"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"
The watchman carries the gong, and every few steps he takes, he beats the gong and shouts a chant that remains unchanged for a century.
Gu Ning'an and his party were standing in a remote alley. When they heard the "call" of the watchman, Li Xunshan lowered his voice and said, "It should be almost the fourth watch..."
On the side, the old beggar dug around in the corner of the dark alley and found a homing pigeon under a basket.
After smearing a small amount of black mud on the pigeon's right leg, the old beggar raised his hands and released the pigeon.
"Wait a moment, Guard Qian will be here soon." As he said that, the old beggar sat down against the wall. With his deep eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking.
After about a stick of incense, a figure in black appeared on the high wall on one side of the alley.
This person has never been masked, his facial features are slightly sunken, and his figure is powerful. At first glance, he is a practicing martial artist.
"Lord Wen!" The man in black climbed over the wall, came to the old beggar, and knelt heavily in front of him: "Lord Wen, you are back!"
Wenfu Yin supported the man in black and stood up while responding: "Guard Qian, get up quickly."
The man in black knelt down and choked with sobs: "Master Wen, my humble duty to protect my wife and young master is incompetent, please punish me!"
Hearing this, Wenfu Yin trembled and patted Guard Qian on the shoulder: "It's not easy for you to be alone in the enemy camp. How can I blame you for this?"
"Sir, do you know everything?" Qian Weiwei asked in surprise.
The old beggar nodded: "I know a little bit. I have nothing else to do with calling you here this time... I just want to ask you the truth behind the death of my wife and children."
Hearing this, Qian Weiwei was silent for a moment and whispered: "Madam and young master were beaten to death by that thief with a whip..."
Gala!
The old beggar clenched his fists, and his bones made a crisp sound: "I understand...just go ahead."
"Go? Where?" Qian Weiwei frowned: "Isn't it that your Lord is back now to provide evidence and kill all those thieves?"
The old beggar said "Hi" and continued: "Yes, but I plan to do these myself... After you find a way to escape, leave Jiangling Mansion and live in Ansheng."
"No!" Qian Weiwei stood up suddenly and said with a firm face: "I swear to eradicate those thieves from my humble position. Please don't drive me away, Lord Wen."
"Furthermore, as you are old, it is inconvenient to do such things. You still need help from others!"
The old beggar pointed at the people behind him and said calmly: "There are already three people who are not afraid of death and insist on joining me. That's enough... You must have suffered a lot from Sun Hong these years." If you are miserable, don’t get involved in this matter.”
"Sir!" Guard Qian glanced at Gu Ning'an and the others, frowned and said, "Although I don't dare to say that I have great martial arts in my humble position, this is still better than them..."
Wei Hai rolled his eyes: "Hey, hey, tell me clearly, kid, what's wrong with me?"
"Look at this kid. He's a laborer. His arms are no thinner than yours."
"Look at our Mr. Gu... he may be a little bit hands-on, but his mind is definitely extremely flexible... How can the three of us be inferior to you?"
Hearing this, Guard Qian bowed his hands and said, "Brother, I didn't mean that... It's just that one more person means more power, right?"
"It's done, I've made up my mind, you can leave quickly." The old beggar waved his hand and turned towards the entrance of the alley.
Seeing this situation, Gu Ning'an and others were about to leave, but before they could turn around, the Qian guard shouted: "Sir, be careful!"
Before he could finish his words, bursts of sound broke through the air!
Under the moonlight, a cold light suddenly appeared, and three streams of light quickly attacked everyone!
Qian Weiwei took three steps and two steps at a time, hugged the old beggar, and tried to use his body to help him resist the hidden arrows.
On the side, Li Xunshan and Wei Hai looked at the stream of light coming straight towards the front door, and had no time to react. The former raised his knife to block it, but the latter froze on the spot, dumbly watching the crossbow arrows coming straight towards the front door. The closer.
Three hidden arrows struck and killed the old beggar, Li Xunshan and Wei Hai, but Gu Ningan was killed.
Gu Ning'an raised his left hand and pushed Li Xunshan. There was a "ding" sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the hidden arrow was blocked by Li Xunshan's raised short blade and bounced to the root of the wall.
On the side, Wei Hai caught all this with his peripheral vision. Just when he was about to shout, "My life is at stake," the hidden arrow turned a corner in front of him, grazed his shoulder and hit the ground...
"Can arrows turn?" Wei Hai looked back at the arrow that was half-submerged into the ground. He pulled Gu Ning'an beside him in disbelief and said, "Mr. Gu, do you think good people are rewarded?"
Gu Ning'an responded: "Not necessarily."
Wei Hai pointed at the arrow, swallowed his saliva and said, "The arrow just turned a corner in front of my door!"
Gu Ningan said "Oh" and then smiled: "Does that mean you are a good person?"
Wei Hai touched the area between his eyebrows that was almost shot through and said, "It must be!"
On the other side, the old beggar said hurriedly: "Guard Qian, Guard Qian, are you okay?"
"There is an assassin! Let's go, sir!" Qian Weiwei pushed the old beggar, with a slightly painful expression on his face. There was an arrow piercing through his shoulder, and red blood gurgled from the wound.
Clang!
Guard Qian pulled out the long knife from his waist and shouted sternly at the shadow behind him: "You hiding rat, come out!"
On top of the high wall, three black figures stood quietly. One of them sneered: "Guardian Qian, my lord has long suspected that you have second thoughts... Looking at it today, it is enough to prove that my words are true."
"If you repent now, for the sake of our colleagues, we will leave your whole body intact!"
"Bah!" Guard Qian spat and said sternly: "You rats, are you worthy of taking action against me?"
"Hmph!" The man in black snorted coldly: "Kill them!"
In an instant, four people in night clothes were fighting together, with swords and swords flashing continuously!
If it weren't for the arrow stuck in Qian Guard's arrow, it would have been difficult for the old beggar to tell who was who among the four.
"What should we do? Go up and help?" Li Xunshan frowned.
Wei Hai paused and said, "How can we help? They've all shot out afterimages. I'm afraid it won't be helpful if we go up there!"
The old beggar frowned, knowing that he couldn't help, but he didn't want to leave.
The fight between the four of them was extremely fierce in the eyes of Beggars and others...but in Gu Ning'an's eyes, it was more like "a good show".
The movements are fancy and the speed is very fast, but they are "feeding moves" towards other people's swords... This money guard is a bit "interesting".
Gu Ning'an waved and said: "Since you can't intervene, let's go... We can't let the money guard sacrifice in vain, can we?"
Not far away, Guard Qian seemed to have heard Gu Ning'an's words, and immediately answered in a loud voice: "Master Wen, please leave quickly and leave me alone!"
"Let's go!" The old beggar gritted his teeth and ran towards the alley without looking back. Gu Ning'an and his party also followed closely...
