Early the next morning, Shi Ziling came to Nanying early with a chain crossbow. Except for Shi Ziling, who was unwilling to live in the barracks because he was worried about the safety of the Yu family, most of the other generals and sergeants lived in the camp.

Shi Ziling inquired about the situation of the generals who went to Deyue Tower with him yesterday, except for Wu Guang, who was still a little painful because of the sprained joint by Xiahou Tong, everyone returned safely, and no one had an accident.

Shi Ziling relieved himself and sent a guard to Ma Yu's mansion to invite him over.

Ma Yu didn't expect that Shi Ziling would send someone to look for him early in the morning, and it was estimated that something must be something, so he hurried over.

After Shi Ziling welcomed Ma Yu into his lieutenant's exclusive barracks, he ordered the guards to wait outside to prevent others from entering, and then closed the door.

Ma Yu asked, "Ziling, I went to look for you when I was at the end of the banquet last night, and the brothers in your camp said that you went to see Su Xiaoxiao." Alas, we are all very envious! What's the matter? Did something happen last night when someone sent someone to find me so early in the morning?"

"Let me guess, you're not going to be a bow to the overlord of the little girl Su, ......are you? Just kidding, kidding. ”

Shi Ziling shook his head and said angrily: "You really know how to guess, forget it, don't talk about Su Xiaoxiao, I'll show you something." ”

As he spoke, Shi Ziling took out the chain crossbow he brought back last night and showed it to Ma Yu.

Ma Yu was taken aback when he saw it, and said: "It's the first time I've seen such a delicate and heavy chain crossbow, so it must be quite powerful." ”

Shi Ziling smiled bitterly: "The power is indeed not small, it almost killed me last night." ”

Ma Yu was shocked and hurriedly asked the reason. Shi Ziling told Ma Yu about the ambush and plot by the killer last night.

After hearing this, Ma Yu pondered for a long time and asked, "According to what you said, except for the eight crossbow archers last night, the other three were all masters. Those who can be called masters by you must not be unknown, can you tell me about their martial arts paths?"

Shi Ziling shook his head and said: "You know that I can't tell you why the martial arts of the various sects are coming, but the momentum of those two long knife hands is quite fierce, and there is a ruthlessness that is not afraid of death. Judging from their knife skills, the number of ways I usually see some people who use knives is completely different, and it is obviously much more concise and ruthless. I felt that the strength of these two people was not below Tang Yifei. ”

Ma Yu asked in surprise: "You mean that each of the two of them is as powerful as Tang Yifei?"

Shi Ziling nodded and said, "That's true. To be honest, if it weren't for the flying needle released by the masked swordsman who appeared at the end of the day and killed the two long swordsmen by mistake, with the strength of the three of them, plus some crossbow archers using this kind of chain crossbow combination, I am not sure that I would have been able to escape with all my might. ”

"Flying needles, what kind of flying needles?" Ma Yu asked.

Shi Ziling roughly described the flying needle he saw, and Ma Yu exclaimed: "Being able to shoot such powerful two long knife hands into a honeycomb in the blink of an eye, could it be the famous dark killer 'Shadowless Rainstorm Needle'?"

"Shadowless Rainstorm Needle"?

Shi Ziling repeated the name and said, "It sounds quite similar, I was able to avoid it purely by feeling, if I waited until I found out that he sent a flying needle and then tried to dodge, there was a chance that it would be too late." ”

"That prickly rain was really silent and violent, and I still have palpitations when I think about it. If the killer had given me such a pinch of needles when I was jumping in mid-air, I wouldn't have been able to talk to you here today. ”

Ma Yu smiled and said: "You are too worried about this, the 'Shadowless Rainstorm Needle' is extremely rare and rare, and it can only send one cylinder of needles at a time, and it is useless to use up the needle once." If you can shoot a few shots casually, it won't be the most powerful weapon in the legendary 'Dark Path'. ”

"As far as I know, there are only about five Shadowless Rainstorm Needles in the world, and two have been used, and if you add the one you dealt with yesterday, then it's the third one. There are still two left, I don't know where the Lu Dao will be, you must know that the major families of the Lu Dao are very interested in this thing, as long as someone sells it, no matter how high the price is, someone will want it. ”

"I see, I knew that this guy only had a needle in his hand, and I should have taken him down at that time. By the way, what do you mean by 'Dark Path'? Shi Ziling asked.

