The night was windy, and the front window that was not closed before going to bed blew "clang" and "clang". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Han Rui didn't fall asleep, but he didn't feel how noisy, but he was afraid that there would be a heavy rain in the second half of the night, and the road would be muddy tomorrow morning, and it would be difficult to hurry,—— so it was better to set off later, and wait for the sun to make the road harder, and the carriage would be brisker, after all, the car was loaded with more than a dozen jars of good wine, and the weight was not light.

At the thought of the wine, he couldn't help but sigh in a sullen voice.

Qingming is approaching, and he naturally wants to go to the grave of his best friend, the former helmsman of the Huizhou branch of the Loyalty League, Shang Zheng. And his eldest brother Shang was very good at wine during his lifetime, and he liked to drink Quanzhou's special sorghum wine the most.

As the helmsman of Quanzhou of the Loyal and Righteous League, he may not be able to get other things from Han Rui, but it is still very easy to get more than a dozen jars of good wine. Taking these wines and walking more than 100 miles to send them to Brother Shang's grave can be regarded as his intention to be a brother.

Speaking of the death of his friend Shang Zheng, Han Rui really felt a deep guilt in his heart.

It happened at the beginning of the lunar month of the previous year. As the helmsman of the Loyalty League, Han Rui and his friend Shang Zheng went to Jingyang together to participate in the annual helmsman gathering of the Loyalty League. Unexpectedly, on the way back, they were intercepted and killed by the northerners who infiltrated the territory of Dayu.

The situation at that time was truly terrifying, the assassin's kung fu was extremely high, and he beheaded Shang Zheng in a few moves. When Han Rui saw it, he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly took his subordinates to the desert, and fled back to Quanzhou all the way.

Although he saved his life, he saw his best friend die tragically in front of him, and he didn't even have the courage to sacrifice his life with the enemy who killed him!

Every time he recalls the scene of that day, Han Rui can't help but be afraid and blame himself.

It is precisely because of this ambivalence that he will take wine every Qingming and travel a long distance to worship at the grave of Shangzheng in Huizhou. Half of it is out of sincere nostalgia for his friends, and the other half is also to make his heart feel better.

However, although this year's trip to Huizhou has already been decided, Han Rui felt a little uneasy in his heart, and even hesitated several times to cancel the trip.

The reason why he thought this way was because some of the things that had happened recently were too worrying and unsettling.

Half a year ago, Zhanjiang, the Luzhou branch of the Loyal and Righteous League, was killed in a restaurant in Luzhou City.

Soon after, the new helmsman of Huizhou, who succeeded Shang Zheng, was also assassinated in the courtyard of his second wife.

Then three months ago, after attending the year-end rudder main party, the Fuzhou helmsman returned to Fuzhou from Jingyang, but he didn't expect to be killed in the inn where he stayed at night just after stepping into his own Fuzhou territory.

The three assassinations in succession all occurred on the one acre and three points of land of the murdered helmsman, and the subordinates who were following them at that time did not even see the shadow of the assassin, which shows how high the assassin's kung fu is, it is simply impossible to prevent it!

In the following two or three months, people continued to be killed in each rudder, although their status was lower than that of the rudder, but after all, they all belonged to the Loyal and Righteous League. It can be seen that the killing of the Loyal Alliance is not only far from stopping, but also intensifying.

In such a tense situation, how could the members of the Loyal Alliance not be afraid and put themselves at risk? For security reasons, the Helmsmen now had to take many of their subordinates with them every time they traveled, after all, the large number of people might deter the Assassins who were waiting in the shadows.

Therefore, this time to Huizhou, Han Ruishi has made sufficient preparations, not only selected more than a dozen subordinates with good kung fu to accompany him, but also arranged the entire itinerary very safely and thoroughly. He planned to only take the official road with more pedestrians, and he would not be greedy for darkness and not early, so as to minimize the possibility of a sneak attack.

According to the plan, he will stay at the Fulong Inn tomorrow night, and he has not yet left the boundary of Quanzhou, starting from here, it only takes more than two hours to walk slowly, and there is plenty of time, even if he goes on the road later, he should not delay anything.

Thinking that he didn't have to get up early tomorrow, Han Rui's nervous mood suddenly relaxed, and he suddenly felt that the interest that he had been unable to raise because of his worries and anxieties these days had come again.

He turned sideways, put his hand on the back of the sleeping woman beside him, lifted the thin silk shirt on her body, and stroked her tender skin, thinking that he should enjoy this mesmerizing body one last time.

