In this world, ordinary people need to save candles and lamp oil. With the hard work of the day and day, they won’t light up for a long time at night. If they have to get up in the middle of the night, they often go to the dark.

But in this house, the lanterns hanging under the eaves and the kerosene lamps lit inside and outside are illuminated like dusk.

Guan Luoyang had already walked around this courtyard, changed to eight different locations to observe, and had a clear idea of ​​the layout of the entire courtyard.

Of course, during this process, he also smelled some unusual smells.

"It's loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it looks lazy. In fact, it's all elite. Such people cannot be cultivated by ordinary local rich people, right?"

He killed the tobacco shops between the three cities and seven villages. The large purchasers were gone, and there were naturally a lot less opium that flowed here. Unfortunately, he only had one person. Some of them were not afraid of death and wanted to make some opium transactions in private, but he really couldn't control it.

After the group arrived in Diancheng yesterday, they went the other way, opening a tobacco shop and swaying around the market, as if afraid that he, a blue-faced ghost, would not hear the news.

"So it's just a special way to attract me to the bait...that means that the whole house is considered qualified to ambush me and is used to doing this..."

Guan Luoyang narrowed his eyes and thought about the steps to take action. His eyes stayed on the two people on duty in the corridor for a while.

Both of them had guns on their backs.

After coming to this world, it was not the first time Guan Luoyang saw guns. When he assassinated the Heyang County Magistrate, he was really frightened for a while when he encountered the attacks of those muskets.

After all, a person who grew up in the safest country of the 21st century had almost no direct contact with guns, but could always hear various descriptions of power, and could inevitably feel an indescribable awe.

So much so that Tian Gongyu felt that he was so overreacting that he could not understand, so he said this to him.

"Foreign guns are indeed very powerful, much more powerful than ordinary people's knife fists. It is better to say that since the early days when bird guns were used in the army, many people think that boxers should be eliminated.

But in fact, even today, if you should use a knife, it is the one who kills people. After all, you should not treat these foreign guns like monsters.

I asked on the battlefield that when foreigners fought, if they had bunkers between each other, hundreds of bullets might not kill a person. When the Boxers fought against the Eight-Nation Alliance, they did not rely on bunkers and charged directly. After a battle, the number of people killed and the amount of ammunition consumed was often more than one hundred.

Those guys who are known as the elite of the Eight Kingdoms may not be able to hit the rabbit with a gun. Do you think you have been practicing with me for several years and are worse than rabbits?”

With only these words, of course it is impossible to directly erase the fear in Guan Luoyang's heart.

But later, through many practices, he was able to treat these guns very calmly. The landlord and evil gentleman with the guns could not stop him from having a knife.

However, the guns on these people were very different from what he saw in assassination in recent years. Judging from the shape, it seemed a bit like the rifles from World War II that I watched in film and television dramas before.

We must pay more attention.

Well, this time I will not go straight to the Central Palace. I will first eliminate these gunmen who are threatening, and finally kill the leader.

call!!!

Guan Luoyang's knife was pinned on his belt, and his hands were placed on the top of the wall. His whole body had jumped over the height of the wall, and his legs kicked on the wall. He looked like a fast big cat, crossing five or six meters away, and rushed into the corridor.

The two Qing soldiers who were patrolling back and forth were both outfits of black jackets and tight trousers. At this time, they just passed by and took steps in different directions.

The Qing soldier on the left felt a flash of his eyes and suddenly a thump in his mind.

The sound of Guan Luoyang's footsteps falling to the ground and the sound of his fists hitting the temples in this person, sounding at the same time, becoming the last sound heard in the life of this Qing soldier.

The Qing soldier on the right heard a strange noise behind him and turned around to look. He saw that his companion's body was tilted and he was about to fall.

A shadow on the ground was already coming to him, and the blue mask suddenly magnified in his eyes and almost hit the bridge of his nose.

Ka!

Guan Luoyang broke the man's neck with a punch, allowing the two corpses to fall to the ground one after another.

The dull sound is about to attract other patrolers.

After traveling through the entire six years, Guan Luoyang has been confused and hesitant.

He used his experiences in the past three years to watch the people in the city and the countryside working hard and dying powerlessly. He saw those smokers who could not control themselves, destroyed their families and lost their wealth, and were as thin as shrunk skeletons lying under the wall, with no one on both sides of the road, and then he thought clearly what he wanted to do.

Those things that unscrupulously squeeze labor and tears, bully the weak women of the people, and trample on human lives, whether they are the leaders or accomplices, are all scum that should be shot ten times.

Therefore, just now, two more dead souls were added under his hands, and Guan Luoyang's eyes were calm. He exhaled a little turbid air from his mouth, took a deep breath, and walked quickly and moved slanted.

When he moved, he was almost as fast as a shadow that was constantly refracting between the nearby pillars. In a flash, he could rush from next to this pillar to the next pillar about three meters away.

Within a few seconds, he printed a palm on the left and right pillars supporting this corridor.

When rich families near Guangzhou build pavilions, corridors and other buildings, they often use cypress as pillars. This wood is not easy to deform, has good corrosion resistance and strong rigidity.

Each of the eight pillars in front of you is nearly twenty centimeters in diameter, and the axe will only leave a very shallow mark when chopped on it.

But after being hit by Guan Luoyang's palm, there were fine cracks that expanded in the shape of a spider web on the body of the column.

In this world in the late Qing Dynasty, although I had never seen any gods and ghosts, nor had I heard of the unique martial arts skills such as the three-foot air wall and the dragon-subduing palm.

