The Golden Age Chapter 772: Keep changing
It's midnight, everything is quiet.
The black-headed eagle sits cross-legged in the room, practicing Qi quietly.
After breaking through the fifth rank last year, this master over half a hundred years old felt that his cultivation level did not seem to be any diligence in the past year. He knew that the martial arts was bumpy, and it would not be easy to advance again, perhaps in his entire life. It may be stagnating at the fifth stage, but there has been no progress, and there is indeed some anxiety in my heart.
Being able to break through to the fifth rank at this age is hopeless for most martial artists, enough to make countless people envy.
Black-headed eagle feels that he is not a talented person, so he has always been diligent in martial arts.
Xia Honing decides to assassinate Qin Xiao tomorrow night. Although the black-headed eagle does not want to do such a sneaky thing, he also understands that if Xia Honing is not forced too hard, it is impossible to use such a method.
Since Xiahouning’s heart is determined, in private, the black-headed eagle really wants to help his own land. As far as the public is concerned, Xiahouning is Master Hou, and all these years have been the rice bowl of Xiahou’s family. There is no reason to refuse.
The black-headed eagle is full of confidence to kill Qin Xiao.
After assassinating Qin Xiao according to the plan tomorrow night, he quickly got away. Naturally, Xia Houning would take care of the rest.
Although Qin Xiao is appreciated by the saints and killing a Dali Temple official in Hangzhou is not a trivial matter, he knows that with Xia Houning's identity and strength, he can easily handle this matter.
I will not leave any traces, so even if people in the world suspect that Qin Xiao's death was behind the scenes of An Xinghou, no one can prove it.
As long as there is no evidence, no one will move a vellus hair in Anxinghou.
During the day, the black-headed eagle will always follow Xiahouning’s guard. At night, the other three Siping guards will lie in ambush around Xiahouning’s residence to ensure the safety of Xiahouning, and the roads around the mansion are blocked. , Surrounded by guards, the black-headed eagle is still very relieved of Xiahouning's safety.
Xia Houning has always respected the black-headed eagle, or said to be very polite. After following Xia Houning these years, Xia Houning has never treated him wrongly.
Even if he stayed here temporarily, Xia Houning also specially made a yard for the black-headed eagle, which also allowed the black-headed eagle to practice exercises at night.
Hearing the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, the black-headed eagle frowned and soon heard someone knock on the door.
He has a cold face.
He is taciturn, and he rarely speaks next to Xiahouning, let alone talk to other people in the army, so he hardly has any friendship with other people in the army. Although the middle-aged general Qiao Ruixin knows that Xiahouning has this A weird old man, but he doesn't know anything about the depth of the old man.
The black-headed eagle knows that the more distance it keeps from people, the more it makes people confused about their own details.
He was very disgusted that someone came to interrupt him during his practice. Although the knock on the door was very light, it still affected the mood of the black-headed eagle.
But I also thought that if there was no urgent matter, other people would not dare to come over easily. Perhaps Xiahouning sent someone to order something. He got up and went over and opened the door, but he saw that it was Xiahouning outside the door. Song, he immediately arched his hands and said: "Master Hou!"
Xia Houning just nodded slightly and walked into the room. The black-headed eagle didn't know what Xia Houning was doing suddenly in the middle of the night, thinking that it must have something to do with the banquet tomorrow night, hesitated, or closed the door.
He just turned around, but he felt a flower in front of him, knowing that something was wrong, and when he kicked his feet, he would retreat, but the opponent's speed was obviously much faster than himself. What's terrible is that the black-headed eagle has no defense against Xiahou. Ning will suddenly attack himself.
He has always been cautious, and will maintain an absolute vigilance in contact with anyone, but in the face of Xia Houning, the vigilance naturally disappears.
Not only because of his close relationship with Xiahouning, but the most important thing is that he knows Xiahouning’s strength very well. With Xiahouning’s martial arts skills, even if it’s unbelievable that he will attack him, he is not himself at all. Opponent.
If Xia Huning really had a murderous intention to himself one day, he would never do it himself. The black-headed eagle knows this very well.
So Xia Houning suddenly shot from behind at this moment, and the black-headed eagle was unexpectedly big. What shocked him was that Xia Houning's shot speed was incredible, and it was absolutely impossible to only be in the Fourth Stage realm.
"Puff!"
A sharp weapon has pierced the black-headed eagle's throat directly between the electric light and flint, and penetrated through the neck. The black-headed eagle's eyes burst out, but the moment the blade pierced his throat, his palms were still struggling. The other party shoots.
The opponent made a hit, and before the black-headed eagle's palms were shot, it floated backwards.
The black-headed eagle wanted to shout, but the throat was pierced by a sharp blade, and it couldn't make a sound at all.
But he already understood at this moment that the person in front of him could never be Xia Houning.
He accompanies Xia Houning all day long. He is too clear about Xia Houning's cultivation base, and the person in front of him can never lose his cultivation base, and he may not be able to beat the opponent in a face-to-face confrontation. Now the opponent pretends to be Xiahou. Ning made a sudden shot from behind, and naturally it was a hit.
