The ghost cried and dragged the horse's tail, and after swimming a total of five miles with the big black horse, he finally found a place to go ashore. When he got ashore and rode on horseback, the ghost cried a little faster.

It has been more than an hour since the ship went offshore, and although the ship went upstream slowly, with the help of the Dragon King of the River, it also reached a good speed, and it ran 70 miles in an hour. However, Ghost Cry rode the big black horse all the way, and it only took a little more than a stick of incense (half an hour) to reach the west gate of Jiangning City.

The big black horse was so tired that he was panting, and the ghost cried and patted it on the head: "Have a good rest, just wait for me here." ”

After speaking, he ran towards Jiangning City.

Jiangning City is different from Gusu City and Hangzhou City, although it is also very large, it is not as prosperous as Gusu City and Hangzhou City, so prosperous that even because of too many buildings, the inside and outside of the city have been blurred.

This is not the case in Jiangning City, which is in the middle of the city, and the houses are blue bricks and porcelain tiles, most of which are tall. Outside the city, there aren't that many buildings. There are also some scattered buildings along the road and along the river.

There is usually an inn or post station, or Buddhist temple and Taoist temple at intervals along the road, and there are some farming-oriented villages around. Along the river, there are some villages that are mainly fishing.

In the old days, the river was very lively at night, and the flower boats that walked on the river were particularly famous. However, since the Great Zhou hit the other side, those flower boats have disappeared. Now at night, it was quiet outside the city.

Instead of following the main road, Devil Cry waded through the forest, carefully avoiding populated places, avoiding poisonous snakes swimming in the grass, listening to the occasional barking of dogs from afar, all the way to a remote corner.

The quality of the Hunan army is indeed worrisome. Obviously, the daily training of the Great Zhou army on the other side of the strait is called a diligence, they saw it, and they did have a sense of crisis, so they patrolled the North Gate Water Village very diligently, and because of the long time someone inspected, the performance was quite medium-range.

As a result, there was silence on the city walls of this west gate, and occasional snoring could be heard. And the rest, not to mention. In this way, there is a hairy use. If it weren't for the fact that the people were still training the navy, and the navy didn't want to start a war before it was completed, they really crossed the river and came over, and with a surprise attack, the city would have come down.

Devil Cry pulled out the rope that had been prepared and took out his big mouth. The big mouth slapped the back of Devil Cry's hand in dissatisfaction, and Ghost Cry tied it to one of the ropes, then pulled out the long knife, tied the other end of the scabbard to the middle, and then shook it up with all his might.

Both it and the scabbard were thrown to the city wall, and the ghost cried and pulled the rope below, and the upper mouth twisted its body to adjust the position of the scabbard. There was a slight thud, and the scabbard snapped between the battlements.

With a long knife in his mouth, the ghost cried and pulled the rope, carried the ladder to the sky, and clicked a few times on the wall, and suddenly jumped up the three-zhang high city wall.

He went up to the wall, held the long knife in one hand, and used the nimble fingers of the other hand to untie the rope of the impatient Big Mouth, whispered to it to return to the big black horse, and then threw it under the city wall along with the scabbard rope.

The ghost cry came to the other side of the city wall, overlooking the entire Jiangning City, the Jiangning City at night was silent, the whole city was black, only occasionally there were lights in a few places, and the candlelight also looked dim after penetrating the window paper.

Ghost Cry jumped down from the city wall, landed lightly on the ground, and then pulled his legs and ran down the street towards the White House. There are no street lights on this street, and you can still see the road clearly through the moonlight, and you can see the figures in front of you, but once you get under the eaves, you can't really see it if you don't get closer.

Riding a big black horse and running wildly with a stick of incense, the wet clothes and hair on Ghost Cry have long been dried, but it is still a little uncomfortable, but it is acceptable. With his bare feet on the ground, there is an inexplicable sense of solidity.

This feeling made him feel as if he had returned to the feeling of walking alone in the wilderness before reaching the sea, and danger could arise at any time around him.

