Chapter 189: The Killer
"Know who we are? How will you know? Leng Nanxian quietly protected An Sheng behind him.
The man glanced at An Sheng: "Isn't it Xia Yunhai's daughter?" You're so powerful that you've found it here. It's a pity that smart people don't live long. ”
Leng Nanxian asked coldly: "Then do you know who I am?" ”
The man sneered disdainfully, "It doesn't matter who you are, the point is that today, you must become a dead man who can't speak." ”
He commanded the man in black behind him, "Brothers, leave no one behind." ”
When the man in black got the order, he immediately couldn't help but speak, and rushed towards An Sheng and Leng Nanxian viciously.
Both of them are unarmed, not to mention that they are both powerless, how can they fight against these killers with strong martial arts?
And An Sheng's little fight and Sister-in-law Feng's kung fu to learn the three-legged cat are even more unbearable in front of these vicious killers.
Leng Nanxian's hand holding An Sheng suddenly tightened, and pushed behind him: "Run!" ”
The sword and sword shadow follow the shape like a shadow.
"Suffer death!"
The leader's feet were slightly wrong, one hand was a claw, and he viciously went straight to Leng Nanxian's throat.
As soon as it was too late, a shadow flew out of An Sheng's cuff and rushed towards the man's wrist.
The man didn't watch out for An Sheng's next move, so he was taken aback and hurriedly withdrew, still a step too late, and the coral snake bit his little finger.
He slashed his knife and immediately cut the coral snake in two.
This snake was originally highly poisonous, more poisonous than the seven-step snake, not to mention, it was deliberately fed and raised by Leng Nanxian's master, although it was small, it was very poisonous.
His entire hand swelled almost instantly.
He took a step back in a panic, and without thinking, he raised his knife and cut off his wrist.
An Sheng didn't expect that he would break his wrist so neatly and attack himself so ruthlessly, he didn't expect it for a while. Originally, I wanted to blackmail them into letting them go, or delay for a while.
The man chopped off his wrist, and hated An Sheng even more, hating that he couldn't immediately cut her off under the knife.
He clutched his wrists, his face twisted in pain, and he changed shape, gritting his teeth at the others more and more viciously: "What are you doing in a daze, kill them!" ”
Several black-clothed men immediately rushed towards An Sheng regardless of it.
An Sheng didn't make a sound, barely suppressed the panic in his heart, reached into his arms, felt out something, and raised his hand: "Eat my poison again!" ”
A yellow powder was blown up in the wind. The steel knife in the hands of the person who rushed to the front fell to the ground with a "cang", covered his face, and screamed.
The black-clothed people in the back were shocked, and they all took two or three steps back, covering their faces with their sleeves and holding their breath. When the smoke and dust dissipated, and then opened their eyes, the two were gone.
The man who had been poisoned earlier had red and tearful eyes, and his face was swollen.
The poisons that An Sheng used to defend himself were all some less toxic recipes that he had stolen, and it was okay to scare people, but for these black-clothed killers who licked blood from the knife edge, it was not painful at all.
"Chase!"
An Sheng and Leng Nanxian ran hand in hand, and fled in embarrassment, only hating that they had lost two legs and dragged Leng Nanxian down.
Several killers chased after him.
How could the two be their opponents?
Leng Nanxian whistled and panted: "Leng Bo will come to answer immediately, run in the direction we came from to the east, leave me alone." ”
An Sheng turned around stubbornly: "Originally, An Sheng dragged down the master, how could he abandon you and escape alone?" ”
"None of you have to run away, because you can't escape."
The man in black had already landed in front of him, blocking the way of the two.
An Sheng was so afraid that his hands were shaking, but he forced himself to calm down, twitched the corners of his lips, and asked Leng Nanxian: "Master, you really didn't learn a trick and a half from Sister-in-law Feng?" ”
Leng Nanxian smiled forcefully: "What do you think?" ”
"Did you bring out some of the poisons left by the master, those that instantly sealed his throat?"
Leng Nanxian smiled bitterly again: "What do you think?" ”
An Sheng smiled more and more far-fetched: "It's okay, I still have it." ”
She reached into her arms again, and there was an extra paper bag in her hand: "I have prepared in advance, I secretly hide a little poison on my body, and I can see blood to seal my throat, if anyone is not afraid, just come forward." ”
The leader sneered, his forehead was bruised in pain, he looked at An Sheng and gritted his teeth, but he was jealous, took two steps back, and beckoned to a few black-clothed people behind him: "Use the Soul Breaking Arrow." ”
The black-clothed man put his steel knife into the sheath, and each of them took out a pocket bow and arrow made of dark iron from their waists, aiming at An Sheng and Leng Nanxian.
In this way, the poison in An Sheng's hand also lost its original advantage.
The hands of the two were all sweaty and trembling slightly, conveying the horror in their hearts to each other.
In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was like a drum, beating the ground with a muffled sound. An Sheng and Leng Nanxian suddenly perked up.
An Sheng first shouted loudly at the top of his throat: "Help! ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader immediately gave an order: "Let go!" ”
Several bows and arrows were drawn together, and the arrows were like meteors, heading straight at the two people who were full of horror.
