Snow fell on October 3, 117 year of the Nas Chronicle

Just after midnight, outside the room of Wu Ling, Harold and Drake, a figure flashed, and a man in a black night robe quietly climbed to the windowsill, the man held a pitch-black short sword in his hand, the matte sword body was like a shadow, exuding a cold aura.

The man in black gently opened the window, and as soon as he opened it, the man in black jumped into Wu Ling's room impatiently. The man in black had an obvious stagnation after landing on the ground, looking at the three beds and frowning, as if he didn't expect that a room would be full of three people. After a brief pause, the man in black turned around and completely opened the window that had only been half opened just now, but before the man could turn around before he could complete this action, Drake had already seen through the trick.

"When you see a lot of people, you want to leave enough room to escape, amateur! Too amateur! And don't turn your back on your goal at any time!"

As a warrior, Drake has maintained a high level of vigilance despite not being in the barracks for many years. When the man in black opened the window and jumped into the room, Drake had already woken up, secretly observed the man's movements, and confirmed that the man in black was definitely a novice who had not yet started, and was not in a hurry to do it. After all, the act of turning back and opening the window is too low-level, and the average veteran will definitely open the window to an opening that allows him to escape calmly when he comes in.

The man in black was frightened by Drake's questioning, turned his head and looked at a person sitting up on the bed not far away, so frightened that his legs were weak and almost fell to the ground, holding the window with both hands and trying to jump out of the window to escape, but he saw a cold light flashing, and a black and bright black steel short sword flew out of the darkness, and the man in black didn't have time to dodge, his right chest was directly pierced by the short sword, and with a muffled snort, he fell from the windowsill.

Drake never thought that the man in black was so vulnerable, in line with the principle of turning big things into small things and never alarming the Yan family, he jumped up quickly, jumped out of the window after the man in black, and jumped out of the window the moment he jumped out, Drake stomped on the bottom of the window sill, and the whole person rushed to the ground from the sixth floor like a cannonball, successfully caught the man in black before the man in black landed, and carried the man in black into the underground secret room.

In the training room of the underground secret room, Drake put the man in black on his side on the ground, tore open the man's night clothes, and checked the wound on the chest of the man in black.

Drake sighed and removed the blood-soaked mask of the man in black. The man clasped Drake's arm tightly with both hands, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say anything because of the blood, his resentful eyes gradually became frightened, and finally he was dissipated and dimmed, although he had not completely lost his breath, but he only occasionally twitched to indicate that he still had a breath, and it was only a few minutes before he actually died.

Drake looked at the man's face, single eyelid triangular eyes, protruding chin, towering cheekbones, except for the blonde hair, the man's face looked very much like Drake's former nemesis, "How can it be? ”

Drake felt a little incredulous, anxious to confirm the man's identity, searching for information on the man. Soon Drake took out a square metal plaque tied with a red rope in the man's arms, and the back of the metal plaque was painted in black, red, and green. After flipping over the nameplate and reading what was engraved on it, Drecton sighed and sat down on the ground, the cold touch of the black steel floor mixed with the helpless coolness in his heart, giving Drake the illusion of falling into an ice cave.

Wu Ling and Harold slept very deadly, and Drake's fight with the man in black in the room did not affect the quality of their sleep at all. But Yan Tianhan was too sensitive to the vibration sound of the opening and closing of the underground secret room, and when he woke up from his sleep, he saw the open window at a glance, and was suddenly startled, got out of bed to check, and found that Drake was gone, and what was even more strange was that the two short swords next to Drake's bed only had a sword and a scabbard left, and the scabbard was horizontal on the carpet. Yan Tianhan suddenly felt bad, rushed to the bedside of Wu Ling and Harold, grabbed their hands and pulled the two of them up from the bed, and shouted as he pulled: "Wu Ling! Harold! Wake up, Teacher Drake is gone!"

"Hmm...... Teacher Drake may still be dealing with Wan Lingyue's affairs, no, it's dealing with Wan Shuo's affairs, what's her name, you don't sleep at night, what are you doing in a panic," Harold looked confused, and fell back to the bed as he muttered.

"Someone went to the underground vault!"

Wu Ling was also sleepy, so he cheered up and asked Yan Tianhan, "That's Teacher Drake went to the underground secret room, what do you want to express?"

"How could Mr. Drake go to the window when he goes to the underground secret room?" Yan Tianhan let go of Wu Ling and Harold's hands, pointed to the fully open window, and took the scabbard that fell to the ground, "There is only one scabbard left in this short sword!, how can you explain it?"

"I can't explain it! Let's go to the underground secret room first!" Wu Ling heard that only the scabbard was left, and then he realized that there might really be a problem, and the whole person came to his senses, put on a coat, jumped from the bed to the ground, brought a dagger and a half-sword in the ink steel hand, and Yan Tianhan went out first. Harold saw the two of them run out, and he didn't care about putting on his clothes, so he followed them shirtless.

