Chapter 263: The Man in Black
In this way, the other party came prepared, not for money, but to put them to death. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Since we came with us, we must have been targeted when Xuanyang was over." Tang Guxi pondered for a moment, "They were hired to kill us, but instead of attacking head-on, they used the trick of placing poisonous scorpions...... Why? Obviously, we are weak, and for a few strong men, it is not a problem for us to die, so why use yin tricks? ”
Lin Xun took a deep breath and seemed to be unable to figure it out.
At this time, the third watch had passed, and although it was late at night, the three of them had no sleep.
"Sister Guxi, you just said it...... They don't attack head-on," Ling'er turned to look at her, tears drying on her face, "that must be because they don't want to confront us head-on, will it...... The other party knew that Brother Lin Xun and you would do martial arts, so he didn't dare to act rashly, lest the assassination would fail...... Anti-wounded? Isn't it a failure? ”
Ling'er's words made Lin Xun and Tang Guxi unexpected, and the two of them listened carefully, and they only felt a little reasonable.
Yes, there are many people on the other side, and it is not a problem to kill the three of them, since they are unwilling to meet them head-on, they must know that some of them are extraordinary.
According to this, the other party's skills ...... It's not very good, otherwise it wouldn't be so forward-looking.
Tang Guxi thought of the person's outfit, which felt familiar at first glance, but was interrupted by Lin Xun. Thinking about it at this moment, I have indeed seen it before, but I can't think of where I have seen it?
In the palace? Who will kill them?
Or outside the palace?
"Poisonous scorpion ......" Tang Guxi muttered, his brows furrowed, and he suddenly raised his head, "Could it be...... Umezuki Division? ”
Mei Yuesi has always been refining medicine and making poison, and the poisonous scorpion is a harmful thing, and now, only Mei Yuesi has a grudge against them...... If it weren't for the three of them going to Qiao Jiang, Hua Ning would not have been investigated clearly, let alone forced back to Qiao Jiang, even though Mei Yuesi was just an empty courtyard, it was difficult to say that there were no Hua Ning's henchmen.
Lin Xun also thought of this, but felt that this matter might not be so simple.
"Anyway, they want us to die!" Tang Guxi said hatefully, slapped one hand on the table, and made a dull sound, "Tomorrow morning, the three of us are still safe and sound, I'm afraid they are going to be in a hurry." Instead of worrying about the rest of the road, let's plan ahead! ”
Lin Xun glanced at the closed doors and windows and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"It's not easy." Tang Guxi suddenly relaxed, looked at him and smiled, "Since they are unwilling to meet them head-on, then we will send them to the door!" Anyway, either he dies or I die, why do you want us to make fish? ”
Lin Xun didn't speak, but looked away and sighed lightly.
Tang Guxi was very surprised when he saw him like this, if it was usual, Lin Xun was not a person who cowered, and at this moment, I was afraid that he would have to do it before her. Now so cautious, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"Lin Xun," she stood up, "what do you mean?" Are we just waiting to die? The scorpion is still in bed! She stretched out her arm and pointed to the bed.
Ling'er couldn't help but look at the bed, and shivered again.
"Can you be quieter?" Lin Xun stood up with a suppressed voice and glanced out of the door again, "You know, the most important thing now is that we arrive in Xizhou as soon as possible, with Yuxi and Ling'er." If we make a fuss here tonight, do you think we'll be able to leave tomorrow morning? Even if they do, how can they guarantee that their people will not catch up again? ”
"So what do you want!"
"Let's go now!"
Tang Guxi was stunned, what did Lin Xun mean was to let them go of those people and sneak away? Leaving in such an unexplained way is tantamount to being a deserter.
"I'm not leaving!" She turned away, stubborn.
Lin Xun took a deep breath, stared at her face, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't go, you have to go!" So saying, he went to get their parcels, still holding the bell in one hand.
Ling'er didn't know how to leave or right, and looked at Tang Guxi with a bitter face, "Sister Guxi, why don't you ...... Or let's go......"
Tang Guxi gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Xun, his chest fell together, and he grabbed the sword on the table and was about to walk out.
When Lin Xun saw her holding a sword, he immediately became anxious and rushed up to stop her. But before he could catch her in time, Tang Guxi had already opened the door and stepped out.
However, the moment she turned around, she stopped, her body stiff and still.
Lin Xun stepped out of the door, grabbed her arm, and was about to scold angrily, but when he saw the expression on her face, he felt uneasy in his heart, stayed for a moment, and looked at her gaze.
I saw that in the dark corridor, a few feet away from them, stood five or six masked men in black, each of whom stood across, blocking the narrow aisle, holding a short knife in his hand. Above the cover on his face, a pair of hideous and cold eyes were revealed, glowing in the dark, staring directly at the two people in front of him.
Seeing Tang Guxi and Lin Xun coming out, they were not in a hurry, and still stood here without making any sound.
"Now, if you want to go, you can't go......" Lin Xun raised his eyebrows, sighed lightly, whispered in her ear, and then turned around and faced the five people in front of him, his expression was calm, but the corner of his eye signaled to the bell in the house.
Ling'er stood inside the threshold, although she didn't see what was happening outside, but looking at the expressions of the two people, she also knew that something was wrong outside the door. Her frightened eyes were open, but her face was surprisingly calm, and she stepped back as she approached the counter by the wall.
Tang Guxi looked directly at the other party, clenched the sword in his hand, took a deep breath, and tried his best to make his voice sound normal: "Who are you, who are you ordered to come, why do you want to harm us?" ”
The man standing at the front folded his hands in front of his chest, revealing the short tip of his knife in the crook of his arm, and snorted at the question, not knowing whether to laugh or be angry, a gloomy voice came from his mouth.
"Don't struggle anymore, you two, we are entrusted with loyalty, and you will not survive tonight. Since the scorpion is not used, then we have to force it. ”
It seems that the victory is in hand, and the confidence is assured.
"Hmph, what I'm waiting for is that you come hard!" Hearing Lin Xun sneer, he caught the sword that Ling'er threw out of the room, and while shaking his hand, he pulled out the scabbard with the other hand.
Seeing this, Tang Guxi immediately reacted, immediately pulled out the sword in his hand, and pointed forward with a "whoosh". The cold light from the two swords seemed to be particularly dazzling in the dark night.
The two of them turned sideways slightly, standing side by side, their eyes looking forward sharply, like the long sword stabbed out in their hands, cold and gloomy.
"Tang Guxi, are you okay?"
"Lin Xun, don't underestimate people."
Seeing this, the five people on the opposite side were wrapped in a layer of cold anger, and they only heard a muffled voice: "Give it to me!" The five of them showed their short swords at the same time and rushed forward.
Although the sword was a short sword, it was actually not short, and there was a curved hook at the tip. It stands to reason that five people are two people, and several of them should be full of confidence, but they are not stupid, they know that the man and woman in front of them are not good stubble, otherwise the deadly scorpion will not poison these two people, so they have a heart of guilt and do not relax.
The outside is full of swords and swords, and the bell inside slams the wooden door shut, and after inserting the door, he leans his back against the door and blocks it fiercely. She knew that the only thing she could do to help Sister Guxi and Brother Lin Xun at the moment was to protect herself. (To be continued.) )
