Chapter 363: Sense of Smell

Noticed that Guanshengyuan was carrying out very special activities, there were always people, Zhou Rui had not been in contact with Ye Tao and them for a long time, since he began to take revenge on Daoming Sect, with his outstanding skills and the ability to stealth and disappear with that set of talent and training, he has killed as many as twenty-nine people in Daomingzong, Eagle Hall, and Snake Eyes. And these twenty-nine people are all a bit of a level and a little influential. Especially when he actually assassinated the head of a professional assassination organization like Snake Eye, which made Sun Xiaofan furious. However, he himself almost died in an assassination attempt by Zhou Rui, but fortunately, the time and place were favorable, and with a group of desperate protection, he was only slightly injured, and Zhou Rui retreated. Sun Xiaofan knows the truth of "come out to mix, sooner or later you have to pay it back", in addition to stepping up protection, he doesn't have too many complaints.

Zhou Rui's goal was Sun Xiaofan from the beginning, but occasionally killing some important people related to Daoming Sect was also convenient. And now, he tracked Sun Xiaofan to Anqing. Although he had only been in Anqing for a few days, after a little inquiry about the interesting people and interesting things in Anqing recently, he immediately knew that Yuanyuan Garden and Guansheng Garden must have been Ye Tao's handiwork. has been by Ye Tao's side for many years, and he also has a lot of understanding of Ye Tao and Tan Weixin's whimsical ideas, as well as the most basic principles contained in them. It's just that although he knew these and knew that he could get in touch with Ye Tao and his party at any time, he did not reveal his identity in front of enemies and friends, but continued to quietly and carry out his own hunt alone.

Zhou Rui's situation is even more dangerous than Ye Tao and his party. Although he has achieved considerable results for a long time, Daoming Sect, Eagle Hall, and Snake Eye are not only eating white food, but also summing up lessons and lessons for his various habits and methods, and have a set of methods to deal with them. After infiltrating Anqing, he almost ran into a trap laid by Eagle Hall and Snake Eye during an assassination operation against an official who was supported by the Daoming Sect. Occasionally glimpsed a figure at the level of the hall master of the Eagle Hall who was very careless when he was on guard, which made him doubt whether the official was really there, Zhou Ruiduo lurked for an hour, and it turned out that in that hour, he saw a few dark sentinels in ambush changing guards, and his keen ears caught a certain small leader mentioning his name, and at this time, he understood that the official he was going to kill was indeed there, but there was also a group of extremely elite manpower, if he crashed into it, it was likely that he would not be spared. Even if he can get out, he will have to go out because he provoked the Anqing Soldiers and Horses Division and the whole city.

Zhou Rui never did meaningless things such as forenotice before the assassination, and guessed that Zhou Rui had come to Anqing's Eagle Hall and Snake Eyes, and arranged this kind of killing game, at least it showed that they had a considerable understanding of Zhou Rui's mode of choosing targets.

After Zhou Rui observed a little near Guansheng Garden, he retreated in the crowd. He knew that so many elite soldiers in the special battalion opened a shop in disguise, and it was definitely not for fun, but what specific tasks were being carried out was not what he wanted to figure out now. However, he was somewhat confident in the abilities of the fighters he had trained. This time, the special battalion should have dispatched the elites of team A and team B, and among these people, there are several who can stand up to first-class second-rate Jianghu experts alone. And when they gather together, relying on advanced and sophisticated weapons, relying on tacit cooperation with each other, relying on their adaptability to various terrains and environments and many other skills, their combat effectiveness is far greater than their combat power on the battlefield. After all, the special battalion was not set up from the beginning to fight head-on.

Zhou Rui wore a round ugly hood, mixed in with many Daoming Sect believers, and slowly walked towards the large square in front of the Nanshi Land Temple, which was nervously preparing for the upcoming ** meeting. It is said that it is a land temple, but in fact, it has long been accepted by the Daoming Sect, and the Daoming Sect has undergone a Daoming-style change, and the Daoming Sect is also a multi-god trading system, and it is no problem to contain a land elder. Now, this perennial land temple with strong incense has embarrassingly become the most prosperous concentration of believers in the vicinity of Anqing.

Daomingzong carried out this kind of activity, and the Anqing Soldiers and Horses Division was also very anxious, and the two teams of officers and soldiers stood majestically on both sides of the square, armed with spears. There were also some officers and soldiers armed with waist knives patrolling, chatting with those practitioners and Taoist priests of the Daoming Sect from time to time, and helping to sort out the crowd. These tendencies were also learned from Dongping. It's just that compared with the gentle and natural attitude of the city guards in many cities in Dongping when they were doing this kind of management and guidance, the attitude of the officers and soldiers of the Anqing Terracotta Division was much rougher and harsher. This situation is also expected, in Dongping, Yunzhou, the life of the common people is much better, the poor and helpless people are much less, and the vast majority of the sergeants in Dongping are conscription, and they are also from the small people, and the city guards in many places and the people they guide and manage are all villagers, so naturally they are easy to talk a lot.

