Chapter 8: The Killer Duo

After breakfast, Night Terror Hall did not continue to stay in Cangdong Town, and set off with the three girls and galloped towards Shuofeng City.

There are many people on the road, and the Night Terror Hall is not dressed as a mysterious Blue Dragon Club killer, but just an ordinary Jianghu ranger costume.

Although Hua Qingzhi took a brave step last night, two teammates came, so it was naturally difficult to continue to shrink into the arms of Night Terror, and she sat on Yunli's horse when she set off.

Hoof, hoof......

The three straddle horses were hurrying in the rain, and the night terror hall found the ice lump around them, and kept looking at the small clouds and glass wandering around in front of them, and asked curiously:

"What's wrong?"

Xue Baijin was dressed like an ordinary ranger, and the hat was worn very low to cover half of his face, and when he heard this, he retracted his mind and said calmly:

"When I first came out of the rivers and lakes, Ning'er was not good at martial arts, and I didn't have much spare money, so the two of them rode a horse and ran around......"

Night Terror Hall raised his eyes and looked, because Hua Qingzhi was more subtle, while Zhe Yunli was strong in martial arts, and the two of them rode together on a horse and galloped in the wilderness, which was really a bit like the combination of Ning Er and Bai Jin, and smiled at the moment:

"You were like this back then, Ning Erwen was quiet, you were lively and active and dragged her around?"

Xue Baijin remembered the past, and he also felt a little nostalgic in his heart:

"Ning'er likes to be chivalrous, but no one can beat her, she draws her sword to help when she sees injustice all day long, and then she is chased and killed, and I give her the aftermath every time.

Later, she got married in Nanxiao Mountain, and let her take Yunli with her, so she slowly became like a sect leader's wife, but she still didn't change the problem of the year, and she ran out with Yunli last year.

"I told her before to let her beware of the sinister rivers and lakes, but in the end, she was planted and picked up by you thief for ......"

Night Terror Hall was naturally not happy with this, and said seriously:

"Ning'er and I are in love, even if you and Ning'er went to the capital together, the final result would not be different."

When Xue Baijin heard this, he frowned and secretly deduced - if she and Ning Er secretly ran to the capital last year, and were coincidentally occupied by the Night Terror Hall, then the result was likely to be that she took the Night Terror Hall as an apprentice and promised to give Yunli as a husband.

And Ning'er, the teacher, gets along day and night to take care of the night terror, and the night terror hall is lustful, and she may fall in love for a long time, so she secretly carries her behind her back......

It really doesn't make that difference......

Xue Baijin blinked and turned his head:

"Are you justified in watching Ning'er's beauty? If I had been in front of me last year, would you have dared to be frivolous......"

"Then I estimate that I will have to be beaten a few times, but Ning'er is soft-hearted, and she will definitely protect me when she sees me being beaten......"

Xue Baijin frowned slightly, didn't talk about these boring topics anymore, and walked to the front lightly.

Hoof, hoof......

Three fast horses galloped across the field, and on the way, they could sometimes meet the Jianghu people who were rushing to Shuofeng City.

Although the snow field is smoky and miasma on weekdays, but now the leader of the martial arts league has a heroic banquet and invites the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and the face that the major gangs should give is still to be given, and the four of them did not encounter any conflicts on the road, even the road is very clean, basically 'the head does not fall to the ground, and the snow field is more beautiful. The hidden weapon must be recovered, and the harmonious scene of morality in the heart also confirms how strong the dominance of the northern cloud side is over the snow field.

At dusk, the three of them gradually came to the foot of Chong'a Mountain in the eastern part of the snowfield.

Chong'a Mountain is a large mountain range in the northeast of Beiliang, turn over to the east coast, and Shuofeng City is built on the mountain, originally hundreds of years ago, the Northern Dynasty anti-thieves built a city, want to use this as a stronghold, resist the encirclement and suppression of the Northern Dynasty.

However, the snow field was too bitter and cold, and the northern wilderness was a barren land, so there was no capital to divide one side at all, and in the end, it was self-defeating because of the food problem, and gradually evolved into an extralegal land ruled by the Jianghu people.

