"Did she hear it?"
"Didn't she hear?"
"..."
A young man led a horse and walked in the alley, holding in his hand a wild flower picked up from nowhere. The petals withered one by one in response to the young man's voice. They bloomed in the cold winter, but they could not escape the young man's poisonous hand.
"She must have heard it, otherwise why would she let me call her Tong'er?" Yu Zhi smiled contentedly.
The young man's love has long been moved, and now the young girl is also being teased and bumped wildly. This is obviously a step closer to the relationship.
Yu Zhi had to go back to Wenwen Academy tonight. If he was caught sneaking out like this, he would definitely be scolded.
A scholar came out from the opposite side of the alley. Because he was in a good mood, Yu Zhi led his horse out of the way and waited for the scholar to leave first.
The scholar smiled, nodded to Yu Zhi, and then started to go ahead. When he reached Yu Zhi, the scholar stopped and said, "Are you Yu Zhi?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp light flashed in the dark sleeves. Yu knew something was wrong. He slapped the horse's head with the palm of his right hand, and the horse's head hit the scholar directly.
A roar of horses neighed over the sound of countless fireworks.
Yu Zhi took this opportunity and ran towards the depths of the alley. This direction was far away from Li Wantong's yard, and Yu Zhi didn't want to bring any surprises to Li Wantong. The sound of rapid footsteps was like those quiet firecrackers appearing in the streets.
These killer assassins will never miss such a good opportunity.
Yu Zhi's figure stepped into the darkness, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the scholar who was still standing there, with a ruthless look in his eyes.
Ning Huan followed Yu Zhi for a long time, and waited for Yu Zhi for a long time. It wasn't until after the fireworks ended that the target appeared in his sight.
The freedom of ten taels of silver is both cheap and expensive.
"You'd better not run away." Ning Huan didn't like torture like other killers, or enjoy the process of chasing. He likes simple things, killing people and getting paid.
If he could kill with one blow, he would never use a second blow.
Ning Huan followed Yu Zhi closely, and the dagger in her hand kept appearing from the cuff of her sleeve. There were flashes of cold light accompanied by many bursting sounds.
Yu Zhi ran very fast, and every dagger fell on Yu Zhi's shadow, and each dagger was embedded in the bricks next to the alley. And every dagger will pass by Yu Zhi.
Under Li Haomiao's training, Yu Zhi's reaction speed has far surpassed that of ordinary armor-breaking level four. Since he could catch Li Haomiao's pebbles, he could also dodge Ning Huan's knife.
At a certain moment, Yu Zhi felt that Ning Huan's dagger was too slow. If he wants to take them, he can take them one by one.
Yu Zhi still ran quickly, leaving behind the horse and the half-plucked wild flowers.
One is flying in the alley, and the other is flying on the rooftop.
Fortunately, these are all abandoned houses, and no one lives here. The true energy in Yu Zhi's body surged, and every step he took was extremely strong. Uh-huh. Yu Zhi grabbed a flying dagger. He didn't know how many daggers were hidden in Ning Huan's sleeves, but he couldn't keep fighting like this.
Yu Zhi pushed his feet hard, and a mud puddle appeared on the ground, and then Yu Zhi climbed over the wall. Behind the wall is a dangerous building. The so-called dangerous building is a tall building that is about to collapse at any time. However, Yu didn't know this, so when he saw that there was no one inside, he rushed inside.
"Who sent you from?" Yu Zhi asked the scholar standing on the wall. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart. They were all dressed up as scholars, probably the same group of middle-aged scholars who were in front of the wonton stall that day.
Ning Huan dropped another dagger from his sleeve, which was particularly sharp against the cold light of the cold moon.
"I'll tell you before you die."
Against the moonlight, Yu Zhi couldn't clearly see the expression on the other person's face. The dagger in his hand also turned slightly, and then his arm also turned. This is the first time Yu Zhi has used a dagger. To be honest, it is not a handy weapon.
This place is already several streets away from Li Wantong, so no matter how loud the noise is, it will not disturb them. And Yu Zhi can also fight head-on.
In the end, if someone is chasing you, you have to resist once. Dogs will jump over walls when they are anxious, and rabbits will bite when they are anxious.
Yu Zhi thought about it and felt that this metaphor was not that good.
Ning Huan jumped up high and flew towards Yu Zhi like an eagle grazing the ground. Behind the dark figure, the bright moon's light suddenly shot straight into Yu Zhi's eyes.
Close your eyes. Avoid.
Yu Zhi didn't care where he was hiding, as long as he left his original position, he could avoid the opponent's bombardment. With a roll, Yu Zhi hit a pillar on the side, causing him a burst of pain.
This is a killer who takes advantage of the environment.
That's what Yu Zhi thought after opening his eyes. The moonlight behind the opponent's figure just now was extremely deadly. The opponent's dagger had already reached Yu Zhi's throat when Yu Zhi was stunned. Fortunately, Yu Zhi immediately closed his eyes and hid aside regardless.
"Damn it."
