-- Time goes back a moment --

It was night, dim and dark, and although there was still a waning moon in the night sky, there was not a bit of moonlight that could shine through the dark clouds on the earth.

At the Xiakou Taiping Army barracks, two Taiping soldiers standing guard in the camp yawned tiredly. It's no wonder, after all, these days, Xie An and Liu Qing have really tired the soldiers on both sides in order to seize the initiative.

In the distance, there were several noises, and one of the guards standing guard glanced at it and said without a word, "It's started......

He was referring to the fact that many Taiping soldiers in the battalion were already preparing to cross the river by warship.

"Hmm." The companion who stood guard with him answered, and said in a low voice, "Although this is the plan of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Deputy Marshal Wu to divide the troops, how can you escape...... It's unsettling! ”

"That's right......"

The two Taiping soldiers sighed secretly.

In order to avoid shaking the morale of the army, Liu Qing did not tell the tens of thousands of troops in the army that Wu Heng had a conflict with her, and even wanted to use Xie An's hand to eradicate it, so the whole Taiping army thought that the division of troops was a method that Liu Qing and Wu Heng came up with for the sake of the overall situation.

You must know that Liu Qing and Wu Heng are not only the relationship between the commander and the general, but also the relationship between the lord and his subordinates. Therefore, even if Liu Qing knew that Wu Heng wanted to kill him, for the sake of the overall situation, it was not good to tear his face with him.

"It's a bit strange to say, it stands to reason that as Her Royal Highness the Princess, she shouldn't have stayed at Hukou as a bait and entangled with that bastard named Xie An, the commander of the Zhou Army! - Why didn't Vice Marshal Wu stay at Hukou and Her Royal Highness the Princess set out to fight for Jiangdong? ”

"How do I know?" The companion rolled his eyes, just about to say another word. A dark figure reached behind him, reached out from behind and covered his mouth, and then stabbed him through the back of his vest with a dagger deliberately smeared with ink.

I saw that the Taiping sergeant's eyes widened, and before he could do anything, his eyes gradually lost their color.

Even the victim didn't even react for a moment, what a neat assassination technique!

"You say, could it be that Vice Marshal Wu and Her Royal Highness the Princess had a conflict?" The Taiping sergeant standing guard didn't know that his companion had already been assassinated, and still chattered, "I'll tell you." The army has been secretly discussing this matter recently! ――It is said that Vice Marshal Wu has always been at odds with Chen Shuai, but Her Royal Highness the Princess has always supported Chen Shuai, and I heard that Vice Marshal Wu has a grudge against this...... Hey, did you hear me say? ”

Halfway through speaking, his companion didn't see any reaction, and the Taiping sergeant subconsciously turned his head. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with fear, for he saw a jet-black dagger that had been placed around his neck at some point.

"Snort......" Blood splattered, and the Taiping sergeant's eyes widened and he collapsed limply to the ground.

In front of him. Standing stood an Assassin dressed entirely in black, with a black cloth covering his face.

This person is now the most powerful assassin under Xie An's command, one of the murderers of the Four Heavenly Kings of Dongling, [sickle] Mo Fei.

"Whoosh!" Three soft sounds. Three or four assassins dressed similarly to him appeared beside Mo Fei, clasping their fists and lowering their voices, "Three leaders, all the thieves and sentries standing guard nearby have been killed!" ”

Although Mo Fei is now in the position of the commander of the Fusi [Jinyiwei] Division of Beizhen. Although it is the official position of Zheng Wupin, it is the eyes and ears of Li Shou, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Xie An, the secretary of the Criminal Department. The status is far beyond that of officials of the same level, but within the assassins of Dongling, Mo Fei is still called by the three leaders.

"Are there any brothers killed or wounded?" Mo Fei said indifferently.

Don't look at Mo Fei's indifferent tone, he mistakenly thinks that this is a cold-blooded guy, but in all fairness, it is just Mo Fei's character, in fact, he also spoke to Xie An and the eldest grandson Xiangyu in this tone.

Unlike the Guangling Assassins, the Dongling people, like the Jinling people, were quite united internally, as can be seen from Mo Fei's question about whether there were any casualties among the brothers, but not whether they had alarmed the thief army.

"No! - The three leaders look up to this gang of thieves too much! The Assassin who answered made a joke.

"Excellent! Start scuttling the ship! Mo Fei still said in a cold tone.

"Yes!"

