Chapter 40 The Shadow and the Rope
Half a month later, in a rural stone house between the two major towns of Kharkiv City and Ehlers Castle, Niu Yueming and a group of entourages met with Bai Jingchong and his entourage and began arduous negotiations on treasures. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is a terrible and arduous negotiation journey, in terms of strength, Niu Yueming is not under Bai Jingchong, in terms of power, Niu Yueming, as the deputy city lord of Ehlers Castle, is in charge of many soldiers and horses, which is even more powerful than Bai Jingchong, not to mention that this time he brought no less entourage than Bai Jingchong.
It can be said that there was no progress at all in the negotiations in the past few days, and the two sides held their positions and refused to back down half a step, so that the atmosphere was extremely intense, and they almost made a big move.
Of course, in the past few days, it has not been without gains, in addition to knowing the other party's point of view and conditions, I also know that in addition to the two of them, there are many families involved, especially a powerful lone assassin named Cang Yuanlang, according to intelligence analysis, this Cang Yuanlang is wandering around the negotiation site, waiting for the opportunity to snatch the treasure.
Because of such considerations, Bai Jingchong and Niu Yueming didn't dare to be too tough, to prevent the other party from messing around, and to give Cang Yuanlang and others a chance. Days of arduous negotiations have caused a lot of mental drain on both sides, but even so, the bright and dark sentinels and defensive guards at all levels all over the countryside are extremely stable, and there is no slackening at all, seeing this scene, although Cang Yuen Long is a little anxious but helpless, fortunately, as a top assassin who has succeeded in assassinating and grabbing treasures nineteen times in a row, this patience is still there. What's more, he firmly believes that he will definitely be able to get such a treasure from the protection of so many masters, complete the promotion of the bloodline, and become the big man of the Blue Wolf Shura Clan, and then he will be able to take revenge on those enemies such as the clansmen who have been oppressed.
The scorching atmosphere of the negotiation venue also seemed to affect the air inside and outside the room, and everyone felt a little stuffy for a while, opening the door, Niu Yueming walked out with an impatient look, looking at the fine wildflowers and green weeds on the path outside the house, the mood was a little better, and a breeze blew, carrying the fragrance of birds and flowers on the trees not far away.
Smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, Niu Yueming seemed to remember something, so he took a few steps forward and came to a one-foot-tall tree with blue flowers and red leaves, patted the trunk, and several blue flowers the size of a teacup fell, Niu Yueming easily caught a few blue flowers, sniffed, and a smile bloomed on his face.
The depressed and anxious mood was driven away by the beautiful and fragrant blue flowers, and once again returned to the previous leisurely state, Niu Yueming was in a good mood, turned around and prepared to return to the house to continue to negotiate with Bai Jingchong and them.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in the tree with red leaves and blue flowers just three feet away behind Niu Yueming, and a short sword flew out at the same time, this is a blue short sword without a handle, thin blood grooves, blue lines are all over the sword body, and the extremely sharp blade seems to be stabbed even if you look at it from a distance.
Indeed, this is a terrible sword dedicated to assassination, and there are seven short vertical lines engraved near the end of the sword, this is the achievement of this assassin, and now Niu Yueming is going to add another record to this terrible assassin.
Without a cry of pain or last words, Niu Yueming was so careless and unlucky, if it was a one-on-one battle, he could end the other party's life with a hundred ways to fight and win, but the other party was a clever and terrible assassin, this was a well-planned assassination, so Niu Yueming was finished.
Without any ability to resist, the assassin's arrangement was too strict, the investigation was too careful, he knew all Niu Yueming's habits, including his childhood experience, and he knew that Niu Yueming was so fond of this kind of tree and blue flower that he was defenseless, or too late to take precautions.
The sound of Niu Yueming falling on the road and overpowering the shrubs and flowers outside alarmed everyone in the house, and when they came out, they saw that Niu Yueming had fallen to the ground, lifeless, and the murder weapon was nowhere to be found.
"Strange, why no blood is coming out. One of Shura walked over and took out a special glove and looked at the wound cautiously
"Inform me, there are assassins, Niu Lifeng, where are my things. Bai Jingchong thought for a moment and made a decision
"Lord Bai, the negotiation has not yet been fruitful, although Lord Niu is dead, but this thing is ......," Niu Dali said
"Why do you have any opinion to tell you that the assassin hasn't left yet, and I can't guarantee your safety, can I? Bai Jingchong threatened
"Lord Bai, I understand what you mean, but I really don't know where that thing is, the treasure has always been kept by Lord Niu himself before, and this time it is the same. ’
A few hours later, looking at Niu Dali, who was beaten and not in shape, was still saying that, Bai Jingchong was very depressed, Niu Yueming had not been found before, and now the person closest to him didn't know where the treasure was.
"Lord Bai, maybe we should look for it in a different way. Gu Jianping walked over and said
"What do you mean, a different way of thinking?" Bai Jingchong said with an angry face
"During the previous negotiations, Niu Yueming was always angry at a servant who seemed to be honest and easy to bully, I thought it was a little strange, just now I asked someone to follow him quietly, and this honest servant seems to be preparing to escape from here. ”
I don't know when, a drizzle drifted in the sky, and the fine raindrops made the air clear and cold all of a sudden, which also made Bai Jingchong and the others feel a little cold before.
The fog and rain were hazy, and if you only relied on your eyesight, you couldn't see anything ten feet away in the distance, including a sword with a killing intention, and the assassins still hadn't found any clues, but they were sure that the assassin was still here, and everyone who came to negotiate was the target of the assassins.
The most important thing is that the fossil treasure has not been found, the honest servant has disappeared magically, this place is too weird and terrifying, Gu Jianping thought for a moment and sighed, he was too deep in this activity, he knew that he was in danger.
Pinching an ordinary woolen rope that suddenly appeared beside him, Gu Jianping hurriedly hid his things, walked out of the door as usual, and walked unhurriedly towards the scene where Niu Yueming was stabbed.
He had a hunch that what he was looking for was there.
