Section 714 Midnight Raid
If calculated according to the time when she opened her eyes, Xue Hongmei should have woken up in the second half of the night. But if you count it according to the time of consciousness, it should be an hour after the two bastard male disciples left.
Her head was dizzy, and all she could hear was a commotion outside the house. In the distance, where a large number of people gathered, the preachers would change every once in a while, and these people spoke with a frustrating and heroic spirit, and they sounded like they should be the leaders of the various sects. These people are veterans of the scene, and they know the rules well, and they deliberately pause for a moment when it comes to important things. The audience was not stupid, and they were greeted by a downpour of applause and cheers. In the course of each leader's speech, there will always be four or five such enthusiastic scenes. If the number of times is less, it can only mean that the person is not good at mixing in the rivers and lakes, and his connections are not wide enough, which is something that people in the martial arts despise.
Judging from Xue Hongmei's cynical eyes, although the heads of these factions speak brightly, they are actually very dirty in their hearts. Although she regarded Liu Yu as her number one enemy, she thought to herself that she could not say such scoundrel words as these people. These people keep saying that they want to crusade against Liu Yu for the righteousness of the world, but in the end, they still can't get rid of the sharp word in the unhappiness.
Liu Yu competed in the world as a Jianghu sect, and these martial arts leaders were afraid that if he really defeated the Huangchao army, the Zhangjian Sect would definitely become the first sect in the whole world, thus squeezing out the survival place of other Jianghu sects.
The word Jianghu sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is just another division of interests outside the imperial court. After hundreds of thousands of bloody battles in history, the various sects have easily lined up their rankings, drawn a clear line between each other, and guarded their own one-third of an acre of land, not allowing any other sect to infringe.
This practice is quite vulgar, and it is not fundamentally different from the wild dogs in the mountains dividing their territory by urinating, but there is a practical reason for it. After all, man is also one of the animals, but he is slightly smarter than animals. Animals fight for food, but people fight for more than that, some people fight for profit, some people fight for fame, in short, it is much more complicated than animals, and it is much more greedy.
Once Liu Yu leads the sword sect to rise strongly, it will definitely destroy the pattern that the various factions of the martial arts have formed through hundreds of years of fighting. After the balance of interests carefully maintained between the various factions of the martial arts is destroyed, a bloody martial arts dispute will ensue.
From a certain selfish point of view, these people gathered on Mount Hua today are all "people of insight" among various sects. They are not noble enough, even very insidious, but they see far enough. They held high the banner of crusading against Liu Yu, claiming that this person had broken the rules of the rivers and lakes and was an unforgivable martial arts sinner, but in fact, this sentence was not wrong, because the major factions behind them were martial arts, and all those who hurt their interests were the scum of martial arts.
Xue Hongmei is a person who came out of the life of nine deaths, and has experienced all kinds of dangers in the world, but she can't get used to what these people do. Although she hated Liu Yu, she preferred to kill this person in a direct way, rather than finding some bright reason to cover up her greed and ruthlessness.
She patiently listened to the boiling meeting through the wall, wondering that the snow outside was clearly cold, but these people were screaming louder and louder one by one, as if their enthusiasm was so high that even their blood was boiling.
The conference was lively until nightfall, and not long after, the house not far from her began to sound the sound of staggering, thinking that the children of the dozens of sects had finally gathered together, how could they easily let go of such an opportunity to make friendships.
The aroma of duck and shochu spreads throughout the courtyard of Zhenyue Palace, and the smell is especially clear in the cold firewood room.
From beginning to end, no one came to the firewood room to bring food to Xue Hongmei. According to Xue Hongmei's estimate, these people should want to make her faint from hunger and make her body weak and easy to control.
She endured the rumbling in her stomach, and it was easy to hold on until the second half of the night, when the banquet had dispersed, and the entire Zhenyue Palace was quiet, and the true qi left in her body by the Forensic Zen Master and the other four had weakened slightly. These martial arts masters should have misestimated her strength, and after such a long time, no one came to make up some acupuncture points for her.
She tried to use her true qi to hit the acupuncture points again, but it had an effect, and she was overjoyed in her heart, so she gradually increased the strength of her true qi, only to feel that the sealed acupuncture points in various places on her body gradually loosened, and the blood began to flow slowly.
When the numbness in her body subsided, a heart-wrenching sensation came from her lower body, as if her body had been torn in half. She lifted her slightly movable neck and looked down with difficulty, only to see bloodstains and sticky clothes.
"These brutes!" Xue Hongmei scolded secretly in her heart as she continued to pound the acupoint while enduring the pain.
After about two incense sticks, she finally rushed through the acupuncture points that were sealed all over her body, tidied up her messy clothes slightly, and tiptoed towards the door.
She put her ear to the door panel and listened for a long time, judging from the small sound coming from outside the door, there should not be many people guarding her, only about two at most.
The guards did not make footsteps, indicating that they were too sleepy to move. At the same time, from the faint rustle of clothes rubbing against the occasional outside the house, it can be discerned that the two people may not have slept to death, but are still vigilant from time to time to the movement of her side in the house.
Xue Hongmei held her breath and listened carefully to the breathing of the two people. After a while, she could already hear that the two men's breathing was uneven, rapid and short, and their internal strength was relatively low, and they were definitely no match for her, so she decided to rush out of the house and take a risk.
She gently broke the latch with her internal force, and at the same time walked out of the house quickly, and by the moonlight she quickly saw the faces of the two guards who were the two young male disciples who had insulted her during the day.
It's not that enemies don't see each other!
When Xue Hongmei saw the two of them, her eyes immediately turned red.
Due to the cold weather on the snowy night, although the two male disciples had their eyes closed, they slept very lightly, so that as soon as Xue Hongmei escaped from the house, the two of them opened their eyes in unison.
The two never expected that Xue Hongmei would escape easily, and just as they were about to shout for support, Xue Hongmei had already choked her throat with her left and right hands respectively.
Xue Hongmei showed a cold but happy smile on her face, and her ten fingers were gently forced, embedded in the skin of the necks of the two of them, and she felt the warm current under the skin.
With a slight crackling sound, she pinched off their necks, and then her fingers slid down the bloody hole between their necks in an orderly manner, cutting a long gap in their torsos, until they both had their stomachs broken and their internal organs were exposed in the moonlight, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
