Chapter 428 Someone offers money to buy your life
"drive--"
Under the spring sun, three fast horses galloped out of Huangmei County and galloped upstream along the river.
Ye Jingtang took the lead, holding the map Zhang Gang bought to check the distribution of forces around Chengtian Mansion, while Niaoniao squatted on his legs and looked at it together.
Zhe Yunli followed behind, with his long knife hanging on the side of his horse, and said in a daze:
"Cousin Jing, where are we going? We are in such a hurry, we should leave as soon as we come out..."
"I'm going to Baihe Pier. I just picked up an errand. I went to clean up someone. I have to come back after the fight. I want to find a way to sneak into the Qinglong Club..."
When Zhe Yunli heard about the beating, he immediately became interested and moved closer:
"Who are you going to hit? Is it strong? How about I come and we split the reward in half?'
Ye Jingtang is currently among the top ten in the world. Going to fight an ordinary master is no less than bullying a three-year-old child. If word spreads, he will lose his status. Faced with Yunli's suggestion, he thought for a while and nodded:
"He's just a low-level little master. It won't be a big problem for you to deal with him. I'll be watching from the side later. You can give him a good beating and then leave..."
When Zhe Yunli saw the opportunity to show off his fists, he was naturally filled with joy and nodded quickly.
Fan Qinghe was walking on the left, and when he heard the words, he interjected:
"Baihe Pier is on the eastern outskirts of Fucheng, a hundred miles away from here. After we're done, let's go to the city for a walk and buy some Jade Dragon Paste. We ran out of what we brought with us yesterday... cough..."
Although the words stopped abruptly, doubts flashed in Zhe Yunli's eyes and he asked:
"Jade dragon ointment can treat internal injuries, right? Is there any injury on Aunt Fan's body?"
Fan Qinghe was naturally uninjured, but when giving Ye Jing Tang a massage, she had to use some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine, and the push rod also had to be lubricated. Her medicine clip was only that big, and she only brought two bottles. She used one yesterday. The bottle must be replenished naturally when there is a chance.
Faced with Yunli's niece's inquiry, Fan Qinghe couldn't explain clearly and just said:
"My legs are a little sore after running around for so many days. I applied medicine and rubbed them yesterday."
Zhe Yunli was dubious, but he didn't delve into the issue and asked instead:
"Cousin Jing, have our identities been settled?"
Seeing this, Ye Jingtang took out a talisman and paper from his pocket, and handed it to Yunli:
"This is our new identity. We must remember our background and experience well to avoid accidentally exposing our identity when we arrive in Yanjing. Aunt Fan, this is yours."
Seeing that Ye Jingtang also called her Aunt Fan, Fan Qinghe's eyes were a little annoyed, but she couldn't correct her sternly, so she just pretended she didn't hear her, and took the paper and sign:
"Wang Cui...why do you call me such a bad name?"
Zhe Yunli originally wanted to complain, but when he heard Aunt Fan's name, he laughed out loud:
"Hahaha... Cough, it's actually okay, I'm still called Niuniu. Brother Jing, what's your name?"
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Just call me fourth brother from now on."
"Ye Silang? If you have such a nice name, why don't you just make it up for the two of us..."
"Ugh……"
Ye Jingtang was helpless, seeing the injustice in the two girls' hearts, so he could only take out his cards and show them both.
Then the two of them regained their balance in an instant, and they started to laugh with Niao Niao at the name of the miscellaneous fish in his book that might not survive half a chapter...
……
-
Chengtian Mansion is regarded as the gateway of the capital, and it is rich in rice and grain, so the shipping is very developed, and there are several docks scattered outside the city.
At dusk, on the eastern outskirts of Chengtian Mansion, a rather simple carriage, surrounded by several guards, drove along the river to the city not far away.
Hua Junchen, who was dressed as a scribe, raised the curtain at the car window and looked at the ships sailing in an orderly manner on the river. His eyes were filled with relief and he praised:
"Prefect Liu is really fast in doing things. In just a few days, he has tidied up the dock. It seems that this time I go to the capital, I have to write a letter and praise it..."
In the carriage, Hua Qingzhi, dressed elegantly, was studying the chess game by herself; Lu Zhu was fanning a small ball fan and answered:
"Isn't this ridiculous? The last time the lady came back, two waves of people fought on the riverside. There was blood everywhere, and an arm fell off on the ground. The lady was so scared that she couldn't sleep well all night. It doesn't look like what a city should be like. ..."
A few days ago, Hua Junchen and Hua Qingzhi came back from various tribes in the West Sea and hurried to the door of their house. As soon as they were relieved, they encountered gangs fighting on the dock.
At that time, the flash of swords and the sound of screams startled Hua Junchen who was resting in the carriage. He thought that the King of Hell was coming to kill him again. Qingzhi was also startled by the sight of blood in the car.
The daughter was frightened, and Hua Junchen definitely couldn't do anything better. He went to the prefect's Yamen in person and asked Magistrate Liu for an explanation.
According to Magistrate Liu's explanation, he learned that due to the recent border war preparations, the demand for transportation of grain, grass, and ordnance has increased. The original grain transport ships were not enough, so some of them were released and handed over to the shipping companies at the dock.
Although it is only a part of the business, the water transport business is huge and the demand from the military is quite stable. As long as you take over the business, it is equivalent to getting a long-term meal ticket, which is far more stable than picking up individual passengers at the dock.
For this reason, as early as a few months ago, the boat shops around Chengtian Mansion began to fight and kill each other in order to grab business.
Fighting over business in Jianghu Wharf is nothing new anywhere. As long as it doesn't cause a big fuss, Magistrate Liu doesn't care about these messes.
But seeing that Mrs. Hua’s favorite granddaughter was frightened, the situation would be different. What if Mrs. Hua wrote a letter saying that under his rule, Chengtian Mansion had become a mess and his career would be ruined. I'm afraid this is the end.
For this reason, Magistrate Liu issued a death order that day. Anyone who dared to kill another person for business would have their job destroyed.
Although the local magistrate did not have martial arts skills, it only took one word to cut off the boat gang's financial path. For this reason, the major boat gangs stopped on the same day. They only dared to quarrel but did not dare to fight. The smarter ones secretly gave gifts instead. Find connections to compete.
Seeing that these gangsters were all honest, Hua Junchen was naturally relieved. Just as he was about to praise Magistrate Liu a few more words, his ears suddenly twitched and he heard from afar:
ding ding ding-
bang~
wow...
Outside the carriage, Hua Ning was riding a horse. When he heard the noise, he immediately became alert and looked towards the dock in the distance:
"Master, there seems to be someone fighting over there."
When Hua Junchen heard this, his face immediately turned cold. After all, he had just praised the public order in front of his daughter, and now he turned around and saw a private fight. Wasn't it a slap in the face?
Hua Junchen looked up and saw that there was a fight going on in a house near the dock. The flag of the Thunder Eagle Gang was hanging outside the door. He picked up his sword and prepared to stand up:
"This Zhao Dong really has some ability. He can be lawless in Chengtian Mansion. I'll go see it for my father..."
