"What?" Du Chongwei suspected that his ears had misheard.

"Someone wants to kill the Lord. Seventeen said again.

Du Chongwei looked at Seventeen or Two suspiciously, and said in a deep voice, "How do you know?"

Seventeen seemed to think for a while, and then replied, "Did you do it?"

Du Chongwei understood that Seventeen didn't know about the assassination that happened in the afternoon of Shuai, but with his keen intuition and various signs, he should have guessed it now.

Sighing, Du Chongwei didn't hide it from Seventeen, and briefly said the assassination that happened in the afternoon, and said, "Seventeen, tell me, who has to get rid of the old man?"

Seventeen shook his head and replied, "I don't know, this piece of paper is a clue." ”

As he spoke, Seventeen took out a note from his bosom and placed it on the table.

Du Chongwei looked intently, and saw a line of words written crookedly on the note: "Tonight's third watch, under the big locust tree of Qiliqiao, we have to discuss things." This is apparently written with the left hand in order to prevent the handwriting from being recognized.

Du Chongwei's heart tightened, his snub to Seventeen had been known by someone with a heart, and someone wanted to win over Seventeen to deal with him. This is indeed an opportunity, an opportunity to find out who the other side is.

"The other party just invited you to meet, and didn't say that they wanted to deal with Ben Shuai, why did you insist that they wanted to assassinate Ben Shuai?" Du Chongwei stared at this seventeen. If Seventeen's answer to this question is half a word wrong, he will immediately summon the guards and the black-clothed guards to take Seventeen.

Seventeen replied, "The black-clothed guards outside the tent have tripled!"

Du Chongwei understood that Seventeen meant that he didn't know that someone was going to assassinate Du Chongwei at first, but when he found that the number of black-clothed guards lurking outside the tent had increased three times more than usual, he immediately realized that the person wanted to assassinate Du Chongwei.

If you want to assassinate Du Chongwei, who is better than Seventeen? Seventeen is a killer, and he has been trained in strict assassination since he was a child, and even a first-class master may not be able to avoid Seventeen's assassination.

The most important thing is that there is a conflict between Seventeen and Du Chongwei, with Du Chongwei's style of acting, it is very likely that Seventeen will be eliminated, so Seventeen is naturally their ally. And Seventeen is a black-clothed guard no matter what, and Du Chongwei's vigilance against Seventeen has always relaxed. Therefore, the other party made a dangerous move and prepared to win over Seventeen.

Thinking of this, Du Chongwei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Seventeen, what are you going to do next?"

"Go to the appointment!" replied Seventeen, without much thought, "stalk, catch a big fish!"

Seventeen's idea was to take this opportunity to get in touch with the man, and then follow the vine to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Du Chongwei thought for a while and said, "Since the other party has asked you, it is impossible that no one will spy on you, and someone will find out when you come here." ”

Seventeen flipped through the clothes outside, revealing the black night clothes, and said, "Hide, no one will find out." "Seventeen is very sure of his ability to hide his whereabouts.

Du Chongwei pondered for a moment, called in the commander of the soldiers who was guarding outside the tent, and told him to go and find Ersansan immediately, and not to attract attention.

After a while, two, three, and three came to the tent.

Du Chongwei pointed to the two, three, three and said: "Seventeen, what you did today made the old man very pleased, and for more than 20 years, the old man has not mistaken you." This matter will be left to you, and if you need any support, tell 233 directly, and 233 will fully support you. ”

"I have the conditions!" said Seventeen suddenly.

Two, three, and three were stunned for a while, this is a great opportunity for Seventeen to repair the relationship with Du Chongwei, Seventeen talked to Du Chongwei about conditions at this time, does he really want to die?

Du Chongwei was silent for a long time, and said coldly: "Say!"

Seventeen said word by word: "No matter when, you must not hurt Yuan'er and the child in her womb." ”

Time passed bit by bit, and before I knew it, it was already the third watch.

The moon and stars are scarce, on the big locust tree of Qili Bridge, a person dressed in black, covered with a black scarf, curled up between the branches, not paying attention to it, it is difficult to find that there is still a person hidden between the branches.

Around the big locust tree, there is an open space, more than ten zhang, shallow withered grass, can not hide a person at all.

Seventeen was also dressed in black, carrying a long sword behind his back, and walked under the big locust tree step by step, looked at the surrounding environment, and looked at the moon in the sky, and shouted in a low voice: "The third watch has arrived, come out!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhiting "whoosh" shot three crossbow arrows from a small forest more than ten zhang away, fast and fast, in the shape of a zigzag from behind towards Seventeen.

Seventeen was already strong in martial arts, and he had practiced the Guiyuan swordsmanship given to him by Li Fengyun, and his strength had reached a higher level, how could he not be aware of the conspiracy behind it. As soon as he turned around, Seventeen flashed the three crossbow arrows, only to hear three "bang bang" sounds, and the three crossbow arrows pierced deep into the trunk of the big locust tree.

