Chapter 44: Heaven Will Not Kill Me
Under the drizzle, the Nanlong River, which used to be quite lively late at night, is also much depressed today, and many flower boats and green boats are docked along the bank.
Lonely and uninhabited shallows.
"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!" With three sounds, Wu Yuan watched as the three corpses tied to the boulder slowly sank to the bottom of the river!
There was no more splashing.
Since he woke up, he has been through so much that he has been at peace with the killing.
What's more, this is an assassin who has come to assassinate himself.
"Here, it is two miles away from the river beach where I usually practice martial arts, located in the most downstream of the river beach, and five miles away from Wujia Street and Lane." Wu Yuan said silently: "The river is rolling, even if these three corpses finally float, it will take many days, and they will be more downstream, and the probability of finding me is close to zero!" ”
Clue? The three corpses have been stripped naked by Wu Yuan!
Trail? When he rushed over, Wu Yuan had no trace of the grass, and there was no trace at all.
In this Middle-earth, there is no surveillance, and there are no various technological aids.
"This Jiulong Mountain should be a dark organization, three third-rate masters, one of them is close to second-rate!" Wu Yuan's eyes fell on the night clothes on the ground, as well as the dagger and sleeved arrow vehicle that were smeared with poison.
No more clutter.
Recalling the opponent's fighting moves and route just now, Wu Yuan was sure that this was a strictly trained assassin!
It's not that the strength of the three assassins is not strong enough, but if Wu Yuan's strength is too terrifying, and he happens to be meditating on the rooftop, he can gain insight in advance.
Otherwise.
Ordinary second-rate masters are attacked by three people, and there is a high probability that they will also be killed!
"Please ask an ordinary third-rate master to escort it, a thousand taels of silver." Wu Yuan said secretly: "Can you invite such an assassin?" ”
I'm afraid that 10,000 taels of silver is not enough!
"Xu Shouyi, is that you?" Wu Yuan's eyes were cold, there was only such a person he could think of.
Although theoretically.
Some enemies of the Hengyun Sect may also do it to themselves.
But the news that he was specially recruited by the sect was preliminarily decided the day before yesterday, and it has not been fully confirmed, and it has not been made public in the Wu family.
Which force can react so quickly? The first time you get the message, and then you decide to do it right away?
The probability is too small!
After all, Licheng is only a county town, not a government city! Messaging takes time!
"Originally, I still had some scruples, okay, you forced me again and again, don't blame me!" Wu Yuan's eyes were cold.
Many thoughts had already surfaced in Wu Yuan's mind.
"Failed once tonight, it should be a bit of a pause." Wu Yuan's gaze fell to the ground: "Pack up these clothes first." ”
Pack up your clothes, daggers, and other belongings one by one.
After cleaning up the traces of this tidal flat and confirming that there was nothing left, Wu Yuan took this bag of things and left quietly.
Wu Yuan buried these clothes and daggers on the river beach.
Once the body surfaced, a little experienced catcher and twig would search and search along the river.
……
Away from the city drizzle hazy.
But more than 1,000 miles away, the 'Namco City' is a bright moon hanging high, and the moonlight covers the earth.
As the core of Namco, the population of Namco is one of the core towns of the Hengyun Sect's territory, and it is a 'big city' in the world.
Dozens of miles from north to south, a prosperous scene.
To the east of Namco, there is a high mountain, and there are many pavilions on the mountain, and there are a large number of palaces and martial arts arenas, and you can easily overlook the entire Namco Mansion from the mountain.
In one of the halls, even in the middle of the night, it was still brightly lit.
"Gao Yu!"
"But what you say, is it true?" An old man in a black robe with white hair sat on the Taishi's chair and said softly, he had a childish face and was full of energy!
At first glance, he looks only in his sixties.
But Gao Yu, who was standing in the middle hall, knew very well in his heart that the old man in front of him was already a hundred years old, but he was just successful in martial arts.
"Hall Master, what the disciple said is true." Gao Yu said solemnly: "That Wu Yuan's talent is so high that it is rare in the world!" Even if it is Xu Hui, it is difficult to reach him. ”
"Xu Hui?" The white-haired old man muttered.
