Chapter 221: Assassin of the Night
() Zhang Cheng: "Lu Darthead, I'm sorry for you." ”
Lu Yao: "What's the trouble here, Dao Elder wait a minute." ”
The dinner of the dart team is also very simple, after dinner, it is ready to go to bed.
At night in the forest, there is not much activity. It's better to go to bed early, and you'll have to go tomorrow.
Lu Darttou arranged for the night watchman, after all, there are still some powerful beasts in the forest.
Although this is an official road, and ordinary giant beasts don't come here, it's not a big mistake to be careful, isn't it?
Zhang Cheng took out the tent from the space bracelet: "Xiaolian, you sleep in the tent at night." ”
Xiaolian: "Dao Chief, I sleep in a tent, so what should you do?" ”
Zhang Cheng: "This ordinary weather change is no longer harmful to me. You are an ordinary person, and you can't stand this change. ”
Xiaolian: "Dao Chief, I don't. ”
Zhang Cheng: "Obedient, do you remember how you promised me?" ”
Xiaolian thought about what she promised Zhang Cheng: "Okay, Dao Chief, I'll listen to you." ”
After setting up the tent, Xiaolian went into the tent to sleep. Zhang Cheng sat quietly on the ground and began to cultivate.
At night in the forest, there is only a breeze, and there is no heat during the day, and the night allows the dart masters who have been exposed to the poison of the sun to have a good night's rest.
After Lu Yao lit the herbs to disperse mosquitoes, he fell asleep. After a day's journey, this person who is about 50 years old is also physically exhausted.
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the second half of the night.
At some point, there were no more birds or insects in the forest, and everything was quiet.
In the distance, two men dressed in black suddenly appeared, as if they were seeking death in the night.
The sleeping dart masters had no idea that their pursuers had arrived.
The two men in black, without any words, rushed directly to the night watchman's body, raised their hands to kill the two night watchmen in one blow.
However, the two men in black found that their daggers could not be pierced.
An invisible wall of qi blocked their daggers.
Zhang Cheng: "Two of you, why rush to kill." ”
The man in black glanced at each other and rushed directly towards Zhang Cheng, preparing to kill the person who had already woken up.
Zhang Cheng: "Are the two assassins, and they are the people behind them, the assassins who spent a lot of money to cultivate." In order to help him, to do something that he is not good to do on the surface. ”
The man in black did not stop and continued to attack Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng dodged the attack of the two, and then continued: "The identity behind you must be very high, otherwise he will not be able to raise an assassin like you." And combined with what he did, his identity was revealed. The Eight Great Princesses, I don't know who your master is? ”
Zhang Cheng has also thought a lot in the past few days, he can use the army, and the plan is so tight, knowing the escort of the disaster relief silver within the imperial court, the identity of this person behind the scenes can only be the king of the eight counties.
And the system has long said that in this Nine Continents Great World, the Shengwu Dynasty actually only controls three continents.
The other county kings have only one reason for doing this, and that is the throne.
For this throne, the people behind the scenes have done a lot of things, raising soldiers and horses, buying off courtiers, and snatching disaster relief money, in order to strengthen themselves.
Moreover, this county king also has his own intelligence system, which can be used for him to control the bureau.
If he is given enough time, he may indeed be able to ascend to the throne.
Even, Zhang Cheng has some suspicions that this drought was caused by the people behind the scenes.
But for the people behind the scenes, in the midst of this drought, what do they want?
What to take, Zhang Cheng still doesn't have enough information.
Just for the sake of the imperial court's disaster relief silver, it is impossible to expose so much power.
The property owned by the eight county kings has long exceeded this disaster relief silver.
chose to expose so many things at this time, and it was almost a confrontation against the imperial court on the surface. Just for a little disaster relief silver, it is completely unreasonable.
The man behind the scenes is not stupid, he will do this, he must be able to get more out of this drought.
And on the surface, he may have given up on the things exposed to the court.
Let these outcasts attract the attention of the imperial court, and he can do more.
Zhang Cheng opened his mouth tonight to see if he could learn something useful from the assassin's mouth. And even if he can't get it, Zhang Cheng won't lose.
The two assassins didn't say anything, but their moves were more aggressive, and they wanted to kill Zhang Cheng immediately.
The two assassins heard too much from Zhang Cheng's words.
The Taoist priest in front of him knows too many things that he shouldn't know, so he must die.
Zhang Cheng: "Since you don't open your mouth, there is no need for this battle to continue." The sword is uncertain. ”
Zhang Cheng used the strength of refining the gods to return to the void, and then the sword was uncertain. Two sword qi directly attacked the two assassins.
The two assassins knew that this sword qi could not be broken through at all with ordinary attacks, and they could only make a special move.
The dark blue light on the two assassins' bodies flickered, and then they clinged to their bodies, breaking through Zhang Cheng's sword qi in one fell swoop.
Zhang Cheng: "Is this the use of Yuan Li?" It's really peculiar. ”
The two assassins did not stop, and the dark blue Yuan Force, attached to the weapon, attacked Zhang Cheng again.
Zhang Cheng: "How strong is your Yuan Force, I'll try it." The ground sword is invisible. ”
The invisible earth sword, which carried the power of the earth, encountered two assassins who were rushing towards Zhang Cheng.
