Sword Net Three Strategies Hidden One Thought Becomes Calamity

The uninvited guests who sneaked into the inner city of strong winds did not even disturb the roosting birds, but they disturbed the people who were used to the silent night.

Through a layer of paper windows, a figure swayed past outside.The people in the room gradually took shape, the repaired mask glowed with a cold light, and the eyes under the mask slowly opened.

Judging by the man's actions, he seems to be from the same family, and he may be a hired killer.Now that it has been pasted under the eaves, the target of the assassination is probably around here.But judging from the layout of the inner city, the answer is obvious - the target is Lu Jie next door.

Thinking of this, Tang He frowned, moved to the door, pushed the door open a thin crack under pressure, leaned behind the door and looked in that direction.Sure enough, the man in night clothes was parked in front of Lu Jie's house, leaning down, probably blowing incense into the house from his movements.

There was no movement in Lu Jie's room, the killer took two steps to the side, and gently pushed open the door.Tang He squinted his eyes, and when the killer's figure was completely covered in Lu Jie's house, he stepped outside in a dodge, and used the trick of floating light to erase his traces, and touched in front of Lu Jie's house.

While silently withdrawing the plum blossom dart under the armguard, and observing the situation inside the room along the crack of the door, he thought to himself, it stands to reason that they are all colleagues, compared to the experienced Lu Jie would not be so stupid as to fall into the trap so easily.But the killer walked all the way to Lu Jie's bed, and Lu Jie lay motionless on the bed, without opening his eyes, as if he was fainted by the incense.

Do you want to make a move?

This question lingered in Tang He's mind for a second, and when he saw the edge of the dagger in the man's hand, he became too worried. The plum blossom dart was thrown out with a snap of his fingers and aimed at the man's wrist.The moment the dagger was knocked down and was about to fall to the ground, another crossbow flew from outside the door, hitting the dropped dagger back from bottom to top, and stabbing it into the chest impartially.The killer froze for a moment, and fell straight to the ground without even uttering a cry.

Tang He walked into the room, looked down at Lu Jie who was lying on the bed, and realized that he was unnecessary.

Lu Jie opened his eyes and smiled with a relaxed look. "Why, I would have kept him alive."

"The same thing happened to Shen Xiao in the morning, and the two of them were captured and brought back, and they were silenced that night." Lu Jie said, changing his legs in a comfortable position, looking at the bed curtain for some time. Moving to Tang He's face beside him, his voice was slightly lowered and soft but more coercive than usual: "Your attack... I can't help but suspect you—"

"..."

Tang He remained silent, Lu Jie chuckled, and stopped talking. "I'm just kidding."

"You don't have to doubt me." Tang He replied lightly, turned around and lit the oil lamp on the table, walked to the killer's body, and knelt down to examine it.

"Then why? After all, you're not stupid enough to expose yourself."

Lu Jie smiled and sat up. Tang He was looking for clues on the body with his back facing him. From Lu Jie's angle, he couldn't see the expression on Tang He's face, but he could imagine Tang He's reaction when he heard his next sentence. "Neither—do you foolishly think that I was drugged and came to help me?"

Tang He's subordinates were taken aback by the simple movements, and immediately covered it up again.

Seeing that Tang He didn't answer, Lu Jie added in a playful voice: "The little cat is worried about me?"

"Don't speculate." With the same cold tone and unchanging indifference, Tang He searched for clues to prove the identity of this person, and replied lightly: "If you die, I will be able to return to you the next day." Let's go together."

"Ha...hahaha." Lu Jie laughed repeatedly, "The trick I taught you before is pretty good, how long have you practiced it?"

"Six days."

The hand searching the corpse suddenly came across a hard object, Tang He paused, followed the shape of the object, and found a token from the waist belt of the corpse.Looking at it with the light from behind - it was actually the token of the Haoqi League.

"Shen Xiao also found the same thing." Lu Jie added.

The brows that were already restless frowned more and more tightly, all kinds of doubts came to mind, Tang He held the token inadvertently while keeping his mouth shut, and Gu Zi fell into deep thought.

"Don't you know about the Haoqi League?"

Lu Jie half-closed his eyes and looked at Tang He. Tang He knew that Lu Jie was being sarcastic, but after thinking about it, what Lu Jie said was also true.If it was the killer sent by the Haoqi League, why didn't Xuanying contact her in advance?Not only was there no contact, but Tang He knew almost nothing about their assassination.

If this is the case, there is only one hidden explanation behind it—Haoqi League has lost trust in itself.

If not, who would pretend to be a member of the Haoqi League to assassinate Lu Jie?

Two possibilities, incredible.Now that the person is dead, there is no way to ask any clues.It really should be like what Lu Jie said, leaving someone alive. I was impatient, but I committed such a big taboo as a killer. At the same time, a further question jumped in front of me: Why are you in a hurry?

Tang He raised his head, and met Lu Jie's smiling eyes.

The moment a possibility was about to surface in Tang He's mind, he was suppressed by the sense of absurdity.

Without saying a word, he stood up and walked to the door, and called the patrolling guards over. The guards hurriedly carried away the corpses in the room and cleaned up the blood. During this period, neither Lu Jie nor Tang He made a sound.

It wasn't until the guards left the house and Tang He wanted to leave that Lu Jie called him to stop him.

"Tang He."

Tang He was taken aback when he heard the sound, and stopped in his tracks.

