Chapter 18: Moon Black Wind High Killing Eve (Part 1)
The night is deep and people are tired.
The autumn wind blew outside the inn, and all the doors and windows inside the inn were closed. An oil lamp was lit on the table in the lobby and in the kitchen. Other than that, there was no light source in the room. The entire inn was quiet, whether it was the guests or the staff.
Everyone lay down to rest, except a few people.
Today Rentuzi didn't know what kind of nerve he had, so he deliberately left Zhao Zheng in the kitchen, found a lot of work for Zhao Zheng to do, and didn't let Zhao Zheng rest.
Zhao Zheng thought at first that he had offended Ren Tuzi somewhere, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't figure out where he had offended Ren Tuzi. Moreover, Ren Tuzi was a cheerful person and was not the kind of person who cares about everything. Let him stay tonight
I'm afraid I have some hidden agenda when working here.
Zhao Zheng opened his eyelids that were fighting up and down, driving away his sleepiness, and silently wiped the kitchen stove. After the stove was wiped clean and shiny, he rinsed the greasy rag with clean water and wrung it dry.
Then hung it on the wall.
"Brother Ren, if nothing happens, I will go back to sleep." Zhao Zheng asked with a yawn, and his words were actually testing Ren Tuzi's purpose.
"Stay here and don't leave. I'll have a 'job' for you to do later." Human Butcher sat on the chair with a sullen expression, a hint of worry on his face.
"What kind of job?" Zhao Zhengjian raised his eyebrows, sensing something was wrong.
"Dirty work." Human Butcher raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Zheng.
When Zhao Zheng heard this, he felt a shiver in his heart: "When Rentuzi said this, could it be that he wanted to show me the affairs of this store? Well, that must be the case. They must have been eyeing the customer in black and planned to kill him today."
They start late, and then let me know what they are doing secretly, and get me to join them. But the guest in black is very good at martial arts, can they handle it with just a few of them? Oh, I hope they don't make any mistakes."
After thinking about this, he pretended to be stupid and said, "What kind of black job is this?"
"Dark work refers to work that is shady and can only be done behind the scenes." Rentuzi explained ambiguously.
"Can't I do this job now? I'm a little sleepy."
"We can't do it now because the 'goods' haven't been delivered yet." Human Butcher glanced at the gap in the wall with his leopard eyes, and behind it was the secret room of the kitchen.
"In this case, I will wait with you for a while." Zhao Zheng remained calm, went to find a chair outside the house, and sat down face to face with Rentuzi. He felt a little upset, and Rentuzi kept saying something dark.
If you leave the job to him, don't you want him to kill people later? If that's the case, it will be a bit difficult. Although he knows that this inn only kills evil people, as long as it is killing people, it is not an easy task.
.Actually, not to mention killing, he had never even killed a chicken before, so he was extremely stressed.
Rentuzi was concerned about Shen Luoxia's safety, and Zhao Zheng was worried about the difficulty of doing dirty work. They both had their own concerns, and both of them were unwilling to gossip and kept their mouths tightly shut.
The kitchen fell into silence, except for the whistling sound of the wind that slipped in through the cracks in the window.
The oil lamp on the table gave off a dim light, illuminating their faces and the knife on the cutting board.
…
The moon is dark, the wind is high, and it is a murderous night.
Shen Luoxia sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes and meditated, her whole body motionless, like a nun in trance. On her right hand side, there was a sheathed dagger.
Her dress tonight was very different from usual. She was wearing a short black and brown suit, which was tight and neat, with a very short hem. Her lower body was in a pair of trousers, and she had no shoes on her feet, revealing a pair of smooth feet. Her hair was twisted into several circles and tied up with a black headband. Even during strenuous exercise, she didn't need to worry about her hair getting scattered.
This kind of dress is suitable for killing people at night. The black clothes can hide the figure, and the neat dress is convenient for making moves.
Killing is a depressing thing, and killing a master is even more so.
Since opening the store, this is the first time Shen Luoxia has encountered such a dangerous opponent. Although she has ordered people to poison Wang Jiu with "Fragrant Cartilage Powder" in the food and wine, which greatly reduced Wang Jiu's external skills. , but she was still very nervous and her heartbeat was always beating very fast.
It took Shen Luoxia most of the night to finally adjust her emotions to the best state and she could take action.
It is midnight now, when people sleep the deepest. If you are lucky, you may be able to kill Wang Jiu while he is sleeping.
Shen Luoxia slowly opened her eyes. In the darkness, her eyes emitted a very faint white light. She grabbed the dagger beside her and pulled it out of its sheath. There was a faint cold air on the sword. She stood up with her sword in hand, jumped up, raised her hand to grab the beam, and landed on the beam. The beam was not thin enough for people to walk on it, but the gap between the beam and the roof was very narrow. , can only move forward while squatting.
Shen Luoxia's feet were bare and there was no sound at all when she stepped on the beam. She moved forward slowly and reached the end of the beam. Opposite was a blocking board. She reached out and grabbed the board and pulled it. Yes. This was also a deliberate move at the beginning of building the inn, so that Shen Luoxia could sneak into the guest's room secretly. If she sneaked in through the door or window, it would undoubtedly increase the risk.
