Chapter 45: The Night in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations
It was a very dark night, Wu Xi and the cold-faced man flew over the rooms one by one, and the entire Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations was silent, which was very suitable for the two of them. In ancient times, the structure of the houses was mostly similar, whether it was the master bedroom or the firewood room, there was almost no difference. If you ask Wu Xi and the two of them to find each room, it will not be an easy job, but fortunately, Wu Xi has already asked the location.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations was actually not very big, and soon, the two of them reached the roof of the firewood house. The cold-faced man carefully uncovered the tiles and looked down, there was no light in the room, but the light was dimmer than outside. So he didn't look carefully, and could only vaguely see a person tied to a pillar. The man hung his head down, motionless, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
After looking at it for a while, the cold-faced man gently covered the tiles again, and was about to go down from the roof, but was held down by Wu Xi. Wu Xi whispered: "Someone is coming, don't move here, I'll take a look." When the cold-faced man heard this, he was shocked, nodded busily, and continued to squat still, paralyzing the peeper.
But said that here Mu Wanqing watched the two of them go up to the roof of the firewood house, squatting on it and not moving, not knowing what they were doing, she couldn't help but bow her head and think secretly in her heart. "What are the two of them doing here? Firewood house? The wicked man who hunted down his mother?! Thinking of this, Mu Wanqing was startled, and then looked at the roof, only to find that the witch seal was gone!
Mu Wanqing thought she was dazzled, but when she looked closely, she still saw that there was only one person on the roof, and her heart became more and more uneasy. At this moment, I suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, and several important points on my body ached, and my whole body was paralyzed and I couldn't use my strength. She was shocked, knowing that she had been pointed, and was about to make a warning, but her mouth was also covered.
Mu Wanqing, who was numb and weak all over, was covered by Wu Xi's mouth, and fell into his arms according to his strength, Wu Xi frowned when she looked at her miserable white pretty face. In the past, he often killed him directly when he encountered this situation, but after discovering that the person who was following him was Mu Wanqing, he couldn't do it, so he would rather spend a lot of effort to sneak close to her and restrain her. It's just that at this time, he still didn't know what to do with this woman, and he was a little entangled for a while. Kill it, you can't do it inexplicably, don't kill it, but it's easy to spoil your own business.
It didn't seem to be able to make any decision in a short period of time, so Wu Xi had to pick her up first and stand up. Behind him was the white moon, if Mu Wanqing looked at him hatefully, this scene would undoubtedly be extremely romantic. Wu Xi saw Mu Wanqing staring at him with hatred, but he didn't struggle anymore, and couldn't help but smile, his smile looked extremely charming in the moonlight, which made Mu Wanqing a little distracted and a little intoxicated, because this man who was looking at him seriously was a little too good-looking.
And a woman who is looking at herself with intoxicated eyes is also extremely fatal to a man, so, under a round of bright moon, the lips of the two are getting closer and closer, and finally kiss together. Mu Wanqing was powerless to struggle, and he didn't want to struggle, so he let him succeed and captured his heart
After a long time, his lips parted, Wu Xi looked at Mu Wanqing, who was still looking at him affectionately, and smiled cheaply, he already knew what to do. It's just that this woman's personality is really a little too wild, and he didn't dare to solve her acupoint like this, so he still hugged her like this, and Mu Wanqing rarely enjoyed such a gentle witch seal, and he didn't want to go down at this time. So Wu Xi got up, and the figures of the two disappeared in the moonlight.
Wu Xi hugged Mu Wanqing to the door of the firewood room, and saw a family member guarding the door, but his vigilance was really poor, and now he was asleep against the wall, and Wu Xi stood in front of him with a person in his arms and didn't wake up. With a soft sound, the cold-faced man fell from the roof behind Wu Xi, looking at the "senior" holding Mu Wanqing, he couldn't help but show a sneer, he couldn't help but look down on the behavior of this "senior" when he was doing tasks. People like them are not suitable for those things, and the cold-faced man who thought of these looked down on Wu Xi a little bit in his heart.
"Don't kill him." Wu Xi commanded. He hadn't seen the sneer on the cold-faced man's face, so he naturally didn't know what the cold-faced man was thinking. Of course, even if he knew, Wu Xi would probably just laugh it off. Although the cold-faced man doesn't look down on Wu Xi's "casual" style, after all, this "senior" has just brushed up on deterrence and educated himself to be a man, so the cold-faced man didn't dare to resist, so he had to obey orders for the time being.
