Chapter 37: Extraordinary Confusion
November 15, this hazy weather, there is no light in the dark sky, the cold wind in the air with a slight rain, this kind of cold weather is not suitable for worshipping the sky to pray for blessings, but on this day the south of Bianliang City is still praying for blessings, this is the time set by the old gods three months ago, it is said that this day will be the gods of heaven, how can the time be changed in this case?
At this time, the worship of Taoism by the people of the Great Song Dynasty has reached the point of fanaticism, which is directly related to the official belief in Taoism and the birth of the old immortals.
The commander made Pan Yue start to work on the third watch, and he knew that this time the responsibility was heavy, and there must not be the slightest deviation. Almost every place where it was possible to hide an assassin had been personally inspected by Pan Yue, and such a thing had never happened before.
In order to avoid the occurrence of assassination, the southern city wall of the city has long been under martial law, but for such a major blessing activity, there are still more than 100,000 onlookers inside and outside the city wall. The forbidden army could not drive the onlookers away, but could only drive them to a relatively safe area, which was the characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty, and watching the excitement was a part of the people's lives.
Although Pan Feng had already told Pan Yue that in this assassination, the forbidden army was just for show, and it was the Imperial City Division that was really responsible for the defense, supporting the Japanese forbidden army, and the families of the four major families had long been mixed with the onlookers. Pan Yue is still waiting, he firmly believes that this is his duty, and there must be no mistakes.
Pan Yue's nervousness is just to eliminate hidden dangers and let the soldiers do a good job of guarding step by step, but Liang Fang is different, he is shouldering the most important task this time, this assassination case, once there is a stir, then the entire Imperial City Division will be pushed to the forefront.
Liu Zhenglong seemed very relaxed, although this kind of relaxation was only pretended, but he still looked extremely confident, which made Liang Fang envious, feeling as if this kid had put all the pressure on his head, so he said dissatisfiedly: "These days, I am busy like a grandson, you spend all day drinking, nothing to do, today is the most critical moment, why are you still so relaxed?" ”
Liu Zhenglong pointed to the altar and said: "No matter what the situation of the assassin is, he can't avoid the fact that since the old immortal left Jiuyang Palace, there have been heavy soldiers to protect him all the way, and it is even more difficult to succeed than to ascend to the sky. Even if Tong Yansi's assassination is a small trick, it must be carried out here, otherwise how can he blame the Pan family, and how can he negotiate terms with the Pan family. You just need to do a good job of guarding here, why be so nervous. ”
can say beautiful words, but Liang Fang can't be relaxed, he and Liu Zhenglong have the same idea, that is, Tong Yansi's assassination is just an appetizer, and the real killing move is still to come, in this case, how can he not be nervous.
Liang Shicheng gave Liang Fang a special instruction, no matter what the assassination case is, this time the case of Tong Yanhe's plan to be tested must be made into an iron case, this Tong Guan's righteous son is in prison, as for whether the old immortal will be assassinated in the end, it doesn't matter what the final result is.
Zhengyang Gate under the south city wall of Bianliang City is a Zhengyang restaurant, this restaurant is three stories high, and the third floor has long been contracted by Tong Yansi and Gao Yanei, the two of them waited on the teahouse early, and wanted to see this good show they had carefully planned, but the mood of the two people was completely different.
Gao Yanei, this guy was drinking, while looking at the people under the city wall, he knew that this assassination was very simple, only a dozen soldiers who did not want to die participated, and it would soon be suppressed, so the whole thing involved the defense command of the city wall, so that Pan Yue could not be washed even if he fell into the Yellow River.
At this time, Gao Yanei seemed to have seen that the Pan family was begging for himself, and took the initiative to send Yun Feixue to his house, and this guy began to think about how to play with it to be enjoyable and exciting.
Compared with the ease of Gao Yanei, Tong Yansi's pressure is much greater, for him, this assassination is twofold, if it is successful, then the things behind it will be much simpler, not only can he take the Falling Moon Tower, then even Que Yunlou will belong to him. Thinking of this, Tong Yansi can be said to be nervous and excited.
There were more than a dozen people in the room on the west side of the third floor of Zhengyang Restaurant, and the leader was a middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eighteen, who didn't seem to care about anything outside, just drinking silently.
At this time, the door of the box opened, and a young man of twenty-four or five-year-old walked in, he sat down with a big grin and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Wang to enter Beijing, why don't you greet the little brother and brother in advance, so that I can arrange someone to pick you up." ”
Wang Yin originally wanted to keep a low profile, but how could a big man like him keep a low profile? The guy looked at the young man and said, "I don't know what the Netherworld means, do you want a piece of the pie?" ”
"This is not a good thing, how to divide the soup, don't talk so much nonsense, you are really as simple as assassinating the old immortals." It was the ghost hand of the Netherworld Society who spoke, Lao Qi, this guy came on behalf of the Netherworld, and he didn't think it would have any effect at all, just to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger and get something that belonged to the Netherworld, as for whether the old gods would be assassinated or not, it had nothing to do with them.
