Chapter 109: Arrival
After dealing with the remnants of the assassins, Zhang Ze said to the soldiers, "Let's go into the city." ”
Ling Hao and the others quietly followed Zhang Ze's team at the end and entered the inner city.
After entering the inner city, Ling Hao found that Zhang Ze was standing in the corner of the wall at this time, and there were two people standing in front of him.
One is a middle-aged man holding a big knife, the blood on the knife has not dried, and the muscles on his body are as hard and protruding as rocks.
The other is an old man with a walking stick, long white hair, a gray beard, and a wrinkled face, who feels like half of his body is about to sink into the ground.
The three of them were really discussing something, and Ling Hao slowly approached, but he didn't dare to get too close.
Stopped fifteen meters away from the three of them. With a keen ear, he was able to listen to the conversation of the three of them.
"What were you doing just now, why didn't you come for reinforcements earlier?" The muscular man was none other than Lu Feng, the deputy leader of the Black Tiger Gang. At this time, he was visibly wounded, and the skin on his left hand was black and purple, apparently suffering from frostbite.
"I'll have to check the rest of the team in the outer city before I can rush in for reinforcements. What are you anxious about? Zhang Ze said to Lu Feng.
"Hmph, don't make excuses there, don't think I don't know, it's just that you deliberately released the news, saying that the big brother is about to break through, which has attracted the rivers and lakes to come to my Black Tiger Gang in the past few days, and I want to find some sweetness. Do you know that labor and management almost died at the hands of a female doll with an ice crystal sword just now? Deputy gang leader Lu Feng yelled at Zhang Ze.
"You don't step on the horse and spew blood there, maybe who released those news, I can see it a long time ago, who doesn't know your little bit of caution, you want to be the helper, thinking that the helper is dead, and no one is competing with you for a seat." Zhang Zeke is a scholar, although he has no cultivation at all, but he has sharp teeth and has never lost.
"Fuck you, I think you're just a dog who can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and labor and management will kill you with a knife." Lu Feng looked down on this ordinary person who was on an equal footing with him.
After speaking, he was about to make a move and slashed Zhang Ze to death with a knife, but the archer behind Zhang Ze opened his bow and pulled his arrows, aiming directly at Lu Feng. Obviously saying that if you dare to use the military division, yours will also be shot into a hedgehog by us.
The atmosphere between the two was tense, and if they didn't agree with each other, they were about to start a war, and the old man who had been silent next to him suddenly smacked the ground with a crutch.
The sound of "dang" immediately stopped the actions of the two.
He said slowly: "What are you doing here, the helper has only been in retreat for a few days, and the two of you are going to kill each other, what will you do if the helper comes out?" ”
As soon as he spoke, the two looked at him deeply, and they stopped arguing.
This made Ling Hao very surprised, why should the two of them be afraid of such an old man?
"I think the current plan is to find out the remaining assassins first, and then strictly investigate the rumors of who leaked, especially the female doll with the Ice Crystal Sword, we must find it as soon as possible, and find out her relationship with the Heavenly Sword Sect, so that we can not be afraid of it, you know?"
"Yes, Zhang Ze is ordered! This leads people to check. After listening to the old man's words, Zhang Zetou took people away without looking back.
Zhang chose to leave, and Ling Hao couldn't continue to stay, so he could only leave.
At this time, only the old man and Lu Feng were left, and Lu Feng asked: "This person harbors evil intentions, why don't you let me kill him with a knife." ”
The old man said: "He does have some talents, and when this level is passed, you can dispose of it." The key now is not to break the plan, to figure out first, what does the ice crystal sword mean? ”
"That doll is really powerful, the strength is unfathomable, I almost planted it in her hands." Lu Feng said.
"Got it, you go back to recuperate!"
