Chapter 784: Jialing Secret Path
Jialing City.
Standing on the east side of the Xiongjiang River, as the largest river port in the territory of Kaupyeong, Jialing Castle has long been an important town in the Kaupyeong District after the main city of Kaupyeong. There are a lot of merchants who rely on ships to travel from south to north here, and the security of the town is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary small towns.
Leaving Zhou Town overnight, Lu Ping, who had traveled two hundred miles at night, had already arrived near Jialing City when the sky was slightly white. Outside the gate of the east city, there was already a long queue at this time, all of them wanted to enter Jialing City, and go to other places along the river port here. Among them were ordinary merchants and cultivators. But there are very few people who have privileges in front of this city gate, and they can only wait for the opening time of the city gate according to the rules of Jialing City.
The four of Lu Ping had already changed their clothes at this time. In the center is Fang Yizhu, dressed in silk and satin, holding a snuffbox in his right hand, his eyes are wide, and he looks like a wealthy businessman. Morin, on the other hand, was a stub of skill, walking in front of the head to open the way, as if he was ready to take care of everything. Lu Ping walked behind Fang Yizhu, carrying a burden, and he didn't know what to pack in the burden, which looked quite heavy. Ling Ziyan followed Fang Yizhu's right hand, holding a pair of snuff and waiting at any time. This is her old job, and she is not in a hurry and has no flaws.
That's how the four of them came all the way, and it was precisely because of the hint of Mogai's sentence: animals are much easier to deceive than people.
They are not clever in role-playing, and if they are targeted, I am afraid that they will soon be able to see many flaws, but in the eyes of animals, how can they see their true colors? After all, the means of the bionic system are to use the link of animals, and when animals are troubled, the information they receive will become very unreal.
Two hundred miles passed without incident, and now the four of them blended into the crowd in line. There was no one around who paid attention to them, but how to pass the pass when they entered the city to check it? The four of them began to look at me, I look at you.
"Don't you know that's the case here?" Fang leaned into a whisper towards Merin.
"It wasn't like this before, could it be because of us?" Morin whispered.
Fang Yizhu held his head high, strode forward a few steps, and said in his throat: "Eh, who is that?"
There were a lot of people who turned around, Fang Yi glanced at the past, and even he didn't know which one he was looking at, he just asked: "What's going on with this Jialing City?
"Ask me?" Turning back to one of the several people, he didn't know how to come up with such a misunderstanding.
"Yes, that's you. Fang Yizhu said immediately.
"It's not because of those felons who have been wanted for a long time that they heard that they ran into Kaupaira District, so Kaupaira District issued such a strict order. The man sighed and said, followed by many people complaining, blaming the culprit for several felons, and those who felt that the Xuan Army was incompetent.
After Fang Yi got this information, he no longer participated in the discussion, and returned to look at Lu Ping and the others, with a face of "That's true."
"In that case, I don't know how long it will take, so let's go and rest first!" said Morin, pretending.
"It's fine. Fang Yizhu nodded, so the four masters and servants of their group temporarily left the team and retreated to the side, but not too many people paid attention to it, and then the four slowly disappeared from the crowd's field of vision.
After leaving the land for about a few miles, and seeing that there was no one around, the four of them stopped and began to discuss. Lu Ping and Ling Ziyan have little experience in this kind of thing, and after all, they still need Fang Yizhu and Mo Lin to come up with ideas. And Mo Lin, as the planner of plan 2, looks like he is ready at this time.
"Don't panic, I have an arrangement. Morin said.
"No panic. Lu Ping said.
"What are your arrangements?" asked Fang Yizhu.
"If you can only get in and out of a town through the city gates, we Assassin brothers can't get mixed up?" Morin said proudly.
"Oh, do you know any other way?" Lu Ping remembered that when he first started in Gorge Peak City, Mo Lin knew that there was a secret mountain road that went straight into the city from outside the mountain.
