Section 168 The Man in Black

After Diao Lezi and his party walked away, the people around them also dispersed.

"The little woman thanks the two adults, the little woman can't take out this hundred taels of silver for a while, and she will definitely return it in the future. Su Miaoyue cut her hair, came over to give a gift, and the eyes of Xiao Tao and Juanzi were full of reverence.

Tian Wangwang said: "The two adults have a hard-won silver, how about this silver being cushioned by this son?"

"Thank you Tian Gongzi for your kindness, Senior Brother Chu is a son of a famous family in Jiangnan County, and one hundred taels of silver is only a drop in the bucket. Su Ziang laughed, blew a big bull, and led the servants to leave.

"These two little catchers are not greedy for money, which is a bit interesting. Tian Wangwang saw Su Chu and the two walking away, put away his smiling face, changed into a look of embarrassment, and said to Juanzi: "Juan'er, Ben Shao's chest and abdomen have been full of hot evil qi recently, please help me feel my pulse and smooth my chest and abdomen." ”

Xiao Juan said timidly: "The little woman can only run errands and dispense medicines, but she can't touch the pulse." ”

"It's okay if you don't feel the pulse, just practice with my son's body, come on, come on." Tian Wangwang put his hand in front of Juanzi in a daze.

"I don't know how to diagnose the pulse, but the master of the Su Pavilion will diagnose the pulse. Juanzi Guazi blushed and hid in the Miaoyue Medical Hall like a chicken, and Tian Wangwang immediately chased in like a weasel......

Su Ziang and his gang quickly walked through a street and alley, and Chu Tian ordered several people to post notices on their own, and then turned around and smiled: "Lord Su, who is close to the people, what the hell are you doing?"

"The official made a little trick to make all parties happy. Su Ziang smiled, stretched out his right hand, and there were one hundred taels of silver in his palm, and his left hand turned over again, and there were three or four more silver bags sewn from dirty cloth in his palm.

"Haha, it's earned. Chu Tian laughed and said: "Senior Brother Su is versatile, this thief's Taoism doesn't seem to be low, are you an official or a thief?"

"We don't understand what Brother Song said about the law, but whether Diao Lezi and his gang of scoundrels are good people or not, we can see and understand, as long as I am on Cross Street for a day in the future, these scoundrels will not have a good life. ”

"What is Senior Brother Su's plan?"

"Mu Zhenren once ordered to find out the power of the Heavenly Star Gang behind Master Qi as soon as possible, but the two of us are now stumped by the Butterfly Garden Bone Abandonment Case, and only those three little ghosts can use it right now. Su Ziang said with a smile.

"Senior Brother Su plans to raise thieves for self-respect?"

"Yes, he is familiar with Luodu and the thieves in other territories, I want to teach him some secret techniques of the Swallow Gate, so that he can find out the locations of the Tianxing Gang in Luodu. Su Ziang said: "Diao Lezi and a group of scoundrels just accompany the clever tiger to practice first. ”

"The Clever Tiger is too young, can he do it?"

"Hehe, Senior Brother Chu doesn't know the various secret techniques of Yanzimen, if Yan Qianhu insists on stealing, you won't even have a pair of pants left. Su Ziang smiled and said, "Although the clever tiger is young, it is more than enough to deal with a group of scoundrels who have no cultivation. ”

"I believe you, Senior Brother Su. "Chu Tian got a large number of spirit stones on Taihua Mountain, and he was given a pill to replenish the heavens, and his cultivation has now been successfully promoted to the middle stage of the Ning Yuan Dynasty, and now he is full of confidence in Su Ziang.

On the shore of Luoshui, among the reeds.

A group of wooden stakes with thick bowl mouths are erected according to various formations, and the three people of the clever tiger are like butterflies wearing flowers between the wooden stakes, and they are practicing the two or four for the shoulder, six or eight for the feet, three on the left and seven on the right, wearing nine shoes and one, and the nine palaces in the center of the five.