Just as his hand was about to tear off the woman's silk shirt, he suddenly felt her body stiffen obviously, and then he kept trembling slightly.

Han Rui's gaze immediately became gloomy, and one hand grabbed the arm of the woman who had been pretending to be asleep, forcing her to turn her face to face her.

Although it was dark in the room, Han Rui, who had always been proud of his eyesight, could clearly see that the woman's eyes were shining with tears. He couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, and immediately turned over and sat up, grabbed the woman's long hair, and threw her directly under the bed with the force of his arm!

The woman fell to the ground with a thud and began to weep.

Han Rui stared at her fiercely, his palms flexed and stretched several times, and finally restrained the idea of slashing her to death with one palm.

He thought in his heart that anyway, as soon as he left tomorrow, his subordinates would send her to the county government according to his orders, and the living were always worth a few more than the dead. Hmph! These hidden evil people, although they look good, are all cheap people who don't know what to do!

Thinking of this, he rolled over and lay down again, ready to sleep well before dawn.

By this time, the woman had stopped crying, but she did not dare to get up, for fear of another beating. She curled up and continued to lie on the cold ground, her eyes overflowing with tears gradually accumulating a layer of hatred.

Han Rui was a little asleep at first because of the noise from the unclosed front window, but he really didn't bother to get up and close it, and he didn't bother to order the woman to close it, because he didn't want to say another word to that slut.

Gradually, the sleepiness still came up, and he finally fell asleep.

Hearing heavy snoring from the bed, the woman secretly gritted her teeth and slowly sat up from the ground.

She crawled a few steps in the darkness to a table. Then she slowly stood up, reached out and picked up the jade lion on the table, which was half a foot tall and was used as a paperweight, and turned around and quietly walked to Han Rui's bed.

Without the slightest hesitation, she raised the jade lion in her hand high and smashed it towards Han Rui's head-

Suddenly, a sharp pain from his head woke Han Rui from his sleep, he screamed, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the jade lion in the woman's hand smashing down on his head again!

He hurriedly rolled his body to the side, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. Then he jumped up from the bed, raised his leg and kicked the jade lion in the woman's hand, and then spun around and kicked the woman in the lower abdomen, kicking her backwards and falling out.

The woman's body slammed into the wall behind her, and then fell heavily to the ground.

At this time, Han Rui's head was bleeding, and a wisp of blood flowed down the corner of his forehead, blurring his eyes. He wiped his hand on his face to clear his gaze, then got out of bed with a sinister smile on his face, and walked step by step towards the woman who had attacked him.

The woman's mouth was also covered with blood, and she was paralyzed on the ground, unable to move. However, when she saw Han Rui, whose face was covered with blood and a hideous expression, approached her, there was no fear in her eyes, only bitter hatred!

Han Rui walked up to the woman, reached out and grabbed her slender neck, and with a little force, lifted her up from the ground. He then slammed her body against the wall behind her, so that her feet dangled in the air and could not find support, while his hands pressed hard and strangled her by the neck, trying to strangle her to death.

The woman's body writhed only a few times before she gave up the struggle, her dark eyes staring indifferently ahead, ready for death.

Unexpectedly, Han Rui suddenly let go of his hand at this time.

Of course, he didn't let the woman go of the slightest thought, and the reason why he didn't kill her immediately was because he wanted to watch this cheap woman who dared to murder him die slowly and painfully. So when he noticed that her breathing had stopped, he relaxed his hands again so that she would not die immediately.

After the woman opened her mouth and gasped sharply, her eyes, which had been looking behind Han Rui, suddenly lit up-

At this moment, Han Rui also felt that something was wrong, and suddenly let go of his hand, letting the woman's body slide to the ground, while he himself turned around quickly, looking at the black-clothed man who had come behind him at some point.

And this glance became his last look in this world!

When he saw the silver mask on the face of the man in black, he also heard a sharp arrow in his ears......

Without taking another look at Han Rui's fallen body, the man in black stepped forward to help the woman who fell to the ground, and then carried her behind him, and quickly jumped out of the open front window.

At this moment, the sound of running footsteps was already heard all around, and it should be Han Rui's subordinates who heard the roar of Fang Cai's arrows and were rushing over here.

The man in black listened carefully to the direction of the sound, and then flew up to the roof with his feet, and flew away into the distance under the cover of night.

At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly pierced the night sky, just illuminating the figure of the man in black rising into the air. The members of the Loyal Alliance, who had arrived at the eaves, looked up and could only see the man's long hair dancing in the wind, and the half-naked woman behind him.

As the electric light faded, the figures on the roof disappeared into the darkness......
