Chapter 64: Confrontation in the Dark
The person who made the move was Liu Hong! !
He is his most trusted confidant!
At this moment, looking at the blood constantly flowing from his heart, Li Xiaoran felt more and more confused and his vision was intermittent.
He struggled, holding the bloody dagger with his last bit of strength, "Why...why?!"
The words fell.
He didn't get an answer and died in depression.
From beginning to end, Liu Hong had no intention of saying a word to him.
Looking at Li Xiaoran's lifeless body, Liu Hong sighed, "Because I am not Liu Hong."
He came to the bronze mirror and stroked his face slightly, "What a pity, I quite like this identity."
"It's just that those difficult guys have come to Chang'an."
As he said this, he put his hand to his ear and then grabbed it hard...
A human skin mask was actually torn off !
This is not Liu Hong at all, he has absolutely nothing to do with Ruyi Tea Shop!!
After taking off the mask, the man packed up the dagger and left Ruyi Tea Shop under the cover of night.
…
He was gone for a quarter of an hour.
At Ruyi Tea Shop, someone suddenly discovered Li Xiaoran's body.
The people involved in that conversation then thought of the black-robed man's declaration of war on Qin Wenyuan based on the number of heads.
Suddenly, everyone in the teahouse was angry, and... everyone felt in danger.
Those who were not firm in their hearts resigned to Lu Dinghai.
At the same time, not far outside Ruyi Tea Shop, there were several men in black robes watching the turmoil in Ruyi Tea Shop with cold eyes.
They were the group of people who had previously discussed cooperation with Lu Dinghai.
It turned out that they didn't leave, but were hiding not far from Ruyi Tea Shop!
"Li Xiaoran from Ruyi Tea Shop is dead, and his close confidant Liu Hong has also disappeared."
"Master, it is basically confirmed that Sishe is impersonating Liu Hong this time."
"If nothing unexpected happens, he has already left Ruyi Tea Shop."
A man in black robe said so.
Hearing this, Master Huaji nodded slightly, "Hu Guang's subordinate Sishe's ability to disguise himself is indeed too terrifying."
"Snake, before each action, will spend at least four days observing the living habits and facial expressions of the person he wants to disguise himself as. Coupled with his ability to change his appearance, it is indeed too difficult to guard against."
"We really don't have the ability to see through his disguise. Now, using an insignificant pawn of Ruyi Tea Shop to force Sishe away is a good exchange."
Master Huaji's tone was calm as usual.
It was as if Li Xiaoran’s death did not cause any disturbance to him at all.
On the contrary, I am a little glad that his death could force the Snake out.
The black-robed man was silent for a while, then asked: "Master, why did we... why didn't we just kill everyone except Lu Qian and Lu Dinghai?"
"Snake must have been there at the time, so can't we get rid of him?"
Master Huaji shook his head and said, "No."
"First, we didn't know whether the snake was there at the beginning. If we killed someone who wasn't him, we would still be worried about where he was all day long."
"Secondly, those that have been exposed are always easier to deal with than those that are hidden."
"Third, and most importantly, Lu Dinghai doesn't know the abilities of the Twelve Shadow Assassins. If we do this, even if Sishe is really killed, we will offend him because all his trusted followers have been killed by us, and there will be a gap in our cooperation."
"So now, even though Si Snake is not dead, there is no Si Snake in Ruyi Tea House. In other words... the remaining ones are trustworthy and worthy of being informed of the action plan."
"Therefore, you should immediately send someone to follow Lu Dinghai's cronies and track their every move. Remember not to let Si She find another opportunity to change his appearance again."
The black-robed man was shocked when he heard this, "I understand, Master. I will go down and give the order right away."
After he left, Master Huaji took a deep look in the direction of the Qin Mansion.
The corners of his mouth curled up into an icy smile, "Qin Wenyuan, where on earth did you attract Hu Guang to bring the Twelve Shadow Thorns to help you?"
"interesting."
He then flicked his sleeves, turned around and disappeared into the night.
…
After Sishe left, he went to a private residence first.
The residence in front of him was exactly the same as the surrounding residences. There was no light at all, and the whole thing looked ordinary.
“Boom boom boom!”
The snake knocked on the wooden door.
He tapped very rhythmically, three fast taps, four slow taps, and three medium-speed taps.
This is the secret code of the Twelve Shadow Assassins.
If they don't match, no one will come to open the door even if you knock loudly.
Soon, with a creak, the door was opened.
The person who came to meet him was Wei Yang.
"Are you back?" Wei Yang said.
Sishe glanced around and said calmly, "Let's talk about it after we go in."
Soon, the two walked in.
As soon as Sishe came in, he hurriedly said, "Master's old rivals have come to Chang'an."
"What!"
Wei Yang was shocked, "So...so that's why you were exposed so quickly?"
Sishe nodded helplessly, "Yes, you know that they are too familiar with us. I am afraid that if I stay in the Ruyi Tea House, I will probably be discovered."
Then, he seemed to think of something and suddenly asked, "By the way, has the young master finished the imperial examination?"
Wei Yang nodded, with a hint of pride on his face, "Yes, the young master is truly a genius. He only took half a day to complete the imperial examination that had stumped thousands of predecessors, and he even asked Lord Wei Zheng to come to his mansion in person."
"By the way, how did you know that?"
Sishe raised his eyebrows, "I heard it from Yuheng and the others. This time, I think they are coming with great force."
"After all, even I didn't know that the young master had passed the imperial examination, but they all knew about it. I guess they put a lot of effort into the imperial examination."
"Besides, Yuheng...he also said he was going to cause trouble for the young master!"
As he finished speaking, Sishe's frown deepened.
The black-robed men, the Twelve Shadow Assassins, did not know who they were, but during the long confrontation, they only knew that they were code-named the Big Dipper.
Tianshu, Yaoguang, Yuheng, Tianxuan...
Wait seven people!
Each of them
And the Master Huaji this time is Yuheng among the Seven Big Dipper.
Even though Yuheng did not show his face, Sishe could still recognize the person just by hearing his voice.
Sishe knew that the other four men in black robes were actually Yuheng's confidants.
After all, after all these years of confrontation, both sides have some understanding of each other.
Upon hearing this, Wei Yang also realized the seriousness of the matter, "We have to inform the master immediately!"
"Um."
Sishe nodded, " This time Yuheng was too targeted, and what's interesting is that he used the alias Huaji Master..."
