Chapter 141: In the gap between the shadow nights, looking for a target
At the beginning of the night, people have fallen asleep, the night is like a thick inkstone, so deep that it can't be dissolved, in the underground world of an unknown Kyoto, a certain moonlight is sealed in the room outside the door, and there are four middle-aged men wearing blood-red long-distance running standing quietly.
The long table, sitting north and facing south, six seats on the left and right, one seat at the end of the north and south, a total of fourteen seats, the place where the four people stand, is the most northern, such a seating arrangement, are all respectful to the north, but the four of them just stand quietly behind the seats, bowing their heads and being silent.
The four of them stood there quietly, no one knew how long they had been standing here, and no one knew what they were waiting for? Three of the four deliberately took a step back, embracing one person as the leader, and that person held a spirit card in front of him, with the inscription "My Lord Lin Tianxiao".
Time passed like a white horse looking for a gap, and a middle-aged man who was also dressed in blood gradually walked in through the secret door, no, the four vacancies closest to the north were filled, and the next four people were obviously very familiar with the four who arrived first, and nodded to themselves, which was regarded as a greeting.
After waiting for a while, the leader of the four people standing, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly raised slightly, and then glanced at him wantonly: "It's the third watch on the moon, and there are still four people missing?" His inquiry came plainly, but everyone present knew the real anger in the man's words.
They are all brothers who know each other, and they know the madness of the man that has never been changed until now! The first position in the left row is only inferior to the first seat, and sitting there at this moment is a middle-aged man with squinting eyes, his eyes narrowed to the point of falling asleep, and he doesn't seem to care about what is happening.
But the depressing atmosphere gradually heated up, and at the moment when it was about to explode, he said lightly: "Old Five, after so many years, you have been waiting behind the general for so long? Why are you still so irritable, be quiet, I was just sleeping!"
The nondescript words just interrupted the man's angry and murderous face, and everything gradually quieted down. After waiting a little longer, four belated figures? No, maybe five!
"I'm sorry, everyone, the four of us are really entangled in a lot of things, and we have been dealing with them until now, and the meeting hasn't started yet, right?" The words of a middle-aged man who was also a representative seemed to apologize, but what he actually heard was that tone of indifference.
However, compared to this, the first and most angry leader of the four people was a pair of eyes staring at the prey, looking at what the person was wearing at the moment, different from the first eight people, the next four people were all dressed in black, with an eerie chill.
"Why don't you wear bloody clothes?" a sudden shout asked, and a violent aura swept away, and all the surrounding windows burst open in an instant, and the cold light of the moon cold only spilled into this inner world at this moment.
"Is this?" Regarding the man's question and momentum, the middle-aged man in black later didn't seem to care, and stretched out his robe with his right hand, as if he had just noticed. Then he made his own explanation helplessly.
"Didn't you just finish settling your business?" so I'm used to wearing black clothes, and I can't help but forget to change them for a while, so I guess you don't care about it, right?" The flat tone that still didn't care about it would obviously make the blood-clothed man angry.
However, a white and tender hand, which should not be the hand of a middle-aged man at all, gently rested on the body of the man who broke out, and shook his head slightly. Naturally, which squinting god was it, the two of them were speechless at the moment, but they put away the momentum of their whole bodies.
"Blood Thirteen, the four of you have confiscated the spirit stones for half a month, is it okay?" Although it seemed to be asking the four of them what they thought, the clear-eyed people clearly found that those eyes were slightly open at the moment, which was a sign that they were also angry!
"Naturally, there is no problem!" Although his heart was a little heartbroken, but his face was pretending to be indifferent, he knew that his strength and power were not as good as the man who spoke at the moment, so he could only admit it temporarily.
"Okay, tonight's meeting should almost start!" After punishing the four people, his squinting eyes suddenly came again, and the moment he sat down, he glanced behind the four middle-aged men in black: "As for Yeming, you should also retreat!"
The other seven blood-clothed people all had a sneer on their faces, which was a cold smile that really produced killing intent: "This is not the place you should be staying yet!" The faces of the four black-clothed people were still calm, but they suddenly said: "Blood One, I think this fourteenth position has been vacant for too long, I'm afraid I should find someone to sit down!"
Everyone present knew what he really meant, and his squinting eyes were even clearer, but he shook his head obviously and replied, "It's time to find someone, but that person won't be Yeming!"
Somewhere in the candlelight, there seemed to be some strange reaction with the moonlight, a figure in black gradually appeared, his face was pale, like a ghost's gloomy, it seemed that his body was very weak, and he was Yeming!
Ye Ming pulled an ugly smile, his smile has always been so ugly, he arched his body slightly, and said: "Ye Ming broke in by mistake tonight, and ask the elders to forgive me, if there is any punishment, I will take it together, and I should leave tonight!"
······
Time passed, even though the quarrels continued, the meeting ended at the end, and the figures disappeared again, but the squinting blood one had a tacit understanding with the "old five" in his mouth to stay at the end, and the room became quiet, and the two sighed a little at each other.
"It's been more than ten years!" Blood couldn't help but sigh, in exchange for the same answer from "Blood Five", "It's indeed been more than ten years!" Then the two looked at each other and smiled, inexplicably and wonderfully.
"When the general is gone, the four of you are happier than me to be by his side. Xueyi's words became inexplicably sad as he took out a jar of wine out of nowhere and swallowed it into his throat.
"I've suffered you all these years!" Blood Five took a jar of wine, but didn't answer, "But then there is our bitterness! After all, the general has left more trouble for the young master than foreign enemies!" Although he didn't say it explicitly, what he meant was to point directly at the four black-clothed people tonight.
