Volume 1 The Waves Rise and Fall Chapter 52 Ten Steps to Kill a Man (4)
On the twenty-fourth day of July, it was less than one moment before the twenty-fifth day of July when Jialou slashed Chang'an.
In Chang'an West City, there is no longer daytime hustle and bustle on the streets that have entered the middle of the night, and several restaurants that used to stay up all night have also closed early.
In the past two days, there have been assassins in Chang'an who have entered Beijing to commit murder, killing people without suspicion, even if there is no shortage of great hidden masters in Chang'an, they do not want to make extraneous branches.
Late at night in autumn, the silence of the ending disturbance is terrible.
Only a pair of men and women in white stood on the street paved with bluestone paved roads, confronting each other.
They rushed all the way from Puxingfang to here, one ran and one chased, the woman in white saw that she couldn't get out, and the man didn't make a move after catching up with him, just stopped to see what his purpose was.
So the two of them were under the late autumn moon, looking at each other.
Long.
The woman in white finally lost her concentration, and couldn't help but speak, "Who are you?"
The man in white shook his paper fan gently, looking like a merry and talented man, and said with a smile: "The girl is really forgetful, I have just told her, but Xu is sad." ”
The woman in white said, "Why do you know this poem?"
The man in white said: "Xiaosheng has been traveling all the way, and the poems are not leaving, I don't know which one the girl asked." ”
The woman in white said: "Ten steps to kill, a thousand miles without staying." After the incident, the clothes are gone, and the merit and fame are hidden. ”
Her master Taibai Gongzi is known as "the poetry and sword merry Li Qixian", and the thousands of golden quatrains written in his life are more favored by the world than his clever killing methods. However, this "Assassin's Walk" is an internal code of conduct within their organization, and has not been circulated to the world, and she is puzzled by how this person knows.
The man in white said: "The family teacher has an old relationship with Mr. Taibai. ”
"Mr. Taibai", not "Taibai Gongzi", is the honorific title of the younger generation to the elders. The woman believed it for three points, and then asked, "Who is the honorable teacher?"
The man in white said, "Don't say it." ”
The woman said: "Since it is an old acquaintance, why do you harm me." ”
The man in white, Xu said sadly: "When did Xiaosheng ruin the girl's business." If the girl has something to do, Xiaosheng will never stop her. ”
The woman in white said: "If you don't stop it, I will kill you, why don't you die." ”
Xu Beiliang smiled bitterly: "The family teacher also has a lot of trust, and he doesn't dare to die randomly." The girl wishes, forgive her fate. ”
The woman in white said: "Then you go to complete your trust, and I will complete my trust." Don't follow me. ”
Xu Beiliang said: "What the family teacher entrusts is to follow the girl. ”
The woman in white stomped her feet and said angrily, "You...... You...... I'll kill you!" If you don't agree with each other, you will kill someone, and she approached Xu Beiliang in white clothes, raised her hand and bent her palm to make a dragon and tiger seal, and rushed to Xu Beiliang's chest.
Xu was not frightened in the desolation, his body did not move, and even the amplitude of the folding fan did not change.
The girl's palm approached, striking right on the folding fan. She originally wanted to use the domineering of the hidden weapon she was cultivating to pierce the folding fan and kill her with one blow, but she didn't want to be shocked by the mechanism between her fingers and sleeves as soon as she touched the fan, making her palms numb.
Thanks to this set of secret weapons, she has been wearing them since she was a child, and she has been practicing for more than ten years, otherwise she will not be able to withdraw in time, and her palm will be cut off from it.
"You, who are you!" The woman in white was shocked and frightened, this set of secret weapons was the only thing she relied on to walk in the world, invincible, and never missed. Today, she was broken twice in front of this person, and she almost suffered a backlash, which hit her arrogance when she first came out of the school.
The man in white shook his fan and said, "The girl forgot again, my name is Xu Beiliang." ”
The woman in white was furious, but she didn't dare to make another move, and stomped her feet in place, back and forth several times, causing Xu Beiliang not only to laugh: "The immortal hangs his feet, and the laurel tree is a group." The white rabbit pounded the medicine, and asked who Yan was having dinner with?"
