The four seasons are reincarnated, Vientiane is changing, and it is spring of the year, and the sun is warm and warm.

A small mountain town with a small population and a small place, and because it is not near the official road, there are few foreign tourists and the road is sparsely populated.

But today, the view is very different.

At the entrance of a small thatched courtyard in the south of the town, it was crowded with people and full of noise. Everyone tried to grow their necks and look into the courtyard, but they were blocked by several tall officials. From time to time, someone moved forward, and was shocked back by the bright big knives in the hands of the officials.

In the courtyard, several officials were checking around, and in the center stood a handsome man, dressed a little differently from the officials around him, who was listening to the report of a catcher next to him with his eyes closed.

"Report to Lord Gao Sheng, the deceased's name is Hong Ye, he just moved to this Ansan town a month ago, and he is just an ordinary farmer. Yang Tian, a local catcher in Ansan Town, said respectfully to the man.

After listening to Yang Tian's report, Gao Sheng raised the corner of his eyes and scanned the courtyard, and finally stopped his gaze on the corpse not far away, stared at it for a while, and asked, "Yang Zhutou, is this person really just an ordinary farmer?"

Gao Sheng's words seemed to have an invisible pressure, pressing on Yang Tian's heart, and in an instant, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his forehead, he didn't have time to raise his hand to wipe it, and hurriedly said: "I have already checked with the neighbors around me to verify that after this Hong Ye moved here, he has been staying at home every day except for doing some farm work in the field, and there is indeed no abnormality." ”

Gao Sheng slowly walked towards the corpse, took out a silver needle from his waist, and stabbed it into a hole on the corpse's right arm, and in an instant, a touch of pitch black flooded the corpse's right palm, and the originally pale skin was suddenly as black as if soaked in ink.

"This, this is ......?" Yang Tian was speechless in surprise.

"Seven poisonous hands. Gao Sheng said lightly.

"What......? He...... Is it Qi Guoxing, the Seven Poisonous Hands?" After listening to Gao Sheng's words, Yang Tian's legs suddenly softened uncontrollably.

Seven Poisonous Hands, the name has always been a lingering nightmare in the Capture Realm.

The Seven Poisoners, a mysterious assassin, whose targets are either rich or expensive, and whose methods are ferocious, once made people everywhere panic.

The most relied on department of the imperial court, Wuya Pavilion, once issued twelve pursuit warrants in a row, and pursued them for three consecutive years, but there was still no trace of him.

"Thank you, it's a good thing that the Seven Poisoners didn't commit any crimes in our town, otherwise, no matter how many lives I have, I won't be enough. Yang Tian muttered in his heart.

Gao Sheng ignored the careful thoughts in Yang Tian's heart, this time the Boundless Pavilion sent him over to verify whether the deceased was really the Seven Poisonous Hands, and secondly, there was another mission, which was related to the mysterious organization that the Boundless Pavilion had been tracking for a long time.

Now that the first task has been completed, then immediately start to implement the second task, this task involves a high degree of confidentiality within the Boundless Pavilion, and it is inconvenient to disclose it to Yang Tian, so Gao Sheng said lightly: "Yang Zhutou, although the seven poisonous hands are innocent, but the state has national law, and the law is determined by the government, and no one can enforce the law and kill people privately, and the murderer's behavior is in my opinion to rob you of your job." ”

Hearing the two "rice bowls", Yang Tian trembled and swallowed softly.

Seeing Yang Tian's appearance, Gao Sheng sneered, and then said: "I have carefully inspected this small courtyard, there was a fierce fight here last night, although the murderer successfully killed the Seven Poisoners, but he must not have obtained any benefits. ”

As he spoke, Gao Sheng walked to the fence at the edge of the yard, reached out and touched the edge of the fence, and a trace of dark red blood jumped to his fingertips.

"The murderer has been injured and can't escape far, Yang Zhutou, I hope you will send more people to search from house to house, you can't let go of every inch of the place, be sure to arrest the murderer, remember, take care of your own job, don't be robbed." ”

After listening to Gao Sheng's words, Yang Tian raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, Lord Gao, we will defend our jobs to the death." ”

As soon as he spoke, Yang Tian realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly corrected it: "No, we will definitely defend the rights entrusted to us by the imperial court to the death and fulfill our obligations, you just sit back and wait for the good news, Lord Gao." ”

Gao Sheng didn't speak, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he walked straight out of the courtyard.

