In the county town, there is an inconspicuous house.
The door was closed, and it seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.
When thieves enter the city, people are in panic and there is deathly silence all around. There weren't many residents in the neighborhood, and it seemed extremely deserted at this time.
However, a black shadow silently fell from the roof and jumped into the courtyard.
Throw out a heavy baggage.
The people in the courtyard stretched out their hands to take it.
"You barbarians actually keep your word. It seems you know the difference between a full meal and a full meal."
The person who spoke was none other than Xu Baihu, who escaped from the battlefield during the day!
At this time, his chest had been simply bandaged, but there was still a faint trace of blood.
"It's just that you were too cruel. If I hadn't been protected by armor, if this knife had been a few inches deeper, I would have been silenced by you."
Xu Baihu's words were all spoken in ancient Dongyi dialect. Although they were lame, the other party could still understand them.
But when he opened the bag and took a look, his face instantly turned a bit ugly: "Why so little? Didn't we agree that on the day the city is destroyed, all the looted property will be divided equally?
"Don't tell me you just plundered this little property!"
The shadow attendant in black said: "The general said, take a rest tonight and start searching again early tomorrow morning.
"Don't worry, the gold and silver treasures will be yours when the time comes, and those who threaten you will also help you clean up."
Xu Baihu reluctantly snorted: "For the sake of keeping your promise, let me remind you again. Gao Ze is not dead, and if nothing unexpected happens, Xiang Yong will be summoned to besiege you again tonight. .
"Kill Gao Ze, otherwise my identity may be exposed."
Shadow Attendant turned around and left: "You don't need to remind me."
Xu Baihu breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, the failure of Gao Ze and the village heroes was a foregone conclusion. After all the people who threatened him in the county were eliminated, both money and status would be at his fingertips.
However, just as Shadow Warrior walked out of the house, a cold light flashed through!
Zhao Haiping jumped down from the nearby roof and slashed at Shadow Warrior with the long knife in his hand!
The Shadow Attendant reacted very quickly. He reacted as soon as he heard the sound, rolled to the side and successfully avoided it.
But Zhao Haiping didn't hold back at all. The attack was so violent that he had no time to draw out his sword to fight back!
“If it was an assassin player, maybe the blow just now could kill him directly.
"But it doesn't matter. As long as I seize the opportunity, I can kill him too!"
Zhao Haiping looked like a ferocious god at this moment, making the Shadow Attendant terrified.
Because he really couldn't figure out where this civilian-looking man came from!
This Shadow Attendant is quite confident in his own movement. He has been moving in secret. If someone was really following him, they would have discovered it long ago and there is no way he would have been followed.
Moreover, the opponent's attacks seemed to be accurate in his actions. Every knife hit the place that made him most uncomfortable. After falling into a passive position at the beginning, it became worse and worse, and there was no way to reverse the situation!
"what happened!"
Xu Baihu also rushed out with a face full of astonishment, but he only saw Zhao Haiping's long knife slashing through the Shadow Warrior's throat.
"You killed me seventeen times, but it doesn't matter. I only need to kill you once!"
Zhao Haiping waved his long knife, spilling the blood on it, and looked at Xu Baihu.
The reason why he was able to appear unnoticed on the path that the Shadow Attendant must pass was because he had already tried it dozens of times before.
Every time he follows this Shadow Warrior for a certain distance, he will be noticed and then fight.
But as long as you remember the route bit by bit, you can always find Xu Baihu's hiding place.
During this process, Zhao Haiping kept fighting with this Shadow Warrior and knew his moves and habits very clearly.
This time, he lurked on the path that Shadow Attendant must take to leave, and finally succeeded!
Xu Baihu was also stunned. Apparently he couldn't figure out why an ordinary country warrior could be so good at fighting!
He wanted to escape, but it was too late. Zhao Haiping's long knife had already struck him.
The sword flashed, the package filled with money burst, and the gold and silver treasures were scattered on the ground.
An incredible expression appeared on Xu Baihu's face, and then the world in his vision spun and he fell on his back.
