Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 186 Even if it doesn't concern me, I'll kill you
Zhang Dali didn't reveal much information before his death, but Tang Zheng remembered that he mentioned the buyer's delivery address.
Every seven days, the buyer picks up the goods in a small courtyard on the eastern outskirts of Wulong Town.
There were two big locust trees at the gate of that courtyard, and the courtyard wall was vermilion.
And the next delivery will be tomorrow!
If the blood sacrifice of the ancestor of Yinlan Villa and the disappearance of the child are indeed the same thing, then it can be confirmed in the yard on the eastern outskirts of Wulong Town tomorrow.
In the hot summer, the bright sunshine shines on every beam facing the rising sun in Wulong Town, every grape vine with dewdrops, and every face...
But the sun above Tangjiabao seemed to have no temperature.
In the busy fort, there was a chill in the air.
The next day, Tang Boyuan left Tangjiabao early in the morning to find an old friend who had collected many secret techniques to look up the specific methods of blood sacrifice. Tang Zheng and he went to the eastern suburbs of Wulong Town at the same time.
Tang Boyuan's two younger brothers, one left Wulong Town and went to Feishi City to ask friends to come to Tangjiabao for help, and the other went directly to the front line.
After the autumn harvest and before the first snow in winter, the fighting on the front line will gradually become tense. Now it is summer, there is basically no fighting on the front line, and some independent corps can be hired from the front line with money.
In the summer morning, the sun rises very early.
Tang Zheng had just finished practicing twenty rounds of dagger techniques in the yard when he saw Xu Qingyan appear at the gate of the courtyard.
"Here?" Tang Zheng fanned the dagger and the sharp edge disappeared. He gently opened the fan and instantly changed the style of painting. "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten." Xu Qingyan was called over by the servant of Tangjiabao early in the morning. He didn't ask any questions, but only answered the questions asked by Tang Zheng.
"Let's go." Tang Zheng changed his clothes and went with Xu Qingyan, one on each horse, they rode on the Snow Region Warhorse and left Tangjiabao.
Tangjiabao is located in the northern suburbs of Wulong Town, and there is only a .
There are not many fields in the eastern suburbs, so there are not many villages either. A courtyard surrounded by vermilion walls is easy to find.
Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan tied up their horses not far away. They didn't look for the main gate of the courtyard, but just climbed over a low wall and went in.
"If I have already practiced the Cloud-Stepping Step, I can probably climb over this wall even if it is twice as high." After landing, Tang Zheng couldn't help but recall the time when Pan Yu climbed over the wall. That light move was truly a pleasure to watch.
"I must practice the Cloud-Stepping Step well later!" Tang Zheng tightened the folding fan in his hand, raised his head and stood up from the ground.
But when he looked up and saw the scene in the courtyard, he was stunned.
All the cloud-walking and light landing were forgotten in an instant.
Xu Qingyan, who was standing beside him, twitched violently on a face that rarely showed any emotion.
The courtyard was very quiet.
Under the bright sunshine, the ground was covered with blood. Corpses were hung on trees one after another. All of the corpses had horrific wounds. Some had their eyes gouged out, and some had broken limbs...
And without exception, those corpses were all beautiful lolita between five and ten years old!
The warm sunlight shines through the lush leaves and onto their beautiful faces.
However, no matter how good the sun is, it can no longer bring them even a little bit of vitality.
Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan moved their eyes downwards and could see that the lower body of each corpse was covered in blood. The pain and fear they experienced before death had been recorded word by word on their corpses!
If an ordinary person saw this tragic scene, he would definitely scream loudly, take a few steps back, and fall to the ground.
Although Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan were not frightened to that extent , their faces were completely cold.
"Go in." Tang Zheng's ears moved, and when he heard a noise in the inner courtyard, he waved to Xu Qingyan.
Xu Qingyan followed without saying a word.
…
This courtyard has three entrances and three exits and is quite large in area.
All the way to the inner courtyard, there was not a single bluestone slab that was not stained with blood.
The door to the inner courtyard was ajar, and an obscene laugh came from the yard: "Come on, uncle loves you the most, hey... look at your pretty little face, tsk..."
Tang Zheng was not sure how many people were in the yard, so he suppressed the sound of footsteps and glanced through the crack in the door.
I saw a delicate little girl of about eight or nine years old leaning in the corner of the yard. The little girl had eyebrows like emerald feathers, a natural beauty, and slightly light wheat-colored skin. In the sunlight, she looked like a little leopard, with a healthy and wild beauty.
She was still very young, but a weak demonic fire had already risen behind her!
The man with his back to the door was a skinny man. When he saw the demonic fire, he laughed louder: "So weak? But... he can still resist. I like it..."
But what he didn't expect was that in the next second, the little girl put her fingers together like a knife, and a star power condensed from her claws...
With a few swishes, the star power quickly fell on her face. In an instant, her appearance was completely ruined and blood was pouring down her face!