After he had gone, the old man with his cane looked up at the sky and muttered, "You guys, one or two of them harbor evil intentions, and the distance is getting sooner." When the time comes, it's time for a good reckoning. ”
And Ling Hao, on his side, was following Zhang Ze in the city to collect Su Qinxin's traces, and he was thinking about the useful information he had just heard along the way.
First, the woman holding the ice crystal sword was not dead, looking at Lu Feng's appearance of being injured by the sword qi, she should have broken into the inner city and hidden.
The second is that the military advisor seems to be at odds with the deputy gang leader, but he is puzzled by who the old man is, and why the deputy gang leader and the military advisor respect him.
The third is that the robbery of the leader of the Black Tiger Gang has been spread from within, and at the same time, many people in the rivers and lakes who are greedy for money have come to seek profits.
Ling Hao walked around the inner city a few times, and found that the houses and buildings here were all exactly the same, and the arrangement seemed to be built according to a certain formation, if he was not careful, he would definitely get lost in it.
After walking for a while, Ling Hao suddenly found a different kind of house, it was thirty meters high, and it was like a palace, overlooking the inner city, and the leader of the Black Tiger Gang was in the city.
As soon as Zhang Xing'er arrived in the inner city, she said to Ling Hao, "I'm going to find my sister." ”
Ling Hao followed her to search, and the two quietly broke away from the team and searched for traces of her sister in the city.
Zhang Xing'er seemed to know some secret techniques, and soon searched the small houses in the entire inner city. But she still couldn't find her sister. After a while, the two of them arrived in front of the palace.
Only this place has not been checked.
In front of the palace are forty-five steps, which are nine or five in number. The steps are not a few times wide, like the palace where the emperor lived, and on each step stood two guards, the guards held spears and stood still.
Ling Hao motioned for Zhang Xing'er to wait in place, while he walked towards the palace while he was still wearing the clothes of the Black Tiger Sword Soldier, but he didn't expect to be stopped by the guards as soon as he approached the steps.
"Stop, who are you? What are you doing here? The two gunmen in the first quarter stopped in front of Ling Hao with guns and said.
"Hehe, Brother Guard, I just joined the gang, and when I saw this majestic palace today, I was fascinated for a while, and I wanted to come in and watch it. I wonder what kind of abode is in such a magnificent place? Ling Hao said with a smile on his face.
"This is the retreat of my family's helper, ordinary people can't wait to approach, where do you go back?" One of them explained.
"Really, it's more beautiful than the emperor's residence, and our helper is really good." In order not to arouse suspicion, Ling Hao walked back in admiration. Ling Hao found that the guards here all had the strength of the ninth order of the Spirit Weapon Realm.
Back in the corner, he met with Zhang Xing'er and said, "I heard it, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang is here." ”
Zhang Xing'er said eagerly: "Yes, then we will kill it and take the life of this thief to save my sister!" ”
She looked at the palace in the distance and walked straight forward, eager to kill the Sky Eater immediately. But he was stopped by Ling Hao and said, "What are you panicking about, now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, you can't act rashly, and I always feel that something is wrong." ”
"Then you're still making me wait? More than 100 lives in my whole village died in vain at the hands of this thief, and he also kidnapped my sister, I can't wait for a moment for such a blood feud. ”
"What are you panicking about, revenge can't be rushed at this moment, you rush in like this, it's likely to be in vain." Ling Hao clasped his hands on her shoulders and said.
"And when do you want me to wait?"
Ling Hao looked at the dark palace and said, "The people who should come should be waiting for them should be about to start. ”
Before he could finish speaking, a stone ball suddenly rose from the steps of the main hall, and the guards immediately noticed the abnormality and surrounded the stone ball.
"Who's in there?" The Captain of the Guard asked.
With a "bang", the stone ball suddenly exploded, and the gravel hit the gunman like a cannonball, and the gunman was immediately knocked to the ground. Some of the spearmen had their ribs broken and were lying on the ground, with no air coming out.
The stone ball shattered, and the steel teeth carrying the mace slowly walked out
