Except for Shao Xi, Lao Wu never thought of accepting another apprentice in his life. Now seeing Long Chitai kneeling on the ground, he hurriedly helped him up.
"Master Long, this old man's ability is all left to my young master. If you want to learn the art of disguise, I can give you some pointers. Forget it about becoming a disciple!"
Shao Xi was also confused at this time. Although Long Qitai didn't look heroic, he was still a man with a strong martial temperament. Now he actually knelt down to Old Wu just to learn the art of disguise. This man It seems hard to tell what I prefer.
Long Chitai said to Old Wu sincerely: "As long as Senior Wu is willing to give me some advice, then you are my master. As long as Senior is willing to teach me the art of disguise, I am willing to take Senior Wu as my teacher from today on." , Brother Shao will be my senior brother from now on, and I hope that the senior will help the younger generation."
Lao Wu was also wondering at this moment, what happened in the past two days? My young master suddenly proposed to learn the art of disguise from me. How come the person who was investigating the case with the young master was also interested in this? Did you all take the wrong medicine?
In fact, the reasons why Shao Xi and Long Chitai want to learn the art of disguise are completely different. Shao Xi purely wanted to have one more skill in his body so that he could use it wherever he went in the future, but Long Chitai was truly impressed by Lao Wu's ability to disguise himself. In his eyes, being able to transform one person into another is tantamount to knowing how to cast a spell.
Lao Wu shook his head helplessly and said: "I only promise to give you a few pointers, but I will not accept you as a disciple. What you think of me is not important to me, no matter what you learn in the future No matter what, when you are walking in the world, you must not tell outsiders that you are my apprentice. I have only one apprentice in my life, and that is my young master."
Although Long Chitai was a little disappointed, at least Old Wu agreed to give him guidance. He just didn't want to be regarded as a master and disciple, so he didn't force it.
"The juniors will listen to the seniors. As long as the seniors are willing to teach me, I will agree to anything."
Shao Xi asked curiously: "Brother Long, why do you have to learn this disguise technique? It is said that this thing is like embroidery. How can you, the director of Dali Temple who hunts thieves and murderers every day, be interested in this matter?"
Long Qitai sighed and replied: "Brother, you may not know that many of my brothers in Dali Temple are working as spies outside. In the past two years, in order to capture some criminal thieves or extremely vicious bandits, many of them have My face was recognized and I lost my life in vain. I thought that if I learned the art of disguise, I could at least save the lives of my brothers and reduce the number of orphans and widows in Daliang City."
After hearing what Long Chitai said, Shao Xi and Lao Wu couldn't help but feel moved. It turned out that he was so eager to learn the art of disguise for the sake of his brothers.
Old Wu patted Long Qitai's shoulder and said: "I see, although you and I don't have the title of master and disciple, I will teach you the art of disguise, which can be regarded as protecting these things for you." A peaceful man did something.”
Long Qitai quickly bowed and raised his hands and said respectfully: "I would like to thank my seniors for those brothers who are risking their lives outside!"
Old Wu waved his hand, "No need to thank me, you are all for the safety of the people of this area, and this is my duty."
Shao Xi picked up the bronze mirror on the table and looked at himself again and again after his disguise. He couldn't help muttering, "It's a pity that I look so handsome. Old Wu made me look like a monkey." .”
Old Wu slapped Shao Xi on the back of the head, blew his beard and said with a glare: "Don't slander my craftsmanship, old man. You can't blame me for being ugly. Go find the one lying in the studio with your complaint."
Shao Xi knew that he was speechless, but he did not dare to refute. He just said to Long Qitai: "Brother Long, have the carriage been arranged? From now on, I will be the envoy of Baiye Kingdom. You need to find someone to carry me on the carriage and send me back to the post house. Once I enter the post house, I will not Once you get out of the room, the rest will be left to you."
"Don't worry, brother! I have arranged everything you told me."
"Okay! Let me give you one last instruction. The post house must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Don't let Wu Riyet see any flaws."
"Understood, let's set off now!"
After that, under Long Qitai's arrangement, the patrolmen from Dali Temple passed by Shao Xi, who was disguised as an envoy. He was carried on a stretcher to the carriage and headed to the post house where the envoy had stayed.
Because the plan was very thorough before, both the shopkeeper and waiter of Junxiao Tower, as well as the members and attendants of the mission in the post house, are now very cooperative and tight-lipped. At this time, Shao Xi, who looked like an envoy, was sent to the post house, and he acted cooperatively, because no one knew whether Wuriyeti was nearby and secretly observing them.
Dali Temple used hidden stakes throughout the city to investigate Wu Riyeti's whereabouts, and only confirmed that he had not left Daliang City. However, the specific whereabouts and whereabouts were not obtained. This shows that this person should have good physical skills, and more Maybe he also knows how to disguise himself.
No one knew whether this person had already infiltrated the post house at this moment, so they simply put on a show and everyone, including Shao Xi himself, regarded him as the real envoy of the White Night Kingdom.
