Chapter 126: Night Attack
People will meet a lot of people in their lives, and among these people who were originally just passing by, there may be many people who become friends, some are just gentlemen's friends, and the friendship is not deep, but some may become friends of life and death, and they will never leave. They may not be like-minded people, nor do they have the same pursuits, but as long as the other party is in trouble, they will always show up when they need it, and at all costs.
Wuxin stared at Xia Haitang's eyes, and asked seriously: "Where is that group of mysterious people now?" He vaguely felt that this group of people was from Fengyue Valley, if it was really from Fengyue Valley, then the matter would be much more complicated than he imagined, it seemed that after the last incident, Fengyue Valley had completely announced that it was back in the rivers and lakes, but I didn't know what they wanted to do to find out about Red Feather.
Xia Haitang shook his head, with a trace of puzzlement on his face, and said slowly: "This is also what I want to know, after we were attacked, I asked people to secretly inquire into the whereabouts of this group of people to see if this group betrayed the snake gang, but since that day they seem to have disappeared suddenly, disappearing without a trace, and there is no news." ”
Originally, she wanted to find this group of people to ask for an explanation after the attack, but the subordinates she sent out one after another were all in vain, and she couldn't find the shadow of the other party at all.
Listening to Xia Haitang's words, Wuxin frowned, although he hadn't determined the identity of this group of people, but Wuxin firmly believed that nine times out of ten they were from Fengyue Valley, but why did they suddenly disappear after finding out the news of Red Feather? It seems that there may be some ulterior secrets about the emergence of Fengyue Valley this time.
After thinking for a moment, Wuxin continued to ask, "Then have you found out where the gang of people who attacked you came from?"
Xia Haitang nodded and said affirmatively: "You can see from their dresses that they are definitely the killers of Red Feather." "Red Feather's killers are all dressed in blue when they carry out their missions, which is known to everyone in the rivers and lakes, so it is easy to identify them.
Wuxin nodded, since the other party is Red Feather, that means that the people of Fengyue Valley may have found Red Feather, and it is likely that there has been a conflict with Red Feather, so Red Feather will send a killer to assassinate Xia Haitang in order to retaliate. For Red Feather, it was easy for them to check a small snake gang headquarters.
Wuxin finally figured out why Hong Yu had been so calm for more than half a month, and he didn't take advantage of the time when he was seriously injured and bedridden to assassinate himself, it turned out that there was such a mistake, it seems that he can stay in the Phantom City for more than half a month with peace of mind, and he is invisibly grateful to Xia Haitang.
"How long have you been hiding here?" Wuxin looked at Xia Haitang and asked lightly.
Xia Haitang thought for a while, thought about it and said, "It's been six or seven days, we originally planned to leave here tonight at night and move to the next temporary base, because the people of Red Feather may have already set their sights on here." ”
Wuxin shook his head and said lightly: "Since you have been targeted, there is no need to hide, unless you want to expose all the temporary strongholds you helped, since they want to kill you, you can't hide, since this is the case, then let them come, hiding is not the solution after all." ”
Wuxin is right, the more the enemy is pressing step by step, the more you can't back down, otherwise he will only gain an inch, more and more rampant, the only way is to choose to face, then maybe there is a glimmer of life.
Xia Haitang hesitated, the Snake Gang was built by her hard work, and it was not easy to develop to such a strength today, if she put the entire Snake Gang into it because of her own greed, it would really be worth the loss. But after thinking about it, I feel that what Wuxin said also makes some sense, not to mention that now that I have Wuxin in charge, I have an extra layer of certainty in my heart.
So, Xia Haitang nodded, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said seriously: "Okay, listen to you." She knew that Wuxin was a person who Red Feather had always wanted to kill as fast as possible, but now she was still alive and well, but Red Feather herself had already folded back and forth into many people, and there were only three of the seven masters of Red Feather in the mighty rivers and lakes at this time, and the others had all been killed by Unintention.
"That's not enough, you have to send someone out to spread the news that you're hiding here, and bring in those killers. Wuxin said lightly, he knew that although this was a little risky, it might be the best solution, if he could know who gave the order from the killer's mouth, he might be able to completely help the snake gang resolve this crisis.
Xia Haitang was stunned when she heard Wuxin's words, she didn't know what Wuxin meant, but after thinking about it, she agreed, since she asked Wuxin to come to help, then everything was done according to Wuxin's intentions, and it was worth taking a little risk.
So, Xia Haitang immediately ordered someone to release this temporary stronghold, and at the same time arranged for all the snake gang subordinates to hide and stand by at any time.
Time passed little by little, it was getting late, and I didn't want to stay in Xia Haitang's room all the time, and I ate dinner with Xia Haitang.
After dinner, the big man who had been guarding Xia Haitang's side had also left, and Xia Haitang ordered him to hide in the dark with the rest of his men, waiting for the arrival of the Red Feather Killer. There were only two people left in the room, Wuxin and Xia Haitang, and no one spoke, looking a little quiet.
Xia Haitang looked at Wuxin, who was sitting in the row of chairs in the center of the hall, and there was a trace of unusual emotion in his eyes. She has known Wuxin for a long time, and thinks that she is an acquaintance of Wuxin, but she has never been able to see through Wuxin.
But she could feel that under that pale face as snow, there was a lonely heart hidden faintly, and loneliness made her want to be appeased, which was an indescribable charm, and the more Xia Haitang looked at it, the more she felt that she was deeply trapped in it, and she couldn't extricate herself.
