in the prison car, but also many people who hid in the dark and broke their teeth.

Although those bandits were temporarily frightened away by the officers and men, with their virtue of asking for money and not wanting their lives, would they really let go of this fat sheep worth 100,000 taels? The answer is definitely no.

With Qingfeng Village's murderous style in the past, he will definitely not be willing to suffer such a big loss and not catch anything. And their last chance to earn this 100,000 taels is tonight, in this Gunzhou.

So Liu Hui parted ways with Zhang Duwei at the dock on the surface, but secretly they had already discussed how to wipe out the remaining bandits. Originally, Zhang Duwei also secretly provided a remote inn conducive to ambushes. It's a pity that Xiao Fengnan, who didn't know anything about this matter, came up and invited them to Wufu Building with great enthusiasm, and Liu Hui agreed to it with bad intentions.

Hua Lianyue knew that Xiao Fengnan's deliberate closeness to her, as well as her repeated show-offs on the cargo ship, made Liu Hui be cautious. If there were really water bandits attacking at night, and after a vicious battle with the officers and soldiers, this restaurant, which had only been open for more than half a year, would definitely suffer heavy losses.

It's a pity that she couldn't tell Xiao Fengnan about this matter openly, so she had to secretly come up with a bad idea and let him knock on the officials of Gunzhou who sent it to the door. I believe that the rich amount of silver is enough to make up for the loss of Wufu Building tonight.

Tonight, everything was going according to plan, and those bandits did show up, and the only variable was the jade fairy who suddenly came to the door at night. If you let them knock on the door and ignore them, you are afraid that the water bandits who are about to step into the ambush will be alert.

After weighing the pros and cons several times, the soldier disguised as a buddy asked people to quietly send a letter to Liu Hui, who had already secretly left Wufu Tower, and at the same time let Yuxian'er's master and servant step into Wufu Tower.

The Jade Fairy saw Liu Hui with apprehension, and was willing to listen to her play a song, and she was full of joy to set up the guqin and ignite the quiet white sandalwood. In the curling green smoke, she seemed to be intoxicated with slightly closed starry eyes, and her fingers gently brushed on the guqin.

After a few tunes, a few sharp green bamboo arrows suddenly broke through the window, brushed her shoulders and flew towards Liu Hui, who was sitting quietly at the top.

Just listen to the sound of "do-do-do" a few times, and the green bamboo arrows that flew in were all inserted into the double-door vermilion lacquer painted large cabinet standing against the wall on the left, of course, it was Feng Qi, who had been silently following Liu Hui's side, with quick hands and quick eyes, and drew his sword and knocked away these few simple but equally life-threatening green bamboo arrows.

Yu Xian'er was frightened by this sudden change, and subconsciously screamed. She fell to the ground with a thud and immediately crawled to the corner. At this moment, where does she still have a trace of the fairy demeanor of the past, she is completely an ignorant person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. The maid was also very scared, she staggered to Yu Xian'er's side, and suddenly exclaimed: "Girl, you, you are injured!"

The panicked Yu Xian'er noticed a tingling pain in her shoulder, and when she looked down, she saw that the bright red blood was slowly soaking her snow-white coat. Yu Xian'er screamed again, she panicked, frightened, and afraid. So he stretched out his slender jade hand to Liu Hui, and called out like a frightened rabbit: "Lord Wang, save me!"

Liu Hui was about to step out of the door, when he heard the words, he glanced at her, met her big eyes covered with mist, and said extremely indifferently: "It's really troublesome! Don't worry, as long as you don't go out, you won't die, find a place to hide first, or lie down under the wall and don't move." Liu Hui flicked his sleeves and stepped out of the room in disregard.

Yu Xian'er stretched out her hand and suddenly froze in mid-air, stunned for a moment, and then fell down again. She seems to have overestimated her charm, and she is too eager to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, so she will bring humiliation on herself again and again.

However, she didn't have time to feel sorry for herself, so Liu Hui went out of the room, and several sharp arrows flew in through the window, dangerously over the heads of their master and servant. Yu Xian'er was so frightened that she couldn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly lay on the ground and hugged her head, and said to the maid with a trembling voice: "Quick, find a place to hide." ”

The maid had already fished out a round stool, put it on her head, and said anxiously: "The room is so big, and this sword doesn't have long eyes, where can I hide?"

Yu Xian'er's vest was already sweating, she looked around in a panic, suddenly her eyes lit up, she pushed the maid hard, pointed to the vermilion lacquer cabinet with green bamboo arrows and said: "There can be people to hide, let's move over." As long as you can hide in the cabinet, you don't have to be afraid of any hidden weapons. ”

The maid didn't dare to move, and she didn't dare to disobey Yu Xian'er's command, so she had to risk all kinds of hidden weapons flying over her head from time to time, gritted her back molars, and slowly moved to the direction of the cabinet with her hands and feet on the ground. Finally crawling under the cabinet, she touched the cold sweat on her forehead and looked back. But he was stunned to see that Yu Xian'er was still lying on her stomach in place, with no place to move.

The maid whispered in surprise, "Girl, why haven't you come here yet?"

Yu Xian'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately whispered, "You open the cabinet door first." ”

The maid looked up, but in despair she found that the brass lock above the cabinet door was closed, and she had to stand up to open the cabinet door.

