"Yizhuang? What are you doing there?" the fat man asked in confusion.
"I recently learned a few ghost-catching spells. I went to Yizhuang to see if there are any ghosts and practice them." Nanfeng said casually.
The fat man had no interest in catching ghosts and subduing demons. Maybe he was too lazy to go out in the winter, so he muttered out of the room, "It's a cold day, so you don't mind the cold."
Nan Feng pulled up the quilt and closed his eyes to think. The unprocessed corpse could be used as bait. If the female assassin was lurking nearby, she would probably take the corpse away after learning that it was sent to Yizhuang. At this time, he What he was thinking about was how he would respond if the female assassin really went there.
Thinking about it carefully, there are two ways to go about this matter. One is to turn from light to darkness, hide in Yizhuang, wait for the female assassin to arrive, and then launch a sneak attack to take her life. The second way is to hide far away. If the female assassin comes, she will definitely take away the body and then look for opportunities to lurk and kill.
These two methods have their own pros and cons. The former has a higher probability of success, but it is also more dangerous. If you fight at close range, you will die or I will die. Observed from a distance, the latter is not dangerous, but it will be very difficult to kill the female assassin.
Nanfeng couldn't make up his mind for a while, and finally decided to wait until night to look around Yizhuang. He only knew that Yizhuang in Yu County was in the west of the city. He didn't know exactly where it was, nor did he know the terrain around Yizhuang. He would wait and see. Make your decision based on the terrain there.
I slept with the fat man last night. The guy snored and he didn't sleep well. He slept until midnight. When he woke up, he took the slingshot with him and took out the flowers that the fat man had put there from under the pillow. There are two needles and skylarks, one of which he gave to the fat man after finding it from the dwarf, and the other one that the fat man found from the dead male assassin.
Nanfeng only took a skylark. Although the skylark could only shoot one sharp thorn at a time, it could fire three times in a row.
At this time, the repair of the damaged house was almost completed, and most of the craftsmen were gone. Nanfeng walked around the county government office, but did not see Zhang Zhong. He asked a government servant to come over and ask, and was told that Zhang Zhong had taken two people out in the morning. Dispose of the body and haven't come back yet.
Zhang Zhong and others left in the morning. Judging from the time, they should have come back a long time ago. If they haven't come back yet, they probably went back to rest after finishing their business. If they were sent there, they would go back, or they would be ordered by the fat man to carry bricks to send them away again. watt.
Nanfeng originally wanted to send someone to call Zhang Zhong, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do so. Zhang Zhong was a county lieutenant. Logically speaking, he should not handle the prisoner's body personally. If the female assassin was hiding nearby, seeing Zhang Zhong deliver the body in person would probably Suspicion arose, and if he saw the yamen servant calling Zhang Zhong back to talk to him again, his suspicion would become even more serious. If you can't shout, you'd better go to the west of the city and look for it yourself.
After making up his mind, Nanfeng put on his hat and left the county government office through the back door. After leaving the county government office, he lowered his head and walked quickly, but he did not go west, but went south.
After walking a few streets, we turned into an alley. This was a Hualiu Alley. There were several flower houses in it. Nanfeng lowered his head and entered one of them. It was cold in winter and no one was waiting outside the flower house. Nanfeng entered through the front door and walked around. The main building climbed over the wall from the backyard and walked quickly to the west.
He entered the flower house to confuse the enemy. If the female assassin hid in a dark place, she might find that he had left the county government office. If she followed him secretly, she would find that he hid his whereabouts in order to play in the flower house.
In the eyes of fools, everyone is a fool, in the eyes of smart people, no one is a fool. Be careful and sail the ship for thousands of years. This is a matter of life and death, so it is better to be careful.
After leaving the city, Nanfeng did not take the main road. Instead, he walked through the mountains and forests. He walked seven or eight miles and climbed to a mountain peak. From the top of the mountain, he looked far away and found a large house in the southeast. According to the location of the house, Judging from its size and degree of dilapidation, it should be Yu County Yizhuang.
After looking at the terrain, Nanfeng continued walking. When he was still two or three miles away from Yizhuang, he started looking for a suitable hiding place. After looking around, he chose an area directly north of Yizhuang. There was an evergreen pine forest there for people to hide. hide.
