Chapter 350 [Moonlight knife light is cold and light]
Among the major families of Yan State, if we really want to talk about the strength of Shadow Guard, the shadows of the two major families of Yichun County are definitely among the best... This principle is actually very simple. Unlike the Han family, Ximen family, and Hu family, they all occupy one county with one clan, and Shadow Guard faces much less pressure. At that time, the Ye and Wu families in Bozhou County were allies, and although there were also many secretly monitoring each other, they would not fight to the death in secret.
Kuaiji County is the coexistence of the Xiao family and the Su family, while Yichun County is the coexistence of the Fan family and the He family. In this way, one county and two tribes will inevitably form an extremely harsh environment. In addition to the open fights, there are naturally many conflicts in secrets. In this way, these shadow guards have gained the strong combat experience of these families.
At this time, the He family's shadow guards escaped the patrol and guards of the Imperial Guards. Eight shadow guards sneaked into Miku like ghosts.
There are mountains of grain in the Miku, and there are small and narrow gaps crisscrossing between piles of grain.
This group of shadow guards naturally came to Dahong Miku to burn food under He Xuezhi's order.
For this group of extremely experienced shadow guards, killing and setting fire is their essential work, just like fishermen fishing, monks chanting scriptures, and farmers plowing the fields.
The place where the fire is set cannot be at the edge of the grain warehouse, but to the center of the rice warehouse. Only when the fire source is ignited can it spread to all sides. Moreover, since it is in the middle, after the fire is ignited, the imperial guards outside will not be able to discover it for a while. By the time they are about to discover it, the fire must have formed a harsh trend. There are very few water sources around, so it is extremely difficult to rescue it.
The shadow guards divided into two paths and marched straight to the middle, with light steps, silent, and ghostly.
The Imperial Guard really didn't seem to have found anything.
Deep in Yonekura, a group of shadow guards gathered together and saw a person making extremely simple gestures. The shadow guards all nodded and carefully took out a piece of bamboo-like thing from their bodies.
It was a green hollow bamboo tube, which obviously stored something inside. One end was blocked, and the other end was sealed with a special material, just like wax solidified by candle oil.
Outsiders don’t know that these bamboo tubes store the most effective fire-burning black water oil.
This kind of black water oil is in the spark, and is extremely flammable. It is the thing that arsonists like to use the most, but it is relatively expensive and not available to everyone.
The group of people were about to set fire when they suddenly heard a slight movement and were approaching here.
The sound was extremely light. If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult to be wary of. However, this group of shadow guards practiced the dark art and was extremely cautious. Although the movement was small, the group of shadow guards noticed it. With one wave of his hand, the eight shadow guards immediately dispersed and put their bodies close to the back of the rice dumpling, and did not dare to move easily.
Shadow Guard knew very well that if he was really noticed by the Imperial Guard, he would be afraid that the fire would not be released, and he would be wiped out and his life would be left here.
Like all dark forces, Shadow Guards have the greatest advantage of being a sudden attack or unexpected attack, not having any amazing strength in martial arts.
Although every shadow guard may be able to easily solve an imperial guard in the case of individual combat, if it is surrounded by an imperial guard with an absolute advantage in number, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After all, the Imperial Guards are not ordinary troops. Compared with local yamen, each Imperial Guard can deal with three or four yamen. They are fierce and powerful and well-equipped. Even if the Shadow Guards are surrounded, they will be dead.
Therefore, this group of shadow guards is very clear that they must not alarm the guards of the imperial guards.
Eight shadow guards hid silently behind the rice dumplings, trying to observe the source of the movement, but when they hid, they clearly felt that just a group of people seemed to be hiding quickly, not far from them.
They cannot judge who the other party is, but they can determine that the number of other party is definitely not inferior to their own.
...
An extremely strange atmosphere enveloped Yonekura.
For these shadow guards who licked blood on the edge of the knife, they had much more sense of danger than ordinary people. Although there was no movement there, they felt a strong murderous aura permeating Yonekura.
The most terrifying thing is that they don’t know where that group of people came from.
Outside the warehouse, you can even hear the sound of golden spears made by the Imperial Guards during patrol. The "cracking" armor rubbing sound whipped the shadow guards like a whip, making them feel extremely depressed.
I don't know how long this atmosphere that almost solidifies the air.
In a quiet voice, a small ball woven by thorns slowly rolled over from the opposite side. The ball was as big as a child's fist, not big, and sealed very tightly.
The shadow guards stared at the small ball woven by the small twig, and their pupils expanded rapidly.
As dark people, they know much more than ordinary people.
In their eyes, of course, this cannot be just an ordinary small ball. Since it is rolling over from the opposite side, there must be huge dangers in this small ball.
The small ball finally stopped.
The shadow guards held their breath, and they didn't blink. Their hands were tightly clasped, and they would be a monster if they were abnormal. The sudden small ball was extremely strange and had to be guarded.
