Chapter 128: Murderous Intimidation
Qiu Kun and the others looked at each other, and they all saw the horror in each other's eyes.
They weren't all the way, they were summoned by the family to gather together to do a mission, and they didn't have any feelings for each other, so when Sun Sanniang died, Qiu Kun was only angered by her tragic death, and he was not sad or resentful. But now there are people who kill two people silently under their noses, and they don't even see each other's shadows, which makes them not palpitate.
"Mo is not the Xuan-rank assassin of the Falling Star Pavilion", Qiu Kun swallowed his saliva, and with his unafraid temperament, he was also shocked by the killer's methods, and the other party simply did everything. The other three also gathered around him, guarding the surroundings with him.
Hu Laoqi sighed: "Isn't this mission to catch a child? Why did you first provoke a top master, and then pop up such a terrifying killer, who can tell me what the hell is going on?"
"It's not a good place to stay long, we should get out of here first. The swordsman still gave the most effective advice with a cold face.
The other three were all on guard, and left the area in a hurry.
"Don't you even want the corpse of your own leader?"
When their figures completely disappeared on the official road, the corpse of the dead boy was thrown up suddenly, and Chen An sat up from a pile of horse corpses, he had been hiding under this corpse just now, ready to take one more away when they came to clean up, but he overestimated the cohesion of this team.
However, he can't be blamed for the mistake of this bit of information, the four inner courts are perfect, and he doesn't dare to approach at all, so he can only rely on his lips and his behavior to observe and judge. And this is not the Great Zhou, the dialects are different, and Chen An can't understand them all, so there are naturally errors.
Looking at the direction they left, Chen An couldn't help muttering to himself: "Even fleeing for their lives is to the west, what is there in the west that attracts them, their task is obviously to take away Xiaoguang, isn't Xiaoguang in the west." ”
Chen An rubbed his eyebrows and relieved his exhaustion, in fact, he was even more tired than them, he had been falling on each other for the past few days, and he had just designed to kill two of them, and he didn't know how much he was spending. His inner court is complete, and his physical exhaustion can be relieved by qi collection, but mental exhaustion is not so easy to recover.
But he didn't have time to rest, and there was still a lot of work for him to do.
He first searched the young man's body, and found some pieces of silver and a letterhead.
The scattered silver was put aside, he first observed the letter, there was a lacquer seal with a special coat of arms on the envelope, Chen An didn't care, and tore it directly, there was only a short sentence on it: "It has arrived at Shurong Yuanfeng, please help quickly." ”
This should be a message that has not been delivered yet, but it is clueless, so Chen An has no way to guess. After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, he spliced the torn lacquer seal back together, remembering the coat of arms carefully, and then he crumpled the letter into powder with his hand.
Turning around and walking behind the boulder, he saw Sun Sanniang's body.
The boy was killed because he was the leader, and because he was a dead soldier, he didn't want to get any information from him. So Chen An was the first to decisively sentence him to death.
And the only woman in the team was killed because she was easier to kill. In the whole team, she is just a woman, it is inconvenient to do anything, and she often acts alone, which gives Chen An the opportunity to start. It's just a little troublesome that she has a soft yoga skill, and her whole body is weak, even if Chen An is confident that her martial arts are higher than her, she can't easily take her, so she uses such a method. The saddest thing about her is that she needs to squat to go to the toilet, Chen An wants to use this method to kill Qiu Kun, who is practicing kung fu first, but unfortunately this method is useless to deal with men.
In fact, the most terrible thing about walking the rivers and lakes are the elderly, children and women, and if this woman is solved first, most of the unstable factors can be eliminated, which is not bad.
He squatted down and searched Sun Sanniang's corpse, except for some scattered silver and some women's things, there were no valuable clues. Chen An was not depressed, these people were just some people who were the precursors of the king, and he was just hoping for what happened.
Now it seems that he has to follow, Chen An turned his head and looked in the direction where the four of them left.
......
Three days later, Qiu Kun sat on a small hill at the junction of Yunzhou and Shurong with the No. 2 big man and the No. 3 swordsman, each biting a beast's leg, and the three of them all looked like they had deep eyes and gray complexions.
Hu Laoqi also died, he was poisoned. They didn't even see the enemy, and the man was broken in half, which was simply the most powerless thing that had ever happened to them in their lives.
During these three days they did not dare to sit for fear of when a wooden thorn would be inserted into the bar, they did not dare to eat, they did not dare to be poisoned by an unknown poison, and they did not even dare to separate, for fear of being broken by the enemy. Now that I finally found such a small hill full of stones and not afraid of being ambushed, I can finally sit down boldly and rest for a while.
After that, they caught a fawn, and they didn't wash it with water, but roasted it and ate it directly, never giving each other any chance to poison it.
Chen An in the distance was still watching them like a ghost, and he was not observing with the corner of his eye, but directly with his gaze. I used to be afraid that they would find out, but now I am afraid that they won't find out. Put pressure on the prey all the time, they will be afraid, and if they are afraid, they will make mistakes, and if they make mistakes, they will be able to create opportunities for their own hands.
After Chen An's only Ten Thousand Poisonous Heart Pill was given to Hu Laoqi, he never waited for the third chance to make a move. It's not that he doesn't want to poison them to death in one fell swoop, but first, he has limited poison on his body, and he is living a peaceful life, who has nothing to do to make poison all day long, and this is still a whim of that day; second, to deal with the masters of the Great Perfection of the Inner Court, the poison is useless. Their internal organs are strong, their rejection is powerful, and they can't be killed by any poison at all. As for the strong corrosive poison, it is estimated that it will be seen through before it is launched, and the smell and discoloration, can others be fools.
