"Zhou Gongjin is not afraid, our real enemy is the White Deer Cave. With our current strength, when Lu You, Su Lao Tang, White Deer Cave, and Al Tieno are united, we can say that there is no chance at all, but there is not no gap between the four, as for how to use these gaps, that is what we have to do. ”

Gong Jin made this proposition at the meeting, and the subsequent tactics were centered on it. In every battle, Gong Jin rushed ahead of Xiao Qiao, rushed into the enemy formation with Yan Ning, and the best combination of high tacit understanding killed the enemy army on his back, and most of the time, Xiao Qiao didn't even have a chance to make a move.

Since knowing Xiao Qiao's physical condition, Gong Jin began to take over her work. Regardless of whether this was an act of power grabbing in the eyes of others, he just wanted to reduce the damage suffered by Xiao Qiao, use the three artifacts one less time, and smile less painfully.

What Gong Jin did was not just to charge into battle, in the past, under the command of Xiao Qiao, this rebel army was almost invincible and won even battles, but when Gong Jin gradually dominated the planning of the war, this long-term undefeated situation changed.

When the rebels fought with the Eltino army, they became both offensive and defensive, sometimes seeking victory in the face of danger, using trickery and trickery to achieve victory, and sometimes they did not win, and the rebels gave up their low-hanging fruit victory and were defeated in very strange circumstances.

"Most of the young people will be difficult to keep, because premature success makes people get carried away, there is no experience of failure, and it is difficult to get up after a defeat...... Is this what you want to say to everyone?

I don't really understand why Gong Jin's tactics are like this, and when he and Gong Jin were admiring the moon and stargazing at night, Xiao Qiao asked Gong Jin like this.

"No, Xiao Qiao, what you are talking about is the way of life, and I am just using soldiers. Military science is deception, just like playing chess on a chessboard, you can't just see the chess pieces, you have to see the whole chessboard. Sometimes forward, sometimes backward, play scene by scene with your chess pieces to confuse your enemies and make them do what you want them to do. ”

"These ...... I really don't understand, I just rush forward with my head down, not knowing how to lead the troops into battle. ”

"Don't worry, I'm very capable, leave the work you are not good at to me, you don't need to charge, just stay on the front line on horseback and let the soldiers see it, and I'm ...... will be responsible for dedicating this land to you. ”

Gong Jin smiled and spoke, but Sven's smile was full of conceit. Xiao Qiao didn't understand where the source of this confidence was, but looking at Gong Jin like this, she felt that this man didn't look like he was fighting, but like he was playing chess on the map of the Wind Continent.

...... But every step taken by Gong Jin can be called a masterpiece of the devil.

It didn't take long for some rumors to spread, and those unpleasant rumors pointed directly to the White Deer Cave, saying that this ancient sect had been secretly conspiring and indulging in several tragic wars on the Wind Continent, including funding the current Guiyi rebels.

All kinds of rumors should have stopped at the wise, but when these rumors were greatly increased by some evidence, and some well-intentioned people used intelligence channels to spread them widely, the rumors were like wildfire, and they were out of control, because no matter how much the people of Altino worshiped the White Hart Cave as a god, they were still curious about the words "scandal" and "truth".

It is not easy to stir up trust in the White Hart Cave in Altino, but the reverse is a different situation, when all kinds of revealed truths spread like a prairie fire, and many of the Eltino officers who were fighting the rebels and were confused by the rebels' actions became angry, and roared at the hand that had been pushing them behind their backs for a long time.

With the deep strength of Bailu Cave's entanglement, it was not difficult to eliminate these rebounds from both military and political aspects, but Su Laotang was too busy to take care of himself at the moment, busy with his own fierce internal fighting, and unable to deal with external disputes.

The larger and older the organization, the more complex the factional struggles, especially in the White Deer Cave. Not only Su Lao Tang and Lu You have become the two major mountains of the power game, but the three Su Lao themselves also have struggles and entanglements, although they are both millennium initiates of each other, but no one looks at anyone well, coupled with the growth and decline of the power of their respective disciples, they have been fighting openly and secretly for hundreds of years long before Gong Jin entered the gate wall of Bailu Cave.

