Chapter 109: Murder in the Secret Room
"Lord Chen, Gu Gang Master asks to see you. Suddenly, a catcher reported at the door.
Yang Xiaocheng smiled when he heard this: "I just wanted to go to them, but now it's easy to eat." ”
"It's better for them to come here. Lan Yiting picked up the cup, "Compared to the beggar gang's main altar, this is our own territory after all." ”
As he spoke, the door opened, and the four girls came in together.
"A group of people came from afar and didn't tell us. As soon as she entered the door, Zhen Yingying said with some disgust.
"I also thought that you would go back to rest, so it was inconvenient to disturb it. Chen Hanyu said with a smile.
You Qingshang coughed lightly to stop everyone and asked, "How is it?" Have you discussed the result?"
"The enemy is dark and I am clear, and we intend to lure the snake out of the hole. Wei Fangfei first sold a pass.
"Is there any way to say it quickly, don't be mysterious. Ding Jianling's mouth curled.
"Oh? I'm not going to tell you. Wei Fangfei raised his eyebrows, revealing a defiant look.
"Wei Fangfei, you are looking for death!" Ding Jianling said and waved his fist at Wei Fangfei, and Wei Fangfei immediately jumped down from the chair and jumped directly behind Chen Hanyu: "Eh, eh~ Private fights are strictly prohibited in the government." ”
They haven't seen each other for a long time, so playing with each other at this time can be regarded as a "meeting gift" to each other.
What they didn't know was that in an alley not far from here, a mysterious man in a black robe, with a hat covering his head, slowly walked into a corner.
The corner of the wall was peculiar, and from a distance it looked like a pile of broken wood, and when the man approached, he suddenly turned around, and seemed to enter through the wall from the pile of waste wood, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In less than a moment, two figures also walked from a corner to the edge of the corner. But I saw that these two people were wearing the clothes of the six doors, and they were obviously the people sent by Chen Hanyu and them.
"Your Excellency is right, there are indeed many traitors in the Beggar Gang. One of them looked at the empty corner and said to the other.
"The person just now is estimated to be just a messenger, and he has first-class strength, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of their people in it, so we have to be careful. Another catcher said.
"Then let's get out of here, lest they find out. The first catcher said and pushed his companion with his hand, and the two turned around to leave.
"Whew!"
The swift wind whistled by, and before the two Peerless Realm Elite Catchers could react, they were already unconscious......
At this moment, in a dark room under the corner of the wall, more than a dozen people were sitting cross-legged in the corner, closing their eyes and recuperating.
Sitting directly in front of him was a white-haired old man, whose originally calm face suddenly moved slightly, and opened his mouth to let out an old voice: "Come in!"
The stone door in front of him slowly opened, and the man in black in a black robe walked in.
"Got the news, they plan to secretly protect Yi Shao. The man in black said as soon as he walked in.
"Where's Gu Yuying?" the old man asked again.
"The girl will be with them when she falls, so the point is that of them. The man said again.
At this time, the stone door opened again, followed by two bodies being thrown in.
"Old ghost, did you send someone of this strength to find out the news?" a loud voice came from outside.
As soon as he said this, the other people in the dark room immediately looked at the door with hostile eyes, and it was obvious that the tone of the man at the door made them feel very angry.
It's just that the old man's expression didn't change at all, he looked at the person who came in later, and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a few days, but my strength has grown a lot!"
"For the sake of this great master, our faction has paid such a price. The man stared at the white-haired old man, without a trace of emotion in his tone, "Say, who is the target this time?"
"The matter of the goal, I don't have to worry about it. The old man said quietly, his voice cold and deep, "A few hairy boys are not to worry, the key is those pairs of eyes." Alas......"
"So you want me to lure them away?" the man asked.
"Get away from the few who are lurking in the shadows. The old man's tone was solemn, "Although I don't know which force it is, but if I can be so calm, I must not be an idle person...... It's better to be careful, don't reveal your identity now. ”
"Good!" replied the man, cheerfully, "but old ghost, I ask for what I want this time, please don't delay." ”
"You can rest assured, don't you know what the old man is like?" the old man finally showed a smile, "If the beggar gang succeeds this time, don't say it's you, your entire sect, the old man can make it to the next level!"
At night, the beggar gang began to permeate the altar with a faint aura of slaughter.
So many big things happened in a few days, even if Fang Chengjun was patient, he couldn't help it at this moment, and sent several disciples with six or seven bags to patrol all night in all corners of the main altar. Outside his and Yi Shao's dwellings, there were four elders guarding each of them, and they were all ordered to send a signal to the entire altar as soon as something happened, whether big or small.
