Chapter Thirty-Six: Heaven and Earth Are Broken
At this moment, Sun Xiaosheng was dressed in nocturnal black, like a civet cat, and swept towards the outer wall of the backyard.
Tonight, he was going to visit someone's courtyard in the Sun Mansion, he wanted to see what kind of secret this person hid, and on the surface he seemed to care about him, but the timing of his appearance every time was too coincidental, so he couldn't help but doubt it.
The qi and blood in Sun Xiaosheng's body surged slightly, and the strength of the middle level of the mortal body realm made him run like flying, and in just a moment, he had already come to the courtyard wall, and with a slight touch of his feet, it was like a wild goose flying over the courtyard wall.
All this is extremely hidden under the cover of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the brocade clothes are walking at night, Sun Xiaosheng tasted this familiar feeling, and his heart was quite excited.
However, all this excitement disappeared completely the moment he climbed the courtyard wall, because he suddenly caught a glimpse of a courtyard wall outside the Sun Mansion behind him, a black figure was also attached to the courtyard wall, looking at him a little stunned.
"I'll go, it's too coincidental, even this kind of thing can meet peers. Sun Xiaosheng almost fell back into his inner courtyard.
But what made Sun Xiaosheng very strange was that this person looked at himself in a daze, but he didn't make a move on himself, nor did he dodge, but beckoned to him.
"What's the situation?" Sun Xiaosheng was vigilant in his heart, but now, it was impossible to turn back again.
Quietly jumping a few times, Sun Xiaosheng came to the same courtyard wall as the man in black, both of them were masked in black, and they could only see each other's eyes, and Sun Xiaosheng was also surprised when he saw this person.
"Hey, brother, why didn't you go to the Sun Mansion when you didn't go to Merlin to gather?" said the man in black in a low voice.
"Merlin?gather?" Sun Xiaosheng was a little stunned, did this guy want to go to Merlin to gather with his companions.
"Didn't he regard me as his companion?" Sun Xiaosheng seemed to understand a little, and he didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, my foot slipped and fell in when I was in a hurry just now, so I climbed up." β
"Huh?" The man in black looked at Sun Xiaosheng in some surprise when he heard this, obviously he was also shocked by this answer.
After being stunned for a moment, the man in black frowned and asked Sun Xiaosheng: "By the way, brother, my code name is Tianchuang, what is your name?"
Sun Xiaosheng replied casually as he approached the man in black, "Uh...... My code name is Dique!"
"En......" The man in black thought for a moment.
"No, there is no such code name in this operation!" He immediately Huo Ran got up and looked at Sun Xiaosheng.
"Oh, maybe I'm mistaken?" Sun Xiaosheng touched his head, and continued to approach without stopping.
"Then I will ask you the code 'Heavenly King Gaidi Tiger', what is the next sentence" The man in black looked at Sun Xiaosheng in disbelief and asked.
At this moment, Sun Xiaosheng had already come to him, only two steps away.
"Next sentence, next sentence...... I'll cover your mother!"
Suddenly, Sun Xiaosheng's figure shot violently, like an arrow off the string, flying in front of the man in black.
The man in black was shocked and immediately wanted to retreat.
However, how could his speed compare to Sun Xiaosheng, who suddenly burst out, almost in an instant, Sun Xiaosheng had already come to his side, and before he had time to react, he slapped the back of the man's head.
"Bang!", the man in black rolled his eyes, and his body lay on the courtyard wall.
"It's so naΓ―ve to come out and mix, and it's really hard for you. Sun Xiaosheng was very sympathetic to this second goods, but he didn't kill it, and threw it directly in an alley somewhere in the market, and then he rushed towards Merlin on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
He was also very curious about what kind of organization this was, and it was definitely not a good thing to gather together late at night, since it was fate, it would be good to go and investigate it himself.
And this 'Merlin' Sun Xiaosheng also knows in his memory, this is a suburban scenic spot, not really growing plum blossoms, but there is a forest there, this kind of tree will grow pale red flowers every winter, and the stars are quite similar to plum blossoms, so people call it Merlin.
In the past, Sun Dashao often co-authored some fox friends and dog friends, and led a group of Qinglou women to enjoy the scenery here.
Sun Xiaosheng climbed over the wall and tiles all the way, and the speed of moving forward between the rabbit and the falcons, and when he approached Merlin, what Sun Xiaosheng expected happened, he actually met the men in black who came to Merlin to assemble one after another.
However, this guy didn't have the slightest intention of evading, but every time he encountered the man in black approaching, he immediately showed an extremely vigilant look and asked: "I am a heavenly cripple, and your code name is." β
And when the men in black answered his code name, he looked at them with a scrutinizing look and then said a word
"Heavenly King Covers the Tiger!"
And the first man in black immediately replied: "Noon on hoe day!"
Sun Xiaosheng stumbled at that time, and almost didn't flip a heel fight, who came out with this joint language, I promise not to kill you if you stand up.
Moving forward all the way like this, Sun Xiaosheng made the code names, joint words, and even the exact location of the meeting clear.
After less than a quarter of an hour, Sun Xiaosheng finally came to the meeting place, which was a clearing to the west of Merlin.
At this moment, in the open space, there were already dozens of figures standing in shadows, all dressed in black and masked, revealing only a pair of dark and shiny eyes.
