[900] Epilogue
Under the roaring night wind, the killers were already holding the sharp steel knives drawn from the scabbards they carried behind their backs.
Even in the dark, the blade of the steel knife flashed with a conspicuous cold light.
On these killers, the murderous aura has increased instead of decreasing, and it is getting heavier and heavier.
At this point, these killers didn't know that on the roof across the street behind them, Xiao Lingling's guard captain Fan Jinhong and five good guards of the forbidden army were hidden. At this time, Fan Jinhong was quietly gesturing to the ghost soldiers behind him, signaling his subordinates to prepare to do it, and at the same time, he must first ensure that he can catch it alive, and then catch it alive.
The killers standing in the night wind not far away still don't know anything about it.
Fan Jinhong's gesture was finished, and the two guards behind him took off the rainstorm gun on their backs and aimed at the killers below.
Fan Jinhong, with the rest of the other guards, jumped off the roof. Soon, they landed steadily, and quickly drew their knives with Fan Jinhong, and at the same time surrounded those killers.
The killers heard the sound of knives drawn and footsteps rushing behind them, and they all turned their heads in surprise to see Fan Jinhong and the guards of the forbidden army surrounding them.
In the dark, although the killers vaguely saw Fan Jinhong and them, they were not wearing official uniforms. But a glance at the steel knives in their hands showed that they were forbidden soldiers.
The reason why the Nine Shadows Kingdom is so strong is that in addition to the power of the ministers, there are still rules and regulations. The sabers of each army are customized. As early as two years ago, the guards of the forbidden army who were responsible for guarding Xiao Shizhu or Yuque Palace, as well as the capital city, only wore a single knife with a slender blade, a sharp tip and a long handle, and could be held with both hands.
This single knife is made of the best and purest stainless steel, and the blade and handle are bound by many magic spells, which are extremely sharp, and can be sharpened like clay, and can easily cut a green beast soul into two with a head-on knife.
And this knife must not be circulated outside the forbidden army, it belongs to the forbidden army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
They are the symbols and identity of the forbidden army.
After several killers recognized at a glance that it was the forbidden army who surrounded them, their hearts were colder than the night wind roaming the streets.
In front of the well-trained forbidden army who can learn the magic of gods and ghosts, it is impossible for these Jianghu killers to retreat after killing a bloody path like the masters and heroes in martial arts novels.
Fan Jinhong, who was holding a knife in one hand, quickly put the steel knife in his hand across his chest. The sharp gaze followed his moving eyes, and after sweeping over the killers, he laughed: "Lord Weng is really clever, knowing that once you want this ghost doctor to die, a praying mantis will immediately come to catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind." ”。
Actually, Xiao Fuling didn't know that there would be such a play. It's just that what she learned in the Academy Palace is that if you deal with important things or tasks, one more insurance will have a better chance of winning, so Xiao Lingling didn't think much about it after knowing the importance of this ghost doctor, so she sent Fan Jinhong over.
If Fan Jinhong had come a little later, all he would have seen would be the ghost doctor who had been killed.
Fortunately, Fan Jinhong arrived in time.
"Call the city guards and arrest them. When the killer was silent and at a loss, Fan Jinhong, who paused, gave another order to his subordinates behind him.
As the captain of the personal guard of the lord of Weng, Fan Jinhong, who had also served as the captain of the guard for Xiao Shizhu, would never make the kind of low-level mistake that was made by the thrush.
He knew that even if the killer who was surrounded in front of him was already the last team of the opponent's extermination, he couldn't leave. Fan Jinhong was also present when Thrush recounted this force of reselling minerals.
The opponent's power in the Howling Wind Plains is huge, and he Fan Jinhong is very clear.
As long as he takes these killers personally, the news may soon reach the ears of their opponents. Then, the next killer team will be here soon.
Fan Jinhong had to stay behind and protect the ghost doctor who still knew nothing about the house behind the closed stone door opposite.
Fan Jinhong will never leave his post in person.
One of his men, after listening to the order, quickly drew his sword and pulled out the rattling arrow from his waist. The subordinate then raised his arrows and pulled the lead.
A sharp sound of "boom" broke the silence of the night sky, and in the blink of an eye, the arrow that had risen into the air also exploded.
Brilliant sparks bloomed in the night sky, tearing through the darkness above Fan Jinhong's head, and then fleeting.
This is the sound of the forbidden army's arrows, and soon the sergeants and soldiers patrolling the city will rush to this place.
The killers all looked up at the night sky that had been blasted by the arrows before, and threw all the weapons in their hands on the ground one after another.
With the clatter of metal and the ground, the killers gave up their resistance......
When the night faded as the cloudy sun rose in the west, the martial ghost doctor rode a beast soul and walked alone into the northern gate of the city that had only been opened by Yuque City.
The streets behind the gate were bustling with the opening of the city gates.
Along with the martial ghost doctors, there were also merchants who came here from all over the world to do business, and some ghost people from the country who came to play.
As the capital of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the fame of this place is only a little smaller than that of the capital of Xu. Two huge ghost towns, one south and one north, each with its own characteristics.
It always attracts some tourists.
The martial ghost doctor who followed the ghost group into the ghost city, took a deep breath after walking through the urn city, and continued to move forward after calming down, slowly walking towards the drunken ghost building in the city.
Not far behind him, there were two human souls dressed in brocade, dressed as children of a rich family, and they had been following the martial ghost doctor unhurriedly.