Seeing this, Hua Qingzhi quickly stopped Hua Junchen:
"Dad, what are you going to say when you come forward to fight among gangsters at the pier? Just say hello to Magistrate Liu later."
Luzhu actually suspected that the master wanted to watch the fun. After all, Zhao Dong from the Thunder Eagle Gang was considered a well-known martial artist in the vicinity of Chengtian Mansion. The master had always wanted to find an opportunity to spar, but due to his status as the legitimate son of a noble family, he found a gangster to spar with. In fact, the price has dropped and I have not been able to do so.
Before going out, the lady told her not to let the master hang out with those wanderers. To this end, Lu Zhu also advised:
"Yes. There are a lot of people recruited in the bookstore, and they are waiting for the master to find them. Let's go over there quickly."
Hua Junchen heard the noise in the distance being very lively and wanted to take a look, but his daughter wouldn't let him. He couldn't be a rebellious father and forced himself to run past. At the moment, he could only wave his sleeves:
"Forget it, let's go. I can't handle such a thing, and my father will have to go to Magistrate Liu later to preach..."
creak creak...
Within a few words, the carriage drove past the pier.
-
The sun was setting in the west, and on the Baihe dock where thousands of sails gathered, countless laborers were walking back and forth on the shore, loading and unloading various goods.
In a house near the dock, all the thugs who were originally guarding the door have been transferred, the door is wide open, and only a symbolic dog is tied to guard the door.
In the lobby of the house, Zhao Dong, who was wearing a brocade robe, was sitting under the central hall, holding a teacup in his hand and carefully looking through the ship company's account books.
Zhao Dong looks less than fifty, in his prime, with broad shoulders and a broad back. However, there is a scar on the left side of his face, which cut off part of his earrings, making him look gangster.
The master in a scholar's robe stood at the door holding a folding fan, looking at the empty yard, frowning and saying:
"I've been waiting for three days and no one has come to the door. Is the money given too little?"
What the master was talking about was naturally about hiring a murderer a few days ago.
The Thunder Eagle Gang is considered a big gang at Baihe Wharf, with more than 20 boats in hand. Brother Bai Laihao and the gang leader Zhao Dong are also famous and can be considered powerful.
But the Song family shipping company, which is located in the same dock, has been rooted in the dock for decades, and has been managed by the government every year, so the friendship is deeper.
Nowadays, the prefect is not allowed to fight and kill. If everyone waits for the government to appoint them, the big job of transporting military rations will probably be divided equally between the two families in the end, and no one will have enough to eat.
For this reason, the Master, who is the "White Paper Fan", came up with a "unexpected plan". He asked someone to kill him and put the blame on the Song family who had an enemy, thus depriving the Song family of their share.
This strategy is good in the eyes of the master, but the gang leader is a bit stingy and only gave 300 taels of silver.
The Jianghu Grandmaster's worth is not low. Although he is just a bastard in Wu Kui's eyes, in the Jianghu world, he is probably at the level of being able to establish a sect. He can be the leader of a wealthy family, and the leader of the second tier. Normally, he can be in a county. He is one of the top three people in the land. If you don't have a thousand taels of silver to kill such a person, no one will take care of him. For such a young and powerful grandmaster, no matter how much money is paid, no one may take it.
Zhao Dong, the leader of the Thunder Eagle Gang, is a young and powerful master. If he had not been smuggled from the Southern Dynasties in the early years, he had only taken root in the northern arena for seven or eight years. He did not dare to be too public. Now he is the leader of a sect at least. He would never Just a boat shop boss.
When the master said this at this time, he obviously wanted the gang leader to spend more money and not wait in vain.
But Zhao Dong has been through the rivers and lakes for a long time and knows the rivers and lakes very well. Hearing what the master said, he turned over a page of the account book and said flatly:
"300 taels of silver is too little, and a serious master of the martial arts world would not risk it, but for a young man who has just entered the martial arts world, it is a valuable windfall.
"There are a lot of idiots in the world who don't know how high the sky is and want money without their lives. Just wait patiently. If you don't come for another two days, it means too many hands are changing and the price is too low. Then you can make up for it. The price..."
When the master saw what the gang leader said, he didn't refute it. After thinking about it, he turned around and sat down next to him, and said hesitantly:
"Anyone who dares to take on this job, even if he is a stupid young man, must have two brushes. Do we really not remind Ya Xing to let the killer pay attention to his discretion?"
Zhao Dong frowned and said: "You have to do everything when it comes to acting. The magistrate is not stupid. If something goes wrong, you can find out who is behind it by asking at the boat shop. Not only will the business be gone, but the boat shop's sign will have to be removed."
"I played a secret trick and hired a killer to assassinate me, but I didn't even say that I would be spared alive. It's like using my own head as a tactic. How many Jianghu people can be so courageous? Even if the magistrate asked the dental shop to inquire afterwards, he would only be suspicious. When it comes to the Song family, they won’t say that I did anything secretly.
"As for the assassin who came, he is not very powerful. He can kill the grandmaster for 300 taels of silver. His brain is not normal in the first place. How can he practice good kung fu?"
The master thought about it for a while, and felt that it was really such a reason, and said with admiration:
"The gang leader is still thoughtful."
Zhao Dong snorted softly, raised his finger and tapped his forehead:
"To travel in the world, you rely on your brains..."
call out--
At this moment, a thunderbolt sound suddenly came from the distance in the lobby! ——
a little while ago.
Baihe Wharf is quite large, with more than a hundred large and small ships moored in the port, and countless laborers pushing carts back and forth to load and unload goods on the shore.
Three fast horses were parked on the riverside near the dock. Fan Qinghe, wearing a bamboo hat, stayed in the woods on the hillside with Niaoniao to help look out for the wind.
On a large boat inside the port, Ye Jingtang squatted half-crouched behind the roof of the three-story boat building, squinting and carefully looking at the house on the shore with the flag of the Thunder Eagle Gang.
Zhe Yunli was holding a newly bought iron bow in his hand and was winding it with his legs while asking:
"Is it this one?"
Ye Jingtang looked at the situation in the house, took out the note and read it:
"The one looking through the ledger inside seems to have good martial arts skills, so he should be the target customer. Why is there not even a patrol guard..."
"Don't you have a watchdog? A small sect doesn't have that much ostentation."
While Zhe Yunli was talking, he hung up the bowstring, then took out an arrow, and was ready to fire the bow and set the arrow.
Seeing this, Night Terror Hall asked:
"Are you sure you know how to shoot an arrow?"
Zhe Yunli was born in a wealthy family. She has practiced fist and foot weapons since she was a child. Bows and arrows can't deal with heroes. She has practiced relatively little, but she has not dabbled in it before. Now she uses bows very standardly:
"If you miss the shot, just take another arrow."
When Ye Jingtang heard this, he frowned and said:
"It's okay if you miss it, but don't really hit it..."
"Ok?"
