Chapter 183: The Prince of the Kingdom
Wang Ze glanced at Lu Ping'an, with a smug look on his face, as if to say, look, I'm not wrong, right?
Lu Ping'an forced a grin, but his heart was heavy.
According to what Wang Ze just said, Cao Xin is undoubtedly one of the most promising contestants in the Amphibious Games.
For some, this is a major threat, even much greater than Lu Ping'an's.
So, who is behind this?
The other three geniuses, or the forces behind them, have the strongest motives and the greatest suspicions.
Because of any of them, as long as they get rid of Cao Xin and Lu Ping'an, their chances of winning will become extremely high.
Of course, it is also possible that there are other contestants who have not yet come forward, but it is unlikely.
Not to mention killing all competitors, it is difficult to kill the four geniuses, and the consequences are unbearable for anyone.
It is no exaggeration to say that if any of the emperor's relatives dared to do this, triggering the monstrous anger of the four major forces, even the emperor would not be able to keep it.
Lu Ping'an was still a little surprised that Han Yingge dared to take on this kind of task, and thought, it seems that the rumors that as long as the price is enough, they will dare to kill anyone, which is really not false at all.
Feng Ziping saw that Lu Ping'an's face was a little wrong, and asked: "Wang Xiaofan, are you scared? Some time ago, who boasted about Haikou in front of me, saying that even the emperor would dare to kill him? Now it's just killing a prince of the country, won't it be like this?"
Lu Ping'an smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid, I just think this matter will be very troublesome." ”
Feng Ziping said: "Of course it is troublesome, but correspondingly, the remuneration is also very high, and after the matter is completed, each of you will get ...... One hundred Xuan-rank mid-grade spirit stones!"
Everyone was in an uproar, even Lu Ping'an.
This is equivalent to the money they can earn by doing an ordinary task for a month, and the reward is indeed rich.
However, as killers, they are still relatively calm, knowing that the higher the price, the greater the risk.
Even if Cao Xin is only a son of the world, has no actual power in his hands, and has not yet become a strong man in the true sense, this task is definitely not so easy to accomplish.
Feng Ziping seemed to guess everyone's thoughts, and said, "First of all, this is a special task, and you can't refuse. Secondly, I know that a son of the world is not so easy to kill, so this time, I will also take action myself. ”
Hearing this, Wang Ze and the other four killers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"With Hall Master Feng and you taking us, this mission is nine out of ten, then we don't have to worry about anything. ”
"That's right, what kind of bullshit is in the world, you will definitely die!"
"Haha, after this vote, I'm going to have a good rest for a month. ”
According to Lu Ping'an's recent understanding, Feng Ziping's cultivation realm is probably around the triple level of the Yuanwu realm.
With such a strong person coming forward to lead everyone, the danger of the action is naturally much reduced, and the probability of success is greatly increased.
But this is not good news for Lu Ping'an, who is a meticulous worker.
With Feng Ziping joining, the situation of His Royal Highness the Prince will inevitably become more dangerous.
And this is not a personal task, with the presence of others, the tricks used by Lu Ping'an before cannot be used again.
Not to mention Cao Xin's character, whether it is good or bad, from the perspective of Flying Fish Guard, they will never allow a prince to be assassinated.
The Flying Fish Guard stared at Han Ying Pavilion for so long, and sent several fine works in, if this failed to stop it, it would be a serious dereliction of duty.
Once the prince is angry and the emperor is held accountable, the entire Flying Fish Guard will be severely punished, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, even if Lu Ping'an doesn't know Cao Xin for the time being, he will be worried about it.
Subsequently, Feng Ziping gave some information about Cao Xin, and asked Lu Ping'an and others to check it out first.
In addition to those well-known things, this information also mentions Cao Xin's cultivation realm, as well as several spells that he is good at using, as well as the basic information of those entourages around him, which can be described as quite detailed.
Before he could look at it for a long time, Wang Ze exclaimed: "True Martial Nine Peaks? This guy really deserves to be a genius, he is only twenty-three years old, and he has reached such a high realm, it is too powerful!"
A person next to him nodded and said, "It seems that he has really learned something from Jixia Academy, and in time, he will definitely become a generation of powerhouses." ”
Another one-eyed dragon wearing an eye patch said, "He's going to die soon, where is the chance to become a strong man?"
Wang Ze smiled: "Haha, that's right, being targeted by us can only be regarded as unlucky, no matter how dazzling a genius is, death is a flash in the pan and meaningless." ”
Lu Ping'an pretended to echo: "That's right, this guy has such a good life, and he still wants to marry a princess, how can he let him take advantage of all the good things, and he must be killed." ”
Wang Ze said: "That's right! But his strength ...... We can't deal with it, we can only be dealt with by Hall Master Feng, and we have the opportunity to make up for a few more knives. ”
Feng Ziping, who was standing above with his hands in his hand, said: "Don't worry, Cao Xin and I will solve it, you just need to get rid of his entourage." ”
Wang Ze said: "According to the intelligence, those entourages are all from the second to the sixth level of the True Martial Realm, if this is the case, we should be fine." But the question is, with his status, will there be other masters by his side?"
