Volume 1 Sunrise in the East and Setting in the West Chapter 64 Something is over, and the clothes are gone
The Assassin snatched his way through the back door of the Escape, like a lone wolf running in the darkness of the night, and ran out of the streets in one fell swoop, into a small dark alley, and then stopped.
Breathing heavily, the Assassin gripped the fish-shaped dagger in his hand, trying to calm himself.
The assassin was naturally Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao followed Mencius to the Retreat, and saw that Mencius Mo climbed into the Retreat from the back wall, his actions were very secretive, and he was really puzzled in his heart, just wanting to see what Mencius Mo's intention was.
Mencius Mo dressed up like this and entered the free house, of course, it could not be for fun.
He knew that Meng Zimo must have a purpose in sneaking into the Easy House, and followed him into the Easy House, in addition to wanting to see what Meng Zimo was going to do, the most important thing was that once Meng Zimo needed help, he could help.
With the help of his little aunt, he has broken through to the second grade, although it is not worth it in the eyes of martial arts masters, but compared to ordinary people, he is already quite capable.
When he climbed over the wall and entered the hospital, if it was in the past, the courtyard wall of Xiaoyaoju really took some effort, but this time he just jumped up violently, and then reached out to the wall, and then carried his hand to the arm, and the whole person climbed over the wall quite easily, condescending to see Meng Zimo quietly enter the main building of Xiaoyaoju from the back door, he also jumped down from the wall, followed up in the building.
Entering the building, there was a dead silence, looking up from downstairs, I just saw Meng Zimo being in the corridor on the second floor, and then saw Meng Zimo open a room, seeing that scene, Qin Xiao was really surprised, and couldn't help but think that Meng Zhutou was going to sneak into the girl's house and take advantage of the girl?
But this thought flashed through me, and I just felt that it was impossible.
After all, Meng Zimo is a decent person, and this kind of filthy behavior of stealing jade and stealing incense, with Meng Zimo's character, it is absolutely impossible to do.
I wanted to wait downstairs for a while, but I suddenly saw a few people coming out of the dim place in the hall, and if they were someone else, they might not be able to see each other's appearance clearly, but Qin Xiao took the blood pill, his eyesight was terrifying, and he could see at a glance that the other party was Zhen Yujiang, the young son of the Zhen Hou Mansion.
Zhen Yujiang's attention had been upstairs, and his steps were very light, but he ignored Qin Xiao, who followed Meng Zimo in through the back door.
Qin Xiao saw Zhen Yujiang, an ominous premonition immediately rose from his heart, and quickly hid under the stairs, which can be said to be the most hidden and darkest place on the entire first floor, unnoticed, he hid his figure under the stairs, paid attention to the situation upstairs, and soon heard the sound of fighting in the room that Meng Zimo entered, and then saw the door of the next room open, a group of figures rushed out from inside, and the firelight was also lit.
His mind was nimble, and the scene upstairs instantly made him understand that Mencius had fallen into the trap laid by the enemy nine times out of ten.
These people must have expected that Meng Zimo would throw himself into the net, so they all laid an ambush in advance, and the moment Meng Zimo entered the building through the back door, he was already under the control of the other party.
Qin Xiao, who was hiding under the stairs, had palpitations, and followed Meng Zimo into the building, if it wasn't for Meng Zimo who attracted the attention of these people, then he was afraid that he would have been discovered by these people now.
When Zhen Yujiang and Lang Shenshui were talking at the top of the stairs, it was naturally impossible to think of the place that was separated from them, and Qin Xiao was holding his breath and hiding there.
Mencius Mo's bloody battle was free, killing from the second floor to the downstairs, and from the downstairs to the backyard, Qin Xiao was naturally clear, he tried his best to control his urge to rush out and fight side by side with Mencius Mo, and did not act rashly.
The conversation between Zhen Yujiang and Lang Shenshui, he heard it clearly.
Tonight's layout, although the target is Meng Zimo, the real target is the Duwei Mansion and Han Yunong.
Zhen Yujiang didn't care whether Mencius was dead or alive, as long as Mencius fell into his hands, the crime of assassination was enough to launch an offensive against the Duweifu.
Qin Xiao knew very well that if he rushed out, even if he joined forces with Meng Zimo, he would not be the opponent of this group of Tsing Yi swordsmen.
The second-grade martial artist can just use his qi, if he fights alone, he should not be afraid of any Tsing Yi swordsman, but the other party is overwhelming, and these Tsing Yi swordsmen also have some skills after all, and killing them by themselves is equivalent to throwing themselves into the net.
Meng Zimo was arrested, after all, he had severed relations with the Duwei Mansion, although he could still be a weapon for Zhen Yujiang to deal with the Duwei Mansion, but he could not directly sue Han Yunong for arranging.
But he is still a person from the Duwei Mansion now, and if he falls into the hands of the other party, he will be more valuable than Mencius.
So he could only endure it, although he saw that Mencius was besieged and his injuries were not light, but in this case, he couldn't rescue him at all.
Qin Xiao's heart was painful, but there was nothing he could do.
When the group of Tsing Yi swordsmen all ran out to chase after Meng Zimo, Qin Xiao was happy that Meng Zimo had escaped death, but he also knew that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had finally appeared.
Meng Zimo's assassination tonight, Qin Xiao certainly knew that his original intention was to seek justice for the Zheng butcher's family.
fell short, and Mencius was bound to be unwilling.
Qin Xiao was also sad and angry about the murder of Zheng Tuhu's family, now that Mencius's plan could not be completed, and his opportunity was near, he did not hesitate, and made up his mind in his heart, Mencius Momo had the grace to save his life, and since the task to be completed with his life failed, then this task would be completed by himself for Mencius.
