- Chapter 44 Those People
When Xiang Qingniu saw Fang Jie's eyes that had completely turned red, his heartbeat seemed to stop suddenly. He has never seen a person's eyes so terrifying, and he has never seen any ordinary person with such a pair of eyes that can only be described as monster.
Fang Jie had experienced many ambushes before, but because he always had well-trained guards around him, he had no danger.
Today's assassination, which seemed almost safe and even solved with ease, was the most dangerous one he had ever experienced. If his reaction had been half a second slower, he would have been among those lying on the ground now. One of the corpses.
The assassin closest to him was less than twenty steps away. The crossbow arrow fired from a single crossbow at this distance could not kill him because of his reaction and a little luck.
When the assassin jumped up, the rays of the sun reflected on the arrow clusters of the crossbow dazzled Fang Jie's eyes.
If it weren¡¯t for this small warning, Fang Jie wouldn¡¯t have had time to draw out his horizontal sword.
Today¡¯s assassination is the most tense one in Fang Jie¡¯s history. The muscles on his arms are still as hard as iron, and the hard bulging muscles have a sense of strength. His right hand held the knife, and his left hand held Xiang Qingniu's front, almost suffocating him.
"I heard what you said, who are those people!"
Fang Jie looked directly into Xiang Qingniu¡¯s eyes and asked.
This young man, who was clearly incapable of practicing cultivation and whose Qihai was not as good as that of ordinary people, suddenly burst out with aura at this moment. Xiang Qingniu had experienced the invincible momentum of his second senior brother when he wanted to kill someone. It was majestic and heart-stopping. But the aura of his second senior brother was unparalleled pressure, and the aura on Fang Jie's body was a cold, cruel and terrifying aura, like a snake, a knife, or a devil.
"Youryour eyes."
Xiang Qingniu did not answer Fang Jie's question, but subconsciously pointed at Fang Jie's eyes.
With this question, Mu Xiaoyao and Da Quan also noticed changes in Fang Jie.
Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, his tense nerves relaxed slightly, and the red light in his eyes gradually receded, returning to the original black and white.
"What's wrong?"
he asks.
At this time, he discovered that Xiang Qingniu was strangled in his hands until he was almost suffocated.
He slowly let go of his hand and took a step back. For a moment, he felt as if his strength had been drained from his body. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of relaxation after extreme tension that it feels like this, or if it¡¯s something else. He was so tired that he wanted to lie down, but his legs were so weak that they could hardly support his body.
But he did not fall down, but used the horizontal knife as a crutch to poke at the ground.
"First tell me where those people came from."
When he asked this question, the carriage team led by Hongxiuzhao in front also stopped in the distance. After a while, the old lame man with a big wine gourd tied to his waist came to their side. The old lame man glanced at the dead bodies scattered on the ground, and his expression gradually became serious.
"if¡¡"
Xiang Qingniu swallowed hard, his expression a little painful: "If there is no problem with my memory, there seems to be only one kind of person in this world who can almost completely hide his body shape between heaven and earth. Although their cultivation level may be It¡¯s very low, but it¡¯s difficult for even top experts to detect their existence, so they have created the myth of killing cultivation masters as ordinary people many times.¡±
"Butthis is impossible."
¡°Why is it impossible?!¡±
Fang Jie was breathing heavily, feeling like his mind was in a mess.
He is now full of questions, but he has neglected one thing that he should pay attention to. He jumped off his horse, rolled to the ground, and rushed into the assassins instead of avoiding them. Was it a subconscious reaction, or did he realize that the assassins were not very powerful when he was assassinated? If it's the latter, how much calm judgment is needed?
But now, how does he look like a calm person?
Xiang Qingniu shook his head, but still did not give an answer. The old lame man squatted down and inspected a corpse before sighing. He turned to look at Fang Jie: "If this little Taoist priest's guess is correct, then I should really doubt where you came from. Because these people never know They will attack ordinary people. Their targets are often very specific and they will never interfere in irrelevant matters. They are assassins who kill assassins and scouts who kill scouts"
Da Quan and Mu Xiaoyao looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
The old lame man didn't say anything else, he just gave Fang Jie a meaningful look and then left. Xiang Qingniu stopped talking and refused to continue talking even if Fang Jie pressed him. But Fang Jie could tell that the way Xiang Qingniu and the old cripple looked at him changed, becoming a little strange, and there was even a hint of hostility hidden in the strangeness.