Night Terror Hall entered the city with the word "north" flag, and it can be seen that the streets are full of Jianghu people and merchants with swords and swords, and most of the things sold on the street are all kinds of medicinal materials dug up in Chong'a Mountain, as well as contraband, stolen goods, etc., which is a large black market.

Night Terror Hall walked along the street for a while, and even saw a vendor, hawking:

"Banned books in the north and south, secret and lonely, there is no store in this village, and I don't buy or charge money if I read it......"

Xue Baijin, who was walking beside him, as well as Yun Li and Qing Zhi, all looked a little strange when they heard the sound, and turned their eyes to the night terror hall next to them.

Night Terror had already stopped on the side of the street, looked at the bookstall under the eaves, and found the three girls looking over and coughing lightly:

"Just take a look, let's go, let's go."

Where would Zhe Yunli not understand the preferences of the Night Terror Hall, seeing this, he turned over and dismounted directly and came to the bookshelf:

"Shopkeeper, what books do you have here?"

"Yo, the woman just came to Shuofeng City, right? As long as you don't dare to sell it outside, I have it all, you can see ......"

"The Old Empress Dowager of Zhongsun Shengsanhui" and "The Mystery of Emperor Liang's Biological Father" ...... Oh my God, you dare to sell this?! ”

"Awesome, right? I still have the secret history of Wu Kui and Wu Sheng, and there are all the big devils of the Southern Dynasty Night, as long as they have a penny of silver, Tong Su will not be bullied......"

"It's all covered, I'll go back and think about it......"

"Heroine is heroic! I also have a secret copy of the "Shuofeng City General Record", the doorways of Shuofeng City and even the major factions in the snow field are clearly written, and you can get unimpeded in Shuofeng City if you hold it, and it is very popular recently, and there is only one left, only twenty taels of silver......"

"Twenty taels?! That's enough to kill a grandmaster......"

"Huh?"

"Just kidding, can you sell it for two dollars?"

"Deal ......"

……

Night Terror Hall rode on the horse and looked around, and was quite relieved to see that Xiao Yunli was so sensible. After waiting for a while, Zhe Yunli walked back with a large bag of books, and he smiled:

"I heard from the outside that the bear's paw in Shuofeng City is a famous dish, so let's find a place to have a meal."

"Tsk~!"

The bird immediately rose to his senses.

The three girls ran all the way, and they were already hungry, so naturally they had no objection to this, and they looked for a restaurant to eat bear's paws in the city.

Yun Li bought the "Shuofeng City General Record", not a pure pit money object, the content is quite detailed, there are the locations of the major factions, and even the places to eat, drink and have fun, and even the Qinglou Hook Column, there are girl reviews and detailed price codes, which is a very complete service and travel guide.

Relying on the guidance in the book, Night Terror Hall found a restaurant selling bear paws in the city not long after, because there were many outsiders who had come to Shuofeng City recently, and the business was still quite prosperous, and it took a long time to queue up to eat.

After eating and drinking, Night Terror Hall stayed at a nearby inn.

The hero's banquet is tomorrow night, although the city lord's mansion is in the city, but the night terror hall does not know the details and location of the north cloud side, the current work, or to collect intelligence in the city first, and by the way, take Yunli to experience.

On the way to the Night Terror Hall, he has been in contact with the Blue Dragon Society, knowing the location of the joint in Shuofeng City, and after packing up and dressing up, he set off with Yunli and started today's trip......

——

Time turned into night, behind an old blacksmith shop in the corner of the city.

Bite~

Bite~

The crisp sound of striking iron came from the old shop, and was covered by the sound of rain, and sometimes there were warriors in clothes and swords, carrying swords and soldiers from the blacksmith shop.

The Night Terror Hall took a brick and placed it in the aisle on the side of the blacksmith's shop, and then waited in the back alley, carefully reading the book he had just bought by the light of the fire from the back window of the shop.

Because he had to run errands at night, Night Terror put on a cyan cloak again, and the wheel sword hung from his waist, revealing only a pair of eyes.

And Zhi Yunli followed out as a teammate, naturally 'doing one line and loving one line', putting on the cloak prepared for Qingzhi, wearing a face towel on his face, and standing in front of him with a five-foot long knife in both hands, like a professional killer who does not smile.

But after waiting for a while, after not seeing the connector coming, Zhi Yunli still couldn't hold back and came to the Night Terror Hall:

"Amazing cousin, isn't it good-looking?"

