This time, I finally made a different discovery.

Although the other party's technique was quite ingenious, Gu Ming's discernment was upgraded to another level, and after all, he still sensed a trace of déjà vu in the three of them......

At that moment, Gu Ming's eyes couldn't help revealing a hint of murderous intent.

"Did you find it?"

Di Renjie noticed that Gu Ming's expression was a little strange, and couldn't help but ask.

"Okay, let's go back and talk about it, and gather everyone to return to Beijing."

"Master Gu, let's not check?"

"There's nothing to check here, Yun Hongzhi and the three of them are just substitutes for the dead ghosts, and this case has nothing to do with Liudaomen."

Liudaomen experienced a false alarm, and since then it has converged a lot.

Because Gu Ming made such a move, they finally realized that the imperial court was really not easy to mess with, and they didn't know how many masters were hidden.

After returning to the capital, Gu Ming immediately went to the Shence Mansion and found Wu Chengshan, the commander of the Shence Mansion.

"Master Gu, didn't you catch it?"

"No, they're all dead."

Wu Chengshan was taken aback: "Dead? This...... That's too much of a coincidence, right? Could it be that there is a real murderer behind the scenes? ”

"Lord Wu, this case is not so simple, those three people are just substitutes carefully selected by the other party to confuse us, and the real murderer is someone else."

"Master Gu has any clues?"

"The cause of death of Yun Hongzhi and the three of them is that the meridians are broken, and Liudaomen believes that it is from the menopausal veins, and the reason is unknown.

However, after careful investigation by this official, the real cause of death of the three was a spell originating from the Western Regions......"

"The Western Regions? It's this gang of crumbs of Dog X again? ”

Wu Chengshan couldn't help but scold angrily.

"To be precise, it was the people of the Holy Fire Sect who did it. It's a clever spell, like a time bomb......"

Wu Chengshan looked confused: "Time bomb? ”

"Ahem, in short, it's a very ingenious technique, casting a spell on the three people in advance, and when the time comes, the spell will start, forming an illusion of self-menopause."

"I see...... Is the other party doing this to completely cut off the clues and make it impossible for us to investigate? ”

"Yes, in such a big case, we always have to report to the top, the clues are broken, even if we have suspicions, we can only report the three people as murderers.

It's a pity that the other party still left some traces of spiders and worms.

General Wu, now you need to mobilize all your forces and search for the three killers with all your might......"

Gu Ming described in detail his inferences about the physical characteristics of the three killers, including details of one of the left-handers.

"General Wu, this matter must be searched with more effort and efforts, but it must not be carried out in a big way, it must be done secretly, whether it is dead or alive, the identity of the other party must be ascertained."

"Well, Lord Gu rest assured! But Master Gu, what do you think is the other party's ultimate purpose? ”

"There are several possibilities for this, first, our investigation for more than half a year has dealt a serious blow to the Holy Fire Sect's forces in the Great Yan Dynasty, which is an act of revenge by them.

Second, as the commander of the western border pass, General Feng's position is very important. If something happens to him, or if he leaves the border, maybe the other party will take advantage of the situation......"

Hearing this, Wu Chengshan's face couldn't help but change: "It's completely possible, then this matter has to be reported to the emperor quickly." ”

"Well, I'll report to the emperor in a moment. General Wu, please hurry up and search for the killer's matter. If nothing else, it is likely that these three killers have been controlled by the Holy Fire Cult.

There is even a possibility that the Holy Fire Sect secretly formed a killer organization in the Great Yan Dynasty. ”

Wu Chengshan's face turned pale, and he said murderously: "If this is the case, no matter what kind of price is paid, General Ben will also uproot it!" ”

"Well, General Lao Wu has bothered about this matter, and this official will leave first."

Not long after, Gu Ming came to the palace and found Emperor Yongping to tell the results of the case in detail.

Upon hearing the result, Emperor Yongping was naturally furious.

"Your Majesty, in addition to retaliation, it may also be a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Although the Holy Fire Cult has always been hidden in the shadows, they must also have an inextricable relationship with the countries of the Western Regions.