Yan Tianhan walked in the front, and as soon as he entered the ramp of the underground secret room, Yan Tianhan found some blood stains in the middle of the ramp, "It's very fresh!

Wu Ling stuffed the half-sword in his hand into Yan Tianhan's hand and said, "Senior brother, the sword is given to you, in case there is a situation, you won't be bare-handed." While speaking, Wu Ling squeezed sideways in front of Yan Tianhan, holding a dagger in each hand, and led the team to run to the bottom of the underground secret room.

Walking through the black steel door, a strong smell of blood came to my face, and the door of the training room was empty. The three of them glanced at each other, slowed down and moved towards the training room, each holding a weapon, ready to fight.

"It's just in time, and there's a really tricky question. Drake's voice came from the training room, and when Wu Lingsan heard this familiar voice, he breathed a sigh of relief and rushed into the training room at a trot.

At this time, the man in black was completely out of breath, lying quietly in a pool of viscous blood.

Wu Ling and Harold have been training in the mountains and forests with Drake for many years, and they have seen and killed a lot of beasts and beasts, and they have some resistance to blood and corpses, but they are bitter and cold, and when they look at the corpse lying in a pool of blood, their legs immediately become weak, and they sit on the ground and retch.

"Mr. Drake, this ...... Who is this?" Wu Ling bypassed the retching Yan Tianhan and walked straight to the corpse. Wu Ling is very familiar with the black steel short sword inserted in the chest of the man in black, this shape of the short sword is obviously from the Wu family workshop, and the scabbard in the bedroom is from this sword, Wu Ling looked at the face of the man in black, his face was full of choked blood, and he couldn't distinguish the specific appearance, but Wu Ling was sure that this person was very familiar.

"Where do I think I've seen this man?"

"His nameplate, it's very clearly written. Drake took out the black, red, and green painted metal plaque from his pocket and handed it to Wu Ling.

Wu Ling only glanced at it, and then couldn't help but call out in surprise, "Guo Chongze, what is the relationship between him and Guo Chongyan? Could it be that he is also Guo Yansheng's son?" After stopping his voice, Wu Ling couldn't help but take another look at this Guo Chongze's face, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt like Guo Yansheng.

"Show me. Yan Tianhan, who was squatting on the side retching, heard Wu Ling's exclamation, his face immediately became solemn, he took the nameplate and looked at it twice, his face was pale, "Pavilion to the 115th level student of the Dawning City Branch of the War Academy-Guo Chongze?

"Is it really troublesome?" Drake didn't know what to do, and he hadn't explained the process of the matter to Wu Lingsan, when he heard Yan Tianhan say this, his heart was a little furious, "Do you know him?" Or did you have a holiday with him?"

"His father is Guo Yansheng, the vice president of the Dawning City Branch of the Gezhi War Academy, and his character is very poor. In today's combat power test, Wu Ling fought against Guo Yansheng's second son Guo Chongyan, not only shattering the Guo family's ancestral war knife, but also directly beating Guo Chongyan to death. Yan Tianhan sighed, his brows gathered together, and he said worriedly, "Now this Guo Yansheng's eldest son has died at our hands again." When the key person is dead, he can't say anything. ”

"Yes, that's why it's tricky!" Drake briefly recounted what happened during the night, and sighed deeply after finishing speaking, "Guo Yansheng is my fellow student at the Imperial War Academy, this person is definitely the kind of person who is bad to the bone, very good at creating obstacles for others, just like his instinct. Among the students of the same class, he did all kinds of evil, I saw righteousness and bravery, and when I came and went, I became an enemy and a mortal enemy, I didn't expect this kind of person to be mixed with the position of the dean, this world is really disappointing. ”

Harold listened to it in the rain for a long time, but he didn't hear a reason, so he talked about the matter and asked: "I really didn't say you, you are all dead, and you are still talking about something useless here, what is the purpose of this Guo Chongze, who is coming, how did he come, why don't you want to think about this?"

Yan Tianhan felt that there was no need to delve into it at all, and said: "What else is there to ask about this? Dressed like this, I am here to assassinate, report the case, leave the professional questions to the professionals, and the Scarlet Tribunal will definitely be able to find out." How can we take advantage of the justifiable defense. ”

Drake didn't agree with Yan Tianhan's opinion, shook his head to indicate that it was inappropriate, and said, "From our point of view, we really don't care about the loss. Guo Yansheng and I are still mortal enemies, Guo Yansheng's two sons were killed and injured on the same day, and one of the attackers was Wu Ling and the other was me, and the relationship between master and apprentice. Whoever comes to trial of this matter will look at us with colored glasses, and don't forget that Guo Yansheng's character is problematic. If I really report the case, it doesn't matter if I am locked up for a few years alone, after all, I killed the person by mistake, I am afraid that Guo Yansheng will secretly use some means to let the three of you get in, this is what I am worried about. ”

Drake's words seemed to inspire Yan Tianhan, Yan Tianhan's eyes widened significantly, and he began to mutter to himself, sounding like he was asking and answering himself, pacing back and forth in the training room, like a schizophrenic patient.

