Chapter 475: The Wicked Fight (I) (Yangzhou Chronicle)
"Who are these two people?" Tian Xu looked at the two people who entered the palace, and muttered in his heart, "Looking at their black clothes, they don't look like some kind of goodness...... What is the Yangzhou prefect doing, how can he get acquainted with such a person......"
The two men dressed in black who came to the gate of the palace just now showed their tokens in front of the guards, and strode into the palace. But with Tian Xu's experience, no matter how you look at these two people, there is something wrong with them, and I think that since I am here to investigate these things, I will inevitably find ways to infiltrate the palace......
"Hmph, no matter how strict the guards are, they can't stop me......" Tian Xu, who wanted to sneak into the palace, was sure in his heart, and flew in the direction of the palace with an arrow step......
"The two adults are finally here......" In the passage inside the palace, after the mysterious two men in black came just now, the guards inside said respectfully.
The two men in black walked side by side, the momentum of the killer was fully displayed, and the dark cloak was mysterious and terrifying, as if it made people feel that the next moment the cloak was revealed, it would take people's lives.
The two men in black were tall and short, and they only heard the tall man ask in a suffocating voice: "We want to see Lord Qiu Qian'an, take us to see him quickly-" He called Qiu Qian'an "Lord", but his tone did not take the prefect of Yangzhou in his eyes at all.
"Hatred...... Lord Qiu in the conference hall, and ...... ...... with the four Dharma protectors," the guard who had just answered heard the suffocating question of the man in black, and replied tremblingly.
"Lead the way—" The tall man in black continued to say alarmistly.
The guards were frightened by the cold words of the man in black, and they didn't dare to say a word casually. Trembling, he hurriedly lowered his head. Turning around, he led the two of them to the conference hall......
Tian Xu went around to the side of the gate of the palace, although there were many soldiers guarding this place. But most of them were scattered, and the soldiers didn't seem to talk to each other much, and they were completely focused on the guards......
"There seems to be movement—" One of the soldiers sensed something was wrong on one side and looked in the direction of the sound.
The soldier raised his knife, ready to take a look at the movement. However, he didn't seem particularly cautious, after all, he couldn't imagine that there were still people around the palace who dared to make a mistake, so his first reaction was only to think that there were some wild cats and wild dogs scurrying around. This makes a strange noise.
"Sure enough, it's nothing......" Seeing that there was nothing in the corner, the soldier turned around and prepared to go back.
But at the moment of turning around, a figure fell from the sky, and a bright short knife flashed out of the cuff - it was Tian Xu, I saw him fall quickly from above, behind his back, covering the soldier's mouth with one hand, and killing him with a short knife in the other hand......
"Well, the guards here seem to be tight. But there ......is no alertness at all," Tian Xu casually greeted, and he changed into the clothes of the soldier and took away the token—so that he could swagger in and out of the palace.
Sure enough, after coming out of the corner. Tian Xu pretended to be a palace guard, and came to the same gate as the two black-clothed men who entered just now, using the excuse of changing the internal and external guards. showed the token on his body, so he easily blended into the palace......
"I didn't expect it to be so easy. Fang Zhongtian, that kid, didn't dare to ...... such a thing" After Tian Xu mixed into the palace, he didn't forget to ridicule Fang Zhongtian in his heart. "Hmph, a coward like you, why does Aunt Lan like you? This time, I must personally find out the clues in the palace, and then go back and praise ......"
In fact, in Tian Xu's heart, he has always had a love for Lan Gu. It's a pity that the person Lan Gu loves is not herself, but her brother Fang Zhongtian. But Tian Xu was just jealous of Fang Zhongtian, and he didn't hold a grudge. After all, the two are brothers, don't look at the fact that they often argue about the short face of their parents on weekdays, in fact, Tian Xu and Fang Zhongtian have a very good relationship, and they look down on each other on their lips - especially Tian Xu, who is impatient--In fact, no matter where they are, they will think of each other. Just like now that Tian Xu has entered the palace alone, he has not forgotten to "sarcastically" Fang Zhongtian for a few words. It's more sarcasm than thinking of another brother who is always with him......
Blended into the palace, Tian Xu's identity was the same as the other guards in the palace, no matter where he went, he would not be suspicious. So, Tian Xu swaggered far behind the two men in black just now, and saw that their direction seemed to be heading towards an important place, and immediately followed him quietly from the side.
Everyone present didn't notice Tian Xu, after all, no one knew him, and no one deliberately counted the identities of all the guards in the palace. However, just as the two men in black were about to step into the conference hall just mentioned, the tall man in black who spoke coldly just now seemed to notice the movement of Tian Xu behind him, although he didn't know Tian Xu's identity, but with his back to Tian Xu, the man in black glanced back quickly and imperceptibly, and couldn't help but smile coldly......