According to the minister's speculation, they plotted a rebellion between Prince Qing and Ni Chenggui last time, but it didn't succeed, so they need a remedy to save their reputation.

Of course, it could also be their second plan.

Either way, in the final analysis, they just want to create chaos for my Great Yan Dynasty.

If nothing else, there must still be a traitor at the border pass, and as soon as General Feng leaves, the other party will have a chance to make trouble......"

"What Aiqing said is reasonable, so it seems that it is necessary to send a few generals to the western border to assist in guarding the town."

"Your Majesty, this is not necessary. In fact, this is also a rare opportunity for us to screen......"

Saying this, Emperor Yongping was suddenly stunned.

However, he was still a little worried: "But Aiqing, it's a bit risky to do this." If the other party joins forces with the people of the Western Regions to rebel, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan......

"Oh? Aiqing will listen to it. ”

"At present, there are already a number of special operations units that can come in handy. We can pick out a group of elites who sneak into the Western Regions without knowing it......

At that time, it can be divided into several batches.

One of them went deep behind enemy lines and stabbed the enemy in the back, such as assassinating enemy generals, cutting off the enemy's military supplies, and so on.

In addition, two or three groups of men were assigned to infiltrate while the enemy's defense was empty, burning their granaries, cattle and sheep, and assassinating important people of the other side......

The other party never imagined that we would do this, and if we did it simultaneously, it would inevitably do miraculous feats and plunge several neighboring countries in the Western Regions into turmoil......

Once the news spreads, it will spread throughout the Western Regions, creating a chaotic situation in which everyone is in danger.

At that time, the Holy Fire Cult may not be able to sit still. Once the situation in the Western Regions is out of their control, in order to salvage their reputation and regain control of the situation, they will inevitably fight back with all their might.

As soon as they fight back, they can't hide......"

This is a typical scareless snake.

After all, the enemy who hides in the shadows is the most terrifying, and once it appears, the threat is greatly reduced.

Emperor Yongping's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking: "Then with Aiqing's meaning, how many people do you need to send for this plan?" ”

"Not much, three hundred people are enough!"

Gu Ming smiled and gestured out three fingers.

Emperor Yongping thought that he had misheard, and asked with wide eyes: "Three hundred?" Or three thousand? ”

"Your Majesty, this is a special operations plan, it can't be measured by conventional warfare, there can't be many people, three hundred elites are enough to complete this series of tasks......"

Next, Gu Ming roughly talked about the battle plan, and listened to Emperor Yongping nodding again and again.

Obviously, he was very satisfied with Gu Ming's plan.

Finally, Gu Ming said another thing: "Your Majesty, the minister also has an anti-infiltration plan, but it needs a working fund. ”

"Reverse osmosis?"

"Yes, since the Holy Fire Cult keeps sending people to infiltrate, then we can also secretly train spies to be sent to the Western Regions to carry out counter-infiltration.

The minister roughly calculated that it might cost 100,000 taels of silver a year.

However, once the information continues to come back, its value is far more than 100,000 taels. ”

"A mere 100,000 taels is nothing, it's just that these spies will be counter-controlled by the Holy Fire Sect when they arrive in the Western Regions?"

"This is unlikely, the minister has his own countermeasures......"

"Okay, I believe Aiqing, you should hurry up and do these things."

"Yes!"

……

After going back, Gu Ming summoned Snake Ji, Bai Suzhen, and Xiaoqing.

"This time, we will launch a secret operation against several Western Regions countries near the border, and the three of you will secretly assist."

Upon hearing this, Snake Ji was surprised: "Master, do you want us to deal with their army?" ”

"How is that possible? This is something that goes against the way of heaven, and if cultivators were to directly participate in wars between countries, the world would have been in chaos long ago......

This is an unspoken rule, and it is also a rule of heaven.

For example, the Holy Fire Cult, even if it is ambitious, only dares to hide in the shadows and plan, but does not dare to directly send people to participate in the war.

Otherwise, how would they have survived until now? It's long gone.

"Don't show your face after you pass, and keep an eye out for any strangers from the Western Regions interfering. Once discovered, it is directly erased. ”

"Great, finally ready to fight!"