When Nanfeng was still a hundred feet away from the pine forest, he discovered an old stork that had been hovering above the pine forest, neither falling down nor flying away.
Just as he frowned and looked at the old bird, the old bird suddenly fell to the ground, its wings were loose when it fell. From the look of it, it looked like it was dead.
Seeing the old bird landing on the ground, Nanfeng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Before blinking, the old bird was still very alive, but suddenly it died. Needless to say, he must have been shot.
The meat of the old stork is sour and not very tasty, and the hunters will not shoot it. Furthermore, if it was shot by a hunter, there should be arrows in the old bird's body. It can be seen that the woman hiding in the forest was most likely the female assassin. The reason why she shot the old bird was because she was worried that the old bird would hover in the sky and expose her hiding place.
Nanfeng took a deep breath and was filled with fear. Fortunately, he did not look for Yizhuang along the road before, but went west to a higher place, and then moved back from the higher place. In this way, he avoided the surveillance of the female assassin.
Based on the position where the old bird fell, he was able to determine the approximate area where the female assassin was hiding, and then he carefully moved forward. When he moved to the edge of the pine forest, he finally found the female assassin hiding in the tree in the forest.
At this time, he was about fifty feet away from the female assassin. It was blocked by pine needles and he couldn't see the female assassin's appearance. He could only see that the person on the tree was wearing gray clothes, and he could also see the other's two breasts. Feet, those are two women's feet.
It was already dark at this time. Nanfeng had spiritual energy cultivation, which did not affect his vision at night. However, he did not continue to move towards the female assassin, but slowly squatted down. He was not sure what the other party's cultivation was, so he He wasn't sure if the other party could hear the sound of his footsteps on the snow as he moved forward.
After squatting down, Nanfeng took out the Longwei Short Bow, that weird-shaped slingshot, and took out a few explosive marbles in his hand. However, he did not shoot out the marbles after he opened the bow, but slowly. After loosening the taut bowstring, the reason why he didn't shoot the marbles was because although he was sure of hitting the female assassin, he was not sure of hitting the opponent's head.
The temperature dropped sharply after dark, and the south wind endured the cold, squatting in place and not daring to move.
The female assassin didn't seem to know that he was hiding nearby. She would move her limbs slightly every once in a while, and she even dropped a piece of paper wrapping food from the tree.
Nanfeng was very patient, and the female assassin was also very patient. From the first watch to the second watch, she never left the giant pine where she was hiding.
Nanfeng's hands and feet were numb from the cold at this time. Although practicing Qi and meditating would not reveal his complexion, for the sake of safety, he did not activate his spiritual energy. He just moved his hands and feet slowly, enduring the cold and continued to wait.
Nearing the third watch, the female assassin finally descended to the ground. The moment she floated to the ground, her crimson complexion disappeared in a flash.
Seeing the opponent on the ground, Nanfeng immediately opened his bow and took aim. The female assassin was a woman in her thirties, with disheveled hair, slanted eyes and a high nose, and a very sinister expression.
Just as Nanfeng was taking aim, the woman began to undress and take off her belt, as if she wanted to relieve herself and urinate.
Seeing this situation, Nanfeng did not draw his bow. It seemed inappropriate to take action at this time, so he decided to wait for the opponent to finish urinating.
Even if the other person is not good-looking, she is still a woman after all. It is always inappropriate to peek at someone peeing, so Nan Feng subconsciously tilted his head and looked away.
Guessing that the female assassin should have finished urinating, Nanfeng turned around, only to find that the woman had already finished urinating and climbed into the tree.
After thinking about it, Nanfeng decided not to wait any longer. The woman's cultivation level was comparable to his, and the Longwei short bow had a long range. Even if it didn't hit the vital point, the female assassin wouldn't be able to counterattack in time.
After making up his mind, Nanfeng stood up from his hiding place, wrapped the yellow marbles, and aimed at the woman in the tree.
Just when he was about to let go, a strange Jie Jie laugh suddenly came from the direction of Yizhuang.
It was already the third watch at this time, the night was silent, the sudden laughter was strange and eerie, the south wind was chilling, and I could not help but shiver...
