Chapter 103: Road Encounter
Liangzhou.
In a certain section of the mountain range, there is a plain and unremarkable mountain, and a huge space has been carved out of the belly of the mountain.
Dozens of rooms, large and small, are built along the mountain walls, and these rooms are arranged in layers and connected by stone paths.
In the middle of the mountainside is a small square, facing the large naturally formed hole at the top of the mountain, and it is because of this large hole that the sun can shine through it, filling the space in the belly of the mountain with light.
The space in the belly of this mountain is the mountain gate of the hidden killing gate.
At this time, in a house on the third floor of the mountain, an old man with half-white hair and a thin face was standing behind a desk practicing calligraphy.
A sturdy middle-aged man hurriedly walked into the room and bowed to the old man: "Elder!"
The old man did not raise his head, nor did he make a sound, but continued to write.
It wasn't until a pair of words were written that the old man put down his pen, raised his head and said slowly, "What's the matter?"
"Back to Elder!"
The middle-aged man stood with his eyes on the ground: "Wuwei City Flying Pigeon Spread the Book, our stronghold and spare stronghold in Wuwei City were destroyed, and the shopkeeper Zhao, the one-eyed mother-in-law, and Jing Ba, who went to check the news of Jing Jiu, were killed. ”
"What?"
The old man's eyes gradually became stern, and his gentle tone was fierce and murderous: "Who did it?"
According to the shopkeeper who escaped, it was Jing Jiu's mission goal to do it. ”
The middle-aged man felt the murderous aura emanating from the old man's first-class early realm, and he didn't dare to come out, and his head was lowered.
"Huh?"
The old man's momentum slowed down slightly, and after a moment's thought, he asked, "Is that the boy in the late-stage realm of the second-rate realm?"
"Yes, Elder!"
"Humph!"
The old man put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "It seems that I have underestimated him before, I can kill the one-eyed mother-in-law and Jing Ba, his strength should be far beyond the same level, this deal is a loss, and it is the two boys in Wuwei City who are cheap." ”
"Back to Elder!"
The middle-aged man still bowed: "The flying pigeon passed the book and brought back a piece of news, Zhao Zichen and Lu Kexiao's two employers were assassinated in Yixiang Building last night!"
"Dead?"
The old man frowned and groaned for a while, and sneered: "Judging from the time, it should have been killed by that young man, it seems that the young man already knows who is going to kill him." ”
The old man sneered again, then came out from behind his desk, paced the room with his hands behind his back, and said:
"Although the employer is dead, we have collected the money, and the task is still there, not to mention, he still killed our people, we can't let him go, let Jing Qi continue the mission, Jing Qi has second-rate peak strength, it should be no problem. ”
"Yes, Elder!"
The middle-aged man bowed, turned around and exited the room, but was stopped by the old man:
"Wait a minute!"
"Yes, Elder, please command!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped, turned around and bowed.
"Let Nan Qi go to Wuwei City to rebuild the stronghold, and let him tell the two families in Wuwei City who killed them. ”
The old man said, and sneered again: "Hmph! Destroy our two strongholds, then don't want the forces behind him, we can't do it ourselves because of the door rules, let the Cao Gang and the Lu family do it!"
"Yes, Elder!"
The middle-aged man answered, exited the room and hurriedly gave the order.
......
"Driving ......"
On the official road leading from Wuwei City to Zhongdu, a young man wearing a white purple mist pattern power suit and a young man in a blue power suit galloped on their horses.
This teenager and young man are Luo Chen and Zheng Xiaoliu who went to Zhongdu to participate in the auction. The two of them left Wuwei City yesterday afternoon, spent the night in a small town in the evening, and hurried to the center early in the morning.
Zhongdu is located in Zhongzhou, Zhongzhou is in the center of Daqian Kyushu, Wuwei City is more than 1,000 miles away from Zhongdu, all the way to the mountains and rivers are far away, only land can walk.
Walk until noon.
"Huh, why are there so many people in front of you?"
Zheng Xiaoliu looked at the crowd gathered in the grove on the edge of the official road in front of him and said curiously.
"Hmm! Let's go and have a look!"
Luo Chen said, slowing down his horse and walking slowly towards the front.
"Evil, evil......"
"yes! ”
"It's too miserable to die, these cult people can't die well!"
......
Walking closer, listening to the discussion of the crowd of onlookers, Luo Chen stood outside the crowd on horseback and looked into the grove.
I saw that the grove had been surrounded by the officials of the government, and there were four corpses lying horizontally inside, a puppet was fiddling with the corpses, and there were two young men and women in the late third-rate realm, wearing flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives, surveying the scene.
"The Man of the Six Doors!"
Zheng Xiaoliu touched Luo Chen with his arm, and nodded his chin at the young man and woman.
"Hmm!"
Luo Chen nodded, but his eyes were on the female guard with the six doors, and he always felt that the female guard's eyebrows were a little familiar.
The female guard, who was looking down to investigate the scene, felt something, looked up, and happened to meet Luo Chen's gaze.
Seeing a young man looking at him suspiciously, the female guard didn't know why, but she still nodded slightly at the young man.
Seeing this, Luo Chen also smiled and nodded in response.
"Guard Qin, what's wrong? Do you know that kid?"
The young male guard glanced at Luo Chen and asked the female guard.
"I don't know!"
The female guard shook her head, frowning as she wondered if she had seen the boy somewhere.
"Then how do you ......?"
"It's okay!
The female guard, making sure that she had never seen the boy, shook her head, and lowered her head and went about her business.
Seeing this, the male guard shrugged his shoulders, raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and continued to work.
"Huh...... Young Master Luo, look at those corpses. ”
At this moment, Zheng Xiaoliu pointed to the corpses and said loudly.
Hearing this, Luo Chen looked away from the female guard at the six doors and looked at the four corpses.
"Huh, how are they?"
Luo Chen's brows furrowed slightly, these people were the fat-headed and big-eared people who said they were going to participate in the auction at the Chunfeng Teahouse in Wuwei City yesterday morning.
"That's them!"
Zheng Xiaoliu nodded: "Look at the wounds on their bodies, the arteries of the whole body have been cut, and the corpses are white, obviously the blood of the whole body has dried up and died, it seems that the cult did it." ”
"Hmmm......"
Luo Chen put his hands around his chest and touched his chin with one hand: "These people also have a third-rate middle and late stage realm, and there is no trace of a fight at the scene, but they were killed like this, it seems that these cult people are really not simple!"
"Hmm!"
Zheng Xiaoliu nodded, looking at several corpses with a solemn expression. He is also a third-rate late-stage realm, and when he suddenly saw these corpses, Zheng Xiaoliu suddenly felt sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox for some reason.
"Let's go! it's getting late, let's keep going!"
After looking at it for a while, Luo Chen said, turned the horse's head, and slowly walked towards the official road.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiaoliu also drove his horse to follow.
