Chapter 516: Shocking Change
The bang struck three times, and the watchman yawned and walked down the street, the lantern in his hand swaying slightly with his movement, and the candle flame gradually faded away.
Shanxi Road at night doesn't look so different from Chang'an and Jinling.
Hiding in the shadows, the real appearance is far less clear than what you can see in the daytime.
It doesn't matter if it's a city or a person.
Zhang Xie stood on the roof and looked at a room on the third floor of the inn.
The dim candlelight pulled the figure to the elder, and the figure was walking left and right, just looking at the figure, there was an indescribable anxiety rushing to his face.
It's the innkeeper who smiles kindly during the day.
In the middle of the night, I don't sleep, but I walk around the house alone?
Are you worried about business? No, the inn business is one of the few good businesses in the entire Shanxi Road, and this inn is the largest inn in the city, but any caravan will inevitably stay in this inn as long as they pass through Shanxi Road.
Zhang Xie chuckled: I don't know what made the boss anxious and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
A figure appeared on the roof of the inn, dressed in black and masked, dressed like a nocturnal assassin, and Zhang Xie raised his eyebrows.
The masked black-clad assassin looked up as if sensing something.
The flags planted on the roof were blown by the night wind, making a small cracking sound.
It's the wind.
The assassin breathed a sigh of relief, and the cat's waist rose and fell and disappeared behind the roof.
Zhang Xie dodged out from behind the flag, did not follow, and still looked at the opposite side.
The view from this rooftop is excellent, and you can clearly see the row of inns on the other side.
The shadow of the innkeeper walking back and forth suddenly stopped, and the next moment, a figure appeared opposite him.
Zhang Xie stood on the roof and looked at the two figures silently, and suddenly smiled.
No wonder she always says that as long as she does something, she will definitely leave evidence. Right now, the thing in the inn opposite that God knows what you know and I know, didn't it appear clearly in front of his eyes?
He didn't need to hear what they were saying clearly, a masked assassin in a night robe, and an innkeeper who didn't sleep in the middle of the night, the two met.
What they're going to do next is clear.
The boss gives the order, and the assassin does it.
They're going to kill someone, and they're going to do it soon, before dawn.
Such a message is sufficient.
Zhang Xie flashed and walked into the inn, the assassin had not left yet, if he wanted to leave this place and kill people elsewhere, he was afraid that it would be too late, could it be to kill people in the inn? Who is that going to kill?
He walked calmly in the corridor, people have three urgencies, even if he is dressed as a dusty woman, it is still necessary to get up and be respectful, so there is no need to panic.
A figure flashed behind the flower and bamboo screen at the corner of the corridor.
"Which one doesn't have long eyes...... the person on the other side opened his mouth and scolded, only to look up and see the person blocking him was stunned, and then the scolding suddenly turned to joy, "Girl, do you remember it?" I didn't expect to meet at such a time, you and I are really fateful! ”
Zhang Xie raised his eyes to look at the smiling man opposite, who seemed to be the master of the caravan, surnamed Zheng, who had been staring at himself for the past few days.
He frowned, looked at the smiling old man, and said coldly, "Fate? Is the fate of the thatched house? ”
Master Zheng, who was happily accosting him, stiffened his face.
Well, it's really a good thing to meet by chance in the middle of the night, but it's just a thatched house...... Finally there is such an opportunity, until the day after tomorrow they are leaving, this time, may never see this girl again, just thinking about it, he made up his mind to cherish this chance encounter, even if it is the fate of the thatched house, he also admitted.
"Girl, I don't mean that in the next, in the ......" Before he finished speaking, the girl opposite suddenly changed her face, and then pressed his shoulder.
Master Zheng was excited: this girl actually took the initiative to ...... The next moment, I felt that something was wrong, and the girl's hand strength was too great, so she pressed him to the side with just one hand.
This one directly threw him on his back, and Master Zheng covered his ass that was about to crack, and opened his mouth to shout: "Aunt ......"
Before she finished speaking, she felt a sharp wind blowing beside her, and the next moment a willow leaf dart was firmly nailed to her side.
Looking at this dart that was only a stone's throw away from him, Master Zheng let out a cold sweat, and before he could react, he saw a big knife appear in his field of vision.
The black-clad masked assassin rushed out from nowhere, and the blade glowed coldly in the moonlight.
There was a sword and blood in front of him, and the black-clothed and masked assassins slashed at each other, some holding large knives and others holding willow leaf long knives. I couldn't see the number of people, and I didn't know how they could distinguish between friend and foe, Old Man Zheng, who saw the sword and sword, shrank in place, and unconsciously opened his mouth: "Stabbing ...... Assassin ......"
The next moment the person was suddenly picked up.
