Kyoto is filled with a tense atmosphere, and the spies are becoming more and more depressed. As the most powerful spy network in the Chu Kingdom, the dignified Kyoto has become a desperate place for spies. The purple-clad people in Kyoto Prefecture even secretly
Rumor has it that the official silver was probably not stolen by human hands, but perhaps by heavenly thieves.
Just like ice disappearing and clouds disappearing, the official banknote was stolen without leaving a trace.
Xue Poye has been in the Hubu Bank for four days. There are still more than ten people guarding the empty bank. The remaining Yulin guards have all moved to the south bank. After all, there are still a large number of official banks there.
If there is no theft, there cannot be another theft incident anyway. All the official silver in the empty warehouse here has been stolen, so it seems that it is not very important.
According to Teng Xifeng's wishes, it would be best to leave two or three people on Kongku's side and the other Yulin guards to guard Nanku with all their strength.
However, Xue Poye always felt that there seemed to be some secrets hidden in Kongku. If they all left, these secrets would disappear. Ever since he learned that the Hubu Bank was built by the Gongsun family, deep down in his heart,
An idea that I thought was extremely ridiculous came up: "Could this robbery of silver be done by the Gongsun family?"
But even the Gongsun family couldn't do it so quietly, so Xue Poye's curiosity became more and more intense day by day.
It was snowing again, and the snowflakes were mixed with the cold air. There were not many lights in the Yinku, and the empty warehouse was even darker and deserted. Xue Poye led his brothers to drink in a small stone house in the yard of the Yinku to keep warm.
By midnight, a foot of snow had accumulated on the ground on the entire Kongku side. Although it was midnight, the white snow surface and the few wall fires complemented each other, making the Kongku side look even more beautiful.
Brighter.
Xue Poye drank a lot of strong wine, but his body was warm and tight. Maybe he was too tired. Many Yulin brothers had already fallen asleep in the room.
Seeing everyone sleeping, Xue Poye couldn't help but smile and got up, adding some more charcoal to the stove.
He walked to the small window and looked out at the empty yard, covered with snow everywhere. Over there, a row of tall and majestic warehouses were lined up, and the huge stone doors were tightly closed.
Looking at the majestic warehouse, Xue Poye was a little amazed. At the beginning of the time travel, he never thought that he would one day see the economic foundation of the Great Chu Kingdom, and never thought that such a warehouse full of institutions would be robbed of astronomical amounts of money.
Giant silver.
He took a deep breath and suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He couldn't help but frown and looked back. He saw more than a dozen Yulin Guards lying around in the room, and some were even snoring very loudly.
Xue Poye immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a so-called "Great Yuan Pill", quickly put it into his mouth, and swallowed it down his throat.
There was a cold feeling at first, but soon, the sharp pain in the chest slowly disappeared, and everything returned to calm.
Xue Poye's face turned pale, he put away the bottle and clenched his fists. He had taken three Great Yuan Pills. He had already mastered the feeling of Bi Oil's shocking effects, so once he did, he immediately took out the Great Yuan Pills and interpreted them.
That Hua Xian...!
A sneer appeared on the corner of Xue Poye's mouth.
Hua Xian wanted to use this method to firmly control Xue Poye and become his pawn, but he did not understand that Xue Poye had died once. Under his seemingly gentle face, he had a strong character.
Xue Poye had never been threatened. Hua Xian's method made Xue Poye hate Hua Xian extremely. More importantly, it completely affected Xue Poye's rethinking of his own value.
Before this, Xue Poye had always regarded himself as the leader of Qinglianzhao. He felt that he had the responsibility to protect Qinglianzhao. At least for the sake of the Green Lady, he would not rebel against Qinglianzhao.
It’s just that today, the Bi You Jing Du Yao who is involved in Zhong Hua Xian’s conspiracy is Qing Lian Zhao’s military advisor. Since he is so despicable, Xue Poye has to ask himself: "Am I going to become a pawn of such an organization? I will
Do you want to dedicate yourself to the goals of people like Hua Xian?" He thought about this question for a long time, and the answer he came up with was very simple: "If he is good to me, I will be good to him; if he is bad to me, I will be bad to him.
Anyone who wants to take advantage of me will definitely be taken advantage of by me."
Qinglianzhao wants to use me, so I can naturally use Qinglianzhao!
This is the law of survival in this era. Perhaps in the past, the splendid prosperity in Hangzhou made Xue Poye hide a lot of the cold and cunning in his heart, but what he has seen and heard in Kyoto these days, he has deeply felt that if he wants to
Living well requires a lot of wisdom, and there are many traps to worry about.