While Liu Qing was discussing the future strategy with Yang Yu, Qi Zhi and other generals in the Shuai Tent, Mo Fei led the more than 100 Dongling assassins under his command to infiltrate the place where the ships were parked, preparing to fulfill the orders given by Xie An.

In fact, the ship-wreshing was not suitable for the Assassins. After all, no matter how careful you are, there will still be movement when you dig the ship, which will attract the attention of the Taiping soldiers in the camp, which is simply contrary to the assassins who pay attention to concealing their whereabouts.

However, Mo Fei didn't care, after all, as early as when he was at Hukou, he explored the reality of the Taiping Army at night alone, and learned that the third-generation commander of the Taiping Army, who was unparalleled in the world as both a military general and an assassin, [one-man army] Chen Bei had already left Liu Qing's army and rushed to Jiangling in Nanjun, Mo Fei didn't think that anyone else in Liu Qing's camp could threaten him.

Even if it alarms the Taiping soldiers, what about it?

Mo Fei's already indifferent eyes became even colder, after all, Xie An had lifted his ban on killing.

Don't look at Mo Fei's rules in front of Xie An, and even, in the eldest grandson Xiangyu, he was even more shocked, so he mistakenly thought that this was a good-looking guy, in fact, Mo Fei's personality was the most awkward and twisted of the four heavenly kings of Dongling, he never cared how much blood was stained on his hands, in his eyes, there was no difference between killing people and killing chickens and dogs.

He only knew that he was an assassin and that it was his duty to kill people, for which he never apologized or regretted those who died at his hands.

I have to say that this kind of assassin who kills people without blinking an eye, and does not even have the slightest sense of guilt, if there is no lord who is loyal, it is simply the most bad thing, fortunately, Xie An and the eldest grandson Xiangyu have subdued this one in their own ways, otherwise, it is not a good thing to keep such a murderous assassin by his side.

It's not just a matter of words, just look at what Mo Fei is doing right now.

During the period when his subordinates and brothers in Dongling were digging boats, what was Mo Fei doing? Homicide!

kills people regardless of the reason, but all the Taiping thieves who appear in his eyes are the targets of his hunting.

This is also the fundamental reason why Xie An's third lady, [Ghost Queen] Jin Ling'er, initially disliked Mo Fei.

It also has the title of a murderer. But Jin Ling'er felt guilty in the process of killing, because she opened a righteous house in Jinling, one is to help those helpless, and the other is to relieve the guilt in her heart.

Since then, Jin Ling'er has stopped killing people who have nothing to do with the mission goal. Of course, this refers to men, and for women, Jin Ling'er has never killed innocents indiscriminately from the beginning.

But Mo Fei is different, once this cold-blooded guy is killed. It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, old or young, or resisting and running away.

Sometimes, tigers and wolves hunt not purely for the sake of hunger, but more for the purpose of honing their minions.

And Mo Fei. He is a fierce wolf, and he kills people to hone his assassination skills. As for the money from the mission, the man didn't value it.

I have to say that among the people in Dongling, I am afraid that only Mo Fei can be regarded as a real natural assassin, living for killing and living for killing. In addition to him, Dibu wanted to hone his martial arts. Gou Gong once wanted to fly Huang Tengda to win the favor of a woman from a good family, and as for Qian Xi, this miser would also be one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Dongling, this matter Xie An and the eldest grandson Xiangyu still can't figure it out.

One. Two, three......

Four, five, six......

I don't know when I will kill it. In Mo Fei's indifferent eyes, a bit of fanaticism and inexplicable joy gradually emerged.

The guy was excited. Killing to the point of excitement.

I have to say that Xie An was quite wise to give Mo Fei a ban on killing before, after all, Mo Fei was originally a sharp blade that was not easy to retract once it was contaminated with blood after it was unsheathed.

"Hoo ......"

Standing in a dim corner, very rarely, Mo Fei removed the black cloth from his face and looked up at the waning moon in the night sky.

Xie An originally guessed that it was really quite accurate, and Mo Fei, who had an awkward personality, thought that he was the king of the night, except for a few people he was loyal to or close to, such as Xie An and the eldest grandson Xiangyu, the whole world was his hunting ground.

In a sense, this is similar to the previous eldest grandson Xiangyu's view of everyone in the world as a chess piece, but Mo Fei's personality is more awkward and more distorted than that of eldest grandson Xiangyu.

This can also explain why Mo Fei is obedient to the words and deeds of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, the reason is very simple, they are actually the same kind of people.

