Chapter 42: The Uninvited Guest

"I heard my father-in-law say that you are good at assassination and sneak attacks, if you make a secret move, can you kill the person in the house?"

Xu Rui asked in a deep voice.

Ying Yu frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Fifty percent sure." ”

"Enough!"

Xu Rui took out a small bell, which was a gadget that he had bought casually on the street before.

"Be prepared, if you see the bell hit the ground in a moment, you will wait for the opportunity to strike, and you must kill with one blow. Remember to wait for the bell to hit the ground, or I'll die inside, and you must not make a move. ”

Shadow Yu's face turned pale, but he still nodded.

Xu Rui waved his hand, and the shadow of the shadow disappeared.

He hurriedly straightened his collar, put on a nonchalant expression, and pushed the door into the room.

The room was pitch black, Xu Rui touched the round table, took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp, and the dim light gradually illuminated the whole room, reflecting a black shadow.

Unexpectedly, instead of hiding in the shadows, the black shadow was beside him, sitting at the table with a golden sword.

"Ah, who?!"

Rao is Xu Rui was mentally prepared and was also frightened enough by this guy who suddenly appeared, but this exclamation was ninety percent false.

"Xu Zuoling claims to be able to communicate yin and yang, how can he be scared by Wang?"

The person at the table sneered, and Xu Rui was stunned when he saw the person's appearance.

He also knew this person, but he was a general of the personal guard battalion, and his immediate boss Wang Man!

When he was in Yishui, Wang Man invited him to discuss matters in the middle of the night, and he sneered at him in front of Yushan Pass, and now he appeared directly in his room.

Xu Rui immediately realized that all this would not be a coincidence, who was Wang Man, and why did he keep an eye on him?

While thinking, he said quietly: "It turned out to be General Wang, the general didn't sleep late at night, why did he appear in the lowly room?" ”

Wang Man said with a smile: "Naturally, there are some things I want to discuss with Xu Zuoling. ”

Xu Rui said: "The general is looking for a lowly position, just send a personal notice, why bother to go on this trip in person?" ”

Wang Man sneered: "Now that Xu Zuoling is most of the family of Beiwuwei, his face is ridiculously big, if Wang doesn't come in person, how can he be lucky enough to meet you?" ”

Xu Rui didn't seem to be aware of his sarcasm, picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for Wang Man, and said with a smile: "General Wang's words are serious, Xu Rui is also General Wang's subordinate anyway, if the general is invited, how dare he disobey?" ”

"Really?"

Wang Man squinted his eyes and glanced at Xu Rui, and said lightly: "It turns out that Xu Zuoling still remembers that he is Wang's subordinate, so why did he act without permission these days and didn't have a verbal conversation with Wang?" ”

"Unauthorized action?"

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Why can't you understand General Wang's words, I don't know what you are referring to?" ”

Wang Man sneered and said sharply: "Enough! I don't have the kung fu to play dumb riddles with you, and you don't have to pretend to be stupid. Boy, don't think that if you grab the handle, I'll let you fish and meat, only I know your identity, even if I kill you, no one will come to track you down! ”

Handle? Identity?

Xu Rui's heart moved, and he immediately grabbed these two keywords, Wang Man's identity is really different, and it seems that he has some entanglement with his original self, but he doesn't have that part of the memory and doesn't know the specific situation.

Gotta find a way to set his words!

Just thinking about it, Wang Man suddenly saw Xu Rui's right hand heading towards the belt mold, his eyes suddenly narrowed, his body moved slightly, and he appeared in front of Xu Rui in an instant, grabbed his wrist and flipped it out.

Xu Rui only felt as if his wrist was firmly clamped by iron tongs, and a sharp pain rushed straight to his head, as if his bones were about to crack, and the bell in his palm could no longer be hidden, and it was exposed.

Wang Man saw that there was no hidden weapon in his palm, only a bell, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Xu Rui endured the severe pain and smiled reluctantly: "It's just an ordinary bell, if General Wang likes to take it, why bother?" ”

Wang Man snorted coldly, grabbed the bell, and his body moved again, returning to his original position in an instant.

His speed was incredible, Xu Rui didn't see how he came and went from beginning to end, Ying Yu was right, this person was indeed a master.

Wang Man took the bell and looked at it carefully, and when he saw that it was not strange, he put the bell on the table, Xu Rui rubbed his wrist and sat down, thinking about how to break the predicament in front of him.

