[Not quite right...... I always feel that something is not quite right......]

In his own room, the withered sheep supported his forehead with his hands, and his eyebrows were full of worry.

"Squeak-"

The door opened lightly, and the general Xu Chang pushed the door in, followed by two men dressed in black.

"Dashuai, the people of Dongling have arrived."

Seeing the withered sheep sitting in the house with a thoughtful look, Xu Chang reminded softly.

"Hmm." With a light response, the withered sheep turned his head to look at the two assassins of the Dongling people behind Xu Chang, looking them up and down.

As if noticing the withered sheep's scrutinizing gaze, the two assassins clenched their fists and introduced themselves in a deep voice.

"Blade Five, Blade Nine, on the orders of the three leaders, come to report the current situation in the city to the little uncle."

The three leaders mentioned in the mouths of the two of them refer to the third elder of the Dongling people, the Fusi Si Duwei of the Northern Town of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the murderer "sickle" Mo Fei.

Thinking about it, you also know that Blade Five and Blade Nine are just code names, after all, the Dongling people are much stricter than the Jinling people in terms of the rules for managing the internal personnel of the pavilion, and almost all the elite assassins in the pavilion have abandoned their original names. It's no wonder, after all, although they are subordinate to the imperial court, they still inevitably have to do something less honorable after all, and using a code name is always more comfortable for them than using their own life.

[Two people...... Is it? ]

The withered sheep was a little surprised in his heart, you must know that Guangling City is full of Taiping soldiers and Guangling assassins, I thought that Mo Fei would have to send a dozen people to contact him, otherwise if he was bumped into by the Guangling assassins, he would not be able to escape after a fight, resulting in the sacrifice of both messengers, wouldn't this be a big mistake? However, Mo Fei only sent two people, which was really a bit unexpected by the withered sheep.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, the withered sheep asked in a low voice, "Report to me the current situation in the city...... In other words, are the Assassins of Guixing and Guangling still fighting each other? ”

"This is what Lord Xie ordered!" The Assassin, codenamed Five Blades, clenched his fists and whispered, "Assassin." Eyes and ears too! Before the Great War, our Dongling people must purge the Guangling Assassins in the city. Without the Guangling Assassin as the eyes and ears, Wu Heng would not be able to monitor the entire Guangling! ”

"Hmm!" The withered sheep nodded approvingly. He was very sure of his brother-in-law Xie An's approach, after all, when he chose to rebel against Wu Heng and join the Zhou army, what he was most afraid of was not the Taiping army guards at the city gates, but those Guangling assassins who were mixed in the dark. You know, as long as one of the assassins detects his true intentions, then in this game between him and Wu Heng, he will die a miserable death.

"Are you sure? - Purge the entire Guangling Assassin Lodge? The withered sheep asked subconsciously, and after asking, he noticed a little displeasure in the eyes of the two assassins in front of him. Waving his hand, he explained with a smile. "The withered sheep is by no means underestimating the strength of your hotel. It's just that I think that the Guangling Assassins are rumored to have three to five hundred people, but most of the personnel of the Guixing Pavilion are still in Jijing, and only a few hundred people remain in the Zhou army. There is a huge disparity in the number of people......"

Hearing what the withered sheep said, Jian Wu was relieved, and said in a very conceited tone, "Don't worry, little uncle, Guangling assassin...... It's just a bunch of cowards who rely on the bodies of the women in the museum to make money and run the hotel. ”

The withered sheep was shocked when he heard this. You must know that the five major assassin pavilions in the world, including Hongshan Dongling and Jiangdong Guangling, it is hard to imagine that the Dongling assassins in Hongshan look down on the Guangling assassins here.

But then again, it is undeniable that the Guangling Assassin ranks last among the five major assassin lodges in the world, after all, when the "Mirage" Qin Ke'er was in power earlier. The Guangling Assassins basically only sold valuable information to people, and rarely killed people on the pretext of missions; On the other hand, the assassins of Hongshan Dongling specialized in those tasks and killed people, and they were notorious, so that the Great Zhou court once regarded them as a cancer and wanted to get rid of them quickly.

Sometimes the withered sheep is really a little incomprehensible, after all, according to rumors, all the people in Dongling are some unruly guys, it is hard to imagine that this gang of murderers will be cleaned up and subdued by his brother-in-law Xie An, you must know that a simple threat can not control this gang of murderers for a lifetime.

It can only be said that the withered sheep still knows too little about the internal affairs of the Dongling people, for example, the boss of the Dongling people, Di Bu, admires most is not Xie An, but the Liangqiu dance, who has to be called the senior sister after worshipping the Liangqiu family to learn martial arts; For example, the third Mo Fei and the fourth Qian Xi are most in awe of Xie An, but his second wife, the eldest grandson Xiangyu of the "concubine" who "can be a man, he will definitely be able to overshadow the heroes of the world"; Counting around, I'm afraid that only the second Gou Gong is Xie An's hardcore confidant, but this is not because of Xie An's verbal threat, but because of his personal charm, after all, the two smell the same, and this is what is referred to when things gather people in groups.