However, the boxing and martial arts learned from Tian Gongyu by Guan Luoyang is far from comparable to the physical exercise and improving effect of physical fitness.

The force of about two thousand kilograms is contained but not exposed, and condenses between the square inch of the palm. Not to mention cracks that penetrate the column body like this, even if it is interrupted directly with one blow, it is not impossible.

After hitting the eight pillars, Guan Luoyang stretched his body, put his hands on the edge, turned to the top of the corridor, and lay down directly.

Tonight, the moon was covered with dark clouds and sparse stars. Guan Luoyang was covered in gray clothes, and after lying on the top of the corridor, it almost blended with the color of the tiles.

At this time, the patrolers nearby rushed over and found two bodies on the ground, and immediately blew a whistle to warn.

More than a dozen people rushed to the corridor one after another, patrolling everywhere, and being cautious.

The four people in the living room were immediately alarmed, and the patrol staff in several courtyards on the other side of the living room also started to move.

Guan Luoyang's body moved slightly, and one leg hung from the top of the corridor. He kicked a certain pillar that had cracked before he broke. Then he supported his hands on the top of the corridor and flew away.

Originally, all the eight pillars had penetrating cracks. Once this pillar was broken, the other pillars were dislocated and fell one after another.

The entire corridor collapsed, smoke and dust spread everywhere, and tiles splashed.

The people gathered near the corridor were killed, injured and wailed everywhere on the spot.

Several Qing soldiers who hid farther were also hit by the tiles thrown by Guan Luoyang before leaving, and died!

He climbed over the wall, his body rose and fell, and the layout of the house he had observed flowed in his heart. He deliberately walked around the courtyard where the living room was and broke into the courtyard on the other side.

Li Piaoling, Zhuang Chengxian and others arrived here one after another. The smoke and dust caused by the collapse of the corridor had not yet dissipated. The screams of the Qing soldiers were particularly harsh under the dark night.

Zhuang Chengxian opened his mouth wide, his voice broke sharply, and he shouted fiercely: "What's going on? What's going on?!!"

He saw no trace of the enemy at all, only seeing the thirty elite soldiers whom he relied on the most, only half of them were killed or injured here.

Could it be that this broken house has been disrepaired and this corridor collapsed here today?

No, these people could not gather here for no reason. There was a whistle warning before, and they were blue-faced ghosts! But... but...

Zhuang Chengxian's eyes trembled and a rapid sound of breath came out from his mouth.

They studied the files and claimed that they had a deep understanding of the green-faced ghost. Since this man assassinated the Heyang County Magistrate, he has become increasingly disregarded with muskets.

Even if he saw muskets here, he could not recognize how powerful these new guns were. How could he have deviated from the norm and chose to attack these gunmen first? And he really succeeded!

This layout tonight seemed to be snatching off the reins from Zhuang Chengxian's hand and running towards the unknown danger.

An ominous premonition surged in Zhuang Chengxian's heart: "No! Quick..."

Li Piaoling was the most alert. Before he could finish his words, he suddenly turned around and ran away.

Since this blue-faced ghost targeted the gunman first, in addition to the useless gunman who had already died and injured here, there was a group of them in the courtyards on the right side of the living room.

……………………

The courtyard on the right half of this house is used for family members to live in. There are no corridors, rockery, small bamboo forests and other landscapes, and only a few yards connected by round arches.

There is only one path to the living room and backyard.

The Qing soldiers patrolling in these yards first heard the whistle and then the loud noise of the corridor collapsed, and rushed to the road, preparing to pass through the living room and backyard to check the sound.

A shadow flew across the wall and fell directly into the crowd.

The Qing soldiers around him were frightened and they all looked.

The man wearing a blue mask, the moment he landed on the ground, held the scabbard on his waist with his left hand and pressed the hilt on his right hand.

In the Ming Dynasty's "Only Swords" mentioned: "If you hold a light knife and say something, you cannot make a law. If you don't make steel, you will be lucky. If you cut off a knife, the edge of the knife will be crooked, how can you kill someone?

If it is to be hard, the knife must be thick and thick. If it is not strong, it cannot be used.

Therefore, the method of making the knife is to be thicker, from the bottom to the point, gradually thinner, the ridge lines on both sides should be high, and the knife edge should be thin, which means that the lightness and heaviness should be appropriate."

The knife in Guan Luoyang's hand was tailored for him by Tian Gongyu. The handle of the knife is seven inches, with bamboo joint patterns, and the blade is two feet and seven inches. The center of gravity is appropriate and it is extremely convenient.

The moment he drew his sword, it was not like a person using a knife, but like a beast that had been collected for a long time, suddenly popping out.

The Qing soldiers almost saw the arm holding a knife in their eyes, like a peacock spreading its tail, spreading afterimages.

The human eyes have a visual retention effect. If the displacement of an object changes faster than zero point one second, then the images of the previous scene will form a afterimage before they can disappear in the human field of vision.

The afterimage left behind by Guan Luoyang during the swing of the knife was so complete because not only did his displacement time when the blade was swung, but it was much shorter than 0:1 second, but even his wrists, elbows, and even the big arms close to the shoulders had reached an extremely high speed.

The knife fell into the eyes of a person with a slightly less-visible vision, as if the moment he drew the knife, his arms and blade suddenly disappeared, leaving only a circle of arc light reflected by the light on the knife head.

laugh!!!

Just this circle of sword light cut off the bodies of the three people around.

When they lowered their heads, they realized that the body above their ribs began to separate from the body below them.

I don't know who screamed.

The splattered blood was splashed all over the ground and sprayed on the faces of the people on the outside.
Chapter completed!
