It's been a night, and Lou Qi still hasn't come back.

Su Jingchen didn't find him yesterday, and after wandering the streets for a while, he returned to Old Man Tang's courtyard first, and told him in detail about the situation they encountered, Old Man Tang only said that he should wait at home, but now after a night, Lou Qi still has no news, Su Jingchen is a little anxious, and Old Man Tang is drinking tea, but he is not worried at all, "What are you afraid of, such a big person, you can't lose it." ”

"But we don't know the depth of that group, in case Lou Qi ......" Su Jingchen was still not very relieved.

"I've learned my skills for half a year, I know very well what level he is now, if I can't even deal with those little thieves, then when he comes back, I'll just expel him from the division, and I will lose my face when I go out in the future."

Su Jingchen was silent for a while, but still said, "I'm still not at ease, I'll go find him,"

Old man Tang took a sip of tea, and had no intention of stopping him, Yan Bailu suddenly pounced, grabbed Su Jingchen's hand and said, "Brother, brother, I'll go with you!" ”

Su Jingchen half-squatted down, touched Yan Bailu's head and said, "It's too cold outside, I'll go out to find Brother Lou Qi, and you can accompany Grandpa Tang at home,"

"When I come back and bring you something delicious, what do you want to eat?" Seeing that Yan Bailu was a little unhappy, Su Jingchen immediately added another sentence.

"I want to eat the pancakes!" Yan Bailu immediately smiled, and his eyes were bent into crescents.

"Okay, then obediently accompany Grandpa Tang at home."

"Got it!" Yan Bailu ran to Old Man Tang's side to do a good job, and didn't forget to look at Su Jingchen and waved his hand at him.

Su Jingchen also waved his hand in her example, turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate, Old Man Tang was still sitting in his place, and the expression on his face could not show joy and anger.

The cold wind on the street was unabated, which made Su Jingchen shiver for a while, he tightened his clothes, and decided to go to the original mansion to ask about Lou Qi's news first, and then make plans.

The figure in the corner of the wall in the distance saw Su Jingchen, rubbed his hands, and quickly followed.

I don't know why, there are few people in the market today, except for those wine shops, which are still as lively as usual, and there are many other places, and there are one or two customers who patronize them sporadically, Su Jingchen thought for a while, and planned to buy Yan Bailu's baked cakes first, so he turned around and walked to the other side.

A tall and thin figure behind him passed by him, Su Jingchen couldn't help but look at him twice, and always felt that the breath on this person's body was a little colder than the cold wind of this New Year.

After walking a few steps, I arrived at the stall where I bought baked cakes for Yan Bailu before, and the middle-aged man who sold the baked cakes stood alone in front of the stall, and there were no customers to patronize it.

Su Jingchen walked up and smiled at the middle-aged man, "Uncle, bring me two baked cakes, it's hot." ”

"Okay," the man showed a standard professional smile, skillfully wrapped two baked cakes for Su Jingchen and handed them to him, "It's just baked, be careful of scalding." ”

"Well," Su Jingchen paid and asked, "Why are there so few people on the street today?" ”

"I heard that the original master wants to transport money, hundreds of boxes of gold, how can it cost tens of thousands, right?" The man looked regretful, "Originally, I also wanted to go and see it, but unfortunately I still have to see this little broken stall." ”

"Then close the stall and go and see." Su Jingchen couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, no," the man raised his head and looked around, stretched his neck towards Su Jingchen, and whispered, "My mother-in-law asked me to come out and set up a stall, saying that there are many people in the New Year, and it must be easy to sell, if I close the stall now, I should not be clean when I go back." ”

"Yes," Su Jingchen smiled, turned around and left, "Then you're busy, I'll go first." ”

"Gotcha." The man sat back in his seat, his nails buttoned in boredom.