He was very insecure around him, and he walked against the wall as much as possible, hiding himself in the darkness as much as possible, while watching and listening to all directions, and his attention was more focused than ever. This feeling, which is exciting at the same time, makes his heart beat faster and makes his reactions more acute than ever.

There was a fire in front of him, and the ghost made a judgment after a moment of crying, he lowered his body, increased his speed, and dodged into a dark alley.

The next moment he entered the alley, two officers and soldiers, dressed as lanterns, hurried past each other complaining. When they left, Devil Cry came out again and continued on his way.

It took a quarter of an hour for Ghost Cry to come outside the White Mansion. He went around to the backyard and went up to the fence with a knife in his hand. However, he didn't rush in, but first only poked out half of his face and scanned the entire backyard, then crushed a tile, hid the fragments in the palm of his hand, and then with the other hand, he violently exerted force, and the whole body climbed over the fence, still in mid-air, and the fragments in his hand shot out.

A large dog lying in the dog pen suddenly lifted up, and then was hit on the head by a broken tile, and fell down without saying a word. Ghost Cry landed lightly, grabbed the long knife with his backhand and touched it.

There are a lot of people patrolling in the Bai Mansion, these people are all family soldiers raised by Bai Luo, compared to other family Ding nursing homes, they are more professional than other family guards, and they have done a lot of duty compared to those Hunan troops, plus because of the background, the Bai Mansion itself is not so big and not so complicated, so compared to the mansions of other dignitaries, it is much more difficult to sneak in.

However, his family soldiers were hacked to death and injured a lot by Ghost Cry, and the decline in numbers caused a lot of flaws in Baifu's defense, which made Ghost Cry much easier. What's more, his sneak this time was premeditated, so he was even more comfortable in water.

He stayed in Baifu for three days, and every night, he would go to the roof to admire the moon, drink wine and eat peanuts, and during the day, he would wander around whenever he had time. The purpose is not simple, it is to figure out the layout of the White Mansion.

However, Bai Luo didn't even notice these things of Ghost Crying, and it was no wonder that Ghost Cry looked down on him. The duty of the guards with swords is to defend the king. This is not just as simple as being a guard, as a henchman of the monarch, it is often necessary to help the monarch eliminate hidden dangers, such as ...... Kill someone who threatens his position!

Therefore, there are still times when guards with knives are also responsible for doing some shady work. Reconnaisance, counter-reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, infiltration and murder, etc., are all basic skills.

However, Bai Luo seems to have lost most of them.

On this side, Ghost Cry is busy, while on the other side, Bai Luo is entertaining guests in the hall.

Bai Luo sat in the main seat, and Bai Buttocks was also seated, but he looked very honest at the moment. And his guests, there were four of them, all of them were bare-chested, well-proportioned, with smooth skin, not strong or thin, and they looked very smooth. But looking at their appearance, they are not as good-looking as their figures.

A sharp-beaked monkey gills, he is Boss Li, known as the water monkey. With a square face and protruding eyes, he is Li Lao'er, known as the water fish. One has a gloomy face, he is Li Laosan, known as the water eagle. A miserable white man, he is Li Laosi, known as a water ghost.

The boss is good at boating, driving a small boat and flying like a shuttle on the water. The second and fourth are good swimmers, the second swimmer is fast, and no one can compare to him when he catches fish in the water. The fourth child is good at diving, and a fierce man can go down without showing his head for a quarter of an hour. As for the third child, he is good at feeding ospreys.

These four brothers are from Lijiayu Village, this village is terrible, in autumn the fish are fat and fishing, and in spring and summer, the old people in the village will drive boats to solicit customers, shuttling back and forth on the river. The young people of the village left their homes to ambush the lone cargo ships.

So, this is actually a den of water bandits, but the government just won't suppress them. First, because some people in this village work in the government, second, because they can still help with some dirty work, and third, because the village pays a lot of offerings every year.

And these four brothers are the most capable and most prestigious among the young people in this village. And they were the ones who were invited by Bailuo to deal with the ghost crying.

In the face of four fierce guys, even the white buttocks, who have always been arrogant, have to pick up their tails and be a good baby. The main thing is that these four people will not get used to him.

