Chapter 101: Foothold (2)
"Where are the enemy troops now?" After a day's drive, Chen Long and the three finally joined the monk. The monk is already the actual controller of a county, but it is still not enough to see the hot sun with more than forty counties.
"It's almost there, and it is estimated that there will be another day to reach Tiancheng County, which is not far from us. The monk replied calmly.
"So slow? There's nothing wrong with your intelligence system. Chen Long glared at the monk and looked at him.
"This is accurate information, it is the news delivered by the undercover killers of the 'Shadow' organization, it is said that it is because we are too weak, and the archbishop of the family did not take it seriously, so he came here in a hurry, purely to travel. It is estimated that I will be able to live in the mansion of Tiancheng County tomorrow night. ”
"You know where he lives, so don't attack him, behead him in the night. ”
"That's exactly what I mean, but you have to remember that the undercover agent of the 'Shadow' organization is the butler of that mansion, and he will come to pick us up when the time comes, and I have already talked to him about backstabbing the cardinal, and when the time comes, we just need to attract his attention. ”
"You're still up to you in the backstab. As he spoke, Chen Long raised his thumb.
"By the way, what about Lu Lingfeng and Lu Lingyu, haven't they arrived yet?" Chen Long then asked.
"They haven't come to us yet, but they've already arrived in Tiancheng County, so I'll let them hide in place, and we'll just go to them when the time comes. ”
"Okay, then let your people do a good job of fortifications in front to paralyze them, and we will enter Tiancheng County first, and then take advantage of the night to capture the king first. Chen Long said fiercely.
......
In the afternoon of the same day, the monk, Chen Long, and Weng Tianyang mixed into Tiancheng County. Although the soldiers guarding the city were very strict, fortunately, Buddhism in this world had just begun, and the soldiers of the church did not know that most of the monks were bald, but they still thought: "This buddy has such a unique hairstyle, it must not be a villain." ”
In this way, the three of them mixed into Tiancheng County without any danger, and at a place almost one street away from the mansion, they joined the Lu family sisters and brothers.
"Well, there's no movement. Chen Long asked the Lu family sisters and brothers who had already come in advance.
"That cardinal archbishop hasn't come yet, it's just ......," Lu Lingyu replied hesitantly.
"Just what?" Chen Long asked puzzled.
"It's just that the killer sent by the 'Shadow' organization has taken over to us, and it's Wu Yuntao. ”
"Wu Yuntao, isn't he a swordsman, can he still do undercover work?" Chen Long was a little dazed.
"This ...... According to our observation for several hours, he has a talent for being a housekeeper, not only quickly taking care of the entire mansion in an orderly manner, but also pretending to be a dog, if we hadn't met in person, I couldn't believe he was the undercover agent. ”
"Ah......h That's okay, since the undercover agent is seamless, then we don't need to worry about his ability anymore, after all, we have the combat power of others for all to see. In this case, when the so-called cardinal archbishop comes, we will give him a great gift, so that he can experience our enthusiasm!"
......
At night, the five of them crowded into a hundred-square-meter house to rest, and in the mansion on the other side, Wu Yuntao, who had been busy all day, also left the mansion alone and escaped into the night. Because Wu Yuntao took care of things well, and there were not many people talking, he was recommended by the local steward of the purple bishop, and he could even go to the capital city of the church to be a housekeeper for the rich and powerful.
Wu Yuntao silently came to a building opposite the mansion, took out the sniper equipment that had been prepared long ago, took it out of his bag, and set it up on the roof. Silently adjusting the scope.
"Whew......" Wu Yuntao lay silently on the dark roof, and his right index finger gradually put on the trigger.
With a muffled "bang", the bullet silently streaked across the night sky under the demonic muffler, and accurately hit the apple on the table in the bedroom on the second floor of the mansion.
With a "pop", a small groove appeared in front of the apple, it turned out that the bullet was just a paintball for practice, but its impact was enough to knock the apple away. The red apple, in a graceful arc in the air, fell accurately into the garbage can on the side, no more, no less.
Wu Yuntao, who witnessed all this through the scope, did not have any joy, as if it was just an ordinary little thing.
After Wu Yuntao fired a shot, he silently took out a black blanket from the violin case where the gun was loaded before, covered the whole gun tightly, and then took out two small hooks, which were hung on the left and right sides of the blanket, and the middle thread was tied to the trigger. All the threads were eventually put together again and tied in a small black box.
After doing all this, Wu Yuntao put away the violin case containing the gun and turned around and left the inconspicuous building.
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the advance force of the church had already arrived in Tiancheng County. After the vanguard arrived, they quickly imposed martial law near the mansion and surrounded the street in front of the mansion with three floors inside and three floors outside.
The precautions were very tight, but there were no thieves inside, so Wu Yuntao easily gave Chen Long a cleaning pass for the five people, so that they could go through layers of screening and enter the well-guarded mansion.
As soon as the cardinal archbishop entered the city, the quintet received bad news. Wu Yuntao was transferred to the capital of the church, and the housekeeper here was to be replaced by the cardinal's own royal butler, and his strength was also at the level of the purple cardinal, which cast a shadow on the assassination.
"Don't worry, as long as you can do it in the cardinal's bedroom on the second floor, where I have a backup move. Before leaving, Wu Yuntao said to the five people lurking.
"Don't worry, I expected the organization to move me out and go undercover with a bigger target, so I was ready for it. Moreover, it is estimated that the newcomer sent by the organization will come to the mansion tonight, and when the time comes, you will directly pull him on his back, and it will be easier to leave. ”
"Good fellow, you're still good at backstabbing. Chen Long gave Wu Yuntao a thumbs up and said.
