Chapter 718 Surrounding
Li Moyun, Yang Chen and Yang Zhen surrounded each other from three sides, blocking all three directions where the shadow could escape. This made him suddenly pale in his forward momentum, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes. Unexpectedly, the other party had already decided everything and set up a net.
This is true. As a former ally of the church, Shao Qiuxi knew him quite well, and the days of pursuit and fighting not long ago were clear in his grasp of many of his behavioral habits. So after confirming that Shadow will attack Dong Gongwang, he decisively made arrangements.
Not only did he hurried to find where Dong Gongwang was, because only where he was, he could find a shadow, and he also quickly found Li Moyun, who was still walking around in the city, and contacted the Yang brothers through him. From the fact that from Shao Qiuxi, he learned that Li Ling was safe, and he was hiding somewhere in the city, the three of them had no worries. They immediately followed his orders and cooperated to set up an ambush outside Dong Gongwang's team.
When Dong Gongwang was suddenly assassinated but was rescued, Shao Qiuxi had already concluded that the first assassin who took action was just a trick, and his real killer move was still behind, so he kept his troops and waited for changes. Sure enough, soon, the real shadow took action, and he seized the opportunity and quickly came out, forcing the other party to change his moves and protect himself with his body skills and martial arts that were much stronger than the other party to force the other party to change their moves and protect themselves.
Still the same thing, Shao Qiuxi knows shadows too well. This is a vicious assassin, who is good at creating and seizing opportunities for one blow, but at the same time, he is also the guy who cherishes his life the most. So when the life and death of the target are linked to his own safety, he will choose to protect himself without hesitation. After all, there are still opportunities for assassination.
Of course, only a top master like Shao Qiuxi can take action at the moment when he launches the assassination and force him to change his moves. If someone else was replaced, he would probably be able to kill someone and escape calmly. At the same time, Shao Qiuxi also recognized the direction of his escape, so he had already made a gesture to Li Moyun before rushing out to block their way.
All this was done in the flash of lightning that occurred when the assassination occurred. If it weren't for the fact that all the people were smart masters, I was afraid that such tacit understanding and net would have been impossible, and the shadow would have already crawled out of the loophole. Now, the three of them surrounded the three sides, and Shao Qiuxi chased them from behind, almost blocking the shadow here.
Yes, it was almost. Because just as the other soldiers were shouting and trying to surround and kill them, the shadow in the air suddenly stopped, and then sank, and with a thunder, it directly knocked out a big hole in the roof of the house below, and he also fell into the house smoothly.
It is not enough to surround the current environment, because there is a way out below. Moreover, the still dense houses here play a good role in blocking them. Whether it is the four people surrounding them or the soldiers chasing behind them, they all lost their target in an instant, which made Shao Qiuxi scream in his heart, and his figure was getting a little faster. Almost a sword cooperated with a light and shadow, and rushed into the room in a flash.
He knew very well how risky it was to do this. After all, what Shadow is best at sneak attacks and assassination. At this time, the situation of the enemy's darkness and my light is exactly what he hoped to see. However, Shao Qiuxi was more clear that such an environment was more conducive to his stalking and sneaking. Once he found an opportunity to withdraw, it would be too difficult to find him again. Moreover, he had great confidence in his skills and could handle it calmly even when he encountered sneak attacks, so he chased into the house without hesitation.
As the sword flashed, the two thin doors shattered. While Shao Qiuxi was rushing into the room, he swung his knife to protect the vital points around him to prevent attack. However, this was a bit futile, because after entering the room, there was no one or attack. Instead, a window in front was slowly closing.
Shao Qiuxi immediately guessed the reason. After falling into the house, the other party actually rushed out of the window, because there were many large and small courtyard houses not far from this house. He could play hide-and-seek with everyone through these complex buildings, and then find an opportunity to get out.
Thinking of this, he quickly flashed, slashed out with a knife, and with a snap, the window shattered, and the person appeared outside the house. At the same time, his eyes flashed, looking for a room where the shadow might have penetrated.
But during this slow time, when he arrived outside, the rooms were no longer visible to anyone who had just entered, and they stood there quietly in darkness, without any distinction. At this time, a voice above also sounded: "Master, what's wrong?" But Li Moyun also chased after him and lost the other party's trace.
As soon as the words were finished, the Yang brothers also rushed over one after another, with anxiety and confusion on their faces: "Where is the person?"
