Chapter 168: Yingzhou after a long time (5)
A row of side rooms in front of me came into view, the lights were dimmed, and I wondered if the people inside were asleep. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Shan Yi walked quietly close to the base of the wall, snoring one after another, and in the last room, there was a faint sound of sobbing.
Looking through the crack in the door, the room was dimly lit, but two women could be faintly seen, one of them was wearing a water-red dress, and both of them were tied hands and feet, it seemed that these were the two girls under the captive silkworm frame.
The door was locked with a copper lock, and although the evil spirit dagger could break through the copper lock, it would inevitably make a noise that alarmed the thugs in the chamber.
"Sister, look, there's something stuffed in the crack of the door!" the girl in the water red dress stopped sobbing, and moved to the door with difficulty, and saw that what was stuffed in was a snow-blue cloth with the words "Waiting for help" on it, which seemed to have been burned out of fire.
Looking out through the crack in the door, it was empty. In the distance, the imposing houses were still brightly lit, as if a banquet had been held.
Shan Yi jumped onto the roof like a cat, slashing his fists, and the sound of drinking orders was endless.
The roof tiles were so tight that they couldn't be removed, so Shan Yi had to fall back to the ground, listen to the wall of the hall for a while, and through the crack in the window, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on the main seat, drinking heartily, and the young man who was called the young gang leader was sitting beside him.
The middle-aged man asked drunkenly: "My son is doing well in Yueling, didn't he come back today to visit his father?"
The guests at the table laughed.
"Don't mention it," the young gang leader looked sad, "There has just been a plague in Agarwood Town, and the people in the town want to flee into the city, and the Yueling government has sent a bunch of officers and soldiers to drive the refugees, and the cars entering the city are carefully checked, and this salt selling work is not easy to do." ”
Outside the wall, the single ripple listened quietly.
The young helper said: "Fortunately, in the name of Xuanjing Hall, I took over the work of transporting people from the Condensing Frost Palace, and it is not a loss." ”
"Who's going to do it?"
"Dead people, I heard that the Frost Palace is going to collect the dead to prevent the plague from spreading. ”
The young gang leader smiled slyly, "But ah, I know that the Frost Palace has found a secret method from somewhere that can bring the dead to life." ”
"Pure nonsense..."
"Don't believe it, I still see it, it's really alive, or let's stop relying on Xuanjing Hall, let's take refuge in the Frost Palace as soon as possible." ”
Shan Yi was listening intently, suddenly, there was a slight movement behind him, Shan Yi quickly jumped back, pulled out the evil spirit dagger on his waist, and in a blink of an eye, Shan Yi was already standing behind the visitor, the mouth and nose of the person who came were covered, and the dagger blade of Ziyan swimming was on his white neck.
"Shut up. Shan Yi threatened.
It turned out to be just a maid with a jar of wine in her hand, and was about to send it to the wine table, when Shan Yi saw that her hands and feet were chained, and her clothes were similar to those of the woman in Cicada Village.
"Miss Wang?" Shan Yi asked tentatively, remembering the girl the old fisherman said about who had been taken away a few months ago.
The maid's body shook, and the wine jar in her hand slid down, and the wine jar shattered.
Shan Yi glanced at it, no one seemed to come out of the house, and the middle-aged man sitting in the front seat shouted drunkenly, "What's wrong?"
Shan Yi let go of Wang Qinghan's mouth and motioned for her to answer.
"Back to the master, the slave knocked over the wine jar. Wang Qinghan's voice was very weak.
"How did I get such a stupid woman from Cicada Village, go and replay a pot, don't beat you today, don't sweep Lao Tzu's fun!"
"Yes. Wang Qinghan replied in a choked voice.
Shan Yi said in a low voice: "There is a fishing boat parked on the north bank, you can leave now." ”
Wang Qinghan looked at Shan Yi timidly: "No, there are two sisters locked in the wing." ”
Originally, the Red Gang thugs in the wing room did not pose a threat to Shan Yi at all, but it was more than enough to catch three women who were powerless, Shan Yi only needed to collect enough information, and then solve the Red Gang leader and the young gang leader Even if the task was completed, there was no need to take other people's lives, which was time-consuming and laborious.
"I'm going to steal the keys. Wang Qinghan plucked up courage.
Shan Yi glanced at the evil spirit dagger glowing with cold light in his hand disapprovingly, and whispered, "Remember, if you still want to stay here, I have no obligation to save you." ”
Wang Qinghan was still hesitating whether to believe in this unkind man, or to report to the Red Gang in exchange for the trust of the Red Gang, but when he saw the cold light of the evil spirit dagger, he felt that there was no way out.
Shan Yi handed Wang Qinghan a small packet of poison.
"Childe, wait a minute. Wang Qinghan took the medicine bag, went back to the wine cellar to remake a jar of wine, and sprinkled the medicine powder into it.
Shan Yi tiptoed onto the roof, and the movement below was unobstructed, if Wang Qinghan was ready to report the news, Shan Yi was also ready to fight.
After entering the hall for a long time, Wang Qinghan walked out and waved his sleeves, which seemed to be going well.
"If you alarm the thugs, lead them to the stake and don't go in yourself. Shan Yi taught Wang Qinghan a few words.
Wang Qinghan followed Shan Yi's point, and sure enough, he saw a wooden stake for practicing martial arts in the distance.
"But you—" Wang Qinghan was a little worried.
Shan Yi couldn't help but think of Luo Yuan'er who he met in Suzhou City, with the same expression, but Luo Yuan'er was not so weak.
"Take care, Childe. Wang Qinghan ran in the direction of the wing.
Shan Yi was just about to take a step, when an arrogant voice sounded from behind: "Stop." ”
Shan Yi clenched the evil spirit dagger in his right hand and turned around.
"The courage is not small, and he dares to break into the Red Gang alone, which is very admirable. In the Xia Chi Gang, Zhang Qu. ”
Zhang Qu pulled out one of the two bronze sabers at his waist.
"I also admire you, the young helper, who dared to intercept me alone. ”
The corners of Shan Yi's mouth raised, "Shan Yi of Evil Wind Valley is ordered to eradicate the Red Gang." ”
"The disciple of the sect that destroyed the sect is not small," Zhang Qu gritted his teeth and sneered.
Zhang Qu held the handle of the knife with both hands, stepped forward with his front foot, and the soles of his feet touched the ground, making a heavy muffled sound, and the tip of the knife drew an arc in mid-air, blocking the waist and slashing towards the single ripple.
The heavy bronze knife surface was split, and the knife wind brought up cut through countless willow branches, and suddenly the willow leaves were like a small rain.
"It's too slow..."Shan Yi unconsciously stood behind Zhang Qu.
Zhang Qu jumped up, turned around and raised his knife, and slashed with all his strength, wanting to kill the kid in front of him with one blow.
Shan Yi held the evil spirit in his hand, raised his arm, and rested it horizontally in front of his forehead.
"Boom!" the metal collided.
The bronze knife in Zhang Qu's hand broke into two, flew out of his hand, and stuck it on the ground.
"You underestimate me too much," Shan Yi raised his eyebrows, "If you don't show some skills, you can't move me." ”
As soon as Shan Yi's words fell, his body had already rushed over like lightning, and the tip of the dagger was pointed directly at Zhang Qu's throat, after all, this is not a place to compete, on the battlefield, those who hesitate will definitely lose.
There was another crisp sound of blades colliding, and Zhang Qu pulled out another bronze knife from his waist, blocking Shan Yi's fatal blow, and Shan Yi jumped back in the air and stood firmly in his original position. (To be continued.) )
