When Huang Xiaoshi arrived at Luoyang Pier, it was already dark.
Luoyang Pier is a full 80 miles away from Luoyang City, and it took Huang Xiaoshi half an hour to run all the way there.
What Huang Xiaoshi hates most about this era are these points:
Transportation basically relies on walking, communication basically relies on roaring, public security basically relies on dogs, and heating basically relies on shivering.
Forget about the next three points, you can overcome them. Transportation is really too troublesome, even if you have a bicycle!
Although Huang Xiaoshi can also ride a horse, riding a horse is not like the game where the horse comes just by whistling.
It takes a lot of time to find and pick up the horse. After walking to the dock, it is also a troublesome thing to tie the horse to prevent it from being stolen. You can't just put the horse in your pocket.
Moreover, this matter was a secret operation, and riding a horse would be too ostentatious.
In other words, even if Huang Xiaoshi was running wildly on this road, everyone would at most think that his wife had run away or the house was on fire, that is, it would not be surprising.
But if you ride a horse and run wildly, many people will notice it. If someone asks, they will probably remember it many days later:
"Ah, later that day, someone hit a horse and galloped past on the official road. Oh, that horse ran so fast, it almost killed the old man."
This is not because there are too few people riding horses.
…
There was the pier in front of him, so Huang Xiaoshi found a place and sat down calmly.
He first took out a piece of cold cake from his arms, and then took out a gourd of light wine.
This kind of light wine sold with a gourd is convenient for travelers. After drinking the wine, you can also put water in it. Selling wine is actually selling gourds.
Huang Xiaoshi ate up the cake and wine in a few mouthfuls, and then started to operate the [Nine Yang Magic].
[Nine-Yang Magic] has just reached Level 2. Huang Xiaoshi is taking a rest now to replenish the internal energy consumed during the rush, and also see if there is any surprise: upgrade [Nine-Yang Magic] to Lv3.
Only when the skill reaches a small level of success can it have practical value.
After turning around for more than ten times, Huang Xiaoshi opened his eyes.
No surprise, [Nine Yang Magic Skill] is still Level 2.
After arriving at the dock, Huang Xiaoshi didn't panic anymore. There was a reason for this.
This era is not suitable for traveling at night, unless it is a full moon night and the sky is clear.
Today is not that month, and the weather is not that good. Although there is a hazy moon, it is only better than being unable to see.
When traveling at night, it is impossible to ride a horse except on official roads. Even on official roads, there is a risk of riding a horse to death, including both the person and the horse.
Moreover, it is impossible to sail a boat in the river at night, and the boat can easily hit the shore and become stranded.
Therefore, even if Xiao Yao is right, if those people want to abandon the boat and go ashore at night, they will not go too far. And they can find their landing place by following the boat.
This is also the reason why Huang Xiaoshi is less anxious after nightfall. Ordinary people are blind when night falls, but night fighting is where a warrior is most powerful.
The darker the color, the more advantageous it is.
Not to mention the hazy moonlight now, even if Huang Xiaoshi closes his eyes and relies solely on perception, he can still achieve omniscience and omniscience.
No one really thinks that when Hua Man Lou fights with someone, she relies on her nose and ears.
…
It's late at night, and people at this time usually go to bed early.
People in later generations would definitely still be having fun now, but people in this era would have gone to bed early.
The deepest sleep a person has is the deep sleep just after entering sleep state. At this time, the human brain is shutting down for maintenance, especially after a tiring day, it is difficult to wake up even with thunder.
This is the valuable experience Huang Xiaoshi gained when he lived in the same room with those rough guys from Shennong Baicaomen.
The time for action has come.
Huang Xiaoshi came to the river first. He dug some mud and smeared it on his hands and face, making his face black and dirty.
Afterwards, Huang Xiaoshi took off his two pieces of clothing, threw them into the mud, rubbed them over and over a few times, then put on his coat inside and his underwear on the outside.
Well, no one can recognize who Huang Xiaoshi is.
Huang Xiaoshi is such a cautious person.
