readx;? Seeing the cultivator go and return, Karina was startled and stared at him blankly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The cultivator walked to the bar, stared at her intently for a moment, and asked coldly, "Name?"

"Karina. ”

"Age?"

"Twenty. ”

"Are you married?"

"Also...... Not yet. Answering several questions in a row, Karina felt quite inexplicable, she pretended to be cautious and asked, "Master Jun, are you ...... What's the matter, you ask?"

"You're beautiful. Throwing down these words, the cultivator's gaze took another deep look at Karina's face, and turned to leave.

Even a person as keen-eyed as Karina was puzzled by the second monk who was asked a series of questions by the other party.

She asked Clara to come out and take her place, and she went inside. After a while, Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen also entered the inner room of the tavern and closed the door tightly.

Karina asked, puzzled, "Why did he ask me these questions just now?" She didn't think she had a flaw in it.

Zhao Chen frowned and was silent in thought. Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled and said, "You evacuate immediately, I'm afraid the other party is already suspicious." ”

Karina gasped and asked, "Your Highness means that we are going to abolish this stronghold?"

Shangguan Xiu shook his head slowly and said, "It shouldn't be necessary now, you and Clara are temporarily evacuated, and I will stand here first." ”

Karina thought for a moment and said worriedly, "If Clara and I leave, I'm afraid it will be even more suspicious." ”

Shangguan Xiu said: "Let's just say that I went home to visit relatives." He asked Zhao Chen, "Chen, do we still have a stronghold near Haji?"

"Yes, in the town of Baiyar, more than twenty miles from Hajj. ”

"Well, where to go first. ”

"But Your Highness ......"

"Just do as I say, Zhou Yan has been captured, and you can't be captured anymore. Leave today. Shangguan Xiu said without refusal.

Karina didn't want to leave, the key was that as soon as she and Clara left, this hard-won stronghold would be abolished. She looked at Zhao Chen pleadingly, hoping that Zhao Chen could convince Shangguan Xiu.

Zhao Chen thought about it for a while, nodded to Karina, and said with a straight face: "Just do what Brother Xiu wants!"

Karina and Clara's identities in the Shura Hall are not simple. The former is the name given by Shangguan Xiu himself, and he is also given the surname of the Shangguan family, which is equivalent to the godsister he recognizes, and the latter is the wife of Duan Qiyue, the boss of the Shadow Banner, and neither of them can tolerate any mistakes.

At the request of Shangguan Xiu and Zhao Chen, Karina had no choice but to accept the order. In the evening, Karina and Clara left Haji together.

After the two of them left, Zhao Chen closed the tavern, and in the middle of the room, he asked, "Brother Xiu, do you want to act tonight?"

Shangguan Xiu said: "Without further ado, let's do it tonight." ”

Zhao Chen answered, took out a map, spread it on the table, and said: "This is the map of Longying's Mansion left by Karina, the specific layout inside is not very clear, but the terrain outside has been investigated. ”

Shangguan Xiu's eyes drooped, looking at the map, the content in the map was very simple and rough, and the interior of Long Ying's mansion was completely blank.

Zhao Chen continued to explain: "At present, the Longying Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are fixed sentry posts and mobile sentry posts all around, it is not easy to sneak in, my plan is to let people create some movement in the east to attract the attention of the sentry post, and then Brother Xiu and I will wait for the opportunity to sneak in from the west ......."

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll act alone tonight." ”

Zhao Chen frowned, and said urgently: "Brother Xiu, this is too dangerous. ”

"Multi-person operations are more dangerous and more exposed. Shangguan Xiu said: "I act alone, I have no worries about advancing and retreating, and I am more handy in action." ”

"But ......"

"Well, no more talk. Shangguan Xiu stopped Zhao Chen's persuasion, he folded the map, put it in his arms, and asked, "How many other strongholds do we have in Haji?"

"And three!"

"What's the safest place?"

"It should be the Carl Casino. Zhao Chen explained: "Karl Casino is one of the more famous casinos in Haji, and we used all our means to buy it at the beginning. ”

Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "You can't keep anyone here, you go to the Carl Casino to hide." ”

"Brother Naxiu......"

"Leave me alone, I'm in charge. Zhao Chen was indeed very confident in Shangguan Xiu's ability to protect himself, he didn't say much, he bowed to Shangguan Xiu, indicating that he understood.

Late at night, halfway through the ugly hour, that is, around two o'clock in the morning, Shangguan Xiu was alone, swept out of the tavern, like a gust of wind, and went straight to Long Ying's official residence.

During the day, the guards of Long Ying's mansion were very strict, and at night, the number of soldiers standing guard was not reduced, but more than doubled.

Shangguan Xiu crouched on the roof of a building near the official residence, squinting his eyes and observing carefully.

After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't find a flaw that allowed him to sneak in.

His eyes rolled, and he exuded aura, and with a snort, a strong wind suddenly blew out.

The soldiers standing guard on the periphery of the official residence felt a cold strong wind sweeping towards them, and people were blown so that they couldn't open their eyes, and they subconsciously turned their heads sideways and raised their hands to cover their faces.

The strong wind came and went just as suddenly, and after only a few moments, the strong wind disappeared, and people slowly lowered their hands and looked around, and the streets on the left and right were still quiet, calm and calm, and not even a ghost shadow could be seen.

But they never dreamed that there was not only the wind blowing past them just now, but also a person, Shangguan Xiu.

