Kingdom of Another World - Chapter 345
Feizi fainted before Zhang Zhou came. His injury is very serious. It can’t be solved with some wound medicine. Zhang Zhou did not dare to delay time, nor did he care about other arrangements. He immediately ordered everyone to move to the boundary of liemaguan and find a good place to properly place Feizi.
He led you Nan Qi and others to Lijian town. He didn’t think what Li Chongxian said was just a threat to himself. In the current situation, he couldn’t choose to go to war with the Li family. For the sake of safety, he had to choose strategic retreat first and withdraw his hands from Lijian pass.
In advance, I never thought there would be such an urgent situation. I didn’t prepare too many horses. After such a long-distance attack, the horses couldn’t afford it. Finally, even you Nanqi was defeated by Yan Xinxin. He obediently asked Zhang Zhou and two women, one man and two horses, to rush to Lijian town first, and others could only walk later!
……
Lijian town is the most mixed area in the Tang Dynasty. I’m afraid even demons and ghosts can’t make it quiet. However, with the news of “a large number of border troops mobilized” and the sudden departure of a large number of personnel in the town, some well-informed people firmly believe that the border troops are going to completely liquidate a major force in the town. This inference spread like wildfire, And it became more and more true. Finally, it even became that the border army wanted to clean up all the people with unclean backgrounds. An uncontrollable panic quickly swept the whole town.
In a very short period of time, the usual chaotic and noisy scene of the small town suddenly changed. All the shops were closed, and there was no living creature in the streets!
Pang Datou is a character who has seen swords and rivers of blood. At the moment, facing the depressed and quiet street scene, especially the small building on the street, he feels that his legs and stomach are a little soft.
It was not easy for him to restrain his tension and bow his hands respectfully to several people around him.
“Hard work!”
No one paid attention to him and walked to the other end of the long street.
They are all killers. For them, the task today is simple. They don’t need to think about the time, place, character background, weather and wind direction, nor do they need to hide, camouflage and lurk… They just need to go into the small building opposite and kill a few people! Even if the other party is the best in sword town? The leader of the force is also a powerful killer. The task is the same and simple!
There are five of them, four men and one woman. The woman is a thin, rickety old woman. She stands in the middle of several people, indicating her highest status.
“Today’s actions are sharp!” the old woman said hoarsely.
“Don’t worry, grandma. It’s estimated that we can finish the task and leave in less than a incense stick!”
The old woman didn’t respond to the scholar like young man, but turned to a middle-aged man with sharp noses and said, “monkey, you’re on your way!”
“OK, second aunt!”
“Earth Dragon, back!”
“I see, second aunt!” answered a shorter man.
“Mute, you follow me through the front door!”
Mute is a strong man with a mask!
“Grandma, where am I?” the scholar asked anxiously.
“You always follow the rules and be free!” the old woman answered softly.
“OK!” the young man happily closed the fan in his hand and disappeared in a moment.
“Mute, open the door!”
As the mute walked to the gate of the small building, the monkey jumped up and jumped on the fence on the second floor. The Earth Dragon also jumped out and circled behind the building.
Instead of pushing the door directly, the mute glanced back and forth at the door, then put his hand gently on the door and stroked it very gently. Everything was very careful.
After he determined that the door was not plugged in, he suddenly pushed the door. At the same time, his body retreated sharply. A sword light flashed from the crack of the open door and skipped the front chest of the mute. Even if the mute retreated more than half an inch, it would be the result of blood splashing on the spot.
The mute body flashed to the side again, and a figure flew past behind him and jumped directly into the house!
The old scholar hit the air with a sword without any emotional fluctuation. His backhand was another sword and cut at the shadow who rushed in. However, when the sword was half generated, his body suddenly withdrew and avoided the other party’s ghost attack. Obviously, the other party’s body method was unusual. The old scholar sneered and turned his sword style. He changed the long-range attack strategy to the method of close combat, and fought with the old woman who was very fast. By the time the mute came in, the two had finished several fights and separated again.
“Black Tailed Fox? I didn’t expect you not only didn’t die, but also hid in sword town!”
The circle is different, and the people you know are naturally different. If you don’t really integrate into the circle, you can’t really know the water depth, which is high and which is low!
Although the old scholar has washed his hands in the golden basin, he still knows more about the pots and pans in the killer circle.
Killer is a very special industry group. There is no strict and unified organization and the threshold is not high. Anyone who wants to do it can enter the industry as long as he can find an employer, but it is very difficult to really get a reputation in this industry.
In a sense, they are fighting against the whole Jianghu. They not only need to have strong skills, but also need to be able to hide their identity and survive in the end. After countless times of honing and elimination, only a handful of people have achieved great fame.
The old scholar is well-known in the killer world, but he is not the only one. There are several top killer organizations in the Jianghu. They have some contact with each other, but they are definitely not friends, but competitors; Mutual attention is not because of admiration, but to be on guard! Approximation is a relationship of “being famous for each other, but not communicating with each other”!
No matter whether they have died in a corner or have gone into seclusion, in short, ten of the most famous killers in the Jianghu have been ranked in the past 20 years.
The old scholar ranked fifth, while the black Tailed Fox ranked third!
“Hum! I’ve seen you no less than six times in recent years. You can’t recognize me. It just means you’re blind!”
“I’m really dazed, or I won’t let you live to this day!”
“Today I’ll give you a chance to make up for your mistakes!”
“Then don’t I have to say thank you? What’s the price for killing me in the current market?”
“No money!”
“Hahaha, didn’t you break your own rules? How can a black Tailed Fox be sent in vain?”
“Is it enough that you killed my brother?”
“I see. Is your brother the old guy who died on the wuxia mountain? I was surprised to learn about it later. That guy had drunk several times in my tavern, but I didn’t see it. I have to thank your brother. If it weren’t for him, I really couldn’t find out that you were hiding in sword town!”