…
There are some boats parked at the dock. Although Huang Xiaoshi thinks the probability is low, if he wants to check, he should start with the boats at the dock.
What if the other party happens to choose to unload the goods at the dock.
In fact, if you think about it differently, it would be easier to unload the cargo at the dock.
Just find a carriage, put the person into the sack, and then stuff some cloth strips into it so that the human figure cannot be seen from the outside. In this way, you can directly take the sack out of the boat in an open and honest manner and throw it into the carriage.
As for the carriage, there are so many people coming and going on the pier, so it won't attract anyone's attention at all.
Now Huang Xiaoshi's perception ability is very strong, but this thing is very much like a radar. The more powerful the radar, the easier it is for people to capture the signal.
Similarly, if a person deliberately restrains his aura, it will be difficult to be discovered unless he is very close to others or the other person's martial arts is too high.
In stealth mode, Huang Xiaoshi, the ancestor of Fu Di, naturally adopted the breath-holding mode, and he even held his breath.
What you want is to kill without surprise.
Arriving at the pier, Huang Xiaoshi immediately felt something was wrong.
Huang Xiaoshi also often comes to Luoyang Pier. There are people guarding the goods during the day, and there must be people guarding the boat at night. Otherwise, what would happen if the things on the boat, or even the boat, were stolen.
However, when they arrived at the pier, Huang Xiaoshi did not hear the sound that was supposed to be there: the constant snoring while sleeping.
This does not mean that snoring will make you sleep soundly, but snoring is a difficult problem to treat. As age increases, most people will snore, and it will become more serious.
When a place is too quiet, it means something is wrong.
After thinking of this, Huang Xiaoshi stopped being sneaky. He stood on the dock, unblocked his breath shield, first exhaled a breath of foul air, and then took a few deep breaths.
After getting ready to escape, Huang Xiaoshi turned on [Warrior Sense], turned on the maximum power, and forced a dodge.
In an instant, with Huang Xiaoshi as the center of the circle, everything within a radius of several hundred meters was clearly illuminated.
Huang Xiaoshi's flash of perception was like setting off a flare in the dark night. He saw other people, and others also saw him. It was like he had stung a hornet's nest.
Huang Xiaoshi was already ready to escape.
Let's put it this way, Huang Xiaoshi came this time with no intention of rescuing the person. Since Lu Shaolin was coming, there was no need for him to finish the work for him.
Huang Xiaoshi just needs to hold those people back until Lu Shaolin comes to finish the deal.
With Master Lu's martial arts skills and mind, even if he can't defeat him, there are other ways.
What was completely different from what was expected was that the entire pier was empty, and even the boats at the pier were empty.
"It's really a trap."
Huang Xiaoshi realized in an instant that some unscrupulous guy had set a trap on the people of Dongchang, specifically to trap the secret spy of Dongchang who came to save people today.
This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone.
They want the princess, and they will use her to catch a few more secret spies.
You must know that the most terrifying thing about Dongchang, apart from those half-knowing people, is their secret spies. These are the elites of Dongchang.
Each secret agent has his own public identity and secret identity, and each secret agent has great authority.
Because today's matter is too special and can only be handled by secret spies, they are fishing here.
Once captured, it is difficult for a person to withstand the torture just by relying on his own willpower.
Under three trees, there is nothing you can't ask for, and there is nothing you can't ask.
Since this is a trap, I won’t play any more.
When Huang Xiaoshi was about to leave, he took another look at a certain ship.
The bad thing lies in this glance, because there is the only person in this dock on this ship.
If Huang Xiaoshi guessed correctly, this is the bait used for fishing: Princess Wei Ni.
If you want to catch big fish, you must hook up the bait, so this princess must be real.
Huang Xiaoshi had a sudden thought. There was no one within a few hundred meters. If I moved faster, wouldn't I be able to steal the bait?
Huang Xiaoshi, who is well-informed, has naturally encountered various fishing bureaus. As a shining second-generation rich man, he is a fat golden arowana, the fisherman's favorite.
However, there are no absolutes. Since some people spread bait to fish, there are also fish that specialize in stealing bait.
