After crossing, I suppressed the shadow guard who wanted to kill me

Chapter 23

==============================

It is said that the night is dark and the wind is high and the moon is high, when killing people and setting fires.

I don't know who said this sentence first, but now Su Hongyu deeply feels it with his own experience, this is really a talk of experience summed up by the old-timers who are in the rivers and lakes, and it is very old-fashioned.

He groped forward cautiously in the dark.During the day, the verdant and verdant forests are hidden in the darkness, revealing a hideous and terrifying posture.One didn't pay attention, and there was a "click" under his feet, which made Su Hongyu's eyelids twitch, and he kept moving forward and became still like a black statue.He listened carefully to the sound coming through the wind with his ears sideways.

There are the sounds of whirling leaves, the sound of running water, the sound of unknown insects neighing hard, and the faint voices of people coming through behind them through the shadow of the whirling trees.

Su Hongyu briefly identified the direction, bumped the person on his back upwards, gritted his teeth and walked forward for a while, until he completely left the vague noise behind him, then staggered and found a clean place to stop and catch his breath.

Not long ago, he was wandering around leisurely in Qingyang County. A little further on, he could still eat light and delicious meals at the inn. A little further on, he could still sit in a carriage, regretting that there was no barbecue. But now, he I can only sit on the stones by the river in ragged clothes, and barely satisfy my hunger with a handful of water.

The world is impermanent, but in just half a day, how did he fall to this point?

At noon that day, he and Jing Lingzhi sensed that there might be something different in the city, so they made a quick decision, packed their bags and prepared to leave.

The gatekeeper was still Qian Wu, and Jing Lingzhi stuffed some benefits as before, but Qian Wuer didn't say a word to open a way out.

Yinger and others borrowed a few horses from Hengjiao's shop, and they also got out in the name of buying goods.

The two teams gathered outside the city, Su Hongyu and Jing Lingzhi rode first, another shadow eight and nine guarded from the side, and the second shadow drove the carriage at a leisurely pace.Sitting in the car are three shadows and six shadows, ready to make a move at any time.While the car curtain was shaking, one could vaguely see a man in a blue shirt with loose long hair and his back to the car window, who was doing something.

good chance!

The person hidden in the weeds was not breathing at all, and the already wound arrow on his arm was aimed at the back of the man in the blue shirt through the curtain of the car.The arrowhead made of iron not only does not reflect light in the sun, but turns faint green, which is highly poisonous at a glance.If you look closely, the arrowhead is not an ordinary rhombus, but with barbs.With such a sinister design, the person who was hit by the arrow had no other choice but to die.The only downside is that, in order to have a longer range and more lethality, compared with ordinary assassination arrows, this kind of arrow is much louder, and the reaction is fast enough to avoid it.

but......

According to the news from Shadow 21, the former No. [-] master in Jianghu's martial arts has been greatly reduced for some reason. Coupled with the temptation of Qingyang County, it can basically be concluded that the news is correct. Su Hongyu has long since lost his vigilance and reaction ability as a top master.This arrow must hit.

The temptation to bring down the leader of Hengjiao did not make the lurking people lose their minds.He lowered his breath more and more, slowed down his breathing, glanced at it from the corner of his eye from time to time, moved his arm lightly to aim, and saw that the carriage was getting closer and closer without being too fast.Then, the squeaking wheels lightly pressed past his attack range, and unconsciously carried its owner all the way to the dangerous vortex.

Even God is helping him.The moment the carriage passed the optimal attack distance, the wind from nowhere swirled past, and the figure of the man in the blue shirt was clearly visible.

The fingers that were holding the mechanism tightly tightened, and three arrows smeared with poison and with barbs left the string, whistling and rushing towards the intended target, followed by three soft beeps, and sank into the person's body one after another.The man in the blue shirt swayed and fell into the carriage, out of sight of the assassin.

With the carriage blocking him, he couldn't see whether the target was blood-stained, poisoned, still struggling, or simply dead?All he knew was that the arrow would kill him, and he hit it.mission completed.He retracted his arm crossbow methodically, covered his body in camouflage, and wanted to leave the original place before the opponent chased him.