The two men in black followed the guards into the conference hall, and if Tian Xu entered it blatantly, his identity would definitely be suspected. Knowing that this place was not like a place that ordinary people could enter casually, Tian Xu looked around and saw that there seemed to be a loophole in the eaves, so he took advantage of the fact that no one around noticed it, and took a step to hide in the corner of the outer corner of the conference hall. Immediately afterwards, without the surrounding guards noticing, Tian Xu performed light skills in a dark corner and flew silently to the eaves.
"This eaves seem to have a dark pavilion ......" Tian Xu wanted to remove the tiles for two days and see the qiē in the conference room, but there was a skylight on the top of the eaves of the conference room, and ordinary people could enter and exit freely. Under the skylight, between the floor of the house, there is a dark pavilion in the shape of a bracket, and if someone is lying on it, you can look down on the meeting hall up close. Moreover, the light of the room was very dim, and there was only such a skylight, even if someone was lying on top of the dark pavilion, it was difficult for anyone to notice.
Tian Xu thought in his heart, the two people who came just now were definitely not good, such people went in and out of the palace. There must be a reason for this. Thinking silently in his heart, Tian Xu didn't think about it. I simply got into the skylight and entered the house to take a peek......
Entered the house. The light dimmed suddenly, and he crouched on the support of the dark pavilion, and sure enough, he could look down on the one below. Moreover, the distance of the dark pavilion is not far from the ground, and he is lying on the stand, and he can hear the conversation of the people below.
It seemed that Tian Xu's movements were faster than the one for the man in black just now, Tian Xu had already laid down on the stand, and the two men in black had just walked into the hall with the guards. The light in the hall is dim, but the place is spacious, after adapting to the light. I can clearly see the figure of several people. One of them stood alone, with a lot of questionnaire affairs around him, and after the guard who led the way just now came in, he informed him of the word "adult", which shows that this person is Qiu Qian'an, the prefect of Yangzhou.
And beside Qiu Qian'an, there were four strange-looking but hideous men sitting respectfully, as if they were not simple to stretch out their hands, and each of them still held a terrifying weapon in his hand. And the status of these four people seems to be unusual, Qiu Qian'an, who is the prefect, is standing alone. The four of them sat there as if nothing had happened.
And when the two men in black just came in, they happened to be facing the four people who were sitting. When the four of them saw the two men in black coming in, they all cast contemptuous glances, and from time to time let out a few cold mockery, while the two men in black opposite each other did not say anything. Compared with the four people who were a little exaggerated, these two people were indifferent, but they also felt disdain for the four people opposite in their eyes......
"Who the hell are these guys? They all looked weird, as if they were extraordinary...... "Tian Xu crouched on the dark pavilion. Looking at Yiqiē below, he secretly wondered. "But looking at their appearance, it doesn't seem to be a group...... Who are those two guys who came just now, are they the 'newcomers' invited by Qiu Qian'an......
Qiu Qian'an saw that the atmosphere on both sides was not very good, and he wanted to ease up when he felt powerless, so he stood up and said: "Introduce to the four adults, the two newcomers are my newly hired helpers, and you will have to work together for this king in the future." Of course, this must be indispensable to the benefits of a few people...... "Qiu Qianan called the four people sitting as "adults", which shows that these four people are not ordinary.
"Hmph, it was originally four people, but now it has become six, how can it have the original benefits?" one of the people sitting sneered, "This is not good, we used to do our best for you in the palace, but now there are two more for no reason, how can you make the four of us brothers feel good?"
However, the two new men in black showed a very calm attitude, as if they didn't take the four "old guys" who were originally working for Qiu Qian'an in the palace in their eyes.
The tall man in black just now was the first to take off his hat, and soon revealed a young face in his early twenties. However, under the young face, there seems to be a hidden murderous intention, mysterious expression, strange eyes, cold words, no matter what angle you look at, the first impression is that you are a cold-blooded killer.
Beside the tall man, another man also took off his hat and showed his face. He was a little older, with a middle-aged face, and there was not much murder in his eyes like the man just now. The two of them took off their hats at the same time and looked at the four people sitting opposite them.
