18. Night Dancer from the Shadows

Night, getting darker. (top) (point) novel

As the war approaches, a curfew has been implemented in Pingcheng. After Xu hour, the streets have become silent. Watchmen are constantly walking by with long tones, and important street intersections will be erected.

Fence with door lock.

Although the enemy has not yet reached the city, Pingcheng has long lost the bustle of the past, replaced by endless depression.

Of course, this is just the situation on the surface.

After all, this is a special place. No matter how urgent the situation is, many places here that stay open until late at night will still not give up the opportunity to make money, and even bring more income to them because of the large number of people entering the county.

Although there will be no noise or fanfare after the curfew, the bright lights, the occasional giggle or the banging sound of slapping hard objects indicate that the city is obviously far from entering the period of silence.

.

Even if you don’t plan to stay outside, you can still bring a bag of honeysuckle, a prescription for treating bruises, and a slightly honest smile, and you will basically not be questioned by the watchman or interrogation.

The soldiers were in too much trouble.

After all, both Guan Hai and Fazheng turned a blind eye to such matters. As long as those people were not so stupid that they forgot their identities and dared to collide with the officers and soldiers head-on, the two chief officers could also understand this.

People feel anxious at this time.

The previous thunderbolt methods have made these people feel huge pressure. If the entire Pingcheng is turned into a prison-like cage, the two of them are also worried that the final result will make everyone's already tense tensions

Complete mental breakdown.

These people are not serious soldiers at all. At most, they are paramilitary organizations with the color of military organizations, especially those businessmen. When they were placed in the Western Han Dynasty, the Han laws that inherited the Qin law classified businessmen, slaves, and untouchables.

It has reached a new level. Every time the government recruits people to join the army, it often turns low-status small businessmen and criminals into death-defying traps, letting them rush to the front line and risk losing their heads at any time.

Therefore, their degree of freedom before the war would also be slightly greater.

As it is now, as long as they don't cause trouble, they can just let them do it, drink, prostitute, gamble, etc.

Of course, if you lose courage when you should fight hard on the battlefield, the methods of those law enforcement teams will always be the most ruthless.

Therefore, since we don’t know what kind of fate we will have in the future, we might as well have a good time and have fun before we die.

"I really envy those businessmen. Even during the curfew, they can go to those places and have fun. Unlike us, we can only patrol here, and we can't strictly check those guys when we encounter them. We are afraid of scaring them, which is really bad luck!"

"Okay, okay, you should say less of this kind of thing, especially don't let the brothers in the camp hear it, otherwise they will beat you."

"Yes, yes, who is to say it's not here? If it weren't for the imposition of a curfew in this situation, we people wouldn't have been able to obtain so much extra income in such a short period of time. If this battle can cut off

With five or six Xianbei heads, I should be able to find a wife. If not, it would be nice to buy a Hu slave, which looks healthier and should be more fertile."

Hearing the words of the last soldier guarding the street, all the soldiers laughed in a low voice. I don't know if they were laughing at his idea as a delusion, or because they thought his idea was too futile. After all, these days

Even remote areas are affected by "Han chauvinism" to some extent, believing that the blood of the Han people is more noble. If the blood of a foreign woman is mixed into the Han people, it may be a matter of pride for the foreign people.

But for the Han people, it is a bit difficult to accept.

Therefore, if it is not for poverty or other reasons, it is generally more likely for a foreign woman to marry a Han man because her status is much higher than that of the Han man, and this is also because the folk customs in the border areas are more open.

It's just that those are things that only big men pay attention to. For these big-headed soldiers, bloodline is really not as important as those of high-ranking officials. It is already very difficult to continue their bloodline, so why bother?

Picky.

The pleasant atmosphere blew away the somewhat disturbing coldness, and the resentment accumulated in the heart seemed to turn into imagination for the future with the laughter. Although we are used to seeing life and death everywhere, in recent years,

Compared to the people in other places, even though their place is a bit chaotic, if it is limited to Pingcheng, it is still very peaceful and peaceful.

Most of these soldiers do not have any lofty ideals. For them, a stable life may be enough.

"Huh? Did you feel the wind blowing just now? It seemed different from the ordinary wind, as if a person had passed by."

While the group of top soldiers were chatting, a soldier suddenly asked his companions with a puzzled expression on his face.

