Xia Zhician returned to the old store of the Dong family.

As soon as I entered the inn, I saw Mr. Huang's dart head and a woman dressed as a man on a table in the corner of the lobby with lunch.

As soon as Mr. Huang saw Xia Zhician coming in, his eyes immediately lit up, and he stood up and clasped his fists with both hands to salute.

"Summer ...... Son. ”

As soon as he spoke, he originally planned to call Xia Shi. But in retrospect, Xia Zhician didn't admit that he was a Heavenly Master last night, so he didn't have a good name, so he could only change his name bluntly.

The men and women who were dining at the same table on the side didn't care, but when she heard her third uncle's very polite address, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at Xia Zhicicada a few more times.

It looks okay, but the clothes on his body are really weird. Dressed so fancyly on the rivers and lakes, they are generally either flower thieves or mysterious charlatans.

Cut –

The woman was secretly speechless, wondering if her uncle had taken the wrong medicine and was polite to such a person.

"Mr. Huang's dart head ......"

Since people said hello, Xia Zhician couldn't pretend not to hear it, so he could only come over and politely return the salute.

"Thank you for your guidance, those brothers of mine have drunk the decoction and are already much better. Looks like tomorrow will be fine. ”

Mr. Huang smiled, but he didn't hide it at all and told Xia Zhician about the situation. Of course, he was not afraid that Xia Zhician would have bad intentions towards them, but he knew in his heart that if Xia Zhician had evil intentions, then they could be said to have no power to fight back.

"I'm afraid I can't wait for tomorrow......"

Xia Zhician shook his head, of course, he didn't mean to sell Guan Zi on purpose, so he didn't wait for Mr. Huang to ask, and continued to say to himself:

"I'm afraid tonight will be even more lively than yesterday."

"Lively?"

Mr. Huang sighed in his heart, yesterday was already a thief and a haunter. Xia Zhician actually said that tonight will be more lively than yesterday, so how lively is it?

Alas. I just felt like I had a headache.

"Mr. Xia, if something happens tonight, I hope Mr. Xia will take care of my brothers......"

Mr. Huang also has mixed feelings in his heart, and he estimates that he has not begged others in a low voice for decades, let alone someone who is about the same age as his niece.

But human life is at stake, as long as you can save the lives of your brothers, face is not important.

After all, if you lose your face, you can pick it up, but if you lose your life, you can't pick it up.

"Third uncle, how can you ......?"

When the woman heard this, she suddenly opened her apricot eyes and looked at Xia Zhicicada angrily.

"Don't worry, Mr. Huang. After nightfall, please command your brothers not to go out, no matter what noise comes from the yard......"

Xia Zhician paused, he looked at the man woman who was still staring at him angrily, and continued a little helplessly:

"When it's dawn, get out of here and hurry."

"Thank you."

When Mr. Huang heard this, he felt relieved in his heart. Even though he has a lot of experience, there is still nothing he can do about ghosts.

Xia Zhician just smiled and walked down the stairs to the guest room on the second floor. Just as he walked up to the second floor and just stood at the corner, he heard a coquettish shout.

"Look at the darts!"

A chopstick flew from downstairs and went straight to Xia Zhicicada's side cheek.

"Girl, no!"

Mr. Huang could only scold loudly, and he had no time to stop it.

Xia Zhicicada stood still and didn't move, the lightning-like chopsticks quickly swept the tip of his nose, and then stabbed on the pillar next to him with a bang.

Somewhat uncomfortably, he stretched out his right hand and gently scratched the tip of his nose a few times.

Then he turned around and went back to his room.

……

At dusk, a small courtyard not far from the old store of the Dong family.

Several fierce hunters with steel forks on their shoulders walked over, and without even knocking on the door, they pushed the door directly and entered.

There were already more than a dozen men in various costumes in the courtyard, and when they heard the sound of the door opening, they immediately looked up at the comer. But still no one spoke, just nodded like an old acquaintance.

The people who came later just nodded to each other and found a corner in the courtyard to squat or stand.

They all seemed to be waiting for something.

It wasn't until there were already thirty or forty people in the courtyard that they walked into an inn from the outside.

This person is Li Goudan from the Dong family's old store.

Many people subconsciously got out of the way, so that Li Goudan, who looked so weak in a bunch of fierce men, stood in the middle.

"Brothers, the words of the military division. Tonight, let's enter the backyard of the inn through the tunnel and quietly kill those dart masters......"

Li Goudan stood straight with a smug face, he raised his fists with both hands, and continued in his mouth:

"Then transfer the treasure away, and go to the land temple outside the city before dawn to meet the great master."

These men are all bandits who kill people and set fires on the cottage, and they used to be hooligans and scoundrels, and it is not once or twice that they have done these murderous things.

What's more, this time, the people sent by the big boss Zhang Mazi are all good players in the cottage, and they are first-class in terms of martial arts and crime experience.

"Hahaha......"

