When it was ugly, the Yuqi Tower had already quieted down.
Don’t you think that this place is a brothel, but in ancient times, even a "nightlife place" like brothel was at most noisy around midnight. If it was late, no one would be able to move.
Of course, Hong Wei is still energetic now.
A few hours ago, when he finished chatting with the madam and sent the latter out of the room, he declared that he was tired and wanted to rest early, so he would not let the girl come to accompany him tonight.
When the madam heard this, she knew that he had taken the bait, so she pretended to be confused and left with a promise.
After that, Hongwei couldn't wait to start the preparations.
At this moment, he had already changed his clothes, prepared his bag, and took his sword and set off.
It is not difficult to see from his preparations before leaving the door that he planned to run away from the second floor after the crime, so that he could save the step of returning to this room and getting the baggage.
I have to say that his judgment is quite correct - any criminal act, one more step will make the risk of being arrested.
After all, Hong Wei is a veteran, so he still has this experience; in addition, he is also very clear that after "picking flowers", a person's body will become a little weak and his brain will become dull for a certain period of time. It is most likely to be caught at this time, so the faster you get away from the scene of the crime, the better.
To put it short, he felt that the time was almost over, Hong Wei pushed the door out of the room and took it to the door. He tiptoed along the corridor to the west wing on the second floor.
This distance is not far, it is almost the same as when you walked from the classroom to the toilet on the other floor when you were in elementary school... With Hongwei's light skills, even if he didn't make a sound, he would just raise his foot and arrive.
When he arrived at the door of the west wing, he reached out and pushed the door directly, and did not do anything like "poke the window paper first and put some cigarette in".
Because it is too easy for a master like him to subdue a weak woman. He doesn't need to use the likes of Miyan. He just needs to approach the other party quietly, quickly cover the other party's mouth, and then put the sword on the other party's neck. This is all the work.
In those days, when ordinary women encountered such situations in the middle of the night, ninety-ninety percent would be scared to the point of being blank, their whole body was weak, and they couldn't even shout... Then Hong Wei was frightened and scared again, and the other party was basically in tears in fear. As for those who were brave, strong and unscrupulous, he could not scare the other party, so he would knock him out again.
Gu—
At this moment, in the darkness, Hong Wei pushed the door lightly, but his standing feeling blocked. There was also a sound of wood touching behind the crack of the door.
He was not surprised by this, it was nothing more than the door being bolted from the inside.
Although most brothel doors will not be locked from the inside even at night, according to the madam's previous description of the "Zhier" girl, it is reasonable that this house will be locked.
"Ha..." Hong Wei smiled when he saw this, because the door bolted from the inside made the story of the madam more real.
So, he became more and more anxious and immediately used his internal force to suck the door latch through the door panel, and moved the latch away.
In order to avoid misunderstandings, we have to say something off topic: Actually, this door doesn’t have to be opened like this. This is the most difficult way to open it.
Generally speaking, a simple design like this is a simpler one. Use a small wooden wedge to bolt the door from the inside, take a thinner weapon that can get into the cracks of the door, and with a little patience, anyone can get it open, but that will take more time.
Hong Wei no longer has the patience, so he used a more difficult but time-saving method.
However... we mentioned earlier that it is easy to release internal forces, but it is difficult to use internal forces to absorb external objects to move; therefore, don't you see that he just moved a small piece of wood through a layer of not-so-thick door panel, just a few seconds of application made him very tired.
Of course, Hong Wei is now a sperm and can no longer control those things. After successfully opening the door and entering the house, he closed the door again, and then walked into the house with the faint moonlight sprinkled into the house from the window paper.
Soon, he bypassed a screen and saw the bed.
It was also at this moment that he realized that the smell of the room was actually a strange fragrance, and the more he walked in, the more obvious the fragrance was.
He looked closely and found that there was an incense burner about three steps away from the girl's bed, and white smoke was rising from the stove.
Over the past six months, Hong Wei has also smelled all kinds of good incense, and even the smell of ambergris, but compared with the fragrance in front of him, those in the past are much inferior.
When you smell this fragrance at first, it seems to be very strong, but it doesn’t feel pungent at all. The more you smell it, the more you feel it is, the more you feel it is long and long, which makes people feel unsatisfied.
"Hehe... Qixiang is with a beauty, wonderful, wonderful..." Hong Wei muttered this in his heart, and headed towards the bed with a lewd smile.
At this time, his expectation for this "branch" had been raised to an unprecedented height. Before he could see anyone, he just looked at the raised and slightly undulating quilt, and his mouth was dry and his face was red.
This feeling... He has been missing for a long time. When he first started as a flower picking thief, he pursued this excitement.
It was also in this state of extreme excitement that Hong Wei lifted the quilt, and then... he saw a mollusk that was wriggling in the quilt, to be precise - a bunch of flower branches.
From a certain perspective, this also explains the name "Zhier".
