Chapter 63: The Head-Snatch
After subduing Chen You, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai planned to transport him to a safe place to hide.
They have at least two reasons to leave Chen Youran's life: First, after planning the conspiracy between Chen Gu and others for so many years, there must be many secrets that have not been revealed yet to be discovered, so they have the value of interrogation; second, how to deal with him is best to openly discuss and decide by various martial arts people who were secretly injured by him today, rather than dealing with it privately by Sun and Huang. Although even if they really kill Chen Youran, no one will say a little more, but people's hearts are unpredictable. You cannot guarantee that everyone is a gentleman. If someone suspects that they asked Chen Youran what valuable information they asked Chen Youran for silence, then there will be more troubles.
The way to transport Chen Youran was already prepared. A small cart used to deliver rice and flour was enough. They moved Chen Youran, who had been poisoned and paralyzed, and set off.
That "safe place" is not too far from here, it is an ordinary house one kilometer away; the residents in the house have been sent away at this time, and now there are three people in the house: one is Bai Ruhong, who has no ability to move, and the other two are Chunkong and Liu Yikong, who are responsible for taking care of and protecting him.
Both Mr. Liu and Master Chunkong do not like fighting and killing people. In fact, they have not yet started killing, so they did not follow the team of two hundred people to encircle the Tianqi Gang, but chose to stay in this house to protect Master Bai.
In the early morning, except for the fire, the streets in other places in the city were basically empty; let alone pushing carts or racing.
Therefore, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai trotted all the way, and it took only six or seven minutes to push Chen Youran, Chunkong and the others to meet.
Although he also guessed that Sun and Huang could not use any conventional means to subdue Chen Youran, when Young Master Liu and Chunkong saw Chen Youran's tragic appearance of lime powder sank on the cart, they couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him.
After sending the person to the house, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were about to leave immediately, and the place they were going to was naturally the Buguilou.
There was nothing else, Sun and Huang planned to secretly embezzle some of the useful things in the Sicilien Curie; and the remaining ones that were particularly vicious and harming, or that could not be taken away for a while, would burn him a fire to avoid being misled by others in the future.
This matter cannot be delayed, and it is best to do it while the martial arts people are entangled with Gu Qiying.
Previously, Huang Donglai only told those people that he had found out the solution to the Pure Land Gu, but he did not tell them that the "Lord" was the boss of Buguilou, nor did he say where he found this method specifically.
The reason he didn't say was also very simple: if he had told all this information, it was very likely that someone would start to think badly on the spot, such as... taking advantage of the large army's detours to the north and south, they sneaked into the Buguilou, and stole some things similar to the Jile Gu from Siyu Curie, and use them to harm others in the future.
How could Sun and Huang and the other two not have imagined such a possibility?
The fundamental reason for determining everyone's ambition with a villain is to judge everyone's ambition; so basically, as long as they apply all the wrong ideas that can arise in their hearts after encountering something, they can prevent most of the slutty operations.
However, they still have something they can't calculate...
Just as they were about to leave the house and return to the building, a masked man suddenly appeared in front of them.
This man is of medium figure, wearing a black night clothes, covered his head with a black cloth, and his eyes are only left. He doesn't hold weapons in his hands, but he has a bag on his back. The bag is a little larger than a basketball, and it doesn't affect his movements even if it is tied to his body. Looking at the outline, it seems that there is a box inside the bag.
He came silently, like a ghost suddenly appeared, and when you turned around, he was already standing there.
"Who is here?" Huang Donglai immediately shouted this sentence when he saw him; in fact, Brother Huang was not mainly trying to get an answer, but wanted to remind Chunkong and Liu Yikong in the room that something happened outside.
"Ha..." The masked man didn't mean to answer their intentions. He just chuckled, then raised his palms and pushed them out.
The next second, Sun and Huang were both pushed up by their palms, and their feet were off the ground and hit the wall.
In fact, Shen Youran can also do a long-range attack like this with internal power and external power, but with Shen Youran's internal power, whether it is the longest range, expansion range, or strength when it is internal power and external power, it is far from comparable to the cultivation level of the masked man in front of him.
Fortunately, the masked man didn't take Sun Huang seriously at all. He just took action at will with a mentality similar to driving away flies, so they were just temporarily beaten to the ground and left no internal injuries.
When he heard the sound, Chunkong and Liu Yikong who came out of the house were treated similarly...
But seeing that Liu Yikong rushed forward, about to use a knife to defeat the enemy, but unexpectedly, the scimitar on his waist was pulled out of the sheath, and the masked man rushed to the side of Liu Yikong, gently pressed his hand, and pressed his knife back.
"Boy, the light skills are pretty good." The masked man's voice was very ordinary, and his tone was also very relaxed when he said this, "It's just that his sword skills are a little worse..."
call--
Before he finished speaking, Chunkong's Prajna palm had already broken through the wind from another direction.
"My little master... your palm is a bit too 'compassionate'." The masked man was calm and laughing. While he was chatting and laughing, he pushed Liu Yikong away with his left palm, and at the same time he used his right palm to pair Chunkong's palm power.