"The 'Dark Path' is a sect composed of a group of mysterious killer assassins, rumored to be a branch that split off after the collapse of the original Demon Cult, and its leader has always ranked in the top five of the top 100 lists, but no one has ever seen him, and even does not know his name, and the outside world only calls him the 'King of Darkness'. ”

"The two long swordsmen you said have a strange number of paths, I wonder if Lu Dao is also a killer in the 'Dark Path'. ”

Ma Yu sighed: "Ziling, Chen Gongzhao really paid for your life this time, don't say that priceless 'Shadowless Rainstorm Needle', it is this kind of chain crossbow, each of which is probably worth ten thousand gold." But then again, he's hired so many powerful killers to deal with you, even using the 'Shadowless Rainstorm Needle', and you're still unscathed, you're such a monster!"

Shi Ziling ignored Ma Yu's ridicule and asked, "Are you so sure that these killers must have been invited by Chen Gongzhao?"

Ma Yu stretched out the folding fan in his hand and said confidently: "I'm a genius of ingenuity! Do you think, as soon as the masked swordsman you mentioned escaped, before you could catch up, the cavalry of the Auxiliary Defense Army arrived, how could it be so coincidental? Besides, Xu Sihai, the staff general of the Auxiliary Defense Army, has always been a close confidant of Chen Gongzhao, but you don't know what to do. ”

"Obviously, Xu Sihai is responding to those killers. If you're hurt, he'll come and stealthily make up for it, and if you're okay, he'll help the killers escape. If you want him to help you find clues about the killer, that's a fool's dream!"

"I think Xu Sihai will definitely make a mess of the traces of the scene, and those dead bodies will definitely be hastily buried by him in some name, and all evidence of identity on the dead bodies will also be annihilated. ”

"You left two chain crossbows behind, but they didn't help. There is no evidence, only two chain crossbows, and we are helpless to take Chen Gongzhao. ”

Shi Ziling nodded and said, "Actually, I also felt that the timing of Xu Sihai's appearance was a little strange last night, but there is no way to do it." Chen Gongzhao has an enmity with me, and I expected it in my heart to want to deal with me, but he is the garrison of Songhu City, and he is second only to the city guard in terms of official position, and I can't do anything about him. ”

"I'm just worried about whether it will affect the people of the Yu family. I brought the chain crossbow to you, firstly, to see if I could help me find some clues, and secondly, I also felt that if this thing could be successfully imitated, it would be a very good weapon to defend the Yu family. What do you say?"

Ma Yu sighed: "This kind of chain crossbow must be a special weapon used by the killers of the 'Dark Way' to assassinate important people. Its design is exquisite, the materials used are quite elaborate and unique, and even its crossbow arrows are specially made, which may be difficult to imitate. ”

"Even if it is barely copied, the power will definitely be greatly reduced. Imitations are okay against ordinary people, but it's definitely useless to deal with masters, it's good that you can get two real things, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy this thing. ”

Shi Ziling regretted a little that he didn't take a few more handfuls of it yesterday, and asked, "Since it is so precious, can you take back a few handfuls from Xu Sihai?"

Ma Yu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is difficult." Xu Sihai is Chen Gongzhao's person, and since the chain crossbow has fallen into his hands, he must have returned to Chen's house after the worst death. Alas, I can't imagine that the Chen family's financial resources are also so abundant, and he was able to contact the killer of the 'Dark Way' to deal with you soon after Chen Zhongda's death, which shows that his connections are also quite extensive, it seems that we have always underestimated Chen Gongzhao. ”