Xiaoqing cheered heartlessly.

"Xiaoqing......" Bai Suzhen couldn't help frowning and glancing over.

Gu Ming also said with a solemn face: "Xiaoqing, don't shout and kill at every turn, you must focus on cultivating your mind." ”

"Hmph, but didn't you just say something to erase it?"

"Dead girl, why are you obedient and only listen to the second half of the sentence? What I'm saying is that unless there are strangers from the Western Regions intervening, you must not make a move, and do not let people discover your existence.

I'm not trying to scare you, but if you get excited and make a random move, interfering with the normal war between the two countries, this will be a big taboo, and you won't be able to make a five-thunder bang......"

Sure enough, as soon as he heard the word five thunders, Xiaoqing was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, what the son says, people will do it." ”

After all, she was "sent" by a heavenly thunder in the first place, and if it weren't for the snake queen sensing her breath, it would be a question of whether she was still alive now.

"Good!"

Gu Ming nodded with satisfaction.

Then he said: "In short, the three of you must remember after you pass, first, pay attention to concealing your whereabouts and not letting people find out, including the personnel of the special combat team."

The second is to pay close attention to whether any Inhumans from the Western Regions appear to interfere with the operations of the special combat team, or leak their whereabouts.

Once such a situation is detected, it can be taken immediately...... But you also have to be careful, there are also masters in the Western Regions, and you can't take it lightly.

Third, if it is determined that the other party is a member of the Holy Fire Sect, try to get some insider information out of their mouths......"

That night, Gu Ming went to a special operations camp and carefully selected three hundred elites, and divided these three hundred people into several small teams to arrange tasks respectively......

According to the plan, they will bypass the border checkpoint and secretly infiltrate the Western Regions.

That is, even the garrison general did not know about this operation. In this way, leaks can be prevented to the greatest extent.

……

Three days later.

Gu Ming came to the Shence Mansion again.

"General Wu, there is news so soon?"

"Yes, this time, our Shence Mansion can be said to have done its best, using all means, including some Jianghu sects also helped, and finally found the clues of the three murderers.

All three belong to a lesser-known killer organization...... We don't have much information about this organization, but we only know that there is a stronghold in Linqing Mansion, which is a dart game.

At the moment we are not alarming them, but secretly monitoring them.

As for the three killers...... It is possible that he has been wiped out, or he has absconded in the Western Regions, and the specific information is still under investigation. ”

Gu Ming couldn't help frowning and said, "It seems that this killer organization has been controlled by the Holy Fire Sect...... Without further ado, the official has to go to Linqing Mansion in person. ”

"Okay, then I'll send a message right away and let the brothers over there fully cooperate."

……

Linqing Mansion.

Four-way dart game.

Gu Ming was dressed in a gorgeous costume, cranked a folding fan, and walked in with two entourages.

The guy warmly beckoned the three of them to sit down, and asked Gu Ming, "This son wants to hold a dart?" ”

"That's right!"

"Dare to ask what Childe is entrusting? Where are you going to ship to? ”

"I have a batch of rare antiques that need to be consigned to the capital, you go and ask your master to come and talk to my son."

Hearing this, the guy couldn't help asking: "The villain took the liberty to ask again, how much silver is the valuation of Childe's goods?" ”

"At least 100,000 taels or more."

Hearing that the amount was huge, the guy didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Son, please wait, the small one will go and notify the big boss." ”

After a while, a man in a short shirt walked out with a haha, accompanied by a guy.

"In Xia Changwei, I don't know the name of the son."

"My son-in-law's surname is Yan!"

One of the attendants replied.

"It turned out to be Yan Gongzi, who has been looking up for a long time......"

Look up to the egg for a long time!

"Big boss, I wonder if I can find a place to talk alone?"

"No problem, no problem, Yan Gongzi, please!"

Chang Wei raised his hand and made an inviting gesture.

The two went to a small hall in the backyard together to talk about business.

"Yan Gongzi, I take the liberty to ask the last sentence, I don't know the order you trusted...... Is it the right way to come? ”

"What? Do you want to inquire about this kind of thing? ”

"Young Master Yan, please understand, I don't want to inquire, but for such a big order, the contempt is also risky, this is ......"

