不断的惨叫声传来,大约十分钟后,陈洛拎着一根完全浸透了鲜血的铁棍回来了.看到这一幕,沙虎帮所有人下意识地吸了一口气,眼神中充满了敬畏.
这真是个狠人啊!
这么多人毫不犹豫地立即杀死了他们.
在灾难中幸存下来的马奎子坐在台阶上,气喘吁吁.当他看到陈洛回来时,眼中闪过一丝钦佩.不管怎么样,陈洛都是他的弟子,也用的是他传授的黑虎拳.
"把他们都杀了?"
"一个都没留下."
陈洛一只手一弹,铁棒飞出,斜着卡在了地上.残存的血滴落下来,展现了上一战的残酷.
"干得好."
旁边的沙虎帮高手忍不住大声喊道.
见陈洛的目光扫过他,他立即站直了身子,恭敬的说道.
"沙湖帮的海沙殿主王大江见过高手."
"陈洛看了他一眼,然后目光又移回了马奎子身上."
"你最后是怎么和他们打架的?"
"法院想要信用,而我们恰好满足了要求."马奎子已经恢复了镇定.尽管失去了一条腿,但他不是普通人——普通人不是他的对手.
"满足条件?"
陈洛皱了皱眉,对士兵们的疯狂残忍有了新的认识.
"你一眼就能看出某人是否受过训练."马奎子看了陈洛一眼——他的眼神不再像以前那样.
他见过很多天才——他自己年轻时也曾是其中之一.但无论多么有天赋,他都从未见过有人在一个月内达到炼骨三段.在这一点上,这不再是天赋的问题——而是他是否是人的问题.
但马奎子已经在江湖漫游了很多年——他知道应该问什么问题,哪些不应该问.所以他故意跳过了陈洛实力这件事,开始告诉他这些步兵的背景,以及他自己的猜测.
"他们制定了这么大的计划,他们杀死的人都只是普通人——骗不了上级,所以他们不得不找一些武术家来充当领导者.""就像以前有人消灭山匪一样,这里消灭帮派的人也在寻找替罪羊."
至于为什么拖到现在,陈洛怀疑一定是有什么他不知道的事情.那些人一开始肯定用过沙湖帮,但后来,当他们找不到足够合适的替代品时,他们开始考虑等兔子死了就把他们扔掉.作为地方势力,沙湖帮自然不会就这样坐等死,这也是为什么才会有之前的交锋.
"何师妹呢?"
"小民被那些人带走了.他们翻遍了青雅县的户籍,寻找符合某个出生日期的女性,小民刚好符合标准. 马奎子说着,脸色一黑.
在江湖游荡了这么多年,他竟然连一个弟子都保护不住.
"在哪儿?"
"我很高兴带领主人."
还没等马奎子反应过来,已经在一旁站了好一会儿的王大江立刻跳了出来.
陈洛所说的何师妹,其实就是他的侄女.
"我以前没有这个能力,但现在我看到了机会,我当然必须尽自己的一份力量."
"陈洛没有理会那个男人,而是将目光转向了马奎子.对他来说,沙湖帮的人都是陌生人.他在这个地方唯一真正信任的人是他的师父马奎子.
"这个人可以信任."
马奎子明白了陈洛的意思,点了点头,只说了一句话.
"And the others?"
"No one on the imperial court side is your match. The strongest is a general, a peak-level practitioner of internal cultivation, skilled with a spear."
"Alright."
After exchanging a few simple words, Chen Luo prepared to rescue the person.
"He came back this time to find more heads like the 'royal family brain.' Killing people was definitely unavoidable. The people he had just killed — their brains had already been collected by him, and he replaced them with a batch of jianghu wanderers' brains he had originally gathered at the mass grave. It could be said to be quite a fruitful harvest."
"He grabbed Wang Dajiang's shoulder, and his internal energy instantly flowed into him.
Wang Dajiang was startled, and before he could react, he found himself being lifted and swiftly carried away to the other side. A man weighing over two hundred pounds, and yet in this person's hands, he felt as light as a child. Just this single move was enough to make Wang Dajiang completely convinced."
"Over there, on Yangliu Street to the right."
During the flight, Wang Dajiang quickly pointed out the direction.
Chen Luo swiftly adjusted his posture and changed direction.
"This is the place."
"Twenty minutes later, Chen Dahe pointed to a large courtyard ahead and whispered a sentence.
'The county yamen?'
Chen Luo lifted Wang Dajiang and jumped down from the wall, glancing at the building ahead, his brows slightly furrowing.
Compared to other common people's homes, the county yamen was much more troublesome."
"Not only was the wall high, but the guards inside were much stronger as well. As soon as he landed outside the wall, Chen Luo immediately sensed several powerful auras. One of them, even though he had already reached the Bone Refining stage, still made him feel a sense of threat. It was likely the imperial expert his master, Ma Quezi, had mentioned."
"This was the imperial court, the official power of the country, so it's no surprise that there were so many powerful experts. This was still Qingya County, a remote area, and the fact that so few experts had come here was already telling. If there were more of them, Chen Luo would definitely turn around and leave without even trying."
"I saw Xiaomin and Brother He being captured and brought here. At the beginning, these corrupt officials promised not to touch our Sha Lake Gang." As he said this, a trace of hatred flashed in Wang Dajiang's eyes.
The imperial court's flip-flopping had led to the deaths of many capable members of the Sha Lake Gang, including Wang Dajiang's own family.
"With the imperial court, just listen and that's enough."
After confirming the location, Chen Luo prepared to go in and kill.
With so many experts, the brains he harvested after killing them would definitely be more useful!
"Go ahead, you won't be able to help with what comes next."
Chen Luo reached behind him to grab the iron staff. This staff was one he had picked up earlier from the side of another soldier's corpse when he left. It was cleaner than the previous one. The earlier staff had been used to kill too many people, making it smell too strong and unsuitable for stealthy kills.
"I'll wait for you outside."
Wang Dajiang wasn't foolish and knew his own limitations.
Chen Luo paid him no mind. He took a few steps outside the wall, found a spot behind the wall with no presence, then pushed off the ground and leaped over.
Such a nimble and effortless move left Wang Dajiang in awe.
He was just a martial artist at the Blood Qi stage and hadn't even cultivated internal energy. While he could handle ordinary thieves on a regular day, he was no match in a place like this.
After leaping over the courtyard wall, Chen Luo discovered that it was a back garden.
The garden's layout was exquisite, with a cobblestone path, a fish pond, and a rockery. At the end of the path was a pavilion. Next to the pavilion was a bamboo waterwheel, with water flowing down from the rockery, falling into the bamboo tubes and slowly turning the wheel. The bamboo tubes occasionally made a crisp sound.
"This thief soldier really knows his way around. There's not a trace of looting in the governor's yamen." Chen Luo sneered, tightening his grip on the iron staff.
He had suspected that the magistrate of Qingya County was in cahoots with those people, and now his suspicions were confirmed.
"First, let's find someone and ask for directions."
Chen Luo determined a direction and followed the small path into the estate.
After passing the small garden, he came to a row of side rooms. Inside, several maidservants were washing clothes for the master's family. Compared to the inferno outside, this mansion seemed like a completely different world, untouched by the outside world in the slightest.