More than eighty percent of Altino's high-ranking officers were born in the White Deer Cave, and many of them were related to the subordinate forces of the three elders. Gong Jin knew this very well, not only knew which person was which faction, but also knew who the real master of his heart was, and taking advantage of these contradictions, he made the rebels do all kinds of different attacks, creating illusions, deliberately giving up some victories, and deliberately allowing some troops to retreat intact when all friendly forces were wiped out.

The different results and treatment naturally made people suspicious, and with all kinds of rumors, people began to wonder if there were any comrades who colluded with the rebels. Suspicion, suspicion, lies, and anger frequently sprung up between Eltino and the White Hart Cave, and when the two groups became suspicious because of this, there were more subtle and dense problems within them.

The three elders do have the wisdom of the elders, and they can see that someone is spreading rumors, but even if they know this, it is useless, they have been suspicious of each other for hundreds of years, and every word of those rumors is actually just a matter of appealing to the words in their hearts, provoking their resentment and grievances, knowing that this is the enemy's strategy, but they are gradually attracted by the dark hope in their hearts.

"In fact, it is not difficult to provoke the three elders. Their hopes are more rational than reasonable, as long as they believe that they can easily kill us when they sweep away their opponents, they will do what we expect. ”

"Oh, Gongjin, my friend, you are such a cunning thing with a human face and a beast's heart, if one day I were to be your enemy, I would rather eat. ”

“...... Thanks for the compliment. ”

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and through the fighting in the past two months, the rebel members clearly felt that the regular army of Eltino was still very strong, but the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of the soldiers were far less than before, and the cooperation between the troops was more alienated, and there were even more gaps to take advantage of.

"Don't rush to attack, don't pay attention to those opportunities, we need to wait a little longer. ”

Gong Jin told the soldiers to wait patiently, and what they were waiting for, broke out at the beginning of next month. The mutual suspicion and struggle of the three elders spread from the White Deer Cave to the front line of Eltino, and after a certain verbal conflict, a civil war broke out among the frontline troops of Eltino, and in just fifteen days, this conflict spread to the whole country.

"What the hell is going on? Why is our army fighting on its own?"

All the soldiers of Altino have the same confusion, and the soldiers in the rebel army, no less confused than them, watched in amazement as Altino fell into a fire, and the generals of the local commanders followed their own positions and hopes to send troops to attack, knowing that the rebel enemy was eyeing them, but they still couldn't put down the swords in their hands, and insisted on separating life and death with the enemy who hung the same banner.

"These human beings...... I really don't know what to say. ”

Most of the orcs and ghosts in the rebel army have this feeling, and they can't imagine that the expected hard battle will turn sharp and become like this. If all the enemies are in civil strife, it seems that this war will not last long, and perhaps in another year and a half, the rebels will be able to capture the central capital and really raise their eyebrows.

The idea was accomplished five years earlier than originally expected, and the rebels rejoiced and euphoriated, and no one forgot who was to blame for this great situation, and from the day of the fierce civil war of the Eltino army, everyone looked at Gongjin differently.

"With our strength alone, it will take years and months to defeat Altino, but if the time is too long, the risk on our side will be greatly increased, at present, our grain and grass equipment are all funded by the Bai family, but the White Army Emperor is not credible, if the news is exposed, the Bai family will pay the price of early hostility with the White Deer Cave, and he will definitely abandon us immediately. ”

Gong Jin said: "Therefore, I use the current method, only fierce civil strife can bring down a big country in a short period of time." When people dance wildly because of their hope, they can't cooperate, they can't control themselves to do the right thing, and even in order to defeat a new enemy, they will try to pull the hand of the enemy. ”

A bunch of letters were spread out on Gong Jin's desk, these were all things that had been received in recent days, from the commanders of the various Eltino legions in the melee, the content was all to express friendship to the Guiyi rebels, hoping that the two sides could cooperate and join hands to win the world.

"There are so many to choose from, and the loyalty of these people is not to be trusted, and if we do join forces with them, they will surely steal a dagger at the celebration of the sweep of all enemies, but we only need to strike before then, and there is nothing to fear. ”

Gong Jin spoke lightly, his face was indifferent, and he couldn't see the tiredness of just finishing a long journey, a few days ago he and Xiao Qiao rushed to the border of Eltino to negotiate with the secret envoy of the Qinglou Alliance. After Bailu Cave cut off all the information of Gong Jin, in order to obtain the latest information, he decided to join forces with the mysterious organization of the Free City, and the Baizi family helped to pull the strings, and the two sides had secret talks to make an appointment to purchase information in the future.

