Preface: Every year, the Qing Empire held a martial arts tournament. Although, nominally, this competition is a competition between each other, but secretly it is a contest between two hostile forces in the imperial court. Therefore, before the conference began, the secret contest between the two sides had already begun······

Body:

(Zhang'an Mansion)

"My lord, I called the villain here today, I don't know what the matter is?"

"Zhao Fu, come, take a look. Zhang An handed over a letter.

Zhao Fu took it and hurriedly skimmed through the contents of the letter.

"It turns out that the martial arts competition of the imperial court will be held in three days. My lord, we have a peerless killer group like the Phantom Assassins, so why can't we succeed in one fell swoop. ”

"Hahaha, Zhao Fu, you are right, but do you know that there is an invisible spider web in the court, which has its own interests, so we still have to lose if we deserve to lose. If you shouldn't lose, you must not lose. ”

"Please tell me more carefully. ”

"Zhao Fu, in the capital, we support Lord Gebuhaha's queue, but in the imperial court competitions in recent years, it is not Lord Gebuhahao who we support, but Li Qingxian, who is fighting against him. This person is Han Chinese, but he is highly regarded by His Majesty the Emperor. He's a big adversary and a stumbling block for us. ”

"The annual martial arts competition seems to be a martial arts competition on the surface, but it is actually a secret showdown of the comprehensive strength of the two camps. Whoever wins, it means that their own personnel deployment and military strength are stronger than the other side. ”

"My lord, I understand what you mean, you are asking your subordinates, no matter what means, to secretly help Lord Gebuhayu win the championship of this year's martial arts competition. ”

"Zhao Fu, do you know why I, Zhang An, like you so much? ”

"Your Excellency means that I will defeat all of Li Qingxian's martial arts contestants, and then I will deliberately lose to Lord Gebuha's opponents, so that our supreme leader will also be victorious, and it also represents the victory of our camp. ”

"Yes, Zhao Fu, that's what I meant. Although the reason is very clear, the other party sends a very strong group of opponents every year, in other words, they also recruit prodigal killers like us and buy them. ”

Zhao Fu said with a smile:

"My lord, please rest assured, our camp has won this year's imperial court competition. Thank you for the good news. ”

"Well, with your words, I can rest easy. ”

"The subordinates retired. ”

At the moment of coming out, Zhao Fu thought to himself: "It seems that if I want to control the entire court, I first have to help Zhang An's camp occupy absolute real power in the court, and after this step, I will make further plans." ”

(Zhao Fu Zhaidi)

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Zhao Fu, have summoned you to discuss the matter of this year's martial arts conference with you. ”

"The affairs of you court people, we Phantom Organization can't control and don't want to care, we are only responsible for assassination and the acquisition of spirit wine. ”

"I have summoned you here today for the assassination mission. ”

"What are you talking about? Is there another assassination attempt?" said the demon.

"Yes, I want everyone to act today and kill one person within three days. However, this assassination mission was not aimed at the people of the Spirit Master Sect, and the target of the killing was another killer leader in the capital. ”

"Hey, this is cannibalism, I've heard for a long time that the inside of this court is a trip to troubled waters, everyone looks polite in the clear, but in fact, everyone has ghosts, intrigue, and bad intentions. Xiao said impatiently with a thin sharp voice.

"If your assassination is successful, I will report it to your lord and give you enough spirit wine. ”

"To put it bluntly, how much spirit wine do you give?" said as he looked at Zhao Fu.

"That is, if you give less, we don't want to do it. Xiao Yinghe said.

"One gourd spirit wine per person. Zhao Fu pointed at everyone and said.

"Is this true?" asked Zhao Fu with a deep look in his eyes.

Zhao Fu said: "Of course. However, if your assassination fails, I will not give you a drop. ”

"I'm afraid there is no one in this world who our Phantom Assassin Regiment can't kill through joint operations. No matter how strong the opponent is. ”

The owl walked to Zhao Fu's side charmingly, and said in his ear: "Are you not at ease with us like this? Have you forgotten how people played with you in the first place?"

Zhao Fu's expression changed instantly, and his heart was full of anger, but in the current situation, he could only endure her mockery, because for him, the Phantom Assassin Regiment he relied on very much, and if he lost such an assassination opportunity because of a momentary impulse, it would be more than worth the loss.

So Zhao Fu just said: "It's not that I don't believe in your strength, but I want to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the opponent is indeed very strong, we need to be careful." ”

The Earth Demon opened his mouth and asked, "Who is the killer you are talking about?"

