Its origins, the number of personnel, are all a mystery. I only know that in the past hundred years, none of the most cunning and cruel traitors have escaped from its hands. Not a single one. These can lurk for years with just one blow; can secretly take the head of the general in the army; None of the killers who can take anyone's life in the blink of an eye can escape the Nightmare's pursuit. The horror of the Nightmare lies not only in its sharp gaze, but also in its swiftness. There was once a person who galloped around the clock and secretly crossed the Tiantuo Gorge, but he was still killed by the Nightmare on the Shuofang Plain. When the dead traitor fell, his hands covered with blood were still clasped tightly to a roll of brown paper, which was the information he had not been able to pass on. And for the most troublesome situation where there is an internal ghost in an action team, the way to deal with the nightmare has always been very simple and effective - the whole group is wiped out.
The fangs hidden in the darkness rarely miss, and almost every time an army has been wiped out in history, it has been at the hands of their own people, the Nightmare, which is perhaps the greatest irony of all. "Hehe, do you mean that we have to pretend that there is no inner ghost and remain silent?" Riji chuckled lowly, the scimitar flipped around his arm, and his tone was a little harsh, "What a good excuse." "Reiji, watch your tone! Now the person who wants to stir up internal strife the most, I think is the most suspicious! Jing Qili let out a low roar, interrupting Li Er's yin and yang strange words, "I will personally find out the inner ghost who betrayed my brother, and what you have to do is to move on to the next action, and you must not alarm the main hall, let alone let the nightmare doubt us." "Isn't it sending yourself to death by doing it in such a situation? We are killers, not fools. ”
Rida lowered his voice, and the tone that came from deep in his throat was hoarse and jerky, like a cold sword rubbing. "This operation, the instructions I give to everyone will be individual, only I know the whole process of the operation, and you will be full of words. And I, on the other hand, will pick out the nail hidden within us in this operation! Jing Qili roared as if he was promised. As I said, I don't believe in any of you except me, including you. Jiugong took over the conversation, those pale golden eyes made Jing Qili feel a little speechless in his heart, they were the eyes of a lone fox in the dark night, gloomy and bright, "If the inner ghost is you, our end is still death." ”
"Presumptuous, how can you talk to the watchman like this!" Before Jing Qili could answer, Li Da scolded in a low voice, but his flickering expression still betrayed him. This old fox, I think the person who doesn't believe me the most is you. Jing Qili scolded secretly, waved his hand, and showed a faint tiredness on his face, "Jiugong is right, and indeed I am also suspicious." But this is the only way to go, do you choose to trust me, or do you choose to take a gamble and bet that you will survive the Nightmare's hands? There was silence in the room, except for the flickering of the oil lamp, which made several faces in the room indistinct. "So, who are we targeting next?" Zhu Ze was the first to speak. "Tianji Lianzhen, the first guard chief of Qintianjian Tiwei, Fan Mu."
Hearing Jing Qili's answer, Jiugong couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart. On the other hand, looking at the other enlightened people in the room, even Zhu Ze, who was usually the most indifferent, had a slight look of surprise on his face. Fan Mu, before the expansion of Ti Wei, was the Yin Sect Master in the third department of Qin Tianjian. Like those Qin Heavenly Eunuchs who buried their faces under the black shadow of their hoods all day long, few people had seen his true face before he became the commander of the first guard, and it was not until Tang Yu rode on a white horse and carried the black flags of the stars and the moon into Tianyuan that he appeared in front of the world for the first time with their fanatical Great Pope. It was a man who had grown completely old, and his whole being was like a dry plant, withered and lifeless. But many people know that this thin old man's body contains a strength that is not inferior to Gu Lun'ou.
"The old man is really good at picking people this time." Riji smiled, but his voice was not so natural. "Everyone's actions are in these secret notes, so please go to the place of action to familiarize yourself with the environment in the next few days. is still the same sentence, there is no one who can't be killed, even if it is Tang Yu, in our careful net, he can only die. Jing Qili seemed to know everyone's thoughts, and said half encouragingly. He took out a cowhide envelope from his bosom and handed them a folded piece of paper in turn, in which some ink-colored handwriting could be faintly seen. "Then everyone, I hope you can succeed in one blow, and see you then." Jing Qili blew out the oil lamp, and several people disappeared into the darkness in an instant. Nanhuai of Tang Kingdom, the backyard of Baili's house. In that dimly lit hut, the young man in black sat at the head of the desk this time, and several black figures knelt underneath. "Su Yi is dead." Someone whispered from below. "Very well, then her suspicion is ruled out."
