At night, the clouds were clear and the wind was gentle, and a bright crescent moon hung in the sky.
It was very quiet in Yanshui City, and there was no light. It seemed to be integrated with the night. The soldiers patrolling the streets were wandering listlessly. A dozing soldier was shaking his head up and down, and suddenly he saw someone on the side.
Several black shadows flashed across the alley, and he was instantly frightened to the point of losing sleep.
"ah!"
Hearing his call, all the patrolling soldiers became energetic. The leader of the team almost fell to the ground, and then angrily shouted: "You've hit a ghost? Do you want to scare people to death in the middle of the night?"
The soldier's legs were a little weak, and he raised his hand and pointed to the alleyway: "Captain Zhu is...inside..."
Hearing this, Captain Zhu also became vigilant and ordered two men behind him who were holding torches to investigate.
Although the two men were afraid, they did not dare to disobey the order and slowly approached. However, when the torch illuminated the alley, they found that there was nothing else inside except some abandoned furniture.
Upon seeing this, Captain Zhu was relieved and slapped the soldier who caused panic on the head: "Next time you scream, I will cut off your tongue. Let's go!"
After hearing his instructions, the whole team started marching again.
The soldier touched his head in pain, turned his head to look at the dark alley again, and suddenly found a pair of eyes staring at him. He was about to scream, but suddenly thought of Zhu Duizheng's words, and quickly covered his mouth, his body trembling.
Follow the team.
After the patrol was far away, Tang Ji, who was hiding behind the corner, said, "Mr. Sun, stop playing!"
Hearing this, the grimacing Sun Yufu returned to normal and moved to his side unhurriedly: "You three brats didn't even bring back breakfast or lunch. You almost starved to death. After you came back, you didn't say anything.
After packing your luggage and not sleeping all day and night, do you want to die from exhaustion?"
Tang Ji glanced at him angrily: "So this is your excuse for eating five taels of silver for breakfast and ten taels of silver for lunch?"
But having said that, after they sent the woman who was seeking death to the hospital, the doctor had already rescued her. Unexpectedly, she was still mentally unstable after waking up, and finally committed suicide in the hospital. Thinking of this, he
The anger in his heart rekindled and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go and meet Hua Yuan'er."
Immediately, a few people continued on their way under the moonlight.
Finally, not long after, Tang Ji and the others met Hua Yuan'er, who had been waiting for a long time, in the streets of Beicheng.
The latter glanced at them a few times, his eyes stayed on Sun Yufu for a few seconds, and asked Tang Ji: "Brother Tang, where is Brother Su?"
"He wants to send our horses and luggage out of the city in advance. This is Mr. Sun." Tang Ji simply answered, lowered his eyebrows, noticed the five or six wooden barrels stored at his feet, and sniffed with his nose: "
Is this kerosene?"
Hua Yuan'er nodded: "Since you want to do it, then do it with a big ticket. I got it with great difficulty. You are responsible for pouring oil on the fire. I will go and kill that beast. When I come out, I will burn Ma's house on fire."
Got it!"
Tang Ji rubbed his nose. What this guy did... is worthy of being a bandit. But during this day, he also heard a lot about what the Yanshui County Magistrate and the Ma family did.
To describe such a cancer, everyone can kill it, even if it is set on fire, he raised his eyes and replied: "Can you go in alone?"
Although the second-rate peak person is also very strong, if he is discovered, it may not be easy to escape.
Hua Yuan'er grinned: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion."
After saying that, he took out a piece of black cloth, wrapped it around his face, put on a night suit, and soon disappeared into the night.
Tang Ji also had no ink marks, so he walked forward out of the street, hiding in the dark and observing the mansion in front of him. Although it was not as good as the big mansion in Kyoto, it was still very luxurious, and it was built with the blood and sweat of many people.
Seeing two guards standing outside the door, Cheng Tie winked.
Soon, Cheng Tie quietly approached and knocked the two guards unconscious.
Just like that, the two of them carefully moved the kerosene over.
As for Sun Yufu, he didn't bother to do such a thing. He leaned against the wall and observed the surrounding situation.
The Ma family is relatively large in general, but Hua Yuan'er seems to often do such sneaky things. He easily sneaks into the inner courtyard, lies on a roof, and observes the situation in the inner courtyard. He sees things everywhere
The guards holding weapons and patrolling guards every once in a while sneered: "With so many people, you have done a lot of harm to your heart!"
