Chapter 069: A Liar (1)
The twilight is dreary, and the wind is cold.
The cold wind blew into my heart, and my heart seemed to be a little chilly.
Bai Luoshang was drunk again, squinted his eyes and found the most comfortable place to lie down among the many roofs.
It's so cold, what is he still doing lying on the roof?
He was waiting, waiting for the stars, waiting for the moon, and he knew that there would be many stars tonight, and the moon would be round, because today was the fifteenth. The fifteenth moon is always round, and he likes the round moon, although he has no one to be reunited.
The night without people should be gloomy, lonely, and cold.
The cold dew drenched Bai Fall's hair and hem, but he still had no intention of going back.
The wind wafts by, the smell of wine hits, and people get drunk in the wind.
At the beginning of twilight, he waited there, not seeing the stars or the moon.
As the twilight deepened, he waited there, no stars, no moon.
The twilight was deep, and he was already waiting there, with no stars in sight, no moon in sight.
If it was usual, if he couldn't wait to see it, even if it was a ruin, he should have returned early. On this day, however, he was more patient than usual, as if he would not go back until he could wait for the moon and stars he wanted to see.
It was late at night, and there were no stars or moons, but the lights were still brilliant.
Bai Luoshang carried a wine gourd, drinking wine, and looked up at the sky, which was the direction of the rising moon. If the moon is going to come out today, it must be rising in that direction.
Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy footsteps at the end of the dark alley.
Bai Luoshang finally sat up and tilted her head to look down.
Under the flickering lights, two people carried a soft sedan car from the depths of the alley.
The two sedan chair drivers are strong and strong, and they are also stable when carrying the sedan chair.
A gust of wind swept by, and a person sitting in the sedan car was faintly visible.
What kind of person it is, I can't see it realistically. But it must be a rich man, because only a rich person can afford to sit in such a good sedan chair.
In Fengzhou City, there is no shortage of rich people.
However, there is only one rich family living in this deep and straight alley: Dingguo Houfu in the north of the city.
The people who live in this Dingguo Houfu are not only rich, but also very powerful.
The soft sedan chair was carried not far from Bai Luosheng and suddenly stopped.
A young man ran over from the other end of the alley, then stopped in front of the sedan chair, and said to the sedan chair man in front: "Hou Ye has not returned to the house when he went out today, and before leaving, he instructed that if Dr. Zhu comes, please move to Xiyuan to rest for one night, and tomorrow morning Hou Ye will return to the house, and then ask Dr. Zhu to come over to the house for treatment." ”
The sedan chair driver opened the curtain on the sedan chair, and a thin old man in a green robe was sitting inside.
The old man looked very tired and was recuperating with his eyes closed. Listening to the young man's words, he only nodded, and didn't even lift his eyelids.
The young man bowed to the old man, and then he bowed to the palanquin.
The two people carrying the sedan chair looked more tired than the old man sitting in the sedan chair, and after listening to the young man's words, the sedan chair man in front of him gasped and said, "Since this is the case, then you quickly lead the way." ”
The young man immediately turned his head and said, "Trouble the two eldest brothers, you just stop here, and the next person who will leave it to me will do it, and the two eldest brothers will also rest." ”
As he spoke, two more stout men came from the alley.
When the sedan chair man in the back heard this, he immediately laughed and said easily: "Since you have said so, then thank you, Dr. Zhu has been in bad spirits recently, and you should be slower and more stable when carrying the sedan chair." ”
His body is not as good as the sedan chair man in front of him, so when he carries the sedan chair, he is also more struggling than the sedan chair man in front, and he looks more tired than the sedan chair man in front of him at this time.
The young man naturally could see that the palanquin man behind him was very tired, so he immediately nodded and said, "Big brother, don't worry about leaving it to us." ”
The sedan chair man in front smiled and said, "Then thank you three brothers." ”
After speaking, the two palanquin drivers put down the sedan chair and turned around and walked into the dark alley with brisk steps.
Replace it with two people to carry the sedan chair.
These two people seemed to be in a very good mood, and as soon as they lifted the sedan chair, they began to talk and laugh, and their steps were very slow.
Bai Luoshang yawned, and the two of them stood in the alley walking at a strange pace.
At this pace, do they walk, or do they walk?
As soon as the sedan chair driver in front lifted the sedan chair, he began to complain: "It's really cold this day." ”
The person carrying the sedan chair in the back said with a smile: "Today, I went to the proprietress to gamble and won ten taels of silver, I have a treat in the evening, how about going to have a drink together?"
The palanquin driver in front of me smiled: "I don't know when I will finish work today? I am still drinking, and I can go back to my nest to sleep early, and I will be satisfied." ”
The palanquin man in the back said: "What's the point of going back to your kennel to sleep? If you want me to say, the most comfortable place in the world is still the fox's den." ”
The palanquin man in front sneered: "It's up to you, I don't want to sleep in a fox den in my life." ”
The sedan chair man in the back grinned: "I just think about it, how can I have this blessing, let alone this life, even the next life, the next life, I don't have this blessing." ”
The two of them talked and laughed uncontrollably, but the young man walking next to the sedan chair seemed to be deaf, perhaps he was just pretending not to hear. The old man sitting in the sedan chair didn't react at all, and he didn't know if he really fell asleep, or because he was too tired, he never spoke, and he didn't even open his eyes.