Without waiting for Chang Wei to finish speaking, Gu Ming couldn't help but smile and said, "Otherwise, let's change a business." ”

"Change? What does Yan Gongzi mean? ”

"Since the big boss is afraid of taking risks, then this dart will not be supported for the time being. However, this son has another big order, I don't know if the big boss is interested? ”

Chang Wei frowned: "I don't know what Young Master Yan means?" ”

"Mingren doesn't say secret words, what are you doing in secret, my son has already heard about it.

It just so happens that a few people have offended my son recently, so I want to ask you to help, and the price is negotiable. ”

"Yan Gongzi, this joke can't be messed around, our Sitong Dart Bureau is doing legitimate business, if Yan Gongzi wants to find a killer, please ask another master."

"Really? Is there a mistake in the news of this child? ”

"I don't know where Gongzi heard the news, these are all rumors."

"Okay, then it's okay for Ben Gongzi to ask for another news, right? As long as the big boss answers truthfully, this son is willing to pay a reward of 10,000 taels of silver. ”

"Ten thousand taels?" Chang Wei was taken aback.

10,000 taels of silver to inquire about a message?

"Childe, what exactly do you want to inquire about?"

Chang Wei couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"It's easy for you, you just need to tell me about your group headquarters."

As soon as he heard this, Chang Wei's face couldn't help but change greatly, and he slapped the case angrily: "Young Master Yan, what do you mean?" Do you want to go to the door and smash the field? ”

"What is a smashing field? This son does not run a dart game. ”

"I'm sorry, if Yan Gongzi doesn't hold the dart, then please go back, I don't have time to accompany you!"

After speaking, Chang Wei turned around angrily and left.

Unexpectedly, when he walked to the door, he was bounced backwards like hitting a wall.

At this time, Chang Wei finally woke up: he really encountered a smashing field.

"Someone, someone!"

Chang Wei roared as he pulled out his posture and glared at Gu Ming.

"Save your energy, you can't hear it outside."

Gu Ming drank tea leisurely.

"You...... Where the hell did you come from? ”

Chang Wei wanted to do it desperately, but the unprovoked "hitting the wall" just now had already made him realize that it was not easy to come, so he could only test it first.

"This official is Dali Siqing!"

"What? You...... Are you Gu Ming? ”

It's really the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, as soon as Gu Ming signed up, Chang Wei was immediately shocked.

Although Gu Ming is not in the rivers and lakes, there is no shortage of his legends in the rivers and lakes.

"What? Do you still want to find out? ”

"You dog officer, Lao Tzu fought with you!"

Chang Wei shouted murderously, and then ......

A leap to break open the roof and escape.

"Bang~"

As a result, he hit the "wall" again, was dizzy by the bullet, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Don't struggle in vain, let's say, where did the three killers go."

"Lao Tzu...... Don't know what you're talking about. ”

Chang Wei struggled to stand up, with a stiff look like a dead duck.

"Toast and don't eat and drink!"

Gu Ming raised his hand and flicked it three times in a row.

"Plop~"

Chang Wei fell to the ground, the green tendons on his forehead squirmed violently like a small snake, his face was purple, his eyes slowly protruded, and he looked strangely painful.

It's just that I can't move if I want to, and I can't shout if I want to.

Gu Ming's technique is much more difficult than the tendons and bones that are rumored in the rivers and lakes, but it will definitely not die of pain or faint.

It felt like being sent to hell, thrown into a pan of oil and fried, and scraped with a knife......

Actually, this is not Gu Ming's style, he has always liked to "convince people with reason".

It's just that this time he really hated the Holy Fire Sect, so he intended to make Chang Wei suffer a little and then talk about it.

After tossing for a while, he raised his hand to disarm the means.

At this time, Chang Wei almost had half a life left, but this guy was obviously brainwashed by the Holy Fire Sect and still refused to say anything.

Of course, this is not a matter at all for Gu Ming......

It didn't take much effort for Chang Wei to obediently begin to answer questions.

