Shen Rui suddenly said: "Something's wrong, there seems to be a lot of people here."
He listened carefully and said, "There are people on the roof too. It seems Hongdou is in danger."
Tang Bing was shocked and said: "Someone wants to kill her, we have to help her."
Shen Rui suddenly shushed and said softly: "Stop talking, someone is coming towards us."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Shen Rui waited for the knock on the door several times before pretending to be awakened and said: "Who is it? It's three times in the middle of the night."
The candles outside were lit, and the shopkeeper's trembling voice sounded: "It's...it's me."
"What's the matter?" Shen Rui asked.
"I've got a midnight snack for you," the shopkeeper said.
Shen Rui asked Tang Bing to lie down on the bed. He made the sound of getting up from the bed, walked to the door, opened the door, and said in a daze: "I didn't order a midnight snack, what kind of midnight snack did you give me?"
Two gleaming knives suddenly stretched out and placed them on Shen Rui's neck. "Don't move, if you move I will kill you." Under the light, two men in black were seen, their whole bodies wrapped, with only two eyes exposed. , Shen Rui pretended to be scared and said: "What are you doing? Put down the knife quickly. I still have several thousand gold coins in the house. Take them all, but don't kill me."
A man in black said: "We don't want your money, we want to borrow your house."
Shen Rui said awkwardly: "This... this is not good. We only have one bed inside."
Another man in black said: "Stop talking nonsense and get in quickly, or I will kill you immediately."
He turned back to the shopkeeper and said, "Go back to your counter. If you reveal any flaws, I will kill your whole family and burn down your entire shop."
The shopkeeper turned pale with fright, kept saying he didn't dare, and hurried downstairs.
Shen Rui had no choice but to tremble and lead two men in black into the house. One of the men in black lit the fire folding box and closed the door with his backhand. Seeing that there was another person on the bed, he said to Shen Rui: "You also hide in the bed. , don’t make any movement, otherwise we don’t care about killing two more people.”
Shen Rui nodded repeatedly and touched the bed. He accidentally touched Tang Bing's hand and rubbed it gently a few times. Seeing that Tang Bing was taking the opportunity to eat his own tofu, Tang Bing did not dare to speak, so he squeezed his hand hard. Shen Rui It was so painful that I almost screamed.
When the two men in black saw the two lying down, they put out the fire. The two clung to Hongdou's room next door, motionless. On the bed, Tang Bing wanted to take out the ice sword, but Shen Rui grabbed her hand and signaled her Don't move. He had already noticed that there were killers lurking around him. If Tang Bing acted rashly, he would be alerted.
After a while, the sound of going upstairs came from the stairs, which was particularly awakening in the quiet night. The sound came over and opened the door next door, and only heard an oops, it was Hongdou's voice. She was obviously suffering. Hurt. The lights in her room suddenly turned on, and a strange laugh sounded: "Miss Hongdou, I have long admired your name. It's just that we brothers are entrusted by others and are loyal to others. Someone paid money to kill you, so I have to apologize."
Hongdou said: "Who are you? And who sent you here?"
The person who just made a strange laugh said: "Don't ask who we are, and don't ask who sent us here. In short, you have to know that you are dead today."
Hongdou said: "Is it that bitch Chun Yufeng?"
The killer smiled and said: "As long as you know, do it!"
I heard the sound of ping-pong coming one after another in Hongdou's room. It seemed that there was a fight. The passengers around were awakened one after another. There were panic sounds throughout the entire building. Some people ran downstairs. They only heard a few screams coming from downstairs. The others who did not go downstairs were so frightened that they returned to their rooms and huddled in the room, not daring to make a sound, let alone come out.
Seeing the fierce beating next door, Shen Rui activated his mental power. With a few hisses, two daggers shot at the two men in black in his room. He only heard two muffled grunts as the daggers penetrated their bodies. Throat. Shen Rui got up from the bed and said softly to Tang Bing: "Put on their clothes."
At this time, Hongdou was fighting against several people in black in the next room. She was talented in practicing medicine, but her strength was only a junior martial arts king. The first killer was obviously an intermediate martial arts king. She was dripping with sweat after a while and faced the wall. After she retreated, the leader of the men in black smiled ferociously and led a few others towards her.
Bang bang, two figures broke through the wall and walked into the house, blocking Hongdou's retreat. The leading killer was overjoyed and said: "Quick, come together, kill her as soon as possible to avoid a long night of nightmares."
The two men in black nodded, and suddenly one of them slashed at the men in black on both sides with a knife. A golden light and a white light flashed, and immediately four or five black-clothed corpses lay on the ground.
The leader in black clothes said in surprise: "You are not the fifth or sixth child, who are you?"
The two men in black did not say anything and continued to launch rapid attacks on them.
The leading man in black became more and more surprised as he watched. One of the opponents was actually a high-ranking Martial King. He knew that there was no hope for what happened today, so he whistled to everyone and said, "Let's go quickly."
When the men in black heard this, they quickly shot out the window. After a while, all the killers ran away.
Shen Rui was about to chase after him, but Hongdou said, "Stop chasing. I already know who did it."
She stared at the two people in front of her and said, "Who are you two? Can you meet me?"
Shen Rui and Tang Bing smiled and took off their black scarves. Hongdou saw that these two people were actually the two teenagers who wanted to snatch things from her during the day. She was shocked. She didn't expect that these two people were actually hiding dragons and crouching tigers, and their strength was as strong as that of King Wu. superior.
"It turns out it's you." Hongdou was shocked. She always thought that Shen Rui and Tang Bing were ordinary people, but she didn't expect that they were both masters with strength above King Wu.
"Who are you and why do you want to save me?" Hongdou suddenly became alert.
"Shen Rui, this is my friend Tang Bing. Miss Hongdou, don't be nervous. We don't have any ill intentions. It's just that we drew our swords to help each other when the road was rough." Shen Rui said.
Hong Dou thought about it. If these two people had any ill intentions towards her, they would not come to save her. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said to them, "Thank you."
Shen Rui and Tang Bing said at the same time: "You're welcome."
"By the way, Miss Hongdou, why do these people want to kill you?" Shen Rui asked pretending to be confused.
Hongdou said: "It's a long story. Chun Yufeng of the Chunyu family is competing with me for the fifth elder vacancy at the Alchemist Headquarters of Dongxin Kingdom at this alchemist conference. She is ruthless and ruthless. In order to eliminate my competitor, she sent someone It's normal for you to come and kill me."
"So what if I get the position of the fifth elder of the Alchemist Headquarters? I have to fight back and forth?" Tang Bing looked curious.
"You don't know this. After becoming an elder, you will have many privileges and benefits that you will never be able to enjoy in your lifetime. You can give priority to many resources at the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild, which will make it easier to improve your strength and level of alchemy," Hong Dou said. .
Only then did Shen and Rui understand the cause of the matter. Seeing Hongdou's dejected look, Shen Rui knew that she had borrowed money overnight and had not gained much.