Sun Xiaosheng stood in the crowd very casually, very relaxed. This is also his mind is far beyond the reach of people, otherwise ordinary people are mixed into the nest of a group of mysterious people, even if they are not afraid, they have to be nervous, but this guy looks around, looking at him casually, but no one pays attention to him.
After another while, more than a dozen black-clothed people came one after another, a total of nearly sixty black-clothed people, and according to their footsteps when they were in a hurry, most of these people were cultivators above the bone-casting stage, and there should be no martial artists who opened the spirit realm.
And when they got here, these black-clothed people didn't talk casually, most of them stood in silence, as if they were waiting for something.
After a while, a sound like a crow suddenly sounded in the forest, and the cry sounded three times in a row, and then I saw a figure sweeping from a distance, and I saw that the person was also dressed in black, and his body was very fast, and he had come to everyone with a few taps under his feet.
The man in black fell in front of everyone, his figure was not tall, but he looked a little thin, he glanced around the crowd, and immediately all the men in black straightened their waists and faced him, not daring to make the slightest noise.
It seems that this person should be the leader of many men in black.
"Very well, all sixty men were assembled on time. The voice of the man in black was very low, as dry and penetrating as the crow of a crow, which made people feel very uncomfortable to listen to.
"I'll talk about tonight's mission. β
"Tonight, there will be a team of people and horses with a batch of goods through a small road only five miles away from here, and our task today is to intercept this batch of goods. β
"And remember, don't leave a single mouth alive. β
"Yes!" everyone replied in a low voice.
"Alright, let's go and ambush now. The man in black ordered.
Sixty black-clothed men immediately took action, like ghosts in the night, and their figures shuttled, and they headed towards a small road five miles to the southwest, and the black-clothed leader was stronger than everyone else, and ran at the forefront.
Sun Xiaosheng looked at the back of the man in black, and always felt that he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, but when he was thinking about it, he had already arrived at his destination, a circuitous path.
On both sides of the path were weeds half a man tall, the grass was so dense that it could completely hide a person, and it was even more difficult to distinguish in the night, and the sixty men in black and the leader all hid their bodies in the weeds in an instant.
The so-called "Jia Ma Cong is neutral, and the sword and gun team is home." Killing is like a joke, and snatching is a career. β
Sun Xiaosheng saw the same, and also got into the grass, he was in the middle of the crowd, and he could easily and quietly look at the black-clothed man beside him, as well as the situation on both sides of the road.
Coincidentally, the black-clothed leader also came to Sun Xiaosheng's side after checking everyone's hiding, and also observed the situation on both sides of the road in the grass.
Sun Xiaosheng quietly looked at the black-clothed leader, but found that this person's eyes were not as dark as he imagined, but as crystal clear as a pair of amber.
"Huh...... How can this guy have a fragrance? Could it be ......" Sun Xiaosheng suddenly smelled the faint fragrance coming from the man in black, and couldn't help but think in his heart, could this guy have a special habit?
Sun Xiaosheng felt a chill in his heart, and immediately moved away quietly to the side.
The leader seemed to feel the movement of Sun Xiaosheng beside him, turned his head to look at Sun Xiaosheng, and when his eyes met Sun Xiaosheng, he also showed a thoughtful look, as if he had thought of something.
However, at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard not far away.
"Someone's coming!"
The trail that was originally silent for a while is even more silent at the moment, without a single sound.
As the minutes ticked by, at first the children could hear the sound of horses' hooves on the ground, but now they could hear the wheels rolling across the ground and people talking loudly.
Sun Xiaosheng looked at it curiously, he also wanted to see who was so unlucky and why he was targeted by this group of people.
Not far from the trail can already be seen, a long carriage of horses is coming from afar, there are quite a lot of people, it is estimated that there are forty or fifty people, each tall figure, steady steps, and sabers at the waist, the team is neatly advancing and retreating, at a glance it is not an ordinary convoy of Jianghu dart bureau.
At this moment, two people were talking loudly, it was the leader of the convoy, the two people riding tall horses, they seemed to be the leaders of this group, and the man on the left was burly and carrying a big axe behind his back. The man on the right, on the other hand, was thinner, but on his horse, he held a long unsheathed sword in his hand, which glittered in the moonlight.
"Hey, I said Lao Feng, why are you so careful, you keep holding the sword all the way, are you tired?" The burly man's voice was like thunder, and they heard it from the distant Sun Xiaosheng.
"Old Niu, don't be careless, what we are transporting this time is very important, and there must be no mistakes. The man with the sword sounded like a middle-aged man.
"Eh, you are so boring, we traveled secretly from the imperial capital, how could anyone know about the overnight arrival, and who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall to loot the things of our Shangguan family?"
"You're good at everything, but your heart is too big, so be careful. β
"Hmph! I'm not as timid as you, if someone who doesn't open his eyes dares to rob the goods, Lao Tzu's opening axe will open his head to bloom!. β
The two argued and moved forward, but Young Master Sun, who was hiding in the grass, had a strange expression.
He never thought that what this group of black-clothed people were going to loot was actually the Shangguan family's horse caravan, and it seemed that the Shangguan family was transporting something good.
Is this what people often say about the narrow road of the enemy? Today, I had a never-ending quarrel with the Shangguan family, and now I have to deliver a big meal to me.
Sun Xiaosheng was not in a hurry, calmed his mind, and slowly waited for the team to approach......