However, after a short silence, it was Wang Man who spoke first.

"Open the skylight and say something bright, Wang is indeed a trick to use you privately from Shangfeng, but if you want to take this opportunity to play any tricks, it will be too naΓ―ve.

Boy, once you set foot on this road, you have no qualifications to turn back, even if you just take the opportunity to get on the throne, and there are still tricks after that, but if you want to bypass me, then you can't!

Remember, you're just a marionette, and I'm the one who controls the puppet, and your life will always be in my hands.

There will only be one warning tonight, you better be smart, if you dare to play tricks again, I will definitely let you die without a place to be buried! ”

After speaking, Wang Man waved his right hand slightly, and the closed window immediately seemed to be pushed by someone, and the two window pages popped open, he stood up, only took one step towards the window, and the whole person came to the window in an instant.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, because of your unauthorized actions, someone will die!"

After saying this, Wang Man jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

As soon as he left, Shadow Yu immediately jumped out of the shadows and rushed in front of Xu Rui.

"Young master, are you alright?"

Ying Yu asked with concern, but didn't hear any answer, and looked at Xu Rui again.

At this time, Xu Rui's eyes were round, the corners of his lips trembled slightly, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.

"I see...... I know...... That's what happened......"

Listening to Xu Rui's evil muttering, Ying Yu suddenly felt anxious.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Rui ignored her, suddenly grabbed the oil lamp on the table, turned around and rushed out of the room, kicking open the door next door.

"Xu Fang, Xu Fang!"

The shadow leaped and jumped like a ghost, climbing up the beam of the next room, watching Xu Rui yell in that room.

Fortunately, he had no intention of going out, and Shadow Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and did not stop him again, but secretly guarded against possible dangers.

Xu Fang, who was sleeping in a daze, was woken up by screaming, and hurriedly got up from the quilt, looking at the young master with sleepy eyes.

Xu Rui lifted the quilt, pulled Xu Fang out, and said hurriedly: "Xu Fang, do you remember that I ran away from home for three whole years?" ”

Xu Fang scratched his scalp and nodded.

"Do you remember why I ran away from home, and what the situation was like?"

Xu Rui asked again.

Xu Fang gradually woke up from his sleepiness, and when he heard the young master mention the reason for running away from home, a touch of indignation suddenly appeared on his face.

"Young master, it's good that you don't mention it, the old slave has been upset for you so far!"

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

"Master Hou is good at everything, but he is too busy with military affairs on weekdays and has no time to clean up the housework, so that his wife and the three sons are unkind and unskilled!

Since you entered the door of the Yang family, they have regarded you as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, a nose and an eye, and the slightest misconduct will attract a humiliation, or even a severe beating all night.

A few years ago, you were so bullied by them that you ran out on a snowy day, and when your lady found out, she said that it was better for the wild seed to die outside, so as not to be upset.

It wasn't until half a month later, when Master Hou took us back home from the barracks, that he learned of your disappearance.

Hou Ye was so anxious to die at that time, he immediately visited relatives and friends, and mobilized all his forces to find you, but you seemed to have evaporated from the world and never appeared again, and this trip was a full three years.

Until half a year ago, when you suddenly returned home by yourself, Hou Ye was naturally pleasantly surprised and got drunk that night.

Later, I don't know why, Hou Ye seemed to be in a bad mood, so he talked with you all night, and then led you into the army.

Later, it was the Shengshang soldiers, and Beiwuwei went to Jingyang to fight this big battle......"

Xu Rui listened to Xu Fang's description quietly, and his face became more and more ugly.

Xu Fang saw that his complexion was really bad, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, why did you suddenly ask about the events of the year?" Did Master Hou say something to you? ”

With a "snap", Xu Rui slapped his palm on the table, startling Xu Fang.

"Motive, this is the motive, it turned out to be dark under the light, I should have known that it was dark under the light, how the hell am I stupid to such a point?!"

Xu Rui burst into foul language, but not because of Xu Fang, but because of himself.

He guessed correctly, Wang Man was indeed the key to solving the puzzle, but the answer to the mystery made him chagrined.

It turned out that the secret chess spy who made him easy to find was not Yang Weiyuan, let alone someone else, it was Xu Rui himself!

More than three years ago, Xu Rui at that time should not have been able to stand the humiliation of Yang Weiyuan's wife and children, and left home angrily, but somehow he was discovered by the dark chess people, and was taken to a secret place for training for three years, becoming a double agent.