Yan Tianhan remained in this state for about a quarter of an hour, and as if he had come to a conclusion, he stopped pacing, stood in the center of the training room, and smiled confidently, "Solved!"

"What's solved?"

"Everything is solved!" Yan Tianhan confidently combed his big back, "Since Guo Yansheng is a sinister person, his IQ must be no problem, a person with an online IQ wants to send a killer to kill or send a bandit to steal, how can he not put his own son in the line of fire." But the person who came from the fact is Guo Chongze, which is unreasonable and illogical. If you want to make sense, unless this Guo Chongze's combat power is outstanding, but this Guo Chongze is obviously a cowardice with no technology. So, whether Guo Chongze is here to assassinate or steal, Guo Yansheng must not know!"

Yan Tianhan paused, seeing that no one else present objected, and continued: "If we report the case now, it is very likely that the problem that Teacher Drake is worried about will occur, and Guo Yansheng will bite back at that time, and we will be completely passive." In addition, if this Guo Chongze heard that his younger brother Guo Chongyan had an accident and rushed from Dawn City to our Snow Falling City, the time would be completely unreasonable. It's less than one o'clock in the morning, and it's going to be 17 hours from Dawn to Snowfall, which means that he should have gotten the news at least yesterday, October 2nd, at 7 a.m., and had his night coat and assassination dagger ready, and at the same time took the Intercity Express to be able to get here at midnight. However, the combat strength test had not yet started at 7 o'clock yesterday morning! Therefore, we can boldly guess that it is very likely that Guo Chongze took advantage of Guo Yansheng's position as vice president and smuggled out of the Gezhi War Academy in disregard of the academy's regulations, and the purpose was to watch Guo Chongyan's combat strength test. ”

"There is still a problem, this can only mean that there is no problem with the time, he did leave early, but how did he find here? What is the purpose of coming here?" Wu Ling asked.

"I've also thought about this question, I think that during today's combat power test, Guo Chongze was in the martial arts arena! It was because Guo Chongyan was seriously injured, and he didn't dare to discuss with Guo Yansheng for fear of being scolded, so he temporarily purchased a night suit and an assassin short sword to assassinate Wu Ling directly. Having said all this, what I want to express most is that Guo Yansheng must not know about this matter, this is the only prerequisite for our next arrangement!"

After Yan Tianhan finished speaking, he looked at Drake expectantly, Drake thought for a long time, agreed with Yan Tianhan's thoughts, and motioned for Yan Tianhan to continue.

"Going out without permission is a taboo at the War College, and at worst it is a taboo for the country, and any act of going out without permission during the first three years of the War College is tantamount to treason. Since Guo Chongze was not deliberately released by Guo Yansheng, then up to now, to say the least, he has been out privately for 1 day, which can be convicted, he committed treason, and he should be executed, even if he is not executed, he will be imprisoned in the silent night prison in the Red Sun Desert, where life is better than death. I think that since Guo Chongze is dead left and right, and now that everyone is dead, it is better for us to do what we plan and commit a treason crime for Guo Yansheng, so as to completely put down this family that has brought disaster to the country and the people. I now have a general idea, and if I improve it again, it can't be said to be seamless, and it should be no problem if it doesn't leak. ”

Yan Tianhan's words really made the other three people present gasp in unison. Wu Ling remembered that yesterday morning, Yan Tianhan was still seeking justice for the robbers who besieged his whole family, questioning Drake's behavior of annihilating the robbers, and now he has turned into a complete conspirator. People who are fierce and vicious on the surface are often not terrible, but what is really terrible is Yan Tianhan, a person who seems harmless to humans and animals, but has actually arranged a hundred ways to die for you. Wu Ling looked at Yan Tianhan cautiously, and the chill swept from behind his spine.

Drake felt that this was a bit inhumane, but there seemed to be no better solution, and Drake agreed, asking, "Is there anything I need to do?"

Yan Tianhan pretended to be mysterious, smiled slightly, and walked straight to the treasure room, and beckoned Drake, Wu Ling, and Harold to go in together. In the treasure room, Yan Tianhan found a map and pen and paper, and began to arrange the first puzzle in his life.

The four of them worked until the morning to finalize all the details, and after thinking of countermeasures for all possible accidents, Drake took the detailed plan that belonged to him, and quietly left the Yan family before the sky was completely bright.

Wu Ling, Yan Tianhan and Harold finished cleaning up the blood stains in the underground secret room, and when they walked out of the underground secret room, the sun had just jumped out of the confinement of the mountains and leaped into the sky frolicking.