He had already sneaked in to observe before dark, so he already knew the location of Ma Chun'an's room, but he still lay down on the roof for a while to buy time for Tang Ji and the others.
Finally, after waiting for a while, he seized the opportunity for the patrol guards to leave, took out a palm-sized stone from his sleeve, and slammed it against the far wall.
Hearing the noise, the guards in the courtyard immediately became vigilant. The four guards guarding the corridor looked at each other and finally decided to let two of them go to check. However, as soon as the two left, the remaining two were arrested.
The person wiped his neck from behind.
Hua Yuan'er quietly placed the two bodies on the ground, then quietly opened the door and sneaked into the house.
He didn't care so much, walked straight to the bed and gently patted the other party's shoulder.
"Who is it? Don't touch this young master!"
Ma Chun'an reached out and pushed his hand away, pursed his lips, turned over and continued to sleep.
"It seems that my memory is pretty good, but doesn't this kid have a fourth wife? How can he sleep alone?" Hua Yuan'er sneered, pulled out the dagger from his waist, knelt down on the bed, and covered it with his hands.
The opponent's head, and then stabbed the dagger into the opponent's heart. The process was smooth and smooth, without any delay.
"Uh uh uh..." Ma Chun'an felt severe pain, but he couldn't move at all. His difficulty in breathing made it difficult for him to scream, and within a short while there was no movement.
Hua Yuan'er withdrew the dagger, wiped the blood on the quilt, and didn't bother to care whether the other party was dead or not. He took out a fire stick, lit it, threw it on the quilt, and walked towards the door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the room, he met the two guards who went to check and came back. They were both stunned when they looked at each other.
"His grandpa, so fast?" Hua Yuan'er complained in a controlled voice.
The two guards also reacted, and one of them immediately shouted: "There is..."
But before he could finish his words, Hua Yuan'er's throat was pierced by the dagger that came out of his hand.
The other person had just come to his senses, but his neck was broken by Hua Yuan'er.
Just when the latter breathed a sigh of relief, he was discovered by the guards patrolling in the distance.
"There's an assassin!"
Hearing this voice, the guards in the inner courtyard reacted quickly.
Hua Yuan'er didn't stop any longer, withdrew the dagger, jumped up and planned to leave.
But the next second, countless arrows flew over from the other side, directly blocking his way to leave. In desperation, he had to fall into the yard temporarily, but as soon as he landed, there were dozens of people with weapons in their hands.
The guards surrounded him, and the archers from behind also took aim. The guards behind him also held torches in their hands, and the whole courtyard was suddenly as bright as day.
"So exaggerated? How afraid of death are these Ma family members!" Hua Yuan'er was a little unbelievable and exclaimed, but then realized that she was trapped and showed a look of helplessness: "It seems that it will be a little difficult to leave today. If I had known it earlier,
Stop pretending, it would be great to have Brother Tang and the others to help."
Soon, the head of the Ma family, the magistrate of Yanshui County, Ma Yaosheng, rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the room. When he saw a masked assassin surrounded, he narrowed his eyes and ordered: "Capture him alive, I will
The officer wants to see who is not afraid of death and dares to sneak into my Ma's house in the middle of the night to assassinate me!"
Hearing this, the guards quickly moved into action and swarmed towards Hua Yuan'er.
Hua Yuan'er fought off three people in a row, but there was a slight surprise in his eyes. These people were actually good at martial arts. Although his strength was only around the early stage of the third-rate, so many people could still kill him. He immediately frowned and concentrated on dealing with it.
.
After such a chaotic fight, Hua Yuan'er defeated more than a dozen people in a row, but he was also a little tired. He seized the opportunity again and wanted to jump on the roof to leave, but he was still restrained by the arrows shot by the archers.
Hua Yuan'er fell back to the ground again, and just took a breath, but found that the guards who had been surrounding him had retreated, and the archers once again drew their bows to aim at themselves.
"call out!"
As a sound of piercing the air came out, dozens of arrows were fired at once, and the location of the attack was extremely tricky.
Hua Yuan'er dodged several flying arrows, but his rhythm was interrupted by an arrow hitting his head, followed by more than a dozen arrows aimed at his vitals.
"It's over!" He exclaimed inwardly.
At this critical moment, a figure who was standing on the roof watching a small show quickly rushed out and intercepted all the arrows with a single wave.
