Chapter 121: The Goal Is Not There
85_85769 At the back of the Xuanhuo City City Lord's Mansion, there is a very wide garden.
Bing Han and the other three felt that the city lord would definitely not be in the garden here at this time, after all, even if he couldn't go out in person, he would have to make arrangements in the front hall!
Now the entire Xuanhuo City is beginning to be chaotic, not only are there already shouts of killing near the four city gates, but even in the city, there are also small-scale battles in many places, and they are all members of the Ninghua Gang who are quietly lurking. The main task of these members is to create chaos in the city, and at the same time, some of them will forcibly storm the City Lord's Mansion, giving Bing Han, Lian Die, and Qin Tiancheng the best chance to infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion and assassinate the City Lord.
Xuanhuo City was in such a mess, and the guards in the City Lord's Mansion were really sent out, and Bing Han and the others, who climbed over the wall from behind, did not encounter any obstacles.
In the huge garden, quietly, the three of them were still cautiously groping ahead.
The scale of the City Lord's Mansion is quite large, but fortunately, Youyue Invite Light has already prepared a detailed map for them. These are the results of the investigation in the past few days, and now they all come in handy. Otherwise, it would not be easy for the three of them to come and go freely in this city lord's mansion. What's more, this is an extraordinary time, and if you don't get trapped in the City Lord's Mansion, even if you love butterflies, you won't be able to bear it.
With the containment from the outside, the guards inside the City Lord's Mansion can be said to be almost few.
The three of them walked around from the back to the front very easily, but there was no one at the place where the city lord's residence was originally marked. It seems that after the war broke out in Xuanhuo City, the city lord also had to personally command, and the front hall was brightly lit, probably there. The three of them nodded to each other and quietly approached the antechamber.
Everything seemed to be going quite smoothly, and they didn't encounter any obstacles to get to the front hall.
Qin Tiancheng used his own tricks to kill the two guards guarding the back of the front hall silently, and the three of them leaned directly up. When they looked inside from the window, the three of them couldn't help but be stunned, because in this front hall, there was obviously no city lord, only a group of generals in Xuanhuo City were deliberating.
The city lord actually didn't sit here to command, which the three of them never expected.
However, in this way, it also made the three of them a little easier. After all, the strength of those generals in this front hall is not weak. If you really want to assassinate the city lord here, it is nothing more than that you don't need to face those guards outside, but it is still quite difficult to assassinate the city lord in front of these people. Since the city lord is not here, then there will be no more people to protect him, he just needs to find it, and he can easily get it.
"This is strange, Xuanhuo City is now embattled, and the chaos in the city is like a pot of porridge, where will this city lord go?" Qin Tiancheng frowned and asked.
Here, the three of them didn't dare to communicate directly, for fear of alarming the guards and generals in the City Lord's Mansion, so they all used their friend information to communicate directly. If you can't find the city lord, no matter how powerful the three of them are, they won't be able to complete this task at all, and it's useless to come in!
Lian Die looked behind her and said, "Could it be that this city lord knew that we were going to assassinate, and then he found a safe place and hid it so that we wouldn't find it?" This city lord's mansion is so big, if that's the case, it's hard for us to find him. In addition, we ran directly to his dwelling from behind, and then came directly to the front hall here, and we did not see this lord during this time. Maybe he's in another room! ”
Bing Han shook his head, "This city lord may not know that someone is coming to assassinate him, and besides, even if he knew, he shouldn't have just hid." You must know that a city lord is also the main general in this city, if he hides first in fear, then how can he lead other soldiers to die for him. If he knew that someone had assassinated him, he would have gathered more people to protect himself, but he would never have hidden it. ”
"However, since he won't hide, how can there be no one in his residence, and there is no city lord in the key command location here?"
Qin Tiancheng said to Bing Han: "Brother Bing Han, I think what Lian Die said may not be wrong. Although the castle lord may not be hidden, since he is not in these two places, we must look elsewhere. I'm afraid that this is more dangerous. In addition, there is not so much time, tonight, the task of the Ninghua Gang must be completed, if we can't find out the city lord and kill it, the Ninghua Gang and the other two gangs can only be desperate. At that time, no matter whether this Xuanhuo City can be captured or not, they will be greatly damaged. ”
After hearing Qin Tiancheng say this, Bing Han couldn't help frowning.
"Xuanhuo City is in chaos, all the generals are here to command the battle, and the city lord alone is not there. There shouldn't be any more guards in other places. In that case, let's just separate the three of us to search, at least we must first find out where the city lord is hiding. Butterfly said.
Separately looking for the city lord of Xuanhuo City, this is a very bold and dangerous plan.
You must know that since Jiaoyue Invite Light has sought the help of Bing Han to complete this task, it can be seen that the strength of the city lord is definitely not weak. Even if each of the three of them could assassinate the castle lord, if they did it alone, they would definitely not succeed in a short period of time. Once this place is discovered and besieged, then it will be difficult to get out. After all, the city lord also has arms, legs, and a mouth, and if he really can't beat the assassin if he is really assassinated, then he will definitely call for help.
"It's too dangerous to do that, and the mission is important, but we also have to keep ourselves safe."
Liandie said: "You shouldn't have to worry about this. We just don't know where the lord of the castle is, so we're going to split up and find out first. As long as you pay more attention, you shouldn't be discovered, but now the city is in chaos. When you find the city lord, you can stop doing it and notify the other two to come together! ”
Bing Han nodded, and it could only be arranged like this for now.