At this point, Xueyi seemed to be wandering out of the world, not caring at all, still squinting, but it seemed to be smaller, as if he remembered the year: "Forty-two years ago, there were twenty-four blood guards, divided into light and dark. Twelve years ago, only twelve people from the Ming Department remained. Two years ago, there were only four of you. ”
"The fewer the blood guards, the faster the development of the shadow night, and some of the contradictions are inevitable, and the general discovered this a long time ago, but why didn't he solve it, this problem should be clear even if you are a fool!"
"There are some things that must be left to the young master to solve by himself, whether it is an enemy or a friend! Whether it is an external enemy or an internal trouble! On the day of leaving, the general once told me a story that the current Tianhua Kingdom was founded only four imperial families, but in the early days of the founding of the country, the first emperor specially prepared a special gift for his son. ”
"That is the powerful Yan Fu, the former Yan family fought for the ancestors of the royal family, and they were heroes, but after the founding of the country, they used their power and power to secretly accumulate wealth, which seemed to be hidden from the world, but everything was under the control of the emperor. ”
"The first emperor was decisive in killing, and he was the final winner of the killing battlefield, so naturally he could not have the slightest mercy or forgiveness, but he didn't clean up the Yan family until he died, this was not because he missed the old feelings, but because he left everything to his son. ”
"During the reign of the second emperor, the state government was incorruptible, and even the treasury could not take out the spare money to buy clothes for the harem concubines, but this time was the time for the emperor to receive gifts from the emperor. ”
"The big knife expands the axe, and the evidence of Yan Fu and the Yan family's crimes that has been deposited for many years has inexplicably appeared in the hands of the second generation of emperors, he naturally doesn't need to be benevolent, a sweep, and the money that Yan Fu has accumulated for many years finally entered his stomach. ”
"The treasury was unprecedentedly saturated at that time, and that generation of Tianhua Emperor was rated as the most wise emperor in the history books, and the subjects of that generation were loyal to the emperor. ”
"Perhaps at that time, when I met the general for the last time, he foretold the scene of tonight, but he told me not to fight! Why? Because we are old, it is not us to fight! "The more precious the memories are, the more melancholy my heart becomes.
"The last time I saw the young master was when he was five years old! It was also the year I left, and although I didn't see him in the current changes in Kyoto, I knew that today's young master was not weaker than the generals of the past. ”
"Hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, with his own wisdom, but he can deceive more than 100,000 people in this huge Kyoto, and deceive the Yue royal family who thinks they have a chance to win, and deceive this day can be a country for him to look forward to!"
"Winning by outwitting may be in the world of martial artists, maybe it is not enough to explain anything? But when the young master deliberately called for the support of the shadow department, he didn't use their strength at all, and used unknown high-level formations to kill more than a thousand people, among which there were many in the Huayuan Realm, and even more so than the strong ones in the Guyuan Realm. ”
"Then why did he ask us for support? There is only one purpose, Liwei, he obviously also considered, and even had some guesses that the interior of Shadow Night is not an iron bucket, and he needs to control this force for his future return!"
"Thoughtful and unpredictable, if it weren't for witnessing the rise of the general and the birth of the year of the murder, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed that there are still such demonic people in the world, I always believe that the bloodline of the Lin family will never be inferior!"
"It's time for me to go!" Blood Five had always been a listener, and the two of them were suddenly silent for a while, and he made a choice to drink the last trace of liquor in the jar, stood up, and said goodbye.
"Where to go? You should know he doesn't like the feeling of being protected?" Bloody One's face was red with the spirits, and his eyes narrowed even tighter.
"He doesn't like it, but I'm always worried that he's not qualified to preach to his uncle, at least not yet!"
"Well, if he finds out, bring me a gift by the way, clean him up, and finally get to Kyoto, and don't come to see my uncle, who I haven't seen for twelve years, I should fight!"
Blood Five didn't reply, turned his head quietly, and left step by step, but at the last moment in front of the door, he still stopped: "Time is always the best way to test people, the general knows this, but I don't know, I don't want to really be an enemy of others, whether it is them who had a brotherly bond forty-two years ago, or us who separated twelve years ago!
"Yes, sometimes, some choices always have a sense of being teased by fate!" Xueyi was a little surprised, so that his eyes opened most of the time, obviously he didn't expect that the outwardly irascible Xuewu saw it extremely thoroughly.
The cold wind saw through the broken doors and windows, sending away one man and waking up the other's drinking, and he smiled, but the smile was extremely ugly. Because even if you believe it, sometimes you lose your blood!
·······
The changes in Kyoto gradually began to spread, after all, everything that happened in Kyoto could be something that affected the entire country of the Yue Clan, and the shame of the royal family, Jinglong City, who happened to stay overnight that day, was not stingy with exaggerated ridicule.
On this day, in an ordinary town, a young man rode a horse here! His luck was good, today was the day of the market, the flow of people was congested, and it was extremely lively, whether it was to inquire about things or to find traces, it was very convenient for him.
I found a restaurant that connects customers from north to south, and deliberately chose a seat on the second floor that can look at a street, ordered some snacks, and cast all his eyes on the people coming and going downstairs, and then he looked for his target, and his basis was that this street was a woman's favorite street, rouge gouache, clothing and decorations.
Sure enough, when the dishes were almost finished, he also confirmed his goal, and a smile appeared on his face, and the prey was in the circle, so there was no worries.
