Chapter 352

A familiar voice came from behind, and the shadow puppet couldn't help but startled. Isn't this voice the Jin Yiwei who fought with him on the ship?

Did he find out a long time ago that he had cheated his death?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! The Turtle Breathing Technique that I have practiced is hard for even a junior grandmaster to see, let alone a first-level one!

Could it be that... I have exposed a flaw?

Feeling confused for a moment, he turned around and jumped down from the treetop just in time to see Zhao, showing him a bright smile.

"H-How did you find out?"

This question actually stopped Zhao, because before he encountered the body, he didn't know whether it was dead or not! The real discovery that the shadow puppet was not dead was when he encountered the corpse and found that he could not put the corpse into the space!

Yes, it was purely accidental. Although he is cautious and careful, at the same time he is also a person who is afraid of trouble. Why do he have to do hard work when he can be contained in the space?

And jumping into the river was not to pull the body out, but purely to wash away the blood on the body. After all, the world is full of wonders, and there are many people who can track them through scent. It's hard to hide when you're covered in blood, and it doesn't take much to change clothes, so why not?

After frowning and thinking, Zhao shrugged and spread his hands, "To be honest, I didn't find any flaws in you. The reason why I left and came back is because I felt something was wrong, that's all."

"No? What's wrong?" Shadow Puppetry asked curiously, frowning with confusion on his face.

"Firstly, I don't think you are here to kill me; secondly, you are too easy to kill, easier to kill than ordinary wild men. These two things are very wrong."

He became even more confused, "Why do you think we are not here for you? Is it because we have been following you for a few days?"

Apart from this reason, he really couldn't think of any other reasons. Obviously everything was flawless, they never showed up, made no other moves, and didn't even bring up other topics.

Why do you think so much in this situation? He was really confused.

Zhao raised his eyebrows and made up a random statement: "It's very simple. You two have been following me for a few days, but I haven't noticed any murderous intent at all, and you act very angry. This is not normal!"

After saying this, Zhao felt like he was talking nonsense. Unexpectedly, the shadow puppet nodded seriously. By the way, he looked back at the body of the meat-and-wine monk and sighed helplessly.

"Alas, a slight difference is a huge mistake. What a miscalculation."

Do you believe it? Zhao was greatly surprised and his eyes widened. Fortunately, the rain was heavy enough and interfered with the other party's line of sight, otherwise the secret would have been exposed.

He adjusted the expression on his face, and then asked tentatively: "You are here probably for Liu Zhiyuan, right?"

"Um."

Now that he had been seen through, there was nothing to hide, so the shadow play simply nodded.

"Received money?"

"That's right. Let's keep an eye on it from above."

Are there any experts? Zhao Jiu's expression changed drastically. Both of them were of the first rank, and the one "above" was the little grandmaster!

He swallowed and pretended to be calm. He had to figure out who was responsible for this assassination. In order to analyze the situation at hand and make the best choice.

"Above? Strange Villa?"

"Yes." The shadow play was very frank.

"Little Grandmaster?"

His response was a nod.

Seeing this, Zhao couldn't help gritting his teeth. He didn't expect that the situation had become so bad. The little grandmaster has already taken action, so the big grandmaster might have to show his face too...

Thinking of this, he already had the idea of ​​​​running away. But out of habit, he still asked for confirmation: "It's not just the little grandmaster, right?"

The man opposite him was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He tilted his head and thought for a few moments before replying: "I don't know, maybe there is, maybe not. Anyway, it wasn't mentioned above, but looking at the situation, there is a high probability that it is not."

oh? Zhao was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "What do you mean by this? Is it possible that we haven't reached an agreement?"

"I don't know if we've reached an agreement or not. But after all, the person you want to kill is a first-class general, and he is protected by the royal guards. The grand master also has to judge the situation, right?"

He nodded, his words made sense. The Grand Master is not a big deal. If you want to hire him, you have to pay corresponding conditions. If you want to kill a powerful first-class general who is protected by a royal guard, the price will not be low, and they may not be able to afford it.

Of course, it's all still speculation at this point, and nothing has been decided yet.

So Zhao just listened and was 100% sure that it was impossible. What is known at present is that the situation is not optimistic, and we must be prepared to run away at any time.

With this thought in mind, he stretched his body and asked the last question: "Who is behind the scenes and manipulating the situation? Hexi? Or the people from Shu?"

According to Zhao Jiu's thinking, although Annan was also involved in it, there was a high probability that he would only have a taste of it and would never have the idea of ​​​​fighting to the end.

Because killing Liu Zhiyuan, for Annan, the risks outweigh the benefits. If it works, they can't compete with Hexi; if it doesn't work, they will offend not only the imperial court, Shu, but also Hexi.

It is a business that makes money or loses money, so it is better to just sit back and watch.

But what he didn't expect was that after thinking for a while, the shadow puppet shook his head and smiled bitterly, curled his lips and said, "Actually, I don't know who the person behind the scenes is, but I don't feel like someone from Hexi, but rather like someone from Annan. "

This was unexpected, and Zhao was surprised.

I wanted to continue asking, but the man gently waved his hand and sighed: "No need to ask anymore, I only know so much. As for other questions, such as about the strange villa, I can't say, and I can't explain clearly. All I can tell you is In a word: The Villa is full of strange people.”

"That's all."

Hearing this, Zhao sighed helplessly. He originally wanted to ask about the location of the Qianqibaiguai Villa, but from his tone, he would not tell him even if he asked, so he simply did not ask, saving himself the trouble.

"Alas, you have said so much, I should not kill you for both reason and emotion, but unfortunately..."

"If I don't kill you, my future will be difficult."

The true energy of the shadow play gradually spread, as if comforting, grinning and laughing, saying "It doesn't matter, if the matter is not done well, it will be dead. Just think of it as a dying man, and his words are good."

"In addition, I will give you another piece of advice: there is a great master in Jiangnan!"

Before Zhao finished speaking, he had not reacted, and the sword light suddenly lit up in front of him.

The dazzling light and the true energy fluctuations were close, and Zhao immediately came to his senses, took two steps back to avoid the soft sword, and drew out the embroidered spring knife to chop it.

After forcing the man to retreat, he quickly bullied him and swung several knives in a row to break the sword net formed by the soft sword. After lifting the soft sword, he pushed the heel of his front foot close to the ground, and raised his back foot with a knee to hit the man's chest, knocking him out.

A blood mist rose in the rain.

Then he put the knife back into the sheath, circulated the true energy, stretched out the star-chasing moon to catch up with the man, and added a palm in mid-air. Before the man landed, several hidden weapons followed one after another, nailing the acupoints around his body.

Immediately afterwards, the true energy in his hand condensed, and he pressed two palms on his chest successively. Under the infusion of true energy, there was no breath.