"More than 100 people ......" muttered softly, the withered sheep stood up and paced back and forth in the house, and asked hesitantly, "The so-called long night dreams are many, I don't want to delay this matter for too long, tomorrow night, I should try to open a city gate in Guangling to cater to the Zhou army entering the city......

Hearing this, there was a little doubt in his eyes, and he said puzzledly, "This matter has been ...... by the little uncle two days ago."

"No!" As if he had guessed the doubts in Blade Wu's heart, the withered sheep interrupted him, lowered his voice and said, "I mean, before tomorrow nightfall, can your pavilion completely suppress the Guangling assassins, lest my actions be detected by them and reported to Wu Heng!" ”

"Completely suppressed?" Hearing this, Blade Five's eyes flashed with a hint of sudden realization, and he lowered his voice and said, "In other words...... Kill them all, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots? ”

The withered sheep was slightly startled in his heart, because he clearly felt that a trace of murderous aura permeated from Jian Wu's body when he said those words, although it was only a wisp, but it made him feel cold all over his body.

[How many kills did it take to have such a murderous aura?] ]

The withered sheep secretly spoke, although this feeling was not as strong as the strong pressure brought to him by Mo Fei, but this could already prove that the Dongling assassin in front of him, codenamed Blade Five, was by no means a good match, he must be the elite of the Dongling people, and it was very likely to be a leader-level assassin.

I have to say that the intuition of the withered sheep is not bad at all, you must know that the Dongling people are not as harmonious as the Jinling people, although the brotherhood in the pavilion is also quite deep, but it is not uncommon to be competitive, the higher the ranking of the code name, the higher the strength of the assassin. The assassins with code names of less than ten are equivalent to the leading assassins such as Xiao Li and Xu Jie of Jinlingzhong. Of course. In terms of strength, the people of Dongling obviously want to beat the Jinling people, if there was no ghost Ji Jin Ling'er, a great assassin who can be called unparalleled in the world, to support the Jinling people, how can the Jinling people be able to defeat the Dongling people?

"Kill them all, cut the grass and eradicate the roots......" The withered sheep, who was intimidated by the other party's five murderous aura and felt that he was out of shape, took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "That's not enough, but I hope that your pavilion can ensure that when we take action, it will be difficult for the Guangling assassins to find out the real target of our army......"

The withered sheep at the moment didn't know that his plan to welcome the Zhou army from the west gate into the city was actually a trap carefully designed by Wu Heng.

Blade Five smiled when he heard this. whispered. "Actually. After the confrontation a few days ago, Guangling's gang of pus no longer dared to clash with us and the others, and hid like rats in a stinky ditch...... If the little uncle wants to kill them all and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, it is not impossible. It's just a bit of a trick to do......"

"Huh? - So fast? Hearing this, the withered sheep was moved, of course he knew that in the past few days and nights, the Dongling people had been infiltrating the city and fighting bloody battles with the Guangling assassins, but he really didn't expect that the Guangling assassins, who obviously had an absolute advantage in numbers, would be defeated so quickly, and surrender the control of the dark night of Guangling to the Dongling assassins.

"Because ......," Blade Wu said with a bitter smile, rather unwillingly, "because this time it wasn't me who acted alone. The people in Jinling also made a lot of efforts...... Of course, the big head is still my Dongling people, especially the three leaders...... Oh, anyway, even the second leader joined this time for the first time, and the second leader didn't like this kind of scuffle...... Good boys. A handful of poisonous powder came down, and Guangling's gang of pus were all killed......"

"......" looked at the inadvertent awe in the eyes of the five blades, and the withered sheep couldn't help but think of the scene when he used Xu Le to attack the Zhou army that night, at that time, the second leader of the Dongling people, the shadow snake Gou Gong, faced his more than 20,000 Niu Zhu army alone, so that the latter did not dare to take a step beyond the Lei Chi, and the invincible was nothing more than that. Sure enough, being able to become the second brother of Mo Fei, who can be called a unique assassin in the world, is really not an ordinary person.

[Unprecedented...... Did Gou Gong have a holiday with the Guangling Assassins? According to the grapevine, this person should have a holiday with his brother-in-law's third lady and ghost Ji Jin Ling'er, right? ]

The withered sheep couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart.

