After subduing Shen You, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai planned to transport him to a safe place and hide him.
They had at least two reasons to keep Shen Youran alive: first, Shen and Gu had planned this conspiracy for so many years, and there must be many secrets that have not been revealed yet to be discovered, so there is value in interrogation; second, , how to deal with him, it is best for the various martial arts people who were tricked by him today to publicly discuss and decide, rather than for Sun and Huang to deal with it privately - even if they really kill Shen Youran, there will be no one Just a few more words, but people's hearts are unpredictable. You can't guarantee that everyone is a gentleman. If someone later suspects that they asked Shen Youran for some valuable information and killed them, then there will be more details. .
Shuangxie had already prepared the way to transport Shen Youran. A small trolley for delivering rice and noodles was enough. They loaded Shen Youran, who had been poisoned and paralyzed, and set off.
The "safe place" is not too far from here, it is an ordinary residential house one kilometer away. The residents in that residential house have been sent away by now. There are three people in the house now: one is already Bai Ruhong has lost the ability to move, and the other two are Chunkong and Liu Yikong who are responsible for taking care of and protecting him.
Liu Shaoxia and Little Master Chunkong are both people who don't like to fight and kill. In fact, neither of them has ever killed anyone yet. Therefore, they did not follow the large team of two hundred people to encircle and suppress the Tianqi Gang. Choose to stay in this house to protect Taoist Bai.
In this early morning, except for the place where the fire broke out, the streets in other parts of the city were basically empty; let alone pushing cars, they could even do drag racing.
Therefore, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai jogged all the way, and it only took them six or seven minutes to push Shen Youran and Chunkong to meet up.
Although they also guessed that Sun and Huang would not be able to use any conventional means to subdue Shen Youran, when Liu Shaoxia and Little Master Chunkong saw Shen Youran's miserable appearance covered in lime powder and slumped on the trolley , and couldn't help but feel some sympathy for him.
After sending the people there, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai immediately left again, and naturally the place they wanted to go was the No Return Building.
Without him, Sun and Huang planned to kill some useful things in Si Hui's house and steal them secretly; and the remaining things that were particularly vicious and harmful to people, or things that couldn't be taken away at the same time, were just a matter of time. Burn the fire for him so that he will not be remembered by others in the future.
This matter cannot be delayed, and it is best to do it while those martial arts people are entangled with Gu Qiying.
Previously, Huang Donglai only told those people that he had found out the solution to the Bliss Gu, but he did not tell them that the "Lord" was the boss of Bugui Tower, nor did he tell them specifically where he found this method.
The reason he didn't say it was also very simple: if he told all this information, someone would probably start to think wrong on the spot, for example... while the large troops were detouring north and south, they would sneak away Go, then sneak into the No-Return Building, steal some things similar to the Bliss Gu from the Sihui Residence, and use them to harm others in the future.
How could Sun and Huang not think of such a possibility?
The basis of a plan is to judge everyone with a villain's heart; so basically, as long as they apply all the crooked ideas that they can come up with when encountering things on others, they can prevent them. Most of the tricks are done.
Of course, there are things they can't calculate after all...
Just when they were about to leave the residential building and return to the No Return Building, a masked man suddenly appeared in front of them.
This man was of medium build, wearing a black night suit, with a black cloth covering his face and head, except for his eyes. He didn't have a weapon in his hand, but he carried a baggage on his back. The baggage was bigger than a basketball, but it was limited. Being tied diagonally to the body does not affect movement much, and looking at the outline, it seems that there is a square box inside the baggage.
He came silently, like a ghost that suddenly appeared. As soon as you turned around, he was already standing there.
"Who is here?" Huang Donglai saw him and shouted this immediately. In fact, Huang Ge didn't want to get an answer, but wanted to remind Chunkong and Liu Yikong in the room that something happened outside.
"Ha..." The masked man didn't answer them at all. He just chuckled, then raised his palms and pushed forward.
