Chapter 197: Sit and Wait to Die
Glancing at the hideous-looking head in the wooden box, Gu Ning nodded to Wu Hua slightly, took out an ebony plaque engraved with his name from his waist, and handed it to him: "Send the head to the Left Deputy Alliance Leader." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes. Wu Hua took the ebony card, but his eyes looked at Gu Ning, "Hall Master, those two injured brothers...... Fang Cai also lost his breath......"
Gu Ning frowned when he heard this, "This operation has suffered heavy losses, and I tell my brothers to keep their mouths tighter after they go back." Recently, that parting arrow has caused panic among the people in the alliance, and if this matter spreads again, I am afraid it will cause trouble for our Xingyun Hall!"
Wu Hua can also be regarded as a small leader in Xingyun Hall, because he has good skills and flexible brains, he is quite valued by Gu Ning, and almost every important action will be taken with him.
However, in Wu Hua's heart, he always had a deep fear of this ancient hall master who had a gloomy face and few words all day long.
And what scared him the most was Gu Ning's eyes that were as dark as a pool of stagnant water. There is hardly any joy or sorrow in it, and only after the killing will there be a faint red light, which looks really chilling.
Therefore, although Wu Hua has been following Gu Ning for several years to commit murder, he knows very little about his hall master. On weekdays, I only see him ruthless and unsparing, but I have never seen him worry about anything.
However, what surprised Wu Hua at this moment was that from what Fang Cai Gu Ning said, he actually heard a faint fear.
What is the hall master afraid of? Is it the legendary parting arrow, or the so-called "trouble" mentioned in his words? Either of the two, I am afraid it will be a catastrophe that even the hall master cannot resist!
For no reason, a chill hit Wu Hua's heart, making him feel that a catastrophe was coming......
After shuddering violently, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, hall master, I will explain it immediately." ”
Seeing that Wu Hua led the people to withdraw with the bodies of the deceased, Gu Ning turned his head to the Yuelai Inn again, and a cold light suddenly shot out of his eyes.
This Yuelai Inn was originally a dark spot of the Loyalty League. At the beginning, it should be out of security considerations that Zuo Yusong arranged for the Tianxiang Sect, who was regarded as his ally, to hide here.
Now that I think about it, this move was really prescient. Because it is easy to protect people on your own turf, and it is even easier to kill people.
So tonight's operation has the cooperation of the hidden pile of Yuelai Inn. They had secretly cleared out the other guests in the inn beforehand, so as not to have any emergencies when they started, so that the Tianxiang Cultist would take the opportunity to slip away.
Now that the target has been cleared, it stands to reason that the inn should be empty at this point.
But for some reason, Gu Ning actually had a strange feeling, as if a pair of eyes had been monitoring his every move. Moreover, those eyes came from the Joy Inn that should have been empty!
Years of licking blood with a knife made Gu Ning extremely trust his killer instinct.
Danger - right around, right in the middle of that inn!
He jerked to his feet and threw himself into the window that had been broken by the Tianxiang Cultist again. At the same time, the dark iron dagger, which he regarded as his second life, had been firmly held in his hand.
Rushing into the place where the life-and-death struggle had just taken place, all he could see was that the oil lamp on the table still emitted a dim and faint light, making the already messy room even more eerie.
At this time, the thick bloody aura in the room had not completely dissipated, and there was a faint faint fragrance mixed with it, which must have been the smell left by the poison cast by the Tianxiang Sect.
Other than that, there was no one.
Gu Ning still looked at all the cupboards and beds that could hide people with anxiety, but still found nothing. And at this time, the feeling of being targeted is completely gone.
He stood in the room for a moment, although he was reluctant to believe that his feelings could be wrong, but he had to admit that this time, his feelings were indeed out of order.
Or was it -- his heart suddenly shook, or was it that the man had deliberately lured him up?!
But what was the man's purpose in bringing him up?
Gu Ning had just woken up in his heart, but it was too late!
