Chapter 13: A Game of Life and Death

Hearing Yu Xiaoyao's exclamation, Lu Qiao'er and Feng Lilong, who were drinking, glanced at each other, and their bodies moved, and they had directly climbed from the lobby to the second floor.

Yu stood in front of the bed in a daze, looking at the person on the bed.

The dead man.

Feng Lilong only glanced at it, and then exclaimed, "Yang Tianci?!"

Lu Qiao'er frowned slightly, "How could he die here?"

Yu Xiaoyao grimaced and said, "Then I'm afraid I can only ask him himself." ”

He stretched out his hand to inspect Yang Tianci's body, and when he touched the circle of blood on the corpse's neck, Yu Xiaoyao was slightly stunned, he actually felt a hard object in Yang Tianci's throat. With a slight force of his fingers, he forced the hard object out of the wound, and when they saw it, the three of them couldn't help but be stunned.

It was a golden knife.

The blood in Yang Tianci's throat only came out at this time.

His killer stabbed the knife precisely into the circle of blood on his throat, and the knife remained in it, so that the blood could not flow, and it could not be seen from the outside unless it was examined carefully. Seeing that Yang Tianci still had a cruel smile on his face, he must have been killed by someone before he could react.

Feng Lilong couldn't help but gasp, "What a quick knife." ”

"What about Tang Qi?" Lu Qiao'er asked.

Yu Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.

"Bang dang!"

There was a sudden loud bang at the door, and the three of them looked back, and Xiao Er was standing at the door, looking at the scene in front of him in amazement, and there were many fragments of the wine jar scattered at his feet.

"Ahh

Suddenly there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and it seemed that there were many people in the sound, and Feng Lilong's eyes were cold, and he walked to the window and looked outside.

"It's Jinyiwei!"

Yu Xiaoyao was not very surprised, "It must be Yang Tianci's backhand, I'm afraid these people don't know that their top boss has been killed." ”

Feng Lilong smiled evilly, wiped his hand on his waist, and drew his sword in his hand, "Kill it?"

Lu Qiaoer was also eager to try. The cold light flashed in her palm, and several thin silk threads appeared in her hand, which was the weapon she relied on to become famous, called amorous silk.

Yu Xiaoyao shook his head, "There are many strange things about this, I am only afraid that the person who killed the person, whether it is the sixth golden knife or not, left the body here just to frame us." Don't fall in love, rush out first, if you are discovered, I am afraid that you will not be able to say clearly. ”

Feng Lilong nodded, "Go separately!"

After saying that, he rushed out of the window, only to hear an order from below, and the sound of the crossbow rolling and the scream of the crossbow bolt breaking through the air suddenly became one.

Feng Lilong's loud laughter came from far outside, "Grandchildren, you have the ability to chase me, hahahaha!"

Yu Xiaoyao put the golden knife in his sleeve, "Qiao'er, don't move, I'll rush out first to attract their attention, and then you take the opportunity to escape." ”

Lu Qiao'er's hand moved, and the tables and chairs in the room were suddenly cut into several pieces, "You are not allowed to leave me again!"

Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, "Okay, then you follow me." ”

As soon as they stepped out of the room, they heard several loud muffled thuds, and four bowl-thick crossbow arrows pierced through the wall, with hideous barbs in the front and a rope the thickness of a forearm attached to the back.

"Not good!" Yu Xiaoyao's face changed.

"Pull!" there was a loud shout from outside.

The four bolts were suddenly pulled tightly by the attached ropes, and the barbs clung to the wall, and the wall creaked and groaned overwhelmed, and only lasted three or four breaths, and then collapsed under the tremendous pull, splashing the sky with dust.

Two figures flew out of the dust and landed firmly on the remains of the wall.

"What a domineering brocade guard!" Yu Xiaoyao shouted angrily.

When the dust fell, he could see the scene in front of him, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised by the sight.

I saw that the surroundings were densely packed with people, and even the roofs around were full of people, and this number was several times more than that brought by Yang Tianci.

What's even more frightening is not the many brocade guards, but the people who are facing the door of the store.

The four Jinyi Wei officials wearing flying fish suits lined up in front, all with a long breath, slightly stronger than the dead Yang Tianci, but it was not these four masters who made Yu Xiaoyao care, but the one among the four.

