At this time, most people have finished dinner and are ready to go to bed, and Zhao Deyan is no exception! However, after dinner, Zhao Deyan suddenly felt uneasy. He always felt like he had missed something, but he racked his brains and couldn't figure out why!
So, he just sat motionless at his desk, in a daze.
"Da da da da da~!"
Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of horse hooves from the north of the inn. Zhao Deyan suddenly came to his senses, then quickly stood up and came to the window near the north of the room in two short steps.
Tongfu Inn is located in the south of the city, and the Tianzihao guest room where Zhao Deyan lives is located in the northwest corner of the inn. After he opened the window, he saw a fire dragon running rapidly on the street to the north.
"Huh? The government officials have been searching all day during the day. Why don't they stop at night~?"
Seeing this scene, Zhao Deyan muttered subconsciously.
But soon he realized something was wrong. His expression changed slightly and he whispered: "No! Why do the government send cavalry to search for people? Are they going to arrest people~?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Deyan suddenly remembered the fire in the long alley in the south of the city in the afternoon, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart!
"Xuan Ye, Tianying!"
Zhao Deyan frowned, and then shouted in a low voice.
Although there is no one else in the room except him, and there is no one guarding the door (he is trying his best to hide his identity now, if there are guards outside the door, it will be too conspicuous), but Tian The guest room next to the guest room was occupied by two of his men, the two men with the highest martial arts value!
Although there is a wall between the two rooms, the sound insulation of buildings in this era is far inferior to modern times, and two of his men are martial arts masters with keen senses. Zhao Deyan believes that the other party will be able to hear his words!
Sure enough, not long after Zhao Deyan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the room. Zhao Deyan stepped forward and opened the door. Two well-dressed men, one tall and one short, walked in. The tall one was Tianying and the short one was Xuan. night!
You may say that Xuan Ye is short, but he is not short at all. The height of ordinary people is mainly because Tianying is too tall, so when the two of them walk together, he looks shorter~!
"Master Wei! Are you looking for us?"
After closing the door, the two of them bowed to Zhao Deyan and clasped their fists.
"Come with me!"
Zhao Deyan said lightly, and then led the two of them to the window on the north side of the back room. From here, they could still see the fire dragon on the street to the north.
Tianying couldn't help but said in surprise: "These are people from the government? Why are they still searching the city at night?"
Zhao Deyan shook his head and said: "Things are not that simple! If it was just a search, why would the other party use cavalry? If my prediction is correct, they should be going to arrest people, and the people they arrest may be the same as Chengnan in the afternoon. The fire that happened has something to do with it! It happens to be dark now and the defensive forces in the city have been relaxed. Xuan Ye and Tianying, you two immediately left the inn to follow the army and see where they were going? "
Now that the gates of each workshop have been closed, Zhao Deyan did not mention how to get out of the workshop, because he believed that this small gate would definitely not be able to stop Xuan Ye and Tianying! If it were during the day, the city would be full of government officials and soldiers searching for him. He might have some scruples, but it was night now, and there was no moon tonight, so the night was the best cover. With the help of Xuan Ye and Tian Ying, With his strength, he will definitely be able to get out of the workshop easily!
The inexplicable fire in the south of the city in the afternoon made Zhao Deyan feel a little uneasy. He vaguely felt that some things in the city were out of his control. However, during the day, the whole city was under martial law. Even if he wanted to investigate, his people could not go out! I just took this opportunity to investigate now.
"Subordinates obey orders!"
Xuan Ye and Tian Ying accepted their orders one after another.
"Yeah! Go ahead!"
Zhao Deyan waved his hand, and the two turned around and went out.
At this time, the inn was closed. Naturally, they would not go through the main entrance of the inn. Instead, they would go back to their room first, prepare themselves, and then leave directly through the window.
… … … … … … …
In the night, Wang Li, who was walking quickly, always felt that someone was following him behind him, but every time he turned around and looked back, there was nothing behind him, which made him wonder if he was overly nervous and was hallucinating!
"You're just killing a helpless woman, what's there to be nervous about~?"
Wang Li encouraged himself secretly in his heart.
