Chapter 119: This Is Just the Beginning
In the dark waterway, Li Ang held the fire fold, hunched over and walked in the narrow passage with a rancid smell, Li Yanzong followed behind him, holding his breath, he couldn't be as indifferent to such a smell like Li Ang.
Suddenly, Li Ang stopped, Li Yanzong also stopped, and then he heard the sound of water, the sound of water coming from under his feet. Li Ang squatted down and groped his hands in the waterway, Li Yanzong knew that he was looking for the mouth of the dark river, and hurriedly looked for it. After a while, Li Yanzong found it, "Lord, here." ”
Hearing Li Yanzong's voice, Li Ang ran over, looked at the lid in his hand, nodded, and then the two jumped down together, it was December, the water was cold and biting, as soon as the two entered the dark river, they held their breath and swam forward desperately, in the dark, the two just relied on a vague feeling to march forward, and in the map they looked, from the place where they entered the dark river, they could swim straight forward thirty zhang, and they could reach the well of the mansion.
Thirty zhang distance, not far away, not short, in the dark river, Li Yanzong felt frightened for the first time, that kind of pitch black and cold, as if he had sunk to the Yellow Spring, he didn't dare to think about it, just swam forward desperately, telling himself in his heart that Li Ang was in front of him, he was not alone.
I don't know how long it took, Li Yanzong saw the faint light, although it was very faint, but it did exist, he swam faster, and finally he reached the place where the light came from, where the dark river and the well communicated, he swam over, and then surfaced, he had never longed for the light as much as now.
looked at Li Yanzong, who suddenly surfaced. Li Ang shook his head, Li Yanzong was still affected by the Dark River Land. Losing his normal heart, the sound made by this is enough to alarm the outsiders.
Li Yanzong saw Li Ang's gaze, and at this time, there was a sound of people talking over their heads, and Li Yanzong knew that it was his movement just now that alarmed the people, and he immediately sank into the water.
Two Persian heads poked out of Inoue. They took advantage of the moonlight to look carefully into the well, but they could not find anything, Li Yanzong floated up again, this time his movements were extremely light, without making the slightest sound, he saw Li Ang again, he was still in the original shadow, as if he was one with the darkness.
Li Ang nodded at Li Yanzong, and then swam to the center of the well. He took out a roll of cords from his waist. One end fell with a block wrapped around a coarse cloth subway block. The well where the two of them stayed was a large well, the wall of the well was extremely deep, and if they wanted to draw water, they needed to use a winch, which was right above their heads, and it looked very small. Leon shook the rope out of his hand.
The rope with the iron piece of cloth was on the arm of the winch wheel, and it went around several times, Li Ang pulled it and looked at Li Yanzong, in terms of light body kung fu, he was by no means as good as Li Yanzong, who had been practicing ninjutsu in the mountains since he was a child, and this job could only be done by him.
Li Ang sank into the water, supported Li Yanzong's feet, and slowly floated. Pulling the rope, Li Yanzong stepped on the palm of Li Ang's hand that surfaced. A little on tiptoe, pulling the cord. He climbed up, and his speed was extremely fast, like a snake swimming, and Leon was stunned to see it.
When he was about to reach the wellhead, Li Yanzong's body suddenly jumped in the air, put his hand on the edge of the well, did not make a sound, he cautiously popped out of his head, scanned the darkness around him, and only after confirming that no one was there, did he turn over and go out of the well, remove the thin rope from the winch arm of the water place, wrap it around his hand a few times, and then throw it down the well again.
Looking at the rope that was thrown, after Leon grabbed it, he gently climbed along the rope from the water, until his body was all out of the water, he moved bigger, turned over and went out of the well, only to see that the lonely yard was pitch black, and there was not even a ghost.
Stepping on some thick snow, the two sneaked to the study, looked at the corridor where no one was around, Li Ang nodded at Li Yanzong, Li Yanzong bowed his body, ran to the door of the study, took out two thin iron rods from his waist bag, inserted them into the door lock, and fiddled with them, but after a while, he opened the lock, although the lock is quite delicately designed, but for a person like him who has dealt with all kinds of door locks since childhood, this is really nothing.