Su Jingchen carried the baked cakes in his arms, at least he could ensure that the baked cakes would not be cold when he went back, he roughly calculated, went to the original mansion, asked for news from Lou Qi, and looked around for another one, and he would probably be able to go back in less than two hours, maybe Lou Qi would have gone back by then?

On the way to Yuanfu, you have to pass through Huayan Street, and to go to Huayan Street, you need to walk through a remote and narrow alley, that alley is called Mud Lane, the alley is as its name, in rainy weather, there is mud everywhere, the road is full of potholes, even if it is the usual sunny weather, there will be no one there, because there is a group of ruffians gathered there, and when you see a weak passerby, you will go up to rob it.

But the ruffians are also going to celebrate the New Year, right? Su Jingchen thought so, and if he passed through that alley, he could take a few detours, at least save the time of a stick of incense, so he walked in, but his steps were much faster than usual.

There was still some snow on the small pits, the mud in the corners of the walls was frozen hard by the cold wind, and the walls on both sides of the alley were old, and the skin was peeling, revealing darker inner bricks. The journey of the alley was already halfway through, and there was nothing wrong all the way, Su Jingchen was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when a person suddenly walked out of the corner in front of him, blocking his way, and even a figure flashed behind him at the same time, cutting off his retreat path together.

Aren't hooligans too old?! Su Jingchen scolded in his heart, put on a smiling face, and thought about trying not to solve it.

He raised his head and was about to speak, when he suddenly found that the smile under the black cloak of the person in front of him was bulging, and he didn't have to think about Su Jingchen to know that it was a knife! Do the current ruffians use knives in robbery like bandits? Su Jingchen was taken aback, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, this group of ruffians he knew, last time he wanted to rob him and Lou Qi, but Lou Qi beat the six of them to the ground and begged for mercy, but now there are only two people here, and Su Jingchen doesn't remember that there are such thin and tall people among those six people.

It's the man who just brushed himself by! Su Jingchen suddenly remembered, and the terrifying aura on that man's body was...... Murderous.

Why did they kill me? Su Jingchen couldn't think of the reason, a familiar voice suddenly came from the back of his head, he subconsciously tilted his head, raised his right hand at the same time, grabbed the arrow, there was a sharp pain in the palm of his hand, the remaining strength of the arrow almost wiped off a layer of skin on his hand, and there were still archers in ambush, it was really enough to look up to himself, Su Jingchen couldn't help but think.

This arrow should be some kind of signal, the two people in front of him and behind him suddenly launched a charge at the same time, their hands hidden under the cloak, so that Su Jingchen could not see the timing of their attack, and the front and back attacked, making Su Jingchen unavoidable.

He just came out to find Lou Qi, he didn't bring a weapon at all, although his knife skills were really poor, but he could still resist for a while, and now he had nothing in his hand except the feather arrow, and standing in place was obviously not a good choice, he gritted his teeth and rushed straight towards the tall and thin man in front of him.

The person behind him was still approaching, and the person in front of him had already arrived, between the lightning and flint, the man pulled out the knife out of the sheath, Su Jingchen subconsciously raised his hand to block, and at the same time, his figure flashed, and he hit the wall on the side, and the man cut off the feather arrow in Su Jingchen's hand with a knife, and cut a terrible wound of more than an inch on Su Jingchen's forearm. The man's movements did not stop, he swept over with a knife, and wanted to cut off Su Jingchen's head in one fell swoop, Su Jingchen reluctantly raised the remaining feather arrow in his hand, and stabbed it towards the man's forearm first, the whole arrow did not enter the man's forearm, the man was in pain, the knife was stunned, but he did not stop, and continued to slash towards Su Jingchen, Su Jingchen grabbed the arrow, and at the same time pounced out, pulled out the arrow head, bringing out a blurred ball of flesh and blood, this time the man's knife finally took off, he was half-kneeling on the ground, covering his injured arm and wailing, Another man also rushed here, and he suddenly jumped up, crossed the companion, and raised his knife to slash at Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen rolled forward, directly ignoring the man, did not stop for a moment, and ran wildly towards the exit of the alley, he knew that he had no chance of winning, and could only see if these would stop in a crowded place.