A figure flickered in the distance, and Su Ziang came quickly.

The clever tiger shouted from afar: "Brother Su, you are here." ”

"It's coming. Su Ziang stood and watched the practice of the three children, and said, "Come with me." ”

A few people got into the thatched hut, Su Ziang first took out a large pile of food, and then took out dozens of spirit stones, and said: "This is called a spirit stone, and now I will pass on some of your basic Dao methods of the Swallow Gate." ”

The secret technique of Yanzimen is different from that of ordinary thieves, there are mental formulas inside, and there are instruments to assist in practice, and with the original means of the three clever tigers, the exercises progress rapidly.

Dozens of days later, the servants had entered the early stage of the Qi training realm, and the technique could solve the nine bells, and Su Ziang taught Jin Yihui one or two of the warrior training skills, and the strength of the children soared.

Since then, the scoundrels on the cross street are worried day by day, the silver on the body often flies without wings, but even a thief shadow can not be seen, after a long time, the flower peony who is afraid of ghosts begins to be suspicious, and asks Taoist priests to draw talismans to subdue ghosts.

Dozens of days passed, and the night was as dark as ink, and the stars were sparse.

After midnight, the sky was silent, and there was silence inside and outside Luodu.

A group of black-clothed men appeared silently in an alley, like a group of ghosts hidden in the shadows of the alley, sneaking quickly all the way to the east of the city.

After a cup of tea, the group approached the wharf in the east of the city, and was passing through a narrow alley, when one of them was slightly heavier under his feet and made a sound.

"Quack, quack, quack......" A goose's cry suddenly sounded wild in the dark night, and the sound was noisy and loud.

"Wang, Wang, Wang......" A dog barking echoed in all directions, and together with the goose barking, it was like a chorus, and the silence and darkness were noisy.

The sneaking men in black were startled, and each quickly crouched in the shadows of the alley.

"Da Da" in the sound of horses' hooves.

More than a dozen Jinwu Guard cavalry led a group of infantry soldiers to follow the sound, holding torches and vigilantly looking along the street, getting closer and closer to the alley where the black-clothed people were hidden.

"Stop, let's move again. A patrol officer noticed the team of men in black who was quietly moving in the alley, and threw the torches from a distance, and a group of men in black who only showed their eyes instantly appeared under the torches.

"There are thieves, let go of the arrows. The captain who led the team gave an order, and a rain of arrows fell on the black-clothed people, and a black fog covering the sky and the moon was immediately released from the black-clothed team, and the alley was dark.

"Whoa, whoa......" in a thrilling roar.

More than a dozen blood-red wolf and tiger demon beasts burst out of the black mist, and two clouds of faint green light emerged from the demon pupils, rushing towards the officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Guard.

Luodu has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and the Jinwuwei soldiers usually only check passers-by and catch thieves, but now in the dark night, they suddenly saw a large number of demon beasts rushing out, and most of them were suddenly frightened and numb, and their whole body trembled.

"Arrows, arrows, hex, hex, ......"

Jin Wuwei led the captain of the team to fall off his horse with a frightened "plop", lay on the ground and shouted: "Knock the gong, knock the gong." ”

"Boom, boom," in a noisy gong, a large rain of arrows "whoosh, whoosh," shot towards the demon beasts.

More than a dozen demon beasts in front of them were hit by arrows, and they turned into puppets with a "whoop" sound and fell crookedly, and several crimson demon tigers rushed into the officers and soldiers of Jinwuwei and roared and bitten, and the officers and soldiers in front held shields to resist, and the officers and soldiers behind fought with knives and guns and monsters.

A night breeze blew, and the black fog in the alley blew away.

The alley was empty, there was no figure, and the crimson demon beasts that were fighting with the soldiers made a soft "pop", and they all disappeared out of thin air.

"Bang, bang, bang" A rapid gong sounded in the night.