Zhao Fu said: "This person is the Night Qilin. ”

Mei said: "Night Kirin. Isn't he already dead? ”

"Zhao Fu has just gotten the information, and this person is in Li Qingxian's mansion. ”

"I don't think you will forget his title, he is the one who is called the 'Grim Reaper'. From the time he became famous to the present, countless people have been killed. His famous battle was to kill a thousand rebel horses in one night. Hence the title of 'Grim Reaper'. ”

"If that's the guy, we're looking forward to meeting him for a while. Tiansha waved the thunder rod gun, looking eager to try.

"Watch us take his head. The ghost said in unison.

"Okay, I, Zhao, wish you all victory. ”

"There are still three days before the time of the conference, but we only have one chance to start, that is, the Dark Night Qilin will lead a hundred iron horsemen to the provinces to gather Li Qingxian's experts on a recent day, and come to the capital to gather. ”

"Also, you should be clear that today's operation is an assassination, not an open killing, so the assassination operation should be carried out at night. ”

"Boy, you don't need to remind us. "The demon fell, and the eight killers of the Phantom Assassin were gone.

"It's really impatient. Zhao Fu looked at the empty corner in front of him and muttered to himself.

(Outside the Capital Gate)

Demons and owls, as a team, are waiting at the east gate.

The heavenly and earthly evils waited at the west gate as a team.

The charm and charm are waiting at the south gate for a team.

魍、魉,For a team to wait at the north gate。

(East Gate)

"The Night Kirin is powerful, how come I've never heard of it?" asked the demon in a corner sheltered by the woods.

"You joined the organization at a relatively short age, and before you joined, the news that the Night Qilin had died had already spread in the capital, so the legend about him was also covered up because of his death. However, I was surprised that he was still alive today, and that he was still alive in Kyoto. ”

"He's the god of death who killed a thousand rebels overnight. If you were you, could you kill a thousand people in one night?"

"If my spiritual power is enough, yes. The owl replied.

"That's the crux of the matter, the Dark Night Qilin's spiritual power is endless. ”

"Endless?" the owl replied in surprise.

He seemed to have a means to make the spiritual power in his body use in an infinite loop, as if there was a source of spiritual power that was automatically generated. ”

"He... There is such an ability. ”

"This is just one of the terrible things about him, he has many more abilities, and he is also a killer, and countless people have died at his hands. ”

"Do you know the Sixteen Paths?"

"I've heard that they have been on assassination missions in the South, and many have died by their swords. ”

"Everyone in the Sixteen Paths knows a kind of spiritual magic, some can paralyze the opponent with poison, some can use their bodies to resist the attack coming from the front, and some can use magic to control the opponent. But have you heard from them all these years?"

"Have they already been killed?" asked the owl rhetorically.

"Yes, all sixteen of them were killed, and the one who killed them was the Night Kirin. ”

"Sixteen people were killed by him, how is this ~ possible?"

"Many things in this world are impossible, but for the Night Kirin, nothing is impossible. ”

"Then the two of us are no match for him. ”

Not only was he not an opponent, but even the hundred iron horsemen he had with him might not be an opponent. The demon added.

"Why?"

"The Night Qilin is not a stupid person, he will leave a way back every time he acts, and these hundred people are probably also his carefully selected guards. ”

"Then why do we still agree to Zhao Fuzhi's invitation?"

"My demon didn't agree, he didn't know the depths of the heavens, the earth and the ghosts, he didn't know the depths, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he came to seek death, I came here out of love, I would never fight him, I would only send a signal to inform them. ”

"They're our companions, so don't you tell them about it? ”

"Owl, you've been a Phantom Assassin for a while, don't you understand? In any killer organization, there are no companions to speak of, only killing, revenge, profit, and enjoying the death of others. ”

"If I don't ask you today, demon, will you also die like you just said? ”

"Xiao, don't say it so ugly, you are looking for your own death. ”

"You~" Xiao was speechless.

They waited for a long time outside the east gate, and finally the next morning, a team of men appeared.

There were about a hundred people, all with spears in their hands, and their faces were covered with iron armor masks, and the leader had a slightly different appearance, his face was painted with lines, black, white and blue, and his true face could no longer be seen because of the dense patterns. Silver armor, silver helmet, silver armor, silver armor, silver armor, silver armor

"Here he comes. The demon said warily.

"He really didn't die. Signal to the others. ”

The owl understood, closed his eyes, and began to transmit information (phantom assassins, spiritual power is connected, their communication can use their thoughts to act on the spirit wine in the body, and transmit information.) ）