"Do you know who we are?" one of the four said again, "We are the 'Four Great Evils' who are feared in the rivers and lakes - I, the 'Human Butcher' Wu Tong, and the 'Money-hungry and Thin Life' Li Tu, the 'Cold-blooded Killer' Tuo'er, and the 'Four Differences' Han Gu. If the two of you were mixed up in the rivers and lakes, you should not have heard of our name, and ordinary people on the rivers and lakes would have been frightened to the point of being frightened when they heard our name. If you two dare to disrespect the four of us brothers, believe it or not, I will chop you into meat sauce and eat you-" It turns out that these four people are the famous "four evils and ugliness" on the rivers and lakes, and the person who spoke just now is the "human butcher" Wu Tong, Wu Tong showed a flamboyant and terrifying look, "stained with human blood" He is a normal eater, and if he angers him, he will definitely see blood in the next moment.
However, the two men in black did not seem to have any fear. The short middle-aged man smiled and said to the tall young man, "Senior brother, should we also tell them their identities?"
"Of course, after all, they are all thugs who have received money, and they will have to do things for Lord Qiu in the future, right?" although I don't like to do such things......" The tall man sneered, and said to the "Four Great Evils" in front of him, "We are from the Western Regions Martial Arts, and we have also heard a little about your Central Plains Martial Arts." However, we have only heard of the 'Four Saints of Martial Arts' on the rivers and lakes, the 'Four Great Evils and Ugliness'?
The tone of the tall man obviously did not take the "four evils and ugliness" into account. "You young man, what a big mouth...... Wu Tong saw that the tall man was disrespectful, so he continued to sneer, "Although we will do things for Lord Qiu together in the future, but the two newcomers are not good to rob us of our business...... The newcomers must be controlled, and you two will have to listen to our dispatch in the future, otherwise won't it be a mess?"
"I also agree, two groups of people, there must be a boss...... the tall man continued to care, "but who is the boss is not the new and the old one has the final say." If you want to be the boss, it depends on whether you have real skills......" As he spoke, the tall man cast a cold and murderous gaze at the "Four Evils and Ugliness".
"You stinky boy...... Wu Tong couldn't help but sneer when he saw that the tall man was so young.
Seeing that the other party had not yet reported his identity, Li Tu continued to disdainfully say: "Hmph, if you say that you are so powerful, you must be someone with a background, right? Since our four brothers have reported their lives, why don't you two report it? Or are you the younger generation of the young rats on the rivers and lakes? Hahahaha-" Li Tutu laughed and said.
"Hahahaha-" The other three laughed as they heard this.
However, the two men in black didn't seem to care, and it should be said that they didn't take the "four evils and ugliness" into their eyes from the beginning. The tall man paused, then sneered: "We are originally from the Western Regions Martial Arts, and our reputation is not very loud in the rivers and lakes...... However, we have always acted to convince others, and there are only a handful of people who have survived from us......"
The tall man's tone is still very cold, showing a posture that makes people feel "arrogant", and the "four evils and ugliness" are looking at it on the other side, and it is very uncomfortable in my heart.
"That's all you want to know who we are?" the tall man continued, "Alright then...... The two of us have been in the martial arts of the Western Regions for several years, and we are known as the 'Ghost King' two-"
The tall man's words were very simple, and the "cold-blooded killer" Tuo Tuo'er listened to it and said disdainfully: "Ghost King? Hmph, what kind of title is that, I have never heard of it." Looking at you like this, it doesn't look like you're a few pounds or two......"
"I said it, we have always done things to convince people with actions, and we don't care about the name at all......" The tall man slowly uncovered the bandages between his cuffs, as if he was about to prepare for action, and continued to say coldly, "But after today, I will let the four of you remember our names - the name 'Ghost King', my senior brother Zhou Xingtong and me, Bai Xie!"
It turned out that the two men in black were known as "Ghost Kings" in the Western Regions martial arts, a short middle-aged man named Zhou Xingtong, and a tall young man named Bai Xie. Bai Xie's eyes were murderous, and from time to time he exuded a terrifying cold arrogance.
"It seems that you want to do it first......" Wu Tong looked at Bai Xie's arrogance on the other side, and like the other three brothers, he was very unhappy in his heart. Correspondingly, Wu Tong pinned out an iron hook stained with countless blood from his waist, preparing to compete with Bai Xie for a while.
Qiu Qian'an, who was on the side, saw that the two sides were about to "fight" as soon as they met, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. But when I heard that the martial arts people were fighting to the point, Qiu Qianan was not too worried.
And above the eaves of the dark pavilion, Tian Xu, who had been hiding on it and watching, saw it all. For Tian Xu, who was born in martial arts, it is impossible not to have heard of the name of the "Four Evils and Ugliness", but today Tian Xu seems to be more interested in the newcomers "Ghost King" Bai Xie and Zhou Xingtong...... (To be continued......)