Ying San hid in the carriage, quickly tore off the blue robe on his body, untied the belt that was covered under the blue robe, grabbed the wooden plank that fell from behind with a backhand grip, and clapped his tongue after seeing the three arrows that had penetrated three points into the wood. Taking a breath, he moved carefully, placed the plank properly, moved his body, and gave Ying six looks to show that he was fine.

Ying Liu nodded, and rushed out of the carriage like lightning, towards the direction of the arrow.Behind him, Ying Er dropped the smoking flare in his hand, drew out his short sword and rushed out.

A red light swayed in the air with its long tail, which could be seen clearly in a radius of hundreds of miles.

Ying Yi flicked his right hand, and the shadow guards who hid together with him moved quickly, surrounded Zhang San, who seemed honest and responsible, and blocked all his escape routes.Two of the shadow guards stepped forward and neatly tied him up firmly.

Yingyi checked and ordered him to be taken back to the punishment hall for detention.

The whole capture process was quiet and fast.In view of the fact that Zhang San's daily activities are very sparsely populated, it greatly facilitates the movements of the shadow guards. There is not even a single witness in broad daylight.

Not long after, the shadow guards sent to arrest Lao Wang reported that Lao Wang had disappeared.

"It's gone?" Ying Yi was puzzled, "Didn't someone be sent to watch? How could it be gone? Where is the person in charge of Old Wang?"

"My lord, it's Ying Nineteen." Ying Shi knelt on the ground with one knee, lowered his head and said his discovery with difficulty, "My subordinates found Ying Nineteen's body in Lao Wang's room. Because of poisoning."

When he found Ying Nineteen, he was on the beam of the house, the usual surveillance location. Ying Nineteen was still maintaining a vigilant posture, but he was already completely cold.The shadow guards perform dangerous missions, dancing with death almost every time.Yingshi had lost many companions, but never was like this time, when the companion was clearly outside the house, but died without a sound, leaving no information behind.

Something was wrong, he should check the place where the accident happened to see if he could find anything, Ying thought, but there were more important things to do than this.Ying Yi made a prompt decision, ordered Ying Shi to seal off the scene of the crime, and called Su Qi to take over the finishing work, while he led more than thirty shadow guards with the best skills down the mountain, looking for the direction of the signal flare.

Su Hongyu, who was on his way, also saw the signal, his heart tightened, and his hand holding the rein unconsciously tightened.Red means being attacked.What happened in Qingyang County is really no exception.The enemy is dark and we are clear, and the other party is prepared, so Ying Er and the others...

"Don't be distracted, Master." Jing Ling, who was running ahead, didn't turn his head, but his voice rang clearly in Su Hongyu's ear, and it was sound transmission, "The enemy's target is you, you are alive, Ying Er Their efforts will not be in vain."

Su Hongyu gritted his back molars loudly, a trace of ferocity flashed across his expressionless face, and the veins in his clenched hands bulged.What Jing Lingzhi said was right, besides, when he agreed to the proposal of dividing the army into two groups, shouldn't he have known that Yinger and his party were in danger?What are you being pretentious about now?

He stopped paying attention to the red signal that was about to burn out, and focused on urging the horse to follow behind Jing Ling, run faster, and faster.The sooner he got out of danger, the sooner he could send someone to rescue Ying Er.

Suddenly, the horse under Jing Lingzhi lost its balance, screamed and fell to the ground, rolled forward a few times under inertia, screamed a few times, and completely lost its vitality.The first time Jing Lingzhi noticed something was wrong, he yelled "Master be careful", and at the same time, he jumped up with his feet on the stirrups, and landed firmly on the back of the horse not far behind him with a backflip, and stretched out his arms to embrace Su Hongyu shoulder, the internal force was running, driving the two of them to leave the horse's back together and land safely on the ground.

After all this was done, Su Hongyu turned his head, and the horse that was running wildly with him just now had already followed in the footsteps of the previous one, and had twisted its neck before even barking.

"My lord." Ying Jiu quickly came to Su Hongyu's side, and guarded the surroundings together with Jing Lingzhi.

Ying Ba, who was investigating the situation, did not delay too long. He knelt down in front of Su Hongyu and whispered, "My lord, someone set up a rope on the road. There are many small but deep holes dug on the road not far ahead. , block it with grass, if you don’t look carefully, you won’t be able to find it.”