The next second, Sun and Huang were both pushed into the air by the force of their palms. Their feet left the ground and hit the wall.
In fact, Shen Youran can also do this kind of long-range attack with internal power externally released, but with Shen Youran's internal power, no matter the maximum range, expansion range, and strength when the internal power is released externally... it is far from what is in front of him. The cultivation level of this masked man is comparable.
Fortunately, the masked man didn't take Sun Huang seriously at all, and just attacked at will with a mentality similar to chasing away flies, so the two of them were only temporarily beaten to the ground, and there were no internal injuries.
Chunkong and Liu Yikong, who rushed out of the house after hearing the sound, received similar treatment...
However, he saw Liu Yikong rushing towards him, trying to use his sword to defeat the enemy. Unexpectedly, as soon as the scimitar at his waist was half withdrawn from the sheath, the masked man jumped in front of Liu Yikong. From the side, he gently pressed his hand and pushed his knife back.
"Boy, Qinggong is not bad." The masked man's voice was very ordinary, and his tone when he said this was also very relaxed, "It's just that my sword skills are a bit lacking..."
call--
Before he finished speaking, Chun Kong's Prajna Palm came from another direction.
"Little Master...your palm is a bit too 'merciful'." The masked man was not in a hurry. While talking and laughing, he pushed Liu Yikong away with his left palm, and at the same time raised his right palm to contact Chunkong. A pair of palms.
So Chunkong also flew out...
In the blink of an eye, these four "young heroes" were beaten up and down by the masked man, and all of them were so violent that their blood was stagnant in their chests, and they were unable to stand up for a while.
"I'm in a good mood today and I won't kill people randomly." The masked man glanced at them and said, "Don't worry, I took what I wanted and left immediately."
After that, he entered the house.
But before the four people outside the house could get up from the ground, he had already come out.
Having achieved his goal, the masked man didn't linger too long, nor was he verbose. He didn't even glance at the young people, and just stepped down and escaped into the night sky.
That is indeed the style of a true master, coming silently and leaving without a trace.
After a while, Huang Donglai and the others finally got up and hurried into the house to check; with just one glance, they knew what the man had taken - Shen Youran's head.
At this time, blood was flowing all over the ground around Shen Youran's body, but there was no blood on the masked man when he left just now. I don't know how he did it.
At this moment, recall the outline of the masked man's backpack. There must be a box specially used to hold the head, which can prevent blood from seeping through the cloth.
Fortunately among misfortunes... Bai Ruhong, who was in the same room with Shen Youran, was fine. It seemed that the purpose of the masked man was just to kill Shen Youran. He was not interested in other people, and he took The act of walking away from someone is undoubtedly to pay favor to someone or an organization.
After all... in that era of limited information, there was nothing more tangible proof that someone was dead than his or her own head.
"Damn it, where did this monster come from? Fortunately, this guy didn't plan to kill us, otherwise I would have told you here." About five minutes later, Sun Yixie thought about it again. Son, I started to feel a little scared.
The world is dangerous after all. Even a master like Shen Youran, if he steps into an ambush unprepared in a desperate situation, he may be taken away in a wave, not to mention those who are just starting out and have martial arts skills. A junior who is still shallow?
If the masked man just now really wanted to kill them, it was just a matter of a thought and a move of his fingers.
Even if you have exhausted all your agencies and feel that you are running out of strategies, there is still no guarantee that you will encounter such an unexpected situation that has no intelligence basis, and at this time... you have to rely on hard power.
"Forget it, let's forget about this for now." Huang Donglai is much calmer than Sun Yixie. After all, Huangmen is also a martial arts family. Even though Huang Donglai has not traveled much in the world, he has seen and heard of masters since he was a child. There are many anecdotes about martial arts. People who have been exposed to them for more than ten years naturally know better than Sun Yixie how good they are in the martial arts world. "We should go to 'there' again as planned and see." Let’s see what’s going on over there.”
