Chapter 38: The Pavilion of the Storm II

On April 13th, in the evening, the river breeze was blowing, the afterglow of the sunset was sprinkled on the river, sparkling, merchant ships, fishing boats, passenger ships, all began to dock, the Yangtze River, which had been busy for a day, began to rest, the lights on both sides of the river were bright, still lively, and the quiet Yangtze River contrasted with each other.

Fengbo Pavilion, Tan Lang looked at the river, he stood for a long time, he had been waiting for three days, it was almost time, the time was almost up.

He knows that Taicang County is the port of the Yangtze River, and the merchant ships that come and go will pass through here, the river is open, there are many business travelers on the shore, there are many inns and restaurants, and it is very easy for the prey to get out, and this is not a good place to hunt.

But because of the Fengbo Pavilion, it has become a good place, and the Fengbo Pavilion is the only way to enter Taicang County.

A flat boat on the river, Mo Xiaotian is sitting on it, alone.

Different from Tan Lang's thoughts, Mo Xiaotian knew that due to the large number of merchant ships and developed freight here, it has been a battleground for the Tianlong Gang and the Jiangnan Wulin League over the years, there are fifteen wharves on the north bank, and there are eleven wharves on the south bank, and all the freight warehouses are managed by the Rashomon of the Tianlong Gang and the Taihu Gate of the Wulin League, but although the two families have small conflicts, they have always maintained the well water and do not interfere with the river water, and want to assassinate here, this is undoubtedly challenging the two major forces of the Tianlong Gang and the Wulin League at the same time, Gao Chi would be so stupid? Or is it a hoax in the first place?

Yipinju, one of the three famous buildings in Beijing, has always been a pastime for dignitaries and nobles, often full, and there is no day of desertion, except today.

Today, there is only one table on the second floor here, with only two dishes and chopsticks on it, Gao Chi is sitting in front of him, waiting for someone, and there is silence all around, and eleven black-clothed people wearing masks downstairs are standing there motionless.

The shopkeeper stood outside the door, smiling all over his face, and kept saying to every customer who wanted to enter the store: "I'm sorry, this place was chartered today"

Soon, a person walked into Yipinju, dressed in white and white-haired, quite a bit of style, it was Xiaotian.

As soon as Xiao Tian came in, he immediately closed the door of the store and went straight to the second floor, obviously to see Gao Chi.

"You're here!" Gao Chi smiled at the sight of Xiao Tian.

"Yes, my lord," Xiaotian replied.

"How's going on in Jiangnan?" Gao Chi asked.

"No problem, as you might expect, he agreed," Xiaotian smiled.

"Well, this mission is not trivial, and it must be completed," Gao Chi said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I'll do it myself this time, and it'll be fine," Xiaotian said.

"Where's Kang Jinlong? will he come?" asked Gao Chi.

"Today is April 13th, and there are still two days to go, so I think he should already be in the Storm Pavilion," Xiao Tian said.

"yes, he's used to being in advance," Gao Chi said.

"Uncle Shen, you can bring half of the zodiac this time, I don't know which ones you want?"

Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "Void Sun Rat, Fang Day Rabbit, Pleiades Chicken, Winged Fire Snake, Lou Jin Dog"

"Hehe, you really chose them," Gao Chi laughed.

"Well, the location of this assassination is in Taicang County, which is not a good place, once the prey escapes, the pursuit is particularly important, among the twelve zodiac signs, it is their light skills that are the best" Xiao Tian analyzed.

"Okay, try to be the fastest this time, at least you have to hold them back," Gao Chi said coldly.

"Yes, my subordinates have orders!" Xiao Tian said.

"Bring this jar of Du Kang wine to them to practice!" he said, and brought up a large jar of wine at his feet.

"Thank you, my lord, my subordinates are ready to go," he said and bowed.

Gao Chi waved his hand and motioned to step back.

So, Xiaotian left with a large jar of Du Kang wine.

