(914) The Verge
- These two guards knew what Iron Maniad had been bored with recently, and they also learned something from the Wuwei on the other side of the courtyard, and in recent days, Iron Maniac did show signs of being mentally close to madness, so these two people roughly believed what Iron Maniac said, and did not say much to remind him to go back to the small courtyard quickly. However, the two guards were still attentive to a certain aspect of the matter, and when they took their leave, one of them gave the swordsmith a look, and the meaning was not difficult to see, that is, he was told to be cautious in his words.
Seeing this, the sword-forging apprentice hurriedly nodded his head to indicate that he understood.
However, not only did the swordsmith apprentice understand the eyes of the guards of the Commander's Mansion, but he had "lived" in this Kyoto Supreme Anbu High Mansion, which was no less spacious than Kyoto Prefecture, for more than ten years, and he himself knew a lot about some details of the words and deeds of these guards.
So before the two guards left, Iron Maniac was thinking that the junior apprentice should know a lot about this morning, and as soon as the two guards turned around and left the house, Iron Maniac was wondering, do you need to know something from the junior apprentice?
Watching the two guards stride away with the cart carrying the corpse, out of the small courtyard where the furnace room was located, Iron Maniac turned his face to look at the swordsmith apprentice, and a little hesitation slipped in his eyes.
The sword-forging apprentice and the iron madness only glanced at each other, and quickly understood, but they waved their hands again and again and said: "No, no, no, master, since the Commander's Mansion has spoken, the junior must be tight-lipped about this matter." ”
Tie Mad laughed and said, "Is there anything to 'keep your mouth shut' about this? The whole thing is just a 'kill' word, but this morning's killing was too heavy, and I couldn't bear to look at it. ”
After a little pause, he drained the bowl of the pale pink hot soup in one gulp, exhaled comfortably, and when he put down the bowl, his words turned very quickly: "I have been in the Commander's Mansion for more than ten years. Strange to say, every morning this soup has to be spread from the big kitchen to the whole house, but I have rarely heard of anyone who is tired of eating it. When I think about it, I may not be able to eat it in the future. I can't help but feel a little reluctant. ”
The food structure of the Commander's Mansion is not as complex and rich in meaning as the imperial banquet, and it is only ten meals with reasonable combinations and reasonable portions that add up to ten servings. Half a month turns around, but all the officials who have come to the Commander's Mansion for a banquet should not praise the chef of the Commander's Mansion. It's not that the officials on the side will say this in order to flatter the commander, most people evaluate it like this, and their words are sincere. There were also several ministers who had participated in the imperial banquet, and they used their tongues to prove the skill of the chef of the Commander's Mansion to hold a shovel.
There is also a very credible theory that the emperor would often come to this palace to discuss some matters with his most trusted and important brother. That's why the royal cooks in the palace will assign a few people to stay in the Commander's Mansion to take care of His Majesty's food tastes. But there is obviously a loophole in this rumor, saying that it is for His Majesty that the imperial chef will be placed like this, but in fact, the big kitchen is tinkering with these delicacies every day, and it has never been broken, and it seems that those imperial chefs have decisively become the fire of the Commander's Mansion, and it seems that their status has been devalued.
In any case, the Commander's Mansion can have the strength that it is now strong from the inside out, and the Commander-in-Chief can have the privilege of life and death that can surpass the Kyoto Prefecture, even if it is only observed and thought about from the small details of the Domain. can get answers. The open and unobstructed sky above the Commander's Mansion was held up by the Venerable One who lived in the palace, and the Commander's Mansion was also a sharp blade in the hands of that Venerable. It seems to be against the norm to accomplish something special from time to time, but it is actually within the rules.
From a certain point of view, it is likely that the attitude of the Consul House represents the attitude of His Majesty. Regarding this matter, since the Commander's Mansion is obviously determined to keep a low profile and be subtle, then he will not ask too much. In the more than ten years since the change of dynasty, the whole country has been peaceful, and so has the imperial capital, which indirectly proves that many of the decisions of the Venerable Venerable who sat calmly in the main hall of the palace are in line with the way of holding the country. Some small means are cruel, but in short, they are dealing with a group of cruel murderers. There's not much to say about that.
