Chapter 34 An open gun is easy to hide, but a dark arrow is difficult to prevent

In fact, when Xu Jinghong discussed the matter with Tian Dahu and others, he had noticed that someone was hiding behind his account. Because of his practice of Xuanmen's mind, his five senses are much more sensitive than ordinary people. Even if the person's method of hiding is very good, he still can't avoid Xu Jinghong's ears. However, Xu Jinghong did not point it out immediately because he was afraid that the other party would detect it.

And when the other people left, Xu Jinghong heard the sound of the man taking out the object from his arms. Although he didn't know what the other party took out, he still picked up the weapon to be on the safe side. Because of this, Xu Jinghong suddenly went to see the captured long knife, otherwise the knife would have been his. Why do you have to watch it at night?

On the one hand, pretending to appreciate the long knife, Xu Jinghong had carefully moved to the man's position, and then suddenly took out the knife with his backhand and stabbed his opponent first. He is not an open and aboveboard chivalrous man, and naturally it is impossible to give the other party a chance to fight a fair battle, so his action was also a sudden assassination! The other party did not expect such a situation, and immediately got stabbed, and at the same time put himself in a dilemma surrounded on all sides.

Xu Jinghong looked at the guy in front of him who looked like a civilian husband and raised the corners of his mouth: "What a powerful disguise. Tell me, who are you and why you are here. If you want to save your life from any torture, I advise you to be honest!"

The man said in a hoarse voice, "You are really awesome. I tried my best to get close to you, but you still saw through it at once. But don't be proud. Now that you are so close to me, I'm sure enough to kill you before you die!" As he spoke, his whole body had been balled up, and then hit Xu Jinghong like a ball.

As a killer assassin, once their identities are exposed and they are under siege, their first reaction is to leave immediately. Because only by surviving can they have the opportunity to continue to assassinate the target. And when the back road is completely cut off, they have to work hard to complete the task. That's what this person must think.

But he is obviously going to be disappointed. Just as he hit Xu Jinghong, Xu Jinghong just shook it gently and dodged his full blow, and then the long knife in his hand patted horizontally. Pa!" With a sound, the man was slapped on the back by Xu Jinghong's long knife, turning the force of his front collision into a fall and hitting the ground heavily.

This move is exactly the ability of four or two thousand pounds, which is very common in Taoist skills. Xu Jinghong has already reached a very high level, which makes the sergeants around him can't help shouting.

When he was restrained by Xu Jinghong's move, the man's face showed a dead face. Only then did he understand how big the gap between himself and his goal was. Even if he really got close, he was afraid that Xu Jinghong could not be killed by him.

"The last time I ask you, who are you and who asked you to come here?" Xu Jinghong asked with a sense of understanding that he was already a little angry when he saw that the other party was so ignorant.

"You can't get anything from me, except a corpse! And our people will always avenge me..." The man frowned, and a black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. After trembling a few times, his body was completely frozen there. Depending on the situation, people have died of breath.

"What a strong poison..." The most knowledgeable old dog sighed: "This is a dead man. Once he is caught by mistake, he will end himself with the poison hidden in his mouth. But this is also a real hero..."

"A good man? It's just a loser!" After Xu Jinghong sneered, he suddenly stretched out his knife and cut a knife in his throat. Black blood flowed out. The poison was so domineering that it eroded the whole body at once.

Seeing that everyone couldn't bear to look at him, Xu Jinghong said, "We are soldiers. When we meet the enemy's body when cleaning the battlefield, we will make up a knife to prevent the fish from leaking from the net. Although he seems to be poisoned, who can guarantee that he is not pretending to be dead to escape? Only in this way can we really eliminate future troubles!"

Although everyone can understand Xu Jinghong's intention, many people still feel a chill on their backs. At this time, everyone felt the other side of Xu Jinghong, the ruthless side. In fact, Xu Jinghong didn't want to do this, but when he was against his enemy, there was a voice in his mind commanding him to do something. This may be the subconscious, because it can better protect his safety.

After putting away the knife, Xu Jinghong ordered: "Take off all his clothes..."

"Isn't it too much for the team to treat a dead person like this..." Geng Zhong said uneasily.

"Did you say that I wanted to humiliate him? Wrong, I think there must be some clues on him. Since he refuses to tell us his identity, let his body tell us! Otherwise, this is a hidden danger after all. I don't know who is going to be against us!"

After listening to Xu Jinghong's explanation, everyone relaxed a little, and some soldiers came forward to take away all the assassin's clothes. Sure enough, as they expected, the man had nothing but the short blade that fell to the ground. Obviously, he was also prepared enough to make people find anything from his belongings.

