Although the words have come to this point, Sun Yixiang still did not loosen Kang Haijiao's restraints out of caution.

He asked Lin Yuancheng to get the sword of Temple Island, and stained the knife with the blood of Temple Island, and then the two of them took Kang Haijiao together and went to the latter's residence.

The place where Kang Haijiao lives is not an inn with many people, but an inconspicuous house on the outskirts of the city.

The room looked very simple, except for a table to eat and a bed to sleep, there was hardly even a decent piece of furniture, and it looked like even if a thief entered the house, he was not afraid of losing things.

However, it is this kind of house that is easy to hide.

To make a long story short, it wasn't until Kang Haijiao revealed the secret grid hidden under a certain floor tile and let Sun Lin and the others confirm that there were indeed three swords hidden in it, that Sun Yihuan finally loosened his tie.

This is said to be "three swords", but in fact it is two and a half, because the sword of the "Heavenly Sword" Fang Jinghai was cut off in the duel with Terashima, and only half of the broken sword was brought back; of course, this situation has happened before, and it doesn't matter if you have half a sword, because sooner or later it will be melted, as long as the part you bring back is not too small, and the blood on the sword, it doesn't matter if there is more or less, as long as it is not less than only one or two drops.

After the three of them got the sword, they turned their heads and ran to the "joint point" that Kang Haijiao said.

According to Kang Haijiao, he didn't know who the connector was and where he lived, he only knew: every night after midnight and before midnight the next morning, he went to a ruined temple outside the city, lit eight of the coarsest incense sticks in the incense burner, and then exited the temple gate, waited for a while and then went back, and the connector would be waiting for him there.

The mystery behind this joint method, Kang Haijiao has not thought much about it, but Sun Yixiang reacted as soon as he heard it: I'm afraid there are some mechanisms and secret passages in this broken temple, right?

Brother Sun was right......

There is a mechanism in the incense burner, and there is a secret passage under the Buddha statue, and when the mechanism moves, someone below will receive a signal.

And the "connector person" is actually not a person, but a group of people.

They are mixed in Dengzhou City on weekdays, and on the surface they are ordinary people, such as writing letters, selling vegetables, killing pigs, etc., among these people, anyone can be a "connector", to put it bluntly...... On the night of lighting incense, whoever happens to be on duty is.

Tonight's connector is Lao Zhao, who sells cloth in the city, so what is the specific name of this Lao Zhao? Don't ask, it's not important to ask, I don't need to mention it, you don't need to remember, you just don't bother to make it up if you ask again.

In short, at three o'clock in the ugly hour, he was touched by the pressure on the organ in the incense burner, and Lao Zhao, who was dozing in the "duty room" under the temple, was awakened.

After he got up, he calmed down, quickly took a black cloth to cover his face, and listened to the movement above in the secret passage, and then probed his head out.

Lao Zhao waited silently in the dark for a while, and then the Kang Haijiao came in with a few narrow wooden boxes.

"Here we are. That old Zhao lowered his voice, tried his best to say hello to Kang Haijiao in a voice different from his usual voice, and at the same time lit a candle on the candlestick, so that the temple was a little brighter.

"Eh, here we are. Kang Haijiao responded as he put the four wooden boxes on the ground.

Lao Zhao glanced at the wooden box on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Counting these four, you and the sixteen in charge of Terashima are considered to be the same, right?"

"Yes, I finally completed the task assigned by my master. When Kang Haijiao said this, he had nothing in his hand, and he was in a state with his back to the temple gate, that is to say, Sun Yihe and Lin Yuancheng, who were monitoring in the dark outside the temple at this moment, could not see Kang Haijiao's front.

It was also at this moment that Kang Haijiao raised his right hand in front of him with a very small movement.

He first raised two fingers, matched his eyes, and signaled that he was being followed and watched by two people, and then turned his palm and made a "press down" gesture, asking the other party not to shout first, but to wait for a while.

This set of actions is not a unique joint code, but people like Lao Zhao, who specialize in stealth and intelligence work, can easily guess the meaning.

Therefore, Lao Zhao also immediately looked directly into Kang Haijiao's eyes and nodded slightly.

"Oh, yes. Kang Haijiao received a response, and immediately spoke again, "Master...... He's been okay lately, has he ever mentioned me?"

"Uh......" Lao Zhao hesitated slightly, then followed the other party's words, "Yes...... Yes The host said that you did a good job and should reward you heavily. ”

Kang Haijiao smirked: "Haha, where, it is my blessing to be able to serve the 'Xiao Zhuang Master', even if I don't reward me." ”

Although Lao Zhao got the other party's eyes and gestures, Kang Haijiao suddenly said the three words "Xiao Zhuang Master" like this, which still surprised him a little, and he couldn't help but wonder if there was still a play in the play, so he didn't answer for a while.

"Well......" Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Kang Haijiao hurriedly said, "In short, I have delivered the sword, and then I will hand it over to you, brother......" At this point, Kang Haijiao pointed at himself with the finger hidden in front of him, and made a circular gesture, "...... Let's take a step ahead of you, and we'll see a period later. ”

Kang Haijiao also understood Lao Zhao twice, which meant that he would come back in a while.

"Okay ......" but Lao Zhao didn't trust the other party completely, so he didn't say much, and only replied with such a word.

The Kang Haijiao said, hugged his fists and bowed his hands, turned around and left, and soon went out of the temple gate.

And Lao Zhao waited until the other party went out before silently leaning over and holding the sword boxes, and then he walked to the candle and gently blew it out, hiding his body in the darkness again......

............

"Well? I didn't lie to you. Not long after, Kang Haijiao and Sun Lin met a few hundred meters outside the temple.