It was obviously a murderous battle, but he sat quietly on the chair, more than fifty years of years had washed away his sharpness, he wore a plain white robe, like a teacher who had been adrift for half a life and failed to gain fame, so he had to succumb to the countryside.

But the teacher sat peacefully like this, as if the fierce brocade guards around him were like mustard.

There was also a chess table in front of him, with black and white chess boxes at each end of the table, and an empty seat opposite him. Seeing Yu Xiaoyao come out, he smiled slightly, "Sanren, why don't you come and play a game of chess." ”

The indifferent tone was like two old friends who had known each other for a long time on a leisurely and boring afternoon, meeting by chance in the alley in front of their house, beckoning each other to come and play a game of chess, so as to pass the boring afternoon.

But all the people around were Jinyi guards with swords in their hands, and the four masters wearing flying fish suits made people feel breathless.

It's like if you walk into a wolf's den, surrounded by wolves that may bite a piece of meat off you at any moment, and the wolf king appears in front of you and invites you to lunch with a smile.

Lu Qiao'er only felt that the cold hairs all over her body stood up, and as soon as her palm moved, she wanted to make a move.

"The commander is here, how dare Yu disobey. Yu Xiaoyao actually agreed.

This kind old man is actually the highest-ranking commander in the Jinyi Guard?!

Yu Xiaoyao reached out and squeezed Lu Qiao'er's hand, walked down from the ruins, walked straight to the front of the commander, and sat on the empty seat.

"Who's going first?" the commander asked.

Yu Xiaoyao looked at the black chess box in front of him and said, "Heizi first." ”

The commander smiled: "Okay, you are a junior, I'll let you go first." ”

"Don't dare. Yu Xiaoyao reached out and twisted a chess piece and played it on the chessboard.

The chess pieces fell lightly on the chessboard, making a crisp sound, and the chess pieces on the chess table and in the box were actually carved from beautiful jade.

There were a few angry rebukes in the distance, and several figures ran through the brocade guards on the roof, rushing towards this side, and the person running in front turned around from time to time and stabbed a few swords, but the three people chasing after him didn't seem to want to make a move with him, just lightly avoided the blade of the sword, and chased after him closely. When the brocade guards saw him coming, they all tacitly got out of the way, and then clasped closely behind him.

The figure that fled in front was Feng Lilong, who had just escaped.

I saw him leap between the roof tiles a few times and was forced to land in this clearing. When the brocade guard behind him saw him falling, he no longer chased him, but surrounded him densely.

Feng Lilong spat on the ground hatefully, put away the sword, and scolded: "Yue Feirong, Murong Yi, Qian Duanshan, you are still a long-famous predecessor in the rivers and lakes, and you don't want to be so spineless after being a dog of Jinyiwei, and you don't want to fight with the young master, I just know what kind of ability I can rely on people chasing me." ”

The three of them looked at him coldly, but they didn't quarrel with him, their task was just to block Feng Lilong here, no matter how Feng Lilong scolded, they didn't pay attention.

Feng Lilong was tired of scolding, walked to Lu Qiao'er's side unhappily, and asked, "What kind of reputation is Yu Xiaoyao doing here?"

Lu Qiao'er didn't look at him, and said with a blushing face: "Play chess." ”

The commander raised his eyelids and glanced at Feng Lilong, and said, "Is it one of the general banners that he and you killed my Jinyi Guard?"

Yu Xiaoyao fell, "Does the commander want to avenge that general flag?"

The commander smiled faintly: "That kind of waste, if you kill it, you will kill it." ”

"Still. He changed his words, "Yang Qianhu is not that kind of small fish and shrimp. ”

Yu Xiaoyao's heart moved, and things were really not so simple.

Yang Tianci just died, and the commander went downstairs, which was too weird, and he didn't go upstairs, how did he know that Yang Tianci was dead?

"The commander is discerning. Yu Xiaoyao said lightly, "Naturally, we know that we didn't kill people." ”

The commander has fallen a son and has surrounded a small sunspot, "Eat." The commander picked up the sunspots that were killed one by one, "I said that you killed people, and that is what you killed." ”

Yu Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows and twisted a sunspot, "Is the commander going to bring us to justice?"

The conductor rubbed his chin lightly with his hand, "That's up to you." It's your turn. ”

"Look at me?" Yu Xiaoyao dropped the chess piece in his hand.

"Now I have two of your friends on my hands. The commander raised his finger and pointed at Lu Qiao'er and Feng Lilong, who were standing on the side, "I want you to exchange two lives for you." ”

Yu said freely: "What if I don't want to?"