After he said this to Sun Yixie, he turned to the other two heroes and said: "Little Master Chunkong, Liu Shaoxia, it seems that we will no longer stay here. You and Taoist Bai will move to another place..."
As a result, the four of them agreed on a new location and then separated again.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai rushed to the Building of No Return again. However, when they got there, they were dumbfounded again...
This restaurant has been ordered.
"Oh, Brother Huang, what's going on?" Sun Yixie looked at the blazing fire and asked immediately.
"How do I know? I didn't set the fire." Huang Dong was telling the truth. Before that, he had only briefly looked through Gu Qiying's notes in Sihuizhong, and took the notes away, and nothing else. There is no belt, and there is no ignition.
"Did you not pay attention and trigger some self-destruct device before leaving?" Sun Yixie said.
"Damn it, do you think you're playing CS? Why did you leave after I planted a minefield?" Huang Donglai complained.
After saying this, Huang Donglai gathered his thoughts for a while, and then said: "I think... we should keep things simple. There may be other forces secretly involved in tonight's game, and they have given us a The mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole stalks behind... When we have finished plotting against Shen Youran and Gu Qiying, and the matter is almost done, they will come out again to 'rob heads' and plunder the fruits of victory."
"Hmm..." Upon hearing this, Sun Yixie felt that what he said made sense, and mused, "Well...it's okay to be robbed of our heads, but as long as they don't kill us along the way, it's a good thing."
At this moment, although neither of them said anything more, they actually had the same idea in their hearts - to gain a foothold in this world, one must have an organization and power, and rely solely on one's own strength to survive in this turbulent world. It is too easy to capsize in politics, and Bai Ruhong is a bloody negative example.
…………
Later that day, somewhere outside the city.
The firelight illuminated a man's face.
He is about fifty years old, with a medium build, and his face looks like a pumpkin, a bit chubby. This face shape also causes his eyebrows and eyes to be very flat and long, and his nose is wide and his mouth is big.
He was wearing night clothes, but the black cloth covering his face had been taken off at this time.
There was a bundle at his feet.
He seemed to be waiting for someone.
The person he was waiting for didn't keep him waiting too long.
He was a tall and strong man, with a strong back and strong eyes, and a single sword on his waist. Many people in Luoyang knew this man, he was "Lao Wu", the coachman of the Lord of Justice Sect.
But in fact, his surname is not Wu, it was just the surname he changed when he joined the Zhengyi Sect more than ten years ago.
His real name, surnamed Mu, is Mu Liyan. Before coming to the Gate of Justice, his identity was a craftsman of the Five Spirits Sect.
Now he is too...
"Mu Liyan, I have met the flag master!" Mu Liyan came to the man in black, knelt down on one knee, and bowed.
The man in black, the masked man who had taken away Shen Youran's head under the noses of Huang Donglai and the others, was undoubtedly a master of the Five Spirit Sect.
His name is Tang Fu, and he is one of the "Five Flag Masters" of the Wuling Sect. He leads the "White Tiger Banner" and his status in the sect is second only to the deputy leader.
Based on his position, you should have understood that Tang Fu is best at the "White Tiger Palm" among the five divine protection skills. In terms of fist and palm skills alone, he can be said to be one of the best in today's world.
"No need to be polite." Tang Fu waved his hand casually, signaling Mu Liyan to stand up, and asked directly, "How are you doing with your affairs?"
Mu Liyan stood up, clasped his fists and handed over his hands: "For the flag master, when my subordinates led people to sneak into Sihui Residence, there was no guard there, and You Jing had been dead inside for a long time. Then we searched every corner there, uh ... During this period, two brothers unfortunately died of poisoning... But we didn't find anything recording Gu Qi's shadow Gu technique. Thinking about it... either he didn't leave any paper records at all, or..."
"Or has it been taken away by others?" Tang Fu took over the other person's unfinished words with a slightly unhappy tone.
"I'm going to investigate right now!" Mu Liyan immediately and consciously said how he planned to solve this problem next.
"Forget it, it's already too late." Tang Fu said, "And I also guessed who might have taken it...you don't have to worry about it."