In the moment of drinking the soup in the dry bowl, Tie thought about some questions that he had rarely thought about for more than ten years.
Maybe it was because he was about to leave this closed but relatively peaceful mansion. It is necessary to return to the world and live an ordinary but complicated life, so that some emotional warm-ups will be carried out for the days to be lived. The Iron Maniac quickly chose to swallow the doubts about the Commander's Mansion in his heart along with the warm and delicious big bone red lotus root soup, and when he put down the empty bowl, he had actually put aside the doubts that he had intended to ask from the cast iron apprentice.
……
After a busy morning, when the sun was getting hot, the courtyard of the Commander's Palace, which was rarely opened and used, had been cleaned up in the early morning. After the last body was moved to the cart by the palace guards, the two leaders in charge of the cleanup gathered their tools, stood up straight and walked out of the courtyard.
To be precise, these two tired faces are not the coroners staffed by the government. If any county government wants to hire these two people, I am afraid that not only will they not be able to pay the bride price, but they will even be a little unqualified.
However, the Commander's Mansion has this qualification, but it is not because the Mansion has paid a lot of money, nor is it because the Commander-in-Chief has made the Emperor call for it, but because the group to which these two people belong is a tacit relationship between the Lord and the Commander.
As early as a month ago, the first and second groups that had been quietly stationed in the Qingchuan territory suddenly began to communicate with Kyoto, and they came and went quite frequently, just because the battle of the conquest of Sichuan was about to start, and the information collected by all parties and the armaments, food, and grass soldiers of various departments had to start their activities and merge. As for why the two leaders of the first and second groups left their garrisons in Qingchuan today and came to Kyoto, which is thousands of miles away, the reason should only be a small episode before the start of the battle.
In the lounge prepared by the Commander's Mansion for these two visitors from afar, the two team leaders who were dressed in thick linen clothes and dressed as pretences took off their coats, slightly relaxed and tensed their spirits for a morning, and took up the hot tea on the table to moisten their bitter tongues.
After putting down the celadon cup, Luo Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, Luo Qing looked sideways at the woman in black who was sitting beside him, noticed that her face was a little pale, and there was worry in his eyes, and he asked softly, "Are you tired?" Would you like to take a break? I can do the rest alone. ”
Luo Qing's worries are not all because of his love and pity for the woman next to him, but because of the truth.
In the past three years, because of the different division of labor, as well as the change of some matters. The two groups, which were previously more idle, suddenly became very busy. The woman in black, Liu Sheng, as the leader of the second group, is often nervous, and has been busy for so many years. Now I can't help but be a little physically and mentally exhausted. On the contrary, one group suddenly got up with some idleness. Except for him, the team leader, who can often deal with several potions, and the rest of the group members are usually on standby most of the time.
Since thirteen years ago, the two groups of members moved from Kyoto to the Qingchuan territory with Lin Shan, and secretly stayed in a local town, and the activities of the two groups of members have been very close to each other. There is a good location. In the days when the second group was busy and crazy but was idle every day, one group also wanted to help the second group share some work, but the reason why the tasks undertaken by the two groups in the first place were divided into two sections and kept an independent sequence was not for nothing.
There are indeed a few people with terrible brains in the first group, but there are still many jobs in the second group that they are not capable of, and they can only live in the neighborhood but can only watch. However, such a division of tasks does not mean that there is absolutely no possibility of cooperation between the two groups, and there are still opportunities for cooperation, but they are more inclined to indoor technical operations.
The woman in black, Liu Sheng, slowly drank half a cup of hot tea into her stomach. The thirsty and somewhat hungry stomach was warmed and ironed, and the tiredness stored in the body came to mind, and the bitter old tea soup that could have refreshed the heart was turned into a hypnotic soup.