The commander waved his hand, and the four flying fish suits who were standing together with the three people who were chasing Fengli Dragon just now drew their blades at the same time and pounced on Lu Qiao'er and them.

Feng Lilong was happy and shouted, "Good coming!" and drew his sword to meet him.

Lu Qiaoer's amorous silk flashed in her hands, and she also faced the three of them.

"Do you think they can control the Stranger with a Thousand Faces and the Flower Hand?" said Yu Yaoyao.

"Who said it was up to a few of them. The conductor gently picked up the black pieces that had been removed from the chessboard, flicked his fingers, and a few pieces "snorted" and broke through the air.

Yu Xiaoyao suddenly moved, his body flickered, and he sat back in his seat. He opened his hand, and the chess pieces were already lying obediently in the palm of his hand.

"It's better to use the chess pieces to play chess. He said lightly.

"What a getaway. The conductor applauded softly.

As his applause rang out, a few people suddenly jumped down from the roof next to him, and a large net was opened between them, and they went down to Lu Qiao'er and Feng Lilong.

Lu Qiao'er and the seven people were tied, and no one could help anyone for a while, but they didn't want to be a big net under the hood, Feng Lilong scolded angrily, and wanted to break through, but was forced back by a few people in front of him, and in a blink of an eye, he was covered in the net.

The commander smiled: "I'm not bad at all. ”

Yu Xiaoyao's face turned pale, "What does the commander want?"

The commander stretched out two fingers, "I said, you kill two people for me, and I will hand over your friend to you." ”

"Otherwise?"

"Otherwise," the commander picked up another chess piece from the box, "they are the murderers of Yang Qianhu, and they should be executed according to the laws of my Ming Dynasty." ”

Yu Xiaoyao took a long breath and suppressed the anger in his chest, "There are countless capable people in your brocade guard, who can't you kill if you want to?" Why did you find me?"

The commander made a drop and sealed a piece of black chess, "It's not that I found you, someone pointed out that you should do this." ”

Yu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, he reached out and took out the golden knife inserted in Yang Tianci's throat from his sleeve, and gently placed it on the chessboard.

"Is that him?"

"It's him. ”

Yu Xiaoyao sighed, "I thought it was Yang Tianci, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

The commander muttered: "Six-in-eight wilderness, this knife is unique." ”

"Then why me?" asked Yu Yaoyao.

"Some people want you to die, but some people don't want you to die. "So the guy was nerve-wracking, so he decided to give you a chance." ”

"If I kill someone, others will think that I am also a person of the Liuhe Knife, and then there will naturally be countless people who want my life, if I want to live, I can only be obediently at his mercy, right?" Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly.

The commander said: "If you kill someone for him, you will naturally be his man." ”

"If I don't agree, he'll kill me?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.

The conductor smiled and shook his head, "I said, someone doesn't want you to die, so naturally you won't die." ”

"But my friend must die!" Yu Xiaoyao sighed as she looked up to the sky.

"And if you don't kill them, they will surely die. The commander said, "You are a wise man, and you know what to do." ”

Yu Xiaoyao looked at the two people in the net, and Lu Qiao'er was also looking at him. Feng Lilong was scolding the eight generations of ancestors of Jinyiwei in foul language.

"Okay, I promise you. Yu Xiaoyao said, "Who do you want me to kill?"

The commander smiled and said, "Sanren is really a smart person." You know both of them, and they're not hard to find. ”

Yu Xiaoyao's heart sank.

"The first," the commander dropped another son, "Tang Yanzheng, the master of the Tang Sect." ”

"Tang Yanzheng. Yu Xiaoyao only felt uncomfortable with a rag in his throat, and he repeated the name mechanically, and he also fell into a son.

The commander smiled even more happily, "The second, Wudang's Xuanxiao real person." ”

Xuanxiao Zhenren is the previous generation of Wudang heads, and it is he who united the martial arts heroes to exterminate the Liuhe Dao thirty years ago, and now Xuanxiao Zhenren has already stepped down from the position of head and retired to the mountains and forests, and he still refuses to let him go.

Yu Xiaoyao tried his best to suppress the true qi stirring in his body.

"Good!" he said.

The commander smiled slightly, dropped again, and slowly stood up.

"Jade Xiaoyao, you lost. ”
