In Qiuci City, Anxi, at midnight, the sky is filled with stars, and a bright moon is in the sky. The weather in early autumn is still a bit hot and dry. The breeze blows through at night, bringing a bit of coolness. The streets that should be quiet are a bit unquiet at this time.
Several black shadows slowly walked along the street. When soldiers patrolling the street came, they disappeared into the shadows. After the patrol soldiers passed by, they appeared again. It can be seen that these black shadows are very skillful in concealing themselves. They were also very agile. Slowly, these black figures approached the Duhu Mansion in the center of Kucha City. These black figures seemed to be very familiar with the environment around the Duhu Mansion. Without any hesitation, they rushed straight into the Go to the wall in the southwest corner.
The defense around the Anxi Protectorate is very tight. The two thousand Li Zuoguo soldiers are the elite selected from the hundreds of thousands of Anxi regular soldiers. They are divided into three shifts to protect the Protectorate every day. Each shift has 500 people. Five hundred people were rotated, and those patrolling outside the Duhu Mansion were the top elites of Anxi. They were in groups of twenty, with almost no dead ends between them. The straight line distance of each wall was almost impossible for people to pass through.
The dozens of black shadows are now concentrated in a courtyard. Across the street is the southwest wall of the Duhu Mansion. This is a dead end alley. The stalls of the alley are cut off by a wall. The people living in this alley are The official residence of an official in Qiuci is also called Guanjia Lane in Qiuci.
However, this is also a blind spot for the soldiers patrolling and defending the Protectorate. After the soldiers who appear at the street entrance appear, it takes one hundred and twenty seconds to reach the bottom of the alley, which is almost two minutes. When they reach the bottom of the alley and turn around, another group of soldiers The patrol team will only appear, and the northwest corner of the Duhu Mansion is the largest garden in the mansion, so no one will be there at night.
Qin Yizhou knew this situation personally. His house was in this official alley, and the yard where a dozen black figures were staying at this time was Qin Yizhou's front yard. Qin Yizhou was also in the yard at this time, and a dozen people A strong man in black clothes was looking at Qin Yizhou. Behind Qin Yizhou, there were densely packed men in uniforms, filling a large courtyard.
Qin Yizhou wore a set of leather armor and hung a long sword on his waist. He didn't look like a civil servant at all. He looked good-looking. Looking at the dozen people who climbed over the wall in front of him, Qin Yizhou looked unhappy. .
"Master Treasurer, why are you bringing so many people with you? You don't believe our brothers, do you?" The man in black spoke, his voice was low and murderous, and the dozen or so men in black behind him all held hands on their waists. With their swords in hand, more than a dozen pairs of murderous eyes looked at Qin Yizhou. It seemed that they would draw their swords at any disagreement. They did not pay attention to the hundreds of men behind Qin Yizhou. These people were desperadoes.
Qin Yizhou frowned and said: "Deng Laoba, I have done such a big thing, but you have to come here by yourself from the outside. What if you are discovered? Isn't it true that all your previous efforts have been wasted? You took my money, and now you are all If you are a quarter of an hour late, if you delay things, you will die."
The leader of the men in black, Deng Laoba, raised his eyebrows, and a scar on his face seemed to come to life, looking very ferocious and terrifying. He sneered and said: "Secretary Qin, my brother is the one who licks blood from the knife edge. But you also know how to keep your word. Are you worried that we will be exposed? You are just worried that our brothers will swallow your 10,000 taels of deposit."
Qin Yizhou suddenly changed his color and said angrily: "You"
Deng Laoba waved his hand to stop Qin Yizhou's words and said: "Our brothers have a grudge against the Li family. Our grassland blast used to live well on the grassland, but Li Zuoguo sent Li Hu to take over our lair, and almost all the brothers died. , there are only a dozen of us brothers left, and you come to ask us to go to the Li family to kill people. This is what I have wanted to do for a long time, not to mention there are still 20,000 taels of silver to get, but our deal needs to be changed. Change, I'm not worried about getting the ten thousand taels of silver when the job is done. I need it now, take it out immediately, and then our brothers will go to work in the Li Mansion. If we can't get the money, our brothers can only stand by and watch. Anyway, Treasurer Qin, you are ready There are quite a few people there, so we can just attack Li Mansion directly."
Qin Yizhou was so angry that his chest felt tight. He pointed at Deng Laoba and said, "I promised to give you ten thousand taels after the good thing is done. Do you want to break your promise, Deng Laoba?"
