Become a cat [Zhan Zhao]

Two days later, late at night, they docked at the abandoned pier that He Lian had mentioned.Even the sky seems to be on their side, the thick dark clouds can't penetrate even the moonlight, the whole sea and the land are as dark as when the chaos has not yet opened, without a ray of light.Only where the fishing village is located, there are still a few piles of bonfires flickering faintly, like strange creatures in the night, appearing dazzling and abrupt.

He Lian had already turned off the lights at the stern of the boat, and paddled the boat to the shore silently.The sea water patted the shore regularly, making gentle waves.On the shore, weeds are overgrown, basically withered and yellow weeds, sluggish in the cold weather.A few small nocturnal creatures wander here, most of them are cautious and do not conflict with humans.The only thing that can show their existence is the pair of yellow and green eyes, flashing across the grass, coquettish and weird.

Alan's eyes were darkened, and he could almost only judge the soil, sand, and grass from the touch of his feet. The cold and wet night wind pierced through his clothes and made people tremble.Pulled by Zhan Zhao, she staggered and followed He Lian silently towards the jungle.

Indeed, their first destination was not a fishing village.Because no matter how miserable things happened there, it can't be undone.What is needed now is not deep mourning, but a proper plan.Both Zhan Zhao and He Lian agreed that they should enter the jungle first.If there are enemies there, subdue them, then guard the entrance of the fishing village, and then infiltrate step by step, hitting them by surprise from behind.

Rough and crude plan, but immediate and effective.Both Zhan Zhao and He Lian are masters. Although they have two burdens, they still move quickly and quietly.Ah Lan didn't know how Zhan Zhao and He Lian were able to identify their direction at night like this. She couldn't even see Zhan Zhao's back clearly, she could only feel the reassuring warmth from the palm of her hand.The speed of the four of them was almost faster than when Ah Lan was running alone, and she could barely keep up with Zhan Zhao.And He Zhou was held in his sister's arms. After the earlier warning, he was as quiet as a mouse now.

Soon, the smell of salty seawater faded, and the smell of wood leaves gradually mixed into the air.The rain a few days ago made the jungle more humid, and from time to time, the feet would step on mud soaked in water.

When we reached the edge of the jungle, we could already feel the thin mist steaming and spreading outward from the forest.Perhaps because of the existence of Lord Dongwu, the fog here persists all year round, even in the middle of the night.

He Lian calmed down a little - the fog was still there, which meant that Master was fine.But why can someone break through the fog?This is impossible.

Full of doubts, she led the crowd into the jungle.Countless rotting grass leaves spread on the ground, forming a natural carpet, even if A Lan walked on it, the footsteps could hardly be heard.The dense woods are the best cover. While giving people psychological comfort, they also present unknown dangers.

Alan's heartbeat was not fast, but was always steady and powerful.She harbored a secret excitement, as if she had finally stood beside Zhan Zhao.Fighting side by side with the enemy, this is what she has always longed for.But right now, it seems that all the dreams have come true, she can call Zhan Zhao "Master", and she can do a little bit of help when he needs it.

It turned out to be such a joyful thing to be needed.For the first time in his life, Alan realized how muddled his life was.

But Zhan Zhao didn't delve into Ah Lan's heart, that's not his field of expertise.He has been thinking a lot these days, maybe he has been shaken, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.At least for now, Zhan Zhao hopes to keep Alan under his wings.He knew what He Lian was thinking. It was impossible for his younger brother to follow them all the time, so the main reason for going to the jungle first was to settle He Zhou and A Lan.It's just that they all pressed this point at the same time, as if they all had a premonition of how much opposition they would receive if they explained in advance.

He Zhou might be easy to deal with, but he's just a brat.But Ah Lan, Zhan Zhao thought of the little girl's full of enthusiasm along the way, he could see all the calmness she showed that didn't match her age, and the hidden agitation in her heart.

And how similar her appearance was to her once.

Zhan Zhao didn't know how to tell A Lan later: You can't follow me, you have to stay, stay in the jungle.Zhan Zhao also put Ah Lan in danger several times - he has always avoided such things from happening, but things always backfired.But this time is different, he must ensure A Lan's safety.Only if she stays in a place where there is no danger, can he let go.

However, since when did he have such worries?

There is no real silence in the jungle, but all the little noises around make it worse.The sneer of an owl sometimes thrills people, while the scaly reptile sticks out its elongated tongue with a hissing sound.

This is the place where He Lian grew up. Although it was late at night, it still did not hinder her from moving forward in the slightest.Soon He Lian found the way and made a detour to the entrance of the fishing village.

Along the way, they did not encounter any enemies.It seemed that the robbers who broke into the fishing village were confident that no one would come out of the woods and catch them by surprise.

Finally, they could vaguely see the bonfire in the fishing village.At this time, He Lian found a big stone covered with blue-gray moss, and then put He Zhou down.

