"It seems to be over."

About half an hour later, Yang Yi, the leader of the black crows, looked at the manor under the night in the distance and whispered.

"seem?"

Zhang Qigong glanced at Yang Yi coldly, and his calm tone was slightly trembling, perhaps because he had not fully recovered from the nameless anger just now.

Seeing this, Yang Ji had a look of embarrassment on his face. Suddenly, he saw the manor house in the distance, as if someone was holding a torch and shaking it a few times.

This is obviously the secret code of the black crows in the manor.

Seeing this, Yang Yi reminded Zhang Qigong firmly: "It's over."

"..."

Zhang Qigong took a deep look at Yang Yi, and then sighed melancholy. His originally indifferent tone also took on a hint of sleepiness: "Let's go, let me go and take a look."

"yes!"

After a while, Zhang Qigong, Yang Yi, Gao Xianhou Lu Xin and Crow Five, surrounded by nearly a hundred Black Crows, walked out of the small forest and walked towards the manor courtyard under the night cover in the distance.

Yang Yi was right, the battle in the distant courtyard was indeed over. No, four or five black crows had been sent out and were standing at the main entrance of the courtyard holding torches, waiting for Zhang Qigong and others.

arrival.

After stopping for a moment at the main entrance of the villa, Zhang Qigong looked at the open main entrance and let out a slight breath.

This main door was not opened after the battle, but was opened as soon as Ghost and the Black Crows sneaked into the manor. At that time, Zhang Qigong vaguely heard the sound of the door opening.

"...Growing up, this is the first time I saw an assassin sneaking in through the front door."

After taking a look at the four or five black crows with faint traces of blood on their bodies, Zhang Qigong reached out and took a torch from Yang Yi's hand, and walked into the manor without saying a word.

On the other hand, Lu Xin, the Marquis of Gao Xian, asked incredulously: "Could it be that the minions trapped by Gong Zheng in this manor's courtyard..."

"They should all be killed." Yang Yi handed a torch to Gao Xianhou Lu Xin.

"There are at least two to three hundred people in this villa, and there are only about 20 ghosts and others..."

Lu Xin, the Marquis of Gao Xian, swallowed his saliva, feeling a little numb on his scalp, and quickly followed Zhang Qigong.

At this time, Zhang Qigong had already walked into the courtyard of the village and stopped near two corpses not far away.

He knelt down and inspected the two corpses, and found that the two corpses had their eyes wide open, as if they were dead.

When Zhang Qigong held up the torch in his hand and inspected the fatal wounds on the corpses, he found that both of them had their throats cut and their hearts stabbed, which were standard assassin killing techniques.

"I'm afraid these two people were really assassinated by the ghosts and other black crows..."

Zhang Qigong said secretly.

At this time, Gao Xianhou Lu Xin's slightly trembling words came from the side: "There is another corpse here..."

After Zhang Qigong heard this, he walked up to take a look, and sure enough he found a body lying at the entrance of the courtyard corridor about ten steps away.

The death condition of this corpse was much more miserable than the two corpses just now. It seemed that something sharp had been stabbed into the eye, so that the left eye was stained with blood, but the fatal wound was still on the heart.

.

"When I was killing those two people, I was discovered by a third person. Well, from a distance of about ten steps, I casually threw out a short blade and pierced the third person's left eye. Then I quickly stepped forward and covered the other person's mouth and nose. At the same time,

Quickly stabbing the opponent's heart to death...it's kind of interesting.』

Ya Wu, who was following Zhang Qigong, raised his eyebrows slightly.

Like most of the Green Crows, although Crow Five also looked down on the Black Crows from the bottom of his heart, he had never underestimated the personal strength of the Black Crows. He had to admit that this gang of murderers had no power under the leadership of Black Spider, the leader of the Black Crows.

Under the brutal training, he has developed superb assassination skills.

Even if he is one of the leaders of the Blue Crows, if he meets "Ghost", the captain of the Black Crows who is qualified to have a code name, he will probably have to fight hard.

The ranking method of the Blue Crows is based on the order of comprehensive ability evaluation, that is, the comprehensive abilities of stealth, Qiaozhuang, and intelligence gathering. Starting from "Crow Eleven", the Blue Crow with the highest comprehensive ability score will be ranked higher.

.

But the Black Crows are different. There is no ranking in the Black Crows. There are only two ways of distinguishing "with codenames" and "without codenames." Ordinary "crows (ordinary members)" are not even qualified to have codenames.

Only those Black Crows like "Ghost" who are qualified to have code names are the real backbone and elite of the Black Crows.

As for what method should be used to determine whether one is qualified or not, it is very simple, that is, a competition with real swords and guns.

Only those black crows with the most exquisite killing methods are qualified to have code names and stand out from the crowd of crows.

It cannot be denied that the promotion method of the Black Crows is much more cruel than that of the Green Crows.

At this time, Zhang Qigong led Gao Xianhou Lu Xin towards the inner courtyard. However, on the path near the backyard, Zhang Qigong suddenly stopped because there were corpses lying on the ground on the road.

