Chapter 258 An ancient village in the mountains, full of dark shadows
The huge mountain shadow suddenly covered the bright moon above the head, and the eyes suddenly became dark.
A figure rushed into the dark mountain shadow in an instant, and she couldn't help but stumble in her steps.
With a sound of "Duo", the extremely sharp long arrow had rubbed her neck and shot hard into the rock and soil in front of her, trembling non-stop.
The figure paused for a moment, but the next moment, she was like a cheetah, rushing forward diagonally.
"Duoduoduo" several long arrows in succession swept past her side at the same time, and then plunged into the rock and soil in front of her.
Without even looking at the figure, she rushed forward quickly, because behind her, the sounds of chasing footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Although her speed was very fast, in this short period of time, she had already taken a small rest through regular breathing.
The next moment, she had rushed out of the dark mountain shadow. The moment she rushed out, her speed suddenly exploded, followed by several sharp arrows, all of which shot into the air.
Li Xuan stood on the top of the peak and looked at it with cold eyes.
Under the bright moonlight, the face of the fast-running figure was finally clear, and the figure was strong and strong. This person was clearly the true immortal Taoist female sect spirit who had fled here from the West Lake.
Although there was dirt and grass clippings everywhere on her body at this time, and even the night jacket around her arms and waist had been scratched several times, fortunately, there were no obvious wounds on her body.
There were just a few bloodstains.
However, Zong Ling couldn't even take a breath for a moment, as more long black arrows shot out from behind again, very sharply.
For a moment, Zong Ling seemed to be in the middle of an endless stream of arrows. If anything went wrong, his fate would be ruined.
But at critical moments, Zong Ling could always twist his body strangely, and in the blink of an eye he had avoided numerous killing arrows.
The man jumped forward suddenly and dodged the sharp arrow from behind.
The sharp arrow suddenly stopped, Zong Ling did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately ran forward quickly.
She knew that this was just the archer chasing after him relaxing his arm strength while preparing for the next round of shooting.
At this moment, the sweaty Zong Ling's eyes lit up, she stamped her steps fiercely, and the next moment, she had already rushed out of the mountain road.
Ahead, a courtyard with four entrances covering an area of more than ten acres suddenly appeared in front of it.
Zong Ling didn't even think about it and rushed towards the manor faster.
In the manor, someone also noticed Zong Ling's appearance at this time. A young man wearing a gray robe immediately came out to respond, but just as he rushed out of the courtyard, a cold arrow suddenly came from behind Zong Ling.
It came over and penetrated his throat in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, his steps stopped and blood rushed out of his throat.
Zong Ling who rushed from the opposite side was sprayed with blood in the face in an instant, but the next moment, Zong Ling had rushed past the man in gray and rushed into the villa opposite in the blink of an eye.
He didn't even glance at him.
With a "bang", the figure fell to the ground, and what remained in his pupils was Zong Ling's cold and ruthless face.
Standing on the top of the peak, Li Xuan calmly looked at the manor in the distance.
He clearly saw the image of Zong Ling rushing into the manor coldly, and also clearly saw the Hangzhou Prefecture police officers chasing after him. He stopped and looked at the manor in the distance, with hesitant eyes.
.
Perhaps for many people who have never been to this villa, they have no idea what this place is, but for local snakes who know everything around Hangzhou Prefecture, there are many secrets inside and outside, inch by inch.
They know all the taboos and taboos clearly.
Not to mention that the relative owner of this manor is half their boss.
The city gate captain controls the thirteen city gates in Hangzhou. The gate captains guarding each city gate are from the ninth rank. There are also deputy city gate captains from the eighth rank. The city gate captains of Hangzhou City are even more senior.
It is an official position from the seventh rank, equivalent to the middle and lower county magistrate, and the capital county magistrate, and should not be underestimated.
Even one or two of the policemen and soldiers who were chasing him had been here before.
At this moment, Li Xuan stepped forward slightly, turned around suddenly, and stared at Du Liu who had just taken a few steps forward.
For a time, no one knew how many people were staring at Du Liu at the same time, overtly or covertly, and some even had their hands on the handle of the knife.
Du Liu smiled reluctantly, then cupped his hands towards Li Xuan and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask or not."
"Since the young master has already spoken, is there anything else that should be asked or not asked? Just ask, young master." Li Xuan looked at Du Liu calmly.
Du Liu felt regretful and asked suddenly, but she still had the courage to ask: "Your Majesty, why should I set off later, but I came here first. Does it mean that Your Majesty already knows where this place is?"
"Young master seems not to be familiar with this method of handling cases," Li Xuan pointed at the Hangzhou Prefecture detectives and police officers who stopped at the foot of the mountain, and said calmly: "Although the killer knew the destination in advance, he did not dare to go straight to it.
