Dragon Pattern Roll Set

As Bai Yutang bowed, the surrounding air was filled with cold air... Suddenly, a thin layer of mist spread in the night...

Almost at the same time, thirty archers from the two sides who were ambushing at the front and back drew their bowstrings at the same time.

The moment they let go of the bowstring, Fifth Master grasped the handle of the knife.

However, to everyone's surprise, Bai Yutang did not respond to the call and drew the saber, but pushed down the handle of the saber, and at the same time as the opponent's bowstring left his hand, he rushed forward...

The invisible arrows showed a clear trajectory in the mist, and the random arrows came towards him. Fifth Master bowed and ran forward quickly while avoiding the invisible arrows that were clearly visible in the mist.

The people who were shooting arrows at Bai Yutang seemed to be taken aback for a moment, because Bai Yutang had completely given up behind him... how would he dodge the arrows shot from behind?

However, the arrow shot from behind Bai Yutang...or to be more precise, the arrow-shaped internal force didn't hurt Bai Yutang at all, they were all blocked!It was as if they had hit some kind of barrier, just behind Bai Yutang, an invisible person seemed to have blocked all those arrows.

Almost at the same speed as the arrow behind him traveled a hundred feet. Before the attacker in front shot the second arrow, Bai Yutang had already arrived. The archer immediately backed away, as if preparing to disperse the attack. While bowing the string, I could already hear the sound of Yun Zhong's knife being unsheathed.

……

Zhan Zhao stepped on the roof of Kaifeng Mansion and stepped out of the gate. He felt the familiar chill from the wind. At the same time as he recognized the direction was North Street, Zhan Zhao had already arrived at the north side and was running forward on the roof. He hadn’t seen the crowd yet. Already heard the crisp sound of "cutting melons and vegetables", this is the sound of a knife cutting through flesh and blood, accompanied by the wind of the knife, there is a smell of blood in the sound.

Zhan Zhao jumped out... and saw in front of him, Bai Yutang was cutting down an assassin in front of him with a single knife, and then turned around, the long knife in the cloud drew a cold arc in the air, and the last assassin fell on his back .

Bai Yutang flicked the knife, turned around... and looked at the other half of the killers who were blocked by Shark behind him.

However, the cold look in his eyes eased the moment he turned his head, because a red figure had jumped down from the opposite roof.

Shark was originally behind Bai Yutang, blocking the double shots of those archers, but Zhan Zhao appeared behind those dozen archers.

Zhan Zhao whistled when he landed.

Those archers turned their heads abruptly, Zhan Zhao squinted at the bows without crossbow arrows in their hands, and raised his eyebrows, "Oh? If you can't shoot meteor arrows, so many people come together, that's okay?"

Those archers raised their bows at Zhan Zhao together. It seemed that Shark was controlled by Bai Yutang in the distance, and was about to slap the cold ice to let Zhan Zhao see the trajectory of the arrow, but Zhan Zhao drew his sword, He just said, "No need..."

As soon as the words fell, Zhan Zhao had disappeared.

As Yin Hou said, with Zhan Zhao's speed, the process of grabbing the bowstring and releasing the arrow is really too slow, enough for Zhan Zhao to get behind everyone and kick them to the ground one by one.

While kicking people, Zhan Zhao received the opponent's bows. After collecting sixteen bows, those archers were beaten and trampled on their faces. They fell on their backs and finally got acupuncture points.

After Zhan Zhao finished cleaning up the people, the shadow guards and the Imperial City Army also fell down and came down to arrest people.

Bai Yutang was not as merciful as Zhan Zhao, everyone was stabbed, but Fifth Master was merciful, each knife was far away from the fatal part, so he saved his life, but the pain was not less.

Gongsun was also brought here, and when he saw the knife wounds all over the floor, he curled his lips, "It's too wasteful to use such golden sore medicine, you can use mud to cover it."

The shadow guards picked up all the archers, and prepared to tie them up and take them back to Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhan Zhao looked at the returned bows with some puzzlement, and as expected, there were three and half Amitabha marks on each bow.

"It's the weapon of Cheng Bang's military emblem again." Gongsun frowned, "Before attacking Yaoyao, now directly attacking Bai Yutang, what's the purpose?"

Zhan Zhao looked at the tied archers, "They're all trash."

Zhe Ying pushed an archer over and asked him who instructed him.

The archer looked a little dull and didn't speak. By the moonlight, Zhan Zhao could see the pupils of the assassin's eyes gradually getting bigger...

"Oops!" Gongsun shouted before Zhan Zhao could speak.

But when Gongsun finished speaking, those assassins had already fallen headlong.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "I tapped their acupoints, how did they die?"

