Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

25. Assassin

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the sky is full of murders and arson

~

In the evening, as the sun set, everyone gathered together to talk about the future direction of Tianpu Society. They talked about the institutional reform of Tianpu Society. Daozhi listened carefully in the corner. I learned that Su Su’s heart for the people is brighter than the moonlight, and she also has certain insights into the improvement of Tianpu Society’s system. Although the seniors are not as intelligent as Su Su, their integrity and simplicity are also rare. They have a deep understanding of the internal operations of Tianpu Society. I understand very well. It seems that Mr. Yan has some arrangements.

This time, it was because of Su Su that the migrant workers slowly awakened. Not only did the seniors admire her, but she also won a position in the hearts of the migrant workers. The migrant workers both trusted and felt kind to her. Su Su's blood was boiling, and Daozhi could clearly feel the confidence she exuded intentionally or unintentionally.

It was getting dark gradually. After a hard day, everything was calm. Dao Zhi looked outside the house, very alert. This night, the moon is dark and the wind is high. The darkness is looking forward to the light. The light may not come immediately, and the light is not certain. The light of the sword is also light.

After several days of busy work, Su Su was very tired and fell asleep quickly, so she stayed in the outer room. In the second half of the night, everything was quiet. There was the sound of branches shaking from outside the courtyard, and as expected, the light of a knife flashed.

Several assassins were about to jump into the courtyard when they were stopped by a masked man in black:"Do you need to mobilize troops like this to deal with a woman?"

The assassins were stunned for a moment. The leader checked to see if he was not one of them, raised his knife and asked:" Who are you?"

"Come with me."The masked man did not answer directly.

The assassins were puzzled for a moment. Seeing that he was alone and wearing night clothes, they concluded that it should be a killer sent by someone else, possibly to compete with them for the target. Seeing that he did not have a gun in his hand Weapons, he relaxed his guard and followed the masked man to the open space not far from the farm workers' residence. As the masked man walked, he asked:"Do you know where this place is?""

"have no idea."The assassins were confused and didn't understand what he was going to do.

"This is the place where the field supervisor whipped the farm workers. The woman called on the peasant workers to resist. It was here that the field supervisor was beaten to death. It was also here that the woman persuaded the Dongfu Army. The soldiers chose to throw away their weapons and stand with the people. Here is more This is where the general who led the army died."The masked man stopped.

"What on earth do you want to do by bringing us here?"The assassins were bewildered

"I also give you a chance to choose."The masked man turned around and said to the assassins.

Only then did the assassins realize something was wrong, and the leader shouted:"Stop talking nonsense, I'll deal with you first, and then go kill that woman."

"It's spacious here, and there are wide enough roads to walk on. It's dark at night, and you can choose to go into the darkness."The masked man said calmly.

"superior……"The leader shouted impatiently.

The masked man easily got rid of them in a few clicks, leaving only one alive. After understanding some of the situation, he let him go, on the condition that he would not go back to do evil again.

In the backyard of a large house, there was a bright room, and a group of people were sitting around a table, eating meat and drinking wine, talking and laughing, and waiting for others to come back while eating. The window suddenly opened and the candles went out. Several people subconsciously picked up knives and became alert. It turned out to be Feng Wuguan. The candles were lit, and a few people continued to eat and drink. The wind blew the windows from time to time, rattling, and the candles were being pulled by the wind, which made people feel a little panicked.

"Go and close the windows."The boss glanced at the window. The leaves were shaking in the wind.

Several people were holding wine glasses. Suddenly the window opened again and the candles were blown out.

"Didn’t I ask you to close the window?"The boss scolded

"Boss, I just turned it off."A person replied aggrievedly.

When he was lighting the candle, he vaguely saw a shadow. When the candle lit up again, it turned out that it was really a person.

Several people were surprised at first. Seeing that he was wearing an assassin uniform, the boss thought that the person he sent had returned, so they ask:

"Mysterious, what are you standing for? Has the task been completed?"

A package was dropped directly on the table.

"Why did you leave it on the table? We are having dinner."The boss scolded

"We are waiting for you. Come sit down and eat?"The other person went to open the package.

The boss saw that he was motionless and felt something was wrong. He glanced at the door, which was closed, and then asked:"Where are the others? Why are you the only one who came back?"

After opening the package and seeing that it was one of theirs, the rest of the people stood up nervously, picked up knives and surrounded the masked man, but did not dare to get close.

"Who are you? How dare you come here and act wild?"The boss is also very nervous, but still restrained.

