Chapter Twenty-Three: Assassins Never Have a Limit
When Yi Lian'er woke up, it was already dark. She saw Xu Anping pretending to shake his arm unintentionally, her face was even more blushing, and she hurried home to bring dinner. Watching Xu Anping eat Wowotou in one bite, his heart was full of happiness and extremely relieved.
"Lian'er, you can eat a little too."
"Oh, oh." Yi Lian'er nodded busily, almost hitting her head on the bowl she was up.
After dinner, Yi Lian'er packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went home. Xu Anping sat at the table and thought for a moment, and then lay down to rest after finding nothing. As soon as he was over, he got up and climbed over the courtyard wall to the agreed place. An hour later, Xu Anping arrived at the hunter's hut. He stood by the big tree in front of the hut, guarded with a dagger in his hand, and did not enter the room.
After another moment, a hoarse voice came from behind: "Where is Deng Yongming's head?" ”
"When I went to kill him last night, I was spotted by the night watchman. In a few days, I will give you the head. Xu Anping didn't look back and said calmly.
"What about the deed?"
"I want to see Daddy Yu first." Xu Anping turned around and stared coldly at the assassin.
"You think you can talk about conditions?" The assassin said lightly, mocking in his tone.
"If you fail to meet the deadline, I believe that the punishment of the Holy Alliance will come quickly." Xu Anping's eyes were indifferent, and his words hit the assassin's soft underbelly.
"Come with me!" With that, the Assassin turned and walked straight down the mountain, and after more than half an hour, he arrived at a house two miles away from Wangjia Village. Xu Anping followed the assassin over the wall and fell into the courtyard, he saw the assassin push the door directly into the hall, and knew that the family should have been killed, but he hurriedly followed.
"Yu Chongsi is in the compartment, hand over the deed." The assassin lit an oil lamp and stood at the table, looking at Xu Anping with a dagger in his hand.
Xu Anping didn't say much, he heard a faint breathing sound inside, so he threw the folded deed to the assassin, turned around to lift the curtain and walked into the cubicle.
The Assassin took the deed, unfolded it, looked at the oil lamp carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he was about to put it in his arms, when he suddenly heard the sound of rubbing against the rapid movement of the person behind his head, and quickly grabbed the dagger and stabbed it backwards. Xu An was parallel to the front, of course, he would not let go, his left leg was slightly bent forward, and he held it upwards in a row, avoiding the opponent's dagger and stabbing the assassin's ribs from the bottom up. The assassin didn't dare to be careless, and between the electric light and flint, his body slightly sideways avoided the dagger stabbed by Xu Anping, supported the ground with the sole of his right foot, and behind his left foot, his body twisted to the left and swung the dagger at great speed to pierce Xu Anping's heart. Xu Anping saw that the opponent's dagger was glowing with purple and black light under the oil lamp, and he didn't dare to touch it a little, so he quickly retreated and used the dagger to block the opponent's attack, and used his strength to retreat again, causing the assassin's footwork to be a little messy. The rabbit rose and fell, and the two fought for more than a dozen rounds, and the daggers made a piercing "clang, squeak" sound from time to time because of the collision, and the table and stool were also kicked or smashed into a pile of wooden blocks, but the winner was still not distinguished. Xu Anping saw that the opponent was a little impatient and seemed to want to escape, so he deliberately relaxed the rhythm of the attack. The assassin took a look, so he used the power of Xu Anping's dagger to stab him, and took it out of the door. Xu Anping saw that the assassin had stepped out of the threshold, and with a wave of his left hand, he directly threw out two embroidery needles.
As he ran through the courtyard, he felt two stabbing pains in his back in quick succession, and he didn't care, as long as he escaped from the courtyard, there was a way to treat the wound. He jumped onto the wall with a few strong steps, felt dizzy and his heart beat faster before he could jump, and then he fell into the courtyard, lying on the ground unable to move.
Xu Anping didn't pay attention to this when he saw this, and hurriedly returned to open the curtain and enter the compartment to check on Father Yu's situation, because he rushed too fast, he had no time to react when he heard the sound of the hidden weapon breaking through the air, and just subconsciously shrunk his neck. When the hidden weapon hit the ground behind him, he was afraid for a while, his bun had been pierced by a crossbow arrow smeared with poison, and he was about to die on the spot. It turned out that the Assassin had tied the crossbow switch fixed to the wall of the compartment with horsetail hair to the door curtain, and he only had to lift the curtain and pull off the horse's tail hair, and the crossbow machine would be activated to shoot crossbow arrows. At this time, he looked up and saw Father Yu, who was tied up and collapsed on the bed, and hurriedly rushed over to rescue. Walking closer, Xu Anping's eyes were suddenly cracked and his eyes were bloodshot, Father Yu was not only beaten to the point that his nose and face were swollen, there were still traces of blood on his mouth and nose, and his eyes could not be opened, and the assassin cut his wrist not long ago, and he couldn't survive because of the excessive blood loss. He hurriedly shouted with a crying voice: "Daddy Yu, Daddy Yu!" Wake up! Anping is here to save you! Wake up! At the same time, he kept slapping Daddy Yu's face, really unwilling to accept this result that he should have thought of.