Deng Laoba's eyes were gloomy and he said: "A dozen of us are raising more than 200 dependents left by our old brother. Do you think that going to Li Mansion to kill people will end well? You can't get out even if you kill people. They must die inside." Come on, why didn¡¯t our brothers go to Li¡¯s Mansion to kill people earlier? We were afraid that if we died, the orphans and widows would have no one to support them, so we won¡¯t go in without getting the money today.¡±
Qin Yizhou took two deep breaths and calmed down. With a wave of his hand, two strong servants carried a box to the front. When the box was opened, the silvery white silver reflected and shone under the moonlight. Deng Laoba's eyes lit up. , also waved his hand, and the two men behind him came forward to check the silver, then closed the box and nodded to Deng Laoba.
Deng Laoba is fullHe laughed heartily, and the deliberately suppressed laughter was like the sound of bubbles bursting in a stuffy jar, which made people feel unspeakably uncomfortable: "Very good, then our brothers will immediately enter the Li Mansion to kill people and set fire to them. I These two brothers will leave first with the money, please ask Treasurer Qin to open the back door, and they will leave on their own."
Qin Yizhou turned his head and signaled. The servant behind him stepped out of the way. The two men checking the silver carried the silver box and left. A man turned back and said: "Brother Deng, take care."
Deng Laoba said with a smile: "You go out and use this money to find a good living and take good care of those orphans and widows. Don't do this desperate work in the future. Tell Huahua to raise our son well."
This was a last message. Although the two men carrying the box were grown up, their faces were relatively small. They looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. After listening to Deng Laoba's words, both of them had tears in their eyes, but their steps were slow. Stop and go back quickly. Although this large box of silver contains two hundred taels of gold and is much lighter than the ten thousand taels of silver, it weighs three hundred kilograms. Two teenagers are carrying such a big box of silver. Even though he was carrying a box, he was walking as fast as flying, which showed that his martial arts skills were extraordinary.
Seeing the two of them crossing the hall, Deng Laoba patted a horizontal knife on his waist, turned around and said, "Now we brothers are going to settle accounts with the Li family. Brothers, let's go."
After saying that, he gently grabbed the top of the five-meter-high courtyard wall with both hands, and climbed up the wall with all his strength. A dozen men behind him also climbed up the wall. In the distance, a group of patrolmen turned around and left. Several people quickly climbed down the courtyard wall on Qin Yizhou's side, climbed onto the wall of the Protector's Mansion on the opposite side, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Qin Yizhou stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, his face expressionless. A person behind him stepped forward and lowered his head and asked: "Treasurer, although Deng Laoba is the most skilled among the guards running retail, I'm afraid there are only a dozen of them. Success, are we really pinning our hopes on them?¡±
Qin Yizhou sneered and said: "I only found out by chance that Deng Laoba was the original second son of the Kuangfeng horse bandits. Although their horse bandits only had more than 300 people, they were all highly skilled in martial arts. Even the large caravan dared to attack brazenly, but Li Hu led a thousand cavalry to suppress it. The head of the boss Deng Zhen was beheaded and hung on the city wall. Only ten of the more than three hundred horse bandits were left. Several people can be said to have a blood feud with the Li family. Don't look at Deng Laoba and his horse bandits, but they can't defeat Li Hu's cavalry. The Deng brothers are really strong in martial arts. They are no match for them in the battle formation, but this assassin sneaked in. The advancement and retreat between the pavilions, Deng Laoba's kung fu is nothing to say. The martial arts skills of the military formation are different from the fight between these two people. Deng Laoba also has the desire to fight to the death. I wonder how the Li family will cope with it this time. "
The person who asked the question was the steward of Qin Yizhou's house. After hearing this, he said: "Your Excellency, you are really wise. The Li family is doomed this time."
Qin Yizhou said: "Deng Laoba and the others have gone. It's good if they succeed, but this is a serious blow to morale. If we don't succeed, we will attack immediately. Although we have few people, we can succeed even if the Protectorate is caught off guard. Deng Laoba and the others are our pathfinders. You should hurry up and prepare. There is an arsenal at the corner of the street. When the fire breaks out, take action immediately. After taking the weapons, go to the Duhu Mansion. If anyone asks, just say that you are here to put out the fire."
The steward bowed and said, "Yes."