Su Hongyu and Jing Lingzhi looked at each other, knowing that they had fallen into each other's trap.This time I really should look at the almanac when I go out this time, Su Hongyu clenched the sword in his hand tightly, this was the worst situation they expected.

"Be careful." Jing Ling ordered.

"Yes."

"Yes."

Ying Ba Ying Jiu is on the periphery, and Jing Lingzhi is in charge of personal protection.He approached Su Hongyu, and saw that the other person trembled from his sudden approach, and a wry smile was suppressed in his heart before it had time to spread.It was his bad guard that made the master fall into such a situation.Back then, he vowed to protect his master, but now that he thinks about it, he is ridiculously arrogant.but......

Jing Lingzhi looked at the master's relaxed body when he realized that the person approaching was him, and the frown unconsciously when he focused his ears.The thumb of Su Hongyu's sword-holding hand lightly pressed against the hilt of the sword, the sword was partly unsheathed, and the mouth of the scabbard was slightly pressed down.Perhaps even Su Hongyu himself didn't realize these small details, and there are more, which are very similar to the leader. This is probably the reason why Yingyi and the others have not felt wrong so far, but Jing Lingzhi will not let Jing Lingzhi admit his mistake again today .

His original master and current master are clearly two very different people.Su Hongyu, his original master, is a man of heavenly talent, reserved and dignified, apart from his obsession with swordsmanship, he is as far away as snow on a high mountain.Such a person treats his subordinates very well. In this era where shadow guards are generally considered to be just tools, he can even be said to be generous, rewarded for his merits, punished for his deeds, never harsh, and can understand difficulties. This is the best he can meet. Good host.But Su Hongyu is different.He is willing to die for his original master, but he wants to stay by his current master's side, and he can do whatever he wants.

I didn't get along with this person for even a month. Except for the initial temptation, when I think about the remaining time now, I feel a little peaceful.Obviously not even 30 days, unknowingly, he has cast his eyes on the other party for too long, and when he has to separate now, he realizes that he no longer wants to take it back.The determination that has already been made is more firm, even if they step on their own corpses, those people will not succeed!

Before that, he still had some things to explain.

"Owner."

Hearing the sound, Su Hongyu looked left and right, and Ying Ba Ying Jiu not far away did not respond, it was the sound transmission into secret that he had seen before.

"Master, there is no need to be alarmed, but there are some words that should not be heard by them." Jing Lingzhi explained, "Before going down the mountain, my subordinates ordered Ying Yi to arrest Zhang, San, and Wang immediately if there was any change, and bring people to support them. After breaking out of the siege, the master can order Ying Yi to conduct a detailed interrogation, and he will definitely be able to find out something." In this attack, the entire Hengjiao counted these two as the most suspected suspects.

"Whether it is martial arts or mental skills, Shadow One is the best among the shadow guards, and he is loyal to the Hengjiao. Even if the master's secrets are revealed in the future, Ying Yi will protect the safety of the master like a subordinate. He is the next leader of the shadow guards. No. 1 choice." The candidate was decided long ago, and Ying Yi took him by his side to teach him for a long time, and after the master had an accident, he even investigated in detail, thinking that he knew Ying Yi fairly well, and he was the best candidate to entrust the master .

"Su Qi taught me to be loyal to the previous leader, and he has doubts about the attitude of the master, so the master should take precautions. If your identity is exposed..." Jing Lingzhi hesitated for a moment, but said, "It's better to act first." Master... It would be the best situation for Master to accept Master for the sake of Hengjiao, but with Master's loyalty, he is really not sure whether Master will kill Jiu Zhanque first like his own original plan The owner of the nest, and then committed suicide to apologize.

The words were rambling, as if to explain the funeral.Su Hongyu eagerly wanted to ask, what about you?

Jing Lingzhi seemed to have guessed what Su Hongyu was thinking, and added: "If the subordinates are lucky enough to escape, then they will be responsible to the master..."

Before he finished speaking, he only heard the sound of "铛", Ying Ba's short sword protected his body, and in time, he fired an arrow at himself, and shouted: "My lord, be careful!"
