Chapter 280: An Unquiet Night
Holding his breath and trying to restrain his breath, the fifth Tingyun tiptoed to the door with a sword in his left hand, leaning against the door and listening carefully to the movement outside. But when he listened, the corridor outside the door was quiet.
Squeak, occasionally a series of small sounds sounded in the hallway, like rats barking.
Squeak--The fifth hearing cloud was waiting intently, when suddenly there was a sound of the door opening, and then a series of footsteps hurried over. The footsteps approached quickly, and they were still shouting, "Brother, what's the situation?" The fifth Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief, put the sword into the sheath, pulled the latch, opened the door, and was about to speak, but he suddenly keenly caught the three sharp intentions of one left, one right, and one back and locked on himself.
Outside the door, the fifth listener's face changed instantly, and he shouted "Be careful", and then saw a flash of cold light, and the broken knife appeared in his hand.
The left and right sides, as well as behind them, were blocked in three directions, and they had a clear goal, and they caught the moment when the fifth Tingyun opened the door and suddenly attacked. It seems that these three killers have been lurking in the room for a while, is the sound of hurried footsteps just now still a kind reminder?
A few thoughts flashed through his mind, and the fifth hearing cloud swooped forward and rushed out the door. There were two clanging sounds, and the two doors were directly torn apart by sharp weapons, but they did not hurt the fifth Tingyun. Only the sword behind him remained, and it still stabbed straight at the back of the fifth Tingyun.
The fifth Tingfeng turned sideways slightly, allowing the fifth Tingyun to completely rush out, and then he strode forward, put the broken knife horizontally, and put it in front of him. I only heard a crisp sound of "clanging", and the tip of the long sword was on the surface of the broken knife, and I couldn't move an inch anymore.
At this time, the fifth Tingyun also turned around and looked at the three black-clothed people in the room.
"Withdraw!" Three people covered in night clothes gathered in a row, you look at me, I look at you. The Assassin standing in the middle nodded, and decisively gave the order to retreat.
As soon as the words fell, the three of them raised their left hands, and with a sound of "whirring", nine steel nails shot in a row towards the two brothers of the fifth Tingyun. The fifth heard the cloud straighten forward, bent down and rolled on the ground, nine steel nails shot out from the top of his head, and after dodging the steel nails, he drew his sword and went forward, trying to chase the three people who had broken out of the window.
The fifth heard the wind more directly, he didn't dodge or dodge, brandished the broken knife, a bell sounded, and six of the nine steel nails were cut off by him. The remaining three came from the left and right, and he pulled the knife with a snap, then reached out with his left hand and grabbed the three steel nails with precision.
"Go!"
With a snap, he threw the steel nail hard.
Three steel nails, driven by Yuan Li, shot out in three lines, pointing directly at the three black-clothed assassins.
However, the three Assassins were clearly prepared, and as soon as they exited through the window, a thick iron plate hung down from the window. Although the steel nail was urgent, it was late after all, so three crackling sounds were heard, and the steel nail was nailed into the iron plate.
The two brothers bypassed the iron plate, jumped out of the window, stood on the eaves, and looked around, only to see three black shadows jumping high and low, and it was the three black-clad assassins who had just retreated after failing to strike a blow. At the same time, a series of slight footsteps were heard overhead.
They jumped onto the roof of the house, and saw two people on the roof of the house two or three streets away, also separated from each other, also wearing dark night clothes.
It seems that there are five people who came to assassinate tonight.
"Brother, is it someone sent by the Criminal Department?" The two squatted on the roof, looking at the five figures that had disappeared under the moonlight, and the fifth listener asked in a low voice. During the day, because there were many people, the fifth hearing wind never mentioned words such as the criminal department, and at this time, the brothers didn't have to worry about it so much.
The fifth Tingyun simply sat directly on the roof, thought for a while, and said, "Eighty percent is right." ”
Fifth Tingfeng also sat next to him, put away the broken knife, and asked: "It is obviously possible for the Criminal Department to squeeze you out of Xiaoxiang Academy, why are they so eager to send people to assassinate you? Judging from the current situation, the people placed by the Criminal Department in the entrance examination are enough to solve the problem. "He is also a member of the Fifth Clan, so it is naturally easy to think of the way Longbow Wen and the others came from.
"That's why I say only eighty percent. The fifth listener replied.
Just as the two brothers were talking, Dai Qinglian's shout came from below: "Fifth brother, fifth brother, fifth brother!"
Fifth Tingyun stood up, jumped down, and jumped into the room through the window with his younger brother.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the fifth Tingyun, Dai Qinglian let go of her brows and looked around with a puzzled expression.
At this time, there were gradually voices in the corridor, probably woken up by the movement just now.
"It's fine. Fifth Tingyun first made a calm gesture to Dai Qinglian, and then walked out of the room to apologize to the awakened guests, and retrieved the six steel nails, and after the guests yawned and returned to their respective rooms, he entered the room again and re-nailed the door that had been torn by sharp weapons with six steel nails.
After nailing, he was ready to lie back on the bed and continue to sleep, but the fifth hearing of the wind pointed his ears and said, "Brother, listen." He pointed out the window.
Fifth, when Tingyun closed his eyes and listened attentively, a burst of ping-pong weapons mixed with the sound came into his ears.
He walked to the window, listened carefully, and said, "It's the direction of the five people who fled just now." ”
"Let's go, let's see. The fifth listener was even more anxious than his brother, and jumped out of the window with a dodge.
Fifth, after hearing Yun tell Dai Qinglian to "be careful", she jumped out without waiting for Dai Qinglian to speak, leaving Dai Qinglian alone in the room pouting, very unhappy.
As usual, the brothers climbed onto the roof, stood on the ridge of the roof, and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw about a dozen streets away, on the ridge of a building there, a dozen shadows of men in black were fighting. Five of them were only masked, while the other seven or eight men in black wore black turbans, and it was easy to distinguish between the two groups at a glance.
The five people who had just failed to assassinate them fought and fled, which was quite embarrassing.
The Fifth Tingyun and the Fifth Tingfeng glanced at each other, and the speed of flying on the roof increased again, and they both wanted to take a look, what kind of people didn't sleep on this big night? Of course, they wanted to know if the Criminal Department was still weighing the lives of their brothers?
At this time, the jade plate that was about to reach the full moon had already deviated slightly to the west, and it was the second half of the night.
There are almost no stars in the night sky, but you can see a few thin clouds, but the clouds do not cover the moon, so Jiaqing City under the moonlight, although it has a bit of a hazy feeling, but it has a bit of ancient charm and ethereal fairyland.
By the time the five Tingyun brothers approached the melee, the five black-clad assassins had fallen into complete disadvantage. The realm strength shown by these black-clothed people is about the same, around the seventh heaven of the Nayuan realm, with the situation of being outnumbered, they have been able to hold out until now, and they have already shown their sufficient strength as killers.
