Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 44 Assassination
Seeing Xin Ziqiu's assassination, Su Shi was shocked, and subconsciously threw the folding fan in his hand, and threw it at the old man, wanting to "surround Wei and save Zhao", but he threw it in vain.

The old man who sells dim sum looks harmless to humans and animals. Xin Ziqiu did not expect that he would suddenly launch a sneak attack. The key.

The blade flashed across, cut off the cloth belt hanging his left arm, and stabbed him into his left shoulder again, unable to avoid it.

"Ding……"

There was a crisp sound of gold and iron colliding, and the tip of the knife touched Xin Ziqiu's shoulder, but it couldn't penetrate.

"Your gluttonous power has successfully absorbed a stream of energy. Type: Artifact Spirit; Quality: Normal."

"You have temporarily increased your body's toughness and ability to reduce damage. Time: one hour."

It turned out that at the critical moment, Xin Ziqiu activated a wave of spiritual energy, which immediately increased his defensive power and his body was as hard as iron.

Seeing that he was actually invulnerable, the old man thought he was wearing some kind of body armor, so he couldn't help being very surprised, and the attack was slightly slowed down.

Xin Ziqiu would not let this opportunity go, he stepped out with muddy steps, slippery as a fish, and immediately arrived at the old man's side, and poked fiercely with the five fingers of his right hand on the "rugen point" under his left breast.

At this time, he was blessed with the spiritual energy of the weapon, his body was tough, his five fingers were like steel bars, and he pierced two of the old man's ribs in one fell swoop.

"Crack!"

There was a tooth-sickening sound of bones breaking, and the old man grunted, holding back the severe pain, and the sharp knife in his hand continued to slash at Xin Ziqiu's wrist.

Xin Ziqiu is now like the invulnerable superman in cartoons, ignoring the blade at all, with his right arm bent like a gun, and hitting the old man's chin.

"clang!"

"boom!"

The old man slashed at Xin Ziqiu's wrist, leaving only a light white mark.

And Xin Ziqiu hit the "Qishe Point" under the old man's neck with an elbow. This blow was so hard that it cracked his sternum. The old man kicked back two steps, spitting blood, and hit several passers-by. .

Xin Ziqiu stepped forward to attack, wanting to completely knock down the old man, and arrest him to question him.

But this old man was also very cunning, seeing that the other party was invulnerable even to his exposed skin, knowing that he was invincible, he had no desire to fight, turned over, jumped off the Hongqiao guardrail, and jumped into the Bian River.

Xin Ziqiu stomped his feet in anger and cursed.

His water skills are mediocre, and it's okay to toss with a dog planer in the swimming pool, but it's absolutely impossible for him to jump into the river.

He could only watch helplessly as the old man submerged in the Bian River and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, at a glance, he saw a strange tattoo, which was the only clue left.

This battle was so quick that it lasted only ten seconds. From the perspective of others, Xin Ziqiu had the upper hand and easily defended against the enemy, but in fact it was extremely dangerous. If it wasn't for the fact that he still had a wisp of spiritual energy by his side , I might be seriously injured here today.

Su Shi's martial arts can only hit the yellow-faced and emaciated farmer. In this situation, he can't get in at all. After throwing the folding fan, he was at a loss. By the time he reacted, the battle was over.

Seeing that Xin Ziqiu had beaten the enemy away, he asked with concern:
"Brother Ziqiu, how are you doing?"

Xin Ziqiu shrugged and said indifferently:

"I'm fine, but it's a pity that this guy ran away."

Su Zhe said:
"Let's report to the officer."

Xin Ziqiu glanced at him, and thought: He is a literati after all, what's the use of reporting this kind of thing to the officials, he didn't even remember his appearance, and wasted the time of all the knights in Kaifeng Mansion.

Besides, Xu Liang and the others are probably busy looking for the missing Yang Jinhua right now, so they don't have time to take care of themselves.

But there's no need to tell Su Che more about these things, after all, he also has good intentions.

He shook his head:

"Forget it, I'm not injured, so there's no need to trouble the officials."

Su Shi frowned and asked:
"Brother Ziqiu, is this person your enemy?"

Xin Ziqiu shook his head pretending to be relaxed, but his heart sank as if a stone had been pressed on him:

"I do not know him."

No matter who it is, they will not feel comfortable in the face of such an unpredictable assassination.

This time Xin Ziqiu escaped with the protection of his gluttonous power, but this was his last spirit energy, and the state of enhanced defense could only last for an hour.

Next time, he won't have the extraordinary power to protect his body, and if he encounters this kind of assassination again, he is likely to be injured or even die.

After all, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no one who can prevent a thief for a thousand days.

Is it Kang Wenping's accomplice, or the weird Jia Zhong, or the one who hasn't shown up yet... Xuan Ming?
He had to find out who was behind the scenes, otherwise this life would be impossible.

Although he was thinking about something in his heart, he still had a relaxed and freehand smile on his face, calling the Su family brothers to eat.

There is still an hour left for Qi Ling's energy, and he will be in a superhuman state until the end, so there is no need to use it for nothing.

