Sealing Sword Chapter 163: The sound of wind

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of the sealing knife!

At the beginning of the day, Yanming City prefect Xing Da, guard Lu Wei, and the heads of the battalions have already met in the chamber. Even the other six cities in Xichuan were not absent, and everyone looked very solemn.

There is no other reason, it's dead.

In the border area, birth, old age, sickness and death is an uncommon thing, but this time it has attracted the whole city's rich and powerful to gather together because there are two unusual things-the identity of the deceased and his method of death.

Dai Xiucheng was assassinated and his head was in a different place.

He was a person brought by "Chu Yao" from Garan City. He assisted his commander’s secret guards, in charge of spy searches in the city and intelligence spying outside the customs. It was also the occasion that "Chu Yao" did not show up. He acted to deal with it, and it was regarded as the opponent's right-hand man. At this critical juncture, not to mention Lu Wei, even Xing Da, who is usually above the top, valued this person very much.

However, yesterday it was discovered that the spies had sneaked out of the city’s defense plan for the seven cities. "Chu Yao" personally led the guards to track down and kill them. Now the night has passed, the guards have all turned around, but the leader, "Chu Yao" is missing. No trace, even the news came back.

This person has a special identity, and he bears the name of the shadow guard. In any case, he is closely related to the emperor. Besides, the situation is different now. He must never make mistakes. Therefore, Lu Wei waited three minutes to see no one in Yinshi, so he personally came to Dai Xiucheng in his clothes and lantern, only to find that the other party had been assassinated in the house.

When the corpse was found, Dai Xiucheng was still sitting on the desk, maintaining a stiff posture of holding a pen, but there were no ink marks on the white paper, only a large dense blood-red writing.

His neck is empty, his head is missing, the fracture is smooth and flat, which is clearly the work of a sharp weapon, and the splash of blood drags a long red iris on the back screen.

At that moment, the lantern in Lu Wei's hand fell to the ground and spontaneously ignited, his eyes tightened, cold behind his back.

To cut off the top level, in addition to sharp swords and soldiers, it also requires amazing strength and ingenious techniques. Moreover, Dai Xiucheng has no traces of struggling and fighting on his body, and the corners of his clothes are very flat. It is clear that he was completely absent when he was writing. He severed his head ominously, so fast that he didn't even start the guard outside by the wall.

However, on the day that Dai Xiucheng first arrived, Lu Wei fought against him. This man is not weak in martial arts, and he is better at lurking shadows. It is not easy to kill him within a single sword.

Unless the murderer is someone he knows, and martial arts are far better than him.

Just as Lu Wei was frightened, another patrol camp hurried over, and Yandao found Dai Xiucheng's head in the chamber.

The head was wrapped in a black cloth and placed on a round elm wood table. After Lu Wei opened it himself, the first thing he saw was Dai Xiucheng’s unsatisfied eyes. What was even more frightening was that his mouth was open, but there was no tongue inside. , There is only one gold ingot stained with blood.

Cut off the tongue, he said something that shouldn't be said; put the ingot, it was the money to buy his life.

If it's just an assassination, why bother to do so and put the head in a special place like the Chamber?

Lu Wei changed his mind and hurried back to Dai Xiucheng’s room. He picked up the blood-stained rice paper and the shocking thousand-character essay on it. It turned out to be Dai Xiucheng’s crimes of collaborating with the enemy, traitor, and false loyalty. Together with the secret piles and false names made by his subordinates, they are all presented, and the method of verification is written in every column. The inscription has no name and no surname, and only a small hook.

Guangying has always done things secretly, but since the founding of Chu, no one who should know will fail to recognize this deadly hook.

After Lu Wei was shocked, he was furious.

He hurriedly sent people to verify one by one according to the facts stated in the blood book, and at the same time notified the major powers in the city and the six cities to gather in the chamber, discussing Dai Xiucheng's head and this blood book.

As the discussion deepened, the people who had verified it turned back to report one after another. After listening to this pile of things, they realized that Yanming City had already penetrated so many nails invisibly. The people who had thought they were credible actually As early as secretly fornicating with aliens, opening the door to them, and accepting money as false evidence, and even more so that the name of customs clearance was changed privately.

Of course, these underground pickles should not be exposed. For a long time, the hidden piles are strictly classified and cautious, just like a chain buckle. If something goes wrong, the whole chain will be broken instantly, making people want to follow the vines and touch melons. They can’t be removed unless they catch the buckle with a single blow. Bring out the whole thing.

This lock is Dai Xiucheng.

