Hua Bushi gasped for breath, and it took him a while to regain his composure, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not a killer of 'Tianchu', so I'm naturally afraid of death. This little brother's heroic spirit can't compare to my sister's.
Half a point.”
Yang Jiangyi said: "You don't have to be modest. I am alive thanks to your young master's plan. What should I do now? I'm still following your orders!"
Hua Bushi's eyes flashed and he looked forward and said: "Of course we should go forward and get out of Jinshui Street as soon as possible to meet Qianli and the others."
Twelve killers have appeared on this street. If the rumors about "Tenchu" are correct, there is only one last killer left hidden on the street ahead.
The last killer is needed to kill, which means that all the previous ones have failed. The target of the assassination must be difficult to deal with, and more powerful means must be used to kill it. Therefore, the person in charge of "Tenchu"
, the most powerful killer will definitely be placed at the end.
"Tenchu" has a thousand ways to kill people, which one will the last killer use?
The previous killers failed to succeed only because "Tianchu" misjudged the strength of Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi. They did not expect that Hua Bushi was good at observation and good at making changes, so the disguised killer would be seen through.
The failure of the black and white pair was due to "Tian Zhu"'s misjudgment of Yang Jiangyi's martial arts.
Not many people in the world can resist the power of Lingnan's "zombie boxing" combined attack. A few months ago, Yang Jiangyi would have been unable to defeat this pair of impermanent killers. "Tianchu" didn't know Yang Jiangyi's strength.
Their martial arts progressed so quickly that they were sent to assassinate him.
Since "Tenchu" made a mistake, there will definitely be a chance to defeat it!
Although he almost lost his life just now, Hua Bushi's self-confidence is now stronger than before.
All the pedestrians on the road had fled, all the shops on both sides of the road were closed, and the 100-foot-long street was deserted.
The sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds. Walking on this most prosperous street in Changsha City, Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi felt a sense of desolation and loneliness in their hearts.
In the past, this place was a bustling business place, but today it has become a place of murder!
We are almost at the end of the street, and in front of us is a hundred-foot-square bluestone square. This place was originally a place where vendors set up stalls to do business. It was a hypermarket where many merchants gathered, but now it is empty, except for some garbage scattered on the ground.
Debris, there is nothing on the square.
Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi walked side by side to the edge of Qingshi Square.
The sun, which was obscured by the dark clouds in the sky, just emerged from the clouds at this time. Under the sunlight, the entire square was suddenly dyed with a layer of golden color, making it look both illusory and real, mysterious and far away.
Opposite the square, there seemed to be a bright light on the top of a building, which flashed away.
Hua Bushi suddenly stopped under the eaves of a shop and asked, "Sister, what do you think is the best way to kill people here?"
Yang Jiangyi said: "I don't know. If it were me, I would just use a sword. It's the same everywhere."
Hua Bushi said: "Sister is proficient in swordsmanship, so naturally he would think of using a sword, but if it were me, in this kind of terrain, I would first think of using a long-range concealed weapon to kill people."
Yang Jiangyi thought for a while and said: "This square is very empty. It is really difficult to find a place to take cover when being attacked by a hidden weapon."
Hua Bushi said: "There are a large number of archers ambushed in the surrounding buildings, and arrows are fired at random. Anyone who walks into the square will definitely die. But if the opponent only has one killer, how can he kill someone?"
He seemed to be asking Yang Jiangyi, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
Yang Jiangyi said: "If only one person shoots an arrow, we can still dodge even if we don't have cover, right?"
Hua Bushi said: "That's right, so the opponent will definitely not use bows and arrows, but a hidden weapon that cannot be avoided."
Yang Jiangyi said: "What kind of hidden weapon could it be, a crossbow?"
Hua Bushi said: "Although the crossbow is faster than the bow and arrow, it is not impossible to dodge. If my guess is correct, he should be using a fire blunderbuss."
"Firegun? How could he use such a useless thing?" Yang Jiangyi was a little surprised.
In the army of the Ming Dynasty, the use of firearms has been quite common, but their power is very ordinary. Ordinary earth guns and bird guns are not only very troublesome to ignite and launch, but the accuracy of the iron sand shot is extremely poor, and it cannot reach the target.
Far from being as practical as the old long bow and hard crossbow, it is not an exaggeration for Yang Jiangyi to call it a useless thing.
Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "The fire cannons used by the other party are naturally not the kind of waste products distributed by the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers. I have heard that the most advanced fire cannons produced in Western countries fired
The lead bullets can reach dozens of feet away, are so powerful that even steel armor cannot stop them, and they are also extremely fast, making it absolutely difficult to dodge with ordinary Qinggong movements."
Yang Jiangyi was even more surprised and said: "I have never heard of such a powerful hidden weapon in the world. But even if there is, how could the other party's killer get it?"
Hua Bushi said: "The leader of the legendary 'Tianchu' is from the Western countries. It is not surprising that they have such fire blunderbuss."