"The army has not yet been sent, and the grain is the first, but there is something more important than grain and grass in the war, that is, intelligence, although the asking price of the Qinglou Alliance is a lion's mouth, but their intelligence quality is very high, fast and accurate, this is the reason why I am willing to cooperate with them. ”

"Gong Jin, you are really amazing...... But you've done so many things, have you noticed what's going on around you?"

There was a hint of gloom in Yan Ning's tone, as if he was warning something, and Gong Jin, who noticed this unusualness, immediately raised his head from the pile of letters.

"What's wrong? Yan Ning, do you see something wrong?"

"Gong Jin, you rushed too quickly, I'm afraid this is not Xiao Qiao's intention, right? Have you noticed the way the soldiers look at you recently?"

“......”

"You can't be unaware, are you? The soldiers are afraid of you, Gong Jin, they are afraid of you. The tactics you have used during this time are all dark methods, sowing discord, rumors, assassinations, these things are not only feared by your enemies, but also by the people around you who watch you do things, afraid that you will one day use this method against them. The soldiers are either reckless men or ghosts who have suffered from human tricks, and your stratagems happen to be the ones that most arouse their disgust. ”

Yan Ning said: "This kind of tactic, the effect is very fast, but the sequelae is also the greatest, I don't know what you are anxious about, with your wisdom it is impossible not to know, when the military general incurs people's fear, the consequence is the death of the cunning rabbit and the cooking of lackeys, will you tell me that you want to do this?"

Such a painstaking persuasion is really inappropriate for Yan Ning's surname, but she did notice this crisis. Recently, wandering around the barracks, listening to the conversations of the soldiers and chatting with the officers, Yan Ning clearly felt that a fear of Zhou Yu was rapidly spreading throughout the army.

Moreover, in order to act conveniently, Gong Jin recently ordered many things to be carried out without Xiao Qiao's consent, and in the eyes of others, he naturally felt that he was noisy and did not put the alliance leader in his eyes, which was definitely a taboo in a military organization, Yan Ning felt that Gong Jin could not have thought of this, however, although his friend's wisdom was above his own, he often couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

"Rouge ...... It's really not good, but do you think we still have time?"

Gong Jin didn't want to explain why he was doing things, however, there was not much time left, and before what should happen, there had to be someone who really understood why he did it.

Xiao Qiao's physical problems can't be known to Yan Ning. So what Gong Jin told Yan Ning was a reason that Xiao Qiao couldn't know either.

"What we are doing now has slowly pushed Su Laotang and Master to a limit, and when they can't bear it anymore, they will take the initiative to fight back against us, and their first counterattack is ...... It's to announce my identity to the public. ”

Gong Jin smiled bitterly and spoke, and when she heard this, Yan Ning was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Gong Jin was worried about, and looking at her friend's worried eyes, Yan Ning knew that her guess was right, and the seriousness of the matter was probably more than imagination.

"Oh...... But so what? But that means you used to be a disciple of the White Deer Cave, what's the big deal? Didn't I also become a disciple of the White Deer Cave? Or is it the apprentice of the old man Lu You? What does it matter?"

Yan Ning stood up, laughing and talking a little exaggeratedly, trying her best to look like there was no big deal, trying to use it to dispel her friend's worries and relieve her own anxiety. However, Gong Jin's eyes seemed to see through what she wanted to hide, a feeling that was getting heavier and heavier, making it difficult for her to maintain the smile she was accustomed to, and the sadness that had not surfaced since her mother's death began to slowly gnaw away at Yan Ning's heart.

"It really doesn't matter, as long as you are like me, openly confess your identity, and declare that you will rebel from the White Deer Cave from now on and become a part of this coalition army, they will ...... They will definitely accept you as they accept me, it's a trivial matter, you don't need to worry......"

When Gong Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head, Yan Ning felt that his heart sank straight, and his voice gradually became choked from trembling.

Gongjin is different from himself, before becoming a part of the rebels, he has accumulated too many blood debts, killed too many ghosts and orcs, especially the battle of Jingyanggang, he not only killed the previous clan master, but also slaughtered all the ghosts and captives, leaving no one, which made him the public enemy of the ghosts in the whole world, and his own high status in the rebels is related to the "serious injury" of Zhou Gongjin at the beginning.

