Chapter 372 Assassination in the city

Shen Qing looked back and saw a figure disappearing among the water carriages and horses.

He frowned slightly, his feeling should be correct, but why, when he turned around, there was no one? Shen Qing's eyes were clear, and he looked around again. The market was still very lively, but he still didn't find anything unusual.

He suspected that he felt wrong, so he frowned again, but there was no result, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Shen Qing continued to walk forward slowly. There was a shop selling snacks next to it, and he took a look.

The boss said enthusiastically: "Sir, would you like some snacks?"

Shen Qing looked at it and seemed quite interested. He picked up a piece of pastry and asked about it, and finally bought two pastries.

The boss smiled and said: "The pastries we have here are the most delicious pastries in the entire upper city. Sir, come again if they are delicious."

Shen Qing nodded. He had no interest in pastries, but he just wanted to test it out. After testing it, he didn't notice anything unusual, so he gave up his doubts.

"Well, let's buy a map first." Shen Qing said to himself. After all, he would live in Shangcheng permanently. How could he not understand the structure of Shangcheng?

Anyway, we just returned to the city gate to gather in the evening. It was still early, so it didn’t matter if we walked around for a while.

He bought it immediately. Shen Qing immediately went to inquire and found a store where he could buy the Shangcheng map. However, the price of the map made him feel a little sad.

The boss patted his chest and said, "Our map of the upper city can be said to be the most complete map of the upper city. After you see this map, you can go anywhere."

For this most complete map, Shen Qing still spent the money. After paying, she hugged her map tightly in pain.

He was in pain when the strange feeling came again, as if someone was watching him secretly.

The expression on Shen Qing's face immediately faded, the tips of his ears moved slightly, and his five senses were used particularly well at this time.

He could hear the sound of the wind on both sides and even his own heartbeat, but he still didn't feel the presence of that person.

Shen Qing's face remained silent, and he paused for a moment before continuing to walk forward.

Shen Qing's mind went through thousands of thoughts, and this time there was no mistake. The person behind him was definitely staring at him, but who was staring at him? And why was he staring at him and not showing up?

Shen Qing didn't have the habit of sitting still and waiting for death. Since he couldn't find that person and the person didn't take the initiative, he had no choice but to let him show some flaws.

With all kinds of thoughts rushing through his mind, Shen Qing unfolded his map.

The map is densely drawn and everything is written on it. As the boss said, it is the most complete map among the maps last week.

Various Yuan Pavilions are marked on the map, ranging from the auction house, the domain of the eight major families, to the small restaurant with delicious food, all of which are specially marked.

There was also a map of this busy city. Shen Qing browsed it quickly, nodded with satisfaction, put away the map, and walked forward with his hands behind his back. When he reached a corner, he turned in. He didn't look outside and wasn't worried.

.

The noisy sound gradually faded away from him. Shen Qing clasped his hands behind his back, tapping the fingers of his right hand rhythmically on the back of his left hand, one step at a time.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Shen Qing came to a small alley. Except for Shen Qing, there was no one in the alley. There was not even the sound of birds, and the eaves of the house almost covered the sky.

A gust of wind blew by, which was cool. Shen Qing suddenly stopped and a strand of hair was blown by the wind.

Shen Qing's eyes were soft, and there was a slight smile on his lips. He said warmly: "Your Excellency, you have been following me for so long, are you tired?"

There was no sound, but Shen Qing turned around slowly as if he had a premonition of something.

What he saw was a man wearing navy blue linen clothes. He was so thin that he seemed to be all skin and bones. The navy blue clothes were so empty that it felt like there was nothing inside.

He was not masked, and his black face was extremely ordinary, but the high protruding cheekbones and the scars from the corners of his eyes to his chin made people feel a little creepy.

His eyes were sharp, showing some murderous intent, but also a little arrogant. He also stood at a distance with his hands behind his hands, but his back was slightly bent downward.

As if he didn't bother to talk to Shen Qing, he didn't speak, and the wind made his navy blue clothes bulge.

Hearing no answer, Shen Qing was not in a hurry. He slowly guessed in his mind, but said in his mouth: "I wonder what your purpose is in following a nobody like me?"

"Purpose?" He finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse, as if he was disdainful, and he sneered: "Dead people don't need to know."

"Oh?" Shen Qing immediately answered the word, his voice rising slightly, giving off a hint of suspicion, and his eyes narrowed slightly, giving off a particularly dangerous flavor.

"Really? Are you so sure that I will be a dead person?" Shen Qing squinted his eyes, but there was a slight smile on his lips.

