In the summer of the seventh year of the Republic of China, the Dharma Mountain at the middle point of the Sino-Japanese route was like a monster crouching in the center of the East China Sea, digesting all the invaders with an endless stomach pouch.

Another small steamboat, suddenly spewing black smoke, splitting the gray waves, facing the rising sun, anchored in the fishing port of Dharma Mountain.

Eighteen-year-old Ouyang Anna wears a white top and blue skirt, a popular outfit for female students in Beijing. There is a man behind him, still dressed in a long shirt, wearing a white top hat with black trim, standing in the wind like a tall pine tree, thick black eyebrows deep into the sideburns, and two thick mustaches on his lips.

A few days ago, Ye Kenan and Anna had a quiet meeting. The streets and alleys of Beijing are still plastered with Qin Beiyang's wanted notices. It is obvious that the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty has fallen into the hands of the assassins.

It is said that the key to unlocking the secret of the little prince is Qin Beiyang.

Anna remembered Ah You's eyes looking at Qin Beiyang, and the girl's mind was extremely sensitive. Even if a needle falls to the ground, you can tell the difference. She believed that Ah Yu would not hurt him.

The only object that the Assassins could look for was the tomb robber Kogi.

Xiao Mu is the only person in the world who has ever been in the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty and is still alive.

Mt. Dharma, where Xiaomu is imprisoned, is far away in the East China Sea, but the island cannot be moved. Half a year ago, the Assassins had already visited the island once, so naturally there would be a second time. What's more, there is also the Gengzi indemnity silver hidden in Dharma Mountain.

Ouyang Anna and Ye Kenan decided to immediately rush to Dharma Mountain to transfer Xiaomu and millions of silver.

They first took a train to Shanghai, and then hired a small steamboat to cross the East China Sea, which took a total of four days.

Anna sets foot on the Dharma Mountain and finds the fishing village in ruins. The islanders went back hundreds of years and looked for caves to live in. Everyone was horrified when they saw her, and no one dared to open their mouths when they asked why.

She searched for ama and her two younger brothers everywhere, but there was no trace of them. Some say that the ama is dead, others say that she is missing. Anna thinks everyone is lying.

Without further ado, she and Ye Ke went to the cave where Xiaomu was imprisoned. In a stone wasteland facing the sea, the corpse of a young woman is seen, surrounded by crazy flies. Anna didn't dare to look, and Ye Kenan squatted down to check. As a detective, even if you don't have the skills of a forensic doctor, you can judge from experience.

"I've been dead for less than a day." Ye Kenan checked the wound by the way, "Someone pierced the heart with a sharp object. ”

Anna took a bold look before she confirmed that the deceased was not an ama.

When you break into the cave, you will feel that the atmosphere is strange, and the lampstand on the stone wall seems to have passed. Sure enough, they found that the iron railing of the cellar had been sawn off, and there was no longer half a figure underneath.

Kogi escaped.

Ouyang Anna was flustered and regretted that she hadn't killed Xiao Mu in the first place. Although, it doesn't matter if you run away from a tomb robber, but what if you endanger a million silver? She didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Suddenly, there was a violent explosion under the cave, and the rocks fell one after another, and Ye Ke dragged her out desperately.

"Someone is using explosives."

Ye Kenan reminded that Anna was like dust, was she blowing up the mountain to steal the treasure?

As soon as they came down the hillside, they saw a puff of smoke and dust rising from the rocks near the sea, and a large hole was blown out. Several figures covered in dust stumbled out.

Anna just wanted to rush over, but was stumped by Ye Ke, the two hid behind the boulder, and first saw who those people were?

In the early morning sun, some people knelt on the ground and coughed, others lay on their backs to take a deep breath, and some people looked around to check the terrain.

Finally, a fifteen-year-old girl, with her thick black braids shining, buried her face and hair in the sea to wash herself.

Ahh

There are also assassins with scars on the right cheek, assassins who are as strong as oxen, and old assassins with thick black beards - Ye Ke can hardly recognize these people, and his mind comes to mind, nine years ago, the Tianjin German Concession extermination case, that bloody night in late spring.

Pull out your revolver and aim it at the coughing old assassin. Ye Kenan is a detective and a sharpshooter, and he has always been among the best in target shooting training at the Beijing Police Department. Three points and one line, aimed at the back of the head, as long as the trigger is pulled, it is like breaking a watermelon......

Ah You squatted on the reef, soaking wet, his black braids untied, scattered like a waterfall, and drops of sea water fell, washing away the dust.

Suddenly, she felt the killing intent behind her.

When she was five years old, "Daddy" hugged her and said, "Ah You, this child is an unusual person, she can feel things that we can't feel, she can see shadows in the wind, hear sounds in the water, smell smells in stones......

"Daddy!"

Ah You grabbed a stone and hit "Daddy" in the head.

A bullet spun out of Ye Kenan's revolver, but it flew past the back of the old assassin's head. The Assassins were as quiet as a virgin and moved like a rabbit, and Ah Hai and Tohuan each sought out rocks to hide. Only Ah You, with her wet hair scattered, like a sea beast only coming out of the water, faced the boulder on the hillside.

