Chang An only felt that the eyes of this person in front of him were as red as a rabbit, and his facial expression was like a mad dog infected by the epidemic, so he didn't want to get entangled with him.
According to Luda, there are four assassins, and five are missing, so where did the other one go? Who are you going to tip off
He took two steps back and made a movement of retracting the knife. Two well-trained city guards rushed out from both sides immediately, and blocked the rabbit-eyed man one left and one right.
Chang An glanced at him, turned around and was about to leave, before he could go out two steps, there was a strong wind behind him, he instinctively raised the scabbard, only to hear a crisp sound, the scabbard was poked a hole by the opponent, and the opponent With a hook back, half of it split into fours and fives.
The two city guards standing in front of Chang'an were killed in the blink of an eye. Chang'an didn't dare to be careless, and he retreated under the tree in an instant. He jumped up, raised his hand to hook the branch, and swung himself up with one hand. The knife with the hook chased after him, and the force of the slash cut the big tree in half.
Chang An frowned suddenly, tapped the treetop with his toes, and quickly landed two feet away, and said to Lu Da who was stunned not far away: "Go and check if there are any people coming in and out tonight, if... then chase them, if not, seal... Lock the city gates and search for people!"
His words were interrupted twice before the word "Ruo" came out, and a saber slashed straight down from behind him. Chang An didn't even turn his head, and raised his hand to put the long saber on his back, and jumped up When he went out, the word "Feng" was not said neatly, and the second knife had already slashed across his waist.
Someone exclaimed: "City Lord!"
Chang An turned around on the spot, and his whole body and the long saber became one, as if forming a complete circle. There was a chaotic sound of swords and soldiers colliding between lightning, stone and fire, and no one could see what was going on. Separated again, the man who looked like a mad rabbit laughed sinisterly, and said in a very hoarse and rough voice: "The unique heir of the world's number one knife, he made three strikes in the blink of an eye, and the first knife separated him." My hook, the second knife pressed down on my blade while my wrist was drooping, and the third knife pressed against the blade to make me press my hand. If I didn't withdraw quickly, I would either let go or break my hand... You really have A bit of skill, barely worthy of the reputation."
Chang An moved his numb wrist slightly: "You are not with those people, who bought your knife?"
The mad rabbit man bared his yellowed teeth: "No one can afford my knife, I'm here just for you, but it just so happens that I can take advantage of these trash."
Chang An frowned slightly.
But the other party suddenly got into trouble and rushed towards him, the sharp wind brought by the blade made people's face hurt, the mad rabbit laughed and said: "How can the famous sword in the world keep in my hand!"
The long knife with the hook slashed down like half a moon, Changan was no longer there, the long knife fell to the ground, the dust flew up half a zhang high.
And the moment the lunatic raised his head, a very thin blade was sent to him with precision, the cold light approached, and the suffocation that swept across his throat made the pupils of the lunatic dilate suddenly, and he felt that the blood all over his body was ignited The whole person was covered by the blade, and there was no room to dodge.
If you can't hide, you won't hide.
The mad rabbit turned into a crazy firecracker, put it to death, and then rushed towards Chang'an's blade, the hook knife in his hand pierced into Chang'an's chest obliquely like a rainbow piercing the sun.
Chang An didn't intend to accompany him to play with him, so he immediately lowered his elbow and changed his move. The long saber stood up, and the back of the saber slammed down heavily. The hooked saber cut a line more than a foot long from his right chest to left abdomen. There was a very shallow scratch on his chest, and it wasn't until the hook knife was broken by him with an inch of force that it fell to the ground, and two drops of blood came out just now.
Chang An only felt that the man's eyes were even more red, they were so red that they were shining brightly, they were about to shine brightly in the night!
Then this crazy rabbit who had eaten rat poison suddenly let out a laugh like a donkey about to die. Read his "fellows". The palm turned into animal claws, although it is somewhat inconvenient compared to swords, it is more domineering when hurting people. The rabbit rises and the falcon disappears, leaving only a very shocking sentence.
"Good knife! Lord Haizhu, I remember you!"
With a stomach ache, Chang An understood what he meant - the green mountains will not change, the green waters will flow forever, and if you have a new knife in the future, you will definitely come to your door to trouble you.
But this crazy guy is actually a formidable enemy he has never seen in his life. Before Chang An had time to recover from the thrilling confrontation just now, he heard someone screaming again: "City Lord, they..."
