Chapter 244: Assassination
Lu Jin has plenty of time and doesn't need to hurry, so he stops and stops to enjoy the scenery along the way.
On this day, I came to a small town, and the town was not large, and there were less than 100 households.
Lu Jin inquired with the old man and grandmother of the inn about the road ahead, and learned that the surrounding area was deserted for hundreds of miles, so he stayed and waited until tomorrow morning.
The rooms are all adobe houses, and the conditions are simple, because this family has no choice, so they have to settle.
She didn't know that Gu Shengchao and Shui Linglong had met here when they went to Yunzhou, and the two stayed in a room for one night.
After settling down, seeing that it was still early and the small room was not suitable for practicing, Lu Jin walked out of the town and came to a small forest outside.
Every big tree in the woods is like a giant standing there, and it is most suitable to practice Lu Chuan's "illusion technique".
Lu Jin was practicing and shuttling freely in the woods, when she suddenly heard horses galloping on the official road, so she stopped behind a tree, and hid with the stealth technique taught to Hongji, only to wait for the people to continue practicing.
Curious, she peeked out through the dense bushes.
The horse in front of him may have been too tired, and suddenly the horse stumbled and fell, and the man at the moment was quick-witted, jumped into the air, and after landing on the ground, ran forward a few steps and stopped.
"Senior sister, don't force me, I've put up with you for a long time in front of my fellow disciples." The man held a scimitar in each hand, staring viciously at the man behind him.
"Phew!" The man who was chasing after him stopped.
Lu Jin couldn't help but wonder when he saw the two, why did they come here?
These two Lu Jin knew each other, and the one who fell in front was He Qiaocong, the Canglong Protector of the Dark Moon Hall, and the one who chased after him was Gan Rongrong, the Immortal Mouse Protector of the Dark Moon Hall.
On the way back to the capital from Yunzhou to eliminate pirates, Lu Jin saw the two of them and had some impressions.
These two are sisters in the same family, shouldn't they fight each other with weapons?
Lu Jin was surprised.
Gan Rongrong, who was chasing after her, saw He Qiaocong's extremely vicious appearance, jumped off the horse and said kindly: "Before leaving, the head ordered me to temporarily act as the agent of all the affairs of the Dark Moon Hall, you don't listen to the dissuasion to take on private work behind your back, and in the end it is the reputation of our Dark Moon Hall that will be damaged, I hope that the senior sister will handle it carefully."
"Hmph." He Qiaocong pursed his lips disdainfully: "What our Dark Moon Hall is doing is killing people and overselling goods, and whoever gives more money will die for whomever he wants. I don't take the initiative to take over the business, what the huge Dark Moon Hall eats and drinks, do you want to drink the northwest wind?"
Gan Rongrong sighed and said, "I've had enough of the days of swords and swords, since the head is not here, why don't we try to change it?"
"Say, how do you change?" He Qiaocong said coldly, with a condescending attitude.
Gan Rongrong said softly, "This requires us sisters to work together and do it together. Although the reputation of Dark Moon Hall in the rivers and lakes is not good, but the strength is there, if we run the dart game, the friends on the rivers and lakes will eventually give face, so that everyone has no problem worrying about food and clothing."
"Whoever of you likes to do it, I won't agree anyway." He Qiaocong's dead pig's attitude of not being afraid of boiling water made it clear that he wanted to go against Gan Rongrong.
Gan Rongrong said helplessly: "There is a debtor and a debtor, and the hatred between the two sects of poison and witches naturally has to be solved by themselves, and we outsiders can't participate in it, and I will ruin the business you take."
"You dare, I'll tell you Gan Rongrong, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you're a senior sister. When the head of the house comes back, I will report to her old man and expose your cowardly behavior of stealing your life." He Qiaocong didn't take this senior sister in his eyes at all.
Gan Rongrong couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and said sharply, "Are you going back with me?"
"Don't go, I've already taken this list, what can you do with me?" He Qiaocong didn't eat soft and hard.
Gan Rongrong flipped her hands, and two small scimitars appeared in the palms of her left and right hands at the same time, she took two steps forward, and the scimitars slashed towards He Qiaocong.
He Qiaocong was not ambiguous, raised his knife to parry, and kicked the opponent's lower abdomen, and Gan Rongrong twisted slightly to easily dodge.
The two have been in the same door for many years, and they are very familiar with their respective moves, and no one can take advantage of you coming and going.
In the stalemate, He Qiaocong gradually moved in the direction of the grove, and Gan Rongrong wanted to capture her alive, so she naturally followed.
The authorities were obsessed with bystanders, and Lu Jin saw clearly that He Qiaocong observed the position of the horse many times, presumably to snatch Gan Rongrong's mount.
Sure enough, He Qiaocong jumped over with a false knife, and at the same time threw out more than a dozen scimitars and shot at Gan Rongrong.
