Chapter 185: Blending In
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Zhao quickly climbed up a big tree and stared at the villa motionless against the trunk.
He didn't care about the life or death of the people in the villa, but he smelled the same smell from the masked man as Mr. Yun in the ruined temple. Although it was very indifferent, Zhao was sure that he would not admit his mistake.
After all, the reason why I killed him after asking so many questions in the end was not out of curiosity at all, but to verify whether it was the smell from that night. The result is obvious, that's why Zhao disguised himself as a masked man.
After staring for about a quarter of an hour, a man in black walked by under the tree and called softly, "Moon Deer Protector, Moon Deer Protector, where are you?"
On the tree, Zhao adjusted his throat and relaxed his mind. Because I can’t imitate exactly the same, I can only reduce the number of words as much as possible and say, “Is something wrong?”
After identifying the source of the sound, the man in black jumped onto the tree and whispered, "Master Yu Heng asked me to ask you, have the people inside been killed?"
"Um"
"Master Yu Heng asked his subordinates to test it..."
"The body is under the bed, would you like..."
Although Zhao Jiu's tone was calm, his hand unconsciously touched his lower back. As long as the man in black said "yes", he would do it immediately, or at worst, run away.
The man in black smiled and said, "No, no, no, Master Yu Heng is used to being cautious. I still believe in the protector."
"I will go back and report this now. I will say that I saw it with my own eyes. I will not embarrass the Dharma Protector."
Knowing the nature of the man in front of him, the man in black said quickly and turned around to leave, but was held down by his shoulders, and a faint voice came from behind, "Where is Mr. Yun?"
"He's dead, doesn't the Protector know yet?" The man in black was a little surprised, but he guessed it when he thought that the Protector had been following Mr. Yu Heng these past few days.
Then he explained, "He died in the ruined temple on the road the day before yesterday, killed by the Jin Yiwei."
Afraid of angering the protector, the man in black didn't even dare to say the condition of his death and kept his mouth shut.
"Where are the others?" He didn't continue to ask Mr. Yun. How could he not know what he had killed?
"The wooden beast, golden sheep and fire snake protectors have all entered the villa, but they haven't come back yet." The man in black replied respectfully.
After taking away Zhao Jiu's hand, he added, "Defender, Mr. Yu Heng asked you to keep an eye on this place. If anyone comes out, kill them all without leaving a trace."
"I understand." Zhao turned around and said nothing more.
You can't get anything out of someone of this lowly level, so you'd better just wait and see what happens and look for opportunities to get some important information.
Seeing Zhao, he lost interest in continuing. The man in black felt relieved and quickly jumped off the tree and disappeared into the darkness in a few steps.
Ignoring the movement behind him, he stared at the villa and pondered. Yuheng, Yuelu, Muyan, etc., aren't these the Big Dipper and the Twenty-Eight Constellations?
In this way, it seems that the three assassinations were all carried out by a group, but the first and second time were purposeful and planned, while the third time was purely a coincidence.
Just when he was thinking about whether it was Qixing or Twenty-eight Su who assassinated him in the capital, the silent atmosphere in the villa was suddenly broken. First there were shouts from the middle rooms, and soon there were shouts from the front rooms, followed by the sound of slashing with sharp weapons and the sound of doors being broken.
"It seems that the family is being exterminated... I have to participate in it too. You have to do it yourself when you kill people. What a poor person!"
After whispering a few words like a joke, Zhao was dissatisfied with his feet and moved out with a slight click. He landed on the courtyard wall to use his strength and walked along the root of the courtyard wall to the front yard.
In the courtyard, Yu Heng turned his head slightly and looked towards the courtyard wall. He vaguely felt someone running towards him, but the waving knife attracted his attention. After ducking sideways, he could no longer feel anyone outside the wall.
"Am I paranoid? This feels bad." The zhenqi flowed in his hand, blocking the incoming knife, and he couldn't help but murmured after taking a few steps back.
He couldn't help but want to take a second look, but a few slashing knives prevented him from looking outside the wall. After changing his steps several times to escape the siege, his true energy circulated and he used several palms to block the incoming knife.
"Want to die? Okay! I'll make it happen for you!" His thoughts were interrupted and he was already annoyed. In addition, several people continued to chop him down, which made Yu Heng, who had always had a good temper, get a little angry.
The energy in his hand suddenly increased, and he appeared in front of several people while his footsteps kept changing. After slapping away the knives they were holding in front of them with both hands, he raised his feet and swept several people away before flying backwards. Several people were already out of breath when they landed on the ground.
"Stop! Stop! What do you want to do?" The old man walked out with a stick and knocked on the ground with the wooden stick and shouted angrily.
It's just that he is very old. He yelled a few words and then patted his chest feebly.
The sound was not loud in the first place, but it was filled with various sounds all around, and it became even quieter due to the ebb and flow of one after another. There was still no scruple in killing people, just pretending not to hear the old man's roar.
"Okay, what do you want to do? We can talk about money, why kill people?" The middle-aged man next to him couldn't help shouting.
But it still had no effect. Only Yu Heng looked at him thoughtfully, as if he couldn't bear it. Tianshu behind him saw this and stepped forward to pat Yu Heng on the shoulder and nodded towards him.
He said calmly, "Yu Heng, don't be emotional. For our career and for the future to see light, these are necessary sacrifices..."
"I understand, don't worry I won't be lenient."
Tianshu then patted him on the shoulder and took two steps back. This was other people's business and it was not good for him to say too much. What's more, I can only remind him, but I can't help him make a decision, right?
Yu Heng hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind, activated his energy, and rushed into the crowd. When he came out again, there was still no one standing.
Turning his head to look at the old man, the old man also looked at him calmly. After all, the old man was already buried up to his neck in the earth. It didn't matter if he died early or late, he would die. He had let it go long ago.
"I don't know why you want to kill us, everyone."
"I can't walk anymore, old man. You can at least let me be a ghost who knows what's going on, right?"
To show his sincerity, the old man even threw the wooden stick in his hand aside and smiled calmly.
On the contrary, Yuheng sighed lightly when he saw this, and his steps forward paused. He lowered his head and dared not look at the old man again. After pausing for a few breaths, he continued to move forward and stopped in front of the old man.
The old man looked at Yuheng's mask and was a little confused. It was not until he looked directly into Yuheng's eyes that he was startled.
He staggered back a step and said intermittently, "Zhuang... Zhuang..."
Before he could say the second word, Yuheng had already grabbed his neck and lifted him up. He whispered, "Qi Bo, I'm sorry..."
The old man Qi Bo didn't recognize this voice. He nodded lightly and didn't ask anything else. Until the force on his neck became stronger and stronger, he opened his mouth and said silently, "Eat well in the future, and remember to burn incense for the master and the lady."
Yu Heng nodded slightly, closed his eyes and dared not look at Qi Bo, and tightened his hands more and more. Soon Qi Bo closed his eyes peacefully.
Zhao Jue had a blank expression in the crowd, but he couldn't help but mock in his heart.
"He has been an animal all his life, and he was killed and eaten meat at the end, and he asked me not to hurt my hands."
"Isn't it cheap?"
