Chapter 212: Murder

The moon was in the middle of the sky, sprinkling thousands of clear glows, and in the quiet alleys southeast of Beihai City, Gongsun Lan and Wang Yuan used the cover of the houses and trees to quickly pass through. It was very inconvenient to sneak in the moonlight, but fortunately, Gongsun Lan had stepped on it in advance, or in order to take care of Wang Yuan, she chose a relatively safe route that was very remote, so that she was able to gradually approach Qian Santong's mansion.

The alley was silent, except for a few barking dogs in the distance, and the sound of the night watchmen of the big families in the high walls next to them could almost be heard, which made people feel even more nervous. In the shadows between the trees and the walls, Gongsun Lan and Wang Yuanyuan met and talked quietly.

"The one by the river at the end of the alley is Qian Santong's house, and when I came in the evening, there were three unknown people roaming in the dark near the left, and it should be Ji Wen's people who monitored Qian Santong. I'll have to explore the way to see if they're still around, and if they are, I'll either avoid them or I'll have to think of something else. Gongsun Lan spoke in a low voice, and her warm and fragrant breath blew on Wang Yuan's face, and her lips almost touched Wang Yuan's face.

Wang Yuan didn't have the heart to enjoy this beautiful moment, frowned and whispered, "Are you going alone?" ”

Gongsun Lan said: "I don't know how they are doing, if they are close to the left, I am afraid that you will alarm them, so I will go and see them alone." ”

Wang Yuan nodded, this is not the time to take care of his self-esteem, although he is no longer a powerless person, but on this occasion, in this situation, he is far from being competent.

"You have to be careful." Wang Yuan only said these four words, reached out and shook Gongsun Lan's hand, Gongsun Lan struggled slightly, and saw that Wang Yuan held it tighter, so he simply stopped struggling.

"Stay here and wait for me to come back."

Gongsun Lan spoke softly. Turning around, his toes were light, and his body floated up to the top of the high wall in the south like a goose in the clouds, although he was wearing men's night clothes, he was still graceful and elegant, and he was beautiful. Wang Yuan looked up at her posture and recalled the first time he saw Gongsun Lan in the Plum Garden. Under the same moonlit night, the same shock. It's just that they were strangers at the beginning, but now they seem to be dependent on each other, and what a wonderful life experience.

When Wang Yuan's thoughts were circulating, Gongsun Lan's figure had already leapt like a cloud and disappeared from sight. Wang Yuan pricked up his ears and listened nervously to the movements around him, he didn't want to hear any strange sounds, which meant that his whereabouts were exposed, and he could only return in vain tonight.

After about a stick of incense, Wang Yuan felt that there seemed to be something strange behind him, and he turned back suddenly, only to see Gongsun Lan's figure falling lightly from the high wall behind him, quickly approaching, hiding in the shadows.

"You're very progressive, I wanted to test how alert you are, and I was going to go behind you and slap you on the head to scare you, but I didn't expect you to feel it." Gongsun Lan panted slightly and spoke softly.

Wang Yuan laughed silently: "Cousin, you have also learned to be naughty, but you look up to me, in fact, I am not a martial artist, but just smell the unique fragrance of my cousin." Although my cousin's martial arts are strong and come and go without a trace, this fragrance can't be hidden. ”

Gongsun Lan took a sip, and suddenly frowned: "It's not good, then won't my whereabouts just now be exposed?" Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "That's not necessarily, only I can smell my cousin's smell, and others are afraid that they can't smell it." ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "Did you give birth to a dog nose?" How can you smell it? ”

Wang Yuan said: "Where the love is, where the heart is, I don't hear its shape, but I feel it." ”

Gongsun Lan was stunned, gritted her teeth and threatened: "You are talking nonsense again, have you forgotten how I warned you?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Don't talk about it, what's the situation." ”

Gongsun Lan came back to her senses and frowned: "It's a bit tricky, those people should take turns to monitor here, and they won't leave for twelve hours a day." I roughly touched it, and there were still three people hiding in the shadows at the moment. One was in the locust tree at the front gate of the compound, one was in the bushes next to the courtyard wall, and one was on the roof across the alley. If we want to enter the house of Qian Santong, it is impossible not to be discovered by them. ”

Wang Yuan said: "My cousin has a countermeasure. ”

Gongsun Lan said: "I don't have any good way for the time being, it's impossible not to alarm them." Either you have to go around to the north, but if there are still people in ambush on the north side, you can't get close to it. Besides, it's almost three days now, and it's going to take a big circle around the north side, and if you encounter anything else when you get there, you'll be in vain tonight. ”

Wang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "If you don't go around, just go over here." These three roadblocks were directly removed, so as not to get in the way. ”