The corner of Zhe Yunli's mouth was close to the bow string, and he drew the bow like a full moon. Hearing this, he said blankly:
"Can't shoot?"
"It's not nonsense, the employer just paid 21 taels of silver, and you only get 15 taels. If you shoot the second arrow, you will lose money, let alone hit someone..." "That's all?! This bow costs [-] taels." silver……"
"Shh, aim well, let's leave after shooting..."
Zhe Yunli was puzzled, but he still obeyed the order. He originally aimed at his chest, but instead aimed at the back of the Taishi chair, trying to rub it past his ear to scare the target customer. The result:
huh~
As soon as Zhe Yunli released his thumb from clasping the string, the arrow on the bow shot through the air with a buzzing sound.
Because they wanted to be archery masters, the two of them acted very professionally. They bought a five-stone iron bow that ordinary people could not draw. The bare bow cost a lot of money, and the arrow speed at this time was also quite amazing.
When Zheyunli saw it clearly, the black line had pierced through the air and poured into the courtyard, pointing directly at the head melon that the customer raised his hand.
? !
Seeing this, Zhe Yunli's expression suddenly changed. He didn't even bother to rub his grandmother, who was scratched by the bow string. She wanted to chase the arrow but it was too late.
And Ye Jingtang dared to let Yun Li shoot an arrow, so he was sure to stop it. When he saw that the arrow was in the wrong direction, he didn't stop it, because he knew that Zhao Dong was very stable and could definitely avoid it.
And the facts were not what he expected.
As soon as the feather arrow hit the courtyard, Zhao Dong, who was banging his head, reacted. He moved his peripheral vision outward, turned his raised left hand outwards, and slid his right foot to the Taishi chair to support his body.
Boom——
The next moment, there was a muffled sound in the hall.
The master, who was listening to the gang leader's words, saw a black line flash out of the corner of his eye. The gang leader who was sitting on the Taishi chair fell backwards and hit the back of the chair, causing the back of the chair to crack.
wow-
The cluster of sharp arrows, still half an inch away from the forehead, suddenly stopped. The tail of the arrow held in the palm of the hand trembled violently, causing a buzzing sound:
buzzing~~~
The master was caught off guard and jumped up in fright. He took a few steps back and looked out the door again:
"who?!"
Zhao Dong grabbed the astonishingly powerful feather arrow with his left hand. He was obviously frightened. However, he immediately realized that the assassin was coming. He slammed the table and flew up. He grabbed the golden ring sword from the hall and roared:
"How dare you!"
And outside the door.
Zhe Yunli almost shot his client to death and shrank his neck in fear. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the client was fine, and rubbed his right chest with his hand to urge:
"Go, go, go..."
But Cousin Jing, who was standing nearby, had no intention of leaving as planned. Instead, he frowned and looked at the pursuing swordsman.She pulled up her sleeves:
"Surprised cousin?"
Ye Jingtang didn't respond. After thinking for a while, he grabbed Yunli's back collar with one hand, tapped his toes, and the two of them flew into the air, and landed in the courtyard almost in the blink of an eye.
蹋~
? !
Zhao Dong was afraid that the assassin who fired the hidden arrow would escape, so he rushed out of the hall with a knife in his hand. However, before he could run down the steps, he saw two figures rising into the sky and landing directly in the courtyard from above the parked boat. They were silent and ghostly figures. generally.
For ordinary people in the world, this situation can be described as terrifying. Zhao Dong was caught off guard and almost fell down. He quickly grabbed his body and retreated under the eaves, holding knives in both hands to protect his chest. His face was expressionless. As white as a powerful enemy.
Zhe Yunli didn't expect Ye Jingtang to suddenly take her out. He quickly pulled up the face towel, then quickly assumed the posture of a female assassin, put the five-foot long yellow sheath sword on his shoulder, and said coldly:
"Are you Zhao Dong? Someone paid for your life. I'm offended."
Zhao Dong held the saber in both hands. At this moment, he couldn't hear what Zheyunli was saying outside the door. After all, as long as he was not blind, he could see the man in the hat standing beside him. Raise your hand.
At this time, Zhao Dong was focused on Ye Jingtang, looking around with his peripheral vision, obviously trying to escape.
As for the master in the lobby, his martial arts skills were not high and he couldn't see the way. The impact he received was not as great as that of Zhao Dong, but he also knew that the strength of these two people was higher than that of the gang leader.
When he heard that he was a hired killer, the master reacted very quickly and ran to the door to dissuade him;
"Slow down, I'm afraid you two have misunderstood. This secret trick was done by the gang leader himself. It's all a misunderstanding. It's just a joke. We will pay double the money as compensation for you two..."
Zhe Yunli was speechless when he heard this. After all, the double compensation was only 60 taels of silver. He might as well get back his money by beating this guy up, so he immediately said:
"There are state laws and regulations. Now that we have accepted the errand, how can we bend down for 60 taels of silver?"
"Ten taels?"
huh~
As soon as the master showed doubts, a copper coin shot out, brushed past Zhao Dong's side, and hit the master's chest, and the master passed out on the spot.
Thump~
Zhao Dong made a move to raise the knife, but he didn't prevent it at all. Now he felt ashamed, and took a step back:
"Your Majesty, you don't kill people for money, right? Who are you?"
Ye Jingtang naturally didn't show up for the money. He looked at the scars on Zhao Dong's face and the golden ring knife in his hand:
"Your name is not Zhao Dong, right?"
Zhao Dong frowned and subconsciously changed to holding the sword on his side to hide the scar on his left face:
"What do you mean, sir?"
Ye Jingtang didn't pretend to be a riddler, so he got straight to the point:
"You subconsciously caught the arrow with your backhand just now. You used Yanzhou Amber Tower's 'Crane Holding Hand'. The move to break the spear with a single sword, and the sword skills you practiced, it is probably the Amber Tower's 'Handle Cutting Sword'. The scar on the left cheek, from The forehead bone cuts through the earlobe, and the angle is from bottom to top. It should have been injured by an opponent as tall as your nose using Zhou Jiajian's 'Swallow Turning Back', right?"
"?"
Hearing this, not only Zhao Dong was a little confused, but also the concave-shaped Yun Li next to him blinked, tilted his head and asked softly:
"How did you see it?"
Ye Jingtang had learned these miscellaneous moves in the stupid Mingyu Tower, so it was not difficult to recognize them. He looked at Zhao Dong and continued:
"If I remember correctly, you have been in Beiliang for eight years, right?"
When Zhao Dong heard these words, he understood that these two people were from the Southern Dynasty Jianghu, and took a step back:
"Your Excellency is also a friend from the south? Zhao didn't offend many people in the Southern Dynasties, and he kept to himself in Beiliang. It's not easy for everyone to start a new life. Please give me a chance. Zhao will definitely pay a lot of money to apologize afterwards."
"You really haven't offended many people. After all, those you offended are already dead."