Therefore, even if Gong Jin now makes his identity public and expresses remorse, it is impossible for the rebels to accept him, and countless angry avengers will ask him to pay for the blood debt of the past killings, tearing him to pieces in an instant, and even Xiao Qiao can't stop him.

"You don't have to worry about anyone daring to touch you, I can kill them all for you first, whether it's a thousand or ten thousand, I won't let you have anything to do, you ...... And Xiao Qiao, I will try to protect you and never let you be harmed......"

"Yan Ning, it's useless, the main reason why they accept you is because of your bloodline, because you are their own person, so they are able to ignore the past. And that's what I hate the most, I hate the ghosts, and Xiao Qiao's ideals don't move me anything, even if I want to die, I don't want to have any friendly relations with the ghosts. ”

Gong Jin said in a low voice: "So, there is only one thing you can do for me, if you regard me and Xiao Qiao as very important, then please help me protect Xiao Qiao after I leave." When I'm done here and White Hart Cave reveals my identity, I'll leave here, and I'll be responsible for all the negative effects of tactics during this time. One nasty ghost is enough, and you can establish an ideal kingdom in the light world after the darkness, and as for the revenge that will inevitably appear in the army at that time...... Well, please do what you guys have to do. ”

"Gong Jin!"

Gong Jin shook his hand to stop Yan Ning's words, and pleaded: "Do what you have to do, okay? You can explain to the outside world that you never saw my true face when you were in White Deer Cave, because I am a perverted shemale who doesn't like to be seen by women, and I wear a mask all day long, so you can't recognize me in the rebels, and the incident where you seriously injured me is regarded as if you fell for my trick, and people like you and don't care about this kind of problem." ”

"But I care!"

No longer the usual free and elegant style, Yan Ning spoke with an obvious crying voice, it was because she knew this man too well, she knew that when he left the rebels, he would never find a place to hide, for himself and Xiao Qiao, who were still in the rebels, he would continue to try to fight against the White Deer Cave, and it was even very likely that he would use his knowledge of the White Deer Cave to assassinate Lu You...... This is really a way to death with a very low chance of survival.

"Gong Jin, aren't we good partners? In the past few hundred years, our tacit understanding has been so good, and the alliance has never failed, and now you leave me like this, what is it? You are actually good, and you are very handsome, there is no reason to leave here, if you want to leave, I should leave, I ......"

Sensing that he was beginning to speak incoherently, Yan Ning sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, covering his face with his hands helplessly, and letting his tears begin to flow.

can't stop it, this man is about to leave, this departure is likely to be goodbye, and he will lose this friend and this friendship forever. Why is there always nothing left in my life? All the beautiful things that I want to cherish are shattered and disappear when I am approaching, is I really an ominous daughter?

"Yan Ning, don't think too much, and don't be presumptuous. In fact, you are a wonderful woman, you are beautiful, have a good figure and a sense of surname, have a very smart head, and do things very interestingly, especially the long hair, the way it floats around, it makes people want to touch it every time...... Although you have a strange temper and are a kissing woman, I have never seen a better woman than you, and I used to think that if I had the opportunity in my next life, I should propose to you. ”

Gong Jin is a person who is very good at using words, and his last sentence was full of shocking power, which made Yan Ning, who had been gloomy, raise his head suddenly, and his beautiful watery phoenix eyes were full of consternation, and his delicate red lips were half open, as if he looked at the man in front of him angrily.

“...... However, in this life, you deserve a better man. ”

In the intervening days of this secret meeting, things did not change, and the two people who had talked about some secrets continued to do their business as if nothing had happened.

Gong Jin and Yan Ning are very good partners, in the past long time together, as long as the two of them act together, they have never missed, no matter what kind of difficult work, whether it is bright or dark, they can complete it properly. However, that doesn't mean they don't think about failure.

As early as the day the two worked together, they had a consensus that when engaging in dark work is dangerous and irretrievable, one must turn a blind eye to the other and never affect his companions. This consensus has saved them from the crisis of total annihilation many times, and now, Gong Jin also asks Yan Ning to let go of things that cannot be saved.

