    ~¡¶¡·~ Chapter 23 Wolf Ambition

    Yan Ao committed suicide, and no matter who died in the end, it had nothing to do with Hu Xiaotian.  But considering that Yan Jiu and Yan Ao are close by flesh and blood, and they are temporary partners who share the joys and sorrows of each other, she should be informed of the news of Yan Ao's arrival in the city as soon as possible.  Immediately, he hurried back to Sun Mansion and found Yan Jiu to tell him about the matter.

    After hearing this, Yan Jiu was happy and worried at the same time, and said anxiously: "My father doesn't know yet that Yan Si has exposed his ambition. What if he mistakenly believes this and is betrayed?" She was so thoughtful that she immediately thought of  Knowing the key point, in order to win the throne of the sect leader, is there any reason why Yan Si should not betray Yan Ao?  I was immediately anxious and restless.

    Hu Xiaotian comforted her and said: "Miss Yan, Sect Leader Yan has been in the world for decades. He knows that people's hearts are sinister and will not fall into traps easily. What's more, at this precarious moment, he must be cautious in every step he takes. Even if Yan Si conspired to murder  With my heart, I will not be able to grasp the whereabouts of Sect Leader Yan in the short term. Therefore, he is still safe for the time being."

    Yan Jiudao: "Although my father is cautious by nature and will not trust others easily, when he arrives in Luoyang, he will probably sneak back to his old house in Jinyu Lane. However, the old house has been controlled by Yan Si and has become a desperate situation!" The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.  Stomping his feet, he said, "It's all my fault for my lack of experience in the world of martial arts. I didn't pay attention to my fellow sect members fighting each other. Not only did I harm Uncle Yu and Aunt Hua, but I also hurt my father. No, no matter what, I can't sit idly by and ignore it. I want to go back!"

    Hu Xiaotian hurriedly stopped her: "You returned to the old house rashly, wouldn't it be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth? Yan Si is not stupid. Now that he has learned that Master Yan has entered the city, how could he not set an ambush? If you show up, he will catch them all.  Chances are, I won¡¯t be able to save your father at that time, and I will suffer humiliation myself. Think about it carefully, is there a special communication code between you father and daughter? "

    Yan Jiu smiled bitterly and said: "Yan Si knows all the secret words of our sect, how can we hide them from his eyes and ears?"

    Hu Xiaotian frowned and said, "Since code words can't be used, how about simply using plain words?"

    Yan Jiu said in astonishment: "What is 'clear language'? Why can't I understand it?"

    Hu Xiaotian said: "Zongzhu Yan's status is quite noble on the surface, right? He should have a pseudonym. And besides you, Yan Si and others wouldn't know his pseudonym, right?" At that time, there were people with status or status.  He is a child of a famous family. In addition to his name, he usually has a font size that corresponds to his "name".  Because according to etiquette, it is inconvenient for a man to call him by his first name when he becomes an adult, so he chooses an alias that is related to the meaning of his real name and calls it a zi to express his virtue.  When ordinary people call each other respectfully, they must call each other a word that expresses virtue, which is referred to as "Piao Zi".  For example, Li Bai was named Taibai, Sun Quan was named Zhongmou, Cao Zhi was named Zijian, and Zhao Yun was named Zilong.  Of course, ordinary people and heroes would not bother to choose a nickname. A surname and a given name would be fine.

    Yan Jiu nodded: "My father's nickname is 'Mianzhi'. Only my third brother and I know about it. Who else dares to inquire?"

    Hu Xiaotian clapped his palms together and said with a smile: "Now that the font size is available, it's done!"

    After noon, a group of laughing and joking young people suddenly appeared in Luoyang City. They were in groups of two or three, carrying small buckets filled with ink and thick brushes. They dispersed to the alleys near Jinyu Lane and painted on the walls.  A few big characters were written, "Mian Zhi, there are enemies in the old house", each character was as tall as half a person.  They divided the work and wrote dozens of slogans in just half an hour. When the ink ran out, they dispersed.

    Hu Xiaotian and Yan Jiu hid in a temporarily hired carriage, observing the actions of the teenagers with different moods.  Yan Jiu said worriedly: "Even if we hire someone to write warning slogans, if my father takes action at night and there is no light in the night, wouldn't these words be written in vain?"

    Hu Xiaotian said: "When writing with ink, the head of the department and the guards will just treat it as a prank by the students and will not interfere. If it is written with red paint, it will look like dripping blood at first glance, and it will be cleaned up immediately, and then it will be done."  The purpose of warning is no longer served. I think Sect Leader Yan is extremely skilled in martial arts, and with the light of the stars and the moon, it is easy to see the words on the wall."

    Yan Jiu thought for a while and then said: "Then why not write one more sentence to expose Yan Si's vicious plan?"

