Chapter 34: Death hangs by a thread
There are three dishes on the wooden table in the house, stewed chicken in clear soup, red bean crucian carp, and stir-fried bean sprouts with lotus leaf and lotus root, which are simple and refreshing.
Chu Tingyun sat beside Hate Feng and said, "Eat as you like, it's relatively simple, don't dislike it." ”
Hate Feng shook his head and said, "It's good, how can you dislike it." ”
Ah Ping also sat with them, holding a wooden bowl, eating silently.
Chu Tingyun said: "For the task of Jinfeng Yulu Building, I have already received the bonus from the internal envoy, your share, you shouldn't have taken it yet, right? ”
Hate Feng nodded, she didn't care much about money, and just asked at the moment: "This mission, according to the method you told me before, I really tracked down the assassin who was connected with Shi Qiyuan, but I am not sure which one it is." ”
"It's not easy, the assassins of the thunder fire will have a burning flame tattoo on the back of their neck, just look at who has a tattoo on their body. ”
I see, Hate Feng made up his mind in his heart, he would go to Quancheng immediately tomorrow, and he would definitely find the assassin who was docking with Shi Qiyuan, and continue to track it down.
Chu Tingyun sandwiched a large piece of meat for Hate Feng and Ah Ping respectively, and said, "Eat more, you are running around all day long, and you can't have a good meal." ”
"Thank you. Hate Wind whispered.
On the second day, she rode straight to Quancheng, and according to the location reported by the Jackdaw Detective, she came to the dilapidated tavern opposite the herb hall, and the portrait drawn by the Jackdaw Detective was from the shop's Xiaoer.
She went straight into the tavern, where there were no guests, and the proprietor leaned diagonally against the counter and fell asleep, unaware of anyone entering.
When Gu Yizhou walked from the door to the tavern with a basin of water, he happened to see the hated wind sitting on the chair.
A flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he said, "It's you, why are you here? Are you here to find me?" Hey, how do you know that I am here as a shopkeeper?"
This series of questions, Hate Feng didn't answer, she sat up from the chair, looked at Gu Yizhou coldly, and said, "Are you a person from Thunder Fire?"
Gu Yizhou was a little stunned and asked, "What does this have to do with you?"
I had seen him in Jinfeng Yulu Building before, and at that time, Hate Feng faintly felt that he was a little special, but he never thought of him and Lei Huo to go together.
The incomparable force of the hating wind pulled his collar open, and sure enough, a flaming tattoo on the back of his neck was revealed, like a huge wave rolling up in the sea.
Gu Yizhou asked in astonishment, "What are you doing?"
Hate Feng was flooded with killing intent at this moment, he was really an assassin of Thunder Fire, at that time, the reason why he appeared in Jinfeng Yulu Tower was originally to answer Shi Qiyuan.
He must have stepped on Shi Qiyuan in advance to go there in advance, and the reason why he came to the tavern opposite the herb hall now was also to keep in touch with Shi Qiyuan at any time.
It must be like this, Hate Feng thought to herself, but she couldn't kill Gu Yizhou now, and she still needed to use him to find a higher-level assassin.
She was surrounded by powerless at the moment, planning to capture Gu Yizhou alive and torture his superior assassins, if it can't be solved, she can hand it over to the commander-in-chief, he must have a way to force him.
The breeze brought a chill, and the alley was empty.
Gu Yizhou saw that her expression was serious, her eyes were like a sword, and she felt a little worried in her heart.
The roots of his ears moved slightly, sensing that an invisible force was condensing in the air, and he couldn't help but take a step back and put down the wooden basin in his hand.
At this moment, the signal flare of the Jackdaw Gate suddenly bloomed in the air in the distance, disturbing the solemn air.
When the wind heard this voice, he immediately looked at it, this was a distress signal from the jackdaw protector!
A signal flare is already very urgent, but at this moment, a total of five rounds have been released in a row, and the danger at this time is already 100,000 urgent.
