Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 158

Although the words have reached this point, Sun Yixie still did not loosen Kang Haijiao out of caution.

He asked Lin Yuancheng to get Terashima's Japanese sword, and stained the sword with Terashima's blood, and then the two escorted Kang Haijiao together to the latter's residence.

The place where Kang Haijiao lives is no longer a crowded inn, but an inconspicuous private house on the outskirts of the city.

The room looked very shabby, except for a table for eating and a bed for sleeping, there was hardly any decent furniture.

However, it is this kind of house that is good for hiding things.

To make a long story short, Sun Yixie finally untied him until Kang Haijiao revealed the secret compartment hidden under a certain floor tile and made Sun Lin and the two confirm that there were indeed three swords hidden there.

It is said to be "three swords", but in fact it is two and a half, because Fang Jinghai's sword was cut off in the duel with Terajima, and only half of the broken sword was brought back; of course, This kind of situation has happened before, half a sword doesn't matter, because sooner or later it will be melted, as long as the part brought back is too small; as for the blood on the sword, it doesn't matter if there is more or less blood, as long as it is not too little Only a drop or two will do.

After the three of them got the sword, they turned their heads and went to the "joint point" that Ben Kang Haijiao said.

According to what Kang Haijiao said, he didn't know who the connector was or where he lived. He only knew that he would go to a ruined temple outside the city and light it in the middle of the incense burner every night from the hour of Hai to the hour of the next morning. Put on the eight thickest incense sticks, then exit the temple gate, wait for a while before going back, and the connector will be waiting for him there.

Kang Haijiao hadn't thought much about the mystery behind this joint method, but Sun Yixie immediately realized it: there are probably some organs and secret passages in this ruined temple, right?

Brother Sun was right...

There is a mechanism in the incense burner, and there is a secret passage under the Buddha statue. When the mechanism is activated, someone underneath will receive the signal.

And the "connector" is actually not one person, but a group of people.

They hang out in Dengzhou City on weekdays. On the surface, they are ordinary people, such as letter writers, vegetable sellers, pig butchers, etc., among these people, anyone can be a "connector". To put it bluntly... On a fragrant night, whoever happens to be on duty is the one.

Tonight's contact person is Old Zhao, a cloth seller in the city, so what is the name of this old Zhao?Don't ask, it's not important to ask, I don't need to mention it, and you don't need to remember it, if you ask again, you're too lazy to make it up.

In short, at the third quarter of the ugly hour, Lao Zhao, who was dozing off in the "duty room" under the temple, was awakened because the mechanism in the incense burner was pressed and touched.

After getting up, he regained his composure, quickly covered his face with a black cloth, and listened to the movement above in the dark passage, and then poked his head out.

Old Zhao waited silently in the dark for a while, and then that Kang Haijiao came in with several long and narrow wooden boxes.

"Coming." The old Zhao lowered his voice, and greeted Kang Haijiao with a voice that was different from his usual voice as much as possible. At the same time, he also lit a candle on the candlestick, giving a little light to the temple.

"Hey, here we come." Kang Haijiao responded and put the four wooden boxes on the ground.

Old Zhao glanced at the wooden box on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Counting these four, you and Terashima are responsible for sixteen, right?"

"Yes, I have finally completed the task assigned by the master." When Kang Haijiao said this, he had nothing in his hand, and his back was facing the entrance of the temple; that is to say, he was outside the temple at the moment Sun Yixie and Lin Yuancheng, who were watching in the dark, couldn't see Kang Haijiao's face.

It was at this moment that Kang Haijiao raised his right hand and gestured in front of him with a small movement.

He first raised two fingers and matched his eyes to signal that he was being followed and monitored by two people, and then he flipped his palm and made a "press down" gesture, telling the other party not to scream, but to wait.

This set of actions is not a unique connection code, but someone like Lao Zhao who specializes in lurking and intelligence work can easily guess the meaning.

Therefore, Lao Zhao immediately looked directly into Kang Haijiao's eyes and nodded slightly.

"Eh? That's right." Kang Haijiao got the response, and immediately said again, "Master...is he okay recently? Did you mention me?"

"Uh..." Old Zhao hesitated for a while, then followed the other party's words, "Yes... Yes, the master said that you have completed your task very well, and I will reward you heavily."

Kang Haijiao smirked and said: "Haha, where is it, it is my blessing to serve the 'Master Xiao', even if I am not rewarded, I am willing."

Although Lao Zhao got hints from the other party's eyes and gestures, he was a little surprised when Kang Haijiao suddenly said the three words "Master Xiao". No answer.

"Well..." Seeing that the other party did not respond, Kang Haijiao hurriedly said again, "In short, I have delivered the sword, and I will hand it over to you, brother..." At this point, Kang Haijiao used the finger hidden in front of him again Pointing to himself, and made a circle gesture, "... I will take a step first, and there will be a period later."

Kang Haijiao also understood Lao Zhao's two slaps, which meant that he would come back in a while.

"Okay..." But Lao Zhao didn't fully believe in the other party, so he didn't say much, and only replied this one word.

After that, Kang Haijiao clasped his hands together, turned around and left, and soon left the temple gate.

And Lao Zhao waited for the other party to go out, then bent down to pick up the sword boxes silently, then he walked to the candle, lightly blew it out, and hid his figure in the darkness again...

…………

"How is it? I didn't lie to you two." After a while, Kang Haijiao and Sun Lin met a few hundred meters away from the temple.

"Well, it seems that what you said is true." Sun Yixie nodded and replied, "In that case, let's see you tomorrow."

