Chapter Seventy-Six: Lu Bu's "Shadow" (First Update)
In the late autumn of Luoyang City, after nightfall, the evening breeze is cool. The chirping of crickets in the corners of the alley, and the silence was broken by the flashes of several dark shadows.
Seven or eight men in black came to the gate of a house in the deepest part of the alley, the door was not large, there were no lanterns hung, and the gate was closed.
The men in black looked for a sign in front of the door, "Here, there is a mark." A man in black shouted quietly.
Several other people gathered around and confirmed that it was correct, "Action!" A tall man in black waved his hand, and several people put on masks, all of which were animal patterns, led by a tiger head mask.
Except for one who was left to guard the door, all of them climbed in from the walls on both sides, and their skills were very agile and they landed silently.
There are three courtyards in total, the east and west wings of the courtyard on the first floor are all living in this person, there are more than ten people each, and three of these black-clothed people each enter the wings on both sides, and soon a slight sound sounded in the room, and soon the black-clothed people all retreated and made OK gestures, why would the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty use OK?
The west wing of the second courtyard is dark, and the east wing is still lit, the black-clothed people are squatting under the windows, and only the tiger-faced people led by the tiger-faced people are at the door of the east wing with the lights on, knocking on the door rhythmically, two long and two short.
Soon the door opened, and the tiger-faced man flashed inside. There was only a thin middle-aged man in Tsing Yi in the room, who was looking at the visitors. The tiger-faced man was not verbose, and opened his mouth and asked, "Are you Tang Zhou?" ”
The man in Tsing Yi nodded hurriedly, "It's a villain, are you?" ”
"Master Li sent us, the target is still here?"
"Yes, I just finished drinking a little wine and fell asleep, and tonight is my night." Tang Zhou replied in a whisper.
"Okay, show us the way, and then, you can go, remember what Master Li told you, and someone will give you the antidote."
"Yes, yes, the little one doesn't dare to forget, come with me, the target is in the backyard, and he lives alone."
Tang Zhou led these black-clothed people to the backyard, and the tiger-faced man pointed to the opposite wing, "Is there anyone in that room?" ”
"Back to my lord, it was supposed to be again, but I was sent to Yecheng in the afternoon."
"Oh, okay, go to the backyard."
Under the leadership of Tang Zhou, the group came to the backyard and saw that the bedroom was pitch black, and it seemed that they had fallen asleep.
As soon as the tiger-faced man waved his hand, the two black-clothed men came to the door lightly, gently pried the door bolt with their sabers, and then raised their feet and entered the house, not wanting to make a noise, as if they had kicked something?
As a result, a shout immediately came from the room, "Who's outside?" Someone! ”
Seeing that the two men in black had been exposed, they broke in directly, and soon there was the sound of fighting and the collision of tables and chairs in the room.
Suddenly, a black shadow broke through the window, jumped out, and tried to run, but the tiger-faced man was not flustered, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw out a flying knife, which hit the black shadow's ankle, and the black shadow immediately snorted in pain and fell to the ground.
The rest of the black-clothed people rushed up, and the three times and five divided by two tied them up. At this time, the two black-clothed men also chased out of the house, and seeing that they had caught the person who had escaped, they hurriedly knelt down on one knee in front of the tiger-faced man, bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes.
The tiger-faced man looked at the masks on their heads, "Wolf Eight, Wolf Ten, how do you usually train?" When you enter the door, why don't you watch your steps and go back to the adults to receive the punishment. ”
"Whoa!" The two men hurriedly responded.
"Light the torch, I'll confirm the target." Someone next to him lit a torch, and someone pushed the captured person into the light.
The tiger-faced man took out a portrait from his arms, compared it, confirmed that it was correct, and called Tang Zhou to let him recognize him. Tang Zhou didn't dare to look at him, he glanced at it quickly, and replied: "He is Ma Yuanyi, the divine envoy of Taiping Dao." ”
When Ma Yuanyi saw Tang Zhou, he understood everything, "Tang Zhou, you villain, you dare to tell the government?" You traitor, if the great sage and good teacher knew about it, he would not let you go, and the ends of the earth would hunt you down. ”
"No, you are not from the government, how can the officials of the government dress like this? Still wearing masks, who are you? ”
The tiger-faced man sneered, "It's the right master, you don't need to know who we are?" Your great sage and good teacher won't know that Tang Zhou betrayed you, and we still have something important for him to do. ”
Seeing that Ma Yuanyi was still scolding, the tiger-faced man stepped forward, stretched out his left hand to pinch his chin, and his right hand pulled out a dagger from the side of his leg, and suddenly stretched it out into Ma Yuanyi's mouth, stirring it a few times, and actually cut off his tongue.
Ma Yuanyi spurted blood from his mouth, but he could only make a strange sound and couldn't speak. The tiger-faced man said calmly: "Give him the wound medicine, and before you give it to Lord He, you can't die." ”
His subordinates seemed to be surprised, and someone poured medicinal powder into Ma Yuanyi's mouth to help him stop the bleeding.
Tang Zhou was already frightened by the tiger-faced man's methods, and the tiger-faced man smelled a smell of urine, and waved his hand in disgust, as if to drive away the flies that had been coming.
"Tang Zhou, you go through the back door, this is a token to go out of the city, Xiaolan of Yihong Courtyard, Lord Li has already redeemed it for you, settled it, you have made a contribution, you will meet him, let's go."
After speaking, he handed over a token, Tang Zhou put it away, thanked the tiger-faced man, and quickly left through the back door.
After Tang Zhou left, the tiger-faced man ordered people to search the house, and soon his subordinates found a large number of gold and silver treasures in several boxes, as well as some letters.
He asked people to take away the gold, silver and jewels that could be taken away, and to take away the good ones, and to keep the letters that could not be taken away. He looked at the scene, and then faced his subordinates, all of them were big bags and small bags, "You all go, I will hand over Ma Yuanyi to Lord He personally, and I will go back, there is no need for Lord He to see so many of us, it will only add to the trouble." ”
Everyone bent down with great effort and went to the room to leave. Only then did the tiger-faced man take out an agreed fireworks token and cast it into the sky. A firework appeared in the night sky of Luoyang City.
Soon, the footsteps of a large group of men and horses were heard in the alley, and the sound of horses' hooves and the clashing of armor and weapons was heard far away in the quiet night.
A large group of heavily armed Han soldiers broke into the door, and of course the courtyard gate was just a cover. They took out more than 30 young men who had been beaten unconscious from the wings on both sides of the front yard, and also searched a large number of weapons of all kinds.
There are more than thirty weapons, but three hundred are enough. There was no one in the middle yard, and when they reached the last floor, they saw a few torches planted in the courtyard, which was much brighter than the front yard.
There were two people in the middle of the courtyard, and a man with a disheveled hair was kneeling on the ground with a big tie, covered in blood. Standing next to him was a tall man in black with a tiger's head mask.
The soldiers did not understand the situation, but they did not dare to slack off, and rushed up and surrounded the two people. One of the chiefs was about to step forward to arrest the man in black, and a loud shout came from behind him, "Stop, get out of the way, do you dare to touch anyone?" ”
Shi Chang turned around, but saw that it was his top boss, so he hurriedly stepped aside, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
