The night was dewy and heavy, and the smell of the dirt and grass was sucked into the nose with the wind, adding a bit of coldness.

Xu Xiangkun's subordinates pretended to be the eyeliner of Hongyuan Villa: the Qing Pavilion killer was lurking in the woods.

Xu Xiangkun leaned against the trunk of the tree, playing with a ball of mud in his hand, pinching it with interest, the mud quickly took shape in his hand, looking at it through the moonlight, it looked like Li Zifeng when he was a child, Xu Xiangkun recalled the time when he was a child, smiled faintly, and then sighed helplessly, "From childhood to adulthood, you don't have a moment to live an easy life." ”

At this time, a man in black walked up to Xu Xiangkun and whispered, "Childe, he's awake." ”

The 'he' in the black-clothed mouth was the captured Qing Pavilion killer, tied to a tree trunk in the middle of the forest. Xu Xiangkun nodded, walked over with the man in black, and then squatted down, took out a dagger and slashed lightly across the killer's face, the killer opened his eyes and wanted to dodge, but was held down by Xu Xiangkun's men and couldn't move.

Xu Xiangkun shook his head helplessly, and pretended to regret, "With this little guts, what about being a killer? Sure enough, Li Muyang can only cultivate people like you who are timid and afraid of death." ”

The black-clad killer made a 'whin' sound, and his body writhed. Looking at Xu Xiangkun's eyes, it was like seeing a ghost, and the scene of his murder made him shudder. The knife was fatal, the bleeding was not much, and the process of dying was extremely painful and long, and he was speechless, and finally could only watch helplessly as his life slowly faded away.

Xu Xiangkun looked at it and smiled mockingly, "Look at you like this, you want to live?"

The black-clothed killer nodded vigorously, and Xu Xiangkun nodded with satisfaction, "Then tell me the truth, what is your action plan the day after tomorrow?

The black-clothed killer tried hard to open his mouth, but he could only make a 'woo' sound, Xu Xiangkun pulled out the cloth in his mouth, and the killer gasped again and again, "The Yuanjia Liquor Store is the station of Hongyuan Villa, and it is the ...... that is convenient for Hongyuan Villa to contact them" The killer seemed to feel that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly closed his mouth.

"Who are they?" Seeing that the killer refused to say anything more, Xu Xiangkun directly ordered his subordinates, "Do it! Start lightly, try to let him see the first rays of sunshine tomorrow morning." ”

The killer looked at Xu Xiangkun's light appearance, and just as he wanted to say something, his mouth was blocked by the cloth ball, and a sharp knife approached his body.

He kept writhing his body, but he couldn't hide, he could only yell to show that he still had something to say, but the person who was about to do it did not react, he kept hitting the trunk of the tree, and a few dead leaves slowly fell.

"What a noisy person. Xu Xiangkun frowned in disgust, waved his hand, and then squatted down and took out the cloth ball, "My patience is limited, if you make me anxious again......"

"Don't dare, don't dare..."The killer seemed to see a glimmer of life, and took the initiative to say, "That's really the stronghold of Hongyuan Villa's external contact, and it's useless on weekdays." Because he is a targeted liaison role. ”

"Targeted liaison effect?" Xu Xiangkun raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, "You mean that this opening is because the emperor is about to come to the Guangfang Temple?"

"It should be, right?" the man in black swallowed, "I don't know the specifics, but I've heard others mention that there is a secret passage in the backyard of the Yuan family's liquor shop, which leads directly to the mountain behind the Guangfang Temple." ”

"What?!" Xu Xiangkun glanced at his subordinates.

"But it's useless for you to find it, that dark passage is narrow, hides many killers, and it's easy to defend and difficult to attack......" Before the man in black finished speaking, he was forced back by Xu Xiangkun's cold gaze.

"On the other side of the dark tunnel, who answers?"

"I don't know, I haven't been in. Looking at Xu Xiangkun's aggressive gaze, he shrank back, "I really don't know, since it is directly connected to the Guangfang Temple, it is possible that there are monks and soldiers." ”

After hearing this, Xu Xiangkun hurriedly instructed his subordinates, "Go and send a message, let them carefully monitor the movements in the back mountain." ”

"Yes!" the dark shadow flashed and disappeared.

Xu Xiangkun looked at the black-clothed killer, an unpredictable smile appeared on his face, the black-clothed killer was slightly stunned, thinking that Xu Xiangkun was not keeping his promise to kill him, so he said hatefully, "What are you going to do, you promise to let me go!"

"I'll let you go, of course, but before that, you have to do something for me. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Take my men and go to the Yuanjia wine shop to beg for a drink. ”

"Huh?"

Xu Xiangkun took out a dagger and pressed it against the heart of the black-clothed killer, "If you dare to play tricks." I wouldn't mind using you to practice my techniques again. His voice was soft and his attitude was sincere, as if he were asking someone else to do something.

