From the perspective of time, it is entirely possible that after Lin Zhe left Dijing, he had no news from Dijing and did not know about what he was going to do blindly. He was resentful of him, so he secretly sent someone back to take revenge...
Thinking this in his mind, Yan Liqiang pretended that everything was normal. After sitting in the yard for a while, he stood up and used 30% of his strength to perform a set of Tiger Roaring Fists to stretch his muscles. Then he returned to the room, washed up, went to bed, and turned off the lights.
As soon as the lights in the room went out, Yan Liqiang rolled over from the bed, took out two anesthetic needles from under the bed, then came to the window on the east side of the room, gently pushed the window open, and slid out of the room like a fish, and his ghostly figure suddenly came to the back of the room.
Yan Liqiang was naturally very familiar with the environment around the room. With the cover of the flowers, plants and trees around the yard, Yan Liqiang moved quickly in the dark. In the blink of an eye, he made a circle from the blind spot in the west and came to the camphor tree forest a hundred meters west of his yard.
The unique fragrance of camphor trees floated in the night wind. The woods were extremely quiet, without even the sound of insects.
Without much effort, Yan Liqiang saw the black figure hidden behind a tall camphor tree branch. Just by looking at the man, Yan Liqiang could confirm that the figure was the one he had seen beside Lin Zhe. Yan Liqiang had a very good memory. Until this moment, he still remembered the appearance of the man - ordinary face, sharp eyes, slender hands, broad shoulders, and a master of archery. The first time he saw the man that day, Yan Liqiang felt that the man was the one who hid in the dark and shot an arrow when Liang Yijie and Xu Lang were fighting.
The man was wearing a nightgown and had no bow and arrow. After all, a bow and arrow is too big to be carried and would easily make noise, which is not conducive to hiding one's body. However, the man was carrying a relatively compact crossbow on his back. The crossbow was probably specially treated. The entire crossbow was painted black and did not reflect any light at all. At night, within fifty steps, the power of the crossbow was actually not inferior to that of a bow and arrow, and the firing speed was even faster and could be more concealed. It was really an ideal tool for assassination. Even a master would be hit if he was not careful.
It is estimated that Lin Zhe and this person did not think that Yan Liqiang was that powerful, so if they wanted to launch a sneak attack in the dark, a crossbow might be enough.
Yan Liqiang hid under the tree, motionless, and did not go up. He was waiting for the man to come down.
That person was also very patient. He had been hiding in the tree and observing Yan Liqiang's residence. After the lights in Yan Liqiang's room had been turned off for almost two hours, it was already late at night. He found that there was no movement in Yan Liqiang's room. He guessed that Yan Liqiang had fallen asleep. Then, like a chameleon, that person silently moved down from the top of the tree canopy, and jumped down when he was about two meters above the ground.
Yan Liqiang, who had been waiting under the tree, suddenly rushed out from the flowers nearby like a ghost when the man's feet were about to touch the ground, and punched the man hard with his fists like thunder.
The man was definitely frightened by Yan Liqiang's sudden appearance. He had never expected that he would be ambushed. The time Yan Liqiang chose to attack was exactly when he was about to land but still in the air. He had no way to gain leverage. He could only groan, twist his body in the air, and kick at Yan Liqiang's fists...
Yan Liqiang's killer move was of course not his fists, but the two poisoned flying needles in his fists. This was not a fair fight, as long as it worked, there was no need to worry about any means. Seeing the man's legs coming, Yan Liqiang smiled secretly in his heart, and just let the flying needle in his hand show a section from between his fingers, changed his fist into a palm, covered the hidden weapon in his hand with the back of his hand, and then slapped his hands and the two poisoned flying needles on the man's instep...
"Hmm..." The man groaned, and was knocked away by the huge force of Yan Liqiang's hand, and hit the camphor tree behind him heavily. Before the man could make any more moves, his whole body froze and he whispered, "Poisonous..."
“That’s right…” Yan Liqiang smiled lightly, and with a ghostly move, he came to the man’s stiff body. He slapped the man on the head with just one palm. The man didn’t even make a sound, and was knocked unconscious by Yan Liqiang in an instant.
It was pitch dark now, and they were in the forest, so their vision was already affected. One had planned it for a long time, and the other was completely unprepared. In addition, the other man had never expected that Yan Liqiang had a poison needle hidden in his hand, so the outcome was decided the moment the two sides came into contact.
The entire process, from the time Yan Liqiang took action to the end of the fight, took less than two seconds.
Yan Liqiang looked around and found that there was still no one around the woods. The little noise just now was no louder than the sound of a cat catching a mouse in the dark. Everything was silent and did not alarm anyone. Then he simply grabbed the neck of the man in black, flashed a few times, and came back to the bedroom on the second floor through the open window of his bedroom.
Yan Liqiang first threw the man in black who had been knocked unconscious by him to the ground, and then searched the man. In just a moment, he found all the miscellaneous items on the man's body.
Crossbow, dagger, medicine bag, darts...
That crossbow didn't seem to be an ordinary crossbow. Yan Liqiang took a closer look. Where the crossbow arrows were originally placed, at the front end of the push rod, there were hundreds of flying needles that looked like cow hair gathered in a cluster. The tips of the flying needles were blue, and it was obvious that they were poisoned...
Oh my god... Yan Liqiang was frightened...
Pull off the veil of the man in black again. The face underneath the veil, isn’t it the person next to Lin Zhe
Yan Liqiang dislocated the joints of the man's arms, stepped back a few steps, and sat on a chair in the room. He stroked his chin with one hand, looking at the man in black who could no longer move, with all kinds of thoughts running through his mind...
Of course he would never let this person go back, nor would he let him leave alive, but he still had to think carefully about how to maximize the value of this matter...
Just over ten minutes later, a light flashed in Yan Liqiang's eyes, and he made a decision in his heart...
With a slight groan, the man in black opened his eyes and slowly woke up. Yan Liqiang walked over, stood in front of the man, and looked down at him.
"What do you want to do? I'm from the Lin family. If you want to touch me, be careful or the Lin family will make you fall into eternal damnation..." The man woke up and saw Yan Liqiang looking at him. He just rolled his eyes and then started to speak to Yan Liqiang in a timid tone.
"Is this your last words?" Yan Liqiang shook his head.
"What did you say?" The man's face changed.
"Did Lin Zhe send you to kill me?" Yan Liqiang asked.
The man rolled his eyes and continued to threaten Yan Liqiang, "My coming to Luyuan has nothing to do with you. I advise you to let me go. Although Master Lin is not in the Imperial Capital now, the Prime Minister is still here. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, you will be in big trouble..."
Yan Liqiang laughed in silence, "You are still thinking about staying alive now, aren't you too naive? I have been worrying about how to solve a big problem these days, and I didn't expect you to come to my door. Since you are here to kill people, you must be prepared to be killed. This is justice. So, if you become a ghost, don't blame me..."
