Wait a minute, heroine

The frosty moonlight shone in the narrow alley between the two warehouses, and several figures were waiting patiently in the dark corner with weapons in hand.

Tang Yudan was holding a telescope, lying on the roof of the warehouse, looking at the motorcade in the distance, and whispered:

"We'll be there in a quarter of an hour at most. There are no passers-by around. Everyone is in position and the battle is quick."

After Xu Tianying and others heard this, they quietly left the secret passage and hid themselves above the cornices or in the piles of debris on both sides of the street.

King Gouchen has already said hello in advance. The warehouse is closed tonight, and the patrol personnel have been temporarily transferred. There is no trace of people on the small streets between the warehouses. Hu Yanjing will take a shortcut to pass by here later. No accident. If so, the 'entry assessment' for Cao Aning and others will be completed soon.

But unfortunately, all this is in the eyes of others.

Not far from the small street, on the roof of another warehouse.

Ye Jingtang poked his head slightly to look at the small street, his eyes showed a bit of solemnity, and he whispered:

"This group of people seems to be very skilled in martial arts. If they come to assassinate the youngest son of Prince Liang, Hu Yanjing will definitely not be able to stop them."

Master Xuanji, lying side by side in front of him, had the same view:

"These people have uniform orders and prohibitions. They don't look like Jianghu people, but more like dead soldiers trained by the imperial court. I guess they are people sent by the Northern Liang imperial court. They deliberately killed the youngest son of King Liang in Langxuan City, so that the tribes of Xihai and Liang If the kings are at odds with each other, they can still use this as an excuse to beat the heads of the tribes in the West Sea. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone..."

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly, feeling that this statement made sense.

If it were just an ordinary horse bandit who didn't have the foresight to rob Dongfang Shangqing, he wouldn't care about the life or death of Prince Liang's son at all.

But Beiliang wanted to make the Western Sea tribes and the Wei Dynasty hostile by assassinating Dongfang Shangqing. The situation was different. As the deputy commander of Heiya, he encountered the situation. If he did not destroy Beiliang's sinister plan, then It amounts to dereliction of duty.

Ye Jingtang thought about it for a while and felt that he should nip this wave of assassinations in the cradle, so he raised his hand to signal Master Xuanji to go to the right. He held the Chilong knife, leaned forward and walked along the ridge of the roof, preparing to kill this group first. Professional killer.

But as soon as Ye Jingtang touched the area, he was stunned again.

There were six killers who came here to ambush, scattered on both sides of the street, and one of them was lying on the roof of the warehouse.

Looking through the moonlight, it can be seen that the man is tall and thin, wearing night clothes, and carrying a weapon wrapped in black cloth on his back. Judging from the shape, it looks like a sword or a straight knife.

This look is very common, but the last time Ye Jingtang was in the capital, when he was hiding under the bed in the morgue with Ning'er in his arms, he encountered a man in black dressed like this. The body shape, weapons, etc. were exactly the same. It was definitely the same person.

Ye Jingtang remembered that the swordsman in black was one of King Wu's subordinates. King Wu was not brought to justice after his defeat, so he should have fled. Why did he come here to kill King Liang's son?

Ye Jingtang originally wanted to go over and assassinate him one by one, but when he saw this familiar figure, he signaled to Master Xuanji to be calm, and then silently touched the back of the black-clothed swordsman...

——

"Chirp chirp..."

The night is quiet, and you can clearly hear the chirping of insects under the corner.

Carrying a straight knife on his back, Cao Aning was like a panther waiting for his prey to appear. He was patiently crawling on the roof. He was still secretly deducing the method of fighting, such as how to act and what to say, so as to scare Dongfang Shangqing to pee and make him pee. Let the past be forgotten by Hu Yanjing, who heroically protected the Lord.

Speaking of being scary, Cao Aning couldn't help but think of the incident a few months ago in the morgue in the capital, when he was frightened by the voice of the King of Hell and froze up.

