Chapter 16: Let's Be Assassins First

Lin Feng placed the five brothers in a remote courtyard just one street away from King Zheng's mansion, which Lin Feng noticed when he went out in the afternoon. This is an independent small courtyard, which has five main houses and three hall houses, and the furniture and bedding in the house are basically complete, and they are still relatively new, and the rent for a year is three gold coins.

The original owner of the yard was a small official of Zhishi, and the family returned to Ningzhou and entrusted the rental to a neighbor. Seeing that there was still a piece of flowers and plants in the courtyard, Lin Yi liked it very much, and immediately handed over the three gold coins to the leader who was in charge of renting, and rented them for a year.

Lin Feng left a gold coin for Chen Fei and told them to familiarize themselves with the surrounding situation first, buy some daily necessities, and wait at home for him to come back for dinner. Afterwards, Lin Feng hurried back to King Zheng's mansion.

At this time, it was getting late, and the lights and candles in front of King Zheng's mansion had been lit, Lin Feng instructed one of the guards on the gate of the mansion to summon all the other guards to gather in the martial arts arena, and he rushed to King Zheng's study.

As Lin Feng expected, Li Yu was painting in the study. I saw that between Li Yu's brushstrokes, the pen and pen correspondingly, going back and forth in reverse, swaying freely, gathering or scattering, deep or shallow, imaginary and real, sparse and dense, and clearly layered.

It is reported that Li Yu's paintings of landscapes, ink bamboo, and feathers are all refreshing and good, especially the ink bamboo, which is called "iron hook lock". Bamboo, in ancient times, was often used by the literati to express the pure taste, integrity of integrity, the quality of humility and pure thoughts and feelings. Therefore, in the cultural interpretation of the literati, the ink and bamboo are integrated with the philosophical meaning from the connotation, and the calligraphy is born from the outside form, and the meaning becomes a synthesis of calligraphy, painting and Taoism, and directly becomes a direct portrayal of personality and character. In this sense, ink bamboo is a specimen, scale, and basic skill of Chinese literati painting.

"What a picture of ink and bamboo, the cultivation of the fence is vigorous, the momentum is magnificent, and King Zheng is very good." Lin Feng praised.

Because he valued Lin Feng very much, Li Yu once specifically told Lin Feng that he would not need to be polite when he arrived. Therefore, it wasn't until he heard the words that Li Yufang, who was focusing on painting, knew that Lin Feng had arrived.

"Mr. Lin praised. I wonder what Mr. Lin has to say? Li Yu looked at the painting in front of him with satisfaction, and reluctantly put down the brush in his hand.

"Another martial arts battle with Brother Zhiqing has actually begun, I want to discuss with the rest of the guards how to deal with it now, I wonder if King Zheng is interested?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Of course I am. Let's go. Li Yu immediately put down the pen in his hand and rushed to the martial arts arena with Lin Feng. After Lin Feng won the race, Li Yu, who was a teenager, became more curious about him, what else would this Mr. Lin not know? In what way will he win Liu Cheng?

In a big room next to the martial arts arena, the remaining nineteen guards such as Wei San, Han Yu, Huang Yishan, and Chen Kai had all arrived. After eating at noon, Liu Cheng hurriedly selected the three masters who participated in the long-distance running competition: Chen Li, Zhao Zanting, and Zhao Tianba, and after confessing to Liu Yu, they hurriedly left together.

Some of them were sitting, some were standing, and they were discussing loudly in twos and threes. Seeing Li Yu and Lin Feng coming in one after the other, everyone stood up and greeted in unison: "See King Zheng!" ”

Li Yu waved his hand, signaling that everyone didn't need to be polite, and looked at Lin Feng. Lin Feng looked around and found that there were only seven or eight seats here. Lin Feng smiled slightly, walked over and lifted a large chair in the middle of the house, put it in the middle of the house, and bowed down to ask Li Yu to sit down, Li Yu didn't know why, and hesitated to sit down.

At this time, Lin Feng bowed his hand to all the guards: "Brothers, everyone is a person who practices martial arts, and we can't bear red tape, let's take King Zheng as a starting point and sit in a circle underground." After speaking, he lifted his robe and took the lead in sitting on the ground on Li Yu's left hand side.

Everyone was stunned, but they reacted quickly and immediately sat in a big circle. As soon as Li Yu saw this form, he immediately moved the chair away and sat on the ground with his ass, Lin Feng didn't stop him if he wanted to.

At this time, everyone's vision of Lin Feng was different. After all, Lin Feng used his strength to prove that he was not a "useless" scholar in their eyes in the morning, and now, Lin Feng once again won some of their favor with an equal attitude.

Lin Feng arched his hand again: "Brothers, now, we are grasshoppers strung on a rope loop, and passengers sitting on a boat, and the competition in three days will soon come." Twenty guards, plus Lin is half, if we can't defeat the four so-called assassins, we can buy a piece of tofu and kill them together. Several of the guards had a smile on their faces when they heard him say something funny, and one of the guards even laughed out loud.

Lin Feng's tone changed, and his tone was cold: "Some people may have an indifferent attitude towards victory or defeat because of Captain Liu, and there may also be people who are more timid about the strength of Captain Liu and the other four. But I want to make it clear to you that the success or failure of this competition is no longer the victory or defeat of me and Liu Cheng, but the victory or defeat of all of us and Liu Cheng, and the result of the game will determine whether we can raise our heads in front of King Zheng in the future, and whether we can raise our heads in front of everyone in the palace. It can even be said that the game is also related to King Zheng's face, and King Zheng is willing to be the target of this operation for us, in fact, he has already sided with us, and if he fails, King Zheng's reputation will also be damaged. Everyone said, can we lose this game? Lin Feng shouted loudly.