And Chen Hanyu and the eight of them were on guard in four different places. They worked in pairs, You Qingshang took Gu Yuxing to monitor outside Fang Chengjun's residence, Zhen Yingying and Ding Jianling secretly protected outside Yi Shao's residence, Yang Xiaocheng and Wei Fangfei lurked on the path leading to the mountain behind the main altar, and Chen Hanyu and Lan Yiting hid their bodies in the big tree near the gate, secretly checking for any suspicious people in the vicinity.
Everything seems to be going according to plan......
"Eh~ Brother Chen. Lan Yiting suddenly said to Chen Hanyu: "Isn't it too much fanfare for us to do this, what if they are really too scared by us to come over?"
"The power that can hide so deeply is probably not so easy to be intimidated by a few of our juniors. Chen Hanyu replied, "This time, all of us are dispatched, it seems to be heavily guarded, but in fact, there are many loopholes, if they don't take advantage of today's crowds and take advantage of the chaos, there will be no such a good opportunity in the future." ”
All the staff were dispatched, this was part of Chen Hanyu's plan. Now the entire general altar is on strict alert, and there are several masters, including them, who are secretly protecting them. But in fact, since they are scattered from each other, they do not know what is going on elsewhere, and they may immediately go to investigate if there is any trouble. In this way, if someone deliberately provokes chaos, it is easy to find a gap in their midst. Even before leaving, he could beat them up and frame them as outsiders who didn't belong to the beggar gang.
And whether this method of luring the snake out of the hole can work, Chen Hanyu and others are also uncertain in their hearts, after all, this is a game they have laid for themselves. If the other party really succeeds, it is to lure the snake out and bite his own foot, which is completely thankless.
Chen Hanyu and they are communicating here, and on the other side, Yang Xiaocheng and Wei Fangfei are also hiding in the dark, and their mouths are not idle.
"I've always felt that this method is a bit unreliable. Yang Xiaocheng poked his head out of the edge of the stone to see that there was no movement on the path, so he retreated.
"Never mind if it's reliable or not. Wei Fangfei said, "It's also a gamble with them." ”
Yang Xiaocheng They are different from Chen Hanyu, Yang Xiaocheng They are lurking behind a boulder more than ten zhang away from the mountain trail, where the mountain road is rugged, it is relatively easy to find a suitable position to arrange the formation, and even lay down a soundproof array. And Chen Hanyu was near the gate of the main altar, and there was basically no hiding place in the open space, so they could only lurk among the branches and leaves of the big tree inside the door. Even if Chen Hanyu exhausted his mind to lay out the magical formation, they didn't dare to make too many moves, for fear that someone in the dark would discover their existence in advance.
is also a formation arrangement, and there is a world of difference between the two places like this.
"Anyway, it's just one night, and no one comes, so you should close your eyes here and recuperate. Seeing that Yang Xiaocheng still wanted to take a few more glances on the road, Wei Fangfei couldn't help but smile.
Before the smile could be withdrawn, the two of them suddenly looked cold. At the same time, he crouched behind the boulder and quietly looked at the path.
In the silence of the night, I saw a black figure, peeking around, hiding, and slowly approaching the path.
"It's coming!" both of them smiled at the corners of their mouths.
Happy in his heart, but the two of them did not make any moves. It's because the other party is still far away from them now, and when the person gets closer, there's no hurry to make a move.
"This figure...... It's a little familiar!" Yang Xiaocheng frowned and whispered.
In fact, in this formation, as long as there is not too much movement, people outside will not notice. Only now that the target is seen, the instinctive reaction has lowered the voice.
"I feel that way, too. Wei Fangfei replied in a low voice, "Could it be that this is really a member of our Five Spirit Immortal Alliance?"
"It's not impossible," Yang Xiaocheng said, "Our Five Spirits Immortal Alliance is harmonious on the surface, but in fact, there are many people who are making small moves inside. ”
"Don't care who he is!" Wei Fangfei's expression was serious, "Later, I will attack from the front, and you will attack from the side, and we will work together to quickly solve this person." ”
"Okay!" Yang Xiaocheng replied, seeing that the person was already relatively close to the two of them, he glanced at each other, and with a movement of his feet, his body quickly rushed out of the formation.
"Suffer death!" Wei Fangfei rushed forward, and the long sword swung out a sword aura almost as soon as it was unsheathed, striking towards the back of the figure's heart.
"Ping!"
With a crisp sound, Wei Fangfei and the mysterious man shook at the same time, and the long sword in their hands slammed together. saw a pair of eyes on the man's masked cloth flash a hint of cunning, and suddenly "poof!", a puff of white smoke sprayed towards Wei Fangfei's face. Wei Fangfei was startled, tilted his head back to avoid the white smoke, and at the same time pushed forward with his two-handed long sword and scabbard, forcing his opponent away, and he also retreated a few feet away.