Yu Zhi suffered a disadvantage because he had too little experience in actual combat. In the past, whenever I saw a fight, I would stay far away, let alone find someone to fight with. Li Haomiao's training methods seemed fierce, but in fact they were monotonous and not a single pebble would hurt Yu Zhi. The few days of training did not involve any changes, but only allowed Yu Zhi to improve his reaction speed.
Of course, this is not without its benefits. For example, Yu Zhi took Ning Huan's dagger in his hand.
Ning Huan didn't wait for Yu Zhi to take a breath and rushed towards Yu Zhi. Three daggers flew out of the cuffs and struck Yu Zhimian's door and chest in the shape of a "pin". The speed was not fast, and Yu Zhi was able to dodge, but what was difficult to deal with was Ning Huan, who was following closely behind the three daggers.
Yu Zhi jumped up high, his body hanging in the air about three meters high. With a bang, the three daggers were nailed deeply to the broken pillar behind Yu Zhi. Yu Zhi, who was stagnant in mid-air, was unable to move for a moment. Ning Huan showed a ruthless look in his eyes. He kicked the ground with his left and right feet one after another, crushing the dusty tiles on the ground. The sharp edge of the dagger pointed at Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi was helpless. He could feel that Ning Huan's strength was not that strong, at least the few archers he couldn't detect were much weaker. It's a pity that Ning Huan is a killer after all, and he has a lot of experience accumulated in his hands. Yu Zhi is a novice after all, and he will definitely have to pay some tuition fees with wounds and blood on his way to growth.
The next moment, Ning Huan's dagger pierced Yu Zhi's arm, spilling some blood in the moonlight that fell through the broken tiles. Bright red blood drops splashed on the ground, and red flowers bloomed on the clothes, cuffs and other places of the two men.
Yu Zhi looked ferocious, and there was a cold touch on his arm, as if a piece of ice had penetrated his body.
boom.
The two fell to the ground, with Yu Zhi at the bottom and Ning Huan at the top. The raised dust filled the whole room.
Ning Huan held the dagger in both hands and pressed hard on Yu Zhi's arm. The dagger had already gone in one-third of the way, and if it went in a little further, it would be able to pierce Yu Zhi's arm. Naturally, Yu Zhi would not let Ning Huan succeed so easily. He kicked Ning Huan's butt with his knee. Taking advantage of a breath, he stood up and ran upstairs.
Yu Zhi didn't expect to actually stop fighting the killer, but after only two moves, he was stabbed. The arm was not a vital part, but Yu Zhi's right hand holding the dagger was already a little numb.
Having lost the combat power of one arm, Yu Zhi had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield.
Ning Huan smashed the table that was already rotten wood. He looked at Yu Zhi's fleeing back and patted the dust on his body. He had never known before that there were some killers who were always slowly pursuing their target. No matter how strong or weak the target was, they would always have to struggle with them before killing them. Often, there would be a bit of regret after killing the person.
Now, Ning Huan seemed to understand a little bit of what it felt like - the feeling of a hunter chasing his prey.
Ning Huan bit the dagger still stained with blood in his mouth, took off the white academic cap on his head with both hands, flicked away the dust, and then put the cap back on his head. There was interest in his eyes. It was the last hunt before freedom, so I might as well have some fun.
The bright moon hangs in the sky in the west. After the fireworks have dispersed, people in the world hug their children and fall asleep leaning against the heater.
Li Wantong might not be able to fall asleep, after all, her heart was beating too hard, and the blush on her face didn't dissipate for a long time. "Tong'er", this is such an affectionate name, even Li Xiuyuan has never called her like this.
Li Wantong thought about the plots in those novels, that people in trouble would always meet the person who saves them in life, and Li Wantong tonight decided that Yu Zhi was the person in her life.
What Li Wantong doesn't know is that there will still be a long and endless road between boys and girls in the days to come.
There is another person who can't sleep like Li Wantong - Lao Huang.
Since Yu Zhi left the yard, although the noisy noise in the streets and alleys was covered up by the explosion of fireworks, none of this escaped the eyes of Lao Huang... No, Fa'er.
Lao Huang is a master, a master who hides his secrets.
This is something Li Wantong and Yatou, two women with no cultivation, cannot see.
Because of Lao Huang, the three of them can live in a wilderness full of wild animals, peacefully and undisturbed.
Perhaps Li Wantong always thought that this was a secluded place that Li Xiuyuan found for her, and it had already been swept away. In fact, the only one who secretly protects the two women is Lao Huang.
Just like Li Wantong and Yatou didn't notice Lao Huang leaving the yard, Yu Zhi and Ning Huan, who were playing cat and mouse in the dangerous building, didn't notice the short old man climbing the wall and quietly observing everything.
"This kid does have some conscience." Old Huang murmured. It is not difficult to see Yu Zhi's intention of escaping all the way. Lao Huang, who was following secretly, knew it very well. Then Lao Huang said to himself again: "This kid doesn't seem to be good at fighting?"
Indeed, Yu Zhi's reflexes had been trained to the extreme by Li Haomiao, and he was still trained to be chased by men in black. These two undoubtedly benefited Yu Zhi a lot.
It seems that Yu Zhi's strengths are only hiding and escaping, but in Lao Huang's opinion, he knows nothing about defensive counterattacks.