Most people don't think this is necessary, but people who have stolen bait know that it smells really good.
At this moment, Huang Xiaoshi's platinum (death-seeking) soul, which had not been romantic for a long time, burned brightly again.
In the flash of lightning, Huang Xiaoshi gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed into the boat.
It's really like a fisherman fishing at night. For fear that the fish won't be able to see the bait clearly, the boat is actually lit with lights.
Under the light, Huang Xiaoshi saw a tied up alien girl.
At this moment, Huang Xiaoshi heard a loud shout from outside:
"The castrated dog will die soon if he doesn't come out!"
…
Although Ke Jianglong is not young anymore, his internal skills are extremely superb. After leaving the city gate, Ke Jianglong ran in a hurry, and he had no intention of waiting for Xiao Yao.
This is Ke Jianglong, who is reasonable but not sentimental.
If Xiao Yao can't keep up, that's his business. Saving people is like putting out fires. Since your skills are inferior to others, it's okay not to come.
However, it wasn't him, Ke Jianglong, who made things so urgent.
If he had set out from Luoyang earlier, he wouldn't have had to rush there in such a hurry.
Of course, Xiao Yao didn't know if the master was deliberately testing him, or if someone had reminded the master not to leave the city too early to avoid disturbing the situation. Anyway, Xiao Yao didn't dare to ask, so he just gritted his teeth and ran behind the master.
Finally, when we arrived at the pier, we saw that the pier was dimly lit, and it didn't look like there was anyone there. However, before Ke Jianglong could stand still, Xiao Yao yelled at the top of his lungs: "You castrated dog, you must die quickly if you don't come out!"
Xiao Yao's loud shout made Ke Jianglong frown.
"Master." Xiao Yao whispered to Ke Jianglong: "We are going to rescue people, but the princess is in the hands of thieves, so she must be strictly guarded.
My voice is like deliberately trying to scare someone away.
If they don't move, we can't take action. Only when they are alerted can we take action.
Wait a minute, I will lead the thief to the dock. Master, please hurry up and save the princess."
Xiao Yao's explanation made Ke Jianglong turn from anger to happiness.
Yes, this kid has a bright mind.
Indeed, now that the princess is in the hands of a thief, Ke Jianglong has thought of many ways, but he has always tried to avoid them and does not know how to start.
Xiao Yao's move seemed reckless, but it was actually a clever move.
There are two people on his side, one is bright and the other is dark, one is serious and the other is strange, just in time to catch the thief off guard.
"Okay. Xiao Yao, let's work together to kill the thief." After Ke Jianglong finished speaking, he patted Xiao Yao's shoulder, and then the jumping man disappeared.
"Bitch thief, your grandpa is here, why don't you come out quickly!" Xiao Yao used up his internal strength again and shouted loudly.
This time, Xiao Yao never shouted "loyalty beggars" like in Hangzhou City. After that bloody lesson, Xiao Yao grew up a lot.
…
Hearing the shouting outside, Huang Xiaoshi recognized that it was Xiao Yao shouting.
But there was something strange about what Xiao Yao shouted. He was telling himself to get out quickly.
This means that something must have happened that Xiao Yao cannot control.
Looking at the girl in front of him, a light flashed in Huang Xiaoshi's eyes.
The easiest way to destroy King Cheng's conspiracy is to give her a knife, then jump into the water and escape.
After a few breaths, Huang Xiaoshi pulled out the dagger stuck in his belt and stabbed the princess.
…
"What a group of people. You killed our people and you are still shouting here. I'm afraid you are tired of living."
Huang Xiaoshi walked out of the cabin holding the dagger, speaking in Shaanxi dialect.
The ordinary Huang Xiaoshi actually has many ordinary talents. For example, he learns dialects very quickly.
Of course, this is also due to the Internet in later generations, where all the cordial greetings from all over the world are familiar. With this familiarity, it is not too difficult to learn another dialect.
In addition to Beijing dialect, Huang Xiaoshi also speaks three or four dialects. Although he is not exactly the same as the locals, he can still speak a few short sentences decently.
