"Hey, Captain Liu, you see two fat monks sitting there." A patrolling soldier finally found something interesting out of boredom.

Captain Liu turned his head and glanced at it, and said, "It's true, this kind of person is rare in Pingzhou City." You say that these monks eat vegetarian food every day, how can they still grow so fat? ”。

Several of his soldiers discussed: "What the captain said is that many hungry people are hungry now, and monks should not grow meat if they eat vegetarian food every day, I guess they must be eating meat secretly behind their backs!" ”。

Captain Liu smiled and slapped the back of the soldier's head and scolded: "Fart! You're talking about a flower monk, who not only eats meat and drinks wine, but also plays with women! Go, brothers, idle is idle, go and tease them, and see if these two happen to be flower monks. Hold it back, don't laugh. ”

Several people pretended to be menacing and walked in front of the two monks who were sitting in front of the roadside tea stall and bowing their heads to drink tea.

"Bang Bang Bang" Lieutenant Liu knocked the steel knife in his hand on the desk and scolded: "You two, where did you come from?" What are you doing here? ”。

The two monks put down the tea bowl in their hands and looked at each other, with a hint of panic in their eyes.

A soldier pinched his waist with both hands, stepped forward with a straight face, and said: "We have been paying attention to you for a long time, you two are acting suspiciously, I suspect that you are spies sent by the imperial court!" ”。

The expressions of the two monks stiffened, and large beads of sweat rolled down the corners of their foreheads.

Captain Liu tried his best to hold back a laugh and shouted fiercely: "Open your baggage, we have to check." ”

The two soldiers behind him secretly muttered: "It's fun to open the baggage to find the woman's belly pocket, hehehe."

The two monks hesitated and stretched out their hands to the baggage beside them, and the two nodded slightly to each other. Suddenly, he pulled out the bright steel knife at the same time, turned around and slashed at the soldiers beside him.

Captain Liu died very unjustly. Before he could figure out what was happening, his head was on the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

A few soldiers on the periphery finally reacted, panicked, shouting and holding spears to surround them.

The two fat monks moved flexibly and ruthlessly, not at all like they were sitting there just now.

In the blink of an eye, none of the ten soldiers were killed by the two of them, and the two of them, carrying bloody steel knives, picked up their burdens and scattered their legs, turned a street corner, and disappeared from people's sight in an instant.

Guan Yu was ordered by the leader and military advisor to the scene of the crime surrounded by a large group of guards, which had been tightly sealed. He examined the corpses one by one, and couldn't help but be shocked: the killer's tricks are ruthless, leaving no room for anything, several people are fatal with one move, and they will never drag the mud and water, which shows that the killer is definitely not very human and has extremely deep martial arts.

Back in the meeting hall of the prefecture and county, Guan Yu made a detailed report to everyone.

Liu Qian was surprised: "Two monks? Monks don't burn incense and worship Buddha in the temple, but run here to kill people on the street? It's weird! ”

Shi Junshi stroked his long hair, frowned, and said, "Obviously, we are going to hold a meeting of the Righteous Alliance, and some people can't sit still. This patrol soldier accidentally knocked us down, no matter who sent it, it can't be just this group! ”。

Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "According to the junior brother, it should not be a simple assassin, but a person in the martial arts."

Liu Qian said: "We have never had much contact with the people in the martial arts, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. How could they suddenly strike? ”

Shi Junshi said: "According to the sixth brother, things are even more difficult! In any case, it is necessary to be more vigilant in case of accidents. ”

Guan Yu nodded and said: "What the second brother said is very true, I think there are more repeating crossbows and archers, and the city gates will step up the investigation." The leaders participating in the meeting should also strengthen protection, avoid melee combat as much as possible when encountering killers, and use hard crossbows to strafe. Big brother needs to be guarded day and night. ”

Shi Tiangong shook his head and said: "I'm in the open and the enemy is in the dark, I'm afraid that I can't guard against it!" ”。

Guan Yu said with a smile: "The two brothers don't have to worry too much, no matter how cunning the killer is, he must live in the hotel, eat, and step on the plate in advance." I will follow today's clue, follow the vine, and take the initiative. ”

Late at night, a team of soldiers with torches shuttled back and forth in the streets and alleys of Pingzhou City.

Cui Dakui walked over to Guan Yu, who was dressed in a night suit, and said, "General Guan, the shopkeeper of this store said that two monks lived in yesterday, and it was the one upstairs with the lights on. As you commanded, the crossbowmen were laid in ambush, and they were not disturbed. ”

Guan Yu nodded, and said to Cui Dakui: "Listen to me, just your three-legged cat's kung fu, don't get close, hide away." I'll just go myself, and if someone jumps out of the window, I will shoot them immediately. ”

Cui Dakui said uneasily: "Why don't you send a few good brothers to follow you?" ”

Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "I may not be able to beat it if I really do it, but I am confident that General Ben's kung fu is first-class!" Someone is following and getting in the way. ”

Under the dim oil lamp in the room, two shiny heads were whispering together.

"Senior brother, I don't think it's appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's get out of the city as soon as possible!"

