Chapter Eighty-Six: The Western Regions
In the middle of the night, when Cheng Yanjin and Li Yuanfang were pretending to be asleep, they really heard the sound of climbing over the wall and falling to the ground in the courtyard, and even the cat that was croaking on the wall just now disappeared. The two of them were unusually calm and focused, and when they heard the slight creak of the door and window being pushed open by the knife, the blade in their hands unconsciously tightened a little more. Just when they felt that the thief was approaching, Cheng Yanjin suddenly flipped over the quilt and got up, and with his right hand, he quickly pulled a rope beside him, and the window door that had just been opened was closed tightly and locked again in an instant. The flame of each candlestick is also rekindled at the same time.
"Little brother Yuanfang, don't kill them all, keep them alive." Before Cheng Biting Jin made a move, he told Li Yuanfang, and the look on his face at this moment was not the fear that he should have when he met a thief, but an inexplicable ecstasy.
"Okay, Brother Cheng." Li Yuanfang replied calmly, his eyes full of determination and determination.
With the faint candle flame, Cheng Li and the others saw that there were eight thieves, all dressed in black, their faces covered with black cloth, and the sharp sword in their hands was extremely sharp and dazzling under the reflection of the candle flame. The black-clothed man at the head waved his hand lightly, and all the thieves raised their swords high, or chopped or slashed or stabbed, and attacked the two of them suddenly.
I saw Cheng Biting Jin holding a gossip Xuanhua axe in each hand, his hands dancing like a whirlwind, and he jumped directly into the crowd of black.
Li Yuanfang quickly took out the secret seal behind him, and with a stroke of his skill, he immediately hit the two men in black, and the men in black began to lag because they won the bid on their legs. The man in black led by him, seeing Li Yuanfang's short stature and childish appearance, quickly felt the urge to solve him first. The black-clothed man led by him quickly detoured from the side and went around behind Li Yuanfang, but Li Yuanfang's big ears caught the wind and grass behind him. Li Yuanfang flashed to the right front, quickly swept like a knife shadow, and easily dodged the slash of the black shadow behind him. Li Yuanfang's body was stunned, and he took out the huge glaive flywheel from behind him with his backhand and threw it at the black shadow, but the man in black didn't have time to dodge, and was hit by the glaive flywheel in the chest, and a touch of crimson gushed out from the corner of his mouth. The man in black then staggered and fell on the bed, the black clothes on his chest were torn apart by the glaive flywheel, and in the end, the man in black could only hold on to the edge of the bed and barely stand up.
Li Yuanfang saw that the black-clothed man led by him had lost his combat effectiveness, so he joined Cheng Yanjin's fight, and after six snaps of his fingers, the remaining seven people also fell to the ground one after another, breaking their qi pulses. The man in black led by him did not expect that the two people in front of him were so good at kung fu, not only did they not succeed in assassination, but they would be wiped out by the whole army, so they had the idea of suicide. I saw him squirm his tongue, and in the blink of an eye, his head collapsed to the ground, and white foam kept pouring out of his mouth.
Cheng Li and the others had just finished the battle in front of them, and before they could turn around, they glanced at the man in black who was the leader, and he was killed.
Cheng Yanjin walked to the corpse of the man in black who was the leader, and said with emotion: "He is also an iron-clad man, but unfortunately he is not used on the right path." ”
Li Yuanfang saw the last live mouth, but he didn't save his life well, sighed, and said, "It seems that the clue is going to be broken again..."
Cheng Yanjin did not answer, but squatted down in front of the corpse of the black-clothed man led by him. He put the Xuanhua axe on the ground, and groped for something in front of the chest of the man in black with his free hands. Suddenly, I saw his hand finally on the waist of the man in black, and paused, as if there was something. Cheng Yanjin opened his clothes, took out the items on the waist of the man in black, and opened them to see.
"Brother Cheng, what is this?" Li Yuanfang saw what Cheng Yanjin had found, and asked curiously.
"It's a broken bowel." Cheng Yanjin replied calmly.
"Broken intestines? They came to assassinate us, and they had sharp weapons in their hands, so why should they have poison on them? Li Yuanfang's face was full of doubts.
"You help me see if there is a small pill hidden under the tongue of the others." Cheng bit the Phnom Rim Road while checking the mouths of the other black-clothed people beside him.
After three snaps of their fingers, the remaining seven people were all checked by Cheng and Li.
"I've seen everything here, and there's nothing in my mouth." Li Yuanfang said. "Mine is here too, if I'm not mistaken..."Cheng Yanjin fell into deep thought.
"Brother Cheng, you... What do you want to say? Li Yuanfang asked hesitantly. "If I'm not mistaken, the broken intestine just now is not for us." Cheng Yanjin still replied calmly.
"Who is that for?" Li Yuanfang was even more puzzled. "The men in black led by him are specially prepared for these men in black." Cheng Yanjin looked at the messy and lying corpse beside him and explained.
Li Yuanfang was incomprehensible for a while, and the puzzled expression on Fang Cai's face began to become a little stiff.
Cheng Yanjin glanced at Li Yuanfang, then put his eyes on the body of the black-clothed man under the bed, and continued to explain: "The leader wants to kill us all, and then kill all the rest of the black-clothed people who know the inside story.... What a vicious thief. ”
After Li Yuanfang heard Cheng Yanjin's explanation, his heart was slightly shocked. Oh, Fang Cai's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he said slowly: "The rest of the people in black must also know a little, or all the information about the brown gold feather cluster, and even they participated in the entire manufacturing process of the brown gold feather cluster. As we get closer to the truth, the more the chief messenger above the man in black will feel that the more unsuitable he is to continue to live with those who know the truth. ”
"That's right, their lord is getting nervous." Cheng Yanjin agreed.
"Brother Cheng, although we are close to the truth, but the clues are all broken with the death of these people, how should we find their mastermind next?" Li Yuanfang asked.
"Now that we have been completely exposed, and the Lord is still in the dark, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's quietly return to the Wind Stopping Temple first." Cheng Yanjin said coldly.
Not long after Cheng and Li left the small hotel, the people from the official mansion arrived with great momentum.
Soon after returning to Zhifeng Temple, Cheng Biting Jin's secret sentry reported the information that the government would search soon after.
"That dilapidated and remote little hotel, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were all arranged to go home by me in the evening. alarmed a large number of officials so quickly, and it seems that the power of the main envoy behind it cannot be underestimated. Cheng bites Jin Dao.
"The government that can not only make brown and gold feather clusters, but also command the government, is the master of the imperial weapon?" Li Yuanfang suddenly realized.
Cheng Yanjin smiled, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and said slowly: "At least it can't be separated from him, and after we find out where he lives, we will meet him." ”
