A person like Liu Buming doesn't need to think about it to know that he is a guy with great ambitions! Xia Yu secretly thought in his heart, if Liu Buming is still alive, he will definitely encourage Meng Shixiong to fight for power with the City Lord's Mansion! This man died in a fight with Yue Conghai
, it is a good thing for Hailuozhou, and it is also a kind of luck for Xue Caiyi.
Seeing that Xia Xia Yu had handled the affairs in the military camp in an orderly manner so quickly, everyone was in admiration. During dinner, Li Yishan couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Yu Wen! You are really an all-rounder who can do both literature and martial arts! If you could stay
Let’s just work together next time!”
Xia Yu smiled and said: "Old Li, that's not my ambition! I can't stay here. It's okay if you let me help here occasionally. If you let me stay in the military camp for many years, I will be depressed!"
"
Li Yishan laughed, "If you hadn't refused the invitation from the General's Mansion, I would have thought that you disliked our place being too small!"
"It's not a matter of size, it's purely a matter of my personality!" Xia Yu said with a smile, "By the way, how is your injury? Does it matter?"
"No big problem, just a little trauma!" Li Yishan sighed and said, "No one thought that Yue Conghai was so ambitious! He actually wanted to kill General Meng!"
"The temptation of power..." Xia Yu said, "He may want to be as powerful as Zhou Xinglai in Yanzhicheng."
Li Yishan spat and said: "That idiot Yue Conghai, if he really succeeds, Hailuozhou will be defeated by Zhou Xinglai sooner or later."
Xia Yu smiled lightly and asked, "How did the Diao family deal with it?"
"General Meng has been handed over to Song Zhoumu..." Li Yishan said, "Song Zhoumu seems to want to borrow some people from us to get rid of the Diao family in one fell swoop, and at the same time drive the Nanshui Guild out of Hailuo City."
"Oh..." Xia Yu nodded noncommittally and took action against the Nanshui Chamber of Commerce. He must have been influenced by Xue Caiyi. It seemed that Xue Caiyi had a good start in infiltrating the officials in Hailuo City.
After dinner, they dealt with some trivial matters. Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Yu left the general's mansion.
…
The weather is a bit gloomy tonight, and there is a bit of water vapor in the air. Both starlight and moonlight are blocked by thick clouds. It looks like there will be a heavy rain in the middle of the night.
The long street was pitch dark, but Xia Yu's eye skills were good, and he could still see the road easily under such visibility.
As he was walking, Xia Yu's face suddenly changed. He glanced at the high walls on both sides with his peripheral vision, and frowned slightly.
There is a killer!
This is a very familiar feeling. Xia Yu, who was born as a killer, knows the killer's aura as well as his own hands and feet. Even if he does not reveal any murderous intent, Xia Yu can detect it as long as there is a killer nearby.
There are similar ones.
The killer was very careful to hide himself. Xia Yu didn't know for a moment whether he was targeting him or not, but he secretly raised his alert.
The killers that Xia Yu noticed were Ding Forty-seven and Ding Forty-Eight from Blood Shadow Hall. They found out that Xia Yu had gone to the General's Mansion early in the morning, and there was a long way from the General's Mansion back to Baiyun Restaurant.
There are high walls on both sides, and few people walk around, which is a good place for them to take action.
The two of them have been lying in ambush here since the morning and have waited until now. Although it has been a long time, as well-trained killers, this kind of patience is a basic lesson and will not affect the next moves of the two at all.
Carefully restraining his murderous intent, Ding Forty-Seven made a few gestures towards Ding Forty-eight, meaning that when they reached the intersection ahead, the two of them would attack together, and after succeeding, they would retreat towards the north fork.
Ding Forty-Eight nodded and carefully moved forward along the high wall.
The information obtained by Blood Shadow Hall when it received the commission from Zhou Xinglai showed that Xia Yu was at the seventh level of Huang rank and was good at bow and arrow. Before sending out the killer, Blood Shadow Hall also learned about the target through other channels. What they learned was consistent with
What Zhou Xinglai provided is very consistent, so blood
Ding Forty-seven and Ding Forty-eight, who were sent by the Shadow Hall, are also in the realm of the Huang rank. Both of them are in the seventh rank of the Huang rank, just like Xia Yu. Of course, after Xia Yu spent three months in seclusion at Baiyun Restaurant,
They have already broken through to the eighth level of the Yellow Level, and they don't know this news yet.
Killers are good at concealment and sneak attacks. If an ordinary person encounters a surprise attack by a killer of the same level, if they are not prepared in advance, the chance of being killed is very high. What's more, Blood Shadow Hall has sent two killers this time.
Both Ding Forty-Seven and Ding Forty-Eight thought this was a simple task.
But they don't know that Xia Yu, a yellow-level person, is not only one level higher than them in cultivation, but can also surpass the Xuan level to kill Xuan-level beings. What's even more deadly is that Xia Yu's specialty is that of a killer, and he has a certain kind of attitude toward his kind.
No matter how Ding Forty-seven and Ding Forty-eight hide their mysterious sensing power, Xia Yu has long been aware of their existence and is ready to take action. Especially when he feels that the two of them change positions as he moves.
By that time, Xia Yu had confirmed that the target of the two killers was himself.
Xia Yu couldn't help but wonder, who would hire a killer to deal with him? He didn't seem to have many enemies after coming to Xuantian Continent, right? Could it be Yue Conghai's hidden subordinate? Or a dead soldier raised by the Diao family? Or maybe?
People from Feihe Villa?
Just as he was thinking about it, a figure suddenly jumped out from the high wall in front of him. It was Ding Shiba. He held a two-foot-long dagger in his hand. He jumped over a distance of about ten feet in an instant and arrived in front of Xia Yu. He thrust the sword towards him.
down his throat.
In the darkness of the night, one can vaguely see the green blade of the dagger, which is obviously smeared with poison. The killer does not hold back his hand, nor does he talk about justice and morality. Everything is focused on killing the target, and the weapon is covered with poison.
Poison is normal.
When Ding Forty-eight's dagger thrust out, Ding Forty-seven's attack also came behind Xia Yu. The daggers used by the two of them were almost exactly the same, both were poison-quenched daggers with a length of two feet.
Attack from front and back!
For others, maybe this is a sure blow.
But their target is Xia Yu, a colleague who has long sensed their existence!
As early as when Ding Siba took action, Xia Yu expected that someone would attack from behind. Instead of resisting the dagger in front of him, he tapped his toes and slid sideways from the middle of the road to the corner of the roadside.
Ding Forty-seven and Ding Forty-eight's attacks failed, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes. Their target had such a mysterious light skill, which was beyond their expectations. However, seeing that Xia Xia Yu had retreated to the corner, the two of them showed a somewhat playful look at the same time.
No matter how good your eyesight or qinggong is, what use will it be when you are in a corner?
