Chapter 40: The Man in Black (1)
On a mid-June evening, there had just been a rain in the sky, and it was not raining much, but it was enough to sweeten the somewhat stuffy air. It smells refreshed.
Tonight the moon was full, and there was silence in a huge house in the town of Yamabara, except for the occasional barking of the dog in the courtyard, and the man who watched the dog followed the sound of the dog barking to look at the roof, and the moonlit courtyard was bright at this time, but there was no movement in sight. Looking back at the dog, he snorted a few times and stopped barking, and there seemed to be a trace of doubt in the dog's eyes.
"Haha! Wangcai, are you hungry? I'm going to get you something to eat. The man saw that the dog stopped barking, and said with a smile.
Wangcai seemed to understand the man's words, wagged his tail and laughed, and led the dog to the kitchen.
After a while, a dark figure on the roof slowly stood up, this person was wearing a night suit, carrying a simple knife wrapped in black cloth, walking on the roof with a hunched body, without making the slightest sound, presumably it was an excellent light skill! Following the continuous rooftop, he maintained a very fast pace and rushed towards the middle courtyard.
The middle courtyard is a large courtyard, the room is concave, the middle is a lotus pond, at this time the lotus leaves are luxuriant, the lotus seeds have grown, the center of the lotus pond is a pavilion, the corridor of the pavilion is connected with the house, there are three people in the pavilion in the lotus pond, the middle is a middle-aged man in a Chinese costume, while peeling the lotus seeds, while talking to the person in front of him, behind him is an ordinary soldier wearing light armor and holding a spear. The man in black walked slowly to the eaves of the corridor and stopped more than two meters away from the pavilion.
"Haha! With that said! This Xu County Order is really an interesting person! The old man laughed when he heard the man in front of him.
"Yes! Lord Wang, presumably it was Xu Ang's idea to spread rumors around the city! Chen Ye's straw bale son definitely couldn't think of such a strategy. The man in front of him said, it turned out that the person who was peeling the lotus seed was the King of Qi himself!
"Hmmm! When I saw this person today, I felt extraordinary, sent you to collect information, I didn't expect that there would be news in this half a day, and now I am employing people at the time, this person is extremely stupid, and the Shanyuan County Commander is also his student, these two people have a virtue, and then they need to plan well, if this Xishui County Command can be in the bag, it will be a big help to us! King Qi said
"That Xu Ang has some reputation in Lingfeng City, and the information collection is very fast, and it is enough for the flying pigeon to pass the book back and forth for half a day." The person in front of King Qi said
"Good! You step back and make arrangements! You know how to do it! King Qi said, the man quietly retreated, the man in black looked down at the eaves of the corridor, the moonlight was bright, and he just saw this person's face, but he didn't know it, if Xu Ang was here, he would know who this person was!
King Qi sat there and didn't know what to think, peeled off the lotus seeds in the lotus canopy one by one, and put them there neatly, but he didn't eat them, and after a while, he opened his mouth to speak, but the person behind him had a solemn face, made a silent gesture, walked in front of King Qi, walked two meters forward, and stabbed the spear in his hand to the roof!
The man in black heard someone coming, and just stopped under his hiding place, and said to himself, "Not good! This man is a master! He didn't hide his figure, took out the Pu knife from his back, shook his hand slightly, shook off the black cloth wrapped in it, and at the same time left the place with both feet, and the sergeant's spear suddenly stabbed into the air!
The man in black flew out from one side, ignoring the sergeant, landing on the lotus leaf a little, and stabbing forward with a knife at King Qi! The sergeant looked back, and it was too late to come forward to rescue, so he stabbed the spear out of his hand, only to see the spear flying straight forward for a distance and then stuck on the pillar on the side of the pavilion, just between the man in black and the king of Qi, the figure in black stagnated, and the speed slowed down, at this time the sergeant stepped forward and pulled the king of Qi and the two of them took a few steps back, and the man in black returned to the pavilion from the railing a little, and the sergeant took the spear to protect the king of Qi behind him. The men in black and the sergeants looked at each other warily across the table.
If Xu Ang is here, he must be amazed, the sergeant looks a little dark, and the protector is like protecting the ball, and the water does not leak! It looks like Henry!
The man in black saw that he had met a master today, and if he wanted to kill the king of Qi, he would have to kill the sergeant first, and without saying a word, he kicked the table and flew in front of the sergeant and smashed it, and his figure rushed forward with the table.
The sergeant's spear was lit on the table, flicked to the side, the table fell into the lotus pond, the two fought, and the two suddenly felt that each other was good, but this pavilion was smaller, but the spear could not exert the power it should have, and after more than a dozen rounds, the man in black had the upper hand, and the man in black saw an opportunity to pick up the knife, and the spear in the sergeant's hand was picked off, and he was happy in his heart.
When I saw a smile on the corner of the sergeant's mouth, I suddenly felt bad! After the plan, the sergeant saw that the spear could not exert its due power, and he was ready to give it up in his heart, so he deliberately pretended not to do it and showed a flaw.
The man in black picked up the knife, and the knife was not in time, the sergeant took a step forward and slapped a palm on the hand of the man in black, the palm was vigorous, the man in black did not grasp the knife tightly, the sergeant pinched the palm of his hand, changed his palm to hold the knife in his hand, and slashed the knife on the left arm of the man in black with a backhand, Rao is man in black took a step back, which was also a knife to the point!
Seeing that Pu Dao was snatched away, his left arm was injured, and the other party's martial arts were not under him, the man in black did not hesitate at all, flew out of the pavilion, clicked his feet on the lotus leaf a few times, and his figure disappeared.
When the sergeant saw the man in black fleeing, he did not pursue him, but watched him go away. King Qi watched from behind the man in black and almost killed himself, but now that he was injured and left, the sergeant did not chase after him, and he was very annoyed in his heart and said
"Li Yi! Why didn't you chase him and kill him when he was injured! ”
Li Yi glanced at the Pu knife in his hand, there was nothing special, it was just a Pu knife used by ordinary people, this person was very skilled, and his mind was not dizzy, and he would flee immediately if he couldn't hit it. When such a skilled person came to the Qi Palace's assassination, where would he leave any clues for them? So he said with his backhand holding the knife behind his back
"This person is better than me, I can't catch up, and we don't know if he has a fellow party, if he has a fellow party and I'm not there, only half of such a person will be there, King Qi, you will be in danger today."
King Qi woke up when he heard this, in case he was in danger if he diverted the tiger from the mountain, or Li Yi's choice was correct. But I didn't see a trace of disdain in Li Yi's eyes, how could a person like King Qi achieve great things!
