Although the words had reached this point, Sun Yixie still did not let go of Kang Haijiao out of caution.
He asked Lin Yuancheng to get Terashima's Japanese sword, and dyed the sword with Terashima's blood, and then the two of them escorted Kang Haijiao to the latter's residence.
The place where Kang Haijiao lives is no longer a crowded inn, but an inconspicuous house on the outskirts of the city.
The house looked very shabby. Apart from a table for eating and a bed for sleeping, there was almost no decent furniture. It looked like it wouldn't be afraid of losing anything even if a thief broke in.
However, it is only in a house like this that it is easy to hide things.
To make a long story short, it wasn't until Kang Haijiao revealed the secret compartment hidden under a certain floor tile that Sun Lin and Sun Lin confirmed that there were indeed three swords hidden there, that Sun Yixie finally released him.
This is said to be "three swords", but it is actually two and a half, because the "Qingtian Sword" Fang Jinghai's sword was cut off in the duel with Terashima, and only half of the broken sword was brought back; of course,
This has happened before. It doesn't matter if you have half a sword, because it will melt sooner or later, as long as the part you bring back is not too small. As for the blood on the sword, it doesn't matter if it is too much or too little, as long as it is not too small.
Just one or two drops is enough.
After the three of them got the swords, they turned around and headed to the "joint point" that Benkang Haijiao said.
According to what Kang Haijiao said, he didn't know who the contact person was or where he lived. He only knew that every night after Hai hour and before Mao hour of the next morning, he would go to a ruined temple outside the city and burn the incense burner in the middle of the incense burner.
Put eight sticks of the thickest incense, then exit the temple door, wait for a while and then go back, the contact person will be waiting for you there.
Kang Haijiao had never thought much about the mystery behind this joint method, but Sun Yixie reacted immediately after hearing it: Is there some mechanism or secret passage in this ruined temple?
Brother Sun was indeed right...
There is a mechanism in the incense burner and a secret passage under the Buddha statue. Once the mechanism is activated, someone below will receive the signal.
And the "connector" is actually not one person, but a group of people.
They hang out in Dengzhou City on weekdays. On the surface, they are ordinary people. They are letter writers, vegetable sellers, pig butchers, etc. Anyone among these people can be "connectors". To put it bluntly... click
On a fragrant night, whoever happens to be on duty is the one.
Tonight's contact person is Lao Zhao, a cloth seller in the city. So what is the specific name of Lao Zhao? Don't ask, it's not important. I don't need to mention it, and you don't need to remember it. If you ask again, you are too lazy to make it up.
.
In short, at the third quarter of the Chou hour, the mechanism in the incense burner was pressed and triggered, and Lao Zhao, who was dozing in the "duty room" under the temple, was awakened.
After he got up, he calmed down, quickly covered his face with a piece of black cloth, and listened to the sounds above in the secret passage, and then poked his head out.
Lao Zhao waited silently in the darkness for a while, and then Kang Haijiao came in carrying several long and narrow wooden boxes.
"Here we come." Old Zhao lowered his voice and tried to say hello to Kang Haijiao in a voice that was different from his usual voice. At the same time, he also lit a candle on the candlestick, making the temple a little brighter.
"Hey, here we come." Kang Haijiao responded and put the four wooden boxes on the ground.
Lao Zhao glanced at the wooden box on the ground and said solemnly: "Counting these four, the sixteen you and Terashima are responsible for are all together, right?"
"Yes, I finally completed the task assigned by the master." When Kang Haijiao said this, there was nothing in his hand, and his back was facing the temple entrance; that is to say, he was outside the temple at this moment.
Sun Yixie and Lin Yuancheng, who were monitoring in the dark, could not see the front of Kang Haijiao.
It was at this moment that Kang Haijiao raised his right hand and made a gesture in front of him with a very small movement.
He first raised two fingers and matched his eyes to indicate that he was being followed and monitored by two people. Then he turned his palms and made a "press down" gesture, telling the other party not to yell and to wait.
This set of actions is not a unique contact code, but someone like Lao Zhao who specializes in lurking and intelligence work can easily guess its meaning.
Therefore, Lao Zhao immediately looked directly into Kang Haijiao's eyes and nodded slightly.
"Eh? That's right." Kang Haijiao received the response and immediately spoke again, "Master... is he okay recently? Has he ever mentioned me?"
"Uh..." Old Zhao hesitated for a moment, then followed the other person's words and continued, "Yes... yes, the master said that you completed the task very well and should reward you generously."
Kang Haijiao said with a fake smile: "Haha, blah, blah, blah, it's my blessing to serve 'Master Xiao', even if I'm not rewarded, I'm still willing."
Although Lao Zhao got the hint from the other party's eyes and gestures, he was a little surprised when Kang Haijiao suddenly said the three words "Master Xiao" like this. He couldn't help but wonder if there was something in the play, so he didn't notice it for a while.
No answer.
"Well..." Seeing that the other party did not respond, Kang Haijiao quickly said, "Anyway, I have delivered the sword, and I will leave it to you, brother..." At this point, Kang Haijiao used the fingers hidden in front of him again.
He pointed at himself and made a circle gesture, "... I'll take the first step and see you later."
Kang Haijiao also understood what Lao Zhao meant by these two words, that he would come back soon.
"Okay..." But Lao Zhao didn't fully believe the other party, so he didn't say much and only replied with this word.
After that, Kang Haijiao cupped his fists and handed over his hands, turned around and left, quickly leaving the temple gate.
Lao Zhao, on the other hand, waited for the other party to go out before silently leaning over to pick up the sword boxes. Then he walked to the candle again, blew it out gently, and disappeared into the darkness again...
