Chapter 43 Iron Blood and Tears, Hero's Tomb (I)
In the Tianluo Hall in Qingyuan Prefecture, Geng Feng also received news from the spies sent out, saying that Yan Protector failed to intercept and killed, and was killed in the woods of a ghost crying grave in front of Long County.
Although Geng Feng was very angry when he first heard it, at his age, he was able to be happy and angry. He just had a gleam in his eyes, and handed the letter to Geng Liqiu.
After reading the letter, Geng Liqiu was secretly frightened. This Yan Protector's martial arts are powerful, only under his grandfather, the strength of the sixth layer of Tianluo Gong was actually killed by a nobody. Could it be that person is a hermit or a descendant of some sect to establish power in Zhangyun Prefecture. It is not impossible to fight now.
He went through all kinds of thoughts in his mind, had a plan in his heart, and understood what his grandfather meant by handing over the letter to him, which was nothing more than wanting to hear his arrangement.
So he bowed down and said: "Grandpa, this Dawnbreaker Army is our underestimation, since there are people who can kill the strength of Yan Protector, then it is useless to send assassins again, the most important thing now is to face tomorrow's big war, and now the night court should be almost prepared over there, the soldiers and horses are all in order, and the most important thing for us is to face this side." ”
"Qiu'er, your mind and scheming are all excellent among your peers, but the overall situation is still not enough. Now the night army is pressing, but we also have a way to deal with it, the two sides of the competition between the forces, no matter which side wins, the next step must be to clear Nanzhao County, and this dawn army, I thought it was the Treading Heaven Alliance deliberately borrowed a knife to kill people, now a temptation, the other party can't see through, then this is not a good sign, we and the night dynasty This war will not end in a while and a half, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer, but we can't let an incomprehensible force secretly grow, do you understand? ”
Geng Feng's eyes flashed with wisdom, he has lived for so many years and knows very well, knowing that the opponent who is shallow is not terrible, what is terrible is the opponent who does not know the situation of the other party at all, and such an opponent is the most difficult to guard against.
He was worried that the Tianluo Hall and the Night Dynasty would fight, and the two tigers would be injured if they competed, so it would not be good if the sandpiper and the clam were competing for the benefit of the fisherman.
Although there are more than 100,000 mercenaries in the Treading Heaven Alliance, in the final analysis, it is still a group of rabble, Quan Xingyang, Gao Yi, and Liu Jin are all wine bags and rice bags, so there is no need to worry, and he has already heard of the black smoke and miasma of Xunzhou under management.
This Dawn Army is different, there are only 20,000 soldiers, but half of Zhangyunzhou is occupied by it, and I also heard that he rectified military discipline and occupied a place that is supported by the people.
Geng Liqiu was still a little puzzled: "So, grandpa, what do you mean?" ”
"You use the secret path to send a message to Xiaoyao Tower, ask them to send a heaven-level assassin over, I heard that the red blood fairy Xiao Liuli and that Jade Drum Rakshasa Valley Jinghong have never missed, so let them assassinate the leader of the Dawnbreaker Army. As for the payment, if they don't ask too much, let them all agree. After saying this, the old man seemed to be a little tired, and waved him to step back.
Geng Liqiu is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is still very smart, he reacted when his grandfather arranged the assassination, thinking in his heart, Jiang is really old and spicy. There was a three-minute silence for this opponent whom he had never met and who might not meet again. Because the Xiaoyao Lou Heaven-level assassin has never missed, once he receives the order, he will not die.
Geng Liqiu went out of the state capital's address, came to an inconspicuous pawn shop on the corner of the street, and had a secret conversation with the boss, after the pawn boss confirmed his identity, he took him through several courtyards and came to a room, this room was heavily guarded, even if he was the young hall master of Tianluo Palace, there was still no way to break in directly.
He handed the pass order from the hall master to the guard, and waited for the guard to get out of the way before he pushed the door in.
The room was an ordinary study with several rows of books. Ignoring anything else, he walked straight to a table with vases on the side of the room, and when he reached out and twisted the vase, the wall behind it rumbled, and then the wall cracked open a door that allowed only one person through, and he entered, and the door closed on its own.
It turns out that this room also has a dark room.
There is a huge night pearl in the dark room, which makes the room as bright as day. The ventilation is also very good, and you can't feel stuffy when you go inside.
There is a large bronze mirror in the darkroom, and it is impossible to see what is inside.
The pawnshop boss standing beside him first bowed and said goodbye, and then said, "Venerable Envoy, the young hall master of Tianluo Hall needs to ask the master to send a first-level assassin to carry out the mission. ”
"Young Master of Tianluo Palace?" A low, indifferent voice sounded from behind the bronze mirror.
Geng Liqiu heard someone's voice coming out, and he was secretly happy in his heart: "Geng Liqiu, the young hall master of the Lower Heaven Luo Palace, was ordered by the hall master to apply for your faction to send a heaven-level assassin to kill a person. ”
"Name, address, power." The voice over there sounded mechanically.
Geng Liqiu hurriedly told him the details of Zhang Poxiao.
"This deal is accepted by Xiaoyao Lou, and you need to pay one thousand taels of gold and five thousand-year-old elixirs." Quotations are sent out on the opposite side.
Hearing this price, Geng Liqiu's heart hurt to death, but if his grandfather's request was not excessive, he must agree. In general, this offer is still acceptable, so he returned: "This price Tianluo Hall agrees to pay." ”
The words without the slightest emotion continued to come out: "Please prepare the reward within half a month, someone will come to collect it, and the heaven-level assassin will be sent today." After saying these few words, there was no reaction over there.
Geng Liqiu shook his head a little helplessly, followed the boss and hurriedly left the room and went to the barracks to arrange tomorrow's battle plan.
In the early hours of the second day, the sky was cloudy and gloomy, without a glimmer of sunshine. The whole camp had its own murderous aura, and there was a faint earthy smell in the air.
Shutu walked out of the barracks, wearing battle armor and fighting spirit.
He walked a few steps to the taming shed next to the camp, where he found his beloved mount, it was a white tiger with hanging eyes, the white smooth fur was as shiny as if it had been washed by water, and the inky black pattern lay across the white fur, it was so lazy in the shed, and when it saw the sudden, it got up and shook its fur, and let out a shocking roar.
"Hey, old man, you're hungry too, aren't you? I'm going to have a good fight today. Shutu walked over and rode out of the camp on the back of the tiger.
Outside the barracks, the armies had already been assembled and lined up neatly, and the army of 1.4 million was mighty.
The whole unit was crowded, but it was unusually quiet.
The three cavalry of war horses, tigers, and green wolves kept their distance, and the animals of the main three armies could not coexist together, which was nature that could not be changed.
Shutu rode the tiger, made a general round, nodded with satisfaction, and then came to a stop in front of the army. Looking at the Qingyuan Prefecture capital city in the distance, he took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "Go out!" ”