Xue Poye stretched out and was about to take a rest. At this moment, he faintly heard a strange sound. The sound was the sound of stepping on the snow. It seemed to be far away, and the sound of the walkway was still there.
Very light.
An ordinary person would definitely not be able to hear such a sound, but Xue Poye's hearing ability when practicing "Ecstasy Heart Technique" is not comparable to that of ordinary people. In addition, in the middle of the night, everything is quiet, so Xue Poye was surprised by it.
Hear clearly.
The sound of stepping on the snow became quieter and quieter. Xue Poye felt extremely confused. He must know that this Hubu Bank is a special secluded place and has always been tightly sealed. Even if the Hubu Bank was stolen, it is now an empty warehouse.
, but the defenses along the way are still strict. Ordinary people cannot get close to it no matter what. The people who can get close to the bank are definitely not ordinary people.
What's more, why did someone come to the Hubu Bank at this time in the middle of the night?
Xue Poye's mind was trembling. He quickly walked over and blew out the lights in the room. It was suddenly dark. Even the light from the heater was extinguished by Xue Poye in a few clicks.
"Sir, what happened?" Alert voices rang out in the darkness.
These are the elites of the Yulin camp, the elite soldiers of Da Chu. Not only are they clever in their methods, but they are also extremely alert. When the fire goes out, they remind each other and all ten people wake up.
The one who made the noise was Colonel Furukawa of the Imperial Guard. Xue Poye extinguished the fire, which was unusual. Everyone knew that something was wrong.
Xue Poye whispered: "Someone is coming, everyone be prepared."
In the darkness, when they heard the sound of "chachacha", all the feather forest guards drew their knives in their hands and were on full alert. In the darkness, even their breathing became much softer. They were also understanding people. Someone entered the bank in the middle of the night.
, this thing is not ordinary.
Xue Poye hid by the window, quietly looking outside and staring at the courtyard door.
There is also a small room at the gate. Two strong men live in it, and they can also be regarded as the gatekeepers here. If Xue Poye hadn't led his people to hide here, then the entire building would have been empty, and only these two strong men would be there.
The strongman guarded it.
The sound of stepping on the snow was getting closer and closer. Xue Poye frowned. Instead of grabbing the saber with his left hand, he held his own cold blade. This is a treasure that can cut iron like mud. In an emergency, it is easier to use than a saber.
Much more.
Finally, a figure leaped down from the high courtyard wall, and Xue Poye was shocked to realize that the person who came did not go through the main entrance, but climbed the wall.
The courtyard wall of the Hubu Bank is different from ordinary walls. The walls of the mansions of dignitaries are already extremely tall, but compared with the walls of the Hubu Bank, they are just dwarfed. This person can
Jumping up the wall easily, this light skill is really extraordinary.
Xue Poye was taken aback and whispered to Gu He next to him: "This person has extremely high martial arts skills. Brothers, be careful. Yes, use bows and arrows. Don't fight in close quarters easily."
The soldiers of the Habayashi Guards naturally carried bows and arrows. Furukawa hurriedly informed everyone in a low voice.
After the figure came down, Xue Poye saw another figure floating down from the wall, and his whole body was shocked. It turned out that there was not only one person coming this time. Five people jumped down from the wall several times in a row, all of them wearing bamboo hats.
Wearing raincoat clothes, they looked like five fishermen. They did not hold any weapons in their hands. They entered the courtyard and looked around quietly. Xue Poye unexpectedly found that these bamboo hats were surrounded by gray gauze scarves.
, under the snowy lights, the wolf-like eyes of those people searched every corner through the gray gauze.
One of the men in bamboo hats had a white ribbon tied on his arm, which looked extremely conspicuous. He waved his hands gently, and the two men in bamboo hats rushed towards the stone house where the two strong men lived like ghosts.
The other three stood quietly on the snow, motionless, looking at the stone house.
I saw two men in bamboo hats running to the stone house, one on the left and one on the right, leaning against the wall. One of them reached out and knocked lightly on the door. There was no movement inside for a while, so the man in bamboo hats knocked twice more, and finally the room heard some movement.
The door of the house opened, and a strong man muttered: "Who is this... in the middle of the night?" Before he could say the word "gentle" in his mouth, a man in a bamboo hat rushed forward with lightning speed, and Xue
There was only a flash of cold light in the night, and the strong man suddenly covered his throat. His body had collapsed, and he was afraid that his throat had been cut.
When the strong man fell, the two men in bamboo hats rushed straight into the stone house without stopping. In just a moment, they came out quickly.