Many of the Dali Temple patrol officers disguised themselves as couriers from various places, passing merchants, and some even simply blended in with other missions and disguised themselves as followers. Many of the passers-by, traffickers and lackeys outside the post were dressed as police officers from Dali Temple, and the entire post was airtight.
Shao Xi lay on the bed in the room and said to Long Qitai and Lao Wu: "You two are hiding outside the post house and tell your brothers not to rush into action if you find this person coming, so as not to scare the snake away. If you kill him, let him in first, and then you can start closing the net outside after I take action."
"Understood. Now just wait until it gets dark. I guess this guy won't come too early."
After everything was arranged, Long Qitai and Lao Wu left the room.
Shao Xi was lying on the bed alone, thinking that there was nothing to do at this time anyway, so he might as well take a nap first to avoid losing energy at night. Who knew that he would sleep until Haishi?
The waiting in the darkness was long. Just when he entered the early days of Zichu, Shao Xi heard a slight sound from the tiles on the roof.
"Yo! Here we come!"
Shao Xi was thinking secretly in his heart, but he was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed and motionless.
He knew that the guy might be observing the situation inside the house through the gaps in the tiles on the roof. Although it was dark inside and outside the house at this time, some people who practiced martial arts had extraordinary eyesight and could observe things at night as if they were in daylight. .
After a while, Shao Xi heard the sound of the roof moving gently towards the eaves, followed by the sound of wind caused by someone's robe when they jumped from the roof and the slight sound of landing.
Shao Xi squinted his eyes and looked towards the window, only to see a figure quietly approaching the window, using a knife to gently open the window bolt, then pushing the window open with an extremely slight movement, turning over and jumping in In the house, the body movements are light and flexible.
Until now, Shao Xi was still lying motionless on the bed. He was not in a hurry and would only react when the other party made a move.
The figure jumped into the room and did not immediately walk to the bed. Instead, he bent down and looked around, then seemed to turn his head and prick up his ears to listen carefully to the surrounding sounds. After confirming that no one was around, he raised his legs and took small steps towards the bed.
Arriving in front of the bed, the man leaned over and carefully observed the person lying on the bed in front of him, as if to confirm his identity.
Suddenly, the man raised the short knife he held behind his back and stabbed Shao Xi in the chest.
Although Shao Xi closed his eyes, he could hear all of this person's actions with his ears. When Shao Xi heard the wind blowing from the sleeves of this man's robe when he raised the knife, he knew that the other party was taking action.
Just when the tip of the knife was about to pierce Shao Xi's chest, it suddenly stopped, and the man was also stunned for a moment. But Shao Xi opened his eyes, looked at the wrist in his hand, and smiled at the person in front of him.
"Your Excellency is so arrogant. Shouldn't you apologize for keeping me waiting for so long?"
This person was obviously shocked when he heard Shao Xi speak. He probably discovered that the person he wanted to assassinate was not an envoy from the White Night Kingdom, but someone else dressed up in disguise.
Just as he was about to free his wrist from Shao Xi's hand, Shao Xi used his hand to bring the man to the other side of the bed. At the same time, he raised his knees and pushed his abdomen, pulling his whole body out of the bed. The head of the bed was lifted directly to the end of the bed, and it hit the wooden cabinet hard, causing the vase and ornaments to clink to the floor.
This fall obviously caused some pain to the person, and he made a "chuck" sound.
Shao Xi jumped up from the bed and rushed towards this person.
This person was also quite slippery. When he saw Shao Xi rushing towards him, he rolled over on the spot, kicked his feet on the ground, rolled out through the window when he came in, and then jumped directly onto the roof, lifting The legs will run away.
Although his set of movements was quite coherent and completed in one go, he never imagined that Shao Xi would be the last to arrive.
After jumping to the roof, he ran forward two steps, only to find a person standing in front of him. It was none other than Shao Xi who was lying on the bed just now, which made him stunned for a moment.
Facing an unfamiliar opponent, Shao Xi may not dare to talk about other aspects, but when it comes to body skills, he is still quite confident.
The Wuming Shenfa, Dengyun Shenfa and the "Flower Dance" he has learned from Bai Jinqing these days are all top-notch body skills that are rare in the world. If you want to escape from him, most people may not be able to escape from him. It's very difficult to do.
Shao Xi hugged his shoulders, looked at the person opposite with a smile, and said teasingly: "What? You don't even talk to your old friends when you see them, are you leaving in such a hurry? I'm not a ghost, are you afraid? What?"
As soon as Wuriyeti heard Shao Xi's words, he knew that the other party had figured out his identity, so he no longer hid it and planned to give it a try.
With a wave of his wide robe sleeves, five flying knives were instantly thrown out from the sleeves. They flew up, down, left, and right at the same time towards Shao Xi, sealing all the places where Shao Xi could dodge.
"Oh, what a waste!"
While talking, Shao Xi took out the folding fan from his waist and unfolded it with a "swipe" sound.
