Section 589 Trap by step
In the bedroom, which was covered with soft Persian carpets, Liu Yu looked at the dazzling ornaments and nanmu furniture in front of him, and frowned slightly.
The pain in his abdomen quickly spread throughout his body, causing cold sweat to dripp his forehead. He hurriedly sat cross-legged on the floor of the delicate velvet quilt and performed subtle fingering.
His pupils narrowed, glowing with a golden sheen, and a wisp of transparent Qi oozed from the tip of his right finger, slowly swimming around his fingertips. Soon, this seemingly tame Qi became unruly, vaguely as if it had given birth to hideous facial features, and kept struggling to scream at him.
There was some inexplicable power in this scream, which made him feel extremely painful, and life was worse than death. If he had a sword by his side at this moment, he would have difficulty suppressing the urge to kill himself.
Under the strong suppression of Qi, the scales could no longer appear on the surface of his body, and the power of the Great Snake of Ten Thousand Spirits in his body reached the end of the crossbow.
He gritted his teeth, trying not to cry out in pain.
After about two sticks of incense, the Qi Fang swimming on the top of his fingertips stopped, as if the naughty child who had had enough trouble finally planned to be quiet.
The pain in his body faded. While panting, he danced his fingers and gradually withdrew Qi into his body, and the golden color in his pupils gradually faded, returning to the same as ordinary people.
He took advantage of the break when he left the illness to quickly turn his brain and think about the current situation. He walked to the window and opened the curtains, which were facing the crowded Cao Song Temple.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the sentence sent by Di Xin, "If you want to break the Duke of Zhou, it lies in the Cao family" still echoed in his ears.
And the reason why he is able to live smoothly in this inn opposite Cao Song Temple is undoubtedly due to the guidance of his ten "loyal" subordinates.
On the surface, Di Xin was helping him, the ten subordinates were helping him, and everyone was helping him, even Sun Yu.
Everything happened naturally, and naturally it was a little suspicious.
He even had an unfounded conjecture: it seemed that everyone was trying to put him in the forefront, hoping that he would come forward to solve the mysterious Cao Song Temple. As for why, it is not known.
He had vaguely heard people say that this Cao Song Temple was inextricably linked to the Qingfeng Society, which had recently become famous in Chang'an City. But he didn't have the slightest clue about the origin of the Qingfeng Society.
He looked at the smoking incense burner at the entrance of Cao Song Temple, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He sniffed his nose vigorously, but he couldn't smell the slightest smell.
Generally speaking, the smell of incense is strong and can travel hundreds of steps. Therefore, there should be something strange in the copper basin in the hands of those boys at the gate of the temple, otherwise there will never be such a strange thing.
He sighed deeply, never feeling as lonely as he did now. When he was on the grassland, even in the most difficult moments, there were still companions around him who were willing to fight with him, as well as Khitan men who were willing to rush with him. But in this Central Plains, the human heart is really unfathomable, making him elusive.
It was getting dark, and the moment the night fell completely, he finally made up his mind. He leaned out of the window, leaped out, and darted over the tightly connected dilapidated eaves of Dead Man's Street.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed in a dark corner outside the inn, and with a move, four black shadows appeared behind him. These five people are the hidden guards of the Falcon Group, and the person at the head is Tang Biao.
Tang Biao looked at Liu Yu who was far away and smiled coldly, and instructed the four subordinates: "This person is not good at light skills, you don't have to lose it, otherwise His Royal Highness King Kui will ask about it, and that Sun Yu will sue us again." ”
The four of them hurriedly agreed, and they all started their light body kung fu and chased in the direction where Liu Yu left.
In the darkness of the night, their bodies are like agile wild cats, and they are extremely light.
The four of them followed Liu Yu's thunderous footsteps and quickly caught up with him, skillfully maintaining a distance of fifty paces.
But not long after, Liu Yu in front seemed to notice that someone was following behind, and quickly disappeared from the field of vision of the four people when he bypassed a corner of the house. Immediately after, his footsteps stopped ringing.
The four were shocked, and one of them asked, "Could it be that he is hiding?"
"Be careful, follow slowly. "Another humane.
The four of them unanimously pulled out their black knives from their waists and tiptoed to the corner of the house.
Just as the four of them approached the corner of the house, a burst of white shadows suddenly rushed towards the four of them. The four of them are all battle-hardened deathfighters, and their reactions are extremely fast, and they all dance their knives to block.
But the white shadow was like a gust of wind, easily passing through the sword light of the four people, and struck straight at them.
"No, it's drugged!" one of them shouted.
The four of them began to stand unsteadily, their bodies staggered, and they fell like sacks on the tiles on the roof one after another, making a crisp sound.
The corners of their mouths were drooling, their eyes blinked and closed, and they quickly lost consciousness, like four dead cats in the moonlight.
At this moment, a figure leaned out of the shadows, and in the moonlight, I saw that this person's figure was burly and tall, and his scarred face looked very resolute.
Liu Yu slowly squatted down beside the four of them, wondering whether to break the necks of these people.
He stretched out his big hand and stuck it on the neck of one of them, but he accidentally touched a hard object, and when he looked closer, he saw a bamboo plaque hanging from the neck of this person, and the thin rope used to pass through the bamboo hole was very strong.
He pulled out the bamboo plaque from the neckline of this person, and the word "morality" engraved on the bamboo plaque was clearly visible in the moonlight.
He put the bamboo card under his nose and sniffed it a few times, his expression quickly became complicated, and then his eyes flashed.
Suddenly under the circumstances, he decided to change his mind again.
He had planned to stay on the street of the dead until the third watch, and then go to investigate the anomalies in Cao Song's temple. But now he felt that if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would fall into the trap of the enemy again.
He decided to think differently and go to a place that the enemy would not expect. If he's lucky, maybe someone there will solve his current questions.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and for the first time in the three years since he came to Chang'an, he felt that he was no longer so lonely.
"Perhaps, this is the turning point. He thought to himself.
He let go of the hand that was holding the guard's neck and decided to spare the lives of the four, and then jumped off the eaves and blended into the noisy crowd of dead man's streets. For him, who is not good at light skills, this may be the best way to fish in troubled waters and get rid of tracking.
He didn't notice it at all, and a young man was staring at his back on a street corner not far away.
On the young man's shoulder squatted a black cat, whose eyes were as green as emerald.
This young man with a cat is none other than Ding Tie, the corners of his mouth slanted slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile, "This time I've become smarter!"
He pondered for a moment, "I just don't know where he's going, if it's not to wait for Ah Zhen, it's better to catch up and take a look!"
However, he couldn't get out after all, because according to the news brought back by the black cat, Ah Zhen was on his way to the Dead Man's Street.
He had already seen the hidden guard who brought her here, and this person's name should be Wang Gu.
"Can't let Ah Zhen have trouble. He thought to himself, clenching his fists involuntarily.
In the moonlight, his dark and delicate face showed a rare hint of nervousness.
