Seeing the lights in his bedroom disappear suddenly, Li Xin'an stood on the tree opposite, like an owl.
Murong Bai raised his head and asked, "Brother Li, why do you want to climb a tree?"
"If the murderer wants to kill Gao Zhengming, he must first enter this yard. This tree, whether it is his whereabouts or whether we are waiting for the rabbit, is a good choice."
"There is a small wood room behind Gao Zhengming's bedroom, white wood. You can go there to guard it. If the killer wants to come in, we are the only way to go."
"Do you have to wait here all night?"
"There is nothing to do, I can only do this." Li Xin'an sighed, "When Yuan Sheng and his friends found the next Tusheng Building stronghold, they could only look at Gao Zhengming day and night."
"But if you don't sleep, how can you hold your body?" Murong Bai frowned, "The most energy-consuming warriors are. If you don't sleep like you, you will collapse in less than three days."
"Don't Gao Zhengming go to the Ministry of Revenue?" Li Xin'an said, "This is the case tonight. When he goes to the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow, you should work hard first. Watch him during the day, and I'll sleep. Then change me tonight."
"I wouldn't dare to kill someone from the Ministry of Revenue, so it's enough for us to rotate together, and we don't need to stare all day long."
"Okay." Murong Bai had no choice but to accept it, he nodded and said:
"You should be safe."
After saying that, he rose up from the ground, like a nightingale flying into the night and disappearing.
Li Xin'an leaned on the thick trunk. There were not many leaves left in the big tree in late autumn, which made him have to use the relatively wide trunk to cover his body.
He quietly used the "hidden killing Wuji" and in the dark, his figure became illusory and it was even harder to find his traces.
Li Xin closed her eyes and rested, waiting for the night to pass safely.
...
On the wide street, a carriage was driving rapidly, as if there was something urgent to do.
The groom waved the whip anxiously and kept shouting "Driving" in his mouth, as if he wished the horse could fly.
A group of soldiers patrolling the streets turned around at the corner of the street, holding bright torches.
As soon as he saw someone breaking the curfew, the captain immediately shouted: "Stop! Dismount!"
The groom pulled the reins suddenly, and the horse neighed in pain, and two deep blood marks appeared on his face.
Although the groom's movements were a little rough, the carriage slowly slowed down and stopped steadily in front of the soldiers patrolling the streets.
"Who?" the captain asked, looking up and down the carriage and groom.
He is not a fool either. He knows that ordinary people dare not and will not violate the curfew. Those who dare to drive a carriage on the street at this time must have some background.
What's more, this carriage looks like it's quite valuable.
The groom was sweating profusely and said hurriedly: "This military master, my master is Xue Yu, the chief officer of the governor of the Anton Protectorate, who was bitten by a poisonous snake in the forest and sent back to Chang'an for treatment. He was poisonous and he was too late to reach Chang'an. We have the letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and ordered us to leave the city overnight and go to see our master for the last time."
"There are our wife and young master in the car. If you want to read the note, I will ask the wife to give it to you. Please let Jun Ye let it go quickly, we can't drag it down."
After the groom said that, he knocked on the carriage and whispered: "Madam, His Highness's note."
There was a rustling sound in the carriage, accompanied by a low sob, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted up, and a woman in her forties showed her face.
She wiped her swollen eyes, took a note out of her arms, and handed it over.
The captain immediately smiled and said, "Madam, it's important to visit Lord Xue. I'll send someone to go with you to save time along the way and the city gate."
The woman nodded, and tears couldn't stop flowing out. She covered her mouth and then got into the carriage.
The captain sighed, waved his hand to signal the team to follow and run towards the city gate with the carriage.
Watching the carriage gradually fade away, a soldier approached the captain's ear and asked in confusion:
"Captain, don't we need to verify our identity? If we let it go without reading the note, if they are fake, wouldn't something big happen?"
The captain patted his head and cursed: "I don't know yet? But where can anyone dare to fake the letter from His Highness the Crown Prince? It must be true!"
"Besides, the Anton Protectorate, Xue Yan, whose surname is Xue, can he be from which family? Xue Rengui! Xue Ne! Can you afford to provoke? I have been wasted time, and my ten lives are not enough for others to kill!"
The captain patted his chest in fear, glad that he was doing things well and sent someone to go with him. Maybe he would be happy and could promote himself to an official position...
