Chapter 163: Chief, Is It Yours?
When Zhou An was fished up from under the water, he had already passed out from a coma due to his long breath holding and cold weakness.
He almost died underwater, and if he hadn't heard some movement before he lost consciousness, he threw a few punches indiscriminately underwater, causing a splash on the surface of the water, and the old eunuch by the lake would not have noticed him.
If the old eunuch by the lake hadn't found him in time, even if someone reacted later, thinking that someone might be in the lake and going into the water to find someone, I am afraid that it would not have been too late at that time.
"Hurry up, take off your clothes, and lay out!"
"Go and inform the Holy One."
"Be careful, slow down."
After several old eunuchs took Zhou An ashore, there was a shout.
This is the cold winter wax moon, the coldest time, these old eunuchs just came ashore, the cold wind blew, their hair and eyebrows all turned white, that is, the lake water was frozen into ice flowers, and their bodies began to freeze, but for the strong people of the Earth Evil Realm, this kind of cold is not a big problem.
On the snow by the lake, a few robes were covered.
Zhou An was placed on it.
There were no obvious injuries on his body, but the extent of his clothes and the blood stains that had not been washed away by the lake showed how he had been hurt.
In addition, there were some silver needles pierced all over him.
The white-eyed old eunuch, who was over sixty years old, leaned over and quickly checked Zhou An's situation, and then quickly pulled out all the silver needles that were pierced on Zhou An's body, and then connected Zhou An's acupoints, and finally smashed them several times on Zhou An's chest.
Bang bang bang!
"Poof!" Zhou An was directly smashed, and a mouthful of water squirted out.
"Steward."
"Grandpa Zhou!"
Faces appeared in front of Zhou An's eyes in a circle, and it was a group of old eunuchs surrounding Zhou An, all looking down.
Zhou An lay on his back, breathing heavily, and then, he first subconsciously touched his chest, and then sat up suddenly, glaring wide-eyed.
The shores of the lake are full of fire.
I don't know how many people have arrived.
"Ghost-faced fox! Ghost-faced fox in the water! Find it for us! Find it now!! Zhou An stood up with his hands on his hands, and shouted in a hoarse voice!
The faces of the people around him changed dramatically.
It's a ghost-faced fox!
He came to assassinate Zhou An again! And this time he dared to enter the palace to assassinate!
No wonder, no wonder Zhou An would have fallen to the bottom of the lake, if he hadn't been discovered in time, he would have died! A few old eunuchs hadn't figured it out before, with Zhou An's strength, he could be forced to such a point, if it was a lone assassin, I am afraid that he couldn't, but if it was a group of assassins, they came here, but they didn't find any traces, and it was unreasonable.
After all, in terms of Zhou An's strength, even if he was surrounded and killed by a group of assassins, he couldn't win, and he couldn't run away? Even if you can't run away, can't you delay it for a while?
Now everything makes sense!
It's a lone assassin, but he's the number one assassin in the world, Ghost-Faced Fox!
"Search!"
"Ghost-faced fox in the water!"
"Quick!"
Several old eunuchs shouted one after another, and the shouts spread throughout the Ten Thousand Gardens, and people from all sides of the lake immediately went into the water, and some jumped onto the large ice floating on the lake with torches.
Zhou An stared at the lake, his face pale.
In fact, he is not sure whether the ghost-faced fox is still in the lake.
He dragged the Ghost-faced Fox into the water at that time, and in the water, because he was cultivating both inside and outside, he did have an advantage, but he had just recovered from his injuries at that time, and he was too weak, and the Ghost-faced Fox was already stronger than him, so when he was underwater, he did not subdue the Ghost-faced Fox.
Both of them are underwater, their mobility is greatly limited, and neither of them can see the other.
After a while, no one could find anyone.
Zhou An also didn't have the strength to search underwater.
A middle-aged eunuch who had never been in the water before took off his winter robe and draped it on Zhou An, who was soaked and in rags, Zhou An did not look back, still looking at the lake.
More and more people are coming.
More and more people are also entering the water and jumping onto ice floes.
"You go to Ning'an Garden." Zhou An suddenly turned his head and looked at the middle-aged eunuch, "Tell the little pavilion to bring our family's burden." ”
"Yes!" The middle-aged eunuch was extremely respectful to Zhou An, and after receiving the order, he threw himself away.
Zhou An looked at the lake again and stared.
He was observing, observing the eunuchs who went into the water and went ashore temporarily because of the cold, the ghost-faced fox can change his appearance, and he is wearing a eunuch uniform, so he can completely change his appearance underwater, disguise himself as a little eunuch who went into the water to search and go ashore in full view of everyone, and find a reason to leave with a swagger.
So Zhou An has to stare at it, but he doesn't need to stare at it all, because the height and body shape of the ghost-faced fox will not change.
He used the Qi Observation Technique to find clues.
"Xiao Anzi!" A call could be heard in the distance from the side.
Zhou An glanced at it.
It's the Divine Army that has arrived! Gao Hong is here!
"Xiao Anzi...... How are you? Gao Hong walked quickly to Zhou An's side.
"I'm fine, the ghost-faced fox may be in the water, looking for it." Zhou An said in a cold voice.
"Damn, it's ...... gall to eat a bear's heart and a leopard" Gao Hong scolded, and at the same time reached out to pick off the heavy armor on his body, he wanted to untie the armor, so naturally he wanted to go into the water.
