Chapter 53: Murder in the middle of the night
readx;
Zhang Haozi was shocked when he heard Ma Zichen blurt out his nickname, and hurriedly looked at the other party carefully for a while, and then looked at Xu Yang and Dahu Xiaohu carefully, and did not know the four of them, let alone how the other party knew his nickname? Zhang Haozi was about to ask the other party, when he suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps from the periphery of the temple, and couldn't help but look outside, only to see a person wearing a big hat and a cloak rushing into the main hall. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xu Yang saw that there were ten of these people, who came in rain gear, and obviously saw that the inside of the robes was bulging, and it seemed that they were all coming with weapons. When the men in their robes came to the main hall, they saw five people around the campfire, but one of them was naked and naked. These people looked at Xu Yang and the others, a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths, and then they chose a clean place and began to rest.
"If you don't borrow it, I'll rob it!" Zhang Haozi said.
Xu Yang saw that the other party still remembered this jug, snorted coldly, stood up, and said: "You damn human teeth, you dare to show off your majesty on Tai Sui's head, you are really impatient." I advise you to get out of the way obediently, otherwise you will blame me for being unkind. ”
Zhang Haozi was startled when he heard that the other party actually threatened him, and when he was about to scold, he saw that the other party's eyes were shining with cold light, and he couldn't help but tremble, and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything more, but he wondered in his heart whether he had offended the four people? Zhang Haozi muttered in his heart, and returned to the same place slowly, looking at Xu Yang and the four from time to time, and he couldn't remember whether he knew each other or not.
Xu Yang saw that Zhang Haozi had returned to his place, snorted coldly, sat down slowly, and then looked at the ten people who had just entered the hall, and saw that these people had already taken off the rain gear on their bodies, and then looked at these people with waist knives hanging from their waists, and also looked at themselves one by one. One of them coughed, and then they withdrew their gaze and began to light a fire to keep warm.
When Xu Yang saw that these people were looking at him, he obviously showed a trace of murderous aura, and wondered if it was the people of the Holy Lotus Sect, but when he saw that these people did not have a white cloth tied around their necks, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, knowing that if it was a member of the Holy Lotus Sect, he would definitely tie the white cloth around his neck.
And just as the ten people had just sat down with a stick of incense, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried and noisy footsteps and horses' hooves outside the temple. When everyone looked outside, they saw dozens of people rushing into the hall one by one, holding oil umbrellas, while some were carrying a package behind them, while others were leading horses, donkeys, and mules.
When these people rushed into the main hall in the rain, they were also frightened, but they did not expect that there were three people sitting in the main hall, one of which was only one person, six people were sitting in the middle one, and ten people were sitting on the right. When these people's eyes fell on Ma Zichen, some people heard laughter, and some people heard scolding.
Ma Zichen saw so many people rushing in from outside at once, and he also looked at them one by one, and was surprised to see that these people were the ones who went to Longjing with him to take the exam, including Zhu Fuming. Zhu Fuming saw that there were five people around Ma Zichen, and there were two women among them, and said sarcastically: "When you go to Beijing to take the exam, you don't forget to bring your female dependents...... Ahhh......h The servants and scholars behind him had found a clean place, tied their horses, and caught fire.
"Zhu Fuming, you have a cold like this, and you still don't forget to sarcastically say a few words to me? Ma Zichen said.
Zhu Fuming snorted coldly when he heard the other party say about himself, and sneezed heavily before walking towards his servant's bonfire. The rest of the people said hello to Ma Zichen and began to look for a place to rest in the hall.
Xu Yang didn't expect that after a while, this hall was full of people, and some people didn't have a place yet. And the place where Xu Yang and the six people are located is the center of the main hall, and there is no rain leakage above, and the area is the largest place. The dozens of people who had just come in were hurriedly looking for a place to rest, but when they saw that the ten people on the right were all fierce and vicious, they immediately hid far away, and Zhang Haozi on the left did not seem to be a good type, so they also hid far away.
Now, as long as the place where people can stay and rest has been occupied, and there are still people who have nowhere to rest, they set their sights on the place of Ma Zichen's six people, because the area of these six people is the largest, and it is not a problem to accommodate ten people.
Ma Zichen also saw that the three or four people around him had no place to rest, so he immediately beckoned these people to sit with him, and hurriedly packed up the dried clothes and items and moved the place. Lian Gui and Yin Su'e were packing their things, and these people saw that there were female dependents around them, so they just took off their coats and put them on the hanger to dry, while they were wearing wet single clothes and drying them by the campfire.
The hall was full of people and all kinds of mounts, and the smell of feces and urine filled the hall, as if it had become a vegetable market for buying and selling livestock. Lian Gui and Yin Su'e folded the dried items, and then the big tiger and the little tiger tied the things to the horse. Since then, there has been no one in the hall.
As night fell, and the rain outside not only did not decrease, but became heavier and heavier, and suddenly everyone dispelled the idea of going out, and then there was a sound of drowsiness in the hall, and the sound of reading was subtle.
And just when everyone was asleep one after another, I saw that none of the ten people sitting on the right were asleep, and I saw one of them whispering to the other: "Big brother, there are so many people in the hall now, do we still want to do it?"
"When everyone is asleep, we will secretly slaughter them, and then we will leave here without knowing it. The man said. After speaking, the nine people around nodded in unison.
The ten people looked at the people in the hall who were asleep one after another, and waited for an hour of incense to make sure that these people were really asleep, and then took out a black cloth from their arms to cover their faces, holding on to the waist knife, and then two of them stepped over the middle of the few people to Zhang Haozi's side, and then the six people came towards Xu Yang and the six, and the remaining two stood on both sides of the door. When the ten people stood in their positions one after another, they fell on the person in front of Xu Yang one by one, waiting for the other party to give an order.
