Chapter 138: Secret
In the rivers and lakes, there are only three kinds of people, passers-by, enemies, and friends. But not everyone can distinguish so clearly, because the reality is always cruel, no one is 100% sure what the identity of all the people close to them is, it is possible to become friends, it may be just passers-by, but the most fearful thing is that the original passers-by or even friends suddenly put a knife on your neck one day, maybe you will wake up at that moment.
A man in a gray cotton jacket kept shuttling through the crowd, glancing behind him from time to time, with a solemn expression, as if he was watching for something, and as if he was hiding from someone, for fear of being discovered. I walked for a long time in a panic, and then suddenly ducked into a small alley.
Unintentionally followed behind this person, quietly hiding in the crowd, with a trace of doubt on his face, he didn't understand why this person appeared here, and the trace of doubt that had been buried in his heart was even more incomprehensible, so he decided to secretly follow this person to see who he was and what he wanted to do.
But just as he was stunned, the figure of the man suddenly disappeared, and the shadow of the man could no longer be found in the crowd. Wuxin frowned and hurriedly chased out.
In a narrow and dirty alley, there is a lot of garbage of all kinds, and it emits an unpleasant stench that makes people breathless.
And in the depths of this alley, there are two people standing, facing each other, one of them is the sneaky man wearing a gray cotton jacket.
On the other side, there were more than a dozen people, led by a middle-aged man in a white robe, and behind him stood more than a dozen subordinates dressed in black. There was already a bit of tension between the two people, but although the man in the gray cloth cotton jacket was alone, he had no fear at all, and he looked confident.
"I didn't expect you to chase you here, shouldn't I feel honored to be so attached to the importance you have expressed?" said the man in the gray cloth cotton jacket with a treacherous sneer on his face and a vicious look in his eyes.
The middle-aged man in a white robe took a step forward and said slowly: "For people like you, we have always killed all the chickens and dogs, and we have never left any troubles. Although his face was calm, there was a different kind of majesty, and no one would think that what he had just said was a joke.
I saw that the man in the gray cloth cotton jacket sneered twice, squinted his eyes and said: "Say it as if you are so sacred, you don't have to say it so high-sounding, you and I are the same, it's just to achieve our own ulterior purposes." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the black-clothed men standing behind the middle-aged man in white, and continued: "But you can't kill me, I can escape from you for the first time, and I can escape the second and third times." A sneer of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth as he spoke, as if he did not take the other party who was obviously superior in numbers in his eyes.
The middle-aged man in white couldn't help but smile, and said coldly: "If I can catch you for the first time, I can catch you for the second time, last time it was because someone went to save you, otherwise do you think you can leave alive? Today you are the only one, I see how you can escape!"
The man in the gray cloth jacket listened to the words of the middle-aged man in white, and couldn't help laughing, as if he had seen something strange, he looked at the middle-aged man in white, tilted his head, and said with a sneer: "Who told you that I am only one person today?"
At this moment, more than twenty people wearing bloody clothes and red veils suddenly appeared from the surrounding walls, and they jumped into the alley one after another, and stood behind the people in gray cloth cotton jackets. No wonder he is so confident, because he is indeed more than one person, not only is he not alone, but he has twice as many helpers than the person opposite.
Seeing the group of people in red who suddenly appeared, the middle-aged man in white frowned, the expression on his face became gloomy, revealing a trace of anger, and he looked at the person in the gray cloth jacket and said coldly: "It turns out that they are in a group with you, and you gave me another reason to kill you." As he spoke, his face became more and more ugly, and he had already touched the long sword on his waist, and he couldn't help but make a move.
The man in the gray cloth cotton jacket sneered twice, and said loudly: "You want to kill me, it's not as easy as you think, I want to see who of us will die here today!" With a wave of his hand, more than twenty red-clothed people behind him had already rushed towards the middle-aged man in white and the man in black behind the middle-aged man in lightning without giving each other a chance to react.
More than twenty red-clothed people each held the same weapon in their hands, and the two short and sharp short swords had rushed to the middle-aged man in white in a blink of an eye.
At the same time, the middle-aged man in white also pulled out the sword in his hand and met the red-clothed man who rushed towards him without hesitation, and at the same time, the black-clothed man also rushed up behind him, just like the middle-aged man in white, he also held a long sword in his hand.
The two sides soon fought together, except for the man in white, the strength between the man in black and the man in red seemed to be not far apart, and it was difficult to solve the battle for a while.
Although the middle-aged man in white tried his best to break through the encirclement of the red-clothed people and kill the people in gray cotton jackets standing behind the crowd, the number of the other party was indeed more than his side, although his martial arts were obviously higher than these red-clothed people, but he couldn't rush over for a while.
The man in the gray cloth cotton jacket stood at the back of the crowd, looking coldly at the fight in front of him, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the middle-aged man in white who wanted to break through the encirclement playfully, as if he was provoking and as if he was proud. It all seemed to have been planned by him, and this alley, those red-clothed killers, seemed to be a trap he had specially arranged, waiting for the man in white to bring people in.
Everyone's attention was on the battle in the field, and no one noticed that there was a person standing on the wall not far away, a person covered in a black cloak, who was coldly watching everything that happened not far away, but there was a hint of surprise on his face.