Ye Jingtang touched his arms and took out the Heiya's sign:
"In the black yamen case library, there are 63 felons who have been wanted across the country for the murders of more than ten people. Currently, there are [-] felons who have not been arrested. Every police officer who joins the job must first clearly remember the characteristics of these people. I happened to have seen them all.
"If I remember correctly, your name should be Shao Dating. You are from Xiangshan County, Yanzhou. You are 47 this year. In Dongyue eight years ago, you committed the crime of killing your master because you refused to accept the transfer of the position of master to your senior brother, and also killed your senior brother's family. Thirteen people, including two young children, were later hunted down by Jianghu martyrs and escaped into Yanshan without being traced.
"You killed master and brother. It's a matter of the rivers and lakes. I can't control it. But if you kill civilians, the case will be sent to the black government. It's a good thing for you to want to be a man again. , after all, it is not true reincarnation, and the previous sins cannot be erased."
When Zhao Dong saw the sign of Hei Yamen and heard these old memories that he had almost forgotten, his eyelids twitched and he gritted his teeth and said:
"This is Daliang, the Southern Dynasty can't control this side, and now I am a native of Daliang, the black government has no right to arrest me..."
Night Terror Hall took two steps back:
"I didn't intend to arrest you either. Heiya handles affairs. Except for certain useful people, everything else will be shot or killed."
After Zhe Yunli understood the whole story, he naturally stopped talking. He held the handle of the knife upside down with his left hand slightly, placed the scabbard on the ground, and made a gesture to draw the knife:
"What else do you have to say?"
Zhao Dong had lived a stable life in the Northern Dynasty for eighty-nine years, and suddenly he was visited by a gangster. It really felt like he was in another world.
But having been around in the Southern Dynasties for many years, he knew very well how the Hei Yamen behaved. Those who could get the Hei Yamen to act were all serious criminals. They would kill them if they found them, and they would not even try them.
He knew he was outmatched and had no intention of fighting at all. After glancing left and right, his legs suddenly exerted force and rushed towards the side wall.
bang——
choke-
At this moment, a flash of sword light flashed in the courtyard.
Although Zhe Yunli usually behaves like a weakling, he is far more fierce than the master's wife in a fight. His legs shook violently and he moved like a rabbit, holding a five-foot-long knife and slashing directly at Zhao Dong's waist and abdomen.
Zhao Dong was considered an experienced man. When he discovered the starting move of the variant 'Eight-Step Crazy Sword', his eyes were obviously stunned again, but his reaction was not slow. He struck back while flying, relying on the huge inertia of the Golden Ring Sword. He struck the long knife, then spun in mid-air and swept his whip leg towards Zhe Yunli's head.
block!
Zhe Yunli was obviously a little stressed when dealing with the Grandmaster, but his physical condition after practicing five Minglong Diagrams was terrifying. The knife was pressed down and hit on his arm. He managed to withstand the arrogant force and turned around without waiting for it to be hit on the head. A side kick hit Zhao Dong in the waist and abdomen.
bang——
Zhao Dong obviously didn't expect this humble little girl to be so powerful. She flew backwards instantly, crashed through the window and fell into the lobby. Another carp flipped up and rushed towards the side window again.
"Go away!"
Zhe Yunli's left arm was sore from being hit by the back of the knife, but he didn't care so much. He sent the knife from his left hand to his right hand, and flew forward with a yellow dragon's path, landing on Zhao Dong's path, instantly tearing a big crack in the wall. .
boom -
clang clang-
There were swords, lights and swords in the lobby, but the tables, chairs and benches were torn apart in an instant.
Ye Jingtang didn't interfere. He walked to the middle hall, picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water. Then he sat back under the middle hall, watching Yunli's grandmaster exam, and thinking about whether he should take the escape from Beiliang during this trip. All the wanted criminals who came to Beiliang were arrested to prevent this group of people from going unpunished.
Zhao Dong is indeed a master. At first he didn't dare to reveal his master's martial arts skills. But after he showed off the special sword skills of Hubo Lou, his moves became much smoother.
But Zhe Yunli, as Xue Baijin's apprentice, has practiced martial arts that are no less advanced than Ye Jingtang, and his foundation is surprisingly good, and his ability to withstand beatings is amazing, so someone from a second-rate sect like Zhao Dong really can't handle it.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhe Yunli can knock down Zhao Dong within ten moves.
But competition is competition, Jianghu is Jianghu, and high martial arts skills do not necessarily mean a sure win. Jianghu experience is sometimes more important than foundation.
Just when Zheyunli's swords and knives were connected in succession, Zhao Dong was forced into a corner with no room to move. Zhao Dong knew that he was outmatched and was no longer afraid of Ye Jingtang not far away. He held the knife in both hands and seemed to risk his life. But when Zheyunli raised the knife to fight hard, white powder exploded out of the sleeves of his slashing hands with a "bang~" sound.
Zhe Yunli concentrated all his attention on the moves. He was caught off guard and was instantly covered with lime powder. He felt bad and immediately flew back.
Zhao Dong also took this opportunity to throw the golden ring knife towards the Night Terror Hall, ran towards the door and shouted angrily:
"come..."
huh~
A soft sound.
Ye Jingtang, who was drinking tea, flicked his fingers, and the white porcelain cup lid flew out, drew a semicircular arc in the hall, flew around the pillars to the door, and flashed past Zhao Dong, who was escaping at full speed. .
chah~
Boom!
The white porcelain cup lid was nailed to the door frame, and it penetrated more than three-thirds of the way into the wood. You could see that the edge was stained with blood red.
The words Zhao Dong just spoke stopped abruptly. After running forward for two steps, he fell to his knees on the steps with a plop. He covered his throat with his hands. A large amount of blood seeped out between his fingers. He looked back at the bamboo hat leaning under the nave. The man's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Cough, cough, pee, pee, pee..."
Zhe Yunli had lime sprinkled on his face. He originally wanted to chase him, but found that the Night Terror Hall was easily wiped out, so he stopped at the door and kept patting his clothes and coughing.
Ye Jingtang didn't pay attention to the trash fish, put down the tea cup, came to the front and took the long knife:
"Good fight. Pay more attention to these little tricks next time. If I hadn't been here today, you would have suffered a loss. Go out and wash up first, and I'll clean up this place."
Zhe Yunli felt that this person was a bit despicable, but since his neck was wiped, there was no point in cursing because he couldn't open his eyes because he was choked, so he ran out quickly.
plop~
Zhao Dong might have been too frustrated. He covered his throat, bit the blood and spoke hoarsely:
"Who...are you...?"
"The Nightmare Hall."
"..."
Zhao Dong's evil beast-like eyes were obviously stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly understood. Before he could show any other expression, his body fell down.
Thump~
After Ye Jingtang waited for Zhao Dong to be dead, he processed all the traces on the walls, tables, chairs, and corpse to prevent experts from seeing the clues and guessing his identity. Then he took the knife and flew out of the courtyard...
Aguan will definitely be there before 0 o'clock. When will it be finished and when will it be updated in advance.