That experience was a nightmare, and he still couldn't figure out why Yama, the Night King, was hiding in the morgue and appeared behind him.

Since then, he has been suspicious every day. Even if he knew that there was nothing wrong behind his back, he would look back for comfort.

Recalling this incident, Cao Aning felt a gust of dark wind behind him, and there seemed to be a pair of eyes that were looking for his life, staring at the back of his head, and whispering "I am the police" softly in his ear, which made his spine shiver and his whole body tremble. It's goosebumps.

Cao Aning knew it was a psychological shadow, but he was not in a hurry before the convoy arrived, so he looked back, trying to dispel the uneasiness in his heart.

But when he looked, he found that there was a figure in black robe looking at him on the roof about ten feet away behind him.

The figure is holding a long knife wrapped in black cloth in his left hand. He is wearing a black robe made of Shuiyun brocade. His long hair is tied up with a black hairband. His sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes are extremely handsome. He can be described as a weapon from the Hantian Temple with heavy bones, both crazy and chivalrous, and gentle at the same time. '.

?

Seeing this unforgettable face, Cao Aning felt that she might have been under a lot of pressure from running around all this time and was hallucinating.

He raised his hand to rub his eyes and looked carefully again...

! !

a bolt from the blue!

Ye Jingtang has now entered the realm of unity between man and nature, and his strength is completely different from that of the past. He quietly touched the swordsman in black at a distance of more than ten feet behind him, thinking that it was impossible for the other party to detect any aura.

Seeing the swordsman in black suddenly turning around, Ye Jingtang was startled. He thought he had misjudged the opponent's power and subconsciously kept his distance.

So the two looked at each other for a moment.

After Cao Aning wiped his eyes, he found that the Night King of Hell had not disappeared behind him. The confusion in his eyes turned into horror. After reacting, he slapped the roof ridge fiercely, bounced up and ran towards the other side of the street.

Sa!

But at this moment, Ye Jingtang had already stepped forward, arriving first, grabbing Cao Aning's right ankle with one hand and slamming it back.

Bang!

Wow——

As soon as Cao Aning jumped out of the eaves, he suddenly stopped in the air, and then was forcibly pulled back, smashed on the roof, creating a big hole, and the broken tiles flew across and fell into the warehouse below.

As the strange movement appeared, Xu Tianying, who was hiding on the opposite side, noticed something was wrong. He stood up in the sky like a falcon attacking a rabbit, and clasped his claws directly at the back of Ye Jingtang's head.

As Lu Jieyun's direct disciple, Xu Tianying's martial arts skills should not be underestimated, but he was obviously not as good as the Night Terror Hall in terms of weight.

When Ye Jingtang heard the sound of breaking wind coming from behind, he didn't even turn his head. He turned his head sideways to avoid the sharp claw, then raised his right hand to grab Xu Tianying's arm and smashed it down into the hole.

Bang——

Cao Aning fell into the pile of goods. As soon as he bounced off the ground, he was hit hard by Xu Tianying who fell from the sky. The two fell into the shelves again.

Crash--

The rest of the miscellaneous fish noticed something strange happening on the roof, and originally wanted to rush forward to help, but found that Xu Tianying couldn't hold on even if he came face to face. He was so shocked that his liver and gallbladder were broken, and he turned around and ran in all directions without saying a word. The result was not clear before he could see it. What happened? Master Xuanji knocked him unconscious with copper coins and threw him everywhere.

After Ye Jingtang put the two of them down in an instant, he jumped down from the hole with a knife in hand and landed in the warehouse where goods were piled up.

Step~

As soon as his footsteps hit the ground, the warehouse that had just stirred up a storm fell into dead silence again.

After only one fight, Xu Tianying knew that he had encountered a powerful opponent that he could not beat. After falling to the ground, he did not fight back. Instead, he lowered his hands to maintain a posture of responding to the enemy, as if he was facing a powerful enemy and was watching the night terror hall.

Cao Aning was hit and fell, causing internal injuries. He got up from the ground with difficulty and quickly raised his hand:

"Sir, please wait!"

