Chapter 5 Killer

The footsteps are heavy, but without losing agility and speed, it shows that the people who come up are not strong and fat, but have heavy objects on their bodies.The footsteps were chaotic because more than one person came up, there should be four with the same heavy footsteps.The footsteps were scattered, but the voices were not chaotic, which showed that the four people who came up were lifting their feet and landing in the same way. This is a phenomenon that can only occur after uniform and strict training. Qi Junyuan did not hide his curious expression and looked towards the stairs.This is a normal behavior of ordinary people, and it is also the behavior that attracts the least attention from others, because the appearance of doing so is no different from other tea drinkers.

What came up were four armored guards patrolling the streets. Sure enough, they were not big and fat, but all of them were as vigorous as leopards.It is true that their footsteps are heavy, because they are wearing short-sleeved iron armor, iron wrist guards and shoulder pads, and they also carry broad-faced long knives with jujube wood fish skin sheaths, and short daggers with curved iron sheaths. All these add up to a heavy weight weighed dozens of catties. In order to successfully complete the killing task and escape smoothly, Qi Junyuan had a detailed understanding of the deployment of officers and soldiers in Tanzhou.Generally speaking, the patrolling guards in Zhoucheng are under the control of the governor's yamen, but this is not the case in Tanzhou.Because this place is a hub city, there are eight gates and four gates on the land road inside and outside the city, and four gates, eight gates and four gates on the waterway. There are many key positions for city defense, and many soldiers are needed for garrison.Therefore, in the military, the Dudu Mansion was specially set up to govern the left and right dragon and tiger camps.Zuolongying is the water army that manages the waterways, and Youhuying has two teams of horse infantry, responsible for city defense.Although the Tanzhou Xunjie Tiejiawei is under the name of the Youhuying Infantry Army, it is actually a guard army directly under the jurisdiction of the Dudufu. It is responsible for patrolling the city, protecting important parts of the government offices, and assisting officials at all levels in Tanzhou The guards should do a good job in the safety protection of officials.Therefore, the street patrolling armored guards are all the best soldiers carefully selected, and then undergo rigorous training and assessment.They have a strong individual combat ability, and the group attack and group defense of multiple people and entire groups of people are even more powerful.Moreover, these iron armored guards are not just reckless men who fight and kill, they are not inferior to the six doors in skills such as patrolling, distinguishing suspicions, and tracking.

Coincidentally, the four armored guards patrolling the street were sitting on a table behind Qi Junyuan.The long knives around his waist were taken off from the rings, and they were placed horizontally on the side of the table, pressed down with his left arm.This is the standard quick draw state, and one of the most practical states to be prepared for and prepared for a raid.But when you come to the teahouse and place the knife like this, is this a habit formed by the iron armored guards through strict training?Or did they come to the teahouse not to drink tea at all, but which one did they want to raid?

Qi Junyuan used the time to swallow a sip of tea to go through all the details of his actions in the past two and a half days.Assassins are different from ordinary people, so there will definitely be abnormal behaviors. There are many methods to cover up the abnormal performance in the basic skills taught by "Valley of Lianhen", but no matter how extreme the training of these methods is, they are still passive in the end.Because abnormal phenomena exist after all, all the cover-ups we do are actually just to magnify the negligence of others. While the tea was pouring down his stomach, Qi Junyuan confidently made a judgment that he had no loopholes.During the whole process, he escaped all the surprised or lingering gazes, even the Huachuan girl who stayed with him all day couldn't fully see his features.Qi Junyuan felt that unless there was a stronger master than himself here, it would be possible to catch his traces, and he would not let himself be aware that he caught his gaze.But if such a master is after him, why use these armored guards patrolling the streets to attack him?

An armored guard stood up and pushed away the chair, then walked towards Qi Junyuan.Qi Junyuan's heart tightened, and his fists were also clenched tightly. But the armored guard didn't come towards Qi Junyuan, but slowly turned to the other side of Qi Junyuan's table and stood in front of the half-open window. Qi Junyuan's heart relaxed, his body relaxed, and his fists relaxed.The fist can kill, but it is not the most effective weapon for killing. Relaxing it can take the weapon.The movement of the body first needs to be coordinated, and the purpose of relaxing the body is to react and act faster and more timely.The heart is the node of thinking and judgment. Relaxing it is to find the best and most effective attack method, as well as the confidence to succeed with one blow.

This time Qi Junyuan didn't swallow a sip of tea, so his judgment just now took less time than swallowing a sip of tea.Iron armored guards are good at group attacks and fighting in groups, and now the positions of these four iron armored guards just form a "pointed dendrobium cover" formation for him.The three armored guards beside the table are "sharp dendrobium", which can attack and kill themselves from three sides in the shape of horns.And the armored guard who came to the window had to buckle the cover. He sealed the window to prevent himself from jumping off the building and escaping.At the same time, you can also interfere with yourself along the wall, drive the entire formation to move, and force yourself to the corner.In that case, he could only face the attack of the four people directly in the end.Then if there are other armored guards downstairs to reinforce, or if the fight attracts patrols and soldiers on the street, then the chance of escape will be slim.

