Chapter 422: Transaction Waves (Part I)
At the end of the day, the dark clouds on Tiangong Mountain cover the moon, and the deep forest is full of mystery and gloom. Occasionally, there are a few cold insects in the winter night, and the silent night forest is a little murderous, which may indicate that Tiangong Mountain is destined to be unpeaceful tonight......
At that time, in the middle of the night, there was the sound of footsteps shuttling through the forest from a remote part of the forest. Reflecting the bleak starlight under the dark night forest, dozens of black-clothed people rushed by, like ghosts under the lightning in the night, revealing a terrifying aura like cold light......
The shuttle forest leaves "rustled" a few times, and the leader at the front suddenly stopped. He made a gesture for the people behind him to stop as well.
"Senior Brother Bai Xie, what are we doing in this place?" The man in black behind saw that the leader had stopped, so he also stopped and asked.
The black-clothed man named Bai Xie ripped off his black mask, revealing a hideous face - this person was the strange person who rescued He Tong who had attacked Huang Ji in the Lanxiang Courtyard before, his name was Bai Xie, and he was also one of the right-hand men of the Ghost King Division. In this way, Bai Xie is the last of the four apprentices of this ghost king master, and it seems that the people of the ghost king master are also involved in this official and thief transaction.
Bai Xie stopped and looked around Tiangong Mountain, and then said in a cold tone: "Before, our people had undercover agents in the official mansion of Juming City, and tonight the people from the official mansion will have an unshady affair with the robbers here......
"But what does this have to do with us?" asked the man in the back.
"Naturally, we don't pay attention to those officials and thieves, the only thing I'm interested in is ......," Bai Xie continued to say coldly, "I already know it in private. The people of the beggar gang will come out tonight to stir up this deal, if this is the case, I think Huang Ji, who is a son of the Ge Gang, or Canglong, who has a very good relationship with the beggar gang, will appear...... Although the master did not give the task order. But since she wants to catch Fang Ying, she must first meet with Huang Ji and Canglong who are beside her, and she will inevitably have to fight with them more in the future......" Bai Xie said as he pulled out the short sword at his waist to play. In the bleak night light, the short sword reflected an incomparably frightening cold light.
"But...... Senior Brother Bai Xie, are you really sure that the two of them will come back tonight?" the person behind continued to ask.
"It's definitely coming......" Bai Xie's eyes were full of murderous aura, "I really want to see it." The true abilities of these two people, as well as ...... Test my results to see if I'm really qualified to beat them both......"
"Then Senior Brother Bai Xie, you...... What do you do?" asked the man in the back.
Bai Xie looked up and looked ahead. I saw that there seemed to be a small abandoned temple in front of the mountain. Bai Xie thought for a while and instructed his subordinates: "Since the people of the beggar gang will interfere with this official and thief scheme, the scene of the transaction will definitely be chaotic, and someone will definitely take advantage of the chaos to escape." We can use them to lure Huang Ji or Canglong to show up...... You make an ambush here first. I'll bring them over again. If they dare to chase after me, I'll let them come and go—"
As he spoke, Bai Xie's eyes changed fiercely, and the short sword in his hand swung hard, and a cold light in front of him hurt, and the branches of a big tree in front of him were all split, and with a few "squeaks", several winter birds were frightened and flew away from the treetops......
Thereupon. Bai Xie instructed his subordinates to wait in ambush on the spot, and he went to the temple in front alone......
The small temple in Tiangong Mountain is very dilapidated. It looks like it's been abandoned for a long time. The area of the temple is not small, and there are broken Buddha statues and dusty cobwebs everywhere. It is not so much a temple to worship, but more like a haunted house, and under the moonlight of the dark clouds and dew in the cold winter, it is even more fierce.
Bai Xie walked slowly in a black cloak, his cloak covered his whole body, so black that it was mysterious and even terrifying, and no one could guess what would appear in his cloak in the next moment. Canglong and Huang Ji fought against him before, He Tong, Qiu Ruxin and Zhou Xingtong, are all mysterious masters with strange martial arts, and Bai Xie, the last of the four apprentices of the Ghost King Division, is known as the one with the highest martial arts among the four disciples, but under such a cloak, it seems the most low-key, but also the most frightening. The hideous face, murderous eyes, cool words, and strange cloak are like a ghost and god traveling through the underworld, and everyone in the world is terrified when they see it.
Bai Xie walked to the temple and looked up at the broken and old plaque of the temple. "Quanwang Temple......" Bai Xie muttered the three big characters with cracks on the plaque, and said with a sneer, "'The water of the spring in the sky, the king of people is not kissable, only the ghost and god path are determined' - hmph, this place is quite suitable for my 'ghost disciple' Bai Xie's residence, I will just wait here for the master......"
After speaking, Bai Xie used a swift shadow to enter the gloomy Quanwang Temple, and then disappeared and never came out again......
It is said that on the other side of Tiangong Mountain, where the clouds cover the moon, there are two figures groping forward......