However, in the face of the man next to him, he was softly concerned. Noticing that his face was also full of tiredness, and there were a few strands of hair that had always been neatly combed and hanging loosely on his forehead, Liu Sheng suddenly forgot his tiredness, reached out and touched his fingertips lightly, stroked his forehead, shook his head slightly, and said: "I'm fine, but you, lying in the pile of corpses all morning, that taste is not good." Would you like to take a break? ”
After resting in the hall for a while, Luo Qing and Liu Sheng began to work on the second step of today's inspection work. The reason why they are different from ordinary things. That's where the difference comes in. However, after taking more than an hour to complete the second step of inspection, the faces of the two were even more tired. The conclusion reached, however, was no different from that of ordinary officials.
Didn't find it.
It took a whole morning to almost exhaust his spiritual cohesion, but in the end it was such an almost dispensable result, it seems that Luo Qing and Liu Sheng came to Kyoto thousands of miles away, and it seems that they have found a thankless errand for themselves, and all the hard work has not been rewarded.
Faced with this result, the two of them were also in a somewhat complicated mood for a while, but they were not because they did not seek merit, but because this result made them feel at ease first, and at the same time, they soon felt strange again.
After resting for a while, Luo Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up and walked to the long table again. On the table, there are all kinds of murderous weapons, each of which has a different style, and there are more than 30 kinds of categories. However, if you look closely, you can find that the quality of these sharp objects is similar to that of many similar styles, and it is likely that they were the work of a master.
These murder weapons were all collected from the corpses of those assassins after the bloody case in Wolf's Tooth City last night, and the assassins usually operate in different places, and their martial arts and weapons are also different, so they are not subject to the government's control, and they only suddenly assemble on the eve of the incident. However, at this moment, Luo Qing inspected these coolers that had been cleaned, and found that their texture was close to the kitchen knives and axes mass-produced by the iron shop, and there were abrupt places here that could not be ignored.
When a person's martial arts practice reaches a certain height, he will inevitably have a weapon that is used frequently, such as people who sleep and recognize the bed, and fry the dishes and the pot. These assassins were not collectively trained soldiers, they generally had their own personalities and styles, otherwise they would not have been able to detect their whereabouts before the incident, so what was the force that made this group of people change their weapons at the moment before they were ready to move?
If a person uses the same thing for a long time, he can leave traces of personality on that thing. Judging from the changes in the fact that this weapon has been replaced by a unified manner, the ability of the person behind the scenes should be extremely strong, and this person is meticulous and has the ability to counter-investigate, and before the matter is ready to start, he has already cut off a trace of traceability.
It's not the first time that something like that happened last night in Dijing, but judging the origin of the perpetrator according to the murder weapon is the first task Luo Qing and Liu Sheng have faced, but they didn't expect that the two of them just started here, and they felt that the situation was quite tricky.
It seems that it is not only the big boss behind the scenes who bought the murder that did not want to leave a way back between the incidents. Even these Assassins came with this mentality. Luo Qing picked up a long knife on the table that had been cut in two, and repeatedly observed the broken wound several times, and finally put it down with a sigh. Why not do something else with this outlaw intention? ”
"If they could think like you do, they wouldn't be able to use the wrong energy." Yanagi crouched by the gate. was holding a gun and pestle to the two pieces of linen clothes burning in the brazier, and when she heard Luo Qing's words, she responded very casually, but it was not unreasonable.
The two sets of linen clothes were worn by the two of them during the autopsy just now, and they were stained with blood and had to be cleaned up as much as possible. Probably due to Mai's blood staining and dampness, Yanagi opened his mouth to speak as he burned his clothes. I didn't pay attention to choking and coughed repeatedly.
Hearing Liu Sheng's cough, Luo Qing's attention was completely removed from the pile of cold things on the table.
Walking to the woman in black who was squatting next to the brazier and coughing on her back, and helped her up, Luo Qing glanced at the clothes in the basin that were more smoke and less burning, hesitated for a moment, and then reached into his arms, took out a pill and threw it into the basin accurately. Suddenly, I heard a "poof", and the weak fire in the basin rose at a seemingly evil speed, almost rushing up to the beams of the house, but soon it was like water pouring down from the air. Fell back into the basin and never picked up.