Xue Poye knew that in this short period of time, the two of them must have defeated another strong man. From this point of view, the person who came was an enemy rather than a friend. There was going to be a fight tonight.
It’s just that Xue Poye couldn’t understand what these people were doing in the empty warehouse. Could it be because of the missing batch of silver? These people were like ghosts. Whose people did they belong to?
"Search around to see if there are any idlers!" said the man in a bamboo hat with a white ribbon on his arm: "As long as they are alive, kill them all." His voice was extremely cold.
"Yes!" The four men in bamboo hats agreed and scattered like the wind. One of them actually walked quickly towards the stone house where Xue Poye was.
Furukawa also saw it nearby and whispered: "Sir, are we...?" He was also an elite member of the Yulin Forest and had been through many dangerous situations, so he was calm and calm without a trace of panic.
Xue Poye was pleased with the quality of Yu Linwei and said in his ear: "You stay behind the door, wait for that person to come in, you and I will attack from both sides, trying to kill him with one blow, don't let him scream, remember, this person's martial arts skills
Not bad, we must hurt him vitally."
The five men in bamboo hats who sneaked into the warehouse this time are not ordinary people. Xue Poye has calculated that although there are no weak opponents in the Yulin Guards, and there are even twice the number of his own, if they really have to fight to the death, there is a high probability that they will fight to the death.
If you are not an opponent of the other side, you are very likely to face the danger of annihilation.
Naturally, his martial arts progressed very quickly, and it was no problem that ordinary Habayashi guards could deal with three or four. But when he saw the man in a bamboo hat with a white ribbon on his arm, he knew that the opponent's kung fu was far better than his own, and maybe one day he could do it.
Relying on the skills of "Book of Ecstasy" to surpass the opponent, but it is definitely not today.
In an instant, the man in the bamboo hat had arrived in front of the stone house, walked around the stone house, and even looked in from the window. Fortunately, the Yulin guards held their breath and hid motionlessly in the darkness, so
The room was extremely calm, as if there was no one there.
The man in the bamboo hat probably didn't expect that there were more than ten Yulin Guards in the room, so he didn't take a closer look. He just took a casual look and left.
Xue Poye breathed a sigh of relief, but the man in the bamboo hat only took two steps back, then stopped and said to himself: "It's strange, there is no one in this room, why is there a warmth?"
All the Yu Lin Guards, including Xue Poye, broke out in cold sweat.
The man in the bamboo hat was really thoughtful and could even notice this. Although the fire was extinguished and even water was poured, the heat from the stove and the heat emanating from the feathered forest guards filled the whole room.
It's not cold.
If it were an ordinary house, it would be as cold as a rock in this icy and snowy day, so the man in the hat quickly became suspicious, but until this time, he still did not expect that there were more than a dozen feathers hiding under his nose.
Lin Jingrui.
The man in the bamboo hat was obviously curious, so he walked straight to the door and opened the door gently and deftly. The room was dark, and a warmth rushed to his face. The man in the bamboo hat felt very strange. He took two steps and suddenly
The corners of his eyes twitched, and he thought: "No, there must be someone ambushing here." Just as he was about to exit, he saw a stinging pain in his back, and at the same time, there was also a stinging pain in his heart. This was naturally a sneak attack by someone one after another.
The attack was on the heart. The attack was decisive and sharp, and the heart was pierced one after another.
When the man in the bamboo hat was about to die, he wanted to shout a warning. Before he could scream, his mouth was filled with ice cold.
He hummed.
All these things happened in the blink of an eye. Xue Poye and Furukawa worked in tandem, using all their strength to pierce the heart of the man in the hat with an arrow.
After the man in the bamboo hat collapsed, Furukawa closed the door quietly.
Everyone knew the danger just now. As long as the man in the hat made a sound, his companions would definitely notice it and come over. Fortunately, Xue Poye had quick wits and stabbed the man in the hat into the throat with a dagger, killing him silently.
one person.
Xue Poye's heart was beating fast. This was really thrilling. Even he himself didn't believe that it went so smoothly.
This was because Xue Poye and Furukawa acted quickly and ruthlessly. On the other hand, it was also related to the fact that the other party was not on guard. This person never imagined that there was a trap to send him to the west in this dark stone house.
Someone died here, but the people in bamboo hats didn't notice it at all. After a while, several people in bamboo hats gathered together and all said: "No one!"
Bai Ribbon suddenly asked: "Where is the fourth child?"
Everyone looked around and found that one person was missing. They were all very surprised. Then they heard one person say: "Senior Brother, it's okay. The military advisor has received the news. All the Yulin guards and officers here have been transferred to Nanku, except for two
There is no one else but the stupid Hercules, the fourth boy will be fine, I will go look for him!"
