Chapter 018: Night Banquet
Liulinpo is a small town, and the Yuwen family is the first clan in this town. On the birthday of Mrs. Yuwen www.biquge.info the whole town was lit up. Ye Su's group of twenty-eight people were all fresh-faced, so they did not enter the town after arriving, and hid in the willow forest outside the town. The crowd either rested or replenished dry food and water, and no one spoke, which was very different from the lazy state in Taishan County.
Ye Su looked like no one else on the surface, leaning against a tree and closing his eyes to recuperate. But feeling the solemn atmosphere around him, his heart is not calm at all.
The obsession with kendo and the persistence of finding the solid qi of the heart made Ye Su ignore the content of the task intentionally or unintentionally. But as the time approached, Ye Su realized more and more that this was not to kill Liu Yong, who scolded him for being a cheap slave all day long, but to kill a group of strangers who had never known each other, and it was a big family. When it's time to act, can you really do it?
Suddenly, Ye Su noticed someone approaching behind him. His heart tightened, and his hand subconsciously pressed towards the hilt of the sword.
"Good vigilance. Fang Zhen's voice.
"Brother Fang. Ye Su got up and saluted.
"Follow me. Fang Zhen greeted softly, and walked towards the depths of the woods.
Ye Su was suspicious in his heart and followed.
Fang Zhen didn't go far, he stopped after walking a distance of dozens of meters, turned around and said: "The Yuwen family does not have a strong entry, there are a total of five solid qi masters, and Yuwen Yuan is only the nineteenth layer of solid qi. Even with the addition of the guests and the soldiers he brought, there would be no more than ten solid qi masters. Therefore, this mission is at the yellow level, and it can theoretically be completed by ten people. ”
The Thirteen Sword Divisions issued a task, divided into four difficulty levels of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, this Ye Su knew, but he didn't understand why Fang Zhen told him this.
"What are you talking to me about?" Ye Su was puzzled.
"Your breath is disordered, and your mind is uneven. Fang Zhen said: "I don't care about your life or death, but your nervousness will become an unstable factor in this mission." ”
"I'm thinking about something, but it's not what you think. Ye Su shook his head.
"It's not this, is it still a stupid moral concept?" Fang Zhen showed a bit of mockery. "If that's the case, I'll only look down on you even more. ”
Ye Su was a little annoyed, but he didn't bother to argue.
Fang Zhen looked at Ye Su and suddenly said, "Yu Wenyuan colluded with the remnants of the sect to abduct children and send them to the outer realms. The wives and petty servants in the family may not know about the collusion with the sect, but they all know and even directly participate in the abduction of children. ”
Ye Su was slightly stunned.
"The Thirteen Sword Divisions never need a reason to kill people, and I just don't want to have hidden dangers in this mission. Fang Zhen said: "In addition, tomorrow you need a person to put on makeup and enter Yuwen's house to confirm the target number." You don't have a solid energy, you won't attract too much attention, just the right thing to do......"
Fang Zhen explained a few more words, and turned around to leave without waiting for Ye Su to agree.
Looking at Fang Zhen's back as he left, Ye Su suddenly had some strange feelings.
He and Yi Shu are very close to each other, but their bosses are enemies. Fang Zhen and him are considered to be in the same family, but the two obviously don't get along. And when he found out that he had a problem, he came to do psychological counseling, but he was a fellow disciple who couldn't get along.
......
This season has just begun to fall, and it has been cloudy for several days, but I didn't think it would really rain. Before dawn, Ye Su, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by falling raindrops.
After having internal breath, Ye Su's physique was far better than ordinary people, and he didn't feel cold when he stayed in Liulin at night. But as soon as the rain started, I couldn't stand it. The others weren't much better, if it weren't for Fang Zhen's hat and coat prepared in advance, this rain alone would have to reduce the combat effectiveness.
The rain was not heavy, but it did not stop, and from early morning to early afternoon, there was not the slightest sign of clearing. The killers hid in the willow forest and could not go out, and the dry food on their bodies was also damp, and they tasted moldy in their mouths. Ye Su couldn't help but think of some film and television dramas he had watched in his previous life, how chic the killers were in roasting chicken and wine, and now it seems to be nonsense.
Just when Yi Shu complained vigorously and scolded the ghost weather, there was finally movement on the official road. With the sound of horses' hooves, more than a dozen horses galloped in from a distance.