In fact, Gou Gong and Jin Ling'er did have a big and small conversation before they got to know Xie An one after another, after all, both of them are good at medicine, but Gou Gong is good at using poison, and Jin Ling'er is good at detoxification, and the problem that caused the conflict is that Gou Gong has not prepared a poison that can stump Jin Ling'er so far, plus Mo Fei and Jin Ling'er were just as worried about the name of the world's number one assassin at that time, which made the Dongling people and the Jinling people become old enemies. One is in Jinling, south of the Yangtze River, and the eight poles can't be beaten, where will there be any disputes.

As for why Gou Gong had a grudge with the Guangling Assassins, it is not something that the withered sheep can know. This grievance has been traced back to Xie An's secret visit to Jiangnan last year, when Wan Li, the second leader of the Guangling Assassins, borrowed the task of assassinating Xie An and sent hundreds of Guangling Assassins to assassinate Xie An.

And now, the opportunity to avenge this great revenge has arrived, where can Gou Gong still live on the ground, and immediately come here with the Dongling people and the Jinling people to avenge the revenge of the day. Coupled with Ding Qiu, the second-generation leader of the Jinling people, and many elite assassins, how can he be compared to the Guangling assassins who only have an advantage in numbers.

[It turned out to be an elite assassin under my brother-in-law's tent pouring out......]

Suddenly realized, the withered sheep was secretly surprised in his heart, although he also knew that the Dongling and Jinling assassins under his brother-in-law Xie An were quite fierce, but so easily beat the Guangling assassins, who had the absolute upper hand in numbers, like a rat who could only hide around, which was indeed beyond the expectations of the withered sheep.

But in any case, the thorn in the heart of the Guangling assassin can be said to have been removed, although Wan Li, the head of the Guangling assassin, has not yet bowed his head, but as long as he does not show up, it will not harm his withered sheep, and the withered sheep will not bother to pay attention to this person. After all, the top priority at the moment is how to welcome the Zhou army outside the city into the city.

Thinking of this, the withered sheep invited Blade Five and Blade Nine to come to the table, pointed to the marching map on the table, and said, "Since the hidden dangers in the city have been cleared for the time being, then. Now all that is left is the threat outside the city......" As he spoke, the withered sheep's fingers clicked a few times on the marching map, and said in a low voice, "Zhao She, the general of the Chinese army, Du Fang, the general of the right army, and Mu Guang, the general of the former army...... These three people set up camp here, here, and here, and they are only twenty miles away from Guangling at most, and if the brother-in-law wants to fight, he must send three generals to bite these three forces respectively. The rest of the troops attacked this Guangling. And so it goes. Inside and outside the city, you can be stable! ”

Hearing this, Jian Wu smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "This matter, my lord is also instructed by Lord Xie to report to the little uncle!" ――Uncle, rest assured. Those three so-called five-party heavenly generals, in front of those three generals, they can't make any tricks! ”

Seeing a little disdain in the eyes of the five blades, the withered sheep frowned and reminded, "This brother should not underestimate the five heavenly generals under Wu Heng's tent...... Although the withered sheep didn't want to admit it, the five people, including the late Wei Zhuang, were the bravest generals under Wu Heng's account, and they were better than the withered sheep...... It should be among the fierce generals in the world! ”

"The world's fierce generals?" Blade Five smiled. Shaking his head and saying, "Little uncle, don't worry, my Jizhou army is also a fierce general, in front of those three generals, the five heavenly generals will definitely have no chance of winning......

The withered sheep was stunned when he heard this. Immediately counted carefully, "In the eyes of the withered sheep, although the Jizhou army is called a fierce general, but it can be alone, only Fei Guo and Ma Dan, in addition, Zhang Dong Shoucheng is more than enterprising enough, although Tang Hao has both civil and military skills, but the martial arts are only comparable to the withered sheep, not the opponent of the five heavenly generals, as for Ou Peng and others, they are more than brave and resourceful, and they really can't think of any other general who can take on this role." ”

"Hasn't the little uncle forgotten General Liao Li?" Blade Five reminded in a low voice.

"Liao Li?" The withered sheep was slightly stunned, and the fierce general of the Zhou army who played with Weizhuang on the applause without much effort suddenly appeared in his mind, nodded and said, "General Liao's reputation is not obvious, so that the withered sheep actually forgot about General Liao...... As far as I know, it seems that General Liao has never led troops outside alone, right? ”

Hearing this, Jian Wu shook his head and said, "General Liao didn't lead the troops alone before, it's definitely not that he lacks ability, it's just that Lord Xie and the eldest grandson don't want this person to be in danger...... That's what the second leader said, and the specific contempt is unknown. ――And in the eyes of the contempt, General Liao's bravery and strategy are not inferior to General Fei Guo! ”

"Well, I hope ......so," he nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Well, in that case, I would like to ask this brother to go back and tell my sister...... Well, I would like to tell Lord Xie, tomorrow is the time to conspire with Wu Heng and conspire with Guangling! ”

"I understand!" Blade Five nodded, clenched his fists and said, "In that case, I will leave for the time being, and as for Blade Nine, I will stay by my little uncle's side as a guard, so as not to make any mistakes." ”

[Guards?] ]

The withered sheep glanced at Jian Jiu, who was not speaking next to him, with a little surprise, and to be honest, he was a little unimpressed. After all, if he really made a mistake in this operation, and caused the disaster of killing, how could a Dongling assassin be able to protect him thoroughly?