"Why is Gongshan so dark this day, I can't see the road clearly......" A woman dressed in black complained as she drove the mountain road.
"Shhhhhh......h
It turned out that these two people were none other than Huang Ji and Fang Ying, who had previously learned about tonight's plan with a plan, and the two of them changed the outfit of the man in black and secretly went up to Tiangong Mountain at night, but now they came to this halfway up the mountainside, but they didn't see anyone else.
After all, Fang Ying had never been to the dangerous site of stealing and diving, and was a little puzzled: "Strange, didn't you say that the people from the official mansion would share the spoils with the bandit gang here tonight, why didn't anyone see it?"
Huang Ji stood in front of Fang Ying and motioned to squat down and said, "Fool, dividing the spoils is a very hidden matter, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, they will definitely be very careful." Even if there aren't many people here now, they will be careful and won't show their heads lightly......"
"Then what are we doing here?" Fang Ying asked again.
"We just need to wait—" Huang Ji whispered as he crouched in the grass, "After all, we are outsiders, and we can't show our heads lightly...... I think the righteous father must be the same, the disciples of the beggar gang should have been ambushed somewhere, just waiting for the two sides of the transaction to appear......"
"How long do you have to wait?...... it's so cold here," Fang Ying squatted among the grass, a little shivering. "This night suit is really thin, those who want to catch my ghost king master wear this dress in winter. Nor shall they be sinned?"
Huang Ji saw that Fang Ying was a little trembling, so he hugged one hand and said, "It's okay, it won't be cold if it warms up......"
Being suddenly hugged by Huang Ji, Fang Ying couldn't help but blush, but fortunately, Huang Ji just put one hand around his shoulder and didn't do too much, so Fang Ying was a little relieved. But the heartbeat is still fastening.
Huang Ji noticed that his behavior was a little too "unchecked", and he usually dealt with big men, and he didn't care too much about the relationship between men and women. I hugged it easily. When he reacted, he realized that Fang Ying was embarrassed to be hugged by himself like this, and Huang Ji himself blushed a little, but his hands seemed to be glued. hugged Fang Ying's shoulder for a long time and did not move away. The whole person was stunned.
However, Huang Ji's hand did not leave, and Fang Ying did not move, although she was a little embarrassed, but the two of them seemed to be stunned at the same time, and their minds were blank. It's also very good, and it's better than being frozen alone......
Huang Ji and Fang Ying waited here, and after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement. Fang Ying was a little impatient. He whispered, "Is this here?" The hour has already passed, and there is still no half a figure. Could it be that we're in the wrong place?"
"It will definitely not be wrong-" Huang Ji quietly affirmed, "Didn't you read clearly in the letter before, Sister Ying, I have been here for so long, I can sort out everything in Tiangong Mountain, and I won't be in the wrong place......"
"But after waiting for so long, there is no one yet, so I can make a little noise......" Fang Ying pouted, "Neither side of the transaction appears, I always feel that something is wrong......"
"They should also be waiting for ......," Huang Ji whispered again.
"What are you waiting for?" Fang Ying asked in a low voice.
"I'm waiting for ......the situation," Huang Ji continued, "I'm thinking, although they are scheduled to be at the hour of the hour, but to be on the safe side, they should be late to make sure that there is no abnormal situation around them......"
"That's how you know?" Fang Ying asked again.
"I guessed too......," Huang Ji replied, and then said to Fang Ying, "By the way, I can tell you in advance, this matter is already very dangerous, and you have to listen to me for every action." If Brother Canglong knew that I had brought you here to do such a dangerous thing, he would definitely blame me again......"
"Oops, I know I know, Brother Canglong's dead wood, except for completing the task, he won't ...... anything" Fang Ying first complained about Canglong, then leaned her head on Huang Ji's shoulder, and said softly, "Oh, I'm a little tired, I want to sleep for a while......"
"Hey, hey, hey, if you fall asleep here, you'll freeze......" Huang Ji shrugged his shoulders at first, and then seemed to hear something, and immediately increased his strength, "Hey, wake up, there's movement......"
When Fang Ying heard this, she immediately straightened up, looked around and whispered, "Where, where......"
"Shhhhhh......h
Sure enough, there seemed to be a slight movement ahead, dark clouds showed gaps, and under the treetops under the cold moon, there were suddenly several strange sounds.
"What kind of sound is this?" Fang Ying couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, maybe it's a code for officials and thieves to meet......" Huang Ji guessed.
However, Huang Ji's guess was indeed good, and it didn't take long for dozens of figures to suddenly appear under the tree, and it seemed that the sound just now seemed to be sure that there was no danger around, and the two sides came out to meet.
"There are a lot of people...... Huang Ji roughly counted the number of figures, and whispered.
After a while, the front suddenly brightened—dozens of people lit torches at the same time, and the dark woods suddenly lit up.
It gradually became clear to his face that the one who came down from the mountain and wore a special uniform costume was the man sent by Chief Long to Tiangong Mountain to pick up the goods tonight, and the person on the other side was naturally the bandits who had been dealing with the beggar gang a lot these days.
