Chapter 229: Losing Ground
When night fell, Xu Mingyuan picked up his long sword, climbed out directly from the courtyard wall behind the room, and walked briskly along the alley.
All the way to the small courtyard that he had been to several times, Xu Mingyuan gently buckled the door of the courtyard, three long and two short.
The door creaked open, Yi turned sideways and let Xu Mingyuan walk in the door, looked left and right in the alley, and then closed the door.
Xu Mingyuan entered the room, there was an oil lamp lit on the wooden table in the room, and Wuya was standing at the table looking at a drawing.
Lao Lei moved a chair and sat aside, saw Xu Mingyuan enter the door, and smiled at him innocently. During this time, Xu Mingyuan had seen Lao Lei's honest smile, the thunder arrow that frightened the second-grade little grandmaster, if it was pulled away, and there was nothing to cover it, Xu Mingyuan felt that he couldn't even carry three arrows.
Leng Ye saw it when Xu Mingyuan entered the courtyard gate just now, sitting on the courtyard wall, leaning on the knife and watching the moon.
What kind of appearance is under Chu Yue's grimace mask, Xu Mingyuan has never seen it, he has asked Wuya and Yi in private, and both of them have never seen it.
Xu Mingyuan greeted everyone, walked straight to the table, looked at the detailed map spread out on the table, and asked softly, "What kind of map is this?" Why are you calling me in such a hurry? ”
"Pang Zhongqiu's mansion." Wuya's finger lightly tapped on the paper, looked at Xu Mingyuan and said softly.
Hearing this, Xu Mingyuan's eyes lit up, his gaze swept over the rather large mansion on the paper, and after a while, he looked at Wuya and said, "What did Chen Ya say at this time." ”
"He went to the palace tonight, let me tell you, think about how to kill him first, do it cleanly, and it must be successful, and he will deal with the rest of the matter." Wuya also lowered his voice and said, the flickering light flashing dangerously in his eyes.
When Xu Mingyuan heard this, he couldn't help but show a little surprise, he really didn't expect Chen Qiao to give such an order. Last time he asked Chen Qiao about this, he didn't give an answer, but it didn't stop him from continuing to investigate.
The death of Yang Xiao and Xing Liuzhi seems to have come to an end, and Qi Haobo's betrayal by himself also has two scapegoats who have died without proof, and Yuntai Division, who should have been calm, has not been calm at all during this time.
Although the assassination in the hunting ground has come to an end on the surface, in fact, the cleaning of the Yulin Army and the Yuntai Division has never stopped, not only the Xuanwu Room, but even the Vermilion Bird Room and the White Tiger Room have also been cleaned up.
Just like there are two deputy commanders in the Yulin Army who pay the price of their lives, it is impossible for the Yuntai Division to solve this matter with just a few minions. Xu Mingyuan and Wuya had also talked about this matter before, and it was estimated that at least one of the general flags in the Yuntai Division would be pushed out to take on this matter.
However, judging from Chen Qiao's order today, as well as entering the palace overnight, this matter finally fell on Pang Zhongqiu.
Pang Zhongqiu, as the commander in charge of the two rooms of Xuanwu and Qinglong, was at the same level as Chen Qiao, except for Shangguan Yuting, the commander of the Yuntai Division, who belonged to the highest official position of these two.
According to Xu Mingyuan's inference, Qi Haobo's incident should have something to do with Pang Zhongqiu, and it seems that Chen Qiao also believes this.
And this inference without direct evidence is not enough to make Pang Zhongqiu fall to death, and what finally crushes him is probably the assassination, and there is direct evidence.
"How to kill?" Xu Mingyuan didn't ask why, because the White Tiger House never asked the above why.
Wuya pointed to the house in the center of the map and said, "If Pang Zhongqiu is removed from the post of commander, then the number of Yuntai Division masters who originally protected him will be reduced a lot, and then our previous plan that could not be implemented will become feasible."
I don't know when the above order will come down, and once he is forced out of the Yuntai Division, he will definitely return to this mansion that he has spent ten years operating and designing.
The mansion in Tongjifang was so large that he had laid many traps that ordinary Assassins could not enter. Even if you go in, if you want to find Pang Zhongqiu in these hundreds of small courtyards, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in the sea. ”
Xu Mingyuan looked at the small courtyards on the drawings, which were large and small, and the style was almost identical, and he also smiled and said: "This old turtle is really afraid of death, and entering his mansion is afraid that it is easier to get lost than entering the palace." ”
"The more people you kill, the more afraid you are of death, not to mention that there are many people in this world who want him to die. In the past 20 years, countless people have died tragically in the black prison, and these blood feuds have finally been counted on his head.
Every year over the years, the Yuntai Division would kill a group of assassins who had entered the courtyard, and if they knew that Pang Zhongqiu had lost power and left the Yuntai Division, I am afraid that his mansion, which had not played any role, would be visited every day. Wuya sneered.
Xu Mingyuan nodded and said, "If that's the case, we don't need to worry, wait for those assassins to destroy the mechanism to the ground, and then go in to find that Pang Zhongqiu, which can save a lot of effort." ”
"Well, that's what I mean, if the six of us only need to deal with one Pang Zhongqiu, he really has the strength of the peak of the second grade, and he also has a chance to kill.
It's just that there is intelligence that Pang Zhongqiu may have a powerful assassin by his side, who is with him, and his strength is not below him, which is the biggest uncertain factor. Wuya nodded slightly, frowning again.
"A great assassin?" Xu Mingyuan also raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly sounded Every time he entered the dark room of the old blind man, there would be a feeling of being spied on from time to time, and he was probably also an assassin who was very good at hiding in the dark.
"If there really is such a person, it will be up to me and Leng Ye to deal with it." Chu Yue, who had not spoken on the side, spoke.
Hearing this, Xu Mingyuan thought about it, but shook his head and said: "If there is really such a person, I'm afraid it is not something that the two of you can deal with, once they are scattered, they can only be broken by each of them, and there is no chance of victory." ”
Chu Yue's hand holding the long sword clenched a little, looked at Xu Mingyuan, and did not continue to speak.
Xu Mingyuan pointed to the piece of paper on the table, looked at Wuya and said, "Draw dozens of copies of the sketch of this picture, and then release the news of Pang Zhongqiu's loss of power, and sell these pictures for one hundred taels each." ”
"One hundred taels a piece, will anyone ask for it?" Yi was puzzled on the side.
"How can people who don't even want their lives care about silver. If you give it to them directly, they will think it's a fake, so the price of a hundred taels is not too expensive. Wuya glanced at Xu Mingyuan and explained softly.
Hearing this, Yi nodded thoughtfully and gave a thumbs up to the two. (To be continued.) )
