Zhao Yue raced against time to get to the courtyard of the mansion, jumped directly on the courtyard wall, and when he jumped down, he didn't want a dog to bark, and the two big calf-like dogs near here noticed the movement and rushed over fiercely, and attracted a group of big dogs to bark and run from everywhere.

The lights were quickly turned on in one of the rooms.

There were seven or eight men in strong suits who came out to inspect with knives, guns and even bows and arrows, and reacted quickly and very conscientiously, which was completely different from the irresponsible performance of the sentry in the lookout house on the city wall.

The mansion occupies a large area, unlike the common large households, divided into the front, middle and back yards, the master lives in the backyard, its layout is the same as the castle, the master lives in the middle of the compound, the bodyguards and the male servants and families in the house are scattered around the surroundings, blocking the way to attack the master's house.

According to the information we have, there are only forty or fifty capable henchmen and bodyguards who live here, and there are not many male servants, and it is not one person and one house, many bachelors are in one room, and they eat together, and there are not too many houses outside, and the open space leading to the main house is relatively spacious.

Zhao Yue's primary goal is to arrest and interrogate and kill the Cui family patriarch in time, and he will not delay his work here, jumping off the wall, a pair of iron palms smashed the big dog's head that rushed into the air, and directly killed the two terrible beasts under the palm, and after landing, the body was more than ten meters long, the sword was unsheathed, and the big dog that ran first to block the road was killed, and the two ups and downs crossed the thirty-meter-long gap of about 30 meters to the main house, and they jumped on the courtyard wall of the main house, and disappeared on the wall, throwing off the terrible dogs and the bodyguards who chased and killed.

These bodyguards frightened Zhao Yue so fast that they didn't even have time to put their bows and arrows, but they smiled evilly, not very anxious.

According to the information he had, Zhao Yue knew that the Cui family was divided into elders and brothers, and each branch lived in various courtyards, but the patriarch branch still lived in the most central courtyard. It is still a hierarchical layout of subordinate protection heads.

He identified the target, did not delay half a time, ignored the branches, and took advantage of no one to react to come out to stop him, and quickly climbed over the courtyard and rushed to the central core compound.

There are several dead wind lamps hanging in the corridor of the house to protect them from the rain, and the lights are bright. Illuminates almost the entire core courtyard.

Four men in strong suits wearing fur hats have appeared in the courtyard, all of them are majestic but their steps are light, steady and confident, not military posture, they should all be masters of the rivers and lakes.

This must be the high-paying Jianghu hero or the green forest hero invited by the Cui family to be the core personal bodyguard, and it is also a foreshadowing to deal with the assassin.

Zhao Yue had not grasped this situation before.

It seems that although the two captives confessed a lot of important information, they avoided the secret killer of the Cui family, and they should not be loyal to the Cui family, but they were cunning and vicious and ill-intentioned to learn from the master's family. If Zhao Yue and the others dared to assassinate, they wanted to be able to retaliate indirectly.

It may also be that the two of them did not deliberately conceal it, and indeed did not know the existence of these four masters at all.

With the insidious cunning of the Cui family, this may also be very likely to prevent one-hand urine for his own family.

None of that matters, though.

Zhao Yue didn't care about four more substitute ghosts.

Martial arts have reached the level of his strength, fighting alone, there are few people in the world who can stop him for a moment.

The two closest to Zhao Yue had a horizontal serrated broadsword. A steel-pointed, iron-dotted gun.

One of them sneered in Yanyun regional Chinese: "My friend is so fast, but it's a pity that he came to the wrong place." ”

Both of them are famous figures. They are all good at hidden weapons, and they want to attack and kill the uninvited guests who must not be weak in their skills, and they solve tonight's troubles, and they have dealt with this kind of assassination before, and they cooperate with each other very tacitly, and they share the hearts of assassins with cold drinks. coincidentally, they launched a sneak attack with a hidden weapon.

Zhao Yue is the best at playing fast, this behavior buys time, kills people when he sees people in the way, he will not be distracted at all, and he will not delay half a time in the fight. Be the first to strike.

Two flying cones shot out.

The eye of the horizontal sawtooth knife was moved, and the flying cone penetrated deep into the brain, and it fell without saying a word, and the handful of thistles that had not had time to exert a strong force in his hand flew out and scattered weakly on the ground not long ago, and fell on the floor tiles in the courtyard with a crisp sound.

The man with the muddy iron point steel gun reacted quickly, twisted his face to dodge, and the eyelids and eyeballs were cut open by the tip of the flying cone that was not dead.

He involuntarily opened his mouth and screamed, Zhao Yue knew that he had missed, and before he could call out his voice, he rushed over like the wind, avoided the other two approaching and shot the hidden weapon, crushed the man's throat, grabbed his neck, fought with one arm, and threw it diagonally at the door of the house about a foot away behind the two.

With a bang, at least one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds of corpses easily smashed through the thick door of the house under the astonishing explosive force, but they listened to the hum-

There was a dense sound of breaking the air.

The other two masters who pounced on them were shot together by the powerful crossbow arrows that burst out of the broken door and turned into a hedgehog, piercing into a sieve eye, like a leaky broken bag, blood gushing out from all over the body, staining a large area of the ground red in the blink of an eye. It makes people's scalp tingle when they see it.