So Chunkong flew out too...
In a blink of an eye, these four "young heroes" were beaten to the point of being tilted by this masked man, and their chests were stirred by the vigorous internal force, making their qi and blood stagnant, and they couldn't stand up for a moment.
"I'm in a good mood today and don't kill people." The masked man glanced at them and said, "Don't worry, I'll take what I want and leave immediately."
After saying that, he entered the house.
Before the four people outside the house could get up from the ground, he had already come out.
After achieving his goal, the masked man did not stay for a long time, nor did he talk too much. He didn't even look at the young men, and then he got a little under his feet and fled into the night sky.
That is indeed, when you come, you will be silent and without a trace, the true style of a master.
After a while, Huang Donglai and the others finally got up and quickly went into the house to check; with just a glance, they knew what the man had taken - the quiet head.
At this time, blood flowed all over the floor around the body of Chen Youran, but the masked man left just now, there was no blood on his body, and I don’t know how he did it.
Then I will recall the outline of the masked man's bag. I guess it should be a box specially used to hold a human head, which can prevent blood from oozing out through the cloth.
The blessing in disgrace is that Bai Ruhong, who lives in the same room with Chen Youran, is fine. It seems that the masked man came here just to kill Chen Youran, and he is not interested in other people. His behavior of taking away the head is undoubtedly to serve someone or an organization.
After all... in that era of information blockage, nothing can prove that someone is dead more effectively than his own head.
"Mom, where did this demon come out? Fortunately, this guy didn't plan to kill us, otherwise we'll explain it here." About five minutes later, Sun Yixie thought about this matter again before he became a little scared.
The world is dangerous after all. Even if a master-level expert like Chen Youran stepped into an ambush without preparation in desperation, he might be taken away by a wave, let alone those of them, who are just young and have little martial arts skills?
If the masked man just now really wanted to kill them, it would be just a matter of moving his fingers in one thought.
Even if you do everything and make plans consciously, it is difficult to guarantee that you will encounter such emergencies without intelligence. At this time... you have to rely on your hard power.
"Forget it, let's not worry about this." Huang Donglai was much calmer than Sun Yixie. The Huangmen was also a martial arts family. Even though Huang Donglai had never been through the world, he had seen many martial arts anecdotes since he was a child. People who have been influenced by more than ten years naturally know how many dishes they were in the world were better than Sun Yixie. "We should go to the 'where' according to the original plan and see what's going on there."
After saying this to Sun Yixie, he turned to the other two young heroes and said, "Mr. Chunkong, Young Master Liu, it seems that this place will not be left. You can take Master Bai and change the place..."
So the four of them decided to set a new location and then parted again.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai rushed to Buguilou again, but when they arrived there, they were stunned again...
This restaurant has been ordered.
"Oh Brother Huang, what's going on?" Sun Yixie looked at the blazing fire and asked immediately.
"How do I know? It's not the fire I set." Huang Dong said the truth. He had just flipped through Gu Qiying's notes in Siyuju, and took away the notes, without taking anything else, let alone lighting them.
"Did you not pay attention and triggered some self-destruct device before leaving?" Sun Yixie said.
"Damn it, do you think you're playing CSS? How did I leave after I buried my thunder bag?" Huang Donglai complained.
After saying this, Huang Donglai sorted out his thoughts a little and said, "I think... we should just think things are simple. There may be other forces secretly involved in this game tonight, and gave us a mantis stalking the cicada oriole behind us... After we finished plotting against Chen Youran and Gu Qiying, we got things done almost, and they came out to 'rob the head' and plunder the fruit of victory."
"Well..." Sun Yixie felt it was reasonable when she heard it, and pondered, "Well... she can tolerate being robbed of the head, as long as she didn't kill us by the way, it would be a good thing."
At this moment, although neither of them spoke more, the same idea had actually arisen in their minds - to gain a foothold in this world, we still have to have organization and power. It is too easy to capsize in this undercurrent ocean with personal power alone. Bai Ruhong is a bloody negative example.
…………
Later that day, somewhere outside the city.
The fire illuminated a man's face.
He is about fifty years old and has a medium figure. His face looks like a pumpkin, a bit flat and fat. This face also causes his eyebrows, eyes to be very flat and long, and his nose is wide and his mouth is big.
He was wearing a night-riding suit, but the black cloth covered on his face had been taken off at this time.
There was still a bag at his feet.
He seemed to be waiting for someone.
The person he was waiting for did not let him wait too long.
He was a tall man with a tiger back and a bear waist, with a bright gaze, and a single sword on his waist. Many people in Luoyang City knew this man, who was the coachman of the leader of the Justice Sect.
But in fact, his surname is not Wu, it was just the surname he changed when he joined the Zhengyi Sect more than ten years ago.
His real name, Mu, was Mu Liyan. Before he came to the Sect of Justice, his identity was a detailed work of the Five Spirit Sect.
Now he is...
