The night is getting deeper.

As the war approached, a curfew had begun to be imposed in Heijo, and by the end of the day, the streets had fallen silent. Guards are constantly walking along with long tunes, and locks are erected at important street interchanges.

Although the enemy has not yet arrived in the city, Heijo has long since lost the noise of the past, and has been replaced by an endless depression.

Of course, this is only the surface of the story.

After all, this is a special place, no matter how urgent the situation is, many establishments here that stay open until late at night still do not give up the opportunity to make money, and even bring more income to them because of the large number of people entering the county.

While it doesn't make a fuss after curfew, the bright lights, the occasional laughter, or the thump of a hard object indicate that the city is clearly far from a time of silence.

Even if you don't plan to stay outside, you can bring a bag of honeysuckle, take a prescription for treating bruises, and a slightly honest smile, and basically won't be too embarrassed by the beating husband or the soldier who checks it.

After all, for such a thing, both Guan Hai and Fa Zheng turned a blind eye, as long as those people were not so stupid as to forget their identities and dare to confront the officers and soldiers head-on, the two commanders could also understand the anxious mood of these people at this time.

The previous thunderbolt method had already made these people feel a huge pressure, and if the entire Heijo was turned into a prison-like cage, the two of them were also worried about whether the final result would completely collapse everyone's already tense spirits.

No matter what these people say, they are not serious soldiers. At most, it is a quasi-military organization with the color of military organization, especially those merchants, put it in the Western Han Dynasty, the Han law that inherited the Qin law but put the merchants and slaves and untouchables on the same level, every time the government conscripts the people to join the army to fight, it will often turn those low-status small businessmen and criminals into a camp that dares to die, so that they can rush to the front line, and they may lose their heads at any time, so their freedom before the war will be slightly greater.

Just like now, as long as you don't make trouble. Drinking, prostitution, gambling and so on, let them do it.

Of course. If you lose the courage when you should be desperate on the battlefield, the methods of those law enforcement teams will always be the most ruthless.

Therefore, since you don't know what fate will come in the future, it is better to have a good time. It's addicted and then die.

"I really envy those merchants. Even during the curfew, you can go to those places and have fun. It's not like us, we can only patrol here, and we can't strictly check those guys when we encounter them. I'm afraid of scaring them, it's really unlucky! ”

"Okay, okay, you should say less about this kind of thing, especially don't let the brothers in the camp hear it, otherwise be careful that they beat you."

"Yes, yes, who said it didn't come, if it weren't for the curfew required in this situation, we people wouldn't have been able to get so much extra income in such a short time, if I can cut off the heads of five or six Xianbei people in this battle, I should be able to get a daughter-in-law, it's really not bad to buy a Hu slave, it looks healthier and should be better to raise."

Hearing the words of the last soldier guarding the street entrance, all the soldiers let out a low laugh, and I don't know if they were laughing at his idea as a delusion, or if they felt that his idea was too unproductive, after all, even remote areas in these years would be somewhat affected by the "Great Han Chauvinism", thinking that the blood of the Han people was more noble, and if the blood of a foreign woman was mixed into the Han people, it might be a very proud thing for the foreign people, but it was a little difficult for the Han people to accept.

Therefore, if it is not for poverty or other reasons, the general foreign women who marry Han people are basically foreign women, and the status of foreign women is much higher than that of Han people, so it is more likely that there is a greater possibility, and it is also because the folk customs of the border areas are more open.

It's just that those are things that only big people pay attention to, for these big-headed soldiers, the bloodline is really not as important as those high-ranking lords, and it is not easy to continue their bloodline, so why be picky.

The pleasant atmosphere blew away the originally unsettling cold, and the resentment that had accumulated in my heart seemed to turn into a vision of the future with laughter, although I was used to seeing life and death in the borderland, but in recent years, even if they were a little chaotic compared to the people in other places, it was still very peaceful and peaceful if it was limited to the city of Heijo.

Most of these soldiers did not have any lofty ideals, and for them, a peaceful and stable life may be enough.

"Huh? Did you feel the wind blowing just now, as if it was different from the normal wind, as if a person had passed by? ”

While the group of big-headed soldiers were talking, a soldier suddenly asked his companion with a puzzled expression on his face.