Just like Lu Chengjun back then, Chen An fed him medicine for a year before feeding him to death, will these three people obediently let themselves be fed for a year?
He pulled out a piece of jerky from his pocket and put it in his mouth to chew, a salty taste filled his mouth, almost disgusting, but he swallowed it alive. I felt the fullness in my stomach and breathed a gentle sigh of relief.
He had a harder life these days than Qiu Kun and them, first of all, he didn't dare to light a fire, because he was monitoring at such a close distance, and once he lit a fire, it would be easy to be discovered. If it is far away, maybe the three frightened birds will not know where to flee after a meal. Therefore, he can only use these air-dried raw dried meat to satisfy his hunger every day, so as to maintain the peak of his physical strength. Secondly, even when he was sleeping, he was always paying attention to the other party's movements, and he couldn't really rest at all, so now it was up to him to see which side couldn't hold it first.
However, Chen An still has a great advantage, because the enemy is clear and I am secret, and the initiative is in his hands.
After the three of them were full, they were speechless to each other, and the feeling of being watched was like maggots on tarsal bones, which could not be removed. They also knew in their hearts that this was the other party's tired plan, but what could they do, wouldn't they be on guard and wait for death? Fortunately, there were three of them who could take turns to rest, and the other party seemed to have only one.
They also saw that the other party was not targeting any of them, but for their mission, so there was no bloody incident of complaining about infighting, but they could sit together and think of countermeasures.
"Tuzi, what do you think?" Qiu Kun glanced at No. 2 first, this thing had the least words along the way, and he didn't expect the other party to give any good advice, but subconsciously wanted to find something that could give him confidence.
No. 2 said, "Give up?"
"" Qiu Kun scolded in his heart, he really couldn't count on this product.
Give up, give up what, give up the task?
Yes, the killer is here for the mission, as long as he and the others give up the mission and turn their faces and leave, they will all be happy. But can I give up, the lord's orders dare to disobey and take the way to death.
The few people who were on the mission together this time were all special envoys of the main family in charge of liaison, and they did not know in advance and did not know each other. But Qiu Kun is doing business without capital, he has a wide range of people, he is familiar with everyone, and he can generally know the origin. Planing off the envoy of the main family, the remaining five people, needless to say, the two dead ghosts, the butcher next to him is surnamed Tu Mingkui, he was a pig killer in his early years, and somehow he walked the shit and got a martial arts cheats, and he was really trained out of Mingtang, mixed with the nickname of an elite hand, and broke out of the house to start a business without a book, and was a famous one-legged thief on the Shuobei Trade Road.
And although the identity of the swordsman is mysterious and he has never seen it, Qiu Kun still has a little guess, just looking at him always unconsciously touching his ribs, it reminds him of the bandit who often wanders on the border grassland, known as Sun Er, the Tibetan swordsman who is faster than the first knife.
These two brothers are all one person who eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, but they still have hundreds of people to raise, disobeying the main family, the two of them can pat their butts and leave, and they open a mountain and set up a cabinet in Xiaowu Mountain, and the monk can't run the temple.
No, we can't let them think of running away. He glanced at the swordsman carefully, coughed, and pretended to be irritated: "Give up? How is it possible, you don't know the methods of the master's family, and when the time comes, the torture that is more terrible than death is the real survival and death." ”
A hint of horror appeared on the faces of the butcher and the swordsman, and Qiu Kun caught this just right, deeply satisfied with the means by which he used the majesty of the master's house to temporarily deter them. It's just that I have to think of a countermeasure, the main family's deterrence is only for a while, and it is not a way to go on like this, even if it is not killed by the other party in the end, my side will collapse first.
The three of them sat opposite each other, and in the end they didn't have a clue, so they could only decide to go west and take the city in Yunzhou, hoping that the other party would have some scruples. Xuanwang Diheng has little communication with the main family, so he will not interfere in the main family's rivalry, and if he can't help himself and others, he shouldn't be stumbling.
After the discussion, the three of them seized all the time to rest, and tried to rush to Qinsai, the border city of Yunzhou and Shurong, in one go.
It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
A dark shadow spun out of the campfire, pressed the hat, and went down the hill by feeling the stones.
The sky is dark, I can't see the road clearly, the wind and sand on this bare hill are big, and the rocks are piled up wantonly, there is not even a decent mountain road, if you change to ordinary people, hurry up and hurry, you have to fall to death. But this person walked like a fly, like walking on the ground, showing a good kung fu.
As soon as he reached a col, he stood vigilantly and whispered to the darkness beside him, "Who?"
"You want to escape?"
A huge figure faintly sketched out in front of him and asked.
The man seemed to know who was chasing him, and asked with a sneer: "Don't you run? Can't you wait for death here?" I took the money, but I didn't think about selling my life. ”
The huge figure didn't dwell on this, but just asked: "It's normal for you to have the intention of escaping, but why didn't you say it when you discussed it just now, but now you have to go alone?"
"Hey" the man just sneered and didn't answer.
The huge figure seemed to understand something, and said angrily, "You want us to help you attract attention?"
He didn't wait for an answer, but he was even more convinced, and shouted angrily: "Dream." ”
These two words spit out, already with a chill, and at the same time, he threw out a big hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Give me back." ”
"Hmph, it's up to you? You're dreaming. The man replied disdainfully, put on the shelf, and was about to take the opponent's move, but as soon as he made contact with the other party, he seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and his tone turned to exclaim in horror: "No, no, you, you're not...... Ahh
A scream had just been issued, but it seemed to be pinched by the neck, and it stopped abruptly, and it did not come far at all in the night when the wind was howling.
Chen An took off his disguise, looked at the corpse on the ground, and said indifferently: "You found out too late, as a punishment for not guessing the truth in time, borrow your cheek." ”