Glance is the dark guard of the emperor, who has been active in the Tianjing, Northern Xinjiang, and Dongling areas for a long time, and has a little control over Xichuan and Zhongdu. Until recent years, Chu Ziyu and Jiang Muxue, the lord of Dark Feather, reached a consensus that the dark feather splitting forces guard Xichuan and fill up the loopholes in the border defense forces of the country. Although the reputation is smaller than the glimpse, it is more convenient to do things. Not to mention covering the entire Xichuan, but also widening his eyes and ears, he is very comfortable with these spy wars.

The two people sitting in the shadow of Xichuan, one is Yingshou and the other is Dai Xiucheng.

Yingxiu is a disciple of Jiang Muxue, but he used to travel in the field for a long time, and he was transferred to Xichuan only this year. All matters before this have been handed over to Dai Xiucheng's hands, even if others are not in Garan. The eyes and ears can also send all kinds of information between his five fingers.

Such a high-powered person has everything that he has, why would he be a stranger?

Lu Wei can't figure it out, nor can Kun nineteen.

However, he witnessed the sudden change in the wilderness, saw Seridan appear, and got the clues on the mountain wall. Even if he couldn't figure it out, he had to rush back to Yanming City to start the raiding forces to investigate the matter.

Although Dark Feather cooperates with the emperor, he is more oriented towards politics than the court, and is still very clear from the glimpse. The two never interfere with each other's actions. Therefore, even if the glimpse dark pile in Yanming City finds any clues, it will not be possible for a while The more I went on behalf of him, after Dai Xiucheng's kiss came here, Glimpse had to avoid the other party even more to avoid multiple suspicions.

However, there are things that are seamless when there is no doubt. Once you are determined to investigate, you can find many flaws that are usually ignored.

Just when Ugly arrived, Kun XIX had a half-finger secret letter piled up in front of him. He saw it at a glance and ten lines. The turbulent waves in his heart turned into monstrous anger, and he was disdainful of the dark feather leader who had never met before. Italian——

The imperial authority is not strict.

Thinking about this, Kun XIX was not ready to kill Dai Xiucheng directly. He planned to kidnap him for interrogation first. Maybe he could pry out more things. I didn’t expect him to just sneak into Dai Xiucheng’s house. Someone came to visit late at night.

That is a woman, a beautiful woman.

The half-shouldered snow silk skirt can't conceal the graceful figure. From the skirt of the skirt, a pair of slender and straight legs, white as jade, embroidered silk shoes under one foot, and a string of octagonal bells hanging from an ankle. .

She came in from the window, moving as light as a swallow, walking slowly or slowly, but the bell on her feet never rang. If it were not for the candlelight to reflect the shadow on the wall, Kun Nineteen thought it was a folklore The beautiful and moving female ghost in this.

However, the moment Dai Xiucheng saw her, his face changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost.

The woman holds a knife in each hand, the left is long and the right is short. The hilt of the knife is carved with Luanfeng. Looking at Dai Xiucheng's frightened face, she did not speak, but smiled slightly, her smile brighter than candlelight, shaking flowers Human eyes.

Dai Xiucheng makes good use of hidden weapons. There are no less than 20 hidden weapons hidden in his body. The four treasures of the study on the table and the drawers under the table also hide usable things. The moment a woman laughs, his hand Having touched the pen holder, all the brushes inside shook off, and the bottom layer suddenly separated, revealing a hidden compartment full of poisonous needles, and aimed at the woman.

Unfortunately, the poison needle hasn't pierced the air yet, and the long knife has already come.

Kun XIX has only seen this kind of knife in the hands of one person, but that person has become a "dead person."

Pina is shocking, like a dragon, fast and unmatched, returning with blood.

Dai Xiucheng died. He severed his head with a knife. The head was held in the hand by the woman and there was no sound. The blood was still warm. However, except for the red splash on the screen at the moment of the knife, all the rest followed the broken mouth 汨汨Flowing, dirtying the desktop and floor, but not spreading to the window paper wall, so as not to attract the attention of outsiders.

She was holding the **** head, a little disgusted, but suddenly raised her head to look at Kun Jiu's hiding place. She never spoke, but Kun Jiu heard a soft voice in her ears: "Lang Jun , Nu Jia Yingxiu, Xijing is afraid of blood stains in his life, so come out and help take it, okay?"

The word "Yingxiu" is like a fragrant girl leaning on a railing. The wind is blowing with green silk, and the fragrant sleeve is dark. The woman Kun XIX saw is indeed worthy of this name.

He was shocked that there was only one woman named "Yingxiu" in the world who could have such a skill and sword skill that made Dai Xiu become so jealous—the real master of Nishikawa Anyu.

Seeing Kun’s nineteen refusal, Yingxiu’s voice transmission sounded again, still soft and charming, but a bit more taunting: "What? A glimpse of the shadows, now I only dare to be a gentleman of Liangshang who hides his head and reveals his tail? Gu Xiao has trained you for ten years and taught Have such a bunch of cowards?"