Seeing Gao Sheng come out, the crowd that had originally gathered at the door spontaneously dispersed to both sides, and everyone cast reverent glances at him.

Boundless Pavilion, the hall of elites, the gathering place of heroes, everywhere you go, thousands of people admire.

There are people from Wuya Pavilion here, this murderer must have nothing to hide, and the town must be safe.

That's what everyone thinks in their hearts.

However, there is one person who thinks wrong.

After Gao Sheng left, the crowd at the gate of the courtyard slowly dispersed.

A tall, thin man left the courtyard with the flow of people and turned into a small alley on the side of the road.

A dark cloud approached in the sky, and the sky gradually darkened.

With a snort, a gust of cold wind blew from the alley, causing the man to be excited.

"Damn, what the hell the weather, it looks like I'll have to go to the Silk Village to get a few more thick clothes. The man said a word in his mouth, and suddenly he saw a person appear in front of the alley.

A man wearing a brown hat and coarse linen clothes, with a discolored flask pinned to his waist.

The alley was very narrow, and the appearance of the man blocked the way of the tall and thin man.

The tall and thin man said with a displeased face: "Boy, a good dog doesn't get in the way, let alone Lao Tzu's way, get out of here, lest Lao Tzu call someone to greet your whole family tomorrow." ”

The voice landed, and all that greeted him was the whirring wind.

The man in the cloth had been standing in the shadows, his head bowed, and his face could not be seen clearly by the help of a hat.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, the tall and thin man raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Boy, I see that you have itchy skin today! Lao Tzu doesn't beat up the unknown, quickly, report your name!"

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and took a step forward to rush towards the man.

At this moment, a deep male voice floated out of the man's mouth: "I am an assassin, someone paid for your life, don't blame me." ”

As soon as these words came out, the tall and thin man froze in place, and after a while, he laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, laughing to death, you still buy my life, it's up to you?" ”

Before the laughter was over, I saw a little flower dog out of nowhere, poofed and ran to the feet of the man in cloth, raised his hind legs, and with a bang, the man's shoes were steaming.

Seeing this, the tall and thin man laughed even more fiercely, squatting down and straightening his waist: "Hahahaha, assassin, just like this, you still call yourself an assassin? There is no murderous aura on your body at all, even a puppy dares to pee on your lap, there are still such assassins in the world? Dog urine assassin? laugh at me, hahaha." ”

"The first rule of the Assassin's Code: Forceful, cold and cool!" The man in the cloth did not change his face, and his left foot couldn't help but shrink, trying to narrow the coverage of the dog's urine, but the puppy ran to his right leg very uncooperatively, and slowly raised his left hind leg with a relaxed and satisfied expression.

Just when the puppy was about to release the pressure again, the man in cloth roared: "His grandfather's is still here." As soon as he spoke, he kicked the puppy away.

At this moment, the tall and thin man's eyes were cold, he galloped over against the ground, and rushed to the man in cloth in the blink of an eye, a bright light flashed, and the man in cloth jumped suddenly, and the light was everywhere, and the corner of his clothes had been cut off by a sharp blade.

"How dare you sneak attack!" the cloth-clothed man roared, and before his body could hit the ground, he saw a dagger appear in the palm of the tall and thin man's hand, stabbing at him.

"You assassin is a real failure. The tall and thin man sneered, swept away the previous mocking appearance, the speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the dagger had already stabbed the man in cloth in the chest.

At the critical moment, the man in cloth took out an object from his waist, and with a clang, the object was across his chest, blocking the dagger's attack in time.

The tall and thin man was stunned for a moment, then turned the dagger, stabbed diagonally, and stabbed at the head of the man in cloth.

The man in the cloth leaned back hard, but his speed was still a step slower, and the blade slid in front of him, cutting the hat on his head in half.

Losing the hat to cover, the man in cloth showed his true face, the tall and thin man looked at it, and was a little stunned for a moment, it turned out that the man in cloth under the hat was wearing a drama mask, which was the head of Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West, and he was grinning with a wide pig mouth and laughing recklessly.

After a moment of sluggishness, the man in cloth recovered from the danger, and after falling to the ground, he jumped again to widen the distance between him and the tall and thin man.

