Chapter 976: The Night Is Coming

Jiang Liudie was reluctant to tell Hou Xiaohu, and Hou Xiaohu was embarrassed to ask directly, so the matter was directly delayed.

The location of their courtyard is relatively secluded, and the hustle and bustle of the big market in the central square of the village of Gaoxi City can no longer be heard from here.

However, because it is not far from Xiangshui, when the surroundings are quiet, the sound of the river rushing past and hitting the cliff clearly came into Hou Xiaohu's ears.

The shopkeeper had already brought the food, Hou Xiaohu had no appetite for the time being, and after sending the food to Jiang Liudie and Mu'er, Hou Xiaohu made an excuse and left. He walked around the courtyard a few times, and when he saw that the sky was slowly getting dark, he walked directly into the courtyard and walked towards Xiangshui in the south.

The whole courtyard is very quiet, although this inn covers a very large area, but there are very few guests, and these single courtyards in the backyard are only the courtyards of Hou Xiaohu and the three people. I don't know why the owner of this inn bought such a large area to build this big inn in such a remote place.

The cliff near the river is not far away, and after Hou Xiaohu came out of the back door of the inn's backyard, he walked along a path that was stepped out by the innkeeper for a while, and then came to a cliff.

An unknown length of rope was coiled aside, and at one end of the rope was a small bucket tied to it, which seemed to be used by the innkeeper to draw water. Ten zhang below the cliff, there is the Xiangshui flowing all the way to the east. Although it is the end of the lunar month, the temperature in Nanzhou has not reached the freezing point, and the Hunan water below is still flowing happily.

"After following me for so long, it's time to come out. ”

Hou Xiaohu faced Xiangshui under the cliff, but suddenly said behind him.

Just a moment ago, Hou Xiaohu's qi suddenly had an unfamiliar aura in his qi sense, but the owner of this aura did not seem to be friendly, but there was a bit of killing intent in that breath. However, the aura did not seem to be very stable, and if there was, he was not sure that the owner of the aura really existed not far behind. Since Hou Xiaohu couldn't be sure, he might as well lie to the other party, so that the person thought that he had found out, and he couldn't say that he would show his feet.

Of course, Hou Xiaohu's move was actually of little use to many high-level assassins who had been walking on the rivers and lakes for many years. After all, to be a qualified assassin, strength is secondary, but the most important thing is mentality. Without perseverance and perseverance, and the determination not to be easily disturbed by the outside world, one would not be a good Assassin.

The assassins who are easily deceived are basically rookie assassins who are new to the game. Unstable mentality, easily distracted by the enemy's tricks, so that revealing one's movements, breath, and even soul fluctuations are all mistakes that rookie assassins make. And many rookie assassins fall on such small mistakes that their mission fails, or even dies.

But this assassin is obviously not the kind of inexperienced rookie assassin, although the slightly leaking murderous aura was captured by Hou Xiaohu, but Hou Xiaohu's bluffing words had no effect on that person at all. On the contrary, the killer even restrained all his aura, so that after Hou Xiaohu finished saying that, he couldn't find that murderous aura anymore.

His brows twitched slightly, Hou Xiaohu walked quietly on the edge of the cliff, his right hand attached to his waist, only a stone's throw away from his saber, as long as there was a situation, he could draw his sword at any time.

However, Hou Xiaohu's other hand was on his chest, and his middle finger had already reached into his clothes, and next to his fingertips was a special leather bag with a broken knife. He can pull a smasher from his bosom at any time to deal with the enemy.

I don't know when, the wind gradually subsided, and the night slowly covered the sky, a trace of murder, but it also quietly came.
