So how did these six people come about? We'll have to go back a little bit.

Let's say that when Kang Haijiao left the broken temple last time, Lao Zhao already knew that something was going on tonight, but the information revealed by Kang Haijiao's gestures and eyes was really limited, and Lao Zhao was not easy to judge what happened.

In short, since Kang Haijiao has made it clear that he will come back in a while, then Lao Zhao will see the move.

After thinking about it for a while, Lao Zhao first took the four sword boxes back into the secret passage, and then he didn't rush out again, but lay behind the door of the secret passage, peeking at the situation in the broken temple through a hidden hole.

As a result, he had just laid down there, and instead of waiting for Kang Haijiao, he waited for two other people—two masked men.

Of course, because it was pitch black in the ruined temple at this time, they couldn't see Lao Zhao, who was not masked, and what they could be sure of was that there were two footsteps.

When Lao Zhao heard the footsteps, he said in his heart: "Could these two be what Kang Haijiao just hinted at...... Someone who is stalking him?"

He was thinking about it, the two people outside the secret passage had already searched in this broken temple, although Lao Zhao's ear skills were not very good, but in this dark and quiet environment, he could still hear the other party's movements by listening to the footsteps intently.

"Nothing. After a few moments, the masked man with a characteristic voice spoke.

"I didn't find anything. Masked Man B quickly answered.

"......Shh It's still late, and I should have come in earlier, so maybe people are still there. Masked Man A said angrily.

"Hey, if you follow what I said, while Brother Jiao was talking to him just now, the two of us rushed in, and we might have caught him. The masked man said.

"Tsk...... Why are you so stupid?" said the masked man A, "Didn't Brother Jiao say it before the operation, he doesn't know where the connector came from, and he doesn't know if the other party has other helpers in the secret, if we rush in directly when they connect, it will be us who will be sneak attacked." ”

"Then ......" Masked Man B was scolded for being stupid, and seemed to be in a hurry, "What do you say about Terashima? Isn't it that Brother Jiao has attracted his attention, and we will solve it for him from behind?"

"Nonsense, can that be the same?" said the masked man Jia, "Terashima was counted dead by Brother Jiao, we know that he must be coming alone, can he not do it?"

"Hmm......" Masked Man B groaned, as if he suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed, "Eh, do you think it could be the drama that Brother Jiao just played?"

"Go, go, go...... We're still alive now, I'm afraid we'll be as soon as we step in. Masked Man A said conclusively, "Besides~ I don't think that 'connector man' is very smart, Brother Jiao scared him by setting up a little ecstasy, and he didn't even think to open the sword box to confirm the contents of it." ”

"Then why are they missing now?" asked Masked Man B again.

"I guess...... There was really only one person in the 'joint', so he was a little empty after reading Brother Jiao's hint just now, and decided to transport the sword away first, and then come back to meet Brother Jiao later. The masked man said, "Hmph...... Fortunately, Brother Jiao was clever and played a routine of pretending to have something, otherwise we would have made a splash at this time, and when he turned around, he would immediately light another incense, and the other party would definitely be suspicious......"

At this point, he paused, as if after thinking for a while, before he spoke again: "That's it...... Let's not be busy, let's withdraw first, since we have basically determined that there is only one connector, then wait for Brother Jiao to come and fish him again, this time let's stay away, after all, Brother Jiao called the other party just now, if the other party comes back after putting the sword, it is not easy to search around first...... Let's go a little further to lure the snake out of the hole. ”

Masked Man B said, "That...... We're far away, how can we do it in a while?"

"Are you stupid?" Masked Man A scolded again, "With Brother Jiao's martial arts, in a one-on-one situation, you still can't catch the other party?"

"Oh...... Yes, yes, that makes sense. Masked Man B said, laughing, "Haha...... Then our brothers and sons will be more relaxed. He paused for half a second, and then said, "Eh, you said that if this thing is done today, the higher authorities will definitely not be able to treat us badly, right?"

"Hey~ look at your bear-like look. Masked Man A replied in an impatient tone, "What do you want? If there is really a heavy reward, it is also for Brother Jiao, after all...... The plans are all set by others, and the things are also done by others, so we are just starting to do it. ”

"Yes, yes...... That's nature. The masked man Yi said, "What kind of character is Brother Jiao, even the surname Xiao has been deceived by him, and there is an undercover agent next to him who doesn't know it, heh...... In the future, the hegemony of the 'Helper' will be completed, and the position surnamed Xiao may be our Brother Jiao to sit, hehe...... Maybe we'll be a little bit bit of a light then. ”

"Alright, alright...... Don't send your big dreams in the spring and autumn period, let's talk about the things in front of you first, and follow me. Before the masked man said this, the footsteps of the two gradually drifted away, and they soon left the ruined temple.