In order to find out the identity of these people, Ye Jingtang did not kill them. Otherwise, one encounter would result in one death and one serious injury. He stood in the warehouse holding a knife and looked at Cao Aning:

"You are really haunted."

Am I still fucking haunted? Cao Aning covered his chest and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. He whispered:

"Sir Ye, I have no intention of offending you. After the last time, I have stayed safe and avoided you. I really don't know how I bumped into you again. I used to be a secret guard in the palace, and I served the court with a lot of loyalty, and then I incited King Wu and Yan The Prince Wang's rebellion can also be considered as resolving problems for His Majesty..."

?

Ye Jingtang frowned, did not listen to these nonsense, and asked coldly:

"Who ordered you to assassinate the son of Prince Liang?"

Cao Aning thought that Ye Jingtang was secretly protecting Dongfang Shangqing, so he quickly said:

"Misunderstanding! This is either an assassination or a show. Hu Yanjing of the Black Flag Gang was suspected by Dongfang Shangqing and wanted to use a cruel trick to win Dongfang Shangqing's favor, so he asked King Zuo Xian to help arrange an assassination. After the fall of Prince Yan, I have nowhere to go, so I just want to work under King Zuo Xian to earn a living. They asked us to do something first and hand in a certificate of surrender, and then I’ll come over and play a show with them..."

"?"

Ye Jingtang felt that this person did not seem to be making things up, so he thought for a while and said:

"The buyer of the scaled steel is King Zuo Xian?"

"I don't know about this, but Hu Yanjing is secretly a member of King Zuo Xian. I have contacts with various forces. I even know the situation of the Green Bandits. Living is more useful than dying. Lord Ye just needs to let me live..."

"Do you know the details of the Green Bandit?"

Cao Aning said quickly: "I escaped from the capital ten years ago and have been traveling all over the world. I met several people in the northwest desert. They were very mysterious. I don't know the details. But after their introduction, I found out where the green bandits were. Wei's contact person, and thus contacted King Wu, and what happened next... I suspect that the Green Bandit's lair is in the northwest, I can take Lord Ye to look for it, maybe I can find it."

Ye Jingtang felt that this news was not much different from nothing. While he was thinking about it, Xuanji Zhenren jumped down from the top of the warehouse and landed in front of him.

Xuanji, who was covered in white gauze, glanced at the two of them:

"Cao Aning, Mr. Cao values ​​you very highly and raised you as his adopted son. I never thought that in just ten years, you would turn into a person who seeks fame and profit, is greedy for life and is afraid of death. If Mr. Cao sees it, I'm afraid he will be very disappointed. .”

Before the empress ascended the throne, Xuanji became the sisters' master, so she must have met Cao Aning.

Cao Aning also recognized Xuanji and said:

"My adoptive father is already very disappointed in me, but I can't help it. With a disabled body, it's a luxury to live like an ordinary person, and the palace can't accommodate me. What can I do except seek fame and fortune?"

The eunuch left the palace without any hope. Master Xuanji didn't say anything and looked at Xu Tianying next to him:

"You are Lu Jieyun's direct disciple. You have a good reputation as a chivalrous person in Yanzhou. You should not be dragged down by your master and go on a road of no return. Now I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes so that you can return to Yanzhou one day. What do you think? ?”

Xu Tianying was opposed to Lu Jieyun taking risks from the beginning, but it was only because his master was about to die that he had no choice but to follow him. Seeing Master Xuanji say this, he cupped his hands and said:

"It is hard to disobey a teacher's order. If the imperial court is willing to give Xu a chance to start a new life, Xu will definitely repay it with force."

Master Xuanji nodded slightly and continued: "Don't you have to submit a certificate to King Zuoxian? Just continue with your work. Afterwards, sneak into Prince Zuoxian's palace and help the court provide information about the Beiliang border army. Lu Jieyun participated in the assassination of Shengjia. , King Zuoxian should not doubt your identity."