The opponent's shot is determined and ruthless, without mercy.
He shot his palms out, but was easily dodged by the opponent, and was so easily attacked by the opponent. The black-headed eagle was really unwilling to turn around, and his throat roared like a dying beast, and his right palm was fierce. The ground slapped on the door with a "bang", and the door had flown straight out and landed in the yard.
At this time, the man behind had already bullied himself again, slapped the black-headed eagle's back with a palm, and the black-headed eagle "poofed" a mouthful of blood, staggered forward two steps, and then moved forward. Fell to the ground.
Everything soon became abnormally calm.
It was just that the door flew out, but it still alarmed a group of patrolmen passing by outside the courtyard.
The mansion is heavily guarded, with several teams of soldiers patrolling back and forth.
The patrol soldier was not far from the black-headed eagle's yard. Hearing the sound from the yard, it seemed that something was hitting the ground heavily. They were all surprised. Someone pointed to the yard and said, "There is movement there, do you want to." .... Would you like to go over and take a look?"
The others are afraid to speak.
A few people know that there is a strange old man next to Lord Hou in the yard. The old man is so gloomy that he is not good at first sight. On weekdays, these guards will walk around when they see a black-headed eagle.
Now there is a strange sound coming from the old man’s yard, which makes people suspicious.
"Don't be surprised." Someone whispered: "We can't offend him. If we offend, there will be no good fruit."
Everyone nodded with the same thoughts.
The leader frowned. Although he didn’t like that weird old man, it’s okay if nothing happened tonight. In case something really happened in the yard, even if an assassin sneaked in, he would avoid checking it. I can't keep my head.
He didn't talk nonsense, and said coldly: "Come with me!" Leading a few soldiers to the outside of the courtyard, he hesitated, stretched out his hand and pushed the door, and found that the courtyard door was tied from the inside, so he could only knock on the door. .
Nothing happens in the hospital.
"Me
We hear sounds inside, do you need help? "The leader said cautiously.
There is still no response in the hospital.
The team leader faintly felt that something was wrong. He increased his strength and knocked again, but there was still no response. Someone behind him couldn't help but said: "Would you like to step in from the courtyard wall and take a look?"
The leader turned around and said: "You turn in."
The soldier smiled awkwardly and drew back.
Just kidding, there is a strange old man living in this yard. Without the permission of the strange old man, he went over the wall and entered his yard. Isn't that dying?
The team leader knocked on the door again, the yard was still silent, and could only say: "I'll report to Lord Hou, you are waiting here...!" I was about to report, but I heard a "crunch" , The courtyard door suddenly opened, and a strange old man in a gray-brown shirt stood behind the door, looking very strange.
These soldiers are responsible for guarding this mansion. They have naturally seen black-headed eagles on weekdays, and their clothes are the same as usual. In the dimness, the eyes of the strange old man are very cold.
How many people dare to take another look, they all bowed their heads, and the leader bowed and said: "Sir, I just heard movement in the yard. I wonder if there is anything we can do for you?"
"I'm practicing." The old strange man said in a low voice.
"Yes, yes!" The leader hurriedly said: "I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Don't be surprised, Mr." This led people to retreat quickly.
The old man sneered at the corner of his lips as he watched the patrol leave.
The next day before dawn, Xia Houning got up early in Anxinghou. He did this every day. He would get up before dawn to practice exercises. If there is no special situation, he would almost never stop.
Although he was born rich and distinguished, his talent in martial arts is not too high.
However, being able to break into the 4th Rank Middle Heaven Realm at this age is not a small achievement for ordinary warriors.
But Xia Houning was very dissatisfied with this.
He thinks he is the pride of heaven, and he must surpass everyone else in every aspect.
However, martial arts talent is never what he wants to have. His only way is to study hard and practice hard, hoping to make up for the lack of talent with hard work.
Knowing that Xia Huning only received the work at breakfast, and when the next person would deliver it earlier, Xia Huning noticed something was wrong. During these days in Hangzhou, Xia Huning usually asked a black-headed eagle to accompany him for breakfast, and this At that time, the black-headed eagle will come to his side consciously.
But at this time, the black-headed eagle was not seen.
He knew that the black-headed eagle was a very regular person, and suddenly he was uncharacteristically, obviously abnormal.
Xiahou Ning sent someone over to invite the black-headed eagle to get rid of Qin Xiao, who he hates so much, but nothing goes wrong.
The person sent did not invite the black-headed eagle, but brought a note: "Master Hou, this is a note on the table in the house. It seems to be for Master Hou."
Xia Houning frowned, and took the note. There were a few words written neatly on it: "Plan ahead, take a shot at the right time, and hit a hit!" No money was left. Xia Houning frowned first, but soon brows. Stretch out.
The black-headed eagle obviously has its own plan. Perhaps he has gone to the three-in-one building to step on an ambush. He has absolute confidence in the strength of the black-headed eagle.
Xia Houning put down the sticky note and picked up the chopsticks, feeling very happy. Today's breakfast seems to be more flavorful than usual.
