Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 23 Killing in the Night

"you?"

Yin Chengtao and Yin Xuan were both surprised, with doubts on their faces.

Yin Qi was not annoyed and nodded: "Yes, it's me. Dad, brother, I have changed my mind, and my martial arts have improved greatly. Usually a dozen strong men can't get close to me, so what's the difficulty in taking charge of group training?"

Yin Chengtao was still suspicious and turned to look at Master Chen.

Master Chen said: "Master, the second young master has extremely outstanding talent in martial arts and is now a master of Ming Jin. If it were anyone else, he might not be able to achieve this in a lifetime, not to mention a few years."

Yin Chengtao was startled again. He thought for a long time and finally made a decision: "Okay, in that case, then you will be responsible. Tomorrow I will go to the prefect's Yamen and apply for group training. Qier, don't just focus on practicing martial arts, either. Read the military manual."

"Yes, Dad!"

Yin Qi was delighted and hurriedly bowed to accept the promise.

Organizing group training and mastering the barrel of a gun were originally part of his plan.

After deciding on the countermeasures, Yin Chengtao also relaxed.

He called the waiter, removed the bowls and chopsticks, and at the same time ordered a table of food and drinks.

When we returned to Yin Mansion, it was almost ten o'clock.

.........

It was late at night, and Yin Hai had fallen asleep, talking in his sleep.

Yin Qi changed into night clothes, covered his face, held a knife, quietly climbed over the wall and left the yard, then carefully avoided the patrolling guards and left the Yin Mansion.

Then, he went straight to the Caohe Gang.

In his former life, he was a prodigal who fooled around outside all day long. There was really nothing he didn't know about in Shaoxing Prefecture.

In order to deal with Lu Xianba, although Yin Chengtao has adopted his suggestions, Yin Qi actually has no idea when the group training will be completed.

In the late Manchu Dynasty, the officialdom was dim and anything could happen.

What's more, even if it can be done quickly, he will kill Lu Xianba tonight.

With a sharp weapon in the body, the murderous heart starts from the beginning.

He does not allow any mistakes to occur and must nip danger in the bud.

According to Master Chen, although Lu Xianba is a master of Anjin, he has neglected to practice and is probably the weakest in Anjin. If he were bare-handed, he might not be a match for the opponent.

But don't forget, what he is really good at is swordsmanship, and it is "Huangji Swordsmanship".

In the world of Fengshen, those are the top sword skills, not to mention in this world of low martial arts, so Yin Qi is confident to kill the opponent with his sword skills.

As for whether Lu Xianba was killed and the crisis in the Yin family was resolved, Yin Chengtao would not hold team training. Yin Qi was not worried about this, because Yin Chengtao was not a short-sighted person.

After experiencing this crisis, Yin Chengtao will become more determined in team training.

Because in such troubled times, how can one protect his family and wealth without force?
As for his assassination of Lu Xianba, neither Yin Chengtao nor others, nor anyone else, would have thought that it was him who did it, because he had never shown his sword skills in front of outsiders.

As for the knife in his hand, he bought it for fun a few years ago, and it was already rusty.

But killing is enough.

…………

The headquarters of the Caohe Gang is located in the north of the city.

It is said to be the headquarters of the Caohe Gang, but in fact it is more like Lu Xianba's home, a courtyard covering an area of ​​three or four acres.

When Yin Qi arrived at the Caohe Gang, it was already midnight.

A half-waning moon hangs in the sky, and the stars are dim, casting a hazy light.

Quietly entering the yard, the surroundings were quiet and pitch black. There wasn't even anyone on night watch or patrolling around. The defense was extremely loose.

Yin Qi shook his head. The Caohe Gang was really used to being domineering and had completely lost their vigilance.Even so, he did not relax his vigilance.

Generally speaking, the master's family lives in the middle courtyard, which can be inferred from the number of servants around.

Just like Yin Qi himself, there is only one Yin Hai in the courtyard.

There are seven or eight servants in Yin Chengtao's courtyard. This is because Yin's mother took Yin Shishi to Shanghai to visit relatives. Otherwise, there would be more than a dozen servants in the courtyard.

Soon, Yin Qi came to the middle courtyard and found that there was still light in a room.

Under the light, you can clearly see two figures reflected on the wallpaper, and there are faint voices coming out, including Lu Xianba's voice.

Yin Qi's eyes narrowed and he quietly came to the window, where he could clearly hear the conversation coming from inside.

One was Lu Xianba, and the other’s voice was also very familiar.

It's Chen Rui!
Lu Xianba: Master Chen, I have risked my life to deal with the Yin family. Don’t let anything go wrong on your side.Although the Yin family has withdrawn from officialdom, Yin Chengtao must still have some connections.

Chen Rui: Don't worry, Gang Leader Lu, the Yin family has connections, how can my Chen family not?What's more, our Chen family has already connected with the Holy Church, and Father William has also coveted the Yin family's wealth for a long time. With Father William here, you can rest assured about officialdom matters.

Lu Xianba: That’s good.But Master Chen of the Yin family is in some trouble.This person is at least the pinnacle of Anjin, and may even be the master of Huajin.Without getting rid of him, it will be difficult to deal with the Yin family.

Chen Rui (sneering): No matter how powerful a mere warrior is, can he be stronger than a musket?My father has already said that if you go to the Holy Church and ask Father William for a musket, if you are ambushed with more than a dozen muskets, no matter how powerful you are, you will die.

Lu Xianba: This is the best.After destroying the Yin family, I hope you can keep your promise.

Chen Rui: Don’t worry, Father William gets the big deal and wants all the cash from the Yin family; I, the Chen family, want the tea gardens and factories, and all other properties will be yours, including that little beauty Yin Shishi.

Lu Xianba: Hehe, I can’t forget that little beauty ever since I met her once.

Listening to the conversation between the two people in the room, Yin Qi's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Fortunately he came tonight, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

At the same time, I also understood why the Caohe Gang was so arrogant and bold, as if they were trying to conquer the Yin family. It turned out that there were foreign devils from the Chen family and the church standing behind them.

Not to mention Father William of the church, Chen Rui is his sworn enemy, and the Chen family is also the sworn enemy of the Yin family.

When it comes to industry, the Chen family is not much weaker than the Yin family.

Yin Qi did not take action rashly and rushed into the room because the space in the room was small and not suitable for sword skills. At the same time, it would take some time for Lu Xianba to react.

Although he was sure to kill Lu Xianba, this was the headquarters of the Caohe Gang after all.

Once there is a stalemate, a large number of helpers will come.

Thinking of this, he took out a silver dollar from his arms and threw it towards the opposite side. It hit the wall with a snap.

The sound was not very loud, but it was particularly harsh in this silent night.

"Who!"

Lu Xianba shouted fiercely, and almost instinctively, he rushed out in a few steps.

The secret discussion between him and Chen Rui cannot be leaked even to the gang, otherwise it will be troublesome if it is revealed.

Just as Lu Xianba rushed out of the room, Yin Qi also moved.

He kicked his feet on the ground, and someone jumped out and struck Lu Xianba with a rusty knife.

Lu Xianba also reacted instantly. He was horrified and quickly dodged and turned around, but then he saw countless knife shadows coming from all directions, with a fierce and breathtaking momentum.

Suddenly, he seemed to see an unparalleled heavenly sword striking towards the center of his eyebrows.

Lu Xianba shouted fiercely, a look of madness flashed in his eyes, and he actually summoned his blood and used his arms to resist the sword's light, because he had also practiced horizontal training, and although he was not invulnerable, he still had a strong defensive power.

He can only take this sneak attack, and then he can completely make a comeback.