To be honest, in fact, Mo Fei is also very handsome, in terms of appearance, those people under Xie An are enough to rank in the top three, but it is a pity that he is also masked with black cloth all year round, so Ji Jing also has many rich daughters who admire him and still don't know what he looks like.

By the way, among those people under Xie An's command, the most handsome is Gou Gong, in Xie An's words, if this guy does not become a cowherd in the future generations, it is simply Qu Cai, in fact, Xie An has always wondered, Gou Gong, who is so handsome, why did he not have a woman's relationship when he was in Dongling before? But when he heard about all the ugly things that this kid had when he was in Dongling, Xie An was immediately relieved.

At that time, Gou Gong was just a bastard who followed human instincts, and women were props for venting his desires in his eyes, no wonder he was notorious. However, in the past three years, this guy seems to have changed his temperament, thinking about preparing to marry a wife and live a serious life, but he has a certain psychological vacillation in choosing a spouse, one is envious of Xie An's harmony with his wife, and the other is a little reluctant to be free alone.

And after Gou Gong, he belonged to Mo Yan, the Guangling scholar, and Xie An always felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience for this merry scholar who had been in the Guangling Yingchun Building all the year round.

Mo Yan's conversation and temperament can prove that this person must be from a rich family, but this person is a ronin who doesn't even have a home.

Something always felt wrong......

Whenever he saw Mo Yan, Xie An would always subconsciously think of a person, [Eight Sage Kings] Li Xian.

Even Xie An didn't understand why he had this thought, but in his opinion, Mo Yan was really similar to Li Xian, not referring to appearance, but to the conversation, temperament, and concept of treating people and things.

And under Mo Yan, it is necessary to count Mo Fei, although there are very few people who know about this matter, after all, they are full of calculations, and those who have seen Mo Fei's true face, except for the Dongling people, there are only Xie An and his few wives, oh. Li Shou has also seen it. In addition, even Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and the four generals of the Eastern Army, who were also close to Xie An'an, had never seen what Mo Fei looked like.

Because of this, Xie An's private resentment towards Mo Fei is even more serious than that of Gou Gong, after all, Gou Gong has also done some things to seduce women from good families with his handsome appearance, but this Mo Fei covers his face with a black cloth all day long.

Waste, Bai has a good look! This somewhat sour sentence is exactly what Xie An said.

It can only be said. Mo Fei is not a figure in the same world as Xie An, Gou Gong and others, his goal in life is to kill people, and kill those who have strength and no strength, so that he can rise above everyone and become the king of assassins under the night sky.

Yes. Hunt the strong!

Mo Fei is a fierce wolf who dares to hunt, and even loves to hunt tigers, which is where his true passion lies.

At this time, a slight sound of footsteps alarmed Mo Fei, who was watching the moonlight at night.

"......" frowned, and Mo Fei slowly covered his face with the black cloth in his hand again, many people thought that he was wearing the black cloth just to hide his appearance, but only Xie An and the eldest grandson Xiangyu knew that if there was no black cloth that was not worth a few copper coins. Mo Fei may not even be able to fight ordinary Jizhou soldiers.

"Brush!" A silver dagger shot out from a dim corner, heading towards the Desert Flying Gate.

However, seeing the short sword that was approaching in an instant, Mo Fei didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, and raised his hand. He easily took off the dagger.

"Huh?" A surprised voice came from a dim corner in the distance, and then, Yang Yu, the commander of Liu Qing's personal army and the commander of the Tianfu Army, walked out from there, looked at Mo Fei and said in surprise. "Wow, what a skill! - Looks like you're no ordinary assassin! ”

"......" Mo Fei looked at Yang Yu coldly. He didn't say anything, he didn't think there was anything commendable about receiving the other party's short sword.

After all, the short sword thrown out by Yang Yu is the auxiliary blade of the military generals in the army, which can also be said to be a small blade, and most of the time it is not used to kill people, but to make some groceries, such as cutting down dead vines and grass when marching in the woods, and occasionally peeling skin and cutting meat when hunting mountain flavors, etc., of course, it is not excluded that there is a possibility of using this short sword to fight with the enemy general or kill himself in the case of losing the main weapon.

But in any case, the short sword of a martial artist is different from the dagger of an assassin, and the military generals who pay attention to acting above board and paying attention to martial virtue disdain to smear the short sword with ink to hide the blade, so it can be said that it is easy to receive Yang Yu's short sword with Mo Fei's skills.

It seems to be the general of the thief army, but I don't know if it's the one named Xu Le......