Gan Rongrong hurriedly took all the scimitars, and He Qiaocong had already ridden her horse away.
The horse left by He Qiaocong can barely ride, but he can only pace slowly, and if he wants to chase it, he can't.
Gan Rongrong sighed helplessly and sat alone under the tree sullenly.
After a long time, she summoned the sword of Qiu Huang to play with in her hand, and said to herself: "Brother Shengchao, are you still in the capital, do you know that in this world, there is such a woman who doesn't think about you for tea, and looks forward to you thinking of you, have you ever thought of her?"
She smiled bitterly and said quietly, "It shouldn't be, the capital flower world, I guess I have forgotten about it a long time ago." But no matter what, you will always be in my heart."
Lu Jin was amused when he heard it, he had long heard that Dark Moon Hall was all outlaws who regarded life as child's play, and it turned out that there was such an infatuation.
Sitting alone until dusk, Gan Rongrong rode the tired horse back slowly.
Lu Jin returned to the guest room and ate some dry food that she brought with her, and the more she thought about it on the bed, the more scared she became, He Qiaocong intervened in the entanglement between the two sects of poison and witches, she must have assassinated someone.
The Wu Sect is above board, and it is unlikely that he will hire a murderer, that is, the Poison Sect will hire the Dark Moon Hall to kill people.
Who are they going to kill?
Thinking of this, Lu Jin couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he simply came outside and rode in the direction of the Chaowu Sect.
After a night's journey, people were sleepy and tired.
When he came to a restaurant, Lu Jin ordered wine and meat, asked the men to serve the horses, and instructed them to prepare fine feed to feed the horses.
The guy stared at Lu Jin: "Fine feed is not cheap, do you need to call your adults to come over to discuss?"
Lu Jin took out a piece of silver and threw it on the table: "Is this enough?"
"Enough, enough." The man took the silver and smiled and left.
When Lu Jin came to the stable, the guy was taking care of the horses carefully, and combing the horses with a comb while the horses were eating.
After resting for a while, Lu Jin rode back on the road.
She did not dare to stop, and came to a town before dusk, and the mount was panting and could not run.
Lu Jin inquired and came to a place that sold horses, and made up some silver in exchange for a tall horse, and she rode on it and continued to hurry.
After staying awake all night, at the height of the sun, Lu Jin finally came to Qingfeng Valley.
Wuzong has been here, but she asked everywhere but did not see the whereabouts of Baili Huan and Xiang Hongji, and inquired in many ways, and finally knew that today was the day when Baili Huan sat for a consultation, and they were sitting in a place called "Jifu Medical Hall" in the city.
Lu Jin found the medical hall, and there was a long queue outside, all of which were patients who came to consult.
"Little girl, line up outside first, you can't just enter inside." Someone stopped her.
Lu Jin said anxiously: "I am the sister-in-law of Brother Bailihuan, I have something urgent to tell him, just one sentence, I will leave after speaking, and I will not delay his medical treatment."
The man saw that Lu Jin didn't look like he was lying, so he let her in.
Coming to the medical hall, Xiang Hongji was boiling medicinal herbs on the side, and Baili Huan was ready to give a pulse to one person.
The person who asked for the consultation was He Qiaocong.
Lu Jin was shocked, pointed at He Qiaocong and said loudly, "Big brother be careful, she is the killer of the Dark Moon Hall."
Baili Huan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously withdrew the hand that was about to call the pulse.
At the same time, He Qiaocong was about to let the trumpet's hand retract, and the sharp nails slashed across Bai Lihuan's skin, almost cutting his skin.
The powdered medicine hidden between He Qiaocong's fingernails also spilled onto the table.
The assassination of the Dark Moon Hall never dragged mud and water, and when one blow missed, He Qiaocong threw two flying knives at Lu Jin, trying to escape from the road.
Lu Jin has been
Summoning a round shield to block the flying knife, the scimitar in his hand can respond at any time.
In an instant, He Qiaocong changed his mind.
She threw three scimitars at Xiang Honghime, who was cooking medicine, and jumped up to break out of the back wall.
He Qiaocong made a lot of calculations, but he undercounted the abilities of these people in the house.
The flying tiger claw in Xiang Hongji's hand has been revealed, the flying tiger claw in the left hand stopped the scimitar, and the flying tiger claw in the right hand stretched out, stabbing He Qiaocong's calf impartially.
"Ahh
He Qiaocong's hand had already touched the window paper, and he fell from the air with a scream.
Bai Lihuan took a few steps forward and clicked on He Qiaocong's acupuncture points, making her unable to move.
Lu Jin had been on the night road for two days, and she was already exhausted, and at this time, the danger was lifted, she couldn't hold on anymore, and she was about to fall down against the wall.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Hongji stepped forward and hugged her.
Lu Jin smiled bitterly: "Sister, I'm just sleepy and want to sleep."
After saying that, Lu Jin fell asleep in Xiang Hongji's arms.