This time, he was really dead.
…
Inside the theater.
"In the Southern Dynasties, I have seen the ancient history, read the romantic old stories, the lights and windows of the pavilion in the flower house are late, and I have vomited endless efforts. I play the piano against the wall every day, and I appreciate the friends. This time..."
The beautiful lyrics are melodious and graceful, with an endless aftertaste.
Su Xianjun sang melodiously and melodiously on the stage, and even the thieves and bandits in the audience were very engaged in listening.
The general and the scholar drank wine, unaware of the approaching danger.
They didn't know that the shadow attendant in charge would never come back.
While singing, Su Xianjun's singing suddenly changed.
"...Private hatred can be forgiven, but national hatred is the most difficult to eliminate!"
At this moment, all sounds seemed to stop suddenly.
The scholar suddenly woke up and realized that something was wrong, but it was already too late.
There were heavy footsteps outside, and at the same time, the pungent smell of fire oil spread.
"Kill out quickly!"
Only then did the drunken thieves realize what they were doing. They got into a mess and tried to rush out from the main entrance of the theater.
However, Gao Ze stood in front of the gate and blocked the door.
The more than 300 local heroes who came with him held torches and threw them around the theater.
The raging flames ignited!
In the dark night sky, bright flames quickly engulfed the wooden building of the theater. Although the burning speed was not fast, everyone could tell that this was a countdown to death.
The thieves rushed out like crazy, but the village heroes blocked the main entrance and never let any of the thieves go.
Gao Ze shouted: "If you don't kill the bandits, how can you repay Tang Gong?
"Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"
Everyone was furious. In the face of the hatred of the country and the family, any words were redundant. There was only a simple matter of life and death!
Seeing the fire, Su Xianjun on the stage continued to sing.
Then, he saw Yang Xinyan's figure among the people fighting desperately.
"Wei soldiers have captured the territory, and there are songs of distress from all directions... The king is exhausted, how can I live with my humble concubine..."
Across the blazing flames, Su Xianjun finally looked in the direction of Yang Xinyan.
Surrounded by blood and fire, they seemed to have really become Yu Ji and the Overlord.
…
"help me!
"Help me quickly!"
The scholar begged, but the wanderer ignored him. He actually climbed over the burning wall of fire and escaped from the theater.
At the main entrance, the Dongyi general and the bandits were still trying to rush out. Gao Ze and others were desperately holding on, but they really couldn't take care of the wanderer.
However, just when he thought he could escape successfully, he saw an ordinary-looking civilian man walking out from a shadow beyond the reach of the fire.
"Although my battle with you will probably not affect whether this copy is cleared...
"But I still want to fight you."
Zhao Haiping drew out his long knife and held it with both hands.
The vagabond didn't understand what he was talking about, but his expression still showed confusion. Obviously he didn't understand why this civilian husband was so bold and dared to challenge him single-handedly.
After carefully looking behind Zhao Haiping, there was obviously no one else.
Zhao Haiping smiled: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else.
"I just want to hack you to death, or be hacked to death by you."
The sword flashed!
…
The moment Zhao Haiping fell, the scenes that happened in this copy appeared in front of him like a revolving lantern.
Magistrate Tang who shouted "loyalty to the emperor and serve the country" and fought to the last moment wielding a machete; Su Xianjun, a famous actor who was unparalleled on the stage; Yang Xinyan, who chose to become a hero at the last moment; Gao Zai, who summoned local braves and finally sacrificed heroically...
There are also countless village heroes, civilian husbands, and troupe members who, like him, have sacrificed their lives and blood to complete their missions...
“It’s a pity that I still can’t defeat this vagabond.
"It's okay. If I come here a few more times, I'll be able to hurt you sooner or later."
This time, the trial illusion did not return to its original point. Zhao Haiping's field of vision gradually increased, showing an overlooking perspective.
The fire in the theater was still burning, and the village heroes chased the individual bandits who escaped. Many bandits, including General Dongyi and the scholar, were all killed in the flames.