Such suspicious behavior naturally aroused ridicule from other companions - in this northern frontier, in this season, not to mention a gentle breeze, even a howling cold wind is not too unusual, something as sharp as a knife

High winds can definitely make a night patrol the most harrowing thing in the world.

Then, everything was as usual, a few big-headed soldiers were still chatting about their lives and their future, and the streets were still as usual, with only some light near the candlelight, and the rest of the place was only dark.

Only occasionally, the wind would bring a few coquettish voices of women and rough voices of men from afar, causing the big-headed soldiers to fall into fascinating associations.

Everything is still as usual, nothing is different.

The Li family caravan stronghold in Pingcheng where Li Shushi is located is also brightly lit at this time, and bursts of laughter can be heard from the yard from time to time. It sounds like there is some interesting activity going on inside, making everyone laugh.

.

This seems to be the case.

Xiaoqiang's current image can be said to be quite bad. Not only is he looking shabby. Even his bun has been loosened at some point. His long hair is hanging behind his head with a little natural curl. Sweat is constantly flowing from his hair.

It slipped across his cheek, mixed with mud, leaving deep or light marks on his dark skin that had lost its original color.

But the most important thing is that Xiaoqiang's current image is an extremely standard "butt backwards and flat on the sand", which means that he once again challenged Old Man Tong in the past few days and got a shameful punishment.

fail.

Although this outcome was expected by everyone, Xiaoqiang's spirit of fighting and defeating despite repeated defeats is still worthy of praise. However, because of the party's defeat method that can be called a trick,

The original admiration turned into speechlessness.

Just like when watching Tom and Jerry, it is difficult for anyone to be impressed by the spirit of the old cat's repeated defeats. Instead, they are more looking forward to what the city mouse, who is obviously not as simple as the little mouse on the prairie, will do next time.

What to do with that cuppy old cat.

So when Xiaoqiang once again set a new lower limit and was kicked away by Old Man Tong and turned into what he is now, he watched Xiaoqiang try hard to support his body but ended up lying on the ground because of exhaustion.

The "corpse"

". Then, as if it had become a habit, Old Tong picked up the spear at hand and poked Xiaoqiang's head with the tip of the gun. When he planned to shape Xiaoqiang into a "flesh Buddha" again, everyone burst out with kind smiles.

Not surprising.

"The spirit is commendable, but where exactly is the gap between the two of us? Fengxian, can't you still see it now?"

"It's just that I have found the path that suits me best. As long as I keep going, I will reach this point sooner or later."

"The answer is both correct and incorrect. If you can find a path that suits you and keep going, it is indeed possible for you to achieve higher achievements than me with your qualifications. But the question now is, have you really found the path you want to take?

The road?"

With just one sentence, Xiaoqiang fell completely into silence, completely ignoring his hunched-over image and closing his eyes in deep thought. On the contrary, this brought a stronger comedy effect to everyone, making everyone couldn't help but smile.

Even the air is full of joy. It can be said that if everyone doesn't sleep well tonight, then all the mistakes are entirely because of Xiaoqiang.

"Well, although this issue is very important for a warrior like you, there is no need to be so anxious. This kind of realization cannot be understood overnight. But this is just for me personally. After all, I am not a

People with extraordinary talents are just a little bit better than ordinary people. That's why I thought that Wang Yue would be more suitable to train a genius like you than me. Zilong, drag Fengxian back, even if you want to

If you want to figure it out earlier, you don’t need to lie on the ground.”

Well, when you see Xiaoqiang jumping up quickly as if he just felt the coldness of the ground just now, you probably wouldn't have thought that this funny guy is actually the most accomplished warrior among the young generation of the Han Empire today.

However, it is probably precisely because he is funny, and Lu Bu, who has no other ideas, has the advantage of being a martial arts idiot - he can be played by the old man like a dog, but when he finds that he has met a good opponent, he

He would disobey orders and travel thousands of miles again, and now he would do even more ridiculous things because of the words of the old man Tong who had made a new breakthrough.

To a certain extent, Xiaoqiang is also a typical example of someone who forgets other things for the sake of his own ideals.

Well, just like the legendary Newton and Einstein who boiled their pocket watches like eggs for several hours. When they were obsessed with calculation formulas, they not only bumped into telephone poles while walking on the road, but also kept apologizing to the telephone poles afterwards.

A person like Chen Jingrun.

This should be regarded as a kind of talent, at least it seems that the "good boy" Zilongjiang is quite envious of Xiaoqiang's "innocence".