I won’t take up everyone’s time by publishing single chapters in the future. Just remember to update at 0 o’clock. If you publish it in advance, it will be a surprise or2.
(End of this chapter)
"drive--"
Under the spring sun, three fast horses galloped out of Huangmei County and galloped upstream along the river.
Ye Jingtang took the lead, holding the map Zhang Gang bought to check the distribution of forces around Chengtian Mansion, while Niaoniao squatted on his legs and looked at it together.
Zhe Yunli followed behind, with his long knife hanging on the side of his horse, and said in a daze:
"Cousin Jing, where are we going? We are in such a hurry, we should leave as soon as we come out..."
"I'm going to Baihe Pier. I just picked up an errand. I went to clean up someone. I have to come back after the fight. I want to find a way to sneak into the Qinglong Club..."
When Zhe Yunli heard about the beating, he immediately became interested and moved closer:
"Who are you going to hit? Is it strong? How about I come and we split the reward in half?'
Ye Jingtang is currently among the top ten in the world. Going to fight an ordinary master is no less than bullying a three-year-old child. If word spreads, he will lose his status. Faced with Yunli's suggestion, he thought for a while and nodded:
"He's just a low-level little master. It won't be a big problem for you to deal with him. I'll be watching from the side later. You can give him a good beating and then leave..."
When Zhe Yunli saw the opportunity to show off his fists, he was naturally filled with joy and nodded quickly.
Fan Qinghe was walking on the left, and when he heard the words, he interjected:
"Baihe Pier is on the eastern outskirts of Fucheng, a hundred miles away from here. After we're done, let's go to the city for a walk and buy some Jade Dragon Paste. We ran out of what we brought with us yesterday... cough..."
Although the words stopped abruptly, doubts flashed in Zhe Yunli's eyes and he asked:
"Jade dragon ointment can treat internal injuries, right? Is there any injury on Aunt Fan's body?"
Fan Qinghe was naturally uninjured, but when giving Ye Jing Tang a massage, she had to use some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine, and the push rod also had to be lubricated. Her medicine clip was only that big, and she only brought two bottles. She used one yesterday. The bottle must be replenished naturally when there is a chance.
Faced with Yunli's niece's inquiry, Fan Qinghe couldn't explain clearly and just said:
"My legs are a little sore after running around for so many days. I applied medicine and rubbed them yesterday."
Zhe Yunli was dubious, but he didn't delve into the issue and asked instead:
"Cousin Jing, have our identities been settled?"
Seeing this, Ye Jingtang took out a talisman and paper from his pocket, and handed it to Yunli:
"This is our new identity. We must remember our background and experience well to avoid accidentally exposing our identity when we arrive in Yanjing. Aunt Fan, this is yours."
Seeing that Ye Jingtang also called her Aunt Fan, Fan Qinghe's eyes were a little annoyed, but she couldn't correct her sternly, so she just pretended she didn't hear her, and took the paper and sign:
"Wang Cui...why do you call me such a bad name?"
Zhe Yunli originally wanted to complain, but when he heard Aunt Fan's name, he laughed out loud:
"Hahaha... Cough, it's actually okay, I'm still called Niuniu. Brother Jing, what's your name?"
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Just call me fourth brother from now on."
"Ye Silang? If you have such a nice name, why don't you just make it up for the two of us..."
"Ugh……"
Ye Jingtang was helpless, seeing the injustice in the two girls' hearts, so he could only take out his cards and show them both.
Then the two of them regained their balance in an instant, and they started to laugh with Niao Niao at the name of the miscellaneous fish in his book that might not survive half a chapter...
……
-
Chengtian Mansion is regarded as the gateway of the capital, and it is rich in rice and grain, so the shipping is very developed, and there are several docks scattered outside the city.
At dusk, on the eastern outskirts of Chengtian Mansion, a rather simple carriage, surrounded by several guards, drove along the river to the city not far away.
Hua Junchen, who was dressed as a scribe, raised the curtain at the car window and looked at the ships sailing in an orderly manner on the river. His eyes were filled with relief and he praised:
"Prefect Liu is really fast in doing things. In just a few days, he has tidied up the dock. It seems that this time I go to the capital, I have to write a letter and praise it..."
In the carriage, Hua Qingzhi, dressed elegantly, was studying the chess game by herself; Lu Zhu was fanning a small ball fan and answered:
"Isn't this ridiculous? The last time the lady came back, two waves of people fought on the riverside. There was blood everywhere, and an arm fell off on the ground. The lady was so scared that she couldn't sleep well all night. It doesn't look like what a city should be like. ..."
A few days ago, Hua Junchen and Hua Qingzhi came back from various tribes in the West Sea and hurried to the door of their house. As soon as they were relieved, they encountered gangs fighting on the dock.
At that time, the flash of swords and the sound of screams startled Hua Junchen who was resting in the carriage. He thought that the King of Hell was coming to kill him again. Qingzhi was also startled by the sight of blood in the car.
The daughter was frightened, and Hua Junchen definitely couldn't do anything better. He went to the prefect's Yamen in person and asked Magistrate Liu for an explanation.
According to Magistrate Liu's explanation, he learned that due to the recent border war preparations, the demand for transportation of grain, grass, and ordnance has increased. The original grain transport ships were not enough, so some of them were released and handed over to the shipping companies at the dock.
Although it is only a part of the business, the water transport business is huge and the demand from the military is quite stable. As long as you take over the business, it is equivalent to getting a long-term meal ticket, which is far more stable than picking up individual passengers at the dock.
For this reason, as early as a few months ago, the boat shops around Chengtian Mansion began to fight and kill each other in order to grab business.
Fighting over business in Jianghu Wharf is nothing new anywhere. As long as it doesn't cause a big fuss, Magistrate Liu doesn't care about these messes.
But seeing that Mrs. Hua’s favorite granddaughter was frightened, the situation would be different. What if Mrs. Hua wrote a letter saying that under his rule, Chengtian Mansion had become a mess and his career would be ruined. I'm afraid this is the end.
For this reason, Magistrate Liu issued a death order that day. Anyone who dared to kill another person for business would have their job destroyed.
Although the local magistrate did not have martial arts skills, it only took one word to cut off the boat gang's financial path. For this reason, the major boat gangs stopped on the same day. They only dared to quarrel but did not dare to fight. The smarter ones secretly gave gifts instead. Find connections to compete.
Seeing that these gangsters were all honest, Hua Junchen was naturally relieved. Just as he was about to praise Magistrate Liu a few more words, his ears suddenly twitched and he heard from afar:
ding ding ding-
bang~
wow...
Outside the carriage, Hua Ning was riding a horse. When he heard the noise, he immediately became alert and looked towards the dock in the distance:
"Master, there seems to be someone fighting over there."
When Hua Junchen heard this, his face immediately turned cold. After all, he had just praised the public order in front of his daughter, and now he turned around and saw a private fight. Wasn't it a slap in the face?
