wait a minute

Chapter 279 Is this a coincidence?

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

Holding a binoculars in hand, Tang Yudan lay on the roof of the warehouse, staring at the convoy in the distance, and said in a low voice:
"It will take a quarter of an hour at most. There are no passers-by around, and everyone will be in their place, and the battle will be settled quickly."

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

King Gouchen has already called in advance, the warehouse is closed tonight, and the patrol personnel have been dispatched temporarily. There is no one on the small street between the warehouses; and Hu Yanjing will take a special shortcut to pass here, no accidents. If so, the 'entry assessment' of Cao Aning and others will be completed soon.

But unfortunately, all this fell into the eyes of others.

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

Ye Jingtang turned his head slightly to look at the small street, his eyes showed a bit of seriousness, and said in a low voice:
"The martial arts of this group of people do not seem to be low. If they came here to assassinate the youngest son of King Liang, Hu Yanjing would definitely not be able to stop them."

The real Xuanji lay side by side in front of her, and she also had the same opinion:

"These people's orders and prohibitions are uniform. They don't look like people from the Jianghu, but more like dead soldiers trained by the court. I guess they are people from the Northern Liang court. The king turned evil, and he can use this excuse to beat the tribes of the West Sea, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone..."

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

If it's just that ordinary horse bandits don't have eyes to rob Dongfang Shangqing's way, he won't care about the life and death of King Liang's son at all.

However, Beiliang wanted to assassinate Dongfang Shangqing to make the tribes of the West Sea hostile to the Great Wei. Then the situation would be different. tantamount to dereliction of duty.

Ye Jingtang pondered for a while, and felt that this wave of assassinations should be strangled in the cradle, so he raised his hand to signal Master Xuanji to go to the right, while he held the Chilong Saber, leaned forward and walked along the roof, ready to finish off the team first. professional killer.

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

There were six killers who came here to ambush, scattered on both sides of the small 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, dressed in night clothes, with a weapon wrapped in black cloth on his back, which looks like a sword or a straight knife in shape.

This dress is very common, but the last time Ye Jingtang was in the capital, holding Ning'er and hiding under the bed in the morgue, he met a man in black dressed like this, his body shape, weapons, etc. were exactly the same, it was definitely the same person.

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

Ye Jingtang originally wanted to touch the swordsman in black to assassinate them one by one, but when he saw this familiar figure, he signaled Master Xuanji not to be impatient, and then silently groped behind the black-clothed swordsman...
-
"Hawhaw..."

The night was silent, and the chirping of insects under the corner of the wall could be clearly heard.

Cao Aning was carrying a straight knife, like a black panther waiting for the prey to appear, patiently crawling on the roof, still secretly deducing the fighting method in his mind, such as how to do it and what to say, so as to scare Dongfang Shangqing into the urine, so that other Don't blame Hu Yanjing for his heroic protection of the lord.

Speaking of scary, Cao Aning couldn't help but think of the event in the morgue in the capital a few months ago, when he was frightened by Ye Dayan's voice and froze.

That experience was called a nightmare, and he has never figured out why Ye Da Hades hid in the morgue and appeared behind him.

Since then, he has been suspicious every day, even if he knows that there is nothing wrong behind it, he has to look back for comfort.

Recalling this incident, Cao Aning felt the wind blowing behind him again, as if a pair of haunting eyes were staring at the back of his head, whispering "I am a policeman" in his ear, so that his back felt chills all over his body. It's goosebumps.

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

But when he looked at him, he found that there was a figure in a black robe looking at him on the roof more than Zhang 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 water cloud brocade. His long hair is tied up with a black headband. His sword eyebrows and star eyes are extremely handsome. '.

?

Seeing this unforgettable face, Cao Aning felt that the pressure of running around during this time might indeed be a bit high, and she was hallucinating.

He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully again...

! !
a bolt from the blue!

Ye Jingtang has now stepped into the realm of the unity of man and nature, and his strength is different from that of the past. He quietly touched the black-clothed swordsman at a distance of more than ten feet, thinking that the other party would not be able to detect any aura.

