Chapter 496 Wuli Village

In an abandoned yard somewhere in the capital, deep in a dry well or in a cave.

Wu Yan sat in a corner of the cave, chewing a steamed bun with a calm look.

But he was calm, but some people were not.

A woman was tied to a stone pillar in the cave. She had been tortured beyond recognition. Her facial features were almost invisible. An unknown amount of flesh had been cut off her body. Blood was flowing all over her body, gathering into a pool at her feet.

At this moment, her eye sockets, which had been dug out and were completely empty, were facing Wu Yan, and she uttered a hoarse and painful plea: "I beg you, I beg you! Kill me! I have told you everything you want to know! Kill me, I beg you..."

Wu Yan ignored her and turned his gaze to the ground not far away.

There, piles of corpses were piled up.

In recent times, he has dealt with many people from Wuli Village.

Of course, he also paid a lot of price - Wulizhuang and Xiyu Pavilion worked together, and they were not weaklings. They soon discovered what Wu Yan was doing and set up an ambush to ambushed him.

The most dangerous time was when Wu Yan met the most powerful assassin in Xiyu Pavilion and almost didn't escape...

He had the impression that the killer was the second person taken in by His Majesty after him. That person also had a name, Jiang Qi...

But since Wu Yan was able to escape, it means that even the most powerful killer cannot kill him.

So, one by one, people from Wuli Village were quietly brought here by him.

Torture, interrogation.

"Please speak!"

The woman screamed and cried, "What else do you want to know? Tell me! I'll tell you everything! I just ask you to kill me!"

Wu Yan swallowed the steamed bun and spoke calmly: "You said that the number of patrols outside Wuli Village should be set at ten people, with shifts every three hours, and each person is responsible for a two-mile radius."

"But your previous companion said that Wuli Village does not have patrols in order to conceal itself. They only set up secret sentries inside the village. If anyone approaches, they will wait until the person enters the village before killing him."

"You, didn't tell the truth."

Hearing his words, the woman was startled and her body stiffened.

"I... I didn't lie!" She said hoarsely, "That person lied to you! If you really thought there were no patrols and you approached without being on guard, you would definitely die!"

Wu Yan looked up at her calmly.

After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Also, you didn't tell the truth about how many masters there are in Wuli Village..."

He spoke calmly and indifferently, while the woman became more and more frustrated.

"…Therefore, there is not a word of truth coming out of your mouth."

Wu Yan said calmly: "So, I won't kill you. You will have to live like this for a long time."

“I, I, I, I, I didn’t lie to you!” The woman’s hollow eye sockets shed tears of blood as she cried out, “I really didn’t lie to you! They were the ones who lied to you, they were the ones who lied to you!”

Wu Yan lowered his head, took another bite of the steamed bun, and chewed it slowly.

Of course he was cheating.

After this period of intensive interrogation, he has learned how to break down a person's defenses and how to get the truth out of him.

Among those he tortured, many indeed told lies.

But it doesn't matter. What so many people said is enough for him to piece together the complete information.

Wuli Village is located on a small hill five miles north of the capital, hence the name Wuli Village.

It was once a summer resort of a wealthy businessman from Beijing. Later, the wealthy businessman fell into poverty and Wuli Village changed hands several times. No one knows who it belongs to now.

There are ten people patrolling the periphery of the villa, changing shifts every three hours. Each person is responsible for an area of ​​two miles in radius. The patrollers do not show up easily, as they are all experts in hiding... but they also will not easily kill anyone who gets close.

After all, this villa is very close to the capital. If someone approaches and is killed, it will be too easy to be discovered.

There is a maze outside the manor. If someone who does not understand the maze and is not from Wuli Village approaches, they will just circle in the maze and finally leave Wuli Village in a daze.

And if someone can really pass through the maze, he is most likely coming for the villa - at that time, the patrol will report the person's information to the villa, and after he enters the villa, he will be killed by the people who are ambushed in the villa.

Wu Yan swallowed the steamed bun, his eyes solemn.

How to enter Wuli Village was actually not a complicated matter for him.

The real trouble comes from the masters in the village.

This Wuli Village...in addition to training a group of killers, it also took in many masters.

Most of those masters are notorious villains in the martial arts world, or people who are being hunted by powerful forces and have nowhere to go. They are not all in the capital. Some of them are kept in other places and are only called upon at critical moments.

The middle-aged scholar who had been staring at him on the Yifang Bridge, and the bald old man who made Wu Yan feel extremely dangerous, were both masters taken in by Wuli Village...

Wu Yan was not sure he could kill these people.

"Let's go take a look first."

He thought so.

So he swallowed the last bite of bun, stood up and walked towards the woman.

“Kill me… wuwuwu… kill me…”

The woman had lost all her strength to shout; she hung her head and kept crying.

Wu Yan had no sympathy in his heart, but even under the dry well in the deep courtyard, a woman who kept crying was always an unstable factor...

So when he passed by the woman, the woman's crying stopped.

A deep cut was made in her throat, cutting off her cries, her breathing, and her life.

The woman showed a look of relief, and her body slowly went limp and she stopped moving.

Wu Yan walked out of the cave, stepping on the broken bones and corpses on the ground.

An hour later, he quietly arrived two miles north of the capital, left the official road, and walked towards the depths of the hill where Wuli Village was located.

Now he had already changed out of his eye-catching red clothes for linen clothes, and also replaced his rapier with an ordinary walking stick.

There were countless wrinkles on his face, a dry, messy gray beard on his chin, and age spots on his skin.

A poor, hunchbacked old man with an extremely ordinary face... no one would pay attention to him.

Wu Yan supported himself on the ground with his walking stick and climbed up the mountain with some difficulty.

Soon, there was no road in the mountains, and the lush forest blocked the way... At this time, he also began to realize that someone nearby was staring at him.

Is it someone from Wuli Village patrol?

"wrong……"

Wu Yan's eyes darkened slightly: "We haven't entered the maze yet, and this place is not on the patrol route of Wuli Village. Who is this?"

He did not rush to expose the other party, but pretended to slip and fall to the ground, and he deliberately threw his cane aside.

The feeling of being stared at did not go away, but instead grew closer.

Wu Yan pretended to get up from the ground with difficulty and reached out to pick up the cane.

Just as this "old man" picked up his walking stick and stood up shakily, he stepped on a round stone again, slipped again, and his body tilted and fell to one side.

But this time, he didn't fall!

The leaning body took advantage of the momentum to tilt, and the walking stick suddenly flashed with a flash of light, stabbing into the dense bushes on the side!