Of course, as a tracheitis patient, there is no way Zilongjiang can imitate Xiaoqiang's "simple" style in relationships between men and women.

It is estimated that if that happens, the wailing sounds that often sounded in Zilong-chan's mansion some time ago will appear again... Absolutely.

Shaking his head, but with a doting smile on his face, Old Tong staggered away from the martial arts arena that was still full of joy, but many people noticed that he said something to

I stared at this completely empty space for five seconds before returning to my room with an even more mysterious and weird smile.

Does Old Man Tong have any profound meaning in his behavior?

Although Li Shushi couldn't see any changes, as soon as he saw that the relaxed expressions of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were replaced by seriousness, and Dian Wei blocked his body in front of him, Xiaoqiang looked exhausted.

Just like its name of Xiaoqiang, a kite stood up straight, full of excitement.

The unsettling murderous aura and explosive power - let's just say that this little strong man is not easily defeated by Old Tong's attacks in a few rounds. The reason why he seems to have no physical strength is just because he feels too embarrassed and exhausts his physical strength.

It was just an excuse not to compete anymore, otherwise Xiaoqiang's body would have been drained dry by sex long ago.

Of course, everyone in the house, except for Old Tong, who had returned to the house, seemed to be nervous... It seems that this cannot be said entirely, at least Su Xiaoluoli and the ghosts surrounding her could not tell at all.

Do you feel nervous? Although Chen Dao seemed very

Nervous. But no matter how you look at it, it’s more like the words “I’m confused and don’t know what to do” are written all over her face. I always feel that if Nero-chan hadn’t been kind enough to lead her to face one direction to achieve the realm, this way of doing things would be impossible.

A girl who has always been very serious will probably choose to hang herself.

Good. Because I frightened the most serious and strict female secret agent (PU) around me who also had the funniest reaction when playing. That bastard hiding in the dark somewhere must also receive the most severe punishment. God damn it!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, why are you so nervous? It seems that those 'uninvited' guests have left. Probably because the response here was so fast, maybe they have dispersed to find other valuable targets.

Definitely."

After a while, nothing changed, but everyone still looked on guard. Only Su Xiaololi yawned cutely, and Shi Shiran left the martial arts arena, looking as if he was too bored.

As if getting ready for bed.

But Su Xiaoluoli, why did you only take away Zhen Xiaoluoli and Qiao Luoli to warm your bed? Although you know that the ghost's physique can almost perfectly simulate the various abilities of a real person, but only body temperature and fertility

In terms of abilities, they have completely different characteristics from those of the living - not to mention the latter, the slightly cold feeling of the former is indeed unable to warm the bed.

Although it cannot be said that holding a ghost is like holding an ice cube, it does feel uncomfortable when held in winter.

So, it seemed that everyone relaxed their guard because of Su Xiaololi's words.

After all, even if Old Man Tong's combat power is now higher than Xiaoqiang's, it still takes some time and energy to defeat Xiaoqiang, instead of being like Su Xiaololi's "Let your Xiaoqiang fly all over the sky, I will knock you down with one punch from my own lolita"

No discussion, no explanation for being knocked away with two punches." So if we talk about the recognized top master of Bingzhou Army, it has to be our Su Xiaololi.

Of course, this is also because Su Xiaoluoli is the official number one in Bingzhou Mufu, so Miss Luo He can only be ranked second.

It's just who is more powerful between these two people. Even if the two people sometimes compete tit-for-tat, they have never competed in terms of force. I don't know because the competition between the two sides is too cruel and can destroy the world.

I still feel that as a qualified lady, that kind of shameless fighting is too authentic. Anyway, this ranking has been recognized.

"Ah ha ha ha~ It's such a beautiful time, slut, do you want to have sex?"

Because this sentence was said to Nero-chan instead of Chen Dao's boy's shoes next to him, although it also made Chen Dao blush, he did not faint after all. Logically speaking, neither did the other party when he was in the fruit illusion.

I have never heard anything more powerful than this, but at that time it seemed that there was no reaction at all, but now it has become such a huge reaction.

I always feel like there is some unknown conspiracy in this.

Of course, because the person he was hooking up with was Nero-chan, Li Shushi could actually understand the other person even if he didn't say anything - even though he became a woman, and although he could only be Li Shushi's ghost, certain characteristics seemed to

It cannot be changed.