The man didn't stop long, but quickly turned and fled in the direction behind him. Yang Xiaocheng was a step late, a sword was swung out, and the broadsword slashed through a fierce sword qi, and after being dodged by that person, he slammed into a big tree, cutting the entire tree into two pieces.
"Damn!" Looking at the figure of the man in the distance, Yang Xiaocheng secretly cursed.
"I'll go after him first, and you hurry back and inform them to be on guard. After Wei Fangfei said this, his body moved, and he quickly chased in the direction where the man had fled......
Under the bright oil lamp, a group of beggar patrol disciples had just walked past the gate of the heavily guarded residence of the head of the mantle.
"Stop!" the four beggar disciples who were guarding the door stopped a disciple who was hurrying forward.
"Don't misunderstand," the disciple who had just come over hurriedly explained to himself, "It was Yang Shaoxia who sent me back to inform Elder Yi that they had found someone who was preparing to sneak attack on the trail in the back mountain. ”
"What?" said one of the guards at the door, "Have you caught someone?"
Yang Shaoxia did not say it explicitly. The disciple who came over replied.
"Okay, we got it. The gatekeeper disciple who asked the question just now nodded, and then looked at a tall and thin gatekeeper beside him: "Monkey, you go in quickly and inform the elders." ”
"Yes!" the disciple, nicknamed Monkey, replied, turning and walking inside.
In fact, the door guarded by these four disciples was just a huge circular doorway, and when viewed from the doorway, it was a huge stone screen. After the stone screen, there is the entire courtyard, including the elder's room. Of course, there will be a formation in the courtyard, and when you enter the stone screen, the people outside will not be able to perceive what is happening in the courtyard.
The monkey entered the courtyard and soon came to a vermilion gate, which was the door in the true sense of the word, with two lion-faced knockers on the knocker, and an inexplicable solemn atmosphere in the dark night.
"Elder, the disciple has something important to see!" the monkey stood in the doorway, shouting towards the closed gate.
"Whew~", and two doors opened inside. The monkey stood in the doorway and saw that it was almost pitch black inside, except for the faint light of Elder's bedroom.
With an inexplicable tightness in his heart, the monkey took a few steps inside, arched his hand to the bright light and said, "Elder, the disciple has received the news that Yang Shaoxia and others from Songshan have found traces of mysterious people in the back mountain, please be more careful." ”
After he said this, he stood quietly at the door, waiting for an answer.
All that answered him was a dead silence all around......
The disciple's brows furrowed slightly: "Elder Yi?"
Still no other sounds were heard......
A chill broke out of his body for some reason, and the monkey stepped forward and slowly approached the only room with the light on......
"Forgive the disciple for taking the liberty and ask the elders for instructions. The monkey said again.
Still no answer.
At this point, the monkey couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward, and slammed the door open with both hands......
Outside the door, the disciple who came to report the news had already left, leaving the other three guards still in front of the door.
"Why did this monkey go for so long?" one of the disciples glanced towards the doorway behind him.
The janitor disciple who called the monkey to go in also frowned slightly, and said to the disciple who had just spoken, "You go and call him out." ”
The disciple who spoke nodded, turned around and was about to walk towards the doorway, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps from inside, and then saw a panicked monkey running out of it: "Oh no, Elder Yi was killed in the room. ”
"What did you say?" The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then their faces quickly changed, and the leader frowned, "Is the murderer still inside?"
"No......" the monkey looked very nervous, "I didn't see the murderer, only the body of Elder Yi." ”
"Impossible!" one of the disciples immediately said, "Elder Yi has been back for less than two hours, and we have been staying here all this time, and we haven't seen anything unusual at all. ”
When he said this, the other two also reacted, and the leader of the man had a solemn face: "Let's go in first, monkey, you hurry up and inform the others." By the way, let Elder Fang also come as soon as possible, this is what Lord Chen ordered in advance. ”
When he had said this, he took the lead and walked into the doorway, and the other two quickly followed him, while the monkey immediately turned and ran in one direction, presumably to inform the others in the main altar.
On a roof not far away, Zhen Yingying and Ding Jianling saw the situation here clearly.
"No way, it's weird. Ding Jianling's face was full of doubt.
Zhen Yingying also had a solemn face: "If it was just a few first-class beggar gang disciples who guarded the door, it might be possible for someone to sneak in and out." We've been watching this side, so how could we not see the murderer come out. ”
"Yes, yes~" Ding Jianling also said, "Elder Yi has said before that there is no secret passage in his residence, and we can see every direction of his residence from this position, it is impossible to say that someone slipped away from under our eyes!"
Zhen Yingying didn't answer Ding Jianling's words, stared at it for a while, and then said faintly: "It seems that this time they are playing a secret room murder, and they plan to have a fight with us." ”