Gongsun inspected the corpse and said, "There is poison under the tongue. It seems that the assassination is successful and the only way to survive is to go back. If you are caught, you can only die."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "So vicious?"

"Is there poison under the tongue?" Bai Yutang asked, "Can you talk then?"

"Probably not, because of the poison, their tongues are paralyzed." Gongsun shook his head.

Bai Yutang froze for a moment, then frowned, "Could it be that there was someone secretly just now?"

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, looked at Bai Yutang, "What do you mean?"

"Someone said just now, 'Let's attack you first', because the voice came from the front, and they all covered their mouths, I thought it was one of them who said it." Bai Yutang frowned, "It's the same as last time Same, the one who can hide his inner strength and act silently."

While talking, Zou Liang came over with his troops, followed by Lin Yehuo who came to join in the fun.

"Wow, who of you killed so many people?" Lin Yehuo gritted his teeth as he looked at the corpses all over the place.

Zou Liang went to check the corpse, and Zhan Zhao wanted to take everyone back.

"Wait a minute." Zou Liang suddenly waved his hands to everyone. He saw that one of the dead assassins was cut by Bai Yutang just now, so the front of his chest was torn.Bai Yutang's knife was extremely fast, and after being chopped, the wound was thin, and there was basically no scene of skin being ripped apart.Therefore, a large area of ​​skin on the chest can be clearly seen... What caught Zou Liang's attention was that the dead assassin had a tattoo on the left chest, facing the heart, which was the image of the three-headed Jintuo...but it was slightly different Yes, there are two arrows stuck in the neck of this three-headed Jintuo.

Zhan Zhao and the others looked at the tattoo around the corpse, a little puzzled—what kind of sign is this?

Zou Liang asked his subordinates to check the other corpses, and sure enough, each corpse had such a tattoo.

Gongsun squatted down and checked those tattoos, "Huh?"

"What's the problem?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Gongsun suddenly found it very interesting, and said, "These tattoos are new."

"New?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

"It's been tattooed for no more than three days!" Gongsun said with certainty, "Some of the wounds have just scabbed over."

"Deliberately tattooed?" Bai Yutang felt strange, "Why?"

"It's also to stimulate that sick bag."

Everyone raised their heads when they heard the voice, and saw Yin Hou coming at some time, standing behind Zhan Zhao, looking at the corpse on the ground.

"What does it have to do with Uncle Xiaofu?" Zhan Zhao was nervous.

Yin Hou frowned, "We'll talk about it when we go back." After speaking, he turned and left.

Zhan Zhao and the others hurried back to Kaifeng, entered the door, followed Yin Hou into the room without making any other stops.

Tianzun was about to go to sleep, he yawned and watched Yin Hou aggressively leading someone in, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Yin Hou took the pen and paper on the table, drew a pattern, and showed it to everyone.

The structure of the pattern is similar to the tattoos on the chests of those assassins just now, the difference is that the pattern is a lotus with two crossed arrows on it.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Sick Bao used to have a team of people who died in battle for a mission. When they were buried, they were found to have this tattoo on their chests, and they all had wills on their bodies." Yin Hou shook his head.

Tianzun seemed to remember, "Oh... I seem to remember that the first time Sick Bag went crazy was because he saw those corpses, right?"

"Crazy?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Who is the murderer this time?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "So he is so familiar with things related to Uncle Xiao Huo, as well as the war from that year?"

"Could it be some kind of enemy or rival?" Bai Yutang asked Yin Hou.

Yin Hou folded his arms and frowned.

While chatting, I heard Jiu Niang deliberately raised her voice from the next door, "What are you doing up? Didn't I tell you to sleep!"

Wu Yifu's voice came, "Did Zhao and the others come back? Has the case progressed?"

"You don't care what progress is made or not, you are not an official, go into the room and sleep!" Jiuniang drove Wu Yifu back to the room.

Zhan Zhao opened the door and told Wu Yifu that he had found a clue, but it was too late, they were all going to bed, let's talk about it tomorrow morning.

Wu Yifu frowned and looked at Yinhou.

Everyone also felt that it was necessary to tell Wu Yifu about the matter, because others were obviously targeting him, but if they really said it, they would feel like they had been tricked by the other party. , What should I do if the condition worsens?

At this time, Yaoyao's cry suddenly came from the third floor of Miaomiao Building.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly... The beam where Yaoyao slept was on the third floor, and there were windows, so he could see the outside world.But Yaoyao usually doesn't cry when she sleeps at night, did she get hurt today?

Everyone subconsciously looked up at the glazed windows on the third floor of Miaomiao Building.