After saying that, the man came over again.
When Xue Poye heard the man's words, his whole body froze, and he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He broke out in cold sweat, his pupils shrank, and he had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Elder brother? Military advisor?" These two titles were swirling in Xue Poye's mind.
If he remembered correctly, this kind of title was very familiar to Qinglianzhao.
The helmsman of the Kyoto sub-rudder is Qinglian Zhao's senior brother, and now Qinglian Zhao's military advisor Hua Xian is in Kyoto. If it's just a coincidence, then that's it, but if the white ribbon senior brother in front of him is Qinglian Zhao
Being the helmsman of the Kyoto branch is a big deal.
If that were the case, the man in the hat who was killed by him was Qinglianzhao's man.
Is there really such an unbelievable thing in the world? What are these people from the Kyoto helm doing here in the Treasury of the Ministry of Finance?
But he couldn't allow him to think too much. The man in the bamboo hat had already approached quickly. Xue Poye realized at this moment that the man in the bamboo hat was holding a soft whip in his hand.
Anyone who can use a soft weapon must have special attainments in this kind of weapon, which cannot be ignored.
Xue Poye's heart was beating fast, he had another feather arrow in his hand, and Gu He also made preparations behind the door, as if he was going to repeat his old trick, waiting for the man in the bamboo hat to come in, and once again cover up a sneak attack.
play.
But the person who came was obviously very smart. He shouted in a low voice: "Old Four, Old Four, where are you? Old Four...!" He suddenly stopped shouting and even stopped walking. He was still two meters away from the stone house.
The places on the left and right suddenly stopped.
Xue Poye was thinking about the war between heaven and man in his mind. Although Hua Xian was a person he hated very much, he was still the helmsman of Qinglianzhao Hangzhou Branch. If a man in a bamboo hat killed someone without knowing it, that was all.
But now, knowing that the other party is Qinglianzhu's person, he still continues to kill him. This is extremely unkind and unjust. This is a treasonous act of massacring his fellow sect.
But if you don't kill these people, will you let them kill you?
If his identity is revealed, perhaps the Dou Li people will regard Xue Poye as one of their own, but the Yulin Guards will definitely be shocked.
At that time, the Yulin guards knew that Xue Poye was a member of Qinglianzhao. Even if they had no choice, they would draw a clear line with Xue Poye and face each other with swords. In this way, they could only kill more than ten Yulin guards.
Wei silenced him to prevent his identity from being spread.
However, during the time Xue Poye was in Yulin Camp, he was deeply loved by all the soldiers. We were all like brothers on weekdays, so how could he kill these people?
If you don't kill these people, you can only help them kill the remaining four people in bamboo hats in Qinglianzhao!
No matter what, you have to kill.
Xue Poye can only pray now, hoping that these people in bamboo hats are not Qinglianzhao's people, this is just a coincidence. Now he only hopes that these people in bamboo hats are thieves, a group of guys who deserve death.
The man in the bamboo hat stopped, stared at the stone house, and whispered to himself: "Why does it smell like blood here?"
Everyone in the room became nervous again.
This bloody smell is naturally emitted by the blood of "Lao Si". However, on this cold winter day, the spread of the smell is not obvious. This person can actually smell it, which shows that his sense of smell is really extraordinary.
The sound of "click, click, click" sounded, and several people in bamboo hats came over here. One of them whispered: "It's really delaying things. We still have to look for something. It's dawning as soon as we see it. We don't have much time."
The man in the hat turned around and said to his companions: "You smell, there is the smell of blood here."
The senior brother stepped forward quickly, stood quietly, closed his eyes and smelled, then jumped back suddenly, with a small steel fork-like weapon in his hand, and shouted in a low voice: "There is an ambush!"
In the meantime, his left hand shook, cold stars popped up, several rays of cold light came out of his left hand, and hit the window directly. A "pop" sound was heard, and the cold light broke the window paper, and its strength did not diminish, but still came in.
.
After several "Puff puffs" and two "Ouch" calls, two Yulin guards were hit by the cold light. One of them whispered: "It's... it's a poison dart...!" and died.
The other person struggled slightly on the ground and soon stopped moving.
"What a cruel hidden weapon!" Xue Poye was horrified: "Seal your throat with blood!"
The four men in bamboo hats outside already had weapons in hand and were scattered in front of the door. They shouted in a deep voice: "You dogs, come out quickly!" Naturally, they called Xue Poye and others "dogs".dd