Seeing the swordsman in black suddenly turn around, Ye Jingtang was taken aback, thinking that 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 Ye Dayan behind him had not disappeared, and the doubt in his eyes turned into horror. After he realized it, he slapped the roof and jumped up and ran towards the other side of the side street.

Sa!
But it was also at this moment that Ye Jingtang had already stepped forward, and the latter came first. He directly grabbed Cao Aning's right ankle with one hand, and slammed it backwards.

Bang!
wow-

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

But as the abnormal movement appeared, Xu Tianying, who was hiding on the opposite side, sensed that something was wrong, soaring up into the sky like a falcon pouncing a rabbit, he clawed directly at the back of Ye Jingtang's head.

As Lu Jieyun's direct disciple, Xu Tianying's martial arts should not be underestimated, but he is obviously not as important as Ye Jingtang.

When Ye Jingtang heard the sound of breaking wind coming from behind, he didn't even look back, 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, and just as he bounced off the ground, he was smashed hard by Xu Tianying who fell from the sky, and the two of them fell between the shelves again.

slam-la-

As for the rest of the miscellaneous fishes, when they noticed that the roof was moving, they wanted to rush forward to help them, but they found that Xu Tianying didn't hold up even a single face-to-face. The shock was that their liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and they turned around and ran in all directions without saying a word, but they didn't see it clearly. What happened, he was stunned by real Xuanji with copper coins in the air and fell everywhere.

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

step~
As soon as the footsteps landed, the warehouse that had just caused a storm fell into dead silence again.

Xu Tianying knew that he had encountered a tyrannical opponent who was absolutely unbeatable after just one fight. After falling to the ground, he didn't fight back.

Cao Aning fell and smashed, and suffered internal injuries directly. He struggled to get up from the ground, and quickly raised his hand:
"Sir, wait a minute!"

In order to find out the identities of these people, Ye Jingtang did not use killers, otherwise one would die and the other would be seriously injured if they met each other.He stood in the warehouse with a knife in his hand, looking at Cao Aning:
"You really linger."

I'm fucking haunted?Cao Aning clutched his chest, almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, he whispered:

"Master Ye, I don't intend to offend you. After the last time, I have kept myself safe and hid from my lord. I don't know how I ran into my lord again. I used to be a secret guard in the imperial court. Prince Wang's rebellion is considered to be a solution to the Holy One..."

?

Ye Jingtang frowned, didn't listen to these nonsense, and asked in a cold voice:
"Who ordered you to assassinate the son of King Liang?"

Cao Aning thought that Ye Jingtang was secretly protecting Dongfang Shangqing, so he hurriedly said:
"Misunderstanding! This is not an assassination, it's a play on the spot. Hu Yanjing of the Black Flag Gang was suspected by Dongfang Shangqing, and wanted to come up with a trick to win Dongfang Shangqing's favor, so he asked Zuo Xianwang to help arrange an assassination. After the fall of Prince Yan, I have nowhere to go, so I want to go to Zuo Xianwang's subordinates to make a living, they asked us to do something first and submit a certificate of approval, and then I will come to accompany you to play a play..."

"?"

Ye Jingtang felt that this person did not appear to be a fabrication, so he thought for a while and said:

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

"I don't know about this, but Hu Yanjing is secretly a member of Zuo Xianwang. I have contacts with various forces, and I even know the situation of the green bandits. It is more useful to be alive than dead. Master Ye just let me live..."

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

Cao Aning hurriedly said: "I escaped from the capital ten years ago and have been traveling all over the world. I met a few people in the desert in the northwest. They were very mysterious. I don't know the details, but after their recommendation, I found the green bandit in the desert. Wei's connector, thus contacting King Wu, to accomplish the later things... I suspect that the lair of the green bandits is in the northwest, I can take Master Ye to look for it, maybe I can find it."

Ye Jingtang felt that there was little difference between this news and nothing, and while he was thinking about it, Xuanji jumped down from the warehouse and landed in front of him.