Many of the big men let out laughter that was either contemptuous or mocking. This feeling is like a person who has only read military books to teach a battle-experienced battlefield general how to fight, and it is the feeling that makes people want to laugh.

These laughter made Li Goudan standing in the middle a little dazed and overwhelmed, and he felt like a monkey being led to watch.

Shame and anger welled up in his heart, and he slowly blushed, clenching his fists at a loss.

But at this time, the courtyard door was pushed open again.

A thin scholar in Tsing Yi walked in.

He was indifferently like a breeze in autumn, blowing in lightly. But the autumn wind, though invisible, carries a chill.

The laughter in the courtyard seemed to have been cut off with a knife.

"What are you laughing at?"

At a young age, he became a military advisor on the cottage, almost under the status of the big boss. Relying on more than a simple strategy, it also has a ruthless heart.

I don't know how many brothers in the cottage died from a few words of the military advisor.

"Strategist."

"I've seen the military advisor."

No one dares not to respect the weak scholar in front of him, even if he is a big boss, he is polite when he talks to the military advisor.

"Tonight, the brothers will carry away the corpses and treasures through the tunnels after the results of those people according to the rules I have set......

The shopkeeper in Tsing Yi said, obviously the same as what Li Goudan said just now, but this time no one dared to laugh.

He set down three rules, one is that when entering the store to kill, he must bite the wooden stick; the second is that you must wear black night clothes; The third is that all relevant traces must be cleaned.

Each of these three has its own intentions. The first is to prevent these bandits from shouting when they kill people, or if they move too loudly to attract officials and soldiers. The second is to prevent someone from hiding their finances after a killing. The third is for the sake of long-term planning.

Because of these three rules, this inn has done a full eight murders for money in a year, and it has not been discovered by the officers and soldiers in the county.

Each time, the target chosen is a passing trader or a dart team that is betting on darts. These people are all passing through this place, and they are not familiar with the place, and no one will notice that these people have suddenly disappeared.

Even if someone asks them inadvertently, the shopkeeper can infer that the guests are in a hurry early in the morning. After all, they are all merchants or dart teams, and they are indeed people who don't live permanently.

"Dog, you go and prepare some high-grade drugs and put them in the decoction. Wait until it gets dark and let the brothers do it......"

"Yes, shopkeeper. But ......"

Li Goudan suddenly remembered that in addition to the twenty-person dart team, there were two young people living in the upper room on the second floor of his house, what should he do if he alarmed them. So he went on to ask:

"Do you want to do it together with the two guests on the second floor, so as not to cause trouble."

"No, I don't. The guests upstairs naturally have someone to deal with......"

……

I heard the sound of bangs coming from the street, and there were a few knocks.

The sound is very slow, it is the movement of a drum.

Xia Zhician pushed open his door and turned around and came to the upper room on the side. It was Nanji's room, and this guy had been sleeping for a day and a night because of a hangover.

Nan Erheyi fell on the bed, even if he was asleep, he still held his black sheath long knife in both hands.

Xia Zhician didn't wake up Nan Er, but came to the square table in the corner on the side, and then reached out to the top of his head and took off the golden crown.

Without the golden crown of her hair, Xia Zhiciao's black hair fell down and was draped behind her casually.

This golden crown is also one of the several magic weapons given to him by the master when Xia Zhician left Sleepy Dragon Mountain.

"What do you want?"

As soon as he turned around, he saw Nan Er staring at Xia Zhicicada with big eyes and looking at Xia Zhicicada with his hair in surprise.

Nan Er's hands subconsciously put on a posture of holding the knife, and the black sheath long knife was ready to be unsheathed at any time.

"Youkai?"

In the middle of the night, suddenly a man ran into his room, and then his hair was scattered, what was he going to do? Nine times out of ten, they are monsters, and even if the other party is their friend's appearance, it is likely that they are monsters.

", you're the monster."

Xia Zhician rolled his eyes a little helplessly, and he used his fingers to throw the few strands scattered on his sideburns behind him, and there was a sense of chic in that action.

"Someone is coming to take your head today......"

"Huh?" Nan Er's face was dazed, and he walked down from under the bed. He could never have imagined that the horse master he had inadvertently offended in an unknown tavern would actually spend a lot of money to hire a killer on the thirteenth floor to assassinate him.

"This thing is here to keep you alive. Someone will come tonight. ”

Xia Zhician pointed to the golden crown on the table, he only said the time, and didn't say anything else. There's a lot going on tonight, but there's no need to explain them all.

"Huh? What about you? ”

Nan Er immediately thought of what to do about Xia Zhiciao's safety, after all, although he didn't know the true value of this golden crown, but seeing that Xia Zhicicada had been wearing it, it should be at least an important thing.

"Leave me alone, if everything goes according to my guess, I shouldn't need to make a move."

Xia Zhician didn't say half a word.

Sometimes, plans don't keep up with change.