Zhou Rui's earthy dress did not attract the attention of the sergeants, and soon mixed in the crowd into the square in front of the Land Temple, although he was late, he still quickly crowded to the front of the crowd, filled a bowl of tea and drank in a place where drinking water was distributed, and found a small place nearby, and sat on the ground like the poor and curious believers around, waiting for the opening of the puja.

Perhaps he was accustomed to seeing the professional performance of the department that specialized in organizing all kinds of activities in Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion, and the Taoist priests and feather priests of the Daoming Sect who were in charge of this matter and the practitioners who were responsible for running errands shuttled back and forth, sweating profusely, which made him a little disdainful. Near the high platform erected in the square, there were people from the Daoming Sect who were busy going back and forth, as well as many disciples of the Eagle Hall. But near the high platform, Zhou Rui also found a lot of snake-eyed people. He's dealt with Snake Eyes too much, and it's not the first time he's seen each other. Unlike Eagle Hall, although Sun Xiaofan has gathered a lot of strength in various places and bought many people, there are not too many core personnel of Snake Eyes, and those who are directly under Snake Eyes have to have some ability.

Looking around and around, Zhou Rui finally froze on a person who was in the middle of the high platform and the gate of the Land Temple at this moment. That is the official supported by the Daoming Sect who wanted to assassinate him when he almost fell into the trap, this guy is now a member of the Ministry of Rites, although the official position is not very high, but he is in charge of the equipment when the Xiling Imperial Court organizes sacrifices, ancestor worship, sending troops and other ceremonies, and it can be regarded as well-informed, at this moment, this guy is wearing a set of practitioner's robes, but he is guiding those Taoist priests to make the final preparations. Zhou Rui was thinking about whether to find an opportunity to slaughter him, and demonstrate to Snake Eye and Eagle Hall, saying that he knew about their trap? Zhou Rui struggled for a while, but still gave up. There are many people who can be killed, but if you kill this guy with a low rank, it will be a statement to the people of the Daoming Sect: Your guess about me is correct. Then it is better to let this person go and let them "reflect".

Then, he saw a guy coming out of the gate of the Land Temple at this moment. The man looked to be in his sixties, but he was in good spirits and walked like a fly. He was wearing the same robe as those of the Daoming Sect's practitioners, Taoist priests, and feather priests, but it was black. Only the placket and belt are the bright yellow colors that the Daoming Sect advocates the most.

Zhou Rui immediately felt that this was definitely a big fish. But then he saw Mo Leng following this person, and there were four Eagle Hall masters behind them. Looking at Mo Leng's attitude towards this old man, although he was polite and polite in his gestures, he also revealed a little disapproving atmosphere everywhere.

Mo Leng, now as the leader of the Eagle Hall, has greatly improved his status in the entire Daoming Sect's system. This is thanks to the carefully organized bombing of the Daoming Sect General Altar of the Mixed Yuan Hall by the Yunzhou side. After that incident, the high-level of the Daoming Sect escaped, and it was Mo Leng who reunited the scattered situation on the spot with his strong wrists, and organized the first rescue and rescue materials, which reduced the loss of the Daoming Sect to a minimum. And in this case, Mo Leng naturally won the great favor and trust of countless sectarians and the middle layer in the Daoming Sect. However, Mo Leng did not take revenge on the original high-level for not paying attention to Yingtang, and even acquiesced to Sun Xiaofan's formation of Snake Eye in order to limit his power, but quickly welcomed back the high-level and continued to obey all arrangements in a very low-key manner. However, from the Pope onwards, no one will look at Mo Leng in the same way as before, and Mo Leng has unknowingly become the second person in the current Daoming Sect after the Pope. Even Snake Eyes, an organization that has never been as strong as Eagle Hall, but it was originally on an equal footing with Eagle Hall, now has to be responsible to Mo Leng.

Zhou Rui took a deep breath. Mo Leng appeared with that old man, it was really interesting. Judging from Mo Leng's demeanor, that old man will definitely not be the Pope of Daoming Sect or something, but he must also be a character, and he should be one of the top five leaders. Just as Zhou Rui was thinking about the possibility of changing his target on the spot, suddenly, he saw some acquaintances in the crowd.

"What are you doing here?" What Zhou Rui saw was Cao Pojun and Gu Xi. He stood up quietly, quietly squeezed beside the two men, and asked softly. Cao Pojun, who is known as Lei Jun, is a thorn in Daomingzong's eyes, and Gu Xi and Daomingzong also have deep grudges, although they wear makeup, they can't be recognized by people who are not familiar, but after all, these two people appear here, once they are discovered, it will be a terrible situation.