Kun Nineteen twisted his eyebrows, but it was not irritated by her. It was a place of right and wrong not to stay for long. Instead of entangled with her, it would be better to get out of this place before responding.

As soon as he thought of this, he didn't say much. He turned over and picked up the head in Yingshou's hand. He tore his coat to wrap it up to prevent the blood from showing up, and then he left the scene one after another.

Yingxiu is in front and Kun Jiu is behind. Seeing her avoiding the patrol camp and heading to the chamber, Kun Jiu's suspicion is even greater, but he can't find a chance to speak. After arriving in the hall and confirming that there was no one around, Ying Xiu took the head and broke his chin, used a short knife to pick out Dai Xiucheng’s tongue and cut off the roots, and then stuffed a gold ingot into it. Asked softly: "Why?"

"Dark Feather Rules-Those who accept treasures and leak secrets, cut their tongues with a sharp blade, and seal their mouths with gold and silver, are inexcusable." Yingxiu's figure looked like a ghost in the dark chamber, and she explained it indifferently. After that, he turned over and went out, Kun XIX closely followed.

They went all the way to "Dukangfang" in the east of the city.

As the name suggests, the shop here is a liquor business. The owner is originally from Tanglin. There is a sea market, logistics and distribution, and it is the capital of great Chu wine. Naturally, it is quite knowledgeable. There are many varieties of wine in Dukangfang, the fineness and taste are excellent, and the price is not expensive. It is more than a little bit more kind than many black heart restaurants. The business has always been very good. Every time the curfew closes, there are still people who are not happy.

But when Kun XIX arrived here, there was a thin layer of sweat behind him-Du Kangfang, which was the stronghold of Anyu in Yanming City.

Seeing the woman pushing the door in, there is no doubt about Yingsiu's identity, but Kun XIX's hand holding the knife tightened.

The distillery has long been closed. When they entered, they saw a few lights like beans in the hall. The tables, chairs and benches were lined up neatly, but there were a dozen people **** with twine on them. Naked and bruised, one of them was even the owner of the wine shop.

These are all of Dai Xiucheng's cronies, and they are also the nails for him to find news in Yanming City.

While he was still hesitating to make decisions due to clues, Ying Xiu had already drastically dug out this tarsus maggot and took it down mercilessly. Many people have not yet reacted, they have become beasts to be slaughtered under the sword, tied and held here by the big five flowers, but they have seen Yingshou who had never dreamed of appearing here.

She went to ask Zen Mountain when she returned to the news report? How did you avoid the eyes and ears of the guard posts along the way, and come here quietly? After leaving these days, how did she know that Dai Xiucheng had been collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and how did she know which party members he had under her?

All kinds of questions filled my mind. Kun XIX's previous disdain for Dark Feather arising from Dai Xiucheng's matter disappeared at this moment.

The subordinates who stayed here knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Return to the lord, everyone on the list is here except for the first sin!"

"Well done, let people guard the surrounding area and don't let a fly in."

Yingxiu lifted the skirt, sat on the chair with her legs up, and poured two cups of tea from the pot. One of them was thrown in the air and fell firmly in Kun XIX's hands without even a drop of water spilled out:" Please sit down."

Kun Nineteen glanced at these people, Yiyan sat down and took a sip of tea: "Zunjia, it should be the girl with a sleeve."

Yingxiu smiled like a flower: "Slaves are not talented, how do you call the unknown man?"

Kun Nineteen: "There is no name here, just call me'nineteen'."

After a pause, Kun XIX asked: "Girl Yingshou is acting tonight, but I am confused."

"It is the slave's fault that the imperial control is not strict and breeds worms." Yingxiu smiled slightly, "Nineteen suspects, but I know too much."

Kun Nineteen's heart stunned.

The green onion-like fingers on the sleeves rubbed the teacup, and the original flawless white porcelain cup wall silently spread dense cracks, like a spider web, but never leaked a drop of water.

She remembered the meeting with Ye Fusheng before she left Garan City——

"Want me to help Sun Minfeng and the others ask about Zen Mountain?"

"No, I want you to go with him."

Hearing Ye Fusheng’s words, Ying Xiu frowned: “Knowing that the city of Garan is full of dangers, but you want me to ask Chan Mountain? There are so many heroes there, even if the Soul Burial Palace falls out, it’s only a loss for both sides. , I’m taking people over at this time, it doesn’t make much difference."

Ye Fusheng smiled slightly: "It's really useless to ask about Zen Mountain, but... if you stay in Garan City, it will be very unfavorable to the situation."

"What do you mean?"