Li Yanzong was about to push the door, but suddenly stopped, he saw the extremely thin black line in the door gap, if he pushed it open just now, the door would definitely touch the black line, what would happen then, he couldn't think of it. Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, Li Yanzong slowly opened the door, and when the door was about to touch the black line, he stopped, and the part of the door opened at this time was only enough for a teenager to enter.
Li Yanzong frowned, and scolded the person who did this organ half to death in his heart, before he was worried about his feet, took a sharp breath, and rushed in, fortunately, his body was small enough, and he knew some bone-shrinking qigong, so he barely got in. After closing the door again, Li Yanzong removed the alarm bells at both ends connected by the black line, and then looked at it carefully, until he was sure that there were no other organs in the study, and then he opened the door of the study again.
Li Ang watched Li Yanzong open the door again, his eyes moved, his figure had already jumped out, and when he put it in the study, he heard Li Yanzong's explanation. "Lord, there were some small organs just now, so I delayed some time."
"It's okay, let's find something first." Li Ang patted Li Yanzongdi on the shoulder, and he had already arrived at the desk, and with that little moonlight, he turned things up, and the movements of the two of them were very small, and everything that had been turned was finally placed exactly the same as before.
The contents of the bookshelf and desk were quickly rummaged through by the two of them, and there was nothing suspicious, and the book was put back in its place, and Leon looked at the cabinet beside him, which was locked.
Li Yanzong knew what Li Ang meant, he walked to the cabinet, took out the two thin iron rods from before, inserted them into the keyhole, and fiddled with them, but this time he missed, he couldn't open the lock, and he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.
Li Ang, who had been watching, frowned, and suddenly he pressed Li Yanzong's shoulder and made him stop, he stared at the lock, thought about it, and pulled it away. Li Yanzong looked at the cabinet door that was opened, stunned, and realized that the so-called lock was just a façade, and it was just for decoration.
"I've seen this kind of trick before." Looking at Li Yanzong's admiring gaze, Li Ang said lightly. Then he looked into the cabinet, and saw that there seemed to be a few books such as account books in the cabinet.
Take out the books. Li Ang and Li Yanzong walked to the corner of the wall and shadows, lit up the fire fold, and looked at the contents inside. After only reading two or three pages, Li Ang's floor color became incomparably cold, and Li Yanzong beside him
His face was pale, and his voice was a little trembling. "Lord, this."
As soon as he extinguished the fire, Li Ang took the books into his arms, looked at Li Yanzong with a cold gaze, and his voice was as cold as a knife, "Forget everything you just saw for me, understand?" ”
"Yes, Lord." Li Yanzong hurriedly said after a while, he had never seen Li Ang's terrible eyes, and he was stunned for a while. When he came back to his senses, he realized how terrible the things recorded in those scrolls would be if they leaked out.
"Now. Let's go out and kill this Kongdai. "Li Ang felt the short knife behind his back, he would never let Kong Dai live, the fewer people who knew about the things on these scrolls, the better.
"Yes, Lord." Li Yanzong replied and followed Li Ang out of the study. The two of them reached the inner courtyard together.
Looking at the calm and abnormal mansion, Li Ang's eyes were full of fierce light, all the people in this mansion were going to die, and when he was about to reach the inner courtyard, Li Ang looked at Li Yanzong beside him, and made a killing gesture, "Chickens and dogs are not left." ”
Li Yanzong was stunned, then turned around and ran to a few rooms not far away, and Li Ang carried a short knife into the inner courtyard. He suddenly felt a faint murderous aura, and he stared sharply at the dark corner of the courtyard. A black-clad Persian walked out, with a scimitar in his hand, staring coldly at Leon.
Li Ang didn't talk nonsense, he knew that this swordsman must have been sent by the Persians to protect Kong Dai, looking at Li Ang who swung his knife and went up, the Persian swordsman, with a look in his eyes, hurriedly waved his knife to block, he didn't expect that the attack of the Han people in front of him was so fast and fierce, and there was a suffocating dead air.
The dull short knife slashed an arc in mid-air, and suddenly disappeared in front of the Persian swordsman's eyes, the Persian swordsman was horrified, and then he knew that this black-clothed masked man was not something he could deal with, and he was about to open his mouth to shout, but he found that his throat was cold, and he couldn't make any sound, and his throat had been cut.