The carriage did not go to the city gate, but turned into a market.
The groom slowly stopped driving the carriage
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, finally stopped in a secluded corner.
The carriage door opened and four soldiers rolled to the ground.
Xue Yan's wife lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage. She gently raised a piece of skin on her face with her hands, and then slowly teared off her face.
Under the face of the forty-year-old woman, there is a beautiful face of seventeen or eighteen years old.
The groom wiped his face with his hand, and the dry and withered old face disappeared, and replaced by a pale cheek.
Where is Xue Yan, where is the prince’s note? Some are just two killers in Tu Shenglou!
"Gao Zhengming's home is in a remote place in Pingkangfang. The soldiers will patrol the streets until the ugly time." The man said, "Junior sister, let's go."
"Um."
The woman nodded slowly, stepped over the fainted soldier and walked towards Gao Zhengming's home.
...
Li Xin'an was a little bored, holding a dead branch in his mouth, watching the servants of Gao Mansion coming and going down the tree.
He originally issued an order that no one would be allowed to come in tonight. But Mrs. Gao loved her husband so much that she ordered her servant to pack up a lot of things to let her husband take them away.
Compared to the outsider Li Xin'an, the servants of Gao's mansion listened to the mistress more.
So, Li Xin'an had no choice but to watch the group of people go back and forth in and out of the yard, moving clothes and utensils back and forth.
It was half past midnight and it was dawn.
In fact, there is no need to be wary of it. This is the busiest time for servants.
The chef is going to start preparing the master's wife's breakfast, the maids are going to start boiling water, and the young ladies are going to wash, the groom is going to feed the horses early, and the servant is going to clean the courtyard.
Their rest time is only a few hours, and during the day, take a secret nap.
Therefore, killers generally do not choose to act after midnight, but when the person just fell asleep.
At that time, both servants and maids and guards were the most relaxed opportunity for them.
Li Xin'an rubbed his eyebrows, and it was already past.
I stayed here for two hours, and I guess the killer would not come.
Maybe kill someone else?
Li Chu also had people in the mansions of several other people who had harmed Miss Naning, including Xieliya, Zhou Ling and several other chief and deputy commanders of the "Eight Heavenly Dragons".
The net of heaven and earth is hard to escape.
Li Xinan relaxed, and he sat on the branch and yawned a big yawn.
Sleepy...
The servants below were basically done with Mrs. Gao’s work, clapped their hands, and prepared to close the yard door and leave.
At this moment, two people suddenly came over outside the yard, one man and one woman, carrying a large cabinet.
"What is this?" Gao Lang, the butler who had been watching the supervision, frowned and asked.
The servant replied, "It was the lady who asked us to build a yellow rosewood cabinet, saying that it would be placed in the master's house."
Gao Lang looked at the man suspiciously. This was an old man who had been with him for more than ten years and could trust what he said.
But he always felt something was wrong.
"Okay, go in." Gao Lang let go and said, "Don't make the master quarrel."
The two of them walked towards Gao Zhengming's house with cabinets, and Gao Lang suddenly shouted: "Wang Liu!"
The two of them were unmoved and continued to walk down.
Gao Lang smiled and said, feeling that he had not slept for half a night and was a little crazy.
He gently closed the gate of the yard and retreated with the servants of the Gao Mansion.
The moment the yard gate was closed, the steps of a man and a woman holding the cabinet suddenly stopped.
They gently placed the cabinet on the ground without making any sound.
The man and the woman looked at each other and slowly walked towards Gao Zhengming's closed door.
The sword light suddenly arrived!
A figure floated out from somewhere and landed in front of Gao Zhengming's door. He stabbed the sword down and slashed the entire stairs in half while pulling the sword upwards.
The sword aura carried gravel, like a sharp arrow, shot at the two servants of the man and a woman.
The two of them were shocked and quickly retreated. Seeing that they could not avoid it, they suddenly paired up their palms and the power of countershock retreated the two of them, avoiding Li Xin'an's gravel.
Seeing the two of them caught off guard and looked embarrassed, Li Xin'an couldn't help but laugh and said, "The killer of Tu Shenglou is just worth the weight?"
"What did you say, I can't understand it."
The man stabilized his body, took a breath, smiled with difficulty, lowered his eyebrows and said.
The woman glared hatefully
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He held Li Xin'an without saying a word.