Then, Gao Chi took out a piece of paper from his arms, slowly spread it out, only to see some patterns drawn in circles on it, like a map, look carefully, it is still written on the names of Shaolin, Wudang, Tianlong Gang, Wulin League, and other sects, the name of each sect has been marked, there are hooks and circles, and then, I saw Gao Chi slowly stretched out his index finger, respectively in Shaolin, Wudang, crossed a fork, and finally the index finger fell on the three words of Tianlong Gang, and after gently drawing a circle, he never left, just kept watching, has been silent, no one knows what he is thinking……

On April 15, early in the morning, the sky had just dawned, and today, it was raining lightly and drizzly, and the river seemed to be a little misty.

Fengbo Pavilion, Tan Lang has been staying there, he has already woken up, it should not be said that he has not slept all the time, drinking wine, looking at the calm river, looking very dignified.

On the river, it was still that small boat, Mo Xiaotian was also drinking, and he didn't sleep all night.

On the shore, the boatman roared: "Anchor"

Everyone seems anxious, and when people are nervous, they get anxious.

The river is breezy and misty and rainy.

Not far away, several black figures slowly walked over and went straight to the Fengbo Pavilion.

Tan Lang looked at it from a distance, he knew that it was them, they came, they were very punctual, killers, they had to be on time.

Several people gathered in the storm pavilion, they all sat down, and they didn't speak, these people, Tan Lang was very familiar, but they still didn't say a word, not even a greeting, they looked very heavy.

Tan Lang didn't speak, just stood like that, looking at them, no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long time, the Winged Fire Snake opened its mouth and smiled: "Brother Kang Jinlong is still the same majesty!"

Tan Lang still didn't speak.

The Winged Fire Snake said again: "Today, I hope that the eldest brother can take the brothers home safely!"

"Home, hehe!" Tan Lang sneered.

"Big brother hasn't been home for a long time, and the brothers are very worried!" said the winged fire snake, still smiling.

Tan Lang knew that it was a typical smile hidden in a knife, "Today, I will take what I want, you go back to your home, we don't owe each other" Tan Lang said.

"You owe each other a pair of hands," roared the Winged Fire Serpent.

"You want my hand?" Tan Lang asked with squinted eyes, his eyes were very weird.

"It's not me, it's the zodiac, the eldest brother left the zodiac without a sound, and he must give an explanation to the brothers!" said the winged fire serpent, smiling.

Tan Lang said coldly: "I see that you are not here for the mission today at all" As soon as the words fell, Tan Lang's sword had already fallen on the neck of the Winged Fire Snake, however, it was also at that moment that four cyan short swords appeared around Tan Lang at the same time, four swords that were the same as Tan Lang.

For a moment, no one spoke, it was very quiet, the air was full of murderous atmosphere, only the river wind was still blowing.

"Hehe! I can't imagine that I have been gone for so long, and you have become more tacit," Tan Lang laughed.

"Really, I'm afraid it's a little bit off, isn't it?" the Winged Fire Serpent smiled.

Tan Lang also laughed and didn't speak, yes, it was indeed a little worse, his own sword. He understood, Xiaotian understood, and so did the Winged Fire Serpent.

Tan Lang slowly put away his sword and sat aside, and those people also collected their swords and sat down at the same time, waiting for something.

On the surface of the river, a flat boat, swaying, a pair of eyes are quietly watching everything that happened in the Fengbo Pavilion, yes, it is Mo Xiaotian.

After looking at it for a long time, Mo Xiaotian said to himself slightly: "It's still a little short", he understands that if it is a real top master, he will definitely be able to break through from the moment just now, because they have a fatal flaw, especially when several people do it at the same time.

The river wind is still changing, not parting, the light rain is still there, misty like smoke, one after another, mixed but not chaotic.

Not long after, two more figures came from a distance, and when they looked up, they were Xiaotian and Leng Yunxi.

When Tan Lang saw Leng Yunxi, he immediately stood up and looked at her, watching every step very carefully, until the two of them entered the Fengbo Pavilion.