"We must act first, with the fastest speed and the most direct means." Qi Junyuan told himself inwardly. "The fastest and most direct, then you can't take out the weapon from your body, but use your current posture as the starting point, do a set of the most simple and coherent movements, get the weapon during the movement, and then realize all the attacks." There is another reason why Qi Junyuan is not going to use the weapon he is carrying at this time, because his weapon is quite special, so even if he escapes smoothly, his own characteristics will be exposed. Soon, Qi Junyuan found all available weapons.Learning killing skills in Lihen Valley, the first basic lesson is how to use weapons, not only the unique weapons that I am familiar with, but all weapons that can be used to kill people.So when he actually started the assassination, he could already use everything around him as a killing weapon.Some people say that when you have a fast horse and a sharp knife, killing becomes a kind of joy.But Qi Junyuan is not like this. In his opinion, it is a kind of happiness to kill with a weapon that is least likely to be a weapon.

However, although it is important to find a weapon, it is even more important to consider the tricks and steps in place. "In the first round of moves, you can kick Jindou backwards at the moment when Xiaoer is serving tea, and hit the temple of the armored guard on the left with the back of the official hat chair under the seat, even if you can't knock him out. , or at least make him dizzy for a moment, unable to move. Then with his left hand, he hit the long knife sheath on the left side directly against the chest and abdomen of the armored guard facing him, causing him to bend over in pain and lean his upper body forward. At the same time, the right hand Take the teapot in the second tray and slap the back of the iron armored guard on the right side. The heavy one will be unconscious, and the light one will be the same as the left one, dazed and unable to move. After finishing these, immediately back away and push the table where you drink tea Hit the armored guard in front of the window and push him against the wall. At the same time, he pulled the long knife held in his left hand out of the scabbard."

Thinking of this, the waiter in the teahouse was already bouncing up to the second floor with the tea tray in one hand and the copper pot in the other. "In the second round, use the chopsticks on the table with your right hand to penetrate the eyes of the armored guard who is pressed against the wall, and penetrate directly into the brain, killing him immediately. Kick the copper pot in the second hand with your foot, and let the pot The mouth is inserted obliquely from the lower jaw of the armored guard on the right side, and penetrates directly into the brain, killing him immediately. Standing forward, push the edge of the knife drawn out with the left hand, and cut across the neck of the armored guard on the left side, killing him instantly. Hold the table in the right hand Put the broken teapot tiles on it, and cut across the left neck vein of the armored guard in front, killing him instantly."

It's very simple, it only takes two steps to kill the four armored guards, and it's solved in the blink of an eye. At this time, the waiter in the teahouse was only three steps away from Tiejiawei's table, and he could already feel the heat of the boiling water in the copper pot he was carrying. Qi Junyuan rested his hands on the edge of the table, and his buttocks had left the chair, in a flat-end horse stance.Its momentum is like an arrow on the string. A sing-song yell stopped a killing.The teahouses in Tangzhou are very distinctive, and Xiaoer will shout a few words when serving tea and snacks.Report what the guests ordered in a half-talking and half-singing form, which is somewhat similar to reporting the names of dishes in northern restaurants.

"A pot of Maoya spring flowers, the three masters smell the fragrance and forget home. A pot of red cliffs and green tops, Master Liu, you specialize in unique products. Four-color snacks, cakes and fruit cakes, the four masters will be satisfied and comfortable after eating—" Before Xiaoer could stop yelling, Qi Junyuan had already landed his butt on the chair again, and withdrew his hands from the side of the table to the handle of the chair.He decided not to do anything, because the four armored guards were not targeting him, they might have been really tired from their errands and sneaked in for some tea. It is very simple for Qi Junyuan to make such a judgment. If it is aimed at him, then if the person who comes is a simple-minded armored guard, he may come up and do it.And the Iron Armored Guard with a quick mind and a bit of strategy would order some tea and snacks first, and take the opportunity to sit close to him.The situation of these four people coming up is a bit similar to the latter, but if the four people are really here to carry out the mission to arrest themselves, then they should be very casual about what tea and snacks to drink, because their minds are not on tea and snacks.But in fact, these four people ordered two kinds of tea, taking care of one of them's special preferences, so meticulous and thoughtful can only show that they really came to drink tea, and they were not ordered to go to the teahouse to arrest someone. Several armored guards were talking in a low voice while drinking tea and eating snacks. Qi Junyuan was very close to them. Although he couldn't hear every sentence clearly, he could probably hear that the four armored guards were complaining. In fact, this is a manifestation of the overall quality. If it is a soldier of the Dragon and Tiger Camp, complaining on this occasion must be yelling, or even swearing.And this kind of angry venting will make their thinking ability, observation ability, and judgment ability equal to the state after drunkenness, so the content of scolding often reveals information that should not be disclosed.Iron armored guards have special requirements in these areas and have undergone certain training.Only drinking tea and not drinking alcohol is one of the strict requirements, and one of the requirements is not to talk nonsense in public, and cursing and complaining in the street is one of the public nonsense.Talking softly in public places like they are now, is trained. Conditions such as distance, volume, and speed of speech can ensure that the companions can hear clearly, but the people next to them can't.This meant that Qi Junyuan was sitting behind them. If it was another person, it would be impossible to hear some of the content roughly. "You said that the internal defense of the governor's yamen is true. Just an unnamed letter from nowhere, they believed that someone was going to attack the little household supervisor on Sanqiao Street. If someone made trouble, Make trouble, then we will be treated like monkeys."
