In another secluded house in Yanbei City, dozens of dead soldiers and assassins with indifferent expressions stood in the courtyard, making this house, which was originally spacious enough for ordinary people to live, even more crowded.
The dead warriors may have just arrived, or they may have lingering fears about the young master abandoning Tonggu Xuan and the shopkeeper without hesitation. The slightly bullied chests and flickering eyes all reveal the state of mind of the dead warriors.
The shopkeeper has led this group of dead men in Yanbei City for many years. They are not just humans, but animals, and they also have some feelings. Today, the young master and the elders will treat the shopkeeper like this. Will this love fall on him in the future... Death
The soldiers each had their own thoughts and stood there, thinking in their hearts.
"Ahem!"
A slight cough interrupted the thoughts of everyone present. They gathered their thoughts for a moment and looked up at the person who spoke.
"I know what you are thinking. Shopkeeper Liu San has worked hard for the Golden Knife Sect for many years. Today, the young master and I left him without any hesitation. What you are thinking is that one day, you will also end up like this.
." Elder Xu gently twirled his beard and spoke softly to the dead soldiers in the house without haste or delay.
Hearing Xu Mo's words, the dead soldiers all raised their heads and looked at the elder of the sect. They knew that his martial arts level was extremely high. They only glanced at their faces and did not dare to look at each other. They could only lower their heads to avoid it.
open.
The worry and anger in the general's eyes were caught in his eyes. Xu Mo straightened his face and softened his tone: "The shopkeeper's life is not that I don't want to save it, but that I can't save it. Think about it, everyone, what happened just now will definitely lead to...
Yanbei officers and soldiers, everything in Tongguxuan will be exposed by then."
As he said this, Elder Xu had already walked to the side of these dead soldiers.
A person passing by raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and continued: "You have earned a lot of money in a bitter cold place like Yanbei for many years, and I, the Golden Blade Sect, have never treated you badly, but compared to earning money with your life,
It’s more important to have life to spend it, right?”
As soon as these words came out, all the dead soldiers looked worried and their anger subsided. Xu Mo's words were right to the point of human nature. He observed that the dead soldiers seemed to have been convinced by him. Xu Mo, who was walking to the end of the team, had a sneer on his lips. It was a young man's plan.
, Lu Can’s method really worked.
At the same time, he was also secretly glad that the young master followed the Jin envoy's decision and planned to ambush the young man in Tongguxuan, but his plan was disrupted by the vision in the Buguang Ancient Sword.
Fortunately, the Jin envoy stopped the young master and himself who were about to lift the curtain and said bluntly that the matter could not be done anymore, and it was necessary to break it off. The Jindao disciple and the shopkeeper who pretended to be the young master were dead. In this case, it was better to retreat quickly to prevent the geese from coming.
The Beiguan army noticed something unusual in Tongguxuan and ruined their plan.
Hearing the young master's voice in the main room, Xu Mo turned around and bowed to salute. Seeing this, the dead soldiers also followed the elders and saluted the young master who opened the door.
"What Elder Xu said is true. Even though Shopkeeper Liu San has been with me, Golden Knife Sect, for many years, I don't want to leave him behind, but I don't want everyone to sacrifice their lives in vain for one person... The property in Tonggu Xuan, the elder and I
When I left, I took most of the money with me, as well as the evidence that everyone had been pretending to be bandits in Yanbei over the years, and kept it with me. You just need to feel at ease and act for the Golden Knife Sect."
Wang Heng spoke very calmly, but the meaning of his words was clearly understood by everyone. The evidence of the roster means everyone's lives, and is firmly held in the hands of the young master. If there is any dissent,
, it is self-evident what the fate will be. After hearing this, all the dead soldiers raised their heads and looked at each other.
They saw panic in their eyes and knew that there was no way out, so they clasped their fists and spoke.
"I'm willing to be a young master, and I'm willing to wipe out the gangsters and brains in my family!"
After grasping these dead soldiers, Wang Heng calmed down a little. Although he looked relaxed, the hatred in his heart was already unbearable. He originally set up a situation of certain death, but he didn't expect to be thrown into the dark pavilion for many years by an ancient sword.
The plan was disrupted. Not only did the young man fail to be captured, but the many years of hard work in Yanbei were also ruined. How could one not hate the young man with itching teeth.
