Chapter 21: The Sharp Knife Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Here was Slave Qi’s plan:
“ThatFu well When he first “patronized” the brothers, they had learned through their resistance that Han shi+qi could not be defeated even by the coht slave boys Therefore, they had resolved to kill hiht of assassinating Han shi+qi caiven that they were in Golden Roc Fort The key was theto assassinate was an experienced killer
As it was impossible to kill him bare-handed, they had to equip themselves with a sharp weapon Slave Xie solved this proble while he was fetching food fro, rather small but razor-sharp
Next, they needed someone to divert Han shi+qi’s attention Since the brothers were chosen again, they had to make yet another sacrifice
“I want to see him die with my own eyes,” Slave Xie cursed He seldo his teeth
The last andwas that someone had to deliver the final stab That was the ht Slave Huan’s help
“You’re the best in Kung Fu You can kill hi this praise fro Master of the Gu fah he did not project a semblance of superiority, he secretly believed that he could defeat most people in martial arts circles His recent experiences these days had been ruthless in revealing the truth—even the manor servants who had failed to beat hi He could not even take down a co to take on this task, for Han shi+qi was not only the villain whom he coveted but also the hidden traitor who had caused the extermination of his entire family It had been a er to put a sharp knife into his eneeful beast inside his ?”
They did not ht about it afterward, he found the whole matter inconceivable They were so anxious to kill Han shi+qi that they had no time to think about the result
Gu Shenwei had just seen a man die in front of him the previous day, and he felt that his heart was still hardened He ireed and took possession of the sharp knife, which was ser, from Slave Xie
The last time Han shi+qi had “patronized” the brothers, it was in Slave Ji’s roo this time Since this room was the most comfortable one in Firewood Yard, Slave Ji would be judicious to sleep in another room
Gu Shenwei needed to sneak into the roo on when Slave Ji would call roll and when he left the room If Gu Shenwei could not find an opportunity, he would have to give up, leaving the brothers to suffer the humiliation
Gu Shenwei used to clean Slave Ji’s room, so he knew its layout well It was a raised bed instead of a brick bed there, which was good, for he could hide under the bed and wait for the moment that Han shi+qi reposed himself, and then he would stab him from beneath the bed
The sharp knife was so short that they decided to wear down the wooden handle down to reveal the three-inch-long tongue of the knife Then they bounded two slats to the tip of the tongue, which , sufficient to strike clean through the plank of the bed before stabbing into the body lying on it
The tieet to an appropriate position and voice the secret signal, which was “brother” Upon hearing that, Slave Huan lying under the bed would immediately stab upward
There was another proble under the bed could not be discovered in advance, so he had to be very, very quiet Han shi+qi asp After all, he himself was a killer with sharp ears and keen senses
If Gu Shenwei had not entered into the First Level of Yin Strength, he would not be capable of lying soundless and still Now that he could control his Internal Breath, he could also control his breathing
They had a rehearsal Gu Shenwei lay down on the brick bed, trying hard to breathe silently and continuously The brothers ca attentively, and then gave their judg, Gu Shenwei could not control his ti very well, but after a bit of practice, he could control his breathing for a longer tied to keep it steady for a quarter of an hour
A boy happened to co on the bed, and his face suddenly changed He turned around to run out at once, alh it made for a hilarious scene, it also re the eyes and ears of the five other boys
Slave San, Slave Xin, Slave Lei, Slave Qian, and Slave Zhao were all of a timid temperament, as they had been influenced so deeply by Slave Yao that they had accepted their fate as slaves quickly after they entered the fort, which meant they would be happy to betray their co soht for a while Finally, he said nothing about it except, “I’ll handle it” He left alone, and returned with their lunch, saying, “It’s over”
Slave Xie wandered around the yard and secretly talked with every boy inside Finally, these five boys went to Slave Ji and claimed that they would even rather live in the shabbiest house than share a roo in Firewood Yard recently, there were sufficient elad to do theave his order—Slave Huan was not allowed to take a single step out of the room
“I told the to drive the evil spirit out of you” Slave Xie grinned and explained to Slave Huan He was more talkative and intimate with Slave Huan than before
“Haha Well, I’ve got many evil spirits to drive out ofsorcery?” Slave Xie asked curiously, who had obviously been holding onto this question for a long time
“Don’t be rude, it’s none of your business” Slave Qi pulled his younger brother behind to stop hi on privacy
