"How could that be?"
Xia He had been on the roof and heard Zhen Jie carrying the woman into the house.
But now not only was there no movement in the room, there was no breathing either.
Xia He took a deep breath to calm his inner restlessness.
Could it be that the man named Zhen was so perceptive that he knew I was coming first, so he ran away?
Xia He climbed over the courtyard wall and landed lightly into the yard.
The yard was quiet and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
The Eight-Step Chasing Cicada technique is extremely exquisite. After achieving a certain level of mastery, the movements will make almost no sound.
"who!"
But there was still a slight noise coming from not far away.
The noise broke the tranquility of the night, and was even mixed with a hint of anger that was difficult to conceal.
"Were you discovered?"
Xia He immediately stopped and looked over there.
"Do you understand the rules? Don't you know that I have taken over the mission here? If you suddenly appear like this and are discovered, who will take the responsibility when we return to the 'building'?"
Hearing this, Xia He was stunned for a moment, and his mind started thinking quickly.
Just as I was full of doubts, a figure quickly jumped out from the darkness.
With the faint moonlight, Xia He could see that the person coming was a thin young man with ordinary looks.
The footwork he performed was exactly the same as the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada that he had just used. It was obvious that he was also an expert in this field.
In just a moment, Xia He narrowed his eyes and his thoughts surged.
Seeing that Xia He did not respond as if he was stunned, the young man's face became increasingly gloomy, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Another idiot!"
Each member of 'Yanyu Tower' has his own duties.
Women like Yang Qing'er usually focus on gathering information. They specialize in the art of light work and are called "Tong Niang".
The young man standing in front of him at this moment was another type of killer - one who specialized in assassinating Qin officials.
Because of his superb skills and ruthless methods, he is called "Renlang".
Xia He looked at the figure in front of him, and his intuition told him that this person had a strong murderous intention!
No matter whether it is "Tong Niang" or "Ren Lang", they are all able to practice the unique light Kung Fu of Yanyu Tower - Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada.
Just now, Du Gu subconsciously identified Xia He as someone in the building by seeing Xia He's light skills.
"You're not talking. Are you dumb?"
However, he did not dwell on this matter too much, but immediately said:
"I have successfully taken the head of this Qin man. According to the rules of our building, the reward belongs to me."
"But since you've come here, I'll give you a share."
"Let's get rid of all the traces here, and then see if there are any letters that Qin people had exchanged with us before, and get rid of them all at once."
"I will take the head back and report back first."
Xia He had not expected that the barbarian assassin would actually appear. Now there was no need to put the blame on others, because Zhen Jie was really killed by the assassin.
The assassin kept muttering and holding the head in his hand with extreme disgust. After a few jumps, he disappeared into the courtyard.
You actually left him here to clean up the mess?
From beginning to end, Xia He didn't say a word.
"He mistook me for the assassin from 'Yanyu Tower'?"
Xia He looked a little strange. After seeing the man leave, he walked into the room.
As expected, there was a shocking pool of blood on the ground, and a headless corpse lying in the pool of blood!
It turned out that the maid that Zhen Jie brought into the room had also been brutally murdered.
"Did this assassin come specifically to kill him?"
Xia He frowned, thought for a moment, and then conducted a thorough search of the room.
Not long after, he found a large number of letters hidden in a cabinet.
Open these letters one by one and read their contents carefully.
After about a cup of tea, the truth finally came to light.
"Was the Great Wall defense map in the hands of the White Crow scouts leaked by someone named Zhen?"
It’s a pity that "White Crow" was killed by him later. The Yanyu Tower may have mistakenly thought that Zhen Jie had betrayed him, so they sent a killer to take Zhen Jie's life.
Although Xia He did not take direct action, to some extent, Zhen Jie's death could be considered as an indirect result of his death.
"It's just that the infiltration of the Misty Rain Tower is a little too terrifying..."
Xia He muttered a few words to himself.
But soon, he calmed down and stopped dwelling on it, and quickly began to count the harvest.
Three thousand taels of silver notes, pearls, agates, and all kinds of valuable property.
I have to say, Zhen Jie is really rich!
“I wonder how much money was taken from the people?”
If the killer hadn't been in a hurry to bring the head back to report, it might not have been his turn.
It’s sent out now!
After this much money is traded on the black market, there will be at least six or seven thousand taels, and then there will be no need to worry about resources for cultivation.
There will be no problem in practicing to the peak of bone refining, maybe I can even start refining my organs!
However, the biggest expectation is not the money, but three items.
To him, it is worth far more than silver!
A prescription for the Three Wonders Body Cleansing Soup.
A supreme martial art of horizontal training, the Vajra horizontal training of the body.
A recipe for brewing wine, which was exactly the one given to Captain Fan at the previous party. It was a medicinal wine for refining the internal organs, Tiger Soul Spirit Wine!
Needless to say, the last two items are both used for cultivation in the Bone Refining Realm.
Perhaps Fan surrendered just for these two items?
"It's good to have many skills. Plus, Overlord Spear Technique has the blessing of horizontal training. After practicing, I can quickly reach the fourth level of bone training!"