After carefully looking at the body for a long time, no one found it. At this time, Xu Jinghong took a step forward and began to look at all parts of the body inch by inch. He did not believe that such an assassin would have any identity marks. And he also mentioned that he had other accomplices, so there must be something in common between them.

Suddenly, Xu Jinghong's eyes lit up. He had found what he wanted. On the inside of the assassin's arm, where it was connected to his body, there were some lines that were different from the skin color. When he ordered people to raise the torch to look at it, Xu Jinghong could clearly see the tattoo at the secret (river crab). Short knife of blood!

"This is... Shadow Killing Hall!" When the knowledgeable old dog saw this article, his face changed a little and said in a trembling voice, "This is really in big trouble!"

"Hmm?" Xu Jinghong had never heard of this name, so he quickly asked, "Old dog, what kind of organization are you talking about? Why do you think you are so panicked? Is he really so terrible?

"Shadow Killing Hall is the most mysterious and terrible killer organization in the Song Dynasty!" Xiong Geng also had some insight, so he explained, "They took people's money to eliminate disasters for others. I heard that they have not failed so far!" And this time, their target is actually the team, and their people were killed by us, afraid that in the future..."

"What's mysterious, what's terrible? Wasn't he killed by me?" Xu Jinghong smiled disapprovingly and said, "If he is really so powerful, why doesn't many people know? Isn't it because you are afraid of being wiped out by the government? No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than the army?

"But...they are indeed the nightmares of many people in the Song Dynasty. They have assassinated many famous people, even the great officials in the territory, and nearly ten people have been assassinated by them.

"Moreover, what the team is facing today should be the weakest group of their hundreds of killers!" At this time, the old dog has come out of the shock just now and said in some astringent words, "Although this person is also a killer, he is not a character at all. If it is a good hand, I'm afraid we can't find them!"

"Oh, it seems that the old dog still knows something about this. Let's talk about it!" Xu Jinghong also had to pay attention to this matter. Although he thought that an assassination gang could not be the opponent of the regular army, for the sake of safety, he still had to know more about it. Only by knowing himself and knowing the enemy can he be invincible. He has guessed who has such a big hand to hire these killers who need a lot of money to do it.

"No one knows what the Shadow Killing Hall is like and where their general altar is, otherwise it can't be called mysterious. However, their internal structure is popular in the world. Except for some stew, the whole movie killing hall is full of killers and assassins. According to the skills of these killer assassins, they are divided into three classes.

"The lowest level is the assassin-like killer in front of him. He is good at martial arts and proficient in killing, but he is not a master." The old dog's words made Xu Jinghong nod secretly. Indeed, with this person's ability, he is really not a good hand. He can probably assassinate some targets that he can't use martial arts, or that the shadow killing hall doesn't pay much importance on.

"The second level is much more powerful than them. I heard that the killers on this level are often disciples of some famous masters. For various reasons, they have thrown into the shadow killing hall. They have sold their lives to the shadow killing hall. These people's martial arts and assassination skills are far higher than the third level, so their targets are some good-faced people, even imperial officials! Because of this characteristic, sometimes it is difficult to escape from the success of the assassination, and they can change their lives, so they are called dead men!"

This statement made Xu Jinghong couldn't help but look at the body in front of him. I don't know if this guy was also influenced by those people to swallow poison and committed suicide after his failure.

"The killers and dead men of these two classes have accounted for more than 90% of the members of the Shadow Killing Hall, but compared with the first-order zodiac animals, they are nothing. As the name implies, there are only 12 killers at the first level, but they are the key to a foothold in the world and make a great reputation. Although there are only 12 people, what they have done is something that hundreds of other people can't do.

"Oh, what did they do to make you admire it so much?" Now Xu Jinghong is more interested in them.

"Ten years ago, because the appearance of the Shadow Killing Hall affected the interests of the Cao Gang, the head of the Cao Gang at that time connected with the government and sent people to set a trap for them, causing more than a dozen killers under the Shadow Kill Hall to die. At this time, the Shadow Killing Hall began to take crazy revenge. In just three months, he assassinated seven big figures of the Cao Gang, which made the Cao Gang lose nearly one million income that year. For a moment, it made the Cao Gang talk about the shadow change. Finally, it admitted its mistake in front of the world and promised not to provoke them in the future, which made the Shadow Killing Hall stop its secret to them. Kill.

"At the same time, the officials who dealt with the killing hall for receiving bribes from the Cao Gang also received heavy retaliation. Many officials were killed overnight. Although the court also sent a lot of strength to protect and capture them, there was no gain in the end. In the end, the incident ended with the killing of all the murderers who offended him. The killing hall also made his name in the government and the opposition, so that people dare not underestimate these assassins and killers!"