This made him annoyed, even angry.
It was clear that both Xiang Qingniu and Lao Laizi had guessed the identities of these people, but there was no hostility in their tone towards these assassins, and even some respect. It was precisely because of this vague respect that Fang Jie even thought that he was the one who deserved to die.
And those assassins are all heroes.
¡¡
¡¡
The carriage continued to move forward, seemingly at a gentle pace, but there was no doubt that a thick dark cloud hung over everyone's mind. I don't know whether it was because he was afraid of Fang Jie's terrifying eyes or for other reasons. Xiang Qingniu, a guy who was too lazy to take a step, gave up riding in the car and climbed onto a war horse with difficulty to walk side by side with Cui Lueshang. He seemed to have deliberately distanced himself from Fang Jie, either out of caution or hostility.
This feels very bad.
The five-person party had just begun, and in an instant, only Da Quan and Mu Xiao Yao were left around.
Cui Lueshang was still in a daze because he was frightened and shocked. He rode a horse and followed the carriage forward, giving the impression that he was sleepwalking. And Xiang Qingniu, a fat and fair little Taoist, peeked at Fang Jie sitting on the carriage from time to time.
There were several times when he hesitated to speak, and Fang Jie saw it all.
"Fang Jie"
The big dog flicked his riding crop, seeming to vent his inner frustration: "Why don't we go to the Great Sui Dynasty Capital? I always feel that there will be no peace on this journey."
"Are you afraid?"
Fang explained the question.
"A little bit indeed."
The big dog nodded, leaning on the carriage and looking at the red-sleeved convoy in front of them, which had already extended the distance to three hundred meters. It seemed that the people over there were deliberately keeping a farther distance, as if they didn't want to get involved with the carriage here.
"Those assassins just now were not masters"
The big dog sighed.
Fang Jie snorted: "I know, I killed five people in a row, and the skills of these people are worse than those of veterans who have fought a hundred battles. One-on-one fighting is definitely not the You Xiaowei Jingbu we encountered." The opponents of the soldiers in the battalion. Although their reactions were first-rate, their skills could not keep up with their reactions. Therefore, they only had one way to kill me, and that was the first shot after dozens of single crossbows fired, they failed to kill me. I, they have already failed. With such a single method and such low cultivation levelthey will kill an assassin if he is not carefulit is terrifying."
"It's really scary."
Big Dog thought about the fight just now, knocked on the carriage and asked Mu Xiaoyao inside: "Did you think of something?"
Mu Xiaoyao, who was not sleeping or lying down, but sitting cross-legged in the carriage with a straight body, put down the wine bag and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The reason for their low cultivation level is that if they want to fully integrate into nature, the higher the cultivation level, the harder it is for people to do so, because the higher the cultivation level, the more special they will appear and the stronger their momentum will be, unable to Covered by nature. Their reaction is first-rate, which is the result of long-term training, but the training for them is not how to cultivate, but how to kill with one strike This training must be cruel just one thing. It can be done easily.¡±
"What?"
Fang explained the question.
"Hide your emotions and don't vent even a trace of human emotions. When they are ambush, they are a part of nature, a piece of grass, a stone, a handful of yellow sand, but they are definitely not human beings. At this time, they have no human atmosphere and no emotion.¡±
The big dog nodded: "So they didn't have any murderous intention before they took action."
Fang Jie was stunned and quickly integrated the inferences of Mu Xiaoyao and Da Quan in his mind. The more he thought about it carefully, the more terrifying he felt that these ordinary people were extremely terrifying. If it weren't for a little bit of luck, if he hadn't experienced too many ambushes in the past fifteen years, he would have died today.
A group of ordinary people can suppress all the emotions of one person. There will be no excitement, no excitement, no anxiety. Before they take action, they are not even a person.