At the same moment, the old Zhao Ke, who was eavesdropping behind the secret door, was already in a cold sweat.

When the voices of the two people completely disappeared, Lao Zhao dared to turn around, lightly came to the four sword boxes, and opened them one by one.

With the light of the fire fold in his hand, Lao Zhao fixed his eyes and looked at it...... The scalp is numb.

Lao Zhao may not know other blades, but he still knows the sword of Kohei Terashima.

Terashima is a very individual person, even these people know that Terashima will never give his sword to others, and take a step back, even if it is not Terashima, because for these Toei samurai, the sword can be said to be a part of their life - the person is in the sword, life and death are inseparable.

At this moment, Terashima's sword appeared here, and there was still blood on the knife, and the fate of Terashima was self-evident.

Lao Zhao didn't know that Terashima and Lin Yuancheng had a duel tonight, because Kang Haijiao and Terashima's actions didn't need to be reported to them in advance, and they all knew out afterwards through rumors in the rivers and lakes and the sword they got who died at Terashima's hands.

Therefore, from Lao Zhao's point of view at this time, the owners of the first three swords can match, and all three of them are swordsmen who never returned after the duel with Terashima before, and later found their bodies in the wasteland, and the last one ...... Judging from the dialogue between the two of them, it is that Terashima, who is plotting badly tonight, has not run away.

Thinking about it this way, Kang Haijiao's kind of "abnormality" not long ago was actually acting with himself, and he can match it.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhao couldn't help but tremble with fear.

After being afraid, anger will follow.

"Okay, you Kang Haijiao, it turns out that you are an undercover agent sent by another gang to Wujian Villa! You are hiding so deeply! You kid didn't do it sooner or later, but he killed Terashima when the task of your sixteen swords was about to be completed, and he planned to capture our 'connector' in the future...... Hmph, you're planning to 'close the net' and expose our plan in one fell swoop, right? How can I allow you to ruin our Xiao Zhuang master's big business!"

Lao Zhao thought about it while running in the dark passage.

Most of this underground passage leads to a dry well in the city wall of Dengzhou City, and most of it is naturally formed, and only about one-tenth of the part (mainly the section of the broken temple and the part connecting the dry well) is artificially opened.

There is no doubt that the residences of the other five connectors are not far from the dry well, so it is not convenient for him to "go to work" .......

Lao Zhao took advantage of the night to crawl out of the well, quickly woke up all his colleagues, and then when he was rushing back with the five people, he told the "information" he had "eavesdropped" in the dark passage with emotion.

As soon as the five of them heard him speak so definitely and in detail, and with the testimony of Terashima's sword, they would not question anything more.

So, there was this scene of the six of them ambushing Kang Haijiao in the ruined temple.

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

Time to return to the present moment......

Accompanied by the shouts of the six people, six swords, six sword styles...... It has been killed from all sides of the sea Jiao.

Although Kang Haijiao's light skills are high, he is still not easy to deal with when he is suddenly attacked from six directions in this indoor environment.

Between the lightning and the fire, but seeing Kang Haijiao, he instinctively jumped forward, and with a move "Rabbit Rising and Falling" sideways in the air, he drilled through the gap between the two sword blades, and then supported the ground with one hand, wanting to spin around and get up again.

But the opponent wouldn't let him get his wish, and before Kang Haijiao's hand on the ground could exert his strength, another sword swept in the oblique thorn, cutting off a piece of flesh on his forearm, if the tip of the sword went one more mile, it should have rubbed against the bone.

Kang Haijiao was in pain, and his strength was overwhelmed, but he still reluctantly moved, and he turned around and turned back, rushing towards the gate of the temple.

As he fled, he shouted: "Stop! It's a misunderstanding, it's me, Kang Haijiao!"

However, all that was answered was a sneer and a sentence that someone said for some reason: "You are the one who killed!"

Kang Haijiao's mind was also messed up, he couldn't think of what happened between his back and forth, and the situation in front of him couldn't help but distract him from thinking about what he had and didn't have.

Different from the mercenaries who were temporarily recruited to "do dirty work" like Kang Haijiao, the six connectors are all descendants of Wujian Villa, although the martial arts of these six people are not as good as Kang Haijiao and Terashima, but for Xiao Zhun, they are "their own people", which is why they can engage in intelligence work as "connectors", and the real dangerous things are all done by Sidao and Kang Haijiao.