After the fight just now, the tall and thin man knew that the man in cloth was not his opponent, and he was not in a hurry to attack at the moment, but just stared at the other party coldly.

The cloth-clothed man held a rusty, broken sword in his hand, and it was this broken sword that blocked the fatal blow of the tall and thin man in time.

"Hey, I said Assassin, don't you regret taking this task now?" said the tall and thin man as he played with the dagger in his hand and said with a sneer.

"The second rule of the Assassin's Code, if you can't win, run away!" Before the tall and thin man could finish speaking, the man in cloth muttered a word, turned around and flew back.

"Hmph, want to go? It's not so easy, as soon as Lao Tzu's dagger comes out, he will definitely see blood!" Seeing the other party's cowardice, the tall and thin man's face was ruthless, and he concentrated his strength on his right hand, and with a whoosh, the dagger flew out of his hand, piercing the back of the man in cloth.

The speed of the dagger was several times faster than before, and in the blink of an eye, it had caught up with the man in cloth.

The cloth-clothed man hurriedly dodged sideways, but the dagger seemed to have a spirit, and he turned around and continued to stab at him.

"His grandfather's, I'm gone, you're still coming?" the man in the cloth screamed, jumped up the wall, and took advantage of the narrowness of the alley to shuttle between the two walls like a bat.

The daggers followed, clanging one after another, sparks constantly sparking on the stone walls on both sides.

In an instant, the stone wall had been punctured and scarred, but the dagger speed did not slow down in the slightest.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the man in cloth turned his heart sideways, suddenly turned around, and rushed towards the tall and thin man.

The tall and thin man sneered: "Look for death!"

Suddenly, I saw him shake his right hand, as if he was pulling something, and flicked it hard.

A slight light flashed in the air, and it caught the corner of the cloth-clothed man's eyes, he didn't think about it, he instinctively turned his head upside down, spun around in the air, and suddenly a bright red blood shot out, and the cloth-clothed man fell to the ground with a muffled snort.

At this time, an extremely long blood mark appeared on the right leg of the cloth-clothed man from top to bottom, and a blood-colored long line was connected between the dagger in the air and the tall and thin man's right hand.

The tall and thin man withdrew the dagger, and at this time the man in cloth could see clearly, it turned out that the dagger was connected to the palm of his hand through a sharp filament.

"Now where else can you escape?" the tall and thin man laughed contentedly, "I advise you to tell you honestly, who is going to buy my life, otherwise, I will make your life worse than death." ”

"Article 3 of the Assassin Code states that employers' information is kept strictly confidential. ”

"Phew, this employer is really blind to choose you, at your level, you are still worthy of being an assassin?

Just as the tall and thin man kept laughing at the man in cloth, the man in cloth kept staring at the red on the silk, and his own blood was gradually spreading along the filament to the tall and thin man's right hand.

"Don't say it, I think in my heart and know who it is, passing by this town, I saw that his daughter was good-looking, so I loved her once, this is a blessing that she has cultivated for several lifetimes, I don't go to burn incense to worship the Buddha and thank the Bodhisattva, and I call someone to kill me? Don't worry, after killing you, I will immediately let their whole family go down to accompany you and suffer death. The tall and thin man clenched his dagger to his chest and was about to deliver a fatal blow, when suddenly, a bright light shot at him at great speed.

A warmth spread from his chest, and the tall and thin man's eyes widened, and he looked down in disbelief, only to see a rusty broken sword cut off his right hand and pierced deep into his chest.

The cloth-clothed man let out a long sigh of relief, slowly got up, and limped over to the tall and thin man.

The tall and thin man was not yet dead, covered his chest, and said tremblingly, "Let it go...... Leave me alone, I've got money, I'll give ...... Pay double the money and buy ...... Buy my life. ”

The cloth-clothed man reached out to hold the hilt of the broken sword, and said lightly, "I'm sorry, I'm an assassin, professional. ”

With a bang, the broken sword was drawn out of the flesh and blood, and in an instant, blood shot everywhere, and the tall and thin man was cold, and his breath was cut off.

After the cloth-clothed man slowly left, the alley returned to its former tranquility, as if the previous vicious fight had not happened.

On a wall in the corner of the alley, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, staring closely at the direction of the man in cloth.