Let¡¯s talk about Deng Laoba and his party who entered the garden of the Governor¡¯s Mansion. Deng Laoba and the others gathered together cautiously in the garden. Deng Laoba said in a low voice: ¡°Xiao Wu, Hao Yong, you two go to the kitchen one by one, and the other two One of them goes to the servant's room to set a fire. After arriving, wait for half an hour before lighting the fire. Brother Wang Hu, Peng Fei, and Zhang Yue go to Li Zuoguo's wife and Mrs. Yun separately. The rest of you go directly according to the map provided by Treasurer Qin. Li Zuoguo's mother's small building was waiting, and they stormed in with the fire. They captured the people first and killed all the women, leaving only Li Zuoguo's son and his wife. In this way, we also have a way to survive. If we can't capture them alive, we will kill them with all our might. , brothers, let¡¯s go.¡±
Deng Laoba showed a murderous look on his face. The dozen or so people around him nodded and quickly divided into four groups to touch their respective targets. Naturally, there were patrolling soldiers in the Duhu Mansion, but they were only in the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard. It was the female soldiers from Ashina's tribe brought by Ariel who were in charge. However, the courtyard of the Protector's Mansion was too big, and more than 80 people including Deng and Lao were all highly skilled people, so they were not discovered even if they were careful.
There were eight people in Deng Laoba's group. The larger the number, the greater the chance of exposure. Deng Laoba slowly poked his head out from the flowers. In front of him was a doorway. Inside the doorway was a garden, with a pond in the middle of the garden. , behind the pond is a three-story building with wing rooms connected by corridors on both sides. There are no defensive guards in the courtyard.
Deng Laoba was still not careless. He observed carefully and confirmed that except for the patrol consisting of 20 female soldiers who had just escaped when they came in, no one was seen guarding the outside of the small building. Deng Laoba made a gesture. The flowers blooming silently among the flowers around meSeveral black shadows appeared, and several figures descended from some trees not far away. Deng Laoba entered the courtyard first, and then each of the eight people found cover and hid.
Suddenly two red lights appeared in the Duhu Mansion in the distance, and thick smoke rose at the same time. Then there was a faint cry of putting out a fire. At this time, I was also alarmed. The lights were lit upstairs. Deng Laoba knew that he had set the fire. The two brothers had succeeded, and they immediately jumped out, pulled out the horizontal sword with their backhand, and rushed towards the small building with the sword in both hands. The seven horse thieves behind him who had killed countless people also jumped out without concealment, drew their weapons and followed. Deng Laoba rushed out together.
Deng Laoba knew that Li Zuoguo's mother's small building could not be defenseless, but Deng Laoba believed that with the skills of his brothers, the female soldiers would not be able to stop them at all, and they would be able to kill the biggest enemy in his heart at a glance. There was no shame in Deng Laoba's heart for attacking women and children, only the excitement before killing.
The figure flashed, and a figure passed Deng Laoba. Deng Laoba knew that it was a strong man under his command, a horse thief named Yang Houhou, who was good at using a pair of swords. He got this nickname because his body resembled that of a monkey. Yang Houhou killed people. When he was young, he always liked to rush in front. Because he was disabled and was ridiculed as a child, he was the most cruel when killing people. He liked to chop off people's limbs and watch them bleed to death with a smile.
Yang Houhou was extremely excited at this time, being able to avenge his brothers. Yang Houhou didn't even want to keep Li Zuoguo's mother Wen Shi alive. He just wanted to kill Wen Shi cruelly and let Li Zuoguo experience it. The feeling of Brother Deng¡¯s head hanging on the city gate.
One of Yang Houhou's feet has already stepped on the corridor below the small building. With just a little bit of ground, he can easily break through the carved door in front and rush into the small building to start the killing spree. A few drops seeped out from the tip of Yang Houhou's nose. There were beads of sweat, and the breathing was a little heavier in excitement.
At this moment, Yang Hou seemed to see the shadow of a pillar in front of the porch come alive. Yang Hou couldn't help but look in that direction in shock. The shadow covered it like a black vine. It seemed slow but was actually as fast as lightning. At this time, Yang Hou's toes were still there. There is no wooden floor on the cloister.
Yang Houhou would never have the chance to set foot on the corridor. His pupils were dilated to the limit. There was a loud noise in his ears, and then his chest shook. Yang Houhou heard the sound of bones breaking like exploding beans. He didn't want to hear this sound. Strange, because more than one person had broken bones in Yang Houhou's hand. Yang Houhou felt that he suddenly became lighter. He felt that the small building suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and then became lighter.