This scene made Hong Wei stunned on the spot. For a moment, he even suspected that he was dreaming.
What's even more strange is... Logically speaking, these seaweeds are piled here, even if they are covered with quilts, they should be smelling fishy when they are lifted. However, at this moment, Hong Wei's nose was still only that strange fragrance, and he didn't smell the fishy smell at all.
"Oops!"
Finally, after being stunned for about thirty seconds, Hong Wei reacted. In his exclamation, he quickly covered his mouth and nose, then took a few steps forward, kicked the incense burner, and stomped on the incense scattered on the ground, stomped the sparks inside.
Unfortunately, his response was slow after all. When he was a child, he began to feel weak and dizzy.
"Where is the little girl? I dare to plot against me!" Hong Wei, who realized that he had been trapped, immediately opened his throat and shouted.
Before he could finish his roar, a unique laugh came from outside the house: "Hahahaha! Hahahahaha..."
After laughing these few times, Sun Yixie's tone changed suddenly and cursed: "You are a big thief, a flower-picking thief, something worse than a pig or a dog... I am also embarrassed to call someone a slut? Today, I, Sun Yixie, will do my best for heaven!"
"Hmph! Just you?" Hong Wei snorted, then drew out his sword, urged his internal strength, and rushed towards the door.
Unexpectedly, before he could walk out from behind the screen, dozens of crossbow arrows were covered like rain.
"Tsk!" Hong Wei's reaction was timely. He just heard the sound of the wind through the screen and saw the shadow of arrows. He immediately stopped and rolled over, kicked over a table in the house and blocked him.
Twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist
After a breath, the crossbow arrow pierced through the screen and inserted it on the floor, on the wall, and on the undulating table in front of Hong Wei.
"It's definitely not possible with me." The next second, Sun Yixie's mocking words came with the arrow, "But with the officers, soldiers and constables in Hangzhou Prefecture, I think it's more than enough."
"You fart!" Hong Wei also cursed, "If I hadn't been careless and you had been plotting against poisonous smoke, even if you blocked a hundred people at the door today, I could still kill you all!"
"Ha!" Sun Yixie sneered when she heard this, "What is a plot? Who plotted against you?" He said, gradually raising his tone, "I tell you~ This Yan is the unique secret recipe of Yuqilou, which is the thing you mentioned when you chat with the madam today... I am kind enough to use it to cheer you up."
What he said sounded like a sarcasm, but in fact he also revealed a message, that is, I know everything you said to the madam today.
Thinking deeper, it is not difficult to guess that Hong Wei's every move in the past few days is under Sun Yixie's control.
Previously, Sun Yixie did not set up an ambush for Hong Wei directly at the construction site of "Elegant Tower of West Lake". The biggest reason was that he lacked information at hand: at that time, except for the other party's high martial arts skills, Sun Yixie knew almost nothing about this "blacklist" and did not know whether the other party had any accomplices. In addition, the surrounding terrain of the construction site was wide and close to the lake, so it was too easy to escape, so Sun Yixie did not take action, but chose to use a slow-down strategy, first trying to lock in the other party's identity and then make a case.
This is called - before I have the ability to kill you, everything is a misunderstanding.
But now, Sun Yixie has checked Hong Wei clearly, and even knows his psychology, personality, and even many daily habits. If he can't even figure out that he can't figure out, then Brother Sun won't let it go.
"You sharp-tongued boy..." But Hong Wei was unlikely to reason about the above things at this moment. He was dizzy and angry. He was trapped in such a small space. The only door was blocked by the crossbowman. All he could think of was to escape first and say, "You won today, let's take a look in the future!"
After saying this harsh words, he flew up and raised his sword toward the window on one side of the room, preparing to jump out of the window and escape.
unexpectedly……
"Ah!" Hong Wei had only done halfway through this coherent movement, and was surprised to find that outside the split window... there was actually a net, and it was a wire net that was extremely tough and difficult for ordinary swords to cut off.
This net is undoubtedly customized for this room. The net pattern is almost the same as the pane shape of the room, so the moonlight will not be exposed when it comes in.
Shine-
The rest of the sword after Hong Wei broke the window was slashed on the net, and even a mesh was not broken. Just this... it made his arm numb.
"This net was driven by the best blacksmiths and weavers in the city, and mobilized dozens of fishing net-built experts under my command to drive it out overnight. Isn't it a little hard?" Sun Yixie saw the guy bounced back at the door, and immediately smiled, "As far as I know, your sword is not a treasure weapon, so you may not be able to break this window for a while."
Hong Weixin said: If I hadn't been hit by the poisonous smoke and I would have lost all my body, even if I didn't have a treasure weapon in my hand, I would still be able to tear a hole and run away.
He was very angry when he thought about it, but phosphonia was useless...
In the blink of an eye, accompanied by Sun Yixie's mockery, another rain of arrows came from the direction of the door.
