"Dong——dong——"
The sound of clappers sounded throughout the night, spreading throughout the small courtyard of Jingzhe Villa.
In a remote courtyard of a villa built on a cliff, there was actually a dedicated person keeping watch. The sound of the watch coming from the outer wall can be clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone inside the wall.
Although it was only the evening watch, it was already completely dark, and there was not a single light in the courtyard where nine people lived.
Since dark, no lights have been lit in the other courtyard. Guests living in rooms will not light lights to reveal their location.
The entire courtyard turned into a dark forest, with all hunters and prey lurking quietly, waiting for opportunities to move.
"That's it."
In the darkness, Tang Zhao pulled out the talisman needle and pushed the window with his hand.
Black Widow didn't expect that he would dare to push the window with his hand just after untying the talisman. She didn't give herself any room for error. She was about to remind him to be more cautious when she heard an almost silent "click" and the window opened just like that. .
All mechanisms, alarms, and superimposed symbols have disappeared.
This supposedly inaccessible window has become a portal of freedom, allowing entry and exit without attracting attention.
The secret room has been cracked.
Advance to attack, retreat to defend.
Black Widow let out a heavy breath, feeling that she was truly out of the Gu insect's vessel at this moment and could breathe fresh air like a human being.
"It's simpler than expected. They are all the most basic talismans. The mechanism is far from sophisticated." Tang Zhao opened the window and said, "If I don't want to attract attention, I can go in and out directly."
His light speed swordsmanship can follow the trajectory of light directly to the end. During this period, it does not look at whether there are any obstacles, but whether it can transmit light. As long as light can pass through, people can pass through.
The doors of the rooms in the annex are not light-tight, but the windows are mostly made of colored glass and plain paper. A little light is enough for Tang Zhao. He could enter and leave everyone's room without any hindrance.
It's just that it's night now, and a bright light is still too eye-catching. You can also try it in another courtyard and hit another swordsman's window with your light. It's really a bit too contemptuous.
"Master, what are you going to do?"
Tang Zhao looked at Black Widow.
Although he is stronger, he is entrusted by Black Widow to help, and naturally the wishes of Black Widow take precedence. To put it bluntly, killing the old village owner is only beneficial to Black Widow. If Black Widow is unwilling, why should Tang Zhao be so thankless?
The Black Widow pondered for a moment and said: "Of course I want to kill the old guy, but if he does it in another courtyard, it will be very dangerous to leave this other courtyard and touch the Jingzhe Villa to kill people. This Jingzhe Villa is their home base, and they are buried there." You have gone through so many mechanisms, how can you be foolproof?"
Tang Zhao thought thoughtfully and said, "That makes sense." He wasn't worried about any hidden weapons, but he thought of the thunder and earth outside. Those thunder soils were all dug from the Demon Cave or even the Broken Realm. Even if they are not rare treasures, they are still valuable. They are beyond the reach of ordinary martial arts forces. This shows that Jingzhe Villa has quite a lot of background.
Furthermore, it is true that the old man is a swordsman in his dying years, but it does not mean that the Jingzhe Sword has always been a swordsman's sword. Since Meng Huazhou is in charge of the magic weapon, the Jingzhe Sword must have been produced by swordsmen. Some of the magic weapons left behind by the swordsman may have even been arranged into a magic weapon array, allowing Meng Tiansheng to grasp the overall situation of Jingzhe Villa at the last moment.
Without a detailed plan, it would still be difficult for him to kill someone by himself.
Black Widow said: "In terms of effect, if you want to take the throne immediately, killing all the candidates is the same as killing the old man..." She glanced at Tang Zhao and knew that he was not interested, so she continued, " But the more people kill, the greater the risk. Especially the people with external forces they invited to help. We haven’t figured out the details yet. If there is a hidden dragon and a tiger, it will be difficult to kill, and there may be future troubles."
Tang Zhao looked at her and said: "It's not good for the left, it's not good for the right, so just sit still and let nature take its course?"
Black Widow said: "Standing still is a bad idea. It's still early now, and the killing time is between the first and second and third watch. Even if we are tyrannical, how do we know that these poisonous insects don't have weird tricks?"
Black Widow comes from Black Spider Villa and doesn't mind at all when she calls others poisonous insects. "And the old guy likes to make people kill each other so much, how can he allow someone to stay still? He might even arrange to recruit people outside the plan."
She looked out the window. In the hazy night, almost no light could be seen through the window paper: "Maybe his method is already on the way. If you don't kill someone tonight, you will definitely be unqualified. So, I still have to kill someone. Two meanings."
Tang Zhao listened silently, and the weirdness in his heart became more and more obvious-killing one or two people meant something so evil, but it was normal to say it on this occasion.
Even he didn't react immediately. This sentence was full of evil. It can only be said that the atmosphere in Jingzhe Villa is really fierce and depressing. It is worthy of being a battlefield for Gu fights. Here, all cruelty happens naturally, even killings and assassinations have been eliminated from the standpoint of good and evil, leaving only the most primitive laws of the jungle.
A group of chaotic evils gather together, and the battle situation presented is chaotic and neutral.
Is this reasonable?
Is this... can it be reasonable?