The person standing in front of Xu Yang saw Xu Yang sitting there cross-legged, and snorted coldly in his heart, wondering if the other party was a monk? However, seeing that the other party's dress was not a monk, he guessed that the other party was just pretending. The man nodded, then raised the waist knife in his hand and slashed at Xu Yang's head. The rest raised their knives and fell towards their respective goals.
And just when this person's waist knife was about to fall on the top of Xu Yang's head, he suddenly saw that the other party opened his eyes and looked at him, and then firmly clamped his knife body with both palms, and with a "bang" sound, the blade broke from the middle, and then saw Xu Yang instantly fly to Lian Gui and Yin Su'e, and knocked the masked man in front of the two women to the ground with a fist and a palm.
And when Xu Yang rescued the two girls from the two knives, the two women were still asleep, not realizing that their lives had been saved by Xu Yang. At this moment, Ma Zichen was seen rolling on a donkey on the ground, easily escaping from the blade in front of him, while the big tiger and the little tiger punched and kicked the person who split him, so that the two did not succeed in killing the two under the knife. At the same time, I saw Zhang Haozi also rolling on the ground, and easily escaped from the two knives.
These ten people saw that the seven people they were going to kill had been prepared in advance and successfully escaped from their own knives, and they wondered if these seven people had been discussed in advance? It turned out that when Xu Yang saw these ten people coming to the main hall, and saw that the other party was carrying knives, he said to Dahu Xiaohu and Ma Zichen to be careful, but did not tell Lian Gui and Yin Su'e. When he saw the six people raising their knives to kill themselves, they immediately fought back. The two women in front of Lian Gui and Yin Su'e were caught off guard by Xu Yang's palm and punch, and suddenly fell on their backs, holding their chests, and struggled to stand up. And Zhang Haozi is also a well-informed person, when he saw ten people coming with knives, he knew that he was careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, so he didn't really fall asleep, so he didn't do a knife.
When the ten masked men saw that none of the seven had been killed by themselves, they were furious, raised their knives and killed them again. Xu Yang saw that the person in front of him began to kill him again, and immediately kicked the person in front of him with all his might, and then knocked the two people in front of Lian Gui and Yin Su'e to the ground one after another, and suddenly the three of them snorted and chirped and did not stand up again. And the person who killed Ma Zichen was never able to kill the other party, he was so angry that he was about to chase after the other party, when he came from his back, he saw a person slapping his palm and hitting his back, and he immediately beat himself upside down, unable to get up.
The big tiger and the little tiger saw the masked two people swinging their knives towards him again, and when they dodged and dodged, they also shook their fists and palms at the two of them to resist. Xu Yang saw that the big tiger and the little tiger could deal with the two masked people, so he wanted to step forward to help, and he also thought that there was no harm in letting the two of them go through the training, and it was a big deal to help when they were in danger. Therefore, Xu Yang stood by and watched the big tiger and the little tiger fighting two masked people.
I saw that the big tiger and the little tiger escaped under the blade of the knife, but their own fist and embroidered legs could not cause substantial damage to the two, so the four of them were fighting in the main hall, and gradually the sound of the fight woke up the sleeping people, and then everyone saw Xu Yang lying next to the four people who were struggling again and again, and there were four people fighting together; on the other side, they saw Zhang Hezi hiding in Tibet, covered with scars, and his body was covered with blood marks everywhere, like a bloody person, and there were two people behind him who were chasing each other with knives; and at the door of the main hall were two two masked people standing anxiously。
Xu Yang saw that the sleeping people in the hall were all woken up by masked people, stretched out his hand to remove the black cloth on the face of a person in front of him, realized that he didn't know the other party, and said, "Who are you? Who instructed you to kill me? Say it quickly, if you don't say anything else, I will kill you." ”
"A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life. It was the old bustard of the Zuixiang Building in Changming County who gave us a hundred taels of silver and ordered us to kill the heroes and others. The man said.
Xu Yang heard that the other party said that the old bustard sent him, and suddenly thought that he had humiliated the other party, and that Zhang Haozi had also humiliated the other party, so these masked people came specifically to pick on their own side and Zhang Haozi, but they didn't think that the other party really sent someone to hunt him down, and he came so quickly.
Xu Yang thought that it was only two days ago that he saved Yin Su'e, why did these ten masked men come so quickly? If these ten masked people set off from Changming County and came here on foot, it would have to take five days to walk, but why did they walk into this ruined temple with their front feet, and this group of people followed with their back feet? This group of people had never come on horseback, could it be that they were killers from elsewhere?
Xu Yang couldn't figure out why this group of people came so quickly, and asked the other party: "If you set off from Changming County and came on foot, how did you catch up with us so quickly?
We didn't chase us here from Changming County. We received a message from the bustard, explaining what had happened, and telling us about the appearance and physique of the heroes, so that we were able to meet you in this ruined temple!
Xu Yang heard that the other party was able to come so quickly after receiving the bustard's flying pigeon message, and asked, "Who are you? Where did you receive the old bustard's flying pigeon message?"
When the man heard the other party ask him about his details, he was immediately speechless, unwilling to tell the truth. Xu Yang saw that the other party refused to speak, and shook his fist in front of the other party's eyes, and the man hurriedly said: "We are bandits around Miyang County, so we can go south so quickly to meet all the heroes." As he spoke, the three people who were crawling on the ground hurriedly retreated to the door, the two black-faced men with the big tiger and the little tiger also stopped and retreated to the door, and the two people who were beating Zhang Hezi also stopped and retreated to the door.
"If I let you go, will you still come to hunt me down?" asked Xu Yang.
