231 Mastermind

After that night attack, the merchant ushered in two more groups of killers, the second time thirty people, and the third time it had reached fifty people. Fortunately, after Shang Shigong told Qi Feng, Qi Feng quietly moved into the merchant with ten secret guards.

He will do this, firstly, to protect Shang Shigong, after all, Shang Shigong is a person that the emperor is optimistic about and is ready to support. There is a more important reason, which is to take this opportunity to find out the mysterious master lurking behind the business.

Since the last time Anton Hua was assassinated, he had already known about the existence of the mysterious master after asking the specific process from Anton Hua's mouth. At that time, what he instantly thought of was the source of iron ore mentioned by Shang Shigong.

He will not forget that the piece of iron ore that Shang Shigong took out was of unknown origin, and according to Shang Shigong, it was given by a mysterious person.

So, is the mysterious person who took out the iron ore the mysterious master who lurks in the shadows? Qi Feng didn't dare to be sure, but he didn't dare to have the slightest luck. As the emperor's confidant, his mind is naturally much more complex than ordinary people, and he is also very sensitive.

The iron ore in Wutu Mountain is very important, and the other party borrowed the hand of Shang Shigong to tell them, is there any conspiracy?

However, with the soldiers secretly stationed in the village, iron ore mining has begun, and even some of the finished products of very high quality have been refined. For now, there is no problem with this iron mine. So, what exactly is the purpose of the other party? It can't be just a desire to serve the court, right?

Qi Feng has seen the struggle for fame and fortune, and he subconsciously doesn't want to believe this simple purpose. He didn't dare to speculate, and told the emperor the news he knew through a secret message. It is also for this reason that the emperor attaches more importance to the merit of merchants.

After all, there are a lot of students from the civilian background of the Great Xi Dynasty. If Shang Shi Gong did not have enough value, he would not have been able to help Shang Shi Gong when he was attacked. I have long given up the merit of the merchants.

At that time, he made it clear that he would help, firstly, because of the merits of the merchants. The second is to take a fancy to the mysterious master behind Shang Shigong, and the third reason is to take a fancy to Shang Shigong's talent and development potential.

This time, after Qi Feng passed the news of the merchant's assassination to the emperor, the emperor thought the same as Qi Feng, and felt that this was a wonderful opportunity to catch the mysterious master behind the merchant! The emperor really needs manpower to deal with those big families.

It's okay to say that the average master can always be invited to move people's hearts, but those top masters are so angry that they don't give him face at all. As long as these people do not commit adultery. It is impossible for the emperor to send heavy troops to encircle and suppress him, so he can only be so red that his heart hurts.

This time, the mysterious master hidden behind the business, the emperor's plan is to win over at any cost. The emperor even hoped that the other party really had some kind of close relationship with the merchant, so as long as he held the merchant, it was equivalent to getting closer to the other party. When it comes to critical times, there is no need to worry that the other party will not help.

The emperor's abacus crackled, and immediately gave Qi Feng an order to let Qi Feng lead a team of secret guards to live in the business. On the surface, it is to express the emperor's importance to the merchants and protect the merchants. In fact, they were asked to closely monitor the merchants' every move, trying to find clues about the existence of the mysterious master.

Shang Shigong faintly felt that Qi Feng's purpose was not pure, but he couldn't refuse Qi Feng's protection. He naturally knew the existence of that mysterious master, and he also knew that the last night attack did not cause serious consequences because of the loss of the other party

But selfishly. Shang Shigong would rather turn to Qi Feng or the emperor behind Qi Feng than to ask for help from the mysterious master. Since the appearance of the other party, Shang Shigong has always been unable to understand the other party's purpose. What he was most worried about was that the other party took a fancy to Shang Jinxiu. One day, Shang Jinxiu will be taken away.

After all, that mysterious master had always only pitied Shang Jinxiu. The rest of them couldn't even see the shadow at all, so they couldn't think too much about it.

In the next two assassinations, although Qi Feng brought the secret guards to help, the number was too small. The other party's body is very treacherous, and there is an ominous aura all over his body. Ordinary martial artists are not opponents at all, and their individual strength is even higher than that of the dark guard.

Even though Shang Jinxiu had discovered Qi Feng's calculations, he still had to make a move. Fortunately, she can use the power of space to hide herself, otherwise if people find out that she is the mysterious master, the entire business will probably be completely uneasy.

And every time she made a move, the strange and murderous methods shocked Qi Feng and the others, and they all heard that some top masters can kill people invisibly, and even make the world change color when they make a move.

But no one expected that it would be so terrifying! Shang Jinxiu's spatial cracks often cut people into pieces, and this kind of invisible attack is really daunting. What people fear most is not the visible opponent, but the invisible danger.

This is the reason why people are afraid of ghosts. In the eyes of Qi Feng and others, Shang Jinxiu's methods are almost the same as the ghosts who always kill people invisibly in ghost movies.