"Eh?" Kang Haijiao was stunned, "Sun Shaoxia, didn't you say that if I honestly confess and cooperate with you, you will find a way to find a way out for me? Why..."

"Nonsense, don't you need time to think about it?" Sun Yixie said confidently, "I haven't closed my eyes for almost a day and a night, you at least let me go back and think about it, anyway, even if Xiao Zhun wants to suspect that you are not here this day Half a day."

"Uh...that's right, what Sun Shaoxia said is very true." Kang Haijiao rolled his eyes and continued, "Then I...take my leave first?"

"Wait a minute." At this time, Lin Yuancheng still looked suspicious. He stopped Kang Haijiao, and immediately turned to Sun Yixie, "Brother Sun, let him go like this? What if he never comes back... "

"If you don't come back, I won't go back." Sun Yixie said easily in a confident tone, "Now he has something to ask of us, if he wants to go, let him go, it will save us trouble."

"Hmm..." Lin Yuancheng hadn't figured it out yet, but since Sun Yixie said so, he believed it, "Okay."

"Yes, Sun Shaoxia is right. Even if you drive me away, I won't leave." Kang Haijiao also hurriedly said, "Lin Shaoxia, please rest assured."

"Okay... let's go, don't need to talk too much." Lin Yuancheng didn't like villains like Kang Haijiao, and he didn't even look at him when he answered.

Kang Haijiao even laughed a couple of times: "Hehe...then...you two, see you tomorrow."

Before he finished speaking, he performed lightness kung fu and fled far away.

When he ran away, Lin Yuancheng looked at Sun Yixie and said, "Brother Sun, let's go back to the inn too."

unexpectedly……

"No." Sun Yixie suddenly narrowed his small eyes, and said thoughtfully, "This is not right."

"Oh?" Lin Yuancheng was surprised when he heard the words, "What's the matter?"

"Can't you see? Then Kang Haijiao must have played some tricks when connecting." Sun Yixie replied firmly.

Lin Yuancheng was puzzled again when he heard this sentence, he said to himself: Brother Sun, are you smart?Just now you let him go as if everything was fine, why did you change your face when he left?

"I... really feel that there seems to be something wrong, but I can't tell for a while." Lin Yuancheng thought for a while, and then replied, "Brother Sun, you said with confidence just now that it doesn't matter, so I just..."

"I just played it for Kang Haijiao, so that he can relax his vigilance and think he has fooled us." Sun Yixie sneered with one corner of his mouth tilted up, "Hmph... just now he was in the ruined temple. You also want to fool around in front of my eyes?" He paused, "Even Toer, who sells fake goods on the street, is smarter than him, and the conversation between the two of them was too stiff, a little They don't even have the ability to improvise...especially after Kang Haijiao finished the second sentence, the attitude of the connector obviously changed."

"Then in Brother Sun's opinion..." Lin Yuancheng didn't fully understand Brother Sun's words, but he didn't ask too much, and just motioned Brother Sun to continue with a puzzled face.

"I bet that Kang Haijiao just now must have secretly sent some secret signal to the other party in a blind spot that we couldn't see." Sun Yixie replied, "That guy Kang Haijiao still wants to kill us after all, after all the strength of the two of us He can’t be compared to Xiao Zhun in terms of power and power, so it’s easier to kill us if he chooses... and as long as we die, the matter of him betraying his master won’t matter.”

"Then how about..." Lin Yuancheng thought for a moment, then continued, "Let's chase him to his residence now, and we should strike first?"

"Hey~" Sun Yixie shook his head and waved his hands, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not necessary, at most he just hinted at the general situation to the other party, but he didn't say anything more specific about us, presumably he The accomplice who made the connection is also confused and dubious now...so, he will definitely come back after a while." At this point, Sun Yixie paused for a while, leaned closer to Lin Yuancheng's ear, and then Said, "I don't think it's better...the two of us rush ahead of him, go to the ruined temple first, play a trick of countermeasures, let them fight each other, and let them kill each other with a borrowed knife, wouldn't it be beautiful~"

"Oh?" Although Lin Yuancheng is not stupid, but he is not as skilled as Brother Sun in engaging in this kind of flirty routine, "I don't know what plan Brother Sun has?"

"Hey..." Hearing this, Sun Yixie smiled immediately, and immediately revealed a poisonous plan.

…………

That night, later.

In the darkness before dawn, Kang Haijiao developed his qinggong and walked lightly.

In fact, he was quite cautious, because he was afraid that he would be followed by Sun Lin and the two, so he deliberately went back to his residence first, and entered the house pretending to be.

After closing the door, he waited in the house for a while, then slipped out from the rear window, and tiptoed around the house.

After fully confirming that he was not being followed and monitored, he set off again and returned to the ruined temple.

And when he got near the ruined temple, he didn't approach in a hurry, but scouted around again, for fear that Sun Lin would stay here to ambush...

It can be said that from Kang Haijiao's point of view, he basically did everything he could do; after finishing all this, he walked into the ruined temple and put eight sticks of incense on the incense burner.

However, he never expected it...

This time he hadn't left the temple gate after lighting the incense, when suddenly six figures rushed towards him in the shadows behind the Buddha statues, on the beams, and behind the pillars of the ruined temple.

Each of these people is dressed as a "connector": dressed in black and covering their faces, but they are of different heights and shapes.

Although these six people all use swords, their martial arts methods are different; at this moment, they could not help but attack Kang Haijiao from all directions, and they all muttered: "Kill this traitor! Don't let him get away!"