    Hu Xiaotian sighed: "Miss Yan, it is not advisable to alert the head of the workshop or the guards, let alone Yan Si? If the names of Yan Si or Jia Chun are written, how long do you think the big characters on the wall can be kept? We are following this strategy.  The purpose is to avoid attracting the attention of Yan Si or other heroes in the world. It is enough to just reveal the information to Sect Master Yan and prevent him from falling into the trap. If you write too much, it will be superfluous and goes too far. "

    Yan Jiu was concerned and confused. After hearing his explanation, he was convinced and said softly: "Actually, burning down the old house with a fire is the most direct warning."

    Hu Xiaotian was startled: "The end of Jinyu Alley is in a remote location, making it easy for an ambush. You won't act rashly, right?" It's easy to set a fire, but difficult to escape. Yan Sizheng was eager for her to throw herself into the trap.

    Yan Jiu rolled his eyes at him."Am I that stupid? Apart from the old house, the second place my father might go is the head of the Lianzhu Gang. What should we do next?"

    The entrance of the Lianzhu Gang is located in Heng 1st Lane in the south of the city. There are ordinary houses in front, back and left. A little further away is a continuous shantytown, where the poorest and most humble people live.  Sewage flows across the place, the air is polluted, dragons and snakes are mixed together, and robbery and theft are commonplace. It is actually the most chaotic area in the city.  In order not to be too ostentatious, the two of them got off the carriage at a distance, walked into a teahouse, ordered a pot of tea and some snacks, and sat down by the window.

    Looking from a distance, there were more than ten burly men squatting on both sides of the alley, with sticks at hand.  Their eyes are alert and their expressions are not friendly. When they see suspicious people walking by, they will take the initiative to interrogate them. Sometimes they will inevitably shout loudly and use fists and kicks.  The pedestrians passing by were frightened and afraid to avoid it.

    Hu Xiaotian whispered: "The Lianzhu Gang is extremely guarded, and there are many vendors with strange behavior on the streets on both sides. They are probably their spy agents. The methods used before are not suitable to be used here. In my opinion  , why not come back when the night is quiet. Didn¡¯t you just propose setting fire to it? Are you interested in burning down their lair tonight?"

    Yan Jiu was stunned and said in surprise: "You want me to set a fire in the middle of the night?"

    Hu Xiaotian said confidently: "Of course it's you! The Lianzhu Gang belongs to the Underworld. If you burn it, burn it, and no one will blame you for it. If it were me who did it, I would inevitably have to take responsibility afterwards, and maybe I would have to pay compensation.  Or whatever, it¡¯s not as good as your reputation.¡±

    Yan Jiu murmured: "Burning the Lianzhu Gang on fire is a plan to draw out the firepower! Okay, I'll burn it!" Compared with Yan Ao's safety, what does burning a Lianzhu Gang mean?  As long as the fire ignites, Yan Aozhi will naturally be alert enough with his shrewdness and caution.  If he can persist until reinforcements such as Yan Da and Yan Er appear, he can turn danger into safety, clean up the family, and regain power.

    Hu Xiaotian said: "With your skills, it is easy to get in and out of the Lianzhu Gang. The only thing to worry about is that Yan Si will hide aside and suddenly burst out. Therefore, you must act quickly, swiftly and decisively. Do not go deep into the Lianzhu Gang and burn it."  Just leave the surrounding houses. If someone intercepts you, don't be reluctant to fight. The first thing is to escape and escape."

    Yan Jiu wrinkled the tip of his nose: "I, a little girl, went deep into the tiger's den to set fire, and you, a dignified man, are you just talking and watching the fun?"

    Hu Xiaotian spread his hands and said, "I'm responsible for providing support and monitoring the surroundings for you."

    Yan Jiu looked at him intently and suddenly said: "You are so weird. You say you don't know martial arts but you can kill the soul guard with a broken piece of wood. You say you are good at martial arts but you can't use your internal strength. What's the reason? Are you really  Are you a disciple of the Demon Cult? A disciple of Xuanzong?"

    Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't you believe what I said? Why do you ask so much?"

    Yan Jiudao: "I originally thought you were lying. That's because Xuanzong's disciple must be the devil of Xiao Ao Jianghu. How could he be as bookish as you? But yesterday you killed the soul guard with one move and trapped him with something cold.  Yan Si still has Lihuo Dan hidden in his body, which is far beyond what ordinary disciples of the sect can do. Moreover, Sister Xiuniang told me that you once mortgaged a valuable royal jade pendant at the Sun family pawnshop. In view of this,  I have to overturn my original judgment. Mr. Hu Xiaotian, I want to hear the truth from you."