"Yu Wenyuan. Fang Zhen recognized at a glance that all the people who came were the generals of the South Battalion, and the leader was Yu Wenyuan.
The imperial court has strict laws, and Yu Wenyuan is stationed in the southern camp on weekdays, if there is no military order, he can only leave the military camp and return home on special days such as the elder's birthday.
The killers waited for a long time, and suddenly someone was ready to move.
"Don't rush into action, he is not the only target. ”
Fang Zhen stopped everyone, and when Yu Wenyuan and his party entered the town, they led people out of the willow forest. Under the cover of rain, sneak into the town of Liulinpo.
The sudden rain did not discount the joy of the old house of the Yuwen family, and the reeds were erected in the courtyard, and the guests pushed the cups and changed the lamps in the rain, and the drinking orders were not lively.
Twenty-eight killers were divided into five groups, and four groups of men and horses had been ambushed and sealed off around the old house. Fang Zhen led the last group to guard in an alley outside the main gate, observing the surrounding situation, ready to attack head-on at any time. Ye Su changed his clothes and prepared to enter the house to confirm the target.
"Fang Zhen, no matter how Mr. Twelve wants to take care of the novice, he can't joke about the task. Gao Huichen glanced at Ye Su, and the other party was shocked: "It's better for me to go, in case I let this chick dew stuffing, so that Yu Wenyuan has a ...... to be wary."
"What can you do if you have precautions?" Ye Su had been putting up with Gao Huichen for a long time, and immediately interrupted the conversation and scolded: "It's just a yellow-level mission, even if you attack directly, you have a chance of winning, and going in to investigate is nothing more than an extra layer of insurance." If you're afraid to roll the calf directly, it's **** egg here. ”
"You, what are you talking about?" Gao Huichen's eyes widened.
"Okay, don't make any noise. Don't forget that I am the team leader, and according to the rules, all actions are arranged by me. Fang Zhen said: "Ye Su goes, the others stay." ”
Ye Su glanced at Gao Huichen provocatively, and under his gritted gaze, he walked into the old mansion of the Yuwen family.
The Yuwen family has endured for a long time, although it has never been a leader, but it has never been in the top ten in Taishan County. On Mrs. Yuwen's birthday, even if the official and wealthy family do not come, they will inevitably send a congratulatory gift. Some small households who want to hug their thighs will also take this opportunity to come to the door.
Ye Sudengmen's identity is the son of a merchant who has just arrived in the local area and wants to cling to the Yuwen family. As for how to prove it, a gift list of two hundred taels of silver is all right.
"Su Gongzi, please. Ye Su, alias Su Shi, was led by the servant to sit down at a table in the corner. The people sitting at this table are all relatively marginal characters, what kind of rice shop owner yamen officials. An alien nouveau riche can only mix one seat here.
Ye Su was polite with the other guests while looking at the situation in the courtyard.
Although Taishan County is a border city, it has always been at peace with several grassland tribes entrenched in the northern regions. Except for the serial slaughter of the village five years ago, and the continuous smashing of the sword hall, there has never been any major chaos. The Yuwen family is full of friends today, but the number of guards is low. The dozen or so soldiers of the South Battalion who came with Yu Wenyuan were all eye-catching.
"Forty-seven guards with swords, thirteen masters of internal breath, and five masters of solid qi......"
Although the strength of internal breath can be detected by perception, it is inevitable that there will be omissions. But under Ye Su's small world, it is clearer than an X-ray scan. Ye Su took the wine glass and walked around the courtyard, and then felt the bottom of the situation.
The situation was clear, Ye Su was about to leave, and he happened to collide with a person, Yu Wenyuan.
Yu Wenyuan had just come back and was taking a few people to toast from table to table. Blocking Ye Su was a complete coincidence.
Ye Su took a step back and made way for Yu Wenyuan and his party. But maybe the movement was a little slower, and the steward in charge of guiding the way was very dissatisfied, so he pushed Ye Su away directly with a flick of his arm.
Because of the rain, many reed sheds were erected in the courtyard, and Ye Su was pushed obliquely, just hitting the support of a reed shed. With a bang, the bracket was skewed, and the reed shed collapsed. The rain and debris fell, and the guests at the table suddenly screamed and panicked.
