Chapter 487: The Nineteenth Prince's Disappearance Case Twenty
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the five fingers of the black surroundings could not be reached, as if they had been sunk into the ink tank.
The hairy moon, sick and scattered a faint light, and the two Hou brothers, who were hiding in the shadows in the shadows, saw that Seocho signaled that there was movement ahead, and immediately followed Seocho's gaze to look forward.
However, the two of them saw nothing but endless darkness ahead.
However, it didn't take long for their eyes to gradually adjust to the darkness ahead, and Hou Hu and Hou Monkey both found that not far away, there seemed to be something moving.
Gradually, the two brothers saw that it was a figure, looking left and right along the wall of the opposite street, sneaking towards the crossroads.
As if there was some sign, the hairy moon above the nine heavens suddenly shook off the hair on its body and suddenly became brighter.
The silver moonlight shone down, illuminating the streets.
The figure that was moving slowly against the wall, visibly panicked by the sudden brightness of the moonlight, suddenly quickened his pace, and in the blink of an eye, rushed to the wide intersection.
The distance was close, Hou Hu and Hou Monkey finally saw the man's slender figure, which was quite beautiful, and it was they who had been squatting here for many days and waiting for a long time.
Hou Hu's eyes widened suddenly, and he gestured forward in a panic, and was about to rush out, but was grabbed by Ruicho's arm.
vigilantly looked around at Ruicao, signaled Hou Hu and Hou Monkey not to alarm the Zhuzhu, and then the three of them quietly followed behind the Zhu.
At this time, it was the end of the hour, the city gate was closed, and the hanging bead with a burden on his body was obviously about to go out of the city.
The north side of Xiu De Fang is close to Fang Lin Gate and Jing Yao Gate, but the footsteps are hurried, and from time to time vigilantly check the hanging beads in the rear, and do not go to the city gate, but turn around and go to the direction where the West Market is located.
The merchants and people of the West Market are mixed, Hu and Han are neighbors, the fish and dragons are mixed, I don't know if the pearl hurried to the West Market in the middle of the night, who do you want to see, or where to hide?
The two brothers Ruicao and Hou, who followed closely behind the Zhu, entered the West Market with the figure of the Zhu, and saw the Zhuzhu sticking to the outer wall of the market, all the way to the west, and hurriedly followed.
The three of them secretly followed the beads for a while, and the release pond that often gathers in the West Market during the day appeared in front of them.
When Wu Zetian was proclaimed emperor in the previous dynasty, Princess Taiping believed in Buddhism, and invited the Taoist monk Master Facheng to lead the water of the Yong'an Canal in the city, injected it into the Xishi Pond, and set up a place to release life and accumulate blessings, called "Release Pool".
In front of the release pond, the bronze statue of the master of casting into a robe is clothed, bowing his head and chanting Buddhism, accompanied by the bronze statue of the little monk sending the turtle to be released.
On the other side, there is a bronze statue of the official noble lady with his hands folded in prayer, and in front of its side, there are two maids who put the fat koi in the copper basin into the pond and release it into the pond, which is lifelike and very pious.
Yan Zhou continued the religious beliefs of the previous dynasty, and the people generally feared Buddhism, although they did not achieve the point of "sweeping the floor without hurting the lives of ants, cherishing moths and lanterns", but they were also very pious, often entering the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and doing the thing of releasing life and accumulating goodness.
Hurried to the vicinity of the release pond and stopped, looking left and right, as if waiting for someone.
Hou Hu, who was anxious, saw it and was about to step forward, but was grabbed by Seocho's arm.
"What's wrong?"
Hou Hu, who was worried that the bead had run away, just asked with a puzzled face, and saw Seocho suddenly jump forward like an arrow from the string, and threw the bead standing not far away to the ground.
With two "sighs", several sharp arrows flew over the place where the beads had just stood, and shot into the release pond behind them, which immediately aroused a few splashes.
"Hide. ”
Seocho, who shouted this sentence, quickly got up from the ground, pulled up the hanging beads that were still in a daze, and ran towards the bronze statue of the Facheng monk on the side.
The two brothers, Hou Hu and Hou Monkey, also hurriedly hid behind the bronze statue on the side, and before they could stand firmly, they heard a sound of breaking through the air, and countless arrows were densely woven into a large net in the air like a shower, which immediately stirred up a whole splash in the release pool, as if they had accidentally broken into the water curtain hole.
Seocho, who was tightly guarding the beads in his arms, leaned on the cold bronze statue, and the dense arrows "jingled" on the bronze statue, like a fool holding a small copper hammer and kept ringing the bell, so that Seocho's ears couldn't hear any other sounds around him.
Seocho, who wanted to poke his head out from behind the bronze statue and check the situation of the enemy on the other side, just moved his body, and his shoulder was scratched by a sharp arrow.
The dense rain of arrows raged wildly for a while, and when it felt like the bronze statue was about to be pierced, the terrifying rain of arrows finally stopped.
But Seocho didn't have a chance to rest at all, and dozens of black shadows surrounded them, and without saying a word, they rounded the steel knife in their hands and slashed at the two brothers Seocho and Hou who were hiding behind the bronze statue.
Seocho, who protected the beads behind him, pulled out two daggers from his waist and waved them to meet him.
The two brothers, Hou Hu and Hou Monkey, who were next to them, also drew their swords from their waists, back to back, and fought with the man in black who suddenly appeared.
The black-clothed man covered his face, revealing only a pair of murderous and bloodthirsty eyes, and the steel knife in his hand was like a koi fish that had just crossed the dragon gate, turning into a silver dragon, wrapped in a fierce wind, specifically aimed at the vital points of the three of Seocho, and kept attacking.
The ruthless man in black gave Seocho a sense of familiarity, she quickly glanced at the man in black who was constantly attacking while protecting the hanging beads, and after seeing the two familiar figures, she couldn't help but snort coldly.
"It seems that the lord in your mouth is the mastermind behind the disappearance of the Nineteenth Prince!"
The sixth man in black, who was hiding his face on the periphery, saw that Seocho recognized her, and he didn't panic, stepped forward, ripped off the mask on his face, and smiled at Seocho.
"It turned out to be you. ”
Seeing the appearance of the sixth man in black, the hanging bead hiding on the side of Seocho showed a stunned and frightened expression, and then his face came to a realization.
"I see. Your Excellency knows that I have detected your secret, and asked you to kill me, right?"
"Miss Chuizhu, you should feel very honored to make a modest contribution to the work of adults, and you should gladly die, and do not do unnecessary struggles, and cause others to follow you to hell. ”
After the sixth man in black finished speaking, let the self who knew him come over, otherwise he would kill all four of them together.
With a complicated expression, he turned his head to look at Seocho, with tears in his eyes: "Pavilion Lord, the slave family doesn't want to die." However, the slave family does not ...... I can't trouble you, so let the slave family go with them!"