Ahem, I won’t tell you the specific aspects. Those who don’t understand are rare good children, just like pure primary school students.

However, it seems that this kind of adjective can only be used recently, and it may not be long before it will be replaced by kindergarten student.

It's a really sad story - in a way.

And just when everyone seemed to be preparing to pack up and go back to their rooms to rest, Li Shushi put one arm around Nero-chan's slim waist. The other hand gently rested on Chen Dao's shoulder, looking at her body with a joking look as her face gradually heated up.

It’s even more of a red-hot performance.

Sudden……

A gust of wind blew by, so gentle that people could not feel the airflow that was only disturbed for a moment.

But it was this air flow that was as light as an illusion, but with the will of death, it was gently close to Li Shushi's neck. Until he noticed it, the slightest chill seemed to have completely cut off his entire neck.

Pass by the body.

It seems that as long as he moves forward a little further, Li Shushi will be able to complete his "historic mission" and make a glorious exit.

"What a pity. We are already so close, but we can't close this last little distance."

Looking at the assassin who wrapped himself in black in front of him. Seeing the unbelievable emotion reflected in those dark eyes, the sarcastic smile on Li Shushi's face became more obvious, laughing at the other person's self-consciousness.

Measure your capabilities.

"In the name of my master, I order, Nero, to capture all the assassins who come to assassinate you."

The same words were said three times. The three golden patterns on his arms that were usually hidden under the robe suddenly collapsed and broke into scattered golden light spots, and then disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, Nero-chan, who was originally only able to compete with the assassin who was stabbing. Even slightly inferior in strength, blocked the dagger in the assassin's hand with a flick of his wrist, and then took advantage of the assassin's attack.

When the door was wide open, he kicked the hand crossbow in the opponent's other hand away with one kick, then stepped forward and stabbed the opponent through the abdomen with the long sword that was already ignited in flames.

Looking around, the situation of the other assassins was also very bad. Faced with the skilled and tacit cooperation of the Bingzhou Army guards, and under the leadership of several generals, these assassins did not have the advantage of a surprise attack or the numerical advantage. As a result, they were defeated.

It was not too surprising that everyone was firmly suppressing them, but because Li Shushi wanted to be "captured alive" instead of simply beheaded, it seemed that the situation was still a bit stalemate for the time being. The assassins looked at it for the time being.

I can still hold on for a while.

But by this time, no one thought that the assassins could still complete their expected tasks, and of course it was impossible to escape, so there seemed to be only one option available to them...

He used the dagger in his hand to block the long knife in Xu Huang's hand. The assassin endured the pain of being stabbed by his bodyguard and used the sharp blade in his hand to pierce his temple directly, shooting out a ball of dark brown stuff, which made

People feel very disgusted when they see it.

But what surprised them even more was that the assassin who had turned into a corpse not only did not leak anything anymore, but instead turned into black light spots flying all over the sky with a very slight "bang" sound.

Scattered and disappeared.

It seems to have the same effect as the golden pattern on Li Shushi's arm that suddenly collapsed and disappeared.

Seeing this, the other assassins seemed to be following suit and were preparing to do the same. Unfortunately, before they could make a move, their bodies flashed with blue lightning, and then their bodies began to tremble due to biological

They began to convulse due to electrical disorder, and fell to the ground one after another. They could no longer make any movements, let alone commit suicide.

As a result, these strange assassins who must come from the "mysterious man" were tied into rice dumplings one by one.

It looks like these poor guys will spend their last days on Su Xiaololi's autopsy table.

Although living anatomy is too cruel, it seems that such an anti-human existence does not cause people to have such emotions. On the contrary, it makes people feel very happy.

Sure enough, compared to being kind or something like that, the more cruel you are towards enemies who hurt your relatives and friends, the more you can think clearly.

Although the enemy is indeed very strange and not generally difficult to deal with in terms of strength, in the end they are just a group of assassins, assassins who die in the face of light.

Looking at the piles of "big rice dumplings" in front of you, anyone will have such thoughts.

At this moment, a terrible murderous aura and cold air came straight towards Li Shushi. For a moment, Li Shushi could almost feel that death was in front of him. Even after getting rid of the interference of this illusion, he still felt as if he was dead.

It is impossible to escape from this murderous aura filled with the breath of death.

He will inevitably die in this assassination! (To be continued...)
