"Yes, this matter still has to be discussed slowly." The wolf exorcist smiled and nodded.

"How do you take a step back?" Su Yue said in a deep voice, still not putting down the gun in his hand.

"I want the four of us to accompany Senior Sister to kill the one surnamed Lin, but the result is the same as before, we are all hanged, and only Senior Sister is left alone to escape with her life." The wolf-repellent's strange laughter was extremely infiltrating, and Su Yue's hairs stood on end when he heard it, "So this one, we must not obey our fate." At most, the four of us will introduce the senior sister for a period of time, and let the senior sister settle her wish on her own, and then the four of us will come to the senior sister to do something, how many of you think? After the wolf exorcist finished speaking, his gaze swept over the other three one by one.

"Brother Ba is very good at this, and I agree with both hands." The blind violinist clapped his hands and laughed a few times.

"What about Brother Liu and Brother Luo?" The werewolves turned to the black-robed knights and the hunchbacked peasants.

"Okay, that's a good idea." The black-robed knight also happily agreed. The hunchbacked peasant nodded in agreement, but remained silent.

"If my sister killed the one surnamed Lin and took his head, do you still want to kill my sister?" Su Yue glanced at Zhu Xueyan and asked loudly.

The black-robed knight pondered for a while, and finally said: "I came by order, and I didn't ask for the reason, but if we can clear up the grievances of the senior sister...... he looked up at the other three and sighed, "We definitely can't be the master in this matter, but we can help the senior sister to deliver a message to the chief rudder, if the chief rudder agrees to cancel this order to chase and kill, then of course it would be better." ”

Zhu Xueyan understood what he meant, and also knew that he was acting on orders, and there was no way. Doing so is already taking a big risk for yourself. I couldn't help but have a look of gratitude in my eyes.

"That's it. The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, I, Zhu Xueyan, am here, thank you for the four. Zhu Xueyan stepped forward as she spoke, slowly pressed down Su Yue's arm raising the gun, and clasped her fists and saluted the four of them.

"The bird meat is all roasted, senior sister, please." The wolf exorcist laughed and took a few steps forward to the fire. grabbed a skewer, bit the roasted bird meat, and then raised his hand, and five skewers of roasted birds shot Zhu Xueyan and Su Yue and the five people.

Su Yue instinctively grabbed the bamboo stick, looked at the bird meat that was roasted on it, and frowned slightly, while Zhu Xueyan unceremoniously opened her cherry lips, bit the bird meat, and ate it.

He has lived outside the village for many years, and he is good with the son of the Taoist family. It made Su Yue's original daughter of the mountain people feel a lot less rude, and she didn't want to eat this rough food. But seeing that the old servant, the two porters and Zhu Xueyan were all eating deliciously, and the eyes of the wolf exorcist were always staring at her, she understood what kind of expression it was to eat this meat, so she was ruthless and opened her mouth to bite it.

The wolf exorcist smiled, no longer looked at Su Yue, but continued to chew on the bird's meat.

"In addition, tell Senior Sister that the masters who have to be ordered to kill Senior Sister are not the only four of us." The black-robed knight simply did it to the end, and told Zhu Xueyan an important news, "I estimate that these people should also go to Shanhaiguan now." ”

"Without further ado, Senior Sister, you hurry up and follow me to see my father." Su Yue was taken aback when she heard this, dropped the half-eaten roast bird in her hand, and said.

"The road ahead was ruined by a flash flood, and now you can't go to Heifeng Village, Yue'er, don't you know the son of the Taoist family? I begged him to help me think of a way, recruit manpower, and rush to repair the mountain road. When the mountain road is opened, you hurry back to the village, help me make a front stop, and I will go to visit Uncle Su again. Zhu Xueyan was very calm, "Now I have to go back to the city to see if those people can help me." ”

"Good!" Su Yue was anxious, she looked at the gray sky outside and the pouring rain, and her heart couldn't help but be secretly anxious.

When Zhu Xueyan returned to Shanhaiguan City, the heavy rain had stopped.

Zhu Xueyan wrapped herself tightly in a black cloak to hide from the chaos in the streets. The long street is narrow and irregular, making it crowded. A stall with two pieces of old pork stretched out horizontally, a third of the width of the street, and three or two flies flew around the red, stinky flesh. The wheeled carts that carried the goods were one after the other, and the bluestone that paved the streets was old and smooth, and the copper-clad wheels had worn out deep ruts, and when the cars turned over these bumps, the bells under the wheels made a tiny tinkling sound in the bumps.

As she crossed the street, she ran into a group of Bo nobles, so she patiently gave way to the side of the road. The twelve ladies who pulled the cart were expressionless, their heads bowed, and the cords on their shoulders were tightened. The windows of the car were tightly blocked, so that the humble commoners would not see the noble faces of the Bo nobles.