Night Terror Hall looked light, and turned the book to a page:

"It's far worse than what Wu Shengxie wrote, but I can barely read it."

"Really? Let me see...... Huh~"

Zhi Yunli looked up as she spoke, and saw that there were illustrations in the book, the content was that men and women hugged each other and pouted, and quickly turned her head away, pondered slightly, and asked:

"Cousin, have you ever kissed the girl?"

“?”

Night Terror Hall blinked and looked at Xiao Yunli:

"Uh...... Say no, do you believe it? ”

"If you don't believe it, you must have kissed the queen, and Aunt Pei ......"

Zheyun Li swayed with the long knife, and said curiously:

"I see those storytellers who often talk about 'eating rouge' and stuff, how does that feel? Interesting, isn't it? ”

Night Terror Hall was a little funny: "Actually, I don't feel anything, you will know when you get married in the future." ”

"Hmph~"

Seeing that Night Terror Hall didn't say or ask, Zhe Yunli turned his gaze to the sword on Night Terror's waist, and dialed the wheel to pass the time.

Click~

After the two waited like this for nearly a quarter of an hour, there was finally movement in the alley, but the connector did not appear, but a small package, thrown directly from behind the fence, and landed in the alley in the distance.

Bang~

Zhe Yunli frowned, came to him with a long knife, picked up the package on the ground, looked left and right, and found that the person had already left, and was a little puzzled:

"He left without showing up?"

Night Terror Hall had actually never taken a photo before meeting Lao Liu in Pingyi City, and was accustomed to this kind of joint, so he took the package from Yun Li's hand:

"This is Shuofeng City, there are eyeliners from the North Cloud Side everywhere, it's good if you don't show up, just send the information."

As he spoke, Night Terror opened the package and looked through it, revealing that there were several pieces of paper inside, recording the contents of his last joint search, including:

Beiyunbian rarely shows up, and all the affairs of Shuofeng City are received by the second-in-command Fang Xinggu, and it is not clear whether Beiyunbian is in the City Lord's Mansion.

Yin Shicheng had arrived a few days ago, accompanied by officials from the Northern Liang, who had been living in the City Lord's Mansion and had never gone out.

Huo Zhiyun was focused on and had been living in Fengchen Building, but after the news of Yao Shangqing's violent death came, Huo Zhiyun should have been on guard and contacted the City Lord's Mansion in the afternoon.

Finally, there are two target customers of the Blue Dragon Society, because they know that he only kills those who should be killed, and the past evil deeds are written in detail on the back.

After a slight glance, Night Terror put away the paper, turned around and walked into the dark alley:

"Let's go."

Seeing this, Zhe Yunli hurriedly followed behind and asked:

"Who's going to clean up first?"

"Fengchen Building, Huo Zhiyun, is also an assassin, remember to be professional, don't be seen as a joke......"

"Oh......"

……

——

At the same time, the four of them settled in the inn.

Because there are too many people coming to Shuofeng City recently, the inn is almost full, and even the hall is full of people.

In the upstairs wing, the birds that have eaten the support of the birds, using the hat as a cradle, lie in it and sway, humming an unknown song:

"Gollum~......"

Hua Qingzhi was confused by the toss last night, and only now did she slowly recover, because the night terror hall went out, and staying in the inn was a little boring, so she naturally set her eyes on Xue Baijin.

After sitting in the room for a while, Hua Qingzhi secretly thought in her heart, got up with the table, slowly came to the next room, raised her hand and knocked.

Knock knock~

"Something?"

Squeak~

Hua Qingzhi pushed the door open lightly and looked inside.

The rooms of the inn were simply furnished, with candles lit on the table and a large pile of books next to them.

Xue Baijin was dressed in a white robe, sitting upright at the table at this time, holding a book in his hand and flipping through it, his eyes were serious and quiet, looking like the head of the family reviewing this year's account book.

Hua Qingzhi blinked, came to take a look, and found that Xue Baijin was reading "Shuofeng City General Record", and said with a smile:

"Miss Xue is still literate?"

“?”

Xue Baijin took a breath lightly, feeling that this little girl who was about the same age as Yunli was really a little undertidyed, she frowned and said:

"Can you still walk?"