Several arrows weave into a fine net, shrouding the two of them, like a net of heaven and earth, and there is no way to avoid it!
Facing the sword light and sword shadow, Leng Nanxian turned around and protected An Sheng under his body without hesitation.
An Sheng only felt that his breath was stagnant, and his whole heart seemed to be split in an instant, and he exclaimed: "No! ”
The sound of weapons intersecting was heard one after another, and several arrows were rolled up by a horsewhip, spun in the air a few times, and then plunged into the trunk of a tree behind them.
The people in black were all shocked, and when they turned their heads, they saw a man riding majestically on a red horse, swept like a gallop, and reined in the horse's reins a foot outside everyone. The horse neighed, and the man on the horse became more and more vigorous.
The leader's face was obviously frightened, his brows frowned, and he waved decisively at a few people: "Withdraw!" ”
His figure flashed, and he was already nowhere to be seen, Rao is body was injured, and he fled very quickly.
And he seemed to be a step too late for this, and before a few men in black could turn around, they saw a flower in front of them, light and shadow passed by, and they were already in a different place.
"I am a person who is shocked, you also dare to do black hands, this is the price."
For a while, blood splattered three feet, and several people fell to the ground.
Leng Nanxian waited for a long moment, did not wait for the sword to be added, slowly raised his head, and saw that Yu Jingyun was smiling insolently at him.
"If it's really useless, it's a scholar, Leng Nanxian, this time, can you be convinced?"
An Sheng cheered in surprise for the rest of his life, and his eyebrows flew: "Yu Shizi!" ”
Yu Jingyun rode on the horse and smiled at An Sheng: "You don't need to worship me, if you repent now and worship me as a teacher, maybe it's still too late." ”
Leng Nanxian stood up, helped An Sheng up from the ground, and said indifferently to Yu Jingyun: "On behalf of An Sheng, I thank the son for saving her life, she has a master." ”
An Sheng saw murder for the first time, and when he saw blood flowing all over the ground, he couldn't help but lose his face, and his body trembled a little uncontrollably.
Leng Nanxian raised his sleeves to cover her vision: "Don't look at it if you're afraid, just turn your face away." ”
Yu Jingyun dodged, turned over from the horse, frowned and looked at the corpse on the ground: "Who are you provoking?" ”
An Sheng barely held back the discomfort in his stomach churning and shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"I don't know that they just put you to death? It's like having a deep hatred. ”
Leng Nanxian pointed in the direction he came: "It's not a secret, we found some new clues, we felt puzzled, and we found it all the way here, but we met them who wanted to kill people." I don't know exactly what the origin is, but it is certain that it must be related to the Cangqiao fire. ”
"It's a pity that I didn't leave a single living mouth." Yu Jingyun was quite annoyed, and asked curiously, "What new clues have you discovered?" ”
"Malt." Leng Nanxian's words are concise and to the point.
"What malt?"
Leng Nanxian told Yu Jingyun about the discoveries and suspicions of the two.
Yu Jingyun narrowed his eyes and looked at An Sheng: "Do you suspect that this warehouse is actually in deficit for a long time?" ”
An Sheng and Leng Nanxian glanced at each other, nodded, and said truthfully: "It's not a doubt, it's a fact." I saw my father the other day, and my father told me about it himself. ”
"Is there any evidence?"
An Sheng shook his head: "My father originally secretly recorded an account book and handed it over to Aunt Rou for safekeeping. It's just a pity that the account book fell into their hands, and after it was tampered with, it was used as evidence of my father's corruption and perversion of the law. ”
"Tampering?"
An Sheng nodded: "They distorted the facts, falsely accused my father of emptying the warehouse, and set fire to cover up the crime. What I said is true, can Yu Shizi believe it? ”
Yu Jingyun was noncommittal, went straight around An Sheng and Leng Nanxian, walked to both sides of the official road, carefully checked the traces of being bulldozed, and frowned and groaned for a long time.
"I have kept a few of my people here, and I have not returned to Beijing, but I also noticed that there was something unusual in it and wanted to find out."
"What did Yu Shizi discover?" Leng Nanxian couldn't wait to ask.
"These people can be said to have arranged this fire almost seamlessly, including planning in advance, controlling the fire, even if it was a torrential rain that night, all of them were very well calculated. Even Lord Xia left Cangli and provided them with an opportunity, as if they were deliberately diverting the tiger from the mountain. The only omission was that I happened to be patrolling the east of the city that day, and I urgently dispatched troops to extinguish the fire in advance.
It was already dark after the fire was extinguished, but my people still saw some of the grain and rice in the warehouse that had not yet been burned, but in fact it was all flammable rice bran. It's just a pity that they just finished giving me a reply, and before I had time to check, the people from the household department arrived in time to take over the inventory of the losses and didn't let me interfere.
I was already aware that this fire was not simple, so I immediately decided to use the news as an excuse to leave the soldiers who participated in the firefighting and surround the entire warehouse, hoping to protect the scene.
Unfortunately, after all, it was inconvenient for me to intervene directly, and in addition to the heavy rain that night, they destroyed all the evidence of the crime overnight.
Even if I had doubts, I would have no basis for saying them. The next day, the emperor ordered us to evacuate. Now the soldiers around Cangqiao are probably all their own people. ”