The wooden boards are smeared with oil, and the sound they make when they are pulled apart is very small and almost negligible. After the wooden boards are opened, the two rooms are connected together. You only need to crawl along the beams to reach the Tianzihao room.
Shen Luoxia looked down through the opening. Wang Jiu's snoring could be heard in the darkness. The frequency of the other party's snoring did not change at all, and it seemed that he was not disturbed. As time went by, lest something changed, he had to act swiftly and swiftly. She raised her left foot, stretched it through the opening, stepped on the beam of the next room, and then reached over with her hands and heels.
The opening is not big, so only slender people can pass through it. If they are tall and muscular like Rentuzi, they will not be able to get through.
Shen Luoxia reached the beam of the next room, put her dagger behind her back, and jumped down from the beam. Before landing, she grabbed the beam with her hand and hung her body in mid-air. After she stopped, Then she let go of her hand and really fell to the ground. The soft soles of her feet stepped on the ground, making a louder sound than pulling open a wooden board.
"bump."
The sound was not loud at ordinary times, but at this night, it was as clear as beating a drum.
Shen Luoxia held her breath and carefully observed Wang Jiu's movements. The room was dark, and she could only vaguely see Wang Jiu's outline. She saw Wang Jiu lying on the bed, motionless, apparently not disturbed. Shen Luoxia held her breath and concentrated. When Luoxia saw this, she felt happy. It would be best if she could attack Wang Jiu while he was sleeping. Many dangers could be avoided. She walked forward with light steps. Her soles landed on the ground without even a sound, and she followed her. Like a night owl exploring the road.
Just when Shen Luoxia was one meter away from the head of the bed, her ankle touched a thin line connecting the foot of the bed and the leg of the chair. This thin line was hidden in the darkness and was difficult to see. The thin line was hidden in the darkness. The line was impacted, which affected the two bells hanging at both ends, and the tinkling sound was heard, which was particularly harsh at night.
"Not good!" Shen Luoxia's beauty turned pale, and the hairs all over her body stood up. She didn't expect that Wang Jiu would be so careful and lay such a trap in the house before going to bed. Although she had observed Wang Jiu through the small hole before, Jiu, but she only peeked several times a day, each time for a very short time, and she never saw Wang Jiu decorating these things in the house. Otherwise, how could she not take precautions.
The book endorses that Wang Jiu has been involved in several murder cases and is wanted by officials from various places. He has developed the habit of being cautious. Whenever he sleeps outdoors, he will put a few thin lines around him. If someone takes advantage of him while sleeping, Approaching him will trigger the bells on these thin wires, causing a sound.
When Shen Luoxia heard the bell, she thought it was some kind of dangerous trap. She quickly turned over and jumped to the back, turned her body sideways to reduce the area, put her dagger upright on her chest, and glanced back and forth to observe the situation in the room. But except for Apart from the ringing of the bell, there was no other unusual movement in the room.
The ringing alarmed Wang Jiu, who was sleeping soundly. Wang Jiu opened his eyes fiercely, shook his head and glanced at the dark figure in his room. He knew that the other party had evil intentions without having to guess. Endless murderous intent suddenly surged in his heart, and he put his hand under the quilt. Li grabbed it, took out the dart bag on his body, and threw it in the direction of Shen Luoxia.
The dart bag was just a thin layer of cloth. With such a forceful swing, the dozen or so darts inside immediately pierced the dart bag and flew away like stars in the sky.
Wang Jiu is nicknamed the Mountain Poison Bird. His Qinggong and poisoning skills are extremely powerful. He has over a hundred darts all over his body coated with poison. If he hits the target, his life will be in danger.
Shen Luoxia knew that Wang Jiu's poisonous darts were powerful and she did not dare to underestimate them. She immediately turned over to avoid them and used the technique of opening an iron bridge, leaning back at a ninety-degree angle. The dart flew in front of her and was nailed to the wall with a "dududu" sound.
Wang Jiu seized the opportunity for Shen Luoxia to turn over and dodge, and pressed his hands on the bed board, making a gesture to get up. He was lying down now, which was a big disadvantage in the battle.
Shen Luoxia did not give Wang Jiu a chance to get up. After she dodged the poisonous dart, she exerted force on her waist and straightened her back body. She turned her wrist and pointed the tip of the dagger forward. As soon as she stepped on her jade foot, her slim body flew forward. She was a female, so her physical strength was naturally not as good as that of men, but her Qinggong was excellent. She rushed to Wang Jiu's side almost in the blink of an eye, and stabbed him with a sword. Ben Wangjiu's face is in danger.
Wang Jiu was secretly frightened and did not dare to get up again. He freed up his hands to deal with Shen Luoxia. He pressed his left hand on his right arm and touched the spring of the mechanism hidden in his sleeve. He heard a bang and started from him. A sharp edge shot out from his sleeve, which turned out to be a murderous sleeve arrow!
The sleeve arrow is a hidden weapon with a mechanism. It is usually tied to the arm, and the sleeve arrow inside can be shot out by pressing the spring. This mechanism is so powerful that it can penetrate a person's body. All the darts on Wang Jiu's body are It was coated with poison, but only the Xiujian was not coated with poison, because once this hidden weapon hits a person, it is fatal, so there is no need to apply poison again.;