"Lao Gao." Zhou An hurriedly pulled Gao Hong, shook his head at Gao Hong, and said, "No, if he is in the lake, he will naturally be forced to go ashore, and you stay on the shore so that it is convenient to arrest him." ”
Gao Hong heard that what Zhou An said made sense, so he gave up.
The search went on for a while.
The longer the time, the heavier Zhou An's head sank, and at this time the lake was already full of figures, full of five or six hundred people, half in the water, half on the floating ice, the people on the ice were holding torches, and the lake was already a fire.
Thousands of people gathered on the shores of the surrounding lakes, all carrying torches.
However, the ghost-faced fox has not been found.
From Zhou An's waking up to the present, the time for a cup of tea has passed.
Whew!
Suddenly there was a sound of wind from behind, and he quickly approached.
It was the middle-aged eunuch, he had just gone to Ning'an Yuan to get something according to Zhou An's instructions, and he had just come back at this moment, and he was still dragging a person in his hand, which was the small pavilion.
Xiao Tingzi carried a burden on his back, holding a large brocade box in his arms, and was carried by a middle-aged eunuch, running wildly all the way, until he reached Zhou An's side before stopping.
"Father-in-law, how are you hurt? Pills...... The pill is here......" The little pavilion looked very nervous, opened the big brocade box, and handed it to Zhou An.
Zhou An is indeed extremely weak now, mainly because of the loss of qi and blood.
He didn't say anything, he directly took the small brocade box containing the super nine-turn big pill from the big brocade box, took out the pill and threw it directly into his mouth.
Before the pill was completely refined, Zhou An took the burden from the small pavilion again, and pulled out a bloody white cloth from the baggage.
It's the cloth with the ghost-faced fox's blood.
Zhou An had tracked the ghost-faced fox once before, but he only used a small piece of cloth, but this time, he tore off the big cloth again, leaving the small strip of cloth with blood stains in his hand, and the burden and the large cloth were thrown to the small pavilion.
Zhou An looked at the lake again.
Stamping!
"Heaven and earth are endless, thousands of miles of tracking!" Zhou An flipped his wrist, and with two fingers, he took out the strip of cloth in his palm, and the fire suddenly rose, and the strip of cloth burned.
Zhou An stared at this moment.
The smoke from the burning of the cloth rose in front of Zhou An's eyes.
Zhou An saw a hazy and illusory picture, in the dark night, a figure climbed over the vermilion high wall, turned into an afterimage in the empty and silent street, and disappeared into the dark alley mouth.
Ghostface Fox has been tracked!
However, the ghost-faced fox had already escaped from the palace.
Zhou An put down his hand and looked to the northeast, where the ghost-faced fox climbed over the wall and left the palace.
"Don't look for it, he's already escaped!" Zhou Anjian drank.
The noisy scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Zhou An.
Zhou An didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
His face was very gloomy.
The second time, the second time he escaped death under the hands of the ghost-faced fox, which is something worth bragging, but Zhou An doesn't think so, and he doesn't think how lucky he is, but he is very popular!
The assassination of the ghost-faced fox is more and more ferocious every time, the last time he assassinated Zhou An, this time he used poison, and also used a very perverted secret weapon, but he still didn't kill Zhou An, so what about next time?
As long as the ghost-faced fox takes the task, it will never die!
Zhou An didn't know what means the ghost-faced fox would use next time he assassinated him.
He didn't want to sit still!
It's time to do something about it!
"Mr. Zhou! Lord Steward! ”
Zhou An walked not far from the lake, and suddenly there was a shout on the lake behind him.
Zhou An stopped and turned around to look.
"Your sword!" A young eunuch who was lying in the water, half-lying on an ice floe, shouted at the brand of a bloodless sword.
The Bloodless Sword was previously knocked away by the Ghost-Faced Fox and flew to the center of the lake, and then when the entire surface of the lake was frozen, the Bloodless Sword fell into the water...... Zhou An forgot about this stubble.
Zhou An walked back to the lake and hooked his hand at the young eunuch.
The young eunuch immediately jumped on the ice floe, leaping between the ice floes, and quickly approached the eastern shore of the lake.
At the same time, on the ice floes more than ten zhang away from the east shore of the lake, a little eunuch had just crawled out of the water, because Zhou An said that he didn't need to look for it, so he came up, before he dived to the bottom of the lake, and under the light of the torches on the lake, he searched for it.
The young eunuch took the bloodless sword and quickly approached Zhou An.
The little eunuch glanced back, as if he remembered something, and touched his waist, and there was a metal pipe like a bamboo tube pinned to his belt, which he had just found at the bottom of the lake, and he didn't know what it was, because it didn't look like a mortal thing, so he pinned it to his waist.
Now the young eunuch found Zhou An's sword, but it reminded him.
The little eunuch took down the metal pipe, shook it at Zhou An, and asked in a loud voice, "Chief, is it yours?" ”
Zhou An glanced at it and subconsciously wanted to shake his head, because there was a mess at the bottom of the lake...... However, he didn't see it clearly at first sight, so he looked at it carefully, and then his eyes widened, and his face changed greatly.
"Be careful! Take it! Zhou An shouted urgently.
That metal pipe is not Zhou An's, but a ghost-faced fox!
It's the perverted trap that can shoot countless silver needles and penetrate Zhou An's skin defenses!