That was the most talented person that the Hengyun Sect had recruited for more than ten years.
"Gao Yu."
"It stands to reason that I should have gone there in person, but if I went to leave the city specifically this time, it would only attract attention." The white-haired old man said: "On the contrary, it is easy to have accidents." ”
"Plus the gathering of the four families is imminent, I can go back to the sect."
"You, take my warrant, go to the city, and recruit that Wu Yuan into my Hengyun Sect." The white-haired old man said, "What you promised Wu Yuan, after I return to the sect, I will give orders." ”
"Yes." Gao Yu was determined.
What he was most worried about was that the hall master didn't believe in him, and he never rejected some proposals.
"If you want to make a special move, what is the meeting gift you prepared?" The white-haired old man asked suddenly.
"Twenty pieces of the best quenching pill! 10,000 taels of silver! "Cloud Force Extreme Nineteen Styles"! Gao Yu said.
"It's a little bit worse." The white-haired old man shook his head.
"Is this still bad?" Gao Yu was stunned.
In his opinion, this is good enough, after all, it is just a meeting gift, and when Wu Yuan enters the sect, he will have to provide a lot of cultivation resources!
"Please give the hall a signal." Gao Yu saw that the hall master had made up his mind.
"Yellow and white things don't have to be provided." The white-haired old man said, "Gu Ji, bring the things." ”
Bang ~ The side door is pushed open.
A middle-aged man in linen with an ordinary face walked in, his head lowered, and a white jade bottle in both hands.
"What is this?" Gao Yu was curious.
"Open it and smell it, and you'll know." The white-haired old man laughed.
Gao Yu took it from the middle-aged man in Mai, carefully uncorked the bottle, approached his nose, and suddenly felt refreshed!
"This!"
Gao Yu was shocked in his heart, he already understood what it was in his heart, and even plugged the bottle stopper, and immediately looked at the white-haired old man in shock: "Hall Master, this is what the two ancestors helped you get with great difficulty." ”
"I'm old, there's no hope of a breakthrough, I've taken most of this thing, and there's only so little left." The white-haired old man smiled: "Didn't you say that Wu Yuan probably awakened the 'Upper Dantian Palace'?" ”
"This thing may be just right for him!"
"The hall master." Gao Yu couldn't help but say.
"You don't listen to me?" The white-haired old man frowned: "Remember, don't get rid of this thing, I'm just like that, and they may not have it in their hands." ”
"Disciple understands." Gao Yu said solemnly.
Carefully put the jade bottle into a box and put it away.
"Gao Yu, once Wu Yuan's identity is revealed, it will definitely attract snooping from all sides, and someone will accompany him to protect him." The white-haired old man said, "You are not good at protecting. ”
"Gu Ji!"
The white-haired old man said, "This time, you go with the High Protector, and when you escort Wu Yuan safely to the sect, you will come to see me again." ”
"Yes." The middle-aged man in Mai nodded, still keeping his head down.
stood beside Gao Yu.
"The disciple receives the order." Gao Yu also gave up.
He knew in his heart that this 'Gu Ji', who he had never seen before, went to leave the city to protect Wu Yuan.
At the same time, it is also to spy on yourself.
"Hall Master, time is pressing, the disciple will not be delayed, and will rush back to leave the city overnight." Gao Yu said.
"Go ahead!" The white-haired old man waved.
……
Wu Yuan, who was far away from the city, naturally didn't know about the affairs of Nanmeng, so he cleaned everything up and went home to rest by himself.
It seems that nothing has happened!
The next day, after the rain and the sky was clear, Wu Yuan went to the ancestral house as usual, and then 'wandered' around the streets and alleys of Wu's house.
...... "Wu Yuan, are you still alive?" ”
"And unscathed!" Xu Shouyi, who had been waiting in the study of the Xu Mansion all night, listened to the report of his subordinates and almost couldn't believe his ears.
It shouldn't be!