In a very short period of time, the two non-flammable wet linen clothes in the basin had turned into a thin layer of ash.
Yanagi saw the brazier change dramatically after encountering the ball. Rao is that she usually interacts with Luo Qing, and has seen a lot of weird gadgets he tinkers with, but she can't help but be stunned at this moment.
Soon she turned her head to look at Luo Qing, only to find that there was also a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"This ......," Yanagi said in a lost voice, "when did you make this?" It's so powerful, and I haven't seen you use it before. ”
Luo Qing was silent for a moment before muttering: "Not long after the finished product, there are still places that are not stable in technology, so I haven't used it much." ”
Liu Sheng grabbed his hand with a slight force, and said worriedly: "I don't blame you for hiding from me, it's just that you carry such a powerful thing close to you." What if I hurt myself? ”
"If you don't touch the fire, you don't have to do anything." Although I said this verbally, I remembered the change in the fire in the brazier just now. Luo Qing still had a trace of fear in his heart. It's just the size of a bean, and it's as powerful. If the dosage of the formulation is increased to the standard that was designed at the beginning of the development, then the ......
As soon as Luo Qing's thoughts reached this point, he suddenly heard Liu Sheng ask, "Aren't those balls you gave to Master Li in the morning very good?" Why do you want to continue to increase the effect and make something so dangerous? ”
Liu Sheng's question made Luo Qing's heart, which had just been a little shaken, suddenly become firm again, because he remembered what someone had told him at the beginning of the development of the thing he used just now.
After thinking for a while, Luo Qing didn't intend to hide it from Liu Sheng anymore, and said softly: "This is...... Big brother's decision. ”
……
Kyoto, Kita-cheng District Song House.
After Bai Tao separated from Mo Ye, she did not summon people to go out to find Xiaocao as she said. After she was out of Mo Ye's line of sight, she quickly turned and entered another secluded house. She knows very well that this room is full of miscellaneous items that are not commonly used, and few people come to take care of them, so it has naturally become a good place to avoid the attention of others and meet "close friends".
Closing the door with his backhand, Bai Tao saw a masked man in the slightly dim utility room. Unlike the nocturnal walker who walks on the cornice, this man is not dressed in black, his dress is generally seen in the streets, and his face is not covered with black cloth, but a pale blue silk cloth with small blue flowers, somewhat like the headscarf wrapped around the head of a girl selling eggs.
Bai Tao has long been accustomed to the flickering of this person's whereabouts. It took her half a year to complete the mapping of the Song House, and it took her half a year to complete the painting and hand it over, including how many wells there are in the house, where are the locations, and the role of each single courtyard and special case notes, which have not been missed in her pen. As early as when she opened the door and came in, Bai Tao had already expected that she would see this old acquaintance in this room. If she only saw a room full of miscellaneous items at this time, she would have thought it strange.
There were a few rays of light cast down from the skylight, and the light was full of floating dust particles, but it was such an obscure light, still enough to illuminate the smooth and white forehead of the masked man, with eyebrows like willow leaves, eyes closed for half a moon, and it was a woman.
The conversation between Bai Tao and the masked woman just now was not over, so she continued here.
"The girl who suddenly came just now is Mo Ye?" When the masked woman saw the white peach again. The first sentence is very straightforward.
Bai Tao nodded, but she was a little confused about the purpose of her sudden question.
The masked woman said lightly: "It seems that you made a mistake in choosing the meeting time this time, and she shouldn't be in the house at this time." ”
Bai Tao hurriedly explained: "Today she still has to go out to deliver the post." According to her habits in the previous two days, she shouldn't have come back so soon. There are a few things that happen in a long day, and it's hard for me to grasp them all. After a little hesitation, she said again: "...... However, you came half an hour later than expected, what's going on? ”
Thinking of the reason why she was delayed for half an hour on the way here, the masked woman's heart moved slightly, but she was covered with her face. So from the perspective of others, her expression still tends to be calm.
