Final Chapter. 42

After the casualty figure was more than halfway, the scene became much more deserted. The "shopkeeper" who was the leader of the Huashen Sect, when he saw that Shen Gui and the others were getting more and more ruthless, and the first move was already unstoppable, he immediately shouted "withdraw", and ran out of the main gate of the Qingquan Tea House without looking back.

This obviously intolerable little leader of the Huashen Sect was of course worthless in Shen Gui's eyes; But in the minds of those deceived Huashen Sect believers, the decree of the senior brother who led the team was equivalent to the personal oracle of the sect lord! Whoever dares to question the slightest bit will suffer from the bite of ten thousand insects!

Shen Gui never imagined that in the minds of these fanatical believers, the word "withdraw" was more deterrent than the blood-stained stumps all over the ground! In a moment, dozens of believers who could barely move did not hesitate to scatter and flee.

A young martial artist who has a murderous temperament wants to go out with a knife to pursue; But his right foot had just crossed the threshold, but his shoulder had been locked and he couldn't move a bit!

This martial artist is very young, and in order to survive the work frame and fire on the stage, he has always had the habit of practicing boxing and knife skills; Today, Shen Gui's "amnesty" was able to kill, and soon from the initial fear and apprehension, it was transformed into the satisfaction and pleasure of applying what he had learned. Now his mind has been completely filled with killing intent, and all he thinks about is to kill the enemy!

After drinking the blood, the butcher's knife is easy to pick up and difficult to put down.

The shoulder was locked and could not move, and under normal circumstances he should have looked back and asked again; But this red-eyed martial artist didn't even look back, pulled a very beautiful spatula flower with his right hand, and quickly cast a black hand behind him-Yin Knife, and went straight to the ancestral hall of the demolition; But the intoxicating touch that the tip of the knife slashed through the flesh of the enemy did not appear again......

He wanted to quench his thirst for the steel knife, so he frowned and looked back; I saw Shen Guizheng staring at himself with extremely clear eyes, and a loud slap followed, almost deafening his ears!

This martial artist, who was indulged in and killed, was unable to extricate himself, and after receiving this palm, there were flying flowers in front of him, buzzing in his ears, and his thighs that had already lost his strength were weak, and the whole person sat in a pool of blood in a daze, and he could no longer have a little murderous intent......

Shen Gui stepped forward, pinched his chin like a horse, and found that his slap did not cause permanent damage, so he said to him word by word:

"You are a martial artist of the Liu family, and you rely on your body and voice to eat. You are not a soldier on the battlefield of the two armies, and you are not a killer who fights with his life for money. There is no rule for the opera troupe to solicit customers on the street, since they have a tea party, they are guests who come to listen to the play; Now that we're leaving, let them go. ”

The martial artist nodded weakly, but his expression was still dull; I don't know if the roar in his ears has dissipated, I don't know how many words he heard clearly in Shen Gui's words, and I don't know what he is thinking in his mind now......

Li Qing, the powerless shopkeeper, also cautiously came out of the back hall after hearing that the front hall was gradually calming down.

As early as when he was the head of the inner court in the palace, he was already accustomed to smelling blood and seeing big scenes; After all, the eunuch palace maid who once died under his torture rod was eighty if not a hundred. Now that he saw a mess covered with stumps and blood, he only frowned, and did not show any fear or timidity, but more like disgust and irritability:

"What a tea house, it was renovated again last fall, and now it's stinking to death! Listening to the crazy words just now, they are all from the Huashen Sect, right? There is a debtor who has a debt, and this damaged table, chair and bench...... Wait! Didn't the Huashen Sect collude with the Mobei horse bandits? Why didn't you capture the kid who took the lead and send it to Governor Gu for interrogation, but let him go so easily? ”

"Find someone to clean up and light a few more incense burns. As for that group of fools from the Huashen Sect, they didn't bother with Manager Li, someone had already followed. I want to see if the disguise technique on this little er's face is from the hand of a master of the Huashen Sect! ”

Although the Huashen Sect is dressed in the skin of a god and monster organization, it is not difficult to see through what they have done that the sect leader Zhang Yuan and his people must have more far-reaching ambitions in their hearts. And the dozens of believers who have just escaped have obviously undergone some careful training on weekdays; These killers, covered in blood and wounded, had just run out of the gate of the Qingquan Tea House, and immediately showed good tactical literacy.

After this defeat, they did not huddle together to warm each other; On the contrary, there is no need to communicate, and there is a four-sided flower! Everyone fled in different directions, and in a short time, they completely merged into the busy city of Fengjing; Except for the unlucky ones who hadn't stolen clean clothes yet, no one could see where they had come from.