"If you don't want to die in the chaos that might happen for a while, I advise you to get some sleep, lest I have to protect you when the fight starts later. Wuxin leaned back in the chair, held the ink-black knife in both hands, squinted his eyes, and said lightly. The candlelight shone on his face, covering his already pale cheeks with a vague layer of light.
Xia Haitang covered his mouth and chuckled lightly when he heard Wuxin's words, as if the faint worry in his heart had already disappeared at the moment when Wuxin appeared, as if by Wuxin's side, everything became no longer so terrible, but felt very relieved.
I saw her blinking, looking at Wuxin, and said softly: "Lonely men and widows are in the same room, how can you say words that make people sleep and make people so shy." As he spoke, he began to cover his mouth and laugh again, laughing wildly.
Unintentionally listened to Xia Haitang's words, and shook his head helplessly, originally thinking that Xia Haitang would be able to become honest after this catastrophe, but he didn't expect that he would start to return to his original shape after a long time. But now that she can joke, it means that she has recovered from the previous assassination, which is a good thing for her. Thinking of this, he stopped talking and pretended not to hear anything.
Seeing that Wuxin didn't pay attention to herself, Xia Haitang glanced at Wuxin, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, and continued: "The Pavilion Master of the Phantom Sound Pavilion is your best friend, right?
But when he heard this, he turned his head suddenly, looked at Xia Haitang who was smiling coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Just because I don't stop you doesn't mean you can talk nonsense." To be honest, he hated Xia Haitang's head-scratching posture a little, and he didn't like her to compare herself with Ruyi.
Seeing that Wuxin seemed to be a little angry, Xia Haitang pursed her lips, was silent, turned around and leaned on the couch, pretended to start sleeping, and gave Wuxin a back.
Seeing that Xia Haitang was finally honest, he stopped pestering, waved his hand to extinguish the only candlestick next to him, and began to continue to close his eyes and recuperate.
It was getting dark, and it was late at night. As the minutes passed, the city was deadly silent, there was no noise, and they had probably returned home, burrowed into the quilt and slept beautifully.
But there was only one courtyard that was not so relaxed, there was a faint depression in the air, and countless pairs of eyes were hidden in the dark, waiting for the poisonous snake that lured out of the hole to get into this trap that had been designed long ago.
Gradually, the pair of eyes hidden in the darkness lost the spirit of beginning, became languishing, and became groggy. By this time it was almost dawn, and no one could stay open all night with their eyes wide open.
Suddenly, a slight sound came, and then I saw a black shadow fall from the wall of the small courtyard and gently fall to the ground.
The black shadow stood in place, looked around, and found that there was no movement, and then patted the wall gently, and then saw another black shadow jump over the wall and land in the courtyard, one, two, three...... More and more dark shadows jumped in from outside.
In a room in the middle of the small courtyard, Wuxin, who was leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes, and Xia Haitang, who was leaning on the couch, opened their eyes at the same time, looked out coldly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of their mouths at the same time.
With the black shadows constantly jumping over the wall, more and more people in black gathered in the courtyard, and there were more than twenty people. The men were all masked, unable to see clearly, and did not communicate with each other, except for a brief glance at each other, then looked around, and slowly approached the room in the middle of the courtyard. It's as if their target is this room, or the owner who lives in it.
The two people slowly walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the two wooden doors of the room, and the rest of the black-clothed people clenched the weapons in their hands and followed behind the two people.
The two black-clothed men standing by the door glanced at each other, and at the same time exerted force in their hands, pushing open the door vigorously, and the black-clothed men who were ready to attack rushed in quickly.
At this moment, two cold lights suddenly flashed in the dark room, and they shot like lightning towards the black-clothed crowd who had just rushed in.
Immediately afterwards, I heard two muffled snorts, and two men in black had fallen to the ground in response, and they didn't get up for a long time. They had been stabbed in the chest by a throwing knife, and they were all killed.
It turned out that those two cold lights were two flying knives, and because there were too many people in black, they seemed to be a little crowded, and there was no chance to dodge at all, so two people were directly hit by the flying knives.
In the faint moonlight, a slender figure appeared in front of the doorway, and even more striking were the pair of embroidered pink shoes that were still eye-catching in the night.
The black-clothed crowd was only stunned for a moment, and then directly stepped over the corpse of his companion and rushed towards the figure quickly, all the weapons in his hands had been drawn, and there was a series of swords unsheathed.
Suddenly, a few more cold lights flashed, and several flying knives flew in front of them, and the black-clothed crowd hurriedly dodged, but someone was stabbed by the flying knives again and let out a few wails. But this time, the men in black did not hesitate any longer, directly past their fallen companions, and continued to rush towards the figure in the room.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, and then he saw a person who rushed to the front of the black-clothed crowd let out a miserable scream, and his body flew backwards uncontrollably, instantly knocking his companion forward and backwards.
At the same time, the courtyard suddenly shouted murder, and then the lights were bright, and a group of big men with torches rushed out of the surrounding rooms, tightly surrounding the room, and the rest of the black-clothed people who had not had time to rush into the room turned around in panic, only to find that there were already people standing behind them, and the surrounding water could not be leaked.
By the light of the fire shining in from outside the house, the black-clothed men who broke into the room finally saw the situation in the room clearly. On the couch facing the doorway, a woman wrapped in gauze sat on the couch, and between them and the couch stood a man, a man shrouded in a black cloak, with his head slightly bowed, and holding a knife as black as ink in his hand.
Although only this one person stood in the way, no one in the black-clothed crowd dared to step forward, because when they saw this person, a person's name appeared in their minds at the same time: Bloody Knife Heartless......