Yang Jiangyi said: "According to what you said, wouldn't we become his targets as soon as we walk into this square?"
Hua Bushi said: "That's exactly it."
He paused and then said: "However, although the fire gun is powerful, it is not omnipotent. Its range is only a few dozen feet at most, and the farther the distance, the harder it is to hit, so the killer must be ambushing on the edge of the square."
On top of a certain roof, we will not shoot until we get closer."
He suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Just now I saw a bright light flashing behind the small red pointed building opposite the square. It must have been caused by the reflection of sunlight from the metal object. I think he was hiding there. My sister is very good at Qinggong.
, all you need to do is jump up to the roof and sneak around quietly to get rid of the killer."
Yang Jiangyi hesitated and said: "If I go and leave you alone here, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"
Hua Bushi said: "There is no need to worry. The opponent only has this last killer left. As long as he is removed, you will be safe. But my sister must be more careful and try to find cover. When she gets close, she changes her posture and curves.
Okay, let’s make it difficult for the gunman to aim and shoot.”
Yang Jiangyi nodded and said, "Okay."
She jumped up to the roof next to her with a giant sword in hand, and used Qinggong to rush away. She had escaped several assassination attempts by "Tianchu" before, all because of Hua Bushi's resourcefulness, so she firmly believed in the eldest young master's intelligence.
The judgment is definitely not wrong.
However, watching Yang Jiangyi leave, Hua Bushi felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
He didn't know where this uneasiness came from, but it suddenly made him alert!
Back in Wuyang City, before the Hua Family Mansion was attacked, Hua Bushi had a similar feeling. That time it was precisely because he did not expect the betrayal of the "Sky Eagle Society" that Wuyang City's defense line was unexpectedly broken through by the enemy.
"The Dog Gate" lost most of its disciples overnight and was almost crippled by Zhu Zhenyan's underworld forces.
Could it be that this time, he made another mistake unknowingly?
The open space in the square in front of us is indeed an area that is conducive to long-range concealed weapons attacks. It is indeed a clever method to ambush a gunman with a gun on the rooftop opposite. Just now, the sun suddenly shines down from between the clouds.
The other party accidentally let the weapon reflect sunlight, and it was reasonable for Hua Bushi to notice it.
All judgments seem reasonable and error-free.
However, since the opponent is the thirteenth assassin arranged by "Tenchu", he must be the most powerful one. How could such a master of assassination make the stupid mistake of accidentally exposing Xingzang?
Could it be that this was actually done intentionally by the other party!
If it was done intentionally, what was the other party’s purpose?
Hua Bushi's expression changed, and he suddenly ran out from under the eaves, rushed into the square, spread his legs, and ran straight towards the other side of the square. He seemed to have forgotten that the "Tianchu" was lurking on the roof of the building opposite.
"The musket gunner ran forward regardless of everything, completely exposing himself to the opponent's gunner's field of vision!
A streak of black smoke rose from the roof of the opposite building, and a bloodstain suddenly appeared on Hua Bushi's left shoulder. He could clearly hear the whistling sound of lead bullets coming towards him!
It was the gunman who was shooting at him! Fortunately, because the distance was too far and he was running at full speed, the shot missed his vital point and just missed his shoulder! At this time, Yang Jiangyi had just
Not long after he left, he didn't have time to sneak up to the rooftop opposite and kill the gunman.
Fireguns, like crossbows, take a lot of time to reload once fired. Hua Bushi escaped, but did not dare to stop and ran forward. He only hoped that the firegunner would reload the ammunition and fire a second shot.
Previously, Yang Jiangyi was able to arrive in time to kill the opponent.
Hua Bushi's earlier judgment was that the gunman on the roof of the building opposite was the last killer of "Tianchu", and he could be safe by getting rid of that gunman. Therefore, as long as he hid under the eaves and was out of the opponent's shooting range,
It would be very safe. But just now, he suddenly realized that this was a trap. The gunman deliberately exposed Xingzang just to lure Yang Jiangyi away and create an opportunity for another accomplice!
As Hua Bushi ran, he looked back and saw that the door of the shop behind him had indeed been knocked down, and a man in black with a black face and a long beard, holding a long knife, suddenly appeared under the eaves!
He is the fourteenth killer! He is the last killer of "Tenchu"!
"Tenchu" only sends out thirteen killers in each operation. This is just a rumor in the world. Who said that "Tenchu" can't send out more killers at one time? And that rumor in the world is probably the same as "Tenchu".
One of thousands of ways to kill!
This method is precisely designed to deal with people like Hua Bushi who are shrewd and good at calculation. The better a person is at calculation, the more he will rely on his own calculation results. It is inevitable that he will be too conceited and think that everything is in order.
He is under control and planning, but once unexpected changes occur, he will be unable to respond and make fatal mistakes.
That is, this method of killing can kill Hua Bushi!