Yang Houhou heard the exclamation from Brother Deng, and then thought to himself: "Didn't we go to the corridor? Why did we see the small building again?"
No one answered Yang Hou's question anymore, and he couldn't hear it, because Yang Hou was already dead. Deng Laoba was the one who saw this scene completely. He only saw Yang Hou walking towards the corridor in one stride. Zong, and then his eyes blurred. A man in Tsing Yi stood in front of Yang Houhou. With a loud noise mixed with the sound of broken bones, Yang Houfei flew out, directly over Deng Laoba's head, and flew twenty steps away. It just fell down and flew directly over the pond in the courtyard. After Yang Houyue landed, he made no sound again.
Deng Laoba was shocked and angry, and let out an uncontrollable exclamation. There was already a person standing on the corridor. He was dressed like a servant in a green hat and a handsome face with a murderous look. It was Zheng Chunyun.
Deng Laoba was shocked and angry and knew that this must be the guard of the Li Mansion. As for why there was a man in the inner courtyard, Deng Laoba had no time to think about it. He had too much fighting experience, and his body's reaction was much faster than his thoughts. Wrong, he held his right hand with his left hand, held the knife in both hands and shouted "Yeah." He slashed the knife toward Zheng Chunyun's head.
The remaining six people behind Deng Laoba were also experienced and highly skilled in martial arts, and their reaction speed was only a smidge slower than Deng Laoba. The weapons in the hands of the three of them swayed with white light, and they cooperated with Deng Laoba to attack the sudden enemy. Go, while the other three chose to rush directly into the corridor, preparing to rush into the small building, and they cooperated quite tacitly.
Countless officers, soldiers, traders, and guards were killed by Deng Laoba's sword. What he was most confident about was the speed of his sword. The lightning-like speed of the sword caused countless people to be beheaded before they could even react. The person in front of him was A young man dressed as a servant put unprecedented pressure on Deng Laoba. This knife was completely the result of Deng Laoba's lifelong skills. It was powerful and swift, and it was about to hit the man's shoulder and neck. Deng Laoba Ba was confident that this knife could cut the man in half from the shoulder.
But Deng Laoba saw the handsome enemy in front of him suddenly turned his head and looked to the side. He didn't seem to see Deng Laoba's knife at all. Deng Laoba suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. Why did he still have time to look aside after such a fast knife? superior?
With a "click", Deng Laoba's sword fell. This sound was not the sound of cleaving the enemy, but the sound of Deng Laoba being unable to hold back his sword and splitting the wooden floor of the corridor. The three who cooperated with Deng Laoba's attack ?Their weapons also failed. The four of them felt that their eyes were blurred and the enemy disappeared. Then the four of them heard two muffled sounds from the side. When they looked sideways, they saw two figures flying high like monkeys. None of the four saw the enemy, but there was another sound and a long scream from the other side. The four turned their heads again, and then all four saw Zheng Chunyun's figure.
Zheng Chunyun held the last person of the three people who wanted to rush into the small building with both hands. He grabbed the back of the person's neck with one hand and grabbed the person's thigh with the other hand. The hand that grabbed the thigh sank deeply into the flesh like a steel hook. In the middle, the man's body had been twisted into a twist, blood spurted out from his mouth, and he could not survive. Just because Zheng Chunyun was not killed by one blow, the man let out a scream, and Zheng Chunyun showed a look of impatience on his face. , glanced at the small building behind him worriedly, fearing that the dying scream would disturb everyone in the building.
Deng Laoba and the others saw Zheng Chunyun folding his hands like a branch. The human body that was still screaming in his hands was folded in half. The screams stopped suddenly. Zheng Chunyun flicked his hand, and the nearly two hundred kilogram human body fell into pieces. It flew out like a ball of paper and made a muffled sound when it landed.
Deng Laoba felt a cold air rushing up from his heels and directly to the top of his head. What kind of monster is this? If he were a human being, his martial arts would be completely unstoppable to us and the others. The speed at which this man moved just now made it impossible for Deng Laoba and others to keep up with him. His speed was like that of a god performing magic and transforming into a ghost. how to spell?
Deng Laoba¡¯s heart sank. A deep sense of powerlessness gripped Deng Laoba¡¯s heart like an invisible big hand, making him unable to breathe.
Zheng Chunyun killed four people with just a few gestures. At this moment, the cold, dead eyes turned to Deng Laoba, with an expression like looking at an ant.