This time, without the obstruction of the screen, the crossbowmen aimed more accurately.
Hong Wei had just bounced back from the window and his foothold was not stable. In addition, the poison on his body took effect after he exercised, making him more and more powerless... Under many unfavorable factors, he rushed to block the sword, but only protected the vital points of his body. He was hit by an arrow on his left calf and left shoulder.
"Um--"A few seconds after being shot, Hong Wei knew that the arrow was also poisoned, because the pain from his two wounds was almost immediately replaced by a gradually spreading numbness.
At this moment, Hong Wei really began to panic.
Originally, he thought that even if he could not kill all the people who ambushed him, it would be safe to just escape, but now the situation is quite unoptimistic.
But he was still not desperate because he knew there was still a way...
Palalala...
Obviously, in this era when houses were mainly brick and wood structures, most warriors knew the routine of "leaving or entering a room by destroying the floor or ceiling"; unlike walls filled with bricks, the upper and lower sides of the house were more likely to be destroyed.
Hong Wei did successfully lift the floor with his sword, but what was waiting for him below was...
when--
After the sound of the wooden board breaking, the sound of the sword hitting the iron board was heard.
Obviously, Sun Yixie must have thought of everything that Hong Wei could think of at this moment. If it weren't for the complete preparation, Sun Yixie wouldn't have let the madam make a trap for Hong Wei.
Today, the west wing room on the second floor is a "killing cage" specially created for Hong Wei. As long as he goes in, it is poisonous smoke, iron nets, iron plates, crossbow arrows, spiritual attacks... one by one, one by one, and one by one, and you are determined to be unintentional. No matter how strong your martial arts are, you will still be sure to die.
"Ah? This..." Seeing that he couldn't get out of the floor, Hong Wei finally showed an expression that he hadn't shown for a long time.
Fear, this emotion that he hadn't experienced for a long time, visited him again.
This is the first time he has felt that his life has been under a major threat since he quickly became a top expert due to his adventure.
It was not until then that he realized that he was not that powerful - it was not that as long as he did not meet the top experts in the world, he could face any situation without fear.
It turns out that as long as you prepare well enough, even a group of people close to ordinary people can kill a martial arts master without any damage.
"Wait... wait!" When the third round of arrow rain came, Hong Wei staggered back to the back of the table, "Young Master Sun! We have something to say!"
"I have nothing to say to you." Sun Yixie replied coldly without thinking.
"Young Master Sun, I can pay back your money as much as possible... No! I pay back twice as much!" Hong Wei said, "I have a few hundred taels in my bag now. Please allow me some time..."
Twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist
Before he could finish his words, another round of crossbow arrows came in volleys.
Since this round of concentrated shooting, the table board in front of Hong Wei was immediately shot with holes, and several arrows had even poked out half of the table through the table. The table board was about to break.
"Are you money?" At this time, Sun Yixie said again, "In order to catch you, I have spent more money than I give you. Will I care about the little you have in your hands?" He paused and said again, "Today, I want you and everyone in the world to know... What will happen if you dare to go to my Sun Yixie's land!"
After saying this, the next volley was released.
The table in front of Hong Wei could not hold it back after all, and several arrows briskly pierced the table with holes and stuck on Hong Wei's torso and limbs.
"Ah! Ah——" Hong Wei began to scream, "No... don't kill me... I'll surrender! Young Master Sun! Grandpa Sun! Please spare me! Please spare me!"
At this moment, he seemed to have become the self before he was twenty-five years old, and the timid, ordinary civilian.
He regretted it.
A thought flashed through his mind: if he had not fallen due to desire, but adhered to the moral bottom line and continued to be a good person, perhaps he would not have ended up like this.
But it was too late. He had committed too much blood debt.
A thief like Hong Wei and a thief who collects flowers have always been "every life or death" when he is offered a reward, because the government also knows that such people are difficult to catch. If the government asks to catch live, or raises the bounty of captured alive, it will increase his chance of escaping.
Therefore, the orders received by the officers and soldiers who came here today were "to die and be down-to-earth". They just need to bring the bodies back. It doesn't matter if the bodies are not all, just take them back.
Let’s take a step back, even if Hong Wei is broken into pieces... Anyway, Sun Yixie has confirmed his identity before, and the government is fully confident.
So...
Amid Hong Wei's pleading, the officers and soldiers holding crossbows at the door slowly gave up some gaps, allowing the team behind them who had been on standby in the corridor for a long time, who had been holding spears to enter the room...
After entering the house, these soldiers with long weapons set up a formation, maintained a distance, surrounded Hong Wei, and approached him step by step.
At this moment, Hong Wei was injured in many parts of his body, and was infected with at least two poisons, and had long lost the strength to resist. He looked at the spearheads around him that were getting closer and closer to him, and his face was pale and wailed in despair.
Chapter completed!