It was also indirectly reminded by Bai Tao that the masked woman realized that she couldn't stay outside for a long time, she didn't mention the reason to Bai Tao, but directly picked up the topic that was interrupted by Mo Ye's sudden arrival just now, and said in a deep voice: "You have to remember what I said to you just now." As for what you just asked, why you don't have to ask why you still have to keep the plan when I'm here? Of course, this was carefully considered by the master. ”
Bai Tao lowered his eyes and replied in a deep voice.
"It's over for now, and I should go back." The masked woman said as she walked away. When she reached the door, she said, "For a few days after that, don't hand the pigeons out, but just pick up the pigeons that come in." Maybe the next time we meet, things won't have to be as troublesome as they were in those days before that. ”
Bai Tao raised his gaze, and a hint of brightness slipped in his eyes.
She is tired of drawing too many circles and dots on life like this, and she must step accurately at every step. She wanted to end it quickly, so she had just learned from the masked woman that her plans had changed. Her emotions will rarely get out of control.
It's just to erase the traces of a person's past in this world, and of course the sooner this kind of thing is done, the better. Because the longer a person lives in this world, the more traces he will leave behind. The master in the palace should understand this reason.
And when this person who must disappear disappears disappears, only traces of her white peach will be left on the canvas of Song Zhai.
There was a small throbbing in Bai Tao's heart, like a dragonfly pausing for a moment on the calm surface of the lake, and the needle-like whiskers drew a slight and almost indistinguishable water pattern, and instantly returned to calm.
Seeing the masked woman's hand pressed on the edge of the wooden door, ready to open the door, Bai Tao suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly called: "Wait......"
The masked woman's action of opening the door stopped in place, but she glanced back at Bai Tao sideways, her eyes revealing doubts.
Bai Tao pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "There seems to be something wrong with Xiaocao." The matter between her and Yang Chen should have been very simple and smooth. But she has been arguing with her frequently recently, and almost every time she is unreasonable, and it is suspected that she deliberately wants to postpone the marriage. The first few times I intervened, outsiders didn't know the details, thinking that she was just a little noisy, but this time, she ran into Mo Ye, and I am afraid I can't stop this matter. ”
"What is she doing at this juncture?" The masked woman frowned, "If her wedding date changes, the whole of the master's plan will change with her, what does she want to do?" ”
Bai Tao hesitated and said, "Maybe we've been ignoring something, maybe ...... She really had a liking for that man. ”
This inference of Bai Tao was quickly agreed by the masked woman. After all, Xiaocao's age is placed there, and at her age when emotions are easy to throb, using her to make a beauty trick is originally an easy thing to regurgitate and easy to lose money.
However, the attitude of the master in the palace towards this person is not so precious, and it is not a loss.
The masked woman was obviously the master's close person, and she knew her master's mind very well, and quickly conveyed this meaning to Bai Tao. She was silent for only a moment, and then said lightly: "You can see her when you have time and ask her about the matter." If she doesn't want to continue to do it, how to deal with it, you can take care of it yourself, don't delay the master's big things. ”
After Bai Tao thought about it, she finally couldn't help but ask more: "If she really doesn't want to do it, is there really no problem if she misses this link?" ”
"Leaving a renegade of her, than missing this link, which situation do you think will cause the consequences more severely?" The masked woman asked rhetorically. Seeing that Bai Tao didn't answer, she was silent for a moment and then said, "I will inform the master of this matter, but your side still has to accept the flying pigeons." And don't throw it out, keep that in mind. ”
The masked woman said this a second time. Bai Tao's suspicion that she was half an hour late today deepened, and she also asked a question she had asked again before: "You were half an hour late today, did something happen?" ”
"This is my business......" The masked woman's words came to an abrupt end at this point, she had pushed the door out, and several of them climbed a courtyard wall, turned over and disappeared into the wall.