Hua Junchen looked up and saw that there was a fight going on in a house near the dock. The flag of the Thunder Eagle Gang was hanging outside the door. He picked up his sword and prepared to stand up:
"This Zhao Dong really has some ability. He can be lawless in Chengtian Mansion. I'll go see it for my father..."
Seeing this, Hua Qingzhi quickly stopped Hua Junchen:
"Dad, what are you going to say when you come forward to fight among gangsters at the pier? Just say hello to Magistrate Liu later."
Luzhu actually suspected that the master wanted to watch the fun. After all, Zhao Dong from the Thunder Eagle Gang was considered a well-known martial artist in the vicinity of Chengtian Mansion. The master had always wanted to find an opportunity to spar, but due to his status as the legitimate son of a noble family, he found a gangster to spar with. In fact, the price has dropped and I have not been able to do so.
Before going out, the lady told her not to let the master hang out with those wanderers. To this end, Lu Zhu also advised:
"Yes. There are a lot of people recruited in the bookstore, and they are waiting for the master to find them. Let's go over there quickly."
Hua Junchen heard the noise in the distance being very lively and wanted to take a look, but his daughter wouldn't let him. He couldn't be a rebellious father and forced himself to run past. At the moment, he could only wave his sleeves:
"Forget it, let's go. I can't handle such a thing, and my father will have to go to Magistrate Liu later to preach..."
creak creak...
Within a few words, the carriage drove past the pier.
-
The sun was setting in the west, and on the Baihe dock where thousands of sails gathered, countless laborers were walking back and forth on the shore, loading and unloading various goods.
In a house near the dock, all the thugs who were originally guarding the door have been transferred, the door is wide open, and only a symbolic dog is tied to guard the door.
In the lobby of the house, Zhao Dong, who was wearing a brocade robe, was sitting under the central hall, holding a teacup in his hand and carefully looking through the ship company's account books.
Zhao Dong looks less than fifty, in his prime, with broad shoulders and a broad back. However, there is a scar on the left side of his face, which cut off part of his earrings, making him look gangster.
The master in a scholar's robe stood at the door holding a folding fan, looking at the empty yard, frowning and saying:
"I've been waiting for three days and no one has come to the door. Is the money given too little?"
What the master was talking about was naturally about hiring a murderer a few days ago.
The Thunder Eagle Gang is considered a big gang at Baihe Wharf, with more than 20 boats in hand. Brother Bai Laihao and the gang leader Zhao Dong are also famous and can be considered powerful.
But the Song family shipping company, which is located in the same dock, has been rooted in the dock for decades, and has been managed by the government every year, so the friendship is deeper.
Nowadays, the prefect is not allowed to fight and kill. If everyone waits for the government to appoint them, the big job of transporting military rations will probably be divided equally between the two families in the end, and no one will have enough to eat.
For this reason, the Master, who is the "White Paper Fan", came up with a "unexpected plan". He asked someone to kill him and put the blame on the Song family who had an enemy, thus depriving the Song family of their share.
This strategy is good in the eyes of the master, but the gang leader is a bit stingy and only gave 300 taels of silver.
The Jianghu Grandmaster's worth is not low. Although he is just a bastard in Wu Kui's eyes, in the Jianghu world, he is probably at the level of being able to establish a sect. He can be the leader of a wealthy family, and the leader of the second tier. Normally, he can be in a county. He is one of the top three people in the land. If you don't have a thousand taels of silver to kill such a person, no one will take care of him. For such a young and powerful grandmaster, no matter how much money is paid, no one may take it.
Zhao Dong, the leader of the Thunder Eagle Gang, is a young and powerful master. If he had not been smuggled from the Southern Dynasties in the early years, he had only taken root in the northern arena for seven or eight years. He did not dare to be too public. Now he is the leader of a sect at least. He would never Just a boat shop boss.
When the master said this at this time, he obviously wanted the gang leader to spend more money and not wait in vain.
But Zhao Dong has been through the rivers and lakes for a long time and knows the rivers and lakes very well. Hearing what the master said, he turned over a page of the account book and said flatly:
"300 taels of silver is too little, and a serious master of the martial arts world would not risk it, but for a young man who has just entered the martial arts world, it is a valuable windfall.
"There are a lot of idiots in the world who don't know how high the sky is and want money without their lives. Just wait patiently. If you don't come for another two days, it means too many hands are changing and the price is too low. Then you can make up for it. The price..."
When the master saw what the gang leader said, he didn't refute it. After thinking about it, he turned around and sat down next to him, and said hesitantly:
"Anyone who dares to take on this job, even if he is a stupid young man, must have two brushes. Do we really not remind Ya Xing to let the killer pay attention to his discretion?"
Zhao Dong frowned and said: "You have to do everything when it comes to acting. The magistrate is not stupid. If something goes wrong, you can find out who is behind it by asking at the boat shop. Not only will the business be gone, but the boat shop's sign will have to be removed."
"I played a secret trick and hired a killer to assassinate me, but I didn't even say that I would be spared alive. It's like using my own head as a tactic. How many Jianghu people can be so courageous? Even if the magistrate asked the dental shop to inquire afterwards, he would only be suspicious. When it comes to the Song family, they won’t say that I did anything secretly.
"As for the assassin who came, he is not very powerful. He can kill the grandmaster for 300 taels of silver. His brain is not normal in the first place. How can he practice good kung fu?"
The master thought about it for a while, and felt that it was really such a reason, and said with admiration:
"The gang leader is still thoughtful."
Zhao Dong snorted softly, raised his finger and tapped his forehead:
"To travel in the world, you rely on your brains..."
call out--
At this moment, a thunderbolt sound suddenly came from the distance in the lobby! ——
a little while ago.
Baihe Wharf is quite large, with more than a hundred large and small ships moored in the port, and countless laborers pushing carts back and forth to load and unload goods on the shore.
Three fast horses were parked on the riverside near the dock. Fan Qinghe, wearing a bamboo hat, stayed in the woods on the hillside with Niaoniao to help look out for the wind.
On a large boat inside the port, Ye Jingtang squatted half-crouched behind the roof of the three-story boat building, squinting and carefully looking at the house on the shore with the flag of the Thunder Eagle Gang.
Zhe Yunli was holding a newly bought iron bow in his hand and was winding it with his legs while asking:
"Is it this one?"
Ye Jingtang looked at the situation in the house, took out the note and read it:
"The one looking through the ledger inside seems to have good martial arts skills, so he should be the target customer. Why is there not even a patrol guard..."
"Don't you have a watchdog? A small sect doesn't have that much ostentation."
While Zhe Yunli was talking, he hung up the bowstring, then took out an arrow, and was ready to fire the bow and set the arrow.
Seeing this, Night Terror Hall asked:
"Are you sure you know how to shoot an arrow?"
Zhe Yunli was born in a wealthy family. She has practiced fist and foot weapons since she was a child. Bows and arrows can't deal with heroes. She has practiced relatively little, but she has not dabbled in it before. Now she uses bows very standardly:
"If you miss the shot, just take another arrow."
