Chapter 9: Infiltration

With the still arduous cultivation, half a month has passed unconsciously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At the bottom of the waterfall in the back mountain, three teenagers stood on the almost smooth rock, letting the endless stream of water crash on them, but their bodies did not move. "Whoop......" Xing Yu clenched a wooden sword with both hands, and kept slashing forward, and the sword body drove the cool water to ripple layer by layer. In the past half a month, he has gradually adapted to this kind of hard training, although he will still be tired and almost collapse every day, but at least he will not almost die like at the beginning. The prohibition that Master had imposed on him gradually became accustomed to it, and the discomfort he felt at the beginning was much lighter. Xing Yu could clearly feel that although he still hadn't absorbed the aura for cultivation, he was now more than a little stronger than before he came here! At least, if he was asked to face off against Liu Feng, who had defeated him at the beginning of the martial arts selection, he would be sure to defeat him easily!

"If only I had this strength at the beginning, my sister wouldn't have ......" The strength of holding the hilt of the sword couldn't help but increase a few points, and he shook his head, and Xingyu continued to slash forward. Hey, Xiao Yu. Li Feixuan on the side turned his head and shouted at Xing Yu. What's wrong, Phineas? Xing Yu stopped his movements and asked, the three of them have become familiar with each other a lot after this period of common cultivation, and even the title is not as unfamiliar as the 'senior brother and junior brother' at the beginning.

"Why have you been slashing here in one position for half a month, is it because you are studying swordsmanship?" Li Feixuan asked.

"Oh, yes, I haven't been able to formally learn the first pose yet, so I'll imitate the pose myself." Xing Yu smiled, "I feel a little bit now, but it's still far away, and I don't know when I will be able to officially practice." "Hmm." Li Feixuan nodded, looked at Xing Yu's much stronger body and said, "There is one more thing, Master has received another commission, we need to all go out tonight for three days." I'll talk about that later. ”

"Is it another full trip, or is it three days?" Xing Yu's face was full of surprise, "I've never seen a three-day mission in one dispatch, it seems that this time the target is tricky, right?" "Well, it's the first time I've seen this happen, too." Li Feixuan said, his face was also a little solemn.

"Brother Fei, don't you feel that we have been on missions a bit frequently these days?" Xing Yu asked, "And I always feel that the difficulty is obviously a bit high, and there have been several times when everyone almost lost their lives there. Of course, this may just be my delusion, after all, I haven't been here for long. ”

"Actually, you're right." Li Feixuan sighed, "Before, most of them were just simple cultivation, just three days to carry out a task, and the target was relatively easy to deal with. During this period of time, our actions are really frequent, and I don't know the specific reason, maybe only Master knows everything. After that, Li Feixuan looked at Xing Yu, "I have a vague bad premonition, this mission may be the most difficult in many years, and many partners may die, so you must be careful." "Well, so are you, Brother Fei." Xing Yu frowned, even the usually calm second senior brother behaved like this, it seems that the danger of this mission is not trivial. "By the way, what's the mission's goal?" Xing Yu suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked.

"I don't know." Li Feixuan shook his head, "Master didn't tell me, maybe he will explain it to everyone in detail today." ”

"That's it......" Xing Yu scratched his scalp that was wet with water, what did the master want to do? In Xing Yu's heart, Master has always been a mysterious existence, although he has heard Master say that his goal is to find a successor, but Xing Yu naturally does not simply think that it is just like this. Master's unfathomable strength and unknown background, coupled with the large-scale cultivation places on Tianliang Mountain here and the frequent missions in recent days, Xing Yu always felt that there was a slight connection between them, and he was like a chess piece in a game of chess, silently being manipulated to move forward.

After calming down his heart, Xing Yu didn't think much about it anymore, he was powerless to care about other things now, and the most important thing was to enhance his strength. This is presumably the same for everyone else. Thinking of this, Xing Yu looked ahead and continued to swing the sword in his hand.

……

At night, the group swept down the mountain like ghosts in the dark night. On the way, Xing Yu looked at his companions around him, and he was also a little nervous in his heart.

When they learned that the target of this mission was actually a cultivator whose spiritual strength had reached the "Tiger", everyone's faces were filled with surprise, and when Xing Yu looked at his companions before setting off, he found that many people had a trace of fear in their eyes, feeling like children seeing a tiger. Xing Yu didn't know how strong the cultivators of the "Tiger" class were, and their strength must be above those who absorbed true qi. After all, it needs to go through the absorption of True Qi from the first to the ninth order before it can be transformed into spiritual energy, and then step into the level of "Tiger". You must know that even Liu Feng, who was called a genius boy in Meteor Town, was only a fifth-order.

Everyone was divided into eight groups, each group of four people, within three days, they needed to find out the news about the Zhang family's forces in Guanghua City, which was forty or fifty miles away from the Tianliang Mountain Range, and then they needed to blend in with the various forces in the city. According to the master, there was a lot of chaos in Guanghua City during this time, and the most powerful of them was the Zhang family and the Liu family, who would fight three days later, and at that time, the thirty-two of them needed to assassinate the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Quansheng! This mission must be successful, otherwise it is likely that their information will be leaked, thus posing a threat to their hidden residence on Tianliang Mountain. As for the master, after explaining this, he left in a hurry, and he didn't know what to do.