    Hu Xiaotian smiled slightly and said seriously: "I didn't lie to you, I am a closed disciple of the leader of the divine religion. The reason why I cannot use my inner strength and perform Qing Gong is all because I am practicing forbidden martial arts."

    "Practice forbidden arts?!" Yan Jiu was surprised. No matter which sect he was in, only true direct disciples were qualified to practice forbidden arts and seek breakthroughs in martial arts practice.  Once a practitioner succeeds in breaking the restriction, his skill will advance by leaps and bounds, surpassing his peers, and achieving a lifetime of fame.  However, the path of practicing forbidden martial arts is extremely dangerous. Since you cannot use force, if you unfortunately encounter wild beasts and bandits, even a genius who is not seen in a century will fall silently.  Who would have dared to embark on this frightening and murderous road without a determined, wise and courageous person?  Yan Jiu couldn't help but look at him with admiration. After all, not one among millions of people may be willing to give up his extraordinary power and walk around the world like an ordinary person. He exclaimed: "You can kill powerful enemies while practicing forbidden skills. It's simply amazing."  ! What kind of strange skills have you practiced?"

    Hu Xiaotian couldn't laugh or cry, and it's no wonder that Yan Si had other ideas. Yan Jiu was indeed too young and naive, and didn't even understand the general taboos in the world. He said softly: "Miss Yan, it's not convenient for me to reveal the secret of Kung Fu practice to you. Please  Forgive me."

    Yan Jiu's cheeks were slightly red, and he quickly stuck out his tongue, and said in a panic: "I didn't mean to find out the secrets of the Demon Sect's skills. I was just curious. Don't get me wrong." Although she was simple-minded, she was not stupid, and she immediately  Knowing that he asked the wrong question, who would be willing to reveal a life-or-death secret unless it was someone he absolutely trusted?

    At this moment, Heng YiA fat man with a swollen face like a pig walked out of the room, his left hand tightly covering his pocket, and an indescribable secret smile on his face, which looked obscene and made people want to punch him a few times.  The men guarding the alley were very familiar with him, and they all said hello.

    Hu Xiaotian said curiously: "That's strange, what is Sun Haoxiang doing here at the Lianzhu Gang?"

    Yan Jiu followed his gaze and frowned: "This fat man is Sister Xiu Niang's brother-in-law? He looks so wretched and disgusting, as if he is going to do something dirty."

    Hu Xiaotian's heart moved slightly and he said, "Maybe we can dig out some information about the Lianzhu Gang from his mouth." After paying the bill, he and Yan Jiu followed Sun Haoxiang calmly.

    Sun Haoxiang was in a good mood, and even his steps were much brisker. He didn't realize he was being followed, and walked straight back to Sun's mansion along the street.  Although he was not welcomed by everyone in the mansion, he was the young master of the Sun family after all, and he walked proudly without anyone stopping him.  Sun Haoxiang didn't go anywhere else, but he got into the kitchen and shouted carelessly: "What good food is cooked tonight? Let the Fourth Young Master taste it first!"

    The six or seven cooks who were busy in the kitchen were not surprised. One of them laughed and said: "Four Young Masters, you come to the kitchen all day long to beg for food. I'm afraid you won't be able to walk if you continue to eat like this!"

    Sun Haoxiang patted his belly and said: "Sage Confucius said that food and sex are the same. Eating is a supreme enjoyment. Those of you who have never read will not understand. Hey, this pot of ginseng, flower, yam and black chicken soup  It's very strong and fragrant. How come you only boiled it for such a small amount? It's not enough for me to rinse my mouth." The cook next to me hurriedly said: "Four Young Masters, this is specially boiled for Madam to replenish her body. Please bear with it and don't mess around.  Move." Sun Haoxiang shouted dissatisfied: "Why can Li Xiuniang drink and I can't? I am the young master of the Sun family, and her surname is Li!" The cook hurriedly said: "Fourth Young Master, don't be angry, my wife is a member of the family.  Master, the treatment is naturally different. How about I cook a pot of soup for you separately?" Sun Haoxiang cursed a few times and pretended to say: "Okay, I won't embarrass you, but you have to use the same ingredients to make the soup."  The cook only said yes and turned around to go about her business without mentioning it.

    Sun Haoxiang's little eyes turned around, and when he was unprepared, he quickly took out a small porcelain bottle and poured all the powder in the bottle into the black-bone chicken soup. Looking at the bubbling chicken soup, he couldn't help but laugh when he thought about what he was proud of.  Lewd, laughing.

    Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind: "Fourth Young Master Sun, long time no see!"

