Chapter 204: Three People (Four Watches)
Qin Ke was slightly stunned, and before he could ask what Gao Yishui meant, he saw Gao Yishui suddenly frown, and a whisper was like a breeze: "Someone is following us." ”
In just a moment, Qin Ke immediately reacted, as his qi and blood moved slightly, the wind vision technique had already unfolded, and wisps of soft wind were like invisible messengers, invisibly, but the information in those shadows was transmitted to his ears.
"Three people. Qin Ke closed his eyes, he was still further perceiving, "One is in the alley, one is on the roof on the west side, and the other is pretending to be in the corner...... Peeing?"
Gao Yishui didn't expect Qin Ke to react so quickly, and he was able to perceive the location of these people so accurately in such a short period of time, he was a little surprised, but at this time, it was impossible for him to spare time to ask more.
He only nodded slightly: "What do you say? Three nails, you or me?"
"You, can you do it?" Qin Ke whispered, "I remember that you haven't practiced martial arts, right?"
"Nonsense. I'm a piano player, why do I want to learn martial arts and get a stinky sweat?" Gao Yishui said righteously: "Okay, okay, you go, I'll help you take Miss Ning Xin, you get out and come to the Fulu Inn on Ginkgo Street to meet." ”
"Good. Qin Ke replied briefly.
At this time, not long after nightfall, the street was bustling, he looked at the scattered crowd around him, and gradually reined in the art of wind vision, to maintain such a large area, and there were so many idle voices, if he continued, he was afraid that he would be exhausted by the time he really faced these nails.
The three of them deliberately walked to a street corner, Gao Yishui took Ning Xin to pretend to be looking at rouge gouache at a stall, while Qin Ke continued to walk forward for about thirty steps, and immediately disappeared at the next corner.
"What's going on?" Ning Xin felt a little uneasy in her heart, rubbing those seemingly delicate rouge boxes in her hands, she didn't dare to look up, she could only ask worriedly: "How could someone follow us? Could it be Lan Yuxuan's people?"
Gao Yishui also lowered his head slightly, one of his hands lightly rested on the guqin on his back, his fingertips touched the strings, and with a smile on his face, he picked up a fat powder box and handed it to Ning Xin in a fake way, but he said: "I don't know, but I think that God of Wealth is not so petty that he will make such a big fight for a hundred gold and a woman who has redeemed his body...... Come, let's go this way. ”
The man in black on the roof reacted the fastest, but Qin Ke's movements just now were too natural and too fast, and when he looked again, he couldn't find Qin Ke's shadow anymore.
"How could there be no one missing?" he cautiously stepped on the tiles and jumped onto the roof of another restaurant, only for an instant, his pupils shrank sharply.
A silver sword light looked pale and sharp against the moonlight!
And when he hurriedly pulled out the dagger in his hand to resist, the sword light had already arrived in front of him.
The wind in the night is not small, Qin Ke's figure will only be faster in the wind, and the Bodhisattva sword in his hand is like a firefly streamer in the night, and it suddenly "bites" the edge of the dagger of the man in black.
Qin Ke suddenly exerted his strength, the Bodhisattva fiercely penetrated into the body of the dagger Jingtie, the roof sounded a "clank" with a crisp sound, and the half-cut dagger spun like a residual leaf in the wind, stuck between the two pieces of Daiwa, the assassin saw that the Bodhisattva's sword blade had almost reached his throat at this moment, and his legs stomped suddenly in shock, and he didn't know how many tiles he had stepped on, but he himself also used this power to fly straight backwards.
However, Qin Ke's speed was as fast as the wind!
When the figure of the man in black was unstable, Qin Ke had already attached to his body again, but this time Qin Ke changed the sword to his left hand, and carried the sword behind him with one hand, and as he let out a low shout, his right fist was thrown out from left to right, hitting the chest of the man in black.
The black man was suddenly knocked out in the other direction like a leather ball, and soon his body touched a roof, and the sound of "bang-la-la" was endless, and the formation of broken tiles even startled the guests who were drinking and discussing in the restaurant, and someone immediately shouted: "Shopkeeper! What about the shopkeeper! Your roof has fallen dust, and you have destroyed all the dishes on Lao Tzu's table! Damn, if Lao Tzu is stoned to death here, can you afford to pay for it?"
And under the cold moonlight, Qin Ke was condescending, he unconsciously stabbed a cold light in his eyes, looked at the man in black who fell to the ground and clutched his heart, and silently inserted the Bodhisattva back into the sheath, and he used the scabbard to gently block the body of the man in black rolling down, which did not let him fall directly from the roof of the building and fall to his death.
"Who sent you?" Qin Ke tried his best to make his voice as indifferent and majestic as possible.
The man in black didn't speak, just looked at Qin Ke, as if waiting for something.
