Final Chapter. 22. Deceive the mountains but not the water

The great monk Nian Heng placed his cover door in the knee socket, so even if he deliberately returned to protect the vital point in the middle of the fight with others, he could not find a suitable angle of protection at all. After a long time, he himself forgot about the cover door, and the enemy naturally could not detect the location of his cover door. Using this stupid method to numb his vigilance was also an important reason why he voluntarily increased the difficulty of his cultivation.

But Da Huanglong arranged his cover door in the armpit position; Even this position is also called the word hidden; But when he fights the enemy, his mind will inevitably be disturbed by the door at his fingertips. It is true that Da Huanglong is also a veteran who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and when he punches and steps, there are no obvious injuries and omissions; Because of this, such a little awkwardness and jerkiness that shouldn't exist is enough for Shen Gui to understand what he thinks in his heart!

Any movements and moves that don't look smooth and unsightly must be wasted tricks that have been practiced; The Divine Fist Sect has been concentrating on the study of fist and foot exercises for many years; With just one trip to the arm, how could the big yellow dragon go wrong? After figuring out this layer, and then look at his obviously half a beat faster closing speed, and withdrawing from the shoulder clamp with too much amplitude; No matter how you think about it, there is only one possibility of "seeing the sky under the armpit"!

So, at the moment when Da Huanglong thought he had the chance to win, he took the time to turn around and talk nonsense; Shen Gui shook the two fingers of his left hand slightly, and quickly rotated the Thunder Sword in his palm for half a circle; Holding the hilt of the sword upside down, he stabbed it the door under the armpit of the big yellow dragon!

The hard qigong that protected the body was quickly broken, and the blades of the various factions that came overwhelmingly turned into many life-seeking enemies of the Great Yellow Dragon!

watched the boxer Da Huanglong, who was like a giant spirit god descending to earth, end up with a dismal ending; The dozens of murderers who sat and watched the success or failure didn't say a word, quickly exchanged a few glances at each other, and then rushed towards Shen Guiyi, who was covered in blood!

When it comes to fighting alone, the young knights present must also be smarter than Da Huanglong and Wang Qiaonan; But they are all only forty years old, even if they start practicing martial arts in their mother's womb, their skills are limited after all; In addition, everyone is either an old friend who has been in contact with each other, or a master of the same level who has heard of it in the past; Although there are high and low levels of personal cultivation, there will never be a difference in the span of levels.

In other words, Da Huanglong and Wang Qiaonan were defeated, and if their group went up again, they would still end up in the same situation! After figuring this out, the rest of the newcomers in the rivers and lakes automatically hugged each other spontaneously, and took out their ability to press the bottom of the box, and went straight to Shen Gui's head.

Originally, it was a lottery meeting where people sat in rows and divided the fruits, but due to Shen Gui's unexpectedly strong cultivation, it evolved into a big melee that resigned itself to fate. These martial arts people with their own ghosts finally understood at this time: no matter who finally achieved the great wealth and could enjoy the full support promised by His Royal Highness King Qin, it was a problem that needed to be considered after slaughtering Shen Gui first.

Some people who were originally on the periphery of the battle circle and had no room to shoot at all; Looking at the fellow Jianghu who rushed to Shen Gui like a tide in the dark, I actually thought of the spectacular scene of lion dances in dozens of villages picking green together every year!

And three main streets away from the inn, from the backyard of the city government of Dengzhou, a black shadow just popped out. This person is none of the top snitch in the Huayu Continent - Qi Yan. In response to Shen Gui's words, he infiltrated the government to monitor the movements of the prefect of Dengzhou; But when he sneaked into the main room, he listened to the muffled thunder and snoring on the beams of the room for half an hour, and still did not find any suspicious signs. The prefect seemed to be going to sleep until dawn, but Qi Yan couldn't continue to consume it here; So before leaving, he only left a letter, writing down the four big characters "Good life as an official", and planned to leave the government......

However, he had just jumped onto the wall of the palace when he suddenly noticed something unusual.

The person who knows you best in the world is often your number one enemy; With Qi Yan's familiarity with public affairs, it is enough to take an important position in the Ministry of Officials. As far as he knows, whether it is the three classes and six rooms of the government service, or the generals and soldiers of the city protection camp, although they will not live in the back office, but today's Dengzhou Mansion is a little cold! Even the gatehouse has only one old man who fights the guard, but there is no guard inside and outside the palace.

Tonight the rain is pouring down, and at first glance, it seems reasonable for people to go to Yakong; But for Qi Yan, this is obviously an extraordinary thing! If someone plans to assassinate the prefect tonight, then with just a strong man and a steel knife, he can easily slaughter a fourth-grade member of the imperial court, isn't it too child's play?

The law of Northern Yan clearly stipulates that every first-level yamen of the state capital, after nightfall, at least three rotating guards need to be arranged to protect the peace of the prefect's family. Even if the prefect of Dengzhou City is a Qing official who is plain and sympathetic to the service, he will not disregard the laws of the imperial court for this reason; If it is the kind of corrupt officials who exploit the people and scrape the fat and ointment, they are even more afraid of being retaliated by the people waiting for an opportunity, which will only strengthen the defense force, and how can there be a reason to open the door widely!