I looked at the green bamboo arrow inserted in the cabinet door again, and it was still shaking slightly. The maid swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, turned back to Yu Xian'er and pleaded: "No, girl, I can't reach it!"

Yu Xian'er's eyes widened, and her beautiful face was actually a little distorted. I heard her scold in a low voice: "You are lame, won't you stand up?, as long as you stand up a little, you can get to the lock ......." Before she could finish speaking, two hidden weapons with a ghostly light flew in and smashed the four-sided vase of plum blossoms with a red background on the long table.

This piercing cracking sound made the maid who had originally listened to Yu Xian'er's scolding and wanted to straighten up a little to touch the lock plate, almost frightened. She said with a crying voice: "Girl, I'm afraid, I'm afraid!"

Yu Xian'er was also afraid, so she almost stubbornly forced the maid to open the cabinet door so that she could hide in. But seeing the maid's cowering and afraid of death, she couldn't help at all, she couldn't help but feel angry, gritted her teeth and shouted: "Dead girl, if I hurt a little more hair tonight, I will ask Dr. Wang to stop your medicine for the dead ghost lady tomorrow." ”

The maid was shocked in her heart, she knew that Yu Xian'er was cold and selfish, and she usually couldn't see it, but when it came to the critical moment, she would definitely not suffer a little loss. My wife's illness is all hanging by Dr. Wang's medicine, if the medicine is really stopped, I am afraid that I will not survive this winter.

She gritted her teeth and simply let go. She settled her mind first, clutching the door of the cabinet, her nails almost broken. Only then did she take a deep breath, jumped up as fast as she could, reached out and opened the copper cleats on the cabinet door, and then she quickly squatted down again.

This series of movements she did like a cloud of peers, and after squatting down unharmed again, she was still panting with palpitations. Especially the heart beating so fast that it almost popped out of her mouth.

After stabilizing her mind, she hurriedly turned back to Yu Xian'er and said, "Girl, it's done, come here." ”

Yu Xian'er was also overjoyed, and hurriedly crawled to the open cabinet, using her hands and feet at the same time, and quickly climbed in. And hurriedly commanded: "Quick, lock the door." ”

The maids were stunned, the cabinet was empty, and with their slender figures, they wouldn't feel crowded when they hid in it together. I didn't expect Yu Xian'er to be so selfish that she didn't care whether the rest of the people were dead or alive!

The maid's heart almost sank into the cold pool, she was a little sad, and she was also a little angry, after all, she had been with Yu Xian'er for several years, and she was usually very close, but she didn't expect that at this critical time, Yu Xian'er could abandon her without any scruples.

Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, and the maid also has the intention of abandoning her. However, before leaving, she still did not forget Yu Xian'er's instructions, and first locked the door of the cabinet.......

Liu Hui had no time to take care of Yu Xian'er, and he also thought that as long as their master and servant stayed obediently in the house, they should not worry about their lives. He hurried out of the house under Feng Qi's escort, but he heard the sound of rolling on the roof, and a water bandit fell from the roof, falling heavily under the stone steps, and there were two white feather arrows stuck in his chest. Blood poured out of his wounds, instantly pooling under him.

And this rolling water bandit has long been unable to move, dead and transparent. There was a constant shrill shouting on the rooftop, as well as the crunch of weapons clashing. It seems that there are quite a few bandits who have climbed onto the roof. And the courtyard in front of him was also a mess, and the officers and soldiers also exchanged hands with the bandits who secretly infiltrated the inner courtyard.

Liu Hui silently counted the heads, and there were more than a dozen people who could be seen, not counting those who were hiding on the roof and couldn't see them at all. It seems that the bandits who escaped with the clippers have basically emerged, and it seems that tonight has passed. The water bandits who entered Dongqin in Qingfeng Village will all be wiped out.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of "clang", and saw Xiao Fengnan with his hair scattered, wearing only a bed coat and breaking out of a black-lit room opposite. His movement was quite loud, and immediately two water bandits besieged him. Fortunately, he came out with a sword in his hand, and although he was caught off guard by being killed, he was not too embarrassed.

After a few rounds, he neatly killed a water bandit, but he looked up and saw Liu Hui, who was standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back and seemed to be watching the play leisurely, and he couldn't help but feel angry. He swung a few more swords, forced the other bandit back, and came to Liu Hui.

He said angrily to Liu Hui: "Did you already know that the target of these bandits was you, so you agreed to stay overnight in my Wufu Building, and secretly ambushed so many officers and soldiers." ”

The most infuriating thing is that the smiling tiger in front of him secretly drugged himself while he hadn't slept all night and was in poor spirits. He slept so sleepily, not knowing that the restaurant he had worked so hard to run had become a hunting ground full of traps.

Liu Hui hooked his lips and smiled, and said angrily: "Originally, it was just a suspicion and it was not certain, but now it can be determined." So, it's always right to go the extra mile and prepare. After a pause, he said with a regretful face: "It's a pity that you have less medicine in the brazier, otherwise you will sleep until tomorrow morning, and there will be nothing to do." ”

I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen such shamelessness. Xiao Fengnan, who thinks he is an old fritter in the rivers and lakes, and a butterfly on the Fengyue field, pointed at Liu Hui's fingers and trembled, and it took a long time to squeeze out two words from between his teeth: "Lose money!"