Such a suspicious appearance naturally aroused the ridicule of the other companions—in this northern frontier, in this season, not to mention a gentle breeze, even a cold wind was not too unusual, and the gale like a knife could definitely make the night patrol the most painful thing in the world.

Then, as usual, a few big-headed soldiers were still chatting about their lives and their futures, and the streets, as usual, were only a little light near the candle flames, and the rest of the place was only gloomy. Only occasionally, the wind would bring a few coquettish voices of women and rough voices of men from afar, which made the big-headed soldiers fall into charming associations.

A qiē is still the same as usual, there is no difference.

The Li family caravan where Li Shushi was located was in the stronghold of Pingcheng, and it was also brightly lit at this time, and from time to time bursts of laughter could be heard from the courtyard, sounding as if there was some interesting activity going on inside, which caused everyone to laugh.

This seems to be the case.

The current Xiaoqiang's image can be said to be quite bad, not only disgraced. Even the bun didn't come loose at some point, and the long hair was draped behind his head, with a little natural curl, and sweat kept running down his cheeks, mixed with mud and sand, leaving deep and shallow marks on his dark skin, which had lost its original color.

But the most important thing is that Xiaoqiang's current image is a very standard "ass backwards flat sand and goose style", and this means that he once again challenged Old Man Tong's behavior in the past few days, and got a shameful failure.

Although such an ending was already expected by everyone. And Xiaoqiang's spirit of repeated defeats and repeated defeats is still very worthy of praise. It's just that because of the party's way of defeat, which can be called a trick to death, it turned the original admiration into speechlessness.

It's as if when watching Tom and Jerry, it's hard for anyone to be impressed by the old cat's spirit of repeated defeats, but more to look forward to how the old cat with cups and utensils will be next time the city mouse is obviously not as simple as the little mouse on the prairie.

So when Xiao Qiang once again refreshed the lower limit and was directly kicked by the old man Tong into his current appearance, watching Xiao Qiang try to support his body, but because of exhaustion, he finally became a freshly baked "corpse" lying on the ground. Then, as if he had formed a routine, Old Man Tong picked up the spear in his hand and poked Xiaoqiang's head with the head of the gun. When I plan to shape Xiaoqiang into a "flesh Buddha" again. It's no surprise that everyone burst into good-natured smiles because of this.

"The spirit is commendable, but you still can't see where the gap between the two of us is?"

"It's just that I've found the path that suits me best, as long as I keep going. Sooner or later, this kind of course can be achieved. ”

The answer is correct and incorrect. If you can find your own path and keep going, it is indeed possible to achieve higher achievements than me with your qualifications. But now the question is, have you really found your path to follow? ”

One sentence made Xiao Qiang fall into silence completely, completely ignoring his current image full of hair and closing his eyes and contemplating, and this brought a stronger comedic effect to everyone, so that everyone couldn't help but laugh, even the air was full of joy, it can be said that if everyone didn't sleep well enough tonight, then Yiqiē's mistake was completely because of Xiao Qiang.

"Okay, although this question is very important for a martial artist like you, there is no need to be in such a hurry, this kind of realization is not something that can be figured out overnight. But this is just for me personally, after all, I am not a talented person, that is, a little bit stronger than ordinary people, so I thought that Wang Yue should be more suitable for training a genius like you than me. Zilong, drag Feng Xian back, even if you want to figure it out earlier, you don't need to lie on the ground. ”

Well, seeing Xiao Qiang, who seems to be feeling the coldness of the ground and jumping up quickly, it is estimated that you would never have thought that this funny guy would be the most accomplished martial artist among the younger generation of the Han Empire today.

But probably because he is funny, Lu Bu, who has removed other ideas, has the upper hand in his martial idiot attributes - he can be tricked by the old man Tong like a dog, but when he finds that he has met a good opponent, he will disobey the order and travel thousands of miles, and now because of the words of the old man Tong who has made a new breakthrough, he will make even more comical behavior.

In a certain sense, Xiaoqiang is also a typical example of forgetting other things for the sake of his ideals.

Well, it's like the legendary Newton and Einstein, who boiled their pocket watches as eggs for hours, and the calculation formula was fascinated by characters like Chen Jingrun, who not only walked on the main road and could hit a telephone pole on the side, but also kept apologizing to the telephone pole afterwards.

