One long and three short knocks were like magic, causing a crack to suddenly appear on the intact plank.

The person who came was about to pull the wooden boards along the crack, when suddenly two whimpers of wild cats came from behind.

"Duan Zang doesn't hate cats the most?"

The visitor hesitated for a moment, but he quickly pulled the wooden board away and stepped in.

The board was closed again from the inside, and under the moonlight, it was still a complete missing board.

It's as if no one has ever been in this alley, and the tavern has been closed for a long time.

The wild cat whimpered again, and it seemed that it should be closer this time.

The visitor seemed to be very familiar with the furnishings and rooms in the small hotel, turned around in the dark, and disappeared under the counter.

With a slight "crack", there seemed to be a ray of light coming out of the counter, but it was only a glimpse, and the whole small hotel was soon shrouded in darkness and dead silence. [

Under the counter is a small secret room.

Inside was a middle-aged man with gray hair. His hairline had receded to the point where he was almost bald, making him look older than his actual age. At this time, he was concentrating on the game of chess in front of him, as if he was thinking about his next move. Where to put it, there is still a sunspot in his hand.

For the "visitor" who appeared suddenly, the middle-aged man had to break free from his contemplation, but his eyes still did not leave the chessboard, and he said in a low voice, "Taima, aren't you accompanying Master Heihachiro in Mingzhou?"

Tajima is a short man in black, with a cold light in his eyes: "Master Duan Zang Hei Hachiro is dead."

"How is this possible!" Duan Zang raised his head in surprise, and the sunspot in his hand fell on the yellow pear wood board involuntarily, and made a crisp sound: "Master Heihachiro is strong and strong, with outstanding sword skills, and he is saved by the secret method of flying sickle." Xu Jie Chuan"

But Ma didn't want to argue with Duan Zang, who usually has a "slick tongue", but took out a white paper bag from his arms, messed up the chess game, and gently placed the white paper bag on the chessboard.

If it was normal, Duan Zang would be furious if Tajima dared to mess up his chess game, but now seeing Tajima's actions, Duan Zang's hands trembled slightly.

"What is this?" Duan Zang's question also had a trembling voice.

"It's Heihachiro-sama's hair." Tajima gritted his teeth and said, "I cut it off the corpse secretly before cremation."

Duan Zang gasped, took two slow and deep breaths, and stretched out his hand to open the small white paper bag.

Inside was a lock of hair, Duan Zang touched it with his hand, as if he had touched hot charcoal, he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Dead?" Duan Zang's throat trembled up and down: "How did you die?"

But Ma Mian was ashamed: "Not only Heihachiro-sama, but all the Dongying warriors in Mingzhou were dead. It was a guy named Ximenqing who besieged him with overwhelmingly superior soldiers. Heihachiro-sama and Kansaburo were captured alive." Hanging at the gate of the city naked to show the public. If I hadn’t been in charge of liaison work, I’m afraid I would have died at this moment.”

"Caught alive?" Duan Zang couldn't believe it.

"When Heihachiro-sama was hanged up, he was already seriously injured." Danma clenched his fists: "More than a dozen bones were broken all over his body, and the bruises are scary! Kansaburo is still in the death cell of Mingzhou Prison. on." [

"Ximen Qing!" Duan Zang repeated the name several times in his mouth: "Why didn't you rush to report the letter before the Song Dynasty envoys? Ximen Qing and the envoys have been living in Dazaifu for several days! Otherwise otherwise"

Dan Ma sighed: "The fleet of their envoys is going smoothly, how can I catch up?"

"Gather good players and stop the envoys on their way to Kyoto! Kill them all!" Duan Zang slapped the chessboard fiercely, and the chess pieces scattered all over the ground, murderous: "Our loss is too great! Master Heihachiro is dead! It's too miserable!"

There was a sudden silence in the secret room.

It seemed to be a footnote to his words, and a wild cat whimpered from nowhere, which made people panic.

"Duan Zang, don't you dislike cats the most?" Dan Ma couldn't help asking, "Why are there wild cats in this alley?"

"Shh!"

Duan Zang sternly signaled Dan Ma not to speak, but pricked up his ears to listen.

The stray cat kept meowing, and this time it seemed to be on top of the two of them in the small hotel!

But Ma's face suddenly changed, and Duan Zang sneered: "What kind of wild cat, it's clearly a human!"

Strange to say, after Duan Zang yelled, the "wild cat" suddenly disappeared.

But Ma Chong made a gesture to Duan Zang, Duan Zang understood, and turned the mechanism under the table, and a gap appeared in the sky above the secret room.

But the horse tiptoed, and his body jumped out of the small gap like a ghost. Duan Zang also rolled up his sleeves, showed a short knife in his hand, and rushed up after Tajima.

The small hotel clock was completely dark, only the light from the secret room below illuminated a small area.

After Duan Zang and Tajima rushed up, they didn't stay for a moment, but quickly merged their bodies into the darkness and observed carefully.

