The moon and stars are scarce, the night wind is cold, and the leaves of the autumn trees on the street are already golden.
At the second-floor window of Ruyi Inn, Jin Jiuling, dressed in black, landed lightly on the ground and headed towards the port on the Yangcheng River.
Last night, Jin Jiuling was defeated by Gong Jiuling in just ten moves. And he was very sure in his heart that if Gong Jiu came to kill him, he might not be able to sustain the opponent's tenth move.
After he was defeated, a beautiful, slender, cat-like woman suddenly appeared and told him the relevant rules of the organization.
The Invisible Man Organization is in the killing business.
Killing, the second oldest profession in the world, requires great skill, as well as extremely precise planning, great wisdom and patience.
If the level is not good enough, not only will the action fail and die, but other people in the organization will also be affected.
This requires someone to conduct an extremely dangerous test for the newly joined invisible killer.
Only in the critical situation of life and death can a person fully realize his potential and see whether he has a strange instinct like a beast.
Jin Jiuling also agrees with this statement. Ever since he was nineteen years old, he had felt that the robbers who were caught were stupid pigs who wanted to make a seamless crime.
The seamless crime, of course, also includes "murder".
If the methods of the Invisible Man Organization were really that brilliant, he would be very willing to join and learn from them.
Although Gong Jiu had already tried Jin Jiuling's martial arts, it could hardly be said that he had murderous intent. The real test is today, at an agreed-upon location in Yangcheng.
And he is not afraid of accepting the tests set by other members of the Invisible Man.
…
In the middle of the night, the number of ships still brightly lit was not many, but not too few either. Among them, there was only one boat whose light color matched the information Jin Jiuling had received.
It was the most conspicuous ship on the river, a very impressive ship, about six or seven feet away from the shore.
Jin Jiuling found an anchor at the dock, swung it hard, and threw it towards the ship. With a "hoo" sound, the anchor flew out across the air with the long rope connected to it, and nailed into the bow of the ship.
As soon as the connection was fastened, he jumped up, flew up and down to the ship's plank, and got into an open cabin.
After he entered the cabin, a black figure suddenly appeared on the shore. The black shadow jumped out quickly, without borrowing any force from the long rope. It only took one ups and downs to reach the ship.
Such outstanding physical skills are undoubtedly far beyond Jin Jiuling's sweeping ability, and can compete with Chu Liuxiang, who used to be the best young man in the world.
After a while, a young man followed and came to the edge of the pier. He sighed and stopped while looking at the long rope connected to the anchor.
For him, it is not a problem to use the force to pass Qizhang, but the moment he touches the long rope, it is very likely to alert Jin Jiuling and the masters hidden in the ship, thus ruining his plan to investigate.
…
In the cabin, the lights were very bright. Jin Jiuling took out a five-foot-long iron awl from his back and held it tightly in his hand.
He saw an imposing high-ranking official sitting behind a large table in the cabin. There were silence cards on both sides of him, and there were several wooden chess and card guards on each side.
This place was actually arranged into a government office, with ten wooden figures standing inside.
Jin Jiuling looked at the official again and saw that he was wearing a first-grade court dress from the Tang Dynasty, a white jade belt around his waist, and a purple gold crown on his head. He was pressing a gavel in his left hand, and holding a gold cup filled with wine in his right hand, and drank it in one gulp. All.
While Jin Jiuling was sizing him up, the official also happened to look at him. Suddenly he was stunned and said loudly: "Jin Jiuling, I came here just to interrogate you!"
Jin Jiuling's face changed slightly: "Who are you? What crime do you want to interrogate me for?"
The official said: "I am He Zhizhang, and I want to interrogate you for three major crimes."
Jin Jiuling was surprised and asked: "He Zhizhang, a madman from the Four Ming Dynasties? I wonder what three major crimes I have committed?"
He Zhizhang said: "You stabbed your friend blind and falsely accused him, which is the first serious crime; offending the Ninth Young Master yesterday is the second serious crime; carrying a weapon and breaking into the lobby of the Ministry of Justice is the third serious crime. Now you are punished for all three crimes. Do you accept the beating or the punishment?"
Upon hearing these three charges, Jin Jiuling suddenly laughed and asked, "Is this the lobby of the Criminal Department?"
As the former best arrester in the world, he had been to the lobby of the Criminal Department many times, and it was not a deterrent to him at all. Moreover, it is quite ridiculous that the person pretending to be He Zhizhang of the Tang Dynasty was obviously an official of the Ministry of Rites, but he came to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation.
Seeing the prisoner's playful face, He Zhizhang couldn't help but angrily yelled: "It's the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment! When you get here, why don't you plead guilty and be punished?"
Jin Jiuling asked again: "Is the Ninth Young Master here?"
He Zhizhang slapped the wall hard and said sternly: "Do you think I can't cure your sins if he's not here?"
"I am the chief arrester of the six gates. I should be the one to punish you!" Jin Jiuling breathed a sigh of relief. Gong Jiu was not in the cabin, so there wouldn't be much of a problem.
In any case, he would not believe that a master of Gong Jiu's level could be second in the invisible man organization.
Facing the test of He Zhizhang's attack, Jin Jiuling was fully confident and decided to try his best to show off his skills and scare the members of the invisible man organization except Gong Jiu in one fell swoop.
"The seven killers lying drunk and floating in the clouds, only those who drink can get the true story." He Zhizhang recited two sentences, suddenly slapped the table gum, and his whole body soared into the sky, his body movements were like ghosts, and he rushed towards Jin Jiuling.
And the moment he took action, the ten wooden figures suddenly shattered into pieces, and each of them had a nimble and agile hand, holding a short steel stick, and they all attacked together.
Jin Jiuling's body swayed, and the big iron awl in his hand swept out lightly, facing He Zhizhang's five slightly swollen fingers in mid-air.
In just a short moment, he had already judged that what He Zhizhang used with his right hand was the Seven Drunken Killers that had been lost in the world for seventy or eighty years, and his left hand used the Tantric Mahamudra Kung Fu.
Both are top-notch palm techniques in the martial arts world, and both have at least decades of profound skills.
There is no doubt that this middle-aged man who calls himself He Zhizhang is a hidden master!
But the power of the big iron cone in Jin Jiuling's hand is by no means inferior to the big hand seal and the Seven Killers!
A large iron awl weighing a full eighty-seven kilograms, if used with all its strength, would most likely smash people or objects in the cabin to pieces! Even a master whose martial arts is better than He Zhizhang's can't fight head-on with bare hands.
Sure enough, He Zhizhang's right hand was bent in a gesture like holding a cup, and he moved it lightly towards the side of the big iron awl, trying to deflect this astonishingly powerful blow like he was pushing away a drunkard.
However, his shot of the Seven Drunken Killers fell into the void.
A huge hole opened at some point on the top of the cabin, and a bright silver sword energy fell from the sky. It blocked He Zhizhang's powerful iron spine and forced him to retract the large hand seal he was about to shoot with his left hand. .
"It's really not interesting for you guys to interrogate me. It's better to let me convict and punish the evil embroidery thieves and the fake minister who misused his identity."
Zhao Qing slashed open the top of the cabin with one blow and floated down. His sharp eyes swept towards Jin Jiuling, He Zhizhang and the ten chess and card guards.
