Chapter 7: The Man in Black
The people drove the boat towards the reeds.
On the cargo ship, there are only about three or four thousand catties of salt loaded now, and with the seven of them, it is not heavy. Although the water is shallow, the reeds can still be navigated. Especially after walking for a while, a large dense forest growing in the water appeared in front of me. The dense forest roots were all submerged, and only the top of the tree with no lush leaves remained. After the freighter had been in the middle of it for a while, it saw a large forest with lush foliage even in winter, and in the middle of the woods, there was a small hill!
Under Uncle Lu's excited command, the cargo ship sailed into the back of the mountain bag, there happened to be an open space behind the mountain bag, and the other three sides were covered with this kind of leafy trees, and then cut some branches to block the entrance and exit, and really hid a cargo ship like this.
Hiding the cargo ship, Liu Jing and the others breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, in the past few days, they have been swaggering all the way in this boat, and they are still very uneasy in their hearts. In particular, the two servants of Liufu had just learned to drive a boat from the prodigal, and they were not very sophisticated, and they could not increase the speed of the boat, and along the way, everyone was always worried that someone would catch up.
After hiding the cargo ship, the men cut down a few branches, made a simple raft, and began to row through the jungle towards the shore.
The shore was soon there. The riverbank here is a bit special, and after less than twenty steps of sand, there is a slope that slopes upward. The slope of the hill was quite steep, and it was about twenty or thirty feet high from the beach to the top of the hill, and the people were cutting trees to block the way and making rafts, and they were so exhausted that they could not stand on their feet when they reached the hillside.
Kankan walked to the hillside, and a servant just pointed to the distance and shouted, "Dalang, that seems to be an official road." ”
His voice just fell!
The crowd is still standing!
Suddenly! They were all stiff, Liu Jing, who had already sat softly on the grass, was even more stiff, and the shouting servant also opened his mouth, the whole person seemed to be choked by a pair of invisible hands, and opened his mouth 'ho ho' repeatedly, staring ahead, but he couldn't spit out half a word!
Quiet, it was extremely quiet all around, only a gust of wind blew through the jungle, with moisture and chill hitting everyone, only the overwhelming smell of blood, and corpses everywhere, filled the breath of Liu Jing and others, staining their vision red!
But I saw that under the hillside, there were more than a dozen black-clothed masked people standing all the time, and the swords in the hands of these masked men were still dripping blood. The last masked man had just pulled out the bloody sword from the chest of a middle-aged man dressed as a nobleman, and after stirring up a three-foot-high rain of blood, he allowed the middle-aged man to fall with his eyes open......
On the grass, eight or nine corpses lay crookedly. These corpses, none of them are not gorgeous, none of them are not exquisite, they are all people with great status!
And now, these people with great status have become dead people lying on the ground, and standing beside these dead people are black cloth masked and murderous men in black!
This is clearly a massacre, an assassination that cannot be known to outsiders! The people who were killed had a lot of backgrounds, and the reason why the murderers covered their faces was obviously because they didn't want to be known that they did it!
Such a secret thing, such an ulterior thing, and now, it was hit by Liu Jing and others!
All of a sudden, Liu Jing's face was as white as snow!
When Liu Jing and the others were pale and trembling in horror. All the men in black turned their heads at the same time to look at a black-clothed masked man standing in the middle.
They are watching their leader, waiting for him to give the order!
In their eyes, the black-clothed masked man, holding a bloody sword in his right hand, stepped on a graceful and slow step, like a leopard hunting, slowly walking towards them!
Seeing him approaching, Uncle Lu came to his senses, and he staggered towards Liu Jing, pulling her in front of her. It's just that all his strength seems to have disappeared completely when he made this action. So, when he stood in front of Liu Jing, the whole person was trembling, and the sound of teeth knocking and hitting each other could be heard from a long distance.
Liu Jing also came to her senses. She straightened her back, strode out a few steps, blocked in front of Uncle Lu, and met the black-clothed leader who was slowly coming, elegant and extremely dangerous.
The black-clothed masked man glanced at Liu Jing who was blocking in front of him, swept the bloody sword in his hand, and said lightly and softly in his extremely beautiful voice: "Okay, don't stand stupidly, kill them all!" ”
Kill them all!
He said, "Kill them all!"
Suddenly, plopping and plopping, Liu Jing's kneeling and sobbing sound behind her became one.
Liu Jing was also afraid, she had a pale face, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at the person in front of her in despair, and when she watched his bloody sword slowly pointed at herself, as the blade got closer and closer, her eyes widened in despair.
The red sun is like fire, and Liu Jing, whose pupils are dilated due to intense fear and despair, shows an amazing beauty at this moment.
The masked man in black stared at her, as if he had taken a lot of scrutiny. He raised his wrist, and slowly, the cold blade of the sword hit Liu Jing's throat...... With the slightest touch of the sword, this stunningly beautiful boy of despair would close his moving eyes all night!
What a tyrannical thing!
The man in black smiled lightly, and in Liu Jing's stiff and trembling, the sword blade with a strong smell of blood slowly slid from her Adam's apple to the sliding.