The Yuanjia liquor store fell silent, and there were no customers pretending to drink in the lobby on the first floor, and the shop guy was lying on the counter looking drowsy, but in fact he was secretly watching the wind and grass inside and outside the store.

There was a slight sound of footsteps from far and near, and there was more than one person, the shopkeeper immediately became alert, and stood up, standing in front of him was a rough-looking man, one-eyed, with a beard, reminding Kuan Zhuang that it was the one-eyed person known as the secret crossing person that Li Zifeng had contacted before, Hao Du.

"Is there any wine for sale?" Hao Du boldly took out a string of copper plates from his body and lined them up on the counter.

The copper plate was cold, and the shopkeeper didn't put it away in a hurry, but looked up and down at Hao Du and the two people dressed as entourages behind him, Hao Du stared impatiently, "What are you looking at?

"Oh, no, no, no!" The shopkeeper came back to his senses, hurriedly collected the copper plate, cleaned up a table casually, and prepared hot tea, "Don't take it to heart this guest officer, I just think that there are few guests coming at such a late hour." ”

Hao Du took two entourages to drink tea by himself, "I don't have time to talk to you here, bring the best sauce beef and wine in your store, we still have to hurry." ”

"Hey, okay!" said the shopkeeper, pretending to be curious, "but don't blame me for talking too much, this guest officer, it's not very safe outside now." Where are you going to go so late?"

Hao Du glared at him dissatisfied, and the shopkeeper smiled, "Oh, the wine and food you want will be available immediately." ”

The shopkeeper ran to the back kitchen, but in fact entered the back room through the small door of the back kitchen, the back room is no different from an ordinary guest room, divided into two rooms, Li Shijie is sitting in the back room and drinking tea leisurely, without the slightest intention of sleeping.

"Young owner, there is a guest in the store, he is a one-eyed, very suspicious look, and he has brought two entourage. ”

"One-eyed?" Li Shijie put down the teacup and thought for a while, he didn't need to see people, it was the title of one-eyed, he felt familiar, as if he had met somewhere, "Doing business?"

"It's hard to say. The shopkeeper shook his head, "But the subordinate also asked a question or two, saying that he was on the road overnight." ”

"Traveling overnight?

"Yes, I asked for beef and wine. The shopkeeper hesitated and asked, "Young farmer, do we want to..."The shopkeeper said, making a fist clenching motion, signaling whether to take the medicine or not.

"It's just a resting guest, what are you moving him to do?" Li Shijie coldly dismissed, seeing that the guy in the store was about to go out to greet the wine and food, he added pointedly, "Treat yourself well, pay attention to proportion!"

The shopkeeper came back to his senses and replied, "Yes!"

After half a cup of tea, Hao Du and his two entourages ate sauce beef, and poured two large bowls of wine, Hao Du suddenly felt a little dizzy, so he asked dissatisfiedly, "Man, what kind of wine is this, why is it so good?!"

The two attendants seemed to have even worse drinking, and they vomited one after another, as if they were going to vomit the next moment. The shopkeeper rushed over to warm the taste of the wine fermenting in his mouth, frowned in disgust, and said, "This guest officer, do you see if you vomit outside, we can't clean up this dirty liquor shop, right?"

The two of them got permission from Hao Du, covered their mouths and ran to the backyard, and the shopkeeper hurriedly sent someone to follow.

Xu is wine was too strong, Hao Du was also a little drunk at this time, and the shopkeeper was full of smiles, "This guest officer, do you want to take you out to breathe the air?"

"No, no, no. As he spoke, he pulled the shopkeeper to his side and sat down, "You sit down and talk to me." ”

"This guest officer, you are drunk......"

Before the words landed, another person came in the shop, this person was dressed in regular clothes, followed by two entourages, the leader was the black-clothed killer in the forest, the killer walked straight to the shopkeeper, as if he had something to say, the shopkeeper recognized him at a glance, so he settled Hao Du and came to the side with him, "What are you doing here." ”

The killer showed an embarrassed expression, "You are doing well, the brothers really can't stand it, you want to ask for a refreshing soup and drink a refreshing drink, do you think you should inform the young owner?"

However, the shopkeeper didn't understand what he meant, but instead came up alone, pointed his finger at the killer's death hole, and smiled on his face, "That's it, see if you can be accommodating, the brothers are really unable to hold on." ”

Compared with other masters, Li Shijie treats these Qingge killers better, at least when he sends them to stay up all night and hibernates, he will provide a thick coat and an appropriate amount of refreshing soup, just to make them die.

"Sit there and wait, I'll see if I can get ready. The shopkeeper glanced at Hao Du's direction, and saw that Hao Du was already asleep on the table, so he didn't think much about it and walked into the back kitchen again.

The two people who followed the killer reminded with a smile, "Try again, I'll kill you on the spot." ”

The black-clothed killer was stunned and didn't dare to move anymore.