The real person Xuanji covered her face with a white gauze, and glanced at the two of them:
"Cao Aning, Mr. Cao thinks highly of you. He raised you as a foster son. He never imagined that in just ten years, you will become a person who seeks fame and wealth, covets life and fears death. If Mr. Cao sees it, he will be very disappointed. .”

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

Cao Aning also recognized the real Xuanji, and said:

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

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

"You are Lu Jieyun's direct disciple. You are quite famous in Yanzhou. You shouldn't be dragged down by your master. 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 want? ?”

Xu Tianying opposed Lu Jieyun's reckless risk from the very beginning, but he had no choice but to follow after his master died soon. Seeing Master Xuanji say this, he cupped his hands and said:
"A teacher's order is hard to disobey. If the court is willing to give Xu a chance to be a new man, Xu will definitely repay it with strength."

Master Xuanji nodded slightly, and continued: "Aren't you going to submit a certificate to King Zuo Xian, just continue to work, and then sneak into King Zuo Xian's mansion to help the court provide information on the Beiliang frontier army. Lu Jieyun participated in the assassination of the holy car , King Zuo Xian should not doubt your identity."

Hearing this, Ye Jingtang frowned slightly:

"What will they do if they go to Zuo Xian's mansion?"

Master Xuanji said flatly: "Beiliang also has hidden piles buried on our side. If we don't follow suit, 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 brought down They told King Wu that he was specially arranged by the sage, and Bei Liang should be convinced that if we don't need to do anything then, King Zuo Xian will let them beg for death."

Cao Aning's face turned dark when he heard this 'anti-indirect plan'. After all, if Dawei really did this, with his amazing experience of bringing down the two princes, no force in the world would let him live. They were all cut off.

But Ye Jingtang felt that this method is indeed feasible, and it is better to make the best use of everything than to kill with a knife, so he didn't say much, and asked instead:

"Where is the lair of the green bandits you mentioned?"

Cao Aning responded: "I don't know the exact location where I met near the Cangsha River."

"Do you know any other important news?"

"Well... a few days ago, I heard Hu Yanjing say that there are still descendants of the Qinchi Department at the door of Zuo Xianwang's disciples, and they are very powerful. I have never heard of this force before. The last day of the Qinchi Department King Lang was destroyed by King Zuo Xian, Li Qie, and he had a great enmity with King Zuo Xian. King Zuo Xian will definitely deal with this person next time. The Qin Chi tribe still has some prestige among the tribes in the West Sea, and it can be used by the court. Lord Ye wants to find him If so, you can go to Hu Yanjing, maybe you can find..."

After Ye Jingtang listened, he nodded and didn't say much. After Master Xuanji told the two of them the way to transmit the information, he waved his hands and said:

"Okay, let's go to work. It's best not to take chances in the future. I don't know if there are any gods in the sky, but I must be there. It won't take me much effort to find you."

Cao Aning bumped into Lord Yan continuously, convinced of these words, thought about it and said:

"Prince Zuo's mansion asked us to play tricks with Hu Yanjing. The convoy will arrive soon. If the matter doesn't work out, we will definitely not be able to enter Prince Zuoxian's mansion..."

Ye Jingtang made Cao Aning unable to stand still, and the other four killers were also knocked out. Xu Tianying alone is really difficult to deal with Hu Yanjing and a bunch of palace guards. For this reason, he said very considerately:

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

……
-
Gollum...

The luxury carriage passed through the noisy market and gradually came to the vicinity of the porcelain building warehouse.

Eight palace guards walked in front of and behind the carriage, and Dongfang Shangqing was sitting in the carriage, talking displeasedly:

"What a bunch of savages. Seeing that my son is young, he talked nonsense and asked for a price. After a long time of talking, he negotiated a family..."

Hu Yanjing was walking outside the carriage, naturally he was not in the mood to listen to these things at this time, he kept looking around the warehouse from the corner of his eye, waiting for the killer to emerge from the street.

