Winter nights always come very quickly, and it doesn't take long for the sky to get dark. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Chen Guyu and Xu Zhengguo had a brief dinner, they began to prepare for tonight's action.

Xu Zhengguo took out a thick booklet, opened it and said: "This small city is called Tianze City, because it is close to Hongze Road, so it has always been very prosperous, and it is one of the more famous cities in Daijiang. In total, there are more than 6,000 households and tens of thousands of people. Recently, the Assassins were infested, and the deputy county lord in the county government was the first to be killed, and the entire family was killed by the assassins. In addition, there have been eleven accidents in the past few days, one of which is the son of Liu Laohan who came before, a family of three, and no one survived. ”

Xu Zhengguo paused, and then said: "In addition, there are also five guards of the city guards who were injured, and two of them are uncertain about their lives and deaths. They heard the people's cries for help, only to be wounded by the Assassins. ”

"That's about all I know. ”

Chen Guyu's face was also a little ugly, he didn't expect that in just a few days, the assassins had killed so many people.

Chen Guyu suddenly asked, "When did these assassins appear, and when did they appear?" ”

Xu Zhengguo thought for a moment and pondered for a moment: "It should be seven or eight days ago, when we went to the main city with the marshal, and the marshal began to take over everything on the front line, and immediately dispatched troops out of the city. On that day, many representatives of the castle came to the Marshal's Mansion and claimed that their prefectural lord had been assassinated by the Assassins. Because of the lack of manpower, the marshal and the instructors sent us out to deal with this matter in various cities, but we didn't expect to achieve nothing. ”

"Seven or eight days. Chen Guyu nodded, and asked again, "So, what is the purpose of these assassins?"

"Aren't they just here to disrupt the rear, they know that they can't beat Qiu Shuai, so they came up with this kind of indiscriminate means to contain them. Xu Zhengguo looked disdainful.

Chen Guyu shook his head and said, "Then why are they only dispatching now? They knew that Qiu Shuai would come, so why didn't they assassinate them earlier? If it were me, they would have done it a long time ago." As soon as he invaded Daigang Province, he sent assassins, assassinated the front-line generals, assassinated the rear officials, and then assassinated the civilians. From that time to today, a few months have passed, and the entire Daijiang Dao can have been killed into purgatory, at that time, let alone Qiu Shuai, it is useless for the Daluo Immortal to come!"

Chen Guyu finally said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is that these assassins who overturned the Tang Dynasty are simply an existence that violates common sense. With them, Qiu Shuai didn't arrive in the past few months, he could kill as much as he wanted, even if Qiu Shuai came, there was nothing he could do with them. However, at the beginning of the invasion of Daijiang Province, they only sent such assassins to kill a few generals like a knife, and after that, they did not move again. Don't you think it's strange that the assassins have sprung up like mushrooms since the day Qiu Shuai arrived?"

"They're acting like they're going to a place. Obviously, you can reach it in a straight line without any obstacles, but you have to go around all kinds of detours, and there will be all kinds of emergencies in the middle, is the leader of the Tang Dynasty so boring?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhengguo's face suddenly changed, and he muttered, "Could it be that they really have some conspiracy?"

"I don't know, it's just an obvious question, I'm afraid you have to see those assassins to find out. ”

Chen Guyu's eyes became deeper.

Xu Zhengguo thought for a while and nodded, and said in a low voice: "According to the recent days, most of the assassins appeared around the time of the child and then killed people. On the day I came, I mobilized all the officers and soldiers of the city to guard the various intersections in the city, and it was supposed that the assassins would not have been able to enter, but on that day, something happened. One night, two families on the east and west sides were killed, and by the time we arrived, the Assassins were gone. ”

"The next night, something happened that everyone knows, the Assassins came to assassinate me, but I was seriously injured instead, and finally disappeared mysteriously. ”

Xu Zhengguo said hatefully.

"The intersection of the whole city. Chen Guyu asked casually, "What if the assassin has actually been hiding in the city?"

"I've thought about that too. This is very unlikely, first of all, the assassins are not alone, but a group of people, and it is not easy to hide in this city, especially now, when strangers appear, they will be interrogated. Secondly, at that time, there were not only officers and soldiers guarding the intersection, but also patrolling every street and alley in the city, and the people were also vigilant, but they didn't see anything, and it happened. ”

Xu Zhengguo said: "That's why I said that this group of assassins really came and went without a trace, just like ...... Ghost-like. ”

It can be seen that the young man in the Tianzi Camp in front of him has indeed been dizzy in the past few days, and even ghosts and other monsters have popped up.

Chen Guyu smiled and said easily: "Since this is the case, then you and I will kill this ghost tonight." ”

Xu Zhengguo smiled wryly and shook his head, obviously taking it as a joke.

Chen Guyu didn't talk much about it, and as soon as the topic changed, he began to talk about other things.

Time passed quickly, the lights fell, and in a blink of an eye it was midnight.