"My little cousin, you are so shameless!" The skinny middle-aged man was shocked by Sixteen's sudden action, and then he slapped Sixteen hard twice.
The originally pretty, cute and sympathetic little face was now swollen and red after being scratched by herself and then beaten by the skinny middle-aged man. The blood was all over her face.
"Sixteen!" As soon as Tang Zheng saw the evil fire, he knew who the little girl was. At the same time Sixteen cut his face, he kicked the door open.
Tang Zheng broke into the room, but Sixteen was not idle either. She seemed not to feel the pain on her face at all. Instead, she bared her small, sticky teeth and looked at the skinny middle-aged man with hatred and sarcasm.
The skinny middle-aged man felt a little frightened by the performance and gazes of the sixteen beasts. The evil fire that was originally burning in his heart disappeared without a trace. He cursed twice and drew a sharp boning knife from his waist, and then he heard the sound of the courtyard door being kicked in by a kick containing star power.
When he turned around, Sixteen was already staring at the skinny middle-aged man with a pair of big eyes, biting his wrist.
bite!
“Ahhh…” The skinny man was startled. He used his star power to turn around, raised his arm and threw Sixteen away. He looked at Tang Zheng in astonishment, “Who are you?”
Seeing the folding fan in Tang Zheng's hand, his eyelids jumped: "Are you passing by?"
His courtyard is quite remote, and he himself didn't quite believe the words "passing by" when he said them.
Who would pass by here?
Besides, it would be fine if they were just passing by. His yard is very big and the inner and outer courtyards are soundproofed, so it is impossible for passers-by to hear the noise inside and come in casually.
As soon as he thought of this, the stars suddenly rose up, and he rushed forward with his knife raised. Two bright stars flickered in the fate palace. A cunning and cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "But it doesn't matter who it is. What matters is that you die quickly!"
Tang Zheng sneered, waved his arm, and opened the folding fan, as if the sharp knife in front of him did not exist at all, like a scholar waving a fan, the folding fan flicked...
The boning knife flashed with cold light and starlight, and was about to pierce through the folding fan and go straight into the young man's heart. However, the moment it touched the fan, it encountered tremendous resistance, causing the fan surface to slightly concave, and it could no longer advance an inch.
The skinny middle-aged man was startled and hurriedly changed his tactics. He raised his hand and swung it sideways, changing from stabbing to chopping, wanting to cut Tang Zheng's throat on the spot.
But Tang Zheng closed the folding fan in his hand, and the starlight turned, instantly trapping the tip of his knife in the fan, like being stuck in a closed tiger's mouth, and he couldn't pull it out at all!
The skinny middle-aged man made a prompt decision, dropped his knife and retreated, but seeing Tang Zheng still had a lazy smile on his face, he was shocked and angry, and shouted in a timid voice: "I am the external affairs manager of Yinlan Villa. This is none of your business, don't make trouble!"
Tang Zheng pulled out the manager's boning knife from his folding fan, mobilized his star power, gathered power with both hands, and twisted the blade into a twist with his bare hands: "What a coincidence? You are the manager, and I am the busybody. We finally meet, why don't we get closer?"
"Whether you are passing by or not... a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. I advise you to leave now, it's not too late. Let's treat today's incident as a misunderstanding and let bygones be bygones!" The skinny middle-aged man felt nervous when he saw Tang Zheng casually destroying his weapon. He quietly retreated, ready to run away at any time when Tang Zheng was not prepared.
"But I'm not going to let bygones be bygones..." Tang Zheng said, holding up a folding fan and pointing behind the skinny middle-aged man.
The skinny middle-aged man was startled and felt a strong wave of star power suddenly surge behind him.
Too strong.
The fluctuation of star power was so strong that even the hairs on his back stood up!
He rushed forward and wanted to leap into the air.
Unfortunately, before he could run even one step, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and the star vein acupoints on both his hands and feet were pierced through in an instant.
The skinny middle-aged man suddenly fell to the ground and rolled on the ground in a mess.
He raised his head with difficulty and saw a tall man with an indifferent expression standing next to him.
"Xu Qingyan!" The shock on his face deepened.
"Manager Li." Xu Qingyan nodded expressionlessly and greeted him very politely.
If the long sword in Xu Qingyan's hand was not still dripping with blood, and if Manager Li was not lying in the dust curled up in pain, people who didn't know the situation would probably think that these were two old friends greeting each other.
Sixteen, who was thrown against the wall, coughed up two mouthfuls of blood. He raised his blood-stained face, and the fierce light in his eyes suddenly softened...
"Good brother?" She looked at Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan in disbelief, "Really... good brother?"
"Yes. We are here." Xu Qingyan turned around and without looking at Manager Li again, he reached out and pressed Sixteen's shoulder.
Seeing that the demonic fire behind her had gone out, Xu Qingyan took out a handkerchief with the word "Xiang" embroidered on the corner from his pocket and handed it to Sixteen.