Hua Qingzhi sat down next to her, holding her side face with her hands:

"Just kidding. I also wanted to open it last night, it was me who was wrong before, and I really can't complain about Miss Xue when she took me away from home. ”

Xue Baijin's eyes were full of surprise, but seeing that this girl understood the matter, he still bowed slightly:

"Just think it through......"

But unfortunately, before she finished speaking, she saw Miss Hua next to her and continued:

"Although I took medicine at the time, it was because I had thoughts about Yegongzi in my heart that I had such hallucinations. Miss Xue is the same as me, which means that there is also a night boy in my heart, and you and I will be sisters in the future......"

Xue Baijin frowned, and said seriously:

"I saw through the nature of the night terrors, and felt that his nature was unchangeable, and it was possible that he had thoughts about me, so he would have such hallucinations. I don't mean much to him, don't think about it. ”

Hua Qingzhi didn't believe it at all, but she didn't refute it, but said:

"Really? I have already entered the door of the night house, and whoever enters the door first, I have to call my sister, and then I have to treat it as a sister.

"If Miss Xue really has no intention of Ye Gongzi, I will naturally regard you as a senior from now on, and I should apologize for the previous misunderstanding.

"But in case in the future, Miss Xue is still the same as me, and when she enters the door of the Ye House, then I call you Sister Xue, it shouldn't be too much, right?"

After Hua Qingzhi finished speaking, she looked at Xue Baijin's eyes and waited for the other party's answer.

If Xue Baijin agrees with this statement, then Xue Baijin will enter the door in the future, and her sister will be decided.

And if she doesn't recognize it, it means that she has a ghost in her heart and is duplicitous, and the initiative is still on her side, which can be said to be invincible.

But it's a pity that Hua Qingzhi, a scholarly lady, still doesn't understand what it means to be a hegemon of the rivers and lakes.

Xue Baijin didn't think about this problem, but raised his left hand, clenched it into a fist, and stood it in front of Hua Qingzhi:

"What is this?"

Hua Qingzhi's heart tightened, and she blinked:

"Fist?"

Xue Baijin shook his head and said earnestly:

"It's status. There is nothing on the rivers and lakes that comes first and last, only 'the strong are respected'. No matter what my identity is, to you, I am a senior who cannot be offended, not only you, but also the female emperor and queen.

"It's just three things, if you mention these nonsense again, don't blame me for bullying the small and disrespecting the younger generations."

When Hua Qingzhi heard this, she sat up a little straighter:

"Miss Xue, are you going to be quite unreasonable? Huh?! ”

Knock knock~

Xue Baijin raised his hand and tapped Hua Qingzhi's chest twice, but before Hua Qingzhi could react, she fell soft and fell to the table.

Xue Baijin raised his hand to help Hua Qingzhi pick her up and throw her on the bed.

Hua Qingzhi was numb and unconscious, and she was naturally annoyed in her heart:

"You said you could just do it, right? Wait for the night boy to come back......"

Crash~

The curtain closed, losing all vision.

Xue Baijin returned to the table and sat down, picked up the book, and continued to read.

Hua Qingzhi had no power to resist, and when she saw that Xue Baijin ignored her, she spoke again:

"Do you mean anything about the Night Terrors, you know it in your heart, thinking that you can fool the past if you don't admit it?

"Do you like to admit it, it's your own business, big families, they all pay attention to the first come, first come, whether you recognize it or not, you have to call me sister in the future, you don't call it......

"Hello? If you don't speak, I'll take you by default......"

Angry and angry words kept coming out of the tent.

Xue Baijin's heart was like water, flipping through the book, as if he hadn't heard anything......

——

In the middle of the night, on the roof of the wind and dust building.

Dressed in a cloak, Night Terror Hall squatted on the ridge of the roof, listening intently to the movement below.

Zhe Yunli has a strange expression, his face is still a little red, and he is looking for traces of the target customer through the chaotic movements below:

"Hmm~ah-"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

……

As the name suggests, Fengchen Building is the occasion of the wind and moon in Shuofeng City, and there are many people who come here to be fierce rivers and lakes, and at night, the scene in the building is self-explanatory.

