Infinite Script Killing
Chapter 336 A knock on the door in the middle of the night
Leader Zhou and the others enjoyed the food very well. They had been exhausted on the road these past few days. Seeing that Xu Tong and the little father-in-law didn't like to eat, he took the initiative to stop the patrol work in the first half of the night and let them have a good rest, so they felt more at ease.
In fact, Team Leader Zhou originally wanted to let Young Master Ma have a good night's rest, but now that Young Master Ma has spoken, Team Leader Zhou no longer insists.
After a while, Team Leader Zhou was already full of wine and food. They ate all the rotten meat in the pot, returned to the room and fell asleep.
After a while, you can hear snoring in the house. It seems that they have been traveling for the past two days and are indeed exhausted.
At night the two set up a bonfire in the yard.
Xu Tong didn't know where he took out two apples and threw them to Li Xi. After adding some firewood to the campfire, he asked Li Xi what happened this time and where he was going.
Li Xi picked up the apple and took a bite. He looked back at Yang Gongjing's room behind him, lowered his voice and whispered in a voice that the two of them could hear: "I don't know the specifics. I just said that there were people near the Yellow River Mountains." It’s evil, I want Qintian Supervisor to investigate quickly.”
Li Xi said this in a evasive way, obviously not daring to tell the truth.
Xu Tong nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He turned to ask about other things, such as whether the divination that Li Xi made at his door that day was accurate, and whether he wanted to give them another divination to see if this was the case. What is the result of the trip?
Li Xi even laughed, saying that he was just joking and couldn't be serious.
But I was speechless for a while. His words were not gold-plated words. They were actually a kind of evil magic. They looked like gold-tongued words, but in fact they were used to steal people's luck. In the end, they were defeated by Mr. Ma. Not to mention how depressed I felt.
Li Xi didn't want to say much on this topic, so he changed his tone and said, "It's nothing if I just try some tricks. On the contrary, Mr. Ma really impressed our family."
"Oh! How do you say this?" Xu Tong asked pretending to be surprised.
"There are many criticisms of the young master in the capital, saying that you are greedy for women and drinking. However, after two or three days' journey, the young master is seen to be exhausted. It can be seen that the rumors are often false, and the young master is actually a hero."
Li Xi's words seemed to be flattering, but in fact they were further testing Xu Tong.
Unfortunately, Li Xi didn't know that Xu Tong had already typed up the draft on the way here. When he heard this, his expression suddenly darkened and he threw a piece of firewood into the bonfire.
The firelight shone on his face, giving this delicate face a hint of sophistication and composure that was inconsistent with his age.
"What do you think of me and Xiang Keding?"
His voice was hoarse and low, seeming to be full of helplessness and anger. Li Xi thought for a moment and said: "The Xiang family is at the peak of its power now. Even before Xiang Gongbao comes back, the decree has already arrived. The position of the Chief Minister of Military and Aircraft is already confirmed. This young man is naturally one of the best among men."
"Humph, since he is a dragon and a phoenix among men, who am I?" Xu Tong's face was full of gloom.
"this……"
Li Xi seemed to understand something.
"So what if my father takes the position of Co-ordinator of the Forbidden Army? After all, he is still the Xiang family's dog. If I am not useless, how can the Xiang family rest assured that my father can take the position of Co-ordinator of the Forbidden Army?"
After Xu Tong finished speaking, he looked sideways at Li Xi, his eyes becoming sharp: "Do you know why I told you this?"
Li Xi's scalp numbed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He had been hiding in the palace for two years, and he had seen many murderous methods in the palace. Years of vigilance made him look sharply at the apple in his hand. .
"Don't worry, I don't mean to harm you. I'm just telling you this because you are so similar to that friend of mine."
Xu Tong's expression softened, he took out a banana, unhurriedly opened the banana peel, put it in his mouth and ate it, with a slightly nostalgic look on his brows.
"friend?"
This was the second time Li Xi heard Ma Hongwen say this, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Who is that friend of yours..."
"Hehe, it's a coincidence that when he and I met, it was also in such a dark night." Xu Tong narrowed his eyelids, took out a bottle of wine and handed it to Li Xi's hand.
"Is there such a coincidence?" Li Xi said with pretended surprise on his face as he took the drink.
The two touched each other lightly. Xu Tong took a sip and put down the glass, sighing: "A pot of turbid wine, a disagreement, swordsmen meeting each other, and I narrowly won by half a move."
"Hiss! It's like we don't know each other without fighting." Li Xi nodded, then continued to ask: "Then that time and that moment."
Xu Tong shook the drink in his hand: "It's just at this moment."
"So similar?" Li Xi was shocked.
"Like, very similar, but you lack one thing than him."
"What is it?"
After Li Xi finished speaking, his face suddenly turned cold, and he cursed himself for being stupid. Why did he ask this question? What else is missing? Isn't it just a missing leg? What, can you still reattach it for me?
