If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 58: One to six, crushing with strength [asking for first order]

"on!"

The leader, a man in black, gave a low order.

"Wait a minute!"

Ding Xiu shouted loudly.

Several men in black were stunned and glanced at the leader subconsciously.

At this time, Ding Xiu said again: "If I guess correctly, you are all killers of Qingyi Tower. It is said that Qingyi Tower has a rule not to kill court officials, right?"

Tsing Yi Tower is the most mysterious killer organization in the world.

It is said that it was established less than 20 years ago, but it has risen rapidly in just a few years and has assassinated many famous heroes and sect masters in the world, as well as some notorious demons and criminal thieves.

They don't distinguish between good and evil. As long as the price is right, they can kill both decent people and evil people.

But one thing is that they never kill the court officials. It is said that they abide by the unspoken rule that the court and the rivers and lakes are not in conflict with each other.

The reason why Ding Xiu guessed that the other party was the killer of Qingyi Tower was because he found a small tower-shaped emblem on the other party's clothes.

This is exactly the hallmark of Tsing Yi House.

If he was the killer of Tsing Yi Tower, why would he make an exception to kill him?
Is it a fake?

"on!"

The other party seemed too lazy to talk nonsense with him and waved his order again.

The five men in black said nothing and rushed forward waving knives or swords.

Although Ding Xiu is a brave man with great skills, he also knows that these guys are probably top killers. He must not fall into the enemy's encirclement carelessly and must defeat them one by one.

So, he focused on the killer closest to him on the right, held the knife in both hands, and rushed over like a tiger descending a mountain.

At this time, the opponent's encirclement has not yet formed, and the other four killers have no time to reinforce.

Seeing the ferocity of Ding Xiu's approach, the killer hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward with his teeth and sword drawn.

In the blink of an eye, Ding Xiu was already approaching his opponent.

When the two sides were three or four steps apart, he suddenly jumped up. Using the momentum of his body, he raised the knife high and slashed it down hard.

This move has no skill at all, just like a knife chopping firewood.

"boom!"

A dull sound sounded in the night sky.

The power of the sword actually caused the killer to roll over and over like a kite with its string broken, causing him to vomit blood.

The knife flew to nowhere, and his right arm was limp and unresponsive. It was probably useless.

The killer leader who was standing aside watching the battle couldn't help but shrink his eyes, feeling slightly uneasy.

They had already inquired about the target's details and knew that Ding Xiu was a ruthless person with extraordinary strength, so they carefully set up a trap and sent several top killers in the organization to ambush him.

Now it seems that they still underestimated their opponents.

He could clearly see the sword strike just now. Although the target's weapon had a certain advantage, its instantaneous burst of power was too astonishing.

In just one encounter, they lost one of their elite members.

Just as he thought, Ding Xiu had already rushed out of the opponent's encirclement, and then rushed towards the other killer with a knife.

This guy uses a sword.

When he saw Ding Xiu slashing at him with his sword, he didn't dare to take it head-on. He hurriedly dodged to the right, hoping to use his dexterous sword skills to entangle the target first and buy time for his accomplices to form an encirclement.

But the next moment he knew he was being too conceited.

He originally thought that Ding Xiu was just stronger and would not be as good as him in terms of movement and speed.

But he never expected that as soon as he moved, Ding Xiu's figure would come up to him like a ghost. The light of the sword passed by, and he hurriedly raised his sword to resist.

"boom!"

Unexpectedly, Ding Xiu's sword was just a feint, and he kicked it at the same time.

However, he was still the top assassin in Qingyi Tower, so the guy's reaction was quite fast. He took another step to the side and narrowly avoided the kick.

Unexpectedly, Ding Xiu launched a series of attacks, and then swung his sword diagonally, bringing up a canopy of blood flowers.

At this time, another killer stabbed him from behind with a sword.

Ding Xiu, as if there were eyes on the back of his head, suddenly rushed forward, and at the same time raised his hand to grab, the newly injured killer staggered forward involuntarily.

The killer who drew the sword was unable to stop himself in time and stabbed his accomplice in the waist.

In the blink of an eye, two of his men were eliminated, and the killer leader finally couldn't help but kill himself.

Unfortunately, it was still difficult to reverse the defeat.

The reason why Tsing Yi Tower scares many people is not only because they act strangely and appear elusive, but more importantly, they almost never miss a beat.

Their top killers are enough to rank among the top masters in the world.

As a result, Ding Xiu became a third-rate pair. He was passively suppressed and beaten by Ding Xiu, completely failing to take advantage of his superiority.

This is the gap in strength.

Several wolves are indeed very ferocious when encountering ordinary prey, and their fighting power is also very strong.

Once it encounters a fierce tiger, it basically becomes a lost dog.

In fact, even if Ding Xiu is surrounded by the opponent, he can easily win with one against six. After all, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not on the same level.

It's just that he likes stability.

Mentally, you can look down on your opponent, but when it comes to fighting, you must be ruthless.

This is his principle.

Not long after, only the killer leader was left standing, barely able to stand.

This was the reason why Ding Xiu was merciful. He didn't hurt this guy's vitals and only left a few stab wounds on his body.