The alley is not too deep, and no matter how slow it is, there will still be a time when it comes to the end.
There was only one door at the end of the alley, a closed door.
When he arrived at the door, the sedan chair man stopped and slowly put down the sedan chair.
The young man should have knocked on the door, or opened it directly, but he stood motionless in front of it.
Suddenly, the two men carrying the sedan chair at the same time drew a sword from the lifting rod of the sedan chair, a slender and long sword.
The cold light flickered, and the two swords had stabbed at the old man in the sedan chair at the same time, and the shot was as fast as lightning.
In the dead of night, in the middle of nowhere, it is indeed a good way to kill people. The two sedan chair drivers are obviously hidden martial arts masters, and they are pretending to be crazy and stupid all the way, and it turns out that they are just trying to assassinate the people in the sedan chair.
The two swords were one in front of the other, one after the other, and one up and down, and in an instant all the old man's retreats had been sealed, no matter how he would dodge, he would not be able to avoid the attack of the sword.
The cold light is coming, the murderous aura is coming, and there is no way to avoid it.
Bai Luoshang hid on the roof, and couldn't help but feel nervous, he could almost imagine the scene after the old man was stabbed by two swords.
If the old man had been stabbed with two swords, he would have died, in this deep alley.
The young man stood with a cold face, and his attitude of standing on the sidelines made it clear at a glance that he was one of the masterminds who planned this assassination.
killed people in front of the back door of Dingguo Houfu, making such a big noise, but there was no reaction at all in the house. This not only shows that the two assassins who wielded swords were not simple, but also that the assassination operation was not simple.
The sword light pierced into the soft sedan chair, and in an instant, the old man's body suddenly deviated, and the two swords had already brushed against his body.
The two swords were retracted at the same time, and they had already stabbed a second blow at lightning speed, this time one in front and one behind, one left and one right, no matter how the old man dodged, he couldn't dodge.
I only heard the sound of "Zheng Zheng" twice, and two swords pierced into the sedan chair.
One sword had pierced the old man's clothes, but the other was caught between two fingers by the old man.
With a "bump", the roof of the car was shattered.
Bai Luoshang clearly saw the situation in the sedan chair.
He couldn't have imagined that the old man's two fingers would look like they were made of iron, and the sedan chair man holding the sword couldn't pull it with all his might.
only listened to the sound of "Ge", and the sword was broken by his fingers.
The two palanquin drivers were shocked, and one volley turned over in the air, sweeping two feet upside down.
The old man didn't even open his eyes, and with a slight wave of his hand, the two severed swords in his hand had turned into two blue light flying rainbows.
He had expected to hear two screams, but he didn't. He only heard two sounds of iron falling to the ground.
Someone blocked the broken sword.
The old man couldn't help frowning.
Immediately after, there were two applause.
The old man said sharply, "Who?"
His eyes opened, and his gaze was like lightning, and he looked at the roof where Bai Luoshang was hiding.
Bai Luoshang had no choice but to jump off the roof.
The old man couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw a strange young junior come out.
Because this person followed them all the way, none of them found out.
The old man looked at Bai Luoshang with blazing eyes: "Who are you?"
Bai Luoshang smiled and said, "I thought you would ask me why I made a move first." ”
The old man frowned, "What are you doing here?"
Bai Luoshang patted his sleeves and said, "Of course I'm here to watch a good show." ”
The old man grimaced.
Bai Luoshang pretended not to see it, and continued to smile: "Why did they kill you?"
It took a long time for the old man to reply, "Because I'm a liar." ”
Bai Luoshang was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Are you a liar?"
The old man straightened his face and said, "That's right, I lied to them, so they want to kill me." ”
Bai Luoshang asked, "What did you lie to them?"
The old man replied, "I lied to them that I was very good at medicine. ”
Bai Luoshang looked at the door that had been closed all the time, "Are any of them sick?"
The old man glanced at the young man who had been standing aside, and said coldly, "That's right, their master is sick. ”
Bai Luoshang was surprised: "Is that the Hou Ye?"
The old man sighed, "Young man, this has nothing to do with you. ”
Bai Luoshang thought for a while, nodded and said, "It really has nothing to do with me." ”
Saying this, Bai Luoshang really didn't ask.
The old man suddenly wondered, "Are you really not curious at all?"
Bai Luoshang said lightly: "Yes, I'm not curious." ”
The old man looked at him for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing, "You're not curious, but I just want to say it." ”
Bai Luoshang looked at her.
The old man smiled and said, "Do you know who lives in this door?"
"Of course, Dingguo Houfu lives in Dingguo Houfu"
Hou Ye has been in a long and horizontal life, killing countless people, and it is only natural that someone wants to kill him.
The old man deceived others, and it was only natural that others would come to kill me, so why should I ask them where they came from.