Ah You is no longer a fifteen-year-old girl, her eyes look like a marshal commanding thousands of troops, a veritable master of assassins.

A day ago, she led Ah Hai, Tuhuan and "Daddy" to Damo Mountain to find the tomb robber Xiaomu. A little widow couldn't resist the temptation to lead them to the cave where Xiaomu was imprisoned. Who would have expected that Xiao Mu seemed to be submissive, but he saw through the assassins' plans and suddenly pressed the mechanism, causing everyone to fall into the trap.

The Assassins had light skills, and their bones were not broken. They have killed thousands of people, but they will die at the hands of a small thief. But in addition to daggers, they also had pistols and explosives on them. Times are different, and cold weapons have come to an end. Few of the revolutionary parties in Xinhai knew how to use swords, but they were good at throwing bombs. No matter how great an assassin is, if he does not adapt to the times, he will be obsolete—like the cavalrymen who raised their sabers and charged at the Maxim machine guns and barbed wire on the battlefields of Europe.

They found the hole to be huge, intertwined, and covered with dry bones. After walking all night to the end, smelling the saltiness of the sea, it must be close to the shore. Ah Hai can operate explosives, he is both smart and careful, and he thinks slowly for a long time, and the slightest mistake will blow himself up. The Assassins retreated far into fortified places, digging holes in the ground to form shelters, and then lighting the fuses.

With a loud bang, the stone wall exploded, revealing a ray of skylight, and it was already early the next morning.

The Assassins were glad to see the sun in the East China Sea again.

Ah Yu had vaguely guessed that the people hiding on the hillside to attack them could not be the islanders, they had been frightened, and they were not Xiaomu. He must have just arrived on the island, knew the secrets of the cave, and hated the Assassins......

"Anna?" Ah You shouted at the mountain, not afraid of being shot through his skull, "Inspector Ye? ”

The wind blew her hair, and behind her was the turbulent East China Sea, and the aura made people shudder.

Anna, who was hiding behind the boulder, grabbed Ye Kenan's arm: "Don't shoot!" ”

"How can this little girl be so smart?" Ye Kenan also praised, "It's a pity that I didn't follow the right path." ”

Anna also poked her head out and waved her hand: "Sister Ayou! ”

"I'm sorry! Sister Anna, I can't explain it to you now, but you can't kill us either—unless we all die together. ”

Ah Yu was right, there were four of them, three pistols, and more than four daggers.

Don't know how to answer? Anna looked down at Ye Kenan, he frowned and thought for a moment, although he dreamed of capturing these assassins, the situation in front of him was not necessarily favorable. If an Assassin had been so easy to catch, he wouldn't have sacrificed so many lives. He is a detective, not an outlaw, nor Qin Beiyang, who is bent on revenge, and will not gamble with his and Anna's lives.

"Well, a truce."

Ye Ke Nan made a difficult decision. Ouyang Anna looked at the enemy who killed her father opposite, reason prevailed, and the life and death experience in the past six months had made her a hundred times more mature.

"Sister Ayou! Let's go, don't come to Dharma Mountain again in this life! ”

This time, Ah Yu made eye exchange with the old assassin hiding behind the rock, nodded and said, "I promise!" ”

The Assassins silently crawled their way to the fishing harbor by leaning on the rocks of the coastline. In broad daylight, there was no chance for Ye Ke on the hillside to sneak attack, which shows how strong these people's concealment ability is.

Only Ah You, swaggering on the beach, her long washed hair was blown by the sea breeze, like weeds growing in the wind.

Ouyang Anna watched her leave, with a thousand words in her heart, and she didn't know how to tell it? For half a year, day and night, these two girls have relied on each other, slept on their feet, and were like sisters, are they all fake? Could it be that he was a fool who was used by the Assassins?

"Keep up!"

As a reminder, he and Anna followed the hillside and saw the Assassins coming to the fishing port.

Ah Hai, Tuhuan and Daddy snatched another fishing boat and set sail. Ah You finally got on the boat, turned around and shouted to the hillside: "Sister Anna, Xiaomu has escaped, you must be careful of this person, you must be careful for the rest of your life!" ”

Anna and Yeck are hard to hear. The fishing boat carried the Assassins away, becoming a lone sail that disappeared into the East China Sea.

"Be careful of Kogi?"

"Well, we underestimated this man." Ye Kenan turned to the cliff on the east side of the Dharma Mountain, "Let's go and see the treasure." ”

Only Ouyang Anna remembered the entrance of the treasure cave, and the detective tied a blindfold to herself before entering the tunnel.

Sacrifice yourself in the cave under the cliff. Thankfully, millions of silver are there. Some of it has been shipped out before, and there is not a penny left.

Anna and Ye Kenan shipped the silver out in batches, boarded a steamship and returned to Shanghai, where it was deposited in the "Earl Fund of the Counts of Dharma Mountain" of the Swiss private bank.

She is ready to buy another hundred houses in Shanghai.

And the real owner of a million taels of silver is crossing the vast East China Sea.