They didn't show concentration, they looked carelessly, looking left and right, and they looked very curious about every brick and tile in the city.
As for the martial ghost doctor, he didn't look back at them, as if he didn't know the existence of these two human souls.
After walking for a while, the martial ghost doctor came to the door of the drunken ghost restaurant that had just opened in the city.
The restaurant that has just opened is not noisy and noisy, and the yawning handyman is cleaning at the door. Inside the gate, there were not a few ghosts sitting either. It's all ghosts who get up early for breakfast, and there are only three or five of them.
And the martial ghost doctor, who turned over and got off the beast soul, handed the reins in his hand to the miscellaneous servants, and walked in.
He went straight to the counter in the depths of the hall, glanced at the person in charge of wiping the table behind the counter, and asked, "Is there a private room upstairs?"
"Yes, empty. The shopkeeper raised his eyes and glanced at the martial ghost doctor, and suddenly smiled.
"Give me the innermost part of the passage, the one facing the street. Serve some good breakfast and porridge and have some pastries. The martial ghost doctor took out a small ingot of silver, handed it to the shopkeeper with a smile on his face, and said with a natural expression: "If a fox ghost comes, invite him to come over for dinner, we are friends." ”。
"Okay. The shopkeeper didn't think much about it, and after receiving the money, he asked the person who ran the hall to take the martial ghost doctor upstairs.
According to the instructions of the martial ghost doctor, the person who ran the hall arranged him at the end of the passage on the second floor, and retreated in the private room facing the street. After a while, the runners brought in the food one after another, and after filling the whole table, they stopped, closed the house, and went downstairs.
After the runner left for a while, the door of the private room opened, and Hu Lan walked in slowly.
Before that, he had already told the martial ghost doctor that he must come to this restaurant every two days at what time to eat or drink tea.
The martial ghost doctor who knew this knew that Hu Lan would come here for breakfast today, so he came here a quarter of an hour in advance to wait.
"Why are you back?" Hu Lan, who had just entered the door, hurriedly closed the door of the private room, walked to the martial ghost doctor and sat down, lowered his voice, and asked quietly.
In his tone, it was not difficult to hear that Hu Lan was a little surprised by the sudden visit of the martial ghost doctor.
As the Gu master behind the martial ghost doctor, Hu Lan naturally knew about this ghost doctor, and followed the ghost mother to the north to pick up Xiao Shizhu. So far, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother have not returned, but the accompanying ghost doctor of the martial ghost doctor has come back first, and Hu Lan's heart is full of suspicions.
"**Let me come back and get some equipment and medicine, the tengu Daika they raised is injured, and we don't have any items and medicine to heal the beast soul. The martial ghost doctor, who was not in a hurry to pour water for Hu Lan, said calmly: "This task fell on me, so I had to come back." ”。
"What injury?" was still suspicious of Hu Lan, and immediately asked again.
"I fell and broke one of my front legs. The martial ghost doctor put down the teapot and said Dahua's injury: "The claws are also broken." ”。
As soon as these words came out, the doubts in Hu Lan's heart gradually dissipated. But I couldn't help but scold: "It's really better than a dog than a human." ”。
"The King of the Nine Shadows regards it as his son's precious pet, and we, the close ministers who are waiting on the left and right, are used to it. The martial ghost doctor smiled, took out a bloody cotton ball from his sleeve and handed it to Hu Lan beside him, lowered his voice, and said softly in a voice that only he and Hu Lan could hear: "One day Xiao Shizhu was angry and pierced the palm and skin of his palm with his fist too fierce, we bandaged what he left. ”。
After a pause, the martial ghost doctor said again: "I have completed your task, what about my money?"
Hu Lan didn't say anything, just raised the cotton ball in his hand, put it in the cloudy light that penetrated into the room through the window flower, and looked at it carefully.
There was a lot of opaque red viscous liquid on the cotton ball, but the liquid had dried up by this time. As soon as the cotton ball was in his hand, Hu Lan could clearly perceive the liquid, and there was a faint mystical power that had not yet dissipated.
These dry and viscous liquids with positive colors are the ghost blood of Xiao Shizhu. At least, that's what Fox Lan thinks.
After being stunned for a moment, Hu Lan's originally calm heart was churning with turbulent surprise.
"He really, he really came back from the vast yellow spring, after killing a circle, and came back safely. After a long time, Hu Lan, who leaned back on the back of the chair, looked up at the painted pattern on the roof of the private room, and the surprise in his eyes gradually turned into disappointment.
Soon after, the disappointment turned into an unbelievable look again, lingering in the eyes of Hu Lan as she looked at the rooftop.
The Martial Ghost Doctor looked at him stunned, not knowing what he meant by muttering this.
Although the martial ghost doctor was hired by Hu Lan, he never knew what Hu Lan wanted this cotton ball stained with Xiao Shizhu's ghost blood to do?
And Hu Lan's words and deeds aroused the curiosity of the martial ghost doctor.
However, curiosity is curiosity, and the martial ghost doctor did not show it very strongly, and it didn't take long for him to ask again: "Lord Hulan, where is my money?"
Hearing this, Hu Lan slowly lowered his head, looked at the cotton ball in his hand again, and then slowly stood up, and after receiving the cotton ball in his sleeve, he said: "I will send someone to your house for the commission, forget about it, you and I will no longer know each other." You haven't seen me, and I haven't seen you. ”。
Leaving these words, Hu Lan walked to the door without looking back, and after opening the door, he walked out of the private room without saying a word.