He walked over to the ding, squatted down, took out a bamboo tube from his pocket, put it in front of his mouth, and blew on the ding's nostrils. After waiting for a few seconds, he went directly to move the housekeeper, and the housekeeper really didn't wake up, obviously sleeping more deeply. But it's no wonder, you must know that he has almost absorbed the entire tube of smoke, and it is estimated that he will not wake up until at least noon tomorrow.
When he removed the family from the door, Wu Xi lifted his leg and tapped the wooden door lock, gently broke the door lock, opened the wooden door and walked in. Although the movement was slight, the door lock was made of metal after all, and it was inevitable that there would be a little noise, and the sound alarmed the person inside, and he moved, slowly looking up at the few people who had entered the firewood room. When he saw Wu Xi's face clearly, the bloodless face suddenly became excited, and the two gray eyes also regained their brilliance, and he said in disbelief: "Lord? Is it you, Lord? “
When Wu Xi took two steps closer and could see Wu Xi's face more clearly, he immediately said ecstatically: "Lord! It's really you! Haha, are you here to save your subordinates? This is really woo woo woo" said that he couldn't help crying in the back. The cold-faced man on the side saw him like this, his face turned pale, Lord? It's for one person! And this person looked at Wu Xi in fear, if it was true, then he really deserved to die!
"Oh? It's you. Wu Xi was also a little surprised to see the man's face, he knew this person and had seen it many times. When the man saw that Wu Xi knew him, he became even more excited, and sobbed: "Lord, it's me, it's really an honor that you haven't forgotten me."
Wu Xi nodded, he remembered that this person was the dog he stole his money bag in Wazi when he was six years old, and later he gave him many lessons, and his code name "Hook" was still arranged for him by himself. The last time I saw him was before the attack on Mantuo Villa, and he fainted from training at the base, which made him even more memorable. This subordinate has always been the hardest working of all people, but his talent is very average, and he was very surprised to see him enter the shadows at that time, but he didn't expect to see this person here again.
"The lord and his subordinates are rude, please punish the lord!" The cold-faced man knelt down and said in a trembling voice, he naturally knew this captured senior, not only because he went out of the village with him to do tasks, but because the hook was originally very famous in the shadows. Because the hook is one of the oldest members of the first class of teachers, one of the few members who have been taught by the Lord himself, his status can be described as a patriarch in the shadows.
Not only that, but his mediocre qualifications and efforts that are far beyond the reach of ordinary people are also the reasons why he is famous. You must know that the members of the first session are relatively few, and there are only no more than ten people left after graduating dozens of people, and these veterans who have survived countless difficulties and countless times at the hands of death are now all gold medal killers, and they are the right-hand men that the Lord relies on the most. However, he is the only exception among these people, because his qualifications are too mediocre, not only by these members of the same class, but even surpassed by some latecomers, and now he is only a bronze medal killer, known as "the hardest working idiot".
"Then such a person must know the Lord, so the identity of the Lord is naturally undoubted, and he has been so rude to the Lord before this!" Thinking of this, the cold-faced man felt that he was really blind, and the cold sweat instantly wet the vest. Annoyed and frightened, almost no one knew the horror of the Witch Seal better than the members of the Shadows, it was not the kind of fear that martial arts could bring, but a horror that was even more irresistible, more terrifying than death.
Wu Xi let him kneel, and didn't let him get up, just found a bench, swept away the dust on it with his strength, and put Mu Wanqing on it. After letting her sit on herself, Wu Xi looked at the cold-faced man, first snorted heavily, and then said, "I really didn't expect it, how long did I let go?" My closest sword doesn't even know my master, hum, Wu Shun is really good at training people~"
"Enlighten the Lord! The subordinates are not from the 'Shaopei Hall', and they have never seen the holy face of the Lord before. The owner of the net has no two hearts, forgive his subordinates for their own speculation, the adults must be the safety of the Lord, so they keep it secret from their subordinates! Usually, adults often teach their subordinates 'loyalty', 'sacrifice', 'fearless', and 'decisive', and their subordinates never dare to forget! The cold-faced man hurriedly explained.
"Shaopeitang" is Wu Xi's institution to train those young people who are loyal to him, and with the expansion of Wu Xi's power, its branch halls have spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty and a few other countries, accepting local orphaned children. Wu Xi brainwashed these teenagers who did not consolidate the three views here, and almost all the backbones and elites under Wu Xi's command were cultivated from this institution, distributed in the two major organizations of "Skynet" and "Sabre".