Facing the ghost hand Lao Qi, at this time, Wang Yin felt that he thought about the capital too simply, this operation was indeed a bit risky, but the arrow had to be sent, it was impossible to withdraw at this time, and this event had been carefully planned for more than a year, how could he give up easily?
"It doesn't matter if it's right or not, with the strength of your ghost hand Lao Qi, can you stop me Wang Yin from making a move?"
Wang Yin has always been very confident in his own strength, although he may not be able to beat Lin Lingsu, but in the face of the ghost hand Lao Qi, he can be said to have the confidence to hit the blow, at this time he just doesn't want to cause trouble, otherwise where will the ghost hand Lao Qi be presumptuous.
"I can't stop you, but that doesn't mean the Netherworld can't stop this action." At this time, the Ghost Hand Old Seven was not nervous at all, he pointed to the people under the city wall and said, "There are your masters here, and there are also brothers of our Netherworld. If I want to fight you, except for our boss, no one has this ability. But it should not be difficult to block and strangle your men, don't think that I don't know what your real purpose is, once this matter spreads, no matter how many people you come this time, you don't want to escape from the capital. ”
"The real purpose, then what do you say is our real purpose?"
"The assassination of the official family created chaos, Fang La started an incident in the south of the Yangtze River and attacked Hangzhou, the Liao people attacked from Hebei, and the Xixia people sent troops to the northwest, I don't know if what I said is accurate?" Seeing Wang Yin's eyes revealing murderous intent, he hurriedly said: "You'd better not attack me, as long as I can't leave before Lin Lingsu appears, then the so-called assassination will become a massacre, and all your men will be killed in the capital, and Zhu Mian in Hangzhou will also receive the secret order to exterminate Fang La, I don't know if you can bear this consequence." ”
"You're threatening me?" Wang Yin is already mentally prepared to hunt the ghost hand Lao Qi, and this time he brought top masters, and I believe that the Netherworld Society has no ability to stop it. He made a gesture with his left hand to wipe his neck and said coldly: "Netherworld, you don't have the strength to fight against the Holy Father, if you weren't deeply rooted in the capital and operated for many years, you wouldn't have had a chance to exist in front of me at all." ”
Suddenly, Wang Yin found out that he had been fooled, this ghost hand Lao Qi came here, not to negotiate, but to delay time. But at this time, it can't be changed, and there has been a commotion under the city wall, and it seems that the old immortal Lin Lingsu has appeared, which means that the assassination operation should start soon.
The old immortals practiced at the altar in the south of the city, and the officials would also come, but the officials would not climb on the city wall, but only watch from the Lingyue Pavilion, which was probably the best opportunity to assassinate the officials.
Wang Yin's face sank, and he said coldly: "Say, what are your conditions, if you can talk about it, you can talk about it, if you can't talk about it, you don't have to look at the sun tomorrow." ”
At this time, the ghost hand old seven knew that Wang Yin was angry, and his mission was almost over, so there was no need to go around in circles, he said with a smile: "The condition is very simple, no matter what the result of your final assassination is, within your sphere of influence, our Netherworld Society will pass unimpeded, if the court investigates it, it will be okay to push this matter to Zhu Mian and Tong Guan Lao Thief." In addition, your forces are withdrawn from the capital, and you should never enter the capital again, it's as simple as that. ”
"You're not afraid of death?" Wang Yin may make a move at any time, and as long as he makes a move, the ghost hand Lao Qi will have absolutely no chance of survival.
"I'm afraid to die, I'm afraid to die, but you won't fail to make a move, because if I can't get out of this room, then your event will be a sign of failure."
The ghost hand Lao Qi walked out generously, when this guy went downstairs, his legs were weak and he almost fell, and his whole body was soaked, which showed how much pressure Wang Yin brought him.
"It's so hanging, I finally picked up a little life, this damn Wang Yin is so powerful, I really don't know if the ghost boss can beat him." The old seven heads of the ghost hand didn't go back and walked out, he knew that the entire battlefield was in the Lingyue Pavilion, and he rushed over before the assassination began.
On the way to Lingyue Pavilion, the ghost hand Lao Qi found an unexplained thing, since the purpose of Wang Yin and the others was to assassinate the official family, why did Wang Yin appear in Zhengyang Restaurant, is there anything wrong with this, but the matter has come to this point, and it can only be wrong.