As soon as Su Jingchen turned the corner, another arrow whistled, he suddenly shortened, and once again dodged the arrow that should have been shot through his head, his heart sank, it seemed that there was more than one archer.

Where, where, where are they?

Su Jingchen was running, paying attention to his surroundings, thinking about where those archers might be hiding, and a person suddenly stood up on a high wall in front of him, holding a bow and aiming at Su Jingchen.

Such a narrow alley, there are no obstacles, and the distance between us is only thirty steps, see how you hide this time! The archer drew his bow.

Found you! Su Jingchen sneered, I was worried that you wouldn't come out.

He raised the broken arrow in his hand as a throwing knife and flew towards the man who was drawing the bow, and the man released the bowstring at the same time, and the arrow came out of the string.

Su Jingchen suddenly pounced forward, the arrow flew out against his hair, and he sank deep into the frozen and stiff soil, the man behind Su Jingchen was stunned, as if he was frightened by the power of this arrow, Su Jingchen just ran too fast, and now he suddenly pounced forward, the inertia was too great, he rolled on the ground several times, and scratched his clothes in a few places, before he stabilized his body, he didn't care about anything else, stumbled and ran again, and now stopped, just afraid that he was going to die.

The man who shot the arrow widened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe that Su Jingchen could dodge the arrow, and before he could sigh, there was a sudden sharp pain in his eyes - the broken arrow was inserted into his left eye, and the sudden sharp pain made him unable to even stand on his feet, let alone standing on the uneven high wall, the man wailed and fell from the high wall, his face hit the ground, and the depth of the arrow into his eyes increased a few points, and now, the man fell to the ground and never moved again.

Su Jingchen pounced forward, like a bandit robbing a passing merchant, and pulled the bow in the man's hand hard, which didn't take much effort, before the man behind him caught himself, he grabbed a few arrows from the archery man's quiver, stood up and was about to run.

Su Jingchen was just about to turn around, and a man came out of nowhere behind him, the same cloak, the same knife, the man didn't seem to expect Su Jingchen to be here, he took out the knife in a panic, the force was not great, but it still cut Su Jingchen's back with a big hole.

Su Jingchen fell to the ground, turned around immediately the moment he touched the ground, and pulled his bow at the man, who was shot through the center of his eyebrows by an arrow before the man could make the next move.

Su Jingchen stood up, he bared his teeth from the pain on his back, he didn't plan to run, he ran like just now, he was afraid that it would only tear the wound bigger, he turned to look at the man who was chasing after him, the distance between them was only five steps, but he still pulled the bow.

The man couldn't help laughing, at such a close distance, can you be faster than my knife if you are a person with a bow?

The man suddenly became shorter, sped up, and one more step, as long as he took one more step, he could cut the throat of the young man in front of him with a single sword.

But he didn't have a chance, and Su Jingchen suddenly shot an arrow. Before the man could even react, his head was thrown back with great force, as if he had been punched head-on by a powerful wrestler, and the man remained in a strange position and fell to the ground on his back, and on his head, there was a feather arrow with only the feather of the arrow left.

The man with the injured arm turned the corner, in this alley they sent a total of four people, and there was only one entrance and exit in this alley, although the young man was unexpectedly agile, so that the beginning of the siege failed, but he could not run away, the man thought that he would see the body of the nameless boy, but in front of him, it was the corpse of three companions, and the young man with the bow, he was furious, and was about to rush up, when suddenly there was a sharp pain in his chest, he slowly lowered his head, it was a feather arrow, not to mention the sound, He didn't even know when the boy released the arrow, he looked at the feathered arrow, no longer had the strength to charge forward, and slowly fell to his knees.

Su Jingchen didn't dare to stay any longer, he staggered out of the alley, and only after making sure that he was safe did he throw the bow and the remaining arrow on the side of the road.
