The journey was smooth, and as we got closer and closer to the capital, Cao Jinxing became more and more alert.
These actors and actresses are so calm, they are probably holding back their big moves.
as expected.
The next afternoon, as soon as Cao Jinxing entered the boundary of Baoyang County, he felt that he was being followed.
This place is less than half a day's journey from the Shuntian Mansion of the capital. Even closer is the emperor's feet. It is easy to cause trouble. It is already considered the most suitable ambush location before entering the capital.
Cao Jinxing turned his horse around as if nothing had happened and entered the dense forest on the southwest side of the official road.
The person behind him was far away, following quietly while leaving a mark, waiting for others to come and join him.
He wears a dog mask on his face, and he is clearly the "soul-searching dog" of the Zodiac Killer Group in the Actor House who is best at finding people.
Two days ago, they did not block Cao Jinxing in Lu'an Mansion, and on that day they arranged for manpower to guard the major routes into Beijing.
Cao Jinxing was worried about the ambush and wanted to take a long detour. They had no scruples and rushed back as quickly as possible, finally sealing the pass first.
The Soul-Searching Dog possesses secret skills, its nose is very sensitive, even more sensitive than ordinary dogs, and its sense of smell can range up to two to three kilometers!
He knew it as soon as Cao Jinxing appeared on horseback.
"Watch where you run!"
Soul Searching Dog has a winning chance.
But as he followed, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and the horse slowed down.
He became more and more careful, huddled on the big tree, peeled away the dense branches and leaves, and looked down. The horse was still there, but the man on the horse had disappeared...
Something's wrong!
The soul-searching dog's nose kept twitching, smelling the lingering smell in the air, thinking: Is it still nearby? What's going on? Has he discovered it? Or is it somewhere else?
"What are you looking for?"
Suddenly a voice sounded from behind.
The hair on the soul-searching dog's head stands on end!
Thanks to his experience in many battles, he drew his sword and slashed behind him without saying a word!
He was fast, but Cao Jinxing was faster than him. He casually pointed at the Mingmen point on his waist, and then slapped him with a palm!
The sword energy of "Xuan Tian Lian Sword Finger" is devastating and destroys the Dantian, while the palm power of "Pailing Cloud Palm" is unparalleled and can shatter bones!
After receiving these two blows, the soul-searching dog man flew out directly and hit a thick tree on the opposite side. His whole body was soft and turned into a puddle of mud!
"puff!"
The soul-searching dog vomited blood and fell limply under the tree. The face under the mask was full of horror!
Cao Jinxing landed lightly on the ground, strode to the soul-searching dog and stood in front of him, squatted down and looked at him: "Who sent you here?"
The soul-searching dog gritted its teeth and remained silent.
"hehe."
Cao Jinxing smiled: "I like to talk harshly, so I should give you the "Splitting Muscles and Wrong Bones Hand", but that's too gentle. I usually don't use torture to extract confessions. It's not because I'm tired, but mainly because I'm afraid that people won't be able to withstand it...
"
Cao Jinxing raised his sword fingers, and his two fingers turned a cold icy blue, and the cold air around him rose sharply!
"This is called "Xuan Tian Lian Sword Finger". It has two uses, one is the sword energy you just received, and the other is the finger power.
There are thirty-six fatal points all over the human body. Generally, if you hit them with fingering, you will feel soft, numb, and dizzy. But if you hit them with this kind of fingering, cold poison will enter the body, and life will be worse than death! Are you sure you won't tell me?"
"..."
There was a look of fear in the soul-searching dog's eyes, but he still pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
"very good."
Cao Jinxing pointed at his Tanzhong acupoint, and in an instant, cold air invaded his internal organs along the acupoint!
The soul-searching dog's eyes bulged, and it felt like the middle finger was on fire, but the other places were bone-chillingly cold, as if thousands of blades were cutting it, and the pain was excruciating!
Cao Jinxing's face turned gloomy and his tone turned cold:
"explain!"
"..."
The soul-searching dog couldn't bear it any longer, and it would be nothing more than being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts. He endured the severe pain and said: "Yes... it's the little master... Yan... Yan Shaoting..."
On that day, when Yang Qiancheng's flying pigeon letter arrived at Yan's mansion, Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son were discussing matters in the cabinet, and Yan Shaoting was the only one in charge of the mansion.
In recent years, Yan Shaoting has grown up and has an official residence in the town of Fusi with thousands of households. He has a certain foundation in terms of strength and influence. Yan Shifan began to pave the way for him and transferred part of the power of Xi Linglou to his command.
These are insignificant little characters, just for training. Even if they are all gone, they have no bearing on the overall situation.
Yan Shaoting enjoyed the pleasure of controlling the black and white, and became more and more lawless.
As soon as he saw the thousand-year-old fire turtle in the letter, he was moved.
Grandpa is almost seventy. He is the pillar of the Yan family. As long as he lives, the current emperor cannot do without him.