The blade of the sword, cold, dripping with blood sticky to her neck socket, and then, slowly, slashing towards the neck socket, the tightly tied collar......
Jian Feng picked up the placket collar like this, and then, with a slight flick of his wrist, the tightly fastened placket made a gentle cracking sound of clothes: "Z-" With a bang, Liu Jing's thick robe was cut out of a four-inch long gap.
The black-clothed man who was surrounding the servants behind Liu Jing heard the sound of cracking silk and involuntarily stopped. They turned their heads to look at their own leader, and saw his slightly squinted eyes under the scarf, which seemed to be smiling, when they saw his graceful, sword-pointing movements, and when they saw him being pointed at by his cold sword, they were terrified to the extreme, passively tilted their heads, and desperately opened their eyes to wait for the handsome little man who was waiting for the last moment, one by one, the sword in his hand drooped, and at the same time thought: What a surprise, the head is also getting better. Since the boss wants to play with this little white face? Then these servants are not busy killing.
In a silent silence, the sword blade of the black-clothed leader was gently picked up again, and this time, it was Liu Jing's middle coat that was split in half with a bang.
In this world, I am afraid that there is nothing more fearful than waiting for death. Liu Jing's face was snow-white, and she looked at the man desperately, and the big beads of sweat under her forehead were pouring down.
The black-clothed leader stared at Liu Jing, his eyes under the scarf were slightly clouded again, and he seemed to laugh low.
Now, Liu Jing's outer robe and middle clothes have been torn, and only the inner layer of snow yarn inside is wrapped in her crystal skin.
The black-clothed leader didn't seem to be busy killing her, he used the blood-stained blade to move unhurriedly around her jade neck and chin, and wherever the cold blade went, Liu Jing's fine white skin that barely saw pores in the sunlight aroused strings of goosebumps.
Drops of sweat ran down her forehead, down the corners of her eyes, and occasionally a few drops splashed on the blade of the sword, and the blood on the surface of the sword was swept away.
Feeling the blade of the sword unhurriedly around her neck, Liu Jing's lips moved, and in the extreme fear, she vaguely thought of something, but she couldn't remember it at all because her brain was too chaotic.
She could only watch helplessly at the man in black, waiting for his death verdict on her.
At this time, the sword blade of the black-clothed leader moved down again, it slowly moved to Liu Jing's throat, and gently cut it down, "Z", the sound of the cloth breaking sounded again, and Liu Jing's underwear was also cut, revealing her snow-white chest and neck!
The black-clothed leader looked downward, and after staring for a while, he suddenly asked softly, "What is this?" On his slender and round fingertips, a gold chain was rolled up, and under the gold chain was a longevity lock...... This is what Liu Jing has worn since she was a child, and she has never left her body.
When the black-clothed leader lifted her personal ornament, he leaned so close to her, and the breath of breath, the faint masculine breath that spewed out when he spoke, all fell on Liu Jing's neck.
Her lips trembled for a moment, and she shuddered and said, "Yes, it's the longevity lock." ”
"Longevity Lock," the black-clothed leader's voice was particularly gentle, and he said softly, "It's exquisite." Brought from childhood? ”
"Yes......" Liu Jing replied with a knocking sound of teeth.
The black-clothed leader seemed to smile again, he turned the longevity lock, rubbed the pattern on it with his index finger, and said softly, "Your surname is Liu?" Somehow, although this sentence is a question, it is more like an affirmation, and vaguely, it seems to contain some kind of indescribable hatred.
Liu Jingying's lips trembled, "Yes." ”
The longevity lock she was wearing seemed to be of great interest to the black-clothed leader, and after admiring it for a while, he asked softly, "What are you doing in this place?" ”
At this moment, the bloody blade in his hand still slashed through Liu Jing's ears from time to time, and shook her hair from time to time. Liu Jing glanced at the sword blade with a white face, she was extremely frightened, at this time, she only thought that she could escape from this person's hands, where to take care of that little money. At that moment, she said in a trembling voice: "My father is in debt and in prison, I need to get some money to pay off the debt." ”
"How much do you owe?"
"One, fourteen hundred and five hundred taels of gold."
"Oh?" The black-clothed leader asked with interest, "Then how did you get the money?" ”
"I, I intercepted a boatload of salt ......"
"Salt?" The black-clothed leader groaned and continued to ask softly, "Where is the salt?" ”
As soon as he said this, Liu Jing seemed to perk up a little, she bit her lip with a white face, and plucked up the courage to ask, "I told you the place of salt, can you let us go?" She choked up, "We won't see anything, we won't say anything!" ”
Looking at Liu Jing, who had tears streaming down her cheeks, the black-clothed leader smiled slightly, he stared at her coldly, and let out a soft snort from his nose, "Huh? ”
As soon as this voice came out, as soon as this expression was made, a bad breath arose. Liu Jing was originally extremely scared, and when she said that, she had mustered all her courage, but when she was stared at by this person, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly, and two lines of tears couldn't help but flow.