"You are really lucky. Bu Guang has not made any movement in Tongguxuan's secret cell for many years. Let's see if you are so lucky next time."
After calming people's hearts, Wang Heng whispered bitterly, gathered his thoughts, and then turned his eyes to Elder Xu, who was standing respectfully aside. Just as he met Xu Mo's gaze, Wang Heng gave a slight signal, and then stopped caring about these dead soldiers and went straight.
Walk into the main house.
Wang Heng said nothing, but Xu Mo knew his master's thoughts and immediately spoke to the dead men: "The plan remains unchanged. We will disperse and wait for the master's order."
After receiving Xu Mo's order, the dead soldiers said nothing, clasped their fists in a salute, and then turned into afterimages in the dark night and dispersed in all directions.
Seeing this, Xu Mo felt relieved and followed Wang Heng's steps into the main room. Seeing the silent back of the young master, he thought for a moment and spoke softly.
"Young master, are you still worried about Tonggu Xuan?"
Wang Heng didn't speak, he just looked at the night and sighed: "I'm worried about the shopkeeper."
Xu Mo followed Wang Heng's words and said flatteringly: "It's a pity for the shopkeeper. He has been trained in the family for many years to get this person. You don't have to worry about it. If..."
May
Before Mo finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Heng: "Do you think I am worried about the death of the shopkeeper?"
Xu Mo was stunned by the young master's words. After thinking for a moment, he immediately understood Wang Heng's thoughts. He suddenly broke out in cold sweat and looked at the young man's back with shock.
"When we left, we only saw him lying on the ground. We are not sure that he is dead. If anyone is alive and falls into the hands of that young man..." The young master raised his head and looked at the stars in the night sky, his eyes filled with laughter.
The murderous intention gradually arises.
Xu Mo was horrified that this young master of his had not suffered a defeat in the Gaodeng garrison half a month ago and was born out of his own recklessness. In just a short period of time, he had grown into a man as thoughtful as the sect master.
I wonder if his little thoughts that day were also noticed by him.
After reading this, cold sweat appeared on my face. I didn't dare to be negligent anymore and hurriedly bowed and said: "I know what to do."
"Elder Xu's merits are a great contribution to our Golden Knife Sect. One day after I return to the sect, I will personally ask my father for the merits of the elder." Wang Heng's eyes moved slightly, turned to Xu Mo behind him, and ordered softly.
.
If there were some private messages before, trying to take advantage of Wang Heng, who was new to the world, now he was no longer slacking off. The elder of the Golden Blade Sect respectfully responded: "Xu Mo thanked you, Master!"
Withdrawing his gaze, Wang Heng turned to the window and continued: "I still need to trouble Elder Xu to go to Tongguxuan to investigate."
His heart trembled, and he immediately understood the implication of the young master's words. Xu Mo took over the words: "Young Master wants me to find out whether the shopkeeper is dead or alive."
"That's right, just die. If you still have one breath... do you know what to do?"
Wang Heng's tone was indifferent, and when he spoke, he was filled with murderous intent.
"Don't worry, young master, I won't leave any life for that kid if I take action." Xu Mo said solemnly.
"Go!"
Xu Mo was ordered not to wait any longer. He flashed slightly and disappeared into the room in an instant...
After Xu Mo left, in the corner of the room where there was no moonlight, a man slowly walked out, caressed his palm and said, "Young Master has become more and more calm, and he has more and more of the spirit of Wang Yan back then."
"Your Majesty, you are still in the mood to joke. We have lost Tongguxuan. Even though we have destroyed most of the documentary evidence, we left in such a hurry. If the Yanbei army searches carefully, they will still find clues. Sir
Are you not worried at all?" Wang Heng had no intention of joking and frowned impatiently to deal with the visitor.
Lu Can, the Jin envoy, did not show any signs of depression. In his eyes, the lives of Tonggu Xuan and these dead soldiers were nothing more than disposable chess pieces. As long as the Lord's orders were fulfilled, he would sacrifice his own life.
No more words.
Seeing Wang Heng's impatience, the Jin envoy chuckled and said, "Didn't Young Master ask Xu Mo to silence him? Today's events are all determined by fate. Young Master does not need to worry about it. What's more, Shan Bin has sealed Yanbei City.
Is he afraid that things will be exposed if he is here?"
