Chapter Ninety-Six: The True Face of the Three Masters

Pieces of burnt clothes were thrown into the campfire, and finally three human skin masks were also thrown into the fire.

Next to the bonfire, the injured "three masters" on his chest gasped slightly, and he took off his mask to reveal his true appearance, with long eyebrows like knives and a nose like gall, this young man in his twenties, but his frowning eyebrows were full of anger, and he was a ruthless character at first glance.

"Is there a living mouth that escapes?"

Lu Zhao's clothes were wide open, revealing the wound on his chest, and he sat by the bonfire and Meng Xu treated his wound, but he didn't forget to ask another entourage to keep an eye on the Heishui Village under the mountain, just because he said that no one could escape.

"Don't worry, this fire is so fierce, how can anyone escape!"

The Heishui Village at the foot of the mountain was a burned rubble field at this time. After the fire, only the embers and the dark billowing smoke remained, and the mountain breeze blew that even the scorching smell could be smelled on the hillside where they stayed, and some black fly ash drifted from time to time.

"Hiss......", the gold sore medicine sprinkled on the wound and stabbed a heart-piercing pain, Ren is this man who has been crawling on the tip of the knife for many years, it is also unbearable, just because the wound is too deep. Lu Zhaojun's eyebrows were upside down, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his neck to his collarbone, and his chest muscles couldn't help twitching with Meng Xu's action of taking medicine.

"Master, the wound is a little deep, bear with it!"

Meng Xu gave him the medicine while wiping away the sweat for him to prevent the sweat from touching the wound. I saw that on his broad chest, the wound that was picked by the man in the iron mask with a soft sword extended from the left rib to below the right collarbone, the wound was almost a foot long, the skin and flesh were turned out, the blood was blurred, and the wound at the end of the left rib could faintly see the muscles and bones, and the blood continued to flow down the ribs to the waist.

"Fortunately, it didn't hurt my muscles and bones, otherwise I would have explained here today."

Hearing Meng Xu's words, Lu Zhao didn't speak, just clenched his fists because of the pain, and they tightened again and again at this time, and even the sound of joints could be heard.

Since Yun Feiyang was kidnapped and robbed into the cottage, Lu Zhao, Meng Xu and Chen Zhang, who were in charge of the secret attack on him, secretly followed the gang of bandits of "Zhang Feihu" to Heishui Village. and found a secret shelter on the hillside north of Heishui Village, secretly monitoring every move of Heishui Village.

Shangguan's original plan was to bury Xiao Rou by Yun Feiyang, and the three of them would do it, but halfway through the "Black Water Village", Lu Zhao was not easy to act rashly, so he had to secretly monitor, wait and see what happened, and use the Saker to send a letter to Shangguan, waiting for the master's order.

Four days ago, Lu Zhao received Shangguan Qingmiao's cipher text transmission, so he took Meng Xu to sneak attack on the way at night, and prepared to go to the three masters of Heishui Village and his entourage to find joy in Willow Lane, Flower Street, in the city.

Lu Zhao and Meng Xu infiltrated Heishui Village in this way, while Chen Zhang was responsible for passing the book to Lingyun Palace's rudder near Wuzi County, and mobilized two people to guard the mountain with him, first, to monitor Heishui Village, and secondly, to pick up Lu Zhao when he was in need.

During the four days that Lu Zhao and Meng Xu stayed in Heishui Village, they also went to the dungeon where Yun Feiyang was imprisoned once, and seeing that he was already dying, they couldn't help but feel that this mission was really easy, whether Yun Feiyang died of illness in the end, or was killed by "Zhang Feihu", as long as he died, then they would indirectly complete the task.

It's just that the plan can never catch up with the changes, and the ideal can never become a reality.

On the second day after Lu Zhao infiltrated Heishui Village, he learned a shocking news from "Zhang Feihu", that is, the reason why "Zhang Feihu" was able to learn that the Yun family's fleet would appear in the waters of Wuzi County was completely because a person with an iron mask sold the news to him.

What's even worse is that that person actually claimed to be sent by the "Lingyun Palace"!

Lingyun Palace never sells news to mountain bandits and bandits, and acts as a tiger. As far as Lu Zhao knows, even if he has sold this kind of news, the targets of betrayal are also some corrupt officials, profiteers and bullies, not to mention that there is no need for his master to send two groups of people to intercept and kill the same person! There must be something strange about this!

But no matter how he talked, "Zhang Feihu" couldn't tell the ins and outs of the "man in the iron mask", and he hadn't heard the real "three masters" mention it to himself, so Lu Zhao couldn't get more information, only knew that the man was wearing a half-cut silver and iron mask, and he insisted that he was from Lingyun Palace.

So the task that was originally regarded as an easy and smooth task by Lu Zhao was reversed from the fact that they came back from buying fire oil this afternoon-

"Third child, where is the oil unloaded?"

Just as Lu Zhao arranged for someone to unload the hot oil he had just bought, the big boss and the second boss of Heishui Village rushed to the backyard one after the other.

"It's all here, big brother."

Today's errand to buy fire oil was taken over by Lu Zhao, because he had already made some arrangements in his heart.

"Hmm...... The backyard is where the brothers live, so is it appropriate to drop it off here? ”

Zhang Feihu glanced at the rows of thatched houses in front of him as he spoke.

"Big brother, this place is backed by the mountain wall, there is still some distance from the brothers' residence, and there is no stove room here, far away from the open fire, it should be fine."

Lu Zhao imitated the appearance of the three masters in a similar way.

"Well, big brother, I don't think it's okay. You see, there are two large water tanks next to the thatched toilet next to it, and even if there is a fire, it can be extinguished in time, so there should be no problem. ”

The thin man who used to count the silver in the house with "Zhang Feihu" was the second boss of Heishui Village, and he also felt that there was nothing wrong with putting fire oil in the backyard.

In fact, there is no place to live at the end of the backyard, only two latrines, two water tanks for washing hands, and the remaining three rooms are in the open space except for the sundries piled on the ground, there is nothing valuable for the guys.

"Big brother, in fact, in my opinion, we can leave as soon as we go, so why do we have to burn this village?"