"What's going on?" Yu Wenyuan was furious.
The steward didn't expect to make such a mess with just a push of his hand, his face turned pale, and he grabbed Ye Su in a hurry: "Where did you come from?
Ye Su is here to go undercover, so he shouldn't have made trouble. But he was pulled by the collar and planted dirty things on his head, and the fire of Gao Huichen's arch had not gone down before, so he stopped doing it immediately.
"Fuck off. Ye Su waved his arm and opened the steward's hand. "I don't have long eyes, and I deduct the basin on others, something!"
"You, you dare to scold me?" the steward was furious: "Bastard......"
"Well, let's not look at any occasion. Fix the shed quickly, appease the guests, and don't rush the birthday party. Yu Wenyuan reprimanded the steward, and then turned his gaze to Ye Su. At this time, someone had already informed Su Shi's identity and brought the gift list for comparison.
Yu Wenyuan glanced at the gift list twice, and sneered at the people beside him: "Now there are always some nouveau riche in the countryside, thinking that with a few dollars, they can climb the high branches. But I don't know that no matter how much money there is, it can't cover the vulgar taste on them. ”
The others echoed a burst of laughter, and surrounded Yu Wenyuan to continue toasting, all of them treating Ye Su as air.
Ye Su is not really a nouveau riche, but he is still quite unhappy when he is accused of scolding Huai like this.
"I don't like it, but I should return the money, a trafficker is forced to pretend to be something. These words were not just thought in his heart, Ye Su scolded them in a grand manner.
Although there is a lot of noise now, these words are really harsh. The surrounding guests suddenly fell silent, although Yu Wenyuan did not look back, he was obviously breathing a lot, and the wine glass in his hand was pinched and smashed.
Many people have heard that the Yuwen family is involved in human trafficking, but no one has ever caught the evidence, let alone stabbed it in front of others. Moreover, even if you don't know about human trafficking, it's unheard of to ask for gift money in person. This meeting is as embarrassing as it is.
However, the courtyard is very large, and the other guests don't know what's going on here. After a few seconds, all the guests became lively again.
Yu Wenyuan's face turned pale, and he called the steward: "Go check and see what the nouveau riche is." If there is no one behind them, let them stay in Taishan County forever. ”
"The villain understands. The steward replied with a wicked smile and quickly followed Ye Su.
If there is really a background, how can he take advantage of the birthday banquet to come to Yuwen's house to hug his thighs. At this time, in the hearts of Yu Wenyuan and the steward, Ye Su and the so-called Su family were already dead.
Ye Su pretended not to know, and walked out of the Yuwen family's old house with his head held high.
The steward followed behind, all the way down an alley, and then ...... I saw a group of swordsmen in robes with fierce eyes.
What's going on? The steward was stunned.
"Forty-seven guards with swords, thirteen internal breath masters, five solid qi masters, and the rest are all non-threatening servants and guests......," Ye Su reported to Fang Zhen.
"Well done. Fang Zhen nodded as he swept his gaze towards the steward, and the others were also looking at him coldly.
, killer.
The steward knew what these people were doing in front of him, and now he was about to pee, so he turned around and ran.
"Want to go?" Gao Huichen flew up to stop him, and he snapped into a posture. The steward didn't know what to think, but he even put his hands together and put on a posture. Then, he was locked by Gao Huichen with a sword.
"A human head. Gao Huichen played with two sword flowers and put the sword into the sheath.
"Two two. Ye Su gave an evaluation.
"What did you say?" Gao Huichen was furious.
"Nothing. Ye Su asked Fang Zhen: "When will you act?"
Fang Zhen said: "This place is only more than ten miles away from the North Daying, although the guards there are far from Yuwen. But if you know that this place is being attacked, you can't just let it go. Today, the weather is beautiful, so rainy and rainy, the guests will not stay for long. There is no need to wait until late at night, and only the people of the Yuwen family will be left in the old mansion. We'll wait until then to do it, and we'll do it quickly. ”
Everyone waited for a while, and sure enough, as Fang Zhen said, because it was cloudy, it got dark quickly. Within two hours, the guests were gone. Fang Zhen glanced at the sky, drew his sword, and was about to give the order when there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves at the end of the long street. Looking for prestige, everyone was shocked.
