Peerless Pirates

In the past two days, although Ming'er was not as busy as Song Zheng, she had been worried and troubled by Song Zheng. After crying for a while, although her mood improved a little, she was very sleepy and fell asleep quickly.

Song Zheng did not dare to sleep. He thought over and over again and felt that he should try his best to help Wanyan Yusheng. As for whether he could get rid of the crisis at hand, he was not sure. Especially since there were more than one assassination forces. Although he was proud of his two lives,

He has extraordinary intelligence, but he is not arrogant enough to underestimate the heroes of the world. If Wanyan Yusheng really died in Daqi, Dajin would have even more excuses to send his troops south. Daqi and Dajin have accumulated so much energy for so many years.

Once the war breaks out, it will definitely be extremely brutal, and the entire Shandong will be affected. If the barbarians of Dajin cross the Yellow River, Qizhou, Qingzhou, and Laizhou will certainly bear the brunt, and Mizhou will not be much better. Not to mention ordinary people

Regardless of the people, Song Jue and the Zhu family will also be harmed by military disasters. The Song family village is remote, so it may not necessarily be affected. But once the soldiers and bandits break out, no place is safe except the deep mountains and old forests.

As for Li Hongniang, Song Zheng is not worried about whether he can do the job. Judging from her words, because he is too young, the senior officials of the Imperial City Department do not pay much attention to his existence, but they just have the mentality that something is better than nothing.

. Even if he is really unable to do so, there will not be a big problem with Li Hongniang's protection. Besides, he does not believe that the Imperial City Division will only call Zhu Jian, Hu Qiang and other Mizhou personnel, and there must be others.

What a back-up move.

Despite this, Song Zheng did not dare to be careless. After he settled Ming'er, he blew out the lamp, sat near the door of the house, and began to use the method of "Chun Yang Secret Book" to circulate the vitality of his body.

While Song Zheng was practicing his skills, he was thinking about the terrain of Sihua Inn. Although Song Zheng had never been a killer, he always believed that the two professions of thief and killer were similar, and they both went to a certain place to obtain a certain item.

East and west. The difference is that what the thief takes is treasure, while what the killer takes is human life. Since both take things, we must consider the topography. The guest rooms of Sihua Inn are in the north building facing south. There are three floors, each with an upper and lower floor.

There are nine guest rooms lined up on each floor. The staircase is built in the middle, dividing the nine rooms into a pattern of five in the east and four in the west. Room No. 6 is twice as big as the other guest rooms. The reason for this is to satisfy different guests.

Song Zheng knew that Room A on the third floor was occupied by the Four Guards of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning, in order to be close to the stairs and easy to defend. Zhang Zong, Wanyan Yusheng, and Wanyan Yuse occupied the seventh and eighth rooms respectively.

Ninety-three rooms.

In addition to the north building, there are two east and west wing buildings. The east wing building is a restaurant, while the west wing building is the residence of the shopkeepers and clerks. The north side of the inn was originally a stable, but because the guests complained about the arrogance of the stable, it was renovated.

A separate yard was opened to the northwest of the inn to feed the horses, and the original stables became a place for stacking firewood.

From Song Zheng's professional perspective, if Wanyan Yusheng was to be assassinated, there are two most likely places for the killer to hide. One is the firewood pile in the backyard, and the other is the jujube tree in front of the building. Through the hook

Lock, it is easier to access Room A No. 8 where Wanyan Yusheng is located. Of course, if the killer is stupid and attacks through the stairs, it will be more tragic. No need to guess, Song Zheng also knows that there will definitely be someone among the four guards of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning.

Be on duty and pay close attention to the movements everywhere.

Since Li Hongniang didn't disclose any more information, Song Zheng didn't know if there was a killer sneaking into the inn. However, from what Zhu Jian learned, everything seemed to be relatively normal, although there were a few suspicious people approaching the Sihua Inn.

, but none of them moved in. Even so, Song Zheng was not at ease. The people from Mizhou arrived in Licheng late. Who knows whether those damn killers were prepared in advance.

Thinking of this, Song Zheng couldn't help complaining about Wanyan Yusheng and others. His father was almost burping, and he couldn't think of a way to seize the throne, but he came to Daqi. Now that there were dangers, he hid quickly and looked for opportunities to sneak back to Daqi.

Wouldn’t gold be better? Why are you still staying in Licheng? Why are you still going to see some martial arts competition? Isn’t this just asking for trouble? Oh, it’s not asking for trouble, it’s asking for death!

In the end, Song Zheng couldn't figure it out, so he had to gather his concentration and start to run the "Chunyang Secret Manual" attentively. Although practicing does not mean sleeping, it has a miraculous effect in relieving sleepiness. After running for more than two hours, Song Zheng felt that two

All the fatigue from the day was gone and his whole body felt relaxed. He breathed a long sigh of relief and stood up.

The five-shift banger had been struck outside, and it was the lowest temperature of the day. Ming'er was still sleeping soundly on the bed. Song Zheng walked over, covered her with a quilt, and then walked under the north window. For ventilation,

To keep out the cold, the window was not big, only two feet square, and eight feet high from the ground. Song Zheng moved the stool over, stood on the stool, slowly opened the window a crack, and looked down from top to bottom.

Look.

Song Zheng's eyesight was very good. Even though it was quite dark outside, Song Zheng could still vaguely distinguish the outline. More than ten feet away from the building, a straw shed was set up. Inside the straw shed, on the west side were piles of horses for feeding.

Forage and firewood are piled on the east side. Since there are many people living in Sihua Inn, a lot of firewood is prepared, almost filling the thatched shed.