When Xu Jinghong and others heard what he said, they also took a cold breath. How bold and capable do they have to dare to fight against such a large gang that has lasted for thousands of years and the imperial court? Xu Jinghong said in disbelief, "Then the court did not react at all and allowed those killer assassins to assassinate the officials of the court?"

"Of course not. After knowing the news, the owners of the seven families strictly ordered the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice at that time to investigate the matter. And Zhu Shangshu is also capable, and he found some eyebrows within a month. But at this time, one morning, everyone found that the body of Zhu Shangshu appeared on the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He was strangled alive with a rope!

"At the same time, a warning letter was left in the main hall of Fang, Chu and Cui. After reading this letter, the owners of the three families did not dare to make trouble again, and persuaded the other four families to stop dealing with the shadow killing hall. Since then, the court's attitude towards the Shadow Killing Hall has also become blind and let them run rampant in our Song Dynasty, making them the biggest gang of the underworld after Cao and Yan.

Xu Jinghong nodded and said, "This shadow killing hall is really interesting, which can make the two major gangs and the court make concessions to them. It seems that their strength is indeed extraordinary..."

"Team Zheng, I heard that the closing price of the killing hall is extremely high. Who on earth hates you so much that he actually thought of inviting them to attack you? But the Ye brothers?" Xiong Geng asked puzzledly.

"It shouldn't be them. After that incident, the Ye Hao brothers didn't have enough money. Why did they pay for my life at a high price? And I think I can think of who invited the movie killer.

"Who is it?" Now even Tian Dahu couldn't help asking.

"I can't tell you yet, because it will only scare you. But I believe that as long as we keep working hard, these people who only dare to deal with us with vicious schemes behind our backs will taste the consequences!" Xu Jinghong could naturally guess, but he couldn't say his thoughts at this time.

"What are you going to do with that team? Now that the killers in the movie hall have been killed by us, they will definitely not let us go. They are famous for reporting..." The old dog was very worried and said, "Because they are killers and assassins, they may appear at any time. As the saying goes, open guns are easy to hide, but dark arrows are hard to defend.

Xu Jinghong smiled at this view: "They are already going to kill me. Do I still need to show mercy to them? As for worrying about their assassination, as long as we are more careful, what can we do with some assassins? The reason why they were unfavorable before is that they didn't meet me, because they faced too many scruples. And I'm different. I'll let the people of the movie killer know a truth. Thinking of assassinating me to earn commission is the most wrong one of the decisions they have made over the years!"

"Moreover, our current top priority is to send grain and fodder to Dingxi City. I don't believe that these clowns can do anything under the protection of 100,000 troops! As long as they dare to come, they will inevitably die!"

The words full of confidence made the soldiers around them feel confident. They didn't know much about the Shadow Killing Hall, but now there are killers in front of the Shadow Killing Hall, so they naturally don't take this group of assassins as a matter.

Of course, they will not understand that when he said this, Xu Jinghong still had a little drumming in his heart, because he knew very well that the old dog would not exaggerate these enemies. The reason why he said so was obviously because he still had a certain fear of Shadow Killing Hall. It can make the old dog feel afraid, which shows the horror of the shadow killing hall.

However, as Xu Jinghong himself said, since the other party already wants his own life, there is no reason for him not to fight back and kill him. Let's see how many skills they have!

Because of the killer of the Shadow Killing Hall, the defense of the barracks this night was stricter than usual. It was not until dawn that everyone was relieved. Then, Tian Dahu and others left the brigade and rode to Dingxi City to report the news, while Xu Jinghong took the others to continue to move forward slowly.

Five days later, Xu Jinghong and others finally saw the wall of the city built purely to resist the enemy in the mountains and forests, and there was no trace of barbarians or shadow killing enemies along the way. Seeing that it had arrived at the destination, all the soldiers looked relieved.

However, Xu Jinghong's face was more worried. In the past few days, he did not see people from Dingxi City come to pick him up, nor did they come back in time to report. This strange performance cast a shadow on his heart. I don't know what happened to them after they came to Dingxi.

However, the brigade did not stop because of this, and soon reached the three-foot-high wall. At this time, a team of people also came from the other side and collided with Xu Jinghong's team in front of the gate. The gate can only accommodate a team of people in and out, and then both sides cannot enter at the same time.

But Xu Jinghong frowned deeply when he saw the leader of the team...

@@@

Sincerely ask for a collection of teeth, it's too miserable!!!!!
