娜妲莉的情人

New Year\'s Eve, noon.

The streets of Linji town were completely empty.

Even the ordinary people in the town knew that they should not go out today.

They all very tactfully closed their doors, watched their children closely, tied up the animals in the yard, and prayed that the new year would pass quickly and safely.

The merchants who usually traveled to and from the town did not appear today. After all ... It\'s the New Year\'s Eve. For us Chinese, if you can only rest for one day a year, this is it.

Of course, not everyone had found a place to hide.

In addition to the martial arts practitioners, the drunkards, ruffians, and ruffians in the town were also curious. With the help of some alcohol, they gathered in the dark alleys and street corners.

After all, it was a rare opportunity ... They also wanted to see what kind of good show those "heroes of the martial world" would put on.

"Sect master, we\'ve checked everything. Only beggar\'s sect has more people than us. The other sects only have around ten people at most, but ..." The man hesitated halfway through his sentence.

"But what?" Tu Ji asked coldly.

"It\'s just that ... Although they are few in number, more than half of them are strong ..." The Mad Tiger Gang spy\'s martial arts were average, and only his Qinggong was considered outstanding. However, he had the ability to tell which people were the real experts, and this ability ... Made him feel rather uneasy.

"What\'s wrong?" Tu Ji instantly saw through his thoughts and cast him a cold look."Are you afraid?"

His glance made the Scout tremble and his heart stop.

At this moment, there were only the two of them standing in the small courtyard facing the street. The rest of the Mad Tiger Gang\'s men had already set up an ambush in the nearby area.

In other words, if tu Ji was unhappy and executed the spy on the spot, no one would care.

"I ... Deserve to die ..." The spy knew that all his thoughts could not escape tu Ji\'s eyes. Instead of quibbling, he might as well admit his mistake.

"Hmph ..." Tu Ji laughed,"in comparison, are you more afraid of them or me?"

This question was very difficult to answer, and it seemed that both answers were wrong.

That was why the Scout didn\'t dare to answer. He just stood there ... He was so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat.

"Actually, the answer to this question ... Doesn\'t matter." A moment later, tu Ji looked at his subordinate and revealed a satisfied expression."Actually, I\'m the same as you. I\'m afraid too." He paused and said calmly,"I\'m afraid of death, afraid of losing, and afraid that I won\'t be able to get the sword dance grass record tonight."

Hearing this, the fear on the Scout\'s face faded a little, replaced by a trace of doubt.

"It\'s right to be afraid. Fear can keep you away from danger. " Tu Ji continued,"but you can\'t lose your calm, your sense of propriety, or even your position because you\'re afraid ..." When he said the last two words, he deliberately emphasized his tone."Remember ... The more afraid you are, the more you know what you should do and do it well."

"Your subordinate understands!" Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down the spy\'s face. He looked at tu Ji gratefully and bowed."Thank you for your teachings, gang leader!"

"Mm ... You can go." After tu Ji said this, he turned around and waved his hand, signaling the man to go out and explore again.

When the Scout received the order, he immediately used his light-body technique and left the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

Tu Ji was still standing there, deep in thought.

From the outside, this mad Tiger Gang\'s leader seemed like a rough man, but in reality, he was as cunning as a Fox, as cruel as a Wolf, as poisonous as a snake, and even more ferocious than a Tiger ...

The way he dressed, the way he spoke, even the name of his gang and the name of his unique martial arts ... They were all disguises he had deliberately put up.

He just wanted others to think that he was a rough man, a martial artist, and then they would look down on him and let their guard down.

Objectively speaking, he was very successful ... Duan Keyi\'s death was a good proof.

In fact, Duan Keyi was not the only one.

Last night, the Mad Tiger Gang had ambushed ten experts, and none of them had survived. As for how many disciples of those experts had died, no one would count.

This success rate was not a coincidence. It was because the targets that tu Ji chose were all targets that he was "confident" in.

Before he made his move, he had not only investigated these people\'s martial arts, age, and physical condition ... He had also investigated their habits, hobbies, special quirks, and so on.

As for those that he could not investigate, such as Wang Qiong (who was more thoughtful than tu Ji), Leng yuqiu, Daoist Mian (no sect, always alone), and so on, he would not act rashly.

This was tu Ji\'s principle in doing things. The first to be defeated was not to be defeated, and the second to be defeated was to wait for the enemy to win.

However, this strategy would not work today.

At least ... With the strength of the Mad Tiger Gang, it was impossible for them to set up an "undefeatable" plan.

Therefore, just as tu Ji had said ... He was very afraid.

However, the situation today was worth him worrying about. It was also worth him giving up the part that he could not control with his wisdom to the so-called "destiny" and "luck"... To take a gamble.

Creak creak

The sound of the door turning interrupted tu Ji\'s thoughts.

He turned around and looked at the wooden door several meters away from him.

It was the door of a house.

Although tu Ji had taken the courtyard as his stronghold, he had not obtained the permission of the owner of the house. Of course ... He didn\'t think that the owner of the house had the guts to open the door and argue with him.

But now, the door of this house was opened, and the two people who walked out did not look like ordinary people.

"Ha ..." Looking at young master Sword and not a scaredy cat walking towards him, tu Ji revealed a self-deprecating smile."I was careless ..." He muttered to himself,"even if I couldn\'t sense the inner force, I should have entered the house to take a look ..."