The young man spoke in a relaxed tone. "One more thing...... During the preparation of the operation, several of us lost a few times. "Lost?" The young man's voice was raised a few degrees, with a majesty not befitting his age. "They are all the elites of the upper three families, and their subordinates ......" The voice of the lower head trembled a little. Add three more to each person to make sure nothing goes wrong. Next time, you don't have to come back to report it. The young man interrupted the voice below, his face cold. Be. "Who are those lost people?" "Jiugong, Cile, Lida, Lier, Zhu Ze and Jing Qili." "That is to say, except for Su Yi, who is not suspicious, you are all lost?" The young man laughed instead of being angry. "It's ......" "Waste!" The young man slapped the table heavily, and the next few people couldn't help but tremble, "Help me prepare, before the next operation, I will rush to Tianyuan." "It would be a shame if this show ended just after it opened.
The young man got up and left the dark room. Tian Yuan, Su Fu. Sutizi sat in the window, the twilight sun shone obliquely through the window paper, those faint lights could not illuminate the whole room at all, Sutizi's whole face was hidden in the shadows, only the spark on the top of the cigarette stick flickered and flickered. "What are the results of the investigation?" Sutizi exhaled a puff of cigarette, and the smoke covered his face. "Zhu Wu's family has been carefully investigated, and there are indeed no other traces of opposition to the party." Kneeling down was a man in a black robe and black armor, he was wearing black chain mail, and a northern Jin snake tail chrysanthemum was clearly visible on his steel helmet, "But the subordinates have found something interesting." "Say." Sutizi's tone remained unchanged. "Recommend that Zhu Gui's house slave, and under the 'investigation' of his subordinates, he finally said the instructor." The man in black armor grinned, "His name, Su Weichang, will definitely be very happy to hear it." "Who?" Su Tizi put away his pipe, and the long yew wood pipe gently knocked the window edge. "Rain is unmatched."
"You said Yu Wushuang," a faint smile finally climbed to the corners of Su Tizi's pursed mouth, "But that damn Pinglin Gongzi's subordinates, one of the five ministers, Yu Wushuang?" "That's the man." Gu Xiyuan, the son of Pinglin, a wealthy businessman from Wanzhou, is the hereditary Pinglinjun of Pingguo. Pingguo is heavy on business, and there are many noble courtiers who are businessmen, but it is rare to become the head of a family at a young age like Gu Xiyuan. In the fourth year of the Holy King, this noble prince from Wanzhou conquered the entire Tianyuan with seemingly inexhaustible gold and silver treasures, quickly occupied and annexed almost all the commercial shops, and became a pivotal figure in Tianyuan. Carriages carrying boxes of gold baht from the Gu Mansion to the homes of high-ranking officials and important ministers, this generous Pinglin prince successfully gained a firm foothold in the turbulent times of political changes, and leisurely made his business prosperous under the black flags all over the city. However, what is not known is that the Cigna Garden he built is actually secretly recruiting down-and-out nobles and people with lofty ideals from all over the world to enter Tianyuan, and is one of the sources of Tianyuan's thousands of chaos. Su Tizi has been paying attention to this Ping Linjun for a long time, but he can't act rashly because of the deep roots of the Gu family, so he naturally won't let go of such a good opportunity this time. "Very good," Su Tizi nodded with satisfaction, stood up, and the black big sword brought a gust of wind, "Keep that house slave's tongue, take him, and we'll go to the Gu Mansion." ”
"Whoa." The man in black armor clenched his fists and quickly retreated. Half a pair of times, Ciyi Fang, Gu Xiyuan Mansion. "Childe, the people of the Seven Guards are here." A burly middle-aged man whispered. "I know, Wushuang, you can go out with me." The person who spoke was not very old, had no hair tied up, and was wearing a wide blue brocade robe. His voice was warm, but his face with soft lines did not have any expression, as if he was forever icy with a dignified face that did not fit his age, it was Gu Xiyuan, the son of Pinglin.