It is conceivable that even if that martial artist took to the streets with a sword, in addition to causing a great chaos in the city, he would only catch one or two at most, and he would not be able to find any valuable tongues! According to Shen Gui's judgment, except for the senior brother who disguised himself as a junior second, everyone else was a very low-level ignorant believer in the Huashen Sect, and they were not qualified to know any secrets at all.

This little martial artist can't catch up with people because of his strength; But for Qi Yan, who has been hiding in the dark, following a person without being discovered is as simple as eating and drinking. This senior brother who is disguised as a little second brother has mediocre martial arts, but his skills are extremely flexible and agile, which seems to make Qi Yan capture a trace of the same kind of flavor from it.

drill an alley and steal a piece of clothing; Passing by the well, he washed off the makeup attached to his face; Go in and out of a shoe shop and buy a new pair of mid-range cotton silk boots; If this series of actions hadn't happened under Qi Yan's surveillance, he might have really been fooled.

Sure enough, this senior brother is a shrewd man! He obviously knew Shen Gui's true identity, so he didn't escape from the city immediately, but walked into a mid-range restaurant in a big way, asked for a plate of soft pork slices, a plate of fried peanuts, two taels of bud grain roast, and drank the wine by himself!

Medium appearance with medium stature, medium clothing and decoration, medium restaurant; Such a person, mixed in with the bustling crowd, even if there is a carpet search, it is very easy to be ignored.

But in Qi Yan's eyes, just based on his extraordinary popularity in the face of danger, he must not be the kind of clay leg born after broadening his horizons! Combined with the fact that the other party has maintained a very keen anti-tracking awareness at all times in the process of going all the way; After several comparisons, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion:

This senior brother of the Huashen Sect who wants to lead the crowd to ambush and kill Shen Gui is either from an old Jianghu background; Or a seasoned secret agent!

The sky gradually darkened, and Qi Yan, who was hidden in the dark, followed the other party to walk around Fengjing City for an afternoon! It wasn't until the bell rang to close the city gate that the old man walked unhurriedly towards the south gate of Fengjing City.

Out of the south of Fengjing City, he came to the bank of the Youhe River; Since this river is the largest inland river on Youbei Third Road, it will become a prosperous and lively place after the opening of the river every year. Although the city gate is now closed, the banks of the river are still bustling with small traders and hawkers carrying carts and burdens, and countless lighting braziers are placed along the river; Even above the river, there are a few more slightly shabby flower boats, as if there is a trend of a city outside the city.

After dark, most of the people who come and go here are ordinary people living outside the city, or coolies and boatmen who unload goods at night, as well as some fishermen and warblers, and foreign merchants who have missed the time to enter the city. Where there are crowds, there is soil for wealth. Although the money in the pockets of these night walkers was not much, they also had the same need to eat, drink, and lazar. Relying on small profits and quick turnover, coupled with the two advantages of not being able to enter the city at night and being less competitive, it is enough to nourish the night shop business on the bank of the Youhe River!

Qi Yan also followed this senior brother all the way to the riverside night shop on the bank of the Youhe River. Although this person is not amazing, I didn't expect this appetite to be really good! What kind of chicken soup wontons, frozen pears and persimmons, charcoal-grilled live fish, all the stalls that attract his attention, will always drop two silver coins and taste a bite of freshness! Looking at his leisurely appearance, he doesn't look like a dead man who has just done a bad job! If it weren't for Qi Yan's strong memory and accurate eyesight, it would be really easy to be dazzled and think that he was following the wrong person!

After strolling a night shop along the river from beginning to end, Qi Yan thought that he should go back to the inn outside the city where he settled to rest, and he could go back to the city to make a business; Unexpectedly, this senior brother would go all the way east along the river and leave the night shop where the inn stalls were crowded!

Qi Yan silently scolded in his heart: This dog's day didn't live in the riverside inn at all! It's not very good, and the brain is really a goblin!

As soon as the two walked east along the river, they walked for more than half an hour. It wasn't until a wooded hill appeared in front of him blocking the way that the other party stopped moving forward. He first looked back and looked privately, and suddenly he accelerated and leaped into the depths of the dense forest on the left. Qi Yan just wanted to go down the tree to chase after him, but with a roll of his eyes, he forcibly stopped his movements......

After another hundred breaths, the cautious elder brother reappeared and walked back to his original position. He opened his mouth and blew a muffled whistle, and soon after, footsteps could be heard deep in the forest on the right......

The two strangers, who suddenly appeared, stopped at the edge of the dense forest. The three of them looked at each other carefully face to face, and only then did the first one ask:

"How? Is it done? ”

"Missed!"

"Well, Lord Dharma Protector has already guessed this result, and I won't blame you. Wait, we two will let you in. ”

After speaking, the two strange men bent down and climbed the tree, and carefully lifted the noose and trap; Then he beckoned to the senior brother:

"Come in! Today, the No. 4 pit has changed its marking, but you have to follow our brothers! ”
