326 The Lost 2
And in a back alley in the city, Ajax, the frost-haired old hunter, walked through the sewage flowing across the ground and suspicious objects floating in the sewage.And behind him had already fallen to the ground in a mess, holding a long dagger, a short thorn and an axe, but a ragged body that couldn't afford to die.

And at the end of the back alley, the sound of fierce running had stopped abruptly; then, as the old hunter put down the lantern, a human figure with pale complexion, bright forehead, and bulging eyes appeared, his limbs climbed the wall and his eyes were full. Turning his head resentfully, he glared at Ajax.

However, several throwing knives, hollow blood grooves and handles embedded in the bones and muscles have already been nailed to this human figure; large swathes of blood are continuously flowing from his body; and slowly becoming more and more Weak; and the button-breasted coat of a fine servant was faintly visible on him.

"I just want to say one more thing," Ajax didn't go up, but shot the opponent's shoulder again with a hand crossbow, nailing him to the wall with blood spattering.Then he took out a small piece of silver-plated bloody blade tip, "Where is the original owner of this weapon?"

"Go to hell! Damn hunter, all hunters shouldn't exist in this world." The humanoid hissed loudly, opening its mouth to reveal fangs that were different from ordinary people: "Tear you into pieces, piece by piece eat the flesh and blood...ha...hahaha...."

The old hunter Ajax was suddenly startled and stepped back a few steps; he saw that several short arrows had landed silently on the muddy ground where he was standing.However, he was also forced to leave the shelter by the wall of the alleyway.

Suddenly, several fishing nets fell from the sky, covering the lane where he was.Ajax only had time to slash through one with his knife, and used his long sword to slash the other; he jumped up and threw away the third; then he dropped his knife in the air and grabbed the edge of the building, and jumped up.

Unexpectedly, the faint whistling of the wind was heard in the blind corner of his vision; he hurriedly kicked his feet against the wall and made a big roundabout, barely wiping his animal skin waistcoat, and avoided several short arrow attacks; then, Ajax saw it out of the corner of his eye, quietly The last snare that came silently.

The next moment, he had nowhere to dodge, he only had time to twist his body, and half of his hands and feet were entangled; immediately, he lost his support with the arrow in his arm pumping his muscles; he fell again in the air, and hit the ground dull Among the sewage and mud all over the ground.

At this time, a few figures appeared in the dark alleyway, each holding a single-ringed finger blade, a recurve dagger, a pickaxe, and a one-handed sickle; , more well-trained and tacit cooperation.

"You old dog, you are so impoverished, I'm afraid you can't even make up the inheritance formula of the secret medicine for hunting?" The less you have, the more you will be forgotten, so what will you use to fight against me?"

"Before, the person you were looking for turned to our patron for help because of a nightingale, so we designed a rather interesting game for him. But I didn't expect that those marks left on purpose , can you draw another one?"

The next moment, suddenly there was a fierce sound of frying beans, and those black figures entrenched on the roof suddenly screamed and fell down.And the thugs who surrounded the old hunter Ajax cautiously turned around in shock.

"That's why my help is indispensable!" Jiang Tian, ​​holding a wind lantern, also appeared on the top of the low building opposite, "According to my experience, of course, for such shady things, it is necessary to resort to any means." , use all your strength to avoid future troubles forever!"

"Sir! You..." The old hunter Ajax looked at Jiang Tian and others with a complicated face.I felt fortunate and afraid, but also felt an indescribable feeling of shame and regret.

"Old Er, you are wrong." Jiang Tian said calmly again: "They are all partners who have fought side by side, so why can't you believe that you have to act alone? Could it be that if something happens to you, we can So stay out of it, or do nothing about it?"

Before his words fell, there was a large amount of armor and sword reflections in the alleyway; almost immediately after the aftermath of the firing of firecrackers; one after another, a bunch of crossbow bolts were shot out, shooting those armed thugs down, But barely skipped Ajax lying on the ground.

"Damn it, what are you..." The leader who spoke from above shouted in shock, but he jumped up suddenly; with a jumping force far exceeding that of ordinary people, he suddenly flew towards the river on the other side; Then Jiang Tian suddenly waved his hand at him, and heard a loud bang in the air.

The leader of the thug who flew towards him with a sword was suddenly hit by a huge force on his body, and he slammed it on the opposite lower wall like a fly; at the next moment, Following the impact on the cracked wall, it collapsed and rolled into it.

A moment later, the mob leader whose half body was almost broken and his head was almost turned sixty degrees was still alive after being carried out by the searched soldiers.Even though he was spitting out blood one mouthful after another, he still wanted to yell and curse something incessantly.