Shao Qiuxi glanced around and asked, "Have you seen him enter another room?" His vision was blocked in the room, but the three of them were chasing him from above. According to reason, he should be able to see his actions after he came out.
As a result, the three of them shook their heads at the same time, and Yang Chen thought of something in an instant: "He didn't come out?"
"Impossible, I'll see him when I chased in, and there were traces of the window being opened..." Shao Qiuxi's expression suddenly changed as soon as he said this, and he realized that something was wrong.
When I chased me out, I smashed the window and went outside. How could Shadow, a escaping guy, just opened the window so carefully? How could this waste of time? Even to prevent myself from finding out that I had gone out of the window, it was unreasonable. The window was still moving when I entered the house, and as long as there was no one in the house, I thought I knew that he had left the window. Isn’t this a waste of time?
But when I thought about it again, if this was a flaw that the shadow deliberately revealed, in fact, others were still in the house, but the window led Shao Qiuxi out of the window, and the matter made sense. After thinking about it, Shao Qiuxi thought that the room was not bare, and there was a cabinet standing there, which was enough for people to hide in it.
"I'm trapped!" He shouted immediately, turned around and went back to the room. The other three people quickly followed, but they did not pass through the window again like him, but instead walked around the side of the house and blocked the front door.
But it was still a little late. As soon as Shao Qiuxi entered the room, he saw that the cabinet door was already wide open. Obviously, the shadow was really hiding in it. He took advantage of the time he was delaying to chase the outside and had calmly escaped from the main door. With his skills, it would be much easier to avoid the pursuit of ordinary soldiers.
At this time, many soldiers and generals held up torches and shouted loudly from the generals, almost covering the buildings and streets of several miles. Although Dong Shuai was assassinated this time, he was a little embarrassed, but for these border soldiers, it was an unprecedented shame. In addition to fear, he naturally wanted to take down the assassin and cut him into pieces.
But their arrival not only failed to help capture the shadow, but instead made the situation even more chaotic and gave the other party a chance to escape. This made Shao Qiuxi and others speechless, and could only sigh, but could no longer move. In this situation, the shadow could completely interfere in the crowd. You must know that he was wearing a Vietnamese military uniform, and it was not abrupt at all at this night.
However, they, especially Shao Qiuxi, dressed in a night outfit, became the target of the soldiers' care. Soon someone surrounded him and asked about their identity vigilantly. Fortunately, Li Moyun and the other two quickly revealed their identity to testify, which did not cause any greater misunderstandings.
But in this way, it was even more impossible to pursue. Dong Gongwang was also strode by the guards of hundreds of personal guards. There was no panic on his face, and there was no even any anger. After seeing Shao Qiuxi, he clasped his fists and said, "I'm the one who saved this hero just now? I thanked me!" As he said that, he bowed and bowed, with thoughtful etiquette.
Shao Qiuxi quickly returned a greeting from a distance: "The old general doesn't have to do this. I just happened to have this opportunity. Moreover, this is what Li Ling and Brother Li mean."
"Oh? Lord Li met the hero?"
"It was because I rescued him from the enemy not long ago. He guessed that the assassin's intention was on the old general, so he asked me to come and save him quickly."
"So that's it. Lord Li really cares a lot for me. By the way, where is he now? Is it safe?"
"It should be still in the city, hiding in a house, it must be safe." Shao Qiuxi said with a smile. He really didn't expect Li Ling to go back smartly and then fall into the hands of Gui Rongren.
This answer also made everyone relieved. Whether Li Moyun or Dong Gongwang, or ordinary soldiers, they were all concerned about Li Ling's safety. Needless to say, Dong Gongwang and other border soldiers also knew that Li Ling made great contributions to destroying the city this time, so naturally he did not want him to have any good or bad luck. Now, after hearing Shao Qiuxi's words that he was safe, everyone was happy.
"I just let the assassin escape..." The general next to him was full of reluctance. After hearing this, Mr. Dong smiled: "Now the city is controlled by my army. I don't believe that he can still leave, but it's just a little more."
Shao Qiuxi didn't say anything, only he knew in his heart that he could not keep the shadow now, but he was afraid that he would let him slip away again this time. After two consecutive fights, Shadow will inevitably be more cautious in his future, and it will only be more difficult to kill him.
He just smiled bitterly and gave a slight salute to Gongwang Dong: "Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye." Then he looked at Li Moyun again, "You tell Lord Li that I will go to see him again, and some of the previous things may be explained."