After a bit of drunkenness, the four brothers each carried one person out of the hall, and then squeezed into the west wing together. It was their habit, and in a strange place, the four brothers never separated. Even if you do something shameful, it's two people who do two people to be vigilant.

Bai Luo and Bai Buttocks looked at the four brothers who left, Bai Luo's face was smiling, and Bai Buttocks looked anxious. At the banquet, the four brothers had agreed to their request. For this, Bailuo has to pay the price of a hundred taels of silver.

Bai Bu dragged Bai Luo and hurried to the study, leaving the domestic servant who cleaned the room.

In the study, Bai Buttocks asked anxiously: "Dad, you know that they are blackmailing, why do you still agree to them?"

"Blackmail, so what. Bai Luo smiled and patted the shoulder of the white buttocks: "You, don't be anxious, listen to your father and me first." ”

Bai Luo pressed his white buttocks to the chair, with a doting smile on his face, made a cup of tea for him, and after calming his emotions, he said: "This is a big job, once they take it, most of the young people will definitely leave the village." The young man is gone, and the old man is left. And we, with soldiers under our command, didn't you think of something?"

"Dad, you mean?"

"Figured it out. ”

The white buttocks nodded excitedly, with a greedy glint in his eyes: "I've heard that there is a lot of oil and water in this village." ”

Bai Luo smiled and nodded: "Naturally, there are a lot." ”

"But...... What if they seek revenge on me? I have heard, these people are ruthless. ”

"Ruthless?" Bai Luo laughed: "So what, first kill all those guys who reported the news, and then kill all the old and young left in a village, and then let's ambush and wait for those young people to go home, and ten thousand arrows will be fired." ”

Bai Luo clenched his fists: "None of them can escape." When the time comes, not only will our money come back, but the goods they robbed will also belong to us. ”

He hammered his white buttocks with his fist: "It's not that those civil officials can't clean them up, they're too lazy to clean up, anyway, it's profitable every year." But we are different, we don't make a profit, we can only watch, and if we don't do a vote, we will be sorry for ourselves. ”

"But Dad, will we offend those civil officials like this? ”

"No, it won't. Bai Luo smiled gloomily, with bitterness in his smile: "In their eyes, your father and me are no different from those bandits, as long as we hand over the money, they can make profits as usual, and they won't care." If we can make more, maybe they will throw a bone for us to lick. ”

As he spoke, he wiped away some bitter tears and patted his white buttocks on the shoulder: "This time to earn his vote, I will find a way to stuff you under the door of Lord Changshi, you must study hard!"

The white buttocks choked in his heart, and for the first time he saw his father's weak side, and suddenly all kinds of grievances because of the name dissipated. He hugged Bai Luo hard: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely study hard." ”

Back in the bedroom, looking at the charming beauty lying on the bed, the white buttocks thought of her father's old face and lost her mood, and waved her to get out. The beauty was stunned, and after being slapped, she covered her face and hurriedly left with her clothes in her arms.

White buttocks sit at the desk, grabbing her hair hard. There was chaos in my head, and my father's words echoed over and over again.

A chicken bone smashed into the table and bounced twice in front of him, waking up the white buttocks.

The white buttocks were stunned for a moment, turned his head violently, and saw the ghost crying who was shaving his teeth, and the ghost cried and smiled: "Your chicken, it tastes really good." ”

The white buttocks trembled, opened his mouth, and the ghost cried and raised his hand violently, and the snow-white blade disappeared into his mouth. A snow-red blade stabbed out of the back of the head. Like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, it quickly retracted in an instant.

The fat figure shook and fell backwards. was held by the ghost crying hand, let him lie on the table, and carefully helped him blow out the candle.

In the study, Bai Luo was still thinking about his son's appearance before he left just now, and couldn't help but smirk. The kid finally got his senses.

Suddenly, a wind poured in, and the door opened again.

He thought it was his son who had returned, and raised his head: "What's ......?"

Then he saw a white light, and then the whole world suddenly fell into darkness. The sound of "boom" breaking through the air always echoed in the ears, very similar to the flying arrows, but much shorter.