Bai Yutang took a look, frowned, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Are the lights on on the third floor?"

Zhan Zhao also saw that there seemed to be a spot of light beating on the glazed window, but there was no light in the building at all...

Thinking of this, Bai Yutang suddenly turned his head, and saw the flames in the direction of Xishan.

"What's on fire?" Zhao Pu faintly felt that the direction was not right.

After Zhan Zhao jumped up to the second floor and saw clearly the location of the fire, his heart felt cold.

Bai Yutang also saw it—it was Ge Yuan's mansion, and what was burning was the Feihong bridge and the flower terrace full of epiphyllum in the courtyard of Ge Yuan's mansion.

……

At this time, Ouyang Shaozheng was hugging the dozing youngest son, Long Qiaoguang was holding the bow, and leading the drowsy little Liangzi, as they came out of the shooting range, they heard the sound of gongs in the distance, and someone shouted, "It's on fire! Ge Mansion is on fire!"

"Ge's mansion?" Huo Qilin was stunned, and suddenly remembered—Ge Qing's grandfather's house?

Long Qiaoguang went up to the roof and took a look, then hurriedly ran in the direction of Ge Mansion, Ouyang carried Xiaosi and Xiaoliangzi and chased after him, halfway there, he met Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang and the others who rushed over.

Ouyang was still wondering, "What's going on?"

……

In front of the gate of Ge Mansion, the soldiers, horses and water dragons from the imperial city who had just arrived gathered, but the strange thing is... the house of Ge Mansion did not catch fire, what burned was the garden inside the house.

When everyone ran in, they saw a mess in the garden, and all the servants of the Ge Mansion were scooping up water to fight the fire, but the wooden bridge was extremely flammable, and it seemed that someone had poured kerosene or something, and even the water was on fire , Those lotus flowers and white epiphyllum were turned into ashes in the raging flames, which made people feel sad.

Ge Qing clung to old man Ge Yuan who was going to put out the fire, while Grandma Ge was crying hard.

The maids usually watched the old lady take care of the flower bed and these flowers carefully, and they all felt distressed and cried together with the old lady.

Ge Qing stomped his feet anxiously, telling the maids to stop crying. It's good for his grandparents not to be too sad when they get older.

It was even more chaotic outside, Ge Qing's father and several uncles came with people, and they were relieved to see that the old man was fine, and asked what was going on.

At this time, a gust of cold wind passed... Tianzun fell aside, a thin layer of frost formed on the ground, the water was also frozen, and the flames were quickly extinguished.

But looking at the bridge again, it has been charred black, leaving only a scorched frame.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao found the remaining arrows on the bridge.

Long Qiaoguang took a look and said, "It seems that someone shot the bridge with a rocket with a kerosene bag hanging on it, and deliberately set it on fire."

The boys who were the first to notice the fire nodded, saying that they saw an arrow falling on the bridge, then heard the sound of an explosion, and then caught fire instantly.

The relatives of Ge's family sent the overwhelmed elders back to the room to rest. Ge Qing's face turned blue, and he came over and asked Zhan Zhao, "Do you know who did it?"

Zhan Zhao doesn't know what to say, but this small building means a lot to Uncle Xiaohuo...

"If I find out who did it, I won't be able to spare him!" Ge Qing was angry.

Standing on the roof, Long Qiaoguang looked at the Feihong Bridge flower terrace that was almost rotten, and suddenly noticed a figure not far away.

General Right looked over and saw Wu Yifu standing on a taller tree beside him.The mottled tree shadows blocked the moonlight, and Long Qiaoguang could see that Wu Yifu was looking in the direction of the courtyard in Ge Yuan's mansion, which should be the burnt flower bed, but he couldn't really see the expression on his face at this moment.

At this moment, a "crash" sound was heard... The whole flower platform collapsed, and the scorched wood fell into the pool.

Zhan Zhao looked at the flower terrace that was instantly razed to the ground, feeling inexplicably sad.

Bai Yutang patted him lightly on the shoulder. In fact, Master Wu also felt sad. No matter how memorable this flower stand is to Wu Yifu and the others, it is just the ingenious construction technology and the careful cultivation of flowers over the years. , It's such a pity that it was burned like this.

Although Lin Yehuo usually stayed in Kaifeng to help investigate the case, he seldom paid attention to the case. Seeing the mess, Huofeng couldn't help feeling angry, "It's too much!"

On the roof, Long Qiaoguang turned his head to look at Wu Yifu again, but saw that the tree was empty and there was no one there.

Master Guang scratched his head, and couldn't help muttering - who made trouble for his idol? !
