Chapter Seventy-Six: Murder with a Knife
Five days ago, Phoenix, Liufu.
Yun Tianlong was called to Liu Nanchun's study overnight, the order was unquestionable, he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly rushed to Liufu after explaining the affairs of the family, every time he went out, Yun Tianlong would arrange the affairs of the family, for fear that there would be no return, this has become a habit.
Yun Tianlong knew in his heart that Liu Nanchun must have some shady deeds at this time, after all, he was the chief commander of the Armed Forces Division, and if he was sent on official business, he could directly summon him in the Shuai Palace.
The original Duan Mansion has now become the Liu Mansion, since Liu Nanchun was promoted to the city lord, he has requisitioned the Duan family's mansion, looking at the golden "Liu Mansion" on the vermilion gate, Yun Tianlong sneered.
Closing the door, Liu Nanchun looked at Yun Tianlong, he was confirming whether he could still teach Yun Tianlong to do this, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find other suitable candidates, and said, "There is something for you to do." ”
Yun Tianlong listened to Liu Nanchun's tone and seemed to have no room for negotiation, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
"Tomorrow, a batch of black iron ore will be transported from Moonlight City to Cloud City, and I want you to take someone to rob this batch of iron ore. ”
Yun Tianlong felt unbelievable after hearing this, robbing the iron mine? What does this mean, the iron ore convoy is huge, and it is extremely heavy, even if the robbery can be successful, it is difficult not to think about it and transport it back. Moreover, there are many passes along the way, and it is impossible for such a huge convoy to evade the investigation of the officials and soldiers, which is different from the previous smuggling, once the owner is robbed, he will definitely report to the officials, iron ore is a strategic material, and the officers and soldiers will definitely be under martial law throughout the territory, and their current identity is different from the past, do they want to take this risk?
But Yun Tianlong didn't immediately question it, but asked, "What route?"
"The specific ambush location is in Wuli Town, which is located at the junction of the two counties, and it is sparsely populated, and the officers and soldiers rarely set foot in it, so it should not be a difficult task, and I ask you to bring the iron ore to the predetermined location within five days. ”
Yun Tianlong heard this, Liu Nanchun was obviously deliberately embarrassing himself, Wuli Town knew that according to the previous experience of Qingshui Villa, from Phoenix City to Wuli Town, it was necessary to make a detour to the East Three Mountains or the West Three Mountains, and it would take at least ten days to go back and forth, and Liu Nanchun only gave himself five days, which means that he had to arrive at Wuli Town in two and a half days and then return quickly, then he only had one way to go, that is, to go straight through the Ghost Jump Pit. But the place of the Ghost Jump Pit is all too familiar to me.
Yun Tianlong asked, "Why is it so urgent?"
Liu Nanchun looked at Yun Tianlong and said, "This is not what you should ask. You just have to complete the mission. ”
Yun Tianlong felt that something was wrong, and thought about it if he refused, just to give Liu Nanchun the truth, he knew in his heart that the reason why he was able to become the chief secretary of this military division was not that Liu Nanchun trusted him, but that he had too many secrets in his hands, on the contrary, Liu Nanchun was always trying to find a way to make himself disappear, and this mission was likely to be a trap, so he said: "I will arrange someone to do it immediately." ”
Liu Nanchun stopped Yun Tianlong: "You personally bring someone to handle this matter, and you have to use the people of your Qingshui Villa, and the government is not allowed to have anything to do with this matter." ”
"This kind of trivial matter, the people in the villa are already familiar with the road, there is no need for me to take action personally, right?"
"The stakes are high, and the escorts are not for idle people, and those who used to be there are not enough to do the task. ”
"Oh, who can make the city lord so praised?"
"Your old friend. ”
Yun Tianlong looked back at Liu Nanchun: "Duan Feng?"
Liu Nanchun nodded.
"That's to my surprise, why did he show up in public?"
"It's a bit complicated, and you'll find out later. ”
Yun Tianlong knew that Liu Nanchun still didn't trust him, and it was useless to ask more, so he replied, "I will do it myself." ”
After Yun Tianlong left, Liu Wenxing walked in and looked at Liu Nanchun suspiciously: "I don't understand, why are you doing this, he can't complete the task." ”
"It doesn't matter, just let him meet Duan Feng. ”
"What if he returns halfway?"
Liu Nanchun sneered and said, "No, with my understanding of him, since he knows that it is Duan Feng, he will definitely meet Duan Feng, as long as he meets Duan Feng, our goal will be achieved." ”
"I don't understand. ”
"Duan Feng has always thought that everything behind the scenes is my mastermind, which is very unfavorable to our plan, since Yun Tianlong attacked Duan Feng once last time in Buzhou City, he thought that I didn't know, and it was ridiculous to want to contact Duan Feng behind my back, since this is the case, then why don't I push the boat down the river and become Yun Tianlong. ”
"You mean to let Yun Tianlong be a shield?"
"Since he wants to, I have no opinion. ”
Yun Tianlong left Liufu and wanted to return to Qingshui Villa, but after thinking about it, he turned back to the Wubei Division. Five sub-saint realm qi were carefully selected from it, and these qi were all selected and promoted by Liu Nanchun from the Qi Control Division and arranged in the Armed Forces Division, and then he drew a 2,000-strong elite team from the Armed Forces Division and handed them over to these people to command, so far, the entire Armed Forces Division has been arranged with Liu Nanchun's people.