Of course, Zhen Yujiang and Lang Shenshui couldn't imagine that after Meng Zimo escaped, there was still Qin Xiao lurking on the side.
Qin Xiao is a young man, but a young man also has the ruthlessness of a young man.
Once something is decided, Qin Xiao will quickly calm down and try his best to complete it.
He secretly approached the two of them, and before Lang Shenshui could react, he rushed up like a leopard, holding the fish intestine thorn given by the red leaves in his hand, aiming at Lang Shenshui's throat, crisply and decisively, without the slightest drag.
Fatal with one hit!
Qin Xiao assassinated Lang Shenshui, pulled out a dagger, and the next target was Zhen Yujiang.
Zhen Yujiang was in a dilemma with the Duwei Mansion everywhere, the last time the Buddha statue incident almost took Meng Zimo's life, and Zheng Tuhu's family was killed, although Lang Shenshui planned it, but without Zhen Yujiang's permission, Lang Shenshui naturally did not dare to send someone to act.
Even if the lackey is dead, of course, the main culprit can't stay.
It's just that Zhen Yujiang is not just a pure literati like Lang Shenshui, he has practiced some fist and foot kung fu, and his reaction is relatively fast, and the most important thing is that Qin Xiao assassinated Lang Shenshui by surprise, and when he wanted to kill Zhen Yujiang again, Zhen Yujiang would already have precautions.
Although he cut off Zhen Yujiang's hand and cut half of his face, he couldn't kill him after all.
In the alley, Qin Xiao gasped, and at this time found that his hands were trembling slightly.
He didn't know if it was because he was afraid or because of his reaction after the killing, and at this time he also felt that his whole body was covered in cold sweat.
It was the first time he had killed someone.
When he made a move, Qin Xiao only wanted to solve the two scourges, and he didn't want anything else in his mind, but at this moment, recalling the scene when Fang Cai's fish intestines pierced Lang Shenshui's throat, he still felt his heart beat faster, and his body trembled involuntarily.
I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down, but I felt a little annoyed in my heart.
He only hated that his martial arts cultivation was still too shallow, and he couldn't take the opportunity to directly ask for Zhen Yujiang's life, otherwise he would have gotten rid of a big scourge for Zhen Jun.
But he also understands that Lang Shenshui was killed tonight and Zhen Yujiang was seriously injured, which was a major event that had not happened in Turtle City for many years, and it would be impossible for Zhenhou Mansion to give up in the future.
The Zhenhou Mansion will also definitely target the Duwei Mansion.
He was only worried about whether the Governor's Mansion would be able to deal with the Zhen family, and how would the Zhen family react?
One thing he is very sure of is that the Governor's Mansion represents the imperial court after all, if the Zhenhou Mansion does not have conclusive evidence, and directly attacks the Governor's Mansion, it will inevitably anger the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven is angry, and the Zhenhou Mansion must also consider the consequences.
Although the empire's attention has been in the south in recent years, and even the vigilance of the Tusun people in the north has exceeded that of Xiling, but the Jiebei Mansion in Jiayu Pass, there are 20,000 elite soldiers, which are directly led by General Hei Yu.
General Hei Yu captured the Khan on a snowy night that year, and made outstanding achievements, after retreating from Xiling to Guannei, the sage gave him the title of General Wei, than the three dukes, and ordered General Hei Yu to be in charge of the soldiers and horses of Jiebei Mansion.
Although the imperial court repeatedly claimed that the soldiers and horses of Jiebei Mansion were to guard against the Naiyan tribe of the Tusun people in the north, but when the Tusun tribes took advantage of the fire to loot, they suffered heavy losses from the Tang army, and the Naiyan tribe suffered heavy losses, and they already had a deep fear of the Tang people.
Therefore, everyone knows that the soldiers and horses of Jiebei Mansion are originally to deter Xiling.
If it weren't for the fact that it was to deal with Xiling, why would General Hei Yu personally sit in Jiebei Mansion for more than ten years? With his qualifications, he could have entered the court a long time ago.
But then again, if you can't catch the direct evidence of the rebellion of the Xiling Gate Valve, the Imperial Soldiers and Horses will not dare to go out easily, which will not only arouse the anger of the Xiling Gate Valve, but also will inevitably make the big country lose its trust in the world.
Zhen Yujiang was injured like that, and it was impossible to give up, and he was likely to make radical moves.
After he was completely calm, Qin Xiao didn't delay any longer, and quickly returned to Wood Alley under the cover of night.
Along the way, there was only one big question in his mind, who rescued Meng Zimo? Where is Mencius now?
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of that person tonight, Mencius would have died in a free house nine times out of ten.
was able to save Mencius in front of everyone, that person's skills were really remarkable.
When Qin Xiao returned to Wood Lane, Zhen Yujiang had also been quickly treated by the people living in the free house, and sent someone to drive a carriage and send him back to Zhen Hou's Mansion overnight.
Although it is said that it is not safe to live in a free place, the most important reason is that Zhen Yujiang must not die in a free house.
Everyone knows that after the Xiling Gate Valve reached an agreement with the imperial court, he must send his heirs to Kyoto, and the old marquis sent the eldest son, leaving the second son by his side, many people feel that if the eldest prince is sent to Kyoto, etc., if the sheep are sent into the tiger's mouth, leaving the second son, it can only prove that the old marquis is very fond of the second son.
If the old marquis's favorite son dies in Xiaoyaoju, of course, the people in Xiaoyaoju will usher in a catastrophe.