When Ye Jingtang heard this, he frowned and said:
"It's okay if you miss it, but don't really hit it..."
"Ok?"
The corner of Zhe Yunli's mouth was close to the bow string, and he drew the bow like a full moon. Hearing this, he said blankly:
"Can't shoot?"
"It's not nonsense, the employer just paid 21 taels of silver, and you only get 15 taels. If you shoot the second arrow, you will lose money, let alone hit someone..." "That's all?! This bow costs [-] taels." silver……"
"Shh, aim well, let's leave after shooting..."
Zhe Yunli was puzzled, but he still obeyed the order. He originally aimed at his chest, but instead aimed at the back of the Taishi chair, trying to rub it past his ear to scare the target customer. The result:
huh~
As soon as Zhe Yunli released his thumb from clasping the string, the arrow on the bow shot through the air with a buzzing sound.
Because they wanted to be archery masters, the two of them acted very professionally. They bought a five-stone iron bow that ordinary people could not draw. The bare bow cost a lot of money, and the arrow speed at this time was also quite amazing.
When Zheyunli saw it clearly, the black line had pierced through the air and poured into the courtyard, pointing directly at the head melon that the customer raised his hand.
? !
Seeing this, Zhe Yunli's expression suddenly changed. He didn't even bother to rub his grandmother, who was scratched by the bow string. She wanted to chase the arrow but it was too late.
And Ye Jingtang dared to let Yun Li shoot an arrow, so he was sure to stop it. When he saw that the arrow was in the wrong direction, he didn't stop it, because he knew that Zhao Dong was very stable and could definitely avoid it.
And the facts were not what he expected.
As soon as the feather arrow hit the courtyard, Zhao Dong, who was banging his head, reacted. He moved his peripheral vision outward, turned his raised left hand outwards, and slid his right foot to the Taishi chair to support his body.
Boom——
The next moment, there was a muffled sound in the hall.
The master, who was listening to the gang leader's words, saw a black line flash out of the corner of his eye. The gang leader who was sitting on the Taishi chair fell backwards and hit the back of the chair, causing the back of the chair to crack.
wow-
The cluster of sharp arrows, still half an inch away from the forehead, suddenly stopped. The tail of the arrow held in the palm of the hand trembled violently, causing a buzzing sound:
buzzing~~~
The master was caught off guard and jumped up in fright. He took a few steps back and looked out the door again:
"who?!"
Zhao Dong grabbed the astonishingly powerful feather arrow with his left hand. He was obviously frightened. However, he immediately realized that the assassin was coming. He slammed the table and flew up. He grabbed the golden ring sword from the hall and roared:
"How dare you!"
And outside the door.
Zhe Yunli almost shot his client to death and shrank his neck in fear. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the client was fine, and rubbed his right chest with his hand to urge:
"Go, go, go..."
But Cousin Jing, who was standing nearby, had no intention of leaving as planned. Instead, he frowned and looked at the pursuing swordsman.She pulled up her sleeves:
"Surprised cousin?"
Ye Jingtang didn't respond. After thinking for a while, he grabbed Yunli's back collar with one hand, tapped his toes, and the two of them flew into the air, and landed in the courtyard almost in the blink of an eye.
蹋~
? !
Zhao Dong was afraid that the assassin who fired the hidden arrow would escape, so he rushed out of the hall with a knife in his hand. However, before he could run down the steps, he saw two figures rising into the sky and landing directly in the courtyard from above the parked boat. They were silent and ghostly figures. generally.
For ordinary people in the world, this situation can be described as terrifying. Zhao Dong was caught off guard and almost fell down. He quickly grabbed his body and retreated under the eaves, holding knives in both hands to protect his chest. His face was expressionless. As white as a powerful enemy.
Zhe Yunli didn't expect Ye Jingtang to suddenly take her out. He quickly pulled up the face towel, then quickly assumed the posture of a female assassin, put the five-foot long yellow sheath sword on his shoulder, and said coldly:
"Are you Zhao Dong? Someone paid for your life. I'm offended."
Zhao Dong held the saber in both hands. At this moment, he couldn't hear what Zheyunli was saying outside the door. After all, as long as he was not blind, he could see the man in the hat standing beside him. Raise your hand.
At this time, Zhao Dong was focused on Ye Jingtang, looking around with his peripheral vision, obviously trying to escape.
As for the master in the lobby, his martial arts skills were not high and he couldn't see the way. The impact he received was not as great as that of Zhao Dong, but he also knew that the strength of these two people was higher than that of the gang leader.
When he heard that he was a hired killer, the master reacted very quickly and ran to the door to dissuade him;
"Slow down, I'm afraid you two have misunderstood. This secret trick was done by the gang leader himself. It's all a misunderstanding. It's just a joke. We will pay double the money as compensation for you two..."
Zhe Yunli was speechless when he heard this. After all, the double compensation was only 60 taels of silver. He might as well get back his money by beating this guy up, so he immediately said:
"There are state laws and regulations. Now that we have accepted the errand, how can we bend down for 60 taels of silver?"
"Ten taels?"
huh~
As soon as the master showed doubts, a copper coin shot out, brushed past Zhao Dong's side, and hit the master's chest, and the master passed out on the spot.
Thump~
Zhao Dong made a move to raise the knife, but he didn't prevent it at all. Now he felt ashamed, and took a step back:
"Your Majesty, you don't kill people for money, right? Who are you?"
Ye Jingtang naturally didn't show up for the money. He looked at the scars on Zhao Dong's face and the golden ring knife in his hand:
"Your name is not Zhao Dong, right?"
Zhao Dong frowned and subconsciously changed to holding the sword on his side to hide the scar on his left face:
"What do you mean, sir?"
Ye Jingtang didn't pretend to be a riddler, so he got straight to the point:
"You subconsciously caught the arrow with your backhand just now. You used Yanzhou Amber Tower's 'Crane Holding Hand'. The move to break the spear with a single sword, and the sword skills you practiced, it is probably the Amber Tower's 'Handle Cutting Sword'. The scar on the left cheek, from The forehead bone cuts through the earlobe, and the angle is from bottom to top. It should have been injured by an opponent as tall as your nose using Zhou Jiajian's 'Swallow Turning Back', right?"
"?"
Hearing this, not only Zhao Dong was a little confused, but also the concave-shaped Yun Li next to him blinked, tilted his head and asked softly:
"How did you see it?"
Ye Jingtang had learned these miscellaneous moves in the stupid Mingyu Tower, so it was not difficult to recognize them. He looked at Zhao Dong and continued:
"If I remember correctly, you have been in Beiliang for eight years, right?"
When Zhao Dong heard these words, he understood that these two people were from the Southern Dynasty Jianghu, and took a step back:
"Your Excellency is also a friend from the south? Zhao didn't offend many people in the Southern Dynasties, and he kept to himself in Beiliang. It's not easy for everyone to start a new life. Please give me a chance. Zhao will definitely pay a lot of money to apologize afterwards."
"You really haven't offended many people. After all, those you offended are already dead."