If the enemy was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two of them just now, it must be somewhere in this small hotel.

As long as he shows up in the open

But Ma held the flying sickle in his right hand, buckled two bitters in his left hand, and suddenly sweated a little on his back.

The person who came here can deceive his vigilance and follow all the way here, which shows that he is a master.

Those cat meows were really lifelike, if Duan Zang hadn't always been allergic to cat fur, he would have been almost impossible to detect.

But Ma is mainly responsible for liaison work, but at least he has two flying sickle patterns; and Duan Zang is mainly responsible for planning the liaison station with Hakata, with average skills but good brains.

"The person here is careless."

Duan Zang felt as if he had grasped something. No matter who came, speaking of his familiarity with the interior of the small hotel, he definitely couldn't compare with Tajima, let alone himself.

Almost in an instant, Duan Zang had already estimated several places where the enemy might hide.

"Beside the pile of wine jars in the front left, behind the broken tables and chairs in the back right."

Duan Zang quickly painted on Tajima's hand, communicating in this way.

"I'm on your right."

But Ma Qiang responded forcefully, and the two of them took a deep breath slowly, and when they were about to rush out, there was a sudden sound of flute from a high place, which seemed particularly bleak in the dark night.

The scalps of the two were numb, when did the enemy already reach the roof?This is absolutely impossible!

As soon as Duan Zang heard it, he knew that the flute music was not owned by Dongying.

"go!"

Duan Zang and Tajima sent signals to each other almost at the same time, and the two figures emerged from the darkness. I don't know what mechanism Duan Zang pulled, but a piece of the roof suddenly fell off, and the hazy moonlight suddenly seeped into the yard.

The two went up to the roof amidst the clearer flute sound.

Under the moonlight, there was a young man sitting cross-legged on the roof not far away, playing a bleak flute with great concentration, he seemed to be familiar with the appearance of Duan Zang and Tajima.

Under the feet of the two, a wild cat whimper sounded at the same time.

"go!"

Duan Zang and Tajima don't need to think about it, two against two, they have no chance of winning at all.

The identity of the person who came was already very obvious, [-]% was a member of the Great Song Mission, that is, Ximen Qing's subordinate.

When someone "touches" the door, the other party must be prepared. In this situation, as long as one can escape, there is a possibility of turning the situation around.

The two of them fled in two directions without saying a word. This was the best choice.

The direction of Danma's escape is the already quiet port and sea, while Duan Zang is still a little noisy market.

The sound of the flute suddenly stopped, and while running wildly, Duan Zang's pricked ears suddenly heard the sound of a bow and crossbow.

Without hesitation, Duan Zang stepped hard, and a hole was opened in the roof of the thatched hut, and his body fell rapidly.

"Master, do you think Third Master and the others can succeed?"

Xue'er seemed a little worried when she heard the flute sound coming from a distance.

"Don't worry." Ximen Qing looked at the moonlight outside, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If they are not fully sure, they will not make a move. The sound of the flute means that there are not many opponents, and they have already started to attack."

Serena listened quietly at the side, her veiled face was slightly strange: "How does Master Ximen know that the opponent is moving in Bodo?"

"Prevent it before it happens, at least before we leave, we must ensure safety." Ximen Qing said with a smile: "But if it is me, it is time to make some noise. Hei Hachiro's death is not an issue in Mingzhou. Secret, the person who wants to report should have arrived."

"It's just that I didn't expect that he came so slowly." Ximen Qing continued, "It's not a good luck to catch up, otherwise we will slap our ass and leave tomorrow, and we won't have a chance."

Serena didn't speak, as if she was waiting for something, Xue'er muttered: "Master is amazing!"

Of course, Ximenqing did not tell the whole story. In fact, Kikuko knew about Heibachiro's arrangements in Hakata, but Ximenqing did not take the initiative to attack, but waited for the person who came to report from Mingzhou to appear, and then told Heibachiro here. All his men were removed.

Ximenqing wants to cut off Heihachiro's line, so that he can face that Heihachiro's backstage in Kyoto.

That is the power Da Nayan Fujiwara Komi who invited Ximonqing in the name of Emperor Toba this time!

But the speed of the horse was very fast, but there was no trace of "chaos" in the breath, and the sound of the flute suddenly disappeared, which proved that the enemy had already started to attack.

I don't know if Duan Zang can escape the pursuit?The one who dealt with him was the young man blowing the flute, so the one chasing him should be the "wild cat", right?There seemed to be no movement behind.

In the blink of an eye, the port has arrived.

But the running figure of the horse stopped suddenly, because an enemy had already appeared in front of him.

An enemy he couldn't imagine.

And the weapon held by the other party was beyond his imagination.

A sea breeze blew away the dark clouds in the sky, and the hazy moonlight became brighter.

Under the moonlight, Dojikiri is emitting a cold light like water!
