The atmosphere was heavy. The four of them were completely silent.
Wang Lih looked at the three of them, and then he sat down on a stool by the wall. The other three didn't make any sound.
"Three."
Qin Xiao said solemnly, his dagger pressed forward a little. Guard Commander still shut his lips tightly, unwilling to speak.
"Two — still unwilling to say?"
The dagger changed its direction, the blade was already aimed at the thick neck area, it looked like it was about to cut down! Guard Commander was covered in cold sweat, panicking and hesitating. Just when Qin Xiao's blade was about to press down, "one" was about to be counted out. Guard Commander shouted in panic: "I'll say! I say! "Don't move the knife, don't move the blade …"
"Hmph." Family Head of Luo Family sneered and let go of her hand. "Speak." Qin Xiao immediately let go of the dagger. The three of them stared at Guard Commander, waiting for him to speak.
"The truth of the heavy and heavy crimes is fake. Recently, the capital has been incomparably peaceful and no one has reported the crime. This matter was entrusted to him by a lord, and he had to search for someone in this area. He had to find a bald guy, even if he was wearing a helmet. In the past half month, the Dragon Manor had captured quite a few people. "Although that Lord will only stop when he finds someone else, he will still pay us a bit more for every person we capture. That's how we are able to capture him." Guard Commander said honestly.
"A lord? Looking for the baldy? This matter should be targeted at the Shaolin Temple disciples. " Qin Xiao said, "Do you know the origin, appearance, and characteristics of that adult?"
"He is tall, but covered in a thick black robe. The black robe was very long, covering his entire body. There was also a gold mask on her face that I could not identify. However, he gave a high price of one hundred taels of gold to each guard of the Dragon Manor, and one thousand taels of silver for each capture. Thus, the brothers all agreed. Just catching people requires so much, even fools would agree to it. " Guard Commander said.
Tall, fully dressed in black, with a golden mask!? Wang Lih sat on the side and listened to all of this.
According to this description, isn't this the mysterious person who just came to find me, Fu Xi? Fu Xi had also said that he wanted to capture him, so it seemed that they were undoubtedly the same person.
"Don't you know the surname of that golden-faced Black Cloaked Man?" Qin Xiao asked.
Guard Commander shook his head and said, "Of course not, that lord didn't tell either."
"They really are the puppets of the dynasty who become mothers once they have milk, and handle matters once they receive money." Family Head of Luo Family sighed.
"Enough, I, Young Brother Wang, have already been saved. Seeing that he was completely unharmed after being locked up for half a day, I shall let this matter pass. Qin Xiao shook his head, "However, in the future, you must always remember that no matter who you are charging for, do not blame them for finding my Luo Family! If I say that I will let you keep your life, you will not be in danger. Get lost! " After that, he pointed towards the door, indicating for Guard Commander to leave.
"Yes, yes!" Xie Qin Xiao … Older Brother Qin, Old Master Luo did not kill us. " Guard Commander stood up and kowtowed again and again before staggering away.
After the door closed, Guard Commander's figure walked further and further away until he finally disappeared. Only Wang Lih, Qin Xiao, and Family Head of Luo Family were left in the room. After the atmosphere had been silent for a while, Qin Xiao finally opened his mouth and asked:
"Young Brother Wang, you haven't suffered in prison for a long time, right?"
"No, no one was looking after me in the cell." Wang Lih shook his head and replied. He originally wanted to say something about Fu Xi. However, since this matter concerned his own life, it was best not to say anything about it.
"That's good." Family Head of Luo Family laughed lightly, "Since no one is looking for you, you must not be the one that Jinshi and Black Cloaked Man are looking for." In that case, during this recent period of time, the disturbance caused by the capturing of the bald man should no longer be calm. In order to prevent the people on the streets from discussing or the Dragon Manor guards from finding out, in this period of time... Why don't you stay in my Luo Family Trading Company first? "
"Then, Me thanks Family Head of Luo Family for taking you in." Wang Lih bowed respectfully and cupped his hands.