She came here, so even when she was being chased, she had to take several detours to get here, but we are different. When she made the detour, we had already locked the location here on the map."
Li Xuan took a step forward slightly, pointed to the mountain road at the bottom of the mountain and said: "Sir, please see, there is only this manor in this entire area, so as long as you have a rough idea, you can find it. I'll wait for the carriage ride."
Slow, but faster than the killer who is constantly being chased."
"That's it." Du Liu looked astonished, looked at Li Xuan with a hint of reverence, and said with cupped hands, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up the confusion."
Li Xuan waved her hand slightly, not caring, and turned to look to the other side. Qiu Zhenmu immediately took a step forward: "Let the guards in the mansion disperse further and occupy a high point of sight within three or four miles. Once discovered,
Don't take action, send a message immediately."
"Here!" Qiu Zhenmu immediately handed over his hands, then turned and left.
Li Xuan turned around again and looked at Su Yu, a member of the Hangzhou Fa Cao army who had come with them, and said calmly: "Brother Su, I'm afraid it will take a while for Brother Yuan to get here. Please go down and order the agents to occupy the surrounding area."
At the high point, prepare rockets and fire attacks at any time. In addition, please ask Brother Su to find someone to go to the villa to shout and tell them that the people inside are suspected of treason. If they can abandon their weapons and surrender, they will avoid death. Otherwise, they will be shot to death.
.”
Su Yu's face twitched, his eyes quickly swept over Su Baotong's body, and then he raised his hand to Li Xuan: "I obey the order."
Su Yu turned around and walked down the mountain, quickly meeting up with his police officers.
Li Xuan looked back at the manor down the mountain. At this time, the manor was already in chaos.
Guards, maids, servants, all running around, not knowing what happened or what to do for a moment?
Li Xuan took a deep breath. Kui Gong just said that this is the manor of a relative of Hangzhou Chengmen School Captain Jin Ji's family.
But in Li Xuan's view, this place is basically Jin Ji's villa, and relatives are just trying to fool outsiders.
Although the behind the scenes suddenly became clear, I couldn't help but feel doubts in my heart.
The city gate captain is in charge of the thirteen city gates in Hangzhou. Although his official position is low, his position is very important.
Although the tax collectors at the city gate were subordinates of Hu Cao, the city gate guards also had their own ways to make money.
There is already a lot of oil and water in normal times, not to mention that he is also involved in the city defense and security of Hangzhou City.
However, once one night, the city gate of Hangzhou suddenly opens, and the Tianyin Sect elites who have been prepared for a long time enter quietly, then in a very short time, they can quickly occupy the entire Hangzhou.
When the people in the city woke up in the morning, the whole Hangzhou had changed its color.
If the Tianyin Sect really takes down City Gate School Captain Jin Ji, then they will have an excellent head start in future uprisings.
At this time, the last thing they need to do is expose the gold scheme.
What they need to do is to cut off all connections with Jin Ji very early on, and all the clues they have had must be cut off.
But what they were doing now made Li Xuan feel puzzled. Not only did these people from the Tianyin Sect not cut off their contact with Jin Ji, they even asked Wu Shengzhen to teach him two things at a sensitive time when Li Xuan was in Hangzhou.
The killer moved directly into the manor of Jin Ji's relative.
Either those people were really stupid and didn't expect Li Xuan's quick movements, or the people from the Tianyin Sect had other plans.
Jin Ji may not be one of theirs at all, and what they are doing now is nothing more than wanting to borrow Li Xuan's hand and replace him with someone who is truly one of their own.
Everything is still undecided, and more evidence and information are needed to support everything.
"Listen, people in the village, there is someone among you who is harboring rebellion. If you don't want to rebel and sit down, come out and surrender immediately."
Amid the shouts, the footsteps of the people who were running around in the courtyard immediately stopped.
Li Xuan's eyes swept over them, and finally landed behind the gate of the third courtyard. An entry had already popped up.
[Wang Chao, deputy master of the Wanxiang Pavilion, is in the middle stage of the Mysterious Embryo Realm. He is timid and retreats when faced with danger. He is greedy and advances when faced with profit. 】
A slight sneer appeared on the corner of Li Xuan's mouth.
What a fool. Do you really think you can find a chance to assassinate him by doing this? You are really too naive.
Li Xuan turned to look at Qiu Zhenmu on one side, and a dozen Qianniu Guards in red clothes and golden armor immediately took a step forward silently.
The silent blade unsheathes!
I want to use ghost characters to write a lot, but I am afraid that the ghost characters will not pass the test. It is not a clickbait.