As if seeing the contempt in the withered sheep's heart, Blade Five smiled and said, "Although Blade Nine is alone, it is enough to reach the ten guards on the side of the little uncle!" ”

[Not really, right?] ]

The withered sheep glanced at Blade Nine in surprise.

Seeing that the withered sheep was still a little unconvinced, Jian Wu didn't explain anymore, turned around and left, and went back to convey the withered sheep's words to Xie An, leaving only the withered sheep, Xu Chang, and Jian Jiu in the house.

"Dashuai, it seems that Lord Xie has already dealt with it......"

After Blade Five left, Xu Chang, who had been listening from the sidelines, couldn't help but say with a smile on his face.

"Huh!" The withered sheep chuckled silently. However, in the bottom of his heart, he was quite in line with Xu Chang's words, he originally planned to make some suggestions to the Zhou army, but he didn't expect that the Zhou army had already sent people to contain the three forces of Zhao She, the general of the Chinese army, Du Fang, the general of the right army, and Mu Guang, the general of the former army.

However, after thinking about it, the Zhou army had Li Xian and Liu Qing, two military advisors who had no last resort, and the withered sheep suddenly felt that his reminder was really too much.

Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, the general Wang Jian sent back the good news with joy, saying that at night yesterday, Fei Guo, the commander of the Jizhou Army, who had been as stable as Mount Tai and sat in a key place, Ma Dan, the deputy marshal of the Jizhou Army, who had not seen the end of the dragon for more than ten days, and Liao Li, the new commander of the Zhou Army, respectively, launched a field battle with the Chinese army general Zhao She, the right army general Du Fang, and the former army general Mu Guang. actually defeated the former army general Mu Guang and retreated. That's not all, after Liao Li swept Mu Guang's camp, he also cooperated with Ma Dan to ambush Du Fang, the general of the right army, and almost disabled Du Fang's army.

It was a bit surprising that the fighter plane could be grasped so clearly in such a chaotic night.

"So, the soldiers and horses of the three heavenly generals outside the city are no longer able to return to Guangling?"

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and Rao is a withered sheep who has never joked can't help but joke.

"Isn't it!" Licking his lips, Wang Jian said with great interest, "This matter, the last general is listening to what his cousin said, that posterior army general Zhang Hong, is still hesitating to send reinforcements at the moment!" ”

"Your cousin?" The withered sheep was stunned when he heard this, and the inexplicable feeling of something wrong enveloped his heart again.

[Something is wrong...... I always felt that something was wrong...... But where? ]

Time passed in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, it was close to the time of the incident, and even Xu Chang and Wang Jian were already fully preparing for this, but the withered sheep felt that there was always a cloud of doubt lingering in his heart.

[etc......]

As if thinking of something, the withered sheep hurriedly called Wang Jian and Xu Chang back, and asked Wang Jiandao urgently, "Wang Jian, does Wu Heng know that Wang Liang is your cousin?" ”

Glancing at Xu Chang, who also felt inexplicable, Wang Jian said suspiciously, "You should know, right?" - Didn't the marshal say that Wu Heng deliberately promoted him to the guard of the South City Gate because he knew that Wang Liang was the cousin of the last general, so that he could sit back and wait for me to fall into the trap he set in advance? ”

"That's not right......" Narrowing his eyes, the withered sheep only felt a chill on his back, and muttered, "I know that Wang Liang is your cousin, but you still want to promote him to the guard of the South City Gate, the purpose is to make me think that I can act cheaply from the South City Gate...... Therefore, I chose the West Gate as the target of the uprising. But thinking about it on the other hand, Wu Heng couldn't have imagined that since Wang Liang is your close cousin, it stands to reason that he will also report to you...... For example, Zhang Hong hid behind the screen in the house that day...... In other words, without Wang Liang, we would not have known that Wu Heng's side had learned that we were plotting to rebel, nor would we have known that the South City Gate was actually a trap, so we would have changed the target to the West City Gate......"

"Dashuai means ......"

After concentrating on it and thinking about it carefully, the withered sheep's face suddenly changed greatly, and he said in a lost voice, "I see...... What cunning that guy is! ”

"Handsome?"

"Damn it! - Quick, Blade Nine, you report to my brother-in-law immediately, the West City Gate is the real trap set by Wu Heng! ”
