Chapter 38: Fangs
In Duan Chong's opinion, "the night is dark and the wind is high" has never been a very good idiom, but today Duan Chong feels that this word is particularly kind. tightened his collar, looked at Fu Yousu who was following closely behind him, and asked with a smile, "The first time you killed someone?" ”
Fu Yousu shook his head: "When I joined the army, who didn't have a few lives in his hands." ”
Duan nodded and said, "That's fine, follow me, always do something dark and unsightly." ”
Fu Yousu was very depressed at this time, the little master in front of him was only a few years old, he seemed so vicissitudes, and he had to come to comfort himself a few words before killing...... Is there any reason for this?
————————————————————————————————————
In a small courtyard in the south of the city, the lights had been extinguished early, and everything seemed so calm and normal, in the eyes of everyone, it was like an ordinary courtyard of a wealthy family, without a trace of abnormality. Duan Zhong touched his nose and asked, "Are you sure they're all here?" "Duan Chong came here today, both to kill and take revenge. Because Duan Chong's subordinates detected a secret force that often haunts the capital, and after Duan Chong's confirmation, it is enough to be sure that these people in front of him are in a group of people who assassinated him in Hangzhou. Although Jiang Mingchen only found some peripheral minions, Duan Zhong still decided to use the strength of his subordinates. This is a show, Duan Zhong must thoroughly show his strength, and let all those who have crooked thoughts about him weigh it well.
Duan Zhong called the shadow army formed by Fu Yousu and led by Jiang Mingchen as "Poison Fang", because this is a terrifying force with poison enough to bite an elephant to death, although it is only a prototype now, but the power is already very terrifying.
Fu Yousu nodded: "There should be more than twenty people on the other side, a few went out, and the rest are inside." ”
"How are you doing with the hidden work?"
Fu Yousu said: "In the past few days, we have been observing with the thing called the telescope you gave us, and the distance is very far, and it is impossible for the other party to find it." ”
Duan Zhong nodded with satisfaction, and found that the knowledge he recorded in the "Crossing Treasure Book" was indeed very useful. Looking up at the sky, he saw that the moon had long been obscured by dark clouds: "What time is it?" ”
"Sub-hour."
Duan Zhong said: "You can start." ”
As soon as the words fell, Fu Yousu's figure was gone. Outside the courtyard wall of this small courtyard in the south of the city, there are nearly 100 more figures. These figures reached out and deftly climbed into the courtyard wall, and slowly touched the courtyard. Duan Zhong walked at the end, watching everything.
Several dark shadows were the first to push open the door, and the short crossbow in their hands was raised violently, and a burst of fire was fired into the room, and then the sound of countless crossbow arrows hitting the wall was heard. However, the expected screams did not come out. Duan Zhong frowned, looking at the subordinates who were swarming into the small courtyard, he felt that something was wrong.
No one! This is the conclusion that the subordinates came to after breaking into the house. The fire fold had been lit and lit up every corner of the house. Indeed...... No one.
I didn't dare to light all the candles in the house for fear of attracting the attention of the surrounding neighbors. So Duan Zhong could only pace, carefully observing everything in the house. The house was a bit messy, apparently there were people here not so long ago, but now there is no one in this house, that's a fact. But it is absolutely impossible for these people to get out of this house, because their own people are watching all the time.
So...... Duan Zhong touched his nose, there must be some place in this house where people can hide, or...... It's a dark passage. Duan Chong's eyes scanned back and forth in the room several times, and finally found something that was not quite right. The tablecloth on the central table in the room was too long and thick. has obscured the entire floor.
Gently lifting the tablecloth, Duan Zhong lowered his body and took a closer look, and found that the cracks in the stone bricks on the ground were larger than those elsewhere, and just these were enough to determine many things.
Duan Zhong didn't speak, just pointed at Fu Yousu lightly at the stone bricks on the ground. Fu Yousu comprehended, and ordered someone to gently move the table on the stone slab. A few more people stepped forward and helped slowly lift the stone bricks under the ground.
A black hole appears in front of everyone. Duan Zhong touched his nose, and his guess was indeed correct. At the same time, only the sound of "whoosh", "whoosh", and "whoosh" several dark arrows breaking through the air sounded, and dozens of arrows were shot out of the black hole.