The sound of the gong was rapid and loud, three stops, very rhythmic, far away in the silence, not long, and the same three gongs and one stop sounded in the dark night in the distance.

Then, the whole Luo was boiling, and the sound of gongs that stopped three times spread throughout the city.

"Look at what's in the alley, I seem to hear someone's "oops" just now, is someone hit by an arrow?" Captain Jin Wuwei ordered sharply, and several officers and soldiers with torches shone in a mess.

"Captain Wang, this is a slip of blood to the bottom of the alley......"

"Captain Wang, this dead person is carrying a bamboo basket behind his back. ”

"The cavalry quickly reported everywhere, saying that a large number of bandits had been issued at the east dock of the city, and some of the bandits knew witchcraft, and the infantry army was divided into four people to drag the dead back, and the rest followed me according to the blood drops, and the brothers were going to make great contributions tonight. Captain Wang calmly handed down the order, and organized the team to chase all the way down the bloodstains.

With the help of the cover of the black fog, the group of black-clothed people quickly broke away from the dock in the east of the city, and in the flickering torches and gongs of the city, the direction of the team was clear and fast.

After the second cup of tea, the speed of the procession was obviously slow, and under the bright starlight, a large lump was bulged high behind everyone's back, as if they were carrying a heavy load.

A bridge appeared ahead, and the sound of a babbling stream could be heard under the bridge.

The black-clothed people in the team were in high spirits, as if they saw hope, and their steps accelerated and rushed towards the bridge.

"Da, da," a rapid hoof sound flew into the distance, shattering the hope of the man in black.

A large group of Jinwu Guards Infantry Army, led by two captains patrolling the city, met the man in black by the bridge.

"Bold thief, abandon the blade and be bound, the archers are ready. "This brigade of Jin Wuwei received the news of the bandits in advance and was well prepared.

The infantry in front of the army was very quickly held at the bridgehead, two military monks rushed forward and waved out two formation flags, a burst of earthy yellow light flickered, and a simple defensive formation was laid out, and a large group of soldiers quickly set up rows of round shields in the formation, and stretched out a long spear from the shield frame.

"Quack, quack," the sound of bowstring pulling was whispering, like a soul-hooking ballad from the underworld, and a chilling killing intent diffused in the dark night.

The rules for the use of bows and arrows in the army of the ancient Xia Dynasty are far bows and near crossbows, the bow can reach far, generally used in the border army, most of the crossbow arrows are Huang Gong crossbows, which are conducive to close combat, with iron as arrows, the arrow is eight inches long, a crossbow and ten arrows are fired, and the officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Guard patrolling the city are issued with a Huang Gong crossbow.

There are three kinds of arrows distributed by the Huang Gong crossbow, one is the armor-piercing arrow, the second is the raw arrow, and the third is the long stack of arrows.

In the Yuanying realm, if the monk has no treasure to protect himself in the chaotic arrows, he will definitely die.

The team of the men in black still quickly rose up in a black mist as last time, but this time they did not take the initiative to attack, and the officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Guard were not in a hurry to attack, but they rang the gong vigorously to summon reinforcements.

"Bold thief, don't abandon the blade again, let go of the arrow!"

"Woohoo......" A terrible beast roar came from the black mist.

In the light of the flickering torches, dozens of crimson wind blades flew out of the black mist in a flash, slashing murderously towards the officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Guard.

"Whew".

An earthy yellow light suddenly lit up outside the simple formation, and it collided with the slashed wind blade, and the defensive formation swayed from side to side, almost collapsing.

Without waiting for the officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Guard to counterattack, two red-headed demon scorpions crawled out of the black mist, and suddenly slammed into the improvised defensive formation with their two front paws.

As soon as the two demon scorpions appeared, a powerful and terrifying aura of coercion enveloped the officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Guard in the simple defense formation.

"Brothers, be careful, this is a Yuanying-level puppet, release arrows, release arrows......" The two monks in the Jinwu Guard army shouted frantically.