"I already said that there's no need to thank me. What does Young Brother Wang mean by this?" Qin Xiao laughed, "We will help you to the end in this matter."
Wang Lih cupped his hands, not knowing what to say.
"Alright, Young Brother Wang, it's already late." Family Head of Luo Family laughed, "I shall instruct the servants to take you to the guest room."
Finally, they reached the guest room.
After the servant left, he was the only one left in the room. Light illuminated the room.
"My life... Descendant of Snake Sect … Is this true? " Wang Lih sat cross-legged in thought as he tried to turn his arms. After turning his hand from Fu Xi, he could now casually perform a pose that normal people couldn't. Was he really a descendant of Snake Sect?
"Forget it. There's no use worrying about it now. I might as well focus on practicing martial arts." Wang Lih thought, "The Shaolin Temple Brothers are waiting for my revenge! Five Poison Hall, Ancestor Master Hui … "
"The [Vajra Scripture] is used to strengthen the bones and muscles, and the [Five Spirit Mind Spell] is used to nourish the heart and refine the Qi. Burning Heart Arts... "
"Fire." Wu steel looked at the long lamp in the room, "Absorb the fire spirit and increase the cultivation level of the Burning Heart Arts. The burning sensation he felt when fighting Hsiang Luohua was undoubtedly the Burning Heart Arts. It saved him a lot of effort when he attacked like this. If that's the case … "I need to train harder. I might even be able to increase the strength of my attacks."
Wang Lih then stretched out his hand towards the long lamp, swallowing the fire spirits within.
The scorching fire spirit poured into Zhiyan Ling of Wang Lih. Closing his eyes, Wang Lih could only feel the warmth and comfort that came from time to time.
Qin Xiao and Family Head of Luo Family were still in the small room in the backyard. However, as if they could see what happened in Wu Tie's room, the two of them had pleased and satisfied smiles on their faces. Family Head of Luo Family looked at Qin Xiao and smiled, "Your plan is indeed foolproof."
"That's only natural. You can just wait and see." "Now that it's in my hands, I won't fail again."
It was still midnight on the street of Beijing.
Guard Commander walked alone and didn't dare to whistle too loudly to inform his guards. However, even when he shot the secret signal arrow, there was no reaction from the surroundings. He had already lost contact with the three guards who came with him! At this moment, a tall silhouette approached quietly from behind. His entire body was covered in a black robe and he wore a golden mask.
In an instant, the black shadow arrived beside Guard Commander. His hand formed a finger shape and moved swiftly, not even leaving behind a shadow. Very quickly, Guard Commander's acupoint was pressed against the ground, causing Guard Commander to stand still and only his mouth could move. When the black shadow appeared in front of Guard Commander, Guard Commander finally realized: "It's you? "S-Sir …"
"You found the person I was looking for. I'm very happy. The reward has been sent to the Dragon Tavern, and while I was feeling happy, I added an extra five kilograms of gold. " The black-robed, golden-masked man said in a low voice.
"Master, you found it?" "Then, truly, congratulations and congratulations to my lord!" Guard Commander said excitedly, "If you have any problems in the future, you can look for me for the Dragon … Dragon Tavern!"
"Hoh, no need. In the future, I will no longer need you two. You leaked my information to the Luo Family, so this is not the result that I wanted … " Black Robe Golden Mask walked while smiling. Guard Commander could not move at all. What enveloped him were only layers and layers of fear.
"S-Sir!" I was forced to say it because I was threatened with my life! "This lowly one, this …" Guard Commander was anxious and anxious.
"There is no need to be afraid. My business has already been accomplished, and whether you reveal it or not has nothing to do with me. "Don't worry, I won't kill you." The black robed golden-masked man's words were filled with ridicule and mockery, "The reason why I came to find you is just to ask if you are willing to do something else for me. This time, the reward will be ten times more than last time. "
"What does Master need?" This little one will definitely go all out! " Guard Commander laughed in his heart, "You ruined my lord's plan. In order to repay my lord for not killing me, I will die for sure!"