Seeing this, the winged fire snake smiled slightly, he knew that Tan Lang's fatal point was reached.

Leng Yunxi looked very indifferent, his eyes were blank, his face was expressionless, and he didn't speak.

Xiaotian took her hand, looked at Tan Lang and said, "You guys go and prepare, Xiaoyun and I will wait for you at the inn in the county", also expressionless and serious.

The Winged Fire Serpent smiled: "Don't prepare, you've already warmed up, you just need to tell us what the goal is and what the plan is."

"There is no plan, I don't know the age, appearance, or gender of the target, but I only know that every year today, there will be a "ferryman" passing by here and going to Taicang County," Xiaotian said.

"There are thousands of ships passing here every day, how do you start?" the Winged Fire Serpent asked.

"Once ashore, this pavilion is a must-stop for them, and the 'ferryman' will be dressed in purple robes, which should not be difficult to identify with your abilities," Xiao Tian said.

"So, the timing of the target's appearance is unclear?" Winged Fire Serpent asked.

"Hmm" Xiaotian nodded slowly, then turned to leave.

Hearing this, Tan Lang had a strange expression and a puzzled face, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Kang Jinlong, remember our agreement" Xiao Tian walked as he walked.

Tan Lang didn't speak, and turned his head to look at the river......

On the river, it was still Ye Bianzhou, Mo Xiaotian stared at the two people on the Fengbo Pavilion with a pair of eyes, and never left.

Tan Lang turned his head to look at Mo Xiaotian's boat, then at the river, and finally at the Winged Fire Snake and the others, and didn't speak for a long time.

"What are you doing in a daze, what are you going to do after watching it for so long?" asked the Winged Fire Serpent.

It took a long time for Tan Lang to squeeze out three words "impossible" from his mouth

The Winged Fire Serpent was stunned, "What is impossible?"

"It's nothing," Tan Lang said.

"Hehe, what? have you forgotten how to give orders?" the Winged Fire Serpent laughed.

Tan Lang was silent, maybe he really forgot.

"Then I'll teach you, wait, everyone waits, wait for the target to appear, and then it's not too late to do it, Void Sun Mouse, Lou Jingou immediately prepared a clipper, stopped by the river and waited for the target to appear, Pleiades Chicken, Fang Ri Rabbit, you two go to the city gate to nest, Fengbo Pavilion here will give me and Kang Jinlong, remember, the prey will release unicorn smoke when it appears, don't be impulsive, listen to my orders, take advantage of the chaos of the crowd, solve the target in an instant, I don't think I need to teach you these anymore" Winged Fire Snake said.

"Yes," several people replied at the same time.

They are all well-trained hunters, they have cooperated for many years, even a look, can know each other's minds, the moment the crowd is chaotic, the moment the prey escapes, is the moment when the hunt begins.

That's right, now, all they can do is wait, there are only six of them, all the deployment is redundant, and the best moment to do it is the moment when the prey relaxes, so for killers of their profession, there is no need to deploy at all.

Tan Lang knows these very well, but in his heart, there is a bigger mystery that has not been solved.

So, in this way, only Tan Lang and Winged Fire Snake were left in the Storm Pavilion.

"Winged Fire Snake, is this mission really just to assassinate the "ferryman"?" Suddenly, Tan Lang said.

After Tan Lang asked, the Winged Fire Snake was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "Isn't it?"

"Hehe! maybe, it's hard to say" Tan Lang laughed, obviously, he found something.

The winged fire snake didn't speak, its expression was weird, and it seemed that it couldn't see through Tan Lang.

Then, Tan Lang pointed to the river and said: "There are so many ferries here, the "ferryman" will not know which ferry port he will go ashore at all."

"What do you mean?" said the Winged Fire Serpent.

"I mean, maybe you've been deceived," Tan Lang said, looking at the river, very calm.

"Am I deceived?" didn't Xiaotian say that the Storm Pavilion is the only way for the ferryman?"

