A New Character Every Month

The head of the Xu family looked at the middle-aged general and said viciously: "When the county king finds out about this, I will definitely be released. At that time, I will definitely sue you, and I will not let it go until your family is ruined."

The middle-aged general sneered, took out a rope and tied his hands, and then threw him into a prison car ahead.

In the prison car, a few people with shiny faces are being locked up at this moment.

"Master, why have you been arrested?"

After seeing the appearance of the person who was thrown into it, those people immediately wept.

They were all shopkeepers or stewards of Xu's shop. Although they were arrested, they were not too worried.

After all, with the master's means, they will definitely be rescued.

But now, even the master has been arrested, who will save them?

"you......"

Patriarch Xu supported a wooden pole and sat up, his eyes swept across the faces of the people next to him, and then looked at the dozens of prison cars outside.

He was surprised to find that there were people he knew in every prison car, and those were the stewards or shopkeepers of his shop.

The remaining ones who looked unfamiliar were probably shop assistants.

"Is Zhou Yumin crazy? Let his daughter go crazy like this, does he think he can handle me?"

Patriarch Xu suddenly remembered yesterday's donation ceremony, and felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart: "The Zhou family...does it mean that they want to use me to scare others?"

"No, it's impossible."

He shook his head violently: "If the Zhou family dares to do this, the adults behind me will never let them go."

第190四章 捉迷藏

late at night.

The ancient imperial city, the county palace.

In a courtyard with exquisite and gorgeous shapes, there is a small two-story building.

Although the people living in the building have fallen asleep, there are still lanterns hanging in the corridor outside the building, and the firelight illuminates the surrounding area.

Outside the courtyard, patrolling guards walked by from time to time, showing that the guards were heavily guarded.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed outside the courtyard.

A man dressed in black, with a black scarf on his head, and holding a dagger jumped in from the wall, and landed gently on the ground without making a sound.

He glanced at the brightly lit house in front of him, and then dodged and hid behind a medium-sized ornamental stone.

Then he poked his head out slightly, stared at the small building, thinking about how to sneak inside as quickly as possible without attracting the attention of the guards outside, and kill the owner of the building.

Within a dozen or so breaths, the man in black had a rough idea in his mind, and it quickly took shape.

After all, this kind of assassination has long been familiar to him. Although the place and target of each assassination are different, the essence is the same in the final analysis.

The man in black retracted his head, took a deep breath, and when he was about to sneak into the small building, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Under the moonlight, a bald man in a white undershirt appeared next to him at some point, only less than half a meter away from him.

Seeing him look, the bald man smiled: "You..."

Just as the words were out of his mouth, the man in black quickly stabbed out the dagger in his hand, aiming directly at the bald man's heart.

Although I don't know how strong this person is, but even if he is a level higher than me, if he doesn't take precautions at such a close distance from me, he will definitely die!

The man in black sneered in his heart, and before he could be happy, he heard the sound of swords colliding as soon as the dagger hit the bald man's chest.

The dark iron dagger blade bought with a lot of money was actually rebounded.

"He wears a treasure armor inside?"

A thought quickly flashed through the mind of the man in black, but his hands didn't stop. With a flick of his hand, the blade of the dagger changed from stabbing to slashing instantly.

This time, the target was directed at the bald man's fragile throat.

"Let's see if you're still alive this time!"

The man in black was proud, but the next moment, he heard a sound that was almost the same as before.

His face, hidden under the veil, suddenly became astonished.

tread!

In an instant, the man in black stomped on the ornamental stone next to him several times, and flew quickly towards the outside of the courtyard wall.

And at the same time, he threw more than a dozen hidden weapons at the bald man.

He didn't care about the result, and fell directly to the courtyard wall.

Then even if the escape route had already been explored, he escaped from the county prince's mansion in just a few minutes without alarming the guards.

But even so, the man in black still didn't feel relieved, and ran for more than a quarter of an hour, and arrived at the safety point he had prepared before.

A bungalow.

Open the wooden door, step inside, and close the door.

Only then did his tense body relax, his head resting on the wooden door, panting heavily.

"No wonder, no wonder several silver medal assassins failed."

The man in black felt terrified: "I thought it was because of their lack of strength, but now it seems that the Zhou family may not be as simple as it seems on the surface. A guard monk has the strength that even my gold medal can't be hurt... .”

Thinking of his own dagger being bounced off one after another, he secretly guessed: "Could it be that the monk also practiced the golden bell jar of Buddhism?"

"No, it shouldn't be."

He shook his head.

When the golden bell cover is used, the whole body is like gold.

But that monk was no different from an ordinary person, his muscles didn't tense at all, and it seemed that he didn't even have his profound strength in motion.

"That's all."

The man in black sighed: "It doesn't matter if you don't do this task."

Thinking of the rewards listed on the reward list, and the rewards that have been increased several times in a row, this vote is completely worth his usual more than ten votes. If there is a chance, he will not give up this assassination mission.

But facing that person just now, if he didn't run away quickly when he saw the situation, and his lightness kung fu was amazing, he might have been folded in with those silver medal assassins by now.

Suddenly, a grunt sounded from behind.

The body of the man in black instantly became stiff, and his head slowly turned backward.

But he saw a man sleeping on the bed behind him.

The most important thing is that the other party is bald.

When the man in black entered the room just now, although he was fast, he still carefully observed the hair left by the door to confirm that no one had entered the room halfway.

Moreover, he deliberately glanced around the room, and there was absolutely no such person on the bed.

Facing such a ghostly scene, he had only one thought in his mind.

escape!

Run as far away as possible!

The body of the man in black changed from stillness to movement in an instant, and he broke through the wooden door with all his strength and fled outside.

This time, he escaped for a full quarter of an hour and came to an abandoned courtyard in the north of the city.

Looking at the dust and cobwebs in the yard, for some reason, he, who was used to the darkness, felt a tinge of fear at this moment.

"This time, I should get rid of him."

The beating heart of the man in black slowly began to slow down.

"Ugh……"

Suddenly, there was a sound of breathing from behind, as if being woken up.

This time, the man in black didn't even turn his head. He lowered his feet to the ground, and quickly flew towards the outside of the courtyard. When he reached the highest point, he looked back.

I found a sleepy-eyed, breathing... bald man leaning against a wooden pillar inside.

The speed of the man in black accelerated again.

Immediately, something that frightened him even more happened.

No matter how far he ran or where he hid, that weird bald man was always with him.

As long as he stops, within ten breaths, he can see the other party.

An hour later.

The man in black sat on the ground panting, leaning his back against a big tree.

At this time, a sound of swallowing food came from the other side of his big tree.

This time, without even looking at it, the man in black knew that the one who made the sound must be the bald head.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he squeezed his sore legs, and completely gave up the idea of ​​getting up and running away.

Can't get rid of it, can't get rid of it at all.

Because the other party is not human!

The swallowing sound continued until after a few minutes, the sound died away and an object was thrown.

The man in black moved his eyes and glanced at the fruit stone next to him, his expression unchanged.

Once he accepted the acknowledgment of his fate, he found that his mentality was much calmer. No matter what death or whatever he was facing next, he believed that he could accept it calmly.

It was much better than just running for a long time thinking that he was going to escape, only to find that the other party was right behind him.

"Finally stopped running?"

There was a sound of patting clothes from behind, and then a bald head came into his sight.

"If you want to kill or slash, please listen and respect."