Master Zheng was startled, the choking fat powder gas came to his face, but the woman's face covered with fat powder in the sword light and blood shadow did not show any softness, but a kind of murderous coldness.
"Auntie......" he opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to reach out and drag her.
It's just that before the hand can reach her, the person is a little farther away.
Only then did he realize that this girl was extraordinarily tall, even taller than many men, and now she was picked up like this, Master Zheng trembled, and the next moment, a male voice sounded in his ears.
"Why did they kill you?"
Man...... Male? Master Zheng was stunned, looking at the beautiful girl who opened her mouth in the moonlight, it was an illusion! This is not true.
Seeing that the rich businessman surnamed Zheng in front of him was still looking at him, Zhang Xie frowned and spoke again: "Say!" The Assassins who had popped out of nowhere gave him a bad feeling, and it was not clear to him whether the person in front of him had anything to do with these Assassins.
Damn, it's really a man! Master Zheng gasped in fright, and his eyes fell on his chest, originally thought that he was slim and thin and not plump, but it turned out that there was no at all!
"No, I don't know." Old Man Zheng shook his head dumbfoundedly, turned his head to look at the dense sword light and blood shadow in front of him, and the sound of the sword entering the flesh made him tremble, "Who are they?" ”
"I don't know!" The girl, no, the man's brows furrowed, faintly gloomy, and she only glanced at him, then turned and carried him over the roof, and ran wildly in the night.
Master Zheng was at the top of the list.
He was just an ordinary businessman, maybe a little lustful, but he was just an ordinary person, and now he was being carried and running on the roof, looking at the roof tiles flying away under his feet, he only felt dizzy in front of him, and his mouth "ah-" sounded, but after a short exclamation, he was gagged by a mass of cloth.
Help me! Master Zheng let out two exclamations of "whining", and then his neck hurt, and he soon fainted.
Beauty is fiercer than a tiger, the ancients did not deceive me, and he should no longer look for any confidantes.
……
What happened in the inn was quickly reported by the awakened guests, and in less than half an hour, the government came and surrounded the entire inn.
It was not yet dawn, and the streets around the inn were already crowded with many people who had heard the news.
"What's going on?" Many of the people were still wearing their robes, apparently just getting up from their beds and coming to watch the excitement.
This picture was freezing and did not forget to run out to see the lively move, and Zhou Shilin couldn't help frowning.
Where did these people get the news, they are in such a mess at such a time, and they don't know what is going on in the inn.
In the crowded crowd, the eyes of several people fell on Zhou Shilin, who looked impatient, and after a pause, he quietly withdrew from the crowd with lowered eyes.
"It's too late, Shanxi Road, broken!" The leader hurried towards the city gate.
"The one surnamed Qian is simply crazy!" The muttering beside him also rang out, and soon dissipated into the night before dawn.
……
The lights in the hotel were also on, and the sudden incident of tonight almost disrupted everyone's plans.
"Master Zheng, think about that guy you saw somewhere." The girl in front of her frowned and knocked on the table, pointed to the person on the portrait, and said, "This person is an extremely dangerous person, Master Zheng, one thing you know, it is very dangerous for others not to know, because this is a secret that others don't know." But if everyone knows about it, the secret will not be a secret, and your danger will naturally not be a danger. ”
Master Zheng stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, looked at the girl opposite, and ...... The man behind her.
I'm going to die, I really went south and north to see so many beauties, and I actually looked away.
What kind of beauty is this, it's clearly a man, and it's an extremely dangerous man, the kind that can run around on the roof and fly off the wall.
Sensing his gaze, the man looked here again, Master Zheng shrunk his neck in fright, and said busily: "My lord, I know what you said about the little ones, but I really can't think of them for a while!" ”
"If you can't remember, think slowly." The girl said as she glanced at him coldly, got up and walked out the door.
Master Zheng scratched the back of his head, and turned his head to look at the little girl who was holding a bowl of sweet cakes to eat: "Why do I always feel that this female adult doesn't seem to like me very much?" ”
What do you like to do? You're not good-looking. Pei Qingqing glanced at him: Moreover, I heard that this person also fell in love with Zhang Jie, it's strange that Miss Qiao can like you!
Qiao Ran, who walked out of the door, took a deep breath and pursed her lips to look at the sky that was about to wake up.
It's time.
"Zhou Shilin will leave as much alive as possible." Zhang Xie followed, draped the cloak over her shoulders, and said, "There won't be any accidents there in Bai Zhijun." ”
The girl snorted, still looking at the sky and saying nothing.
