Chapter 324: Unintentional Bumping
Meeting Philip at this time was something that Donn and Josia hadn't expected. However, with so much information, the next shopping trip naturally had to be cancelled.
The two quickly returned to the Creekside Tavern, found Enoch, who was still studying negotiation strategies according to the conditions, and discussed the impact of the other party's complex negotiation team on this side, and whether there would be any opportunities.
At the same time, some of the undercurrents in the city have also begun to roll up inadvertently......
............
Nancheng District, a remote street.
This is now a taboo place for the citizens of Shanxi City, because there was a fierce battle not long ago, and hundreds of garrison cavalry faced a dozen bounty hunters. There was no winner in that battle, the bounty hunters were wiped out, and the garrison cavalry suffered heavy casualties.
Later, at some point, a rumor gradually spread in the city. It is said that it may be because there were so many people who died at that time, so at night you can hear sounds similar to the clashing of blades and the crying of the souls...... Regardless of whether this rumor was said casually by an old man with a bit of a problem with his ears, anyway, now that this place has been shrouded in a terrifying aura, even a homeless person will consciously avoid this place.
Of course, there are always people who don't believe in evil, or there are people who don't care about it at all......
"Bernie, is that mole talking about number 38 or number 83?" Rubbing his red nose, Boris asked impatiently, frowning as he tried to distinguish the house numbers on the abandoned houses on both sides.
"Don't ask me, I don't know. Bernie on the side was obviously in a bad mood and pouted: "If you hadn't done it too hard." The mole was killed with a single punch. Why do you need to dwell on this question now? ”
Bowes scratched his head. Helplessly, he spread his hands: "How did I know that the mole was so unbeaten, he couldn't even carry a punch...... I really don't understand, it's too embarrassing for such a person to be a mole. ”
The reason for the incident is very simple, after Boris and Bernie became the chief of the garrison and the chief of the cavalry in Shan Creek City, they naturally did their old jobs and came to trouble the mole. But I don't know if it's because the last incident was too big and made them famous now. The moles in the city also played disappearance en masse.
Yesterday, I finally caught one, and I was waiting for the torture to ask other moles for clues, but I was killed by the excited Boris by mistake, and Zuihou was left with such an embarrassing problem of No. 38 and No. 83.
These two house numbers seem to be only more than 50 houses apart, and at most a few hundred meters away. But the Assassins were so astute that if they made the wrong choice and were seen by the other side of the garrison a few hundred meters away, they were guaranteed to have fled.
"Your mother!" "Damn it......"
Approaching their street, Boris and Bernie were shocked to find that the street had a twist in the middle, with Nos. 38 and No. 83 separated by each other. This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of successive searches and arrests.
"Divide the troops. Bernie slapped his forehead and reluctantly suggested. "You and I will each take a team of people and see who is lucky. ”
Bowes nodded and drew his broadsword: "I pick number 83, hehe, I have a hunch that the mole must be there." ”
"It's a hunch again......" Bernie squinted his eyes and made a gesture of please: "Don't forget that you are only a warrior, not an astrological fortune teller!"
"Haha, that's hard to say, maybe I'll do it when I'm old. ”
"Oh, that must be Bran's worst soothsayer. Well, let's do it in ten minutes!"
As the words fell, Bernie took half of the cavalry and walked around the right aisle.
Boris was not far from the No. 83 house, and with a wave of his hand, the garrison cavalry slowly approached the destination under the cover of the abandoned houses in the company.
"Well, the zuihou family at the end of the street is No. 103, this should be No. 100, rub, and there is a collapsed, heavy number...... This one is number 90, oh, found it. ”
With a lame arithmetic effort, a few minutes later, Boris and his cavalry managed to locate House 83, which was a relatively intact two-story attic.
Sniffling, Bowis grinned, "Haha, you can tell at a glance that there must be a mole hiding here...... Surround me, who dares to make a little noise, Lao Tzu crushed his legs. ”
When the cavalry heard this, they nodded silently, and lay on the ground and carefully surrounded them.
Bowis has been in Mountain Creek for a while, and his style of behavior is well understood, and it is completely different from that of Demps who took office, and this kind of cruel words are not just words.
Fortunately, after a few more minutes, Boris and his cavalry managed to surround the two-story attic.
"How long?" asked Bowes, carefully observing the loft as he whispered.
"About two minutes left, Hall Master. A cavalryman beside him looked at the hourglass in his hand and gave a time, although it was not accurate, but not much worse.