"Sure, it's good that you agree." "Let me tell you, this is …" He stopped midway.
Since it was midnight, the surroundings were completely silent. Strangely, Guard Commander did not question the black-robed, golden-masked man even though he had only spoken half a sentence.
At this moment, Guard Commander's eyes gradually turned black, his pupils slowly turned purple, and he was completely dumbfounded. After a moment, his body went limp and fell to the ground.
"This matter is to let you be my chess piece for the next move." "You leaked my information, so why would I spare your life? However, I will definitely give you the reward if I entrust you with this task. These ten times that amount would have to be converted into underworld money. "Hahahaha..." Black Cloaked Man smiled coldly as he reached out his hand to Guard Commander's shriveled body on the ground. In an instant, the body disappeared from his sight. After that, the black-robed, golden-masked man took two or three light steps and disappeared into the shadows under the moonlight.
"Your subordinates will not die in vain." Black Cloaked Man muttered to himself and appeared on the roof of another house. After collecting the three corpses of the assassins on the rooftop, they disappeared.
The next day was clear and windy.
In the courtyard within the Luo Family, two figures, dressed in plain clothes, were performing the same action time and time again. One was Family Head of Luo Family, the other was Qin Xiao.
Occasionally, he would wave his fist and continuously take steps, swiftly turning his body. Every single strike seemed so easy, but it caused quite a few ripples in the surrounding space. It was as if the space itself had been shaken. This caused an extraordinary commotion.
"This move, was created when I comprehended your《 White Crane Chain Palm》. If it is combined with my ancestral《 Luo Family Fist》, it should be able to destroy the Xiang Family's Qi art." Family Head of Luo Family said.
"The Xiang Family's Qi Art is definitely not an ordinary technique, I am afraid this Fist Arts of yours is hard to break. As long as he is able to smash you to pieces with a Falling Flower Slash while your White Crane's Luo Family Fist. " Qin Xiao laughed, "To defeat Hsiang Chuming, one must aim for his weakness in movement. From your blade technique, I am afraid you cannot do anything to him. "
"The movement technique is my weakness." Family Head of Luo Family shook his head and sighed, "I still can't beat him in footwork."
"Then I need more practice." Qin Xiao laughed, "How can Hsiang Chuming be defeated so easily?"
Family Head of Luo Family shook his head and smiled bitterly. Then, he continued to practice his fist art.
"Old master, old master!"
A crisp voice rang out, and a female servant stood at the entrance to the courtyard.
"What is it?" Family Head of Luo Family looked at his servant, "Didn't you see me and Guard Qin practicing martial arts?"
"Director Zhao of the Dragon and Dragon Palaces came. He even brought dozens of soldiers, saying that the higher ups of the Dragon and Dragon Palaces went missing. Director Zhao is going to come personally to search for them with Luo Family." The servant girl's voice was frantic.
"Director Zhao? The senior executives of the Long Residence's guards had gone missing? "What does that mean?" Family Head of Luo Family was extremely confused, "Could it be that it was Captain Xiao of the Huanyu Sect last night? But last night we didn't take his life. He was also allowed to leave the Luo Family, how could he have disappeared? "
"Something fishy must be going on since the Long Residence received the news so early in the morning." Qin Xiao said solemnly, "No matter what, we still have to deal with it first." "Director Zhao, the two of us can't afford to offend you!"
"Director Zhao is here personally … This is naturally difficult. " Family Head of Luo Family looked nervous, "I'm afraid..... "I'm worried about Young Brother Wang. You should hide him first." And then, she turned and left with her servant girl.
"Don't worry, everything is still under my control." Qin Xiao answered firmly and watched Family Head of Luo Family leave. Then he turned around and walked to Wang Lih's room.
Wang Lih was sitting cross-legged and meditating for the whole night. All the meridians in his body seemed to have connected with the fire spirit energy. This made Wang Lih feel incomparably hot and comfortable.