"You've done a great job." Zhang Xie sighed and said, "It's not easy for outsiders to meddle in the affairs of Shanxi Road. ”
"I like to do things from the beginning to the end, and naturally I have to be sure of everything before I do it." The girl finally spoke, she turned her head to look at him, and said, "You say, why is there such a person as Lord Qian?" ”
"I was appointed by His Majesty, and I was supposed to do my best to help him in his work, but he did not trust us at all, and he was left alone and insisted on going his own way. Now it's ...... again," the girl said and couldn't help but shake her head, her expression was a little incomprehensible and a little angry, "I know that he must have found more than me, and he knows more about these people behind Shanxi Road than I do, but if you act rashly like this, there will be fish that will slip through the net, and it is an indisputable fact that Shanxi Road has done this errand." ”
"He may feel that if he takes over this matter, he must end it." Zhang explained, "This is his beginning and end." ”
But it's not the beginning and the end of the whole thing.
"Well, this is the end of the matter, and it is useless to say any more." Qiao Ran took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
If you say that you are still a little dazed when you suddenly hear what is happening today, you can understand it after just thinking about it.
Master Zheng's assassination was related to that guy, and he casually said "familiar", which would naturally lead to death for the mastermind behind the scenes, who is cautious and cautious in everything.
It's just a coincidence that Zhang Xie went back, and happened to bump into this scene, and then rescued this inexplicable trick to kill Master Zheng.
This is still to be expected.
But what happened next was unexpected, no, maybe it was unexpected by everyone, but it was expected by Lord Qian.
The group that appeared first to prevent the assassination of Master Zheng should be Lord Qian's people, and the group that held the lancet later were not so much assassins as the guards of the inn.
The final curtain was torn apart.
"He's not startling, he's the last stand." Qiao Ran said, "If something like this happened in the inn, Zhou Shilin would lead the troops even if he was a fool, and then, of course, he discovered the secret of the inn and found that the inn was related to the so-called bandits on Shanxi Road." Lord Qian didn't believe us, or rather, he thought we were unreliable and incompetent fools who needed him to do this to discover the inn's secrets. ”
"I don't understand why he doesn't trust us colleagues so much?" Qiao Ran shook her head, obviously disdainful of what Qian Zhou did, "He may not be greedy for merit, but it is an indisputable fact that he doesn't believe in our ability." ”
"The problem is not Shanxi Road itself," the girl pursed her lips, a hint of anger flashing between her eyebrows, "even if we set it up early, what if we can catch some of their men?" If you can't catch the real mastermind behind the scenes, there will be a second Shanxi Road if you level a Shanxi Road. ”
Real anger and anger don't need to be spoken, you can feel it from the look on her face, this is her persistence and pride, but it has fallen short because of the other party's distrust. Zhang Xie stretched out his hand and hugged the girl in front of him.
The sudden warmth made Qiao Ran a little stunned, and when she looked up, she met a pair of gentle and clear eyes.
"If we can set it up once, we can set it up a second time." Zhang Xie looked at her and said, "This person is asking for so much, he will definitely show up." ”
Qiao Ran lowered her eyes and hugged him with her backhand. was originally appeased, but in exchange for her initiative...... Zhang Jie's eyes lit up, and his hands subconsciously tightened, if it was ...... It's better not to let go.
"I'm just upset." The girl's head was buried in his arms, and her voice was a little muffled, "I didn't lose to the real mastermind behind the scenes, but I lost at the hands of my colleagues." ”
But that's all it can be.
Zhang Xie snorted, and his gaze, which always fell on the girl, did not look away. The fluffy hair was scattered between the crooks of his arms, and he suddenly thought of the situation when she combed his hair last night, and heard that when a woman gets married, she will comb her hair, and there will be special elders to comb her hair, and they will ...... Can you change him to comb her hair?
Why don't you try it now?
He reached out and put his fingers into a comb, inserted it into her hair, and combed it......
"My lord, my lord......" The voice of joy came from behind him, and the girl in his arms stiffened, let go of the hand that was holding him, and looked behind him.
When Master Zheng, who was shouting "adult", looked at the two people who looked at him, his expression froze: That girl, no, that man's eyes look so terrible!
No, they seem to be ...... As if he had just noticed something, Master Zheng covered his mouth in horror!
Damn, that man and this woman seem to be a couple! Then he used to treat the man as a woman and wanted to take him home, so in this way, isn't he the one who coveted the woman by mistake?
If she is going to die, this woman will not let him go for her lover!
Master Zheng looked at the approaching girl with a bitter face: he really didn't know that her lover was okay and was so good at pretending to be a woman, and he was so beautiful, this ...... Can he be blamed for this?
Seeing this old man Zheng shouting "adult" and "adult", when she approached, the person was distracted, Qiao Ran coughed and reminded him: "Master Zheng, what's the matter?" Do you remember? ”
This startled Master Zheng came back to his senses, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I remembered, I remembered the guy I saw somewhere." ”