As for what Gong Jin was waiting for, it happened on the third day after the two talked. A more intense civil war broke out, but this time it didn't happen on the front line, but in Bailu Cave, where the three elders could no longer maintain their depth and calmness under the rapid evolution of the situation, and officially turned their faces and took action.

The group of disciples dominated by the old man in the past attacked the faction of the old man in the future, burned down the house, killed and injured many disciples, and the two old men in the future and the present joined forces to demand that the old man in the past pay the price, the strange equilibrium state in the past seven hundred years was broken, and the three parties each gathered their disciples and fought fiercely, which lasted three and a half days, and the group of disciples of the old man in the past was wiped out, and he himself escaped from the White Deer Cave under the cover of the sacrifice of his life by a few disciples.

Civil strife is not the first time in the history of the inheritance of White Deer Cave, but the trouble to the extent that the news cannot be hidden, it is unprecedentedly serious, when this information is transmitted to the outside world, people know that the fire of war has reached a level that can not be suppressed.

"The situation is favorable to our army, according to the urgent information from the Qinglou Alliance last night, in the past, Su Lao was ready to take over the military power in this area, destroy us first, and then go back to counterattack Bailu Cave, and this is our opportunity. ”

Gong Jin said: "The day after tomorrow, he will pass through this valley on the map, and we will ambush him here and let the misfortune pass...... Be a thing of the past!"

has long been tightening his nerves and waiting for an opportunity, Gong Jin will not let go of every good opportunity to break through, and quickly dispatches troops to prepare for an ambush.

Some people questioned that wouldn't it be better if the previous discordant plan could succeed and let the old man in the past counterattack the White Deer Cave and lose both? Gong Jin rebuked him very unceremoniously for this.

If he does not quickly re-establish his prestige, how will anyone be willing to continue to follow the loser? Among the three elders, the old man in the past happened to be the person with the highest martial arts and the most disgusted with the Ghost Yi clan, so it is reasonable to have to deal with him before he can join up with a large number of troops.

No one objected to this judgment, and all the generals obeyed Gong Jin's leadership and left for the task one by one, leaving only the uneasy Yan Ning in his heart to talk to Gong Jin.

"The old man ...... in the past"

"I understand that this fight came a little early, and the opponent is very inappropriate, I thought it would be the future Su Lao who was expelled from the past, and Su Lao was not a good opponent in the past. ”

Gong Jin has always been good at martial arts, but he never thinks he is invincible, and he knows that there are still some masters in the world whose martial arts are better than him. Except for those Heavenly Rank Martial Artists who saw the head of the dragon and could not see the end, the three elders were the most difficult enemies in the earth realm, and in the past, the elders happened to be the strongest of the three elders.

"While the battle was going on, the two of us were responsible for killing the past, and Xiao Qiao led the other masters to purge his disciples, and prevent any reinforcements from appearing in the White Deer Cave to interfere with the battle. ”

"Let Xiao Qiao take the minions to fight the minions? Won't you be too wasteful? If Xiao Qiao joins forces with us, the power of the three major artifacts will increase the odds of victory a lot. ”

"No, I alone am not sure to defeat the past, but with you and Yan Ning, our chances of victory are already around five or five waves, so there is no need to let Xiao Qiao participate in the war. ”

Rejecting the proposal to let Xiao Qiao join the war with his eyes, Gong Jin sneered: "If it is to play conspiracy, the three elders are stronger than us young people, but if it is more vicious and insidious than the battlefield, I really don't think we will lose to them." ”

Yan Ning did not object to this proposal, and her cooperation with Gong Jin was carried out in the next day. When the people who were ambushed in the valleys on both sides watched the dejected team slowly approaching, they almost laughed out of their stomachs, only Gong Jin and Yan Ning knew that things were not easy.

The battle soon broke out, and the crossbow weapons of the long range turned into a rain of arrows and fell on the heads of the enemy, causing many casualties. With the martial arts of the old man in the past, he could have detected the murderous aura and ambush in the valley, but Gong Jin and Yan Ning's calculations were accurate, and before he could sense that something was wrong and had no time to make a move, the two of them had already rushed out with lightning and attacked the old man in the past.

The outcome of this battle does not depend on the number of minions left, so in the past, Su Lao responded to the provocation of the two Lu You disciples, and the three of them fought and left, quickly leaving the main battlefield, and fighting to the death in a place that would not affect others.