In an instant, the two assassins were blown away.
However, the Yuan Force that their bodies are attached to has blocked a lot of damage for them.
The two were not injured, and they jumped from the ground and attacked Zhang Cheng again.
Zhang Cheng: "Yuan Li is attached to the body, can it still reduce damage and shock?" Very interesting. ”
The sound of the fight woke up Lu Yao.
Lu Yao put on his shirt and ran out: "Dao Chief, what is this?" ”
Zhang Cheng: "The assassin who came to kill us, you step aside." ”
The two assassins also discovered Lu Yao, and one of the assassins directly attacked Lu Yao, facing Lu Yao's throat.
Zhang Cheng appeared in front of Lu Yao in the blink of an eye, and split the assassin's dagger with a sword.
Zhang Cheng's face was painful, the sword in his hand was a magic sword, and he was so hard to clash with other people's weapons, even if he won, it would be a loss.
The two Assassins knew that their mission would not be completed unless they dealt with Zhang Cheng first, and they attacked Zhang Cheng together.
Zhang Cheng: "In that case, let's try your strength." The Heavenly Sword is gone. ”
Zhang Chengtian's sword came out again, and the heavenly sword that disappeared without a trace came from the rear of the two assassins.
The two assassins realized that the Heavenly Sword had arrived when they were within half a meter of them.
At this time, they had no time to change, so they could only use the Yuan Force in their bodies to resist the Heavenly Sword.
No matter how powerful the Heavenly Sword is, the demon's body can't resist it, let alone the two assassins who hurriedly used the Yuan Force to resist the Heavenly Sword.
The Yuan Force of the two assassins was instantly pierced by the Heavenly Sword, and then their bodies were nailed to the big tree behind Zhang Cheng by the Heavenly Sword.
Lu Yao: "Dao Chief, is it over?" ”
Zhang Cheng: "It's over, you go back to sleep, I'll ask something." ”
Lu Yao knew that he couldn't participate in this kind of thing: "Okay, Dao Chief, you can handle it." ”
Next, Lu Yao calmed the people who were awakened, arranged a vigil again, and then fell asleep.
Here, Zhang Cheng walked up to the two Assassins and tore off their masks.
Both Assassins appeared to be in their mid-30s, but their skin was very white, the kind of pale that they had been without sunlight for many years.
Zhang Cheng: "Who are you?" ”
Then, after Zhang Cheng finished asking this sentence, the two assassins bled to death.
Zhang Cheng: "Forget it, you people all have the means to commit suicide with one hand. Isn't it good to be alive. ”
Zhang Cheng touched the bodies of the two and touched two tokens.
The front of the token is engraved with two words, and the back is different numbers, one is 21 and the other is 27.
Zhang Cheng: "The world, what is this?" The number, could it be the number to which the two of them belong? ”
On these two people, except for two tokens, there is only a little silver, and other than that, there is nothing else.
Zhang Cheng: "He is worthy of being an assassin, and he is embarrassed by the lack of things on his body." ”
Xunmu: "Lord, now, are we really in this turmoil?" What is our purpose? ”
Zhang Cheng: "Our purpose, the premise of finding the human emperor remains the same, but also to find the disaster relief silver, after all, there are so many people in Nanzhou, these are used to save lives." ”
Xunmu: "So the master, you want to follow the dart bureau to Nanzhou City, find the person who connects, and then follow the vine to touch the melon, right?" ”
Zhang Cheng: "Those who know me, look for my sister." It's an old monster, and you'll understand what I think. ”
Xunmu: "Of course, if I can't understand your thoughts, what qualifications do I have to let you be called sister." ”
Zhang Cheng: "That's right, my sister is the best." ”
Xunmu: "Lord, I have lived for a long time and have a lot of experience. Anyway, you, such a young one, how can you live like me, an old monster, so many thoughts. ”
Zhang Cheng: "I don't know, maybe, I'm naturally smart." ”
Next, Zhang Cheng used his mana to bury the two assassins and their weapon systems.
Zhang Cheng: "Dust to dust, soil to earth, may you not be a killer in the next life." ”
Somewhere in a room you don't know.
A man shrouded in darkness handed a small note to the person who was seated.
The person sitting opened the small note: "Wei Changfeng is out of the mountain, Taifu is really our henchman." ”
The man in black: "Lord, why don't we do it and kill the Taifu." ”
The person who was sitting: "No, Taifu can't die now, and the court still relies on him to preside over the overall situation." As soon as he dies, the prime minister will be in power. The prime minister is not an easy person to deal with. ”
Man in Black: "Lord, in addition, the Thousand-Faced Evil Merchant has been sacrificed, and the beacon has found him." ”
The man seated: "The beacon has been moving too much lately, and it needs to be cleaned up." It's a pity that the masters of the world are still entangled with the people and horses of the Holy Capital, and they can't spare their hands. Have been patient lately, and do not take the lead. ”
Man in Black: "Yes." ”
The man who was seated: "By the way, have the men who went to investigate the No. 15 dart game come back?" ”
Man in Black: "Not yet, but it's probably only been a few days." ”
The person who was sitting: "Your people are still too careless, the phoenix double flying jade pendant is a tribute, how can you take it out." Once it falls into the hands of someone who knows the goods, he can immediately guess my identity, and the jade pendant must be recovered. ”