“What if you find out? You’re the one who died today!”
“That’s not necessarily true. Do you really think you’ve been hiding flawlessly? Didn’t you disguise the old beggar who begged at the door of my tavern a few days ago?”
The black Tailed Fox’s skin is very black and its eyes are as slender as a fox. Now it narrows up and almost disappears.
“So, you are already ready!”
As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of footsteps. Then the curtain behind the door was raised and a man with ragged clothes and withered grass came in. If he squatted at an angle in the yard, he would rarely be seen as a person.
He saw a short and thick guy in his hand. The guy fell to the ground with his hands and feet and five or six crossbows and arrows on his body. He seemed to be out of breath.
The man threw the body of the Earth Dragon to the ground, looked contemptuously at the black Tailed Fox, said nothing, turned and left again!
Then there was a violent fight upstairs. The process was very short and soon calmed down. Then the monkey’s body was thrown down the stairs.
“Black Tailed Fox, we are all people who make a living on the night road. Are you a little too arrogant to take people and line up outside my door and shout?”
The black Tailed Fox didn’t show any sadness, even if the two people were her relatives.
“It’s not that I despise you, but that you’re not worth it!”
“It’s so big. I really regard myself as the third in the world!”
“Hehe, it doesn’t matter if it’s the third. It’s not difficult to kill you today!”
The old scholar “Oh”, suddenly threw his sword and stabbed the mute standing at the door. The black Tailed Fox reacted in an instant and intercepted the old scholar. The old scholar didn’t mean to break through the obstruction by force, but vomited along his body. The sword flew away from his hand and stabbed the mute. The backhand took out a sword from his waist and whirled to the black Tailed Fox, The black Tailed Fox felt that the chilly momentum of the sword was definitely different. As expected, he gave up the strong attack and dodged away.
The mute’s reaction to the flying sword was very flat. He didn’t choose to retreat as he did outside the door, but turned out his palm. His posture was like catching fish in the water. He completely ignored the sharpness of the sword spirit and pinched it directly on the edge of the sword. It seemed that he didn’t completely pinch it, making the sword continue to slide forward between his fingers. But before and after passing by the fingertips, there are completely different changes. The sword Qi attached to the sword is completely erased by the fingers as if it had been skinned!
After the old scholar pushed back the black Tailed Fox, he lifted up his sword and gave birth to a sword like a chain. The mute stepped up, punched in the air and smashed into the killing opportunity!
The fist and sword did not touch each other, but the sound of explosion between them sounded intensively, and the trace obviously spread to the old scholar. The seemingly dull mute smashed the old scholar’s sword Qi with one punch and triggered a series of gas explosions!
As soon as the old scholar’s face changed, he flashed back to avoid the killing of the gas explosion, and the mute didn’t take advantage of the situation to pursue.
The old scholar looked at the broken sword in his hand. It was a sharp weapon given to him by Zhang Zhou. Unexpectedly, it was broken by the other party in the air! He looked up at the mute and said faintly, “no wonder the black Tailed Fox has such courage. It turns out that you are her reliance!”
The proud black Tailed Fox did not deny the old scholar’s statement, but said faintly, “it’s too late to know now!”
“I don’t understand what one thing is! Why do you love to be a battered woodlouse?”
Since the old scholar determined the power hidden behind his huge head, the trend of suppressing encirclement and suppression can be called pressing step by step, leaving no breathing room for the other party. But the other party seems to have no ability to resist at all, and blindly shrinks and retreats.
But judging from the mute’s skill, the other party is completely capable of counterattack. There must be a reason to pretend to be slaughtered.
“In the past, I chose to forbear not because I was afraid of you, but because you still have the value of living!”
The mute spoke. The old scholar didn’t think there was anything strange.
“Now?”
“Now you’re dead!”
“Can you let me know why? If you’re afraid I’ll run away, you can’t say it!”
“It doesn’t hurt to talk about it. You can’t run away! If I guess right, Li Chongxian must have started on you. I’m afraid he doesn’t do things neatly enough, so I’ll help him, so as to ensure that he can stimulate the Kyushu Marquis and trigger an all-round war between Kyushu commerce and Li Chongxian! Do you understand?”
“Are you enemies of the Li family?”
“Wrong, very wrong. We have to deal with Li Chongxian, not the Li family!”
“Is there any difference?” the old scholar was puzzled.
“Of course! Because the Li family does not mean a Li Chongxian, but also us!”
The mute took off his mask and showed a face that was very strange to the old scholar.
Since Lilong, the Li family has become the largest family in Longzhou! Li Long has married more than ten wives and has a large number of children, but the order is different and the lineage is different. Only the lineage can inherit the family property. According to the requirements of the ancestral teachings, the lineage can neither leave Longzhou nor inherit the family property, so he can only rely on the “charity” of the lineage to survive. However, after a hundred years of inheritance, there are more and more children, and the lineage is also overwhelmed, so he stopped the due relief, Let them rely on their abilities to survive. In Longzhou, being a soldier is the most direct choice and the most convenient way out. A considerable number of concubines choose to join the border army. As a result, none of them are famous, and most of them die on the border battlefield.
There are also some descendants of the concubines who did not choose to become soldiers, but found another lucrative career – to be a killer!
Although the survival rate is not high, these people have made their way a little and accumulated a lot of wealth. People who are unwilling to live like this from generation to generation begin to use this money to make some changes – for example, building a town!
Sword town was born from this! He grew up from nothing, grew up from childhood, and made great contributions to the Li family. However, he chose to secretly manipulate forces and seek benefits in Lijian town because he was afraid to make public his discontent. As for their desire to hide their identity here, there is no difficulty.