Yun Tianlong looked at this army carefully trained by Liu Nanchun, and thought secretly: "Liu Nanchun, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. ”
After ordering the people, Yun Tianlong led this team of more than 2,000 people to march towards the Ghost Crying Pit, swaggering through the market along the way, as if he was afraid that others would not know. Soon this matter reached Liu Nanchun's ears, although Liu Nanchun felt angry, but there was nothing to be done, after all, this matter was carried out in secret, if Yun Tianlong was recalled at this time, it would inevitably cause speculation from the outside world, so it could only be Yun Tianlong, but Liu Nanchun didn't know what medicine was sold in this Yun Tianlong gourd.
Yun Tianlong walked in front of the team, leading the team around the West Three Mountains, straight towards the North Three Mountains, three days had passed, Duan Feng walked with the team unhurriedly.
Li Jingwen, the entourage next to him, looked at the official army behind him, although he had changed his clothes, but judging from the appearance of the army, it was obviously a professionally trained regular army, and said, "Cousin, didn't the city lord not let the officers and soldiers participate in this matter?"
"Hmph! ”
"I really don't know, why did the city lord hijack the minecart? Now that he's the city lord, it's not a matter of saying that he wants ore, right, cousin?"
Yun Tianlong scolded angrily: "How many times have I told you, don't call me cousin in front of outsiders!"
Li Jingwen said aggrievedly: "But you are indeed my cousin!"
Yun Tianlong said sharply: "I am your cousin at home, and I am your chief outside, understand?"
Li Jingwen said stupidly: "Understood." But I still don't understand why we're hijacking minecarts?"
Yun Tianlong had a disdainful expression on his face: "What kind of mine carjacking is just his excuse." ”
"What do you mean?"
Yun Tianlong glared at Li Jingwen and said, "What do you mean? Whether this matter is successful or not, we can't return to Phoenix City according to Liu Nanchun's wishes, Liu Nanchun's move is nothing more than wanting to borrow a knife to kill people?"
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?"
Yun Tianlong looked at Li Jingwen: "Borrow my knife to kill Duan Feng, or borrow Duan Feng's knife to kill me, no matter which of the two of us dies, it is the result that Liu Nanchun wants to see." As for the iron ore, he didn't care. ”
Li Jingwen said: "Then let's not go, now that most of the time has passed, even if we rush to Wuli Town, it is estimated that Duan Feng will leave early." ”
Yun Tianlong said: "If I go back the way I came, it won't be me, he knows me too well. ”
Li Jingwen said, "What do you mean?"
Yun Tianlong looked at Li Jingwen, looked up and down, then looked back at the team behind him and sneered, "You'll know later." ”
Approaching dusk, Yun Tianlong led the team to the North Three Mountains and ordered the team to camp at the foot of the North Three Mountains. The camp has been raised, and it is not a problem for each battalion to make a fire and cook.
Yun Tianlong called Li Jingwen to his camp tent and said, "I have a task for you, and you must keep it secret." ”
Li Jingwen said happily: "What task, I promise to complete." ”
Li Jingwen has liked to follow Yun Tianlong since he was a child, and has always regarded Yun Tianlong as his own brother, especially since Yun Tianlong was promoted to the position of the chief commander of the Armed Forces Division, Li Jingwen worships Yun Tianlong even more, and it is precisely because of this that Li Jingwen begged his father to allow him to enter Qingshui Villa to do things.
However, Yun Tianlong has always given him any tasks on the grounds that he is too young, and today, Yun Tianlong sent him a task, and Li Jingwen was naturally very happy.
Yun Tianlong looked at his excited cousin, thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, you can't do this, you can go down." ”
How could Li Jingwen give up, he just didn't leave the camp tent, Yun Tianlong looked at the qi next to him, and then at Li Jingwen, knowing that if his request was not met, he would definitely not give up, so he sighed lightly and said, "Okay, you take these five qi people to this place to do something." ”
Saying that, Yun Tianlong pointed to the location of the ghost screaming pit on the map, and then handed a bag to Li Jingwen, and instructed the five qi people to obey Li Jingwen's orders.
The qizi looked at each other, their faces were reluctant, and Yun Tianlong was furious, "Do you want to disobey?"
Yun Tianlong looked at Li Jingwen who was leaving, and said in his heart: "I'm sorry, cousin, if I don't do this, they won't believe me." ”
Li Jingwen led the five qizi to the mouth of the ghost crying pit, Li Jingwen opened the bag, and Yun Tianlong ordered Li Jingwen to lead the qizi to a house at the mouth of the valley, and then kill all the people inside. Although Li Jingwen was very confused about this matter, Li Jingwen, who admired his cousin, still did not hesitate to carry out his cousin's order.
Li Jingwen took the lead in the front, and the five angry people followed behind and remained vigilant at all times. After a while, the six of them came to the gate of the small courtyard, and the door was opened by a lame old man, Li Jingwen was stunned, although he wondered why his cousin wanted to kill a lame old man, but he still decided to carry out his cousin's order, so he followed the old man into the room, and the five angry men remained vigilant in the courtyard.
Not long after Li Jingwen and his people left, Yun Tianlong secretly summoned more than 200 guards he brought from Qingshui Villa, and left Beisanshan to go to Wuli Town at night, leaving the 2,000 officers and soldiers stationed in Beisanshan.