When Chang An turned his head, he saw that except for those who had already been executed, the other caravan members who had been arrested fell down at the same time, their faces were all livid.
Chang Na was taken aback, bent down and pressed the neck of the person under his feet, the person was already dead.
who is it
Who can make all these people willingly work for him, even that powerful lunatic can be mobilized
There are frequent business contacts in Haizhu City, how long has that person been putting eyeliner here
Chang'an said in a deep voice: "Go and tell the king, and the great elder... okay, I know that he is getting married today, so you should be gentle when telling him, just kick a couple of times on the door, don't scare the bride. "
Suo Laimu was still drunk when he was brought over, he had to be supported by someone, and he would fall on all fours as soon as he let go, and the first thing he said after seeing Chang An was to curse him indiscriminately with his tongue out. : "You...you will definitely be kicked by a donkey..."
Chang'an was silent for a moment, and pressed the head of the great elder, which was full of paste, into the cold water basin with his own hands.
When he was rescued by Hua Yi who rushed over immediately, the great elder's grief and indignation were about to flow across his face like rivers and seas.
Suo Laimu turned his head and sneezed loudly, almost shaking his eyes out of the window, then rubbed his nose, and noticed the corpses lying on the ground, but there was no surprise on his face, he rubbed his nose , asked: "Sure enough, a businessman?"
Hua Yi folded his hands in front of his chest and stood silently.
Two years after the completion of Haizhu City, the Great Elder Suo Laimu suggested that a roster of resident population be established in each city. It needs to be reported to the special person in charge of the matter in this city, and it can be checked at any time. With the increasing population, it is also easy to manage.
Only merchants are different. Merchants travel all over the world and live in no fixed place. They are the most difficult to manage, and most of them are extremely cunning and mercenary. They will do anything for money.
Suo Laimu raised his head and glanced at Hua Yi, seeing that he was silent, his expression became a bit dignified, and he asked, "Why, the king wants to... suppress business?"
Hua Yi pondered for a moment. If something like this happened in the past, according to his cautious character, at least he would have stripped all the merchants who entered the royal city from now on. Emotionally moved, all the things that should be said and should not be said are poured out in one brain, and now the mood is inexplicably opened up a lot.
"Haven't you planted malt when you heard the bugs? The merchants are banned. If there is a natural disaster or war, where will the source be harvested?" Hua Yi waved his hand, pointing to the corpse on the ground and said, "Forget it, clean up here first. After a while, when the dawn breaks, someone will pass by and see what it looks like? Chang'an Suolaimu, come with me, and go and call me all the seven elders... and Kazuo, together."
Let's say that Lu Da was ordered by Chang'an to rush to the gate tower, but got the news that no one had left the customs.
As soon as he frowned, he changed his mind, knowing that the fifth missing person might still be in the royal city. Luda immediately mobilized some people from the night watchman on the city gate, and searched the city separately.
Haizhu City is a royal city, it has been repaired more than once, the planning and layout of the city is analyzed in detail, Lu Da patrols every day, he has long been familiar with the terrain of the city, and he knows where it is convenient for Tibetans.
From the night watchman's weapon rack, he found a sharp knife that was barely in his hand, and Luda looked for it along the way, suppressing the anger of the broken knife.
He walked more and more sideways along the inner river of the moat, and only heard a splash in the river. Lu Da suddenly pulled out the knife, turned around and shouted angrily: "Who!"
A huge fish tail appeared in the water, and the merman popped up with something in his mouth, looking at him blankly.
Lu Da breathed out, "It's you, you little bastard."
The mermaid could understand the word "little beast", and slapped his tail on the water angrily. If it wasn't for Luda's quick flash, he almost splashed his face, and then swam further away with his "dinner" in his mouth. go.
Lu Da shook his head, before continuing to move forward, his gaze accidentally swept the direction in which the merman was swimming, and suddenly found a piece of clothing that was blown up by the wind behind a big tree.
His eyes suddenly locked on that place, relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he went around from the other side, caught off guard and pulled out the man behind the big tree, and put the sharp knife across the man's neck.
The man let out a startled exclamation that changed his tune, and his face was exposed in the moonlight. Lu Da was taken aback, and the hand holding the knife lowered unconsciously, and asked in surprise, "Woman?"
This is not an ordinary woman, whether it is her clothes or appearance, she is telling others that she is a dancer.