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he frowned slightly:

"What should I do if they don't comply with the instructions when they go to Prince Zuoxian's Mansion?"

Master Xuanji said calmly: "Beiliang also has hidden stakes buried on our side. If we don't follow the instructions, we will deliberately leak some information and say that they are spies sent by the imperial court. Cao Aning was born as a secret guard and was defeated again. We have captured King Wu and said that he is a person specially arranged by the Holy One. Beiliang should be convinced that King Zuo Xian will make them die without us doing anything."

Zhao Aning's face turned dark when he heard this 'counterintuitive plan'. After all, if Wei really did this, with his amazing experience of defeating the two princes, no force in the world would let him live. This would eliminate all options. They were all cut off.

But Ye Jingtang felt that this method was indeed feasible, and it was better to make the best use of the material than to kill him with one knife, so he didn't say more and asked instead:

"Where is the Green Bandit's lair you mentioned?"

Cao Aning responded: "I once met him near the Cangsha River. I don't know the specific location."

"Do you know any other important news?"

"Well...a few days ago, when I was with the disciples of King Zuoxian, I heard Hu Yanjing say that there are still descendants of the Qianchi tribe who are still alive, and they are very powerful. I have never heard of this force before, and the last Rentian of the Qianchi tribe King Lang was destroyed by King Zuo Xian Li Kai, and he had a big feud with King Zuo Xian. King Zuo Xian will definitely deal with this person next. The Qinchi tribe still has some power among the tribes in the West Sea and can be used by the court. Lord Ye wants to find If so, you can go find Hu Yanjing, maybe you can find him..."

After listening, Ye Jingtang nodded without saying much. After Master Xuanji told the two of them how to deliver the information, he waved his hand and said:

"Okay, let's go do the work. It's best not to take any chances in the future. I don't know if there are any gods or immortals out there, but I'm sure there are some who have my night terrors. It won't take much effort for me to find you."

Cao Aning kept bumping into the Lord of Hell, convinced of what he said, and thought about it again:

"Prince Zuo's Mansion asked us to accompany Hu Yanjing to perform a painful trick. The convoy will arrive soon. If the matter is not completed, we will definitely not be able to enter Prince Zuo Xian's Mansion..."

Night Terror Hall beat Cao Aning to the point where he couldn't even stand, and the other four killers were also knocked unconscious. It was really difficult for Xu Tianying to deal with Hu Yanjing and a bunch of palace guards by himself. For this reason, he said very considerately:

"You leave Langxuan City immediately, and I will help you solve the matter of the bitter plot."

…

——

Gululu...

The luxurious carriage passed through the noisy market and gradually arrived near the porcelain building warehouse.

Eight palace guards were walking in front and behind the carriage. Dongfang Shangqing was sitting in the carriage, saying displeasedly:

"What a bunch of barbarians. Seeing that I am young, they started talking nonsense and asking for a price. After a long time of talking, they negotiated a family..."

Hu Yanjing was walking outside the carriage. Naturally, he had no intention of listening to this at this time. He kept looking around the warehouse with his peripheral vision, waiting for the killer to emerge from the street.

This 'assassination' was arranged with the help of Prince Zuoxian. He often came to Langxuan City and provided the location and time. However, it was not clear how Cao Aning and others should show up. The cautious appearance for this was not a lie. .

When he reached the dark side street and there was no one around, Hu Yanjing knew that the assassin was coming. In order to make Dongfang Shangqing think that he was a useful person, he reined in his horse and raised his horse without seeing any disturbance. Right hand:

"slow!"

The carriage stopped immediately, and the eight palace guards around him became cautious when they saw this, looking around.

Seeing the carriage stop, Dongfang Shangqing raised the curtain to reveal his face and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Hu Yanjing's eyes were sharp, like a battle-hardened veteran:

"The atmosphere is not right, sir, be careful..."

Boom——

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise from the wall of the warehouse on the right side of the horse.