"There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys can be the king." Ye Fusheng shook his head, "Yingxiu, you are the master of Nishikawa Anyu. Although you are not exposed, you are already a living target in the dark. You should know you. People who have had their eyes on you for a long time, if you stay here, the crisis will be in the dark every day."

The pupils in the sleeves shrank.

Dark Feather sits in Xichuan. In this eventful season, many people are enemies with her, but not many people will be lurking because of her presence, unless the opponent’s handle or shortcoming is held by her. In the hand, or she has absolute suppression ability.

"You... suspect that the people around me have problems?"

Ye Fusheng asked, "Have you never doubted it?"

Yingxiu suddenly fell silent.

There has been such a big change in Garan City, even involving foreign races in the southwest. The news from Yanming City at the border is very limited. Most of them are insignificant normal reports. A few valuable things are also ignored. Yu closed his eyes and listened.

Intelligence is the lifeblood of the spy. When the danger has been completed but there is still no match, it can only show that you have become a **** in the game.

An Yu has been rooted in Nishikawa for several years, but Yingshou’s dispatch is only this year's matter. The power has not been handed over, and how many secrets are intertwined. She has the intention to rectify, but the rat generation hidden in it is very cunning. She didn't reveal the actual footwork, so that she could not act rashly.

Yingxiu needs an opportunity, and Ye Fusheng can give her this opportunity.

"If you make arrangements, you will say that you have reached a conspiracy with the Baiguimen, and you are going to ask Chanshan to help them and temporarily hand over the affairs of their subordinates to others..." After a pause, Ye Fusheng narrowed his eyes, "Who do you most doubt? , Whoever delegates authority to it, if the cat smells fishy smell, how can there be any reason not to steal food?"

Ying Xiu's heart moved, and he hesitated: "Dark Yu has already opened a big net in Xichuan. Once I let go, if I make a mistake, it will be difficult to deal with it!"

"As soon as you leave, part of the eyes and ears of the caring person will follow you, and the plot against Garan City will be intensified. I will take the opportunity to eat this land down. With this back door, I will be guarded. It’s a fallout.” Ye Fusheng said lightly, “If I’m not wrong, if the people behind do not want to suffer from the enemy, they must do both. Asking Chanshan must have a conspiracy. It’s not easy to go there. We will reunite in a small way and gather the strength of the two of you to break the situation and return to help. Maybe it is still a strange army."

Yingxiu asked: "What should I do about the pass over there?"

"You want'Chu Yao', I promised to give it to you. Naturally, I will go there in person. After all, how can I catch a big fish without bait?" Ye Fusheng rubbed his umbrella handle with his fingers, his tone was cold. "The old Ministry of Jing Wang, sooner or later is a hidden danger to be solved, not to mention that those spies have been fed for so many years and have been full of fat in their brains. Are they still left for the New Year if they are not slaughtered?"

"You clearly know that if'Chu Yao' reappears in the world, then..."

"Yingxiu, I'm going to be more suitable than him." Ye Fusheng slowed down, "You want to use him, but you can't trust him. Wouldn't it mean that you will hurt your manpower and work in vain? In the end, it will not be worth the loss." /

Yingxiu squeezed his fists, and listened to him: "What's more, now that Dark Feather is afraid of internal troubles, Hundred Ghosts are not involved in government affairs. To solve the intelligence and eyes of the border, the most suitable way is to activate the glimpse. I know them best."

"...I will leave people who I trust everywhere, and cooperate with you in the action, pay attention to lock the people who have changed, and would rather kill by mistake."

After a long while, Ying Xiu finally let go: "Once the question about Zen Mountain is over, I will rush to Yanming City to meet you. If I dare to turn my elbows outwards, I will chop one if there is one, I will definitely not fall into the dark feather. Ancestral training."

"Okay." Ye Fusheng put the umbrella in her hand, eyebrows crooked, "When you arrive in Yanming City, don't rush to show your face, first solve the protruding rape, follow the vine and touch the melons to make no mistakes, and then try to match the glimpse Going online... after all, it is the same. No matter how clear it is, it still has to be twisted into a rope in front of the overall situation. With their help, you can let go of your hands and feet to get military and political support, and you can make up their shortcomings and coordinate the whole Nishikawa’s eyes and ears."

"...I know." Yingxiu's eyes suddenly became sour, "What you said is good, I understand, but what do you... do?"

Ye Fusheng shook his head and smiled: "Of course I will take care of myself, and wait for you to come and meet inside and outside."

"But..."

"No, but I won't be okay." Ye Fusheng put his fingers in front of his lips, smiled, his eyes softened the cold rain and the cold wind, and said softly, "My apprentice, my favorite I cried...how am I willing to?"