"Stop pretending, there are only three of us here, and there are no outsiders, so what are you pretending?"
Li Xin'an smiled and said, "It's not difficult to see from your palm that there must be a third-level cultivation level, but just this is not enough to assassinate a minister. Where are the accomplices hiding?"
"We really don't understand what you are saying. If you insist on stopping me, the younger one will take his leave first."
After the man said that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"You are servants of the Gao Mansion, aren't you?" Li Xin'an said loudly.
"Yes." The man bowed slightly.
"Do you know who I am?"
"This..." The man looked at each other with a woman, a trace of cruel murderous intent flashed through his eyes, and he shook his head slightly.
"Two servants from Gao Mansion saw a strange man appearing in front of your master's room with a sword. He was trying to silence you, but you didn't shout for help, and even spoke to me with a happy look. You... are you serving your master?"
Li Xin'an mocked, "Do you know how you showed off?"
Now that things have come to this point, the identity has been revealed. The other party has been prepared for it, and it will be boring to hide it anymore, but it has been at a disadvantage.
The man said in a deep voice: "What?"
"This cabinet is not a huanghuali at all!"
"Mrs. Gao is a good person. She doesn't use all the expensive wood at home, but it's also worth a lot of money. She can't tell that this is a good imitation yellow flower."
"Do you Tusheng Building have no money? You actually came out with such a thing."
"So that's it." The man nodded and sneered: "Huanghuali is too heavy, we are too lazy to move."
"The night is dark and the sky is high. You can actually recognize the variety of this thing at a glance. I guess it is quite a bit of a small background. How dare you ask about your name?"
"Blood Clothes Hall, Li Xin'an."
The three words "Blood Clothes Hall" came out, and the man and the woman stood there as if struck by lightning.
These three simple words, combined together, mean that they can crush people to death.
As a killer giant who came to the world twenty years ago, Bloody Clothes Hall was the object of the killer organizations looking up to later.
Including Tusheng Building.
"So it's a master in the Blood Clothes Hall."
The man sneered: "I heard the name of the Blood Clothes Hall for a long time, but the Blood Clothes Hall has now declined. Why are there any disciples coming out to walk around the world!"
"That's just you who are watching the sky in a well." Li Xin'an said lightly, "How can someone like you know about the Blood Clothes Hall? Tang Qinghuai is almost the same."
Hearing the young man calling the title master the name, the man's face changed and he was about to attack immediately. But the woman beside him was already angry and scolded:
"What are you? You dare to call me the name of my master! Shameless and incompetent people, report your name, I never kill the nameless people under my sword!"
Is she Tang Qinghuai’s apprentice?
Li Xinan looked at the woman in surprise, looking at her slowly angry eyes.
He had never seen such beautiful eyes rippling like water.
Looking at the young man staring at him in a daze, a hint of shame and anger flashed across the woman's face, and her silver teeth clenched:
"You disciple, come to your life!"
The woman pulled out a long sword from the cabinet and stabbed it.
The man couldn't stop him, and sighed, and had to pull out his ice blade, hold a hook, follow the woman closely, and attack Li Xin'an.
Li Xin'an used his sword to block it. What surprised him was that the man's cultivation was mediocre and his moves were mediocre, so he did not pose any threat to him. On the contrary, although the woman was a little slow in making moves, her sword moves were fierce and fierce, and her sword force was majestic. What she lacked was only enough internal strength.
"I am worthy of being the apprentice of the owner of Tusheng Building..." Li Xin'an exclaimed in his heart, ignored the man, and focused all his thoughts on the woman.
In an instant, the two had been fighting for dozens of times.
Two long swords were flying in less than one meter of space. Under the sword light, the woman was forced to retreat repeatedly by Li Xin'an.
The tip of the "Baihong" slapped the tiger's mouth where the woman was holding the sword one after another. In the soreness, the woman let go of the hand holding the sword.
"It's done!" A smug smile appeared on the corner of Li Xin'an's mouth.
However, the woman also curled the corners of her mouth. When her matching sword fell to her lower abdomen, she suddenly lifted her knees and pressed them against the hilt of the sword.
The long sword rushed straight to Li Xin'an's chest. The smile he had just raised instantly frozen and he hurriedly turned to the side.
The long sword drew a blood mark under his ribs, and the woman held the hilt again and crossed it to Li Xin'an's shoulder.
