Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Thief Fears

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Wenwen shouted outside the door: "Uncle!

"What?" Ying Yanshu was stunned for a moment, "Let him in!"

After a while, Ming Lin pushed open the door and said hello with a smile after seeing Ying Yanshu. The person stood in front of the door, did not enter, silently pushed half a step away with his right foot, leaned forward slightly, and secretly swept the two sides behind the door, and only walked in with a smile after confirming that there was no one.

"Why doesn't Ming Lao trust me?" Ying Yanshu smiled bitterly when he saw Ming Lonely's actions.

"It's not that I don't trust you, I'm my enemy who believes too much. Remember, never underestimate the strength and intelligence of your enemies. Naruto found a chair in the room and sat down after making sure it was safe, "I don't know how many people are worried about my head, but I can live until now because I have an extra eye." Don't worry, it's habit. โ€

"You're amazing. What are you looking for me to do?"

"Do you have any tasks at hand?"

"This month's mission information has just been sent out, and I'm still reading it. โ€

"Don't look at it, I'll give you a task. โ€

"What about the free choice of the mission that you said you were going to do?"

"That's why I'm here to ask for your opinion. Ming Shi held his forehead helplessly, "The employer's side can't bear it anymore, and I can't let the task hang like this." โ€

"The hanging task is sent out according to the old rules, why are you looking for me?"

According to the old rules of counter-current, tasks are sent by geography. A large empire like Xiling would be divided into several mission areas, and Langchun City was located in the southeastern part of the empire, and all the missions received were in the southeastern part of the empire. If no one takes the task, the organization analyzes the task and negotiates with the employer to increase the pay for the task, or sends the task to a further mission area.

"The pay couldn't be higher. As for the mission area, this was originally a mission in the middle of the empire, but now it has been sent to the Western Regions, and no one has picked it up. "It can be seen that this task is a headache for Naruto.

"What mission? Do you remember my request?"

"Of course, you said you don't kill. Rest assured, this task is only for money, not for life. Ming Shi smiled bitterly, "Do you remember the Huashi Jade Pagoda?"

"The task of half a year ago, no one has taken it yet!" Ying Yanshu didn't expect.

"Do you know how high the pay for this quest is now?"

"How much?" Ying Yanshu's heart jumped.

"Twenty thousand gold coins. โ€

"Twenty thousand!" Ying Yanshu jumped up directly from the chair, turned his head and glared at Ming Shi, "You tell me honestly, what is the origin of this Huashi Jade Pagoda?"

"If you don't answer, how can I tell you the truth?"

"Sure enough, there was a problem. Okay, I'll take it. โ€

"Really. โ€

"Am I joking?"

"Like. Naruto grinned.

"Fuck off! "Ying Yanshu has figured out this perverse old man this year.

"Hehehe, get down to business. Have you ever heard of the Eleven Bone Spirit Tower?"

Hearing this, Ying Yanshu gasped.

Huangzhou is located in the east of the ancient kingdom of Jingchuan and northern Xinjiang, the north of the Xiling Empire, and was originally a subsidiary kingdom of the ancient kingdom of Jingchuan - the kingdom of Yuhuang. Later, there was a split within the Imperial Waste, the royal family collapsed, and Yasukawa tried to maintain the endgame, but failed. The kingdom was divided into more than forty city-states, which fought against each other, and finally eight major powers remained. They are of equal strength, and they are all badly damaged. So the leaders of the eight parties met with the Emperor Jingchuan together, and swore a common oath that whoever brought the token that Jingchuan handed over to the imperial wilderness would be able to reunify the Huangzhou and become the next king of the imperial wilderness.

And the token of the kingdom is the Eleven Bone Spirit Pagoda.

"The mission of the barren state, why should it be sent to the middle of the empire. โ€

"Because the things are going to be stolen in the palace of Yisang, of course, they are released in the middle of the empire nearby. But it doesn't matter now, the task has been sent all over the world, and if it is sent again, it will be sent to the cliff of judgment. โ€

"It's not that no, that strange doctor will definitely dare to take it, I'm afraid that 20,000 gold coins won't please move him, hahaha. โ€

"Hmph, I wonder if he will poison the entire people of the Wasteland. โ€

"However, why is this thing in the secret vault of the Yisang Palace?"

"The Eleven Bone Spirit Pagoda was lost when the Royal Wilderness Royal Family collapsed, and it was originally found by one of the Eight Directions forces. They wanted to go to Shaoyang to meet them, and they were afraid that the other seven forces would intercept them halfway, so they disguised the Eleven Bone Spirit Pagoda and secretly transferred it to Shaoyang from the territory of Xiling as an ordinary commodity. The Eleven Bone Spirit Pagoda is made of the bones of the Dark-scaled Dragon, the material is similar to Huashi Jade, and it is also known as Huashi Jade Pagoda to the outside world, and outsiders who don't know it can't tell it at all. Unexpectedly, the caravan was robbed in the Xiling Empire, and the Huashi Jade Pagoda flowed into the black market. Later, the person in charge of a black market trading shop fornicated with the ancient kingdom of Jingchuan and was executed by the charm department. Its black market trading shop was also cracked down, and the stolen goods were transferred to the Xiling State Treasury, where the Eleven-Bone Spirit Pagoda disguised as the Huashi Jade Pagoda was in it. โ€

"Stealing things from the Yisang Palace, isn't this Tai Sui's head breaking ground?" Ying Yanshu smiled bitterly, "Usually when we do tasks in Xiling, we have to be careful to avoid the charm generals." It's good to go straight to the charm general's nest. โ€

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. Don't forget, this mission needs to be successful once, otherwise it will cause the people of Xiling to be alerted, and the Eleven Bone Spirit Pagoda is likely to be exposed. โ€

"The people of Xiling haven't recognized it yet, and that's probably the only good news. This time it was Ying Yanshu's turn to have a headache, "This 'tiger' is worth 20,000 gold coins?"

