After Cheng Dalei said this, Zhang Fei and A Xi both shrugged and couldn't lift their heads.
They didn't know whether Cheng Dalei's words "so powerful" were referring to the assassin who sneaked in mysteriously, or the two vicious dogs that were hit by flying rocks. Anyway, he couldn't be referring to the Xi Zi Team or Zhang Zi Jun.
"Don't worry, Master, I will find the assassin and hand it over to the Master for interrogation." Zhang Fei gritted his teeth.
"Search the whole city. She will definitely not be able to escape. Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we will still find her." Ah Xi said.
The two of them were working hard, determined to mobilize their manpower to cleanse the entire city, and to find the assassin and avenge him.
"Wait a minute."
Cheng Dalei is not too anxious. What should come will eventually come, and he should find a way to deal with it. Nie Yinniang is not an ordinary person, and she will certainly not be able to be dealt with by ordinary means. Cheng Dalei estimates that searching the whole city will inevitably involve a large number of troops, and I am afraid that the final meaning will be
Not big either.
"Could it be that the boss already has an idea?" Ah Xi asked.
"Not yet, but what we need to do first is..." Cheng Dalei paused and said, "First, reinforce the house."
The method Cheng Dalei came up with really left Ah Xi and Zhang Fei speechless. He drew a blueprint, had the craftsman's workshop process the iron bars, and reinforced the four walls of the house. Including the windows and doorways, if the walls were removed, Cheng Dalei would be equivalent to
Living in an iron cage. Cheng Dalei has made up his mind not to leave the house, and his daily meals will be delivered through the crack in the door.
During the construction project, Cheng Dalei sat quietly in the room. He was wearing a toad armor that shines on the moon, a sword on his waist, and a ghost-faced ax placed within easy reach.
"Master, is this necessary?"
Xu Shenji stood outside, looking through the window at Cheng Dalei inside.
"Ten thousand years is not too long to be cautious, but just being careless once is enough." Cheng Dalei sat still. If he wanted to live safely, he had to sacrifice something.
What Cheng Dalei is sacrificing now is his dignity.
"Then how long do you plan to hide like this? You can't hide in there forever, right?" Xu Shenji.
Cheng Dalei sighed. As for how long he would have to hide, he actually didn't know yet.
Most people in the village knew about Cheng Dalei's assassination. Everyone had to be cautious about this matter. The reinforcement of the house that Cheng Dalei needed was completed within one day.
With the city lord's palace as the center, the defense was strengthened. Even if Cheng Dalei did not need to search the whole city, it was impossible not to do this work. It was just that there was no need to mobilize so many troops. However, as Cheng Dalei expected, the whole city
The search resulted in nothing being found.
The assassin was like a ghost, coming and disappearing out of thin air. No one knew where she was. But Cheng Dalei knew that she had never left. Now she was hiding in a place he didn't expect, waiting for the right opportunity to give him
A fatal sword.
Cheng Dalei breaks into a cold sweat every time he thinks of this incident. Fortunately, he had been on guard, otherwise Nie Yinniang would have sneaked in unnoticed that night and killed himself with a sword. What Xu Shenji and others would know the next day
At that time, what I saw was the tragic scene of my own head falling to the ground.
Day after day passed, and Cheng Dalei did not leave the house. Such days were indeed very boring, and he could not see other people. Cheng Dalei's daily life was almost like going to jail.
However, Cheng Dalei probably knew that because he was so boring, Nie Yinniang's life was also difficult, and now the competition was about who could endure it more.
Counting on all counts, this is already the seventh night that Cheng Dalei has been hiding.
That night, a person quietly appeared on the roof of the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. No one thought that not only did Nie Yin not leave Toad City in the past few days, in fact, she didn't even leave the City Lord's Mansion, hiding in an uninhabited room.
On the rafters of the house.
Zhang Fei searched the whole city, but there were many female relatives in the city lord's palace, so naturally he couldn't let a group of soldiers break in. He just took a quick look and couldn't find Nie Yinniang.
She was nestled in the city lord's mansion, listening to the chats of her servants, and also gained some understanding of Cheng Dalei's current situation.
After knowing that Cheng Dalei was hiding in an iron house without leaving the house, she cursed secretly in her heart for being cunning. She had killed many people in her life, some were despicable, some were cruel, but as timid as a mouse like Cheng Dalei, she was still serious.
Encountered for the first time in my life.
Cheng Dalei was waiting, and so was she, waiting for a suitable opportunity to take action.
Tonight, she quietly left her hiding place and walked on the roof towards the house where Cheng Dalei was hiding. At the same time, she also checked whether there was anything strange about the security of the city lord's mansion today.
If this was a trap, she would have noticed it immediately.
The lights were still on in Cheng Dalei's house, and she had already landed on the roof with her tiptoes, as light as a civet cat.
Nie Yinniang grew up in the mountains and became friends with white apes. She unknowingly developed a wonderful light skill. She climbed over mountains and ridges, jumped across houses and ridges as if walking on the ground.
She opened a tile on the roof and quietly looked inside. She saw Cheng Dalei lighting an oil lamp and reading a book. He remained motionless for a long time, not even turning a page of the book.
Nie Yinniang had to wonder if this was some kind of dummy. There had been a target disguised as a straw man in an attempt to lure her into a trap, but it naturally failed in the end.
Cheng Dalei suddenly yawned, stood up, pulled out the toilet from under the bed and started to relieve himself.
Nie Yinniang's eyes did not avert. She had killed many people. In her eyes, the targets were neither male nor female, they were nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered. To a certain extent, she had no concept of male and female in her heart. She grew up in the mountains, so it was nothing
My friend is just a nun who teaches her how to kill. In her eyes, there are only two types of people, those who can be killed and those who cannot be killed.
Not only did she not avert her gaze, she also took the opportunity to examine Cheng Dalei's appearance and compare it with the memory in her mind to avoid that the person in the room was someone else pretending to be him.
It was confirmed that Cheng Dalei was in the room. He had indeed come up with a way to put himself in a cage, thinking that he could escape with his life.
I have to say that my idea was a little too naive and I underestimated Nie Yinniang.
This iron cage makes it impossible for outsiders to get in easily, but when he wants to get out, he can't get out easily either.
He built a tomb for himself. As long as he broke in, he would be able to cut off his head within ten breaths.
As for Nie Yinniang's own escape problem, he would not think about it until he succeeded in assassinating the target.
Nie Yinniang took a deep breath and struck the roof with her palm. With the sound of tiles falling to the ground, she appeared in the room with a palm-sized dagger in her hand.
Cheng Dalei had just put on his pants when he heard a loud bang above his head. Before he could recover, he saw a woman standing in front of him.
He finally knew what Nie Yinniang looked like, and he had never felt that death was so close to him.