After a while, Father Yu regained a little consciousness slightly, and said with difficulty: "Anping... Let's go, let's go... Yes! That person... I'm going to kill you. ”
After Xu Anping heard this, he couldn't stop crying. "Daddy, that person is gone, gone."
Father Yu's expression was relieved, his face was even more gray, and he muttered intermittently, "Oh, let's go... yes, yes... Anping, at home in the future... Is... It's up to you, take care of... Good lady... Lian'er... Little Tiger. No... Disappointed... Lian'er, the girl's life is hard"
Xu Anping nodded hurriedly, "Dad, don't speak, I'll take you to the doctor." As he spoke, he didn't care about wiping his tears, so he hurriedly picked up Daddy Yu and walked out, and suddenly found that Daddy Yu was not moving, and couldn't help crying. He knew that the home he had longed for most in his two lives was no longer complete, and that he had buried it with his own hands. He really hated himself, if he had been more careful, more ruthless, and had destroyed the Blood Hand Alliance earlier, Father Yu would not have died. "Ahh
Xu Anping burst into tears, grabbed the dagger with a look of resentment and walked out of the room, seeing that the assassin in the courtyard was not dead despite his shortness of breath and spasms. He dragged the assassin to the cubicle and threw it in front of Daddy Yu's corpse. "Daddy, I will definitely avenge you, I must have no place for the people of the Blood Hand Alliance to die! And that's just the first one. With that, he plunged the dagger into the assassin's chest and spun it vigorously. Blood frothed from the Assassin's mouth, and after a few "uh-uh" sounds, he was silent. Xu Anping gently closed Daddy Yu's eyes with his hand, and said softly and firmly: "Daddy, I will definitely take care of Auntie, Lian'er and Xiaohu, and I won't let them be hurt a little more." You can go with confidence. After saying that, he briefly searched the assassin's clothes, took the waist card envelope and throwing knife and other things into his arms, and then hurriedly threw the body into the ravine next to him, carrying the corpse of Father Yu on his back.
After more than half an hour, Tian Huaying came here with Mr. Wu and a few family members. "The people of the Blood Hand Alliance are sneaky about everything, and they have to meet here. You, go knock on the door. ”
A housekeeper knocked on the door, and when he saw that there was no response inside, he pushed it hard, and the door was pushed open directly, and he hurriedly retreated. Tian Huaying saw that the appointed time had passed, and couldn't help but curse: "These bastards, it's so unfavorable to take money and do things!" He also claimed to be the number one Assassin Order. I'm going to go in and what the hell is he doing. With that, he let the family explore the way in front, and then walked in. When they arrived at the hall and saw traces of a fight, several people were more careful.
"Young Master, you see someone here burned a piece of paper." Mr. Wu first found a broken teapot on the ground, two small pieces of paper and some ashes.
Hearing this, Tian Huaying hurriedly squatted down and took a closer look, only to see that the word "contract" could be vaguely identified on one piece of paper, and the other piece of paper had "Ming", "Zhongren He Changli", "Jianping... Qingping County Authority" and other words and a small half cinnabar red seal. He suddenly stroked his hand and smiled: "I know, it must be the assassin who stole the deed, but was tracked here and there was a fight, and then the deed was burned in the fight, and then it was doused with water from the teapot." The Assassin must have fled because he hadn't done what I had told him. This grandson is really more than enough to succeed and more to lose. As he spoke, he thought of one more thing, "Oh, no wonder someone from the Deng family went to report to the official today, saying that there was a thief in the house last night." Looks like that's right. ”
Mr. Wu was very nervous when he heard this, and he hoped that the assassin would come out of nowhere at any moment. "Young Master, let's go back quickly. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. ”
"Okay, go back first, and then find a way again." The group hurried away.
It's a pity that Xu Anping has already crossed the mountain and is returning to Yujia Village, otherwise he will definitely make these people a dilemma of life and death.