However, Xu Tong seemed to know what Li Xi was thinking, patted him on the shoulder and said: "You are too timid, my friend is much bolder."
Li Xi's face suddenly looked better after hearing this, knowing that this was both a way to win over him and a test of himself.
When they were about to say something, their ears twitched and they immediately closed their mouths.
A faint cry came from outside the door. The two of them strained their ears to listen, only to hear the cry getting closer and closer.
After a while, I heard a knock on the door: "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
There was a sudden knock on the door in the middle of the night, which would make anyone feel alert.
Xu Tong and Li Xi were startled at the same time, and the first thought in their minds was of those villagers. This village had felt something was wrong since they entered.
After all, these are not good times. The simple folk customs are fake. There are also many bandits and robbers who pretend to be villagers to kill people and steal goods.
But then I thought about it and felt something was wrong. If it was really a robber who committed murder and expropriated goods, why bother knocking on the door and just break in?
Xu Tong looked over at the Qimen with his Life Eye, and his expression suddenly changed slightly. He saw that there seemed to be a strange fluctuation behind the door, but when he took a closer look, he couldn't tell what was going on.
"Headmaster, that thing just now doesn't seem to be a human being."
Da Ya woke up at some point and stood at the entrance of the hall staring. Xu Tong knew of course that the thing was definitely not a good thing.
If there is a ghost, I have many ways to destroy him, but the problem is that I am afraid that he is not a ghost.
The lime that Yang Gongjing asked him to sprinkle around the house was not just lime, but also mixed with a large amount of exorcism.
I have read it in the prop booklet and found that the thing has the effect of driving away evil spirits. If it is really a ghost, it should be driven away as soon as I walk in front of the door.
Li Xi was sitting aside, and when he heard the knock on the door, there was a look of anger in his eyes. Perhaps he was aroused by Xu Tong's words just now, or maybe he understood the meaning of Xu Tong's words just now.
Li Xi was about to step forward and open the door to prove to Mr. Ma that he was not a timid person, but Xu Tong pulled him back.
He suddenly remembered what Taoist Xunlong said, "If you don't light a lamp at night, you won't knock on the door and don't listen."
Thinking of this, he glanced at the bonfire in front of him, grabbed a handful of sand, and put out the bonfire.
The knocking on the door continued, but much slower than before. Xu Tong and Li Xi stood in the yard waiting. Sure enough, after a while, the crying outside the door slowly faded away.
Li Xi bravely walked to the door, put his face against the door, squinted, and looked out through the crack in the door.
It was pitch black outside, I couldn't see my fingers, I couldn't see anything.
"No! This thing is definitely not human."
At this time, Li Xi suddenly noticed the door and saw a pool of blood on the ground at the door. Looking carefully, there were two vague footprints in the blood.
"Who cares? Just be careful tonight. We'll leave here early tomorrow morning."
Xu Tong also had a bad feeling in his heart. He felt that this place was too weird, so it would be better to leave as soon as possible. After all, his main mission was not to conquer demons, but to protect Mr. Yang in the house.
If there is something wrong with this old guy, he will be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have thought of a way to arrange for Wang Zheng to work in Qintian Prison. If this guy was here, the pressure on his main mission would be much easier.
Li Xi thought about it, and it was the same truth. It was better to do less than to do more.
However, just as the two were discussing whether to reinforce the door, a light suddenly shone on them.
"What are you two doing? Who knocked on the door just now?"
I saw foreman Zhou walking out of the room holding an oil lamp, yawning and asking.
"Don't light the lamp!"
Xu Tong's heart skipped a beat and he shouted quickly.
But foreman Zhou was full of confusion: "Why don't you light the lamp? It's so dark that you can't see anything. Mr. Ma, little father-in-law, you are sleepy too. Why don't you go back to sleep? I'll take your place."
Foreman Zhou was about to move forward as he spoke, but when he took a step, Xu Tong and Li Xi took a step back. Neither of them spoke, but their eyes were staring directly behind Foreman Zhou.
"Why don't you talk?"
Foreman Zhou raised the oil lamp to see more clearly, but as soon as he raised the oil lamp, he felt something cold dripping on his head: "Huh? Why is it raining??"
As he said that, he touched it with his hand, and felt it was sticky, and the smell of blood wafted over.
Foreman Zhou is after all the foreman of the Forbidden Army. He has also practiced in martial arts for several years. He also worked as a bodyguard when he was young. When he looked at it through the light, his face suddenly changed. He turned around suddenly and raised the oil lamp to shine back. , at the same time, the other one had already pulled out the dagger from his waist, and was about to stab the dagger out with one move.
This move can be regarded as an extremely beautiful counterattack. If a person is blindly illuminated by a light suddenly shining on his face, he will inevitably close his eyes subconsciously. At this time, if he stabs him with a knife, he will definitely cause chaos to the other party.
However, Foreman Zhou may never have imagined that the person standing behind him was not a human being, but a bloody mouth...
