Chapter 39: Sneak Attack

"Ah! Ah--" Seeing the man's head rolling down, Kong Hengji was the first to scream again, sat down to the ground, kicking his legs and retreating.
His sissy and intense reaction calmed everyone else.
Lei Buji had seen the dead and didn't say anything. Although the doctor Tian Wu looked frightened, he still sat there without moving; Xie Run looked at Sun Yixi with a cautious look on his face, and his suspicion was beyond words.
As for Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, they simply... went to the corpse and started watching.
"Brother Huang, the incision is a bit neat." Sun Yixie said.
"Yes, it may not be so neat if you cut the treasure weapon with one knife. I think it was done by someone with high martial arts skills." Huang Donglai said.
"And my head suddenly fell off, and the blood didn't spew out, but slowly flowed down..." Sun Yixie said again.
"That must have been hit by some kind of poison that can cause blood clots before death, and then the head was cut and it looked like it was still sleeping." Huang Donglai continued the other party's words.
"Everyone fell asleep just now. Why did you think the murderer just mess with him and not us?" Sun Yixie said.
"That means that the murderer has no motive to kill the rest of us, or is it...what is there any difficulty?" Huang Donglai said.
"Oh? For example?" Sun Yixii said.
"For example... we didn't fall asleep just now, we were just stuck in some kind of hallucination. He was the only one who actually fell asleep, so the murderer could only kill him." Huang Donglai said.
"Well...is there any other possibility?" Sun Yixie said again.
"For example... for some reason, the murderer hopes, or needs us to live, because he has some intentions for those of us who are alive." Huang Donglai continued, "Of course it is possible... He thinks that we will all die at his hands sooner or later, so he is not in a hurry, come one by one, and wants to play with us."
"Mom! So, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time!" Sun Yixi said.
"That's it!" Huang Donglai said, "It must be strange, otherwise we should withdraw."
They said something like a match for crosstalk. They were very skillful and naturally, and then they were about to run away with their luggage.
Xie Run thought to himself when he saw this: "You two are so awesome. You talk to the corpse and explain it. And after that, he immediately wanted to apply oil to the soles of his feet... What if you two killed that person?"
So he immediately stepped forward and stopped them: "Let's wait!"
As soon as he blew, Sun and Huang also stopped moving.
Xie Run then said, "No one can leave until the matter is clear."
"Why!" At this moment, Kong Hengji interrupted again, "Now the head of this person has fallen. Whether it is a human or a ghost, it has nothing to do with me, no matter what kind of person is it! This temple is so evil, do you still want us to stay here and wait for you to die?"
After saying that, he began to pack the bookcase, stuffed the books he had just put out to dry, and carried the bookcase and prepared to leave.
Xie Runcai didn't care what he thought, and flashed over and pressed his bookcase with his palm: "I said... Before the matter was clear, no one, can go."
Kong Hengji was also anxious. He used all his strength to pull the bookcase that was held down by the other party with one hand, but the bookcase did not move at all.
"You... why are you unreasonable!" Seeing that the other party was just not allowing him to leave, Kong Hengji began to be incompetent and furious.
"I'm not reasonable?" Xie Run repeated this and snorted coldly, "Hmph... If I really don't reason, now I'll kill you all, and I'll feel at ease." He paused, "It's because I'm still reasonable that I said 'I need to figure things out'."
Speaking of this, he no longer pressed Kong Hengji's bookcase, but raised his hand and pressed it to the scholar's shoulder.
When Kong Hengji heard his words "Kill them all", his face turned pale. At this moment, when Xie Run pressed his shoulders lightly, Kong Hengji immediately became weak and he knelt on the ground again.
"Brother, you're a little bullying, right?" At this time, Huang Donglai said again, "Looking at me, you don't look like a person from the evil sect. Since you are all right in the martial arts world, then you have to have an explanation for your current actions, right?"
Huang Donglai was still alert and did not turn against the other party for now. He used the words "Jianghu" to test it out.
Xie Run did take this trick, and then he bowed his fists and replied loudly: "It's over, I won't hide it from you. I'm indeed not Xu Ren. My name is Xie Run, who is the third leader of the Yiyong Escort Agency - "Shi Zhonghu" Xie Run."
Sun Yixie didn't know the name of a man, the tree's shadow, but Huang Donglai must have heard of the young master of the martial arts family.
"It turns out it's Brother Xie, I have been admired for a long time." Huang Donglai immediately put on a "respectful face" and bowed his fists.
"It's easy to say." Xie Run also replied with a greeting and asked again, "Little brother, you just said that you were Huang Donglai, but you didn't report it to the sect. Can you tell me now?"
