Rebirth of the Phoenix

Bloody gift

After more than ten days of continuous marching, the Silhouette Army arrived at a larger town.

In those days, the autumn rain continued, the weather was slightly cool, and the road became a little muddy, making it inconvenient to march.

Although the march was very fast, there was still a long way from Weishan Pass and needed supplies. Ye Jiu ordered the infantry to rest in the city first, and the cavalry still went first. He brought dozens of personal soldiers to stay in the city.

Buy grain and water in the room and wait for the infantry to follow.

A few days later, the infantry finally arrived at the town, and Hongzhuang met Yejiu for the first time after joining the army.

After meeting Ye Jiu, the first thing she did was to meet Ye Jiu.

After rushing to the sun for so long, she had tanned a little and her skin was not so delicate. However, she still had vigorous vitality and had a healthy luster, without any trace of being exhausted.

Ye Jiu looked at her a few times and said lightly: "What's the matter with me?"

Hongzhuang sat down in front of him without any hesitation and stared at him: "I want to ask you for a favor."

Ye Jiu said: "Say."

Hongzhuang said: "Starting from this small town and passing through the mountains to the east, you can enter the territory of Dashun Country. There will be a river flowing downstream from there, leading to Yaozhou. If you are fast, you may be able to do it in half a month.

I'm here. I want to ask you for a few people who are the best at killing people and go to Yaozhou to kill a few people."

The word "yaozhou" made Ye Jiu's heart hurt.

He remained silent: "Who is it killed?"

Hongzhuang said word by word: "The people who killed Luo Jingxuan and Liu Siyao!"

In another ten days, it will be the death day of her father and mother. She needs to give a "big gift" to the envoy behind them who killed them.

There is no need to ask or know each other. Ye Jiu can also guess who Luo Jingxuan and Liu Siyao are.

After a while of silence, he slowly said, "Have you been to Yaozhou? How is the Luo family...?"

Hongzhuang died tragically, and I am afraid that the Luo family would not be spared. The Luo family... is likely to become a victim of the court's power seizure, just like Hongzhuang.

Thinking of this, he felt sad again, but he was no longer able to express these feelings on his face.

Hongzhuang lowered her eyes: "The family was destroyed and the people died..."

She briefly said about the situation of the Luo family and said, "Next month 14th is the death day of Luo Jingxuan and Liu Siyao. I will give a big gift to the two masterminds who framed Luo Jingxuan back then."

Ye Jiu said: "Just give gifts? Why not destroy them?"

Hongzhuang asked back: "Why didn't you kill Ying Rushuang and Ye Qingge directly?"

Ye Jiu stopped asking and stood up: "There are many people in the army who can kill people invisible, so I'll take you to find them."

Why didn’t they kill Ying Rushuang and Ye Qingge directly? Why didn’t they kill Yaozhou prefect and the Liu family directly?

Because, to keep them suffering and torture, life is worse than death.

Death is only the head falls to the ground, and no matter how painful it is, it will only be a moment. Only living in pain and hopelessness is the greatest sorrow of life - just like him now.

How can those people get cheaper?

The eight thousand Mo Yun soldiers of the Silhouette Army are all cruel characters who are not afraid of death. Among them, there are killers who are experienced without blinking. In addition, Ye Jiu also recruited some people from the martial arts world and trained them to be good at following up.

, reconnaissance, sniping, killing special forces.

Ye Jiu picked up a dozen and said to Hongzhuang: "They will definitely meet your requirements."

Hongzhuang said: "I don't need so many people, I just need four people."

Yaozhou is remote and has few outsiders. Going too many outsiders in one breath will only attract attention.

Assassination, as long as the assassination is capable enough, the smaller the number, the better.

Finally, she picked four soldiers with inconspicuous appearances and facial features that were common to Yaozhou people. She also had a quiet and steady personality. After explaining them in detail, Ye Jiu ordered them to be sent to Yaozhou to execute.

Special mission.

These soldiers were familiar with the deep mountains and forests and rivers. They spent a few days passing through the vast mountains where there was no limit to the edge, and then got a boat and followed the water to Yaozhou. This was the fastest and most direct

The route is now.

This road is very difficult to walk, without enough physical strength, skills, and experience. Just the continuous deep mountains can swallow all the intruders. Fortunately, the Silhouette Army has the least lacking, which is to be in the deep mountains and forests since childhood.

Growing soldiers.

The road was dangerous, and the four soldiers did not rush to leave, but spent a day preparing and packing up enough equipment and resting before setting off.

After they set off, Hongzhuang came to the largest and most effective temple in the city, burning incense and praying that they could arrive in Yaozhou smoothly.

She was full of piety when she was kneeling down. However, when she stood up and raised her head to touch the Bodhisattva's compassionate eyes, she suddenly felt shocked: Those four soldiers were going to kill people. She prayed to the Bodhisattva for their safety and the Bodhisattva could agree.

?

Moreover, she is a dead person, but can the Bodhisattva accept the prayers of the dead?

So she ran away in panic and felt that she was stupid.