It's a pity that this guy really doesn't know the whereabouts of the three killers, it seems that this is a top-secret matter, and few people even know about it within the organization.

Fortunately, Gu Ming finally knew where the other party's nest was.

Then there is nothing to say: uproot!

In order to prevent the news from leaking, and in order to avoid startling the snake, the Sitong Dart Bureau was secretly controlled by the people of the Shence Mansion, and Gu Ming took a few other people to hurry up and rush to the other party's lair.

……

More than 300 miles away from Linqing Mansion, there is a small market town.

This place is not far from the border, about 50 miles. As a result, it is common for some of the Turks to come and trade goods.

The Turkic tribe is a nomadic tribe with no special products, mainly beef, mutton, sheepskins and the like.

There are many things they want to change, especially medicinal herbs and cloths.

There is a large courtyard on the edge of the town, and the owner's name is Huang Sen, who is full of pockmarked faces, and is a well-known local man with hands and eyes.

Whether it is a Turk or a merchant of the Great Yan Dynasty, if you want to do business in the town, you must go to worship a mountain, otherwise you will not be able to stand on a foothold at all.

Because, Huang Sen has a very good relationship with the generals guarding the customs, and most of the goods in and out of the customs will be seized if Huang Sen does not greet them.

At sunset, the backyard of the Huangfu is staggered, singing and laughing.

Huang Sen accompanied a few of his subordinates to drink heartily, while several women from the Tutu tribe twisted their waists and hips in the courtyard and danced the Tutu dance.

"Old man......" was drinking, and a subordinate hurriedly came over to report: "A son surnamed Yan outside wants to see you." ”

"Bastard, didn't you see the master drinking? Missing! ”

"Yes, the little ......"

"Master Huang is so majestic!"

At this time, a loud voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard, and then Gu Ming's figure appeared out of thin air.

Seeing this, Huang Sen couldn't help but be shocked, stood up abruptly and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" Why trespassing? ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I have a big business to talk to Master Huang alone."

"Presumptuous, don't pretend to be a ghost here, get out!"

A man who looked like a family member scolded and rushed in front of Gu Ming and kicked him over.

"Click~"

"Ah......h

In the courtyard, there was a sudden scream like killing a pig.

No one could see how Gu Ming moved, including Huang Sen. However, his men had already fallen to the ground and were rolling in pain, one leg was visibly broken, and the blood kept seeping out, staining a large area of the courtyard red.

"This official is Dali Siqing, who came to handle the case by order, whoever dares to act recklessly will be killed on the spot!"

Gu Ming lazily pretended to deal with the other party again, and directly showed the token.

As soon as the words fell, there was chaos in the courtyard...... Especially the women of the Tutu tribe were even more frightened and screaming, and their faces were discolored.

At this time, two more people rushed in from outside, although they were dressed in people's clothes, but the sword in their hands was different, but anyone with a little common sense knew that it was the exclusive weapon of the Shence Mansion.

"It turns out that you are the rumored Gu Ming in the rivers and lakes. It's just that Master Gu has some misunderstanding? Huang is a serious businessman. ”

Gu Ming sneered: "If you are a serious businessman, there will be no businessman in the sky."

Those who know each other are still obediently tied up, so as not to ask for hardship. ”

Huang Sen squinted his eyes, and said with a disapproving look: "As the saying goes, catch a traitor and take a double, catch a thief and take a stolen product, Master Gu said that Huang is not a serious businessman, but there is evidence?" ”

"Hehe, do you still need evidence to arrest you? You're thinking too highly of yourself. ”

"Hahaha, it seems that Master Gu is prepared. Unfortunately, you're too confident, and since you can find this place, it means you know what this place is.

Huang can only send you four words: self-casting! ”

As soon as the words fell, wisps of pale black smoke suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

Huang Sen and the others disappeared in an instant, but several subordinates in the courtyard, including the women of the Tutu tribe, fell to the ground in pain, obviously poisoned.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Then, a dense sound of breaking the air sounded in the courtyard.

Countless tiny short arrows and steel needles shrouded Gu Ming and the others like snowflakes in the sky......