"It's not the pursuers we encountered in the past years."
Big Dog said seriously: "If the people who were chasing us had such a group of assassins, I'm afraid we would all be dead. They are close to nature,Naturally, when they sit next to you in a restaurant, you won¡¯t look at them twice. When they pass you by, you don't even notice. Compared with those who have advanced cultivation, assassins like them are really hard to guard against. Because you don't know where and when they will give you the fatal blow. "
"so¡¡"
He looked at Fang Jie and advised, "Should we not go to Chang'an, the imperial capital?"
¡¡
¡¡
"must go!"
After a moment of silence, Fang Jie gave a decisive answer.
He stroked the horizontal knife in his hand and his voice gradually calmed down: "No matter how terrible these people are, there is one weakness that can be determined"
"What?"
"They don't dare to kill me in the imperial capital!"
Fang Jie said in a cold voice: "Although I don't know who they are or why they want to kill me, what I can be sure of is that their purpose of appearing at this time is to prevent me from going to the imperial capital. Maybe it's me After arriving in the imperial capital, it will pose a great threat to the leader behind them. And after arriving in the imperial capital, this person will find it difficult to have a chance to kill me. "
His thoughts gradually became clearer, and after thinking for a while he continued: "After arriving in the Imperial Capital, I will take the exam for the Yanwu Academy. If I fail to pass the exam, I will have to report back to the Ministry of War and then either be transferred back to Fan Gu or transferred As long as I leave the imperial capital, they will still have a chance to kill me, and as long as I leave, the threat to them will be gone So what they are afraid of is that I enter the Martial Arts Academy, and what they are afraid of is that I enter the Martial Arts Academy. They couldn't do anything after that, and they seemed to be sure that I could get into the martial arts academy, so they were eager to kill me. It can be seen that these people are from Chang'an."
"Why are they so sure that I can get close to the Martial Arts Academy? Did they get any information?"
"Are they afraid of what I will do when I get to the Martial Arts Academy?"
"These assassins are well-coordinated and well-organized. They are definitely not people from the world."
"Whose interests have I touched? Who have I threatened?"
He asked a lot of questions in succession.
"Li Xiaozong?"
The big dog hesitated and replied.
"Li Xiaozong does not have this ability."
Fang Jie shook his head: "It can't be You Xiaowei General Li Yuanshan. If it were him, then the first time he sent people to kill me, he wouldn't have sent out the Jingbu camp."
Questions
Too many questions.
And at this time, Li Xiaozong's general mansion in Fangu City. Li Yuanshan, who was still in casual clothes, looked at the map hanging on the wall, pointed to the location of Langru Mountain and smiled at Li Xiaozong: "Perhaps this place will become a battlefield before long. The military power of the Sui Dynasty will be Show off there. So you have to be more prepared. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to advance. After this battle, there will be peace for a few more decades after all. It can shine brightly on the battlefield.¡±
"Your Majesty has decided?"
Li Xiaozong was shocked.
Li Yuanshan shook his head: "This is the news brought to me by people in the capital through secret channels. His Majesty may use my right guard to fight this battle. He also kindly reminded me to prepare myself."
"Will Fang Jie's matter have any impact?"
Li Xiaozong couldn't help but ask.
Li Yuanshan smiled and said with relief: "This matter is no longer something we should worry about. You also know that the report of Fan Gu's victory has been handed over to His Majesty by the Ministry of War, and His Majesty has also given instructions. Wu Peisheng died in the battle. Come from the capital. Thirty-six officials were killed in the battle. Sothis matter has nothing to do with us. If your Majesty suspectswho will be the first to be unlucky?"
"It's the Ministry of War!"
Li Xiaozong nodded.
"It's not just the Ministry of War."
Li Yuanshan smiled and said: "There are also His Majesty's eyes and ears. Those people are the ones who least want the truth to be known to Your Majesty. They also took my banknotes and helped me tell lies. Once Your Majesty knows, Don¡¯t worry, they are the ones who bear the brunt of the fury and punishmenthow can a small frontier scout not die when those people take action?¡± - Didn't finish reading?