…………
"How's it going? I didn't lie to you two." Not long after, Kang Haijiao and Sun Lin met a few hundred meters outside the temple.
"Well, it seems that what you said is true." Sun Yixie nodded and responded, "In that case, let's see you tomorrow."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Huh?" Kang Haijiao was stunned, "Sun Shaoxia, didn't you say that if I told you honestly and cooperated with you, you would find a way for me to survive?
Why is this..."
"Nonsense, I don't need time to come up with ideas for you?" Sun Yixie said confidently, "I haven't slept for almost a day and a night, at least let me go back and think about it. Anyway, even if Xiao Zhun wants to doubt you, you are not here today.
Half a day."
"Uh... that's right, what Sun Shaoxia said is absolutely true." Kang Haijiao rolled his eyes and continued, "Then... shall I say goodbye first?"
"Wait a minute." At this time, Lin Yuancheng still looked a little doubtful. He called out to Kang Haijiao, and immediately turned to ask Sun Yixie, "Brother Sun, let him go like this? What if he never comes back...
"
"If you don't come back, you won't come back." Sun Yixie said easily in a confident tone, "Now he wants something from us. If he wants to leave, let him go. It will save us trouble."
"Well..." Lin Yuancheng actually hadn't figured out the calculation yet, but since Sun Yixie said so, he believed it, "Okay."
"Yes, yes, Sun Shaoxia is right, I won't leave even if you drive me away." Kang Haijiao also quickly answered, "Young Master Lin, please don't worry."
"Okay...just let's go, no need to say anything more." Lin Yuancheng didn't have a good impression of villains like Kang Haijiao, so he didn't even look at him when he replied.
Kang Haijiao even laughed twice in apology: "Haha... then... see you two tomorrow."
Before he finished speaking, he used Qinggong and fled far away.
After he ran away, Lin Yuancheng looked at Sun Yixie and said, "Brother Sun, let's go back to the inn."
unexpectedly……
"No." Sun Yixie suddenly narrowed his little eyes and thought thoughtfully, "This is not right."
"Oh?" Lin Yuancheng was surprised when he heard this, "What's wrong?"
"Can't you see it? That Kang Haijiao must have played some tricks when they connected." Sun Yixie replied decisively.
Lin Yuancheng was puzzled when he heard this. He thought to himself: Brother Sun, are you smart? You just let him go as if everything was fine. Why did you change your face when he left?
"I... do feel like there's something wrong, but I can't explain it at the moment." Lin Yuancheng thought for a while and then responded, "Brother Sun, you confidently said it doesn't matter, so I just..."
"I just performed it for Kang Haijiao, so that he could relax his vigilance and think he had deceived us." When Sun Yixie said this, he tilted the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Huh... he was in the ruined temple just now.
Do you want to get away with it in front of me?" He paused, "Even the shill selling fake goods on the street is smarter than him, and the few lines of dialogue between them are too stiff.
I don’t even have the ability to improvise… Especially after Kang Haijiao said the second sentence, the contact person’s attitude obviously changed.”
"Then in Brother Sun's opinion..." Lin Yuancheng didn't fully understand what Brother Sun said, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just motioned for Brother Sun to continue with a puzzled expression.
"I bet that Kang Haijiao just now must have secretly given the other party some code in a blind spot that we couldn't see." Sun Yixie replied, "Kang Haijiao still wants to kill us after all. After all, the strength of the two of us is
The power and power are not comparable to that of Xiao Zhun. If we let him choose, it would be easier to kill us...and as long as we are dead, his betrayal of his master will not matter. "
"Then..." Lin Yuancheng thought for a moment, then continued, "We chase him to his residence now and strike first?"
"Hey~" Sun Yixie shook his head and waved his hands, raising his eyebrows and said, "That's not necessary. He just hinted at the general situation to the other party, but he didn't say anything about our more specific matters. He must have
The accomplice who contacted him is also confused and half-believing now... So, he will definitely come back after a while." At this point, Sun Yixie paused for a moment, leaned a little closer to Lin Yuancheng's ear, and then
He said, "I don't think it would be better for us to get ahead of him, go to the ruined temple first, and play a counter-intuitive trick, let them fight in the nest, and kill someone with a borrowed knife, wouldn't it be nice~"
"Oh?" Although Lin Yuancheng is not stupid, he is not as skilled as Brother Sun in engaging in this kind of showmanship. "I wonder what Brother Sun has planned?"
"Hehe..." Upon hearing this, Sun Yixie immediately smiled, and then revealed a poisonous plan.
…………
That night, later.
In the darkness before dawn, Kanghai Jiao quickly displayed his Qinggong and walked effortlessly.
In fact, he was quite cautious. Because he was afraid that he would be followed by Sun and Lin, he deliberately returned to his residence first and pretended to enter the house.
After closing the door, he waited in the room for a while, then slipped out from the back window and looked around the house quietly.
After fully confirming that he was not being followed or monitored, he set off again and returned to the ruined temple.
When he arrived near the ruined temple, he didn't rush to get close. Instead, he scouted around again, fearing that Sun Lin would stay here to ambush...
It can be said that from Kang Haijiao's point of view, he basically did everything he could do; after finishing all this, he walked into the ruined temple and put eight more incense sticks on the incense burner.
However, he never expected it...
This time, before he finished lighting the incense and exited the temple gate, six figures suddenly rushed towards him from behind the Buddha statue in the ruined temple, on the beams, in the shadows behind the pillars...
Each of these people is dressed as a "connector": dressed in black, with their faces covered, but they vary in height and shape.
Although these six people all used swords, their respective martial arts skills were different; at this moment, without any explanation, they surrounded and killed Kang Haijiao from all directions, and they all murmured: "Kill this traitor!
