On the seventeenth day of the month of death, the second water day.

Of course, it is not that the houses of the empire look the same, but that in a circle, in addition to the different locations, the appearance of the houses inside is very similar.

Right now, this dwelling is the same, from the outside, it is the same quiet, the same dark.

But if someone climbs over the courtyard wall and approaches the window to take a closer look, they will find that the window is really black, painted with black paint.

Who would have the windows of an ordinary house dark? So this is certainly not an ordinary house.

There were lamps in the house, four lamps, enough to illuminate a room that was no more than two gonres.

There are people in the house, three people, and even the three people who are very similar in height and clothing are so similar that they have to be distinguished by A, B, C.

A asked, "Have you decided on a place?"

B replied: "I watched outside the Yanjiao Hotel for a long time, and he didn't come out again after he went in, and I asked the owner there, and the man lived in room 20 at the end of the corridor on the third floor." ”

A asked, "Is that gentleman ready?"

C replied, "Ready, water four to get there." ”

A asked, "Does that gentleman have to do it tonight?" Can't wait to make sure?, the bartender at the Pool Tavern said he was just passing by. ”

C replied, "Sir said that if the man is lying, he will not be able to do it tomorrow when he goes to see the order." ”

A sighed, and after a while, he spoke again: "I hope everything goes well." ”

On the same day, Water Four, Trench Corner Hotel, 3rd Floor, Room 20.

It is impossible to have much furniture in the guest room of the hotel, one bed, two stools and a table, plus the small cabinet next to the bed, that's all, and the furniture is not painted, it is only two Ghazal a night room, this is what it looks like.

None of this mattered to Ao, who had only slept one night, so he had already fallen asleep.

He was the only one in the room.

From childhood to adulthood, Ao Zongheng almost always snores when he sleeps, and his snoring rhythm is extremely steady, and his voice is not too loud, just enough to cover all other sounds. So when a short "woo" sounded in the room, it was naturally muffled by the snoring.

Now there are two people in the room.

A man in a black hooded mage robe, a man appeared like a ghost, standing quietly in front of his arrogant bed, quietly watching him.

The bed was in front of the only window in the room, and the window was facing south, so the dark light did not cast into the room, and even if he woke up at this moment, he would probably not be able to see clearly that there was an extra man in the room for a while.

Of course, Ao Zongheng did not wake up, and even the rhythm of snoring did not change in the slightest.

The man holds a short staff in his left hand and a crossbow in his right hand, a single-shot crossbow that looks like an ordinary one-shot crossbow.

The man pinned the staff to his waist and raised his crossbow with both hands to aim at Ao's head, the tip of the crossbow arrow was only half away from Ao's head.

The man didn't know Ao's name, but he knew Ao's identity, it was not easy to kill a mage, and it was even more difficult to kill a mage leader in the law management department, so he waited until the other party was asleep before making a move, and chose a quiet, fast and deadly crossbow.

With a snap of the right hand, even an ordinary crossbow is enough to shoot anyone's head in reverse at this distance.

Without any hesitation or nonsense, the man buckled the tiller.

The curved tiller is connected to itself by a spring, which is slightly tilted forward, and the long-standing string pushes the arrow forward.

The arrows fire, crash, bounce off, all without even a breath......

Hmm!

Really, the off-string arrow shot no more than the length of two arrows, but suddenly it seemed to hit something, and it bounced away several times faster than castration.

The man looked in disbelief at the place where the arrow had fallen, and the arrow had been embedded in the wall between the wooden planks, not inserted, but flat, what an amazing rebound power!

The man looked back, and then he saw the arrogance, the awake arrogance.

"You don't even let go of people passing by? I really underestimate your hands and ruthlessness, let's say, who are you?"

He really didn't expect that these people would come to the door to assassinate him.

When he came out of the tavern, he felt those pretending to be unintentional attention, and he had it before entering the tavern, but at that time he thought it was out of curiosity about the mage of the legal management department, as long as there was no killing intent, he didn't pay much attention.

Those gazes didn't have murderous intent, they weren't even hostile, all he could feel was vigilance.

These self-righteous fools, arrogant and arrogant thought in their hearts, they didn't see it, anyway, he really didn't plan to get involved in this. Even when he heard someone following behind him and asking the innkeeper about his room, he didn't care.

Involving the huge wealth related to the fate of the family, caution should be admitted, he would never think that someone would hack the mage of the legal management department in the hotel, not to mention that this mage has not hindered his business.