"Well, it seems that what you said is true. Sun Yihuan nodded in response, "Since that's the case, then let's see you tomorrow." ”

"Eh?" Kang Haijiao was stunned, "Sun Shaoxia, didn't you say that if I confessed honestly and cooperated with you, you would find a way to find a way for me to survive......?

"Nonsense, don't you want time to think of ideas?" Sun Yihe said confidently, "Lao Tzu hasn't closed his eyes for almost a day and a night, you can at least let me go back and think about it, anyway, even if Xiao Zhun wants to suspect you, he won't be in front of you for a long time." ”

"Uh...... Yes, what Sun Shaoxia said is very true. Kang Haijiao's eyes rolled and he continued, "Then I'll ...... Say goodbye first?"

"Wait. At this time, Lin Yuancheng still looked a little suspicious, he stopped Kang Haijiao, and immediately turned his head and asked Sun Yihuan, "Brother Sun, just let ......him go?"

"If you don't go back, you won't go back. Sun Yihui said easily in a fearless tone, "Right now, he has a request for us, he wants to leave and let him go, we will save trouble." ”

"Hmm......" Lin Yuancheng hadn't actually figured out the accounts yet, but since Sun Yihuan said so, he also believed it, "Okay." ”

"Yes, Sun Shaoxia is right, I won't leave if you drive me away. Kang Haijiao also hurriedly continued, "Lin Shaoxia, please rest assured." ”

"Okay...... Let's go, don't be long-winded. Lin Yuancheng didn't have a good impression of a villain like Kang Haijiao, and he didn't look at the other party when he replied.

Kang Haijiao also laughed twice: "Hehe...... That...... See you tomorrow, both of you. ”

Before the words fell, he performed light skills and fled away.

When he ran away, Lin Yuancheng looked at Sun Yi and said, "Brother Sun, then let's go back to the inn." ”

Unexpectedly......

"No, I can't. Sun Yihuan suddenly narrowed his small eyes, and said thoughtfully, "This is not right." ”

"Oh?" Lin Yuancheng was shocked when he heard this, "What's the matter?"

"Can't you see it? Sun Yixiang replied categorically.

Lin Yuancheng was puzzled when he heard this, and he said in his heart: Brother Sun, are you fine? Just now, you let him go as if everything was fine, why did you change your face again as soon as you left?

"I ...... I do feel like there's something wrong, but I can't say anything about it for a while. Lin Yuancheng thought for a while, and then responded, "Brother Sun, you are very sure that it doesn't matter, so I'll ...... it."

"I just showed it to Kang Haijiao, so that he could let his guard down and think he had deceived us. When Sun Yihuan said this, he tilted the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Hmph...... Just the one he played in the ruined temple, and he wanted to fool me around?" he paused, "Even the nurse who sells fakes on the street is better than him, and the few lines of dialogue between the two of them are too stiff to improvise...... Especially after Kang Haijiao finished saying the second sentence, the attitude of the connector person obviously changed. ”

"Then in Brother Sun's opinion......" Lin Yuancheng didn't fully understand Brother Sun's words, but he didn't ask much, just motioned to Brother Sun to continue with a puzzled face.

"I bet that Kang Haijiao must have quietly given the other party some code in the blind corner where we couldn't see. Sun Yihun replied, "Kang Haijiao, after all, he still wants to kill us, after all, the strength and power of the two of us can't be compared with that Xiao Zhun, so it's easier to kill us if he chooses...... And as long as we die, it doesn't matter if he betrays his master. ”

"Then why don't you ......" Lin Yuancheng thought for a while, then continued, "Let's chase him to his residence now, and strike first?"

"Hey~" Sun Yihuan shook his head and waved his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "There's no need, just now he only hinted at the general situation with the other party at most, but he didn't say anything about our more specific things, presumably his accomplice of the joint is also confused and suspicious now...... So, he's sure he'll come back again in a while. At this point, Sun Yixiang paused slightly, leaned a little closer to Lin Yuancheng's ear, and then said, "I don't think it's as good as ...... The two of us rushed ahead of him, went to the broken temple first, played a trick, let them fight in the nest, and borrowed a knife to kill people, wouldn't it be beautiful~"

"Oh?" Although Lin Yuancheng is not stupid, he engages in this kind of sassy routine...... He is not as skilled as Brother Sun, "I don't know what Brother Sun's strategy is?"

"Hehe......" Hearing this, Sun Yihuan immediately smiled slightly, and then said a poisonous plan.

............

That night, later.

In the darkness before dawn, Kang Haijiao showed his light skills and walked lightly.

In fact, he was also quite cautious, because he was afraid that he would be followed by Sun Lin and the others, so he deliberately returned to his residence first and pretended to enter the house.

After closing the door, he waited in the room for a moment, and then slipped out of the back window and crept around the room.

On the premise of fully confirming that he was not being followed and watched, he set off again and returned to the ruined temple.

And after arriving near the broken temple, he didn't rush to approach, but reconnoitred around again, for fear that Sun Lin would stay here and ambush......

It can be said that from Kang Haijiao's point of view, he basically did everything he could, and after all this, he walked into the broken temple and inserted eight incense sticks on the incense burner.

However, he never expected it......

This time, he hadn't left the temple gate after lighting the incense, and the shadows behind the Buddha statues in the broken temple, on the beams, and behind the pillars...... Suddenly, six figures rushed at them.

Each of these people is dressed as a "joint": dressed in black, masked, but of different heights and sizes.

Although these six people all used swords, their respective martial arts paths were not the same, and at this moment, they couldn't help but say that they were coming towards Kang Haijiao from all directions, and they all had words in their mouths: "Kill this traitor! Don't let him run!"