Gongsun Lan shook her head and said: "It's easy to say, the three of them are hiding in the shape of horns, and they also take care of each other." Their martial arts are ordinary, and it is easy to kill one person, but they will be immediately discovered by the other two. Once I find out, it will cause shock, and I don't have the art of clone, so it's difficult to solve them at the same time. ”

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said, "I have a way, my cousin came over with his ear." ”

Gongsun Lan put the letter in his ear suspiciously, Wang Yuan said a few words in a low voice, Gongsun Lan frowned and thought, Wang Yuan said a few more words, Gongsun Lan finally nodded and said in a low voice: "Then you have to be careful." ”

At the end of the alley, the mansion of Qian Santong built near the water is very magnificent, one of the best in Beihai City. But under the moonlit night, the Qian family's mansion seemed a little depressed at this moment. The two wind lamps in front of the door swayed gently with the night breeze, and the moonlight diluted the red light emitted by the wind lamps and turned into a miserable white light, which was extremely uncomfortable to look at. The whole house seemed to be shrouded in an ominous atmosphere.

In the shadows of the alley, a figure dressed in a black night suit with a blade behind his back appeared sneakily in the moonlight, walking towards the closed gate of the money house step by step. The man's whereabouts were instantly discovered by three people hiding in ambush.

The cuckoo's night cry came from the locust tree, the night cat from the roof opposite, and the squeak of rats from the trees near the river. The three of them completed the exchange in this way.

The night walker who appeared in the alley was unconscious, still sneakily looking around and approaching the wall of the Qian Mansion, unaware that the three people hiding in the locust tree, on the roof, and in the bushes had quietly appeared, and slowly outflanked him.

The night walker finally reached the bottom of the high wall, took out the rope grappling hook from the package behind him, looked up at it, and wrapped the rope around his hand, gesturing at the height and angle, as if to throw it upward. Suddenly, he stayed where he was, because he noticed that three black shadows had appeared behind him at some point and blocked him under the wall, and three long shadows were dragged out in the moonlight and slowly squirmed closer.

The night walker was frightened, and although his face was covered, he could still see his frightened eyes, and he looked overwhelmed in the face of the three people who were slowly approaching.

"The three strong men, I just want to make a fortune, beg the three to spare, brother, I will leave, and I will not mess around in the territory of the three from now on." The night walker bowed his hand and whispered for help.

The three figures were silent, and only slowly drew their blades, and the snow-bright blades shone in the moonlight.

"The strong man spares his life, brother, I really didn't mean it." The night walker whispered to himself.

"Don't resist, just let us go and ask you, and then let you go. Otherwise, you will be killed on the spot. The dark shadow in the middle spoke in a hoarse voice and spoke in a low voice.

The night walker was stunned and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go with you to ask, but I want to live." ”

"Untie your blade and hand it over." The hoarse voice whispered.

The night walker whispered in agreement, slowly unwrapped the package behind him, took out the sheathed steel knife, turned the handle and handed it over. The hoarse black shadow shook its head slightly, and the black shadow on the left took a few steps forward and slowly stretched out his hand.

The moment his fingers touched the hilt of the knife, the Night Walker's hand suddenly shrank back, leaving him empty, not grabbing anything. I saw the night walker throw up the sword and sheath, and turned around in the air, and with a bang, the steel knife was already out of the sheath. The body jumped up suddenly, and a sword-like sword light went straight to the door of the black shadow who stepped forward to take the knife.

"Bastard thing." The hoarse voice was low, and the person next to him was about to rush forward, when he suddenly felt the sound of the wind above his head, and raised his head suddenly, but saw a slender black image of a dark cloud blocking the moonlight, flying from the tall tree behind him to the sky overhead, and then a silver light came quickly.

Between the lightning and the fire, the hoarse-voiced man raised his knife and tried to hold the opponent's blade, the black shadow in the air turned, his body flew over, and his toes swept silently, and he heard a soft sound of Kala, and the body of the hoarse man fell to the ground like a broken bag, and his temples were sunken by an inch, and he was kicked and shattered.

All this happened in a few breaths, the companion standing on the side just reacted, and found that the companion had fallen to the ground, and his choice was very correct, instead of choosing to rush up and attack, he retreated backwards, opening up the distance and preparing to escape. A slender black shadow in the air landed gently, and his right foot picked up a steel knife on the ground, and his left foot flew on the hilt in a row. The steel knife flew towards the fleeing man with a whining wind, and plunged straight into the back of his heart. The man let out a hoarse cry and fell to the ground.

The slender black shadow turned around, and the fight under the wall was just over, and the black shadow caught off guard in front of the night walker was slowly falling to the ground holding its throat.

The sound of a dog barking from inside the high wall, the hoarse bark of a man before he died just now alarmed the dog, the two looked at each other, and the night walker under the corner of the wall pointed to the bushes by the river, and the two immediately moved the body to the bushes and hid it. After a few moments, the barking of the dogs stopped, and everything returned to calm.