According to the rules of the world, only when people in the world communicate with each other's names will they report all the nicknames of the sect. When introducing themselves to ordinary people, they can only say the names, and there is no need to tell other information, because even if you tell them, they may not have heard of them.
So, before... when Xie Run had not revealed his identity, Huang Donglai specifically said only the names and not the others when introducing him and Sun Lei.
This detail that seems indifferent is actually very meaningful: first, it can conceal the point that "you already know that there are other people in the strangers present." Second, it is also a kind of politeness. Since others do not admit it, it means that there is any inconvenience. You don't have to do things that may expose others.
"Of course." Since he was asked, Huang Donglai did not hide it. "Where is Huangmen in the Huangmen in the middle of Shu, Huang Donglai."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Run's expression, which was originally a bit arrogant, changed.
The four words "Huangmen in Shuzhong" can be interpreted from a certain perspective: no matter how high your martial arts are, you may easily die at their hands.
However, from another perspective and thinking about it, Xie Run felt that this was a very reassuring answer.
First of all, Huangmen is a martial arts family, and has been a righteous person for generations, and has a good reputation. Secondly, if the other party really wants to harm him, he can just lie about the names of other sects, or evasively say that he is learning art from an unknown person, why bother to say that Huangmen is a sect that makes people think of poisoning?
Thinking of this, Xie Run suddenly became enlightened and suddenly felt cautious about Sun, Huang and Lei.
"So you are the famous young master of the Huang Sect, you are so respectful." Although Xie Run did not know the specific name of the young master of the Huang Sect before today, he knew that there was only one young master in the Huang Sect generation, and he should be about the same age as the young man in front of him, so it is not difficult to draw this conclusion.
"Brother Xie, please be polite." Huang Donglai felt that the greeting was almost done, so he took the opportunity to bring the topic back. "Let's talk about the matter in front of you first... But I don't know why Brother Xie didn't let everyone leave here, and he had to find out the dead first?"
Xie Run thought about it and made up his mind, Fang said, "I'll just say it now..." As he said that, he gently patted the bag on his hand that he had never spread out. "Today, Xie... was escorting; and for the incident just now, I suspected that there was an "evil tiger blocking the way (the jarathor of the escort)" and wanted to use the ability to pretend to be a god and ghost to deal with me. That person, or those people, may be hidden in this temple, or even... mixed with our group."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Hengji, who was standing beside him, became excited again and whispered: "Don't slander people innocence out of thin air! I'm a scholar!"
Xie Run was very calm. He didn't have a quarrel with the other party, but just replied calmly: "I will judge who you are, so I don't have to scream."
Some people may think that Xie Run is a bit domineering, but in fact, if you compare horizontally, he is already quite polite.
In those days, human lives were very worthless, and there were still many cases of revenge and killing in the world that affected the people. To put it bluntly, no one knew about killing you in this wilderness, and you still talked about human rights to you?
If someone really plans to rob the robbery here today, no matter how cautious and domineering Xie Run is... it is understandable, because if his suspicion comes true, the robbery will definitely not let the others present after dealing with Xie Run.
"Then... Xie Daxia, what are you planning now?" At this moment, Tian Wude, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke and asked a very constructive question.
"Good question." Xie Run turned his head and replied to the doctor, then looked at Sun Huanglei and the other two, and continued, "If you don't mind, I would like to ask you to open your luggage and see if there are anything like a drug or a weapon inside."
When Lei Buji heard this, he screamed: "Hey? You're not right. My Brother Huang is the young master of the Huang Sect. He must have carried all kinds of medicines on him. The one I brought with me, Brother Sun is a treasure weapon. According to your words, they can't get rid of it."
"I know all this." Xie Run replied, "I will depend on the situation, too..."
Xie Run was about to explain a few words here, but unexpectedly, at this moment, suddenly...
Sun Yixi clamped his legs towards Lei Buji with a sliding shovel and took out a scissors. Huang Donglai also moved simultaneously, picking out a handful of medicine powder from his arms and plastered it on Lei Buji's face.
Everyone present was shocked. What is going on? These two people are crazy?
"Who are you? Where did you take Buji?" In the blink of an eye, Sun Yixie put Kimura lock on "Lei Buji" and tightly clamped the other party.
Huang Donglai also pasted the drug that could make people weak all over his face several times before saying, "Tell me honestly, otherwise you can learn about your brother Huang's methods."
"Two brothers...what are you doing?" The "Lei Buji" gasped and asked with a grievance, "I...I just don't."
"Fart!" Sun Yixie said, "Buji we are called 'Brother Huang' and 'Brother Sun' along the way. What do you mean by the two 'Brother Huang' and 'Brother Sun' just now?"