Although her words were only half spoken, in Bai Tao's opinion, it was enough to explain a problem. She did run into trouble on the way here. And this incident is the symptom of indirectly leading to the fact that he can no longer deliver messages to the outside world.
Walking out of the utility room slowly, Bai Tao raised her sleeves and dusted off a trace of spider silk accidentally hanging on her left shoulder, looking at the wall where the masked woman left, her eyes rose and fell.
The masked woman did cause some trouble, but what shocked her when she remembered it again and again was that she was only passively aware of this trouble today. On the way to Song Mansion today, she spent half an hour in order to get rid of the shadow that followed her.
Leaving the Song Mansion at this moment, she was thinking in her heart that she would go back to the palace to see her master later. How should I explain it? But at this moment, she was horrified to find that the shadow was still there. The Shadow Man didn't seem to be thrown off by her halfway. Instead, when he was close to the location of the Song Mansion, he deliberately relaxed the tracking.
As a last resort, the masked woman had to activate emergency preparedness.
Deliberately leading the shadow man into a dark alleyway obscured by light, the masked woman found a position that was easy to leave, and then suddenly turned around, looked at the empty wet ground behind her just now, directly opposite at the moment, and said in a cold voice: "You have followed me for so long, and you are not tired?" ”
A gray shadow slid down the exterior wall of the house, which was almost black because of the dampness. This is the shadow of following the masked woman all the way, and he is actually a living person.
The man had hair that was almost the same as withered grass. Tightly tied with a cloth strap at the back of the head, it is still neatly knotted. But on his forehead. There are still a few strands of "dead grass" that seem to be unable to tie up, and they hang down to cover half of their face. And on this half of the face, it seems to be tightly clasped with half a mask...... It doesn't look like a mask.
In any case, the shadow man was not masked when he met the masked woman's eyes.
Seeing this, the masked woman quickly realized a problem, and her thin willow eyebrows frowned slightly.
Wu Shu showed his carefully hidden tracks all the way, showing his face in front of the masked woman, although he was clearly aware at this moment that there were no less than six people standing in a circle within ten steps of the surrounding area, and he was caught in the encirclement of the other party's forces, but there was still no trace of fear on his face, and he was very calm. Some expressions of affection seem to be engraved on his face like stone sculptures.
He didn't want to retreat, trying to stay out of the circle's attack range, but shortly after his feet hit the ground, he took three more steps closer to the masked woman.
His gaze stayed on the eyebrows and eyes of the masked woman, if a person covered his mouth, nose and cheeks, for ordinary people, the place where his memory could be identified was almost half obscured, but for him who had received four sets of special training, to remember a person and identify this person in the alternate environmental identity, it was enough to remember the distance between her hairline, eyebrows, and the beginning of the root of her nose and Yin Tang.
If she can't be taken today, she will still be unable to escape after today.
The only thing that surprised Wu Shu was that he didn't expect this person to have so many helpers with him at any time outside. If she makes a tough move, will those helpers of her be afraid to stop, or will they completely ignore the jade and burn it?
In order to preserve the body, any branch can be broken, and this happened not only from the affairs of others, but also more than once in the four groups of field groups he was in. Thinking of this, his intention to make a move hesitated for a moment.
Looking at the gray-clothed man with a strange face in front of him, and seeing him take a few steps closer to him, the woman with a face covered with a broken blue cloth couldn't help but feel a little afraid, and her feet stood still with some signs of trembling.
Fortunately, the man in gray only walked three steps and stopped, and the masked woman also calmed down, and said lightly: "Why are you following me?" ”
Wu Shu also said lightly: "I recognized the wrong person." ”
But he has been following him here, and it doesn't seem to be as simple as admitting his mistake and then clapping his hands and leaving.