She left the sunlight and entered the inn, where she was immediately plunged into a darkness. Without saying hello to the sleepy proprietress at the counter, she went straight up the steep, straight wooden ladder at the back of the hall to the second floor.

The hallway was small, dark, and smelled of old mustiness, and she pushed the door to her room, which was locked.

She stabbed the lock. The little man, who seemed to always have infinite treasures, lay lazily on the bed, his withered hand hanging on the ground, and she could see that it had only four fingers in the glimmer of light peeking in through the nailed wooden window.

She stepped out of the window, the light was brighter, and she could see that the short man's throat had been slit and the blood was running dry. She was silent for a moment in front of the bed, the obedient old craftsman, a shrewd and able businessman, whose pockets were like a crumpled gray bottomless pit that could never be exhausted, and now he had been quietly killed.

Blood soaked the entire bed, and beneath it, a circle of blackened smudges was slowly expanding. Zhu Xueyan left the room and walked down the creaking stairs, and the fat woman lying on the counter raised her head to look at her, and lowered her head with a grunt. The bloated woman had fluffy black hair that hung out like a hedgehog on her head. She knew she was a notoriously difficult figure on the street. Except for her hair, she was still charming, and as long as she didn't smile, she didn't look very old—and if she did, the merchants would estimate that she was about 200 years old.

Zhu Xueyan didn't seem to want to pay attention to her, looked ahead and walked out, but when she walked past the counter, she suddenly stretched out her left hand. Grab the boss's hair. Lift his head off the counter. She bowed her head. He put his mouth into the ear of the still ignorant boss and said, "He's dead, let's bury him well!" She threw a thin piece of gold leaf at the counter and walked out of the store without looking back.

The dazzling sunlight of the west slanted into Zhu Xueyan's eyes. She squinted and looked around, then quickly turned and disappeared into the hundreds of crooked alleys of the city.

The sun was still spewing flames, but it was already inevitably covered in a faint layer of dust. Under the bright but heat-deprived sun, the dusk of Shanhaiguan, the largest military defense fortress in the entire northeast, is approaching.

When the night became dark, Zhu Xueyan had already walked to an inconspicuous door in the depths of the alleys in the city. A wall of blue bricks stands behind the half-open black lacquer gate, making it difficult to see how many exits and entrances there are inside. This is probably the mansion of the gentry and high-ranking officials of the previous dynasty, and the stone lions crouching in front of the peeling paint door have worn out so that they can't see their heads and faces. Zhu Xueyan walked to the front of the courtyard, and saw a tall and mighty man squatting on the bluestone steps in front of the stone lion, who was carelessly wiping a big axe with a ball of hay, although he was only squatting, the huge body almost blocked the entire entrance, and a bench was half-stretched out of the door, and on the bench lay a young man who was as thin as a snake, closed his eyes and slept, but put a long sword that also looked like a snake under his head.

She was stunned for a moment. Realize what's going on here. These two bodyguards seem to be slack, but the murderous intent in the secret is like an elongated bow. Tight and straight. There was another emotion that she felt, and that was anger, an anger that had been humiliated and mocked. Zhu Xueyan, who had figured it out, chuckled silently, of course she guessed the source of this anger, because she remembered that the people who came to the door were not the two of them, and now there was no trace.

Zhu Xueyan knew that these two people were by no means idle, and she could clearly see the seven dragon patterns printed on the muscles of the big man's right shoulder, which was a brand that only the most powerful Seven Seas Gang killers could have. With this brand, no matter which gang he encounters at sea, he can pass unhindered.

Zhu Xueyan put an iron plaque in front of the big man. The tall and strong nodded, the young man on the stool never opened his eyes, but Zhu Xueyan could feel the cold murderous aura emanating from her body, which was cold to the bone.

It seemed that the young man's idea was even tougher than that of the big man—of course she knew that it was not an easy sightseeing experience, and that this seemingly ordinary courtyard was actually killing every step of the way, every gray brick, every rafter, every pot of green plants, and I was afraid that there was a mechanism that would kill people in an instant.

Two maids with lanterns were waiting for her. They led her through a long, dark brick road, and she could see the swaying shadows on the rooftops on either side, the blades in their hands glittering in the moon. At the end of the corridor was another corridor, and she felt like she had passed through the overlapping walls, dense flowers and trees, and gravel paths, and finally came to a three-bay hut.