"I'm not very familiar with Jialing City, but the road is still a little bit. Morin said.
"So what?" Fang Yi said.
"Wait a minute, it should be soon. Maureen said, looking around. The road has always been led by him, including after leaving the queue to enter the city, it was he who led the three of them to this side, looking around now, as if they were expecting something.
Lu Ping's expression suddenly moved slightly at this time, turned around, and looked at the grove on the side.
"Someone. Lu Ping said.
"It's human to wait. Maureen said, and he, who had always been the most cautious, strode towards the grove. When a figure came out from behind the tree, he was even more smiling.
The man walked out of the woods and greeted Morin, and after the two had spoken a few words, the man glanced at Lu Ping and the three of them, and then nodded. Then Morin turned and beckoned to the three of them.
When the three of them stepped forward, the man had already re-entered the forest, and the three of them looked at Merlin suspiciously.
"Just follow him. Maureen said, stepping along.
"Who is that?" Fang Yizhu asked.
"Peer. Maureen said.
"Peers?"
"My peers. Maureen said.
Fang Yizhu pondered for a long time, and finally asked, "Assassin Alliance?"
"Knowledge, isn't it?" Morin said with a glance at Fang Yi and a little surprised.
"A little bit of it. Fang Yizhu said.
"What is it?" Luping asked.
"How do I explain this, an association of Assassins helping each other?" Fang replied with the intention of asking Morin.
"What do you think, man?" said Merlin as he shouted at the man leading the way.
The one paused, glanced back, but said nothing, turned back and continued to lead the way quietly.
That's basically what he meant. Is that understandable?" Morin said to Lupin.
"It's ok. Lu Ping nodded.
"Ahem. Finally, there was a soft cough from the one in front.
"The organization is disciplined, you are outsiders, and I can't talk too much to you. Me, this old brother, and today's events, you all have to forget about it later, understand? Morin said with a serious expression, but there was a bit of narrowness in his eyes.
"Hmm. Lu Ping answered honestly and didn't say much.
The four of them followed the one silently. The grove near Jialing City was not very big, and after following for a while, the one who led the way stopped, looked around on guard, and beckoned the four to approach.
The four of them approached, and the man had stopped in front of a tree, and with a wave of his hand, the bark that seemed to be intact was suddenly torn off a large piece, revealing a half-man-high hole in the tree.
"It's good that we're not fat. Looking at the hollow in the tree, Merlin muttered.
The passer-by stepped aside, Fang Yizhu stepped forward, carefully perceived it, and found no problems, entering and going down from the tree hole, it seemed to be a tunnel, which seemed to lead to Jialing City.
"Thank you, brother. Maureen beckoned to the man leading the way.
"Death to a man who is a confidant. But the man replied.
"Death to a man who is a confidant. Maureen nodded, and replied with the same sentence.
"Is this your incision?" Fang Yizhu couldn't help but ask.
"It's tradition, it's the spirit of the Assassins. Maureen said.
"Don't you want money to kill people?" Fang Yizhu said.
"Less nonsense, hurry. Maureen shouted.
The four of them went into the tree hole one by one, and set up a wooden ladder inside, and walked down the stairs, and sure enough, it was a passage underground. It's spacious, and it doesn't seem to be just a secret passage. The four of them were looking left and right, but the hole they had come down from had been resealed. There was a glimmer of light on the left and right walls of the tunnel, and I don't know what glowing things were embedded on it, but for cultivators, such a glimmer was enough.
"Let's go. Morin said, leading the way towards the depths of the tunnel, followed by Lu Ping and the others.
Outside the hole that had just been closed, the one who led the way had straightened the bark and there was no trace of it. With a press of the palm on the tree, a custom symbol drawn by the power of courage suddenly lit up on the bark, flashed a few times and then disappeared.
The man clapped his hands, circled the tree twice, examined it carefully, and after repairing it, finally nodded with satisfaction, smiled lightly, and turned away.