"Muliyan, I have met the banner owner!"Muliyan came to the man in black, knelt on one knee, and bowed to him.
The man in black, the masked man who had taken Chen Youran's head under Huang Donglai and his wife's nose, was undoubtedly a master of the Five Spirit Sect.
Its name is Tang Fu, and it is one of the "five banner leaders" of the Five Spirit Sect. It is the second only to the deputy leader in the sect.
It should be understood by everyone after hearing his position. Tang Fu is best at the "White Tiger Palm" among the five great magical skills of the sect. In terms of fist and palm skills alone, he can be said to be a top figure today.
"No need to be polite." Tang Fu waved his hand casually, signaling Muli to extend it, and asked directly, "How are you doing?"
Mu Liyan stood up and bowed his hand with his fists: "Reported to the banner master, when his subordinates led his people to sneak into Siwei's residence, there was no guard there, and You Jing had been dead for a long time; then we searched every corner there, uh... During this period, two brothers were unfortunately poisoned and died... But we did not find anything that recorded Gu Qiying's witchcraft. I think... either he didn't keep a paper record at all, or..."
"Or it's just that it's taken away by someone else?" Tang Fu took the other party's unfinished words, and his tone was a little unhappy.
"I'll go check it now!" Mu Riyan immediately said consciously how to solve this problem.
"Forget it, it's too late." Tang Fu said, "and I guess who might have taken it... you don't have to worry about it."
Tang Fu, really regretful.
Because of Mu Liyan, the undercover agent, the Five Spirit Sect actually knew very early that Chen Gu and his two were preparing to implement their "major plan" at the Young Heroes Conference. Therefore, Tang Fu was sent to Luoyang half a month ago to be responsible for commanding the Five Spirit Sect's men lurking in Luoyang during this period, mainly... to deal with some sudden situations.
Originally, in addition to surveillance, the people from the Five Spirit Sect did not intend to get involved in this matter. Whether the righteous martial arts in the martial arts world were threatened by the Tianqi Gang or killed... it was also a good thing for them.
However, "emergency" comes at once.
The disturbance between Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai made Tang Fu smell the possible collapse of Gu Qiying and Shen Youran's plan. So, just as the arrow through the clouds took off, Tang Fu hurriedly thought about it and decided... let Mu Liyan take people to Buguilou to search for Gu Qiying's research results, and take away whatever he could, while he himself chased the arrow through the clouds.
At that time, he didn't know that Huang Donglai had taken Gu Qiying's Gu Refining Notes.
Later, he saw Chen Youran being defeated and subdued in the dark. After following Sun and Huang and the others to the house, what he thought about was the order given by his current leader before leaving - "If my brother can really succeed, it would be fine, but if he can't accomplish anything, or even be captured alive and fell into the hands of those righteous people, then I hope Master Tang takes action, don't let him continue to lose my Yi family's face outside... Oh, by the way, if I really have to go that step, remember to bring his head back. After all, it's the blood of my father. No matter how unpromising he is, he still has to leave a place in the ancestral hall."
Thinking of this, Tang Fu took action.
If Tang Fu had a more meticulous mind, no matter how much he thought about it, it would not have been impossible to guess that Huang Donglai might have taken Gu Qiying's notes. Unfortunately... the smart people in this world are only a few, and Tang Fu was obviously not, so he didn't think of this until now when he listened to Mu Liyan's report on the situation.
Now, as Tang Fu said, "It's too late"; his move to take the head was already a warning to the other party, letting the other party know that there was also their third party (he didn't know that there was a fourth party of the Jinyiwei) in the city. Are you still expecting others to give you another arrow?
Let’s take a step back... I’m really coming, do you dare to go?
The man surnamed Tang saw with his own eyes how Chen Youran was "drawn". Although he was confident, with his internal strength that was much higher than Chen Youran, lime powder and other things could be solved by internal force and external release, if there were other more detrimental moves, he would not dare to say that he could escape unscathed.
"The subordinates are incompetent." After a breath, although the boss had said "forget it", Muriyan still knelt down again and clasped his fists and said, "Please give the banner master a crime..."
"Okay..." Tang Fu couldn't say that he was a good person, but he was not a bad person. At least he was not the kind of person who would throw all his emotions or omissions to his subordinates. "It's not your fault for this matter. The main responsibility lies with me. I'm not considerate enough." He paused, "You have worked hard all these years, and from today, you won't have to act as a coachman anymore. You can take this bag back to the main hall, report to the leader, and receive the reward... There will be brothers to pick you up along the way."
"Thank you, the flag master!" Mu Riyan seemed a little excited.
Only those who have been undercover for many years and finally recovered can experience this excitement.
So at this moment, Mu Liyan not only did not stand up, but also turned from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees, and kowtowed three times to Tang Fu.
When he raised his head, two lines of tears had already flowed down the face of the big and thick man.
Tang Fu did not go to see him, but got up and walked away.
There is nothing good about this, and Tang Fu doesn't think a man crying wants to be stared at by others.
Chapter completed!
