Chapter 747: Shocked by the Conspiracy (Part II)
Not only is the southwest region geographically poor, mountainous and rugged and narrow roads, but the climate is not more comfortable than in Jiangnan and other places, even in this late spring season, it is extremely hot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info especially when the dark clouds cover the overhead, with the dull thunder, people feel even more sultry.
In such an environment, people tend to feel uneasy, especially if there is something on their minds. After wandering back and forth a little uneasily in the guest room of the inn, Hugo felt depressed in his heart, and waved open the window to see if there was any wind to come in.
The brothers he sent to contact the local Jinyi Guard had been there for most of the day, and it was almost dark, but he didn't see them come back to restore his life, which made him feel a little uneasy. Today, Lord Servant handed over such an important errand to himself, and he naturally had to do it with his heart, but he couldn't make the slightest mistake.
After a little hesitation, Hugo finally made up his mind that when it was completely dark, if they did not return, he would go out to look for it. Don't let these brothers get caught up in some of the local people.
Just as he was thinking about this, several black shadows took advantage of the cover of the night and thunder, and quietly climbed over the courtyard wall that was not too high, and touched towards their rooms little by little. These people are wearing night suits that facilitate movement at night, and the swords they carry are coated with a layer of ink, which makes it more difficult to detect their presence, and they are obviously people who are used to sneak attacks in the dark.
After taking a look at the emptiness of the courtyard, the men in black moved more neatly, and with the sound of thunder, they rushed to the outer wall of the guest room, and clinged to the wall, and then slowly moved towards the window with their backs against the wall.
Before, these people had already asked about their identities and the purpose of their stay in Pingle from the mouths of the brocade guards who had gone out, and after knowing that they had become suspicious of this place, these guys had already made up their minds to eliminate all the enemies that threatened them.
Inside, Hu Ge didn't seem to notice anything wrong outside, because he felt stuffy, and there was no wind outside the window, so he could only turn around and come to the table, take a tea bowl, pour a large bowl of tea that had cooled in the teapot, and pour it into his mouth.
And just as he was looking up to drink water, the black shadows that had been hiding outside the window suddenly moved, and this was a great opportunity to enter the house and attack the other party. He was facing away from the window, and there was thunder to cover him, as soon as he got close, assassinating him was a matter of raising his hand.
Without a moment's hesitation, the two men in black had already pressed on the windowsill, and then jumped into the house, and then, with a little footstep, their bodies had already flown over, and the short knife in their hands stabbed straight at the vital point of Hu Ge's back.
These two people are the number one killers in the White Lotus Sect, and many people who are enemies of them, whether they are in the officialdom or people in the rivers and lakes, have died under their assassination because of a moment of carelessness. They were already very experienced in such assassinations, and when they pounced on them and swung that knife, they could already imagine what the outcome would beβit would be the target's blood splattered and the corpse on the spot. In order not to attract the attention of the others, the two of them also skillfully covered Hugo's mouth with their other hand, so that his dying screams would be muffled into his mouth.
But this assassination was obviously very different from what they thought! Just as they waved their hands to cover their target's mouth, Hugo's body suddenly shifted and gave way to their hands. At the same time, his feet were pinned straight to the ground, but his body fell forward like a tree that had suddenly been felled, causing the two stabs that had been stabbed in his back to fall into the air.
This change greatly surprised the two killers. One trick failed, and the two couldn't help but be stunned, and in such a moment, the whole situation was completely reversed.
Just as the man fell forward and was about to touch the ground, Hugo's right arm slammed down, supporting his body, and at the same time, with the power of this support, his lower body suddenly bounced up.
"Bang! Bang! The two bounced feet opened their bows left and right, and kicked the two killers in the chest, kicking them straight back. At this time, the other person had quickly flipped back, and at the same time, there was a bright and dangling short knife in his hand.
With just one lunge, Hugo was already in front of one of them. When the man was angry because he was kicked in the chest, the knife in his hand was stabbed out with all his might, hitting the opponent's heart with all his might. Immediately, with another twist and pull, a stream of blood shot out directly.
But the blood did not even touch the hem of Hugo's clothes, for at the moment when he drew his sword, he had already flashed in front of the other man, and the knife in his hand was already in the man's throat. As long as he exerted a little force, the man's throat would be completely sliced, just like a chicken or duck waiting to be slaughtered, and there was no room for resistance. It was only at this time that the first killer slammed to the ground with a scream of pain.
