Chapter 13 Longtan Tiger's Den, the City Lord's Mansion
It was dark in the night and the city lord's mansion was still brightly lit.
As a mansion that ruled all areas within a radius of tens of thousands of miles of Zuiyue City, the power possessed by Zuiyue City City Lord is absolutely even better than the royal family if placed in some small places such as in the Western Frontier. At least, whether it is the power in his hands or the strength he possesses, the Yin royal family that Gu Xiao once looked up to was placed in front of the Zuiyue City Lord, and he was simply not worthy of carrying shoes.
Under the command of the Lord Zuiyue City, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and these soldiers are definitely the elite among the elite. Just pulling out a single soldier is much stronger than the most elite soldiers in the Yin Kingdom. Therefore, there is no doubt that as the residence of Lord Zuiyue City, the Lord's Mansion is naturally the dragon and tiger den among the dragon and tiger den.
If the entire Zuiyue City is a bustling and lively scene, with crowds coming and going everywhere, making people unable to feel much pressure, then in this city lord's mansion, there is nothing left except solemn and majestic and murderous aura of the iron cavalry.
Under the moonlight unique to Zuiyue City, the entire city lord's mansion is still very vigilant, with five steps and ten steps. There are soldiers patrolling the city lord's mansion everywhere in dark iron armor. Every time you walk, there are some soldiers who appear stronger and more elite than ordinary soldiers.
Even those soldiers who are patrolling cannot get close to the places guarded by these soldiers. If they get closer, they will inevitably be expelled.
Swish! Swish! Swish!…The sound of patroling teams of soldiers sounded from time to time. These soldiers were all elites selected from the army. Their actions were uniform, and there was no sound at all. Only their footsteps were like one and their clothes were broken into the air.
A team of soldiers patrolled in a small garden not far from the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Their patrol range was relatively large. From the gate of the City Lord's Mansion to this small garden, they patrolled all areas within this range, but there was no even a slight impatientness on the faces of these soldiers.
On the faces of these soldiers, except for expressionlessness, there was no more expression.
Obviously, they have penetrated their discipline deep into their bones and become an indispensable part of themselves. Even if the sky falls, it will not affect their tasks given to them by their superiors. Just from the soldiers in this small team, we can see that the city lord's mansion is really hidden and lying on the tiger.
Puchi! The soldiers had been patrolling more than ten times over. When they passed by the gate of the City Lord's Mansion again for the thirteenth time and confirmed that there was nothing else here, the soldiers turned around and left. However, at the moment they turned around, a soldier walking at the end of the queue suddenly heard an extremely slight muffled sound from behind him. Then, an unprecedented severe pain came from his heart.
"There are enemies!" Years of experience wandering on the edge of life and death told the soldier that his heart had been pierced by a very subtle but powerful force. Driven by instinct, he opened his mouth and wanted to shout these three words. However, as soon as his mouth opened, one hand was blocked on his mouth.
Then, the soldier whose heart vein was pierced, only felt his body move, and his body, which was gradually losing strength, was pulled by a huge force and retreated. He could only watch his other companions continue walking forward without knowing it, but he was powerless.
As for what happened next, he could not know. Because after his heart veins were pierced, his whole body could no longer hold on, and his eyes became dark and he completely lost consciousness.
The soldiers who were still patrolling had not noticed it yet. A companion who had been following them had died silently. Just after the soldier was killed for more than ten breaths, a black shadow fell to the end of the team without any movement. When he looked at the dim moonlight, he clearly was the soldier just now!
However, in the eyes of this newly emerging person, a sneer flashed away.
Swish! Swish! Swish!... The soldiers were still patrolling. When the soldiers patrolled again to the aisle deep in the city lord's mansion, the soldier walking at the end of the queue continued to follow his companions in front of him as if they were normal and walked towards the gate of the city lord's mansion.
The two capable soldiers guarding the aisle were already accustomed to this situation. When they watched the soldiers leave, they did not notice anything was wrong at all. They just continued to guard the aisle they were guarding like two pillars.
However, just as the two soldiers had relaxed their vigilance, the soldier who was at the end of the queue suddenly turned into a black shadow, and he flashed and rushed towards the two soldiers. His figure was so fast that it was comparable to the flash current star. The two soldiers only felt that their eyes were dark, and then a sharp pain came from their throats.
A dazzling and sharp sword light kissed their necks inwardly, cutting off their necks easily without even splashing blood, and they were already dead.
After easily killing the two soldiers, the shadow flashed through the gate behind them, followed the aisle, and rushed into the depths of the city lord's mansion. As for the corpses of the two soldiers who had been killed by him, they continued to stand there as if they were alive, but the figure seemed to be tired of standing, leaning against the wall behind him.
However, if someone approaches and looks, they will find that there is no sharp gaze in the eyes of the two soldiers, and there is only surprise and fear in their eyes.
...
Swish! Swish! Swish! After suddenly killing two soldiers, Black Shadow continued to pounce deep into the city lord's mansion. After passing the gate of the mansion, Black Shadow's figure was still sharp and agile. He walked straight through the aisle and came to a small yard not far from the gate of the mansion.
In this small courtyard, several servants were constantly shuttled, and they were holding some tea cups, towels and other things in their hands. However, the figures of the servants seemed a little squeaky. When they looked carefully, they didn't even have an Adam's apple on their throats.
These people are actually eunuchs!
The black shadow pounced into the small yard under the cover of the night. Soon, a little eunuch hiding in a somewhat remote room became his target.
Crack! The little eunuch was resting in the room, but he didn't know that a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him. Then, with a crisp sound, his neck was broken. The black shadow stood in front of him, letting the little eunuch who had lost his life, and letting the body without any consciousness slide to the ground.
Under the dark night, there will naturally be no lack of candlelight in this room. Even if this is just a little eunuch's room, it is no exception. Under the swaying candlelight of carved golden candles in the room, the face of the black shadow was revealed, and a cold and beautiful face appeared under the candlelight.
This face is Gu Xiao’s face!
Finally, he got in! Looking at the corpse of the little eunuch on the ground, Gu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said to himself.
Although he had long guessed that the Lord's Mansion of Zuiyue City would be very cautious, he could not have imagined that the guard was so strict. It took him so long to leave the mansion and enter the interior of the Lord's Mansion. If he had enough time, he could slowly get involved in the Lord's Mansion.
However, Gu Xiao knew very well that his time was not enough.
When he came in just now, he killed three people. Although he had made some concealment, Gu Xiao knew it and couldn't hide it for long. Naturally, if he wanted to find out what he wanted to know, he had to fight every second. In the shortest time, he could touch the real center of the city lord's mansion.
"Oh, forgot, it's hard to get rid of the tiger now, so I can only try it out." Thinking that there was a steel knife hanging on his head, which could fall down at any time, and cut himself into two pieces. A strand of despair rose from Gu Xiao's heart. While he took off the eunuch's clothes, he prepared what he wanted to do next.
"Xiao Dezi, are you here?" At this moment, a squeaking scream suddenly came from outside the house. As soon as you heard it, people knew that the sound came from the eunuch's mouth. Even when Gu Xiao was calm, he was shocked and his hands were paused.
"Xiao Dezi, come out quickly, Eunuch Wang is looking for you!" Just as Gu Xiao was shocked, the voice outside the door became more and more rapid. Then the people outside the door seemed to be impatient. As soon as they pushed the door, they walked into the room, shouting, "Xiao Dezi, don't be lazy!"