He even wished that someone would assassinate him again, so that he could catch a living person and go back for interrogation.

Su Shi saw that he had just experienced such a horrific assassination, but he seemed to be fine, so he couldn't help admiring his courage.

Although he was still apprehensive, but after all, he was a young man with a nonchalant attitude, unwilling to let Xin Ziqiu underestimate him.

The three of them crossed the Hongqiao hand in hand, and found a restaurant to eat wine.

This time, nothing happened, and nothing strange happened.

……

"What's the big deal? Do you want to trouble Director Hu to show up in person?"

In the sewer of the capital, in a corner of Wuyou Cave, Situ Kong, the leader of Xiaoyao Building, made a cup of tea with a smile, and handed it to an old man with white beard and hair.

"Situ, I heard that you kidnapped Yang Jinhua from Tianbo Mansion in Xiaoyao Building? Your stall is getting bigger and bigger."

asked the old man, scratching the cup absently a few times with the lid.

Situ Kong said with a smile:

"Boss Hu was joking. It was actually a misunderstanding. We didn't intend to tie up the girl of the Yang family, but she and that Yang Paifeng found out when the people below were doing business. The original plan couldn't be implemented, so we had to go out This is the next policy."

The old man known as "Boss Hu" took a sip of tea, then raised his head, staring at Situ Kong's face, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were shining brightly:
"Did you stop talking? Now the city is full of wind and rain, Tianbo Mansion, Dali Temple, and Kaifeng Mansion are all looking for her."

Situ Kong laughed and said:
"No, we handed her over to a buyer. I don't know what this person does. We have bought several martial arts masters from us, and they were all killed, and the bodies were thrown in the wild. But this buyer does things. It's clean and will never implicate us."

Manager Hu snorted coldly:
"Well, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't bother to ask more. But there will be big things happening in the capital soon, and you Xiaoyaolou better restrain yourself, and don't make the city full of storms, scare the snakes, and hinder others from doing things."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, Manager Hu. We have always kept a low profile. This negligence is purely accidental. I have severely punished the people below."

Mr. Hu's frown was slightly relaxed, and he said:
"I came here this time to ask you to help arrange a place in Wuyou Cave to hide some people, about 20 or so, to be absolutely safe."

Without any hesitation, Situ Kong patted his chest and said:

"Is this trivial matter worth Mr. Hu's trip? I dare not say anything else. This Wuyou Cave extends in all directions, and there are no traces of 80 people hiding there, let alone more than 20 people."

"That's good. They will contact you soon. It must be done, and their requirements must be met as much as possible, understand?"

"I understand, please give me a name, Mr. Hu, so I can arrange it."

The old man took out a piece of paper from his pocket with three names written on it, handed it over and said:

"You can only contact the three people above. You have to handle this matter yourself, you can't pretend to be someone else, and you must keep it absolutely confidential."

Situ Kong glanced at it, and saw a name written on the first line above: Hangu Jian, Ding Ping...

……

After the meeting with the Su family brothers, Xin Ziqiu's defense enhancement status has long since disappeared, and he has become an ordinary person again.

He didn't dare to stay on the street for a long time, so he went straight back to Jia's mansion.

At the gate, Jia Zhong was sitting on the teacher's chair, half-closed his eyes, waving his fan leisurely, and when he saw Xin Ziqiu coming back, he smiled and nodded to him.

Xin Ziqiu cupped his fists at him, without saying anything, walked across the courtyard and returned to his room, and lay down with all his clothes on.

Seeing him coming back, Mei Guan obediently brought tea and put it on the small table beside his bed. He sat beside him again, peeled and sliced ​​fresh pears with a knife, and fed them to him.

Seeing this posture, Xin Ziqiu was a little embarrassed. He was not Jia Baoyu, and he was not in the habit of letting girls serve him.

But when he raised his head and was about to refuse, he was stunned.

At this time, the sky was getting late, the setting sun was slanting, and the crimson afterglow came in from the window lattice, sprinkled on Mei Guan's body, reflecting her cheeks like fire, her face like a peach blossom, with three points of softness, three points of shyness, very charming. Charming.

Xin Ziqiu had never been in a relationship, and he hadn't even talked to girls much. At this moment, he was face to face with Mei Guan, and his eyes met. said:

"Well...Mei...Sister Mei, you don't...no...don't be so polite."

Seeing his embarrassment, Mei Guan couldn't help smiling, put the pear in his hand on the plate, got up and poured another cup of tea, and handed it to him:

"Why do you need to be so cautious, Mr. Xiaolang, drink a glass of water."

Xin Ziqiu smelled the fragrance of the tea, took it and drank it down, only feeling sweet and delicious, most of the embarrassment was gone, and he said with a smile:

"Sister Meiguan, what kind of tea is this...tea..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt itchy and swollen on the tip of his tongue, and he couldn't speak.

Followed by dizziness, his eyes went black.

He yelled badly in his heart, but it was too late.

"Pfft!"

Xin Ziqiu fell headlong to the ground, not knowing anything about his personnel.