"To be precise, I can go wild here. You should be thinking how powerful he can be, just one person. But if he dared to come alone, it would have taken him a while to reach the backyard of the deep house. If he did it, would the result be like a head on the table? I feel reluctant not to do anything. After all, we are all martial arts practitioners. After all, the sword has been unsheathed. After all, the sword in my hand is shining. After all, there are many of us."The masked man spoke in a calm tone and looked at everyone.

They were frightened for a moment. Although the boss was calm on the surface, you could feel the fear in his heart. The masked man knew that they were looking for an opportunity. A People asked:"Who are you?"

"Someone has already asked me this question tonight, and he is on the table now. Will asking this question again have the same ending?"The masked figures seemed to be warning not to try the so-called opportunity. They glanced at the heads on the table and did not dare to act rashly.

"Are you so powerful?"One of them was obviously not convinced.

"How many people did you send? Don’t you remember?"The masked man glanced at their boss and asked. It was quiet for a moment. None of them dared to take their eyes away from the masked man.

The masked man continued:"You should still have questions at this moment. What is the purpose? It is a warning. , then it has been achieved, and if not, what is it. At the same time, you still have an impulse in your heart, which is very uncomfortable to suppress, but impulse can easily make people get lost. Are you doubting that he can really kill everyone by himself? There should be no such masters in Dongfu Country. The impulse when lost is fatal."

The masked man seemed to see through everyone's thoughts, making the people present tremble in their hearts. They could feel that there was a mysterious power in his tone that was difficult to defeat.

"Let's go together."Someone still shouted.

The masked man saw that there was still wine in the wine glass on the table and said:"Drink it. The wine will make people not feel the pain of death."

"Don't be impulsive."The boss tried to suppress them.

One man picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, but still shouted:"There are many of us, what are you afraid of?……"

Then three people rushed over, and the three fell down before the others could react. They didn't dare to move anymore. They completely believed that the masked man was not alarmist, and their eyes were focused on the boss.

"The weather is about to change, and ordinary people know that when the weather changes, you have to put away your clothes."Masked Man

"What exactly do you want us to do?"The boss has lost his confidence.

"I will give everyone a chance. I gave them the chance. They chose to be impulsive. Since you have seized this opportunity, well, I will tell you what I want to do. From now on, you can no longer help others. Get your clothes ready. People who practice martial arts should work for the benefit of the people and fight for the country."The masked man was about to leave after saying that.

"That's it, where do you want us to go? asked the boss

"I will tell you when the time comes."The masked man disappeared into the night.

They were all martial arts practitioners, and they were very good at martial arts. In order to survive, they took refuge under the Minister of the Ministry of War and became a secret assassin group, specializing in helping the Minister secretly deal with some things they did not want to see again. They also knew that what they did were all evil things. They had doubts. At first, in order to survive, they gradually got used to it and became numb. Who the masked man is is no longer important at this moment. What is important is that he can kill They killed all the people but did not kill them. The heads on the plate on the table told them that a new force had appeared. This force was trying to change the original rules. This force aroused their nature, although there would be greater dangers in the future. , but the conscience deep in their hearts hopes that such a force will be strong. Although they themselves failed to become this force, they saw a real opportunity. What happened in front of them happened too fast, and the remaining people were still there In the midst of the shock, the old man was very calm at the moment and sat down at the table:"Eat, no matter if there is tomorrow or not, after this meal, the old days will be over."

The others were at a loss and could only sit down. The table was much wider and their minds were even emptier. They frowned as they looked at the heads in front of them, the blood splattered on the table, and the still hot food on the table. , dare not move the chopsticks, they have not recovered from the shock.

"What are we afraid of? Aren’t we living by killing people in Shangshu Mansion? Isn’t everything you eat human blood?"The boss was calm. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He looked confused, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

A few people reluctantly picked up the chopsticks. The blood on the wine pot, wine glass and the edge of the plate still made them feel scared. One person asked,"What should we do? The boss looked at them:"

What should we do? Eat, eat, keep eating.""

After seeing the boss eating for a while, another person asked again:"How can we explain it to Master Shangshu?"

"The mission failed, they were prepared and were ambushed."The boss didn't stop using his chopsticks.

"is this okay?"

"It's a fact. Could it be that while we were drinking and eating, a masked man suddenly broke into the Ministry of War Minister's Mansion. We couldn't resist. He killed our people and threw their heads on the plate. We watched him leave in a swagger.. We don’t know that someone has sneaked into the Minister’s Mansion of the Ministry of War. We can’t stop him from killing people. Do you think the Minister will let us go?"The boss said with some anger in his tone.

"Would this be disloyal to the adults?"