"Speaking of which, I like your kind the most. You are very tenacious, and you will not die easily no matter how tortured you are." Afterwards, Jiang Tian stepped on his head, showing his pale teeth and said with a smile: "Next , please don’t disappoint me!”

When the menacing procession passed through the dimly lit streets, one pair after another was alarmed, taking the "Lifetime Nightingale" who came out to do business at night; finally came to the rich residential area in the north of the city; here the muddy ground , also becomes tidy and hard with the laying of bricks.

Even shade trees, flowerbeds, and gutters dotted the period; so that the air was less foul-smelled by crowds of hedgehogs.It's just that most of the small buildings and houses standing next to each other on the street are shrouded in darkness, and only a few of them are still lit.

Occasionally, you can meet a few night watchmen with lanterns, sticks and rapiers; seeing so many soldiers passing by, they can't help but quickly hide in the side alleys.Therefore, the team led by Jiang Tian came to a brightly lit courtyard with almost no obstacles.

The black iron-clad nailed gate of the courtyard looks quite old, and the entire porch covered with figures and flower reliefs is also shrouded in thick and overgrown flower vines; it looks quite stylish and elegant.Standing outside the door, you can vaguely hear the melodious playing music and the laughter of men and women.

Apparently, when most of the city's soldiers and civilians outside were still starving, these wealthy and prominent families still had the energy to lock them up and hold private banquets for entertainment.Just standing outside the foyer, you can hear people complaining about the lack of supplies and the inconvenience of travel.

However, when the gate was opened from the inside out by the scouts who entered over the wall; followed by a swarm of soldiers, violent means smashed open, behind the flower gate in the banquet hall of the main building; Jiang Tian surrounded by the gate, I also saw many long tables full of delicacies under the reflection of many mirror lamps and candles.

There are roasted piglets with fruits in their mouths, large roast chickens marinated in honey; large pots of panna cotta/pudding with many nuts and syrup, large steamed fish covered with spices; pies poured with cream.Immediately, the soldiers who had already had dinner couldn't help but swallow on the spot.

Most of the men at the banquet wore fat long coats and embroidered sleeveless jackets; tight trousers or lantern shorts and stockings.The women wear corsets and long lace skirts with waist and chest; there is also an old man in a black gown with white ribbons around his neck;
It's just that most of them left their seats at this time, and scattered in the empty banquet hall, chatting and laughing in groups of three or four; even in some corners and in the shadow of lamps and candles, Jiang Tian saw two couples with sharp eyes. A man and a woman who are in love with each other and... a man and a man?
The moment they were disturbed by the intruding soldiers, the women couldn't help screaming softly, pulling their skirts to their chests and dodging behind the men; finally, a short and fat man with a thick gold chain yelled loudly. He said: "Who are you, don't you know that this is Viscount Horton's other business? There is also Lord Lafon, the circuit judge, who is your chief, who dares to offend the nobles of the kingdom..."

Following his words, those men and women regained their courage and began to question one after another; moreover, servants wearing gray button-down shirts who appeared from nowhere rushed forward to block these non-rich men. That is, in front of the expensive man and woman, they clenched their fists in their chests and made a gesture of shielding them.

"That's right, it's them. In the name of the newly appointed special military judge, they brought everyone back, and none of them should be missed." However, Jiang Tian looked at the other party's clothes carefully, and nodded to confirm: "If someone If you dare to obstruct, you will be subdued or even killed on the spot."

Following an order, the fully dressed soldiers in the hall couldn't help shouting angrily and moved forward a few steps, and some people even smelled the faint smoke of gunpowder and the sound of winding; it was the musketeers and crossbowmen of the rear, Matchlock guns and military crossbows have been set up in the foyer and outside the flower windows.

Seeing this, the servants in button-up clothes suddenly collapsed, and some even rolled and crawled on the clean floor tiles, dragging out a trail of water.And those men and women also dodged inward one after another, screaming and cursing indiscriminately;
However, the old hunter had already sneaked in from the window, and under the cover of the oriental-style pillars, he went around to the rear of these feasting men and women; Beside the old man in black and white belt, the male guests who are constantly scolding.

The next moment, he suddenly screamed in public, but was caught by the end of the silver chain.But at the fingertips and the flesh of the neck where he was trying to hold the silver chain, smoke visible to the naked eye and an indescribable burnt smell came out with a sizzling sound, and his face suddenly became ferocious, with canine teeth protruding.