    Sun Haoxiang was shaken all over, his hair stood on end, and his swollen cheeks on both sides throbbed with pain.  He turned around with difficulty, his neck and waist bones cracking. When he saw Hu Xiaotian with a sneer, his knees weakened and he was about to kneel down.  Hu Xiaotian supported the fat man who was paralyzed with fear, and whispered in his ear: "What did you just add to the soup?" Sun Haoxiang was caught in a trap, so how could he have the guts to lie, and muttered: "Yes, yes  , strange lustful acacia powder." Hu Xiaotian was furious: "You are a bastard who is worse than a beast, you actually want to rape your own sister-in-law?" Sun Haoxiang was so frightened that he was covered in chaff and begged in a low voice: "Master Hu, please don't hit me.  It's shameful. As long as you don't report me to my sister-in-law, I will agree to any conditions you have."

    Hu Xiaotian glared at him with disgust and dragged him out of the kitchen to a remote and uninhabited corner.  Sun Haoxiang was inexplicable and his body was shaking more and more: "Brother, don't you want to kill people and silence them, right?" Hu Xiaotian said: "Stop talking nonsense. You went to Lianzhu Gang to buy aphrodisiacs today, right?" Sun Haoxiang was shocked and scared.  , feeling the fear of being pierced through his heart, he nodded and said: "Yes." Hu Xiaotian said: "Then please tell us in detail the layout of the Lianzhu Gang's courtyard, especially the positions of manpower security." Sun Haoxiang gasped,  Feeling anxious in my heart, I recounted everything I saw and heard like a bamboo tube pouring beans.  Hu Xiaotian waited for him to finish speaking, looked at the pitiful and ashen-faced Sun Haoxiang, and said calmly: "I won't kill you or beat you, but I will punish you by drinking the chicken soup that you just added. If there is even a drop left,  I guarantee you won¡¯t see the sun tomorrow. Are you going to drink or not?¡± Sun Haoxiang shouted hurriedly, as if he had found a life-saving straw: ¡°I¡¯ll drink, I¡¯ll drink!¡± He was afraid that Hu Xiaotian would put forward more stringent conditions and become impatient.  rushed to the kitchen.  I heard scoldings, roars, scuffles, and chaos all of a sudden in the kitchen.

    Yan Jiu emerged from behind the invisible tree and asked curiously: "Why did you let him drink chicken soup? Did you want to burn him to death?"

    Hu Xiaotian smiled and did not answer, so that she would not hear any strange noises, he grabbed her and walked away quickly.  As for what kind of scandal and jokes Sun Haoxiang would cause after drinking the chicken soup, there was no need to worry about it.

    Late at night, the long street is lonely.

    Hu Xiaotian and Yan Jiu hid in the dark, silently observing the movements of the Lianzhu Gang.  Through Sun Haoxiang's description, they had a rough idea of ??the gang's structural layout. Where the defenses were relatively empty and where were the core areas, they only waited for the opponent to rest and fall asleep before setting fire to them.  In order to enhance the power, several barrels of kerosene were specially obtained and prepared to be thrown into the fire to aid combustion.

    time flies,The lights inside the wall gradually went out, and the night guards were either yawning or nodding with their eyes closed, and the barking of dogs in the distance was clearly audible.

    Yan Jiu and Hu Xiaotian exchanged a look, lifted the bundled kerosene barrels with one hand, jumped lightly, and floated into the night like ghosts.  Hu Xiaotianyun glanced around and saw nothing unusual - it was just too quiet, so quiet that it made people palpitate!

    The cold wind swirled through the empty streets, sending dust and debris flying all over the sky.

    The omens of uneasiness in Hu Xiaotian's heart are getting stronger and stronger. Yan Ao is in trouble and surrounded by enemies. Even in the middle of the night, the Lianzhu Gang should not be so quiet inside and outside!  Is it possible that such a huge underworld gang doesn't have any members who are so loud and indulgent?  Can everyone wash their feet and go to bed on time?  Could it be that Yan Si set a trap here instead of guarding his old house on Jinyu Lane?  Just thinking about this made my palms sweat.

    Suddenly, there was a flash of fire, and a fire ignited on a row of roof ridges near the wall.  Before the fire started to heat up, two gongs were heard, dozens of sharp roars were heard at the same time, and crossbow arrows shot through the air, like a downpour, towards the slender figure standing on the ridge of the roof!

    Fell into a trap!

    Hu Xiaotian was so angry that he finally underestimated Yan Si¡¯s mind and imagined that the enemy was too stupid!  Suddenly, a loud bang was heard in Lianzhu Gang, and a dazzling fireball exploded. The power of the explosion caused all the building walls within a hundred meters to crack and collapse, and the thick smoke billowed up, making it extremely terrifying.  Amidst the thick smoke and flames, Yan Jiu flew out with a staggering gait. Five or six feet behind her was Yan Si, who was as hideous as a ghost!