Qin Ke had a gust of wind howling in his ears, he didn't look at it, but his body subconsciously jerked back two steps, and several crossbow arrows "just happened" to swish through in front of him, and one person climbed onto the roof with one hand.
Qin Ke frowned, he only felt that this was not like an assassin, but like a veteran who had retreated from the battlefield, and that fierce momentum he had only seen and felt in the body of the Jingwu veteran, such as the "Lei Jun" who took away the man in white on the street that day.
And the habit of that guy before the crossbow bolt just now also made him feel a little sure in his heart - it is indeed like a well-trained soldier.
Could it be that these people have a military background? But Qin Ke quickly denied this idea, if it was a military background, but the man in black who was knocked to the ground by him did not have this iron-blooded momentum.
But no matter who it was, Qin Ke's top priority was naturally to restrain the person in front of him, and just as he avoided the two swords and was about to draw his sword to face the battle, the sharp scream of crossbow arrows sounded behind him again.
Qin Ke's eyes changed, and while avoiding the single knife, the whole person churned up, the crossbow arrow passed under his waist and swept over the shoulder of the man in black, the man in black seemed to have already expected this, his hand did not stop, and the single knife slashed towards Qin Ke's waist, as if he was going to cut Qin Ke's waist!
After a dull collision, Qin Ke fell to the ground, and the Bodhisattva's scabbard blocked the single knife of the man in black, but the power still passed down the scabbard to his wrist.
Qin Ke raised his leg and kicked out violently, and the man in black raised his two swords with both hands and crossed the front, but he was still suppressed by this force and took two steps back, and the man's eyes immediately became vigilant and cautious.
Qin Ke turned his head, and the moonlight illuminated a hand crossbow on the ground, its appearance was not like an ordinary hand crossbow, but quite a bit of ingenuity, the tiny mechanism formed a lock on the top, and as the hair inside moved the gear to drive the chain on the crossbow machine, the crossbow machine automatically shot arrows at a certain moment, without the need for someone to pull the trigger again.
The first action of the man in black just now was not to slash, but to throw away the crossbow in his hand, Qin Ke thought at first that he was just because the crossbow had shot arrows and had become a useless waste, so he would simply stay aside......
But I didn't expect this crossbow machine to have such a ruthless design.
If it weren't for Qin Ke's cultivation that has improved a lot now, he would have to eat this arrow if he had just come out of Daoxiang Village.
And this man in black was beyond his expectations, he didn't show too much strength at the beginning, even Qin Ke had a preconceived idea that this one should also be a person with strong martial arts but no cultivation because of the man in black who was easily knocked down by him just now.
However, with the slash just now, he had already clearly felt the huge momentum generated by the other party's qi and blood infusion, although he also immediately judged that the person's cultivation was not as good as his own, but if that person suddenly erupted again, he would also be a little tricky to deal with.
Qin Ke looked at him and said with a solemn look in his eyes, "Who are you?"
The man in black didn't speak, but just laughed coldly, and the laughter was hoarse, like a night owl chirping in the night sky.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the one who had pretended to be relieved in the corner also rolled onto the roof, his face also covered with a black cloth, and a soft sword in his hand.
The soft sword, Qin Ke had seen it once, it was in the arsenal of Gao Changgong's mansion, Gao Changgong actually didn't like to use this kind of weak and boneless weapon, because it was too light and too thin, it was difficult to use it in battle formations, and it was only suitable for fighting alone or assassinating.
But that doesn't mean he can't use it, as when he walked the rivers and lakes as a young man, he hid a soft sword made of fine iron in his belt, which could naturally be a sharp weapon against the enemy if it was really necessary - but until he returned home many years later, he didn't meet an opponent who could force him to use the soft sword at his waist.
The three of them use different weapons, and their moves and movements are very different, perhaps because of their different backgrounds...... It's just that Qin Ke couldn't figure out what kind of purpose these three people had, why did they want to target him and Gao Yishui? Could it be that it could be ...... Was it Lan Yuxuan's boss who found out that he was just a petty pawn, and he had nothing to do with Zhuge Wanling, the head of Jingwu Chaotang, so he regretted and wanted to get back the hundred gold?
It's not impossible.
The noise in the house was still there, only to hear that the shopkeeper of the restaurant was constantly making amends to the guests, and while shouting and asking Xiao Er to move the ladder to see if it was another bastard child who climbed onto the roof and was messing around.
And at the moment when Qin Ke was a little distracted, the two people in front of him moved.
The hand of the man holding the knife was knotted, as strong as steel, he no longer had any hidden strength from him, and slashed out with a knife, with such a strong force, coupled with the speed of lightning, I am afraid that ordinary people will be killed instantly under the light of the knife.
At the same time, the swordsman with the soft sword twisted his body and tangled like a snake.