Sure enough, this small ball is really unusual, just like a mechanism, with a small hole slowly opening at the top, and something seemed to be coming out.
At this moment, a shadow guard came forward like a ghost, rolled to the ground, reached out and grabbed the small ball made of the thorn, and stuffed it into his mouth.
So his companions saw the shadow guard's eyes showing pain, rolling on the ground for a few times, then stopped moving, and the muscles on his face instantly turned blue and purple.
Shadow Wei immediately understood that there must be something extremely vicious poisonous insects hidden in this small ball. As long as the shadow Wei was a little slow, the poisonous insect would probably not die alone once it appeared.
Shadow Wei is an extremely tacit organization with a spirit of sacrifice that ordinary people can imagine.
When the shadow guard died, he saw a shadow behind the rice dumplings opposite. In the darkness, there were no less than ten figures rushing towards him, with tacit movements. In addition to several people rushing over on the ground, several people jumped onto the rice pile and killed from above.
The shadow guard also moved.
"Swish swish swish!"
A very slight sound was like a mosquito at night, and it actually hit the other side with several hidden weapons.
In the extremely dark Yonekura, a funny showdown started. Both sides did not know what force the other party was, but they also believed that the other party was their enemy.
They are all assassins among assassins, killers among assassins. Once they take action, the most direct purpose is to kill the other party and protect themselves.
A desperate battle, life and death.
But in this cruel and bloody battle, they had to take into account one extremely important thing, that is, they should not disturb the imperial guards outside.
If the Imperial Guard is alarmed, both sides will die without a place to bury.
After a series of hidden weapons, the two sides fought each other in close combat. As soon as they fought, they were all going to do their best and used all their killer moves. In the dim Miku, there were shadows, and they all used killer moves to the other party with the lightest voice.
The cold blade and the cold dagger all take the opponent's key points.
...
...
Chunyuan Academy.
Everyone knows that He Xuezhi's study is definitely the most important place and is definitely a place where heavy troops are guarding. Without powerful forces, no one dares to approach this academy.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the academy looks extremely quiet. The big locust tree in the yard is also dancing lightly in an extremely elegant posture in the breeze.
Sometimes being too calm will make it look even more weird.
Five figures climbed over the wall of the academy and slowly approached the door of the study room neatly and neatly. Their steps were extremely light, like most night walkers, with black masks, but those five pairs of eyes were looking around alertly.
It is close to the big locust tree and not far from the study.
"puff!"
A man in black fell down, and the other four were shocked, and they rushed down from the big locust tree like a nighthawk.
Hidden in the big locust tree is of course the shadow guard who protects the academy.
Their speed was as lightning, and the men in black who were infiltrating were not slow. They scattered and shot out hidden weapons in their hands, attacking the two shadow guards from all sides.
A shadow guard took action like lightning, picked up the body of the man in black on the ground and danced in his hand as a shield. His speed was extremely fast. The hidden weapons that several men in black hit the body of their companions actually hit the bodies of their companions.
Shadow Guards are naturally divided into high and low levels. They can protect the study here, so the shadow Guards here are naturally more powerful than ordinary shadow Guards.
At this moment, several shadow guards appeared around, and the hidden weapons in their hands were emitted, calling the remaining four men in black.
"Retreat!" A man in black said in a deep voice.
The four figures immediately retreated tacitly like ghosts. The four figures jumped onto the courtyard wall and were about to leave. At this time, another round of hidden weapons attacked. A man in black groaned and was hit by the hidden weapons and fell down on the wall.
"Retreat!" The man in black called out again, leading the remaining two people to evacuate.
Several shadow guards quickly followed like lightning, jumped onto the wall, and followed the figures of the men in black under the moonlit night.
There is a rockery flower bed not far from the academy. Among the rockery and flower beds, Li Gu, the chief of the three Xihua Hall, led a group of officials to hide in it. His eyes as sharp as wolves were looking at the academy from afar.
He could hear the movements in the academy clearly, and also saw several men in black evacuate and the shadow guards went to chase them.
His brows frowned. It turned out that besides the West Flower Hall, there were other forces who were also acting tonight, with the idea of the academy.
"Sir, the shadow guard is led away. Can we act?" the subordinates beside him asked in a low voice.
Li Gu said lightly: "Wait!"
The retreat of the group of men in black made Li Gu feel something was really wrong.
Since they are coming to the academy, the group of men in black must have a rough understanding of the academy and will definitely know that the academy is extremely strict in defense, and the shadow guard must be ambushed.
If you don’t have enough strength, you will undoubtedly die if you come to the academy.
Since we are here, these men in black must have had careful plans, but now in just a short time, they have shown an attitude of losing to Shadow Guard and evacuated in a hurry, which is naturally unreasonable.
So he instantly determined that this group of men in black might just be bait, in order to open the shadow guards who guard the academy.
The real killer move has not yet appeared!