He Zhou struggled for a while, still remembering his sister's instructions, and lowered his voice, "What are you doing?"

"You stay here." He Lian said directly, the straightforward tone made Zhan Zhao faintly envious.

He Zhou's eyes widened, and his suppressed voice revealed great dissatisfaction: "Let me go, I can help."

"You are a child, you will only do a disservice."

"I can't, you know I can't. I have been learning martial arts from you and Lao Gu all these years, I can kill people."

"You won't! Listen well, you have a mission to stay here. We are going to the fishing village, and you will guard the rear for us to ensure that no one will attack us from behind."

"You lied, no one can go through the jungle!"

"Why not? Otherwise, how did the fishing village get attacked?"

"..." He Zhou pursed his lips, he took a few breaths, shrank under the boulder and stopped talking.He Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Zhan Zhao opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Alan."

A Lan had a bad premonition before, but now that the premonition came true, she said first: "I won't stay."

"Are you going to let a child stay here alone?" Zhan Zhao found an almost irrefutable reason.

Alan bit her lip violently, and swallowed the phrase "whose younger brother will stay and watch".Her rationality told her that this is not the time to make trouble for no reason, any further entanglement would cause trouble for Zhan Zhao and would be a disservice to Zhan Zhao.But she couldn't help feeling a great loss, even a strong sadness.

It was like a sign—she would never be able to stand with Zhan Zhao.

But Zhan Zhao took it as her acquiescence, exchanged a look with He Lian, and the two flied out.In the thick night, even if there were several bonfires not far away, their silhouettes could not be distinguished soon.

Only He Zhou and Alan were left beside the boulder.He Zhou curled up under the stone, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand constantly, he seemed to feel betrayed, or cheated by his sister, so he was very wronged.Alan looked down at him, unable to tell what it was like.

Does he look as pathetic as this child?

Zhan Zhao and He Lian lowered their bodies and quietly approached the fishing village.There are no conspicuous guards here, only seven or eight people sitting by the campfire, dozing head to head.After getting closer, Zhan Zhao saw the attire of those people clearly, and an indescribable feeling arose in his heart—these people, wearing the clothes of Han Chinese soldiers, were obviously members of the army.

What happened?Why did these sergeants come to slaughter the fishermen here?

He Lian obviously saw it too, but didn't express anything.Perhaps in her eyes, there is no difference between a soldier and a robber.She gestured to Zhan Zhao, and the two parted ways behind a thick tree, outflanking from the left and right sides.

Their plans are not detailed.Zhan Zhao sneaked in from the left, and when he met someone, he lightly slapped their Baihui acupoint with his palm. Among those people, they were not skilled in martial arts, and they couldn't even make a sound, so they fell unconscious on the ground.But He Lian hid the dagger. She didn't show mercy. She blocked the throat with a knife and dragged the body into the grass when she encountered someone blocking the way.

Neither of them let down their vigilance because they met people with low martial arts one after another—the people in this fishing village were not real fishermen, and almost everyone had martial arts.Lao Gu's martial arts attainments are even higher than Zhan Zhao's, and he has not been able to escape the murderous hand, which shows that there is very likely a terrifying master here.

After about a cup of tea, the two of them approached the center of the fishing village, a two-story stone house.Most of the people gathered here, and the guards at the gate were stricter.They believe that the mastermind behind the scenes is here.

And when the two were still dozens of steps away from the stone house, a loud voice suddenly came: "Dead!" The hoarse voice contained fear, "Dead! My lord, it's not good! Dead!"

Zhan Zhao paused in his heart, and quickly concealed himself.A thought flashed in my mind: Sure enough, they are from the imperial court.

But He Lian and Zhan Zhao made the opposite decision. She flew out of her hiding place almost in one go, smashed through the wooden window on the second floor of the stone house, and rushed in!

As soon as it landed, there was a strong wind blowing down.He Lian blocked it with a dagger backhand, and with a "clang", half of her body went numb from the shock.At the same time, she also saw the face of the other party clearly under the light of the knife - it was actually a very young man, with a sickly face and haggard expression, but his eyes were full of murderous intent.

He was wearing a dark red official uniform, and the patterns embroidered on it seemed to come alive in the dark.

He Lian gritted her silver teeth secretly, and kicked the opponent's lower abdomen with a soft chirp.But the man didn't dodge or dodge, he held the knife in his right hand, and took He Lian's eyes with his left hand like an eagle's claw.

With a sound of "dong", He Lian kicked the opponent hard, but it was like kicking an iron plate.She knew in her heart that she had met a formidable enemy, and the dagger rose like lightning, and rubbed against the blade, making an ear-piercing sound of friction.The empty left hand stretched out like a poisonous snake, trying to trick the opponent's left wrist.

Before it was too late, the young man's left wrist sank, turned into a claw, and cut heavily on He Lian's phalanx. With a sound of "Kara", her finger bones were smashed to pieces!