"Fengbo Pavilion is located on the official road to Taicang County, and it is true that it is the only way to go, but if you think about it carefully, will such an important person take the official road? As for the trail, I don't know how many there are," Tan Lang said.

The Winged Fire Serpent was silent, still not speaking.

"Actually, you know very well, otherwise you wouldn't have sent Pleiades Chicken and Fang Ritu to the city gate," Tan Lang said.

"Hmph, what the hell are you trying to say?" roared the Winged Fire Serpent, and indeed, he knew it well.

"After I leave, I'm afraid that the zodiac has been pressed under the feet of the sky net!" Tan Lang sighed.

"Kang Jinlong, you are the most unqualified person to say this," the Winged Fire Snake pointed at Tan Lang and roared.

"Hehe, the lord will not reuse the zodiac anymore, the real purpose of this assassination is probably only known to Skynet, and our zodiac is just a bait, a bait used to contain the main force" Tan Lang said with a smile.

Hearing this, the Winged Fire Snake was shocked and stunned for a long time, this is what he is most worried about, yes, what Tan Lang said is right, this is the last thing he wants to see.

"Hehe, tell you, I can boldly guess that this time the prey will not go ashore from the Yangtze River ferry, even if it is, it will not pass through the Fengbo Pavilion, but take a detour directly to Taicang County, Taicang County Gate is the only way to go, we had better go there and wait, otherwise the target will enter the city, it will be difficult to catch" Tan Lang smiled.

The Winged Fire Snake seemed to be angry, and even pulled out its matching sword, pointed at Tan Lang and roared: "You want to deceive me, so that you can save Leng Yunxi?"

"Hehe, ten steps and one person are merciless, and the end of the cape is up to me. A bloody debt and a crime, it's ridiculous that he is not famous" Tan Lang sighed, sat down as he spoke, looked at the river and never spoke again.

The Winged Fire Serpent also sat silently, and the two of them waited silently, neither of them saying a word.

The sky is already bright, the river wind is still blowing, but the rain seems to be much heavier, the rain drips into the river, splashing a little ripples, circle by circle, scattered on the water surface, until it is gone, soon, the river is lively, the merchants and fishermen who come and go gradually increase, and there are many more boats, perhaps because of the reason that there are more boats, Mo Xiaotian's leaf boat has long disappeared on the river.

The winged fire snake looked at Tan Lang, and Tan Lang looked at the riverside.

Suddenly, Tan Lang stood up and seemed to have discovered something.

The winged fire snake looked at it, and immediately smiled and said, "You still have the heart to watch the excitement"

I saw an old woman falling to the ground, her burden scattered on the ground, her clothes fell to the ground, a big man holding a purple and black robe pointed at the old woman and shouted, a big man pulled the old woman and wanted to beat the old woman, the old woman did not obey, she did not leave, and her expression was very funny.

Tan Lang ignored him, walked towards the old woman and shouted, "Stop"

It turned out that the old woman crossed the river by boat, but the two of them sat on the ground and raised the price, and the old woman refused to pay, so they quarreled.

So, Tan Lang gave her money, and the two men left with a shout.

The old woman thanked her again and again, and walked away with her burden and robe.

Looking at the distant back of the old woman, Tan Lang smiled slightly.

"You're idle!" laughed the Winged Fire Serpent.

"She's being bullied, it's pitiful, isn't it?" Tan Lang said.

"Isn't it pitiful if you're not bullied?" whispered the Winged Fire Serpent.

Tan Lang was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't speak, yes, he was a poor person himself.

However, this is not the fault of people, but the fault of people's hearts, the more peaceful the world, the darker people's hearts, the rich and noble people desperately occupy the rich, the middle-class people desperately strive for wealth, so the poor can only be poorer, you are poor, so you are bullied, throughout the ages, which dynasty, it is not the people who suffer? Everyone seeks wealth, everyone asks for money, but in the end we often forget the original oath when we founded the country.