Shen Qing was still speculating in his mind that he had not provoked anyone recently, so who were those sent to deal with him?

"Of course." The man in navy blue seemed to be extremely confident in himself. He stooped and had extremely sharp eyes. He did not pay any attention to Shen Qing's provocation. He was extremely confident in his own abilities.

"Have I offended you? Who sent you?" Shen Qing had already determined from the observation just now that the person opposite him did not pose a threat to him.

As for the reason why he couldn't find him at the beginning, it might be because he had some treasure on him and covered up some things.

The man in navy blue was originally very disdainful of Shen Qing and didn't intend to pay much attention to him. He didn't take this little brat to heart at first, but he didn't expect that the so-called brat in front of him looked calmer than him.

Actually even more disdainful than him.

The man in navy blue didn't understand this kind of mentality, so he felt a little annoyed. He narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Aren't you afraid? You are about to become a dead man."

"Oh? Dead person?" Shen Qing repeated what he just said with a smile, but his eyes were extremely cold: "That's not necessarily the case."

This person was really provoking someone. The man in blue had never been provoked like this in his life. He immediately became furious and went up to attack.

He saw a spear hitting him quickly.

Although Shen Qing was provocative, he did not dare to relax at all. Seeing this, he immediately put his hands together and roared: "Sword!"

A sharp sword immediately appeared above Shen Qing's head, and the spear was already in front of him. Shen Qing's feet moved slightly, and he didn't know how he moved. The next moment, he was five meters away.

"Swift, swift wind bone-eviscerating style." At this moment, Shen Qing muttered another sentence in a low voice, and at the same time, he held the hilt of the sword above his head. As soon as the spell came out, his whole body started to move.

He immediately rushed forward quickly, the sword forming a protective layer around him and repeling the spear at the same time.

The man in navy blue didn't expect that the kid opposite him was so powerful from the beginning. Before he could fully deploy his spear, his spear was already shattered by the opponent.

The navy blue man gritted his teeth, with a ferocious look on his scarred face.

This is definitely a shame in his life. His spear was shattered by a little kid!

He gritted his teeth, and at the same time used his Yuan Skill again, and rushed towards Shen Qing, and the two fought together.

Fortunately, this is an empty alley, so no one will be accidentally injured, but accidental damage to these walls is inevitable.

The walls on both sides bounced back from the impact of the two men's blows, causing small cracks in the walls and stones bouncing up from time to time.

Shen Qing suddenly felt a chill pass by him. He immediately sensed something was wrong, and immediately roared: "Shen, sword like mountain style!" His sword immediately changed its shape, severely suppressing the navy blue man.

But he was still injured after all. Shen Qing reached out and touched his neck. A trace of blood appeared on his fingertips. Shen Qing held his fingertips tightly, and a wild smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Very good, he is injured, don't even think about running away!

Shen Qing looked over with an indifferent gaze, as sharp as the sword above his head.

He looked at the navy blue man coldly and uttered two words: "Seeking death!"

For a moment, the navy blue man was so coaxed by his momentum that he almost froze in place.

A gust of wind passed by, and Shen Qing immediately disappeared on the spot. The man in navy squinted his eyes, but before he could react, a cool voice came from in front of him.

"Are you looking for me?"

A ray of chill passed by, and the navy blue man immediately became frightened. He didn't expect that the situation would turn around in just a short while.

The man in navy blue touched his neck, which was in the same position as Shen Qing. The only difference was that his scars were more severe.

The navy blue man frowned fiercely and sighed, secretly thinking that he didn't expect this kid to be so powerful. Is this employer really a rip-off?

Just as he was thinking about it, he took a few steps back and saw Shen Qing muttering another sentence, secretly thinking that he was careless and didn't take him to heart, but it was okay, he didn't come alone.

The sword on Shen Qing's head changed again, and the dark blue man's expression finally changed. He took a few steps back, put his finger to his mouth and whistled.

Several people immediately fell down beside him, wearing black robes.

The man in navy blue spat again, raised his eyebrows, put his hands on his hips and said, "Grandma, catch him!"

Several people immediately surrounded Shen Qing.

Shen Qing frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the other party had helpers, but the current situation did not allow him to be distracted at all. Several people were fighting together.

Stones on the walls on both sides flew out, hitting everyone.

After a moment, Shen Qing separated from them. Everyone was injured to varying degrees. Shen Qing looked at a blood mark on his arm, squeezed his palm, and then looked at the killer opposite.

Who sent them? Are there any other helpers? Shen Qing doesn't know, and now he can only continue to work like this.

Shen Qing frowned fiercely. Although he was not afraid of these killers, he was still somewhat powerless...