That snow-white skirt was made of some kind of cloth, but it was as long as the two of hers. It dragged cumbersomely on the ground, and when it was rolled up by the wind, it looked as beautiful as a fairy—if it wasn't so beautiful, it would be as beautiful as before. Her slender body was hidden behind such a big tree, so it would not be possible for Luda to notice her clues in a gust of breeze.
Wearing such a skirt on the body, I am afraid that you can't even walk well. A decent woman will not wear this kind of virtue if she wants to do something. Selling, noble and humble, does nothing but please the master.
For some reason, she escaped by herself, and she was already in an extremely messy body. The skirt of her skirt was not symmetrical, and the corner was obviously scraped off by something, and her tender hands were full of wounds.
Luda had never seen such a woman, even though she was embarrassed and panicked.
Normally, most of the ladies in Wangcheng are beautiful, but when compared with her at this time, those people lose color in an instant, as dull as white walls and gray bricks.
Her hair is as long as water, and there is no knot or frizz at all. Her face and figure are exquisite and beautiful in every way. Especially the picturesque eyebrows, the corners of the eyes seem to be dotted with cinnabar, and there is a little lingering tenderness under the moonlight, which makes Luda feel a particularly familiar and intimate feeling.
Inexplicably, his mind flashed through the words of those fellow young men who were thinking of spring—seeing her, it was as if they had known her for several lifetimes, and she was so cordial and happy as if they had returned home, it was love at first sight.
Lu Da didn't know how long he stayed there before he came to his senses, loosened the dancer's clothes, but the sharp knife was not in the sheath, and asked viciously, "Who are you? Why are you sneaking around in the city at night? "
The dancer said in a panic, "I... I'm not sneaking around, I just want to escape from the city..."
Lu Da narrowed his eyes: "Escape?"
The dancer lowered her head, bit her lip and refused to make a sound, her whole body trembling in the night wind.
Luda pinched her chin, forcing her to look up, and asked coldly: "I ask you, what is your relationship with that grain trader who claimed to be from the north? They lost five people tonight, and there are Is one you?"
The dancer was startled, and hurriedly said: "No! I'm not an assassin!"
Luda: "Assassin?"
Tears rolled in the dancer's eyes, and a pair of small hands on the belt tightly pulled her sleeves, as if pinching and rubbing them uneasily: "I... I was bought by them for ten hu pearls on the road. Dedicate me to the nobles in the city... ok, ok... easy to do things... I accidentally heard about assassins one day... I, I am not an assassin, don't kill me, I am really not an assassin!"
Luda could tell with his nose that she couldn't even kill a rabbit, not to mention killing people—the assassin didn't wear such clothes that could trip him up in two steps.
"So you ran away?"
The dancer nodded, then shook her head again, as if her mind was so confused that she didn't know what she was talking about.
Lu Da thought for a while, quickly retracted the sharp knife, raised his arms to hug the dancer, and said hard-heartedly, "I'm going to take you to the city lord."
The dancer didn't say a word, she let him hug her obediently, and after walking for a while, Lu Da couldn't help it, so she looked down at her again, only to see her head resting on his shoulder, quietly Weeping silently.
Lu Da couldn't help but paused: "Why are you crying?"
The dancer choked up and said, "The city lord will kill me..."
Lu Da sneered and said, "There is no woman like you among the ghosts of the city lord, don't worry."
The dancer raised her head and looked at him, her small face became more pear-like and rainy: "They sent assassins to kill nobles in the king's city. Naturally they will die if they are caught. The city owner will definitely think that I am with them."
Lu Da casually said: "The city lord is not old, he is not confused, what can you do? I have never heard of someone who can kill someone by singing a tune, even those merchants are naturally arrested first, and after interrogation..."
His words came to an abrupt end here.
Lu Da is young and strong, and he walks very fast holding his own. Unknowingly, he has returned to the place where Chang'an is. People come and go from afar, and Chang'an seems to be no longer there. Lu Da saw at a glance that the city guard was standing Sending the corpses out one by one, he subconsciously hid behind a wall with the dancer in his arms, covered her mouth and put her down, then carefully looked up.
I don't know who gave the order, those people were all dead, it seems that there is no one left alive.
Lu Da's palms were sweating for some reason, he suddenly made a bold decision, grabbed the arm of the woman who was already shaking in his arms and was about to faint, and whispered: "Come with me, don't make a sound. "