Chen Guyu and Xu Zhengguo came out of the hut and walked into the night.

Chen Guyu looked at the thatched hut behind him and said, "How do you live in this place?"

Xu Zhengguo said: "Anyway, I don't have any requirements, just find a place to live, just don't trouble the people." ”

"Haha, if you become an official in the future, you must be a loving and righteous Qing official. Chen Guyu said with a smile.

"Maybe I was poor when I was a child, so I couldn't enjoy other lives and couldn't do extravagant things. ”

The two of them talked casually and began to wander around the city.

At this point, the time is approaching the sub-hour.

According to the previous situation, the Assassins were about to appear.

The night wind is cold, there is no obstruction around this small city, and it is in the plain, so the night wind is particularly strong, blowing whirring, and there is a kind of momentum that swallows mountains and rivers.

Xu Zhengguo shuddered and secretly scolded this ghost weather. Indeed, in winter, the night is particularly difficult, at least there is nothing to do and you absolutely don't want to go out.

Chen Guyu didn't say anything, just raised his attention to the limit and listened to the movement between Fang Yuan.

In the darkness of the night, the two walked quietly on the street. There was no sound all around, only the footsteps of the two people sounded in the dark night, and they were heard far, far away. The night sky was supposed to be a full moon tonight, but the recent rainy weather blocked the bright moonlight, and the stars were dim and did not shine much.

The people were asleep, and although they were worried about the Assassins, they could not do anything about it, after all, life had to go on and their livelihoods would have to be maintained. What's more, there are so many people in the city, it is impossible for them to take their turn, they comfort them like this.

With so many households in the city, the probability of one in a few thousand is very small. But as the so-called fear will be superimposed, it is okay for now, the assassin has not been here for a few days, but it will not be long before this kind of thing continues to happen, then it will cause panic among the people, and even riots.

This is exactly what the marshal was worried about, so they sent the students of the entire academy in the hope of curbing this situation.

Chen Guyu paid attention to the surrounding sounds as he walked, and at the same time mobilized the power of the sun and moon in his body to cover the entire town. It's a pity that the moonlight tonight is too dim, and gradually, Chen Guyu also began to feel tired, and the power of the sun and the moon couldn't make ends meet.

Time passed minute by minute, and the time was about to pass.

Xu Zhengguo finally said, "Could it be that the assassin didn't dare to come tonight?"

There was a lot of anger in his words, obviously, he finally found a helper tonight, but the assassin released his pigeon, Xu Zhengguo felt very depressed in his heart.

Chen Guyu frowned and shook his head: "It shouldn't be." ”

As soon as the words fell.

"Ahh

A terrible scream streaked across the night sky, waking up the entire town and making people shudder.

Chen Guyu looked up suddenly, the power of the sun and the moon was working, and the next moment he sensed it, and shouted: "West, the third family." At the same time, the whole person jumped up and rushed up.

Xu Zhengguo was startled by the sudden scream, and when he heard Chen Guyu shouting like this, he immediately reacted and hurriedly ran to the west.

Chen Guyu was alone in front, like a big bird flying on the eaves, and he arrived at his destination in the blink of an eye.

It can be seen that this should be a solid family. The vermilion gate was closed, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside. Outside the gate are two majestic stone lions, and there are two big red lanterns hanging on the door beams.

Chen Guyu didn't think much about it, kicked open the door with one kick, and walked inside. The smell of blood rushed straight to my throat.

Not long after Chen Guyu entered, Xu Zhengguo also arrived, he was sighing at the high level of Chen Guyu's skills, but now when he looked up, he was shocked: "It's Li Shanyuan's family!"

Chen Guyu pushed open the door of the backyard and walked in. I only felt that the smell of blood was stronger, and it was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

But it didn't matter, he waved his hands, and a flash of light flashed out, and the candle was lit in an instant. You must know that the power of the sun is scorching in the world, and it is definitely overkill to light a candle.

At the moment when the flame on the candle appears, normal people will always have a brief period of blindness, that is, the moment when they turn from darkness to light, because of the great stimulation, many people will even close their eyes to adapt to the changes.

At this time, Chen Guyu did the same, he closed his eyes slightly, but the corners of his lips were slightly moved.

I saw a cold light flash, and suddenly a man in black rushed out of the black shadow that had not yet been illuminated, holding a dagger in his hand, and stabbed straight at him.

Chen Guyu closed his eyes, but his attention was actually fixed on that side. As early as when he came in, he had used the invisible power of the Dao method to probe the inside of the house, and he felt a strong heartbeat. And his behavior just now was actually just a deception to lure the assassin into action.

As the Assassin erupted, he also opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes blazing, and his gaze shot at the man in black like thunder.

I didn't see any movement clearly, I only felt a phantom drifting by, Chen Guyu had already caught the dagger between the thumb and index finger of his left hand, and then kicked it out, kicking the assassin away.

As the sound of popping on the ground sounded, he mocked slightly: "It's too slow!"