"The little one understands." The man known as Musou was in a sleek figure with a fearless smile on his mustachioed face. Everyone hugged Gu Xiyuan and walked out of the gate of the mansion, and saw Su Tizi standing in Menli, with a black coat draped over his body. "I haven't seen you for a long time, so I took the liberty to disturb it." Sutizi clenched her fists. "Where, Lord Su is polite," Gu Xiyuan had a signature smile on his face, "I don't know why Lord Su is making such a big fanfare?" "Su Tizi's black-robed and black-armored seven guards have surrounded the entire Gu Mansion, and the cold spears are lined up, and the originally magnificent mansion seems to have turned into a battlefield in an instant. Su Tizi smiled, waved his hand, and brought up a middle-aged man with an adjutant in black armor, his whole person was in rags, his face was bruised, blood and dirt were mixed together, and he could hardly see what he was. "Tell me about the peace of mind, who instigated the rebel party who assassinated me?" Sutizi tapped the man's face with the scabbard, and the latter whimpered in pain. "Speak quickly!" The adjutant had an afterburner in his hand, and the prisoner finally couldn't bear it anymore, almost screaming with a crying voice.
"Lord Yu, Lord Yu of the Gu Mansion......" Su Tizi clapped his hands with satisfaction, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes when he looked at the usually calm person opposite, "Ping Linjun, you also heard it, Mr. Yu of your mansion, we want to invite him to sit in Qiwei and assist in the investigation." A few of the guards around him stepped up, reaching out to catch Yu Wushuang. A hand blocked the guard. These fanatics kill without blinking, but they retreat in front of this hand. Gu Xiyuan stretched out a hand lightly, and the smile on his face faded, "Lord Su casually listened to the slander of a villain who came from nowhere, and came to my house to make trouble and arrest people with great fanfare, isn't it too funny?" ”
"This isn't some random villain." Su Tizi tightened his head, "Zhu Wu, who was raided by us a few days ago, do you know it?" "Zhu Gongzi is a good customer, I have heard a little about him, it is really unfortunate." Gu Xiyuan said lightly. "That's his own fault, harboring the anti-party." Su Tizi glanced at Gu Xiyuan meaningfully, "That's really a capital crime that no one can save." "This is also understandable, these damn rebels mess with my big Zhou, and naturally they should be cut by a thousand cuts." Gu Xiyuan smiled, and there was something in his words. "In the assassination three days ago, the assassin who slipped through the net was recommended by Mr. Yu from your mansion, and the evidence is conclusive." Su Tizi pretended not to understand, and said to herself, "So it's reasonable, Pinglinjun, please don't embarrass me." Gu Xiyuan showed surprise at this time, turned his head and asked Yu Wushuang: "Wushuang, is there really such a thing?" Yu Wushuang lowered his head and didn't speak, and suddenly pulled out his saber and put it on Gu Xiyuan's neck. This sudden change came suddenly, and even Su Tizi didn't react.
"Master Su is right, the villain was originally the general of the Yu Guo Xiao Cavalry Guard, whose real name is Yu Zifeng. In the fourth year of the Holy King, Qin Tianjian instigated the Bai family of Chu Weiguo to send troops to the rain country, and the main city of the old country was broken and died, and our clan was almost slaughtered. I made an oath in front of the tombstones that covered the mountains and fields, and I would condemn the cult and traitors. Later, he finally entered the Gu family incognito, just to better use Gu Gongzi to get close to the core of Qin Tianjian in this chaotic Tianyuan. Although I can't help it, I still ask Gu Gongzi to block a few knives for the small one. "The guards of the Gu Mansion all drew their knives at this time and stood with the guards, but neither side dared to act rashly, Yu Wushuang's knife was narrow and sharp, and Gu Xiyuan's neck was already oozing red blood." What to do? The black-armored lieutenant looked back and asked, he didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. What's so difficult to do," Su Tizi shrugged disapprehantly, "Go up and catch the rebels, don't let Ping Linjun's martyrdom be in vain." ”
"Up!" The adjutant drew his sword willingly, and easily led the guards to disperse the Gu Mansion guards who saw that something was wrong, and rushed to Yu Wushuang in the blink of an eye. Yu Wushuang looked at the blade that was getting closer and closer, gritted his teeth, and pulled Gu Xiyuan behind him, and the whole person shouted and threw himself into the crowd. The few guards in front easily avoided Yu Wushuang's slash, and then the four knives slashed at Yu Wushuang's legs very tacitly, Yu Wushuang screamed miserably, and the whole person fell to his knees.