Seventeen shouted angrily, and the probe drew his sword from behind his back, and was about to pounce on the woods, when suddenly he grew and suddenly pulled up from the ground, like a strange bird, and stabbed the sword straight at the man in black who was hiding among the branches.

The man in black also pulled out the dagger on his waist, originally wanting to attack Seventeen from behind, but he didn't expect Seventeen to find him early, but instead preemptively attacked him in advance.

The man in black was caught off guard, and hurriedly waved the dagger to resist, but as soon as the dagger touched the seventeenth sword, he felt a strong internal force that shook his mouth numb, and the dagger could no longer hold it, and was shocked away with a "whoosh", and the sword seemed to be unaffected, and stabbed straight at his chest.

The man in black was so frightened that his face changed, and he shouted, "Stop, stop quickly......"

"Poof!" Seventeen's sword deflected slightly, and the sword pierced into the left shoulder of the man in black, and then a powerful internal force exploded at the shoulder of the man in black.

The man in black was shocked by the internal force, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", and could no longer stand up, and fell from the big locust tree with a "plop".

Seventeen followed him like a shadow, and also jumped down from the big locust tree, the tip of the sword against the neck of the man in black, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come out!"

"Good kung fu, it really deserves its reputation!" Another man in black walked out of the woods, also masked in a black scarf, threw the crossbow in his hand aside, raised his hand to signal, indicating that he didn't bring other weapons, "Li Si, I told you a long time ago that his martial arts are far above you and me, even if you and I join forces, they are not his opponents." But if you don't listen, you have to try his skills, and now you have to suffer!"

Seventeen snorted coldly: "His name is Li Si, and your name is Zhang San?"

The man in black who came out of the woods laughed twice and replied, "Yes, my name is Zhang San." The name is just a mark. Should we call you Cold Rain Tower, or Seventeen?"

Obviously, Zhang San and Li Si are their names at random, and they can't be taken seriously. Seventeen was noncommittal, but said coldly: "What are you looking for me?"

"Let go of Li Si, we have no malicious intent. Zhang San said, "We just see that your current situation is very dangerous, and we want to help you find a way out." In a few months, your child should be born, and you don't want to be born without seeing his father, right?"

The tip of Seventeen's sword trembled slightly, and Li Si, who fell to the ground, noticed this subtle change, stretched out his fingers and slowly pushed away the sword against his neck, forcibly pressed the Zhen Yuan who was churning in his chest, and the sharp pain in his shoulder, and said, "Leng Yulou, we tried to test you, it was our fault." But if you don't tempt, how do you know if you really have the ability?

You know your situation in your own heart, Du Chongwei doesn't trust you anymore, what will happen to a black-clothed guard who is not trusted, you yourself should know better than our brothers. ”

Zhang San said: "As long as you cooperate with us, we will guarantee the safety of you and your wife and children after the matter is completed." In the future, whether you plan to stay in Kaifeng City or go to another place to live in seclusion, no one will harass you again.

Not only that, but we will also give you 10,000 taels of silver, which is enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. ”

"If not," Li Si said in a deep voice, "even if Du Chongwei doesn't kill you, we won't let you go." And it's not just you. Do you think Feng Yuan'er is safe hiding in the Lu Guogong Mansion? Do you think that with Hedong Shuangsha, everything will be worry-free?

You are also a killer, you should understand that there is more than one means of killing, and high martial arts may not necessarily save your life. ”

"I'll kill you!" Seventeen's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"It's easy to kill us!" Li Si sneered, "With your martial arts, it's not difficult to kill me and Zhang San." But you have to think clearly, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. Kill us, and you won't survive.

Of course, we also know that as a killer, you have not taken your life to heart, but have you ever thought about it, if you die, how many days can your charming wife and unborn child live? ”

"Who are you?" said Seventeen's voice without a hint of emotion.

Li Sihaha laughed and said: "Leng Yulou, why bother asking such stupid words? I said that we are the subordinates of the mountain carving of Weihu Mountain, do you believe it? Give me an explanation, we are all from the rivers and lakes, be happy!"

"Why do I believe you?" said Seventeen's voice, still as cold as ice.

"You have no choice!" Li Si replied, "Life is a gamble, it only depends on you to bet big and small." If you bet right, you win a lot of money, and if you bet wrong, you lose completely. Do you want us to kill someone to show you? It's not a very difficult thing, who are you going to want us to kill? Feng Yuan'er, or your unborn child?"

Seventeen was silent, and only after a long time did he grit his teeth and say: "Damage a hair, the end of the world, never stop!"

Zhang San smiled and said: "It's serious, we don't have any grudges in the first place, so why bother to kill people? As long as you cooperate with us, anything can be discussed." It's okay to be prosperous and rich, after the matter is completed, if you don't believe us, you can find the marquis, the relationship between the two of you is not ordinary!"

After thinking for a long time, Seventeen said: "It takes time to think about it." ”

Zhang San nodded: "It's very reasonable, three days later, we will make another appointment." ”