Song Zheng scanned from left to right and found nothing suspicious. He carefully got off the stool and went to the south side of the room. On the left side of the south side was the door, and on the right side was a slender window about three feet wide.

, five feet high. When Song Zheng had just fumbled and found that he was still three feet away from the window, he suddenly stopped. Following a crash, a slightly crisp sound came. Because the surroundings were extremely quiet at this time, although the sound was not loud, Song Zheng

Zheng could still hear it clearly. He took two steps and reached the window. He gently tore through the window paper with his hands and looked outside with one eye.

His eyes crossed the corridor outside the window and fell on the jujube tree in the courtyard. At this time, he saw only a rope connected from the east wing tower to the jujube branch. A window on the east wing tower was open, but he could not see

The scene inside the window. Song Zheng knew that someone must have thrown the rope there, but it was just because it was too dark and no one could be seen. The sound just now should be the hook at the top of the rope hitting the leaves of the jujube tree and hitting the tree again.

The sound of thick branches. The jujube tree is extremely hard, and when an iron hook touches it, the sound is naturally crisp.

Because there were lanterns in the yard, Song Zheng could still see everything clearly despite the dim light. He identified the window and found that it was one of the two rooms with lights on last night. Song Zheng couldn't help but secretly sigh at the other party's cunning. Because

The restaurant is not only open to hotel guests, but is also open to the public. Knowing that it is not easy to stay in the North Building, they disguised themselves as guests who came to have a drink and arrived at the East Wing Building. Although I don’t know how they were able to stay overnight, they must have prepared it in advance

Well calculated.

The people upstairs in the east chamber remained silent after throwing the rope, obviously waiting for the opportunity. After a full quarter of an hour, Song Zheng saw a figure climbing out of the window. He slowly climbed along the rope to Zao Zao

Hidden on the tree. Then, another figure came out and also hid on the jujube tree. The two figures looked thin and extremely agile. They were also very careful. When they approached the jujube tree, they gently pushed aside the branches.

Not a sound was made.

You know, jujube branches are very thorny and can get pricked if you are not careful. It is not easy for these two people to do this.

After the two people reached the tree, they retracted the rope and started to stand up silently again. Song Zheng was wondering, what were these two people doing? Their hiding place was more than ten feet away from the north tower, thirty feet away.

meters. It is not that easy to throw the rope over this distance. Even if it can be thrown, it is difficult not to make a sound. Do they want to use a crossbow? But judging from the costumes of the two, it does not look like they are carrying a crossbow.

Look.

After another quarter of an hour, the two people finally made a move. They both took out something strange-looking from their waists. Song Zheng looked carefully through the sparse branches and leaves, but was stunned. It turned out that the two people took out something strange.

It's actually a slingshot, and it seems to be a little bigger than an ordinary slingshot.

Can this thing also be used for assassination? Song Zheng remembered that when he was a child, he used it to shoot sparrows. Even if it hit a person, it would only swell up, which was far from killing someone. Now, these two people actually used it to kill sparrows.

Isn’t this thing a bit funny? In addition, Wanyan Yusheng is in the room, how can they kill him with this thing?

Song Zheng looked at the sky, and there was already a glimmer of light in the east. He knew that this was when people were sleeping soundly. If the other party didn't take action, the cucumbers and vegetables would definitely be cold.

The other party obviously knew this, so he didn't keep Song Zheng waiting for a long time. At this time, there was an abnormal sound from the north of the north building. Song Zheng quickly touched the north side of the room, stepped on the stool, and looked outside. Only one person was seen.

The rope appeared on the wall on the north side of the hut, and a figure touched it. This figure was also thin, dressed in black, and had a small crossbow on his waist.

Song Zheng knew that there was a trail outside the wall. Although the bluestone wall was very high, nearly three feet high, the man still reached it with the help of a rope. However, there should be a brother from the Mizhou Imperial City Division there.

Guard, since this person can be found, it is very likely that something unexpected happened to that brother.

The figure was lying on the hut, looking around cautiously, and then focused on the top of Song Zheng's head. Song Zheng knew that he was looking for the window of Room No. 8.

The man took out a dagger from the other side of his waist and started to lift up the thatched shed. Soon, the dried mud on the roof of the thatched shed was peeled away. The man took out a few handfuls and made out a small pile of thatch. He

After putting the dagger away, he took off the crossbow and placed it next to the thatch. Song Zheng noticed that there was a short arrow more than two feet long on the crossbow. There seemed to be something wrapped around the top of the short arrow, but it wasn't anything anyway.

Triangular arrow cluster.

The man put his hand into his arms, took out two pieces of stuff, and then put them next to the small pile of thatch. Song Zheng immediately understood the other party's plan. The other party must have wanted to use flint to ignite the hay shed first, and then

Use a rocket to shoot into Wanyan Yusheng's window and force him out of the house. In that case, the people ambushing in the jujube tree can take action. Song Zheng is sure that the enemy's slingshot is also extraordinary and can definitely kill people.

Song Zheng knew that once a fire broke out in the thatched hut, it would be a raging fire and the entire inn would be in chaos. Even if the opponent didn't shoot rockets, it would be very dangerous once Wanyan Yusheng ran out of the room. The killers might have other plans.

His methods can take people's lives in the midst of chaos.

The situation was urgent, and Song Zheng became wise in his desperation. He shouted loudly: "Who will wake up first from the big dream? I know it in my life. I have had enough sleep in the inn in the autumn, and the sun is getting late outside the window!" (Request for flowers)