A rough estimate is that there are about ten of them.

"……sharp."

Suddenly, Zhang Qigong vaguely heard a faint sound of praise coming from behind him. He turned his head and realized that it seemed to be the praise coming from Ya Wu.

Out of curiosity, Zhang Qigong made a gesture to Ya Wu, hoping that the latter would explain on his behalf.

Crow Five glanced at the left side, where there were several black crows participating in the operation, either standing or sitting on the railings of the corridor, looking at him with half-smiling smiles.

Seeing this, Yawu snorted secretly. After nodding towards Zhang Qigong, he illuminated the ground with a torch and whispered: "The one who took action... should be three black crows, and the leader of the black crows took the lead.

Taking action, this person first killed one of the thieves at this position, then used the three-edged thorn in his hand to remove the weapon cut by the second thief. When he passed by, he crushed the opponent's throat, and then threw it at this position.

He shot the three-edged thorn in his hand and killed the third thief. At the same time, he dodged the blade of the fourth thief sideways and quickly broke the opponent's neck..."

As he slowly stated, Zhang Qigong and Gao Xianhou Lu Xin opened their eyes wide and couldn't believe it.

However, the black crows in the left corridor started laughing strangely.

Seeing this, Ya Wu frowned and said with a bit of displeasure: "What? Am I right?"

After hearing this, one of the Black Crows laughed strangely twice, raised a finger, and said in a mocking tone: "The only one who takes action here is the ghost boss."

"This is impossible!" Ya Wu said with a frown.

As soon as he finished speaking, another Black Crow member said calmly: "At that time, the ghost boss said that whoever dared to rob would be killed together with that person, so I just stood aside and watched...

"As he spoke, he curled his lips, bumped his companion with his shoulder, and mocked: "Look at how confident this kid looked just now."

"Hehehehe..." The other black crows also looked at the five crow monsters and laughed.

Listening to this harsh laughter, a pale color flashed across Yaowu's face, and at the same time, deep down in his heart, he raised his evaluation of Ghost to a higher level.

He had to admit that the Black Crows with code names like Ghost could really crush the Blue Crows of the same level in terms of strength alone.

Beside, Zhang Qigong and Gao Xianhou Lu Xin couldn't believe their ears.

What? All the dozen or so people here were killed by that ghost? And this ghost only spent a dozen breaths of work?

"...Awesome! It's really awesome!"

Even if it was Zhang Qigong, his breathing could not help but become slightly heavier at this time.

On the way to the inner courtyard, Zhang Qigong and others could encounter corpses from time to time. Sometimes they could see one or two black crows recycling their weapons next to the corpses, or shooting arrows from their sleeves, looking at the gang.

Zhang Qigong's calm expression made Zhang Qigong even more shocked: Aren't these people even the slightest bit nervous?

Suddenly, the front suddenly opened up, and it turned out that we were in the inner courtyard.

However, just as Zhang Qigong was about to walk into the courtyard, he suddenly heard the Gao Xianhou Lu Xin beside him scream in surprise.

"how?"

Zhang Qigong, who was startled, glanced at Gao Xianhou Lu Xin with some dissatisfaction, but saw the latter swallowing his saliva and pointing in the direction of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Zhang Qigong turned to look at the courtyard. Only then did he see in shock that there were corpses strewn all over the courtyard. Even with a cursory glance, there were at least about a hundred people here.

"...What a melee!"

Looking at the shocking scene that looked like a battlefield, Zhang Qigong saw several Black Crows in the courtyard wiping their weapons, so he asked with some anxiety: "How many of the Black Crows were killed or injured?"

"Deaths and injuries?" About a dozen steps away from Zhang Qigong, a Black Crow member looked at Zhang Qigong strangely, and then said disdainfully: "Captain Zhang, don't be ridiculous, just these people? How can they kill me, Black Crow?"

All the brothers?"

"...In other words, none of the twenty-odd black crows were harmed?"

Zhang Qigong felt his whole body's hair stand on end, and an inexplicable excitement surged into his heart.

"Too powerful! This group of black crows is really too powerful! ...Only a dozen or so black crows faced an estimated two to three hundred thieves in this manor, and in such a short period of time, they...

Just kill all the opponents... The Black Crows are truly worthy of being on par with the Blue Crows! No, in terms of strength alone, the Black Crows are stronger than the Blue Crows!』

Zhang Qigong clenched his fists excitedly.

For a long time, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, took a long breath, and showed a kind smile on his indifferent face: "Very good! Very good! After I go back, I will definitely reward you heavily!... Now, that Gong Zheng

Where are you now?"

"Gong Zheng?" The black crow member was a little confused: "What Gong Zheng?"

Zhang Qigong's heart skipped a beat, and he changed his expression and said, "It's that 'Mr. Gong'. Didn't I mention it to you in the inner courtyard today during the day?"

"It seems that something like this happened..." the black crow member recalled, stroking his chin.

"What does "it seems like something like this" mean?"