Moreover, the two of them were carried away by the powerful impact force synthesized by the dense crossbow arrows, fell out of several meters, fell to the ground and twitched a few times before moving.

Zhao Yue was creepy.

He concluded that the two who died first were tightly in front of him through the door, and they must be the most important people such as the Cui family patriarch or his son, who was protecting, but in order to save a little time to enter the target room, he smashed the door with his corpse, and never expected that the door of the house was actually connected to a group of crossbows.

Unexpectedly, the core bodyguard masters here didn't know this secret, and they died so miserably and unjustly.

The vicious and mysterious behavior of the Cui family has become a natural instinct, reaching a terrifying level.

Pity them for their hard work, it is not good to protect anyone, but they are greedy for the Cui family's money to protect the Cui family.

After thinking about this matter clearly, Zhao Yue couldn't help but gasp again after being shocked, secretly glad that he had a big life.

If it weren't for this unintentional smash, I was afraid that he would kill the other two opponents, and when he hurriedly broke through the door, he would probably be unprepared and be shot in a terrifying outburst.

The special inner armor is tough, and it should be able to block the group of crossbow arrows to protect his vital point, but the powerful impact force is enough for people to bear.

What's more, the head and legs, the inner armor can't protect them, even if they are alert and sharp, and the reaction is very fast, and the head can be protected in time by the inner armor on the arms, but the legs must be seriously injured. That is in this lone sneak attack melee, and afterwards it is necessary to ride a horse and escape in time. Life can basically be determined to be difficult to protect.

There is no room for distraction in the race against time.

Zhao Yue has experienced a hundred battles and encountered many dangers, and quickly settled down.

He knew that this kind of mass crossbow was terrifying, but it was extremely troublesome to reload, and it was fired once, and there would not be a second time in a short time. And with his hearing, he didn't hear anyone moving around the house, he didn't hear the secret breathing, and there would be no more ambushes and sneak attacks.

He was worried that there was also fraud at the window, and he was afraid that Wu Neng Xu Jin, who came to support later, would touch the window and encounter a poisonous hand, and then smashed the only front window of the house with the corpse of the person with a serrated knife.

Hum -

As expected, another dense group of powerful crossbows came out, but they failed to kill, and they all shot at the opposite tree or courtyard wall.

Zhao Yue exhaled and borrowed the light on the verandah. He quickly glanced into the room from the door, then jumped in, ignoring the tall crossbow that was slowly turning towards the wall, and stared at the door on the east wall.

The house is a standard main house facing south and north for lighting.

The place where he stood was a large space like a living room and a study, I am afraid that there are not 40 square meters, and there is a large window in the north and south, so the daylight must be very good. The room was covered with a thick and luxurious carpet, an expensive pineapple tea table, a luxurious brocade, and a large pineapple desk. The pen and paper and inkstone on the table are all famous products, all of which show that the owner of this place is extraordinary.

Facing the door and window is the three-tall bookshelf with a strong crossbow on the back. The shelves are filled with books that cover the blank space of the shelves.

There is a door on the east side. It must be the master's bedroom.

Unexpectedly, the Cui family's master's bedroom is actually a windowless dark room, obviously to strengthen security, and it must also hide secrets.

Zhao Yue moved the heavy tea table over and put it on the bookshelf facing the back window to prevent it from turning around and firing a strong crossbow, and smashed a round stool in front of the tea table open the east door.

Hum -

Another burst of crossbow fire.

Zhao Yue ignored the crossbow arrows, and in the whoosh sound, he could clearly hear that there was no one in the bedroom?

He hurriedly shook his flashlight inward. In the southeast corner of the house, there is a large ondol.

The quilt on the kang was lifted piecemeal. There are two piles of clothes in the kang corner, which appear to be a pair of men and women. There are two pairs of shoes on the carpet in front of the kang, both of which are leather boots, one large and one small. There were two people who had hurriedly gotten off the kang and trampled over three shoes in the dark.

Ran away?

Sure enough, there is a secret way.

Zhao Yue dodged in. While scanning the layout, I listened intently.

This room is also very large, although it is a dark room, there are a lot of furnishings in it, just a wardrobe is a big slip, and there is a separate bathroom.

His gaze quickly fell on the large carved bed with an open curtain in the northeast corner.

He heard movement there.

It was in the bed, although it was extremely faint, and it was impossible for ordinary people to hear it, but Zhao Yue still noticed it.

He couldn't help but think of the scene of the flap bed hiding people in the TV series "The Deer and Ding Ji" he had watched in his previous life, and his heart suddenly brightened, worried that there was a secret way to escape under the bed, and he hurriedly smashed a hole in the thick and hard side bed board with a punch, and sure enough, there was a light coming out, and he hurriedly grabbed the hole and pulled the whole bed open.

A hole about the size of this heavy bed appeared in front of him.

There is a light in the cave.

Zhao Yue could clearly see that there was a high bed-like cushion below, more than half a meter high from the wooden floor of the room, and there was a sleek old man with half-white hair and a white body lying on his back, motionless, his face was dark, and he seemed to be dead.

