Chapter 62: Night Shadow Warrior (Part II)
At night, there is not a single cloud in the sky, and a full moon sails in this endless sea, scattering a cold light alone, and the ground and tiles are dyed with a layer of silver-white, and the night is very quiet.
Wu Jin had been waiting for a long time on the glazed tiles at the top of the Frost Jutang Bell Tower, which was only two stories tall and located in a hidden place next to the library building, and the conditions for the ambush were very good, no matter which direction the assassin came from, it was within his range.
Wu Jin leaned on the white marble gourd stone, staring intently at a full moon in the sky, he seemed to fall asleep in the moonlight, but his slender eyes blinked from time to time, his gaze was hazy, revealing his deep thoughts, he seemed to be recalling his previous life, he wanted to think about the happiness, pain, and all the things worth remembering in his short life, and reminisced, he was reluctant to forget them.
Beside him lay a crossbow, a sword, and a jug of wine, half of which remained and the other half of the jug turned into a longing in his eyes.
He is waiting for the appearance of his prey, which is his favorite thing to do, he likes to be a yellow finch, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.
The moonlight was bright, allowing him to see far away, and the entire Frost Jutang was in his field of vision, and he could even see Guan Xianju's figure pacing back and forth in the distance being reflected on the window paper.
The wind is calm and quiet, and he can also hear far away, he can even hear the crickets talking about love on the path, but at this time, the crickets' love and love suddenly disappeared, as if interrupted by a reckless third party.
Wu Jin's gradually scattered gaze froze for a moment, vigilantly looking at the cobblestone path, his hand clenched the crossbow, and a slender black shadow appeared in his eyes, at this time it was already a watch, Wan Lai was silent, the scholars had already fallen asleep, the school was empty, the black shadow moved extremely fast, he was like a ghost, disappeared in the pine forest in an instant, and then appeared from the other end of the pine forest, and ran to the outside of the wall of the frost chrysanthemum hall in the blink of an eye.
Wu Jin's vision was covered by a thick wall, taking advantage of this gap, he opened the sealing iron plate of the magazine, and an iron bullet rolled into the magazine, his crossbow is actually a kind of box crossbow, also known as a sheep's horn crossbow, the magazine is like a sheep's horn in a thin curved barrel, containing five marbles, the box mouth has a reed iron sheet to control the seal, controlled with the thumb of the right hand, can shoot five rounds in a row in the shortest possible time, and there are two bullet slots, if you are skillful, you can even shoot two bullets in a row.
Wu Jin's light skills are not good, swordsmanship can only be barely regarded as a master, but in the speed of shooting crossbows, no one in the world can be on the right, when he was learning art in Laoshan, he once shot sixteen crossbow arrows in a row in half a cup of tea, and the army's professional crossbowmen can only shoot four arrows, this kind of high-speed shooting, so that his North Ironwood crossbow is like a semi-automatic rifle in later generations.
Today he uses a solid steel ball, a marble about the size of a lychee, fierce and sharp.
A black shadow gently climbed the wall three feet high, which made Wu Jin a little surprised, he didn't expect Feng Chayun's light skills to be so powerful, he slowly raised the crossbow, his pupils shrank into a line, aiming at Feng Chayun's legs, he was waiting for the best time.
Feng Chayun squatted on the wall, his sharp eyes wandered around, the surroundings were very quiet, there was no light in the room of the officials, they had already fallen asleep, and they had to pass through their room to enter the fourth floor, the floor had been locked, and they couldn't imagine that anyone could climb up from the outside.
Sure that there was no situation, the wind chasing the clouds was like a big bird jumping off the wall, but at the moment when he volleyed into the air, the best time for Wu Jin came.
Just listen to 'Click!' With a soft sound, a black steel bullet shot out like lightning, followed by another projectile, this is Wu Jin's special skill, called 'Double Bead Chasing the Moon', in the shortest possible time, two bullets in a row, almost giving people the feeling that they are shot at the same time, in fact, one before one behind.
Wind Chasing Cloud's feet were about to hit the ground, when suddenly he heard the sound of breaking the sky, he was worthy of being a shadow warrior, and as soon as his mind moved, the sword was swung out, 'Dang! While! With two crisp sounds, he actually blocked the two steel balls with the side of the knife in an instant, but the power of the steel balls was too great, and his wrist was sore, and the horizontal knife almost escaped.
Feng Chasing Yun was horrified in his heart, he knew that someone was plotting, he had already felt that the steel ball was coming from the northeast, he had just run a dozen steps along the root of the wall, and another sound of breaking the air sounded in his ears, the wind was shooting to his right shoulder, Feng Chasing Yun did not think twice, and waved his knife with his backhand, 'Dang! There was another crunch, and the ball hit the hilt close to the handle, and the ball bounced up, grazing his ear and flying over it, a hot pain.
