Chapter 18 – Every Desperate Step (Part B)
Stars flickered in the deep night
A line of dark iron clouds crushed down on an eccentric courtyard in the eastern city
Eccentric, because in the midst of the layers of white-walled, dark-tiled courtyards built in the style of the inner continent, a co-styled wooden villa suddenly protruded out Besides the Han-styled boundary walls and gate, the buildings within the villa were all made of the most primitive cedar-bark structures The hallway pillars were constructed frorain wood, a southern border specialty Ox horn-shaped lanterns could be vaguely seen, sloaying frolow spread out into the distance
Clearly, the builder of this villa that didn’t confor – he held the deepest respect and belief for his birth culture
Late night The villa was silent Wind rustling past the tips of the bayroots had yet to blow over in this direction
“Honorable City Master!”
A sober cry suddenly shattered the an frantically knocking on the door’s bronze knocker!
“Which person issuch a ruckus!” In ally silent villa suddenly erupted out with a deep yell with no sign of drowsiness
On top of the bark-layered building also cauardedly at the night visitor
“This lowly one is Second Guo! Head of the attendants!” The person desperately clanged the door knocker “Citymajor!”
“His Honor doesn’t see anyone at night! Why wait until ht to come disturb!” The voice didn’t back off “Scram back to Su’s hall!”
“Elder Su was assassinated!”
The loud shout cracked stone and shook sky The deep voice inside the gate suddenly hesitated, as if processing the shocking information, after which scattered footsteps could be heard inside the villa A while later a voice rose again, but was not the previous deep voice, but a steely, fierce tone “What is the matter?”
“This subordinate isn’t clear either … there was an assassin … the killer even left a letter on Elder Su’s body!” Second Guo stood back froht within shi+ne on his face, then held out the letter over his head in a deep bow
So over Second Guo and the couple of Guo attendants beside hiht ave an affirmative “en”
The large gate, thicker than normal doors, finally opened
Two ox-horn lanterns drifted out guarded by a group of people Awith Rong tradition, even in the winter he still was bare-chested, only draped with a multi-colored felt robe However, he wasn’t as tall-statured as norht brown eyes darted around with a flash of ferocity that quickly faded
He lifted his head, seeing that inside a wheelbarrow in front of hirass He couldn’t help but pause in shock, saying, “How come you even moved the body over?”
“Your honor” Second Guo bowed down “Elder Su was assassinated nearby He had heard that the Han inside the city were e movements As he hurried over to pass notice to you, an unexpected , that’s why …”
Ah shi+na [1] frowned, saying, “Nearby?” He suddenly thought of so “Let ins”
Second Guo bowed down to deliver the letter When Ah shi+na frowned, the guards beside him immediately rebuked, “Don’tSecond Guo aside, grabbing over the letter in his hands
Only then did Ah shi+na take it As he opened the letter, he walked over to the wheelbarrow Su Xuanyong’s ghastly pale face was exposed to the azed towards the sky, creepy and chilling
Ah shi+na naturally was not afraid of the dead He unhurriedly opened the letter, but the paper seal was stuck very tight As he studied Su Xuanyong’s corpse, he subconsciously licked the seal to wet the paper, then tore it open in a fluid motion
In the mo’s side
As he lifted up the corpse’s grass covering, he went over the thin piece of paper inside the envelope
The parche and powerful, like coiling dragons and dancing phoenixes “Let e for a moment”
In alaze touched the paper, Ah shi+na was i backwards
Unfortunately, it was already too late
A pair of hands – a pair of bloody yet dexterous hands suddenly pierced out of Su Xuanyong’s chest, in a flash passing through the corpse and clawing towards Ah shi+na’s throat!
The hands were like a lightning bolt chasing after starlight, darting and ju in the air When Ah shi+na tried to evade, he suddenly felt the breath in his chest stifling, while his feet unexpectedly turned rubbery! With that moment of softness, the hands had already reached his throat, cla around his throat like steel
Once the fingers gripped him, Ah shi+na instantly felt in his heart that his life was forfeit Despite it only being two hands, the steady power exerted fro one to feel that once caught, they would never be able to escape
The fingers flicked out, sending the bits of flesh stuck on the’s corpse slowly sat up Under the cold e hole in its chest, within which stretched out two hands that grasped Ah shi+na on the neck – no matter how one looked at it, the scene was truly bizarre and horrific
Some were already so scared their feet went numb With a pa sound one of the ox-horn lanterns fell onto the ground, quickly setting ablaze, yet no one scolded the person No one spoke
In their stifling shock, a laugh unexpectedly sounded out like silver bells
“Zhangsun Wuji’s scheloves”
With the laugh, Su Xuanyong’s body suddenly cruure stood up from the wheelbarrow, their hands still clenched around Ah shi+na’s throat Chuckling they said, “Many thanks city enerous I asked to borrow, and you let me borrow”
Ah shi+na stared at the unfa, “Who … are you?”
The youth didn’t answer him They tilted their head to sniff the death odor on their body, then gave a vicious glance toward the distant darkness “Lazy bu to come out!”
A person gave a quiet chuckle A white shadowcal Yue
The youth was naturally Fuyao She extended her arms to push Ah shi+na back “Coht, why are we standing outside the door?”
She shoved Ah shi+na to walk towards the door, swaggering the whole way to the inner room With a sweep of her sleeve the room door shut, after which she pulled over a piece of paper, saying, “I talk, you write”
When she said the first couple words, Ah shi+na’s face changed, and he furiously yelled, “No way!”
Before his voice fell, a hubbub arose outside, sounding like people’s war cries that shook like