This person is the one who tracked down the person in the gray cloth cotton jacket and chased him here. But when he chased here, he was even more surprised, because he knew everyone present, and even said that he had fought each other, but he didn't expect to meet them all at the same time, which also seemed a bit too coincidental.
But what surprised him the most was not the man in the gray cotton jacket and the group of people in red, but the middle-aged man in a white robe, who unexpectedly met him here.
Gradually, the man in red began to be a little unbearable, because the strength of the middle-aged man in white was indeed much higher than them, although some of them had temporarily stopped the black-clothed men brought by the middle-aged man in white, but they still looked a little powerless to stop the middle-aged man in white.
Seeing that the people in red were injured and fell to the ground one by one, the man in the gray cloth jacket standing at the back of the crowd finally couldn't stand still, frowned deeply, and couldn't help but start to slowly retreat backwards, because he knew that the man in red couldn't stop it, and he himself didn't have the confidence to fight the middle-aged man in white. So, he tried to run away again.
Just when the middle-aged man in white injured a man in red again, the man in the gray cloth cotton jacket didn't dare to stay any longer, took two steps back, turned around and ran back, but as soon as he turned around, he suddenly stopped, stumbled a few times, and looked at the other side with a frightened face.
Because I don't know when, there was already a person standing behind him, a person who didn't know what was going on, and he didn't even notice it at all.
The person who suddenly appeared behind the man in the gray cloth cotton jacket was standing on the wall and watching for a long time, and when he saw the person in the gray cloth cotton jacket trying to slip away, he had already quietly come behind this person.
He didn't want to help the middle-aged man in white who was also not a friend to him, but he had some questions that the person in front of him needed to answer for himself.
Wuxin looked coldly at the familiar stranger in front of him wearing a gray cloth cotton jacket, without a trace of expression on his face, and asked lightly: "Where are you going?" It sounded like a friendly greeting between acquaintances, but the cold tone sent chills down the spine of the person in the gray cotton jacket on the other side.
The man in the gray cloth jacket smiled awkwardly, grinned and said: "Who am I, it turns out to be Engong, I haven't seen you for many days, and I don't know if Engong is getting better? He said with a smile on his face, but it looked very uncomfortable, because he already had an annoying face.
Hearing this person's words, Wuxin couldn't help but sneer, and said lightly: "If I hadn't said goodbye, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a chance to say goodbye, right?" As he spoke, he stared coldly into the man's eyes, with a chill in his eyes.
This person in a gray cloth cotton jacket is the person who Wuxin desperately rescued from Fengyue Valley last time, the person with a roe deer head and a treacherous face.
The reason why Wuxin didn't say goodbye at that time was because he suspected that this person would poison him in secret, so he walked out of the dense forest alone with a serious injury and rushed back to the capital.
At that time, everyone thought that it was impossible for Wuxin to leave the mysterious forest alone when he was so seriously injured, and they all thought that he would die in it, but no one expected that he would walk out of the boundless dense forest alive, and now he is standing here alive, so when this person saw Wuxin, he would be so frightened, although he also knew later that Wuxin was not dead.
The roe deer-headed rat-eyed man was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Engong, what are you talking about, I don't understand it a little." "As I spoke, my eyes were rolling back and forth, and I didn't know what the hell I was thinking.
"You are not a messenger of the imperial court at all, say, who are you?" Wuxin stared at this person's eyes, and said coldly, he had lost the patience to continue to talk with this person, and asked the question that had been buried in his heart.
The roe deer-headed man secretly gritted his teeth, the expression on his face was a little unnatural, and he inadvertently glanced behind him, and found that the middle-aged man in white was getting closer and closer to him.
Seeing this, his face became a little anxious, his eyes rolled, and then he suddenly looked at Wuxin in a hurry and said: "Engong, there is really something important today, if you have any problems, we will talk about it another day, and we will leave first, thank Engong for sacrificing his life to save him before, and salute here!"
Wuxin was stunned for a moment, a little confused by this sudden gift, and was about to speak, but suddenly found two cold lights flying out of the back of the roe deer's brain's neck like lightning, and came straight to his front door, the speed was extremely fast!
Unintentionally startled, he hurriedly turned around and dodged to the side! The cold light almost flew past Wuxin's ears, and if he dodged a little slower, he would probably be right in the middle of the door.
Unintentionally angry, I didn't expect this person to be so cunning, and actually took advantage of his unpreparedness to sneak attack himself, so Tie blushed and turned around and walked towards this person, with murder in his eyes.
But just after taking two steps, he suddenly felt the wind in the back of his head, and a chill rose on his back, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly dodged to the side again, and at the same time quickly swung the knife in his hand out, swinging it in the direction where the cold wind was coming.
"Ding" two sounds, two iron objects fell to the ground. I didn't care to look at it, it turned out to be two diamond-shaped darts, with green light on them, and they were actually quenched with poison, which was the hidden weapon sent out from the back of the neck of the roe head rat just now, but I didn't expect it to be a boomerang, and I almost hit the trick carelessly.
Wuxin squinted, turned around and looked coldly at the place where the person was, but found that the person had more than just gone, and actually took advantage of the gap between Wuxin to avoid the hidden weapon and escaped......