Mo Fei muttered secretly in his heart, and did not talk to Yang Yu, and casually threw the short sword he received to Yang Yu.

But somehow, the direction of the short sword was very different from Yang Yu's position, as if it had been thrown out of his hand.

"Hey, hey!" Looking at the short sword that he didn't know where to shoot, Yang Yu couldn't help but laugh and cry, he didn't expect that he would praise the other party for such an oolong.

However, in the next moment, Yang Yu was stunned.

I saw Mo Fei throw out the sickle with a long chain in his hand, and collided with the short sword that had already flown out, causing the latter to change direction halfway and shoot straight at Yang Yumian's door.

Yang Yu subconsciously tilted his head to dodge, but his face was still cut by the short sword.

At the same time, Mo Fei tugged on the iron chain in his hand, withdrew the sickle, and then the iron chain turned, and the blade of the sickle wrapped around Yang Yu's neck.

This guy ......

Yang Yu was shocked and suspicious in his heart, subconsciously lowered his head, and blocked it with the scabbard in his hand, only to hear a click, and the wooden scabbard was crushed by the iron cable.

Looking at it intently, Yang Yu gasped, and then he noticed that the iron chain of Mo Fei's sickle was full of barbs, and under the tugging, not to mention the wooden scabbard, even a person's neck could be easily shortened.

"This terrifying skill of changing the direction of the dagger halfway...... Make the sickle ...... You are a murderer of one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Dongling, [sickle] Mo Fei? ――I don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky, but I found the right owner all at once! Compared to Fang Cai, Yang Yu's tone was much more solemn, after all, he was almost killed by Mo Fei.

"Are you Xu Le?" Ignoring Yang Yu's self-deprecation, Mo Fei asked indifferently.

"Xu Le?" Yang Yu was stunned, shook his head, and said, "No! ――Didn't Yang just say it, my surname is Yang! ”

"......" Mo Fei didn't speak again, shaking the chain. He once again drove the sickle towards Yang Yu's neck.

"Hey, don't you want to ask Yang's name?" Avoiding Mo Fei's scythe and breaking free from the tightly wrapped iron chains, Yang Yu asked in amazement.

"Not interested!" Mo Fei said lightly, launching a ferocious offensive against Yang Yu, the sickle that ordinary people could not use freely, seemed to be alive in his hands, showing incredible skills.

However, only the sound of the bell was heard. Yang Yu knocked Mo Fei's sickle away.

"That's really a pity...... changed his expression, Yang Yu said coldly, "Yang still wants you to at least die clearly, so as not to get the Netherworld Mansion, and you don't even know who you died in!" ”

This guy ...... What a strong wrist force!

Far above yourself......

Mo Fei glanced at the flying scythe. With a tug of his hand, he pulled it back and wrapped it around his waist, and then out of nowhere he found a jet-black dagger blackened with ink.

"What? Don't make a sickle? Yang Yu looked at Mo Fei with some surprise.

saw Mo Fei and said lightly, "That's a tool to slaughter the weak, and you...... Very strong! ”

Listening to the plain and sincere words, Yang Yu was stunned and subconsciously said thank you. After finishing speaking, he came to his senses and secretly scolded himself for being stupid enough to be polite to the enemy general.

"So what are you going to do? The Four Heavenly Kings of the Dongling Crowd! Yang Yu sneered with a straight face, as if to hide his gaffe.

As soon as the words fell, he saw Mo Fei take out a small pocket from his arms. It's like a bag of poison powder in Gougong.

"Poison?" Yang Yu was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously took a step back, after all, even if he was confident in his martial arts, but for poison. But he didn't know anything.

"It's not poison!" Mo Fei shook his head and said lightly. "I never use poison to kill people, this is just a way to hide people's eyes!"

As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of black-gray powder from his pocket and sprinkled it, and suddenly, Yang Yu was shocked to find that the light around him seemed to become even darker, as if he couldn't see his five fingers.

"I see...... Assassination? ”

Subconsciously clenched the battle knife in his hand, Yang Yu asked seemingly casually, in fact, he wanted to judge Mo Fei's location with the help of his voice.

It's a pity that Mo Fei's experience in assassination techniques can definitely be called the first person in Dongling, and his voice seems to be transmitted to Yang Yu from all directions, so that Yang Yu can't judge his exact location.

Suddenly, Yang Yu felt a splitting pain in his wrist.

Hurt yourself? When?