He needed a live interviewer to see if he could get some useful information, such as who the employer was.

Although Ding Xiu had long guessed that the employer was probably the Fan family, he still needed personal confirmation and a confession from the other party, so as to add another crime to the Fan family. "Put down the knife, maybe you can live a few more days."

"Haha..." The other party smiled coldly: "Even if I can't kill you tonight, I'm afraid none of your men will survive."

"is it?"

Ding Xiu smiled teasingly.

Seeing this smile, the killer leader couldn't help but feel nervous.

Is it...

Sure enough, Ding Xiu said slowly: "Do you think you are very smart? Did you use a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
I might as well tell you that as soon as your friends enter the courtyard, there will be at least twenty crossbow arrows aimed at them.How many do you think they can avoid? "

"you……"

The killer leader was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He thought he had a clear picture of his opponent's situation and lured Ding Xiu away. The men he sent would definitely be able to easily deal with the other Jin Yiwei.

The result... twenty crossbow arrows?

Where is it?
He thought Ding Xiu was scaring him, but in fact, Ding Xiu still kept a few items. In addition to the crossbow arrows, he also had more than ten muskets.

Since he was planning to fight in Datong Mansion, how could Ding Xiu not prepare more manpower?
Including Pei Lun, they have also quietly arrived at Datong Mansion.

However, they are all broken into parts, disguised as businessmen, ordinary people, etc. and sneak into the city to wait for help. They will not show up until the critical moment.

Ding Xiu added: "Think about it, all your accomplices are lying dead at this time. But you still have a chance. As long as you cooperate well, maybe I will let you live."

"You underestimate our Qingyi Building too much. You want me to tell you the secret of Qingyi Building in your next life, hahaha!"

The killer leader laughed like crazy.

Something is wrong!
Ding Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to step forward and knock this guy out.

As a result, the other party spit out a large mouthful of black blood, shook his body, and then fell to the ground.

Ding Xiu couldn't help but frown.

No wonder few people in the world know the secret of Qingyi Tower. Once these guys fail in their mission, they take poison and die, and they can't even ask for a confession.

However, after a person dies, the body still has to be taken back, maybe some clues can be found.

"call out!"

Not long after, an arrow rose into the sky, streaking a brilliant light in the night sky.

……

Sure enough, when Ding Xiu returned to the small courtyard of the post house, there were already five corpses lying in the courtyard, obviously the same group as the previous group of Qingyi Tower killers.

Pei Lun stepped forward with a concerned look on his face and asked, "Brother Ding, are you okay?"

"What do you say?"

"Haha, that means it's okay..."

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside.

A small flag hurriedly ran in from outside: "Reporting to you two adults, the Jin Yiwei Baihu of Datong Mansion has brought people over."

"Oh?" Ding Xiu frowned: "This guy got here really fast...let him in."

"Yes!"

In the early Ming Dynasty, the responsibilities of the Jinyiwei were mainly responsible for the emperor's ceremonial guard and escort. They were only stationed in the capital and never left the capital.

Later, it gradually developed and expanded. There were people who tamed elephants, farmed fields, and controlled horses. Their number reached more than [-]. Each major city had a hundred households to monitor the world.

This is only the number of people on the surface, there are many spies secretly, and the number of people is even more difficult to count.

After a while, Zeng Hu walked to the courtyard with a few of his men.

As soon as they saw Ding Xiu and Pei Lun, they hurried forward and bowed: "I'm sorry to see you two adults!"

Although he claimed to be humble in his humble position, the status of a member of the Jinyiwei family stationed abroad was almost marginalized and could not be compared with the family of Fusi in Beizhen.

Ding Xiu stepped forward and held Zeng Hu's hand, smiling and saying, "Master Zeng, there is no need to be polite!"

"It is a dereliction of duty. Fortunately, the two adults are safe and sound..."

At this time, Pei Lun said with a meaningful expression: "I'm afraid Mr. Zeng is very disappointed, right?"

Zeng Hu's face changed with shock and he said anxiously: "I am so humble and scared. I wonder why your Excellency said this?"

Ding Xiu waved his hand: "Okay, let's go inside and tell you... you guys will stay outside and no one is allowed to come near."

"Yes, my lord!"

Zeng Hu felt uneasy and followed Ding Xiu and Pei Lun into the front hall.

"Master Zeng, sit down."

"Thank you sir!"

"Speaking of which, we all belong to a hundred households. Mr. Zeng doesn't need to be so formal."

"Yes, yes..." Zeng Hu smiled awkwardly and unconsciously raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Drink tea!"

"Thank you sir."

After chatting for a while, Ding Xiu suddenly asked: "What does Mr. Zeng think of tonight's events?"

"This……"

"What? Mr. Zeng didn't dare to say it, or was it difficult to say it? Or...you already knew that someone would come to assassinate you?"

Zeng Hu looked pale and said anxiously: "Sir, I'm humble... I really don't know anything."

Pei Lun smiled happily: "Haha, you don't know anything. As a householder in Datong Prefecture, you are not aware of such a big thing?"

Speaking of this, Pei Lun suddenly turned cold and said with murderous intent: "Then what use does the imperial court have for having a hundred households like you?"