Thinking of this section, Qi Yan quickly shuttled to all corners of the palace; However, except for a few old mothers and maidservants, not even a single messenger wearing official clothes was found! From this point of view, the prefect of Dengzhou City not only did not participate in the rebellion of King Qin; And even his own duties and rights as a state capital have been secretly emptied by his subordinates!

After confirming the innocence of the prefect, Qi Yan originally planned to rush back to the inn to help Shen Gui; But as soon as he thought of the narrow and closed space in the front hall of the inn and then thought about his cultivation level, he immediately dispelled the idea of going back and causing trouble for Shen Gui.

I can't help myself in a fight, but I have to do what I can, right?

After thinking about it, Qi Yan braved the rain and went straight to the Dragon King Temple at the northwest ferry. He knew very well in his heart that since Di Ting was also involved in it, then with their intelligence power, there would be no secret about the every move of his two brothers; However, Shen Gui's martial arts cultivation is almost mysterious, and if he can't protect himself, he can still escape by taking the road; And those who lack experience in life and death are only worthy of the word trouble, not even tricky, and they are not useful at all.

If the level of assassination followed by this, then it would not be a problem for their brothers to survive three days; But from the other party's point of view, once the wind and waves are calm after three days, then after he and Shen Gui successfully crossed Dongyouwan and arrived at Haining City on Guanbei Road; Those behind-the-scenes envoys, if they want to send someone to assassinate Shen Gui, they will have to pay an even higher price!

So apart from the two of them, who is the most dangerous person in the entire Dengzhou City? There is no doubt that it is the old water thief who is more and more alive - Sheng Beichuan. Because the best way to solve Shen Gui is to kill Sheng Beichuan and trap these two landlubbers who can't operate boats and boats directly in this Dengzhou city!

Out of the professional habits of the snitch, Qi Yan will carefully "step on a plate" around the target location in advance before approaching the target. However, as soon as he turned to the back of the Dragon King Temple, a deep voice came out of the temple hall from the sound of rain......

"Old man Sheng, my brothers and I respect you as a senior, and we don't want to tear our faces. If you are willing to do what we say, then not only will you be able to regain the glory of the past; Even your disciples and grandchildren can ascend to heaven and follow you to a more prosperous and decent life! ”

"We are all people from the rivers and lakes, so we naturally want to take the rivers and lakes; Since the two of us are not on the way, there is no need to share the same boat. ”

"Tut-tut, look at yourself, what kind of virtue have you mixed into? It's embarrassing to say that the people of the rivers and lakes take the rivers and lakes! Wake up, old man, the current rivers and lakes are all about this ......"

Speaking of which, there was a crisp sound of stones falling to the ground in the temple. Qi Yan knew that it must be the one who spoke, and he had just thrown out a silver ingot in the direction of Old Man Sheng.

After a long silence in the temple, Sheng Beichuan's low and hoarse voice sounded again:

"Silver...... But that's good! ”

"You know how good it is? You've never been to Nankang, have you? I'll tell you......"

"Doll, the benefits of this thing, Grandpa Sheng, I'm already tired of it."

“…… The old rivers and lakes are the old rivers and lakes, and they are really high! But you're tired of playing, so don't you care about these apprentices? ”

"If you are in the rivers and lakes, you are a thin man. If I die in this Dragon King Temple today, it will also be the catastrophe of the Jianghu Dao, and I will never complain. ”

"Huh? It turns out that you don't love money, as if you ...... It seems to be a means to look down on our Liangjiang Alliance! Brothers, do it! ”

In a hurry, Qi Yan had no choice but to pick up a piece of gravel and hit it directly on the stone statue along the air window of the Dragon King Temple. This sound is not too loud, but it is enough to alarm the vigilance of the Liangjiang Alliance!

"Who?"

The water thief who was just about to kill someone immediately burst out loud when he heard this strange noise; At the same time, about twenty strong men rushed out of the main gate of the Dragon King Temple with sharp blades in hand. The ferry was stormy, and these people had just gone out when they were dazed by the pouring rain outside the temple; All of them chirped like headless flies looking for the uninvited guest; And Qi Yan had already followed the small air window into the temple, his hands were in tiger claws, and he grabbed the "collar" of the dragon king's stone statue.

"Old man Sheng, I advise you to be smarter! Anyway, there are only the three of you who go to sea after tomorrow, and no one in the world knows your water nature, and it is reasonable to escape with a life after the ship sinks, and there will be no rumors about the rivers and lakes at all. ”

"You have a point...... Three people in a boat, two drowned; The cause and effect of the matter, isn't it all my Sheng Beichuan's words? ”

"You finally understand my old lady Sheng......"

"But even if I, Sheng Beichuan, can deceive the world, how can I deceive myself? Even if you deceive yourself with your conscience, how can you deceive the heavens and the gods of the past? ”