Lu Ping'an nodded and said, "When I first performed the mission, I suffered such a loss. ”
Feng Ziping glanced at Lu Ping'an and said: "Cao Xin is a very proud genius boy, he is not afraid of death as the waste you said, and he is very strong in his own right, unless he encounters something important, he generally does not bring stronger people by his side." ”
The one-eyed dragon added: "The assassination depends on the occasion, you don't understand this, if Cao Xin is in the Guogong Mansion or attends a grand event, then there must be a strong person to protect him, but if he goes to the Fengyue place and does something unseemly, most of the time there will only be a few followers, and he may even be alone." ”
Feng Ziping nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, that's the truth, you all have to learn from the lone wolf, he is the person with the highest qualifications and the most completed tasks among the several of you." ”
Wang Ze was afraid that Lu Ping'an would not understand, so he explained: "The lone wolf is his nickname. ”
Lu Ping'an said: "This is quite vivid. ”
The lone wolf suddenly glared at him and said, "Boy, I'm your senior, you'd better show me some respect." ”
Feng Ziping said: "Don't start infighting, listen to me all right, tonight Wei Guogong and his wife, if they have something important to go out, they will definitely bring the strong people in the house, and Cao Xin is estimated to go to the Chengbei River to visit the flower boat, it is impossible for too strong people to follow him, this ...... That's the best chance for us to do it!"
Wang Ze asked, "That means that we are going to start acting later?"
Feng Ziping said: "Of course, for a big task like this, the organization has already sent someone to investigate, so you can just follow my orders and act later, don't think too much." ”
Lu Ping'an was stunned when he heard this, if it was like an ordinary task, he needed to personally investigate for a few days before starting, then he would have enough time to notify Feiyuwei, but in this way, the situation became quite tricky.
In fact, Lu Ping'an also knows that when Feiyuwei encounters this kind of thing, there will definitely be a solution, but he and Feiyuwei can only be regarded as a cooperative relationship now, and many things are not clear, and in the event of an emergency, he does not know how to notify the other party.
It's not a real Flying Fish Guard, and there are still inconveniences after all.
Lu Ping'an thought to himself, maybe he could only wait there and find an opportunity to crush the small round ball and call Luo Yi over directly.
Even if this was done in a hurry, he believed that with Luo Yi's strength and experience, he should be able to handle it.
Moreover, Lu Ping'an took a closer look at the information and found that Cao Xin, at least on the surface, was not a big problem.
Not only did he never do evil, but he also had a very good reputation both in the National Academy and in the Jixia Academy.
He is suave and generous, and even in some dangerous experiences, he has saved the lives of many of his classmates, at most he is a little proud.
These things are written in the intelligence, not to evaluate the character, but to let the killers know this person as much as possible, so that in some special circumstances, they can judge what choice the other party will make, or respond to the sentence "know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles".
But the more he looked at it like this, the more Lu Ping'an felt that he couldn't die.
The most important reason is that he was targeted because of the Amphibious Society, and Lu Ping'an must not let the mastermind behind the scenes succeed.
Even if Cao Xin is a strong competitor of the Amphibious Society, Lu Ping'an hopes that he can defeat the other party in a dignified manner, rather than relying on assassination.
Even in the dark, Lu Ping'an still has a heart for the light.
However, Feng Ziping didn't give Lu Ping'an any chance to choose, and after he said some precautions in the action, he directly waved his hand and asked them to change their clothes, put on their masks, and prepare to go.
After a while, including Feng Ziping, a group of six people, all dressed in black, shuttled through the dark night of Luotian City, hiding a surging murderous machine.
After a while, Lu Ping'an and others, under the leadership of Feng Ziping, came to the vicinity of the Chengbei River.
From afar, there are brightly lit and luxurious flower boats docked by the river.
The shore and the boat were crowded with red men and green women, and there were all kinds of singing and dancing performances, which were extremely cheerful and lively.
Feng Ziping said: "Do you see the biggest boat? That is where Cao Xin and the others will go, and the boat will also go down so that they can enjoy the scenery along the river, which is also good for our operation, it will not disturb more people, make a big noise, and when the task is completed, we can get off the boat and leave from another place." ”
Wang Ze said: "Hall Master Feng's move, it's really powerful, this assassination plan is perfect." ”
Feng Ziping said: "Don't make a fool of yourself, cheer me up, in order to succeed in the shortest possible time!"
Everyone whispered, "Yes!"
At this time, Lu Ping'an's heart has become more dignified.
He didn't expect that the assassination site was mobile.
Even if he crushed the small round ball when he got on the boat, and when Luo Yi arrived, the boat had already sailed to another place, and it was difficult for Luo Yi to rush to the scene in the first place.
Lu Ping'an's eyes condensed slightly, and he thought, could it be that Cao Xin is really going to die on the flower boat tonight?