Bowes licked his lips: "Explain, get on the crossbow, and shoot me a round later." ”
"Yes!"
The crossbow is not standard in the Security Department, the longbow is. However, after Boris suffered this at the hands of Donn, whether it was in Riva City or now in Mountain Creek City, he was the first to get this kind of killing weapon with a short killing distance but short attack time.
In fact, according to the Assassin's explanation, there was only one Assassin who temporarily lived here, and just surrounding it like this should solve the problem. However, in order to train his cavalry, Boris decided to take trouble a bit.
Bowes squinted at the hourglass falling a wisp of sand, waved his hand, and roared, "Attack!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......
Dozens of crossbow arrows whistled out and shot through the broken wooden doors, windows and other weak spots in the second-story attic.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......
The cavalry with crossbows was divided into two echelons, and when the first round of quick-mounted crossbows was fired, the next round urgently followed. There was a pause in between, but it didn't affect the continuity of the attack in the slightest.
Bang, the attack still had an effect, and a black figure by the window on the second floor fell down with several arrows.
"Haha......" looked up to the sky and laughed, Bowis got up from his hiding place, listened to the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air from the street not far away, and laughed wildly, "Bernie, Bernie, it's still Lao Tzu's luck, you don't have a mole and shoot a hairy hair......"
Bang bang bang......
The stammering tone, in the sight of Bowes, who opened his mouth in shock, the second-story attic shook suddenly, and dozens of explosions sounded almost at the same time. Immediately, a series of black shadows broke through the wall from all directions, and rushed towards the thin defense line formed by the surrounding cavalry.
Isn't there only one situation...... The thought was fleeting, and Boris reacted quickly and rushed up and yelled: "Give me ......"
Before the words fell, Boris automatically closed his mouth, his face pale.
Those black-clothed men were quite skilled, and after rushing into the cavalry defense line, dozens of colorful fighting lights lit up one after another. This is undoubtedly terrifying, because it represents the same number of Dou Qi martial artists. However, it may be because they were attacked in an instant and were a little panicked, so these black-clothed men did not do much entanglement, and some of them were injured and shook off the cavalry beside them and quickly rushed out.
Most of the garrison cavalry are just ordinary strong men, and it is really rare for them to burst out of vindictiveness, so they can't stop these people. Without waiting for Bowes to rush up and leave one, the opponent had already formed a comprehensive breakthrough. Although they can still be seen, with the terrain here, it is impossible to round them up again.
"Fuck me!" boom......
Bowis threw a red sword and smashed through a low wall, then stopped his pursuit, his face gloomy as water, and his scarlet eyes were about to burst into flames.
It happened so fast that I thought it was just killing a mole, but it led to a string. And after injuring several people here, Boris can only watch the other party run away now, how can this not make his heart rage.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Bowes's chest rose and fell several times, and then he turned and walked towards the dark shadow that had fallen earlier.
Nightcoat, black scarf, standard thief and assassin attire.
Rudely took off his scarf, stretched out his fingers and stopped in front of the man's nose for a few seconds, and then touched his neck without giving up, and finally Boris withdrew his arm, his face even more ugly.
"What are you doing in a daze, search for me, search, search!"
With a furious roar, the cavalry quickly rushed into the two-story attic, but found nothing but some food, a few bloodstains, and a sword.
Obviously, in the rounds of crossbow arrows fired just now, no one was killed except for the unlucky guy in front of him who was hit because he was standing too close to the window.
"This ...... Uh, what's going on?" Not far away, Bernie turned around the corner with a moaning middle-aged man, and then looked at the chaos here, and couldn't help but be shocked.
......
As soon as the news from both sides is communicated, the matter will naturally be clear.
Bernie threw the injured middle-aged man to the ground, and said a little depressedly: "Old Bao, this is the mole that I explained before, and we are not yin." Well, you must have stumbled into something by accident...... So many people, do the moles have a meeting?"
This is undoubtedly a frustrating result, or it can only be said that Bowes is too lucky to go to the wrong place to encounter this thing.
Bowes looked left and right at the war knife in his hand, was silent for a while, and looked up and said, "It's a little strange...... They shouldn't be moles. ”
There was no actual basis for speculation, but from the mouth of Bowes, who had dealt with the Assassins for decades, it was almost conclusive.
Bernie frowned, "Oh? Is it a bounty hunter?"
"Who knows. Bowes straightened his back, took a deep breath, his right eye flickered, and the war knife in his hand was inadvertently thrown out: "No matter who it is......"
"Ah......h
"Since it's in my Boris eyes, you must stay!"