That kind of place is not suitable for her, and she shouldn't have gone to the temple in her life.

After resting in the city for a day, the silhouette army set off again and marched towards the distant dangerous Shaanxi Pass.

More than ten days later, the coolness of autumn is even stronger. The sun is not as sunny during the day. It is easy to travel during the day and sleep at night. Everyone said that it is cool and the autumn is good!

At this time, Yaozhou was still quite stuffy and still wore short clothes during the day. Only at night did people who went out need to extend their clothes.

On September 14th, the Liu family was facing a great enemy and laid a large number of spies around them, preparing to capture people.

At this time of year, I have to pretend to be a ghost and send the so-called Luo Jingxuan and Luo Hongzhuang to the person who wrote to him.

Liu Guquan didn't believe that Luo Jingxuan could still write to him after his death!

It must be Luo Jingxuan's followers pretending to be his handwriting and writing that kind of ghost letter to the Liu family - even if he could be sure that it was Luo Jingxuan's authentic work!

This time, he will definitely find the other party out and send him to see Luo Jingxuan!

Since the early morning, the experts hired by the Liu family have been spread in the darkness around the Liu family without any deafness. As long as someone sends suspicious letters, they will definitely not be able to escape.

However, from the early morning to the dark, there were many people entering and leaving the Liu family, but they were all familiar faces and no suspicious characters.

Liu Guquan waited at home for a day, but he didn't wait for Luo Jingxuan's letter and the suspicious prisoner. He paced back and forth in the living room, stroking his beard, thinking: Does the prisoner know that the Liu family has secretly deployed control and dare not show up?

Humph, it was indeed a man-made trick, he thought to himself.

In addition to him, there were also his wife and two adult sons who were already adults. They all knew the truth about Luo Jingxuan's death, and also knew that the so-called Luo Jingxuan wrote to him, and he insisted on seeing the real prisoner being arrested.

Only then can they feel at ease.

"It seems that I won't receive the letter today." Liu Guquan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became dark.

The entire hall, including the corridors and courtyards outside, were trapped in darkness at the same time, but the rest of the Liu House had not yet been destroyed.

The panic screams rang everywhere in the darkness.

"Calm down! Calm down!" Liu Guquan shouted, "The light will be turned on immediately. Please calm down and don't scare yourself."

As he said, just as the lamp went out, a servant lit the candlelight after just a moment.

Soon, the candles and lanterns inside and outside the hall were lit, and the hall became brighter.

The first thing everyone has to do at this time is to see if something has happened.

It seems that nothing happened.

No one was missing, no one was injured, no one died, no thing was moved, stolen, or broken.

"Shh, it scared me." Mrs. Liu stroked her chest, still in shock, "I thought..."

Why? She shut up and didn't say anything more. She would scare herself if she said such things and could not say them.

The others were also relieved.

But at this time, a servant shouted: "Master, there is an extra box on the table."

Everyone looked closely and saw that on the originally empty sandalwood table in the center of the hall, there was indeed a square wooden box that was a little larger than a watermelon.

Did this box appear in a moment when darkness occurs?

Everyone looked at each other, and a not-so-good premonition arose in their hearts.

Because of this feeling, everyone didn't speak or move for a while, and didn't show curiosity about the sudden black wooden box.

After all, Liu Guquan had seen the world. He waved his hand and directed the two servants: "You two, open it and take a look."

The two servants looked at each other, walked over with a tough bullet, and carefully removed the lid.

In an instant, the faces of the two men changed drastically. One of them was panting and retreated, and the other was trembling so that the lid in their hands fell to the ground. The legs became weak and fell to the ground.

Their expressions were like hell.

The lights are bright and the desktop is not high enough for everyone to see what is inside.

"Ah——" Old Mrs. Liu screamed and fainted.

The two young masters of the Liu family supported their mother, their faces were bloodless and they were so scared that they almost ran away without robbing the door.

The other servants, the timid, hid far away while screaming, the bolder ones were trembling, and sweating on their foreheads.

In the box... is a human head!

The face is not visible at such a distance, but it is already scary enough!

It's so scary!

When Liu Guquan first saw this head, he shivered a few times, shocked and frightened, but soon, he calmed down and shouted loudly: "You guys are here, and you can also send someone to close the door and search.

In the house, the person who gave this thing must have not left yet, be sure to find him!"

Someone must have taken advantage of the darkness just now to secretly put the box on the table!

So bold!

Since the other party came to him on his own initiative, how could he escape?

For safety reasons, at least dozens of servants who had some skills were surrounded inside and outside the hall. After accepting his orders, the servants immediately searched around.

Liu Guquan calmed down, calmed his heartbeat, walked towards the wooden box, and said as he walked: "Look, you are all scared, they are just dead heads, what are you afraid of? You are really useless..."

His voice stopped, his feet stopped, his breath stopped, his eyes were dumbfounded, his eyes were very protruding, and he stared straight at the head.

Looks completely frightened!

That head... turned out to be... it was the head of the yamen master!

The owner of this head is considered his old friend. Last night, they were drinking wine together...