The task Wang Kui gave him was to make Star Wolf's mother disappear from Taiyuan City without anyone noticing. For him, a master-level martial arts master, this task could be accomplished effortlessly. He really couldn't figure out why he felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart!
"We're almost there! That's the dilapidated house in front!"
Fortunately, apart from having to go through some trouble to avoid the government officials patrolling the streets, Wang Li didn't encounter any accidents along the way. Looking at the slightly dilapidated house in front of him, but still lit with candlelight inside, Wang Li couldn't help but Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, saying that as long as nothing happened on the way and he could reach his destination smoothly, he would be able to successfully kill the target person and complete the task assigned by Wang Kui!
But he didn't know that at this time, there were at least four groups of people, oh, no, including Zhao Deyan's group, there were five groups of people, rushing towards him. Baoshengfang was destined to not be peaceful tonight!
"Bang bang bang!"
Wang Li first looked around cautiously and saw that there was no one on the streets around him. He walked up to the door and gently opened the courtyard door three times. Inside, Xiaocui, who had just finished serving the old woman, was getting ready to go to bed. , she vaguely heard someone knocking on the door outside. She was a little scared, turned to look at Xiao Hong, who was sleeping in the same room with her, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Hong, it's so late, who would knock on the door?"
It was late at night, and there were only three women and no men in the house. If someone knocked on the door suddenly, anyone would be scared.
"I... how do I know? Could it be that the young master is back?"
Xiaohong shook her head, her voice trembling.
"How about... let's go take a look together?"
Xiaocui stood up and said.
Xiaohong thought for a while and finally nodded.
The two little maids pushed open the door and came to the front yard. Behind the door, Xiao Cui took a deep breath and asked, "Who is outside?"
"it's me!"
What was waiting for her was a low voice. Xiao Cui felt vaguely familiar, but the man outside the door did not wait for her to guess, and directly announced his identity: "Wang Li~!"
"Ah! It's Commander Wang~! Commander Wang, please wait a moment, I will open the door for you right now!"
The two little maids were originally from the second room of the Wang family. They were temporarily sent here by Wang Kui to take care of Xing Lang's mother, so they naturally knew Wang Li. The two maids were startled and hurriedly opened the courtyard door. They saw Wang Li, dressed in black, standing in front of the door. Xiao Cuifu bowed and said: "Commander Wang, why are you here? It is the master who is treating us both. Do you have any new instructions?"
Wang Li just wanted to complete the task assigned to him by Wang Kui as soon as possible, and did not want to waste words with the two little maids. He said calmly:
"The second elder sent Wang to perform official duties. You two will wait in the front yard. No matter what you hear or see for a while, you can pretend that you didn't hear or see it. Do you understand~?"
"Commander Wang..."
Hearing this, the two maids finally realized that something was wrong, but before they could say anything, Wang Li walked directly inside, leaving the two of them standing at the door of the house.
Xiaocui said anxiously: "My master sent Commander Wang here to perform a mission? What mission could there be here? Could it be... Could it be that Commander Wang came here to find the old lady~?"
Thinking of this, Xiaocui covered her mouth with her hands in fear.
In the afternoon, the government office posted Xing Lang's portrait and reward notices all over the city. The two little maids naturally saw it in the afternoon, but they did not tell the old woman inside. At this time, Wang Li suddenly visited. And since he was here to perform official duties, Xiaocui soon thought of a terrible possibility - murder and silence!
Wang Li is probably here to kill people and silence them!
"Besides you and me, the only one left in this room is the old immortal! If Commander Wang is not here to find her, who else can he be looking for~?"
Xiaohong didn't think so much, she rolled her eyes and got angry after hearing this.
Xiaocui couldn't help but said: "You don't understand what I mean... Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to stop Commander Wang and I can't let him kill the old lady!"
After that, she ignored Xiao Hong who was standing aside with her mouth covered in surprise, and ran towards the house alone.
"Cough cough cough~! Xiao Cui, who is here?"
In the room, the old woman also heard the noise outside. She sat up and turned to shout outside the room.
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open from the outside, but the people who came in were not Xiaohong and Xiaocui. Wang Li walked into the room, without any nonsense, he took out a dagger from his arms and said without explanation Stab the old woman on the bed.