Tang Zhao shook his head, pulled himself out of this atmosphere, and made up his mind - he still had to solve the problem from the source, and never play such a cruel and exciting game that was actually boring and shameless.
"How about luring the snake out of its hole?"
"Tell me?"
Tang Zhao said: "Since this courtyard is a Gu fighting ground, and he attaches great importance to it, let's create chaos here and force him to come over to check. This way we can lure him out of his lair. It turns out that we are secretly here, and they are here. bright."
What a common strategy.
Black Widow asked: "What if he doesn't actually care that much? What if he is already asleep now and just waits to watch the fun tomorrow morning?"
…
Tang Zhao said: "What does the owner think?"
Black Widow said: "Actually, I don't like Gu fighting, but since we have the opportunity to fight Gu, we might as well take it seriously. In fact, we have a great advantage..."
Tang Zhao hurriedly shook his hand, not out of modesty, but because it was unlucky to say such words beforehand.
Black Widow said: "So if possible, I still want to resolve the battle tonight. Either kill them all, or make them surrender."
Tang Zhao said: "Can you do it?"
Black Widow said: "If you can't do it, kill them all."
Tang Zhao paused for a moment, then Black Widow said: "Press everyone down, and then you can justifiably ask the old guy to force him into the palace. There is no need to make a sneak attack, just use the usual rules to force him up. If he gives up his position at that time, he will give up." He lives until he dies. If he doesn't want to, let him just die. How about that?"
...It’s also a very rough plan.
Black Widow stretched out two fingers and said: "We will definitely take action tonight, but since we are not going to kill them all, let us set two rules first. Separate the chickens to be killed and the monkeys to be a warning. The principles of killing chickens - Anyone who reaches out to us must die."
Tang Zhao nodded. There is nothing to say. The rules of the world apply everywhere outside Jingzhe Villa.
"Second, if there is an invasion by outsiders, such as the old guy's confidants who come out to stir up trouble, they must be killed. We can kill with earth-shattering force. On the one hand, we can scare other people and draw the opponents to our side first. On the other hand, just in case. What if luring the snake out of its hole works?"
Tang Zhao said: "Okay."
Those who kill are always killed, and those who recruit from outside the market must naturally be prepared to be killed.
A hasty plan was made, and the two fell silent at the same time. The interior and exterior of the house were instantly swallowed up by the quiet night.
There is still half an hour before the second watch.
While waiting quietly, Black Widow suddenly chuckled and said: "Azhao, don't take the initiative when killing people. I'll do it. This is my business. Only when I can't do it, I ask you to save me."
In the darkness, her voice was very low and soft, with a slight breathiness, like a whisper in her ears.
Tang Zhao smiled softly and said: "Sister Yin, there is no need for this. If I was really hesitant, why would I agree to come to Jingzhe Villa? I am not the same person I was before. If I were asked to hold the Haechi Sword now, I would probably It can’t be picked up.”
After being quiet again, Tang Zhao suddenly spoke again and said, "I have another idea that can save trouble."
Half an hour passed like running water. The second update has arrived.
It is already late at night, and the period from the second watch to the third watch is when people are most sleepy. Tonight is the end of the month again, the clouds are deep and the moon is crescent, and there is no light in the sky and the earth. The so-called night with dark moon and high wind, a day of murder and arson, refers to such a night.
At this time, it is a good time to kill.
Wuwuwu——
The sound of the wind hitting the windows of the other courtyard was like the sound of swords.
"ah--"
A scream pierced the night sky.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of fire shot up into the sky and burned through a corner of the room in the blink of an eye. In the dark night, the fire was extremely dazzling and could be seen clearly from more than ten miles away.
"Who did this? It was such a big fight right from the start?"
At this time, many people had already left their rooms and were lurking in the dark, waiting to make a move, but they were stunned by this direct attack.
Don’t all Gu fights begin with an assassination? Silently, lives disappear one by one. This is the Gu fight of the Five Poison Society.
Are you fighting openly from the beginning?
At this moment, someone could be heard shouting in the darkness: "One guest has died! There are eight people left!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw a dark shadow passing through the window, wearing a dark cloak, blowing past everyone's eyes like wind, and then disappeared into the night.
The cry of night owls was heard in the air, and every sound smelled like death.
"What the hell, old thief, who kills people and reports them?"
There was a voice cursing in the darkness, but I didn't know which poisonous insect was making the sound.
Although the sudden fire, strangers reporting their numbers, and the oppression of the courtyard itself made everyone extremely nervous, as if their bows were fully drawn, and they even had the urge to rush out and kill, but they came here to dominate. The outstanding people were all mentally prepared, but in the end they were not incited, and some people lurked deeper.
"Do you see clearly?" someone asked in the darkness.
"Well, it's southeast."
"In the southeast, one person died, so they didn't kill them all. There should be at least one person left. The battle situation there is two against one. There is an opportunity to take advantage."
"There's a fire over there. Are you going to expose yourself to the firelight?"
"So don't get close. We will wait on their way back and kill the survivors."
"fire……"
"We know there's a fire, and we can't get close to the fire..."
"The fire is coming!"
"What?"
The man turned around suddenly and saw a flash of fire approaching like a ghost.
The firelight illuminated Bei Gongqi's face.