Fortunately, Jiaoyue invited Guang for fear of various situations, so she gave each of the three of them a map of the City Lord's Mansion, and even the guards in some of the City Lord's Mansions above were more detailed. With such a map, they can easily avoid heavily guarded locations.
With the skills of three people, with such a map to match, it is really not too difficult to find the city lord in the city lord's mansion, which has become a little empty. As long as they don't expose their bodies too much, I'm afraid no one will ever find out about them. I have to say that the preparations made by Jiaoyue Invite Guang are really sufficient, and she actually understands this city lord's mansion thoroughly. It is estimated that she has already tried to assassinate the city lord, but no one in the Ninghua Gang has been able to kill him, so she has to resort to Bing Han.
After Bing Han turned around two places, he couldn't help but secretly think: With the current level of detail of this map, there are no fewer people in the Ninghua Gang who have come here to check it. That being the case, there is no reason why the assassination attempt was not carried out, but it certainly did not succeed. In addition to the reason of strength, I am afraid that it has also alarmed the city lord here to prevent assassination. If that's the case, it's not easy to find, so it's reasonable. However, now that Xuanhuo City is obviously in danger, this city lord will not really look at it! So, where will he hide now?
Judging from the map, there are indeed several very well-defended places, in addition to the city lord's residence and front hall, these places are also the places that Bing Han, Lian Die, and Qin Tiancheng focus on checking.
Now, Bing Han had checked the location he had assigned, but he didn't find any sign of the city lord at all. In addition, there is no news from Liandie and Qin Tiancheng, and I am afraid that there will be no gains. With the ability of the two of them, they have probably already checked all these key points.
Without the presence of the city lord in these places, could it be that the city lord would still run to a place where there was no defensive force?
Theoretically, Icy Han doesn't think there is such a thing. The city lord knew that someone would assassinate him, and if he went to an undefended place, wouldn't it be tantamount to giving the assassin a chance. If there is such a good thing, it is estimated that the person who invited the light would have succeeded a long time ago, so how could he ask for help.
However, since the city lord was not found in other key locations, he could only go to other places to look for it.
The three of them walked around the City Lord's Mansion, and after more than two hours, they never found any news about the City Lord, nor did they find where the City Lord was.
At this time, the chaos in Xuanhuo City had begun to show signs of being quelled. The battle in the direction of the four gates also tended to be stable, and none of the gates were breached. This couldn't help but make Bing Han, Love Butterfly and Qin Tiancheng feel a very strong pressure. If the city lord can't be assassinated as soon as possible, then the defeat of the Ninghua Gang's attack this time will completely doom them to the failure of their mission. Next, it was Xuanhuo City's complete elimination of several of their gangs.
Bing Han looked at where he was now, and found that he was actually near a building that had no defense at all. And the indication given on the map shows that this is actually the area where the wives and concubines of the city lord of Xuanhuo City live, that is to say, all the women who live here are their dependents.
Seeing this, Bing Han immediately planned to leave and go to other places to find the city lord.
But when he turned around, he stopped, looked back at the building, and thought to himself: Could this be an empty city?
The city lord of Xuanhuo City certainly knew that someone would come to assassinate him, and in such a chaotic time, under normal circumstances, the city lord would command from the front. If not, then according to normal theory, it should also be in several important positions, and under strict defense. But if you think about it the other way around, knowing that the Assassins will choose these places to find him, will the city lord still go to those places?
If he thought those places were dangerous, the places where the Assassins went in the first place, then he would not have stayed there.
And on the contrary, those places that are not defended at all, like here now. The Assassin's idea was that there was no reason why the lord of the city would ignore these places if he didn't need protection. In this way, there is no way to find his existence.
If this world were to be a regular game mode, Bing Han wouldn't have thought about it so much.
However, the world of rivers and lakes is virtual reality, and even the NPC system characters in it are endowed with a certain amount of advanced intelligence, as well as a certain sense of autonomy. Otherwise, how could it be so fake that it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between a player and an NPC! Since this is the case, then Bing Han has to think like this, because this is also in response to the old saying, the more dangerous the place, the safer.
Anyway, no matter what the case may be, there is such a possibility.
Bing Han, who was about to leave, gently entered this building again, and he couldn't give up any corner, and he didn't have much time for them, since they were all here, it was better to check it out.
There are a lot of buildings in this area, and there are more than a dozen of them, and it takes time to find them one by one. Besides, don't look at the undefended people here, but if there is really too much movement, it will definitely alarm the wives and concubines of the city lord. When the time comes, it will be quite troublesome, so the cold is very careful as checking other places, for fear of alarming anyone.
When Bing Han came to one of the small courtyards, he heard a burst of noise coming from the room, as well as the voice of a woman.
Bing Han was first startled, and when he first heard the movement, he thought he had been discovered. Later, he realized that he was probably really right. After a long time, the city lord did not command the battle in front, but actually ran to the back and fooled around with his wives and concubines. So, he gently approached the window of the room, wanting to find out if it was the city lord first.
When he leaned over here, the voices in the room, as if they had passed a little*, stopped for a moment. However, at this time, the woman in the room spoke.
"Honey, you're getting bolder. It's not even the third watch, and you're coming to me, aren't you afraid that the adults will find out? When the time comes, be careful not to pick your skin! Hahaha! ”
Bing Han frowned, could it be that the person who worked with the city lord's wife and concubine was not the city lord?