This should be regarded as a talent, at least it seems that the "good boy" Zilong sauce is quite envious of Xiaoqiang's "simplicity".

Of course, as a tracheitis patient, Zilongchan can't learn Xiaoqiang's "simple" style in the relationship between men and women.

It is estimated that if that happens, the wailing that often sounded in Zilong-chan's mansion some time ago will appear again...... Absolute.

Shaking his head, but with a doting smile on his face, Old Man Tong staggered away from this martial arts arena that was still full of joy, but many people noticed that when he left, he stared at this completely empty space for five seconds for a long time, and then returned to his room with a more mysterious and weird smile.

Is there any deep meaning to Old Man Tong's actions?

Although Li Shushi couldn't see any changes. But as long as he saw that Zhao Yun and Tai Shici's original relaxed expressions were replaced by solemnity, and Dian Wei even blocked his body in front of him, Xiao Qiang, who looked exhausted, also stood up as a harrier in the name of his Xiao Qiang, full of uneasy murderous and explosive power - let's just say that this Xiao Qiang was not so easy to be beaten down by Old Man Tong after a few rounds of attacks, and the reason why he looked out of body was just that he felt too embarrassed, so he didn't want to compete anymore under the pretext that his body was exhausted. Otherwise, Xiaoqiang's body would probably have been squeezed dry by ×× a long time ago.

Of course, the whole house, except for the old man Tong who had returned to the house, looked nervous...... It doesn't seem to be able to say that completely, at least Su Xiaololi and the ghosts around her can't see any nervousness at all. Chen Dao looked nervous. But no matter how you look at that face, it's more like it's full of words "I'm confused, I don't know what to do", and I always feel that if it weren't for Nero's kindness to take her in one direction to carry out the realm, this girl who has always been very serious about doing things will probably choose to hang herself directly.

All right. Because I was frightened, the most serious and strict female secretary (PU) around me was also the most interesting to play. That bastard hiding in the shadows of nowhere, must also be punished with the severest sanctions. Oh god!

"Ahh It's as if those 'uninvited' guests have already left. Probably because the response here is so fast, maybe it has already dispersed to find other valuable targets. ”

After a while, nothing changed, but everyone was still on guard. Only Su Xiaololi yawned, and Shi Shiran left the martial arts arena, looking as if she was about to go to bed because she was too bored.

It's just Su Xiaololi, why did you only take Zhen Xiaololi and Qiao Lori to warm your bed? Although I know that with the physique of a ghost, although it can almost perfectly simulate the various abilities of a real person, it has completely different characteristics from the living in terms of body temperature and fertility - not to mention the latter, the slightly cold feeling of the former is indeed impossible to warm the bed.

It can't be said that holding a ghost is like holding an ice cube, but it does not feel comfortable when you hold it in winter.

So, it seems that everyone has relaxed their guard because of Su Xiaololi's words.

After all, even if Old Man Tong's combat power is now higher than Xiaoqiang's, it takes some time and energy to defeat Xiaoqiang, not like Su Xiaololi, "Let your Xiaoqiang fly all over the sky, I will drift from Lori, one punch will not be discussed, and two punches will not be explained", so if you talk about the recognized number one master of the state army, it has to be our Su Xiaololi.

Of course, this is also because Su Xiaololi is the top spot in the Bingzhou Pastoral Mansion, so Miss Luo He can only be ranked second.

It's just who is more powerful between these two, even if the two people sometimes go toe-to-toe, but they have never competed in force, and I don't know if it's because the contest between the two sides is too ferocious to destroy the world, or if I think that as a qualified lady, that kind of very imageless tearing war is too disrespectful, anyway, this ranking has been recognized.

"Ahahahaha~ Such a beautiful day, slut, do you want to have a shot?"

Because this sentence was said to Nero sauce instead of Chen Dao's children's shoes next to him, although it also made Chen Dao red-faced, but he finally didn't faint, it stands to reason that the other party didn't hear anything more powerful than this when he was in the fruit illusion, but at that time, it didn't seem to have a reaction at all, but now it has become so reactive.

I always feel that there is some unknown conspiracy in the middle.

