Chapter 140: The Ghost of the Night
After the battle was deployed in the hall of the Academy, it was getting late and everyone left.
The evening breeze gradually blackened the earth like an ink pen, and the time came to night.
In the territory of Dao County, on the bustling East Street, although a courtyard is also in the night like ink, the bright lights still make this courtyard as day at night.
The courtyard is very wide, the building is even more majestic and majestic, a courtyard path is dark and bright under the twinkling lights, and suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps resounds on the courtyard path.
After a while, two burly men with hurried expressions walked into the courtyard from outside the courtyard, and at that time they heard the two of them ask: "Young Master Zhu is here, we are found by Young Master Zhu!"
Then the door opened outside the courtyard, and then two big men led by a man dressed like a domestic servant walked up the dark and bright path.
Through the flashing lights, the appearance of the two big men was not very clear, and the only thing that could be felt vaguely was their indifference and danger, and the murderous aura on their faces.
The servant took them to a side room on the east side of the courtyard, and after making a report to the side room, he slowly withdrew.
This is a slightly remote house in the courtyard, and because it is remote, it seems unusually quiet at the moment.
The light in the side room was on, and when the servant of the report left, an invitation came from the house, meaning to let the two big men from outside enter the side room.
There was no bolt on the door of the side room, and the two big men did not report or knock on the door, they pushed the door open with their hands, and the two crossed the threshold into the side room, and then closed the door again.
The courtyard outside the side room is in the inky night, relying on the lights to protect a little light in the night wind, and the whole courtyard is only quiet and frightened in the night of ink.
At the main entrance of the courtyard, an obese woman with a clear face heard the door open and asked the servant who had just taken two big men to the side room.
"It's so late, who is entering the house!"
The servant seemed to know the origin of the two big men and the relationship between the big man and the mansion, so he said with a very calm face: "Madam, it's a friend of the young master!"
The fat woman, who couldn't see her face clearly, heard the answer of the domestic servant, and then didn't ask anything more, turned around and walked towards the main room.
On the east side of the courtyard, after the two big men entered the room, they didn't see the faces of the people in the room, because the people in the room were facing away from them, and the only thing that made them pay attention was the two burning red candles on the table, and a burden on the table.
Looking at them, it seems that they have never known each other.
One of the two brute men was silent for a moment and said, "Are you the employer who asked us to kill someone?"
The words of the barbarian man fell for a long time, and finally heard the response of the person in the partial room.
Although the response was extremely calm and composed, it could not hide a childish guttural voice.
"You're the messengers of hell! There's a baggage on the table that contains your reward and details of the opponents you're going to kill!"
After the immature voice, the brute man who did not speak slowly approached the table, and cautiously opened the wrapped baggage, which was filled with a pile of things that looked like medicinal herbs, and a white Dan bottle, and a note was placed next to the Dan bottle.
The big man who didn't speak and the big man who didn't move made a look at each other and signaled that everything was normal.
The brute-headed man who spoke said in a loud voice: "The young master is really bold, knowing that what we need is not gold and silver treasures, we promise the young master that we will never let the person the young master wants to kill live until dawn tomorrow!"
"That's very good, you go, tomorrow I'll wait for your good news!"
After the people in the side room finished speaking, the two brute men picked up their baggage, withdrew from the house, and walked up the courtyard path that was dark and bright again, and left the majestic courtyard.
At this moment, in the side room, it seems that through the burning candlelight, you can feel the insidiousness and unpredictability in the hearts of the people in the side room in that back, just like the inky earth outside the house, the earth has begun to become unpredictable in the long night.
In the land of Daoxian County, a small thatched hut located in the middle of nowhere, an oil lamp was slightly lit, and a young man was sitting in front of the oil lamp intently, he opened the window in the house, and read carefully with a book in his hand.
This hut is Qin Sheng's residence, the Qin family, and sitting in front of the oil lamp in it is Qin Sheng, who has just returned from the Daoxian Academy.
He held in his hand the book he was reading silently, which Jiang Cheng, the head of the Academy of Letters, had given him when he was leaving, and had instructed him before he left that he must familiarize himself with this book before tomorrow.
The book Qin Sheng was holding in his hand was not a poem or a song, it was a history book, a history that recorded the history of Shengyuan since its inception.
"Poetry! Poetry! There really is a poetry!"
Qin Sheng, who was concentrating on reading this book, seemed to have seen something in the book that could resonate with himself, and he was extremely excited and happy.
It turned out that what made Qin Sheng full of joy was the poetry array recorded in the book.
In the fifth year of Shengyuan, there was a demon clan besieging the city in the water, and the killing was vicious, so someone in Shengyuan Dao County used the poetry and literary atmosphere to create their own poetry array, which was already fighting against the demon clan, and when the poetry array was finished, everything was ready and only one commander on the literary position was owed, so that the words in the poetry array could be drawn out, and the excellent warrior resisted the demon clan.
But when the poetry array was used, the people who set up the formation had no talent and no literary temperament on the spot, and did not make a big battle poem, so they could not summon the warrior elves in Wenshan to create this array, and ended up dying halfway, and even let the demon army break through the city, at the same time, at the moment when the human race died young, King Wen of Zhou would kill the demon clan with "Zhou Yi", and only after the defeat of King Wen of Zhou, the most holy Confucius would appear, and he would kill the endless demon spirits and defend the sacred territory of the human race.
After reading this, Qin Sheng was not only glad that the five-word poetry array he said had a history to follow, but also worried, he was worried that he had set up the five-word poetry array, and then he would repeat the mistakes of the fifth year of the Shengyuan, if he really couldn't summon the Wen Ling on the Wen Mountain with poetry, then the five-word poetry array would be an empty shell, without a trace of combat ability at all.
If this is the case, once the five-word poetry array is broken, then it means that the important land occupied by the human race will be surrendered to the demon clan, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Qin Sheng looked up to the sky and sighed, once again feeling the importance of his mission, and at this moment, two black shadows swished from outside the Qin family's house and entered the wall, and at this time they arrived in the courtyard of the Qin family.
The two big men groped their way forward in the night, and the faint light flashed a thick murderous aura on their faces.