Qi Feng was shocked and curious, and there was a kind of awe and yearning from the heart. If one day he can have such means, it will be in vain.

Shang Jinxiu doesn't care what Qi Feng and the others think, all she cares about is the safety of her family. When she was killing, she didn't forget to attack the killers' Zhihai with her mental power, and she finally found the information of the mastermind behind the scenes.

These people were all sent by Situ Lanyin, in order to get rid of the merchant and Lan Qi. As for more news, because these people have been banned from the sea of knowledge, as long as the ban is touched, their sea of knowledge will automatically explode.

Except for Situ Lanyin, the instigator of the company, Shang Jinxiu didn't dig up more valuable information at all.

She knows Situ Lanyin's identity, she is Jingtang's wife. Judging from the memories of Cheng Xibo and these killers, Situ Lanyin is obviously a ruthless poisonous woman who will take revenge. She sent people to kill the merchant and Lan Qi, I'm afraid it was either for Cheng Xibo or for Jingtang.

This kind of information makes Shang Jinxiu very worried, Situ Lanyin is obviously a female madman, and the three groups of people she sent out have not returned, Situ Lanyin will definitely not give up. As the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, and if they continue, Shang Jinxiu doesn't dare to guarantee that Situ Lanyin's people won't succeed.

After all, she couldn't be with her family all the time. There is also the Li family, what if Situ Lanyin doesn't succeed in the business, and she turns to the Li family?

Just when Shang Jinxiu was thinking about how to be able to do it once and for all, Situ Lanyin, who was far away in Yunxia Mountain, couldn't sit still. She couldn't have imagined that three groups of people were sent out before and after, a total of a hundred killers, and none of them came back, so the whole army was wiped out so quietly!

Who the hell killed all these people?

Situ Lanyin was scared, these killers were sent by her using her authority, and she originally thought that the first group of twenty people was enough to kill Lan Qi and the merchants, but she didn't know that none of the first group of people came back.

She couldn't help but send a second group of people, but the result was also that there was no return. So for the third time, she directly gritted her teeth and sent fifty people, such a huge number, she didn't believe that the other party could still succeed!

However, when the fifty people were also wiped out this time, Situ Lanyin was completely anxious.

It shouldn't be like this, these killers are all good hands that have been cultivated, and they are also highly poisonous, and the blades they use are also quenched with poison. As long as the poisonous smoke is released, even a master like Jing Tang can only be caught!

Situ Lanyin would never have thought that Shang Jinxiu was a spatial powerhouse, and he just restrained the poisonous smoke of these killers. Even if a killer released poisonous smoke, she used the power of space to wrap it into the spatial crack, making the poisonous smoke completely useless.

Coupled with the help of Lan Qi, Qi Feng and others, Shang Jinxiu insidiously attacked with mental power from time to time, although those mental power attacks were not very strong, but they made people think sluggishly. can be a master, as long as there is a trace of negligence, you can be killed by the other party.

With Shang Jinxiu to help control the field, even if the secret guard led by Qi Feng is slightly weaker, the killers sent by Situ Lanyin have no advantage, and they can only be slaughtered.

Although Situ Lanyin has some status in the organization, she has lost a hundred killers, and even she cannot easily escape punishment.

In a hidden cave in Yunxia Mountain, Situ Lanyin looked at the man who was lazily leaning on the jade couch not far away. The man wore a gold mask with a delicate carving and inlaid with red, green and blue gemstones.

The mask obscured most of the man's face, revealing only the straight bridge of the nose, thin rosy lips, and a beautifully shaped chin. The man's eyes were deep, and strangely, his eyes were faintly green, like a bloodthirsty wolf.

The man looked at Situ Lanyin, the corners of his lips curled slightly in a mocking arc, and said lazily, "Are you guilty?" ”

His voice was low and hoarse, like a lover's whisper, but Situ Lanyin instantly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "My subordinates are guilty, please punish the lord!" ”

The man's gaze gradually turned cold, but his voice was still low and hoarse: "Then tell me, what did you do wrong this time?" ”

Situ Lanyin already wanted to crush Lan Qi's bones and scatter ashes in her heart, she really didn't expect it, but she just killed someone, how could all the people sent out die? Feeling the oncoming oppressive aura, Situ Lanyin buried her head lower, and she said cautiously: "The subordinates were not thoughtful, so that the crow group lost a large number of manpower. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Situ Lanyin noticed a strong force hitting her chest, and she didn't even dare to resist, she was directly knocked out, and her body hit the stalactites hard, and she was seriously injured.

She shrank on the ground, looking at the man's eyes flashing with pleading: "The lord spares his life, and his subordinates know that they are wrong." ”

Then she only felt a flower in front of her, and the man came to her, unceremoniously raised his foot and stepped on her chest, pressing hard, Situ Lanyin felt that he heard the sound of broken ribs. (To be continued......)