However, he still waved his hand quietly: "Okay, go down, let Commander Liu go and tell the county lieutenant that more city guards will be arranged to patrol the area around Wu Yuan's house, but don't make a mistake." ”
"Yes." How did the guard understand these meanings?
I thought that my own general really cared about Wu Yuan.
"How so?"
Xu Shouyi, who was alone, frowned: "Fifty thousand taels of silver!" Jiulong Mountain obviously promised that it would send a strong enough force to assassinate within a day, then Wu Yuan was only a martial artist, and there were no other masters in the Wu clan. ”
He couldn't figure it out!
Jiulong Mountain, although it is not as good as the Seven Star Tower and the Nine Killing Mansion, it is also a first-class dark force! Credibility is still enough!
Until nightfall.
Xu Shouyi disguised his identity and entered the stronghold of Jiulong Mountain, only to get the envelope and a small package for Jiulong Mountain's explanation of this mission!
He quickly disassembled!
"The operation failed, and the three bronze killers disappeared after entering the streets and alleys of Wujia? Ninety percent chance of death! Suspect that there is a first-class master to protect Wu Yuan, so you give up the mission? Xu Shouyi was dumbfounded and looked at the contents of the letter.
It was more than he expected.
A first-class expert?
He had already confirmed that Gao Yu had left the Martial Academy, and the first-class master was not a cabbage, how many first-class masters were there in the entire Nanmeng County?
This is also the reason why Jiulongshan gave up the mission.
There are first-class masters, and the difficulty of assassination is too high, 50,000 taels of silver?
100,000 taels of silver is not enough!
"Rubbish!"
"This Jiulong Mountain is a bunch of waste!" Xu Shouyi's eyes flickered, looking at the pile of silver tickets in the open package.
There are only 20,000 taels of silver tickets.
Three bronze killers are missing.
Therefore, even if the operation failed, Jiulongshan gave up the task and still charged the cost of '30,000 taels of silver', and only returned 20,000 taels!
I thought about it for a long time.
"The possibility of Jiulong Mountain deceiving me is very low!" Xu Shouyi shook his head slightly and said, "Is there really a first-class master guarding it?" ”
"The sect is also too cautious."
As far as he knew, unless the special move was really confirmed, the sect would not send a master to directly protect it.
At the very least, there will be no first-class masters.
"How much silver do you need to continue the assassination?" Xu Shouyi asked directly.
"No, we're just a rudder, and we don't have the ability to kill first-class masters." The black-robed man belonging to Jiulong Mountain shook his head and said, "What's more, this Wu Yuan is extremely valued by the Hengyun Sect, and the risk is too high, do you really want us to ask a master to kill him from the headquarters?" At least 500,000 taels! ”
"Five hundred thousand taels?" Xu Shouyi glared.
It's too dark! It's darker than the Nine Killings!
However, Xu Shouyi understood that this was the reason why the Nine Killing Mansion did not know that Wu Yuan was guarded by first-class masters.
Otherwise, the asking price of the Nine Killings Mansion would only be higher.
"I'm in trouble." Xu Shouyi got up and left the Jiulong Mountain stronghold, and the more the sect attached importance to Wu Yuan.
In the future, once Wu Yuan retaliates, the more terrifying it will be.
Sneak all the way.
Xu Shouyi returned to his mansion.
Not long after he changed his clothes, Steward Xu hurried over: "General, big thing, big thing!" ”
"Big deal? What's the big deal? Xu Shouyi endured his inner irritability.
"General."
Steward Xu said: "These days, I have been arranging for someone to investigate the matter of the Fierce Tiger Gang, and I have basically found out why that mysterious gunman joined the Fierce Tiger Gang!" ”
"Why?" Xu Shouyi was also aroused.
"It's for a token." Steward Xu handed over two pieces of paper and said: "Then Yang Long killed almost all the people in the know of Yizhuang for this thing, and only two of them survived, and we caught them and forced them to ask them, this is the shape of the token they traced." ”
Xu Shouyi connected.
Take a look at it.
"Chu Jiang Ling?" Xu Shouyi's eyes lit up, and his breathing became short.
"Heaven will not kill me!"
