Chapter 39: The Storm Rises Again (2)
In the forest outside the city, a group of black-clothed men sneakily gathered together, and dense evergreen pines and cypresses covered the cold moonlight, hiding them in the darkness.
"Why is Brother Huang in a hurry to come to us, what's the matter?" said one of the men in black wearing a ghostly face.
Huang Yan took off his black robe to reveal his face.
"Wait a little longer, there is still no one to arrive. ”
"The Holy Maiden, Lord Qingya, and the Sect Master have returned to Jinju. Without their instructions, those of us left behind in the Ghost Face Sect are not allowed to act on their own. ”
"Don't worry, I'm just introducing someone to you. ”
Everyone stopped making a sound after hearing Huang Yan's words, and the forest was quiet for a while, and they faintly heard the pop of snow falling from the pines and cypresses in the distance.
At this moment, Li Xiaohu, who was hiding in the snowdrift behind the reverse slope, was shivering with cold.
"Little prince, let's act. Wang Chao pinched his throat and whispered.
Li Xiaohu gave him a gesture of calmness. After the lesson of the last time, Li Xiaohu understands that the action must not be too hasty, otherwise it will often startle the snake.
"Wang Chao, you calm down, don't spoil the big thing of the little prince. The charter whispered a reminder from the side.
"Little Wangye, look at it again. Li Xuan, who had not spoken, pointed to the other side of the woods and said.
Li Xiaohu looked in the direction pointed by Li Xuan, and saw the snow on a few pines and cypresses sliding down under the moonlight, but he didn't see anyone.
Li Xuan saw that Li Xiaohu was puzzled, and then explained: "Stepping on the leaves is silent, this is the Lin family's exercise. ”
"Lin family, it seems that Huang Yan is really in collusion with Shang Shulin of the Ministry of Industry. The charter said.
Li Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately this time Lao Tzu was holding back, otherwise the big fish would have run away again.
......
There is no sound of stepping on the leaves, and there is no trace of walking in the snow. The person who came was Lin Xian, the adopted son of Shang Shu Lin Xian of the Ministry of Industry, who killed him. It is said that this man is fierce and irritable, and killing people is as common as drinking alcohol and eating meat.
However, his political performance is quite good, and he is deeply used by Lin Xian. In other people's projects, which take half a year, it is often only three months for him. The doorway to this is known only to the laborers who are sweating blood. But the big men never care how many people die, they only care when their mansions are built and when the new canals will be opened......
Lin Shuzhi, who came to the appointment, glanced at Huang Yan, and then looked at a few ghost-faced people around him, and was suspicious in his heart, and asked vigilantly: "Huang Yan, what secret things do you want to talk about in this wilderness?"
Huang Yan saw that everyone was here, and sneered: "It's not that I, Huang Yan, want to talk to everyone tonight, but I want to talk to everyone." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces changed greatly.
At the same moment, Li Xiaohu released a flare into the air. The men who were lying in ambush around rushed out of the snow after receiving orders. The crowd formed an encirclement and killed the target.
"Huang Yan, what do you mean by this?" the people from the Ghost Face Sect scolded.
Huang Yan ignored their questioning, pulled out his long knife and walked straight towards the enemy who rushed over, and said lightly: "Can you escape or not, everyone has a destiny." ”
Lin Zhizhi took a deep look at Huang Yan, and without saying a word, he didn't enter the forest by performing his exercises.
The people of the Ghost Face Sect also knew that this was not the time to ask for guilt, so they drew their swords to fight and wanted to fight their way out of the encirclement.
Li Xiaohu was well prepared this time, how could he let them succeed, and ten times their manpower surrounded him. The people of the Ghost Face Sect cultivated to the highest level of talent and realm, and they were all taken down quickly. Although Huang Yan has the cultivation of the three grades of the realm, he seems to understand that he is outnumbered, and after a few tricks with Li Xuan and Wang Chao, he abandoned his sword and surrendered.
Wang Chao saw that Lin was not seen among the captives, and hurriedly said: "The people of the Lin family are not here, the brothers hurry up with me into the forest to chase." ”
Li Xuan came out and pressed Wang Chao's shoulder and said, "No need, the little prince has his own arrangements." ”
......
At the beginning, he fled into the forest in the woods to kill him, and at this moment, he is using his full strength to perform "Silent Stepping on Leaves" to leap between pines and cypresses. He realized that this was a conspiracy against Lin Xian, or even against the person above, and if he was caught, the situation would be very unfavorable. is involved with the Ghost Face Sect, and it is involved in two cases of assassinating the prince, and this troubled water cannot be waded.
Just when he fled far away and let his guard down. "Gah!" came the cry of a grey crow being startled not far away.
Lin Kill was like a frightened bird, immediately stopped, quietly hid in the treetops of the pines and cypresses, held his breath and cautiously observed the surroundings with a pair of black and white eyes.
There was a sound in the darkness ahead.
Lin Zhizhi stared at the direction where the sound came from, and slowly took out the sharp dagger from his arms with his right hand.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the forest, but Lin Shuzhi did not dare to relax at all, he knew that if someone really tracked him here, this person must be a first-class master, and any detail would determine the outcome of the outcome.
The woods were cold and silent, but at this moment, the palms of Lin Kill's hands were sweating. Time was passing, although Lin Shuzhi was extremely cautious, but he didn't expect that his body temperature would affect the snow on the pines and cypresses.
The snow on the treetops under his feet was slipping little by little, and Lin Kill said darkly: "Oops!"
Before he could perform the exercise of shifting shape, a black wind swept in. Lin Shuzhi didn't expect the opponent to react so quickly, so he could only hold a dagger to meet it. How do you know that with the cultivation of the three grades of his realm, he can't resist it at all, and the black Gangfeng ignores the true qi of the body, like a sharp knife piercing his limbs.
"Ahh......h
"Puff, puff......"
Lin Shuzhi, who was lying down in the snow and lost his ability to fight, heard someone walking in the snow. He struggled to raise his head and see the man in front of him. Then he threw himself into the snow again, and when he recognized the person, he suddenly understood in his heart that Huang Yan did everything possible to trick him out, and how could he easily let him escape.
The person who came was wearing a hooded black robe, and said indifferently to Lin Shuzhi in the snow: "Offended! In Wufeng, the palace of the Lower Wei Dynasty, the little prince invites you to drink tea at the wind catcher." ”
......
Seeing Wu Feng carrying the sluggish Lin Shuzhi back to the wind catcher, Wang Chao opened his mouth wide in shock. It turned out that this time the little prince invited Lord Wufeng, the commander of the Wei Palace, no wonder Li Xuan looked confident.
He looked at the charter again, and saw that there was no surprise on his face.
"Charter, did you already know about it?"
The charter smiled nondeniably.
"Then why are you hiding it from me?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of your big mouth. If you let others know that the Udominians are out of the horse, they will definitely guess that there will be a big move in the chasing place, and who will dare to come out and make waves at that time. Li Xuan said with a smile.
Wang Chao muttered unconvinced: "How can I talk nonsense about such an important thing." ”
"Then the day before yesterday, you were drunk and talking about the little prince's embarrassment, what's going on?"
"I'm just expressing my admiration for the little prince. Wang Chaoyue said quietly.
Li Xiaohu felt funny when he saw Wang Chao's unconfident appearance.
"Speaking of which, it was Brother Zhang's idea to give Xiao Wang the opportunity to invite Uncle Wu out. You should also learn from others, don't drink all day long and talk nonsense everywhere. ”