Looking at the corpse of the Persian swordsman with his eyes open and an incredible expression on his face, Li Ang gently put him down, this Persian swordsman should not be weak in martial arts, if it was placed four months ago, he would still need to spend some hands and feet, but now, it is just his enemy, wipe the blood stains on the knife, Li Ang walked to the room in front.
Li Yanzong ghostly touched into the third room, in the first two rooms, there was no longer a living person, he walked up to the few Persians who were still sleeping by the bedside, sneered, covered their mouths and noses, and the short knife slid through their necks, as if cutting the necks of chickens. Li Yanzong carried the bloody knife out of the room, he remembered that there were seventeen Persians in this house, he had killed thirteen people, and there were still four night watchmen left to be killed.
Leon gently pushed the door open, his movements were very light, but the person on the bed was still awake, and it could be seen that the person must have been unable to sleep steadily. Leon frowned and simply took out the fire fold and lit it, and the sudden light of the fire illuminated the room, and he could see clearly the man who stood upright.
Ordinary, ordinary middle-aged man's appearance, this is what Li Ang saw, this man looks like those middle-aged men who are desperately running around for their wives and children to be fed, and seem to be a little prematurely weakened, if he didn't know his details, Li Ang thought that he would definitely be deceived by this man's appearance.
Kong Dai looked at the cold young man standing in front of him with a knife, and seemed to understand something, he didn't say a word, and then the woman next to him woke up, it was a very beautiful Persian woman, so beautiful that most men had a kind of desire to possess her when they saw her. The woman also saw Li Ang who was carrying a knife, and she was about to scream in fright, but she was covered by Kong Dai beside her.
Looking at Kong Dai, who was speaking Persian to appease the Persian woman, Li Ang's eyes were cold, and he never spoke, just looked at this lingering pair of men and women.
"Leave her alone, I'll go with you." Kong Dai couldn't stand Li Ang's cold and disdainful gaze, and his voice trembled a little.
Li Ang didn't speak, but just took out the book from his arms, and suddenly Kong Dai's face turned dead white, and his eyes were gray, he already understood that the young man in front of him was not here to arrest him, but to kill him.
"Can you let her go?" Kong Dai looked at Li Ang, his eyes were full of pleading, he loved her, for her, he betrayed his country, and he always hoped that she could live happily.
"Nope." Leon's voice was cold, he had never been a soft-hearted person, and his determination never changed.
"I see." Kong Dai's voice calmed down, he didn't think about jumping up and fighting with the cold young man in front of him, but he knew that if this young man could enter here quietly, it meant that the Persian swordsman master was dead, and he was killed by the young man in front of him, and he didn't even have time to shout, he knew how good that Persian swordsman's kung fu was, and even he was not an opponent, let alone himself.
"Can you let me do it myself?" Kong Dai glanced at the woman beside him and asked Li Ang quietly.
"I don't like killing women." Li Ang replied coldly. Hearing his answer, Kong Dai's hand stroked the face of the Persian woman beside him, his movements were gentle, and there was indescribable love in his eyes, his hand slowly slid down, reaching the slender and elegant neck, and his hand slammed into her throat.
Seeing the anger in the eyes of the struggling Persian woman gradually dim, Leon looked at Kong with a calm face, not knowing what this man was feeling in his heart at this time, he suddenly felt that he was a little gossipy.
Letting go of the woman's neck, Kong Dai looked at Li Ang, "Can you bury me with her, this is my last request." Looking at him, Leon nodded.
"Okay, you can come and kill me." Kong Dai hugged the Persian woman and sat up straight, he closed his eyes with a vague smile on his face.
Leon walked over with his knife, the blade slid across his neck, blood gushing out, and when Leon turned around, the man and woman who were hugging each other had fallen on the bed, as sweet as ever.
Walking out of the courtyard, Li Ang saw Li Yanzong, the knife in his hand was full of blood, and Li Ang knew that the other seventeen Persians were all dead. "Let's go!" He nodded, and walked into the distance, his knife unsheathed, this winter night, only the beginning of the killing, far from the end.