Duan Zhong secretly said that it was not good, and ordered someone to drag the body of the deceased down. This was the first time that the "poisonous fangs" had lost manpower, so the green tendons in Duan Chong's hands rose. Fu Yousu walked over, his face was a little dark, and there was a trace of terror under the faint light of the fire fold: "Master, do you want to attack it?" The gang must have noticed that we had entered the house, so they retreated underground to defend themselves. ”
Duan Zhong shook his head: "The other party is also a killer who operates in the dark night, so your actions naturally can't be hidden from them." But at this moment, since there are arrows shooting in this hole, it means that there are people in this hole. In my opinion, there must be a dead place in this cave, and the people inside must be waiting for us to rush in and fight them to the death. ”
Fu Yousu raised his eyebrows: "Three brothers have died, and this tone must not be endured." I'll kill it now. ”
Duan Zhong shook his head: "You go and dismantle all the things in this house that can be lit for me, light them and throw them into this hole." "Since it is a dead hole, Duan Zhong will naturally not be stupid enough to order someone to go in and fight hard, after all, in the dark, the other party has the advantage of the home field. So Duan Zhong chose a very vicious way and set fire. The air in the cave is naturally limited, and when the entire cave is filled with smoke, it is enough to choke many people to death.
Fu Yousu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered. Everything in the room that could be lit, such as sheets and tablecloths, was lit and thrown in, and suddenly thick black smoke came out of the black hole. Duan Zhong raised his eyebrows, the smoke was too big, and he ordered someone to cover the slate again. And now Duan Zhong is waiting, either waiting for the people in the cave to stop smoking to death, or waiting for the people in the cave to rush out. Either my reasoning is wrong, and there are other exits in this hole.
After a moment, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Duan Chong's mouth. Because Duan Chong's own inference was not wrong, the stone slab on the ground moved, and more than a dozen shadows rushed out of this black hole in an instant, and what was waiting for them was a salvo of nearly a hundred short crossbows. There were no blind spots, no deviations, and all the crossbow arrows were submerged into the bodies of the dozen or so men in black. Then came the sound of corpses falling to the ground, killing instantly, and there was not a single living mouth.
The whole room fell silent in an instant, except for a dozen corpses lying silently on the ground. And there was still black smoke coming out of the black hole. Duan Zhong frowned, there were not enough people! So the order was continued: "Keep burning." ”
Some of the lit fabrics were thrown down again, and this time Duan Zhong also threw down his coat, because there was not enough fuel, watching the thick black smoke continue to emerge from the black hole, and ordered someone to plug the hole. Then Duan Zhong moved a stool and sat down unhurriedly. His hands were clasped to his chest, and his eyes were fixed on the covered black hole.
Minutes and seconds passed. It seems that an hour has passed, and I am afraid that in a few moments, the sky will be bright. Duan Zhong touched his nose, could it be that there was really another way out of this underground? Sighing, knowing that he couldn't wait any longer, he turned around and instructed Fu Yousu: "Burn this house, make it look like a fire, and don't show any horses' feet." ”
After that, Duan Zhong ignored Fu Yousu and went straight out of the courtyard. The cool breeze of the night came out, brushing the skin, and I felt a little refreshed. But Duan Zhong felt that all his pores were blocked, and they were covered with blood. In tonight's action, although Duan Chong's own hands were not stained with blood, Duan Chong found that deep down in his heart he was so thirsty for killing, so eager for blood. This is not a good sign, Duan Zhong knows that this is the sequelae of the swordsmanship taught by the old ancestor of the family, Duan Zheng, and Duan Chong also knows that he is only a thin line away from breaking through. However, after the breakthrough, what will usher in a stronger murderous aura will be.
Sudden breakthrough, that's a problem.
Looking at the raging fire in the house behind him, Duan Zhong nodded with satisfaction. The fire in this house will not be extinguished for three or four hours. And when the fire is extinguished, everything will turn into a pile of black ash.
After the fire ignited, Duan Zhong did not leave, but hid in a dark corner, watching Fu Yousu lead the "fangs" to evacuate the scene. You have to leave quickly, because soon the people around you will come out and save them.
And after Fu Yousu left, Duan Zhong still held up the telescope he had "invented" in his hand, as if he was looking at something. Finally, an embarrassed figure rushed out of the fire, jumped over the wall in the blink of an eye, and was about to disappear from Duan Chong's sight.
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Duan Chong's mouth, he put down the telescope in his hand, jumped up, and chased after the man in black.
The man in black didn't move very fast, of course, this was relative to Duan Chong's speed. Duan Zhong estimated the strength of this man in black, and he should be at least a third-stage master, but because he was injured, his speed slowed down, and it was precisely because of this that Duan Zhong could easily follow behind.
And the man in black walked left and right through the dark alleys, and finally came to the door of a mansion. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned over and jumped in.
And Duan Zhong touched his nose, this is a place he is very familiar with: "Prime Minister's Mansion!" ”
And now, Duan Chongzheng dragged his chin and thought about a very contradictory question: should there be a showdown. Finally, Duan Zhong waved his hand and disappeared into the night.