She put away her powerlessness, and when she passed by Gu Yizhou, she stopped and whispered: "Think about who your superior is, where it is, and what it is called, and after I kill Shi Qiyuan, I can consider sparing your life." ”
When Gu Yizhou heard this, he suddenly smiled with relief: "It turns out that this is the reason, I think, there is some misunderstanding here." ”
Hate Feng didn't speak, in her opinion, everything Gu Yizhou said was a quibble.
She turned over and got on the horse, thought about it, cast a wind chasing mark on Gu Yizhou, and said, "Don't think about running, I can find you wherever you go." ”
After Gu Yizhou heard this, he smiled, beckoned to her, and said, "Okay, I can't ask for it." Girl who hates the wind, must come to me. ”
Hate Wind cursed the bastard in his heart, and rode away in the direction of the signal.
Gu Yizhou was behind her, also looking at the smoke dispersed by the signal flares in the air, and his eyes became a little serious.
She tracked it all the way to a densely forested valley with tall trees and lush branches, which let in only a little sunlight and was very dim.
Further, she couldn't even get in on horse, so she had to dismount and walk on foot.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, it could be that there was a big battle ahead, and I don't know what the casualties were.
It was eerily quiet, and Hate Wind felt that something was wrong, so he jumped among the trees, and lightly rode his qi on the branches, in case there was any fraud on the ground.
As she went deeper, the smell of blood grew stronger, and she couldn't help but frown.
What Hate Wind didn't see was a faint glow in the grass as she slowly approached the forest.
It was a complicated pattern, like a seal, that was reflected on the ground.
As soon as she entered, the lines flashed and dimmed as if they were sensitive, and it was difficult for people to perceive the strange light.
The movement of the hated wind was very light, barely making a sound, and as she advanced, it was finally not just the forest in front of her, but the fallen people, lying together in all sides, all of them with deep scars.
There was no life around, and when I think about it, these people are dead.
Hate Wind saw that the corpses in the middle were hung with the tokens of the Jackdaw Gate Guardians, so he guessed that they should have been ambushed here, and when he looked at the corpses around them, he found that they all had flaming tattoos on their necks.
It turned out to be thunder fire!
For some reason, these Jackdaw Gate guards were besieged by thunder and fire here, and they were all wiped out here.
When he was thinking about it, he felt a little dizzy, and his feet seemed to be on the clouds, fluttering and flickering, and he was a little uncontrollable.
Here's the problem!
Hate Feng tried hard to cheer up, wanting to control his qi and leave this place quickly, but the spiritual power in his body couldn't be adjusted at all.
They were suppressed by an unknown force, and they could not be cast in the slightest.
Hate Wind's vision became more and more blurred, the soles of her feet went limp, and she fell from the tree to the ground, she struggled to get up, only to find that there were already many people in black gathered around her.
They were holding swords with murderous intent in their hands, and someone whispered, "There is another trick, and it is really wonderful to use this trick against the Jackdaw Gate." ”
Hate Feng's body was shaky at the moment, but he still held his body, picked up a sword on the corpse casually, drove away the assassin beside him, and scolded: "Shameless bastard, you actually used this kind of indiscriminate tricks. ”
Someone laughed and said, "We are not decent people, we don't need some tricks, how can we deal with your Jackdaws?"
As she spoke, a cold light sword had already stabbed into Hate Wind's throat, and she could only tilt to one side with all her strength, using her last bit of strength to avoid the sword.
At this moment, she knelt on the ground, and the sword in her hand supported her body, so she didn't fall, but it was already the end of the strong crossbow, and she definitely couldn't hold out another move.
When the next sword stabbed him, Hate Feng's hand couldn't be lifted no matter what, and his body seemed to be sucked on the ground, and his whole body weighed like a thousand pounds.
She looked at the sword, very unwilling, but still closed her eyes helplessly.
If you have cultivated like this all your life, it will be this kind of result.