This "assassination" was arranged with the help of Prince Zuoxian's mansion. He often comes to Langxuan City and provided the location and time, but it is really unclear how Cao Aning and others should appear, so the cautious appearance is not a fake .

When he walked near the dark street and there was no one around, Hu Yanjing knew that the assassin was coming, so in order to let Dongfang Shangqing think that he was a useful person, he reined in his horse and lifted it up without seeing any signs of trouble. right hand:

"slow!"

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

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

"what happened?"

Hu Yanjing's eyes are sharp, like a battle-tested veteran:

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

boom -

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud noise from the wall of the warehouse on the right side of the horse.

The masonry wall first swelled and then exploded. A figure in a fur coat and a wolf-head mask crashed out of the wall, like a liger rushing out of a dense forest, and flew towards the luxurious carriage:
"ah--!"

Seeing this, the eight guards looked shocked and wanted to rush to help but it was too late.

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

Although he was admiring in his heart, Hu Yanjing still looked as if he was facing a big enemy, and immediately stepped on the stirrups and jumped up, shouting angrily:

"presumptuous!"

After saying that, his right hand was a heavy punch, directly hitting the assassin's chest and abdomen, perhaps because he was afraid of killing Cao Aning and others. Hu Yanjing's punch seemed fierce, but it was useless and not very powerful.

But the other party obviously didn't realize this!
Ye Jingtang turned over from the warehouse and put on a fancy dress, and came out to help play tricks. Naturally, he wanted to perform well, because he knew Hu Yanjing's physical strength, so he punched Hu Yanjing's waist in the air.

bang——

Hu Yanjing's pupils shrank, and a sentence just came out of his mind: "What the hell do you want to do!" His whole body was already punched in the chest.

"puff--"

Hu Yanjing immediately sprayed out a mouthful of acid water, and then shot at the carriage obliquely, smashing the luxury 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 fiercely at his stupid cousin, and said in a ferocious tone:
"Dare to offend me, I insist on peeling off the skin of you, the king of Liang, to make a flag today..."

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

Hu Yanjing's chest and abdomen were overwhelmed by a heavy punch, and he almost didn't get up. Fortunately, his martial arts foundation is here, so he wouldn't be stunned. Seeing that the assassin was about to commit murder, he immediately flew towards the carriage and shouldered the assassin:
"My lord, be careful!"

Ye Jingtang logically said that he should be knocked out and run away, but he felt that the beating was too light and the play was not in place. Seeing Hu Yanjing hit him, he was knocked out of the carriage and landed on the street, and then seized the opportunity He grabbed Hu Yanjing's wrist and shook it hard.

bang——

Hu Yanjing's eyes were astonished. Before he knew what the other party was going to do, he was thrown to the street, leaving a dent on the ground, and then:

bang bang bang-

Ye Jingtang is like a crazy Wu madman, grabbing Hu Yanjing's wrist with both hands, and slamming left and right on the street. Within three times, Hu Yanjing was thrown to the ground. If he wanted to fight back with his real skills, he would have no chance .

The guards of the surrounding palace couldn't keep up with Hu Yanjing's reaction speed at all, and they didn't have time to step forward to rescue Hu Yanjing until Hu Yanjing was thrown two or three times.

Ye Jingtang rounded Hu Yanjing, swept away the thrusting spear, and after fighting for a few times, felt that Hu Yanjing was about to lose it, so he pretended to be outnumbered, let go of his hand, flew back, and then crashed into the warehouse and disappeared In the darkness.

Dongfang Shangqing was sitting in the dilapidated carriage, watching from the beginning to the end, his face turned pale with fright, and only dared to take a breath when the extremely tough assassin ran away, and carefully escaped from the heavy surroundings of the guards Probe, look to the ground:
"Hu Yanjing, are you okay?"

"Cough cough..."

Hu Yanjing was lying on the ground, the knife wound under his ribs burst, his chest was full of blood, his hands and feet twitched twice, and after scolding Cao Aning's ancestors for many generations, he wanted to say something according to the plan: "Young master is fine." But I was so beaten that I couldn't speak...