From the time the two killers stole into the house to the time they attacked, it was only a blink of an eye, but the roles of the two sides had been completely reversed, and the fish and flesh had become knives. This change made the remaining killer feel a little dazed, and he didn't even care about his own situation, just stared at Hu Ge in a daze, and didn't know what to do for a while.
"Who are you?" But Hu Ge would not forget the current situation, and pressed the knife against the other party's throat, causing a trace of blood to come out, and then asked in a cold voice.
In order to win this person, he took a lot of effort.
In fact, when these people sneaked into the courtyard, although there was thunder to cover it, they were still detected by the alert him. But he was not in a hurry to break it, but simply invited you into the urn. pretended to be defenseless, and even turned his back, just to lure them in and then carry out a surprise attack. As a result, everything was expected by him, and the two killers were killed and captured.
Only a person like him, who is extremely skilled in both martial arts and calculation, would dare to take such a risk. Otherwise, if there is a slight mistake in the middle, the result will be different, not only will he not be able to get people, but he himself is likely to be injured by the enemy.
After being cut by the knife, the killer finally recovered from the shock, and only smiled strangely at Hu Ge, and his neck met the blade. At this moment, Hu Ge didn't expect that he wanted to avoid it but was a step too late, only to see that with a sneer, the killer's throat was completely slit, and then with a muffled snort, the person fell to the ground. The blood then flowed out quickly, and the person was silent.
Hu Ge was surprised for a moment, but then he thought about why the other party was so decisive. Because he thought of a point, since he had encountered an assassination here, wouldn't the situation of the brothers in the next room be the same? Those brothers didn't have as much effort as him, and they weren't as careful as him.
Thinking of this, he did not pause any longer, and immediately ran out of the wide open window, and ran straight towards the courtyard on the other side.
But just as he ran to the courtyard gate, a dull scream came from the courtyard next to him, which was the sound of someone covering his mouth. This made Hugo's heart even more anxious, and his steps ran faster towards the courtyard over there.
However, after he climbed over the courtyard wall more than half a person high, entered it, and saw the situation inside, his hanging heart returned to the same place. The situation here was very different from what he thought, although someone died, but it was a killer in a night suit who died. However, he still stared at one person with some surprise: "Didn't you go out of the city with the adults?" Why are you still here? Eagle Fly. β
In front of him, Cai Yingyang, who crushed the killer's Adam's apple with one hand, so that he could only let out a half-scream, smiled: "The second brother brought me back, and he said that he didn't worry about being here." β
"It's not that I'm worried about you, it's that I'm worried about the other brothers." Before Cai Yingyang's words fell, the courtyard door was also pushed open from the outside, and Yang Zhen dragged a fainting killer in.
"Your Excellency......" Hu Ge, as soon as the other brothers in the courtyard saw him, they hurriedly bowed their hands. At the same time, a question also arose in their hearts, how could their own adults know that there was a change here, and they actually came in time?
Just half a day ago, Yang Zhen noticed that someone was following him, so he used the excuse to touch it. Those stalkers were no match for him, and they were all knocked out by him with just one shot. Then, these people faced the methods of the most skilled torture Jinyiwei.
It didn't take long for these people to reveal their identities and other things they knew. After learning that they were actually White Lotus Sectists, and that their leader Xu Chongshan had already known that he had left his brother in the city, Yang Zhen immediately took Cai Yingyang back to Pingle.
Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the inn, he saw these sneaky killers. So he and Cai Yingyang separated and followed behind them, and before they could attack the Jinyiwei brothers, they gave them a first strike.
Only Hu Ge was here, because he believed in his ability, Yang Zhen and the others neither rushed to help, nor did they warn early. But now it seems that his judgment is still very accurate, and Hugo really does not need their help.
After listening to this explanation, Hu Ge and the others all looked solemn: "My lord, according to what you say, this place has indeed been controlled by the rebels of the White Lotus Sect?" Also, is it true that we have received news that there will be chaos in the southwest? β
Yang Zhen also nodded solemnly: "I'm afraid that's the case." And that Qu Zhifu should also be an insider, or even a conspirator. Now, the situation here in the southwest is very complicated. Although he said that, there was no fear in his eyes, but he looked a little excited.