Wu Yuntao nodded, picked up his luggage and walked outside the mansion.
It was already the afternoon when the cardinal archbishop lived in the mansion, and he didn't change anyone except the housekeeper, probably out of confidence in his own strength, people do have this capital, as one of the strongest combat forces of the church, Chen Long is difficult to win one-on-one, but what he didn't expect was that there were five people on the other side, and they were already lurking around him.
At night, five black shadows crept to the door of the master bedroom on the second floor, and carefully pushed the door open a gap.
The cardinal had fallen asleep a few hours earlier and was already snoring by this time.
"Squeak", the door was slowly opened, but with the sound of the door opening, the cries gradually stopped.
When Chen Long had just put his foot into the door, a voice came from the bed:
"Luke, is there something wrong?"
Chen Long didn't dare to speak or move when he heard this.
After about ten seconds of silence, the person on the bed suddenly sat up and looked at Chen Long, who was still hanging in the air with one foot, and the scene was extremely embarrassing for a while.
"It wasn't Luke, but a couple of rats in the house. ”
As he spoke, the cardinal rolled over and clenched his fists.
Seeing this, Chen Long and the five of them didn't sneak in, and the five of them took out their respective weapons and rushed into the bedroom.
"Dare to assassinate me? Then let me see if you have what it takes. ”
As he spoke, the cardinal's left fist jerked forward, striking with Chen Long's scepter.
The force of this blow was so great that Chen Long retreated again and again.
At the same time, the monk's Zen staff also arrived, and the cardinal archbishop just raised his right arm and struck the monk's blow at the moment. It's just that at this time, a figure flashed, and it was Lu Lingfeng who relied on the agility of the elf clan to go around the back of the cardinal, and scratched the bishop's back with a quenched dagger.
As soon as the bishop was in pain, he turned around and kicked Lu Lingfeng against the wall, vomiting blood again and again. But he also suffered a monk's scepter.
Ah, you ask why Lu Lingfeng wants to fight in close combat as an archer, man, if he shoots a crooked arrow and flies out through the wall, the surrounding guards will be alarmed, and he will not be able to escape at that time.
At this time, Luke, the butler who heard the movement next door, also arrived, but as soon as his savior arrived at the door, he coldly stretched out a black fist, and ate the full force of Weng Tianyang's mechanical fist and flew out. Fell to the first floor.
The cardinal touched the scar on his back, and the blood that came out was black, and it seemed that the poison was not small.
Knowing that the situation was unfavorable, the bishop slowly moved to the desk in the bedroom, and under the desk, there was an alarm button, as long as the guards outside could be notified to come to support, this gang of thieves would be killed. Although the bishop can kill these five people alone, it will consume a lot of time, and even if he wins in the end, it will only end up being poisoned and killed.
"Let's go together, don't let him press the alarm!" Chen Long guessed the clue when he saw the bishop move towards the desk quietly.
"It's late, ants. The bishop had reached for the bottom of his desk.
"Bang. "Platinum Star!"
It was on the opposite building, and the negligible sound sounded at the same time as Chen Long's voice.
Time stood still at this moment, but with the strength of the cardinal, Chen Long couldn't stop for a long time, at most a few tenths of a second.
After 0.8 seconds, the Bishop was no longer affected by the Platinum Star, but he keenly noticed that Chen Long was one step closer to him. Although he didn't understand what kind of ability Chen Long was, no matter what kind of ability it was, it couldn't stop him from pressing the alarm button.
As the bishop pressed the red button, which symbolized the alarm, the glass behind the bishop shattered, and a yellow bullet pierced the night sky and landed directly on the back of the bishop's head.
"Bang" Archbishop was hit by a bullet in the back of his head, but he was not dead, but he was also blinded by this shot, and then, Chen Long's black knife slashed and penetrated his brain.
Bishop, died violently.
"Quickly hide in the wardrobes on both sides. Wu Yuntao's voice suddenly came from the room.
Hearing this, the five of them quickly opened the wardrobe, hid it, and then closed the action in one go.
As soon as the five of them closed the closet door, Luke climbed up to the second floor and came to the door.
Luke quickly approached the bishop to check on his injuries.
At the same time, another dark shadow was climbing over the courtyard wall and leaning over the gate of the mansion.
But as soon as he climbed over the courtyard wall, there was a sudden sound of "Dididi" beside him, and then the glass on the second floor of the mansion in front of him burst open.
The black shadow immediately felt that something was wrong, and was about to turn away, but the courtyard wall behind him suddenly exploded, and the flames soared into the sky.
The black shadow was stupid, he was originally a killer sent by the "Shadow" organization to replace Wu Yuntao, but he just came to step on it today, but he didn't expect that it would be beyond his expectations as soon as he entered something. Without much thought, the shadow turned and ran.
Hearing the sound of an explosion coming downstairs, in front of the broken mirror in front of the contact, the housekeeper Luke subconsciously thought that the murderer had broken the window and fled, and because it was dark, he was punched away when he first came, and he didn't see how many people there were.
As soon as Luke reached the window, he saw a dark shadow leaving through a hole in the courtyard wall, and he didn't think much about it, he immediately turned over and jumped down, chasing in the direction of the black shadow's escape.
As soon as the black shadow came out of the hole, he saw a lot of church soldiers surrounded not far away, he was stupid at that time, and then looked back at the other side of the cave, and there was a middle-aged man who was not easy to get along with at first glance and rushed over with an angry face, the black shadow was immediately speechless, and his sweet mood immediately became bitter.
It didn't take long for the Black Shadow Brother to die violently, taking a cauldron on his back for the assassin.