"20,000 gold coins is the limit value of Huashi Jade Tower, in order not to arouse the suspicion of outsiders, the external quotation of the task can only be 20,000, but no one dares to accept it. The employer said that as long as someone takes the order, after knowing the truth about the Eleven Bone Spirit Tower, the remuneration can be increased to 50,000 gold coins. โ€

"Fifty thousand! Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"It's a little bit to be able to save. Naruto was unabashed.

"Your uncle!

"You've promised me. โ€

"I regret it, what's the matter, you old liar!"

"Okay, eighty thousand. โ€

"Deal. โ€

In the Charm Mansion of Yisang City, Xi Mian wore a ghost mask and sat in front of the table to check the documents of the Charm Department. There was a knock on the door, and Xi said, "Come in." โ€

A charm general came in from outside the door and arched his hand: "Envoy, the hour has come, and the personnel have been assembled." โ€

Xi put down the file and said sharply: "Close the net!"

Ten ghostly figures shuttled through the night sky of Yisang City, and the person at the head of the group wore a pair of black arm armor on his right arm, which was Xi.

The group gradually left the downtown area and came to the outside of an abandoned house. The ten people dispersed in an instant, each hiding in the shadows outside the wall.

The charm department received information a few days ago that scattered mercenaries were gathering towards Yisang City, so the charm department secretly strengthened its vigilance and identified several suspicious people. They entered the city in different batches, and went to an abandoned mansion in the middle of the city, and they could not enter or leave. The charm department believes that the abandoned mansion is the meeting point agreed by the mercenaries.

The last suspicious person entered this morning, and the Umibe decided to close the net tonight, believing that the prey had been assembled.

Xi put his right hand in front of his neck, made a fist with four fingers, and thumbs up. A charm will leave the shadows where it is hiding and silently climb up the treetops like a four-legged snake.

The moonlight was hazy, the shadows of the trees were mottled, and the branches and foliage blurred the outline of the charmer. A few owl cries came from the canopy, rhythmically, and the remaining nine charms would immediately climb over the wall. The moment they landed, the nine of them scattered again and hid in the shadows.

A charm will come to the outside of a room, listen intently, and peek through the cracks in the doors and windows. Another general watched his every move from afar. The ghost general in front of him observed for a while, quietly climbed into the window, and then walked out of the doorway. The companion in the back pointed the index of his right hand to his ear and asked with a gesture. The charm in front of him put his left hand on his forehead, indicating that there was no situation.

The nine charms will be like a group of jackals, divided into two echelons, alternately covering the advance.

A ghost general came to a large room, his nose moved slightly, he smelled a faint smell of blood, and listened closely, and a slight sound came from inside the room, which seemed to be flies. Mei will immediately run his right index finger across his eyebrows, signaling to his companion behind him that there is a problem. The gesture conveyed the message in silence, and the nine charms immediately gathered outside the room.

Outside the walls of the house, the rhythmic chirping of owls can be heard at regular intervals to signal safety.

Xi pointed to a charmer. The man nodded, and sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands sealed. The shadow beneath him suddenly moved, and he broke away from his body and burrowed into the house through the crack in the door.

After a few moments, the shadow burrowed back again. The charm will look around at her companions, her right hand across her neck, and then fold it down. The meaning of this gesture is: There is no one alive.

The nine charms stood up together, kicked open the door, and walked in. Inside, thirteen corpses lay silently, their necks cut open with sharp objects. These thirteen people are the suspicious people that the charm department tracked down before, and now they are all dead here.

"Spirit. Xi's voice was low and terrifying.

"Yes, Envoy. A general agreed, and came to the corpse, and the nail of the little finger of his right hand suddenly blackened and lengthened, and plunged into the deceased's wrist.

"Others, this room, search for me. Xi held a pillar with her right hand.

"Yes. "The remaining seven charms will disperse.

"Envoy, they die at different times. Luo came to Xi's side, "Some died first, and the latest was probably this morning." Most likely, they were killed as soon as they entered here. โ€

"It was their employer who killed them. Xi said coldly.

"Envoy!" the rest of the generals rushed back, "There is a secret door under the floor behind the lobby that connects to the underground drain system of Yisang City, which eventually leads to the Chuan River. โ€

"I see, tune the tiger away from the mountain, right?" With each word, Xi's right hand was forced, leaving a terrifying claw mark on the pillar. The charm next to him didn't dare to make a sound.

"Send a report to the Imperial City immediately, the city is forbidden!"

"Yes!"

"Whatever you are, don't want to survive tonight. โ€