The masonry wall first bulged and then exploded. A figure wearing an animal skin coat and a wolf-head mask burst out of the wall, like a liger rushing out of a dense forest, and flew towards the luxurious carriage:

"ah--!"

The eight guards in front and behind looked horrified when they saw this, and they wanted to rush to help, but it was too late.

Fortunately, Hu Yanjing was walking on the right side of the carriage. He was a little surprised when he saw the assassin dressed in a barbarian costume. He felt that Cao Aning was indeed reliable in his work and that he was too careful in dressing up.

Although he was filled with admiration in his heart, Hu Yanjing still had a look on his face as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He immediately stepped on his stirrups and jumped up, shouting angrily:

"presumptuous!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he punched hard with his right hand, hitting the assassin's chest and abdomen, perhaps because he was afraid of killing Cao Aning and others. Hu Yanjing's punch seemed powerful, but in fact, it was not powerful and had no secret power.

But the other party obviously didn't realize this!

Ye Jingtang got out of the warehouse and put on strange clothes, and came out to help perform the torture trick. Naturally, he had to perform it well. Because he knew Hu Yanjing's physical strength, he started with a punch, hitting Hu Yanjing's waist and abdomen in the air.

Bang——

Hu Yanjing's pupils shrank, and he just thought: "What the hell do you want to do!" His whole body was hit by a heavy punch in the chest.

"puff--"

Hu Yanjing immediately spit out a mouthful of acidic water, and then shot it diagonally towards the carriage, shattering the luxurious frame until it was nailed into the loess ground on the left side of the carriage, creating a semicircular dent.

Wow——

Bang——

Ye Jingtang landed on the carriage, wearing a wolf head mask, looking at his stupid cousin with a fierce look, and said in a ferocious tone:

"If you dare to offend me, I will skin you, the bastard of King Liang, to make a flag today..."

Talking so much nonsense naturally gave Hu Yanjing a chance to react.

Hu Yanjing was hit so hard in the chest and abdomen that he almost couldn't get up. Fortunately, his martial arts foundation was here, so he was not confused. Seeing the assassin about to commit an attack, he immediately rushed towards the carriage and bumped into the assassin with his shoulder:

"Master, be careful!"

Ye Jingtang was supposed to be knocked out and then run away, but he felt that the beating was too light and the scene was not done properly. When he saw Hu Yanjing crashing into him, he was knocked out of the carriage and landed on the street, and then he caught him with the force. He grabbed Hu Yanjing's wrist and swung it hard.

Bang——

Hu Yanjing's eyes were stunned. Before he could figure out what the other party was going to do, his whole body was smashed into the street, leaving a dent in the ground, and then:

Bang bang bang——

Ye Jingtang was like a crazy Wu maniac. He grabbed Hu Yanjing's wrist with both hands and slammed him left and right on the street. In less than three blows, Hu Yanjing was thrown to pieces. He had no chance to fight back with his real skills. .

The surrounding palace guards could not keep up with Hu Yanjing's reaction speed. They waited until Hu Yanjing was thrown two or three times before they had time to step forward to rescue Hu Yanjing.

Ye Jingtang rounded up Hu Yanjing and swept away the spear that was stabbing him. After a few attempts, he felt that Hu Yanjing could no longer hold on, so he acted like he was outnumbered, let go of his hand, flew back, and then crashed into the warehouse. Disappear into the night.

Dongfang Shangqing sat in the tattered carriage, watching him from beginning to end, and his face turned pale with fright. Only after the extremely tough assassin ran away did he dare to take a breath, and carefully walked out from under the heavy guard. Probe, looking towards the ground:

"Hu Yanjing, are you okay?"

"Ahem..."

Hu Yanjing was lying on the ground, with the knife wound under his ribs bursting open, causing his chest to be full of blood, and his hands and feet twitching twice. After scolding Cao Aning's ancestors for countless generations, he wanted to follow the plan and say: "I hope the young master is okay." But. I was really beaten and speechless...

Thank you [my summoned fist is in attack position], the leader of the boss, for the reward or2!