"Whether he is a black man or a white man has not yet been determined. I would like to advise you, Sir, not to be clever but be fooled by your cleverness and shoot yourself in the foot." Wang Heng said disdainfully when the Jin envoy mentioned Shan Bin.
"Black and white, I don't care, you just need to act according to your plan."
After the Jin envoy finished speaking, he naturally saw Wang Heng's slightly disdainful expression under the moonlight. He didn't care and just turned around to proceed.
.
"Where is the envoy going?" The young master looked back and asked with some caution.
The Jin envoy followed the young master's figure, looked to the north in the distance, and said with a sneer: "Aren't you worried, young master? You can tell if you have a black man or a white man."
"Are you going to try Shan Bin?"
——
Tonight's Yanbei City is the busiest since the city was closed. The people were awakened early by the vision of heaven and earth, and they went out to investigate. Some wealthy businessmen had already begun to order their servants to pack up their belongings and prepare to escape at any time, but they
I forgot that Yanbei City has been closed for many days. Let alone escaping the city, even if there is a real earthquake, I am afraid that Yanbei City will be their burial place.
Although the people are in chaos, the soldiers in Yanbei City are not in chaos. Compared with this strange scene of heaven and earth, the fighting on the battlefield is more like hell on earth. The generals and commanders of each team command well and mobilize the soldiers under their command to guard the city gate.
On the streets, the generals had already dispatched several battalions of soldiers. During the inspection, they comforted the people and went home first. Don't panic. Although the scene was a little chaotic, it was still under control, which showed the strength of the Yanbei Army.
Military discipline is strict and training is thorough.
Perhaps the soldiers were busy appeasing the people, but they didn't notice a figure in a green shirt above a house under the cover of night, performing the Zuqing Kung Fu and leaping at full speed.
Feeling that the shopkeeper's aura in his arms was getting weaker and weaker, Gu Xiao felt extremely anxious. Before entering Tonggu Xuan, he had already been keenly aware of something unusual. The moment he entered Tonggu Xuan, he sensed the killing in the houses near Tonggu Xuan.
His thoughts surged, so he became more vigilant and realized the murderous trap set by the shopkeeper.
If you want to break through the secret of Tonggu Xuan, you can only place your hope on this shopkeeper. When he used Qing Kung Fu, the young man's eyes shone like stars and he kept scanning the street.
Go ahead and look for the pharmacy sign.
Finally, after finishing the cup of tea, his starry eyes lit up, as if he had found what he was thinking of.
There were not many pedestrians on the street as he passed by. The young man exhaled the turbid air in his chest, mobilized his inner strength, and jumped down from the house, falling into the courtyard of the medicine shop.
Before he could stand still, he heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed in the courtyard, accompanied by a low shout.
"Qiang - Qiang Qiang -"
"Who! Dare to break into the pharmacy!"
Gu Xiao did not expect that in the most ordinary medicine shop in the city, there would be someone ambushing him with weapons. Naturally, he thought of the weird Tonggu Xuan and thought to himself: "Could it be the accomplice of the killer who was ambushing outside Tonggu Xuan?"
?”
With doubts in his mind, Gu Xiao did not hesitate. Now was not the time to start a fight. The shopkeeper's life could not be delayed, so he immediately stood up from the ground, intending to jump on the roof to leave first, find another medicine shop, save people first, and then make a long-term plan.
Unexpectedly, just as he stood up, the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air, accompanied by the sound of bowstrings, immediately rang in his ears. Gu Xiao's eyes became more alert, as if he did not expect that these dead soldiers were actually carrying powerful crossbows.
It was too late, but then it was too late, and the arrows had arrived. There was no room for further thought. The young man stepped on each other to use his strength, and used Cloud Zong to reach a height of several feet, avoiding the attack of arrows and feathers. He looked into the medicine shop, looking for release.
The cold arrow man.
At first glance, I saw a familiar figure.
Looking at each other, the people in the medicine shop also saw the young man in the air.
They both spoke at the same time.
"It's you?"
The moment he said this, the people in the medicine shop hurriedly shouted to stop several people around him, stopping their bows and arrows.
Gu Xiao also restrained his Qinggong skills, landed gracefully, stood upright, met the eyes of the people in the medicine shop, and said with a smile: "General Gao, I haven't seen you for a day, why are you so haggard?"