Lu Jie leaned against the door with his chest folded as usual, "You killed the witness, aren't you going to do something to make up for it?"

Tang He looked at Lu Jie vigilantly, half of Lu Jie remained in the shadow, his silver hair blocked his profile.Just like before, with a calmer and more peaceful voice than usual, the invisible aura reveals danger.

"What do you want me to do?" Tang He asked.

He froze there, watching Lu Jie approaching Tang He step by step, until his footsteps stopped in front of Tang He, Lu Jie's face was not even a foot away from him.The oppressive feeling spreading in the silence made Tang He feel chills for no reason.

Subconsciously, Tang He wanted to raise his hand to push Lu Jie away, but Lu Jie restrained Tang He's action first, raised his arm and right hand to grab Tang He's jaw, forcing him to raise his head to face him, and said in a low voice:

"You are responsible for finding out who is behind this group of people."

The end of the sentence disappeared in the chill of the night, Lu Jie let go of him, and his usual smile returned to his face, "The breathing is messed up."

Tang He who came back to his senses immediately turned and walked out of Lu Jie's room.

The Valley of the Wicked has not been peaceful these days.

The wheelchair rolled slowly and creakingly on the barren and dry ground, and the hand holding the wheelchair trembled without warning. With the severe pain in his chest, Pei Guiqing, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly started to move violently. Cough.I was going to look for the elixir in my clothes, but in a panic, I accidentally shook the white porcelain bottle in my arms to the ground. Pei Guiqing stretched out his hand but failed to touch the bottle. He wanted to stand up but almost missed it. Throwing down, he could only watch the bottle roll forward.

Pei Guiqing struggled forward in the wheelchair, but the bottle couldn't wait and fell off the cliff.

"Mr. Pei?"

A familiar voice came from the side.Pei Guiqing turned her head to look, and saw that Ye Junqian was just passing by, coming this way.

"Sir, why are you here?" Ye Junqian looked at Pei Guiqing's pale face and embarrassed expression, and frowned, fearing that something had happened, he hurried over and followed Pei Guiqing's gaze to look down the cliff ——

A porcelain vase lay on a rock protruding from the cliff.

"Sir, there is a porcelain vase on the rock below, did you drop it?"

Pei Guiqing nodded, "Yeah. It contained the elixir to undo the Twin Life Gu. I was too careless..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Ye Junqian unloading his heavy sword and about to go down the cliff. In a hurry, he quickly reached out to hold Ye Junqian, and persuaded him, "Junqian, don't take any risks, the Cursed Blood River is below, and the rocks near here are dry, cracked and loose, in case something goes wrong."

"Don't worry sir, I have lightness kung fu anyway, nothing will happen."

"Junqian—"

Ye Junqian turned his head and smiled, then jumped down along the edge of the cliff.Pei Guiqing waited anxiously on the cliff, but couldn't see the situation below the cliff.Every minute and every second is so long, with helplessness and worry lingering in my heart, I had to try to call out, "Junqian?"

A voice came from far below the cliff: "We'll be there soon—"

Pei Guiqing didn't even have time for peace of mind, and then he heard Ye Junqian's narrow cry, Pei Guiqing's heart tightened, and the heartbeat almost hung in his throat.

"Junqian?! Junqian?!"

"I'm fine—!"

Ye Junqian stretched out his hand to grab a protruding stone lump, and hung himself under the cliff, with the bottle on the left.It's just that the distance is a little far away, and it can't be reached by just reaching out.

Ye Junqian hesitated for a moment, and the stone that served as a support point loosened. Ye Junqian looked up and saw some fine stones falling around the stone.The situation could not tolerate any delay, so Ye Junqian drew out his light sword. The blade of the sword had just touched the porcelain bottle with difficulty. The rock just fell off completely.

On the cliff, Pei Guiqing saw the porcelain vase flying into the air, but there was no shadow of Ye Junqian.When he was about to collapse, he suddenly heard some movement under the cliff again. Ye Junqian's figure leaped into the air to catch the porcelain vase, turned around and landed safely beside Pei Guiqing with a light sword.

"Here, let Mr. worry."

Pei Guiqing took the bottle that Ye Junqian handed over, and squeezed the bottle very tightly, so hard that his skinny joints turned white, and his voice was full of tremors that couldn't be concealed.

"Junqian, it's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine."

Ye Junqian felt more and more that something was wrong with Pei Guiqing's expression.It may be the face that was almost desperate before, but now it may be the corners of the eyes that are flushed with ecstasy.In any case, what caused Pei Guiqing to pay so much attention to it and even lost his composure, Ye Junqian was a little confused about what was in the bottle, so he said cautiously: "Sir, let me ask one more question, what is in this bottle?"

Pei Guiqing gradually let go of her hand, let the porcelain bottle lie on her palm, and opened her mouth slowly.

"The antidote to Twin Life Gu."

When Ye Junqian heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly asked: "So Ah Xiao's life can no longer be restrained by Xiang Jing?!"

"No, I dare not say that." Pei Guiqing sighed a long time, put the porcelain vase back into the thick black robe, and his eyes became gloomy again.Looking at Pei Guiqing's expression, Ye Junqian's heart almost cooled down, and the corners of his mouth raised in hope could not maintain a smile now, and turned into worry.

Pei Guiqing was silent for a while, and opened his mouth to call out in a low voice.

"Junqian, come with me."