When tu Ji came here this morning, he had indeed considered breaking into the house and killing the resident. However, he was still afraid of causing more trouble, so he only used his inner energy to check outside the house. After confirming that there were only two people in the house and there was no reaction of inner energy, he came to the conclusion that "there were only two ordinary people in the house."

"If I remember correctly ..." As he spoke, tu Ji had already prepared himself to face the enemy. However, he remained calm and collected on the surface. He looked at young master Jian and said,"this should be young master Huangfu ..." As he spoke, he looked at not a scaredy cat and continued,"and this ... Is heroine Chai."

Tu Ji had already bribed the manager of ke Lai Xuan; so he knew everything about the inn like the back of his hand; With tu Ji\'s wisdom, it wasn\'t difficult for him to remember the names of every guest.

"You\'re very well-informed, chief tu ..." Not a scaredy cat said."This is the first time we\'ve met, but you seem to be very familiar with us."

She reacted very quickly. Almost immediately, she thought of how the other party had found out her and young master Jian\'s names, so she immediately tried to test him.

​ "Hmph ... I\'m just \'well-informed\'..." Tu Ji sneered and replied,"but you guys ... Are \'powerful\'." He paused for a second before he continued,"putting aside the fact that the two of you were able to escape from Leng yuqiu yesterday, let\'s not talk about the fact that you can conceal your inner energy. What I\'m most curious about is ... How did you manage to ambush me in this room?"

This question indeed made tu Ji very puzzled, because he had also decided to choose this house as his stronghold at the last minute this morning. If he wanted to set up an ambush in advance, he could only do so if he had the foresight.

"There\'s no such thing as an ambush," Flashes of sword replied in a very relaxed tone,"it\'s because we knew that last night wouldn\'t be peaceful, so we decided to leave the inn and find another place to stay. We don\'t want to get involved in any unnecessary trouble. So ... We just found a Random House to hide in. " He shrugged his shoulders."The family received some money (the money they extorted from Leng yuqiu was enough to support this family for a year) and left the town happily. They were prepared to spend ten days and half a month at the lady\'s home before returning."

His words were half true and half false.

"Avoiding trouble" was only one of their reasons for coming here. In fact, their main purpose was to lay an ambush for the raw fish slices and Zen dream.

The two men from the martial world were not easy to deal with. When they entered the town, they naturally noticed the two-man order group and the sound shells.

However ... Sword Master and not a scaredy cat could not use Xu Huai Shang\'s extremely difficult technique of using their own abilities to "turn invisible" in the music. Thus, they came up with a plan to wait for Lao Ai and bi an to act as if they were completely unaware of their surveillance. They ate, drank, and rested. They would also chat with various NPCs in town and gather information as if they were playing a single player RPG game. At night, they would even find a house to hide and rest, as if that would be all.

All of this was to create the illusion that "we don\'t know we\'re being watched". But in fact, they were constantly on guard against the enemy\'s movements, ready to counterattack when the enemy attacked.

Who knew that at night, the raw fish slices were finished by Xu Huai Shang. As a special item generated from the raw fish slice skill, the sound shell also disappeared with its death.

As for young master Jian and not a scaredy cat, they didn\'t dare to act rashly upon seeing this ...

If the two of them were outside the town, they would have nothing to worry about. After they noticed the disappearance of the music shell, they could enter the town without any worries. However, they had entered the town during the day ... This meant that their position was still within the enemy\'s grasp the moment before the sound shell disappeared.

In that case, they had to consider the possibility that the enemy had deliberately made the music shell lose its effect to create the illusion that "the surveillance had disappeared", so that they would reveal their flaws.

With that thought, they could not move around anymore and could only continue waiting.

He waited until morning, but instead of raw fish slices and Zen dream, the Mad Tiger Gang came.

Who would have thought that ... Tu Ji would choose this courtyard as his hiding place and meeting point. His gang members were also waiting for orders with this place as the center.

Since things had come to this, young master Jian and not a scaredy cat might as well not come out. With their hearing, they could hear every word that tu Ji said in the courtyard clearly even if they sat in the room without moving. They could use the communication between tu Ji and the various spies to grasp the situation in the town and quietly observe the development of the situation.

"Oh?" Tu Ji didn\'t really buy young master Jian\'s explanation."So, according to you, it\'s just a coincidence that you two appeared in this room?"

"Whether it\'s a coincidence or not, it\'s no longer important," Not a scaredy cat continued.

"Then what is important?" Tu Ji didn\'t beat around the bush and asked a direct question.

"We\'re out. This is important. " Flashes of sword said.

Tu Ji pondered for a moment and felt that what the other party said made sense. He couldn\'t help but ask in his heart,"Why did they come out of their own accord? If they wanted to eavesdrop, they should have stayed in the room. If they were going to launch a sneak attack, they wouldn\'t have opened the door so openly.

"In that case ..." Tu Ji\'s mind was also very quick."What is it that forced you to come out?"

"Yes, I am." Flashes of sword said.

"Can you tell me the reason ...?" Tu Ji asked.

"Of course you can." Young master Jian didn\'t mind telling the other party the reason why they left the house, because even if he didn\'t say it, the other party would find out very soon.

"Someone has entered the town." Young master Jian and not a scaredy cat exchanged a look before responding.

"What kind of person?" Tu Ji said.

"I don\'t know his name." Young master Jian replied.

"Then you should know something else." Tu Ji said.

"Ah ..." Young master Jian\'s expression turned serious, and he said seriously,"all I know is that ... His martial arts skills are very high, to a level that you can\'t even imagine." He paused and added,"also ... He has \'sword dance grass\' on him."