Two delicate copper oil lamps hung from the beams in the middle of the room, sprinkling orange beating light into the room. Twenty men with crossbows in their hands stood on either side, all dressed in thick iron armor, staring at her vigilantly with only a pair of fierce eyes. The maid didn't know when she retreated, and two large men who were shirtless and showed off their muscles came over and tried to search her, not noticing a flash of anger on her face under the cloak. The big man stretched out his hand full of fluff, but it didn't touch her body, they only felt a shake in front of their eyes, and as soon as their wrists tightened, they lay dizzy on the blue brick floor with a bang. In just an instant, twenty sharp, blue-glowing arrowheads were aimed at her entire body. She stood with her hands on her hands, as if she had nothing to do with the twenty archers. She looked up at the dancing flames of the oil lamp, her shadow swaying with it on the walls and on the faces of the archers.

Two coughs came from the back of everyone's arched trunk, "Do you know why they wear iron armor?" The voice said slowly, "for they are afraid of injuring themselves—" the voice continued slowly, as if it had to travel hundreds of miles to reach the dark room, even though the person who spoke was in the room, "and even then, when they fired together at the center of the room, half of them would probably be killed by their own arrows." ”

"It's the iron crossbow used by the eight departments outside the Guan, right? I heard that it can fire 20 arrows in a row, and the arrows are like a raging storm. Zhu Xueyan said lightly, everyone could hear her tiredness, "It's really difficult for anyone to avoid it in such a narrow place - just wearing iron armor may not be useful." I wonder how your arrows are better than foreign guns? The Seven Seas Gang is now on land. I heard that the name was changed. It's called the 'Shanhai Gang', are you reluctant to spend money to buy foreign guns? ”

The voice was silent for a few moments before saying, "Let her come." Zhu Xueyan heard the faint anger in it.

The iron armor parted like a moving wall, and the gang leader slowly emerged from the shadows, his knife-like chin covered with a dense stubble of short stubble, and curly black-haired angry lions that covered his neck and shoulders. He held a sword in one hand, and sat like a king in a huge wooden chair befitting his status. This once mighty king of the sea of darkness was born to belong to the dark. Wang Ruiyang, the leader of the Seven Seas Gang with countless dead soldiers, the only remaining right eye is glaring at her.

He glared at her with an angry face, and said slowly, "Who the hell have you provoked?" Your enemy actually has the energy to mobilize the ironclad warship and the killers of Dongying? Who are you? His three questions were one after the other, and the tone of his voice was slower than the other, full of threats. The crossbowmen who understood his temper trembled at these words.

Zhu Xueyan did not answer. She raised her hand and took off the hood of her cloak, and under her long black hair was a young, thin, and beautiful face, but her eyes were actually bloodshot, which looked a little weird. Her face was full of exhaustion, but it was difficult to hide the innate nobility.

Wang Ruiyang's one-eyed gaze stared at the noble eyes that symbolized the royal family of the previous dynasty for a moment. At that moment, the black skin blindfold on his left eye seemed to be looking at her darkly. At last. He finally snorted and said, "I can't help you—you'd better get out of here after dawn tomorrow and go overseas." The one surnamed Lin is definitely not something you can afford to provoke. ”

"Old Man Huang, you received a thousand taels of gold from me." Zhu Xueyan smiled faintly and said.

"This deal is null and void," Huang Ye said with an indisputable gesture, "you have something to hide from me - I want to take care of the whole port, this port has countless poor people living hard lives, and they need peace." I don't want to take my ground into some court fight. ”

Zhu Xueyan still had a faint smile, and she asked unhurriedly: "In Shanhaiguan City, can Huang Ye's words not be counted?" ”

Huang Ruiyang leaned back in the chair and looked Zhu Xueyan up and down again. He moved his hand to stop the angry and restless crossbowmen. He suppressed his anger and said, "If it's just a person from the Heaven and Earth Society, I can still handle it." But the cannons on the ironclad ships are not something I can handle. He let out a heavy sigh, "Otherwise, the Seven Seas Gang wouldn't have run off to land." ”

"Old Man Huang, ironclad warships and cannons are difficult to deal with, but warships can't go aland." Zhu Xueyan stared at Huang Ruiyang closely, "Now that Huang Ye and the brothers who are running around the sea, the great enemy is in this Shanhaiguan City, doesn't Huang Ye want to take revenge?" ”

"Of course I want revenge, but I've also heard that you have repeatedly assassinated him, and all of them have been lost, and none of you have survived, except for you, who have survived." Huang Ruiyang sneered, "What, don't you want to try again when you come back to Shanhaiguan this time?" ”

"Of course." Zhu Xueyan heard the sarcasm in Huang Ruiyang's words, but she was not angry, she raised her face, and after a moment of sinking, she revealed her inherent arrogance. She arched her hand and said, "Since Old Man Huang is worried, forget it." Let us go to our own way, every mountain. ”

Huang Ye snorted unhappily, ignored Zhu Xueyan's disrespect to her, and asked, "Do you have friends here?" ”
