It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 495

After Cheng Dalei finished speaking, Zhang Fei and Axi both shrugged their heads and couldn't raise their heads.

They didn't know whether Cheng Dalei's phrase "so powerful" was referring to the assassin who mysteriously infiltrated, or the two vicious dogs who were smashed by people. Anyway, it won't be talking about the Xizi team or Zhang Zijun.

"Don't worry, the boss, I will find the assassin and hand it over to the boss for questioning." Zhang Fei gritted his teeth.

"Searching the whole city, she will definitely not be able to escape, even if you dig three feet of dirt, you will find her." Axi said.

The two of them sharpened their fists, and they must mobilize their hands to wash the land in the whole city, and they must also find the assassin to shame.

"Wait a minute."

Cheng Dalei was not too anxious, what should come will come eventually, and he should always find a way to deal with it. That Nie Yinniang was not an ordinary person, and she would definitely not be able to deal with her with ordinary means. Cheng Dalei estimated that the search in the whole city would inevitably lead to a crowd, and the final significance was not very big.

"Could it be that the big boss has an idea?" Axi asked.

"Not yet, but the first thing to do now..." Cheng Dalei paused and said, "Reinforce this house first."

The solution Cheng Dalei came up with really made Axi and Zhang Fei speechless. He drew blueprints, and the craftsmen worked out iron bars to reinforce the four walls of the house. Including windows, doorways, if the walls are removed, Cheng Dalei is equivalent to living in an iron cage. Cheng Dalei has made up his mind that he will not leave home, and his daily meals will be brought in through the crack of the door.

During the construction project, Cheng Dalei sat silently in the room. He was wearing a zhaoyue toad armor, with a sword on his waist, and a ghost-faced axe in a position where he could grab it with one hand.

"Master, is this necessary?"

Xu Shenji stood outside, looking at Cheng Dalei inside through the window.

"10,000 years is not too long to be careful and careful. It's enough to be negligent once." Cheng Dalei couldn't sit still. If he wanted to live safely, he had to sacrifice something.

Now what Cheng Dalei sacrifices is dignity.

"How long does the boss plan to hide like this, can't he hide in it all the time?" Xu Shenji.

Cheng Dalei sighed. As for how long to hide, he didn't know in his heart.

Most people in the cottage know about Cheng Dalei's assassination. Everyone had to be cautious about this matter. The house reinforcement that Cheng Dalei needed was completed in one day.

Centering on the city lord's mansion, the defense was strengthened. Even if Cheng Dalei did not need to search the whole city, it was impossible not to do this work. It's just that there's no need to be so inspiring. However, as expected by Cheng Dalei, the result of the city-wide search was nothing.

The assassin was like a ghost, coming out of nowhere and disappearing out of nowhere, no one knew where she was. But Cheng Dalei knew that she had never left, and now she was hiding in a position she could not have imagined, waiting for the right opportunity to give herself a fatal sword.

Every time I think of this, Cheng Dalei breaks into a cold sweat. Fortunately, I had been on guard earlier, otherwise Nie Yinniang sneaked in without knowing it that night, and she would have lost her life with a sword. When Xu Shenji and others found out the next day, what they saw was the tragic image of their head falling to the ground.

As the days passed, Cheng Dalei did not leave the house a step. Such a day is indeed very boring, and other people can't see each other. Cheng Dalei's daily life is almost like a prison sentence.

However, Cheng Dalei probably knew that Nie Yinniang's life was not easy because he was so boring, and now he was comparing who could bear it more.

In short, this is the seventh night that Cheng Dalei has been hiding.

That night, there was another person quietly on the roof of the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. No one thought that not only did Nie Yin not leave Toad City these few days, but in fact, she didn't even leave the city lord's mansion, so she hid on the beam of an uninhabited house.

Zhang Fei searched all over the city, but there were many female dependents in the city lord's mansion, so naturally a group of soldiers could not rush in. However, after reading it hastily, I couldn't find Nie Yinniang.

She was nestled in the city lord's mansion, listening to the gossip of the servants, and also had some grasp of Cheng Dalei's current situation.

After knowing that Cheng Dalei was hiding in an iron house without leaving home, she secretly scolded cunning in her heart. She has killed many people in her life, some are despicable, some are cruel, but Cheng Dalei is as timid as a mouse, and this is the first time she has encountered it in her life.

Cheng Dalei is waiting, and she is also waiting, waiting for a suitable opportunity to make a move.

Tonight, she quietly left the hiding place, walked on the roof, and walked towards the house where Cheng Dalei was hiding, while also checking to see if the city lord mansion's alert was different today.

If this was a trap, she would have noticed it immediately.

Cheng Dalei's house was still lighted up, and her toes had already landed on the roof, as light as a civet cat.

Nie Yinniang grew up in the mountains since she was a child, and she became friends with the white ape. Over the mountains and ridges, jumping over the house and crossing the ridges is like walking on the ground.

She lifted a tile on the roof, looked inside quietly, and saw Cheng Dalei was reading a book with an oil lamp lit. For a long time he did not move, not even turning a page.

Nie Yinniang had to wonder if this was a dummy. She once had a target to disguise her as a straw man, trying to lure her into the trap, but she naturally failed in the end.

Cheng Dalei yawned suddenly, stood up, took out the toilet from under the bed and began to pee.

Nie Yinniang's eyes didn't shy away, she had killed many people, and in her eyes, the targets were no different from men and women, they were nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered. To a certain extent, she has no concept of men and women at all. She grew up in the mountains and has no friends. She is only surrounded by a nun who taught her to kill. In her eyes, there are only two types of people, those who can be killed or those who cannot be killed.

Not only did she not avoid her gaze, but she also took the opportunity to look at the appearance of Qu Dalei and compare it with the memory in her mind to avoid that the person in the room was pretending to be someone else.

It was confirmed that Cheng Dalei was in the room. He really came up with such a way to lock himself in a cage, thinking that he could escape his life.

I have to say that my thoughts were too naive, and I also underestimated Nie Yinniang.

This iron cage makes it difficult for people outside to come in easily, but when he wants to go out, he can't go out easily.

He hit a grave for himself, as long as he broke into it, within ten breaths, he would definitely be able to cut off his head.

As for Nie Yinniang's own escape, he wouldn't think about it until he succeeded in assassinating the target.

Nie Yinniang took a deep breath and slammed her palm on the roof. With the sound of clattering tiles, she appeared in the room with a palm-sized dagger in her hand.

As soon as Cheng Dalei put on his pants, he heard a loud noise above his head, and before he recovered, he saw a woman standing in front of him.

He finally knew what Nie Yinniang looked like, and he never felt that death was so close to him.