"What's the panic? Didn't you just kill a few patrolling creeps? Pingzhou City is so big, how can it be so easy to find us? What's more, they haven't figured out where the leaders of the Taiping Army are staying and the route of action, so how to do it then? ”

"No, I'm just panicking. Let's go out of the city in disguise early tomorrow morning, and leave the task of investigating the situation to the disciples of Wangjiangmen. ”

The two of them were so engrossed in their discussion that they didn't notice that a black shadow hung upside down on the eaves outside the window, gently piercing the lattice paper and sticking into a thin bamboo pipe. A faint colorless and odorless smoke erupted from the bamboo pipe, which gradually dispersed in the air.

With a "bang", a basin of cold water was poured on the fat monk's bald head, and he shivered violently and tried to open his eyes. In front of him stood a little white face dressed in black, with a smile on his face.

The fat monk wanted to stand up suddenly, but found that his hands and feet had been firmly fixed to an iron chair with iron chains, and he couldn't move at all.

Xiao Baimian slowly spoke: "The two little masters slept very sweetly." Now that you're awake, let's talk about it, why did you kill the patrol soldier? What do you want to do when you come to Pingzhou City? ”

The fat monk snorted coldly and scolded: "Despicable villain! Use this kind of indiscriminate means, have the ability to let go of me, and fight with me with real knives and guns! ”。

Xiao Baiyan bent down slightly and said with a smile: "Your requirements are too high, right?" It's not enough to lack your own heart, but also to ask others to be as lacking as you, is there such a truth in the world? Besides, if you really fight alone, are you sure you can beat me? ”。

At this time, the fat monk's junior brother also woke up and shouted in panic: "Senior brother save me!" When he saw that his senior brother's situation was as miserable as his own, he immediately closed his mouth.

The great monk spit out a mouthful of cold water that flowed into his mouth, and said proudly: "Since it has fallen into the hands of the thieves, if you want to kill it, you can kill it!" In the blink of an eye, I'm a bastard! But you die of this heart, don't even think of asking a word out of my mouth! ”。

The little white face changed color and said, "There is backbone!" Come on, Cui Dutong, since the two little masters regard death as home, each of them first brings a basin of water to clean their bodies, so that they can completely clean the six roots, and then pick off the tendons and tendons of the hands and feet, and wait for death slowly with the two. ”

When the two monks heard this, their faces turned pale and they were dumbfounded.

Cui Dakui pursed his lips and turned away viciously. A moment later, the two soldiers carried two large wooden basins, filled with water, and placed them at their feet.

Cui Dakui came back with a blanket, slammed it on the table, spread it out, and took out all kinds of strange knives from it one by one and held them up in front of him and carefully selected.

The young junior brother collapsed instantly, crying, "I don't want to be clean!" Don't cleanse me, I say, I say! I'll say everything. ”

"Senior brother, you ---" The fat monk was about to say something, but he was punched by Xiao Baimian, and with a "bang", he was smashing on his temple, and he fainted instantly.

The two disciples of Wangjiangmen heard the code agreed in advance, packed up, and ran over from their hiding places. When he got closer, he was suddenly stunned, and the opposite side was not a monk, but a little white face dressed in black. The two suddenly felt that something was wrong, and they drew their swords and rushed forward at the same time. Unexpectedly, the man in black did not look panicked at all, and steadily drew two swords from his back, and came first, swinging his sword at the two of them.

The two disciples of Wangjiangmen were very surprised, the black-clothed man with the sword had flexible footwork, his body shape was strange and erratic, and the two swords were like spiritual snakes, elusive, and the strength of the two of them did not have the upper hand at all.

The three of them were fighting fiercely, when they suddenly heard a neat and heavy rumbling footsteps. The two disciples of Wangjiangmen looked fixedly, but thousands of soldiers with bows and crossbows surrounded them.

"Senior brother, it's not good, hurry up!" One of them shouted and turned around and jumped out of the circle, and jumped towards the wall while the crowd of people in all directions had not yet formed a circle.

The disciple who was still fighting hard couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the shout. With this stunned effort, the black-clothed man holding the sword jumped into shape, and the sharp sword in his hand pierced his lower abdomen, and the tip of the sword pierced through his body and was quickly pulled out. The disciple threw away the steel knife and covered the intestines that flowed out of his abdomen with both hands, spitting blood from his mouth, and the severe pain made him cry out loud.

The Wangjiangmen disciple who had just jumped onto the wall heard the terrible screams of his junior disciple, and couldn't help but stop his body and look back. At the same time, I wondered in my heart, how could there be a buzzing sound of a large swarm of bees in my ears in the middle of the night. While seeing his junior brother spurting blood from his mouth and falling to the ground, he finally figured out the origin of the bee-like buzzing sound, which turned out to be the sound of thousands of flying crossbow arrows tearing through the air. His body seemed to be thrust by an invisible giant palm, and the big head rushed down from the wall and fell to the ground, and the person was already shot into a sieve before he fell to the ground.

Guan Yu looked down at the corpse under his feet, and then ran over to take a closer look at the other corpse that was covered with arrows and lying motionless on the ground like a hedgehog. He stood up and said with a smile: "What is looking at Jiangmen, kung fu is so commonplace, it really disappoints General Ben!" ”。

The leader of the Taiping Army, "Thor" Gao Jinbao, escaped a catastrophe because of his slow marching speed, as the saying goes: the early bird has worms, and the late worms ---- no birds.