At this moment, he only felt that the blood veins around him had begun to shrink and condense, and a slight movement made him tremble in pain.
The fragrance of clothes, it turned out to be the fragrance of clothes!
It must have been the Celestial Fragrance cultist who had planted a stained incense on the window when he noticed that something was wrong, in case someone launched a surprise attack from outside the window.
And the person who was hiding in the shadows and peeping in the shadows had already seen all this, so he deliberately showed his traces and lured him to the bait.
As a result, he really rushed to catch up, and fell for the trick of the Tianxiang Sect disciple who had already died in his hands, no, it should be said that it was the trick of the person who led him up!
At this time, Gu Ning felt that he had lost most of his strength, and had become a lamb to the slaughter, just like those who had died at his hands......
Although he was unwilling and unconvinced, as a treacherous killer who was best at secretly calculating others, he had to admit that he had failed!
Before the official fight, he was already defeated, and it was a complete defeat, and there was no way to return to heaven.
Now, he has only two options-
One is to stand here, wait for the man who was hiding in the shadows to calculate him, and then easily kill him.
Another option is to jump from the window immediately, and if you are lucky enough not to fall to your death, you may still be able to call for help or even be rescued.
Just hesitated for a moment, Gu Ning finally smiled bitterly and slowly sat on the ground. He leaned towards the foot of the table, closed his eyes, and waited quietly for death to come.
............................................................
Wu Hua originally wanted to follow the hall master's instructions and send the wooden box containing the head of the Tianxiang Sect to the left deputy alliance master.
But for some reason, he suddenly remembered the hall master's words about "trouble", and his heart couldn't help but jump suddenly.
After thinking about it, he handed the wooden box to one of his brothers along with the hall master's ebony card, and instructed him to go back quickly and not to say anything in front of the left deputy alliance leader.
The killer of Xingyuntang bowed down to receive the order, picked up the wooden box, and hurried straight to the helm of the Loyal Alliance.
Wu Hua, who didn't know that he had escaped the catastrophe, only found out at this moment that he had to carry an extra corpse because he was gone. He couldn't help grinning with some regret and secretly scolded himself for being "stupid".
He first threw the headless body of the Heavenly Fragrance Sect that he was carrying on his back to the ground, and leaned over to carry the body of his own brother that he had left behind before leaving the man. Then, he stretched out his hand and copied it down, and then he took the headless body under his ribs, and then strode out into the wilderness outside the city.
When he was doing these things, although the four killers of Xingyuntang on the side saw it, they didn't have any intention of helping.
Just because the rules of Xingyun Hall have always been like this, the more high-ranking people in the hall are, the more responsibilities they have to bear than their subordinates.
In this way, the superior must take the lead in every task, and he must do what he can, and he must not risk the lives of his subordinates. Because at the same time, he will have to take more risks himself.
It is precisely because of the existence of this rule that every killer in Xingyuntang is willing to be loyal to the alliance, and when carrying out tasks, he can do not hesitate to absolutely obey the orders given by his superiors.
So this time, when carrying out the task of assassinating the Tianxiang Sect, Gu Ning let his subordinates be responsible for fighting the grass and startling the snake and forcing the Tianxiang Sect to come out, and he himself was the one who really carried out the assassination.
Although five of his subordinates were killed in the end, none of the few who survived believed that the hall master Gu Ning was responsible for the deaths of those people, let alone be dissatisfied with him.
This is also the reason why Gu Ning sent away a few of his subordinates with low martial arts when he found out that the situation at Yuelai Inn was different, while he himself stayed alone to take risks.
As the master of Xingyun Hall, he must have his own responsibilities and responsibilities. Because of this, he was able to serve as the head of the church for nearly ten years and was respected by every brother in the church.
It's a pity that Wu Hua didn't notice anything unusual about their hall master at that time, and of course they didn't think of going back to see what their hall master was doing when he stayed alone?
