Chapter 235: Assassin Walk
A year ago, in the late spring and early summer, the country of Qi was in Lincang, and there was a night thunder. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the curfew, the lights came back to light, but the captain who lived in the northwest corner of the capital entered the assassins, and the captain was seriously injured and his life hung by a thread. However, the assassin did not seek any benefit, and was poisoned by the Captain from the hands of the alien race, and fled in a hurry.
There were elite soldiers of the Qi State holding torches everywhere, and the people in the city were frightened and curious, but they didn't dare to venture to open the door and go out to see.
Only some bold sneakers opened a crack in the window facing the street, and saw the elite armored sergeant running through in an orderly manner. The woman hiding on the couch was worried, and she just wanted to pull back the man who was lying by the window: "Father, don't look at it, if we are discovered, our family will be unlucky!" β
"A woman's opinion." The man was disdainful, but his voice was not much louder than that of a mosquito, "I'm here to find out what's going on, and attract customers when I do business tomorrow." β
Unexpectedly, the woman did not agree, and was so anxious that she burned her eyebrows: "!" If it's a big thing that can't be said, I won't interfere if you die by yourself as fast as you can, but there are still a pair of old parents and young children. How do you let me raise them? β
The man by the window was silent because he noticed that something was wrong with the corridor outside his window. Like, there's something more.
From time to time, there was a flash of lightning crawling in the sky, and the muffled thunder had been ringing from dark until now, and there was no intention of raining. The black was reflected by lightning, so the man didn't know if he was dazzled.
The soldiers had already run away with torches, and he blinked again and looked intently. The sight of one almost scared his soul to deathβthe man saw a bloody face staring at him.
He wanted to scream, but before he could speak, a silver long sword passed through the gap and stuck to his neck in the blink of an eye: "Shhhh "Someone is in the ear, but it is a threatening word that makes people tremble.
kid, I should listen to you and don't mess around...... If there is a next time...... Phew! What next time, there will be no next time when Lao Tzu dies!
The man wailed inwardly, his legs swaying as if they had been smashed by a sledgehammer.
The long sword around his neck got closer and closer, and then a black shadow squeezed in from the corridor on the second floor. "Uncle, the small shop is a small business, and there is not much money, but if you want it, please take it all, don't hurt my life." He hummed with his teeth whacked.
"Daddy, what's going on?" The woman over there sensed that something was wrong, pulled the cloth shoes on the side of the couch and put them on her feet, squinted her eyes and groped for them.
The man was relieved by his wife's keenness, but he felt a cold in his neck, and then a slight pain came. He immediately understood, and raised his voice: "It's okay, it's okay, don't come here." Other...... Yes! β
Before the man finished speaking, he was hugged by his shoulder, and he couldn't help but scream.
"The child is a father, a big man. What the hell is wrong with you? The woman, who was originally just suspicious, was even more anxious, and her feet moved hurriedly this way after a slight pause. She was in the middle of the room, and every time the lightning lit up, she couldn't fully see the situation in the whole house.
The man knows the nature of his woman, she must come over to see it, and her armpits are wet in a hurry.
"Don't come here, I'm fine. It just hit my toe, it hurts. "The man stumbled, he had never seen such a scene in his life. Although it is a troubled time now, his own house is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he can't fight a war.
It's just a tavern to do business and get by, and it's a capable wife who takes care of business and picks up and drops off guests, and he just stares at the back kitchen every day.
Suddenly, a man covered in blood appeared, and he also used a sharp sword across his neck, and his shoulder was also hugged. He didn't even say a word, he didn't say it, but now the woman understood that he must have encountered something.
"There's a soldier out there eyeing our house?" The woman stammered when she heard her man's speech, and she couldn't help but think of the soldiers who had searched the streets like a storm just now.
The man is crying in the dark, where can he still say half a sentence?
The woman touched the mat next to the room, reached out and groped for the flint and candle placed in the center of the low table, and rebuked with hatred: "You are unproductive, wait for me to light the lamp, and invite people in to see clearly." I told you not to toss, this time it was discovered, right? β
However, it was not a man who answered the woman, but a strange young voice: "No lamps!" Otherwise, I'll kill him right away!" β
When the woman heard this, the flint in her hand snapped back to the low table, and the hand that went to pull the candlestick froze in the night. But with her years of experience and ability to deal with a variety of guests, she quickly calmed down.
"This ...... Don't be impulsive, we'll give you whatever you want. But we don't have much money. The woman knew that she could not anger the person who came at this time, so she persuaded her with soft words first. At this time, she only hoped that her two ten-year-old children who were sleeping next door would not come.
When the man heard that she didn't scream indiscriminately, he was a little impressed. However, he did not forget his purpose: "Go and get your hemostatic medicine and clean strips of cloth, and find a room that will not be seen by outsiders even if the lights are lighted......"
As he spoke, he suddenly heard something crawling on the corridor outside the window, and the voice was very soft, but he was as panicked as a bird and subconsciously withdrew the sword that was lying across the man's neck and stabbed it.
"Poof!" The sound of blades piercing through flesh was especially noticeable in the darkness of the night, especially now that the thunder had just stopped. Feeling the weight on the sword, the man knew that it was a fat mouse, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't expect that the man trapped in front of him would violently break free of the clamp and escape!
"you, run! I broke free of him! The man almost crawled out of the rope, "Run out and shout!" He should be the one the soldiers are going to catch! β
His voice trembled, and the woman over there heard the sound and his words, and knew that it was her own man who had escaped from his opponent. She didn't want to think about it, and rushed out with the man turning around: "Someone! There are thieves! There are assassins! β
A shrill shout pierced the new thunder in the sky and reached the ears of the soldiers who had already run far away.
The dark shadow by the window didn't have time to catch anyone again, so he turned around and climbed out of the window. There was a firelight approaching this way, and the man in black ran with great difficulty, he was covered in wounds, and blood began to drip from the strip of cloth that had finally cut his robe and tied the wounds.
If the soldiers chase after him at this time, he will not be able to return to the Ghost Valley......
He lamented in his heart, but the stubborn figure still jumped from the second floor of the tavern in thunder and lightning! Compared to the hard work he had just climbed to the second floor to avoid pursuit, this jump was much easier.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down and landed on the sword in the black shadow's hand!