But after all, the time for Wu Xi's development is too short, and after only a few years, if only Shaopeitang's talents are used, it is obviously impossible to keep up with Wu Xi's pace. Therefore, it is also necessary to recruit talent from other places. It's just that the shadow is Wu Xi's closest force after all, and almost all of them are talents from Shaopeitang, and few others can join it. Wu Xi has a suspicious personality, and it is inevitable that he will cheat him.
"Get up." Wu Xi said that he didn't intend to embarrass this person, after all, he still trusted Wu Shun very much.
"Thank you," the cold-faced man thanked him, slowly got up, and stood aside with his hands tied.
Wu Xi nodded and asked, "What's your code name?" "The members of the Shadows are nameless and often refer to them with a code name that can be changed. Even a person who has a name like a dog must forget his name, and he must not mention it again in the future, otherwise he will be killed, and as for the reason, it is naturally to stifle the independent personality and secrecy.
"Back to the Lord, the code name of the subordinate is 'Lei'." The cold-faced man, that is, Lei, bowed his head and replied, at this time his attitude can be described as very respectful.
Wu Xi hummed, turned his head to look at the hook tied to the pillar and asked, "How did you get caught?" This question made Hook's face pale, and it was mentioned in the precepts of the shadows that if he was conscious, he would bite the poison sac in his mouth and commit suicide before being caught by the enemy, so as not to be tortured to extract a confession and betray the organization. But when he was caught, he was conscious, but he didn't dare to die, so he was locked up here.
"My subordinates were knocked unconscious, well, I fainted, and when I woke up, I was tied here, that horse face he took the poison sac from my mouth, came here every day, whipped me fiercely, and asked me about the subordinate organization" The hook stumbled and weaved the experience after being locked up, he was afraid that Wu Xi would ask him, why he didn't bite the poison sac after he was conscious, so he lied that the poison sac was searched.
After saying this, he seemed to remember something, and he said hurriedly: "But his subordinates will never dare to divulge the secrets of the organization, and would rather be killed by him than give him half a word!" This statement is very firm, but it is really not lying. Although the hook had the idea of sparing his life at that moment, his loyalty to Wu Xi at this time was beyond doubt.
Wu Xi listened to his words, nodded noncommittally, and let Hook, who had been observing Wu Xi's face, breathe a sigh of relief, but then Lei's words made him nervous again.
"Lord, my subordinates are willing to check the poison sac of the hook senior." Ray stepped forward and said, causing the hook to stiffen all over his body, and cold sweat broke out. The poison sac is the key to proving the authenticity of what the hook says, and naturally needs to be checked. But after all, the mouth is suspected of being dirty and smelly, and it is naturally impossible for Wu Xi to check it himself. Therefore, Lei took the initiative to mention it in order to show his loyalty, but there are also reasons why he has always been cautious.
If Ray saw that the poison sac was still in his mouth, the hook would definitely not survive, and he would be so frightened that the hook's face would be as white as dirt in an instant. It's just that Wu Xi's mind is not here, he has no intention of this, he shook his head and ordered: "No need, help him untie it." This sentence made Hook's nervous mood relax again, and after relaxing, he couldn't help but glance at Lei with hatred, but fortunately he quickly realized that Wu Xi was still on the scene, and this hateful look was only fleeting.
Wu Xi was looking at Mu Wanqing and didn't notice it. Lei frowned, he could see that this hook senior was dissatisfied with him, but he was not very jealous in his heart, and he didn't care about it at the moment, and stepped forward to untie the rope of the hook. The hook has been tied for a long time, the blood is a little unsmooth, the limbs are numb, and for a while, I can't stand firm and have to fall. Lei on the side saw it, and held the hook with his hand, but he threw it away, Lei raised his eyebrows, and didn't say anything, but he didn't support him anymore.
The hook knelt on the ground and dredged his qi and blood. Except for some bruises on his chest that was hit by Zhong Wanqiu, he only suffered some flesh wounds in other parts, so he quickly stood up again.
Seeing him stand up, Wu Xi got up and picked up Mu Wanqing again, and said lightly, "Let's go" and took the lead to walk out of the door, Lei Hegou hurriedly followed behind him, but he was about to leave the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations.