Zhe Yunli is just a little girl, where has she ever seen such a big scene, but seeing that her cousin's eyes were cold and serious, she didn't dare to be uneasy, and after listening for a while, she just asked:

"Shocking cousin, how do I feel that this voice is a little familiar, like last night...... Ouch~"

Night Terror Hall raised his hand and flicked it on Yun Li's head, signaling her to be serious, and then used the transcendent perception of the Myojin Diagram to carefully distinguish the words of everyone around her.

Huo Zhiyun, a place where top heroes can come for recreation, the grade is naturally not low, the scale of the Fengchen Building is quite large, the main building plus the buildings behind it, there are no less than 300 people, and there are more than 20 pairs of people who are doing things through the movement, and the others are drinking flower wine.

Night Terror Hall rarely faced such a big disturbance, but in the end, it caught a subtle movement from a courtyard in the back:

Step, step, step......

The sound of pacing back and forth.

There was only one person in the room, his breath was long, his steps were extremely slight, and he looked extremely martial arts.

In the information obtained by the Night Terror Hall, it was confirmed that Huo Zhiyun had settled in the Wind and Dust Building, and there were no martial artists above other grandmasters in the Qinglou, so he naturally determined that he would not leave ten at the moment, and raised his hand to signal the rear courtyard.

Seeing this, Zhe Yunli first tidied up his cloak, and then learned from his master, put on a cold appearance, and landed in the aisle with the Night Terror Hall, and walked towards the courtyard.

And at the same time, in the courtyard.

In the richly decorated room, there are no lights, the doors and windows are closed, and thin threads are tied to the windows and doors, and the hidden weapon mechanism on the roof is linked.

Huo Zhiyun, who was over fifty years old, dressed in a brocade robe and a saber hanging from his waist, paced back and forth on the carpet, occasionally glancing at the doors and windows to make sure there was nothing unusual outside.

Huo Zhiyun is different from Tian Wuliang and others, he is a lone wolf on the rivers and lakes, making a living by killing people and buying and selling, and his reputation is on par with that of the twelfth floor.

The conflict began two years ago, because the imperial court offered a reward for killing an official and a bandit, and many people were looking for it, but in the end, he collided with the Qinglong Society, and he was still a step late.

When ordinary assassins encounter this situation, they must make way for the Blue Dragon Society, but Huo Zhiyun holds his own martial arts and doesn't want to run in vain, so he even kills the people of the Blue Dragon Society.

Originally, it was already extinguished, and this matter would not be spread, but the Qinglong Club was too strong, and he spent a lot of money to open up the relationship with the imperial court.

Although Huo Zhiyun is not the opponent of the entire Blue Dragon Society, as a lone wolf, he has come and gone without a trace, and he is not afraid of anyone when he is singled out, and he does not take this matter seriously.

A few years have passed, and he thought that this matter had turned a page, but he never expected that when he was invited to Shuofeng City as a guest this time, a 'dragon king' appeared in Cangdong Town, and he killed Yao Shangqing with a sword.

Yao Shangqing is the overlord of the Sea Gang, and he has already stepped into the great grandmaster with half a foot, but he was killed by one move, he doesn't have to think about it to know that he can't beat it, if he encounters it, he will definitely not be able to get out of the snowfield.

But this time Shuofeng City set up a hero banquet, obviously preparing to recruit troops and buy horses, Beiyunbian has become a feudal official, with Huo Zhiyun's martial arts, he can take the opportunity to wash his hands and go ashore, not to mention that he can mix with an official in the future, if he escapes after hearing the wind, this future and even the reputation of the rivers and lakes accumulated for many years will be completely ruined.

For this reason, after Huo Zhiyun received the news from Cangdong Town, he hesitated again and again, but still contacted the City Lord's Mansion, wanting to ask Shuofeng City to be the intermediary to settle the matter peacefully.

At this time, Huo Zhiyun was pacing back and forth in the house, waiting for the deacon of the City Lord's Mansion to come over and discuss countermeasures.

In order to prevent the people from the City Lord's Mansion from not coming, the killers of the Blue Dragon Society arrived quickly, Huo Zhiyun had already set a trap in the room, and the knife was always by his side.

After pacing back and forth like this for a long time, the sound of footsteps finally sounded in the aisle outside:

Treading ......

Huo Zhiyun's heart moved, and he paused and looked at the door......