…
Seeing the murderer holding a sharp knife in front of him, Xiao Yao was stunned.
Xiao Yao originally thought that the person in the cabin was Huang Xiaoshi, but he didn't expect that there was actually a murderer.
Then that roar just now was not in vain.
The roars that Xiao Yao made just now were to tell Huang Xiaoshi to "come out quickly".
Xiao Yao's plan was very simple. He would "lead" Huang Xiaoshi away and let his master "take the opportunity" to save people. After a fight at the end, he accidentally let Huang Xiaoshi go.
Xiao Yao understood that this was a strategy of killing three birds with one stone.
The first was to plot against Princess Wei Ni and ruin the marriage plan of the Nomadic Ministry and the imperial court; the second was to attack Dongchang; the third was to create hostility between the Beggar Gang and Dongchang.
Xiao Yao hoped that it was Huang Xiaoshi who came to save people now. In this case, he could avoid a hostile conflict between the Beggar Gang and Dongchang.
It's just that the guy holding a sharp blade in front of me is obviously not Huang Xiaoshi.
Moreover, what did this person mean when he said he killed their people?
Xiao Yao didn't react for a moment.
Seeing the person in front of him approaching step by step, Xiao Yaolai didn't think much, he used the move [Arrogant Dragon Has Regret] and pushed towards the murderer.
…
Ah, Xiao Yao is such a loser.
Huang Xiaoshi used to think that Xiao Yao was very smart, but now Huang Xiaoshi seems to feel that he has overestimated him.
In other words, Huang Xiaoshi's disguise was so successful that even Xiao Yao couldn't recognize him.
Of course, if Huang Xiaoshi used his usual Shu accent, Xiao Yao would definitely be able to hear it, but in that case, Huang Xiaoshi's identity would be exposed.
Today's game is more complicated than Xiao Yao thought.
Someone tried to kill many birds with one stone.
As soon as Huang Xiaoshi entered the cabin, in addition to seeing the princess tied up like a rice dumpling, he also saw two female corpses beside her.
It was because he wasted time looking through the female body and questioning the princess that Huang Xiaoshi came out a little late.
These two were the killers of Tianyi City. They were killed with one move. There was no injury or blood. It seemed that they were killed by key acupoints.
If Huang Xiaoshi guessed correctly, Tianyi City would not just arrange two women here, there must be other killers.
Huang Xiaoshi had no intention of guessing what they were going to do, but what he knew was that someone could assassinate all the killers in Tianyi City without anyone noticing.
Later, Huang Xiaoshi cut the strangling strip on the princess's mouth with a knife, took out a walnut from her mouth, and then told her that he was here to save her, and asked the princess if she had seen anything just now.
Of course, that's what Huang Xiaoshi asked. He didn't know if the princess could understand the Central Plains dialect.
I didn’t expect that Princess Weini could understand the Chinese dialect, and I didn’t expect that the princess would remain calm under such circumstances.
Judging from this little thing, Princess Wei Ni is indeed an extraordinary person.
The princess told Huang Xiaoshi that there was only one person on the other side, but he moved very quickly. As soon as he entered the cabin, his figure flashed, and the two women fell down.
Sure enough, this is the same as Huang Xiaoshi's inference.
In such a small space, the killing power of an acupoint master is unmatched by other weapons.
Of course, the princess may not believe that Huang Xiaoshi is here to save her, but no matter who Huang Xiaoshi is, it will only be good for her to cooperate obediently.
Outside the cabin, Xiao Yao was already shouting "Come out quickly". Huang Xiaoshi was worried that Xiao Yao had other intentions, so he quickly left the cabin.
As soon as he left the house, Huang Xiaoshi said clearly to Xiao Yao: You killed our people.
What he meant was to remind Xiao Yao that there was a third party present.
Xiao Yao didn't understand such a crucial sentence.
Seeing Xiao Yao push him over with [Arrogance and Regret], Huang Xiaoshi knew that Xiao Yao did not recognize him and that he was serious.
In this case, Huang Xiaoshi kicked Xiao Yao with [Shadowless Kick].
