I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 942 "Warming Up"

That night.

Dahui, Guyang County, Pingyun County.

"Brother, it's here"

The dark night sky is covered with dark clouds, and the moonlight is dim and indifferent.

The surroundings of a small courtyard are quiet, but if you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that there are hundreds of black shadows slowly sneaking in the same direction.

These people were all dressed in night clothes and covered their faces. Even the blades in their hands didn't reflect light at all. They should have been painted with black ink.

Only the vicious tiger embroidered on the corners of their clothes swayed slightly in the moonlight.

Obviously, these more than a hundred people are from the same sect, and their strength is not weak.

And as for what they are going to do... Judging from such a posture, I am afraid that they are undoubtedly going to take the lives of the people in this courtyard.

"Go!"

Following the leader's low shout, hundreds of black shadows sped up and shot silently towards the small courtyard.

In the four directions of south, east, north and west, dozens of people climbed over the courtyard wall and rushed into the candlelit wooden house with long knives in almost a blink of an eye.

It's just that after a sound of tables and chairs being overturned, someone ran out of the house soon.

He ran all the way to the head of the masked man, leaned on the latter's ear and lowered his voice:
"Brother, no one."

"."

Frowning, the leading masked man was silent for a while, then snorted coldly:
"Hmph, keep looking! He won't be able to escape very far!"

"Yes!"

"."

Like a flock of flying crows, within a few breaths, more than a hundred men in black fled in all directions, and quickly disappeared into the night.

At the same time, on a forest path not far from here, a man and a woman were hurriedly walking by the moonlight.

They are exactly what these men in black are looking for, and they are also two people Wei Changtian is very familiar with——

Chu An and Qin He.

"Sister, Mr. Xiang, what's the matter, tell me."

With a tear in his voice, Qin He firmly tugged at the corner of Chu An's clothes, asking this question for the tenth time tonight.

Chu An looked at her with a heavy face, and after some hesitation, he still didn't tell the truth, but said softly:
"Don't ask, you just need to remember what I told you."

"When we leave Pingyun County, we will separate for the time being. No matter who asks you later, you have to say that you don't know me."

"Remember?"

"I"

Qin He bit her lips tightly, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

She was crying and just about to ask something more, but Chu An's eyes changed at this moment, and he suddenly reached out and hit Qin He on the back of the head, and immediately picked up the fainted latter, and fled towards the depths of the woods at a faster speed .

"Shhhhh!"

After a dozen or so breaths, several masked men stopped where he had just stood.

Someone squatted down to check the footprints on the ground, and then pointed to the direction where Chu An was escaping.

"Flee over there."

"Chase!"

"."

"Lieutenant Tang, did our family disturb your rest?"

Dajue, capital city.

Dozens of Imperial Guards in golden armor stood inside and outside a certain private house. The old eunuch in charge squinted his eyes at the bewildered Tang Chen, and explained with a half-hearted smile:

"It's just that His Majesty summoned you to enter the palace immediately to face the saint, and our family can't help it."

"I also hope Captain Tang will pack up quickly, so let's enter the palace with our family."

"Eunuch Zhang, why did His Majesty call me into the palace?"

As if he just came back to his senses, Tang Chen asked the old eunuch in a low voice: "I wonder if the father-in-law can reveal a thing or two to the villain first, so the villain should make preparations in advance, right?"

"Our family doesn't know."

The old eunuch shook his head: "Didn't you know when Captain Tang went?"

"That's good, let me go back to the house and change my clothes."

"Well, if our family goes to help Captain Tang straighten his sleeves, Captain Tang shouldn't mind?"

"...How come, then there is Mr. Lao."

"Lieutenant Tang is polite"

Turning his head and winking at the imperial guards, the old eunuch Xuan Shi followed Tang Chen into the back room.

Obviously, he should be very confident in his own strength, thinking that it is absolutely impossible for Tang Chen to escape from his hands.

What's more, it seemed that Tang Chen hadn't heard the wind outside, and had no intention of running away at this moment.

"."

Standing at the door of the house, looking coldly at Tang Chen not far away who was wearing a robe facing the mirror, a greedy smile appeared on the corner of the old eunuch's mouth.

But at the next moment, when Tang Chen suddenly turned his body sideways, and his eyes met the old eunuch's eyes after the reflection of the bronze mirror, the latter's body froze suddenly, and his eyes became incomparably hollow at a certain moment
"you."

After a few breaths, the old eunuch pushed open the door with a slightly sluggish movement, and calmly ordered to the imperial guards outside:

"Go back to the palace first."

"Eunuch, this."

Everyone in the imperial guards was stunned when they heard the words. After looking at each other for a few moments, someone was about to speak, but was interrupted coldly by the old eunuch:

"This is an order from His Majesty just now!"

"Ah! Yes! I'll go back to the palace after this!"

No one dared to question him, and soon a group of guards left Tang Chen's residence and headed back to the palace.

And not long after they left, the pale Tang Chen also came out of the house.

He walked up to the motionless old eunuch, reached out his hand and took out a golden token with the highest "peer authority" from the latter's arms, and then walked out of the courtyard quickly without hesitation.

After another hundred breaths, the old eunuch standing alone like a puppet slowly raised his right hand, and immediately slapped it on his chest.
"."

"boom!!"

"Bang bang bang!!"

Xinfeng, Fengyuan City.

The sound of fierce fighting came from an alley, and the screams of pain spread far away, causing the surrounding residents to panic and close their doors and windows.

"Ah!! Killing people!!!"

The watchman who happened to be here just glanced into the alley, and immediately ran away yelling, looking in the direction that he was going to the Yamen to report the crime.

Shouts of terror pierced the night sky, but they failed to stop the fighting in the alley.

It wasn't until nearly a stick of incense, with the last desperate wail, that the surroundings returned to calm again, only the strong bloody smell permeated the air.

"Da da da"

The slight sound of footsteps came from far to near, and then stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Looking around, Shen Ran, who was covered in blood, had a gloomy face and extremely cold eyes.

He paused for a while at the entrance of the alley, and then disappeared in a flash.

Behind him, in the narrow alley, there were more than a dozen corpses lying in a pool of blood.
Chu An, Tang Chen, Shen Ran.

Dahui, Dajue, Xinfeng.

As agreed, the above three people were chased, assassinated, or besieged almost at the same time.

Obviously, it is not the same group of people who intend to take away their luck, nor are they instructed by the same person.

Well, this can only show that there are three different forces that have decided to "strike first and be the strongest".

These forces not only found their location in a very short period of time, but also organized a very threatening "hunting operation".

Of course, judging from the current results, all three of them escaped for the time being.

But that doesn't mean they can rest easy from now on.

Because this is not the end, not even the beginning, maybe it can only be regarded as a "warm-up".

After all, as time goes by, it is foreseeable that there will only be more and more actions against them, and they will become more watertight and difficult to parry.

Not just Tang Chen and the three of them.

The same goes for the other seven people who are still alive.

These children of heaven will live in a crisis-ridden situation for a long time to come.

More importantly, this kind of danger not only comes from the "outside", but also may come from any relatives and friends they once trusted
"Son."

Dagan, Xiling Mansion.

It was still the inn, and it was completely dark inside and out at the moment, except for a room in the back room that was still lit by a candle.

Beside the dim flames, Zhang San gently placed the two envelopes in front of Wei Changtian, and whispered:

"The secret letter just came."

"One is Yan Huaiqing."

"One is from Zhuang Zhiming."