"Can't lose!" Wei San was the first to shout loudly in a thick voice, he had already seen that Liu Cheng was not angry, what a good opportunity this was. The rest of the guards reacted and shouted, "Can't lose!" ”

"I can tell you in no uncertain terms that we won the game, but the question we have now is, how to win, how to win beautifully!" Lin Feng looked around with confidence, seeing that everyone's eyes were no longer afraid, only excited, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Knowing the other is invincible. Now, let's discuss the details of the battle. First of all, can anyone tell me what weapons Liu Cheng and the other four are good at using and what are the characteristics of martial arts? Lin Feng looked around at everyone again.

"Liu Cheng makes a knife, which is a family knife technique, and the knife technique is ruthless; Chen Li makes the sword, and the sword walks elegantly; Zhao Zanting is good at using flying knives, mainly sneak attacks; Zhao Tianba, as his name suggests, is fierce and domineering. It was Wei San who replied first.

"So, where do you think Liu Cheng and the others will stay?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"Chief Liu's mentality has always been very arrogant, the villain thinks that the four of them will only think that the failure of the long-distance run in the morning is just a moment of vigilance, and the villain deduces that they will only drink and curse at Liu Cheng's house, and wait for three days to teach us a lesson." This time, it was a thin-looking guard who answered.

"Good, very good. But there is one bad thing, everyone sits together, they are all brothers, and they call themselves villains, which is the biggest bad. Lin Feng said with a smile, and the surrounding guards laughed together, and the man also laughed after being stunned. Li Yu didn't speak, but at this time, he couldn't help but laugh. Staying with such a group of straightforward men, he felt a kind of ease that he had never felt before.

Lin Feng was a particularly staunch egalitarian in his previous life, he always believed that all living beings were equal, all were mortals, and living together in this world, there was no question of who was higher and who was lower. He immediately asked, "What is this brother's name?" ”

"Little ...... Below is Zheng Yucong. The man almost shouted the word "villain" again, but fortunately stopped the car in time, making everyone laugh again.

The two laughter broke the invisible barrier, and the atmosphere of the scene suddenly became much more harmonious.

"Brother Xie Lu, Xie Yucong. The lonely branch is easy to break, and the towering tree is difficult to shake. As long as we are all like Brother Zheng, we will give full play to our wisdom and bring them together, and it will only be a trivial matter for Chief Liu and the others to be arrested. Lin Feng continued to encourage everyone.

"Now, we're doing the opposite. If you want to break the assassin, become an assassin first. We all think of ourselves as an Assassin who is going to attack the palace, so please tell us what we will do. ”

"I'm going to attack when people want to sleep the most."

"I'll find a way to sneak in and launch a surprise attack when everyone thinks it's the least likely."

"I'll delay the attack for a few days, and wait for the guards to lose their vigilance and suddenly attack."

……

The guards rushed to speak, and Lin Feng stared into the eyes of each of the guards who spoke, praising their active participation.

"I'm going to poison their water and succeed." One of the guards said suddenly. Everyone was stunned, and immediately looked at him with contempt, this means assassinating King Zheng, King Zheng is sitting on the ground!

"Ha Luha, ruthless enough! However, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find such a ruthless poison for a while. Lin Feng gave the guard a thumbs up and laughed to bring the matter over. Such a ruthless person has to pay more attention in private.

"At the end of the day, I want to ask everyone, the standard equipment of the guard's weapon is a waist knife, but everyone must have their own best weapon? Please go back tonight and think about how to combine them to play a 1+1>2 effect. We'll see you tomorrow on the martial arts arena. Lin Feng left a homework question for everyone.

"Okay, Xie Lu, thank you, brothers, with everyone's efforts, I have successfully come up with a way to win, please deign to obey Lin's deployment these days." Lin Feng didn't want to give out his thoughts in front of everyone, in case one of them was transparent with Liu Cheng, he would be very passive.

"Don't worry, the big guy will obey Mr. Lin's orders." The guards answered. Everyone is not stupid, Lin Feng is so valued by King Zheng, it is only a matter of time before he soars into the sky, besides, if he wins, he will have gold coins to get, and no one wants to be looked down upon in the palace after losing, and now they are all determined to win this game.

"Good. Brothers work together, and their profits are broken. Let's put on a good show for King Zheng. Lin Feng walked to the middle, crossed his hands together, and looked at all the guards. Zheng Yucong reacted the fastest, and immediately got up and rushed over, stacking his hands on Lin Feng's hands, and soon, all the guards surrounded him and folded their hands together.

"Victory!" Lin Feng raised his hand vigorously and put it down again. Everyone followed the same example, just like the cheers of the basketball team before the last game, and shouted in unison: "We must win!" ”

WHEN LIN FENG SHOUTED AT FIRST, LI YU COULDN'T HELP IT, AND WHEN THE GUARDS SHOUTED TOGETHER, HE COULDN'T HOLD IT ANYMORE, AND HE ALSO SQUEEZED IN AND PUT HIS HAND ON THE HIGHEST PLACE. Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and shouted again: "Victory!" ”

This time, Li Yu's voice was louder than anyone else's.