In the past, the strength of the old man's martial arts was even more than imagination. More than a thousand years of internal force cultivation, proficient in the thirty-six stunts of the White Deer Cave, the power of this brocade-robed old man, made Gong Jin almost believe that the other party had broken through the boundary, and the Wu Yue Divine Thunder of Rouge Ning collided with him, and the palm power that should have been indestructible could not be exerted at all, and he was also shocked by the same Wuyue Divine Thunder, and his wrist bone was almost broken on the spot.

However, after a few rounds of fighting, Gong Jin and Yan Ning gradually noticed something strange, and finally came to the conclusion that the old man had been injured in the fierce civil war in the White Deer Cave before, and now his strength has decreased, and he is not durable to fight.

Aware of this, Gong Jin and Yan Ning played a silent tacit understanding, one used a quick body to fight, and the other forcibly endured the strength of the old man in the past, making him use as much energy as possible.

Both sides were jealous, unwilling to drag on the battle for too long, when Yan Ning was still a little hesitant, afraid of the danger of attacking, Gong Jin had already rushed up, did not dodge or dodge, purely with his own protective true qi and suffered a "Liangyi Earthquake", the left rib was immediately broken, and as a result of hurting the internal organs, a large mouthful of blood spurted out.

In the past, the old man laughed arrogantly, since Gong Jin used all his strength to protect his life, how much strength could this mouthful of blood and the subsequent blow have?

This arrogant thought, when the blood sprayed on the face and the intense burning sensation burned the face, made the old man in the past understand how wrong he was, he never dreamed that this proud disciple of Lu You was actually more ruthless and fierce than Tao Bei, who was known as the "Demon Wolf", and actually took poison by himself when he started, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the strange poison from the Great Snow Mountain made his face burn instantly.

The blow that followed was also unusual, there was not much power left in the fist, but when the fist approached the door, a finger suddenly popped out, and the sharp hidden weapon on the thumb that he wore at some point, combined with the King Kong Finger Thunder, one of the thirty-six stunts, suddenly pierced into the eye socket of the old man in the past, and blinded his left eye.

Stimulated by the dazzling pain to stimulate his potential, the old man roared and fought back, and a palm almost broke Gong Jin's chest, making him roll out far away like a broken kite, but before he could pursue further, the wind behind him sounded, and the old man hurriedly turned around and blasted out with all his strength.

The blinding bleeding affected his vision, and when he saw that the thing that fell down was a huge thick boulder with Cheng Rengao, he was already a step too late, although the palm force smashed the boulder to pieces, but he was bullied by Yan Ning to get close to his back, and at the moment when his true qi was weakened, Wuyue Divine Thunder shattered his back.

Roaring wildly, the old man used to drum a leg with all his remaining strength, causing Yan Ning's lower abdomen to be severely injured and flying out, but Gong Jin did not let go of the opportunity, he was seriously injured, ignoring the pain and ignoring the danger of Yan Ning, and at the same time as the old man kicked his legs in the past, he also sent the dagger into his lower abdomen, cutting through the internal organs, making this fierce lion-like strong old man howl and fall down.

“...... You, you two...... It's despicable...... ...... by such means"

"Falsely, Master Su doesn't seem to have thought about how the three of us juniors survived in the past when we were not successful in martial arts, and how did our two juniors survive? ”

Remembering the lesson of the enemy's dying counterattack, Yan Ning did not get too close, and threw out a boulder from a distance, which was like a blow to the giant pillar, shattering the enemy's head and ending the hateful guy who had oppressed him for hundreds of years.

As if a boulder had been put down in his heart, Yan Ning thought of Gong Jin at this time, and only then did he realize that he had fallen to the ground unconscious, and his body was full of blood.

That night, for first aid, Xiao Qiao was busy in Gongjin's room all night, and Yan Ning, who was not familiar with medical skills, left with interest, regardless of what the two of them did in the room.

The next morning, when the news that Marshal Zhou Gongjin had infiltrated the enemy formation and destroyed it in Bailu Cave under the pseudonym Zhou Yu came out inadvertently, a group of rebel generals who learned about it cooperated with Yan Ning and broke into the door together, leaving only a blood-stained bed in the house, and a shaking window that had been open all night.

...... The people are gone.
