Under the moonlight, the figure holding a long knife was really like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The light of the knife was flying like chopping melons and vegetables. There was not even the sound of the weapons clashing. None of the more than ten men in black belonged to him.
The enemy of one.
And the man holding the long bow had no influence at all at night. He stood in front of the courtyard gate. If someone broke through the swordsman's defense, he would casually shoot an arrow. When the string sounded, someone would cover his throat and fall to the ground.
, twitched a few times and then became silent again.
The strange thing is that those people knew they were outmatched, but none of them seemed to care. They rushed forward without fear of death, even if they rushed forward only to die in vain.
"Death warrior?"
The few people surrounding them looked at each other, nodded slightly, and quickly joined the battle group.
In just a moment, only one of the dozen or so men in black was standing. One man grabbed the leader by the neck and asked in a cold voice: "Who sent you here?"
He asked this question, but got no response for a long time. At this moment, a person walked over, stretched out his finger to explore the nose of the man in black, shook his head, and complained: "You guy
, You didn’t do it lightly or harshly, you strangled people to death, so why do you ask?”
The man let go of his hand, and the body of the man in black fell straight down.
He knelt down, pinched his mouth, stood up, shook his head and said, "He committed suicide by taking poison. Who could be so generous as to send so many dead soldiers at once?"
Traveling around the world all year round, of course they know about the existence of dead soldiers.
The families of princes and nobles usually have dead soldiers. These people work hard for their masters. They have been instilled with the idea of loyalty to their masters since they were young. For an order from their master, they will even risk life and death, and most of the tasks they carry out are assaults or assassinations.
.
Although these people also have ideas, they only know loyalty. Even if they have been martial arts since childhood, their achievements are extremely limited. But when there are many people, their fierce and fearless momentum will cause people a lot of headaches.
If it weren't for the two top experts on the Heavenly Ranking and the marksman today, the remaining few people might not be able to stop them.
The knife-wielding man frowned and said, "Call someone over and clean this place up."
Before a few people had time to take action, there was a sound of footsteps from the alley, and more than ten figures walked over quickly. When they got closer, they saw corpses scattered on the ground, and someone immediately held down their waists.
Weapons in the world, loudly said: "Who are you?"
Seeing another person appear, the expressions of several people finally changed. The man holding the knife looked at an old man in gray clothes in the crowd, and couldn't help but clenched the long knife in his hand. He glanced at the man beside him, and the man immediately
Understanding, he took two steps back and took out a bamboo tube from his waist.
"Who are you?" The man nodded and looked at the figure in front of him and asked.
"The Secret Service is acting, put down your weapons immediately!" Seeing that the courtyard door at the rear was not open, the General of the Secret Service felt relieved, turned to look at the person opposite, and said immediately.
"Secret Agent?" After hearing these three words, the man holding the knife relaxed obviously, but still looked at him suspiciously and asked, "The King of Heaven and the Tiger of the Earth?"
"One of our own."
When everyone in the Secret Service heard this, they immediately put down their weapons. The general was about to step forward when he saw the man opposite him thrust his long sword forward.
After he was stunned for a moment, he said: "Chicken stewed with mushrooms."
"Offended!" When the man heard this, he put away the knife and raised his hand.
"It doesn't matter, you should be more vigilant." The general shook his head, pointed at the corpse on the ground and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
"They are all dead soldiers." The man glanced at them and said, "Coming here at this time should be detrimental to the two girls. Since your secret agent department is here, I will leave the rest of the matter to you."
"As it should be." The general nodded, waved his hand to the rear, and said, "Take all the corpses back."
Your Majesty attaches great importance to the case of the son of the Minister of Rites, Wailang, and strictly ordered the Secret Service and Dali Temple to solve the case within a time limit. However, no useful clues were obtained from the Minister of Criminal Affairs, and there has been no breakthrough in the case. The Secret Service has been paying attention to this case.
It was only because of the movement that he could arrive so quickly after discovering the abnormality.
Although he arrived a step too late, only corpses were left here, but to the Secret Service, there was not much difference between corpses and living people.
"Thanks to a few of you tonight." The general bowed his hand again.
It is conceivable that if there were not these people, what happened to the two girls, let alone Mr. Li's explanation, I am afraid that the punishment from His Majesty will not be light.
The man waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, our duty is also to protect the two girls, but the identities of these people need you to check carefully."
The general smiled and said: "Don't worry, the rest will be left to us."
Several people pushed them far away and watched the figures swaying under the moonlight without making too much noise. Soon, all the corpses were taken away by them.
"Here..." The secret agent general pointed to the ground.
A man waved his hand and said, "Leave it to us."
After the people from the Secret Service retreated, another subtle voice came from the venue.
"I'm lucky today, we bumped into him."
"I don't know how many points I will get this time. If I have enough, I will ask Miss Liu for advice on two moves. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to get advice from the grandmaster in my lifetime..."
"Haha, you wish for your own good. Mr. Lu is digging at it. I think you need to save some more..."
"No way, I killed more than a dozen dead soldiers this time..."
"Bah, shameless guy, you can take all this credit..."
…
Not long after, a light came on somewhere in the courtyard. Xiao Cui came out with a beautiful sheep pillow in her arms, passed through the moon gate, stood in the yard outside for a while, and murmured, "It's so noisy at night."
Why are you so noisy that you can't let anyone sleep..."
After complaining like this, he yawned again. He could hardly keep his eyes open. He turned around and walked back. The only room with the light on quickly went out again.
…
"Ah, what's going on? Did you get flooded last night?"
In the early morning, the sleepy girl opened the courtyard door, stood on the spotless washed bluestone in front of the door, and said in surprise.
"It's Miss Xiaocui, why did you get up so late today?"
A voice came from the front. Xiao Cui turned her head and looked at the lazy guy sitting in front of the teahouse opposite. She curled her lips and said: "I don't know who killed Qian Dao. He was making noise outside at night..., yes
Here, has this been washed?"
The waiter nodded, rubbed his shoulders and said, "Yes, the shopkeeper said that the outside was not clean and affected the customers' mood for drinking tea. He asked us to get up before dawn and wash the whole alley with water. It was so tiring.
Personally..."
Xiao Cui did not continue to talk. After thanking her, she turned and walked towards the yard.
She didn't believe what the guy said. He was the laziest in the whole alley. He slept all day long. How could he suddenly become so diligent?
However, after the floor was washed, it did look much more pleasing to the eye...
In the Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Jing held a report just submitted by the Secret Intelligence Service in his hand. He sighed and said, "Is it really Li Xian?"
"I haven't disciplined him in these years. Is it right or wrong?" He murmured. After a while, he crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it aside. He said, "Send the order and let Dali Temple and the secret police handle this case."
The spies should stop investigating."
"I obey." Chang De bowed and said.
The King of Shu's lineage suffered a major blow this time. His Majesty's power in the court was almost completely purged. I am afraid it has reached a critical limit. If the pressure is too severe, there will be a big backlash.
Emperor Jing thought for a while and asked again: "Is there a vacancy for the position of doctor in the Ministry of Rites?"
Chang De said: "Your Majesty just demoted the doctor of the Ministry of Rites the day before yesterday. He has not been appointed before."
Emperor Jing thought for a moment and said: "That's all, Chen Yunshan is a member of the Ministry of Rites, a foreign doctor, and he and the Chen family are no longer of the same mind. He passes orders to the Ministry of Officials, and Chen Yunshan is appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites..."