Shangguan Xiu's speed and body were so light, like a wisp of cotton wool, which was blown into Long Ying's mansion by a strong wind.

Upon entering, he immediately crouched down, his body hidden in the shadows beneath the wall. His body was curled up in a ball, unable to move, almost merging with the shadows, except for a pair of eyes that were astonishingly bright, flickering with an eerie glow in the darkness.

He didn't move, and when there was a stick of incense, his hand touched the ground, and he grabbed a small pebble between his fingers, and flicked it outward, and the pebble flew out, just hitting a nearby stone, making a soft crackling sound.

As soon as the sound fell, two green rays of light flashed out of the night, and rushed towards the stone that made the sound.

Shangguan Xiu immediately grabbed a small pebble again, and popped out again, this time the force of the flying stone made it much bigger just now, impartial, and right in the center of the two green lights.

Whew――

With a muffled snort before death, a black shadow rolled on the ground, and after stopping, fell to the ground motionless. After another stick of incense, confirming that no one nearby had rushed over, Shangguan Xiufang slowly got up, shook his body, and floated to the black shadow that fell to the ground.

It was a pure black hound, huge in size, like a black leopard, with a grinning mouth and long fangs, and at this time, the bloody center of the hound's eyebrows was punched into a bloody hole, and the blood gushed out, and it had already died.

Shangguan Xiu grabbed the hound's corpse and placed it in the shadow under the base of the wall, and he walked towards the depths of the mansion.

In the very center of the garden there is a stone statue of a fountain, and a sitting stone lion with its mouth wide open, and water constantly flowing out of its mouth and falling into the pool below.

Wandering across the garden and continuing to look, there is a large three-story stone building.

That should be the main building of the official residence. Shangguan Xiu silently made a judgment in his heart.

Duki's architectural style is exactly the same as Besa's, and it is not unfamiliar to Shangguan Xiu. He observed for a moment, and found no guards in the garden, so he took a deep breath and shot at the main building directly in front of him, like an arrow from a string.

In the blink of an eye, Shangguan Xiu had already crossed the garden and came to the front of the main building, he jumped up, his toes lightly touched the wall, and he soared more than two meters high, like a ghost, and flashed into an open window on the third floor.

There was no one in the room he entered, and there were many miscellaneous items piled up around it, which looked like a utility storage room in the mansion. Fortunately for Shangguan Xiu, he also found a large pile of clothes for the servants to change in the storage room.

He picked out a relatively clean outfit and put it on himself, then he stood against the door, listening intently to the movement outside. Without hearing the wheezing sound of someone outside, Shangguan Xiu slowly opened the door and walked out.

Coming out of the room, you are greeted by a long corridor with a thick carpet on the floor and a crystal chandelier with candles hanging from the ceiling.

On both sides of the corridor, there were also many traditional Doukie armors, and when you looked at them coldly, it looked as if real people were standing there.

Shangguan Xiu closed the door with his hand, made a moment's judgment, and walked to his left. He walked seven or eight meters away, and a door in the corridor in front of him opened, and immediately after, a young man in a white undershirt came out of it, and yawned profusely.

The two were not far apart, one walked forward, and the other came out of the room, just to take a photo.

The young man obviously didn't expect that there was still someone in the corridor at this hour, he was startled, and after seeing what Shangguan Xiu was wearing, he rolled his eyes, muttered something in a low voice, and then turned around and walked in the direction behind Shangguan Xiu.

After taking two steps, just as the two were about to pass by, the young man suddenly stood still and asked, "Who are you? How come I have never seen ......you before?"

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu made a move like lightning and grabbed his throat.

Before the young man could react to what was going on, he felt the wind in his ears, and everything around him was flying backwards. He closed his eyes in fright, and when he opened them again, he found himself in the storage room.

"You ......" As soon as he said the word you, he felt a pain in his jaw, and the sharp sword was already pressed against his jaw.

"I ask, you answer, dare to scream, I'll cut off your head!" Shangguan Xiu said in a low voice with an expressionless face.

The young man was so frightened that he turned pale and nodded his head again and again.

"Where's the dungeon?"

"In ...... underground!"

"Underground of this building?"

"Yes...... Yes......"

"Where does Long Ying live?"

"In ...... On the second floor!"

"Where's the second floor?"

"This ...... This ......"

"Say!" The dagger in Shangguan Xiu's hand had already pierced the flesh of the young man's jaw, and if he stabbed it any further, he would have to stab it into his mouth. The young man was hurt and afraid, and said tremblingly: "In ...... In the innermost part of the corridor on the left hand side!"

"Lie to me?"

"I didn't ...... No, the little one dares to swear to the sky, the uncle spares his life, the uncle spares ......" His cry for mercy became louder and louder, Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed with cold light, and he secretly looked for death, and the edge of the dagger suddenly skyrocketed outward, turning into a short sword, and the blade of the sword poked out above the young man's head.

This sword pierced through the young man's head from the bottom up. With one hand, he withdrew the formless, and with the other he slowly lowered the young man's body to the ground.

Now he is faced with two choices, either go directly to the dungeon to rescue Zhou Yan and the others, or hold Long Ying hostage first, force him to release Zhou Yan and the others, and let him explain the hiding place of the Duji royal family.

After thinking about it, Shangguan Xiu felt that the most feasible way to hold Long Ying hostage first, and only by holding Long Ying hostage first could he successfully get out of danger with the seriously injured Zhou Yan and others.