Tang Fu was really regretful.
Because of the existence of Mu Liyan, an undercover agent, the Five Spirit Sect had actually known for a long time that Shen and Gu were planning to implement their "big plan" at the Young Heroes Association. Therefore, Tang Fu was sent half a month ago. When I came to Luoyang, I was responsible for commanding the personnel of the Five Spirit Sect lurking in Luoyang during this period, mainly... to deal with some unexpected situations.
Originally, apart from surveillance, these people from the Five Spirit Sect had no intention of getting involved in this matter. Whether those who were in the right way of martial arts were threatened or tortured to death by the Tianqi Gang... it was also a good thing for them.
However, the "emergency situation" just came.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai's disturbance made Tang Fu smell the possibility that Gu Qiying and Shen Youran's plan would collapse tonight; so, just as the cloud-penetrating arrow took off, Tang Fu thought hastily. Decided... to let Mu Liyan take people to the No Return Building to search for Gu Qiying's research results and take whatever they can, while he himself chased the cloud-piercing arrow.
At that time, he didn't know that Huang Donglai had taken away Gu Qiying's Gu refining notes.
Later, he saw Shen Youran being defeated and subdued in the dark, and after following Sun and Huang all the way to the house, what he was thinking about was the order given by the current leader before he left - "If my brother can really succeed, , that's all, but if he can't succeed, or even be captured alive, and fall into the hands of those righteous people, then I hope the Tang Banner Master will take action, don't let him continue to embarrass my Yi family outside... Oh, by the way , if you really get to that point, remember to bring his head back, after all, it is the flesh and blood of your father, no matter how useless you are, you still have to leave a place for him in the ancestral hall."
Thinking of this, Tang Fu took action.
If Tang Fu had been more careful and thought more at that time, it would not have been impossible to guess that Huang Donglai might have taken Gu Qiying's notes. Unfortunately... there are only a few smart people in this world after all. Tang Fu obviously Not really, so he didn't think of it until now when he listened to Mu Liyan's report.
But now, as Tang Fu said, it was "too late"; his action of showing up to take the head had already alerted the other party to the fact that there was a third party like them in the city (he didn't know yet that there was a fourth party like Jinyiwei). ) forces, do you still expect others to give you another cloud-piercing arrow at this moment?
To take a step back...if it were to come, would you dare to go?
The man surnamed Tang saw with his own eyes how Shen Youran was "fixed". Although he was confident that with his internal strength which was much higher than that of Shen Youran, lime powder and other things could be solved by using internal force externally. Yes, but if there were other more damaging moves, he didn't dare to say that he would be able to escape unscathed.
"This subordinate is incompetent." After a breath, even though his superior had already said "forget it", Mu Liyan knelt down again, cupped his fists and said, "Please beg the flag master to punish me..."
"Okay..." Tang Fu can't be said to be a good person, but he is not evil either. At least he is not the kind of person who will dump all his emotions or omissions on his subordinates, "I don't blame you for this. , the main responsibility lies with me, because I didn't think carefully enough." He paused, "These years... you have worked hard, and from today on, you no longer have to play the role of a coachman; you take this baggage back to the main altar, Return to the leader and receive the reward... There will be brothers to support you along the way."
"Thank you, Flag Master!" Mu Liyan looked a little excited.
This kind of excitement can only be understood by those who have been undercover for many years and are finally freed.
So at this moment, instead of standing up, Mu Liyan simply changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees, and kowtowed to Tang Fu by the way.
When he raised his head, two lines of hot tears were already flowing down the face of this tall and thick man.
Tang Fu didn't look at him, but got up and walked away.
There was nothing interesting about this, and Tang Fu didn't think that a man who was crying wanted to be stared at.
Before walking away, Tang Fu left one last message: "By the way, please send a message to the leader, saying that Tang Fu still has some things to deal with. I'm afraid he will have to stay out for a few more days. Please don't worry, leader."
