Chapter 108: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Arrives

Early the next morning, Yuan Qi didn't leave a word and left alone......

This beggar, he has always lived a life of idleness, and has never been interested in activities such as gangs and sects - so no one in the rudder thinks that his farewell seems too abrupt......

For this Uncle Yuantai, who has always come in the wind and gone in the clouds - the dragon has no end in sight, Murong Xiuli can only laugh at it......

And because the situation in Shuozhou was really urgent, he had to hurriedly pack his bags, say goodbye to everyone in the meeting one by one, and rode out of Danzhou and went straight to Shuozhou......

Along the way, Murong Xiuli Xiaoxing stayed overnight—rushing west along the post road! However, among the pavilions and inns along the way, he kept discovering some symbols that were obviously contact codes!

Based on Murong Xiuli's experience as an undercover agent in the Night Stalker Society, he already knew the common contact code of Youyan Si at a glance...... And now, the symbols he keeps discovering are clearly not owned by the Night Stalkers!

This is really strange! Could it be that the gust of wind that was about to blow in Shuozhou just now had already made some other dormant forces ready to hear the news? So, who could they be?

Thinking of this, Murong Xiuli couldn't help but feel a slight stir in his heart—could it be that the strange and unpredictable "Dark Snake" was following up? But for what purpose, did they insist on coming to this troubled water?

While he was guessing without a clue, a cold wind suddenly blew in from outside the window—— which immediately made Murong Xiuli feel a chill......

It seems that there are always more unexpected things than expected!

......

Time flies! In the blink of an eye, nearly eight months have passed since Murong Xiuli left Juyan Prefecture...... So, what is the situation in Juyanzhou?

On the morning of the ninth day of the lunar month last year, just after Murong Xiuli hurriedly left Juyanzhou City, more than a month had passed, and the situation in Juyanzhou had changed again!

The forces of the Baiqiang people entrenched in the northeast foothills of Helan Mountain are becoming more and more arrogant - they are constantly looking for opportunities to provoke on the border every now and then!

Juyan Prefecture's envoy to the Tai Hongmou was because he was in charge of a large state's governmental, military, and general affairs on his own -- his work was really heavy and tiring, and he felt overwhelmed all the time! Because of this, he gradually felt exhausted and even a little overwhelmed......

And now by his side, several powerful people have left him one after another-

First of all, the righteous son Murong Xiuli and the commander of the guards, Li Shuzhou, both of whom never returned, were never heard from......

And Pei Hong, the chief strategist he relied on a lot, went to Hengshan alone to investigate the traces of the mysterious "alien sect" - but it is still like a mud cow entering the sea, as if it has evaporated from the world!

All of this has made Hongmou, who is close to knowing the destiny of heaven, feel that his energy has gradually declined in the past few months...... Although the ambition in his chest still exists, the current Lord Tantai has involuntarily and slowly retreated!

However, due to the fact that the Middle Earth Shenlong Kingdom was all over the government and the opposition - it was really impossible to find a more competent general, Zhongshu ordered Kou Zhongwen to send letters repeatedly and earnestly to retain the Tai Hongmou......

The matter of Lord Tantai's initiative to resign has been delayed again and again, and nearly half a year has passed with a flick of his fingers...... It's the season of autumn wind again!

On the morning of this day, as usual, Yutai Hongmou led the guards of the Shuai Mansion to inspect the defense of various parts of the state city. At this moment, their group was on their way back to the Shuai Mansion......

After a while, the sedan chair of Lord Tangtai had already turned into Yongjing Street, and he saw that the "Yongjing Military Marshal's Mansion" was in front of it - about 30 zhang away!

At this time, it is the morning market, and the street where the sedan chair passes is full of people and bustling, and it is a scene of ordinary people's peaceful and peaceful life!

At this time, Hongmou, who was sitting in the sedan chair, unconsciously stretched out his hand and picked up the sedan curtain on one side - he was very happy to see the happy life of the people in this peaceful time!

Immediately, a vivid and vivid picture of the people's joy and leisure came to his face - this made the lord in the sedan chair completely relax and feel the ...... In such a rare moment, Yutai Hongmou watched with his eyes and listened with his ears - a very gratifying pleasure arose in his heart!

Everything on the street was so beautiful in such a precious time—— that Lord Tantai did not notice in the slightest that a mortal danger that was closely associated with the beautiful scene before him was approaching him quite quickly!

To the left of the sedan chair, on the roofs of the shops along the street, a figure crouched low—this man was staring at everything on the street that was at stake in the sedan chair!

Suddenly, a man dressed as a vegetable farmer selling vegetables along the street quietly reached out and pulled out a crossbow machine from under the shelf!

It's too late, it's too soon! The man who had been lurking on the roof struck with great speed! The long sword with the sheath in his hand swung out suddenly, and suddenly the sheath detached went straight to the right shoulder of the "vegetable farmer"—and it was thrown at it!

Almost at the same time, the knight on the roof leaped down - his sword stabbed straight in the direction of the scabbard!

In the blink of an eye, the long sword had been inserted into the scabbard, giving the "vegetable farmer" a heavy blow to his right shoulder!

At that moment, the "vegetable farmer" who was caught off guard immediately "clanged" the crossbow machine in his hand - he fell to the ground by mistake!

And at that moment when he was stunned, the knight twisted his wrist and slammed the hilt of his sword into his neck, causing him to faint!

At this moment, from under the eaves of a second-floor porch on the right side of the street, there was a "whoosh" - a sharp arrow shot over!

The knight heard the sound and discerned the position, and the long sword in his hand was quickly raised, accurately blocking the dark arrow!

He reacted very quickly, and immediately touched the ground on his toes, and used a trick "Flying Swallow Sweeping Water", like an arrow off the string - he pounced on the person who had plotted against him!

The hidden archer missed an arrow, and was about to make up for another arrow, when he didn't realize that the other party was like a bird of prey—it was so quick to counterattack! He was about to dodge, but it was too late—the knight struck the archer with the end of his scabbard like lightning, and with his left hand and five fingers, he poked it directly, and struck him directly on the waist!

In an instant, the archer immediately felt a tightness in his chest, and the sky was spinning in front of him, and Venus was surging! Immediately, his lower body had become completely numb, and he wanted to move a little—but he couldn't move at all!

That chivalrous man was indeed a miraculous skill, three strikes and five divisions by two, and in an instant, he only needed to kill the two assassins in a few face-to-face efforts, and when the guards of the Shuai Mansion suddenly reacted, only the murderer was left to take in the murderer and tell the Lord of the Shotai to know......