"From tomorrow, the groups will disperse, and our task is to break into the Zhang family as soon as possible." Cang Han on the side said to the three of Xingyu, he was responsible for leading this group member into Zhang's house, so that he could cooperate with the other team during the mission. Speaking of which, their mission can be regarded as the most dangerous. In addition to Cang Han and Xing Yu, the other two have also been honed, and their strength cannot be underestimated. As for the others, the fat man and Qing Rong, who were more familiar with Xing Yu, were in a group with the other two people. Of course, the fat man is obviously still angry about the fight with Xing Yu half a month ago, and he hasn't said a word to Xing Yu since then, and Xing Yu hasn't paid too much attention to it. "However, I did go a little too far because I was angry." Thinking of this, Xing Yu scratched his head, and when this mission is over, he really apologized to the fat man.

Early in the morning, Guanghua City.

It is still the same place as before, when the sun rises, shops are also open to welcome customers, and the city has become lively again, and it seems that people do not smell the smell of gunpowder between the Zhang family and the Liu family.

"The streets here are significantly wider than in Meteor Town, and the buildings are more atmospheric." Walking on the crowded but uncongested streets, Xingyu looked around and thought. "The Zhang family is in front." Cang Han said. Xingyu and the others looked forward, and at a fork in the road not far away, the obviously magnificent vermilion lacquer gate and eaves were facing this street, showing people the heritage of the Zhang family.

The gate was closed, and two guards stood beside it with spears in hand, giving it an air of solemnity. The four of Xingyu did not hesitate and walked straight forward.

"Stop, what are you guys doing!" Seeing the four people walking in front of him, the doorman raised his gun and shouted.

"We're from out of town, and we want to come here to do chores to make ends meet." Cang Han said lightly. "Huh?" The two guards raised their eyebrows and looked at Xing Yu and the others, their still immature faces and bodies were obviously children, and with the simple clothes they were wearing, there was nothing suspicious. Anyway, there are a lot of people who come to Zhang's house to eat every day, and they are used to it. "It's not easy to work with us." Retracting the spear, a doorman looked at the four of them with a smug look, and it seemed that helping the Zhang family look at the gate was a very dignified job. "By the way, I seem to have heard from the steward today that there is a shortage of a few horses to feed over there." The other doorman said in a sudden thought. "Huh?" Hearing this, the man looked at the four of them: "Will you feed the horses?" ”

The four of them nodded hurriedly.

"Hmph, if you're lucky, come with me." So the man opened the door and went in. "Xiao Wang, you watch here first, and I'll go and report to Steward Li." "Hmm." The doorman, known as Xiao Wang, answered and continued to guard the gate.

The four of them followed the doorman through the courtyard, the strange flowers and plants in the courtyard decorated this place very elegantly, seeing such a neat and beautiful environment, Xing Yu couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, this Zhang family really has a lot of financial resources. In comparison, the standard of living in Meteor Town is far worse. While watching and walking, before they knew it, several people had come to the door of a house.

"Knock knock." After knocking on the door a few times, the doorman said, "Steward Li, I brought a few people, they said they want to do chores here, do you want to come out and have a look?" "Oh, got it, you go back first." The voice of a slightly lazy middle-aged man came from the room. "Hmm." The doorman answered, and turned to leave.

"Click." Soon, the wooden door opened, and a thin man in his fifties wearing glasses came into Xingyu's eyes, and it was the doorman's mouth, Steward Li. "This dress really matches the position of steward." Xing Yu thought to himself. "Yo, I'm supposed to be a few big men, but it's actually these little hairy children." Steward Li looked at the four of them and suddenly smiled, "I lack a few horse breeders here, horse raising is very hard, can you children do it?" If you really can't do it, go back. ”

"No problem." The girl next to Xing Yu hurriedly said. "Heh, I didn't find a girl." Steward Li stroked the mustache on his chin, "Forget it, you guys will try it at the stable with me first, and if I feel good, you can stay." With that, a few people followed Steward Li to the stable. So, for the next whole morning, the four of them were busy working back and forth under the scorching sun. Although they also felt a little tired, it was nothing compared to their previous practice. Steward Li was also idle, so he fanned the chair on the side while looking at the figures of several people, and sipped a few sips of tea from time to time, looking leisurely.

"Yes, you little babies are quite capable, and the few men who worked here before were not as busy as you." Steward Li's eyes narrowed, "Let's get here first in the morning, you can go over there first to eat and drink some water to rest, and then continue to work in the afternoon." It will be the same in the future. Then he got up and left. Thank you, Steward! Xing Yu hurriedly thanked him, but he admired the acting skills of several of his people in his heart.

"Whew, the first stage is fine, what's next? Big brother? On the side, a boy in the group with Xing Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked. For the next three days, do your best to get useful information from others. Cang Han said, his tone still as flat as usual. His personality is somewhat similar to Li Feixuan, but Li Feixuan usually talks to people from time to time, while he is silent, like a stagnant water, and does not make waves about anything.

No longer staying, several people also felt a little tired, so they walked towards the lobby that Steward Li said. Xing Yu wiped a handful of sweat, to be honest, when he first came here, he had a good impression of the Zhang family, but the task was like this, Xing Yu didn't think much about it, maybe in a few days, the now prosperous place would turn into a ruin.

"We've managed to infiltrate, and it's up to the rest of the partners to make their efforts." Thinking in his heart, Xing Yu came to the lobby and looked at the men drinking with their bare backs, and then blended into it with the other three.