I saw that the language of the two sides is not very much, maybe for the sake of insurance and efficiency. The two sides saw only a few boxes of valuables, and a dozen robbers laboriously moved them from the cart, and it was obvious that the contents of the boxes had nothing but gold and silver. However, there was a small brocade box the size of the palm of the hand, which was easy to pick up, and it was mixed with the boxes of gold and silver, and I don't know what it was. After the robbers removed these things, they opened the box one after another, and it was indeed a silver tael that had been looted and looted, but the small brocade box was not opened.
On the side of the officers and soldiers. The person who took the lead asked, "What is that box?" It seems that he also has the same doubts as Huang Ji Fangying, and he doesn't know what is in the small brocade box.
The bandit leader smiled softly. Then he said: "This thing was obtained by chance, I heard that the people of the imperial court sent people down to inspect this area, this thing may be useful." If you Lord Song can't get this thing and let him fall into the hands of the court, maybe Lord Song's head will still fall to the ground, and there will be no way to make a fortune between us......"
"Is this so important?" asked the officer and soldier again.
"Of course...... Therefore, it is easy to say that gold and silver treasures are good. This thing must not fall into the hands of anyone else......" said the bandit leader with a smile again.
"What the hell is that box?" The conversation between the officials and thieves, Huang Ji still heard it clearly, and he himself was also concerned about the secret in the small brocade box.
Fang Ying has nothing to do here. asked in a low voice, "Brother Huang Ji, what should we do now?"
Huang Ji didn't answer immediately, and he didn't know what to do now......
The evil trade between the two sides was going on, and the officers and soldiers who arrived neatly carried several large boxes of gold and silver onto the cart. Only the leader of the officers and soldiers of the small brocade box held it himself. He knew that this was something that was related to the heads of the prefects. So he didn't dare to open it categorically, but he didn't know that the prefect Song Lianxun was already under the Juming City Mansion at this time, and he had become a ghost under Hu Yidi's knife......
"Let's go, take advantage of the darkness, don't let anyone else find out......," the robber leader said to the leader of the officers and soldiers when he saw that the deal was completed.
The leader of the officers and soldiers nodded and issued a random code. Ordered the entire team to evacuate......
"Whoosh-" "Ahh It hit a robber in the neck, and after a scream in the night, the robber was killed instantly.
"Oh no, it's been discovered, it must be a member of the beggars—" cried out the robber leader, ignoring nothing at this point.
"Where are the mice running—" At this moment, a seven-foot man descended from the sky, and shouted in a majestic voice. Immediately after that, a dragon roar came out, and a retreating dragon rushed down - the eighteen palms of the dragon descended immediately, and who else could fly there except for Ge Wei, the leader of the beggar gang.
Ge Wei stepped out, and all the thieves present panicked, but it was not long before a large number of beggars' disciples sprang out from several sides of the jungle - it seemed that they had been ambushed here early in the morning, waiting to catch the turtle in the urn.
"It's the father-" Huang Ji saw the scene in front of him and said excitedly, "They succeeded-"
"What should we do now?" Fang Ying asked quietly as she was still squatting in the grass, and she didn't dare to probe......
"Quick, put out the torch quickly-" The leader of the fleeing officers and soldiers saw that the transaction had been discovered by the beggars, and immediately ordered his soldiers.
Soon, in the midst of the chaos, the officers and soldiers who came to extinguish the torches almost at the same time, and the road down the mountain where they were going suddenly became dark. The beggar gang was concentrating their attention on the helpless bandits, and the fleeing officers and soldiers extinguished the torches and disappeared from the sight of the beggar gang disciples in an instant.
However, the actions of the officers and soldiers, Huang Ji, who was hiding on the side, could see it clearly. Huang Ji's eyes were certain, and he pulled Fang Ying beside him and said, "Get up, follow me-"
"What?-" Before Fang Ying could react to what was going on, she was dragged away by Huang Ji and went straight to the direction where the officers and soldiers secretly descended the mountain......
The leader of the officers and soldiers led his men down the mountain in the dark, and the group carried gold and silver chests, and the speed was extremely slow. The leader of the officers and soldiers thought for a while, then looked at the brocade box in his hand, and thought that the only thing on duty now was the brocade box in his hand, so he continued to order: "Throw away all the things in the car and go down the mountain on foot."
The leader did not dare to disobey the order, and with the "boom" of the cart being pushed, all the officers and men immediately lightened their burdens and continued to follow the leader......
And Huang Ji and Fang Ying followed closely behind, and as soon as the officers and soldiers lost the car in their front hands, Huang Ji's side followed. He looked at the black shadow that was fleeing at the foot of the mountain, and said to Fang Ying: "Let's continue to chase, that mysterious brocade box must still be in the hands of the leader of the officers and soldiers! That box is so mysterious, the contents must not be simple......
Fang Ying didn't say anything, after all, he had decided that all the Yiqiē listened to Huang Ji before. Huang Ji hurried down again, and Fang Ying had no choice but to follow...... (To be continued......)