The knife couldn't hold it anymore, it came out of his hand, and landed four feet away in front of the left, and the wind chasing the clouds was frightened, and in such a short dozen steps, it had been plotted three times in a row.
He knew that the fourth time would arrive in an instant, almost without thinking, he rolled to the left with a rollover, and reached out to grab the horizontal knife, but his left foot was not strong enough, and the speed of the bounce was so slow by half a beat, and the fourth bounce of Wujin arrived, as fast as lightning, and shot straight into the gap of his right rib, Feng Chayun couldn't dodge it anymore, he instinctively waved his right hand to shoot, 'Bang! With a bang, the steel ball hit the back of his hand, and only the sound of bones shattering was heard, and Feng Chayun's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted in pain.
But the survival of ** also stimulated his potential, he turned over, his feet on the ground, and he jumped up, like a night bird throwing into the forest, flying out of the wall.
But Wu Jin's fifth bullet didn't shoot, he slowly lowered the crossbow, the thick wall blocked his vision again, and when he saw the wind chasing the clouds again, it was the moment he ran into the woods, and soon, his figure disappeared outside the official school......
Wu Jin smiled a little proudly, today he brought his superb skills of the crossbow to the extreme, and in less than ten seconds, he actually shot four bullets in a row, which seemed to be a few points more clever than the previous Wu Jin.
He took the flask casually, drank half a pot of wine, threw the flask, disassembled the crossbow and put it into the box, and jumped off the clock tower, he first went to the base of the wall and poured a soak of urine happily, trembling all over, and then walked to the place where the wind chased the clouds and was ambushed, picked up the horizontal knife, this knife seemed to be very good, was hit three times and was unharmed, he let it go as if he had picked up the treasure, inserted it in his waist and walked away.
From beginning to end, he didn't alarm the eldest brother Weiming, nor did he alarm the gang of officials, but Wu Jin didn't expect that on the roof of the library building, a man in black was staring at him far away, she was slender and slender, covered with a black scarf, only revealing a pair of sharp and bright eyes, she was condescending, and put the thrilling ambush battle just now into her eyes, she looked at Wu Jin's back and walked away, her bright eyes were full of surprise.
But she looked at the dazzling urine stain on the root of the wall, and the surprise in her eyes turned into a trace of complaint, this bad guy actually ignores others, people are gone, and they have to leave their own smell, isn't this a dog?
She couldn't help but smile, with an indescribable tenderness in the smile in her eyes.
..........
"Impossible!" Changshi Xu Yuan slapped the table heavily, his face full of anger, "Su Hanzhen didn't bring such a martial arts strong person when he went to the post, he brought two staff members, both of whom are weak scholars, I know very well that we don't have such a master in Weiyang County." ”
At this time, it was already the next morning, in the inner hall of the Guan Mansion, several important people had arrived, the atmosphere in the inner hall was very depressing, Feng Chayun sat in the backlight of the corner, the black shadow cast by the roof beam covered the shame on his face, no one could see what he was thinking, was it anger or pain, or despair? The bone of his right hand has been shattered into eight pieces, and the best famous doctor in Weiyang County has also made up his mind that he cannot fully recover, and the best result of treatment is to be able to do some of the simplest things, such as eating, drinking, etc., martial arts are not to be counted on, for a samurai, this is his right hand is wasted, and now Feng Chayun only wants to know, who is the poisoner?
Changshi Xu Yuan's answer disappointed him, and his eyes fell on Old Man Guan again, Old Man Guan didn't say anything, he closed his eyes and ignored it, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, but Zhao Yiming, a scribe from the capital, spoke, "There is another possibility, it is likely that it is a master sent by the prince....."
He glanced at Feng Chayun, and said with a dry laugh: "Brother Feng's martial arts I know very well, the person who can defeat the Shadow Warrior will never be an ordinary person, and the prince has not only eight Shadow Warriors by his side, but also two national masters, since Uncle Shen can send Wind Chasing Clouds, then the prince will also send masters, what do you think?" ”
Xu Yuan snorted heavily, "It should be!" I know very well about Su Hanzhen's side, it won't be his subordinates, he doesn't have this kind of capable person in his hands. ”
Xu Yuan refused to admit that it was Su Hanzhen's arrangement, if tonight's incident was done by Su Hanzhen, it was his Xu Yuan's responsibility, the shadow warrior borrowed by Uncle Shen Guo was injured and became a waste, and he couldn't explain it to Uncle Shen.