What's more, in recent years, the Yan family has become the dominant family, and they have always spoken in the court. With the emperor's connivance, they have spared no trace of those who were killed by Qingliu.
Jiajing's attitude of turning a blind eye fostered the ambitions of three generations.
After all, Yan Song is old and can still restrain himself, but Yan Shifan and Yan Shaoting can no longer restrain themselves.
Yan Shifan even dared to do the business of forcing the Ministry of Revenue to suppress the feudal king's Sui Ci, forcing others to collect money to please him before distributing it.
Although there were reasons for Jiajing's displeasure, the level of arrogance was evident.
Yan Shifan looked down upon the emperor's own son, but his son was even better, and now he even dared to attack the emperor's own tribute.
"seek death!"
Cao Jinxing was speechless.
The foundation of the Yan family's life is "to be single-mindedly flattering."
You can be so arrogant just because it suits the emperor's wishes. He takes the big head and doesn't mind those of you who help him eat the small head.
Now I dare to put my hand on his plate...
He said that Yan Shifan could not do such a stupid thing, so it was his son who did it...
"Who's coming?"
"Twelve... twelve zodiac signs..."
"You mean, besides you, the dog, there are eleven others, right? In return for their martial arts, I'll let you have some fun. Let's talk about the mice first."
"He can……"
The soul-searching dog prolonged his voice, and a hint of excitement that his plot had succeeded flashed in his eyes: "...escape!"
A ray of sword light shot out from the ground!
The one who came was the zodiac sign "Escape Rat". He learned from Japan and knew the ninjutsu "Earth Release" and could travel underground quickly.
The Escape Rat and the Soul-Searching Dog come together, but one stalks the ground and the other sneaks underground.
The soul-searching dog was defeated so quickly that he had no time to rescue him, so he hid underground in ambush, waiting for the opportunity to kill with one strike.
Now, the opportunity has come!
The Escape Rat charged up and used his strongest and fastest sword! The sword was so bright that he seemed to have seen the scene where Cao Jinxing's head fell to the ground!
Those triangular eyes couldn't help but reveal excitement.
But at that moment.
Cao Jin took action.
"I know."
He was not surprised at all by the attack behind him, and without even turning his head, [Xue Po] was unsheathed in an instant, and he drew and retracted his sword among the lightning and flints - in mid-air, the head of the Escape Rat was gone.
"Go on."
Cao Jinxing stared at the soul-searching dog with cold eyes, his tone was calm, as if he had killed a chicken casually.
"??!"
The soul-searching dog's eyes were as wide as copper bells. Looking past Cao Jinxing's figure, he saw the human head flying in the sky, with a mouth wide enough to swallow an egg!
Plop!
The gopher's body holding the knife fell straight to the ground, and its round head rolled like a ball to the soul-searching dog's feet.
"ah!!!"
The soul-searching dog was so frightened that his whole body trembled!
He almost took it!
Are we the killers or are you the killer?
Why do you feel like you are more skilled at killing than us?
"Say it!"
Cao Jinxing was impatient.
The soul-searching dog was excited and quickly told the martial arts skills of the remaining ten people - he must have something to hide, Cao Jinxing didn't take it seriously and just used it as a reference.
When he finished speaking, he sent him to the west with a palm.
It helped him get out of trouble.
"It's really troublesome."
Cao Jinxing stood up with his sword in his hand and sighed: "The bastard Yan Shaoting is specifically trying to trouble me..."
"Then... do you need help?"
Suddenly, a clear voice sounded.
Cao Jinxing looked at a big tree in the southeast. Sitting on the tree was a young beggar in rags. He was in his mid-twenties and had a red gourd around his waist.
His breath-containing skills were so superb that the two killers didn't notice him.
Cao Jinxing only found out about such a person with his keen intuition and vague energy.
His clothes were tattered but very clean. When he looked at him, his face was full of smiles, showing his neat white teeth.
"I also like to cause trouble for others, especially the Yan family."
The beggar jumped down from the tree, making a loud bang when he hit the ground, and threw the wine bottle from his waist.
His technique was exquisite. It seemed to be an understatement, but it actually contained strong inner strength. Cao Jinxing didn't take it seriously and took it over casually, releasing his strength easily.
The beggar gave a thumbs up and became even happier.
"Awesome, brother."
He smiled and said, "I'm Lu Kunlun of the Beggar Clan. What you're holding is my newly bought 'Lord Grim', and I'll give you the first bite."
Cao Jinxing pulled out the stopper, raised his head and took a sip, smacking his lips: "Not bad."
"not bad?"
Lu Kunlun opened his eyes wide: "This is Junshan's specialty wine. It is well-known far and wide and has a golden name. I specially asked someone to bring it all the way, but it's just not bad?"
Cao Jinxing said: "It's worse than the flower carvings in Tianxiang Tower."
"Tianxiang Tower?"
Lu Kunlun's eyes lit up and he remembered: "Are they those jars of thirty-year-old flower carvings? They are indeed incomparable."
Cao Jinxing asked curiously: "Have you ever drank?"