Xu Rui went home half a year ago, and this time was very ambiguous, maybe it was to spy on the intelligence of the Jingyang War.

Yang Weiyuan should have known Xu Rui's secret chess identity a long time ago, so his attitude towards himself was so cold at the beginning, and he didn't even take a look at the arrow wound, because he knew that the reason why the enemy was able to accurately find Cao Gonggong's grain transportation team was simply because Xu Rui himself leaked the information!

At that time, Yang Weiyuan should have been very disappointed in Xu Rui, until he replaced Xu Rui for some reason, saw through the encirclement strategy of the Southern Dynasty, and advocated bringing the army out of danger despite everyone's opposition, which slowly changed.

Because of this, Yang Weiyuan warned himself under Yishui City: "The means and tricks are all small roads, the big husband should have the courage to keep the bottom line for a long time, and he must not destroy his future for the sake of shortcuts!" ”

It is precisely because of this that tonight he will feel that it is not easy to grow up, and it is even more difficult to turn back.

originally thought that this father-in-law was indifferent, but he didn't expect him to be so kind to him.

Thinking back to the beginning, when he told him that the army had fallen into the encirclement of the Southern Dynasty, it should have been the time when he found that he was still betraying the intelligence of the army and was very disappointed in himself.

But even so, in the end, he still took a huge risk, believed in a Southern Dynasty spy, and even entrusted the entire Northern Wuwei to himself, what kind of care and trust is this?

Xu Rui clenched his fists, trembling all over, tears kept rolling in his eyes, how did Xu Fang and Ying Yu know that his heart was surging at the moment, they all thought that he had fallen into a mad demon and were worried.

"It makes sense, it makes sense, so that everything makes sense......"

He muttered to himself, stood up in despair, and walked towards his room, even deaf to Xu Fang's loud shouts behind him.

However, when he walked to the door of the room, he suddenly shook his whole body and was on the spot.

"Wait a minute, there's one more thing that doesn't make sense."

Xu Rui's mind was in a hurry, carefully recalling all the details of the meeting with Wang Man just now.

Wang Man must be a member of the dark chess, and he should be regarded as the core figure of the dark chess placed in the Beiwuwei, from the few words he just said, and the situation he has mastered, at least some important information can be obtained.

First, Wang Man said, "Only I know your identity, even if I kill you, no one will come to investigate", indicating that the original Xu Rui should have a one-line contact with Wang Man, and it is likely that he is the only one in the dark chess who knows that he is a spy.

Second, he came here today to give himself a warning, not to kill himself, at least not immediately.

Third, Yang Weiyuan shouldn't know that Wang Man is a person of dark chess, because with his temperament, once he knows Wang Man's identity, even if it is just to drag himself out of the fire pit, he will definitely kill Wang Man secretly, and how can he continue to be at ease?

Summing up these three points, Xu Rui suddenly found a huge problem.

The reason why Yang Weiyuan gave the shadow to himself was mostly because he realized that he was in danger, but this danger obviously did not come from Wang Man.

But if the danger doesn't come from Wang Man, where will it come from? Doesn't it have anything to do with dark chess?

Dark chess ...... Shadow ...... Dark chess ...... Shadow ......

Wait a minute!

Xu Rui suddenly remembered the gang leader he met before leaving the county office, Yang Weiyuan usually pays great attention to health preservation, and never eats after dark, how could he arrange for someone to send him supper?

What's more, he is not in a good mood today, even if he wants to make an exception, how can he have the appetite to eat supper?

Also, the Chinese army's room is obviously inside the county office, how can they send supper from outside the county office?

The guard camp was controlled by Wang Man, and before he left, he said: "I forgot to tell you, because of your unauthorized actions, someone will die!" ”

Because of his own unauthorized actions, Beiwuwei was about to break away from the control of King Wuling, and the people of Dark Chess must be very anxious, and there was only one way for them to solve this matter, and that was to take action against Yang Weiyuan, the commander of the army.

It just so happened that Yang Weiyuan learned that he was in danger and gave him his personal death, which gave him the opportunity to play dark chess!

Therefore, he only came back from the county government meeting with his front foot, and Wang Man waited in the room with his back foot!

Broken! That gang leader is not sending supper, he is an assassin of dark chess, Yang Weiyuan is in danger!

Thinking of this, Xu Rui was like a thunderbolt, his face turned white instantly, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