So when he went back to his room and drank the remaining half of the bottle, he went to sleep peacefully, he was really sleeping.

This is the reason for his anger, you guys are too unscrupulous, it is already ruthless to start without saying a word, you are even more ruthless, and you will start without saying a word.

The man looked at the arrogant man motionlessly.

Of course, he was motionless, how could he let him move? He still had a lot of words to say about this man's mouth.

The man didn't speak, the surprise on his face had turned into indifference, and if he looked closely, there was still a bit of decisiveness hidden.

Want to kill yourself? Of course, Ao Zongheng will not guard against the other party's hand, except for his brain and eyes, he has sealed all the places where the other party can move, even the tongue has been sealed - he is not in a hurry to ask this man to speak, the night is still long.

As for killing people, not to mention this, the whole room was surrounded by his qi, and it was not much easier for anyone to kill this man than to kill Arrogant.

No one has any power to kill this man in the hands of Arrogant, even if it is a god, probably can't do it.

But the impossible just happened.

First, the exposed skin began to reveal a faint red light, and then the facial features, the red light quickly brightened, and in just two breaths, a fire suddenly appeared in the man's body, even if the air needed for these flames was cut off in an instant, but a person whose internal organs had been burned black would not survive anyway.

What kind of means is this? The only thing that can be said for sure is that this man has no ability to act, so it is not himself who is the one who attacked, but an external force? There is no suspicious movement within the scope of Ao Zong's sense of aura. Then the only reasonable inference is that this man poisoned himself before he started, or it was a spell, once he missed, whether he was killed or captured, the result was that the corpse did not exist, let alone asking, even if he wanted to trace it through the corpse.

What a ruthless person.

can make this kind of means, whether it is this man or the person who drives him behind him, he is absolutely worthy of this ruthless word.

There must be someone behind this man, but who is it? Arrogant, is it the Gaotanambaf family, or is it the Gurim family?

Arrogant didn't know, but he was determined to know.

He was in a hurry, but if he even turned a blind eye to such a provocation, he couldn't kill such a ruthless and unscrupulous villain, but if he did, then by the way, he would get rid of it.

On the same day, Tu Er, the windows were all dark in the house.

A, B and C are still there.

"What? How could it be?" A was very surprised, and he was excited because of the accident.

C replied: "That's true, that gentleman said that if he succeeds, Shui Wu will definitely receive a reward before, but there is no news when he arrives at Tuyi, so it must be a failure." "He knew the news much earlier, so he behaved much calmer.

A asked, "Will that person reveal our identity?"

C replied: "Sir said that it will never be revealed, whether he is killed or captured, that person must have become a pile of ashes by now." ”

A and B, who had not spoken, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and A asked again, "Then what is the gentleman going to do next?

C shook his head and replied, "No, Mr. said that the man was much more powerful than he thought, and that he should not do anything without his instructions." Tomorrow afternoon, the gentleman will go with us to see the order. ”

After a pause, he said to B, "From now on, you don't spy on that mage again, and don't go to the Trench Corner Hotel again, he was assassinated tonight, maybe he will inquire from the boss." ”

"Do you recognize you, the owner of the Trench Inn?" asked A.

B hesitated for a moment before replying, "I don't know, I haven't been to this hotel, and he didn't have a special expression when he saw me today." ”

"This mage seems to be very powerful, if the boss recognizes you, we will be in big trouble, you immediately find someone to kill the innkeeper, and the person who uses it must be clean and reliable. No, kill first, then set fire. ”

On the eighteenth day of the month of the god of death, the fire was one, and the day dawned.

The young man at the Trench Corner Hotel had just opened the door and was about to open for business.

The hotel was not burned, and the owner was alive and well.

I don't know why, the killer didn't come, and the boss naturally didn't know, he was lucky to escape.

Misfortune is easy to perceive, whereas luck is always unconscious.

It's like the killer who wasn't sent would never know how lucky he was that he didn't come last night.

Of course, Aoheng didn't sleep, and his Vertical and Horizontal Arrogance was able to operate the protector while sleeping, but it was impossible to have the ability to sense qi. He is not afraid of others coming again, but he is not interested in those knives, he wants the person who holds the knife, if not to catch the head at once, at least to catch the hand holding the knife.

As a result, the night was peaceful, of course, he was not idle, he went through all the information at the moment, trying to find clues that could reveal the identity of the person behind it, but the result was that there were no useful clues.

However, there is no useful clue, and sometimes it is a very useful clue in itself.