The masked woman sneered. said, "Who do you think I am?" ”
Wu Shu's voice also seemed to have a cool smile, and he replied, "You take off the cloth on your face, and I can answer." ”
The masked woman raised her hand. Stretching out a slender index finger and a middle finger, he gently stroked the edge of the cloth on his face. But she didn't want to take it off, but in this playful gesture to match her somewhat mocking tone, she said quietly: "If you can take off the mask on your face, I can take off this piece of cloth on my face." ”
A sneer on Wu Shu's face gradually sank, and he said in a deep voice with some sandy texture: "Then I may die." ”
The word "death" had just dropped the syllable, and the masked woman's soft tone suddenly changed, and she screamed: "Then you will die!" ”
She said this, but no one came close. Instead, it's going backwards. But Wu Shu understood her intentions, and in the gap between the few words just now, the people who came over from the outside of a dozen steps were already close at hand, and four people had already crossed the wall, blocking his way and retreat in front and back.
The four people who had already revealed their whereabouts also covered their faces with black cloths, but Wu Shu did not intend to treat these four people with the same measures as the masked woman, the value of capturing these four people alive was far less cost-effective than capturing the masked woman alive, and it was too laborious.
If his test is correct, most of the masked men who came after this are dead soldiers whose back roads have been cut off more completely, and the results of capturing them alive are basically the same as dragging the corpses back to the group. They may also be alone people who have nothing to live for. No one cares about their life or death, and there is a good chance that they have a denture in their mouth, before they can act. The plug is filled with venom.
In the face of the siege of so many people, Wu Shu already had a bottom in his heart, and it may be inevitable that he will have to leave a few small cuts on his body today. But just a few drops of blood didn't matter much to him.
What he is most concerned about now is whether the narrow knives in the hands of these people have also been quenched with poison.
Because paying attention to the situation on the Song Mansion's side was something that the Lord Commander had specially explained to be carried out secretly, he never brought a helper whenever he came here. The four groups of the Beijing Department are about to be put in charge by him, but none of his subordinates have yet to know about the affairs of the Song Mansion.
Except for one person being an exception.
"It's so slow to go out and buy lunch. You're actually a worry-free guy too. ”
Cheng Xu suddenly appeared at the top of the wall, as if he had arrived with these masked men. But the words he opened made the four masked people surrounding Wu Shu slightly startled-his appearance was also an unexpected incident for these four people-and while everyone was distracted, Cheng Xu slipped and fell from the wall. Stand behind Wu Shu.
The backs of the two men were pressed together, forming a humanoid fortress with few empty doors in the narrower alleyways.
Wu Shu smelled a trace of blood from Cheng Xu, who was close behind, and soon he also felt that the few people who were still on the periphery of the alley had stopped moving, and he couldn't help asking, "All the people outside are dead?" ”
Cheng Xu was noncommittal, but said indifferently: "Hurry up, it's almost time to make dinner, if you let the people next door come back and see that their yard is bloody, the impact will be too bad." ”
There was a sense of urging in Cheng Xu's words, but after listening to his words, Wu Shu still looked calm, and he didn't mean to do anything, so he only asked the person behind him: "You came a little early, why didn't you intercept the person who left just now?" ”
Cheng Xu seemed to think about this question for a while, and then asked rhetorically: "You said that the person with a rag on his face?" ”
Wu Shu was stunned and said: "It's a blue cloth, it's a little better than a rag." ”
Cheng Xu only picked the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and did not continue the topic, and then the expression on his face gradually became stricter, and he said coldly: "Strictly speaking, I am not your subordinate yet. I only do what I'm good at, and you can't control it. ”
Wu Shu did not answer him.
The next moment, he rushed out.
Cheng Xu rushed out almost at the same time.
Two arrow-like figures, starting from one point, stabbed out in two diametrically opposite directions, sliding out of two colors - the phantoms of their different colors of clothing under the excessive speed of movement.
When Cheng Xu rushed into the shadow of the knife raised by the two masked men opposite, he suddenly stretched out his right hand with a straight stab. His right hand was pitch black, and before the two masked men could see what was going on with the pitch-black hand, one of them felt as if the narrow knife in his hand was stuck in the iron tongs, and he couldn't move at all. When the masked man looked at it, he saw that the blade of the narrow knife was actually held barehand by the black charcoal-like hand of the person in front of him! ――
(To be continued)