A thin thread runs through Bai Luo's neck. That thin line, curling green smoke came out. The aroma of barbecue spreads through the house.

The blade of the Devil's Cry was red, as if it had just burned in the flames. He took out the sword oil and poured it on the blade, and in the "squeak" sound, a white smoke came out.

Just killing the father and son is not over, but also nagging the danger in the bud. He was outside the hall just now, but he could hear it clearly.

Outside the west wing, Ghost Cry stood at the door, fusing demonic energy, momentum, and the long knife in his hand. He has been practicing this method for a long time, and this is the first time he has really used it.

In the wing, the second and third who were working hard raised their heads, and the fourth eldest and fourth who were drinking also stopped in their hands.

"What's the sound?" the boss asked violently, the fourth shook his head, and the third patted the woman under him and scolded: "Quiet." ”

Jingle bell~

Jingle bell~

The sound is rhythmic and louder and louder in the ears.

"Did you hear that?" the boss asked the woman who was drinking with him, and the woman shook her head blankly. The eldest turned his head and asked the fourth again, "Did you hear that?"

The fourth child nodded, his pale face was already swollen red because of drinking, he shook his head vigorously, and said, "It seems to be ringing." ”

The fourth child turned his head and asked the woman next to him, "Did you hear that?"

The woman's face was full of horror and she shook her head again and again.

The other two asked the other two women the same question, but neither woman heard. All of a sudden, the scalps of the four brothers went numb at the same time.

The second said: "Could it be ......?"

"Shut up. The boss scolded, and then shouted, "Get out, you women, get out!"

Faced with the boss who was angry for some reason, the women panicked. The second and third children also jumped up, and they didn't recognize anyone: "Get out, get out." ”

Hearing the sound, the corners of the ghost's mouth curled, and he turned around and hid behind the wall next to the door. Then, the door opened, and four panicked women came out of it, disheveled.

The third child closed the door, and the four brothers gathered around together, and the eldest shouted in a low voice: "Holy shit, this place must be haunted." ”

They have been doing those transactions all year round, and they have naturally encountered a lot of strange things. Not to mention anything else, all kinds of water ghosts alone have been encountered more than ten times. The fourth child is like this, because of the water ghosts he encountered, one of them almost lost his life, and after escaping, his skin turned white like this.

The second child said: "It's useless to scold, let's light a fire, get together, don't care if you hear any sound, and spend this night." ”

The other three nodded, and hurriedly went to turn over the candles. Suddenly, the fourth child opened his mouth and asked loudly, "Who opened the window?"

The other three were slightly stunned, then shook their heads.

The boss shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the creepy ringing in his head, which seriously affected his hearing and made him irritable, but unfortunately, this action was just in vain, not only in vain, but also made him a little dizzy from the smell of alcohol. After shaking his head vigorously a few times, the boss gasped and said, "Don't go near the window!"

Then, he heard the voice of the second child: "You are ......"

Then, the candle in the old hand went out, and the head suddenly disappeared from the shadow he cast. The boss's heart was beating violently, and he hurriedly looked at the second child, only to see a blood-spurting headless corpse holding a candle.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in the corner of his eye. By the time he could react, the tip of the knife had pierced his eye and plunged into his skull.

The ghost cry is like a ghost, moving quickly in the small wing, and it is free to leave.

When he killed the second eldest child, a flying knife had already been thrown out of his hand, and the fourth child knelt down holding the bloody throat with the flying knife.

The third child opened his eyes angrily, looked at the assassin who suddenly appeared, picked up the stool and smashed it over.

Ghost Cry reflexively stabbed, and the stool split in two. The sword light passed through the third child's body.

There were two "clangs", and the stool that had been split in two fell to the ground almost at the same time. The third child ran two steps forward, passed by Ghost Cry, and then split his body in two, the lower half of his body fell at the foot of the bed, and the upper half of his body threw himself under the bed.

Inside the house, the strong smell of blood spread.

Ghost Cry took back the throwing knife, wiped the long knife and the blood stains on the flying knife, carefully helped them extinguish the candle, and then turned out the window, still afraid that they would catch a cold, helped them close the window before leaving.