Yang Yu subconsciously raised his left hand, and he found that at the wrist of his left hand, a thin cut was cut out at some point.

This is......

After contemplating and looking closely, Yang Yu realized that he was surrounded by slender and tough iron wires at some point.

"This is the silent killing technique of my third master, [Ghost Queen] Jin Ling'er, [Thousand Spider Silk], I haven't been learning it for a long time, originally, this is a skill to deal with that man...... You're strong, so let's test it on you! I don't know if I saw Yang Yu's stunned eyes, Mo Fei reminded that after that, Mo Fei didn't respond.

Hey, is it the murderous technique of that black widow in Jinling City?

An inexplicable uneasiness rose in Yang Yu's heart.

Unconsciously, Yang Yu's breathing became heavy, although he knew very well that Mo Fei was hiding in the black mist created by that special powder at the moment. The reason why he hasn't shown up yet is just to make him uneasy.

It's no joke to be targeted by an assassin who is proficient in assassination in such an environment, and whose range of movement is limited by the iron wires that are disgruntled everywhere......

Is this the method used by the ghost Ji Jin Ling'er to kill people in the first place?

Damn, it's not good to teach anyone, you actually taught Mo Fei, a murderer who is not inferior to her......

Yang Yu scolded in his heart.

-- At the same time, a certain dwelling in Jinling --

"Ahh

Jin Ling'er, who was sitting in the house with her daughter in her arms, sneezed for no reason.

"Big sister? What happened to you? He Tao of the Jinling crowd asked with a worried face.

"It's okay......" Jin Ling'er shook her head, doting on her beloved daughter Nini, glanced at the many enthusiastic Jinling assassins in the room, frowned and said, "What are you doing here?" Didn't the old lady say it? Don't hold a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust! ――With this spare time, you might as well go out to explore the schedule of the Taiping Army, then Wu Heng is about to hit our Jinling! ”

"It's not like I haven't seen you for three years, the brothers miss the eldest sister......" He Tao grabbed his hair with a smile, and then said with a wry smile, "Besides, even if we find out the whereabouts of that Wu Heng, there is nothing we can do, but there are 100,000 soldiers!" -- The younger brother thinks that instead of watching the city fall into the hands of the Taiping thieves in Jinling, it is better for us to transfer all the dangerous buildings and go to Jiangxia to help the eldest brother! ――As long as the eldest brother wins the thief army, this Jinling City will eventually return to our hands! The eldest brother in his mouth refers to their eldest sister Jin Ling'er's husband Xie An.

"An ......" looked at the sleeping state of her beloved daughter, Jin Ling'er couldn't help but miss Xie An a little, although at this moment, her heart was also full of anger, who told Xie An to pretend to be the name of Changsun Wu and ransom Qin Ke'er with a lot of money, and it was boiling in Guangling?

"I don't know what happened to Lord Xie right now......" Leaving Jijing with Jin Ling'er, Xu Jie said worriedly.

"It's not in the way, there's Mo Fei!" Jin Ling'er said lightly.

Seeing Jin Ling'er mention Mo Fei, Xu Jie seemed to think of something, and said with some complaints, "Eldest sister, speaking of which, why do you want to hand over your proud tricks to Mo Fei?" That's the people of the East Ridge people......"

"Who told you boys not to be angry!" Jin Ling'er glared at Xu Jie, and said angrily, "If you have the ability to fly in the desert, the old lady will teach you [Thousand Spider Silk] without saying a word!" ”

"Uh, this ......" Xu Jie smiled wryly.

"Whether it's the Dongling people or the Jinling people, it's all my husband's deployment right now, and we should be united! In addition......"

"Also?"

Jin Ling'er sighed slightly, looked at the beloved daughter in her arms and said with a wry smile, "I don't want Mo Fei to die, he is the most powerful assassin under my husband's command right now......"

"Eldest sister thinks Mo Fei will die? That Mo Fei? ”

"I still don't have much confidence, when I meet that man, whether it's for Yu or Mo Fei......"

Recalling that after her crushing defeat to Chen Bei at Hanhan Valley Pass four years ago, Jin Ling'er still has lingering fears, although she has always believed that she could have killed Chen Bei in the first place......

Not alone!

"Let's go to Jiangxia! My mother also has some important matters, and she wants to deal with my husband's little thief! - Eldest Sun Wu, hey! ”

Looking at Jin Ling'er's gritted teeth, He Tao, Xu Jie and other Jinling assassins subconsciously shrank their heads.