Ye Jingtang touched his arms and took out the Heiya's sign:
"In the black yamen case library, there are 63 felons who have been wanted across the country for the murders of more than ten people. Currently, there are [-] felons who have not been arrested. Every police officer who joins the job must first clearly remember the characteristics of these people. I happened to have seen them all.
"If I remember correctly, your name should be Shao Dating. You are from Xiangshan County, Yanzhou. You are 47 this year. In Dongyue eight years ago, you committed the crime of killing your master because you refused to accept the transfer of the position of master to your senior brother, and also killed your senior brother's family. Thirteen people, including two young children, were later hunted down by Jianghu martyrs and escaped into Yanshan without being traced.
"You killed master and brother. It's a matter of the rivers and lakes. I can't control it. But if you kill civilians, the case will be sent to the black government. It's a good thing for you to want to be a man again. , after all, it is not true reincarnation, and the previous sins cannot be erased."
When Zhao Dong saw the sign of Hei Yamen and heard these old memories that he had almost forgotten, his eyelids twitched and he gritted his teeth and said:
"This is Daliang, the Southern Dynasty can't control this side, and now I am a native of Daliang, the black government has no right to arrest me..."
Night Terror Hall took two steps back:
"I didn't intend to arrest you either. Heiya handles affairs. Except for certain useful people, everything else will be shot or killed."
After Zhe Yunli understood the whole story, he naturally stopped talking. He held the handle of the knife upside down with his left hand slightly, placed the scabbard on the ground, and made a gesture to draw the knife:
"What else do you have to say?"
Zhao Dong had lived a stable life in the Northern Dynasty for eighty-nine years, and suddenly he was visited by a gangster. It really felt like he was in another world.
But having been around in the Southern Dynasties for many years, he knew very well how the Hei Yamen behaved. Those who could get the Hei Yamen to act were all serious criminals. They would kill them if they found them, and they would not even try them.
He knew he was outmatched and had no intention of fighting at all. After glancing left and right, his legs suddenly exerted force and rushed towards the side wall.
bang——
choke-
At this moment, a flash of sword light flashed in the courtyard.
Although Zhe Yunli usually behaves like a weakling, he is far more fierce than the master's wife in a fight. His legs shook violently and he moved like a rabbit, holding a five-foot-long knife and slashing directly at Zhao Dong's waist and abdomen.
Zhao Dong was considered an experienced man. When he discovered the starting move of the variant 'Eight-Step Crazy Sword', his eyes were obviously stunned again, but his reaction was not slow. He struck back while flying, relying on the huge inertia of the Golden Ring Sword. He struck the long knife, then spun in mid-air and swept his whip leg towards Zhe Yunli's head.
block!
Zhe Yunli was obviously a little stressed when dealing with the Grandmaster, but his physical condition after practicing five Minglong Diagrams was terrifying. The knife was pressed down and hit on his arm. He managed to withstand the arrogant force and turned around without waiting for it to be hit on the head. A side kick hit Zhao Dong in the waist and abdomen.
bang——
Zhao Dong obviously didn't expect this humble little girl to be so powerful. She flew backwards instantly, crashed through the window and fell into the lobby. Another carp flipped up and rushed towards the side window again.
"Go away!"
Zhe Yunli's left arm was sore from being hit by the back of the knife, but he didn't care so much. He sent the knife from his left hand to his right hand, and flew forward with a yellow dragon's path, landing on Zhao Dong's path, instantly tearing a big crack in the wall. .
boom -
clang clang-
There were swords, lights and swords in the lobby, but the tables, chairs and benches were torn apart in an instant.
Ye Jingtang didn't interfere. He walked to the middle hall, picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water. Then he sat back under the middle hall, watching Yunli's grandmaster exam, and thinking about whether he should take the escape from Beiliang during this trip. All the wanted criminals who came to Beiliang were arrested to prevent this group of people from going unpunished.
Zhao Dong is indeed a master. At first he didn't dare to reveal his master's martial arts skills. But after he showed off the special sword skills of Hubo Lou, his moves became much smoother.
But Zhe Yunli, as Xue Baijin's apprentice, has practiced martial arts that are no less advanced than Ye Jingtang, and his foundation is surprisingly good, and his ability to withstand beatings is amazing, so someone from a second-rate sect like Zhao Dong really can't handle it.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhe Yunli can knock down Zhao Dong within ten moves.
But competition is competition, Jianghu is Jianghu, and high martial arts skills do not necessarily mean a sure win. Jianghu experience is sometimes more important than foundation.
Just when Zheyunli's swords and knives were connected in succession, Zhao Dong was forced into a corner with no room to move. Zhao Dong knew that he was outmatched and was no longer afraid of Ye Jingtang not far away. He held the knife in both hands and seemed to risk his life. But when Zheyunli raised the knife to fight hard, white powder exploded out of the sleeves of his slashing hands with a "bang~" sound.
Zhe Yunli concentrated all his attention on the moves. He was caught off guard and was instantly covered with lime powder. He felt bad and immediately flew back.
Zhao Dong also took this opportunity to throw the golden ring knife towards the Night Terror Hall, ran towards the door and shouted angrily:
"come..."
huh~
A soft sound.
Ye Jingtang, who was drinking tea, flicked his fingers, and the white porcelain cup lid flew out, drew a semicircular arc in the hall, flew around the pillars to the door, and flashed past Zhao Dong, who was escaping at full speed. .
chah~
Boom!
The white porcelain cup lid was nailed to the door frame, and it penetrated more than three-thirds of the way into the wood. You could see that the edge was stained with blood red.
The words Zhao Dong just spoke stopped abruptly. After running forward for two steps, he fell to his knees on the steps with a plop. He covered his throat with his hands. A large amount of blood seeped out between his fingers. He looked back at the bamboo hat leaning under the nave. The man's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Cough, cough, pee, pee, pee..."
Zhe Yunli had lime sprinkled on his face. He originally wanted to chase him, but found that the Night Terror Hall was easily wiped out, so he stopped at the door and kept patting his clothes and coughing.
Ye Jingtang didn't pay attention to the trash fish, put down the tea cup, came to the front and took the long knife:
"Good fight. Pay more attention to these little tricks next time. If I hadn't been here today, you would have suffered a loss. Go out and wash up first, and I'll clean up this place."
Zhe Yunli felt that this person was a bit despicable, but since his neck was wiped, there was no point in cursing because he couldn't open his eyes because he was choked, so he ran out quickly.
plop~
Zhao Dong might have been too frustrated. He covered his throat, bit the blood and spoke hoarsely:
"Who...are you...?"
"The Nightmare Hall."
"..."
Zhao Dong's evil beast-like eyes were obviously stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly understood. Before he could show any other expression, his body fell down.
Thump~
After Ye Jingtang waited for Zhao Dong to be dead, he processed all the traces on the walls, tables, chairs, and corpse to prevent experts from seeing the clues and guessing his identity. Then he took the knife and flew out of the courtyard...