So what is the martial arts of these six people?

Let's put it this way: one-on-one is by no means Kang Haijiao's opponent; two-on-one, it also has a slight advantage, but if it is three-on-one...... That is, the qualitative change has changed, and Kang Haijiao can basically only escape.

And when it comes to the situation of six to one, coupled with the fact that they have the first hand to sneak attack, it is impossible for the Kang Haijiao to retreat with his whole body.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, Kang Haijiao's move to approach the door had undoubtedly been predicted a long time ago, so before he could stabilize his footing after completing his previous action, another sword came down the third path and swept his calf.

This sword only caused flesh wounds, but it still made Kang Haijiao lose his balance for a short time.

When Kang Haijiao staggered, the other five swords also swarmed up, each making their own move.

In the blink of an eye, his ribs, flanks, arms, shoulders and neck were all hung with color, some places were skin and flesh, and some places had been pierced out of holes.

Kang Haijiao is no stranger to this kind of imminent death, which is very important - a person who has already walked through the ghost gate once, and someone who has never experienced that kind of near-death situation, reacts very differently when faced with a similar situation.

At this critical moment, Kang Haijiao reacted quickly, he first did not hesitate to overdraft all the internal force that could be mobilized at this moment, and with his innate wild force, he forced back the six people who were bullied with a swinging arm and fist action, and then he immediately closed the acupoints near the various wounds on his torso, and sank a mouthful of dantian qi downward, followed by all the meridians to his feet, stepped on the force, and then jumped up......

At that moment, he flew out of the temple gate almost upside down in a "lying" posture, and gradually fine-tuned his body in the air, so that his feet landed.

And how could those six joints let this Kang Haijiao, who was already at the end of the crossbow, run away? Naturally, they all quickly chased after him, and killed them with quick swords.

Kang Haijiao gritted his teeth, twisted his body and turned around desperately, and ran away, but he was hit again before he got up, and he was slashed three times on his back before he ran away.

"Chase! He can't run far!"

This judgment is very correct, with Kang Haijiao's current injury, it is impossible to run at his usual fastest speed, and he can't run for too long...... Even if he can distance himself from his pursuers for a certain amount of time, the bloodstains he leaves along the way will eventually attract them to him.

And so, in the darkest hour before sunrise.

Above this wilderness, one man ran and six men chased.

There are not many choices left for Kang Haijiao, and there is not much time for him to choose, so let's put it simply...... It is nothing more than the words "survive in death".

Eventually, his bloodstains were found to have disappeared into a large river with a strong current.

The joints did not give up easily, and after sunrise they divided into two routes, one to the other side of the river to investigate, and the other to follow the river downstream.

These two teams searched for a whole day with the mentality of seeing people alive and seeing corpses when they died, but they found nothing.

At this point, it doesn't make much sense to look for it any longer, after all, the river eventually leads to the sea......

Considering Kang Haijiao's injury, as soon as the six of them combined, they determined that eighty percent of Kang Haijiao's body had flowed into the sea to feed the fish.

Later, when they sent the sword to Xiao Zhun, they also reported according to this conclusion, so even the owner of Xiao Zhuang was deceived into it......

Xiao Zhun didn't know from beginning to end that there were Sun Yihe and Lin Yuancheng in this night's incident, and he thought that Kang Haijiao was really an undercover agent sent to him by a certain "gang leader".

What's even more amazing is that after that, Xiao Zhun reasoned and analyzed by himself through various intelligence, and came to the conclusion that "Kang Haijiao was sent by the Cao gang".

Do you want to...... This Kang Haijiao had been in the Cao Gang in the past, and then he took a few brothers to leave the Cao Gang as a thief for a few years, and was silent for a while, and when he came out of the rivers and lakes again, he turned into a superior martial artist...... It's a bit weird to think about, right?

So can it be considered that his original act of leaving the Cao Gang is the same as Chen Yongren's departure from the police academy to be an old boy?

In addition, everyone knows that the Cao Gang is now powerful, Di Buti is also ambitious, and the surname Di often engages in some things that make the righteous way despicable, such as finding someone to sneak attack competitors and the like...... So he is also very in line with the kind of "helper" who will be placed undercover everywhere.

To sum up, it is not outrageous that Xiao Zhun will come up with this answer.

Even Sun Yihuan, the initiator of all this, didn't expect that a line he casually made up tonight would become the fuse that affected the future fate of the two gangsters.

Of course, that's another story.