The woman in white was angry, but she knew that she was invincible, and she could no longer convince people's minds, as if she had been wronged, and she spoke with a crying voice: "You are not allowed to read my master's poems again." ”
Xu Beiliang said: "Under the autumn moon here, the girl is so jumpy, not like the jade rabbit in the poem." ”
The woman in white said, "Are you scolding me?"
Xu said sadly: "I'm praising you." But if you don't act, your master will scold you. ”
The woman in white said, "Then don't stop me." ”
Xu Beiliang said: "Yes." ”
The woman in white said, "Don't follow me." ”
Xu Beiliang said: "No. ”
The woman was so angry that she stomped her feet, and a pair of embroidered shoes were almost trampled on by her.
Knowing that he had been delayed here for too long, he no longer cared about this unidentified annoying spirit, and ran towards Puxingfang.
When I met my husband, I heard that it was almost four watches, and the time was about to pass, so I couldn't help but speed up my pace.
On the twenty-fifth day of the seventh month, at seven o'clock, on the street outside the gate of the Xiufu.
The four of Nangong had already laid an ambush in the dark, and according to Ma Fengtao's orders, they hid in four places where the yin qi was at its peak. Ma Fengtao said that such a place, the people of the yang world will deliberately avoid it without knowing it, and do not look here, which is an excellent hiding place.
After the four of them hibernated for three moments, they estimated in their hearts that it had been a long time since the sound of the third watch, and it was about to be the ugliness of the fourth watch.
Xiu Yan said in his heart: "Could it be that the calculation is wrong, not here and now?"
Nangong Xin said: "The assassin's whereabouts have been leaked, have you changed your plan temporarily?"
Ma Fengtao said in his heart: "The ugly time is approaching, and the assassin only has one last chance, so he should come." ”
Zhang Chuxin said in his heart: "It's so cold." I knew I should wear more clothes. ”
At this moment, a baby's cry suddenly appeared in the night sky, tearing the silence of Chang'an. Nangong looked up, it was the horned Gu carving again, but this one was surprisingly big, and I didn't know how far away it was through the night, and I could see that there was still a thing dragging under the silhouette. He immediately fell, and with the movement between his fingers, the golden light in the sky flickered, and a wall of golden light that was particularly conspicuous in the dark night fell into the sky and slapped on the Gu Eagle's body.
The Gu Eagle was shot down by this sudden change, and when it was caught off guard, the second golden light fell again. It simply stopped swinging its wings and ascended, but spread its wings and slid downward, trying to escape from under the eaves of the porch.
Just as he was about to make a sharp turn, another invisible wall of light flew head-on, this time not falling from the sky, but from the front. Under the attack from both sides, the air could not be turned immediately, the huge eagle head hit the wall of light head-on, and after a scream, the huge figure fell rapidly, roaring like a baby crying, in the middle of the night was very sad, like a ghost howl.
Zhang Chuxin couldn't help but shudder, and walked out of the shadows with his hands and arms.
Ma Fengtao walked out from the other side with a black spear in his hand and said to Zhang Chuxin, "Is it cold?"
Zhang Chuxin said: "Cold." ”
Ma Fengtao said: "The heart is cold or the body is cold. ”
Zhang Chuxin said: "The yin qi is too heavy, it should be cold in the heart." ”
Ma Fengtao said: "You shouldn't be afraid of ghosts, right?"
Zhang Chuxin asked rhetorically, "Aren't you afraid?"
Ma Fengtao said: "Ghosts are afraid of me. ”
As they spoke, the four of them had already surrounded the huge Gu Eagle, which was probably two people long.
Xiu Yan said: "It's so big, it shouldn't be Taibai Gongzi himself." ”
Nangong said: "I don't know, do you know?"
"I don't know. "The man on the left.
"I don't know. "The man on the right.
"I know. The man behind him.
Zhang Chuxin suddenly stared at them and said in horror: "We...... Aren't there only four of us......"