Of course, because the object of the date is Nero sauce, in fact, Li Shushi can understand it even if he doesn't say anything to the other party - although he has become a woman, although he can only be Li Shushi's ghost, some characteristics seem to be unchangeable.

Ahem, I won't talk about what it is, what I can't understand are rare good children, just like pure primary school students.

However, this adjective seems to have been used only recently, and it may not be long before it will be replaced by kindergarten students.

It's really a sad story -- just in a certain way.

And just when everyone seemed to be ready to pack up and go back to the room to rest, Li Shushi even hugged Nero's little waist with one hand. One hand was gently placed on Chen Dao's shoulder, and with a playful look, he watched his body gradually heat up, and his face turned red.

Suddenly......

A gust of wind drifted softly, so gently that people could not feel the air flow that was disturbed only for a moment.

But it was also this light hallucinatory air current, but with the will of death, gently close to Li Shushi's neck, until he noticed it, the slightest chill had already passed through his entire neck as if it had completely cut off his entire neck.

It seems that as long as he goes a little further, Li Shushi will be able to complete his "historical mission" and retire with honor.

"It's a pity, it's already so close. But he couldn't close this last bit of distance. ”

Look at the assassin in front of him, wrapping himself in black tones. Seeing the unbelievable feelings reflected in those ink-black eyes, the mocking smile on Li Shushi's face became more obvious, laughing at the other party's indiscretion.

"I command in the name of my master, Nero. Capture all the Assassins who came to assassinate them. ”

The same words were said three times. The three golden patterns on his arms, which were usually hidden under the robes, suddenly cracked. Disintegrated into scattered golden dots of light, which then vanished in an instant.

At the same time, they could only compete with the assassins. Nero-chan, who was even slightly inferior in strength, shook his wrist slightly, and opened the dagger in the assassin's hand, and then took advantage of the assassin's middle door to kick the opponent's other hand crossbow away, and then strode and pierced the opponent's abdomen with the long sword that had already ignited the flame in his hand.

Looking around, the situation of the rest of the assassins is also very bad, in the face of the skillful and tacit cooperation of the personal guards of the state army, under the leadership of several generals, these assassins have no advantage in raiding, and there is no advantage in numbers, and it is not too surprising to be firmly suppressed by everyone, but because Li Shushi is asking for "capture" rather than a simple killing, it seems that the situation is still a little stalemate for the time being, and those assassins seem to be able to hold on for the time being.

However, by this time, no one thought that the Assassins would be able to accomplish their intended mission, and certainly not be able to escape, so it seemed that there was only one option left for them......

Using the dagger in his hand to block the long knife in Xu Huang's hand, the assassin used the sharp blade in his hand to directly penetrate his temple with the pain of being stabbed by his own guard, and shot out a cloud of black and brown things, which made people feel very disgusted when they saw it.

But what surprised them even more was that the assassin who had turned into a corpse not only did not shed anything, but with a very slight "bang", it turned into a flying black point of light in the sky, and disappeared in all directions.

It looks similar to the golden pattern on Li Shushi's arm that suddenly collapsed and disappeared.

Seeing this, the other Assassins seemed to be following suit and preparing to do the same. It's a pity that before they could make a move, they saw their bodies flash blue electric light, and then their bodies twitched due to the bioelectric disorder, and they fell to the ground one after another, unable to make any movements at all, let alone commit suicide.

As a result, the strange assassins who must have come from the "mysterious man" were tied up into zongzi one by one.

It looks like these poor guys are going to spend their last days on Su Xiaololi's dissecting table.

Although it is too cruel to dissect it alive, it doesn't seem to make people feel like this kind of anti-human existence, but it will have a very refreshing feeling.

Sure enough, compared to being merciful or something, the more cruel you are to this kind of enemy who hurts your relatives and friends, the more you can make your thoughts clear.

Although the enemy is indeed very strange and not ordinary difficult in terms of strength, it is just a group of assassins after all, assassins who have seen the light die.

Looking at the piles of "big zongzi" in front of you, anyone will have such an idea.

At this moment, a terrifying murderous aura and cold aura came straight towards Li Shushi, and for a moment, Li Shushi could almost feel that death was in front of him, and even if he got rid of the interference of this illusion, he still felt that it seemed impossible for him to escape from this murderous aura full of death.

He will inevitably die in this assassination! (To be continued......)