Next to her is a young woman who is also smooth, her skin is white and dazzling, her long hair is as black as a cloud, her body is fleshy, her curves are exquisite, and she is extremely attractive.

The previous movement was caused by the woman's teeth fighting up and down in fright.

Zhao Yue saw that the mat was connected to a slanted downward step, and he couldn't see where it led from above, worried that it was a secret passage, so he dodged down, ignored the woman, and looked at it in a flash, and sure enough, he saw that there was a passage at the end of the steps, with a cement opening, very narrow, only allowing one person to pass, but the inside was wider, and two people who were not too fat could still walk side by side, with a brick cave wall, and a carpet on the ground.

Thinking about the Cui family's viciousness, cruelty and cunning, Zhao Yue was afraid that there were evil organs in the secret passage, so he didn't dare to break in easily to investigate.

He was about to open his mouth to ask the woman some questions when he heard the sound of running and rapid gasping in the passage.

"Father, why are you still grinding? Could it be that he was suddenly reluctant to accept Jinna's plaything, and he couldn't do it? ”

With a low shout that seemed to mock and ridiculed, in the blink of an eye, a sturdy man of less than thirty came through the passage, also naked, with an extra pair of shoes on his feet, and a steel knife dripping from his mouth in his hand.

This person raised his eyes and saw that Zhao Yue, who was standing at the top of the steps, was the masked man who had killed two bodyguards in the courtyard just now and scared him into absconding, his eyes widened instantly, his pupils also dilated, and he let out a sound in his mouth, and he turned around and wanted to go back to the hole.

For this uninvited guest whose eyes seem to glow like a monster, he has a sword and martial arts, and he doesn't have the courage to fight.

Zhao Yue didn't know who this person was, he was afraid that he would escape into the tunnel, so he didn't have time to think about it, and he shook his hand and it was a flying cone, which hit the back of the person's heart.

The man fell to the ground, convulsed a few times, and then did not move.

The young woman saw the murder with her own eyes, but she was not so frightened that she screamed.

Her round beautiful eyes saw Zhao Yue turn his face to look at her, her lips moved slightly, she should have wanted to ask her something, and she was smart and immediately whispered: "The old man is the patriarch." “

The voice was shaky, but clear.

Immediately after that, she said: "I bought a plaything, Yan Jingqing/Lou, and I just arrived today." Did you hear that? ”

As he spoke, he had the courage to point to the dead body under the steps, which meant that what the man had just shouted could be proven.

Seeing that Zhao Yue seemed interested in listening to her, he continued. "Before, when he heard you coming, he was very afraid of you, covered the slave's mouth and threatened the slave not to make a sound, and pulled the slave family to lie down on the bed, and the slave suddenly turned down in a panic. He fell down and kept covering the slave's mouth, and the other hand reached out and hurriedly wanted to touch something,"

The woman pointed to a large round fist next to the mattress, and then pointed to a dagger on the mattress, "I was trying to kill me, but I broke it and died suddenly." ”

Zhao Yue glanced at the top of the cave and guessed more.

The old guy definitely wants to kill people and kill his mouth, to prevent the woman from screaming and making a noise to let the enemies above notice the secret under the bed and cut off the way to retreat, and he can also get rid of the burden and escape faster from the secret passage, but he wants to move the mechanism and reseal the hole with the plank under the bed, further isolating the sound and the secret under the bed, and gaining more time to escape.

The old thing's son should have done the same.

This dog is young, with neat legs and feet, and escapes quickly, not only hiding underground, but seeing that he is holding a blood-dripping steel knife, presumably the woman who slept with him tonight has been poisoned.

It's just that the mechanism is exhausted, but in the end it is empty.

This mat is very high, very thick, extremely soft, and will not hurt if you fall on it, and the main thing is that the sound is so small that the enemies who kill it cannot hear.

But falling from the bed above onto the cushion, it was still more than a meter high.

Presumably the old ghost is old, suddenly woke up from sleep, and got up in a hurry to get up already had a problem, nervous and hurried to care about the abnormality of the body, uncomfortable, forced the woman to escape together, this process made the force and nerves, and the body had heart disease and the like, and then went to bed and fell sharply, and ended up killing himself.

Anyone with common knowledge of physiology and medicine knows that it is dangerous to get up from sleep.

Young and normal people often have physical problems because of this, let alone an old and sick person who has drunk alcohol.

Zhao Yue smelled a very strong smell of wine and knew that the dead old ghost was a delicate beauty tonight, and he was probably very proud, and he drank a lot, but he didn't know whether he drank too much and slept or his body was empty, and he was already inhumane, so that this woman was lucky to keep her innocence.

This is a smart and somewhat courageous woman, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, and a poor person in a cruel feudal and troubled world.

Zhao Yue nodded slightly, his eyes showed a hint of smile and warmth, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid." ”

He learned the identities of the two deceased, and his heart was both relieved and disappointed.

I was glad that I still intercepted the father and son of the Cui family in time, and my desperate efforts were not in vain.

disappointed that he couldn't stay alive and interrogate more Cui family secrets.