Huang Donglai also added: "Also, with Buqi's intelligence, how could we immediately react after hearing Brother Xie's words? In my opinion... your shout just now is not just arguing for us, but deliberately attracting suspicion to us to divert others' attention, right?"
When Huang Dong said this, he had reached into the lapel of "Lei Buji" and fumbled for a few quick times. Soon, he found two things: a small medicine bottle and a roll of steel wire wrapped around a small spool.
"Hmph... Sure enough." Huang Donglai took the steel wire to his eyes and sneered, "There are residual blood on the wire." As he spoke, he grabbed Lei Buji's hand again and spread his palm, "You have cut marks wrapped around the steel wire, and it's new. Are you going to quibble?"
At this time, Sun Yixie realized something and continued: "Boy, did you change it when you went to find Chai He before?" At this point, he was reminded by his words and his expression changed, "Oh no! Chai He! Almost extinguish the fire!"
Hearing this, Xie Run was the first to move. He roughly understood what was going on through the words of Sun and Huang. So when he heard that Chai He might have a problem, he quickly stepped forward to prepare to put out the fire.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took half a step, a strong wind swept from behind him, followed by a cold light...
Tian Wude, I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
Along the way, Xie Run never showed any slackness or flaws. Only in this moment, Xie Run's attention was not focused at all on Tian Wude, and he happened to be in a state of being facing away from Tian Wude.
So, Tian Wu had to take action.
His martial arts are not very good, but his moves are quick, accurate and dangerous...
What Tian Wu got was an needle - a silver needle that he hid in the medicine box and mixed with the acupuncture needle.
Although Xie Run's golden bell cover is strong, it also has a cover door, which is extremely small and is right at the back of its neck; that is, using needle cone-like weapons to carry out accurate sneak attacks from the rear is the most effective way to break his golden bell cover.
Tian Wude undoubtedly did his homework, otherwise he would not have dared to touch the third leader of the Yongjie Agency.
At this moment, he took a shot, and Xie Run couldn't react and was forced to take it.
As soon as the needle was inserted halfway through, Xie Run trembled all over and then fell down face down. He was just standing there at that time.
Seeing Xie Run fall down, Tian Wude looked proud and said with a smile: "Ha...it's what made me wait until you reveal your flaws."
As he said, he bent down to pick up the bag that had been removed by Xie Run.
After picking it up, he looked at the other four people present, then stopped his eyes on Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and "Lei Buji" who were entangled, and continued: "It's okay, you continue, don't worry about me, I have nothing to do with that kid, and I don't know what the hallucination just now was... Whether you three act or have a dispute, it has nothing to do with me."
He finished this sentence in a relaxed tone like watching the show, without thinking that the next second, Xie Run, who was lying on the ground, seemed to be dead... got up again.
Xie Run got up so fast. Obviously, when he was lying on the ground and pretending to die, he had figured out how to take action. This move, like a mad shark in the waves, he was about to turn the rivers and seas. When he twisted up, he had already punched and kicked at the same time.
Now it was Tian Wu's turn to be caught off guard. Moreover, Lao Tian is not a good person to practice the Golden Bell cover. His whole body is covered with a door. After Xie Run's two hits, he immediately spit out a mouthful of blood.
After being injured, Lao Tian wanted to run away, but how could Xie Run let him escape? He caught up with him with another punch, hitting Tian Wude's back.
Tian Wude could not withstand this punch. Although Xie Run had already retracted some of his strength and wanted to keep a living question, but why... Tian Wude's martial arts were a bit far from Xie Run. In addition, his lungs were really sick. When he encountered this rheumatism, the operation of his breath and internal energy was a bit messy, so the punch on the back actually killed Tian Wude.
Of course, if you die, you will die. If you kill a robber, Xie Run would not feel heartbroken. While pulling out half of the silver needle inserted into the back of his neck, he snorted coldly at the other party's body: "What a pity, if you have to come two months earlier, my cover door will still be there."
Otherwise, what if the underdeveloped communications in ancient times kill people? The information found by Tian Wude is outdated... It is precisely because of this that he died.
After picking up the bag that was taken away by the other party, Xie Run turned around and walked into the hall, focusing again on Sun Huanglei and the other two.
And the three are still entangled at this time.
Xie Run didn't talk nonsense, looked at Lei Buji and said, "The one who pretended to be Brother Lei, since you are not from the same group as the doctor named Tian, ​​who are you?"
When he asked this, the "Lei Buji" suddenly stopped resisting, his whole body fell limp, and then... started laughing.
Chapter completed!
